"Although the Fangyin Pavilion and the Xingxin Hall are not very far apart, they are not close to each other. There are pavilions, pavilions, mountains and rivers in the middle. Palace guests who come to the palace only rarely may have to go there. "In Lanzhou Yeyu Pavilion, Wei Hengyan shook his fan and said to Yun Fenghuang with a smile, "Is our Yuan Cairen really destined to be the same as Bidong?"
Yun Fenghuang said lazily: "I'm not sure whether the Yuan sisters are destined to reunite in the palace?"
"But I'm afraid that such a fate will be a bad fate." Wei Hengyan covered his mouth with a fan, smiled, and said sweetly, "Sister, you have devoted yourself to taking care of Yi Yuwan without leaving home. I'm afraid it will be very uncomfortable." You know: Yuan Cairen came here that day, and since the Empress didn’t ask anyone to clean up the Cuiyin Courtyard, why not stay with Yue Jieyu in the Fangyin Pavilion, and follow her loving mother the Empress Dowager first?"
"It turns out they are Yuan's daughters, or cousins. We haven't seen each other for many years, and we just happen to serve the Queen Mother together and catch up on family affairs. How nice is it? Guess what?"
"Then I'm trying to get along with you?" Yun Fenghuang said calmly, flicking the foam in the tea bowl in front of him, "As for the name of our Yue Jieyu, everyone who has not entered the palace has heard about it. She is very disgraceful. What to do?"
Wei Hengyan said with a smile: "Did sister guess wrong that time? Yue Jieyu was right in everything and Yuan Cairen did it!"
Yun Fenghuang was really surprised that time: "She actually held back?"
"More than holding back!" Wei Hengyan said vividly, "She did something wrong by herself: She walked the stone steps in the yard all morning, and she was indifferent even though she knelt on her left and right to persuade her! "
"What about the Empress Dowager?" Yun Fenghuang groaned, "If she is pregnant, wouldn't we force the Empress Dowager to persuade her in person?"
Wei Hengyan said: "The empress dowager, a loving mother, has always been indulged by her. When she received the news, she had already fallen asleep. She forced herself to get up with her sick body. But she put a hairpin against her throat and said that if the empress dowager would step into the courtyard, she would She just went there! How could the Queen Mother be willing to bear it? She just ate the night dew and tried hard to persuade her outside the door... In the end, Bidong received the news and rushed over from his sister, coaxing the Queen Mother to go back to the house to settle down! "
Yun Fenghuang smiled and said: "I said that Yongxuan didn't hear anything about it. Why do I know so well? She also bothered me!"
"This is a matter of concern for the loving mother, the Empress Dowager, and the emperor's heir. How can we say anything to disturb you?" Although Wei Hengyan was a little cautious, she was a serious lady and had important matters at hand, but she was not confused. Hearing this, she said seriously, "Sister, no Seeing Bi Dong walking in a hurry, I felt worried, so I inquired about Dong afterwards. Fortunately, my loving mother, the Empress Dowager, was safe. Although Yue Jieyu insisted on walking in the yard all morning, maybe her body and bones were strong, and she would be there the next month. It's fine but nothing serious."
"Is her body weak enough to be the best in that palace?" Yun Fenghuang muttered, "Otherwise, I don't think there is anyone else in the palace who would be so troubled by being pregnant? As for Yi Yuwan, he is No matter how careful you are, you may make a mistake!"
Speaking of Yi Xing'en, Wei Hengyan couldn't hide his envy: "My sister's legs are good-looking and her belly is good. Unlike my sister, there are many people in the palace who serve Bidong all the time." I’ve tried it several times, but there’s been no movement at all.”
"Since I call him sister, we are not the same batch of people who entered the palace. He also said a few words of respect to me." Yun Feng Huang Ru Ming's servants all changed their confidants. At that time, they were shut up in their own territory. He was more casual and said, "Is he unable to give birth on his own, so he is trying every means to recommend people in the palace to favor him? If he gives birth to the emperor's heir in his name, he will have someone to rely on when he gets old and loses his luster in the future. But I If you don’t deny him, why should you expect someone in the palace to give birth to a biological child?"
In fact, Wei Hengyan didn't think so. Hearing this, he said shyly: "Your Majesty goes to my sister's place a lot of times. Now, another Yuan Cairen has arrived... My sister heard that Yuan Cairen is not a happy person." Jieyu's cousin, her personality and personality are completely different from Yue Jieyu's, but she is a very gentle and considerate person."
