"What are you looking at me for?" Yun Fenghuang snorted when he saw this, and asked the others to retreat. Then he said with a cold face, "What happened just now? Didn't you all see it?"
Xijing and Xile looked at each other with bitter expressions. They quickly squeezed out a smile and said flatteringly: "Madam, the servants are stupid... Your Majesty... Your Majesty is talented, but just now he is the same as before. This..."
They really can't see the Sacred Heart!
"Since it's the same, isn't it the end?" Yun Fenghuang picked up the fan and flapped it at it, and said calmly, "If His Majesty dislikes me, do you think he still has the need to make excuses with me now?"
It sounds reasonable, but Xijing Xile always felt that something was wrong. Looking at each other again, Xijing smiled dryly and said, "That's what the queen said."
After saying this, the two of them felt like they had taken root under their feet and refused to move away.
When Yun Fenghuang saw them like this, he knew that he was still worried. He sneered and slapped his fan on the table: "To take a step back, even if His Majesty's connivance a moment ago had ulterior motives, after all, it is our master. Isn’t that a servant’s confidence?”
He poked his eyes at Xijing with meaning, "It's better than those worthless people who don't have to regret it if they cook it anytime and anywhere!"
When Xijing arrived at Huzhu Palace, she still wanted to overpower Yun Fenghuang, but Yun Fenghuang punished her on the spot and told her clearly: her loyalty to the queen was worthless.
What the Queen wants is a loyal servant who can actually do things, not a fool who fails to succeed and fails to do things, but has some spare time and is loyal!
Although Yun Fenghuang is still unsure of the emperor's plans...
but…
The fact that the emperor has indulged her so far and is still willing to act with her must mean that she will be useful to the emperor in the future... right
After all, this emperor is not Yuan Niang. In his current situation, he is probably not in the mood to play tricks on the cat and the mouse.
"... That's what the Queen said." This time the two palace maids repeated subconsciously. Although they were still hesitant, the frown between their eyebrows relaxed a little, giving rise to some hope: after all, they both came from the Queen's Palace. , and the one waiting was Yun Fenghuang, who always followed Zhonggong closely.
If the emperor gains power, even if the emperor doesn't care about these two maids, Yuan Yuniang will definitely not be able to pass the test.
Therefore, he had no choice but to pray to Yun Fenghuang for his unparalleled wisdom and wisdom to pass this hurdle.
"Okay, you have worked hard these past two days. If you don't have anything else to do now, just go down and take a breather and let Liu Hong and Nian Xuan take over." Yun Fenghuang saw that they had settled down, so he ordered, "It just so happens that I am also here. Think about what to do next.”
Xijing and Xile did not dare to neglect after hearing this, so they went to the back one after another, and Liu Hong and Nian Xuan came over.
Although Liu Hong was the person Yun Fenghuang took the initiative to be around, in fact, because Xile was Gong Xiangxiao's real spy in front of Yun Fenghuang, among the four personal maids, she was the one who followed Yun Fenghuang. Feng Huang is the most distant.
She is also a taciturn person. Now that she has come and bowed, she just stands with her hands down.
But after all, Nian Xuan grew up with Yun Fenghuang. Even though she has been compared to Xijing Xile recently, perhaps she was ignorant when she was in the Xie family and didn't know how to pinch the tip. Now she doesn't feel dissatisfied or dissatisfied. The aggrieved man bowed after arriving and said to Yun Fenghuang excitedly: "Madam, the old woman behind me just now told my servant, look at the day, I'm afraid it's going to rain in the evening, and tonight it's going to rain." The wind is much cooler.”
Hearing this, Yun Fenghuang raised his head and looked outside. As expected, he saw that the sky, which had been clear before and the sun was shining brightly, suddenly came from the sky. Groups of dark clouds came from the sky and pushed in darkly, turning the originally bright sky into a gloomy one. .
"Well, if this rain falls, I'm afraid it will be heavy." She thought to herself that the change in the sky seemed to be in response to the changes in the current situation in the past two days. I don't know if it was a coincidence or a sign
While thinking this, he said absently, "The doors and windows of your house must be closed, so that your luggage and bedding won't get wet."
