There were no other accidents in the rest of the day and everything was calm.
Of course, it's hard to say whether everyone is calm...
In the past, such banquets would only end when the lights were turned on.
But this time the Prince Regent felt unwell in the evening and left the meeting early.
As soon as he left, Zheng Ju Cui Wan also wanted to leave, but Chunjia smiled and promised to be the regent, and then asked with concern if they were also feeling as unwell as the regent.
The two of them had nothing to say.
After the banquet ended, Chunjia sent Queen Mother Yuan to Huichunwu Palace first, and then took Yunfeng Huang to Xuanqing Palace to rest.
"Thank you, Your Majesty." After entering the Huanhua Palace, the emperor was sitting and being waited on to wash his face and hands. A palace maid brought sobering soup, but Yun Fenghuang had to remove makeup and hairpins. She sat in front of the dressing table. , looking at Chun Jia leaning on the soft couch from the bronze mirror, looking at herself lazily, curling her lips and smiling, and suddenly said, "I was shocked at first!"
Chunjia was slightly drunk at the moment, his eyes were hazy with drunkenness, and there was a hint of crimson at the end of his eyes. Although he was originally handsome but not feminine, now when his starry eyes were turning, he was a bit charming, and he said in a sweet voice: "Afraid? How dare you make insinuations about my life experience?"
"Isn't I frightened and talking nonsense?" Yun Fenghuang said plausibly. She didn't drink at all. Because of her status and the bad relationship with the concubines, Wei Hengyan was the only one who respected her from the beginning to the end. She gave her a glass of rose water, and she herself toasted Chunjia twice with tea instead of wine. Although she was relatively tired now, she was very sober and immediately argued, "Your Majesty can't argue with me. I can't care about you at that moment." I’m panicking, in full view of everyone…”
She looked at the bronze mirror and pulled out the last gold hairpin, and said softly, "I thought in a trance that it was the same situation three years ago: Mrs. Xie set up a high platform and rushed over to watch in front of three people. In front of the noisy father and villagers, he expelled the concubine from the house, and then fell into deep pool... At that time, in order to prove that Xie's father was strict in raising his daughter, I and a group of sisters just stood in the audience wearing curtains and hats, watching helplessly watching."
"Although the curtain is wide and the veil hangs down to the knees, covering the whole body tightly, but with people pointing and talking from all directions, I still feel as if I have been stripped naked in broad daylight..."
Yun Fenghuang stared at the tip of the golden hairpin in his hand for a while, then threw it into the jewelry box, turned around, and said with a smile, "So what I just said is true. I, thank you, Your Majesty. Ron!"
After saying that, he stood up and took a few steps forward, knelt down on the rafters, and kowtowed to him uprightly.
She originally planned to kowtow three times, but the second time she leaned down, Chunjia stretched out her arms to support her: "You are my beloved concubine, there is no need for this."
It sounds like you arranged this because you love this concubine...
Yun Fenghuang complained in her heart that this was simply because the emperor wanted to use her birth name to intervene in the North. However, as an emperor, especially one who had just taken over the throne and whose status was not yet completely stable, he had so many state affairs to worry about, but he was busy with his busy schedule. Busy with a concubine's housework, if word spreads about it, even if no one adds fuel to the fire, it won't be a good reputation.
Not to mention that the regent has always regarded the North as his own, how could he tolerate the emperor doing this? It must be blocked by every possible means.
As a result, the scholar made a fuss today. Well, this is no longer a family matter of a concubine, but involves the Empress Dowager, Concubine Zhenxi, and Duke Yi, whether they know each other well, and it involves the emperor's wisdom. , it involves whether the emperor mistakenly loves his concubine... In this case, Chunjia thoroughly investigates whether Xie Fenghuan is cheating on her, and no one can say that she is wrong!
After all, the person who raised the question was not an ordinary person, but a scholar who was about to end his life. At the palace banquet that the emperor invited him to attend, he bluntly stated that he was a favored concubine. Instead of dealing with it in anger, the emperor decided to thoroughly investigate the ins and outs of the matter. , which shows that the emperor is approachable and does not abandon private interests because of public affairs.
