Yun Fenghuang didn't know the ups and downs of Empress Dowager Yuan's heart that day, and he didn't know that the mother and son of the Tian family, who had always been more like their own than their own, had unexpectedly developed a rift.
After she returned to Xuanqing Palace, she handled some palace affairs and sent people to inquire about Queen Ji.
I was secretly relieved when I learned that the queen stayed behind closed doors after returning from Chunhu Palace. The only news was that she sent someone to reward Huzhu Palace with something.
She was really afraid that Queen Ji would stand up and fight for power with her.
In other words, she was really worried that if Empress Ji stepped forward now, Empress Dowager Yuan would deliberately allow Empress Ji to take back the power of the Sixth Palace, forcing Yun Fenghuang to go to Chunjia to intercede with Yuan Mei and her son.
Then she would be in a dilemma.
At this time, Chen Zhu came to report in person: "Mother, the Empress Dowager went to Taichu Palace just now. I don't know what she said to Your Majesty. Now, the emperor went to Huzhu Palace alone!"
"Just go." Yun Fenghuang said nonchalantly, "My loving mother, the Queen Mother, has personally come forward to intercede. Your Majesty is so pure and filial, why can't you give me face? Besides, why don't you just take a look? Just go to the Huzhu Palace. With your temper, it’s surprising that Your Majesty can stay there.”
Thinking that every time Yuan Yu was angry, the emperor would go to visit her and she would be treated as a punching bag. Chen Zhu smiled knowingly: "That's what the emperor said."
Sure enough, not long after, the maid guarding the gate of Huanhua Palace ran in and reported that Chunjia was here.
"Your Majesty." Yun Fenghuang put down what he was doing and went out to greet him. Seeing that Chun Jia's face was ashen, the original three-point smile on his face quickly disappeared. He stepped forward to greet him and asked seriously, "Your Majesty, what is this?"
"I just went to see Yuan's mother and son." Although Chunjia had stopped hiding her love for Yuan Mei in front of Yun Fenghuang a long time ago, she was not as fond as others thought, but after all, they grew up together and always called her by her best name, "Mei". "Mother", this was the first time she was addressed as "Yuan family", which showed how furious he was. He quickly walked into the room, sat down at the head of the room, and when he turned around, the corners of his robe seemed to draw a sharp arc.
After taking a sip of the tea handed over by Yun Fenghuang himself, Fang suppressed his anger and said in a deep voice, "Ms. Yuan said resentful words, saying that it was me who harmed the two of them—"
"This is really nonsense!" Yun Fenghuang was immediately filled with righteous indignation, "Who in the former harem doesn't know the favor your Majesty and the Queen Mother have for Yue Xiuyuan?! Even though I am now very proud of myself in the palace, I dare not hide it from Your Majesty. , every time I think about Yue Xiuyuan, why don’t I feel envious? Yue Xiuyuan is deeply blessed by the emperor’s grace, but she still says such confusing words, it’s really... It’s really... "
She couldn't find the right words for a moment, and Chunjia responded coldly: "Repaying kindness with hatred is unreasonable!"
Yun Fenghuang thought to himself, you said this yourself, don't regret it later and blame me for sowing discord.
She then no longer seconded the proposal, but Xiaoyi stepped forward to give the emperor a pat on the back, and persuaded: "Your Majesty is the Supreme One, why do you need to be as familiar with Yue Xiuyuan as a concubine? Your body is more important, Your Majesty, don't think about that. ”
Chunjia put the tea cup heavily on the table, but her anger remained unabated and said: "Ah Huang, Yuan is very hateful, but she is deeply pitied by the queen mother. What do you think I should do with her?!"
"..." Yun Fenghuang was startled by the sudden sound of "Ahuang". He came back to his senses for a moment and considered his words, "This... the concubine disrespects His Majesty. According to the rules... he will be reprimanded, grounded, and forfeited." For example; if it is serious, he will be removed from the throne and relegated to the cold palace. It is just that your majesty allows me to tell the truth: Although Yuan has broken your majesty's heart again and again, after all, she is his childhood sweetheart and the direct relative of the loving mother and empress dowager. My niece has just given birth... If the responsibility is heavy, not only will the empress dowager, my loving mother, feel uncomfortable, but everyone in the world will also guess that your majesty has despised Xingningbo Mansion."
