The emperor's attitude was so clear that even Princess Sui'an, the late emperor's daughter, tried to protect Yun Fenghuang's character and kindness. Meng and others weighed the pros and cons and finally chose to give up.
They threw out a group of people as scapegoats for "slandering the concubine", and wrote a letter of apology claiming that the person responsible was deceived and the person unknown... The emperor scolded a few words, and the matter was over.
In the summer of the 22nd year of Chunjia, Yun Fenghuang, the successor who had been abandoned for less than three months, returned to Yanfu Palace.
Concubine Shu immediately sent the Phoenix Seal back, and Concubine De even cried with joy on the spot: "My sister has been cleared of her grievances! These days, my sister and Concubine Shu have the final say in everything, and I really can't handle it! Now I see my sister coming out. In charge of the overall situation, I finally have a backbone in my heart!"
Concubine Cui Shu also breathed a sigh of relief. She had not planned to get involved in messy things for a long time. She was only thinking about going to the fiefdom with her heir to become a concubine. She was most afraid of any complications at this moment.
Although she and Yun Fenghuang are not without grievances, they have gotten along well in recent years. The most important thing is that Cui Shufei herself has no ambition to be the Queen Mother. Who doesn't want to be the Queen Mother? No matter how bad Yun Fenghuang is, one good thing is that he can control the scene very well.
Concubine Shu most hopes that such a person will be in power now. If anything happens, just make trouble in the Imperial Capital and don't disturb the fiefdom.
Yun Fenghuang herself was not particularly happy about the reset. After all, she had known about it since Chunjia was reluctant to announce her treatment.
I don’t know if it’s because his current situation has become more arbitrary and he has long since broken away from the inability to control his own life and death, or because the emperor is such a bad character. In short, in most cases, Chunjia’s heart is as solid as iron. The scope he delimits will never Allow any transgression.
But at critical moments, he will actually become soft-hearted and waver.
For example, at the New Year's Eve banquet that year, the ministers of the Sixth Palace were left behind to meet the loving mother, the Queen Mother.
For another example, this time I was so angry that I still chose to defend him to the end.
However…
Although the loving mother Empress Dowager returned to the Imperial Capital after that, even the Empress Dowager Qu, who had always been inseparable from her, has not been able to set foot in the Imperial Capital and can only live a wealthy and lonely life in the distant Fuyang County, but... Yuan The Queen Mother's degree of restraint since then cannot be compared to when she was still living in Chunyou Palace.
Not only did he not return to the palace, he even put on a mask of love, carelessness, tolerance, and gentleness.
Now it's Yun Fenghuang's turn to be in a similar situation.
After all the things she had done, the emperor forgave her and even restored her to a lower position... Can she still be as noisy as before
Yun Fenghuang frowned slightly. If she really had no desires or desires, it wouldn't matter if she didn't care.
But she is not.
People are most embarrassed and courageous when they have nothing, but when they have so many chips in their hands, they are most likely to hesitate.
Because I am worried that I will lose everything.
And not only herself, but also her children, the attendants who have been following her for many years...
Because of her one decision, wealth will continue to grow, or there will be nothing.
But if nothing is done.
She will be a noble queen, and her children will be well taken care of and receive almost everything except the throne.
The emperor did have her in his heart, and it held more weight than she thought.
He would think of every possible way to consider her future, and many years later, not only would the prince be full-fledged, but so would her children
The strength and weakness between the emperor and the vassal kings has never been static.
What's more, she also has a niece of the Weihe Dalan family.
But this is just a good idea.
Thinking about the worst, she is already in her thirties this year. Even if she is pampered, how long can she retain her youth
Talking about everlasting love... Yun Fenghuang didn't quite believe it.
Back then, she and Qi Jiulu were childhood sweethearts. They had grown up together in a lively way. However, over the years, she had rarely thought of him.
Even when I mention it occasionally, I feel calm.
Even though I miss him a little, it's not so much that I miss this person as I miss my own youth.
Over the years, she had forgotten the vows she had made, let alone the emperor
When Chunjia values her, of course he will try his best to think about her. Once he loses interest... Yun Fenghuang sighed in his heart. The emperor was right about what he said. After all, she just couldn't believe him.
Even though he protected her from this crisis, she still couldn't believe him.
This is not only because of Concubine An's example, but also because she really feels that she can be where she is today purely through her own efforts.
Rather than the emperor's favor.
The same emperor's favor, obtained through one's own efforts, is more reassuring than the emperor's initiative to give it, and there is no reason.
The next day, Jihou, who was restored to the throne, once again accepted the greetings from the Sixth Palace.
And several daughters-in-law are also required to go.
The Crown Princess did countless psychological construction in the East Palace before she was able to pretend to be calm and walk into Chongchang Palace.
However, the queen didn't bother her that day. Instead, she talked to Princess Qin and Princess Song for a long time.
Then he was ordered to disperse.
The Crown Princess was very suspicious after she returned, always feeling that her stepmother must have some conspiracy.
But the news that followed was about the vassal agreement between King Qin and King Song.
Only then did she remember that it was the summer of the 22nd year of Chunjia. The King of Qin, the King of Song, and the Crown Prince were all fifteen years old. Except for the Crown Prince, the King of Qin and the King of Song should have become vassals.
The Crown Princess finally found some sense of superiority as a woman of Tianjia Tomb. After all, these days, Yun Fenghuang has been picky and picky about her, but he treats Princess Qin as if he were his own child. Those who don't know it think Yun Xuxu is Yun Xuxu. Feng Huang's direct niece is Princess Song. Although she is not as favored as Princess Qin, she has everything she should have, and her attitude is kind.
