Luqin Taichung was originally quiet, except for a few suppressed sobs.
Yun Fenghuang said this, and there was an instant silence inside.
After a while, I heard a lot of noise, with several palace people calling in panic: "My Majesty! My Majesty! My Majesty, please wake up... Don't scare me, My Majesty!"
Emperor Chunjia strode out. Due to the fierce movement, his wide black sleeves fluttered like dark clouds. The look of anger on the emperor's face was as if thunder was about to come. He went to the corridor and glared at Yun Fenghuang, and said in a cold voice: "Yun Shi!!!"
"Your Majesty is still here, that's just right." Yun Fenghuang raised his head slightly and looked at him, with half teasing and half pleasure in his eyes, and said loudly, "Please let Your Majesty and my poor sister Shu Fei make the decision! Sister Shu Fei I have always been a virtuous and virtuous person, and the most gentle, virtuous and considerate person. How could I possibly murder the emperor's heir?! This must have been framed by the imperial concubine and deliberately targeted our Duke of Yi!"
The emperor looked at her, as if he wanted to choose someone to devour, but Yun Fenghuang didn't shy away, his brows full of provocation!
The emperor and his concubine faced each other for a moment. The emperor closed his eyes and almost squeezed out his voice through his teeth, saying word by word: "This matter... I and the queen will investigate it thoroughly. Mao Jieyu has just returned. It is important to rest. Go back to Lanzhou Yeyu Pavilion immediately, and you are not allowed to take a step without my permission!"
"Your Majesty, I have a humble body, and it is only because of the promotion of my uncles and aunts, and the persistence of my concubines and sisters, that I can enter the palace to serve you!" Upon hearing this, Yun Fenghuang said nothing, lightly lifted the hem of her skirt, and knelt on the ground. When she raised her head, tears welled up in her eyelashes, and she said in a trembling voice, "I was so slow to say that I was banned from Lanzhou Yeyu Pavilion. Even if I was sentenced to death on the spot by Your Majesty, death would not be a pity! But Sister Shu Fei has served you for eight years, and she is What kind of person is your Majesty, you don’t know yet? She herself suffered from miscarriage, how could she have the heart to attack the imperial heir in the concubine’s womb?!"
When I said the last sentence, I burst into tears!
It was almost evening at this time, and the mountains were covered with lush vegetation. In the palace built to escape the summer heat, there were towering ancient trees and plum blossoms everywhere. Although the Luqin Terrace where the imperial concubine lives has the word "Tai", it is not a real high terrace. Instead, it is built on a large and flat mountain rock. It is surrounded by camphor pines and moss, even under the scorching sun. During the day, the light and shadow are also mixed, and it is as cool as autumn.
The young Jieyu knelt down in a pitiful manner. Her primrose-colored embroidered pomegranate-red oleander pleated skirt spread out on the soft moss ground, making her snow-white skin, black hair, and lips reddish-pink even more obvious. Looking at her from an angle, her fair and slender neck is like a swan, her long eyelashes flutter like butterfly wings, she is indescribably pure and soft, charming but not demonic.
If it were a different emperor who was a little more compassionate, I'm afraid he would have softened his heart.
But Chunjia was not only unwilling to be soft-hearted, she even wanted to give her death on the spot - but at this time, Concubine Zheng, who had just fainted inside, faintly woke up and insisted on letting the palace servants help her out: "Your Majesty..."
"Why are you up, my beloved concubine?" The emperor frowned, and hurriedly walked over to support her, scolding her gently, "The imperial doctor said that you have to stay in bed to recuperate these days."
Seeing Concubine Zheng staring at Yun Fenghuang at the foot of the stairs with an inexplicable expression, his eyes darkened and his tone became gentler, "Come, I will accompany you in first... I will handle the things here, be obedient, okay?" "
"What can your Majesty do with it?" The imperial concubine did not move. She looked away from Yun Fenghuang and looked at the misty mountains. She smiled to herself and said sadly, "My child will never come back. ”
"My beloved concubine..." Although the emperor was not looking forward to Concubine Zheng's child at all, and was even happy to see the concubine's miscarriage, he couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed at this moment.
Concubine Zheng was the second-highest concubine among his concubines, second only to the empress. She was dignified and beautiful. In terms of appearance, she even looked more like a palace official than the empress. Her temperament is also steady and dignified. She is not like a powerful official, but like a woman raised in a good family with full rules.
