Chunjia's forehead veins jumped and he shouted: "Don't change the subject! What I want to talk about now is your fellow cousin Jiulu!"
"I am now His Majesty's, what does it have to do with Qi Jiulu?" Yun Fenghuang said aggrievedly, wiping his tears, "I was engaged to be engaged to him by the order of my parents, but this is all in the past. Long ago. Before I came to the imperial capital, the two families had already broken off the engagement... If Your Majesty dislikes me because of this, why do you need to say this? Wouldn't it be more straightforward to send me out of the palace directly, or to deal with me directly? "
Chunjia sneered: "You were going to turn around and deny what you said before, right?"
Yun Fenghuang said angrily: "Recognize it! As for what I have said, why should I not admit it? Anyway, at my age, it is not a big deal for me to be vain and like to brag! After all, who is not a concubine? Are you here at this age? I don’t believe that I can’t stand anyone inside and out. No one cares about me, so I’m just talking about random people!”
She insisted that all the things she said about her friendship and interactions with Qi Jiulu were lies out of vanity because she was jealous of Yuan Yuniang being favored by the emperor. Chunjia didn't bother to argue with her, and only said: "Then you were in Kongming that night. What's going on in the pool?"
"Your Majesty won't come to Lanzhou Yeyu Pavilion. I have to have an excuse to find you." Yun Fenghuang said plausibly, "And His Majesty was obviously in a bad mood that night. I was worried in my body and mind and didn't want to leave, but Your Majesty kept rushing. I, I can only stay shamelessly... As for what I said that night, I was so confused that I forgot about it because I was worried about Your Majesty."
He also said, "If Your Majesty insists on arguing with me, I have nothing to say. Please just punish me!"
Well, anyway, she mentioned Qi Jiulu because she was jealous of the emperor for being kind to other women. She stayed up late at night to mess around with the emperor because she missed and cared about the emperor.
She was punished by the emperor for this, but she had no regrets...
Chunjia summarized the concubine's remarks and said melancholy: "If I have your eloquence and shamelessness when I tie my hair, I might even be in charge in the first two years!"
"His Majesty is the heir to Emperor Xiaozong, and it is natural for him to ascend to the throne." Yun Fenghuang said sternly, "Of course, you must act openly and openly. What does your majesty have to envy for such a little trick?"
"..." At first glance, I was quite moved. I felt that this concubine had spoken a human word. But when I thought about it carefully, wasn't this just a tactful way of urging myself to be tolerant and generous? Well, the point is to be tolerant and generous to her. Don't talk to her. Are you planning a little trick
Chunjia laughed and said: "You were sighing for Qi Jiulu a few days ago, but now you are pouring your heart out to me. My beloved, my heart has changed so quickly. I don't even know which of your words are true and which." is fake?"
Seeing Yun Fenghuang open his mouth, he raised his voice and said, "Don't mention Niang Niang!"
I don’t know where this concubine came from to be so bold. If it were someone else, even Empress Ji, not to mention telling the emperor about her deep love for other men, she would have been suspected by the emperor of being close to a foreign man. , I'm afraid they will be so frightened that they will kneel down and take off their hairpins to punish them.
However, Yun Fenghuang has not even admitted his mistake in a serious way. He is still very unconvinced and wants to use Yuan Niang to prove that among the emperors and concubines, the emperor is the one who has no conscience. At this moment, he was scolded by the emperor. , she looked aggrieved: "I told you that I said that out of jealousy before, but your majesty just doesn't believe it, what can I do? I asked your majesty to kill me or drive me away, but your majesty refuses! "
Seeing the emperor looking sideways at her, she changed her sitting position, put her hands on her chin, and rolled her eyes, "I have been engaged to my cousin Jiulu since I was a child. The engagement was broken off when I was twelve years old. In the same year, I set out on my way to the imperial capital alone. I was halfway there at that time. , I was once stopped by Qi Jiulu and asked me if I was willing to go with him - if I really had a deep love for him, would I still come to the Imperial Capital?"
