"The Queen Mother is happy and angry." Headed by Xie Hengyu, a group of close servants knelt in the east of the hall to persuade, "Although the Queen Mother has a punishment, since it has been postponed until the first month of the next year, it shows that there is no room for mediation. Just ask for help. The monthly banquet went well, maybe the Empress Dowager will not mention it again... Besides, the Yingfei, no, Gu was demoted to the ninth concubine, which shows that in the eyes of the Empress Dowager and Bidong, that was not a mistake. No, that's Gu!"
Yun Fenghuang had a gloomy face and threw a bottle in his lap to the east of the stairs. The flying broken porcelain made the waiters crawl forward even more.
She stared at everyone for a moment, took a few deep breaths, and then said, "Everyone, get up."
Xie Hengyu and Chen Zhu were the first to get up, and the others got up tremblingly.
"The Danyue Banquet is coming soon, and all the preparations have been made, but you are not responsible for handling it from beginning to end." Xie Hengyu supported Yun Fenghuang in front of him, walked slowly on the rose chair, and whispered , "With that eye attached to the bone, no matter whether it is the Queen Mother or the Emperor, no one else can replace the Queen's authority..."
Yun Fenghuang let out a breath, waved his legs to make everyone else retreat, and then said calmly: "Don't worry, I don't know what they are thinking? I just had an attack, can you show it to the empress dowager who is a loving mother?" "
She sneered slightly, "The Empress Dowager, a loving mother, was partial to me and Zhao Rong earlier. Recently, she has become more and more dissatisfied with me. Not to mention the previous instigation of harmony between me and Zhao Rong, this time... She seems to be delaying the punishment of me, but in the final analysis, it’s up to you! Otherwise, I’m afraid she would like to deal with me immediately!”
"Is it possible that in the palace..." Xie Hengyu's words were interrupted by Yun Fenghuang: "The people in the palace don't have any suitable people to replace me now, but it won't necessarily be the case when new people come in after the New Year. !”
Xie Hengyu was startled and said: "Can we add someone next year..."
Yun Fenghuang said: "That's why the loving empress dowager will tolerate this palace for more than half a year! After all, since Bi Dong's wedding, at the beginning of next year, it will be the first time for a large number of new people to come in. The reason is that the emperor has no heirs. Therefore, Even though they failed to recruit noble girls and choose good families, the government and the opposition in the east would not say anything, but thought it should be so."
"When the Empress Dowager Dong Yi's decree was rejected, Dong Yi had not yet taken charge. After all, the people in this palace are inextricably linked to the Ji family."
"Speaking of Xue Xiaoge and others, they are the concubines selected by Didong. Who knows whether they are mixed with sand?"
"Ever since Bidong came to power, the Ji family has gradually lost power, and even Empress Ruming has been ill... My mother thinks that the loving mother Queen Mother and Bidong will tolerate the harem and continue to maintain the current status, Ji family , the regent, the situation where concubines from the Cui family and the Zheng family occupy high positions, even if they are not favored? ! "
She sighed deeply and said, "Do they want to change the harem all over in the east? If there were already people in the harem at the beginning of the year, it would be unavoidable to say that the first thing after the emperor took office was to add people again... It seems that Bidong is in a hurry. Chunjia is so dedicated to accumulating the reputation of a wise king, how can he be willing to do something like that to give others a handle?"
Xie Hengyu was frightened when he heard the lack of respect in Chunjia's words: "My dear, please don't do that!"
Does that mean we no longer want to live anymore, so we have no fear? ?
Yun Fenghuang didn't see what she was thinking. He sneered and said to himself: "So no matter how impatient they are, they must endure it next year! But it will be different next year. Anyway, they can be like me. In this way, the power of acting queen does not matter how well the work is done, at least it does not make mistakes, nor can it be raised by a humble family! It does not need to be chosen by the whole country, but it needs to be selected from big families, so the degree of mobilizing troops is not small. Just a little bit!"