She thought to herself, if Chunjia still couldn't calm down after hearing these words, she might as well even dislike Xingning's mansion and the Queen Mother Yuan...
Unfortunately this is not possible.
I didn’t know that Chunjia originally thought so too, but now that I was borrowing a donkey from the slope, I still listened to her persuasion. After being silent for a while, she nodded: "What my beloved concubine said is absolutely true."
Now I call her my concubine again.
It was as if the "Ahuang" just shouted out unintentionally.
But Yun Fenghuang didn't dare to let down her guard. Not many people called her "Ahuang", mainly because Qi Jiulu called her that.
For others, the peers call her "Sister Seventeen" or "Sister Seventeen" according to the order; the elders call her Xiao Shiqi to distinguish the Seventeen Young Masters who are ranked separately for men and women of the same generation - her Seventeenth cousin is called Seventeen Sometimes when Jiang was coaxing her, he would shout out of order, which were usually the words "heart", "my son", "my life" and so on when ordinary parents love their children.
Of course, because Yun Fenghuang and Qi Jiulu were childhood sweethearts and had been engaged since childhood, some of the people who played together occasionally called her "Ahuang" after Qi Jiulu, but that was all teasing, and they were more accustomed to other names.
So Yun Fenghuang didn't show it on his face at the moment, but he was actually a little panicked in his heart.
Who knows if the emperor heard about it and took this opportunity to test her
She felt that she couldn't show that she cared about this title. She had to make it look like it was very casual. Many people called her that, and it wasn't special at all!
Therefore, as if nothing had happened, as if she didn't realize that the emperor had just addressed her differently, she continued to give him advice: "Your Majesty, I think it's better to ask your loving mother, the Queen Mother, to make the decision for your Majesty in this matter?"
You want to punish Yuan Niang, but it prevents Queen Mother Yuan from punishing her too harshly. If the punishment is light, you will feel uncomfortable - then simply push the matter to Queen Mother Yuan!
Although this Queen Mother is not your biological mother, the relationship between you two is so good, closer than your biological mother. How can the Queen Mother not be attracted to you
That's what she thought, and she was quite surprised why Chunjia wouldn't think of this. As a result, Chunjia listened and was silent for a moment, but then asked as if she was talking to herself: "Will the Queen really turn to me?"
"...Of course." Yun Fenghuang was startled when he heard this, feeling that he had vaguely grasped something, "In the heart of the Queen Mother, you are the most important, how can Yue Xiuyuan deserve to compare with you?"
Chunjia smiled when he heard this, did not answer the words, but changed his expression with interest, and said: "My beloved concubine seems to have a lot of experience in the competition between brothers and sisters, and she is especially good at shirking what she wants to do to others. Will the elders do the work for you?"
Yun Fenghuang glanced at his expression at this moment, but in just two words, the previous gloom had completely disappeared, as if he had never been angry for Yuan Yuniang.
She thought to herself that this person was really scary, and her defenses deepened a bit. She changed her tone to a coquettish tone to match the relaxation of the atmosphere: "Oh, it's not like your Majesty doesn't know that when I was young, I had quite a few years. When I was ignorant, I used all kinds of tricks to compete with my concubine for favor... Will I stop doing that when I grow up?"
"I think you have become more and more adept at competing for favors as you grow up." Chunjia said with a smile, "Otherwise, in the Three Palaces and Sixth Courtyard, why would I like to end up here like you?"
