"Empress, you must not fall into the trap of the empress dowager!" Yun Fenghuang raised his head and said aggrievedly, "I am helpless in that palace, and my empress will uphold justice. If even the empress does not I am disgusted with my concubine, that... that concubine... "
As he spoke, he started wiping away tears.
Empress Ji was unmoved and hummed: "You are so young, how can you be double-dealing! Just now, you were so angry at your mother's cruelty. At that time, your mother, Feng Chaan, fell out before she had gone far, but she was very eager to do that. Why are you looking so pitiful? You think I don’t know what I’m planning in my heart!”
"Your Majesty's words have really unjustly accused me of death!" Yun Fenghuang walked a few steps forward on his knees and shouted, "The Empress Dowager, the loving mother, is the biological aunt of the Imperial Concubine Yue, and the Imperial Concubine Yue herself dislikes my concubine. Let me ask them, the aunt and nephew are of the same mind, how can they have a good impression of me? It would be great if the empress dowager, the loving mother, does not help Concubine Yue to kill all the concubines, let alone seek promotion for me? Although I am stupid, it is so simple. How can the truth be unclear?"
Empress Ji said: "The empress dowager, a loving mother, has always lived in seclusion. Since she entered the palace, she has hardly spoken to me. It is rare that I have spoken a few words, and I have been promoted to a higher level. Is this a mistake?"
"I dare to say it bluntly. Although a beauty is one level above a talented person, in the eyes of the empress dowager, a loving mother, or in the eyes of empress Yue, what difference does it make?" Yun Fenghuang wiped his face and choked. Said, "They are just concubines anyway! When I was in Baolin, I had to serve you cautiously in the Ningbi Palace. After becoming a beauty, and Concubine Yue summoned me, why don't I stop serving you? But the empress dowager, a loving mother, did that , not only did the Sixth Palace’s attention shift from Jiang Lan’s presence to my concubine’s presence, but the empress also asked not to hurt me!”
She raised her face and begged, "I really beg you to take back your life. Not long after I entered the palace, I have already been promoted to one level. If I am determined to be promoted to two levels in a row, why not let me be the concubine!" If the empress refuses to ask for a reward, just reward me with some clothes and jewelry!"
"I don't know how to talk with my little mouth." Empress Ji squinted her eyes. Of course she knew whether Yun Fenghuang was trying to dispel her intention of knocking her. The words "They are not palace concubines anyway" somewhat made the queen feel I felt more at ease.
The queen had planned to ask Yun Fenghuang to be pressed, but she felt that the palace concubines were docile, and promotion too quickly would easily lead to unruliness. At that time, Xin Dong thought about it, the beauty was not even a fifth-grade woman, and she was four levels away from the third-grade Jieyu who could preside over the palace. Even if the two levels of being pregnant and raising an imperial heir are taken into account, it would still be a fourth-grade beauty... And from pregnancy to birth, it would take more than half a year... Then it would not be possible to give birth to Donglai. In this case, if there is no birth, then there is no heir in the palace. Previously, Shu Fei and Yue Fei asked for status, status, family background, and backers, so why not be happy in vain...
The queen thought for a few times before she lowered her tone and said, "Well, is the Empress Dowager an elder? Since I have agreed, there is no reason to regret it. Besides, the empress dowager and Concubine Yue don't take her seriously. Here, is it possible that I care about me?"
Yun Fenghuang sobbed and refused: "If the queen is displeased because of my promotion to the throne, I don't want to be a beauty!"
"You just spared me once, but now you're having sex with me?" Empress Ji was a little bit dumbfounded, "I don't like a willful master. I don't ask for your permission. I don't care if I leave." Let’s go to Chunwu Palace to apologize to our loving mother, the Queen Mother!”
Yun Feng Huangxin said that I wanted to beg, so I couldn't ask for it at that moment. She wiped her face and said firmly: "Ask for my concubine's reward, and don't ask for other people's concubines!"
