Treacherous Living in the Imperial Harem

Chapter 196: Surprise...no, shock!

Chunjia just smiled and said, "Do you think Qi Jiulu will still be willing to pay attention to you in the future?"

"Your Majesty is good at teasing others." Yun Fenghuang thought about it for a moment, and felt that this foolish king was too treacherous to know what he was thinking, so he pushed him and said angrily, "If you don't come, you won't come."

Seeing the emperor smiling and letting her push him, she held her chin, moved closer, and asked in a low voice, "By the way, when I look at your majesty, I know that the empress dowager is a loving mother who is very good at teaching people. Why is it that Yue Jieyu is a loving mother just like your majesty?" The Queen Mother grew up in front of her, but?"

"Can educating a son be the same as educating a daughter?" Chunjia paused, and then said slowly, "You were able to be cultivated as a legitimate son by the family, in the final analysis, it was because of Qi Jiulu's light, but it's not that Mr. Xie really regarded you as a legitimate son. ... And you should also know that it is a good thing that your elders are willing to cultivate you, but you have to suffer a lot. Since I was four years old, rain or shine, I have classes every day from morning to night, and there is no time to rest. Even Every day is no exception!”

"These queens see it in their eyes and feel pain in their hearts, but I am not a legitimate son after all. If I am a pampered and idle child, why should the imperial court make an exception for Xu Chengjue?"

"And Mother Melia is a woman. As long as I marry the king, she will become the princess. She doesn't have to go through the trouble of practicing in the winter and practicing in the summer. The queen will naturally be more indulgent."

Yun Fenghuang said with a smile: "Your Majesty coaxed me to talk to you heart-to-heart. I said everything I could and couldn't say, but you hid it so tightly that you never told the truth!"

Why is the Queen Mother so considerate that she allows Yuan Nian Niang to grow up freely - these words are probably used to deceive little fools like Yuan Nian Niang, right

I remember what Mrs. Qi said at the time that heirs were unhappy. After all, Qi Jiulu still had two brothers from different mothers.

That's it. Whether it's the head of the Qi family or the elders of the Xie family, they have been saying every day since the marriage was agreed: "The Qi family is very small. When you get married, you and your wife will be responsible for such a big business." The two of you have to take care of each other, so you must not slack off in your homework! After all, there are many brothers and sisters in the family, and they can rely on each other. But you have to rely on yourselves... Just write these two big words a hundred times more!"

Chunjia is an only son!

There is not even an eldest sister who can get married, but there is a younger sister, Princess Kunze, who didn't even get married before his father passed away. She is just a drag and can't help at all.

As long as Empress Dowager Yuan didn't mean to harm him, how could she let the wife she hired for him to take care of him since she was a child and let him run away on a pampered and willful path, and be so ignorant and speechless even at the age of twenty

Yuan Yuniang's situation was fortunate that she followed Chunjia into the palace when he became emperor. Otherwise, even if she became Chunjia's first wife, it's hard to say whether there would be any good results - just look at the Huzhu Palace that she ran into a recognized wolf's den and tiger's den. This one is really unclear!

Although Empress Dowager Yuan is not Chunjia's biological mother, she has nothing to do with her. In terms of love, she single-handedly raised Chunjia. How could she not put in all her efforts in her cultivation over the years? In terms of benefits, her later life, including her family's future, all depended on Chunjia, and there was no way she could be disadvantageous to Chunjia.

Under such circumstances, why did she raise Yuan Yuniang to be a bad-tempered and narrow-minded person

Yun Fenghuang narrowed his eyes slightly, his smile deepened, and he said softly: "The Empress Dowager is indeed a loving mother!"

"..." Chunjia chuckled and said nothing. He only stretched out his hand to push her off of him, indicating that it was time to resettle her.

There was nothing to say all night. When she got up the next morning, the imperial concubine finished dressing and went out to the flower hall. She saw Yi Xing'en leading the way, and several concubines were driving away the palace people, busy preparing food.