When it comes to saving the emperor's worries, they are probably just a little worse than the Yun family and his daughter who are dedicated to being royalists.
After entering the palace for many years, he was respectful and obedient to Chunjia. Even after the pregnancy, the emperor rarely visited him, but he never complained... Although the emperor knew that he didn't mind this kind of respect, mainly because the imperial concubine also had limited feelings for him, but she still behaved herself. He has served the concubine who has never given him any trouble over the years.
She had just had a miscarriage, and she had lost her child in such a violent way that the imperial doctor tactfully hinted that if she didn't sit properly during the confinement period, she might end up following in the footsteps of Mao Jieyu, and it would be difficult for her to have children.
It was already very difficult, miserable and unfortunate to get here, but in the end, the perpetrator's clan sister came to the door aggressively, calling out Concubine Shu's injustice, calling her "a cheap maid"... This was not the same as Concubine Chao's blood-soaked heart. What's the difference between stabbing someone with a knife, and stabbing someone with more than one or two knives? !
Due to emotions and reasons, it was impossible for the emperor not to follow the concubine's advice at this moment. Sensing the resentment in her words, he hesitated for a moment, and finally sighed: "Don't worry, concubine, I... I will definitely let Duke Yi The government will give you an explanation!"
"Thank you, Your Majesty." The concubine's face seemed to be covered with a layer of frost, cold and lifeless. She said the words of thanks in her mouth, but there was no fluctuation in her eyes. She withdrew her gaze and glanced at Yun Fenghuang. "I'm not feeling well, so I went in first... Your Majesty, I don't want to see anyone from the Yun family now, is that okay?"
The emperor shook her hand and said without looking back: "Send Mao Jieyu back to Lanzhou Yeyu Pavilion."
Then Wen Yan said to the imperial concubine, "I will accompany you in."
"Your Majesty, please come back?" Seeing this, Yan Yin signaled a small chamberlain in front of the emperor to accompany the emperor's imperial concubine inside. He coughed dryly, walked to Yun Fenghuang and whispered, "The imperial concubine is still sitting in the imperial concubine. Yuezi, if you have anything to say, I’ll talk to Your Majesty later, okay?”
Yun Fenghuang ignored it and stared at the backs of the emperor and the imperial concubine. After watching them walk in, the door slowly closed, and then stood up with a sneer: "I am not lucky enough to give birth to an emperor's heir. I will blame this or that, tsk." !”
Hearing this, the palace attendants in Luqintai dared to get angry but dared not speak out, while Yan Yin smiled bitterly: "Your Majesty, please!"
This Mrs. Mao Jieyu didn't follow the rules. Even though he was the imperial eunuch, he didn't dare to offend her easily. So he didn't say anything at this moment and just asked Yun Fenghuang to go back to Lanzhou Yeyu Pavilion.
Yun Fenghuang simply cursed and had no intention of continuing to cause trouble, so he left with a sullen face.
When she returned to Lanzhou Yeyu Pavilion, Yi Xingen had been waiting for a while. When he saw her coming in, he quickly stood up and saluted: "I was so happy when I heard that the empress has returned safely. I was going to come over immediately to say hello. But I heard from people below that I drank medicine and went to sleep just after I came back. I was afraid of disturbing you, so I delayed it until now... "
"It doesn't matter." Yun Fenghuang waved his hand nonchalantly. He looked at her and felt that she looked good, and nodded with satisfaction, "I heard that you are happy? It's really gratifying... Sit down. Since we are twins, of course everything will be treated as the emperor's. Succession is the most important thing.”
It doesn't matter if the child can't be born. If she is born, it will be raised for her. How can she not care about it
Yi Xingen sat down respectfully and thanked her for her kindness.
"Who served the honey ice? I wonder if Yi Yuwan has it? Why don't you bring some hot tea quickly?" Yun Fenghuang took a sip of the tea in front of him and saw a bowl of honey ice placed in front of Yi Xing'en. , even frowning, "By the way, Yu Wan will use this powder less in the future. Firstly, your color is good, but the real color is stained by the powder. Secondly, when I am at home, whenever my sisters-in-law are pregnant, my mother and grandmother They all stopped dressing up. After all, the emperor’s heir is very important, so he won’t miss these ten months, right?”
