Yuzhen Palace is one of the few palaces that does not have a throne but is inhabited by people. Unlike Yijia Palace, the concubines currently living in this palace do not have Wei Hengyan's unofficial " Theme seeds”.
They were all low-level concubines, the kind who could not be granted the title of concubine without any accident.
This also caused this palace to be habitually ignored by everyone in the palace.
Now Yun Fenghuang listened to the report and couldn't help but raise his eyebrows: "Why not?"
Ordinarily, in a place where everyone has no future, there shouldn't be much to do, right
Even if they are fighting among themselves, if everyone is evenly matched against each other, what cruel moves can they make
How could such a good new prostitute disappear just after entering the palace
"It is said that something went wrong in the imperial dining room." The palace servant lowered his head and reported, "Lin Cainv was unable to eat fish since she was a child, and she almost lost her life because of this... After she was selected as Cainu, she also made it clear to the imperial dining room. But the imperial dining room had kept it in mind two days ago, but today Lin Cainv's meal was mixed with fish soup and some minced fish meat. After eating, Lin Cainv's whole body broke out in a rash, and her whole body was swollen. Zhen Palace has no throne, and the maid who serves her is young and inexperienced. She was so frightened that she circled around for a long time before she remembered to go out and look for someone. It was difficult to find a steward, and it took a lot of trouble to report to the Queen... "
Although Empress Ji looked down on the lower-ranking concubines, she did not want to embarrass them. So after receiving the news, she immediately sent the imperial physician there. However, when she arrived, Lin Cainu was already unconscious. After leaving, the fragrance disappeared and the jade died.
Yun Fenghuang held his chin in thought: "I have no impression of Lin Cainu..."
Xijing said from behind her: "My dear, I still remember her. It seems that she was the first one to come in during the selection and got tripped."
Yun Fenghuang said "Oh" but still couldn't remember clearly: "Does she have any grievances with the imperial kitchen? They have clearly stated that they cannot eat fish, so why did they add fish meat into the fish soup?"
"... My maid heard that something went wrong in the imperial kitchen two days ago. Although the masters didn't come to the trouble, the steward on duty got very angry." The palace servant who came to report the news hesitated for a moment. , then said softly, "Many palace people were beaten for this. Some of them happened to be in charge of Yuzhen Palace. They had resentments in their hearts but had nowhere to vent, so they wanted to take it out on Lin Cainv. They had also seen her in the palace before. There have been cases where some people need to avoid eating, but the rash only lasts for a few days at most. As long as they stop eating the food, it will be cured without taking medicine... But I didn't expect... "
Unexpectedly, Lin Cainv's condition was much more serious than those palace people had seen, so she was gone.
If this was not a big deal, given Lin Cainv's status, her qualifications as a first-time member of the palace, her lack of sleeping attendants, and the presence of stunning companions such as Yi Xing'en, if it really was just a rash for a few days, then I guess there's really nothing we can do about the initiators.
After all, who said Yuzhen Palace had no master position? Lin Cainu couldn't even find anyone to complain after she suffered a loss
Yun Fenghuang frowned and asked the queen if she could tell her how to deal with this matter.
The palace servant said: "The Queen was very angry and punished many people in the imperial dining room. She ordered the palace servants who deliberately harmed Lin Cainv to be dragged to the place where Lin Cainu lived in front of Yuzhen Palace and be beaten to death. She also said that she would hunt down Feng Lin. Collect the girl for a precious forest and give it to her family as a reward.”
"Well punished!" Yun Fenghuang nodded slightly and said, "Everyone in the imperial dining room was not unjust in this matter. No matter how low the status of Cai Nu is, or how neglected Yuzhen Palace is, they are all people who serve His Majesty. How can they be a group of people?" Are slaves qualified to take care of the dishes? Today, if you can deliberately tease a powerless and unsupported girl, tomorrow, will you be able to manipulate people like me under the orders of this palace? Don't give them a chance. If you obey the rules, will you still get it in the future?"
Taking advantage of the situation, he asked the palace servants to go out for a walk, "Ask the concubines here if they have any dietary taboos? If so, whether you tell the imperial kitchen or not, you can go over there later and ask them to give it to me. I will listen carefully and remember it clearly. If a similar situation happens to Guo Xuanqing Palace, I will never forgive you!"
