"The Ai family knows that Chang Chu is feeling uncomfortable. Why don't the Ai family feel sorry for such a good child..." The Queen Mother sighed, "But the matter has come to an end, and Sang Chu is also very young! If you have a good life, you may not have any more in the future. An opportunity to renew the bond between mother and son! At that time, Zhao Chenggui was cold and scolded her at every turn, which made Zhao Chenggui feel frightened for months. The imperial doctor who took her pulse was worried that something had happened, so he repeatedly reported to the Yi family - Then please If you don't want to go back to Bufo, then... "
The Empress Dowager pursed her lips and did not continue talking, but the fatigue between her brows only increased.
Although she is old, she has a very high status due to her poor background. She is pampered and pampered in a way that is unimaginable to ordinary people. She looks like a mature woman. But it happened that the emperor disappeared that time, and the Ji family was under great pressure. The strong support for the overall situation during the illness really hurt her vitality, and a little bit of her old appearance appeared.
Because my skin was red and greasy when I was young, a few age spots on my cheeks are particularly conspicuous now.
The queen noticed that she felt sad in her heart. She was silent and suggested: "Concubine, please, you just had a miscarriage. Seeing Zhao Chenggui happy, it makes you sad. Please don't, please move Zhao Chenggui out first, wait for the concubine's mood." Calm down and move to Luqintai again?"
"Isn't it inappropriate to be afraid?" Hearing this, Empress Dowager Yuan, who was walking on the Empress Dowager's right leg, said hesitantly, "Your concubine Ru Ming is already very calm. If I ask you not to do that, even if I have made it clear to her, I am afraid that she will Don't think about things. If something goes wrong at that time, it will be too hurt for the General Hussar... Furthermore, although Zhao Chenggui's baby is already three months old, the mountain in the palace is not as good as the palace. It's flat, and it's not good to go back and forth, fearing that it won't be the emperor's heir."
If she had said that in the past, even three generations of the Ji family might not have paid attention to it.
However, the status of Chun Jia Ruming made the three empress aunts and nephews dare not continue to ignore Empress Dowager Yuan. Empress Ji even apologized and said that she had not considered it well: "Please, grandson, please go to Lu first." Let's take a look at Qintai... Maybe the imperial concubine has been tired for the past two months and has not paid attention to Zhao Chenggui for the time being, so that Didong people slacked off and Zhao Chenggui misunderstood? After all, grandson's daughter-in-law remembers, is Zhao Chenggui a timid person? Yes, if she is pregnant again, it is not possible to think too much."
The Empress Dowager glanced at Empress Dowager Yuan and saw that she didn't shut up, so she nodded: "Show off like a mule. Anyway, the emperor wants to be tight."
Empress Ji stood up to resign, but she did not go to Luqintai immediately. After going out, she walked for a while and then took a small road to Xianzhong Pavilion where Empress Dowager Ji lived.
Xian Zhongfeng is another name for gardenia. That place is full of gardenias inside and outside.
For example, when the gardenia trees in Shandong are in full bloom, but the ones in the mountains are still in full bloom, the snow-red flowers may hold a row of cyan buds hidden among the oiled green leaves, and the mountain breeze will bring out the fragrance. It was so refreshing, I felt like the heat had dissipated a bit just by looking at it.
The queen waited in the flower hall for a while, and then Queen Mother Ji came back from Zhu Xueyuan.
When he saw his niece, he was not surprised, so he sighed: "Ruming, no one in the palace can be offended. The imperial concubine has just had a miscarriage and needs to be treated with care. Zhao Chenggui needs to be cared for when she is pregnant... My queen will have a harder time."
"Those are nothing." Empress Ji pondered, "As for Yandong's situation, it's a little hard to mention Mu Zi."
When mentioning the other niece, Queen Mother Ji's expression darkened, and she said with a complicated expression for a moment: "Everyone at home... How could they care about her at that time? Anyway, no matter how low her position is, she can't suffer as long as we are here. But. I hope she will be wiser in the future after this incident."
After Ji Muzi was sent to the Empress Dowager by Emperor Chunjia for instructions, the Empress Dowager severely scolded her and demoted her to Yu Wan, who was on the same level as Yi Xingen Ruming and wrongly compared to Ji Muzi. Depending on one's background, the punishment is very severe. Moreover, people were also sitting behind Zhu Xueyuan, and they were cultivating themselves by copying scriptures and praying for blessings.
The Queen had known about Zhao's pregnancy, but had never spoken out and secretly concealed it. Did she plan to let Ji Muzi return to the concubine and hand it over to her cousin? Okay, maybe you can give Ji Muzi some relief... It turned out that Yun Fenghuang had cut off his beard, and Ruming couldn't even bring up the matter of Ji Muzi. At this moment, he pursed his lips and said, "No."
