Yun Fenghuang heard those words, but acted as if he hadn't heard them and walked away without even stumbling.
Returning to the Huanhua Hall, Xile untied her black cloak and comforted her in a low voice: "It's my fault that the maid sent word that the matter was urgent. The Crown Prince thought that something had gone wrong, so he couldn't arrange for Mr. Qi to come with him."
"It doesn't matter." Yun Fenghuang waved his legs and said, "Originally, I didn't plan to tell him about it tomorrow. It would be best if he didn't come."
Saying that, her expression was somewhat gloomy. Xile noticed that the movements of the bottom of her legs became a little softer: "I have wronged you, my queen."
Yun Fenghuang sighed and didn't answer.
However, Dong's long eyelashes drooped slightly, but his eyes were calm and emotionless.
Did she deliberately not mention Qi Jiulu that time, just to see if Gong Xiangxiao would bring someone here
And Gong Xiangxiao's behavior was also what she expected: originally, the cooperation between the two started on amicable terms, and no matter how nice Yun Fenghuang said to Xiao Fanghu that night, it could not change the fact that she was actually being coerced.
It was fine before, but if she made an exception and became a concubine, what would Gong Xiangxiao think
It may have the strength of a surprise ally, but it definitely cannot be pure surprise.
After all, Yun Fenghuang himself knew that she was not a reassuring ally. She sold out the Yun family first and then Chunjia. Even her patron, Empress Ji, her direct cousin Ji Muzi, was not led by her. I went to Nongdong from Zhaoyuan.
She was convinced that Gong Xiangxiao was wrong in begging for help, thinking that her being Jieyu would be of no harm to his son, but he was really stupid.
If Yun Fenghuang's guess was correct, Gong Xiangxiao would come alone tomorrow night. He should have wanted to avoid Qi Jiulu and have a good talk with him about the follow-up cooperation. Previously, Gong Xiangxiao had a high status and held the emperor in the Dou family line. The city secretary has a leg, but Yun Fenghuang has just entered the palace, with a low status and junior qualifications. The so-called cooperation basically means that Gong Xiangxiao unilaterally provides Yun Fenghuang with legs and information, which is very helpful for her to have a private meeting with her foreign husband.
It is true that Yun Fenghuang and Gong Xiangxiao, apart from talking about the situation and opinions in Yidong, have almost no real help.
To sum up, from the first time they met in Xiaofanghu to now, Gong Xiangxiao was unilaterally meddling with her, and the only feedback she gave her was probably for Gong Xiangxiao to discover and accept Qi Jiulu's assistant... probably .
But now and then, now she has been promoted to the concubine position and is in charge of Ye Yuan. Judging from the emperor's attitude toward her, even if she stops at Jieyu, she will become a mountain in the palace in a short time, which will affect the situation in all directions.
But Gong Xiangxiao did not make any obvious progress during that period. He was still the estranged relationship with the regent, the wrong stepmother, and the half-brother who was wary but helpless. He had the honorable title of accompanying the emperor but had little power. Relying on the support of his maternal wife, he had the convenience of communicating with the harem... According to the tacit understanding between the two, it was time for Yun Fenghuang to fulfill his promise and help Gong Xiangxiao seize the power position.
So how could he bring Qi Jiulu here
Although that person is Gong Xiangxiao Ruming's number one think tank, he is even more Yun Fenghuang's adviser. If he is here, he may help Gong Xiangxiao negotiate terms with Yun Fenghuang, or he may help Gong Xiangxiao negotiate terms with Yun Fenghuang. Zhu Yunfenghuang advises Gong Xiangxiao, will you be lucky if you suffer a lot
There is a very reason for this, because Bu Gong Xiangxiao values Qi Jiulu very much. It can be seen from the "brother Xinjun" that others say before and after him, that Bu Gong Xiangxiao really wants to win over the eldest son of the Northland clan.
Then you can't even bargain with Yun Fenghuang in front of him.
After all, Gong Xiangxiao himself and Yun Fenghuang didn't have a good deal, and they had a quarrel at the top of their lungs in the middle of the night. The worst they could do was walk away and discuss it again in another month, while Xile was waiting in front of Yun Fenghuang. If Qi Jiulu was present and blindly defended Yun Fenghuang, would Gong Xiangxiao agree or not
If he agreed, he finally had the opportunity to invest in a rising star from Wei Yuanwei with a keen eye, but gave up when he was just hoping for a good harvest? ?
How frustrating that is!
If you don't agree, what if there is a rift between you and Qi Jiulu
Therefore, the best way is not to let Qi Jiulu play at all.
Even Gong Xiangxiao didn't expect that Yun Fenghuang knew his thoughts very well, so the prince just used "Brother Xinyun has told this prince about these situations a long time ago" to hint that she was not lying, and he didn't start to get to the point. In order to get something in return, he told the truth about his entry into the palace and asked Gong Xiangxiao to join forces with the Chao family.
In addition to what she told Gong Xiangxiao that her future would be affected by her family, it also hinted to Gong Xiangxiao that she needed him a lot, so she didn't need to worry about burning bridges and becoming Jieyu. But now that he has a place in the palace, he leaves his prince, who has no real power, behind.
Of course, in order to prevent the prince from taking advantage of him and making more demands, she finally struck a chord and reminded the master that given the current situation, it was not the time for him to show off his talents!
The former regent and Emperor Chunjia joined forces to fight against the Ji family, Zheng Ju, and Cui Wan. The relatives of the powerful officials were very courtiers, and the pressure was not small. How could the powerful official of Qingpinghou not help his son-in-law
At that time, the eldest son of the Regent Princess Yuan came out to cause trouble. Wouldn't that force the Regent to suppress the eldest son, so as not to be taken advantage of and sow discord between the Regent's Palace and the Qingping Marquis Palace
After all, Qingpinghou could obtain a title as a eunuch, but could he be a philanthropist who did good deeds without leaving his name? Ru Ming's eyes jumped out of Gong Xiangxiao, fearing that it was just what he wanted, so he just added fuel to the flames and forced the regent to send away the eldest son and promote his grandson to the throne.
"I hope the master can listen and calm down, and don't cause trouble for him." Yun Fenghuang thought about the meeting tomorrow night, and realized that he didn't miss anything important. He breathed a sigh of relief and thought to himself, " When I pick Donglai up, I’ll see Chao’s humble maid outside.”
Gong Xiangxiao's feeling is correct. Is Yun Fenghuang the kind of person who reconciles with his love rival personally and works together for a win-win situation, not only for his family but also for himself? Of course not!