"My sister just made a fuss about Hongxing's affair. If you also run away with your ex-fiancé, you can imagine the plight of the Xie family in the North!" Chunjia let out a laugh and said, "It is said that my beloved concubine is in the clan. To be pampered, you always have to have a little conscience."
Yun Fenghuang said: "Come on! Since I have been thinking like this since I was twelve years old, is it possible that now three years later, I am confused? I have already entered the palace, and I still have to deal with the Qi Jiulu family. ?I told you it’s just some women’s petty ideas!”
Chunjia smiled half-heartedly and said, "Perhaps I have become confused as I get older? After all, when I went to Empress Yuan's mother to admit her mistake, didn't I say that for various reasons, Meng Lang has been acting very recklessly since she entered the palace? Mrs. Xingjiang came to wake you up, so she is particularly upset and regretful... After all, when my beloved concubine is at home, she is well-behaved, obedient, docile, and filial, right?"
"..." Yun Fenghuang silently swallowed a mouthful of blood and said weakly, "Your Majesty, have you forgotten that my birth mother's goddaughter is strict? If I had really done something that was sorry for you, I would have been kicked out of the family a long time ago. Can we still have today?"
Chunjia said calmly: "I'm not worried that you will really have anything to do with that Qi Jiulu..."
Yun Fenghuang breathed a sigh of relief, and then heard the emperor continue, "After all, my beloved concubine has always been cunning and suspicious, and she will never let others take advantage of her easily... I just feel that you are thinking about him after all."
"After all, your majesty still doesn't trust me." Yun Fenghuang cursed the foolish emperor in his heart, but said sadly on his face, "Either this, I will help the queen to track down the real culprit who murdered Hu Fengyi tomorrow. At that time, regardless of whether it was Yue Jieyu who did it or not, he framed the crime on Yue Jieyu, so your majesty can be considered to believe that I am solely focused on you?"
Chunjia was stunned and stunned for a while before asking: "... Why did you frame Niang Niang to prove that you are interested in me?"
Shouldn't you yell at Qi Jiulu to prove that you have no intention of caring about him and that your thoughts are all with me? ?
Yun Fenghuang said: "I am jealous that she can be with Your Majesty as my childhood sweetheart. I am jealous that she can be looked upon differently by Your Majesty. I am jealous that she can bear children for Your Majesty... Your Majesty, look at this palace. The Queen and the Queen are... Your Majesty is a married couple, and Yi Yuwan is very beautiful and pregnant with the emperor's heir. However, I have always respected the empress and loved Yi Yuwan, because I understand that your Majesty has no deep friendship with these two people."
"But Yue Jieyu is different!"
"I can accommodate anyone in the three palaces and six courtyards, but I can't tolerate her alone!"
"Doesn't this just prove my feelings for you?"
Chunjia was silent for a while, and said quietly: "I understand a little bit about the deep love my beloved concubine has for me, and I actually like you very much. Let's do it this way. When I get back, I will have Qi Jiulu's five horses cut into pieces to prove my love for you. How about your love and affection?"
"No, Your Majesty!" Yun Fenghuang said sternly without even blinking, "Although I am not angry with the Qi family for backing off the engagement to make matters worse, the Qi family is deeply rooted in the north, and now they have an eye-catching relationship with the regent. She is considered the regent. People of the same lineage. If your majesty punishes the eldest son of the Qi family because of my personal grudge, and ruins your majesty's major affairs, I will not be able to atone for my sin even if I die!"
But she can still take care of Yuan Niang. After all, Yuan Niang is dead... then she is dead.
It's not related to the emperor's overall situation or plans, is it
Chunjia looked at her with a half-smile but not a smile for a while, and said, "I will always bear in mind that my concubine considers me so much! In this way, if there is a chance in the future, can my concubine deal with Qi Jiulu personally?"
His idea was that if Yun Fenghuang refused, it would of course prove that her words just now were just sweet words, and that she actually still cared about Qi Jiulu and couldn't bear to hurt him; if she agreed, it would be cruel and hard-hearted. After all, they grew up together as childhood sweethearts. Even if there is a grudge after breaking off the engagement, and then he turns around and kills her personally, even if it is just to please the king, it is also suspected of being heartless and heartless.
