After a while, the Xie family, the Lan family, and the Xiao Chen family were called back to the main hall. They saw that the mother and daughter had redressed, especially Yun Fenghuang's cheeks, which were clearly blushed and covered with thick powder, but they didn't care. After all, We haven’t seen each other for many years, and we met under such circumstances. It was natural to hold each other’s hands and cry.
Yun Fenghuang originally wanted to let them have a casual meal, but Jiang said she was afraid that if she stayed too long, the palace would be displeased. She said so, so of course the Xie clan, the Lan clan, and the Xiao Chen clan nodded.
Otherwise, Yun Fenghuang would have to get up and see them off.
She wanted to send them to the gate of the palace, but Jiang refused firmly and asked her to watch them go away at the gate of Lanzhou Yeyu Pavilion: "It's not that Dongci can't be seen anymore. The palace is not like home, and you are not allowed to be willful. .”
For the sake of her daughter, Mrs. Jiang really wanted to keep a low profile. It turned out that she left Lanzhou Yeyu Pavilion and was led not far by Chen Zhu, but she bumped into the emperor.
"Are they Mao Zhaoyi's family?" Chunjia didn't know them, but looking at the first wife, Mrs. Xie, who was wearing the clothes of a foreign wife, and the bright moon was not a confinement for the palace concubine to reunite with her family, she could have guessed.
He asked the emperor's chariot to stop temporarily, and calmly asked the few people who were keeping salutes by the road to get up, "Madams, there is no need to be polite."
Mr. Xie said he didn't dare.
The emperor looked at the group of female relatives with great interest. A group of people was headed by Ms. Xie, maybe because she had an imperial title, but Ms. Xie looked very nervous, lowered her head, and did not dare to breathe. Is this a normal thing? After all, we are facing the wrong emperor.
Although she was half a step behind Yun Fenghuang's mother in age, although her eyebrows were lowered and her posture was respectful, her shoulders and back were straight, which meant she was neither humble nor overbearing.
Due to the differences between men and women, Chunjia exchanged greetings with them and then drove away.
He was originally going to other places on this trip, but at that time, the imperial chariot landed directly in front of Lanzhou Yeyu Pavilion.
Inside, Yun Fenghuang had just put on makeup and asked Nianxuan to give him medicine. When he heard that he was coming, he was very annoyed. Nianxuan said, "I'll go tell him that he just met with his family and he's not feeling well." Well, let Yun Ronghua serve him."
It turned out that when Dongren came to convey the message, the emperor had already walked in with his heels in. He just listened to the rejection and smiled: "Family and flesh and blood are reunited, how can you feel bad?"
"We only got together for a short while." Yun Fenghuang was startled when he heard this, and then curled his lips and said, "I can't even save a meal..."
When she shut up, the emperor had already walked up to her, and saw the clear finger marks on the cheeks of the concubine who had taken off her makeup. He couldn't help but be startled, waved his legs to ask Nian Xuan and others to retreat, and said with a smile: "Why are you moving your legs? I What did you do to annoy your mother-in-law?"
"..." Yun Fenghuang didn't pay attention when he shut up with him. At this moment, he felt a little embarrassed when he heard the words. He didn't answer, so he asked, "Don't your Majesty go away for government affairs? Why did you come here at that time?"
Chunjia smiled and said, "I originally wanted to see the imperial concubine. On the way, I met your father and the others leaving the palace. I knew that Kongdong was here, so I came over for a walk."
Yun Fenghuang said sternly: "The imperial concubine has been crying since she had a miscarriage. It took two months for her to get better. When you need Bidong's care, I don't dare to delay Bidong. I would like to ask Bidong to go to Lu." Just go to Qintai!"
He also said, "What is the name of the pregnant concubine over there? Although her position is not high, she is pregnant with the emperor's heir. Your Majesty should also take a look, so as not to make the concubine feel uneasy and worry all the time. , it’s not good to be the wrong emperor’s heir.”
Chunjia teased her and said, "Isn't my concubine Yi Gong there pregnant?"
"As for my concubine, let someone send her to serve you." Yun Fenghuang immediately called out to Nianxuan, eager to send Chunjia away. It can be said that his intention was very obvious.
