Chunjia only thought that Yun Fenghuang must be in a bad mood at the moment. When he came in, he deliberately kept it quiet and planned to quietly observe how angry the concubine was now. However, when he entered the door, he saw the ground was in a mess, with broken porcelain everywhere. The floor was stained with tea and other stains, and several tables and chairs were overturned.
He couldn't help but look a little more solemn...
This scene is very tricky!
"Your Majesty, forgive me!" But this was misunderstood by the palace servants in Huanhua Palace. Dancai, who was instructing the palace servants to wipe, hurriedly came over and knelt down to apologize, "It's all because of the negligence of the maidservants, and they caused a few civet cats to jump around. They came in, chased and played in the main hall, and the maidservants knocked over many things in order to drive them away... Please punish me, Your Majesty!"
But we must not let the emperor feel that his wife is resentful!
Dan'e thought so and started to lie, "Fortunately, the empress was behind me when she came back and was not frightened."
"...It doesn't matter." Wasn't it the real concubine who threw it
That's okay.
Chunjia felt relaxed immediately and waved her hand to let her get up, "Where is the true concubine?"
"I dare not take your Majesty's words seriously." At this time, Yun Fenghuang had already received the news. He happened to hear this question and immediately responded sarcastically, "Your Majesty, have you forgotten? What the loving mother Empress Dowager just said, I can now She is no longer a true concubine! Do you still have to worry about your majesty’s title for this lady? Or is it because your majesty is too busy with all the other things to do, so I can get one myself?”
"How did you develop such a temperament?" Chunjia didn't know whether to laugh or cry, but seeing her attitude like this, she felt that she could still be saved.
He was afraid that when he came now, he would see a very virtuous and virtuous Yun Fenghuang, who always said "I know my sins".
That meant she didn't want to talk to him at all.
As for Yun Fenghuang's talk about carrying guns and sticks, this is not a problem in Chunjia's opinion.
He has been with Yuan Niang for many years, and his temper has been tempered for a long time.
At this moment, he asked with a smile, "The Queen Mother is just trying to scare you. Otherwise, why would she add that she would wait until the first lunar month has passed before mentioning this matter? Isn't it just to leave time for you to get rid of your crime and make meritorious service, so that nothing can be done about it then? You care about it. Woke up."
When he said this, he was concentrating on looking at Yun Fenghuang's face, so he didn't notice that Xie Hengyu's face changed slightly behind Yun Fenghuang.
Thinking of what Yun Fenghuang said before, Empress Dowager Yuan and her son planned to cross the river and burn the bridge. They would definitely tolerate her during this period, and they were also perfunctory and paralyzing her.
Yun Fenghuang snorted softly and asked Xie Hengyu and others to step back. He walked to his seat, kicked away a few pieces of broken porcelain, sat down and said in an angry tone: "Your Majesty, please don't put such charges on my body and head. , How can I dare to argue with you? These days, your Majesty goes to so and so, and does not even bother to come to Xuanqing Palace. I am so anxious that I just think that I have been forgotten! It’s just a photo of six No one mentioned the power of the palace, so I can only endure the fear and bite the bullet and continue to control the six palaces!"
"So, of course I know about the affairs of Qiongfang Palace. I should report it to the Queen Mother in advance, or Your Majesty. It is only safe to act like this."
"But rumors have been spreading around the Sixth Palace recently. How can I not be afraid? Both the Queen Mother and Your Majesty are disgusted with me and don't want to see me? So I decided to resolve the matter privately and let it go."
"It turned out that I had all the attendants here, and they were all tight-lipped, but I didn't expect that Mrs. Gu was so unscrupulous, and regardless of her, everyone knew about the incident. The Queen Mother punished me, but I didn't dare to say anything. It’s unjust, but your majesty, please think about it, what should I do in my position?”
These words were quite confusing, but Chunjia was very indulgent and said gently: "I know you have been wronged, so didn't I also punish the Gu family?"
He added, "I was so angry at that time that I didn't say anything about being demoted to the ninth concubine. I left this matter to my concubine, whoever she thinks is suitable for her to do."
