Yun Fenghuang was shocked when he saw this, thinking that something had gone wrong, but Qi Jiulu took out the moon-red crepe brocade bag from his sleeve and stuffed it to her with some embarrassment: "When I came, I got it from Shemen. It turns out that I forgot about it when I saw it... After being bored all night, I don't know if it is bright or not."
At that time, someone was already up and about in front of him. He didn't dare to stay longer, so he left in a hurry after saying a few words.
Liudong Yunfenghuang stared blankly at the glowing halo in his legs. Liuying likes warmth and cannot bear the bitter cold in the north. When she was young, she did not know that she was studying with her teacher and learned a song "Ode to Fireflies" written by an ancient poet [Note], which said, "If it weren't for the sky, it would be a star by the moon." She was so curious that she once begged someone to catch it for her. Look at Liuying, whether it is "hard to extinguish the lamp when it rains, but the color becomes brighter when the wind blows".
Later, I learned that the North was too cold to give birth to such interesting insects, and I cried and cried several times... Qi Jiulu knew about it at that time, so he coaxed her, saying that when she grew up, he would take her to the South to see it, and then he could catch as many as he wanted. Catch as many as you want and watch as much as you want...
She and Qi Jiulu were both too young at that time, and even a trip out of the city felt very far away, let alone thousands of miles away in the south, so the promise seemed elusive and unreachable.
Therefore, Yun Fenghuang was not comforted at all, and lost her temper with him for a while, wondering whether that promise was insincere and whether it was a delaying tactic that she would forget after a while... She indeed forgot after a while.
But I didn't expect him to remember it very well.
She held the bag of tips that was obviously hastily made and felt in despair for a long time. Finally, after packing it up, Xile tentatively called someone outside, and Fang sighed quietly.
... After a while, Xile was waiting for Yun Fenghuang to wash up, and Nian Xuan came in and told her, "The little father-in-law in front of Bidong just came to tell me that Bidong asked him to put the breakfast over there."
Yun Fenghuang said lightly, "I understand."
In a short while, the palace attendants came in to say hello, and then went to the flower hall to prepare a meal.
After the meal was almost ready, the emperor arrived.
Hearing that Mao Jieyu was busy dressing up, she skipped the meal and went to the outer room to take a look.
It turned out that when he came in, he saw the kit on the dressing table. The emperor picked it up and looked at it for a while, then asked with a smile: "Where did it come from?"
"Your son, Your Majesty didn't come this morning. I was very bored, so I asked Xile to take care of it." "Yun Fenghuang didn't look back and said, "Bidong knows that I grew up in the Northland. There are no flying fireflies in the Northland. So why didn't you catch a lot of them on a whim? "
The moon-red crepe brocade bag is full of fireflies. They have been suffocating in Qi Jiulu's sleeves all morning. Until now, many of them have died, but a few still flicker their tails tenaciously, exuding a quiet light in the shadows. .
The emperor stared at it quietly for a moment, put it back where it was, and said with a chuckle: "Jieyu said it as if she was jealous, so I'll stay at my place tomorrow night."
"I am not a stingy person like that." Yun Fenghuang had just finished dressing up at that time. Hearing this, he turned his head, glanced at him, and asked not to smile, "Bidong said before, the concubines coming from the East are from I have arranged for you to go to my concubine’s place tomorrow night. Your Majesty would like to accompany me and wait until tomorrow."
After shutting up, she slowly stood up, gently gathered her skirt, and the jade pendant tied around her waist made a pleasant crisp sound as it hit each other, "After all, I am a concubine, and I must set an example for the concubines. That's not the first thing; secondly, I am in a difficult position as a descendant of Ming Dynasty, but I don't dare to serve His Majesty too much, so as not to delay His Majesty's efforts to expand the royal family."
The emperor smiled, did not answer the words, and said: "Concubine Hen is ready, let's go have a meal."
After they sat down in the flower hall, Yi Xingen came to ask to see Yun Fenghuang.
"I have a maid there. Since I'm here, I'll go east and use it together." Yun Fenghuang said casually, "Liuhong, give Yi Fengyi a seat."
"I don't dare." Yi Xing'en said quickly, "I am a servant, and I am not a member of the Huanqing Palace. It is natural for me to serve the master. Please don't think that I am stupid."