Nian Xuan hurriedly said that she had checked before coming and also reminded others.
Yun Fenghuang was about to nod when he saw her expression wanting to speak but hesitated, so he raised his eyebrows and asked, "What's wrong?"
"Mother, it's raining now, and it's probably going to be a thunderstorm." Nian Xuan glanced at Liuhong, thinking about her words, "Look... do you want to go to His Majesty to tell me later?"
"What's wrong with the thunderstorm?" Yun Fenghuang said nonchalantly. As he finished speaking, he remembered that she used to hide in Jiang's arms when there was thunder and lightning, and would not come out until after the thunder... Later When her family sent her to the Imperial Capital, Mrs. Jiang specially wrote a letter to her sister-in-law explaining this, and asked Mrs. Xie to pay attention to it.
I still remember the first thunderstorm day after arriving in the Imperial Capital. She was sitting on the leeward side of the half-open window, staring at the white rain curtain outside, and was stunned. Suddenly there were footsteps outside. He hugged her, comforting and blaming himself: "It's all my aunt's fault. I just read your mother's letter two months ago. I've never seen you as a timid child, but I almost forgot about this... Fortunately, your sister-in-law was in front of your aunt and remembered when she heard the thunder. Good boy, don't be afraid, your aunt is here, and she is protecting you... ah? "
...In fact, neither Jiang nor Xie knew that Yun Fenghuang was not afraid of thunderstorms at all. With her personality, she might have been frightened by rolling thunder when she was a child, but how could she really be frightened by such a powerful force when she grew older? Scared by something that has an extremely small chance of harming her
I pretended to be weak at first just to compete with my concubine Xie Fenghuan for favor...
When she was very young, she didn't know the difference between herself and Xie Fenghuan, because Jiang never told her about being a concubine, but always taught her to respect her sister. Out of the same.
However, Xie Fenghuan was several years older than her after all. When Yun Fenghuang grew up, he had a friend who was about the same age. He didn't play much with an older girl like Xie Fenghuan, and he gradually found out from his friends what had happened. Xie Fenghuan was raised by her aunt.
At this time, Yun Fenghuang didn't think there was any problem.
Until one time the steward of the outer courtyard sent a batch of jewelry in. Jiang always let Xie Fenghuan pick first, and the bracelet Yun Fenghuang picked by Xie Fenghuan also took a fancy to it. Although Xie Fenghuan noticed her sister's thoughts and immediately gave it to her, The friends all told Yun Fenghuang that this should have been hers: "You are the only legitimate daughter in your room. There is a difference between a legitimate daughter and a concubine. The one you like should be yours. How can it be her turn to give it to you?" ? Isn’t this using something that is yours as a favor?”
At that time, Yun Fenghuang was young and had a natural tendency to like pinching points. At first, he didn't take it seriously, but after hearing more, he started to listen.
She didn't know that the main reason why these cousins across the room said this was because of jealousy.
This kind of jealousy comes from their mother's jealousy that Jiang is not a tomb woman but is actually a tomb woman; it also comes from their jealousy that their direct or concubine life is not as good and comfortable as Jiang's two daughters; some even come from the jealousy of Jiang's two daughters. Jealousy of the close friendship between Xie Fenghuan and Yun Fenghuang.
In short, Yun Fenghuang began to consciously compete with Xie Fenghuan.
She wants whatever Xie Fenghuan likes, and she wants whatever Xie Fenghuan wears and looks good on. She will be picky about Xie Fenghuan's favorite food, saying that she won't have the appetite to serve it if it is placed in front of her... If it was too much, he just sighed and continued to coax and give in.
But how smart is Jiang
She quickly noticed her biological daughter's little moves, and then Yun Fenghuang was scolded for the first time in his life.
But she didn't feel that she had done anything wrong. It is natural to differentiate between concubine and concubine, right
Because he couldn't defeat his own mother, Yun Fenghuang became more and more fed up with Xie Fenghuan. However, she was smarter than other children of the same age. She soon discovered that frontal rejection and suppression of this sister would only cause Jiang's troubles and discipline, so she soon changed her policy: she began to act coquettishly, act cute, pretend to be pitiful, pretend to be timid...
