The next day Yun Fenghuang came to Baose Xiaozhu again. This time Empress Ji was "sick" and saw her. She asked lightly: "The real concubine has been here for two days in a row. Is there something wrong?"
"Your Majesty, count the days, we should pack our things and prepare to go back to the palace." Yun Fenghuang pursed his lips and smiled, "Isn't that what the rules should be when I come to ask for instructions?"
Empress Ji glanced at her and asked: "Copy a copy of the charter in the future tense and give it to the true concubine."
Without waiting for Yun Fenghuang to thank him, he asked, "Is there anything else?"
"Your Majesty, your body has been in disharmony for some time." Yun Fenghuang's smile remained unchanged, "I would like to ask when your Majesty will be better? It will also help me to take off this heavy burden from my shoulders."
"Why should a true concubine be humble?" Empress Ji said calmly, "Aren't you doing a good job these days?"
Yun Fenghuang said: "However, Yi Gui is getting older, and I have to put more thoughts on her. After all, Your Majesty has no children, what is more important than the emperor's heir?"
"..." Queen Ji was silent for a while, then said "Yeah", "That's true."
But he didn't say anything, he just said, "I am a little tired."
So Yun Fenghuang stood up and resigned.
After leaving the door, Qingdu asked in a low voice: "Why did the empress suddenly mention Yi Guiren's pregnancy?"
She knew that Yun Fenghuang attached great importance to Yi Xingen's pregnancy. She was definitely not showing it to outsiders. She really wanted to be a cheap mother-in-law. But Yun Fenghuang immediately mentioned Yi Xingen's pregnancy to the Queen. Didn't this remind the Queen to do something
"It's not like the Yi nobles are the only ones in the palace who are pregnant." Yun Fenghuang glanced at her and sneered slightly, "The imperial concubine had a miscarriage a few months ago. Who is the oldest in the palace now?"
Qingdu was startled, and then he realized that his master wanted to instigate Empress Ji to target Yuan Yuniang - but she pondered: "The empress has been very withdrawn these days, I'm afraid she may not dare to do this?"
"That doesn't matter." Yun Fenghuang said nonchalantly, "Anyway, it's not easy for me to take action. If you say one more thing, whether the queen does it or not, I won't suffer any loss."
Having said that, she was still a little depressed.
It's not all because Yuan Nian Niang will be the first to give birth to an emperor's heir, but because Yuan Nian Niang can give birth to the emperor's eldest son or eldest daughter purely because of the protection of Chun Jia and the Queen Mother Yuan.
If this child falls to the ground peacefully, it means that Chunjia mother and son have control over the palace.
It also means that it is difficult for Yun Fenghuang to break free from their control.
Thinking of this, she felt very angry: in such a big palace, how many people had a noble family background, but why were they more cowardly than the others at the critical moment? !
The emperor relied on your natal family to ascend to the throne, and now he treats you like this. Unless you are secretly planning to kill the king, you can't take it out on the emperor's green plum and blood. If you risk it, you will die together, one and both of you. In this way, let’s see if the emperor dares to be crazy!
... However, the fact is that the emperor showed a little bit of edge, from the Ji family to the Zheng family to the Cui family, he was so quick to surrender!
What a bunch of trash!
No one can fight!
Yun Fenghuang cursed all the way back to Lanzhou Yeyu Pavilion. While making tea, Qing Ren whispered: "The news just came from Xiangtaoxuan. Shun Jieyu adopted several civet cats two days ago. Hearing that we had sent away the civet cat that came over, he hurriedly locked it up in the backyard and only fed it quietly, and ordered the palace officials who knew about it not to say anything!"
"What is she doing?" Yun Fenghuang laughed, "It's just a few cats. She can keep them if she wants. I've let her go out and start her own business. Do you still want to meddle in such nosy matters?"
After saying this, I felt something was wrong, "Why would she like to raise cats? Miaocai, who disappeared back then, was the one who took care of her."
Or is it the dowry that Yun Qingman came to the palace for? Even if this person really likes cats, he is not afraid of cats and dogs because of this. At least he is pregnant, so he would rather be cautious
Qingren said: "My servant also feels strange. I ordered someone to go and find out what's going on?"
He added, "One more thing. Concubine Ying has promoted a new valet. It is said that she is very beautiful. Concubine Ying even rewarded her with the hairpin ring she had just entered the palace."