"Then I will be a talented person." Empress Ji held up her face, turned to the maid next to her and said, "I can't blame the palace for saying that Chenggui is so courageous. She has only met me a few times, and she is just like me Get Joe up.”
The palace maid smiled and said, "That's not very generous of you, Madam. Yun Chenggui, you are so close to me without fear?"
"That's all." Empress Ji also laughed when she heard this, telling Yun Fenghuang to stand up and shut up, "Look at me crying miserably, those who don't know may think that I have bullied me... I suffered so much last morning Now, let’s go back to Xi Xingxuan and clean up. I’ll ask someone to handle the reward later, and it will be mine.”
Yun Fenghuang then broke down in tears and smiled, kowtowed to her and then stood up: "I express my gratitude to you, empress."
After resigning from Yanfu Palace and heading back to Xixingxuan, Yun Fenghuang felt a little uneasy, wondering if the Queen really wanted to seize the beauty who had promised Empress Dowager Yuan and give him a talented person
That's not okay. It's just that the Queen Mother Yuan didn't open her mouth to ask for permission. Since the Queen Mother has spoken in person, why should she let go of the meat that reaches her mouth
Yun Fenghuang began to wonder, if Empress Ji really wanted to recruit talented people for herself, how would she do it... Well, why don't she just try Empress Dowager Yuan's career
Although she had just kept saying in front of the Queen that Empress Dowager Yuan was Concubine Yue's biological aunt and that she and Concubine Yue must be of the same mind, she did not tell the Queen specifically about this.
In fact, in Yun Fenghuang's view, Empress Dowager Yuan may really dote on Concubine Yue's niece, otherwise she would not have given Concubine Yue a marriage with Chunjia since she was a child. But in the Queen Mother's mind, Concubine Yue and Chunjia Which one is more important... I'm afraid Chunjia is more valued by Empress Dowager Yuan.
The reason is very simple. First of all, Chunjia is not the child of the Empress Dowager Yuan, even if she is an adopted son, the Empress Dowager Yuan has nothing to do. A bastard raised by her own legs is no different from a biological child, not to mention that Chunjia is also very attached to her aunt. Beyond her biological mother, Queen Mother Qu, Concubine Yue's niece would still be considered a niece if she kissed her. Secondly, Empress Dowager Yuan Ruming's status was based on Chunjia's status as emperor, but it had nothing to do with Concubine Yue.
Even if it meant her own standard of living in her later years, her treatment after a long life, and her family's future, Empress Dowager Yuan would definitely want to pay more attention to Chunjia.
So what's wrong with Yun Fenghuang's restless new palace concubine, a mature and prudent person like Empress Dowager Yuan will naturally not be like Concubine Yue, who will cause trouble without saying a word, even if Yun Fenghuang and Concubine Yue are already at odds. In the eyes of Empress Dowager Yuan, the two parties may not be at a life-or-death situation, and there is Coco who can make peace with each other - of course, maybe the Empress Dowager is not such a protective person, or she does not feel that Yun Fenghuang is qualified to make her compromise. .
But judging from the interaction between Empress Dowager Yuan and Empress Ji just now, Chunjia's direct descendants really don't have the qualifications to be willful at present. Empress Dowager Yuan and the others can easily kill Yun Fenghuang, but the question is how to deal with the Ji family, Quan Huan, the regent, etc. What was the use of those forces in the previous dynasty
They have endured it for so many years, how could it be that just one concubine Yue failed to succeed
It was true that Yun Fenghuang looked down on Concubine Yue, but she really didn't think Yuan Yuniang had that much weight.
For example, her status in the Xie family was not low back then, and she was recognized as the jewel in the palm of her hand. However, when it came to the family's reputation, why not just sacrifice? My mother-in-law, Mrs. Jiang, really cared about her and had enough power to overpower her. She had long been sent to the family temple or hastily married off like her cousins who were similar in age.
