Two days later, in Lanzhou Yeyu Pavilion, Yun Fenghuang looked at the eight people in front of him and felt very satisfied.
My mother still loves me.
Jiang brought two of the first-class maids from the Qing generation with him this time, but the Qing people and the Qing Dynasty both sent them in. He also gave four second-class maids who were candidates for the Qing generation, each named Hong. Calyx, Dancalyx, Chicalyx and Zhucalyx; in addition, there are two mothers, Jiang Lai and Xie Hengyu, who are the people she urgently needs here. This battle basically wiped out all the people Jiang brought with him this time. .
"Due to the hasty departure, Madam traveled lightly, and there were not many people around her." The Qing man also explained, "Moreover, Madam feels that we have been in the north all the time, and we don't know much about the situation in the palace. The empress needs to complement the attendants. , we should also use people who have been serving in the palace for a long time, who understand some taboos, and can also take care of maids... If the empress feels that there is anything lacking, she will send it out in the future, and the family will think of something else."
He added, "Because the Thirteenth Young Master and the others came to the Imperial Capital to take the exam, even if Madam will go back to the Northland, the Thirteenth Young Madam will definitely stay."
Yun Fenghuang nodded: "Everyone listens to mother."
She is familiar with these eight people, such as Jiang Lai and Xie Hengyu, one is a son of the Jiang family and the other is a son of the Xie family. They all watched her, the legitimate young lady, grow up. Qingdu, a native of the Qing Dynasty, even saw each other more often than several of his brothers. The only ones who are a little distant are the four red calyx, red calyx, red calyx, and red calyx, but they are still familiar.
I was used to calling them names like this, so I didn’t bother to change them. After a short exchange of greetings, I got down to business: "Everything else in this palace is fine. Although the two attendants specially assigned by the Queen have been in trouble one after another, they are quite in a hurry. After all, I managed to cope with it. It was Yi Yuwan, who was pregnant with the emperor's heir. However, I and she were both young and didn't know much. These days, I just listened to the imperial doctor and recalled how my mother-in-law used to be considerate to her sisters-in-law. But the two mothers have to pay more attention to it.”
Jiang Lai and Xie Hengyu said in unison that it was their own business. After a short discussion, they decided to let Jiang Lai go to wait for Yi Xing'en and take care of the concubine who gave birth to her young lady.
Xie Hengyu stayed with Yun Fenghuang to provide advice.
As for the others, the people of the Qing Dynasty, Qingdu, naturally made up for the vacancy of Xile and Xijing. They also promoted two young palace maids who were clever and knew how to do things, and renamed them Qingxu and Qinghan, filling the quota of the four senior palace maids.
As for Liu Hong and Nian Xuan, who were originally leading the palace maids, they asked Jiang Lai and Xie Hengyu to divide them up one by one. In fact, Yun Fenghuang had long thought that these two people were not suitable to be servants. Nian Xuan would not say that because he was more than loyal. Although he lacks ability, but knows pharmacology and some basic medical skills, he is most suitable to help Jiang Lai, the mother who wants to serve Yi Xingen.
As for Liu Hong, it was quite a coincidence that this person came to Yun Fenghuang. Yun Fenghuang was not sure whether she had any relationship with the Imperial City Division or how much relationship she had. But looking at his behavior, I can only say that he is quite satisfactory. He was a taciturn person, and even if he was promoted to a valet, he still had little intention of actively getting closer to his master.
Regardless of whether this was due to her personality or her subjective unwillingness to get close to Yun Fenghuang, Yun Fenghuang would not have tolerated her any longer if he had not found a better candidate.
Now that she has received sponsorship from her mother's family, she can't just drive people away. After all, the people who helped her in Xiao Penglai also used this banner to ask for people from the queen. As a result, her parents-in-law just sent someone to the palace, and then they made her a first-class palace maid without a good arrangement, which seemed too mean and unkind.
Therefore, Xie Hengyu was asked to take her with her, firstly for the convenience of surveillance; secondly, this was the mother who came with Yun Fenghuang's mother-in-law, and she was the only person who had come to Huaqing Palace so far. In the future, she would definitely have to serve pregnant concubines and then take care of the emperor's heirs. of. Liuhong helped her, saying that she would be able to be the emperor's heir in the future. This could not mean that Yun Fenghuang was not good to her.