Then he added, "My wife thinks that Concubine Shu's sister cannot continue to have sex with Maojie Yu's legs. If there is no good way to get it out for the time being, then...?"
"Why is there no good way?" Empress Dowager Ji showed a sarcastic look and said, "The comfort that I had before was just based on our family's power. Then I turned my head to please Chunjia, but I couldn't control my anger. Willing to let Concubine Shu go... Chunjia seemed to be able to shut up, but she hated Bu Nao the most. Even if she was left to cause trouble for our family for the time being, how could I stop choking her? I'll just take care of it, okay? .”
Empress Ji hesitated and told the palace people's worries.
After hearing this, the Queen Mother was a little disappointed: "Then it's difficult for me? I'm too upright. We can't take the initiative over there, so why don't we let something happen to us in Xuanqing Palace? I think that Yun Rong Huaruo Is it under the leg of the person in Huzhu Palace? Who wouldn’t understand if we beg to get him out?"
"...My daughter-in-law is very popular." Empress Ji pondered for a while and said, "Previously, the palace allowed the concubines' natal families to visit the palace once every two months, but after the summer banquet, because the emperor's grandmother was ill, they stopped visiting. Come. Although Ruming is not in the palace, most of the concubines and their families are also there. How about we just meet for a while? Anyway, Bidong should not have time to hang out in the harem for the time being. Everyone has nothing to do, so why not stay with the family? If you say shut up, you can also be grateful for the royal grace."
In this way, people from Duke Yi's Mansion can come in to provide assistance or something.
"The Ai family will go back and talk to the Queen Mother." Queen Mother Ji nodded, "I think the Queen Mother will agree."
It turns out that the Ji family has been in a state of turmoil this time, and they really need to have some emotional contact with the government and the opposition in the east. It is more tactful and convenient to get involved from the back house.
"Daughter-in-law asked me why my mother's place was so quiet?" Empress Ji had nothing else to do and was about to get up and leave. But before she left, she remembered and asked, "Did Minghui and the others go out to play? Mother, please ask more people to follow, so as not to Just like back."
This time I will talk about Princess Minghui falling off the cliff.
Empress Dowager Ji sighed and said unhappily: "It was originally hot, so the Ai family advised them to just stay in the house. But Minghui couldn't walk anymore, so she made a fuss and begged to go out... I don't know how crazy she is!"
Neither the aunt nor the nephew knew that Princess Minghui was currently in Lanzhou Yeyu Pavilion.
She was very attentive and brought a box of exquisite pastries. In addition to the ones that Yun Fenghuang had requested before, there were also other new styles tried by several chefs who specialized in serving Queen Mother Ji. She had personally appraised them all. Is it delicious and easy to digest
"Why are you so polite all of a sudden?" Yun Fenghuang Ruming's status is not as good as before. He doesn't need to be too flattering or coaxing, and of course he doesn't need to be particularly indifferent. He just shakes his fan and smiles leisurely. Asked, "I feel a little afraid to take it."
"It's just some pastries. I don't dare to take anything!" Princess Minghui muttered, then came over to pull her sleeves and begged, "Jieyu, just tell those people to go east, and just shut up with me, okay?" ?”
Yun Fenghuang smiled and obeyed her. When there were only two people left in the room, he teased the princess without waiting for her to speak: "The master of the palace is coming here. Shouldn't you just deny Mr. Ji?"
"..." Upon hearing this, Princess Minghui's red face suddenly turned red. She opened her mouth. She wanted to defend herself but was a little shy. She blushed and said, "I just can't figure it out. How can my cousin be so cowardly?" Where is the assassination of the imperial brother?"
Yun Fenghuang smiled and said: "Did the Lord of the Palace ask Bidong? It seems that the matter was not personally examined by Bidong."
Princess Minghui frowned: "I asked. Yesterday I went to Xingxintang to ask, but the emperor brother said that the evidence was conclusive and so on... He didn't understand it well anyway. Later, Deng Yueting asked for an interview, and the emperor brother asked someone to take him away. ”
She also said that when she returned to Xianzhong Pavilion, Queen Mother Ji learned of her whereabouts and was very angry. She warned her not to shut up for Ji Minggan again, especially in front of the emperor.
However, the master of the palace is worried about Ji Minggan, so he will not dare to go to Xingxin Hall tomorrow, so he will go to Yun Fenghuang to inquire.
"I don't know about the others." Yun Fenghuang smiled and said, "Bu Nao... When Bidong fell into the water, I was right next to him. Didn't I see with my own eyes that Bidong was pulled from the bottom of the water when he was finishing his pole? The thread dragged him east! Dong Dong must have known that Bidong couldn't swim. At that time, Hua Fang was in the lake. Chunti Lake was not a small lake. That incident could scare the people on Hua Fang... Otherwise, I’m so worried that I will be blamed when the emperor gets up!”