Firstly, he thought that Yunfenghuang was jealous and enjoyed it; secondly, he felt that following Yunfenghuang would definitely make the true concubine calm down, so wouldn't it be natural for the two of them to reconcile as before
But when Yun Fenghuang was becoming suspicious, he became more and more certain that his guess was right!
This bastard emperor, as expected, wanted to cross the river and burn the bridge, so he didn't even say a word to criticize him, and even took the initiative to add fuel to the flames!
Yun Fenghuang couldn't help but think that if he acted unpreparedly and dealt with Gu Zhen based on the favor he gave him, maybe next year when a new person enters the palace, Empress Dowager Yuan and her mother will settle old scores. Today's favor is just a matter of time. A certificate to send her to death!
Her heart was filled with hatred, but she had a bright smile on her face and said, "Is it true?"
Seeing Chunjia nodding: "You have no words to joke about."
He just smiled, covered his mouth and said, "Then if I lift the last Chongyuan up and make room for the Gu family, wouldn't Your Majesty feel bad?"
"What's there to feel bad about?" Chunjia actually thought that this was a bit too much, and Gu Zhen didn't do anything. Not only was he demoted for nothing, but he still had to suffer such humiliation. It was really... But in order not to To make the relationship between the two worse, he said indifferently and without conscience, "Chongyuan is also a concubine, and there is Jieyu under her. With what Gu has done, could it be that she has been wronged?"
"I know that Your Majesty is the best!" Yun Fenghuang smiled and winked at him, but before Chunjia could also show a relieved smile, he put on a sad expression and sighed, "Actually, I I shouldn’t doubt your majesty’s kindness to me. It’s just that I feel really uncomfortable listening to the discussions in private in the palace recently! It’s a coincidence that your majesty hasn’t been here recently. I want to ask you, but I don’t have the courage... I can only do it myself. A person is dejected in the palace... The more I think about it, the more uncomfortable I become, and the more I think about it, the more I feel that I am worthless, how can I be worthy of being promoted by the emperor?"
Chunjia had just focused on coaxing her, and he didn't pay much attention to the so-called rumors - he had already mastered part of the Imperial City Department during this period, and the disturbances inside and outside the Imperial City could not be hidden from his eyes and ears, at least not Well informed.
Knowing that he had not arrived at Xuanqing Palace during this period, the Sixth Palace was quite surprised, but he did not dare to do anything.
Otherwise, he wouldn't have let his true concubine hang out until now.
Listening at this moment, I didn't take it seriously at all. I just said that the true concubine made excuses to act coquettishly and make demands, and then she showed a hint of anger: "What kind of discussion makes my beloved concubine so embarrassed?"
"Your Majesty, I have heard that some people say that I am from a humble background and I am not worthy of the position of concubine, let alone the power of the Sixth Palace!" Yun Fenghuang began to wipe away his tears, and the pear blossoms looked very miserable with rain. The pleasing to the eye - after all, he had specially practiced in front of the bronze mirror - choked up and said, "Isn't it that after a few days of being proud, you will be beaten back to your original shape?"
"They also said that my brother wants to be the master, but it's just a toad that wants to eat swan meat!"
"The noble status and bloodline of Your Highness the Princess are something that a mere country man can only imagine?!"
Chunjia quickly analyzed that it was impossible to say that no one would say these words.
After all, the true concubine has risen rapidly. Whether it is due to conflicts of interest or jealousy, there must be similar discussions.
But if Yun Fenghuang heard it...
That's really unlikely.
Because her reputation in the previous harem was so cruel...
I think back then, Yuan Yuniang was already recognized as a killer of palace concubines and a master of reducing palace people. However, from the first day she entered the palace, Yuan Yuniang was beaten until she was unable to fight back.
This achievement has not lasted for many years, and the memory of the people in the palace is not that bad.