The waiters on the left and right hurriedly praised Yun Fenghuang for her kindness and kindness. Being able to be her palace member was such a blessing... After talking about it for a while, the matter passed. Lin Cainv's life was not in the palace. What kind of commotion was caused here? After all, he was just a poor family member who had just entered the palace and had no time to see his future.
In terms of influence, the only influence was probably that Queen Mother Ji sighed after knowing about it and said that with so many things happening in the palace recently, it was better to leave for the palace early to relax, and she could also go to Shanyuan Temple on the other side of the palace.
The country's dynasties advocated Taoism for various reasons. This Shanyuan temple originated in the previous dynasty two hundred years ago. It was not very conspicuous at first. Later, several high-level practitioners came out one after another, and it skyrocketed to become a famous temple in the world.
However, those Gaozhen were all figures from a hundred years ago, and this Taoist temple has long since declined and is no longer as prosperous as it once was. However, due to the strife in the palace during the reign of Emperor Shenzong, many clan members "voluntarily" became monks and went to practice inside. After receiving support from the royal family, they gradually recovered their vitality and became famous members of high-ranking families near the imperial capital, including the royal family. They encountered some problems. first choice.
...Having such an opportunity has a lot to do with its location.
Shanyuan Temple is located next to the Qishan Palace where you can escape the summer heat. You can get back and forth within one day.
After the selection, everyone in the palace was planning to leave. After Empress Dowager Ji said this, the queen went to the emperor to discuss it, and finally decided to advance the originally scheduled date by two days. The team set off looking at Qishan.
Qishan is located in the southwest of the Imperial Capital. It can be reached by a single person on horseback in only two or three days.
However, the team to escape the summer heat was too large, and it was impossible to get there even if it was only ten days or eight days.
This was the first time Yun Fenghuang went out since he entered the palace. Everything he saw was fresh. Even if he was appointed by Emperor Chunjia to accompany him in the imperial chariot, he would often open the curtains and look outside - of course he couldn't see anything. , after all, wherever the emperor's chariot passed by, people had already paved the road with loess, sprinkled water on the ground, and set up curtains on both sides of the road to block the sight of the common people. side.
When she looked out like this, in addition to the familiar guards who looked at them intently and expressionlessly, she could also see the background color of the curtains on both sides.
So he felt bored, threw down the curtain, curled his lips and sat back beside Emperor Chunjia.
The emperor was drinking tea, An Ran watched her actions, and then he smiled and reassured her: "There is nothing interesting to see on this road. You can walk around when you get to the palace. The scenery of Qishan Mountain is beautiful and quite lovely."
At this moment, Yun Fenghuang was not the only one who was announced to accompany the driver. Wei Hengyan was also beside him. Hearing this, he pursed his lips and smiled, taking advantage of the opportunity to act coquettishly: "Then will your Majesty be with my sisters?"
"If I have time, I will accompany you." Emperor Chunjia glanced at her and said warmly, "Just be careful when you are playing by yourself. Minghui fell there before, but luckily nothing happened."
Wei Hengyan knew that Princess Minghui was quite worried about falling off the cliff that time - after all, Ji Minggan's words were too irritating - so he said with a smile: "Your Majesty, don't worry, I must have seen the way out."
He also asked the emperor what the palace looked like, what was the difference between the food, clothing, housing and transportation in the palace and so on.
Yun Fenghuang was half-leaning on the curly-patterned table with melons and fruit drinks, shaking his fan lightly and smiling as he watched Wei Hengyan try hard to talk to the emperor without interfering.
But the emperor noticed it, stretched out his hand to rub her head, and asked with a smile: "Mao Jieyu seems a little lack of energy today?"
Yun Fenghuang leaned on the case and said lazily: "Thinking about walking like this for several days makes me feel lack of energy."
She rolled her eyes as she spoke, walked up to the emperor, hugged his arm and begged, "Your Majesty, why don't you let the concubines come in to have some fun?"
The emperor picked up the tea bowl and took a sip, thinking that this guy must be a monster again, but he asked calmly: "Oh? What do you want to do to make it fun?"
After a while, the originally spacious imperial chariot was filled with people, the sound of silk and bamboo was heard, and the young concubines dressed in colorful clothes were sitting in a circle with the emperor as the leader. In the middle, there was a palace concubine with a young and childish face, who was sitting in a circle. He held the pipa nervously while playing and singing.
