After seeing Chunjia off the next day, Yun Fenghuang ordered Qingdu: "In two days, I will give you a rest. You go out of the palace and stay with my sister-in-law for half a day before coming back."
Qingdu didn't know why, but he still knelt down and said, "Yes."
"Bring some food with you then." Yun Fenghuang thought for a while, "Especially prepare more things for Meng'er. Let my sister-in-law reveal it to the neighbors and tell her that I love Meng'er. As if she were my own, I wish I could raise her under my knees."
After explaining this, he added, "Twenty-three and cousin Zhu don't be left behind. Send a message to them on my behalf, asking them to take care of the sisters in the clan who are about the same age as me as much as possible. The direct descendant of the branch, even if it is inconvenient to interfere, is still asking for details... Well, let the Qing people come with you, so as not to be too busy."
"Your Highness, will this be done..." Xie Hengyu hesitated, "After all, the Thirteenth Young Master and the rest will be gone in the spring next year. We are taking too much care of you right now. I'm afraid His Majesty won't like it?"
Yun Fenghuang shook his head and said: "Things have priorities and I can't care about this. Besides, next year's Enke is not so much the country's talent promotion ceremony as it is His Majesty's selection of his confidants. Therefore, as long as His Majesty likes it, other It’s nothing.”
She thought that according to her image in Chunjia's mind, her tearful confession last night could impress Chunjia for a while, but after the person calmed down, those who should be suspicious would still be suspicious, so she had to pursue the victory and finalize the decision. That was the improvised rhetoric.
It would be convenient to perform as her brothers and niece are all in the Imperial Capital at the moment: anyway, she has told the emperor that she has several childhood sweethearts with whom she has deep feelings. In addition to Qi Jiulu, there are also a large number of relatives. At this time, she should take more care of her brothers who are almost the same age. ,What is the problem
Comparing Chunjia to Yuan Niang, she feels that what she has done is far from enough...
As for being nice to your niece, it's even more natural. She is a niece who looks exactly like Yun Fenghuang when she was a child.
As an aunt, there is no hope in this life. How can I not love her
Yun Fenghuang estimated that if he did this, even if Chunjia still had doubts in his heart and might scold him a few times, he would not be really angry.
Of course, these are all incidental. She went around in circles for a long time last night, but in the final analysis, she took the opportunity to bring the topic to Xie Fenghuan's matter.
With her ambitions and her plans for Xie Xiliu and others, no matter what, she couldn't have a sister who cheated on her.
Wang's son had done a great job back then, and the evidence was so solid that it was impossible to reverse the verdict normally.
But in front of the imperial power, those evidences are just clouds.
For the next two days, everything in the palace was as usual. Yun Fenghuang was fighting openly and secretly with the Queen, while asking the Queen how to prepare for the upcoming Mid-Autumn Festival banquet.
Two days later, Qingdu Qingren went out of the palace for a whole day and came back in the evening. Chunjia happened to be not in Xuanqing Palace. Yun Fenghuang talked with them for a while and then locked himself in the inner hall.
The next morning, all the concubines gathered at the entrance of Huanhua Hall, waiting for the chief to lead them to greet them. However, after everyone gathered, it was Xie Hengyu who came out and told: "Your Majesty is not feeling well. I asked Yi Guiren to take the lead in going to Yanfu Palace and Chunnuo Palace." Please give me my regards and ask for leave on my behalf."
Yi Xingen was already a little pregnant at this moment, but she was in good health and Yun Fenghuang treated her attentively, so she did not accept the grace of being exempted from greetings and continued to follow the host every day.
At this moment, I heard that the leader was ill, and she felt a little uneasy - she dared not to accept even a single invitation during her pregnancy because she was relying on the leader to be capable and protect her. Otherwise, with the examples of the imperial concubine and Hu Fengyi right in front of her, where would she be? Dare to go out casually
"My lord, please don't worry." Xie Hengyu saw it and comforted her gently, "Your Majesty asked me to accompany you. I have raised many children. If anything goes wrong, I will remind you."
Yi Xing'en secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Although she didn't know why the master, who was fine yesterday, fell ill, but since he sent his mother to follow him, he obviously still had the ability to take care of the people in the palace.
