[Rebirth] The wind enters the forest

Chapter 14

Time flies, and it is the end of the year in a blink of an eye.

Although it was cold outside, the earth dragon was burning inside the house, making it very warm.

Wei Feng asked Wan Cui to put away the chessboard and set it up, and sat cross-legged with Lin Gantang to play chess.

Ban Cui brought up some delicate pastries, and after cleaning, put some coats and cloaks on the fire to bake.Wei Feng found someone to carefully measure Lin Gantang's size, and rushed out a lot of clothes before Nian. Later, seeing that Wei's mansion had accumulated a lot of materials anyway, he simply asked to pick brightly colored ones for Ban Cui and Huan. Pearl also made a few body.

Lin Gantang held Bai Zi down on a corner, and said slowly: "Is the empress really falling out with the prince?"

Wei Feng hummed: "I want to marry the prince in front of the queen mother, and ask him to marry the daughter of the minister. I really think that with the prince in my hand, I can turn the world upside down."

Lin Gantang was amused and just shook his head.

Over there, Huanzhu picked up the curtain and came in to salute: "There is a Mr. Cao outside who wants to see Mr. Wei."

Wei Feng nodded: "Call him in."

Huan Zhu blessed Fu and went down, not long after Cao Jixia came in and cupped his hands, "I have seen Lord Wei and Lord Lin."

Wei Feng got up and said with a smile, "You're welcome, it's such a cold day to come to my place."

Cao Jixia glanced at Lin Gantang, then twitched the corners of his mouth to Wei Feng and said, "It's almost a year ago, I think I'm here to see your lord." He took out a gift slip from his sleeve, squeezed it with both hands and handed it over. Go up: "I also beg the adults not to dislike it."

Wei Feng only took a quick glance at the things listed above, and felt clear about it, but he didn't accept it, he just smiled and said, "Master Cao, is he treating me as an outsider? Since you came to see me, you should be with me." Just sit and drink tea and chat, what does this mean?"

Cao Jixia pursed his lips, took a step forward and said in a low voice, "Thanks to your lord's care, I was unable to repay you, so I can only think of you as a good boy, and I have been terrified all day long, and now I am not allowed to step down. Express your mind?"

Cao Jixia was a little thin, with wide cuffs, he vaguely saw the string of beads around his wrist, Wei Feng lowered his eyes and said, "Since Mr. Cao said so, then I will take it." Then he turned his face and ordered Ban Cui to say : "Tell the small kitchen to do some meticulous work, and leave Mrs. Cao for lunch at noon."

Cao Jixia hurriedly said: "Don't dare to disturb Lord Wei's purity, I have something to do later, I will invite you later."

Wei Feng smiled and said: "Since you have something to do, I won't keep you, take care of Concubine He Gui for me."

Cao Jixia handed the gift list to Wei Feng, saluted and said, "It's natural." Then he turned and left.

Lin Gantang sat down and ate half a plate of dim sum, when he saw Wei Feng approaching, he stretched out his hand and said, "What did you bring, let me have a look."

Wei Feng handed him the gift list: "Take whatever you like, so as not to take up space in the warehouse."

Lin Gantang raised his eyes, frowned and said, "These things... I didn't know there was so much money in Dali Temple?"

Wei Feng laughed and said, "Dali Temple is unable to get it out, but Concubine He Gui can."

Lin Gantang put the gift list aside casually: "Concubine He Gui wants to draw a line with He Guang?"

Wei Feng sat down and continued to play chess with him, pretending not to know how many pieces Lin Gantang secretly changed: "He Guang has been finding excuses to trouble me these days, especially after the empress fell out with the prince, she is like a clown. I'm afraid people don't know that he abandoned He Guifei."

Lin Gantang stretched out his hand to grab the snack again: "There are some moths around the corner, but what's going on with Cao Jixia and Concubine He Gui?"

Wei Feng moved the plate away: "Eat less, you won't be able to eat for a while. You are more lenient in other people's affairs. Last time you said you wanted to draw me an ink landscape painting, why did you take so long?"

Lin Gantang patted his face with a smile: "Didn't you say that there is no good wolf hair right now, we have to wait until the weather gets warmer, so you can just wait."

Wei Feng raised his hand to hold Lin Gantang's hand, squeezed his palm for a while, and said with a smile: "It seems that some flesh has grown, unlike the one who touched the bones before."

Lin Gantang coughed and withdrew his hand to touch the tip of his nose.

Over there, Wan Cui came in and said: "My lord, the father-in-law in the palace came in to spread the word that the emperor invited everyone to gather to enjoy the snow at night."

Wei Feng stood up and took away the chess pieces: "Let's pass the meal on. I took a break earlier, and I don't know how long it will be at night."

Earlier, Wei Feng was a little surprised to enjoy some snow, and the cold weather was not uncomfortable, but he didn't know that it was the queen's sister who had arrived.

Although the empress is not favored, the emperor is somewhat jealous of the influence of the empress' mother's family. Although he wanted to take advantage of it in recent years, the empress has never made any mistakes. I closed my eyes.

Now the empress is wearing exquisite makeup, dressed in fancy clothes, and she is quite attractive, and she is carrying a pretty doll, and she goes up to greet the emperor in a soft voice, and the emperor can't help but look at her more. Picking up her, he said with a smile, "Zi Tong, you don't need to be too polite. I see that you look better than before."

