I'm already dressed like a fool, what's wrong with taking the regent into the bridal chamb

Feng Junxiao looked serious, but he didn't have the tough attitude he had in the past. He looked more helpless.

He looked at Wen Qingzhi and his gaze gradually softened. "If anything happened to Little Xiang Fei and her child, at least the four major vassal states would be dismayed with Bei Ming."

"The Beiming of today is no longer the Beiming of the past. Due to repeated natural disasters, the national treasury is no longer sufficient. Heavy snow has continued in many places in recent days, and many people have frozen to death..."

At this point, Feng Junxiao's eyes, which had always been calm, finally became tinged with anger. It was unclear whether he was angry at the emperor's inaction, or at something else.

Wen Qingzhi had anticipated the heavy snow, so she prepared everything she needed in advance.

As time went by, the snow continued to fall, and many people in the capital were suffering.

The prices of rice, flour and diesel have all increased, and many people have been tightening their belts and are afraid to eat or drink.

She didn't believe that Feng Junsu was unaware of any of the changes. So far, it seemed that he had not taken any countermeasures to deal with this matter.

As Feng Yunxiao said, Beiming's national strength is not as strong as before. They have just solved the external threat, but the internal troubles are still there. If something happens to Xiao Xiangfei again, the consequences will be unimaginable.

Feng Junxiao was never afraid of fighting. He just didn't want the people to suffer, especially in this season when people were starving.

"Wen Qingzhi, you are a smart person. You should be clear about the current situation."

As he spoke, Feng Junxiao sighed rarely, seeming to be very tired.

After hearing what he said, Wen Qingzhi remained silent, then added, "In short, I will do my best. However, there are some uncontrollable factors that Your Highness needs to eliminate."

"Ah."

Feng Junxiao nodded and said, "Let's go."

The two of them got back on the palace's carriage, went back to pick up Chang Yan, and headed towards the palace.

On the way, Chang Yan sat beside Wen Qingzhi, shivering.

She never imagined that she would ride in the same carriage with the Prince Regent.

Even if the other party didn't make a sound, his breathing could bring Chang Yan a great sense of oppression.

help...

Chang Yan moved closer to Wen Qingzhi, tilted her head to her ear, and whispered, "Azhi... When can we get there? I feel a little breathless. The regent is too oppressive."

Wen Qingzhi raised her eyes, glanced at Feng Yunxiao, and shook her head at her, "We'll be there soon."

Chang Yan secretly breathed a sigh of relief, but Feng Yunxiao's words almost made her cry.

"We haven't reached Yongding Gate yet, it's still early."

"..."

Feng Junxiao could hear their low voices, which showed how profound this person's internal strength was.

It seems that I can't say bad things about him in front of him from now on.

Chang Yan felt even more helpless. She sat there helplessly, feeling the oppression from Feng Junxiao.

It made her feel like she was about to suffocate.

Oh my God, what have I done to deserve to ride in the same carriage with this evil spirit!

Chang Yan was feeling very uneasy and looked outside from time to time. After seeing Yongding Gate, he breathed a sigh of relief.

Finally…it’s almost there!

"I need the pulse diagnosis of Little Fragrant Concubine. I hope the Regent can arrange it."

Wen Qingzhi suddenly spoke up and asked for information related to Xiao Xiangfei.

Chang Yan looked over and saw Feng Junxiao was now awake. She asked, "What else do you need? Tell me everything and I will have it prepared and sent to you tomorrow."

Wen Qingzhi thought about it carefully. "There's nothing special about it. The only thing I need to pay attention to is the safety of Xiao Xiangfei, Chang Yan, and me. I don't want to miss the chance to have a reunion dinner because of this."

Reunion dinner?

Feng Junxiao frowned.

Does she want to have a reunion dinner with Zheng Lin?

……

For some reason, Chang Yan felt that Feng Junxiao's expression became even uglier after Wen Qingzhi finished speaking.

It looks like it's going to eat people...

"After entering the palace, the emperor will definitely summon me. What should I say?"

"be honest."

Wen Qingzhi was stunned.

Is he trying to take all the responsibility on himself?

"have a question?"

Feng Junxiao narrowed his eyes and stared at her.

"No."

Wen Qingzhi turned her head away, thinking that this matter would not end easily, and the emperor would not let her go easily.

If she reported the truth, the emperor would definitely think that she and Feng Junxiao were in cahoots.

By then, life in the capital will become even more difficult for both her and the Wen family.

What if she is really loyal to the emperor?

impossible.

She is not used to being a dog for others.

In addition, Feng Yunsu's previous actions have ruined all her favorability, and she will be even less likely to cooperate.

After all, Chang Yan is a girl from aristocratic family. Even though she was arrogant and domineering in the past, she knows how to judge the situation.

The conversation between the two made her uneasy.

She looked at Wen Qingzhi and suddenly understood her current situation.

Chang Yan once envied Wen Qingzhi, who was alone, free and didn't have to worry about anything.

Now, she gradually discovered that Wen Qingzhi's life was not easy.

Internal and external troubles are the kind that cannot be eradicated.

The burden of the entire Marquis' Mansion falls on Wen Qingzhi. For the sake of those people in the Marquis' Mansion, she has to compromise with everyone and do things she doesn't like to do.