One is a legitimate daughter, the other is a concubine; the other is the head of the family and an earl, who has chosen the vassal king as his fiancée, and is raised by the concubine and aunt herself. One of them entered the palace at that time, and no one outside knew about the Yuan family. It's strange that such a girl... has the same temperament.
Yun Fenghuang was slightly stunned and said: "Then what's going on with Yuan Cairen? The concubine in the East Palace may be very confused. Who among us concubines has no idea? Is it possible that Yue Jieyu is becoming more and more unsightly? Xing Ningbo Mansion I was worried in my heart, so I took the route of the Empress Dowager and inserted a sensible person in to serve the Empress Dowager on her behalf, so as to prevent the Empress Dowager from straying far away from her natal family because of her love for Jieyu."
"But Your Majesty is willing to agree, just because of the dignity of the empress dowager, the loving mother."
"Let's see. I will probably call my loving mother the Queen Mother a few times in the next few months to do facials for her. Looking back, whether I will go to Cuiyin Courtyard or not is a question!"
Wei Hengyan came over tomorrow and wanted to inquire about the news. After all, since Yun Fenghuang went to the Fangyin Pavilion to take off her hairpin to plead guilty, it was rumored that the Empress Dowager Yuan admired her for knowing her mistakes and correcting them. As for the matters related to the Yuan family, Mao Zhao must have Yi also knows better than others.
At this moment, he looked happy when he heard this and said: "Seriously?"
"If you don't believe me, just watch." Yun Fenghuang chuckled and said, "Does the empress dowager, a loving mother, really care about the emperor? How can she just deny the Xing Ningbo Mansion and force the emperor to go to Yuan Yuniang? Besides, Yue Jieyu No matter how much she fools around, she is still pregnant, which makes her so angry and endangers the emperor's heir. Of course, if Yuan Cairen has the ability to win over the emperor to linger in Cuiyin Court, then it will be another matter. ”
In fact, it shouldn't be possible.
That's not because Yun Fenghuang looked down on Yuan Yuniang's charm. After all, she had never met Yuan Cairen before. She had heard that she was a docile and beautiful girl who looked very well-behaved. She was not the kind of elder who She will have a preconceived idea and a favorable impression after seeing it - as for what it is actually like, how does she know
From Emperor Chunjia's point of view, he had favored Yuan Niang in the past eight years and had already established an image of being devoted to his old love.
At that time, he was in charge of the government, and it would be inappropriate for him to pamper a talented person from the Yuan family in all possible ways.
Because when he misunderstood Yuan Niang for being infinitely tolerant, he was not a puppet. If he tried to sidestep Yuan Niang at that time, it would give people the impression that the emperor had no bottom line and was soft-hearted. He would not give up on Yuan Niang just because the Yuan family could not help him at that time, nor would he kneel down and lick Empress Ji and Ji Muzi just because the Ji family was powerful at the time.
Therefore, as a puppet, he did not indulge in drunkenness and sex, and did not want to make progress to facilitate the powerful ministers to ruin his reputation. Although he was so reassuring, his kind-hearted and weak-legged appearance also made Ji and his like think: Well, then A woman's benevolence probably won't accomplish anything big. Taking ten thousand steps back, even if she falls into his lap after the moon, she probably won't be able to accomplish anything...
Since then, he has begun to deal with government affairs. If he is not so obviously partial to Yuan's concubines, it will be very unfavorable for him to win over other people.
After all, it is understandable that the emperor favored the concubines who were born in the Duke of Yi State, because the Duke of Yi State was really loyal to the emperor, and was also an indispensable help to the emperor in the temple.
Yun Zhao's loyalty and powerful position are very impressive, enough to make people admit that Yun's daughter deserves special treatment.
However, the Ningbo Mansion was in no shape to be revitalized, and Yuan Yuniang ruined the reputation of the Yuan family's daughter in the previous harem. The emperor wanted to favor the Yuan family's daughter, even if the Yuan family's daughter who came in now was not willing to do that. It is also difficult to convince the public. It will make people suspect that the emperor abolished public affairs for personal reasons and acted wisely.
This mistake was very fatal for Emperor Chunjia, who had just begun to gain the upper hand, his position was not yet stable, and he had a powerful enemy like the regent who was looking for his life.
After all, if he is the main character, he is young, powerful, wise and mighty...
No matter how bad Yuan Yuniang is, she has actually been with the emperor for so many years, but he can still be used as a chess piece calmly, let alone Yuan Yuniang who just came
Yun Fenghuang therefore asked Wei Hengyan to dress up with peace of mind and wait for the emperor's visit: based on the current situation, the emperor could only stay in Cuiyin Court for two or three months at most, and would continue to stay in Luqintai and Lanzhou. Walking between Yeyu Pavilion and Wei Hengyan's Dan Ruoting.