With this personnel change, Lanzhou Yeyu Pavilion had to be busy for a few days - after all, although Qingdu and others were capable, they had been working in a wealthy and peaceful family like the Xie family, and the highest-ranking person they came into contact with was Xie. Just a clan. Now that I suddenly entered the palace, I had to learn and adapt a lot. I also had to interact with Chen Zhu and other palace attendants to understand the specific situation of Xuanqing Palace...
Even though Yun Fenghuang had enough prestige in front of Chen Zhu and others, no matter whether they wanted to or not, they did not dare to go against the new confidants. They cooperated with each other, and it took seven or eight days for Lan Zhou to There is something different inside and outside Yeyu Pavilion.
At this time, Queen Mother Ji came back with the people who went to Shanyuan Temple to pray.
According to the rules, when the Queen Mother comes in and out, the concubines who had previously stayed at the palace should go to the palace gate to greet her.
However, when Yun Fenghuang heard that the Queen Mother was coming back, she was about to pick out a dress and a dress, so Queen Ji sent someone to tell her that she didn't have to go.
The reason was that Empress Dowager Ji was tired from traveling, so the chariot did not stop at the door and went directly back to her residence, so she did not need to pay greetings to everyone.
It was strange that Yun Fenghuang would believe this. She dismissed the little maid in front of the queen with a kind face, turned around and said to Qingdu Qingren: "I'm afraid something went wrong with this prayer."
Qingren pursed his lips and smiled: "I heard from Mr. Chen that the concubines of Yuzhen Palace and Ranxiang Palace had a quarrel before departure. Even if six people stood out and followed...it can be rioting in the palace, but it can also be done in the palace. The Taoist temple is in trouble. But my maid is a little puzzled. I heard that the three generations of Phoenix Masters of the Ji family are not soft-tempered. With the status of the Queen Mother, is it possible that she can't suppress a few concubines? "
"Maybe it's not the palace concubines, but the quarrel between the concubines?" Qingdu guessed, "Mrs. Yaoning doesn't seem to have a good temper?"
Yun Fenghuang shook his fan and smiled: "Gu Zhen is indeed not a good-tempered person, but he is not unreasonable... Jia Jieyu, Lu Jieyu, and Wei Jieyu, these three, did not dare to provoke her without any specific reason. Forget it, let’s guess here, why not ask people to inquire, after all, there are so many people coming back, maybe there will be news."
As a result, Chen Zhu was ordered to go out for a ride and actually found out!
And if they hadn't found out, Yun Fenghuang's master and servant would never have guessed that Princess Jinyun was getting engaged to Ji Minggan!
Empress Dowager Ji's public statement was that they were in love with each other. The childhood sweethearts went back to Shanyuan Temple and asked the temple owner to predict the princess's marriage. Ji Minggan happened to agree, and the princess was also willing, so the engagement was a natural matter.
But Chen Zhu whispered: "The people who went to pray privately revealed that this was all a pretense. It was because Her Royal Highness the Princess went out to play and stayed out all night. When she was found, she was with Ji Minggan, alone... The Queen Mother was so angry that she fell ill directly in Shanyuan Temple. To protect the princess' reputation, she forced herself to come back on time."
"This happened!" Yun Fenghuang was greatly surprised. Although she had known before, the relationship between Minghui, Jinyun and Ji Minggan was quite awkward. Minghui loved Ji Minggan wholeheartedly, but Ji Minggan judged people by their appearance. Ji Minggan is not very interested in her direct cousin Minghui, and prefers teasing the beautiful Princess Jinyun; Princess Jinyun is not indifferent to Ji Minggan's teasing, but although she is not as old as Yun Fenghuang, she has been in the palace for a long time. She is not stupid, knowing that even though she grew up in front of Queen Mother Ji, she cannot compare with Ming Hui, her own daughter.
Anyway, from Yun Fenghuang's point of view, even if Princess Jinyun likes Ji Minggan, she won't do anything until Princess Minghui and her daughter clearly give up on Ji Minggan.