Sure enough, there was nothing Jiang could do with such a little daughter. It wasn't that she couldn't see Yun Fenghuang's purpose, but... was this her biological flesh and blood, or her only biological daughter? The little girl had pink makeup and sparkled like grapes. The big eyes looked softly and sweetly into her arms, what else could she do
Even if he pretends too much, it will be impossible for Jiang to fully understand everything.
During thunderstorms, he would cry and make noises, asking her to hold her little daughter, asking her to accompany her, and asking her to hang around her little daughter... At first, she was a little skeptical, but Yun Fenghuang was very perseverant, and he did it again and again, so Jiang believed it.
Later, whenever there was thunder and rain, Jiang would drop everything and rush to her yard to accompany her.
The more this happened, the more motivated Yun Fenghuang was to continue acting - because on such days, her usually busy mother was completely alone.
Sometimes, even her father Xie Jian is hers alone.
When they arrived at Mrs. Xie's place, since Mrs. Xie wanted to pity her, Yun Fenghuang, who had just arrived, was happy to win sympathy. By thanking her aunt and thanking her cousin, she got closer to him.
It's just that she didn't expect Nian Xuan to be so honest and honest, but she believed him.
"..." He was silent for a moment, and then said to Nian Xuan, "Your Majesty is busy now, so why bother with such a small thing? You guys can just stay with me then."
Nian Xuan looked worried, but after hesitating for a while, she still sighed and agreed: "Would you like me to ask someone to prepare some soothing soup?"
Why should Yun Fenghuang be so solemn in his heart? But there was no need to bother her, so he nodded: "Just ask the palace servants outside to go to the kitchen and explain."
So Nianxuan went out to tell someone, and when she came back she chatted with Yun Fenghuang. Not long after, a palace maid came in to report that it was Yi Fengyi who was asking for an audience.
"Is this?" Yun Fenghuang responded casually after hearing the words. After a moment, he saw Yi Xing'en had changed into indigo palace clothes and had already put on the gold folded silk apricot flower and pomegranate earrings that Yun Fenghuang had rewarded in the morning. This was extremely Although she was wearing ordinary clothes, she had an indescribable beauty on her body. Even the food box she was holding in her hand seemed to be unique.
After she came in, she bowed politely. Seeing Yun Fenghuang looking at her in confusion, she hurriedly said: "I just heard that your Majesty wanted to have a soothing soup. I happened to have nothing to do, so I went to the small kitchen to make it myself. Here’s a bowl, I hope your Majesty won’t dislike it.”
Yun Fenghuang wanted to laugh a little when she heard this, because she had just carried the food box "made by my own hands" to the emperor's side, but she didn't expect that the servants below would also use the same method to show their courtesy.
"Feng Yi is thoughtful." Holding back a dry cough, Yun Fenghuang asked Liu Hong to come forward and take the soothing soup. He praised her a few words softly, and then asked Nian Xuan to take a pair of gold-chambered jade clouds and cranes with cat's eyes. He admired her and said, "You may not be able to use this pair of ribbon rings now, but they will be almost ready when you go to Qishan."
This was another hint that Yi Xing'en would ask the queen for promotion after arriving at the palace. Yi Xing'en then showed joy, kowtowed repeatedly to thank her, and then left happily.
After she left, Nianxuan smiled: "This Fengyi knows how to do business."
A bowl of worthless soup made from the Emperor's soothing soup, and exchanged for a pair of gold-chambered jade ribbon rings, would be more than a fortune.
Yun Fenghuang smiled. She usually didn't care about such small thoughts, let alone now she had no time to care about it. She only said: "I originally planned to reward her with something to wear, but now it's just a convenience."
What else should I say, there was a sudden thunder outside, and Nian Xuan and Liu Hong both changed their expressions in fright. Although Yun Fenghuang was calm on the face, he was also startled in his heart. The master and servant turned their heads and looked outside, and saw a crash. The raindrops hit the branches and leaves in an instant, and a thin layer of white mist quickly rose in the courtyard.
