Yun Fenghuang did not express her thoughts. Xie Hengyu and other attendants were a little worried. It was not because they were afraid that she would be taken away from the imperial concubine without paying attention, but because as a son of a family who had watched the master grow up, he knew very well. The fundamental reason why she is so generous and considerate: she does not have such sincere admiration for Chunjia.
Otherwise, if you look at Xie Fenghuan back then, she was just competing for mother's love, and she would have killed the concubine with a deadly hand.
If the Jiang family hadn't been shrewd and fair, and the mistress of the house had been replaced, Xie Fenghuan would have been taken care of before Yun Fenghuang was ten years old.
Not to mention the love between men and women, which is such a shaky competition
If Yun Fenghuang was really interested in Chunjia, let alone the imperial concubine sending someone to say that Zhao Cairen was not feeling well and take him away, even if Zhao Cairen was about to die one and two, Yun Fenghuang probably wouldn't let him go.
"Your Majesty, I feel that Your Majesty is actually becoming more and more interested in you." Xie Hengyu was influenced by the Jiang family and valued substantial benefits more than illusory feelings. If Yun Fenghuang didn't show his sincerity to the Emperor, he would If she can live a good life, she actually doesn't have any objections.
The problem is that the lintel of the Xie family is too low. Even if it is expected that the Shangzhu will usher in a huge improvement next year, let alone the fact that it has not yet been accomplished, even if it is accomplished, it will not be as good as the Tian family after all.
Not to mention the shallow foundation, it is easy to get up and not difficult to get down, but it still requires hard work.
There is no way to back Yun Fenghuang.
Even for quite some time, I had to continue to rely on Yun Fenghuang.
So, the emperor is not a fool.
Yun Fenghuang's false feelings for him can be deceived in a short time. But over time, when they get to know each other day and night, will he not be able to tell
Coupled with the fact that the master had a history of committing crimes regardless of his life or death, Xie Hengyu and the Qing people looked at each other, their faces expressionless, but their hearts were very heavy. At this moment, they tried to say, "The maids heard that the assassin After the incident came out, the Queen Mother wanted Your Majesty not to come to our place first, lest it be unsafe! It was His Majesty who insisted on coming and stayed in Huanhua Palace."
Yun Fenghuang said: "Can he not come? When I think about this matter for a moment, I know that the regent was angry with the incident at the Mid-Autumn Festival banquet and did it deliberately. I just wanted to pay back the prostitute, and then pestered him. Your Majesty can change places and move out of the Xuanqing Palace without any shame. But if Your Majesty doesn't come, he will seem to be afraid of the Regent's warning this time and will continue to bargain with the Regent. How can he be so tough in his words?"
She fell into deep thought, "The Queen Mother actually made such a suggestion, but she seemed a bit foolish. This is different from my mother's evaluation of her... Well, I understand, maybe it's because Your Majesty is too capable? After taking office, he He suppressed the Ji family in one fell swoop, so that the Empress Dowager lived more and more freely in the palace. Didn't this mean that she acted more and more according to her nature?"
Just like those monarchs in the previous dynasties who were wise and mighty in the early days and then became muddle-headed, the ancients said that they were born in sorrow and died in happiness. This is the truth. When you are in adversity and are faced with constant crises, you can't help but tighten your mind, walking on thin ice, and dare not slack off at all; but after the crisis, everything is smooth sailing, and now you have to reveal your true colors.
In Yun Fenghuang's view, Queen Mother Yuan felt that she could enjoy her old age in peace.
No wonder she began to pity Yuan Niang.
When a person gets older, he or she does not necessarily become soft-hearted.
But as I get older, it’s hard not to start feeling compassion for others and to look down on grudges.
She squinted her eyes and thought about whether there was anything that could be exploited... Son, the regent is an elder who is said to have almost become the crown prince. From my point of view, your majesty’s wealth of gold is more important after all. Your majesty is not willing to shy away from the assassination in Huanhua Palace. Yes, in the final analysis it is because the empress is here. If it were the other people in the palace, Your Majesty would definitely put safety first."
"I am young and beautiful, and I know how to figure out his thoughts." Yun Fenghuang chuckled, "It would be weird if he didn't like me. However, things like the emperor's favor are not particularly important. It's important, but sometimes it's useful to say it's not important. If you can fight for it, fight for it, but don't put it first. In the end, you still have to have enough weight."
If the Ji family continues to thrive, not to mention that Queen Ji will not lose her dignity as the Lord of the Sixth Palace, even if she is as wild and cunning as Yuan Ji Niang, or even worse - what can Chun Jia do
Don’t you have to go against your conscience and say that the queen is good, the queen is wonderful, and the queen is croaking
The situation in the harem when she first entered the palace left a very deep impression on the true concubine. At that time, Queen Ji and Yuan Niang, who were not arrogant and enviable to everyone
The former has family background to rely on, and Empress Dowager Yuan Chunjia does not dare to take away her edge. Matters in the Sixth Palace, except for the occasional intervention by Empress Dowager Ji, are all settled with one word; A man who is 5 or 6 years old can live as naughty and naughty as if he were five or six years old, but the emperor has never changed his infatuation. How many idiots and resentful women have died from envy
As a result, only half a year had passed, the queen had lost power, and Yuan Niang had fallen out of favor... With these two clear examples in front of him, Yun Fenghuang felt that if he still couldn't learn his lesson and fell in love easily, then it would really end badly.
Although she framed her, cursed her concubines, ran against the queen, fought for power, and seized power, she felt that she was a good concubine.
She still wants to die well.
So how can you be sincere with Chun Jia
It would be okay to let Chunjia think that she was sincere.