Even when Ji Minggan approached her, she would deliberately avoid him so as not to displease her aunt.
How could something like this happen now
The most important thing is that Ji Minggan was imprisoned together with Xing Ningbo's nephew Yuan Ke because of his thorough investigation of the "assassination" after the emperor fell into the water. Although he was later released due to the pleading of the two elders and the emperor's consideration, But he was immediately taken back to the imperial capital by Marquis Haixi to reflect behind closed doors... Why did he suddenly appear in Qishan without saying anything, and spend the night with the princess
Yun Fenghuang thought for a while and asked Chen Zhu, "Do you know how Princess Minghui is doing now?"
"I haven't shown up yet. I said I fell ill due to the cold wind while praying at the Taoist temple, so I am recuperating." Chen Zhu said with a subtle expression, "She fell ill the morning after the incident between Princess Jinyun and Ji Minggan came out."
What a coincidence.
The master and servant exchanged tacit glances, and Yun Fenghuang sighed without sincerity: "Poor Princess."
In fact, Yun Fenghuang said, from the princess's point of view, no matter which princess she is, what is the benefit of marrying Ji Minggan
Not to mention that the Ji family is now in decline, even when the sun is at its peak, the emperor is still trembling, let alone the princess? After marrying, let alone showing off the money, it would be nice not to be pressured by the Ji family - especially as Ji Minggan is the youngest son, judging from Yun Fenghuang's several contacts with him, this is a person who is held in high esteem. The boss doesn't know how to be considerate at all.
This can be seen from the fact that he repeatedly disliked Princess Minghui in public, and he had no respect for the imperial power in his heart.
In his eyes, Xiaozong's flesh and blood were not worthy of awe, but he himself needed to be free to go his own way and would not tolerate others disobeying him at all.
Otherwise, would Queen Mother Ji, the biological mother, have fulfilled her biological daughter’s wish
Although I don't know why Princess Jinyun and Ji Minggan got their wish... anyway, in Yun Fenghuang's view, this is a good thing for Princess Minghui.
Of course, Princess Minghui may not think so, so Yun Fenghuang just doesn't care.
This is not her daughter, no matter how much she cries and screams, she doesn't feel sorry for her.
If this were her daughter, she would have imitated Jiang's big-eared scraper and slapped her. There are many young talents in the government and the public, but are they as blind as you
However, after the emperor came that day, Yun Fenghuang still brought up the old matter: "Your Majesty said at the beginning that he did not want His Royal Highness Princess Minghui to descend to Ji Minggan. Now the matter is settled! Should I congratulate Your Majesty?"
"Ji Minggan has great talent but poor conduct." Chunjia heard this, smiled slightly, with the usual gentleness on his face, but his tone was cold, and said, "How can I be a princess with such virtue?"
Yun Fenghuang was startled and said: "But the news has spread throughout the palace..."
"I just ordered people to kill the palace servants who slandered the princess's reputation." Chunjia waved his hand casually, "My beloved concubine has always been smart, but don't let mere rumors confuse her."
"...Yes." Yun Fenghuang thought to himself. She didn't know what Empress Dowager Ji's face looked like at this moment. Well, in this case, could it be that Empress Dowager Ji deliberately matched Princess Jinyun to Ji Minggan
But why did the Queen Mother do this
Could it be that she couldn't resist Princess Minghui's unrepentant plea
She was distracted for a moment, and suddenly heard Chunjia say: "But Minghui and the others are so old, it's really time to get married. It was also my negligence as an elder brother. When I saw my mother, they didn't mention it, so they didn't say anything." Just thinking about it, the traitor is thinking about me... Does the unknown concubine have any suggestions?"
I
Yun Fenghuang was stunned, should I suggest a prince-in-law to the princesses
Your Majesty, are you afraid that you have some misunderstanding about me
I have been in the imperial capital for three years. If I am qualified enough to know the noble children who are worthy of my Lord, why do I need to take the initiative to please a concubine from the Duke's palace? ?
Ah, wait…
The words of refusal came to her lips when she suddenly thought of something!
