Chapter 66: Should she be made a princess or a concubine in the Eastern Palace?
The capital of Great Chu.
That morning, the first person to get up accidentally glanced at the sky, rubbed his eyes, and jumped three feet high:
"That hood is gone!!"
"Wait, the blizzard has stopped too!!"
People in the entire capital woke up earlier than usual. They were first frightened by the sudden disappearance of the translucent light golden cover, and then they saw the endless azure blue sky.
The joy spread from the outer city to the inner palace.
"Congratulations, Your Majesty. Congratulations, Your Majesty. We have finally gotten through this snowstorm safely!" Chen Wenjin followed behind Emperor Shengwen with a happy face.
Emperor Shengwen stood at the gate of his palace, looked at the sky over the capital city returning to normal, and breathed a long sigh of relief.
God treated him well.
"Is the story of Feng Xiaolou copying the scriptures with his blood still circulating among the people?"
Emperor Shengwen suddenly spoke unexpectedly.
Chen Wenjin was stunned, and quickly bowed and said:
"These rumors are true, but this miracle is clearly due to your Majesty's great fortune..."
Emperor Shengwen raised his hand to stop Chen Wenjin from speaking.
He had known for a few days that there was a widespread rumor in the capital that Feng Xiaolou had copied scriptures with his blood and moved the heavens to send down a miracle.
Naturally, he knew the origin of the miracle, so he wanted to see how Feng Xiaolou was going to continue this drama and what her purpose was.
Until yesterday, even the Empress Dowager couldn't help but ask him to go to the Cining Palace, and praised Feng Xiaolou with emotion on her face.
"I have seen that girl before. She is such a pitiful girl, and her life story is so pitiful..."
When the Queen Mother talked about her life story, she took the silk handkerchief and pressed it to her lips, then continued:
"Since she has moved the heavens, we should not treat her unfairly. In my opinion, we should give her a title to prevent others from bullying us, an orphan and a widow."
Emperor Shengwen wanted to tell the empress dowager the truth, but when he heard what the empress dowager said, a gleam of light flashed in his eyes, so he temporarily put it aside and just smiled and asked:
"My son has also heard about Feng Xiaolou's story. It is said that her biological mother stole the love letter that the Dingbei King wrote to the former princess, and tried to make her pretend to be the concubine of Dingbei King Yue Yuan."
"But I didn't expect that this girl would win the favor of the queen mother."
The Queen Mother's face darkened when she heard this:
"Your Majesty, don't blame me for speaking harshly. Since Feng Xiaolou summoned a miracle, she must have some abilities. Her mother is her mother, and she is her. Moreover, summoning a miracle to save the people from danger is a great merit. I think the flaws do not outweigh the merits. Your Majesty does not need to focus on her background anymore."
There was a hint of coldness on her lips:
"A child like this wanted to recognize Yue Yuan as his father, but Yue Ran ruined the plan. It can only be said that Yue Yuan is unlucky."
Emperor Shengwen looked at the Queen Mother quietly, his face expressionless, and continued to ask:
"Why is Queen Mother so sure that it was Feng Xiaolou who summoned the miracle?"
Unexpectedly, when he asked casually, the Queen Mother hesitated, but her face was full of confidence:
"Of course I have a way to confirm it, Your Majesty. It's rare to find someone as blessed as Feng Xiaolou. I think it's worthy of her to be made a princess."
Emperor Shengwen suppressed the anger in his heart.
Although he asked, he knew it clearly in his mind.
Shouning was punished by him to be under house arrest and was not allowed to enter the palace to accompany his mother for three months. However, she never stopped sending people to the palace, sending a trick today and a small toy tomorrow, which made the queen mother feel more and more sorry for Shouning.
The rumor that Feng Xiaolou summoned miracles was deliberately passed on to the Empress Dowager's ears by the people of Shouning.
Crown Prince Chu Hantian also often arranged for palace servants to praise Feng Xiaolou's "achievements" in front of the Queen Mother.
