The queen is sober in the world, and she is winning every step of the palace fight.

Chapter 142: Become Yu Shilang's adopted daughter? No, no, no

The emperor usually called her Zhaoqing as a term of endearment.

Calling Zhaoqing in public at the birthday banquet yesterday was a deliberate provocation to the Queen Mother.

Today, she suddenly changed her name to "Wanwan", which made her seem a bit closer than Zhaoqing...

He was moved and felt that she was very considerate.

Why?

Fei Wan knew very well that the dilemma she presented to the emperor was exactly what he wanted.

If you want to be virtuous, you will lose your life. If you want to fulfill your wish to accompany the emperor, you must fight.

The emperor probably empathized with her.

If you want to be filial and have a good reputation, you will lose your royal power. If you want to rule the world and realize your ambitions, you will have to disobey the Queen Mother.

He told her how to be the favorite concubine of Daliang and the emperor's woman.

Isn't it also to strengthen his own determination——

I am the emperor, I have done nothing wrong, and I will not tolerate any provocation!

Fei Wan's kneeling not only eliminated the emperor's last bit of moral pressure on the disobedient empress dowager, but also brought her one step closer to the emperor's heart.

It also gives me a reason to slowly show my talents in the future.

It was the emperor who taught her to be brave and to fight!

"Your Majesty, thank you for letting me live in Chunxi Palace. I went to visit Yu Gengyi today and wanted to ask her if she had any old things that I could give her. After all, she was the former owner of Chunxi Palace, and also my former master..."

Fei Wan sat in the sedan chair and walked all the way, enjoying the shock and kneeling of the palace maids and low-ranking concubines on the road, and did not let the sedan chair move back.

The Empress Dowager had been making things difficult for her first, she just wanted to let everyone in the palace see how much the Emperor doted on her, to make everyone fear her, envy her, and want to depend on her!

"Did I do something wrong? I went there without asking for permission from His Majesty beforehand..."

She was the first to bring up the matter of meeting Yu Tingjin and endorsed her in front of the emperor.

To prevent others from gossiping and letting the emperor hear the news indirectly.

Xiao Yu listened, but he was not very interested. He just said: "If you want to go, go. But she treated you harshly, and you still considered her? It seems that you even called a medical officer for her."

"Your Majesty, do you know?" Fei Wan had been doing this for the others, especially the Emperor, but she feigned surprise and embarrassment. "I simply wanted to use my kindness to dispel the resentment in Yu Gengyi's heart. We were master and servant before, and I don't want to create any bad karma."

After a pause, she sighed and said, "I will try my best. If I cannot meet your expectations in the end, I will have a clear conscience."

It not only shows that she is not just a pushover, but also makes the emperor understand that Yu Gengyi does not accept her kindness, and she is afraid that her efforts will be in vain in the end.

Xiao Yu snorted coldly: "She has a strong temper. The Yu family has raised a good daughter!"

He actually hated Yu Tingjin and the Yu family.

Fei Wan thought of Yu Tingjin's foolish look as he hoped to regain favor, and sneered in his heart.

She stopped talking, remained silent, and stayed quietly beside the emperor.

Passing by a bamboo forest, the green bamboos are cool and the green is deep.

There are a few clumps of orchids interspersed among them, and the elegant white flowers are like warm jade, and the air is filled with elegant fragrance.

Xiao Yu leaned on the sedan chair, took a few deep breaths of the fragrance, his expression relaxed, and when he turned his head, he smiled again:

"Speaking of your identity, from what I've seen, you do bear some resemblance to Minister Yu. But only two or three points at most, not much."

This is also a pitfall.

Fei Wan stood up from the sedan chair and replied respectfully, determined not to fall into a trap.

"Your Majesty, when I first entered the Minister's residence, it was indeed Master Huizhen who claimed I was their long-missing daughter. I didn't believe it at the time, but later it was proven that Master Huizhen was mistaken. I thought it was a misunderstanding, or perhaps a joke. I never expected that after receiving your favor, someone would bring up the past, causing an even greater joke."

Fei Wan's face, as beautiful as orchid and snow, was tinged with a layer of gloom.