Chunjia laughed and said, "That's all, I'll go to Luqin Terrace later, so I won't ask Yi Yuwan to do any work."
He originally wanted to continue teasing Yun Fenghuang, but looking at her look, he couldn't help but become angry and fall out with him - that would be fine, the emperor was not afraid of her.
Is it just as Jiang said, Yun Fenghuang is young, only fifteen years old, and his eyebrows are still childish. At that time, he was clearly beaten by his mother, Dong Zhong, and he looked dejected and looked around. He looked a bit pitiful. .
The emperor was not a mean person, but he felt a little soft-hearted. After all, he did not insist on leaving Dong to expose her scars. He got up and went to Luqintai.
After he left, Nianxuan quietly said to Yun Fenghuang: "You have done such a wrong to Your Majesty. If you tell Madam later and find out, you will most likely be angry again."
"Otherwise? Tell him exactly how your mother beat him?" Yun Fenghuang fiddled with the makeup in front of him listlessly, and said depressedly, "He is really bored. He just goes to see the imperial concubine. What are you doing here?"
As he spoke, he threw the ivory engraved green luan, climbing branches and curly grass pattern box with the lipstick in his leg into the box, and said angrily, "Let's see if he came over to see his joke on purpose!"
Nian Xuan advised: "Bidong doesn't necessarily know that Madam can move her legs! Let me see, I guess it happened by chance. That's okay. Anyway, Bidong is not a talkative person, and he won't go out and shut up. Yes. Furthermore, Madam has told you to go to Queen Mother Yuan to admit your mistake later so that you can clear up the past feud with Queen Mother Yuan and Bidong... Then the two of them saw the traces of Madam moving her legs and knew better. Madam, teach your daughter to be strict, do you know that you can correct your mistakes?"
It doesn't make sense, but Yun Fenghuang is still confused: "He doesn't want to go..."
Although she had been pampered since she was a child, because Jiang was very strict with her when she was disciplining her, she would not be able to let go of people of a different stature at all - otherwise she would not have been able to coax Empress Ji before - and if she had just separated from Jiang, someone would hurt her. My pretentiousness has not subsided, and I was very reluctant to be a low-key child at that time.
"Why don't you go?" When Yun Fenghuang and Jiang were alone before, Qingdu also pulled Nianxuan and warned her for a long time. At that time, Nianxuan recalled Qingdu's teachings and whispered. Advise her, "You want my wife to leave the palace at that time, but you don't want to go back immediately. I really want to see you again after a few months! If you know that you didn't do what she said, don't ask for it." angry?"
He also said, "Madam is usually very busy at home. Is it because I feel sorry for you when I come all the way... You should coax her and let her go back to the North with peace of mind. When Madam is no longer in the Imperial Capital, then She doesn’t know what you’re going to do, right?”
"..." Yun Fenghuang listened with a gloomy face, and after a long while, he said feebly, "Then, I'll have someone go to the Fangyin Pavilion to ask quietly, will the Empress Dowager have time to see him at that time?"
In the Fangyin Pavilion, the loving empress dowager Yuan was playing chess with Zhan Liudong. When someone reported that the newly promoted Zhaoyi wanted to come over, she couldn't help frowning and asked Zhan Liu first: "During those two months...?"
"It's nothing!" Zhan Liu said, "My servant is watching it personally. Jue Cui has never gone out, let alone what Lanzhou Yeyu Pavilion is doing."
"Then what did Xiao Yun do here?" Empress Dowager Yuan pondered, "Is it possible that Madam Melia didn't go to recruit her? What method did she find to seduce Madam Melia?"
Zhanliu thought about Dong and said, "Your Majesty, I remember that someone from Mao Zhaoyi's mother's family will come tomorrow. It's the grace granted by Dong Bi. Isn't it possible that you will come to express your gratitude at that time?"
Empress Dowager Yuan said: "If you ask for thanks, it has nothing to do with the Ai family. Please thank the emperor for allowing her; please thank the empress for worrying about her. What does the Ai family have to do with an old woman who lives in the countryside?"
Bu Nao refused to let the Didong people go, "Tell her he's free there, and she can come if she wants."
After all, Zhaoyi's status was high and she was a newcomer, so Empress Dowager Yuan always wanted to give her some face.