Who knows that there are only a few high-ranking concubines in the harem now. The Ji family has lost the Sacred Heart. The emperor basically doesn't go to the queen's place for free. Although the imperial concubine is not favored by the emperor, she had a miscarriage not long ago and ended up with a pregnant woman. The emperor was very considerate of Zhao Chenggui, who was pregnant, so he always asked to visit her every few months.
And Mrs. Yaoning, Lu Jieyu and Jia Jieyu are all old people who entered the palace during their wedding, and their status in the eyes of the emperor was not ordinary. When selecting girls to enter the palace before, the most outstanding ones were not selected under their legs. In the east, the emperor would like to pay a visit in a month or so - to give the regent some face, Mrs. Yaoning would be there once or twice, but Gu Zhen has such a crooked character that the emperor seems gentle. In fact, it was not easy to get close to each other. Both parties were polite, and the emperor often left shortly after he left.
Needless to say, Yue Jieyu’s special case, now everyone in the palace is laughing at her...
In fact, the emperor's favorite places to visit were Lanzhou Yeyu Pavilion and Dan Ruoting. The concubines in both places were all young newcomers, beautiful and charming, unlike the older concubines who were respectful and respectful. Polite, and... speechless.
Well, in fact, from the empress to the east, to Lu Jieyu and Jia Jieyu, they are all daughters of everyone. It is not possible to say that they really have nothing to say to the emperor. After all, when it comes to music, chess, calligraphy, painting, poetry, and songs, these few people have been taught by famous teachers since childhood. They chatted with the emperor, talked about classics and history, etc. There is no problem.
The problem is that because of their father's family, they have had a bad relationship with the emperor since they entered the palace.
In the previous years, there were many concubines who wanted to have a good relationship with the emperor, but they were all disturbed by the jealous Yuan Niang.
Are all the concubines the jewel in the family? They have been pampered since they were young. It’s fine for them to be submissive to the emperor, but why should the emperor do it in spite of Yuan Niang? They really can't do that kind of thing.
Especially at that time, the emperor was a puppet, and the queen was more effective than him at shutting up. Even if there were some people who either didn't care, or admired the emperor's grace and appearance, and were willing to get close to the emperor, they were all attracted by Yuan Yuniang's fierce and promising behavior. Treat the emperor like a guest.
From that time of treating each other like guests, they were willing to find topics to talk about, but the emperor was too lazy to listen: because there was already a newcomer in the palace...
After Yun Fenghuang analyzed it, Wei Hengyan was in admiration: "If my sister can see clearly, my sister can't see it clearly!"
"How can I have that ability?" Yun Fenghuang told her in a low voice, "Why don't you remind me when my biological mother enters the palace next time... I said that Bandong went to government affairs in the previous dynasty and it is difficult to come back. When we get to the harem, don’t we want to relax quickly? But I also saw that from the east of the Queen, the imperial concubine, Mrs. Yaoning, Lu Jieyu and Jia Jieyu, who are not dignified and able to escape the shortcomings? But Your Majesty In the previous dynasty, it looked like a censor who looked like a wooden censor. Isn’t it ridiculous!”
"No wonder they say, like mother, like daughter. My sister is as smart as her biological mother." Wei Hengyan blinked his eyes and said understandingly, "That's wrong. My sister heard that the Xie family is Wei Yuan's son. , have arrived in the Imperial Capital, and plan to participate in next year’s Enke?”
Yun Fenghuang sighed: "I have been away from home for several years, and I don't know much about it anymore. But I am a little worried. There is no one in the Xie family's court. Even if the children of the family are in high school and have no one to take care of them, they don't know that they will be sent. What kind of errand?"
"Why should sister worry about that matter?" Wei Hengyan said, "Although my sister doesn't dare to say anything about it at home, everyone in the six departments has some knowledge and can speak eloquently. Sister is like that in the palace If you take care of your sister, how can you not reciprocate the favor?"
Yun Fenghuang had been chattering with her for so long, deliberately asking whether her mother, Jiang, had any knowledge, could she just say no to that
Hearing this, he smiled: "Then thank you sister!"
Although Wei Jieyu was not a cheap ally, she had not been used in the previous conflicts. But if the two people's natal families are not related and their interests are the same in the future, then one day, that person will have no choice but to make advances and retreats with him.
The emperor tried every means to open Enke's wings, but she must not fall behind.