So she took the lead and led a group of concubines to Yanfu Palace. Queen Ji quickly received the news and was also surprised: "Yesterday, the real concubine was so full of energy, how come she fell ill after coming here one night?"
"Could it be that you are cheating on your Majesty on purpose?" a waiter said quickly, and was quickly stared at: The real concubine is relying on the support of Empress Dowager Yuan and the emperor, and is ambitious to host the Mid-Autumn Festival banquet. How could you be pretending to be sick? Even if he is really sick, he will probably hold on until the end!
The queen frowned: "Let the Yigui people come in and answer."
However, Yi Xing'en was still confused. Naturally, she didn't know anything about it. She was pregnant and had a good birth. Although the emperor was not as doting and pampering to her as he was to Yun Fenghuang, she was the only one among the concubines who were born in Cainu. As for the title, the queen is still a domineering person... The queen was not easy to press, and after asking for a while to no avail, she waved her hand and let her go out.
After a while, the concubines arrived. They had different expressions when they heard about this.
The imperial concubine lowered her eyes and fiddled with the tea as if she hadn't heard anything; the imperial concubine admired her bracelet and remained calm; Yue Xiuyuan sneered, quite gloating; Lu Chongyi, Cui Chongrong and Jia Chongyuan looked at each other for a while, Cui Chongrong Quickly deadpanned.
Lu Chongyi and Jia Chongyuan were very confused: should they go to Xuanqing Palace to visit the doctor or not...
Ordinarily, their relationship with Yun Fenghuang is not very good. Even if the promotion at this moment is Yun Fenghuang's suggestion, to be honest, they really can't be grateful.
Honestly, they don't want to go.
The problem is, they don't dare to ignore Yun Fenghuang's reputation in the past - the Mid-Autumn Festival is coming soon, who knows if the master wants to pretend to be sick to test the concubines
What if they didn't go to visit and Yun Fenghuang started targeting them later
Just when he was in a dilemma, Wei Zhaorong said with emotion: "Ever since the empress fell ill during the summer vacation, and the real concubine sister took care of the affairs of the Sixth Palace, she hasn't had much rest. No wonder she was fine yesterday and fell ill today. Yes! These days, Sister Zhenfei has been working really hard to share the worries of the Queen! Your Majesty, I want to go to Xuanqing Palace to see Sister Zhenfei later."
Empress Ji's face twitched, she looked at her deeply, and said calmly: "What Wei Zhaorong said is that the true concubine has really worked hard these days."
He tilted his head and asked the attendant to fetch some good medicinal materials, clothing and other materials from his warehouse, and then go to Xuanqing Palace to reward them.
Wei Zhaorong smiled broadly: "The Queen is kind and considerate, which is really a blessing to the Sixth Palace! I thank the Queen on behalf of my true concubine!"
Well, not only Lu Chongyi and Jia Chongyuan suspected Yun Fenghuang's intentions, but Wei Zhaorong also thought so... She has now thought about it, she and Zhenfei are not at the same level at all.
It's rare that the true concubine is willing to win over her due to her background. If she doesn't take advantage of the fact that she doesn't have many capable helpers now and firmly sit in the position of chief assistant, is it possible that she will wait for Yi Xingen and others to grow up and compete with her
She didn't receive any news about the true concubine's illness. Maybe this sister was testing her to see if she was smart and loyal enough
Wei Hengyan, who was self-conscious, clever and loyal, thanked the queen, then glanced at the concubines around him and smiled - this smile made all the concubines' eyelids twitch.
Lu Qidao and Jia Pingye prayed silently in their hearts, but they still couldn't stop Empress Zhaorong from saying softly: "Sisters, do you want to go visit Sister Zhenfei together later?"
At this moment, the word "visit" is no different from "visit" in the concubine's ears.
Basically, those who went to Xuanqing Palace today were openly declaring their allegiance to the true concubine.
Looking up, Empress Ji held the armrest of the phoenix throne tightly and looked down with piercing eyes. She saw that the imperial concubine still didn't hear anything, but the corners of her eyes couldn't help twitching. It was obvious that her heart was not as calm as she appeared; Concubine Ying was no longer as calm as she appeared. He was calm a moment ago, with a slight frown; Yue Xiuyuan had a sneer on her lips, but she didn't say anything; Cui Chongrong had a dull face, staring at the floor tiles not far away and studying intently...
