The principals are still on their way to belatedly arriving. Among the concubines in the side palace, the highest is the third-grade concubine, followed by the fourth-grade Ronghua, the next the fourth-grade noble, and then the fifth-grade beauty.
Because Emperor Chunjia's harem was thin, there was only one concubine named Yan, who entered the palace just before the emperor's wedding and lived with Mrs. Yaoning. Ronghua had two concubines, and Concubine Xin's concubine was Dong. , is as old as the Yan family, and the Wei family from the Yijia Palace is one of the noble ladies hired this time; it is said that the noble lady had two in the past, and they both "died suddenly" in the Huzhu Palace. , currently empty; there was a beauty at this level but it disappeared due to various reasons. The existing ones are newly sealed this year. Including Yun Fenghuang, there are two Yun Meiren and one Xue Meiren, a total of three I am relatively prosperous personally...
Of course, apart from Yun Fenghuang, there is only one Wei family present here now.
After all, everyone else follows the lord in and out, so there is no lord in the Wei Palace. Yun Fenghuang gave the lord a grounding as soon as he entered the palace. Today, he didn't go to Concubine Shu to please him, so he just knew Appear here.
Now the concubines wanted to look good to Yun Fenghuang, and they wanted the Wei family to take the lead. So after some squabbling, the concubine in a silver-red shirt next to Yun Fenghuang raised her voice and said: "This new The sister who came here is in front of Wei Ronghua, why don't you come forward to greet her?"
She thought that if Yun Fenghuang was not angry, he would definitely ask them why they did not pay tribute to her, a new beauty, and then she would argue that it was appropriate for Yun Fenghuang to meet Wei Ronghua first, and then he could accept the gifts from them.
However, Wei Ronghua could have chatted a few words while Yun Fenghuang was greeting her, so that when it was time to go to the main hall to greet the queen, Yun Fenghuang would have suffered this loss in vain.
It's not that they can only think of such childish tricks to deal with Yun Fenghuang, but because Yunfenghuang has a higher status than most of them. Moreover, he is a girl from the Shufei clan and a member of the Duke of Yi Kingdom. The one she brought in seemed to be favored by Emperor Chunjia... The concubines were not as well-informed as the concubines, so they were even more confused about the situation in the palace. I heard from hearsay that she looked very powerful, so I wanted to say something. , but I don’t want to make things worse.
This is Yeonbokgung Palace after all.
Unexpectedly, when Yun Fenghuang heard this, he said without raising his head: "My legs are numb and I can't get up, so I can only neglect Wei Ronghua."
Wei Ronghua, who was still thinking about how to exercise discretion, suddenly laughed angrily after hearing this: "When the beauty walked in just now, you couldn't tell that her legs were numb at all!"
"Yes, my legs were not numb just now. Will they become numb after sitting for a while?" Yun Fenghuang said leisurely, "Does Wei Ronghua think that I am deliberately neglecting you? You really think too much, I am the queen. How could the empress, who has praised her for being sensible and polite, do such a boring thing?"
Wei Ronghua was about to say when did the Empress ever praise you like this? Doesn't the Empress have any conscience? Then I thought about it, oh, yes, there was the decree for the promotion yesterday... But when the queen promoted the concubine to the throne, it was not all those clichés, such as Zhong Ling, Yu Xiu, dignified and virtuous... It was so shameless to mention this. OK!
Her heart changed and she narrowed her eyes: "Oh? But people like me come here to sit in the side hall every day. They have never said anything about their numb legs in these many days. Does the beauty think the chairs here are not good? Or... "
He chuckled and paused deliberately, "What... um, thoughts about Yanfu Palace?"
"Of course I have a lot of thoughts about Yanfu Palace." Yun Fenghuang said lazily, "For example, I think about how to serve the Queen better, how to share the Queen's worries, and wait a moment Seeing the beauty of the Queen, how should you control yourself so as not to lose your composure... Don't you think so?"
Wei Ronghua and others looked at her dumbfounded. To be honest, because of Empress Ji's identity and the power of the Ji family, there were as many people in the palace who wanted to please the empress as there were crucian carp crossing the river. But at least they did it tactfully and implicitly, anyway. Be a bit cheeky!
Could someone like Yun Fenghuang be more shameless
"I..." Wei Ronghua calmed down and then said melancholy, "Of course I think so too."