Either way, the emperor was ready to scold the concubine.
"The eldest son of the Qi family is an official of the imperial court. According to the rules, even the Empress Dowager, the empress dowagers, and the empress are not allowed to say anything about his actions." When Yun Fenghuang heard this, he blinked his eyes with a look of longing. He asked, "Does Your Majesty really allow me to interfere in the affairs of the previous court? Your Majesty is so loving, I am really..."
Chunjia: "...Shut up."
Yun Fenghuang looked at him disappointedly, with a look of reluctance on his face: "... Oh."
It's just a half-truth and half-false argument. It's not enough for this concubine to be promoted to a higher level today. She also wants to get involved in the previous dynasty? ?
The emperor was amazed by her greed: "Are you so ambitious at home? How can your father and brother tolerate you?"
"Didn't Your Majesty just say that I am very favored in the clan." Yun Fenghuang muttered, "Actually, Your Majesty, I really want to share your worries. I can just take care of other things. Over there in the North, I am You are very familiar with me, do you really not want to listen to my humble opinion...?"
Of course her father and brother felt that she was not as docile and well-behaved as the other sisters, but they didn't have any objections, or if they did, they didn't want to offend her.
After all, her position in the Xie family is not simply that of the Xie family's legitimate daughter, but the future mistress of the Qi family - not simply the wife of the Qi family's eldest son, but the one who will preside over the Qi family together with Qi Jiulu and be the master of the family.
Even if she is a close relative, since she can remember, everyone in the Xie family has looked at her like this. How could they still treat her as their own child
Yun Fenghuang has always been smart, and she has noticed since she was a child that she often uses this special treatment to benefit herself, and often uses this status to compete with Xie Fenghuan for favor... This memory flashed by, she raised her head, and smiled. He smiled and said, "Even my brothers and the others, sometimes they can't do the homework assigned by their elders, so they still have to ask me for advice in private!"
Chunjia sneered: "Can you please help me to plead for mercy? I believe it."
The master's boldness and cunning gave him a headache, let alone the elders of the Xie family
He felt that he couldn't continue to quarrel with this concubine. He was originally just angry with her for being negligent and wanted to give her a little color, but after all, he failed to hold her accountable. Now she has grown up in her heart, even if he has not yet grasped it. The powerful people began to covet her - if this concubine was not only fifteen years old, had always been willful and had an unruly temperament, and her family background was not very good, she would have been doomed if she fell out of favor on the spot.
If it were Empress Ji and her ilk, Chun Jia could let the harem die violently tonight.
"Let's settle it!" Chunjia put down the tea bowl and unilaterally declared a truce.
As a result, he took off his clothes and took off his belt. Seeing the young concubine's fair skin under the lamplight, highlighted by the crow's black hair, the emperor felt warm in his heart. He heard Yun Fenghuang's apology, saying that she was inconvenient today: " Otherwise, I wouldn’t have called those concubines just now. After all, His Majesty hasn’t been here for the past few days. No matter how generous I am, I still have to think about myself occasionally, right?”
emperor:"… "
Then I have been angry for so long tonight? ?
Yun Fenghuang observed the words and said: "Why don't I ask someone to call a few of them now?"
"... No need." The emperor took a deep breath and said, trying not to smile, "Didn't you tell me? I often come to you for your quick thinking, not for your beauty and virtue!"
Yun Fenghuang suppressed a smile and said yes.
This night the emperor felt that he was aggrieved enough. When he lay down, he decided that he would give this concubine a good drying and not come to Lanzhou Yeyu Pavilion for at least half a month!
But what I didn’t expect was…
The torment of the night is not over yet.
Not long after the imperial concubine fell asleep, the emperor was awakened by the movement beside him. He opened his eyes, and with the dim light from the night outside the tent, he saw Yun Fenghuang's pale face, biting the corners of the quilt in his mouth, and his forehead was covered with blood. The dense beads of sweat seemed to be enduring great pain.
He stood up in horror, stretched out his hand to feel her pulse, and asked in a deep voice, "What's wrong?"