Like the orchid grass on the roadside hidden by the shadows of bamboo, its jade-like color is shrouded in shadow.

"When I was little, my family was poor and hard, and I only thought life was hard. Later, after working as a slave for more than ten years, I realized that life at home was just about lack of food and clothing, and being hungry and cold, but not being beaten or scolded all day long. That was not really hardship.

Unfortunately, although my adoptive parents treated me well, they passed away early. I still don’t know where my biological parents are. Maybe they were also unfortunate people and died a long time ago, leaving me outside to be picked up by others.

I am afraid that I will never have the chance to know whose daughter I am in this lifetime."

She clearly wanted to cry, but she forced a smile, which made Xiao Yu's heart tighten.

I feel a little anxious.

Her slight doubts were completely dispelled.

"Late night."

He reached over from the sedan chair and patted Fei Wan's arm twice. "If you are willing, let Yu Zhong adopt you as his adopted daughter, record you as his wife, and enter you into the family tree. In this way, the turmoil will become a good story, and it will also be the blessing of the Queen Mother."

Is it really deceiving the king...

Although he didn't know the details of what happened back then.

But he had already judged that Yu Zhong and Yu Tingjin must be hiding something, and Fei Wan was most likely innocent.

Because of Zhaoqing's letter to the Yu family, he already knew the details. Zhaoqing suffered so much that she never believed that she was the daughter of the Yu family. It was reasonable.

After all, who would let their own daughter become a slave?

"His Majesty?!"

Fei Wan had long expected that she would be forgiven by the emperor.

Because the letter she sent to the Yu family that night would definitely be seen by the emperor, she was sending it to the emperor!

She dared to act at the birthday party.

She was certain that the emperor trusted her.

But she really didn't expect that the emperor would actually give her such an idea...

Adopting a daughter and adding her to the family tree...

That's no different from a real legitimate daughter.

The relationship bestowed by the emperor is more noble than real gold.

Your Majesty, you really killed two birds with one stone. Not only did you protect her, but you also covered up the bloody incident at the birthday banquet, and fulfilled your filial piety. Tsk!

But since it was a relationship bestowed by the emperor, why not give her a higher-ranking court official as her father?

For example, the old minister Zhu Fushan at the birthday banquet had a higher official position, more seniority, and more power than Yu Zhong.

He is much more cunning than Yu Zhongzheng.

She accepted Yu Zhong as her biological daughter, after all, she couldn't choose her father. But if it was a gift from the emperor, bah! She didn't care about that bastard Yu Zhong.

"Your Majesty, absolutely not. I dare not obey you!"

She jumped off the sedan chair and almost rolled on the ground, which really scared the palace servants.

She ignored the palace maids' support and knelt down to kowtow to the emperor, begging him to retract his impulsive idea.

"How could I, a humble concubine, be the daughter of a minister? If this were to become known to the world, I would only invite ridicule. I fear that even more censors would submit memorials criticizing me. I wish to die to silence the rumors and preserve the reputation of Your Majesty!"

Xiao Yu was startled by her passionate pleading and became a little more sober.

Indeed, censors are annoying.

After weighing the pros and cons for a moment, he nodded: "Okay, I'll do as you say."

Fei Wan thanked him and stood up.

He got back into the sedan chair and went to Changle Palace with the emperor.

This little setback suddenly gave Fei Wan a new idea.

It seems that in addition to the status of the Minister's daughter, she can also ask the emperor to grant her a better status...

So, after she got the identity that belonged to her, she could add another layer of gilding, right?

"Good health, Her Majesty the Concubine."

Arriving at Changle Palace, Fei Wan bowed to Concubine Xian in a proper manner.

The virtuous concubine did not feel jealous that she and the emperor came together.

Because Concubine Xian is now focused on another thing and is very excited.

"Your Majesty, I have something important to report!"

As soon as Xiao Yu sat down to drink tea, Concubine Xian had someone bring in an old nun with ragged clothes and a face covered in black dust.

"Your Majesty, Huizhen was not burned to death. I have found her. Now, the identity of Zhao Ronghua's sister can be clearly determined!"
