Chapter 1183 Has the situation changed?
The Queen's trip was extremely low-key, so low-key that she didn't want to attract anyone's attention.
Taking the disguised palace guards, he entered the Shunde Jun's Mansion next to the Zhongduhu Mansion.
Then enter the Zhongduhu Mansion from the backyard of Shunde Jun's Mansion.
Even if outsiders notice entering Shunde Jun's Mansion, most people who don't know the layout of Shunde Jun's Mansion and Zhongduhu Mansion will only think that the Queen and Shunde Jun are in love with each other as sisters.
That's why I didn't hesitate to condescend to go to the palace to express my family affection.
After all, since the incident of Liu Yan's wife entering the palace a few years ago, the palace rarely invites ladies of all levels to the palace to avoid criticism.
Therefore, few people could have imagined that the queen would turn through an arch from the backyard of Shunde Jun's Mansion and arrive at Zhongduhu Mansion.
At the time when Han and Wu were joining forces to attack Wei, I don’t know how many pairs of eyes were secretly staring at the Zhongduhu Mansion.
Even if the emperor summoned the Zhongduhu to the palace to discuss matters, some people would count the time to calculate how long the Zhongduhu had been in the palace.
After all, there is an official office in the Zhongduhu Mansion to handle affairs.
If the Central Protector is not handling affairs at the house, but keeps running to the palace, something must be happening.
And the emperor is even less likely to leave the palace at any time, and he still runs to the Central Protector's Palace as soon as he leaves the palace.
The Queen's trip was deliberately concealed from others. In addition to conveying something to the Emperor on behalf of the Emperor, it also had an important meaning.
That is, she wanted to come over to see the prince, but she also wanted to prevent the prince's whereabouts outside the palace from being leaked.
If nothing else, the queen was indeed very affectionate towards the prince.
So no matter how scheming she was, when she saw a certain young lady named Feng, holding a small riding crop, pointing at the prince and other boys.
Still unable to stop his eyelids from twitching wildly and his face twitching.
“Well, back to the queen, my daughter is quite talented in martial arts training, so I sometimes ask her to help supervise me...”
No matter how aloof General Guan was in front of outsiders, he was still a little embarrassed when he saw his daughter in this state, so he couldn't help but explain quickly.
Only heard the queen say quietly:
“I once heard that the name of your beloved has a great origin. The Protector of the Central Military Commission once wrote a poem in person, saying: The moth is like a golden thread in the snow and willow, and the laughter is filled with a dark fragrance.”
After finishing speaking, he sighed again:
“This name and this poem alone can evoke a lot of reverie in people. In this world, there are not many women who can write poems specifically for Zhongduhu…”
Speaking of this, the queen glanced at the left and right ladies intentionally or unintentionally.
It goes without saying that Mrs. Right’s “beautiful appearance” is beautiful.
As for Mrs. Zuo, her status is somewhat special, and the poems written to her may be a little more secret - for example, the poem "Han Daochang" was written by the Central Protector and Mrs. Zuo when they visited Juyan County.
Later, Mrs. Zuo really followed the example of the famous Han general Huo Yao and led the cavalry to fight for thousands of miles as the poem said.
“The white feathers of meteors are inserted into the waist, and the sword flowers and autumn lotus light come out of the box.”
“Heavenly troops descended upon the old capital, shining on the snow, and their arrows were like sand shooting at golden armor.”
“The clouds, dragons, winds and tigers all come back, and the white moon reaches the enemy and can be destroyed.”
…
What a pleasure!
As long as the Han Dynasty is qualified to know the inside story of the First Battle of Guanzhong, no one can raise his thumbs and praise:
The tiger girl of the Guan family is really like her father!
Perhaps after the world is settled, the true identity of the Tiger Girl will be revealed to the world.
At that time, Mrs. Zuo will accompany the song "Han Daochang" and leave her name in history.
Even her deeds will become a legend among people all over the world and will be passed down from generation to generation.
When I think of this, even if Zhang Xingcai is the empress of the Han Dynasty, she will be extremely envious and jealous.
More importantly, one of my biological sisters has said more than once that Feng Ying was brought up by her, and she has the air of a famous lady and a woman who is not inferior to men.
It is precisely because of these deep-rooted obsessions that the queen never forgets that Feng Ying, who "smiles and talks quietly", can be her daughter-in-law.
Today, it seems that women are not allowed to be men, and they have seen it with their own eyes.
It’s just the ladylike spirit of this family...
Who is Mrs. Right?
Seeing her sister's expression, she could guess a little bit.
She asked Mrs. Zuo:
“Sister, why don’t we ask Shuangshuang and the others to come over and meet us first?”
All military affairs in the house are under the control of Mrs. Zuo.
If she doesn’t nod, she won’t be able to stop even if the queen comes.
