Chapter 254 Great Idea

Chu Tianzheng was not dead and did not need to prepare for his funeral, but the fact that he was injured by the shadow guard reminded the Queen Mother of the shadow guard next to Chu Qinghuang.

"His name is Fucang?"

"Yes." Feng Ping replied respectfully, "I heard he is the number one master of the Dark Pavilion."

The number one master in the dark pavilion?

The Queen Mother narrowed her eyes and looked at the soft and white pet in her palm, and said in a cold voice: "The Ai family remembers that a child was sent to the dark pavilion sixteen years ago."

Feng Ping was startled and bowed further: "Report to the Queen Mother, it's him."

The Queen Mother paused and slowly raised her eyes to look at him: "Is that him?"

Feng Ping nodded.

"This is really interesting." The Queen Mother smiled coldly, "Chu Qinghuang doesn't know his identity, does he?"

"have no idea."

"What is her attitude towards this shadow guard?"

"It seems to be doing well recently." Feng Ping was also puzzled, "I heard before that Her Royal Highness the Princess hates this shadow guard the most and is often blamed. However, I have never heard of the shadow guard being abused during this period."

When the Queen Mother heard this, her stern eyes became more thoughtful: "The Ai family also thought that this shadow guard would die sooner or later, but they didn't expect that he was allowed to live. The more he lived, the more Chu Qinghuang valued him."

Feng Ping glanced at her carefully: "What does the Queen Mother mean..."

The Queen Mother did not speak, lying silently on the carved phoenix brocade couch, her expression cold and unpredictable, even her actions of stroking her little pet had a bit of a sinister meaning.

"Long live the Queen Mother! Long live the Queen Mother!"

The Queen Mother was slightly refreshed. Looking at the little beloved in front of her, there was finally a smile on her face: "You are good at pleasing the Ai family."

Feng Ping smiled and said: "This little thing is indeed cute."

"Chu Qinghuang's birthday banquet is coming soon." The Queen Mother couldn't help but feel a little gloomier when she mentioned this, "The Queen knows how to do favors, but she actually plans to give her a grand event in the palace."

Feng Ping lowered his head and did not dare to speak.

The Queen Mother obviously doesn't take the Queen Mother to heart, otherwise she would worry about the Queen Mother's mood. After all, the Queen Mother's birthday has just passed. As the most noble woman in the palace, the Queen Mother's birthday is simple, but now she wants to A princess's birthday party was held grandly.

One can imagine the Queen Mother's mood.

"The Queen Mother, calm down! The Queen Mother, calm down!" A soft and childish voice sounded, as if she was being coquettish, "Long live the eldest princess! Long live the eldest princess!"

The first half of the sentence was about to make the Queen Mother feel comfortable, but the second half made her expression suddenly change.

"What did you say?" She stared at the little pet in front of her with a murderous look in her eyes, "Say it again!"

Little Beloved was so frightened by her fierce aura that she shivered and instantly curled up, daring not to move.

"Queen Mother, calm down." Feng Ping quickly spoke to comfort him, "I don't know if this little darling was taught by someone recently. It was clearly not like this when he first came here."

It's not okay to say "Long live" all the time.

Saying "Long live the Queen Mother" is considered to make the Queen Mother happy. Isn't it treasonous to say "Long live the eldest princess"?

Feng Ping asked someone to bring a small basket covered with soft velvet, put the little pet in, patted its body gently, and placed the basket on the small bed specially prepared for the little pet, so that he could sleep and stop messing around. call.

"The Emperor is now devoted to doting on Chu Qinghuang, and even the status of the Ai family is not as good as hers." The Queen Mother said in a cold tone, "Does Concubine Duan know about Tianzheng's beating?"

"You should know it by now."

The Queen Mother sneered: "The Ai family doesn't believe it. She can really watch her son being bullied and remain indifferent."

Feng Ping should be.

"Feng Ping." The Queen Mother slowly sat upright, holding a tea cup. Her exquisite long armor had a sharp and gloomy sheen. "You said that when the little thing shouted 'Long Live', did someone teach it on purpose?"

Feng Ping was startled and quickly turned to look at the nuns and maids serving in Renshou Palace. The two nuns responsible for taking care of Xiao Chong knelt down in panic: "The Queen Mother is aware that I don't dare! I will never dare to talk carelessly. ”

The Queen Mother frowned and glanced at them: "I didn't tell you."

The two nuns breathed a sigh of relief: "Thank you, Queen Mother."

"The Queen Mother means..." Feng Ping frowned and an incredible thought came to his mind, "Is it the eldest princess?"

The Queen Mother did not speak. She stroked the tea cup with her armored fingers, her eyes filled with a strange cold light, and she silently recalled everything that Chu Qinghuang had done during this period.

After a long while, she said coldly: "No matter who taught it, since the little thing shouted these words, it is a great note to the Ai family."

Feng Ping was puzzled.

"Find a way to tell the truth to the Queen." The Queen Mother narrowed her eyes and her voice was as cold as frost. "It is said that Chu Qinghuang is the daughter of destiny, and Xiqi is afraid that she will have a Queen... and arrange for reliable people at the same time. Let's go out of the palace and spread this rumor. The Ai family really wants to see if the queen will show favor to Chu Qinghuang after hearing these rumors."

Seeing that the crown prince was about to be acquired, a prophecy suddenly appeared that a woman would dominate the world. The queen didn't know if she would issue a killing order.

Feng Ping nodded: "Yes, I will make arrangements now."

"One more thing."

"The Queen Mother is referring to..."

"The Ai family remembers that three months ago, Chu Qinghuang made a solemn promise in front of the emperor that envoys from Dongling would come before July. It will be July soon, but there has been no movement at all." The Queen Mother's eyes A cold light flashed through my heart, "Contact the ministers in the court, especially the Ministry of Household Affairs, and ask the emperor how to prepare the tribute gift to Dongling this year?"

Feng Ping suddenly understood and accepted the order with a smile: "The Queen Mother is wise."

It is now July, as promised by the princess. If the Dongling envoy does not come, it means that the princess has broken her promise. The greater the hope, the greater the disappointment. The emperor will definitely be dissatisfied with the princess's breach of promise, and the ministers will not miss this opportunity.

The tribute has not yet been settled, but the princess' birthday banquet is going to be grand. Can the national treasury afford it?

Just think about it and you will know what kind of reaction will be triggered when the ministers' dissatisfaction intensifies.
