Jie Donglai was just as Yun Fenghuang expected. Although Wei Xiyi reported the matter to his parents-in-law and husband after returning home and did not rush to inquire about it, some news was leaked in the process.
Princess Zhaoqing was favored for her beauty, and in those two years she often attracted the attention of high-ranking nobles.
When the news spread, countless suitors took action.
After the original meeting, Yun Tao aroused the hatred of many people.
At that time, the princess's adoptive mother, Concubine Min, was even asking her sister-in-law to inquire about her words, deeds, and appearance. So if there was no big problem, why don't we just finalize the marriage
How can we tolerate those children who admire the princess fiercely
Even Yun Tao didn't have time to rejoice over that incident. He was beaten outside that day!
When he woke up, he was already in the tent of an oiran who was a prostitute in the imperial capital, but the oiran himself was strangled to death beside the couch.
Yun Tao didn't understand what was going on, but a group of wolf-like government officials swarmed in with chains, took away his money, and imprisoned him!
Daofu, the madam of that brothel, went to Jingzhao Mansion to play drums and plead grievances. She said that her daughter, who had been carefully cultivated for many years, had always been pure and loyal, but because she was unwilling to sleep with Master Yun Tao, he actually broke into her boudoir at night and raped her first and then second. kill! The Madam cried like a baby in Jingzhao Mansion, just like someone who had lost her only daughter, telling all the evil things about Yun Tao in a serious manner.
That's the beginning.
As Xie Wuzheng said, young people who are full of energy and young and energetic do not have much sense of propriety in their actions. In addition, all of them are from noble families and have been pampered since childhood. They act impulsively without any scruples. It can be said.
Over there, Yun Taocai was in jail, and a group of beautiful young women with their children came over and accused him of being in trouble and abandoning him while he was away with his father and brother.
For a time, Emperor Jing had enough of the excitement in the eastern capital, and even the Jiahe matter, which had been in a deadlock during that period, was suppressed to the east.
After Yun Fenghuang received the news, he immediately went to Taichu Palace to find Chunjia and cried: "Bidong said that Yun Tao was good at first. After thinking about it, I thought that Bidong's vision must be right. But after all, Zhao Zhao Do you think we are the first girl to be surrendered to the east without knowing anything? Then, it will not attract anyone’s attention. She has been looking for her for two months, even in the imperial capital and in the east. The distinguished daughter-in-law of Duke Yi Guo summoned her. Who knows if Yun Tao is such a person?!"
"Ruming, everyone outside knows that I intend to marry Zhaoqing to him."
"Now how will Zhaoqing behave in the future?"
"I can't stand the chance of facing that child..."
Chunjia didn't pay attention to that matter at first, and was very thinking about how to deal with Jiahe. After hearing Yandong consciously comforted the imperial concubine for a few words, he said slowly: "I think there must be someone deliberately framing Yun Tao. I don't know if this person is Yun Tao." , I am determined not to do those bad things."
"Is there any Bulong? After this incident, his reputation will no longer be flawless." When Yun Fenghuang heard this, he said, "Okay, so I really want to give Zhaoqing to that person?"
Otherwise, why would you take the time to inquire about the details of a junior who was previously inconspicuous
She gritted her teeth secretly and said, "Where does he have the qualifications to continue to think about our Zhaoqing? Don't forget, Wang Ling was the number one scholar back then, and what happened was not so stormy in the city, so bad? Who is Yun Tao then? If Bi Dong insists on seeking to grievance Zhao Qing, then... then... then I would rather go become a monk with Zhao Qing!"
After saying that, he started crying again.
Chunjia knew in her heart that the imperial concubine was trying to coerce her, but he had no choice but to follow her lead. After hesitating for a while, she couldn't help but sigh and said: "If Yun Tao is not suitable, I don't know who A Huang wants to beg." Where is the son-in-law?"
Afraid that Yun Fenghuang might want to woo Ke He, he went to say, "Koh is already engaged, our princess must not be overthrown!"
Then doesn’t this palace have a former fiancé? I didn’t see me saying that I would be released after Qi Jiulu came! Oh wait, he seems to have said that
But no, can that bastard emperor's words be taken seriously
He said that it doesn't matter even if Hongxing cheats on me.
What happened next? ?
I will never ask to trust him again in my whole life!
Yun Fenghuang turned his head bitterly and said sadly: "Who wanted to get so much at that time? Let's teach Zhao Qing to get rid of it first."
Her attitude made the emperor a little unsure, because the impression of the imperial concubine as a loving mother was very deep on the emperor.
In his mind, a noble concubine should not be the kind of person who would achieve her goals and ignore her children.
Using the princess as bait or something, Chunjia felt that Yun Fenghuang was unlikely to be able to do such a thing...
If Mingming saw that Yun Fenghuang had not put forward any candidates, he thought, maybe the imperial concubine was dissatisfied with Yun Tao's choice and wanted to kill him with a knife to exclude him. Maybe she had other plans
After a moment's hesitation, Yun Fenghuang cried and confirmed that Yun Tao could no longer be the consort, so Donglai calmed down and was in the mood to greet him.
When the emperor saw this, he felt a lot less suspicious.
