Chapter 41 Feng Lingzun has a new idea
Feng Lingzun returned to the imperial study with a heavy heart. Before he had time to review today's memorial, someone hurried to the door, saying that there was something important to report.
Eunuch Yu immediately stepped forward to find out the situation.
After listening to that person's report, he excitedly walked to Feng Lingzun's side and whispered.
"Really?" Feng Lingzun immediately stood up.
"That's what they said."
"Go and have a look."
Feng Lingzun said as he walked around the desk and walked out.
Under the guidance of Father Yu and another father-in-law, Feng Lingzun came to the yard where experiments were conducted in secret.
The terrain here is simulated to be similar to the drought-stricken area.
Now there are many shelves built on it, all of which are made according to the design that Shangguan Xiaoxiao gave him.
Feng Lingzun watched them operate the activation mechanism while pulling the water in the pond to the other side. This operation seemed to be labor-intensive, but it completely solved the situation of dry land without water.
It seems that Shangguan Xiaoxiao's drawings are really useful.
Feng Lingzun knew that this drought-stricken land could be resolved, and he couldn't care about anything else when he was excited. He immediately called a few ministers who were close to him, and everyone discussed it and decided to implement this plan.
However, the craftsmen may be able to complete this big project, but untrustworthy people will supervise it. If someone cut corners during the construction, or did not act sincerely, I am afraid that it will cause greater losses, so Feng Lingzun thought about it. I had no choice but to ask the left side to come forward.
The reason for this is simple.
Because, the disciples of the Right Prime Minister are intertwined in private, and their power is growing day by day. Feng Lingzun is very clear about this.
The reason why he wanted to let Concubine Liu enter the palace, and to favor Concubine Liu, was that he had such a trump card in his hand, and hoped that the Right Prime Minister would think twice before doing things.
But those who achieve great things will inevitably be ruthless.
If he turns his face and doesn't recognize Concubine Liu's daughter, then he has to fight back.
Only under the intentional traction of Feng Lingzun, the left side has the power to restrain each other with the right side, but if one side breaks, it is difficult to guarantee that the other side will not have any thoughts.
But the only thing that reassured him was that the Zuo Xiang only had a daughter like Shangguan Xiaoxiao. Even if he wanted to achieve great things, he would have no heir to inherit it. This was the most important reason for him to use Zuo Xiang with confidence.
Now it seems that maybe he should make this relationship stronger, for example, let Shangguan Xiaoxiao have a child.
As long as Shangguan Xiaoxiao has a child, then as the child's grandfather, Zuo Xiang will definitely do his best to defend the throne for the royal family.
That night, Feng Lingzun summoned Shangguan Qiyun, the left minister, in the imperial study.
In order to sell favors to Zuo Xiang, Feng Lingzun specially asked Eunuch Yu to go to Fuxi Palace, and asked Concubine Xi to bring supper in person.
Shangguan Xiaoxiao was about to go to bed. I heard that he was going to deliver supper, but people were unwilling.
But she couldn't help but go, who made this the imperial edict.
Shangguan went into the kitchen with a smile and was about to cook when Eunuch Yu said, "The emperor specially ordered to prepare one more person's supper."
Thinking of Feng Lingzun's enviable figure, Shangguan smiled and couldn't help but said with a venomous tongue: "Have you eaten supper in the middle of the night, aren't you afraid that your good figure will be gone? Don't pay attention to body management at all."
But after all, she did what she had to do.
Shangguan smiled and made two small dishes, plus special hamburgers and fries, and the supper was finished.
Eunuch Yu has always known that Shangguan Xiaoxiao's craftsmanship is good, but unfortunately he, a servant, dare not ask the master what he wants to eat.
Of course, Shangguan Xiaoxiao is very good at being a man. Since this father-in-law is a popular man next to the emperor, it is always right to have a good relationship. In the future, if he is not sure what bad things the rogue emperor will do, she can still have someone to remind her.
"Eunuch Yu, this is for honoring you. You must eat it while it's hot, otherwise it won't taste good."
This move made Eunuch Yu very happy.
"Concubine Xi, you are too polite, why are you still a servant?"
"As I said, we are all running errands for the emperor, and we must take care of ourselves. Whatever you want to eat in the future, even if you come to my Fuxi Palace, I will cook it for you for free, just as a friend."
Shangguan smiled with a proud look.
After Eunuch Yu heard it, he was even more moved.
"The slave is a eunuch, how dare you be friends with the master. But the mother's words warmed the slave's heart. Don't worry, if there is any news from the emperor in the future, the slave will notify you as soon as possible."
"Then I would like to thank Eunuch Yu. After all, in this harem, it's all about you, me, and everyone, haha!"
While they were talking, the two had already arrived at the imperial study.
In the imperial study, Feng Lingzun was discussing with Zuo Prime Minister Shangguan Qiyun who should be appointed as the supervisor.
After discussing for a long time, they found a few suitable candidates, but they still could not confirm who should be sent.
At this time, Eunuch Yu reported from the outside: "Report to the emperor, Concubine Xi has come to deliver supper."
"come in."
After Feng Lingzun finished speaking, he looked at Shangguan Qiyun's face and found that he really cared about the news of Concubine Xi.
"Zuo Xiang, you and Concubine Xi have not seen each other for a long time, haven't you? Well, Concubine Xi has recently become a celebrity in the harem, and the food she cooks is amazing. It just so happens that you and I will taste Concubine Xi's craftsmanship together."
As a result, just after Feng Lingzun finished speaking, he found that Shangguan Qiyun actually began to wipe away tears.
This old tearful appearance made Feng Lingzun unable to speak.
"Zuo Xiang, you..."
Shangguan Qiyun wiped his tears and said, "Your Majesty, I made you laugh. This daughter, Wei Chen, was spoiled by her mother. She used to keep her fingers free from the sun, but now... Her mother had a heart attack thinking about her daughter, and she had to take decoction every day."
Feng Lingzun's mouth twitched.
Although he trusts Shangguan Qiyun, he also knows that Shangguan Qiyun is a shrewd old fellow. Now he complains here, he just wants to ask for grace from him and let Concubine Xi go home to save his relatives.
This isn't a big deal, it's just a matter of his words.
However, one cannot always follow this old man, otherwise what will be the majesty of his emperor in the future.
"Zuo Xiang, originally I should have let Concubine Xi go home to save her relatives for a few days, but the empress dowager's birthday banquet is just around the corner, and this matter has been handed over to Concubine Xi. If she is not in the palace, how should the empress dowager's birthday banquet be arranged? Why don't we wait until the birthday banquet is over, and I will allow Concubine Xi to go home to visit relatives for three days, how about it?"
Shangguan Qiyun originally thought of trying it out, so he came here.
I didn't expect to be able to win three days for my precious daughter to save relatives now, and I was so excited that I didn't know what to say.
"Weichen. Weichen, thank the emperor for his love."
As soon as the two finished talking, Shangguan Xiaoxiao walked in with a food box. Seeing Feng Lingzun and her current father, Shangguan Qiyun, sitting and drinking tea together, she felt a little uncomfortable.
"Chen and concubine greet the emperor."
Shangguan Xiaoxiao did not dare to greet Shangguan Qiyun rashly.
After all, she is Concubine Xi now, and her father is a courtier. In a sense, his father has to salute her.