She alone should have the most honorable status among the sisters-in-law, but her treatment is the worst.
Now that these two sisters-in-law are leaving the prosperous Imperial Capital with their husbands to go to the feudal kingdom, won't the Crown Princess be happy
But her happiness did not last long. The main reason was that her two sisters-in-law were gone and her sister-in-law, Princess Chu, came.
Princess Chu Princess Shao was born as the legitimate daughter of the Shao family. She was both talented and beautiful, so she would marry a normal prince. However, due to family reasons, she was married to the stupid King Chu. Because of this, even Chunjia had two words for her daughter-in-law. A kind word and good treatment by Yun Fenghuang can be regarded as compensation for the King of Chu.
Yun Fenghuangyuan didn't intend to treat irrelevant people badly. In other words, except for Dong Palace and the friendly people in Dong Palace, she actually didn't bother to stir up trouble.
After all, as Yun Xuxu's wet nurse said, she doesn't need to bully her subordinates to show her power and majesty.
Shao was also very good at getting things done. To be precise, Shao was good at getting things done before the emperor and the empress. It was said that he was also very good at taking care of the King of Chu, but it was different with the Crown Princess.
Yes, Shaw disliked the Crown Princess.
"Mother, what is the Crown Princess inserting in her hair?" Because although Princess Qin and Princess Song are not close to the Crown Princess, they have nothing to do with each other. The Crown Princess does not like these two sisters-in-law in her heart, and the sister-in-law underneath is fine. I have a good impression, but she is still living in fear in front of Yun Fenghuang, and she doesn't dare to do anything wrong to Shao. Who knows that if she doesn't trouble Shao, Shao will target her first. This sister-in-law When they met, Mr. Shao flattered Yun Fenghuang with a smile, and then the conversation turned to the princess, "I have never met my daughter-in-law before."
Yun Fenghuang didn't even look at the princess, and said harmoniously to Shao: "If you like it, just let her give it to you."
Shao was immediately happy and said hypocritically: "Mother, is this okay? If the Crown Princess is reluctant to let go..."
"Why is she reluctant to part with her?" Yun Fenghuang wrote lightly, "After all, she is your sister-in-law. She has no dignity at all. How can she be the mother of the world in the future?"
After saying this, he glanced at Wei Xiyan, "It's from the prince's family, is it okay?"
Crown Princess: “…”
Poor maid Shao! Poor maid Xiao Yunshi! Did you hear that? ! You bastards! Maid! ! !
She took a deep breath and forced a smile, "What did the queen say? If I had known that my younger siblings would like it, my daughter-in-law should have taken the initiative to send her to Prince Chu's Mansion."
"Really?" Mr. Shao looked at her with surprise, "I heard that the East Palace recently received a new batch of clothing materials, and the tributes..."
Before he finished speaking, Yun Fenghuang had already calmly raised his eyebrows and said, "You can go back and draw up a list for the Crown Princess and ask her to deliver it all."
Crown Princess: “…”
"What did your father say?" As if sensing her anger, Yun Fenghuang frowned, "It's not been easy for you fifth brother these years, you have to take good care of their young couple. What? It's just such a small thing, and you are like this Reluctantly, how can I and your father expect you to take care of your many brothers and sisters in the future?!"
These words were serious, especially given Shenzong's criminal record. The princess had to kneel down immediately: "My daughter-in-law didn't mean that. My daughter-in-law was just thinking about what other things are suitable to send to Prince Chu's Mansion."
"This is a good boy." Yun Fenghuang smiled, turned around, put on a loving face with Shao, and said softly, "If you want anything from now on, just tell the princess, okay My child, you did not grow up in the Imperial Capital, so you still have to ask the Crown Princess for advice on many things and people."
The Crown Princess was not happy at all when she was praised by her successor for the first time. Both Queen Pian and Princess Chu laughed happily, and the other concubines also laughed with them. She could not show off her displeasure at all.
Otherwise, you know, Yun Fenghuang will definitely go to the emperor to complain, saying that the princess is narrow-minded and can no longer tolerate her sisters-in-law. How will the East Palace treat the blood of siblings in the future
She endured it again and again, over and over again, and cried profusely when she returned to the East Palace.
Before her tears were wiped away, Shaw brought someone to the door to urge her. She actually brought a long list of good things that had been allocated to the East Palace these days. She tactfully expressed that she wanted them all!
Crown Princess: "...!!!"
How dare she? ! How dare she! ! How dare she! ! !
"Your Majesty, calm down. If Princess Chu wants something, just give it to her. When the time comes, the East Palace will be short of money. If you don't tell the prince, how can you not tell outsiders if they see it?" The dowry quickly advised, "When the time comes, it seems like you will be at a disadvantage, but that's the truth. I'm on your side. If I don't give it, not to mention that the Queen will definitely hold him accountable. If word gets out, people will also say that you went back on your word!"
That Yun Fenghuang was arrogant when he moved to Xuanqing Palace, let alone now that he has resumed his post.
If the Crown Princess dares to say no, she will immediately become a chicken to scare other monkeys after she resumes her status as Queen!
"Then what medicine did Shao take wrong? Is she so sure that Xiaoyun can protect her for the rest of her life?" The princess actually knew these truths. She gritted her teeth and threw things for a long time before agreeing, but she was really angry and couldn't help but Asked the left and right, "Or is she under Xiaoyun's instruction to specifically target the East Palace?!"
In fact, at the Chongchang Palace at this moment, Yun Fenghuang was also asking: "This Shao family is interesting. Didn't she become the Princess of Chu for the sake of her biological mother? In this case, why did she take the initiative to provoke the Crown Princess?"