The others just paid it back, but Yun Fenghuang couldn't see Yi Xing'en being so busy, and hurriedly scolded her to sit down: "You are a man of two bodies. His Majesty has not had a son and a half daughter so far, what else can you do?" The emperor's heir is more important? Don't be tired soon."

The emperor and Yun Fenghuang haven't sat down yet, so where can Yi Xing'en dare to sit down

Hearing this, he was busy and blessed, and said: "Thank you for your consideration, but I didn't do anything..."

"Anyway, you will be the one waiting here." Yun Fenghuang frowned and ignored the emperor. After he took the seat first, he watched Yi Xingen sit down on the embroidery stool that Nianxuan brought over. Then he felt relieved and called another palace. The concubine placed a few dishes in front of Yi Xingen, "When I was at home, my sisters-in-law had a special occasion, and my mother suggested eating these. Can you try it and see if it's still edible?"

Yi Xingen quickly thanked her, and of course she praised him without any words at the end.

That day's breakfast was mostly spent in Yun Fenghuang's greetings to Yi Xing'en. Chunjia watched leisurely from the side without interrupting or blocking. It was difficult for the several serving concubines not to reveal their feelings. They looked envious, and their eyes drifted towards the emperor unconsciously - after all, they couldn't get pregnant without the emperor, right

But in front of Yun Fenghuang, no one dared to seduce them secretly, they only hoped that the emperor would fall in love with them.

Reluctantly, Chunjia sat for a while and then left, saying that there were still political matters to deal with.

Yun Fenghuang had only been superficially affectionate towards him before but was disapproving of him in his heart. In the past two days, even his private meeting with Qi Jiulu was exposed, so it became even more unconcealed.

Hearing this, he didn't even turn his head, and said "Your Majesty, please go slowly", and continued to ask Yi Xing'en. If he didn't know what he was thinking, he thought she was Yi Xing'en's mother-in-law, and his eighth-generation son was already dead. The kind that leaves a posthumous child in the daughter-in-law's belly.

Yi Xingen was so concerned that she didn't dare to say a word. She was suffering. Fortunately, someone finally came in and interrupted: "Mother, Yun Ronghua is outside and said she has something to report."

"You can go back now. If you need anything, just send someone to tell me." Yun Fenghuang frowned slightly when he heard this, pondered for a moment, looked at Yi Xing'en, and said in a harmonious voice, "If there is anything wrong with you, just let me know." For us, the emperor's heir is the most important, so it doesn't matter if we make a mistake."

Yi Xingen respectfully resigned, and the palace attendants led Yun Qingman in.

The two concubines met at the door. Yi Xingen was of lower status, so she stepped aside to give way and was blessed.

Yun Qingman's eyes turned to her belly, and she whispered a word of excuse before stepping inside.

"Your Majesty." She said hello according to the rules. When Yun Fenghuang screamed, she said cautiously, "The Duke of Guo's Mansion sent someone to pass the message in, saying that someone from the Xie family in the North is here, and he will rest now. Uncle Eighteen and Aunt Eighteen are here to tell you that I will take them into the palace next time."

"...Who is here?" Yun Fenghuang was slightly startled. The last time the Xie family and the Lan family came into the palace, they said that because of the emperor's favor, Xie family would come to express gratitude, but the two places were so far apart that she thought she would have to come back It would take a while for the news to come out, but I didn't expect Xie to move so quickly, and here we are

At this moment, while asking, she considered her brothers and sister-in-law at home, and secretly thought about how to deal with her at that time - she really had nothing to worry about her brother and sister-in-law, so her mentality was very stable.

As a result, Yun Qingman pursed her lips and smiled, and said: "I heard that Mrs. Jiang is here in person, but I want to congratulate you on the reunion of flesh and blood!"

"What did you say?!" When Yun Fenghuang heard this, his whole body felt bad!

She confirmed in stunned silence, "You said... who is Mr. Xie here?!"

Yun Qingman only said that she was so surprised: "Mrs. Jiang came in person, and she was accompanied by two young ladies..."