"Mom, let's just watch. Next year, um, didn't the loving mother-in-law, the Queen Mother, say that she will settle accounts with me after the first month? It seems that she is almost planning to propose new people at that time... By then, it will be useless for me to make them wrong. Well, Empress Ji’s Ruming will ruin the future of this palace!”
Before Xie Hengyu could speak, she added, "Oh, I overestimate myself - Empress Ji is not the legitimate daughter of the Ji family, nor is she the wife of Chun Jia. Even if she loses power, she must be honored." Keep it up, can I get that kind of treatment? I don’t want to be thrown into the cold palace. If the empress dowager, my loving mother, becomes cruel, I won’t be surprised if she has three feet of red silk."
"My Majesty, don't be like that." Xie Hengyu comforted in a low voice with a sour heart, "Things have not reached that point. Besides, how can you compare the Queen with you? There is no friendship between the Queen and Bidong. On the contrary, there is no discipline. When you were in power, you often did arrogant and domineering things, overriding the emperor... It is natural for Bidong to dislike them. But during the months you spent with Bidong, the maids could see clearly that Bidong Even if you are wrong for not showing your heart and soul, please tell me that you don’t have any true feelings at all.”
"Your Majesty, you haven't done anything outrageous. How could Bidong just... be so heartless with you because of such a small grudge?"
"That's not possible."
"Don't think about those things that annoy you... Maybe after tomorrow, Yue Bidong was so angry that he came to our place?"
Yun Fenghuang sneered and said: "Do I want Chunjia to come over? Don't worry, I hope this palace will be as expected. He will come tomorrow. After all, I cannot replace Yandong, and he will not win over me." Do you want to focus on me? He doesn’t know if I am a virtuous and gentle person like Zhao Rong. It really makes me feel that I have no way to go, and I don’t know the consequences!”
He also said, "If I feel that my worries are unfounded, let's look at Jie Donglai: Is the punishment of this palace said by the loving mother the Queen Mother herself? It turns out that when I came back, I got angry and broke many things. When the news reached the ears of the loving mother the Queen Mother, According to common sense, how can she not be angry? Even if the Danyue Banquet is coming soon and it is difficult to spread the news that she is not happy with me, it is not a matter of course to summon the private owner to question and ask the emperor to report the rebuke. "
"But if she keeps silent and pretends she doesn't know, then she's basically ready for a replacement, and there's no need to bother with me!"
Xie Hengyu's heart was as sharp as a knife after hearing this, and he secretly wondered whether he would be wronged by his old master's advice that time. He really couldn't persuade the master to seek death. It turned out that he heard Yun Fenghuang say coldly: "It's their mother's fault." If they want to tear down the bridge, they have to ask me whether I want to build the bridge. Think about when I first entered the palace, and all the way to the Ming Dynasty, how did I rely on anyone's active pity?! I really don't think there is a bright moon in this palace, but it is none of them. The two ladies gave alms?!"
Can she actually win the battle in the palace, instead of relying on doting on the beloved concubine who is in power!
Just because the steps in the middle were smoother, it must be due to Chunjia's compassion. That compassion was earned through careful planning, chanting, and hard work.
Could it be that Chunjia took the initiative to discover and give.
It’s not that easy to just throw it away after you use it!
Xie Hengyu was speechless. He was a little uncomfortable with her train of thought. He was stunned for a moment before saying, "Does your Majesty mean...?"
"It's been a few months since Meng'er came to the palace. It's not good for a child to be away from his parents for a long time." Yun Fenghuang narrowed his eyes and said calmly, "I'll pack her things later and send her back. Mom, I'll go and send her back in person. , and then wait until no one is around..."
She was silent for a while, then continued in a low voice, "Ask my sister-in-law if there is any way to contact the Prince Regent's Palace privately."
Xie Hengyu said in surprise: "Prince Regent's Palace? How could the Thirteenth Young Lady have such a method?!"