"As long as Concubine Ying is happy." Yun Fenghuang smiled when he heard this and was very calm. The emperor was puzzled by the regent's feelings for a day. Neither Concubine Ying nor Lu Chongyi could get the emperor's true love and affection. It was too late for the emperor to guard against them. Not to mention that he had just begun to introduce new favorites to the emperor, even if he recommended ten or eight beauties to the emperor, it would be useless.
The emperor would not even want to see them having an heir.
When the imperial concubine had a miscarriage before, the emperor didn't feel any distress at all. This is a clear example.
So Yun Fenghuang told the people below to stop meddling and let Concubine Ying do whatever she wanted.
If Gu Zhen could really send someone to the emperor's bed, she wouldn't care about giving him the position of concubine.
Next, the Qing people talked about a few trivial matters, but they were all trivial disputes between the palace concubines, mainly Yuzhen Palace and Ranxiang Palace. There was no throne in these two places, so they could only report to the queen when something happened. Now the queen is ill. I just came to see Yun Fenghuang.
"By the way, after Shun Jieyu was promoted to the throne, it seems that she hasn't been told which palace she will be in charge of?" Yun Fenghuang was annoyed when he heard it. Then he thought about it and said, "I will talk to your majesty later and let her be in charge of Yuzhen." Just choose one of the palaces or the Ranxiang palace, so that people from these two palaces will not come to me and cry about this or that."
The man from Qing Dynasty smiled and said: "Your Majesty is kind. The thrones of these two palaces have been vacant for many years. People in the palace have always felt that there is no one above them and they are very aggrieved. They are very eager to see the throne. After Shun Jieyu goes, she will definitely be able to follow her. The people in the palace live in harmony and love each other."
This is telling lies with open eyes. It is true that the chief positions of Yuzhen Palace and Ranxiang Palace have been vacant for many years. The people in the palace have always felt that no one above them is very wronged, but they want to work hard to be the masters, rather than counting on the superiors. Give them a seat of honor. Now that Yun Qingman is parachuting down, it's strange that the older concubines who have been wasting their time in the palace for many years would buy it!
If Concubine Shu was still here, they might not dare to do anything to Yun Qingman.
But now that Concubine Shu is gone, the true concubine Yun Fenghuang can suppress them. But as long as the servants like the Qing people give them some hints to let them know that the true concubine is not protecting Shun Jieyu wholeheartedly, then Yun Qingman You can imagine the days to come...
Of course, this is the plan of Yun Fenghuang's master and servant.
It's not just to learn from Yun Qingman, but mainly to force out Concubine Shu's legacy.
I originally thought that by separating the pregnant Yun Qingman, clues would be found soon, but I don’t know whether it was because the people under Concubine Shu were too cautious, or because incidents had happened one after another since the summer vacation this year, which angered the queen mothers and Chunjia. He was furious one after another and told the people behind the scenes not to show up easily - Yun Qingman's stay in Xiangtaoxuan was going smoothly during this period, so Concubine Shu's people lurked secretly and never took action
In short, Yun Fenghuang asked people to stare at Xiang Taoxuan, but so far they haven't gained anything special.
The palace maid last time kept an eye on her, but she didn't catch any big fish, so it wasn't worth the showdown.
So Yun Fenghuang simply added fuel to the fire - he didn't believe that Yun Qingman had to worry about the people in the palace during her pregnancy, and had to deal with open and covert attacks from all directions. Those people left behind by Concubine Shu could still sit still!
After all, Yun Qingman was not very favored in the first place. She was able to conceive this child because Yun Fenghuang repeatedly arranged for her to sleep with her, and ordered someone to stew the decoction he got from Ji Muzi, and drank it day and night. If something happens to this child and she sets up her own business again, the emperor will probably not be able to think of her all year round... This is not a good thing for Duke Yi's palace.
It can be said that Concubine Shu died for Duke Yi's Palace. She was so loyal to her family that her subordinates may not care about Yun Qingman's life, but they would not care about the interests of Duke Yi's Palace.
After handling some palace affairs, towards evening, it suddenly started raining outside.
The little chamberlain jumped up to the corridor and came in to report that Chunjia had gone to Dan Ruoting and would not come tonight.
Yun Fenghuang didn't care and asked people to close the door and prepare the meal.
Before finishing the dinner, he was interrupted by a palace attendant who came unexpectedly: "My Lady, it's not good, the Queen Mother just fainted!"