The imperial concubine talked about common things for a while, and then Yun Fenghuang tentatively mentioned the matter of Jiahe.
"If this is the case, my mother originally planned to leave for Fuyang County immediately, but if it gets colder tomorrow and my mother is getting older, it might not be appropriate to go back hastily." The emperor said lightly, "I am thinking about it. ... If it really doesn’t work, please let King Fuyang go back and offer sacrifices to the ancestors on your behalf.”
"Only Queen Youqu's mother is also in Fuyang County, and there is no one there to take charge of the overall situation. "
Yun Fenghuang guessed that what he said was nice, but in fact Jiahe was not using it to beat Empress Dowager Yuan so she wouldn't take the opportunity to cause trouble.
After all, if Empress Dowager Yuan was brought back to Fuyang County by Jiahe, and if it was difficult to return to the Imperial Capital in the future, even if Yuan Ke resurrected, it would probably be difficult to accomplish anything.
Should she let Empress Dowager Yuan choose, should she be her empress dowager honestly, or should she be driven back to see Yuan Ke, the only remaining direct nephew, struggling to survive in the temple
If it hadn't been for the past few years, Yun Fenghuang would have felt that Empress Dowager Yuan was a bit miserable and would have let it go.
After all, she and Empress Dowager Yuan didn't get along.
Posthumous title...
It was hard for her not to think about her sons in front of her. If King Qin and the Seventh Prince succeeded to the throne, they would most likely not treat her wrongly like that.
The two sons are of low rank and relatively simple in terms of their different hearts.
She leads effortlessly.
The Ninth Prince is also very good. The most difficult thing to do is actually the biological Prince Jin.
That kid…
Yandong seems a bit unfilial, and it's really hard to say in the future.
"I wonder how mother would laugh at me if she were here?" She suddenly thought of Jiang. When Jiang was so angry with her, she had said that if her grandson or granddaughter were angry with Yun Fenghuang in the future, , let Yun Fenghuang never ask for injustice.
Because she didn't deserve it.
Who told her to show mercy to her own mother when she was a daughter
"Mother..." the imperial concubine lowered her eyes and said to herself, "I don't know where she is... I don't know if she is still alive in that world?"
Jiang's disappearance and his life and death are unknown. After all, it happened many years ago.
Even if the biological mother and daughter were not related by blood, it would be difficult to shake her mood at this moment.
Yun Fenghuang thought for a while and then pressed the button. He followed Chunjia's words and said something about the profound blessings of King Fuyang. While he was flattering, someone was walking around outside.
The emperor took one look and called out casually: "What's the matter?"
But the palace man went to see the imperial concubine and said softly: "If you go back to Bidong, according to Qiongjiu Palace's report, it seems that Prince Qin Dongdong is a little injured."
The imperial concubine was not even surprised. Yun Fenghuang went to ask: "How could such a good person be injured?!"
She was already thinking in her mind whether King Qin made a mistake on his own, or whether it was the murder of others, what to do if he made a mistake, how to behave if there was a murder... Then she heard the palace man coughing and said: "Say no... Say no, I met a man outside. Miss, there was some misunderstanding and I was accidentally injured."
"Miss?" Yun Fenghuang asked displeasedly, "Whose lady is so arrogant?!"
The palace servant glanced at the emperor and lowered his head: "Returning to your Majesty, I don't know whose leg it is specifically. My slave... Is this slave who has been ordered by the Ninth Prince's Palace Master to come to report and ask Your Majesty to do it for you?" Prince Qin’s palace is in charge!”
"Where is Xiaojiu himself?" The emperor raised his eyebrows when he heard this. He was not angry or displeased, but asked slowly, "He asked me to come here to report the news. What did he do?"
The palace servant said: "Miss Xie was frightened, so the Ninth Prince had to send her back to the palace in person. Counting the time, it would be almost time to return to the palace by then."
... After some interrogation, the imperial concubine finally figured out what happened.
Ever since they went to Qiongjiu Palace, both King Qin and the Ninth Prince were restless, and they had more interactions with each other than with the Seventh Prince.
It didn't matter that month. After washing up early in the morning, the brothers packed up and left the palace.
It turned out that they had been invited by several noble men to play in a courtyard outside the city. Unexpectedly, they met Xie Mengmeng’s broken bicycle frame on the roadside. Naturally, the King of Qin and the Ninth Prince would not look away. They sent people to help them. They found out whether Xie Mengmeng wanted to go to the backyard of a certain mansion for a banquet, and strongly invited them to join them. After leaving, King Qin was not moved. After all, he had an active temperament and was really not interested in the kind of formal banquet attended by many noble ladies.
The Ninth Prince was more attentive and pulled Xie Mengmeng aside to ask the whole story. Hearing the cousin's hesitation, he said that she had attended the banquet once or twice because her family background was rather embarrassing and she was not as good as Xie Meng who was raised by the concubine herself in front of the concubine. Waiting for someone to be favored is... not very dignified.
Inviting the two prince cousins to come with him, he couldn't just show off, and he didn't have anyone to back him up.
Of course, Xie Mengmeng himself definitely couldn't be that honest, but that was not what the Ninth Prince concluded.