Yun Fenghuang looked at her distrustfully: "Rong Hua is lying, right? Rong Hua just said that you have come to sit in this side hall every day, and you have never felt numbness in your legs! What does this mean? What does it say about your thoughts? It's not about the empress at all. I saw it when I came in. You all gathered together in twos and threes, chatting about this and that. You were as happy as anything, and you didn't mean to feel sorry for your empress at all... If you really put your empress in front of you... In my heart, I should be like my concubine. Because I was so absorbed in thinking, I didn’t even notice that my legs were numb. She was still the sister just now... "
She glanced at her lower head and saw that the concubine was looking at her nose and heart, wishing she could bury her head in her clothes for fear of being pointed out by her. Yun Fenghuang sneered without revealing it, and continued to say to Wei Ronghua, " If it hadn't been for the reminder from the younger sister just now, I wouldn't have even noticed that Wei Ronghua was here, which shows that except for the queen, there are no other chores for cats and dogs in my heart!"
… I am a chore for cats and dogs? ?
Wei Ronghua took a deep breath, and then took another deep breath. Yun Qingman, the biological sister of Concubine Shu and the biological daughter of Duke Yi, was only a beauty when she first entered the palace; But he was granted the title of Ronghua, which shows the strength of his family background!
In fact, the reason why she was assigned to live in Yijia Palace, which has no master position, is because the superiors have already agreed that Yijia Palace will be taken care of by her in the future.
It can be said that among their group, she is the one with the clearest and clearest future.
After all, although Yun Qingman and Xue Xiaoge had their sisters and cousins to rely on as soon as they entered the palace, they would also be under the control of these two people in the future. Even if they gave birth to an heir, it would be difficult to get rid of this state of relying on their sisters. Only Wei Ronghua is one of the future giants scheduled!
So even if she knew that Yun Fenghuang was not a fuel-efficient lamp and had Concubine Shu as her backer, why should she, Wei Hengyan, swallow her anger!
"What my sister said makes sense..." Wei Hengyan pursed his lips, then suddenly took a sip of tea in front of him and threw it at Yun Fenghuang's face!
Since the first rank of nobles in the palace was now vacant, the two people's seats were connected. Something unexpected happened. The maid of Yanfu Palace at the entrance of the palace noticed something was wrong and tried to stop it, but it was too late. At the critical moment, Yun Fenghuang had quick eyes and quick hands and pulled her away. The concubine in the silver and red shirt passed by and blocked herself!
The concubine didn't expect this at all, and screamed subconsciously. Before she could finish her words, she was kicked hard on the bend of her knee. Her staggering steps suddenly lost her balance, and she screamed and killed Wei Hengyan. The chair fell to the ground.
... A moment later, Yun Fenghuang, neatly dressed and well-groomed, knelt down on His Highness's side. On her left was Wei Hengyan, who was in disheveled clothes and had a big bruise on his cheek. He was covering his eyes with a handkerchief and crying hoarsely; on the right was Wei Hengyan. The dress was stained with large tea stains, and the concubine in the silver-red shirt was rubbing her wrists vigorously.
"..." Empress Ji on the phoenix throne rubbed her forehead and ordered, "Wei Ronghua, tell me first, what's going on?"
"Yun Meiren said her legs were numb." Wei Hengyan was not completely brainless. He was just relying on his family background to deceive others. He had thought of a good reason before taking action. "I heard someone say before that if my legs are numb, just scare me, so I just wanted to grab the tea and pour it on Yun Meiren to help her recover quickly, so as not to make a fool of myself when I went to greet the empress. Who knows, I didn't control the strength of my skills well, and accidentally threw it out... As a result, Yun Meiren was very vicious. He grabbed Gui Cai by his feet and knocked me to the ground!"
She cried and added, "Although I didn't expect to miss, I made sure before doing it. The tea in my tea bowl was cold but not hot. It shows that I definitely didn't mean to harm Yun Meiren. How could I know that Yun Beauty... Yun Meiren..."
Wei Hengyan really didn't want to persecute Yun Fenghuang. After all, the enmity between the two parties was not that deep. Secondly, she was worried that she would be given a ruthless impression just after entering the palace, which would be detrimental to her future. Look at how many cards Concubine Yue has in her hand. Just because she couldn't suppress her jealousy, she acted cruelly, and her reputation in the palace was as good as being a cannibal.
No one from top to bottom said anything good about her.
Even the Yuan family of Fuyang, her natal family, was in disgrace... Wei Hengyan had been repeatedly warned by his family before entering the palace, so naturally he would not make the same mistake as Concubine Yue.
Anyway, based on her family background, as long as things don't go too far and the situation is reasonable, the big guys in the palace will never cause her to suffer.
Sure enough, although Empress Ji knew what was going on, she still frowned when she heard this and asked Yun Fenghuang: "What about you? As a beauty, you don't want to serve His Majesty properly, but you treat Gong Wei sisters like this, how unbecoming it is!"