These few people either have people behind them or are simply in the emperor's heart, so they are not afraid of the real concubine's intimidation.
However, others are not so confident.
Lu Qidao couldn't help but look at Concubine Ying, and Jia Pingye couldn't help looking at Concubine Ying. Shun Jieyu and Xue Jieyu hesitated for a while. Shun Jieyu lowered her head and said, "I want to go with you, too."
Wei Hengyan chuckled softly and looked at Xue Jieyu below. Xue Xiaoge looked pale and her forehead was covered with cold sweat. Looking at the situation, she wished she could die on the spot. When the tension in Chongchang Palace was tense, Yun Fenghuang from Huanhua Palace didn't know that Wei Heng Yan and others were still racking their brains to figure out how to sit in Qiuting.
Since Huanhua Hall has the word "flower", there are naturally many flowers.
This season is the time for sweet-scented osmanthus and autumn chrysanthemums. It happened that she was sitting under the sweet-scented osmanthus tree yesterday, but now she specifically found a bunch of yellow autumn chrysanthemums. She walked around it a few times and thought about it. When Ri entered the door, he adjusted his angle of view slightly and quickly chose a beautiful place diagonally facing Qiu Ju.
Looking from her position, Qiu Ju was diagonally ahead, but when she came in from Chun Jia, she saw the person in the bush.
The true concubine holds the round fan with a sandalwood handle and a purple yarn embroidered with citrus flowers and birds, which is a little outdated this season, and pulls on the chrysanthemum yellow background with dark embroidered lotus and chrysanthemum patterns on the front. The inner lining is ink brocade embroidery. Manzhushahua myrobalan, that manzhushahua is extremely embroidered, lifelike and bright. The chrysanthemum yellow and ink colors create a sense of enchantment; the pine green fairy skirt is dragged down, and the hem of the skirt is embroidered with a picture of an auspicious crane holding a mushroom. The crane's body is surrounded by auspicious clouds, and the fairy palace is hidden.
Except for this dress, Yun Fenghuang did not wear any accessories, and even her long hair was loosely tied up with a long red gold hairpin without any ornaments, making her skin look increasingly white.
Her lips were naturally bright red, but at this moment, her clothes were gorgeous and autumn flowers were blooming all around. In comparison, the bright and eye-catching color unique to young women was inevitably obscured a lot.
Yun Fenghuang pondered in his heart, if the autumn wind blows for a while, and the cold freezes, until Chunjia comes over, it should be just right for it to be desolate and desolate
Thinking like this, she stared at the autumn chrysanthemum bush not far away for a while, then decisively jumped off the beauty bed, ran over and picked out two flowers that were squeezed underneath and couldn't see much, crushed the petals, and threw them sparsely in the garden. middle.
Return to your previous position and sit tight.
No matter who comes out of the moon cave door next, the first thing they see will definitely be a courtyard full of flowers. Someone is leaning on the railing, lightly fanning the fan. The short undergarment is the same color as the chrysanthemums outside the railing, because the beauty is blocked by it. The body, at first glance, seems to be that of Qiu Ju, whose essence has been condensed into a human form.
The autumn wind stirs up the black hair and clothes, and also blows the remaining flowers everywhere... Bits of sweet-scented osmanthus fall like drizzle, and the fragrance floats, even if the face of the person leaning on the railing cannot be seen, the sadness of the desolate autumn tears [Note] is already there Ready to come out.
It's a pity that menstruation has not come yet. Yun Fenghuang thought with regret that although those days are very difficult, everything has its advantages and disadvantages. If it is used in the right place, even if it is painful, it is not all without benefits.
Otherwise, she will look even worse, and she can enhance the atmosphere to a higher level!
As he was leaning on the railing and carefully calculating whether there were any omissions, there was a sound of footsteps outside the moon cave door, mixed with Xie Hengyu's report in a deliberately louder voice: "Your Majesty, the empress has been alone in there for a long time..."
Yun Fenghuang perked up and quickly entered the state!