Although some people still paint their eyebrows and lips during pregnancy and there seems to be no problem with their subsequent children, but the same sentence still applies: forget it if the child cannot be born, it is Yi Xingen who suffers; if she is born, it will give her a child. Of course she would rather believe it or not. Anyway, it is not her who has stopped using makeup and can't dress up in the past ten months...
She said so, Yi Xingen opened her mouth and could only say: "Yes."
Seeing that she was obedient, Yun Fenghuang smiled slightly and asked Nianxuan: "Bring up the things just sent by the Empress Dowager and the three empress dowagers."
With the identities of these people, they wouldn't be too stingy in making a move, let alone a reward for saving someone's life. Several large boxes were brought up, and the silk and satin were so jeweled that everyone present was dazzled.
Even Yun Fenghuang admired it for a while, and then said to Yi Xingen: "You are a member of this palace, and now that you are pregnant, I cannot treat you badly. For the sake of the emperor's heir, makeup and powder are not allowed. It’s easy to use, but the clothing and jewelry are fine... This is my first visit to the palace, and I don’t have much in my hands now. Fortunately, this is something that the Empress Dowager and the others only rewarded, and now I have a selection for you, just take whatever you like!”
"Your Majesty, my humble body, how can I use these good things?" Yi Xing'en was very moved, and then refused wisely, "Thanks to your Majesty's mercy, I am lucky enough to be pregnant, and to be able to produce heirs for the royal family. I am overjoyed, if I receive such a generous reward from the Queen again, wouldn’t I be greedy?”
Despite repeated offers, she still didn't dare. Finally, Yun Fenghuang ordered her to pick out a batch of clothing materials and jewelry and forced her to accept it.
Therefore, Yi Xingen ignored the obstruction and insisted on kneeling on the ground: "If I can have such a master position as the empress, what else can I ask for in this life?"
Although he knew that these words may not be taken seriously, and even if they were sincere, they would only work now and it would be difficult to say in the future. However, the person in charge felt comfortable after listening to it. Yun Fenghuang asked Yi Xingen where he currently lives and learned that because Previously, he was the "culprit who caused His Majesty to fall off the cliff", and his body was taken out of the box to take advantage of it. Of course, the palace people were also unlucky - Yi Xing'en was very beautiful and was diagnosed with pregnancy, so her treatment was relatively good. , and was given a small, remote courtyard.
Qu Hongzhuan and several other concubines who had summer vacations were ostracized, but their accommodation was not as good as that of the eldest concubine in front of the principal.
Now that Yun Fenghuang was back, and the emperor personally certified that he had saved him, he couldn't just leave it alone, so he asked Xile to find the relevant stewards and have them brought over for resettlement.
There are three floors of Lanzhou Yeyu Pavilion on the left and right, and there are reverse seats at the back specially designed for palace residents. Even the concubines of Xuanqing Palace who are visiting the palace this time can fit in even if they are squeezed.
Now that he had brought the person over, Young Master Yun Fenghuang had no choice but to comfort him, and asked Nian Xuan to press his head and give him something to reassure him.
After being so busy, it soon came time to light the lamp - he ordered a banquet to be held in the main hall, and congratulated Yi Xingen with several concubines.
While it was busy, a message suddenly came from outside, saying that the emperor was coming!
"Get out of here!!!" The emperor came in quickly this time. Yun Fenghuang had not yet taken the lead to greet him. He had already strode across the threshold. After entering, he saw the room full of people. He raised his eyelids and shouted solemnly, " roll!"
"...I obey the decree." Although the concubines in the palace generally feared the emperor more than the concubines, Chunjia was extremely gentle and generous regardless of rumors about the palace ban or personal contact. This was the first time I saw him look so angry. They were all stunned, and then they stood up as if they were just waking up from a dream.
Photographed by Emperor Wei, they didn't dare to stay any longer, but they didn't know how their position had offended the emperor - they couldn't help but be worried and hesitant before leaving.
Seeing this, the emperor frowned and was about to have another attack. However, Yun Fenghuang slowly put down the golden jue in his hand and said with a chuckle: "It doesn't matter, you all just go down. If you haven't eaten well, I will let the small kitchen cook for you later." Send some porridge and noodles."
"Thank you, empress." A palace concubine boldly blessed her. Seeing that the emperor remained silent, everyone hurriedly thanked Yun Fenghuang and then filed out.
Xile and other palace attendants still wanted to dawdle, but Yun Fenghuang gave them a sidelong glance. Then they quickly followed the concubines and retreated, closing the door behind them.