... Xie Hengyu ignored the wooden clogs at the door. He only wore silk shoes and stepped on the accumulated water in the courtyard to catch up with Yun Fenghuang. He put a crimson-bottomed four-in-one Ruyi Ruiyun patterned gold silk cloak on her shoulders: " My dear, it’s cold at night in the mountains.”
"I know, mom, keep an eye on this place." Yun Fenghuang's eyebrows were heavy, her face was dim in the lights of the night, except for her pair of eyes, which were shining brightly and gleaming. She tied her cloak casually and walked out, " Especially for Yi Guiren, let Mother Jiang and Nian Xuan be more attentive."
When she arrived at the gate of Zhu Xueyuan, she happened to bump into the emperor and Wei Hengyan. Wei Hengyan hurriedly came over to salute.
"Come in quickly." Yun Fenghuang waved his hand, and the two of them followed Chun Jia in quickly.
At this time, the lights inside and outside Zhuxueyuan were brightly lit, and dozens of people were waiting in the corridor with their hands down. Even though it was night, they were all arranged neatly and dressed neatly, with the same solemn expression. They didn't hear the slightest noise, which showed the rules.
A purple-robed palace man came out from the end of the corridor and said, "Your Majesty, please come this way."
Chunjia, who was about to walk in the other direction, trembled before following him - obviously the emperor rarely came here, but he didn't even recognize the Empress Dowager's bedroom.
Outside the bedroom, Queen Mother Yuan and Queen Mother Qu had already arrived because the place was close. Queen Mother Qu looked pale and restless. Although Queen Mother Yuan did not look well, her expression was still calm. She was holding Queen Mother Qu's hand, as if to comfort her.
Seeing Chun Jia come in, the two queen mothers subconsciously stood up: "Your Majesty."
"How is the imperial grandmother?" Chunjia bowed to them and asked in a low voice.
"... I haven't woken up yet." Empress Dowager Yuan sighed, "The empress dowager and the empress are accompanying her inside. The Ai family was afraid that too many people would disturb the empress dowager, so they took sister Qu to escape. Since the emperor's son is here, he will Let’s go in and take a look.”
He glanced at Yun Fenghuang and Wei Hengyan, "You two, please don't go in yet."
The second concubine said hurriedly: "Yes."
After Chunjia led the geese into the inner room, Yun Fenghuang approached Queen Mother Yuan, gave Queen Mother Qu a comforting smile, then helped Queen Mother Yuan sit down, and whispered: "You two queen mothers, please don't worry. , The Empress Dowager and the Queen Mother have their own destiny, and everything will be fine."
Then he asked the Qing people to find the palace servants of Zhuxueyuan, "Let the small kitchen boil some soothing soup and make some good pastries. I am afraid that the three queen mothers and the emperor will be here tonight. Besides, , If the Empress Dowager wakes up later, I’m afraid she will have to eat something to cushion herself.”
In fact, the Empress Dowager is not the point. The key is that Empress Dowager Yuan looks very tired, and Empress Dowager Qu does not look very healthy. She is afraid that these two people will not be able to bear it. Empress Dowager Yuan listened, smiled slightly, and whispered: "Good boy, If you work harder, send someone to call Mother Neem here. We were in a hurry just now, but the Ai family forgot to mention her."
Yun Fenghuang thought to himself: How could you, the old man, make such a mistake
Most likely she was unsure of what was going on with the Empress Dowager, and was afraid that someone might interfere with Yuan Yuniang's pregnancy in the rush. Now that the emperor had arrived, and she, the true concubine, was in charge of the overall situation, she asked Yuan Yuniang to come over.
She didn't expose it and sent Qingdu to call for someone on the spot. As she continued to speak filial and considerate words to the two queen mothers, a palace official came in a hurry outside. After taking a look at the scene, she ran to her and knelt down: "Two queens. The empress dowager, the true concubine. Just now, the empress dowager learned that the empress dowager's phoenix body was against the rules. On the way there with the palace people, Ji Baolin accidentally fell down and complained that she had a stomachache... Because Ji Baolin was pregnant, The imperial concubine did not dare to move her, so she ordered her servants to come over and report her!"
"..." Yun Fenghuang frowned, exchanged glances with Queen Mother Yuan, and said, "Just wait, I will go in and ask for your Majesty's instructions!"