Before she finished speaking, she saw Yun Fenghuang's expression of being struck by lightning. She was more shocked than happy. She didn't look like she was happy when she heard that her mother was here. She had doubts in her heart and subconsciously said it halfway through her words. Stopped.

"...I know it." Yun Fenghuang wailed in his heart. How could this mother come here in person? !

Isn’t she Xie’s actual tomb woman?

Although power has been handed over one after another since the nephew's daughter-in-law and daughter-in-law gradually came into the family, because there is no daughter-in-law in the next generation who has the ability to surpass her, even if the sisters-in-law join forces, she is still indispensable to provide guidance. Therefore, even if Jiang becomes a grandmother, she still has no time to spare.

Therefore, Yun Fenghuang never expected that Xie's relatives would include his mother.

She immediately felt guilty: Could it be that her attempt to blackmail the family was discovered by the Jiang family, and he came here specifically to deal with her? ?

Thinking of all those years of racking her brains to fight with her own mother only to be punished time and time again, Yun Fenghuang felt a headache - although with her current status, it would be impossible for Jiang to whip her around the room with a fly whisk. Yes, but…

I always feel uneasy.

"Do you know why Mrs. Jiang came here in person?" She calmed down and asked Yun Qingman, "Did something happen in Beidi?"

Yun Qingman couldn't tell what she was thinking at the moment, so she said cautiously: "The person who sent the message didn't mention it, maybe not? I think Mrs. Jiang misses the empress?"

Yun Fenghuang didn't think it was impossible to say that Mr. Jiang missed his daughter.

According to this mother's own thoughts, she definitely wanted to come and visit in person.

The problem is, Mr. Xie can't let him go easily...

She thought about it for a while, thanked Yun Qingman, waved her hand to leave, then called Nianxuan to her side and told her the news.

Nian Xuan was extremely pleasantly surprised: "Madam, is she here? This is really great!"

"When Madam and the others come to the palace for a visit, do you know what to say to Madam's maid?" Yun Fenghuang pinched his forehead and asked absentmindedly.

Nian Xuan said blankly: "Of course it's my experience these days..."

"Of course I have to talk about these." Yun Fenghuang interrupted her and whispered, "But what's more important is to tell us more about the three years we have been in the Imperial Capital and the hardships we have experienced since entering the palace! Especially since I have just entered the palace. Huzhu Palace was targeted by Yue Jieyu, she was forced to dive to make a living by Shalu Pavilion, the summer banquet was inexplicably detained on the island for many days, and there were also the living in the wilderness and the fire in the previous days... Anyway, how miserable can you say it is? !”

"Mrs. must say that she feels distressed—the kind that makes her cry until she can't even speak!"

Don't worry about your mother's reason for coming here. Anyway, as your biological daughter, you won't lose anything if you try the trick first!

After all, he had a guilty conscience. After Yun Fenghuang warned Nianxuan, Chunjia came over again that night, and she pestered him and proposed to summon her mother-in-law's family into the palace: "Although it's not the right time, my mother came all the way here. , I am staying with my aunt at the moment, and I don’t know how tormented I am... just talking, for half a day at most, without delaying anything, okay?"

If we meet in advance, we might be able to disrupt Jiang's plan and gain the initiative...

Chunjia smiled and said: "How many days has it been since the imperial edict I praised was issued? Your family acted quickly."

"Since I am devoted to Your Majesty, I will naturally be extra attentive to you." Yun Fenghuang hugged his arm and acted coquettishly, "Your Majesty agreed to my concubine!"

"Go and discuss these matters with the queen yourself." The emperor let her get tired of it for a while, then said with a smile, "I never ask questions. This is all the queen's decision."

Yun Fenghuang leaned in his arms and asked, "Then your Majesty won't object?"

Chunjia glanced at her and asked, "What do you think, my beloved concubine?"

Yun Fenghuang then climbed up and sat up, kissed him on the cheek, and said with a smile: "Your Majesty likes me so much, how can you refuse me, right?"

So the next day she went to the Empress and told Empress Ji: "Your Majesty has agreed to take me as concubine and summon the elders of the family for a meeting, and please ask the Empress to arrange it!"
