The Stratagem of the Concubine of the Cold King

Chapter 115: The Phoenix Star (3)
"Qiuyue, Lianqiao, what you said is good, I will reward you." The third aunt was coaxed by the two maids, and rewarded the two maids when she was happy.

"Qiuyue, Lianqiao thanked my aunt for the reward." The two maids blessed the third aunt at the same time, and each received the reward.

In the entire An Guohou's mansion, the cleanest place is Xiwanqing's Ziyuexuan. After removing a big lady, the third aunt has been in charge of the house for a while, so there are naturally many things to be busy, and she can't take care of Ziyuexuan for the time being. Besides, she didn't believe that the eldest lady was imprisoned in the Taoyuan, and the third aunt had finally won the power of the family. With such a great opportunity, it was impossible to let the eldest lady go so easily.

Xi Wanqing moved the recliner out of the house. Although autumn had passed, the coldness of winter was not yet there. She lay under the high sun, eating melon and fruit snacks comfortably, feeling very happy.

"Miss, the family of Haifu has all moved out of Hanyang City, saying that the emperor sent an imperial decree to let Haicheng go to guard the border." Mo Yu informed Xi Wanqing of the news.

Xi Wanqing was lying on the chair, not moving at all, just narrowing her watery eyes slightly, thinking to herself, if she washed Haifu at night, and then planted the blame on the eldest lady, it would only make the Haifu and the Houfu quarrel. Let the lady be punished, Haicheng was demoted to the frontier, this is a coincidence, or someone did it on purpose, if someone deliberately helped her, who would it be, Feng Yichen.

The word Feng Yichen suddenly appeared in Xi Wanqing's mind. Among the people she knew, only Feng Yichen could help him.

A few days later, on the night of the full moon, Emperor Xuande called Qin Tianjian Zhengguan Jingye to the Zhaixing Pavilion.

The Star Picking Pavilion is a high tower for the emperor of Nanheng Kingdom to watch the sky at night. Since the founding of Nanheng Kingdom, the Star Picking Pavilion has been established. The Star Picking Pavilion is guarded by heavy soldiers. Without the emperor's order, no one will You can step into the Star Picking Pavilion for half a step.

Qin Tianjian Zhengguan Jingye is very good, he not only knows the heavens and the earth, he knows the geography, but also the technique of deduction is nine out of ten accurate, which is highly valued by Emperor Xuande.

Seeing that Guan Jingye was coming, the guards of Your Excellency Zhaoxing put away their weapons and invited him up.

I saw Guan Jingye in a blue and black court dress with auspicious clouds on it, a pair of black moccasin boots under his feet, and a flower feather on his head. He was about 40 years old and had a goatee. His official uniform is somewhat half-celestial.

"Veteran sees the emperor." Guan Jingye went to the Zhaxing Pavilion, and after seeing Emperor Xuande, he bowed respectfully.

Emperor Xuande stood on the Zhaixing Pavilion, and he was looking up at the sky tonight. Eunuch Zhao didn't dare to disturb him, so he stood silently and waited carefully.

After hearing Guan Jingye's voice, Emperor Xuande turned around.

"Guan Aiqing is here, get flat quickly." Emperor Xuande looked at Guan Jingye majestically and told him to stand up.

"Thank you, Your Majesty." After Guan Jingye thanked Emperor Xuande, he slowly stood up.

After Guan Jingye got up, Emperor Xuande put his hands behind his back and looked up at the sky again. He looked at the sky for a long time before he said: "Guan Aiqing, I see that the sky is a bit chaotic recently. Is there any trouble?"

When Emperor Xuande raised his eyes to look at the sky, Guan Jingye also raised his head. Hearing Emperor Xuande's question, he stroked the goatee on his chin and said, "My Majesty, the old minister has also been at home lately these days. Looking at the sky, the clouds and smoke around the Ziwei constellation represent the murderous spirit, and there may be a catastrophe in the world, but today the Ziwei constellation is dim, but the Phoenix star representing the Phoenix Lord is extremely bright, only the light of the Phoenix star It can relieve the hostility on Ziwei Emperor Star, Your Majesty, whoever wins the Phoenix Star wins the world."

"The one who wins the phoenix star wins the world." Emperor Xuande repeated Guan Jingye's words repeatedly, and then turned his head to ask: "Guan Aiqing, in your opinion, where is the phoenix star and who is it?" Woolen cloth."

"Hey." Guan Jingye sighed, then shook his head lightly, and said in a somewhat decadent way: "Your Majesty, I am ashamed of you, I have tried divination several times recently, but I have never been able to figure out who is the Phoenix Lord's fate."

"Could it be God's will? I think my Nanheng Kingdom has been peaceful for decades, but now it is really going to be in turmoil." Emperor Xuande spoke with a faint worry.

Guan Jingye saw the old emperor's worry. Although he couldn't figure out who was the real phoenix master's fate, he locked his target on a few noble women, and told the old emperor: "Your Majesty, although the old minister can't figure out who They are the real Feng Xing, but the old minister deduced that among the three noble ladies, Xi Zhuyan, Xi Wanqing, and Bai Mercury from the residence of the Marquis of Anguo, one of them must be the real Feng Xing. Yan, the two daughters of Bai Shuixing were born in the cloudy year and the moon and the moon, and their fate has the aura of a phoenix star, but only the old official Xi Wanqing can't see through her fate. The pattern is very strange."

Emperor Xuande remembered Guan Jingye's words in his heart. After listening to Guan Jingye's words, he didn't say any more. The emperor's deep thoughts were unpredictable.

"Guan Aiqing, you should step back first." Emperor Xuande stopped watching the sky and ordered Guan Jingye to step back first.

"Resignation, veteran." Guan Jingye saluted respectfully again, he walked backwards for about ten steps, and then turned around and went down the Star Picking Pavilion.

In a blink of an eye, it was already December in the 35th year of Xuande, and in December, the annual Qiongfang Feast will be held in the palace of Nanheng Kingdom. Participating, but this year was an accident, Emperor Xuande personally issued an imperial edict to An Guohou's mansion.

The person who went to Anguo Hou Mansion to read out the imperial decree this time was also Eunuch Zhao who was serving Emperor Xuande.

Eunuch Zhao walked into the gate of An Guohou's mansion with a bright yellow imperial edict in hand.

When Xi Bojian heard that there was an imperial decree, he quickly notified all his family members to go to greet him. Of course, these family members did not include Xi Wanqing.

In the hall of the bamboo courtyard, the third aunt of Xibojian stood in the front, followed by Xi Zhuyan and Xi Zhuhua, ready to receive the imperial edict.

Eunuch Zhao was respectfully invited into the hall of the Bamboo Courtyard by the servants of the Marquis of An Guo, and the first thing he said when he saw Xi Bojian was: "Marquis An Guo, Fifth Miss Xi Wanqing is in this hall. "

Eunuch Zhao naturally didn't know Xi Wanqing, so he glanced at the hall, his eyes first stayed on Xi Zhuyan for a moment, and then moved to Xi Zhuhua.

Xi Bojian felt that Eunuch Zhao's question was a bit inexplicable. Could it be that the edict was related to the five girls, so he asked for a while, "Eunuch Zhao, this five girls has a bad reputation, and she doesn't understand poetry at all. Etiquette, I was afraid that she would violate the imperial decree, so I didn't let her come here to receive the imperial decree."

"Oh, so that's how it is." Eunuch Zhao felt that Xi Bojian's explanation was quite appropriate, so he didn't blame him too much, but asked him to call Xi Wanqing over.