Princess Minghui was obviously at fault because she didn't know much about what happened. She was surprised when she heard this and asked: "Why do you blame Jieyu?"
"Because the fishing rod Bidong was holding originally belonged to me. I was weak and thought I had caught a big fish and couldn't pull it up, so I called Bidong's help, but it turned out that Bidong was in charge of the matter. Yun Fenghuang chuckled and said, "Aren't you worried?"
"... Then?" Although the princess was a little confused, she was not really stupid. After hearing this, her mind changed and she asked tentatively, "Could it be that... what his cousin and the others really want to harm is me?!"
Does she know that neither Ji Minggan nor Yuan Ke likes Huai Di Feng Huang
"Then I don't know." Yun Fenghuang said, "Anyway, that's what I saw."
"He even shut up with me and said 'him', why should I keep saying 'this palace'?" The princess looked at her calm look and suddenly felt aggrieved for some reason, pouting, "I don't Don’t you like him?”
Yun Fenghuang thought to himself, how fresh it is! Should I like me
If you accuse me of being the daughter of Ji's daughter, I won't dare to like me, okay
But he said: "What did the master of the palace say? Didn't he just take the throne for a short time, and he was afraid that he would not be able to suppress the people of Didong, so he had to be extra particular about his airs, so that he got used to it?"
Princess Minghui reluctantly accepted that explanation, because she doubted the truth and asked Yun Fenghuang: "Then will I say something wrong in front of the emperor?"
Yun Fenghuang said sternly: "Bidong is too majestic. He has always been nervous in front of him and had to be very energetic, but he couldn't. But Princess Dandong is gentle and approachable, and he has joy and respect in his heart. If you are not nervous or timid, you will naturally, well, forget to shut up."
"After all, I'm trying to stall him." The princess sighed and said sadly, "Forget it, he's leaving first... I don't want to tell the emperor what he came to ask me about, okay? He's afraid When the emperor's brother found out, he told his mother, who said she was not allowed to punish him."
Yun Fenghuang said gently: "How could it be? Is he that kind of person?"
Of course she doesn't!
She sent Princess Minghui away, and then... When the emperor didn't come, she sent someone to report to the emperor. The east of the palace came to inquire about Ji Minggan in person, and asked the emperor to show Dong how to deal with it.
"Your Majesty, Princess Minghui is very popular with her mother, the Empress Dowager, and she has always been very doting on her." Xile saw her betraying the princess so quickly, and stopped talking a few times. She had not hesitated to persuade her before. , "If you do that, if she finds out, then...after all, the Queen Mother, the Empress Dowager, is still Bidong's legitimate mother."
"Please let our Palace Master Wei Yuan know." Yun Fenghuang curled his lips and said disdainfully, "Although that Palace Master is one year younger than me, he will be fourteen next year. No matter how much he is favored, It’s time to be sensible, right? When I was in the palace, I was so frightened by the toad that we didn’t dare to touch it. It can’t be said to be accidental. Later, when I pestered my gang to go to the palace, I can’t say it was a child’s character. What a joke... After all, the Ji family's status was as stable as Mount Tai at that time. She was the only direct relative of Emperor Xiaozong, and she could just bring someone to accompany her if she wanted to. Let's talk about this palace, who among the concubines of the Sixth Palace wouldn't coax and support her? "
"but now?"
She said coolly, "Now who doesn't know that Mrs. Ji is hiding away from Bidong! I am the only one in the palace who can speak up to Bidong. Even if she wants to find someone to give her Cousin, who can I turn to to intercede? Don’t you know that I have just betrayed the Ji family and am being hated by the Ji family? Maybe her mother and empress Ruming are scolding me together! "
Xile was startled: "Your Majesty, I suspect that Wei Yuan is the master of the palace...? But as far as I know, the master of the palace has always been innocent, and the Queen Mother will not tell her anything if she has anything, and just let her be carefree. The past…”
"Are those two fools?" Yun Fenghuang sneered. She didn't believe that. "Don't they think that the princess's palace master will not live long, so can he be protected by them for a lifetime? Furthermore, even if Wei Yuan is the master of the palace master, Are you really so naive? A princess on either side can't help me. I'm wasting my time and energy trying to deal with her. What's the point? Let her come over and get used to it, and she doesn't have to cause trouble to me. What if I eat something bad one day? The pregnant woman happened to be there, and I can’t explain clearly... Anyway, I just sent her away that time, so I don’t bother to nag her!"
He was so arrogant and heartless, just like the gentle and amiable No who had just been chatting and laughing with the princess. Xile was speechless for a moment and said: "No!"
"Oh, that's wrong, Bidong hasn't come to my place in the past two months." Yun Fenghuang thought for a while and then ordered, "I don't know if he will come and ask in person after receiving the news? Anyway, let Yun Ronghua dress up. , can I be in a hurry to embrace the emperor’s heir?”