It seems that Wen Qingzhi is not as comfortable as she looks.

Therefore, Chang Yan felt a little more distressed towards Wen Qingzhi.

Soon, they entered the palace with Feng Yunxiao's token and were led by the palace servants to the Xiangyun Palace, the palace of Concubine Xiaoxiang.

Although it is not as good as the main hall, it is luxurious enough.

In the palace, the only way to tell whether a concubine is out of favor is not only through the daily food and clothing, but also through the palace.

Xiangyun Palace has one main hall and two side halls, with luxurious and eye-catching decorations.

There was a row of oriental pearls as big as pigeon eggs placed at the door. Chang Yan roughly counted them and found that there were about twenty or thirty of them.

On both sides of the path are delicate flowers made of porcelain, which are still blooming even in this cold winter.

Chang Yan couldn't help but sigh, "Is this the treatment of a favorite concubine?"

This was also Wen Qingzhi's first time entering the harem, and she couldn't help but be surprised at the treatment of the favorite concubine.

Judging from the dazzling array of treasures and rare gems in this palace alone, the Emperor must be very fond of Concubine Xiang.

After all, the things at the door alone are worth a lot of money.

On the side, the maid leading the way laughed, as if mocking the two people's inexperienced appearance.

"My queen is the most favored in the palace. The pearls at the gate alone are worth a fortune. My queen is the first in the palace to receive such treatment."

She smiled, her back straight, her waist as slender as a willow, and she swayed as she walked.

Wen Qingzhi and the other person looked at each other, then raised the corners of their lips and smiled.

Everything that goes up must come down. Don’t you understand this principle?

The little Xiang Fei was so favored that she was a thorn in the eyes and flesh of others, both in the harem and in the court.

Judging from her palace alone, Wen Qingzhi didn't see how much the emperor loved her, but rather - how much he hated her.

Everything here went beyond the ancestral rules, exceeding the limit. She didn't believe that no one knew about it, yet she still indulged in it. This proved that there must be something bigger hidden behind it.

Seeing that the two of them didn't respond, the maid turned around and snorted coldly.

"The fact that you can come and help our master with her pregnancy is a blessing you have earned through many lifetimes."

After hearing this, Wen Qingzhi sneered.

"why are you laughing?"

The maid stopped and looked at Wen Qingzhi with an arrogant look.

He glanced at the two of them with disdain and said, "I'm warning you, my mistress is pregnant now and cannot serve the emperor. It's best not to have any inappropriate thoughts."

"If you honestly help my master to have a safe pregnancy, you will definitely benefit from it."

Chang Yan frowned, unhappy.

Wen Qingzhi never allows herself to be wronged. She was already unhappy about being suppressed by the two royal brothers, so naturally she would not be suppressed by a maid at this moment.

"If the Regent hadn't come forward, we wouldn't have come at all."

Wen Qingzhi looked over coldly, "You're just a maid, where do you get such high authority?"

"I am the daughter of the Marquis of Zhenguo. Even the Emperor has to give me some face for the sake of the Marquis's family."

"Who do you think you are?"

On the side, Chang Yan looked at Wen Qingzhi in shock, thinking that she was so handsome at the moment.

This was the first time the maid was questioned like this.

You know, even people from the Queen's Palace have to be courteous when they see people from Xiangyun Palace.

Her father is just a marquis, how dare he speak to her like that?

"Haha," the maid sneered, "he's just a marquis, but he has to kneel when he sees my master!"

After that, she shouted, "Someone come!"

Several people quickly appeared and surrounded Wen Qingzhi and the other two. "How dare these two disrespect the Empress? Teach them a lesson! Let them learn this lesson!"

This person is Xiao Xiangfei's personal maid, not from Beiming, so naturally she doesn't know how much value the three words "Marquis of Zhenguo" have in Beiming.

Not to mention the little Xiang Fei, even if it was the emperor, her father would not kneel.

reason?

The kingdom of Beiming was built by the Wen family with their flesh and blood!

Many of them are from Bei Ming. They all grew up listening to stories about Wen Hou. How could they attack Wen Qingzhi?

"Sister Xing'er...Miss Wen, you can't fight!"

If Wen Qingzhi was beaten here and the news got out, they would probably be killed!

In order to appease the public anger and give Miss Wen justice, the emperor will certainly take action against these servants.

"Can't fight? Why can't I fight?"

The maid named Xing'er looked at her coldly and said angrily, "She dares to disrespect the Empress and deserves the death penalty!"

Chang Yan finally saw her past self today, and the words "arrogant and domineering" were fully displayed.

Wen Qingzhi also began to regret that she should not have agreed to Feng Yunxiao in the first place.

If I hadn't agreed to him, I wouldn't have met this idiot.

"What are you all standing there for? Why don't you take action?!"

"This……"

The others looked around, and no one wanted to be the first to take action.

Seeing this, Xing'er became furious.

He raised his hand and slapped Wen Qingzhi, but before his hand touched Wen Qingzhi's face, Wen Qingzhi took the initiative to strike.

Wen Qingzhi used all her strength to slap Xing'er to the ground, and her screams resounded through the sky.

"You dare to hit me?!"

Xing Er turned her head and yelled, her eyes wide open, her eyeballs slightly bulging, looking like a demon. "What are you still looking at? Why don't you do it!?"