She had already said that, and Yun Fenghuang didn't bother to be pretentious. He waved his legs and asked Xi Jing, who was originally serving him, to open his arms and let Yi Xing'en serve her.
Yi Xingen's skills in serving others are definitely not as good as those of Hee Jing and others who have been palace maids for several years, but she is stunningly beautiful. Even though she does not dare to show off because of her position at the moment, she has two silver gilts inserted sideways into her bun. The gold silk carp hairpin and the green hibiscus flower earrings beside the ears are just like the clouds and winds that came from the east when I entered the Huaqing Palace. I have been wearing them for the past two months and they have not slowed down.
Wearing a newly cut bean green palace dress, it has no decorations, but the sleeves are gently removed, revealing a bright wrist. With delicate jade fingers, she holds a toothbrush and a silver spoon to scoop soup for Yunfenghuang. It is unfamiliar, but still indescribably graceful and charming, like a painting.
Yun Fenghuang looked at it with a happy mood, but Emperor Chunjia who was not far away turned a blind eye. After eating and drinking, he took the handkerchief Yan Yin handed him and wiped the corners of his mouth, then took tea and rinsed his mouth, and finally told Yun Fenghuang to calm down. Yes, he had something to do and left first - originally according to the rules in the palace, it didn't matter whether he was dining with the emperor or the emperor said he was dining with his concubines. If the emperor took the toothbrush, it would start, and if the emperor stopped eating, it would end. .
But Chunjia has always been generous and never cares about such trivial matters.
Yun Fenghuang stared at him, how could he be willing to wrong himself
At this moment, he actually waved his legs and said: "Bidong, walk slowly, it's hot, take care of yourself." Then he continued to drink soup.
As expected, the emperor didn't mean to be angry, he smiled and stood up to leave.
During that process, he didn't even look at Yi Xing'en, leaving the beautiful palace concubine to bite her lip consciously, but then lowered her head and continued to serve the host honestly.
After a long while, Yun Fenghuang finally finished eating. After rinsing his mouth, he pressed the corner of his lips with a handkerchief and said to her: "In the next two months, I plan to arrange for me to serve your Majesty. I will pay more attention to serve you. Wait." I went to the Qishan Palace so that I could apply for the promotion of the Queen and I... Although the palace will have newcomers entering the palace next year, there are not many vacant seats. I should not belittle myself for my appearance. Moving in."
Anyway, you don't ask for money when you are encouraging me. The promotion will be under the control of the queen. If your request fails, let the resentful queen go.
Yi Xingen went to kneel down and thank Donglai.
"I've been tired all morning too." Yun Fenghuang said nonchalantly, "Let's go and have a rest... That's wrong, Nianxuan, take those gold folded silk apricot flower and pomegranate earrings. That one suits Yi Fengyi very well."
The wrong earrings don't cost much, and when you put them together, you feel comfortable looking at them, so you should let her wear them for you.
After sending the person away like this, Xijing came to say something: "Mother, I see that Na Yi Fengyi looks honest, but in fact she may not have no thoughts. Bidong didn't stay in her yard to eat, but he beat her up. Didn’t you notice that she ran over under the guise of serving you? When she was serving you just now, did you notice her charming tone... It’s a good thing that Bidong didn’t notice it!”
"How do I know that Bidong didn't pay attention?" Yun Fenghuang smiled and said, "Yi Fengyi is beautiful, and what she did just now was so pleasing to the eye that even the women in this palace couldn't take their eyes away, but Bidong actually didn't even look at her. Dong, are you really not paying attention, or are you not paying attention on purpose?"
Xijing was shocked when he heard this and frowned: "Then, please..."
"What are you begging for?" Yun Fenghuang said nonchalantly, "The people in this palace live up to their expectations, and it is too late for me to reward her. We are not allowed to mess around, otherwise I will find out, and we will look good on her!"
Xijing Fudong's consciousness tightened, and he was startled when he heard the words. He thought of what Yun Fenghuang had just said to the emperor. If the leader of his family couldn't have a child, he really didn't need to live in the palace. She is jealous, after all, she hopes that Yi Xingen and others will give her children, right
Did she show an understanding expression and said, "My maid is confused."
He flattered her, "But even though Yi Fengyi had been there for a long time, Bidong didn't care about her after all, even if he didn't care intentionally. It shows that Bidong does not value the empress more after all."
Yun Fenghuang smiled at this, changed the subject and asked Ji Muzi: "Did Ji Bin do anything after we went back together yesterday?"