Isn't it true that people in the world, who accept advice with an open mind and understand everything clearly, are the kind of wise kings that a boastful master like Shilin expects
Yun Fenghuang dared to bet that in a few days, no, maybe in the near future, rumors would appear in the market, leading the whole matter in the direction of Chunjia being a good emperor, and simply one emperor for all eternity.
Then after some fermentation and fermentation, this rumor must of course have a good result.
Only in this way can it be in line with the mentality of the common people in Li who are looking forward to a happy full moon, and more in line with Chunjia's interests. Well, Yun Fenghuang is not worried about Xie Hengyu now, but Xie Fenghuan is not worried at all about Hongxing's affair.
After all, a wise king can humbly accept the scholars’ doubts and carefully investigate the truth, but!
A wise king can make mistakes, but a wise king like Chunjia, whose status is not yet stable, cannot make mistakes!
Not to mention mistaking the person next to you!
Since this incident began with the emperor being tolerant and kind and acting impartially, the end of course was that the scholar was deceived or exploited by others, and wronged the concubine who was favored and trusted by the emperor. After realizing the truth, he was ashamed, but when he apologized, he was treated with broad-minded kindness. Only when the kind-hearted imperial concubine forgives... can it further enhance Chunjia's image, right
So not to mention that Ms. Xie has already done some tricks to prepare for overturning the case, even if she does nothing, Chunjia will definitely frame Xie Fenghuan Hongxing's cheating as a nonsense, restore her reputation, and restore Mr. Xie's reputation. He was so famous that he even built a memorial arch for Xie Fenghuan to prove that he was definitely a pure and virtuous person!
"If I hadn't linked my own affairs with your interests, it would be strange that you would be so kind!" Yun Fenghuang cursed in his heart, but his face was even more moved: "Your Majesty..."
As he spoke, tears welled up in his eyelashes, as if he was too excited and speechless.
So the next moment, she didn't care that there were many waiters in the room, and jumped into Chunjia's arms - because the force was too strong, Chunjia was unprepared, and she fell to the couch with a "thud" sound. If it hadn't been a bit cold now, and Yun Fenghuang's cold air had entered his body, and he had asked someone to bring out soft cushions to spread them out early, maybe he could have called the emperor's doctor.
"Everyone get out." Upon seeing this, Xie Hengyu quickly reminded in a low voice. A group of palace servants tiptoed away with red faces. Xie Hengyu stayed at the end and quietly closed the door for the imperial concubine. He tried his best to suppress it, and the corners of his mouth But he still couldn't help it, hooking it again and again.
Chunjia, who was pressed by Yun Fenghuang, was surprised for a moment, then she laughed softly, put her arms around her waist, kneaded her with his fingertips gently, and said frivolously: "My beloved, this is nothing to repay. , do you agree with me on the spot?"
"I have been your Majesty's for a long time." Yun Fenghuang was too lazy to continue sweet words of gratitude to the emperor, so he changed the subject when he heard this.
Sitting astride the emperor's waist, she looked down from a high position, blinked, and boldly raised his chin, pinched it rather presumptuously, and came closer, squinting and whispering, "But I don't know that your majesty... is willing to be a concubine. Someone?"
Chunjia looked at her with interest for a moment, curled her lips and smiled: "How do you want me to be your person?"
Yun Fenghuang quickly opened his clothes.
... There was a lot of movement in the dormitory of Huanhua Palace that night. Qingxu and Qingren, who were on night duty, couldn't stand it after all. After a while, they couldn't stand it anymore and sent Dancai, who also had a red face, to look for Xie Hengyu who had rested.
Xie Hengyu had no choice but to say: "I understand, you go and have a rest, I will take care of you tonight... Let Dan E and the others go to the front room and call a servant to run errands, so as not to be delayed when His Majesty or the Empress summons them later. To serve.”
The emperor left refreshed the next morning. Although Yun Fenghuang was exhausted, he still managed to get up.
"Your Majesty, why don't we all take a leave today?" Xie Hengyu felt sorry for her and asked while serving her porridge, "After all, the Mid-Autumn Festival feast just happened yesterday, and you were busy with the feast before. In a few days, the Queen Mother will be considerate."
