Chapter 1976: Inside and outside the Guizi rolling door, tit-for-tat confrontation
When Kang Biao saw that group of people coming back, he knew he couldn't be kind.
Especially in the middle, there is an aristocratic woman wearing a hat and curtain, and next to her is a greasy middle-aged man with fat head and big ears. The smell of that man is very unique, and Kang Biao can tell at a glance. Knowing that this is a chamberlain in the palace, the identity of this woman is not obvious.
Although I am not sure which concubine in the palace this woman is, I can tell that she is probably of a higher status than the Concubine Jia you are here to see.
Kang Biao has also been following Feng Ziying for some time. He was among the first batch of people recruited by Wu Yaoqing, and there were only four people recruited in the first batch. It can be said that there are thousands of people to choose from. Of course, one needs to have excellent martial arts skills, but more importantly, one must have family background. and loyalty, and mental vision.
Kang Biao was born in the Jindao Sect, which is the famous Baidao sect in Datong. Kang Biao can also be regarded as the direct disciple of the leader Wu Zun, because the disciples of the Jindao Sect have always inherited the position of the sect leader, and outsiders have no chance to take over. So even though Kang Biao was extremely skilled in martial arts, he would naturally take the initiative if he had such an opportunity.
Of course, the head master valued him very much, and basically passed on all his special skills to him, so he was also very grateful to the sect, so if he walks out like this, if he can get a full-time official position in the military or yamen in the future , which will naturally be of great benefit to the Golden Knife Sect.
For more than a year, he has experienced various situations with Wu Yaoqing, and he is no stranger to the officialdom. After Wu Yaoqing went to Shaanxi, the security affairs here were basically handed over to him, so he He is also very dedicated and does not dare to neglect or slack off in the slightest.
Master Feng's meeting with Concubine Jia in this small courtyard must not be exposed to the light, but Kang Biao also felt that Feng Ziying was not too afraid of such things being known. Of course, as the leader of the guard, he must fulfill his duties. He had warned of the situation before, but Mr. Feng had no other words to express, so he could only continue to follow the rules.
“Why, are you here again?” Kang Biao stepped forward with a smile and asked proactively.
Guo Qinjun glanced at the other party coldly, while Zhou Peisheng took a step forward: "The imperial concubine is here, why don't you get out of the way with the rest of the crowd?"
Kang Biao's heart moved. She was indeed a royal concubine. However, he also had the status of a third-class yamen servant. After following Feng Ziying for so long, he was not too afraid of roles that he thought were unattainable before. He just bowed his hands and said: "I'm sorry, I'm sorry. It’s my duty, so please forgive me.”
When Zhou Peisheng saw this posture, the other party didn't want to identify himself. He didn't even bother to ask. He made it clear that he was unwilling to let the person in. If the argument continued, he would only be humiliating himself, so he simply made it clear. Purpose of visit: "The noble concubine heard that this Chongxuan Temple has a quiet environment and is a treasure place for health preservation, so she came here specifically to visit. She heard that Concubine Xiande was also resting here, so she came to see her. Please go and report to Concubine Xiande immediately. It was said that Concubine Tsuen was here..."
Hearing the identity of the other party, Kang Biao knew that it would be difficult to delay this situation any longer. Just as he was thinking about how to deal with it, the voice of Baoqin came from behind: "I have seen Concubine Tsuen."
"Oh, it is Concubine Xiande who is resting here as expected. I thought it was just spreading rumors." Guo Qinyun looked very aloof in front of Baoqin, "Why don't you see Concubine Xiande?"
"The empress is feeling unwell and is resting in bed. The servant heard the noise outside, so she came out to take a look. Unexpectedly, it was Concubine Tsuen who came." Holding Qin is neither humble nor arrogant.
"Concubine Xian De is really unwell?" Guo Qinjun was a little surprised. She thought she just found an excuse to sneak out of the palace to rest. Why was she still bedridden? Or is Tuoda deliberately trying to lose face?
“Going back to Concubine Tsuen, my concubine has not been feeling well these days, so she left the palace to rest for a while, so I ask your forgiveness for not being able to see guests...” Baoqin explained.
"Then I go to visit Concubine Xian De, is that okay?" Guo Qinyun showed a thoughtful look on her face, "Maybe there is something shameful in Concubine Xian De's yard that even I can't see. ?”
Bao Qin is still a little more tender. After being pushed like this by Guo Qinyun, she doesn't know how to respond. It seems that she can't refuse. Concubine Guo is not a good person. If she doesn't refuse, is she really going to let the unwell lady get up? Meeting guests? What if you want to refuse and the other party wants to force your way in?
Feng Ziying had already put on her clothes and left the quiet room. She came to the side of the courtyard and listened to the conversation between Bao Qin and Guo Qinjun on the door.
He did not expect it to be Guo Qinjun and Zhou Peisheng.
Is there anything else Yuanchun deserves to pay attention to? The Jia family collapsed, who else? It seemed that except for himself and the Feng family behind him, there was nothing else.
But isn’t it too hasty to rush to Chongxuan Temple in such a hurry?