"... But His Majesty is wise and powerful." Xie Hengyu felt very heavy. She admitted that her master was very smart and astute. Otherwise, how could he rise so quickly and still bring his family with him when he was helpless? But her opponent now is not the prostitutes who grew up in boudoir, but the emperor!
It's not that her ambition to be the emperor destroyed her own prestige. Chunjia's ability is proven by her actual achievements in winning the opportunity to govern under the pressure of many court giants.
Anyway, Xie Hengyu didn't think that Yun Fenghuang could deceive Chunjia for a long time, "Madam, do you think that back then, the Wang family deceived our sixth lady's sincerity with her sweet words and clamored to get married, but the sixth lady couldn't get married. But after all these years, haven’t we just woke up? It’s just that men and women are different. Miss Six regretted it when it was too late, so she had no choice but to bite the bullet and live with him. But His Majesty is not like that!"
When it came to Xie Fenghuan, Yun Fenghuang was also a little distracted.
This concubine was still very young when she fell in love with Wang Shizi. Although she was engaged to Qi Jiulu, she was still in love. Therefore, it is difficult to understand the concubine's behavior of marrying Wang's son even if she dies.
Perhaps it was also because Xie Fenghuan had been so determined to become the Wang Xie family, but ended up with a miserable end and dragged down the two families. Yun Fenghuang always felt that a woman was too infatuated and too willing to sacrifice, and it was difficult for her to end well.
After entering the palace, he saw Yuan Yuniang's downfall with his own eyes.
The experiences of these two people remind her all the time how uncertain it is to place your hope on a man's heart.
She has worked hard to get where she is today, but she doesn't want to ruin the rest of her life by being a slave and a maid because of a moment of confusion and infatuation.
but…
It's really impossible to deceive Chunjia for a long time. Why can't this emperor be a fool who doesn't know how to distinguish rice from rice
Yun Fenghuang feels sorry.
While she was thinking about how to treat Chunjia better in the future, in the Yanlan Palace, Concubine Zheng was speaking to the emperor in a gentle voice: "... Your Majesty, Zhao Cairen is fine, but I am brave enough to take her." I asked Your Majesty to come here to make a raft, but it’s because I know about a major matter that affects the royal family’s reputation and I don’t dare to specialize in it, so I want to report it to Your Majesty privately!”
Chunjia had a lot of feelings about the concubine who entered the palace during her wedding.
But Concubine Zheng has always been dignified and docile, with a measured advance and retreat. Although he doesn't have much affection for her, which is reflected in the fact that he rarely comes over, but when he meets her, he doesn't say that he doesn't give her any face.
At this moment, he said warmly: "My dear concubine, please speak."
"Yes." Concubine Zheng is used to being dignified in front of Chunjia - this is not because she wants to be dignified, but because Chunjia's attitude towards these concubines from the beginning has been polite, unfamiliar and polite. When Zheng Ju made his fortune, because he was a eunuch and was not favored by scholars, he took the rules very seriously.
He was afraid that others would say that he was from a humble background and was not worthy of being a superior person.
Therefore, Concubine Zheng, the niece who was destined to be sent to the palace, had been trained since she was a child to be more cautious in her words and deeds than the ordinary legitimate daughter of a prominent family.
To Chunjia, who never laughed with her, of course she was doubly polite.
In this way, the relationship between her and the emperor has never been as deep as in the past ten years. It is like an acquaintance. They say hello when they meet, but they don't miss them even if they don't meet.
Later, when she grew up, the concubine felt something was wrong and wanted to change it, but she couldn't.
The main emperor is not cooperating, and a newcomer has come up. Concubine Zheng has no choice but to continue to be dignified.
She responded solemnly and said eloquently, "I found out that I was pregnant at the beginning of the year. Not long after, I was still the real concubine of Huzhu Palace. Her personal maid Xinqing disappeared mysteriously on the way back to Huzhu Palace with her. Soon, the body appeared in the lotus pond where I often go for walks, and Xinqing's belongings appeared in Sister Cui's palace...Does Your Majesty still remember this?"
Chunjia said "hmm" and said noncommittally, "continue."
"Yes." Concubine Zheng lowered her eyes and whispered, "I was quite frightened at the time..."
She paused at this point and subconsciously tightened her handkerchief, remembering that she was pregnant at the time. When such a big thing happened, the emperor not only did not rush to Yanlan Palace to comfort her immediately, but then His attitude was also very cold and perfunctory.
Not long ago, Yun Fenghuang was assassinated, and there was no danger. The emperor rushed there immediately, and despite the objections of the Queen Mother, he stayed in Huanhua Palace for half a month before transferring to someone else!
This gap in treatment is too heartbreaking no matter how you analyze and resolve it for yourself.
In terms of appearance and palace, the imperial concubine thinks she is no worse than Yun Fenghuang.
Maybe the difference is that she entered the palace during the emperor's wedding, and she is Zheng Ju's niece
Because she witnessed how humiliating the emperor endured during the eight years of dormancy, and because her uncle still carried the emperor like a light on his back
Concubine Zheng was in a daze for a while, sighed to herself, and then returned to the subject, "In order to prevent something similar from happening, I asked someone to conduct a thorough investigation of Yanlan Palace. I also contacted my uncle to find the person behind the scenes."
Seeing that the emperor remained calm, she pursed her lips and said, "At that time, I was most suspicious of... the queen."
"Then what?" Chunjia then spoke slowly, "But what did you find out about the queen?"
"...I didn't find out what the queen had, otherwise she would have told her a long time ago." Concubine Zheng whispered, "But...I accidentally learned that the real concubine...had a secret meeting with a foreign man!!!"
Chunjia didn't speak for a while.
After a moment, he asked calmly: "Really? How did it go? Please tell me carefully."