Yun Fenghuang asked in surprise: "Isn't it that I am a virtuous and kind-hearted person who is considerate and the best talker in this palace, and my appearance is beautiful, which is pleasing to your Majesty's eyes? That's why Your Majesty likes to come to my place?" After all, in terms of intelligence, how can I hide this little bit of my heart from His Majesty? If I am someone who is good at playing tricks, how can I catch His Majesty's attention? "
"..." Chunjia looked at her, suddenly stretched out his hand, rubbed the top of her head vigorously, and scattered the delicate snake bun, causing all the hairpin rings to fall off. Seeing this, she hurriedly retreated - just He didn't mean to continue. He leaned over to pick up the hairpin beads and flowers for her, put them on the small table, and said with a smile, "I know why I am willing to come to your place. You have such a mouth, you can laugh at the jokes." I am happy!"
Yun Fenghuang was unconvinced: "What I said is the truth, why did it become a joke?"
Chunjia smiled and said: "That's all, I won't tell you this. I'm here on business right now. You and your concubine have something interesting to say about the things in the boudoir. Let me listen. What's going on with the Imperial City Division?" .”
What does the Imperial City Division want with this
Yun Fenghuang was a little confused. Seeing this, Chunjia gave a brief explanation: "When this matter caused such a big fuss in the North, even if I sent an imperial envoy to overturn the case, I still had to create some momentum to avoid being considered as bullying others. , unjustly accused the innocent.”
This is true.
Yun Fenghuang thought about it and told him something about the tender relationship between himself and Xie Fenghuan, which could not only show Xie's strictness in raising her daughter, but also reflect Xie Fenghuan's nature of kindness, filial piety, friendship, loyalty, well-behaved and virtuous nature. … - Chunjia listened and asked, and unknowingly the topic came to how she used different methods to target this concubine when she was a child. The emperor was very good at using formulas, and Yun Fenghuang was thinking about that "A Huang" again. , can’t help but be a little distracted.
When she came to her senses, she had already told at least seven or eight past stories about how she cheated Xie Fenghuan. They were all the kind of tricks where she would go to her elders to cry out and complain after the frame-up was over.
…How can I continue to be a virtuous and virtuous person in the future? !
Yun Fenghuang thought sadly, as expected, the emperor said he was angry and came here to seek comfort from me. This was just out of good intentions!
She was seriously suspecting that Chunjia's dislike of Yuan Niang this time was just a pretense, and the real purpose was to touch her and even prepare to kill her in the future, but Chunjia smiled and pinched her face: "My beloved concubine was a child. He is really naughty, just like he is now."
But he got up and said that it was almost time to go and greet the Queen Mother Yuan. Otherwise, the Queen Mother would be worried if she never went to the Queen Mother Yuan after leaving Huzhu Palace.
Yun Fenghuang secretly grinded his teeth. Just now, he looked afraid that Queen Mother Yuan would love her niece more than the son she raised and the niece she raised. Now, she finally showed her filial nature again.
Chunjia couldn't tell whether she was sincere or fake about him. In fact, how could she guess this man's emotions, which moment was true and which moment was false
Mr. Xie is right, it is not easy to be the imperial concubine of the imperial dynasty!
Watching the emperor drive away, Yun Fenghuang shook his head melancholy, turned around and ordered Chen Zhu: "Someone should tell Yuan Meiren a message. Choose someone who is smart and can't involve us. Tell Yuan Beauty, Your Majesty has rejected Yue Xiuyuan, but it is difficult for her to do anything because of her loving mother, the Queen Mother. If she doesn’t want to waste her youthful years in the palace... If she misses this opportunity, I’m afraid there won’t be another one!”
Although I was quite panicked, I always suspected that Chunjia would turn around and fall out with her the next moment.
They deprived her of her concubine status and threw her into the cold palace, and even gave her a poisonous wine and white silk...
but!
Isn’t that time yet
So you still have to make trouble!
Taking advantage of Yuan's illness, he killed Yuan's mother.
There was no way, although Yue Xiuyuan seemed to be exhausted, but who told her to have a good aunt
In order to prevent her from making a comeback with the help of the Queen Mother, Yun Fenghuang will never allow her to live!
In the eyes of Empress Dowager Yuan, Yun Fenghuang is enough among the "good boys" among the concubines.
Any more will be damned.