Seeing Madam Zuo nodding, Madam Right waved:
“Both of you, take a rest and come over to meet your aunt first.”
Shuangshuang had already seen his mother bringing someone over, and now he heard the order and dared to come over.
“Here, this is Liu Dalang’s mother. She is here to visit Liu Dalang. Please call her aunt.”
The right lady said to the children with an aunt-like smile on her face.
But I could hear the crispness mixed with the drake’s voice:
“Meet my aunt.”
Only Liu Chen called out "Ama".
The queen glanced at the many children in front of her with a somewhat complicated expression.
It seems that he is lamenting the prosperity of the Feng family's descendants.
Then his eyes fell on the leading pair, their eyes slightly surprised.
Just now I saw Feng Ying from a distance and said that she was too martial, but she just had a rough understanding of etiquette.
Unexpectedly, now that I am being polite to myself, my behavior is correct.
Although it has not fully grown, Mrs. Zuo's three-point color can already be vaguely seen on her face.
Thinking about it, even if she can't compare with her mother's appearance, she will at least be considered a beauty.
Most importantly, those smart and cunning eyes reminded the queen of her little sister's appearance when she was a child.
No wonder the younger sister repeatedly emphasized that she personally raised this girl!
The queen looked at the boys again, all standing behind her consciously, and she became more and more surprised.
I saw her asking Feng Ying:
“Can you recite the Thousand-Character Classic?”
Feng Ying suddenly felt that this aunt was looking down on others.
Don’t think she doesn’t know, “The Thousand Character Classic” is the enlightenment study of the Feng family.
She had already memorized "The Thousand Character Essay" by heart when she was six years old.
The queen asked a few more poems by Feng Zhongduhu, and Feng Ying answered them all fluently.
The queen asked a few more questions about arithmetic, but there was nothing wrong.
Feng's family had Amei, a master of arithmetic, and the arithmetic textbooks in the Han Dynasty's schools and colleges were all edited by Feng Zhongduhu.
Shuangshuang is often punished in terms of homework, and that’s because Ah Chong serves as a benchmark.
After leaving the Feng Mansion, her knowledge and experience were far superior to those of her peers at this time.
If not, be it Zhuge Zhan or Liu Chen, they would all have to be obedient and obedient when they arrive at the palace. Isn’t it because they were all beaten?
Judging from the knowledge of ordinary girls of the same age, the Queen is naturally not a problem for both of them.
Looking at the girl in front of her, the love in the Queen's eyes almost overflowed.
She looked at her son, then at both of them, and nodded, with a meaningful smile on her face.
I saw her taking off the jade pendants she was carrying and tying them on both of them herself:
“Very nice, this is a meeting gift for you.”
This move made Mrs. Zuo raise her eyebrows.
“Thank you, auntie.”
The queen smiled and touched her head, then turned around and waved back.
The palace servant dressed as a servant came up with a tray with many gifts on it.
The queen herself distributed the gifts and then said:
“Okay, let’s go down.”
Looking at the children leaving, the queen’s eyes were filled with smiles and she seemed very satisfied:
“Since my son came to study at home, his whole person has changed a lot.”
Mrs. Zuo couldn't tell what the Queen meant by her words, so she just pursed her lips and said nothing.
Anyway, ever since the two families had conflicts over the marriage of their children, she had become more wary of the royal family—or, in other words, more wary of the queen.
Before fully understanding what the queen meant, Mrs. Zuo glanced at Mrs. Right.
The right lady understands. After all, she and the queen are biological sisters. In many cases, she can say things that are inconvenient for others to say without too much scruple.
But I saw her asking half-jokingly: "Sister, do you think it has gotten better or worse?"
The queen looked at her son playing in the distance with a smile on her face:
“Nature has gotten better.”
Now the prince is not only much more cheerful in temperament, but also has more smiles on his face. He can also have a lot of topics to talk about in front of His Majesty.
The most important thing is that my body is stronger than before and my appetite has greatly increased.
And what the prince learned in the Feng Mansion was more different than what the prince Taifu and Prince Shaofu taught him in the palace.
The teachings of the Crown Prince and the Crown Prince and the Young Master are the way to govern the world.
And what Feng Fu teaches is the way to live in the world.
The only thing that made the queen feel sorry for the prince was that Feng Mansion was always strict in teaching.
Especially when it comes to martial arts, Guan Jiahu women are resolute and will not relax their standards just because of their status as princes.
However, the children of the Feng family also came here, and the queen had nothing to say about it.
Sending your children here to study, isn’t it just for their knowledge?
Without hard work, it is difficult to obtain true knowledge.
The queen still knows this truth.
"Let me tell you, it is always good for my nephew to go out and see the outside world."
After hearing this, the queen smiled and did not answer the words. Instead, she looked around:
“What about the Central Protector? But he handles affairs at the official office in front of the mansion?”