He just didn't expect that the Queen Mother would even hide this from him.
Emperor Shengwen lowered his eyes, smiled, and said:
"Appoint Feng Xiaolou as a princess? Her identity is just a concubine's daughter, I'm afraid it's not appropriate."
The Queen Mother waved her hand disapprovingly:
"Didn't I say that in the face of the merit of summoning a miracle, one's background is nothing?"
"How about this, I will adopt her as my goddaughter, and there is no need for the emperor to come in person. This way, Feng Xiaolou's identity will be clear."
Emperor Shengwen looked at the Empress Dowager with a half-smile:
"Have you mentioned this idea to the prince?"
The Queen Mother was surprised:
"Prince? Why am I telling him this?"
Emperor Shengwen raised his eyebrows:
"You may not know, mother, that Feng Xiaolou is also the prince's confidante. If you adopt her as your granddaughter, the prince and her will become siblings. I'm afraid the prince won't agree!"
The Queen Mother was a little surprised, then she laughed out loud:
"You should have said it earlier. Why would I bother with this? Your Majesty, you might as well issue an order to make Feng Xiaolou the prince's concubine. It would save us a lot of trouble!"
Emperor Shengwen pinched his nose, took a deep breath and said:
"Mother, please let your son think about it again."
To be a concubine in the Eastern Palace, one must be the daughter of an official of the fourth rank at least.
Shouning and the prince were really capable. They coaxed the empress dowager into giving Feng Xiaolou the status of a concubine in the Eastern Palace with a wave of her hand.
Feng Xiaolou was quite capable, as she was able to get both the Crown Prince and Shouning to pave the way for her identity.
Thinking back to this, Emperor Shengwen looked at the clear sky in front of him and slowly suppressed the anger in his heart.
He knew how this miracle came about, Yue Ran knew it, Wang Chun knew it, but no one else knew it.
Feng Xiaolou shed some blood to copy a Buddhist scripture and just wanted to take the merit for himself. What a big appetite.
The merit has been snatched away from him?
At this moment, Emperor Shengwen suddenly understood Yue Ran's feelings.
It is something that clearly belongs to you, but someone else can snatch it away with just a few sweet words. Who can tolerate this?
Yue Ran almost had his father taken away from him, and his merits as an emperor were about to be robbed.
Emperor Shengwen snorted coldly, and suddenly his eyes blurred and he almost couldn't stand still.
Chen Wenjin hurriedly supported Emperor Shengwen:
"Your Majesty, be careful! Do you want to summon the imperial physician?"
Emperor Shengwen shook his head. His mind had been on the snowstorm recently, so it was inevitable that he couldn't sleep well, and it was normal to feel dizzy.
"Go, tell the prince to wait for me in the imperial study!"
When Chu Hantian rushed to the imperial study, Wang Chun and Chen Wenjin were both waiting at the door of the imperial study. Emperor Shengwen was waiting for him alone in the imperial study.
Chu Hantian calmed himself down, thinking about the layout he had recently made for the small building. He felt a chill in his heart and walked into the imperial study with a nervous ache.
"My son, I pay my respects to my father."
He knelt on the ground, waiting for a long time without hearing Emperor Shengwen's voice.
Chu Hantian bravely looked up and met Emperor Shengwen's expressionless eyes.
He was startled and quickly lowered his head.
Emperor Shengwen would be lying if he said he was not disappointed when he looked at his son.
He used all means to hide the truth for a woman. What was he trying to achieve?
"Do you think that my silence means I agree?"
Chu Hantian lowered his head, cold sweat constantly coming out of his forehead.
He was too hasty in building momentum for Xiaolou, and his father was obviously furious.
Damn it, if it was later, everything would fall into place.
Chu Hantian secretly raised his eyes again and saw Emperor Shengwen rubbing his temples with a pale face. He resisted the urge to raise the corners of his mouth and kowtowed heavily:
"I am guilty, please calm down, Father!"