The empress felt hot. How long has it been since the emperor mentioned this title?He quickly helped the emperor's arm and said: "The palace was deserted, but it's much better to have a child now." Then he stroked his temples and pursed his lips with a smile: "My sister came to the palace to see me these few days, I'm fine. Talking to me relieves boredom, and it also makes my heart feel better."

The emperor felt a little guilty when he thought about how he had neglected the empress all these years: "In that case, let her stay with you for a few more days."

The queen leaned over to thank her, and walked towards the head of the seat together with the emperor. She looked like a husband and wife deeply in love. Concubine He Gui and the second prince's mother concubine Qi Guifei went forward to salute and then sat down. She has a cute face and big eyes, and she always smiles when she sees everyone, so she immediately pulled Concubine He quietly and said with a smile, "I haven't seen my sister for a few days, is it okay?"

Concubine He Gui knew that this woman's face looked like a woman's, and the son she raised was tricky, so she didn't know how to get in the way behind her back, so she just smiled and said, "It's still the same old way, it's cold and cold. I'm lazy, and I don't like to go out, or I'll go to your place to see you."

Concubine Qi nodded and said: "Hey, we want to go together. I heard that the queen's sister is coming, and I am curious. Don't you just want to take a look at this opportunity? Who knows that the queen didn't bring her along." come."

Concubine He Gui rolled her eyes in her heart and said who told you, us, you little bitch, but on the face she took her hand and said: "Sister, I dare not say this nonsense. This is a family banquet. Please, the empress." What's the point of having a sister? It's not proper etiquette."

Concubine Qi covered her mouth with a handkerchief and said: "You are timid and dare not speak out, but I am quick-talking. Even though this is a family banquet, isn't it that a distinguished minister is invited?" She glanced at He Guang's place as she spoke. .

Concubine He Gui smiled shyly and didn't talk to her, but she took a sneak peek in private, seeing He Guangzheng flirting with the queen, she was very annoyed.When Cao Jixia came to look for her, she was surprised. Knowing that Wei Feng was leading the thread, she understood a little bit, and she wanted to give him face, but the one who came and went was a little concerned about Cao Jixia. After the incident with He Guang last time It was not safe to ask him to come, but it was calm for a while, but he didn't expect He Guang to look at her so quickly and turned his head to find the queen.

Concubine He was so angry that she clenched her hands tightly, but her unworthy son really didn't want to fight for the throne, and she couldn't force him with a knife, so she had to secretly pave the way for him. Thinking of this, Concubine He turned her head slightly, He looked at Wei Feng who was sitting there.

Wei Feng knew that this dinner would definitely not be a good meal, so he sat there waiting for the host to come on stage. He was a little bored for a while, and was stretching out his hand to draw on the edge of the teacup. He also didn't want to eat anything, so he drank a few sips of tea, and pretended to say a few words to Wei Feng that didn't hurt or itch. The minister next to him listened to a few words, and found that it was nothing more than "Master Wei is young and promising, and looks really handsome." I'm ashamed of myself and where is Mr. Lin too polite? Come and drink tea, Mr. Lin, this dress is so beautiful and makes you look good." He didn't listen to the minister who turned around and repeated. Similar words go.

Halfway through the meal, a group of dancers came up and danced with plum blossoms in their hands. For a while, the whole Tai Chi Palace was full of fragrance and refreshing.The queen put down her chopsticks and said with a smile: "Nowadays the plum blossoms reflect the snow, it's quite interesting, shouldn't the emperor go and have a look?"

The emperor got a little drunk after drinking for a while, and said with a smile: "It's good, it's not far from the imperial garden, why don't we go and have a look together."

The queen smiled and said: "What the emperor said is that I have also heard that the plum blossoms in the imperial garden are in full bloom, but I don't have time to go there. I should take a good look at this opportunity."

The emperor got up and said, "I'm happy today, let's set up the imperial garden."

The queen got up, glanced at the minister's table vaguely, and followed the emperor out the door.

The snow on the road has been cleared long ago, and only the ones on the side are left for others to see. The maids on both sides are carrying the lamps all the way, and they can see from a distance that the plum trees have already hung Huang Yingying's palace lanterns, reflecting the flowers and branches against the white snow. It really has a different flavor.

Lin Gantang walked beside Wei Feng, and whispered, "Going to the theater now?"

Wei Feng smiled and said, "Of course it is, let's just watch."

Lin Gantang was a little worried: "Didn't the Empress want to bring my younger sister to you before? Did you do a perfect method?"

If someone asked Wei Feng this question, he wouldn't even have a sneer, but Lin Gantang couldn't tell the pain when he asked, and seeing that the road was dark and there were not many people, he stretched out his hand to straighten his scarf Mao softly said: "Didn't you see that the second prince's cloak looks a bit like mine?"

Lin Gantang glanced at it, it was dark, if he didn't stand beside the palace lantern, he really wouldn't be able to tell the difference.

Wei Feng said slowly: "Earlier when Wan Cui said that when she went to the Guangchu Department to pick up clothes, a woman at the second prince's side talked to her and glanced at her for a few times. Seeing that I joined hands with the queen, I had to act first to try to pinch this thread, which saved me trouble."

Lin Gantang laughed and said: "It's a pity that no matter whether the second prince wants the queen's sister or not, it will only make things difficult for the queen."

Wei Feng nodded and said: "That's the reason. Since she is in a hurry to deliver it, it's better for us to help push it." He raised his eyebrows at Lin Gantang: "Look at the emperor's body, let's be courtiers I should share my worries for the emperor and make him happy by having a happy event in the palace."