What she sang was a southern slang ditty. Yun Fenghuang, a native of the north, didn't understand it at all. She just felt it was soft and sweet, and every word was as if it had been dipped in honey, and it was indescribably flirtatious.
Emperor Chunjia listened with a smile. He had a handsome appearance and a youthful demeanor, and he often showed himself gentle and elegant. It was easy to gain favor. In addition, due to his status as the emperor, even concubines from famous families such as Wei Hengyan were not interested in him. Subconsciously fighting for his attention, let alone the low-level concubine who was called over by Yun Fenghuang at this moment.
Each and every one of them clung to the emperor with their charming eyes. If it weren't for the two Jieyu's presence, they would have tried their best to please the emperor.
But after the excitement for a while, they discovered that Mao Jieyu, who had urged them to come over, was truly tolerant and generous. Not only did he not mind at all that they were careful to express themselves in front of the emperor, but she was even quite encouraging.
Wei Jieyu was a little jealous, but this one was obviously a little afraid of Mao Jieyu, so she spoke out to suppress a concubine who wanted to dance for the emperor. Mao Jieyu just said a few words and left Wei Jieyu speechless. After all, They still had people dance a Limbo dance, and after the dance, they had to reward Mao Jieyu with a purse.
While letting Xijing admire the concubine, Yun Fenghuang asked the emperor with a smile: "Your Majesty, I also jumped the limbo for you. Who do you think is better at dancing between me and this concubine?"
Why do you have the nerve to compare with others
The emperor was slightly stunned. Not everyone is as bold as Mao Jieyu. Those who dare to come up to dance now are definitely two-pronged. Even if they are not wearing special dance skirts, they can dance in palace clothes. It looks like "Lingbo's socks are dusty when he steps slightly, but who can see his slim body at that time".
In comparison, Yun Fenghuang's original volunteering was simply bullying!
The emperor said calmly: "Of course my beloved concubine is better."
The concubines below also bowed down in fear: "How dare I compare with Empress Jieyu?"
I am not partial to Mao Jieyu. Emperor Chunjia lowered his head and ate a grape that Wei Hengyan had peeled and brought it to his lips. He chewed the pulp slowly and thought to himself, he just didn’t want the concubine who had just finished her dance to be harmed innocently. .
Well, if Yun Fenghuang is laughed at in public for not dancing as well as this little concubine, who knows if we will be able to see this concubine again in two days
After all, even if Yun Fenghuang didn't take action, the people below would not let the concubine go in order to please her - wasn't Lin Cainu an example before? Then I still didn't offend anyone. It was purely unlucky to be used as a punching bag. I just said no and it was gone.
At the end of the day, let this Mao Jieyu be proud of her life.
Yun Fenghuang didn't know what the emperor was thinking. He was very satisfied when he heard this and said with a smile: "Your Majesty is so complimentary. I am quite naughty when I am at home, so I just practice casually."
This guy finally told the truth - the emperor chuckled in his heart, and looked at the next palace concubine who appeared with interest: "Who are you?"
... On the first day of departure, the emperor's carriage was bustling all day long. At night, Emperor Chunjia naturally chose one of these concubines to sleep with him.
However, the next morning, after breakfast, he still called Yun Fenghuang to accompany him, but this time Wei Hengyan did not come, but was replaced by Lu Jieyu.
Lu Jieyu was very happy at first, but when she saw Yun Fenghuang, she was not happy anymore. Yun Fenghuang just looked at her lightly and continued to joke with the emperor, ignoring her meaning.
This move made Lu Jieyu a little embarrassed, but she was also somewhat relieved.
Learning from the lesson she learned from Yun Fenghuang's face-to-face confrontation last time, she was very well-behaved this time and basically kept silent, let alone interrupting. She just knelt there silently and watched Yun Fenghuang acting coquettishly and coquettishly with the emperor.
The emperor was not annoyed and dealt with it with a smile. Although his attitude was obviously perfunctory, it was enough for many people to envy the emperor's patience.
Lu Jieyu couldn't help but look a little dazed and lost in thought: Hey, Your Majesty, do you like this type? Then do you want me to learn from it privately...
As a result, when he was lost in thought, the emperor's chariot suddenly stopped. The flirting emperor and Yun Fenghuang stopped talking at the same time, and listened carefully to the movement outside - there should be nothing happening nearby, but there was some vague noise and commotion in front, the emperor pondered. After a while, he ordered Yan Yin: "Go out and ask, what happened?"