This sentence was just to favor Wei Hengyan and was not very harsh. However, the queen thought that the new beauty in front of her should be given a good beating, so she frowned and said, "Yesterday, the empress dowager, a loving mother, praised you for being an understanding woman." You're right, that's why I promoted you to the position of beauty, how come it's only been a day and you've revealed your true colors?!"
Wei Hengyan and Gui Cairen heard the awe-inspiring meaning in the Queen's words, and they secretly rejoiced. They secretly prayed that the Queen would just demote Yun Fenghuang back to Chenggui. Then let's see how arrogant and arrogant she can be!
"Empress, Your Majesty went to Su Rong Palace by yourself yesterday. He didn't mention Yijia Palace. There's nothing I can do about it!" Yun Fenghuang looked aggrieved and said, "Wei Ronghua wants to take this matter to vent his anger. Concubine, what can I say?"
Before Wei Hengyan and Gui Cairen could speak to defend themselves, she immediately added, "Otherwise, many of the sisters in the side hall were talking affectionately to each other. Only when they saw me entering, they first ignored me. They were whispering to each other, but in the end Wei Ronghua, the talented person, was willing to talk to me, but he was trying to find trouble both inside and outside of his words... But I had no enmity with them, why would you do this to me when you are so good? After much thought It must be because His Majesty went to Xi Xing Pavilion first and then to Surong Palace last night, and they thought it was the Su Rong Palace that I recommended Your Majesty to go to!"
The newly minted beauty raised her head pitifully and looked at the queen with big watery eyes, "My queen, do you think this is an unjust death? Where do I have the ability? This palace is full of people who serve your majesty. Your majesty is willing to go Where...is there any room for my concubine?"
"Mother, Miss Yun is talking nonsense!" Wei Hengyan and Guicai had seen what it means to talk nonsense out of thin air, and they almost wanted to vomit blood, "I just feel that Miss Yun is unruly, so I want to give her a little beating. It has nothing to do with where your Majesty stayed last night!"
The Gui Cai man then said: "Yunmei's status is lower than that of Rong Hua. According to the rules, after entering the side hall, one should salute to Rong Hua first, and then the concubine and the others should salute to Rong Hua... The concubine and the others have always been in the palace. This is what they do when they are waiting for summons in the side hall. Yun Meiren regards Rong Hua as if she and the concubine are nothing. No matter whether she is the concubine or Rong Hua, they all think about it for the sake of being sisters in the palace. I took the initiative to remind you. But instead of paying attention, Yun Meiren lied about her numb legs and neglected Rong Hua. Madam, it shows that Yun Meiren seems to be respectful, but in fact she is loose and rude, and is not worthy of the praise of the loving mother, the Queen Mother, and the Queen Mother!"
So the promotion of that beauty of hers should be revoked, revoked, revoked, revoked...
"Empress!" Gui Cai's thoughts were still lingering, but Yun Fenghuang said, "I'm wronged! I did have numb legs just now, so when Wei Ronghua made an unusual move, I pulled Gui Cai's hand up in fear. I hope She can help persuade me! Otherwise, why don’t I get up and run away?”
Then he pointed to Xin Qing, who was kneeling behind him, "I just came here to kneel down, and I was supported by the palace staff. Gui Cai is simply confusing right and wrong, please understand the truth and clear my name!"
… How can you have the nerve to be innocent
Don’t I know that you have been doing Qiao Zhang from beginning to end
Empress Ji twitched the corner of her mouth, not bothering to listen to their quarrel any longer, and directly announced the outcome: "Wei Ronghua, Yun Meiren, and Gui Cairen behaved inappropriately in Yanfu Palace. They should have been severely punished, considering that all three of them were new to the palace. , I’m still young, so let’s take a gentle punishment for the time being!”
The meaning of being given a lighter sentence is that Wei Ronghua was fined half a month's salary, Gui Cai Ren copied the female precepts ten times, and the newly promoted Yun Meiren...
The queen pondered for a moment and said, "Previously, the leader of Huzhu Palace violated his etiquette and was punished by being grounded. Yun Meiren will be grounded for a month just like the leader."
After saying this, Wei Ronghua and Gui Cairen, who were still a little angry at first, suddenly became happy. They didn't care about their own shamelessness and smiled sarcastically at Yun Fenghuang: Although Concubine Yue was banned, everyone knows that Emperor Chunjia She must have tried every means to secretly visit and comfort her, and Empress Dowager Yuan would not be stingy in taking care of her. Moreover, Concubine Yue was the one in the Emperor's heart. Even if she had been locked up in Ningbi Hall, the treatment that a concubine should receive would not be worse.
But Yun Fenghuang
Hahaha.