Yun Fenghuang shook his head and said: "Before, the Empress Dowager was considerate of the harem and specifically asked her not to go to pay respects for many days before the feast. Only now has she recovered. If I don't go today, I don't know how it will be arranged. After all, What happened at yesterday’s banquet has not settled yet.”
Xie Hengyu thought about it, sighed, and poured another bowl of warm goat's milk for her, "Then use more, Madam."
Yun Fenghuang specially put on heavy makeup to hide his fatigue that day. After all the hard work yesterday, everyone was not relaxed.
Empress Ji was still complaining that she was ill and had not seen them. The imperial concubine took the lead and kowtowed outside Yanfu Palace, then followed her to Chunwu Palace.
Queen Mother Yuan just let them talk for a few words and then gave up. However, she asked Yuan Yuniang in surprise: "Why didn't you come? Are you feeling uncomfortable?"
Only then did Yun Fenghuang notice Yuan Kuiniang's absence. She couldn't help it. She might not have been so negligent before, but she was really tired today. If she hadn't been holding Qingdu's hand at the entrance of Yanfu Palace just now, she would have almost fallen asleep. How can one be so thoughtful when he is so mentally weak
Feeling embarrassed at this moment, he got up in a hurry and said, "It was my negligence. I was blocked by the crowd and didn't realize that Sister Yue was not here. Queen Mother, why don't I go to Huzhu Palace to have a look later?"
Fortunately, Empress Dowager Yuan didn't mean to blame her, and said warmly: "The real concubine has been very busy these past two days, so it's better for the Aijia to send someone to see her. Besides, after all, Mrs. Melia is pregnant and her body is heavy. Maybe she was pregnant yesterday." I’m tired and couldn’t get up from sleep this morning.”
After saying that, he asked Zhanliu to send someone to Huzhu Palace to inquire, and after saying a few words to Yun Fenghuang and others, they dispersed.
Perhaps because she was worried about Yuan Niang, the Queen Mother did not leave anyone to talk to her that day.
After Yun Fenghuang left Chunhuang Palace, he asked someone to go to Huzhu Palace to inquire about it. Regardless of whether Yuan Fu Niang was really uncomfortable or not, she pretended to be uncomfortable. Since she was now in charge of the palace affairs, she had to act caring and caring for the sisters in the palace. Come.
In the end, she returned to Huanhua Palace, changed into regular clothes, and was about to go into the inner room to catch up on her sleep. The little chamberlain ran out sweating profusely and reported: "Your Majesty, over there at Huzhu Palace... they said it was... I had fetal pressure last night, I’m afraid I’m going to give birth!”
"What?!" Yun Fenghuang, who had just closed his eyes, suddenly opened his eyes. Xie Hengyu, who was waiting at the door, was also shocked: "How could such a good baby have fetal force?!"
The young chamberlain knelt on the ground and said tremblingly: "I didn't get the accurate message. It seems that after Yue Xiuyuan went back yesterday, she became ill inexplicably... But I don't know why I didn't ask anyone to wait on me. Until this morning, the palace maid saw She hesitated to call anyone, worried that she would miss her greetings, so she went in to ask, only to find that Yue Xiuyuan was biting the corner of her quilt and passed out on the bed... When the doctor arrived, she said... that she was about to give birth!"
While talking, Yun Fenghuang had already walked out quickly. Hearing this, he exchanged glances with Xie Hengyu, with one thought in his mind: Could it be... I saw Chunjia defending Yun Fenghuang yesterday, this Yuexiu In anger, what did Yuan eat that she shouldn't have eaten? !
If it were any other concubine, she probably wouldn't be able to do such a crazy thing.
But what Yuan Niang said...
Yun Fenghuang doesn't think it's strange what she does...
"Wait for me to change my clothes." Yun Fenghuang sighed in his heart and ordered the people around him, "Get the chariot ready. I have to go to Huzhu Palace immediately!"
The queen is still "sick". At this time, she must go to Huzhu Palace to take charge.
Although Yuan Yuniang knew that she was waiting outside, she might have been angry for some reason after she was fine... But, well, let Yun Fenghuang just ignore it, she would never let go of the gesture she was supposed to make anyway!