"It seems that someone sent a few messages to the outside world." Chen Zhu heard the words and kept replying, "If one of them is going to Qishan, he should probably give it to the Queen Mother and the Queen Mother and the others."
"That's wrong. Yesterday, Ji Minggan and Yuan Ke didn't accompany them when they came back. What can you find out?" Yun Fenghuang said "hmm" and remembered, "Bidong just left after eating. , could it be related to that matter?"
In fact, when the emperor came into the outer room to see her dressing up, she should have made some insinuations, but who told the emperor to see the kit as soon as he entered, pick it up, and start asking questions
Yun Fenghuang seemed to be prevaricating in an understatement, but his heart was filled with turmoil, and he actually forgot about the serious matter.
Chen Zhu was simply very capable. At this moment, he turned around and looked around. He dismissed all the idle people, leaving only the people who had followed Yun Fenghuang when he was at Xi Xingxuan. Then he whispered: "It is said that those two Yesterday, a man from Didong was working on fishing hooks and making legs. His fall into the water had a lot to do with it. Therefore, he was captured by the imperial city. They are being asked to interrogate them for murdering Bidong... Haixi Hou Xingning Bo started yesterday morning. I just rushed here from Qishan and waited outside Bidong’s yard all morning!”
"So that's what happened." Yun Fenghuang shook his fan and said thoughtfully, "Then those two people are really guilty of heinous crimes!"
She smiled as she spoke, with a rather amused look on her face, but did she think of the scene where Ji Minggan and Yuan Ke wanted to go fishing together on the boat yesterday, but she rejected them, and both of them looked unhappy after that - the temperaments of the two people, they collided with each other. After a nail was nailed, they would not just give up. Even if the concubine who gave them the nail was mostly a concubine who was trying to cause trouble.
It turned out that the emperor had tricked the emperor by forcing her to act coquettishly and let the emperor help her walk the fish
It looked like that, after all, Yun Fenghuang could have given the fishing rod to the emperor himself.
But then I thought that although the trip was not my own suggestion, the trip to the lake was not the emperor's arrangement, and he was obviously traveling with his concubines, so why should he be accompanied by a bunch of people
I always feel that there may not be an affair, and there may be the emperor's guidance or fueling the flames
After all, does the emperor have a history of summer banquets
"Zheng Fengpin's case involved the Hussars General and Cui Shangshu. The emperor fell into trouble and was dragged into the Ji family and the Yuan family..." Yun Fenghuang thought secretly in his heart. There are only a few forces in the temples of the country, except for the emperor. The Duke of Yi State who was sent to the palace, and the regent, who was a temporary ally of the emperor, were all dragged in...
She couldn't help being shocked!
Although I don’t know what Chunjia’s tricks are to pick up Donglai, but judging from the current situation - just let him succeed, or take off the cage and roar for nine days if he can’t!
How is that possible!
Although Empress Ji's ship was not too reliable, for Yun Fenghuang, who had offended Yuan Yuniang, the Empress Dowager Yuan, Yuan Ke, and even the emperor countless times, the consequences of the emperor's power were more serious. !
Therefore, she must not let the emperor's plan go smoothly... Especially if Ji Minggan's information was not given to the emperor indirectly by her, the Ji family suffered a big loss because of it. It was clear that they could not do anything to the emperor, and they would definitely He suspected Yun Fenghuang and then took it out on her!
So what should Yandong do
Yun Fenghuang thought quickly, asking whether it would be best to destroy the emperor's plan. The question was: After all, she had always been hiding in the palace. She didn't know much about the emperor's movements, and she knew even less about the secret actions of Dong Yan. The queen's supporter is very absent, her actions are restrained, and she has no clue... I am afraid that the idea will not work out.
"For a clear plan, it seems that the regent can be found in the Yiguo Duke's Mansion." Yun Fenghuang's eyes flickered, and for a moment, he whispered to himself, "In this case, everyone will not be aware of the red, the emperor asks If you ask for equal punishment and equal pardon, there is no way to punish one group and beat another... "
Well, as for how to give those two sides black legs...
She thought for a while and then ordered: "Go and tell the concubine to come over!"
Although that kind of thing can be done without Ji Muzi, but... why!
The first one to bear the brunt is the Ji family. Whether Ji Muzi is willing or unwilling, she must be the first to charge into the battle!