This time, she entered the backyard of Feng Mansion directly from Shunde Jun's Mansion.
But she believed that the moment she stepped into Shunde Jun's Mansion, the news had already reached the ears of Feng Zhongduhu.
"I don't know why the queen came here. Alang has not been summoned by the queen, so naturally he does not dare to come and disturb her easily."
Mrs. Zuo replied.
If the Queen comes directly from the gate of Zhongduhu Mansion, as the head of the family, Feng Duhu will naturally come to greet her in person.
But the Queen did not go through the main entrance. Even if Feng Duhu wanted to come, he would wait for the Queen to speak.
At any rate, he was the most powerful minister of the Han Dynasty. It would be a loss of status for him to eagerly go and ask for an audience without being summoned by the queen.
No matter how much the queen makes the decision in the palace, when edicts are issued to the outer court, it must be in the name of the emperor.
Coupled with the friction between the Duhu Mansion and the palace in the past few days, Feng Zhongduhu cannot give in at this time.
Since the death of the prime minister, Feng Duhu has dealt with the royal family alone, and he has understood a truth:
Faced with a political creature like the Queen, we cannot let the other party feel that we have given in at all.
Because you dared to take one step back, she thought of taking two steps forward.
Especially when it comes to his daughter, Feng Duhu naturally has to be tougher.
On the other hand, the queen, after hearing Mrs. Zuo’s calm explanation, didn’t know whether she saw this or was pretending to be confused, and said with a smile:
“In that case, how about sending someone to ask for the Central Protector?”
Perhaps she really wanted to ease the relationship between the two parties. The queen also added an additional explanation:
"Your Majesty cannot leave the palace, so I came here to convey something to your Majesty."
Feng Duhu, who was eating cantaloupe in the courtyard next door, quickly wiped his mouth after receiving the notice, and after leaving the house, he ran for a while.
On a hot day, I just came out of the room where the ice mirror was installed. I jogged a few steps and soon started to sweat.
Then Feng Duhu appeared in front of the queen:
“Chen Yong, I would like to pay my respects to the queen. I wish the queen long life and eternal life.”
“Why do you need so many gifts from the Central Protector? We are all members of the same family.”
The queen kindly signaled Feng Duhu to stand up, and then asked him to sit down:
“It’s such a hot day, and you have to ask the Central Protector to come over while he’s doing official business. I wonder if Gu has disturbed the Central Protector?”
You claim to be alone, how can I say you're bothering me?
"The queen's words are serious. I heard that the queen is delivering a message on behalf of your majesty. Even if there is a big matter, I will come here."
The queen smiled, nodded and said:
“If there is a clear statement about this, then I will feel relieved.”
She looked around at the ladies on the left and right, and continued:
“We are all members of our own family here, and I won’t say those polite words. Your Majesty asked me to come here because there is a secret matter, and I need to seek the opinion of the Central Protector.”
Hearing the Queen’s words, Feng Duhu immediately sat up straight:
“Queen, please speak.”
On the other hand, the right lady was more alert and immediately ordered:
“Everyone on the left and right should get out. No one is allowed to come near. Remember, no one is allowed, not even the young master or the lady.”
“Here!”
After everyone had exited, the queen continued:
“The State of Wu has sent a secret envoy.”
Hearing this, Feng Duhu was startled:
“Secret envoy of Wu State? I...”
He wanted to say, “Why didn’t I know this news?”
As the Central Protector of Ping Shangshu Affairs, no matter how secretive the envoy from the State of Wu is, the emperor still has to tell him about matters concerning the Han and Wu countries.
But when he thought of the queen's low-key exit from the palace this time, Feng Duhu immediately reacted.
He immediately changed his words:
"Well, well, the two countries Wu and Wei should be fighting fiercely at this time. If we send a secret envoy here at this time, could it be that Wu has been defeated again?"
Hey, why should I say again?
However, the queen seemed to see Feng Duhu’s doubts, or she wanted to express her respect for Zhongduhu, so she patiently explained:
“The secret envoy of Wu State arrived last night and is still staying in the palace to prevent the news from leaking.”
“As for the war situation between Wu and Wei,” the queen shook her head, “I heard that when they set out, Bu Zhi and Zhuge Jin were still attacking Peizhong.”
“But the war in Jianghuai is not very clear.”
Hearing the Queen’s words, Feng Duhu suddenly felt something was wrong:
“Is this Wu State’s secret envoy coming from Jingzhou?”
“That’s right.”
Apart from Sun Quan, who in the State of Wu could send envoys, who else had such great power and could send secret envoys privately?
There is only one answer:
The great general of the state of Wu, Lu Xun!
So, has the situation in Wu State changed?
Or was there an uncontrollable accident in the war between Wu and Wei?