Therefore, the emperor judged that this was all fabricated by Yun Fenghuang, and the focus was on the latter part. Is she worried about her promise to be the son of the Xie family
Am I so untrustworthy in her mind
Chunjia was a little displeased, but then thought of Xie Fu being framed, and comforted himself that it was not him who the real concubine didn't believe, but those monsters and monsters outside - so he said in a deep voice: "Who are you talking about like this?! I'll turn around and let you know Check them out, beat them all to death and drag them out!"
Seeing that the true concubine was still sobbing, she added, "As for the marriage of my sisters, you don't have to worry about this! I said I will make the decision for them personally, so I will naturally keep my word!"
Yun Fenghuang thought to himself, you are saying this now, who knows if you will turn your back and deny it later
Besides, as the emperor, if you really don’t want to send the princess to the Xie family, do you need to go out and regret the marriage in person? With the hint, someone will naturally help him handle the matter properly.
She then wiped her tears and choked up and said: "But now there are still some days before Enke. I come from a humble background. Although my blood brothers have talents, they are now like pearls and jade covered in dust. No one outside knows about it. What happened to Brother Eleven before, I still feel scared when I think about it. What if...if something similar happens again in these days, what should I do?"
"... For no reason, it may not be a good thing for me to favor the Xie family's children at this time." Chunjia comforted her for a few words, but seeing that she refused to give up, he said helplessly, "After all, their brothers are already very popular now. .”
This is true. Yun Fenghuang sighed in his heart. It was not good to have a low background.
Even if someone above wants to lift him up, without merit or a reason to be the master, the extent to which he can be promoted is limited.
If this was a family like Duke Yi, why would it be so troublesome? Just talk about the family's ancestors and it would be a favor.
Of course, if she were really a noble lady of that level, she wouldn't need to be so anxious.
"Your Majesty, I know that I am from a humble background, and the Xie family has not made any achievements so far, so how can I dare to ask for a reward?" She tilted her head slightly and said with tears in her eyes, "It's just that this time, many of my blood brothers have come to take the exam. , want to serve His Majesty. There are also some who have never been married. Originally, it was deserted enough in a foreign land, but under the big festival, I couldn't help but think of them, so lonely, with no one around them who knew how to feel cold or hot. nothing… "
Chunjia understood what she meant. She wanted to give the unmarried brothers besides Xie Wuzheng the opportunity to marry into high-ranking families.
In fact, Yun Fenghuang doesn't mention this opportunity now. After Xie Wuzheng becomes the master, other people's marriages will naturally increase.
The rush to get up now inevitably makes the emperor think a little more. Although Xie Fu and others are tacitly acknowledged as being in the emperor's heart, they have not yet come to an end. Without the glorious blessing of the new scholars, only the descendants of the Xie family, The true concubine's status as a blood relative could not catch the attention of a wealthy family.
Even if Chunjia personally helped with the matchmaking, it would be difficult not to be perfunctory.
For example, it is not the holy will, and a daughter of a side branch who is not valued, a concubine, or even a temporarily recognized adopted daughter is used to prevaricate.
The effect of that kind of marriage is obviously not as good as that after being named on the gold list, using the blood relatives of the true concubine, the brothers-in-law, and the new Jinshi to come to the house to ask for marriage - Yun Fenghuang cannot not understand this truth, but he must be so eager for quick success...
Chunjia was astute, and she would feel sorry for herself if she thought about it for a moment, and immediately laughed out loud: He said, this concubine still can't trust him. This is because she is afraid that her favor will expire and something will happen to her, so she retreats. And the next best thing, she plans to finalize a few marriages for her brother to high-profile families
After all, the royal princess wanted to regret her marriage. Chunjia said that even if she was worshiping, it was not impossible to change her mind.
But these wealthy families still have a reputation. If marriage certificates are exchanged with them and done well, it is not impossible to use public opinion to force others to marry their daughters.
When the time comes, with this true concubine's methods, I won't be afraid that she won't be able to hold people hostage.
Chunjia suppressed her anger and said calmly: "What you consider makes sense, but I don't know whose girl you have fallen in love with for your brother?"