"How could it not be?" Yun Fenghuang reminded her, "Sister-in-law Thirteen is the daughter of the Chen family and Qi Jiulu's biological mother. She should be called cousin of course! As for the relationship between Qi Jiulu and the Regent's Palace, I don't need to mention it. We should also know about it. stop?"
"But that's too..." Xie Hengyu had a look of embarrassment on his face. She did not think that Yun Fenghuang's actions were wrong for Chunjia and disloyalty, and for those who wanted to do so were wrong for Qi Jiulubu Yuanping - after all, he was not Yun Fenghuang's person. Of course, Yun Fenghuang’s interests should be considered first—does it mean that the Xie family’s descendants should go on a boat at the Regent’s Palace even though they have already decided on a good future
The regent is not a fuel-efficient lamp!
"Mom, I want to be rude." Yun Fenghuang explained patiently, "There were many Donghan families that day, and our Xie family was not the only one of the big families in the North. Are there others like ours? Pretty much the same, are you willing to join Bidong? Why do both the candidates for the new Jinshi and the Master Shang belong to the Xie family? In the final analysis, it is very difficult to rely on this palace.
"If it is clear that my position is not stable, I think the promises made by Lord Bi before are very accurate?"
"Of course, I don't believe in the talents of these brothers. Even if there is no hint from Bi Dong as the examiner, they will probably be able to go to high school. But not to mention that after losing the opportunity of Master Shang, Xie's family status will not be able to improve quickly. Talking about the people and things that I have offended since I entered the palace, I think that once I lose power, there will be fewer people who fall into the trap?"
"When the time comes, will my brothers join the official posts in Bufu or return to their hometowns? Will there be peace?"
"The situation is like this. For our family, if we don't advance, we will retreat!"
"We have no choice at all - if Bidong is reliable, then of course it is the best; but now that Bidong is unreliable, why don't we find a way out in advance?!"
"At least if the power of taking over the Sixth Palace is in my hands, and the news of the demotion has not yet been spread, I will not disapprove of the true concubine who is arrogant in the Sixth Palace in the eyes of outsiders. And my brother in the family is not tacitly understood by everyone. Yue Xinggui... I said, should I go to negotiate business with others and ask for a high price at that time? Why don't I wait until I fall out of favor and my brothers have disappeared from everyone, and then I can ask for favors and ask for a higher price... No, at that time, we are very qualified to negotiate the price? "
"At that time, we will treat each other as flesh and blood!"
Xie Hengyu felt cold sweat on his forehead. He didn't even bother to wipe it off before he solemnly bowed to the ground: "My maid must bring this message to the Thirteenth Young Madam!"
Yun Fenghuang nodded: "Tell her my analysis just now, word for word, so that she won't take it seriously and refuse to do her best."
Moreover, Xiao Chen can know that this matter could not be done by Yun Fenghuang alone, but also by Xiao Chen's husband's family, her husband, children, and even her own future.
Of course, Xie Hengyu didn't know that the reason why Yun Fenghuang arranged for Xiao Chen to reconnect with the Regent's Palace was not only because of the relationship between the sister-in-law and Chen, which provided a channel for contact; but also because of such a request. All the contact clues are through Chen's internal body, not Xie's.
Then once the news leaked out, she would leave her car to protect her handsomeness anytime and anywhere, and distance herself from herself...
After all, Chunjia Ming was not what it used to be, so Yun Fenghuang had to think about defeat before winning.
She lamented again, then why couldn't the emperor be a fool who couldn't tell the difference between rice and rice
Then she could even consider Si Chen.
It's not like now, being a concubine who only cares about people's looks, she has to worry all the time about being replaced by someone else.
Then he asked Xie Hengyu to give some instructions, trying to make Xiao Chen feel the baked dough as much as possible, so that he could go all out. Yun Fenghuang looked at the mess in the palace and said in a gentle tone: "It's done, let's Let them come in and clean up."
It turned out that when she went back to the back palace, the people in the front palace had not cleaned up the two things, and Chunjia came.