However, Feng Ziying recalled that her first two overtures to Zhou Dehai were lukewarm, neither hot nor salty, and she guessed it had something to do with it. Faced with the competition among several princes, especially for the position of supervising the country, Guo Qinyun and Zhou Peisheng couldn't sit still.
It was said earlier that the position of supervisor is not fixed, but must be rotated regularly and irregularly to temper and examine the princes. However, there is no specific explanation for how long this periodicity will be, and what conditions and reasons are used for irregular rotation. , I guess this should be the reason why Guo Qinyun and Zhou Peisheng are a little angry and anxious.
Just when Baoqin was hesitant, Guo Qinyun stepped directly into the courtyard, ignoring Baoqin's attitude. Kang Biao, who followed in, also got Feng Ziying's signal and did not stop Guo Qinyun, Zhou Peisheng and Guo Qinyun's personal maid blocked all the other guards outside.
Originally, these guards had to argue with each other, but Zhou Peisheng thought that since they had already let a few of them in, it was the residence of the Concubine Xian De, and it was really inappropriate for other people to wait in, so he signaled to others that they did not need to go in.
“Empress Tsuen Fei, Empress Tsuen Fei!” Seeing Guo Qinyun walking straight in, Huo Qin was also startled and hurriedly ran in after her.
Feng Ziying had realized that the other party was coming for her, but how did they know they were here? It was probably because Kang Biao and the others exposed their whereabouts. But if not for Kang Biao and the others, Guo Qinjun and the others would have barged in directly. I really want to catch him in bed.
Now, even if it happens to me, so what?
"The lower official has met Concubine Quan, Manager Zhou." Feng Ziying did not hide anymore. This small courtyard is too small, especially in the front there is an outer courtyard, an inner courtyard, and in the back there is a small garden less than twenty steps wide, which is clearly visible at a glance. There is no cover at all. Since people are coming for you and you can't avoid them, then you shouldn't avoid them. Speaking of which, it's not a big deal if you just come to see the virtuous concubine.
"Master Feng?!" Guo Qinyun didn't expect that Feng Ziying would really dare to come out in a clear way, and was surprised, "Why are you here?"
Zhou Peisheng also didn't expect Feng Ziying to be so bold as to dare to stay in the small courtyard where Concubine Xiande was resting. Although he had not yet thought about Feng Ziying and Jia Yuanchun's affair, Feng Ziying's behavior was obviously out of etiquette. If it was investigated by the capital, The censor of the hospital knew that he would definitely be shot.
"Oh, Xuanzhen is going to be the deputy governor of the Daoji Department. I came here to talk to Taoist Master Xuanzhen. I heard that Concubine Xiande is resting here, and our two families can be considered relatives, so I came to pay a visit. "Fan, who would have thought that the empress was unwell and there were no outsiders. I was about to leave when I met the empress Quan Fei and Manager Zhou coming in." Feng Ziying replied nonchalantly.
How could Guo Qinjun believe Feng Ziying's lies? Of course, she had not thought about Feng Ziying and Jia Yuanchun's personal relationship for a while, but she also felt that Feng Ziying was so sneaky in the inner courtyard, and even had people guarding her. Outside the door, this is too strange, no matter how you look at it, it seems a bit weird inside.
"Really? Those who blocked us from entering are also Mr. Feng's people?" Guo Qinjun sneered, "Mr. Feng seems to regard this place as your official residence."
"I never thought about it, but Concubine Quan's attitude seems more like she thinks that you rule the whole world." Feng Ziying did not hesitate and responded forcefully: "It's a pity, Prince Gong. It seems that His Highness is still a little far away from the position of supervising the country."
Guo Qinjun's chest rose and fell sharply, her face turned pale, but she was hidden under the curtain so that no one could notice it. Zhou Peisheng reacted faster and immediately interjected: "Master Feng is joking, Concubine Quan is just a little unhappy about her coming." It’s just that someone blocked me from visiting Concubine Xian De. It’s a misunderstanding, a misunderstanding..."
While explaining, Zhou Peisheng signaled to Guo Qinjun: "Aren't you going to visit the Concubine Xiande? Then go in first. I'll walk with Mr. Feng in the backyard garden and talk."
Guo Qinjun finally realized that he was originally going to join the Feng family this time, but now he has made the other party angry because of some verbal disputes. Isn't it self-defeating? Fortunately, Zhou Peisheng found him at the bottom of the steps, and she could only snort, turned around and walked directly into the inner courtyard.
Zhou Peisheng extended his hand with a smile on his face, "Master Feng, please come this way."
Feng Ziying had no expression on her face and walked, but her words were not idle: "Mr. Zhou, you asked your nephew to come and talk to me several times. Do you want me to help His Highness Prince Gong? Concubine Quan has such an arrogant attitude. ?”
Zhou Peisheng secretly complained, never would he have thought that Concubine Quan would be so petty. Feng Ziying said that he was here to talk to Taoist Priest Xuanzhen, and he said that he was here to pay a visit to Concubine Xian De. You just listened and it was over. Why bother to expose it, except out of thin air? What's the point of offending people?
