"... Is it true that Bi Dong is lucky enough to have many concubines in the Three Palaces and Sixth Courtyard, but they favor me?" Empress Ji was silent for a moment, breathed out, and said sincerely, "According to my understanding of him, he actually really likes me. Mine. Otherwise, it was already that time, why would you indulge me so much? He didn’t want me to trick him, but he didn’t feel weak at all.”
The queen suddenly felt a little better.
Although she was not favored by Chunjia, Chunjia's favorite concubine obviously didn't like the emperor very much either... She had just received many benefits from Chunjia with a happy face, and then she turned around and suggested that Ji family burn down the palace. It was simply heartless.
Yun Fenghuang said indifferently: "Your Majesty, the Empress Dowager and the Empress Dowager are both direct descendants of Bidong. The country governs Tiandong with filial piety. If I do this, it will not harm Bidong's reputation. How can you say whether you want to cheat Bhidong?"
"Then let's do it." Empress Ji didn't want to shut up with her, because the empress suddenly thought that when Yun Fenghuang worked for Zhonggong before, might she have also thought about Zhonggong...
She stood up and said, "Xie Wuzheng is in the Hanlin Academy and can't handle much. But after becoming the master, he will definitely be sent on errands. When the time comes... "
"When the time comes, people will say whether he has gained the honor of the royal family or not. He has no ability." Yun Fenghuang shook his head and said, "We must spread the reputation to him before the Lord. Although Ruming has already started. He has been favored by the royal family, but he has not gotten married in the end, so he has room to highlight his abilities... In this way, he will be more confident when he becomes a couple with the princess's master."
Empress Ji said: "I'm leaving my sister alone now. Isn't it good to be afraid of Penglai's wrong consort? Besides, the Hanlin Academy is noble and has nothing practical to deal with. If she is sent to the door by force, the hawks and dogs of the Imperial City Department will beg for help if they can't say it." Reporting to Bidong, do I really want to take such a risk?"
Yun Fenghuang smiled and said: "Your Majesty, the Ji family has many heirs. Ruming is in a hurry to decline. Even if it still has the strength to fight, isn't it possible that there is no long-term plan at all?"
Without waiting for the queen to shut up, she continued, "My brother Ru Ming's mission is indeed not suitable for handling affairs directly or indirectly, so as not to arouse Bidong's suspicion. But... if he doesn't look for trouble, you can let the trouble come to him. When I entered the palace last year, had I heard of the name of the dandy in the Ji clan? Was that a stubborn man who even the clan members and nobles shunned? Even though over the years, because of the passing of Duke Ye Guo’s wife, Your Majesty Dong is in charge of the government and has restrained himself. As the saying goes, a country is easy to change and a nature is hard to change. I must think that the empress's brothers, nephews, and nephews are restless in their hearts?"
"I beg my brother to stir up trouble and pave the way for my brother?" Empress Ji looked gloomy, "True Concubine, do I think that I am the emperor who has been stunned by me? Can I do whatever I want? Ru Ming Bidong is disgusted with his Ji family, and even recalled Ouyang Yanran, but he will also accuse him of Ji family... In that case, if my brother makes a mistake, how can there be any good news?!"
Yun Fenghuang said with a smile: "Are you deceiving me with what you said? Mrs. Ji has indeed lost her Sacred Heart, but she doesn't have much strength, so why does your Majesty want to keep your wife in the palace?" It's too late to recall the old minister? According to me, there are many heirs of the Ji family anyway, and picking the young and smart one with the eyes to set the bones will cause some trouble. Even if the matter is made big, the elders will come out to plead guilty and beg for mercy, Bidong If the climate is not yet complete, is it possible that we will break up with us over a little dispute of will?"
"That would not be disrespectful to your Majesty."
"When the time comes, the Ji family will take advantage of the situation and send the young man to a distant place. It's called exile, but it's actually for protection."
"In that case, if Ji's family is not alive, it would be a small matter to call him back; if it's not Ji's family... then it just leaves a glimmer of hope, isn't it?"
Seeing Empress Ji frowning and saying nothing, she continued, "Your Majesty, you should know that in Ruming's Sixth Palace, the only person who can help Ji is my concubine. And my greatest disadvantage is that my family background is not good. You can help me then." The concubine is also helping myself. Otherwise, newcomers will come all the time. Once the concubine is lost, do you think Luo Hanyi and the others would be willing to see the Ji family come east safely? "
Of course that is impossible.
The family backgrounds of Luo Hanyi and the others are even worse than those of the Ji family.
When the Ji family was in power before, they kept a low profile and bided their time, and there was nothing the Ji family could do.
At that time, when Chunjia was acting like a wise king, several families sent their daughters to the palace or sent their sons to the court, pretending to beg Chunjia to sacrifice themselves until death - whether they were working hard to win over Chunjia. Jia Huanxin wanted to create a successor for her family, and even when the Queen Mother secretly competed with her, how could she "complicit" with the Ji family that Chun Jia despised
The most important thing is that they are both from aristocratic families, and there is not much difference in size.
The Ji family and the Luo family simply couldn't offer sufficiently attractive conditions. For the Luo family, instead of coveting the benefits promised by the Ji family, it would be better to follow Chunjia to knock the Ji family into dust and then divide the government and opposition parties created by it. The share is more worthwhile.
Therefore, although there is no grudge between Luo Hanyi and the others and Empress Ji, it is possible for both parties to cooperate.
Only Yun Fenghuang was favored by Chunjia and could speak his mind in front of the emperor. However, he was not of high birth and had a weak family background, so he would not be interested in the connections, influence, property, and information that Ji Ruming had.
"My true concubine, I am so smart and astute. I had nothing when I first entered the palace, and yet I have reached the bright moon." Empress Ji was silent for a while and said lightly, "What's more, brother Ruming is about to become the master? Why should I be impatient? Otherwise, the newcomer is coming all the time. It turns out that the one that Bidong visits most often is my Huanhua Palace?"
My true concubine’s achievements are obvious to all, and she was already legendary even without the help of my family. Then can you please help me cultivate my brothers again? In a few years, I might not even need Ji anymore. By then, Ji will be here again. With my credit, can you admit it
Yun Fenghuang said with a smile: "What the empress said, could it be that during the three dynasties of the Ji family's Xuanhe, Ruming encountered some difficulties and could not have done it without the help of a female streamer like me? I think it is not possible for Ruming to rush to Mr. Ji doesn't have a leg, so he helps to build a ladder or something. For such a big family, the rise and fall of such a family depends on an outsider, so what are you thinking about what to do in the future?"
Empress Ji was unmoved and said coldly: "Although the popular saying is vulgar, it also has a truth. A phoenix is not as good as a chicken when it lands. I am in the palace as if it were clear. But for more than half a year, the ordinary maids in the palace have been able to come and go freely. I am However, the palace had to stay in Yanfu Palace and complain about illness... The true concubine therefore does not need to use words to provoke me. The past six months will be enough for me to think clearly."
She glanced at Yun Fenghuang and said, "It's okay to ask me to use my brothers to pave the way for the Xie family. But it's okay to help the Empress Dowager, who is very motherly and empressive, and the Empress Dowager is very palace-like. I really need to help." The Queen Mother, the Queen Mother, should restore her previous status and ask the concubine to return to Chunnuo Palace in exchange for Mianfu Palace."
"Is it necessary for me to meet you there if you are so capable?" Yun Fenghuang said with a smile, "Your Majesty is really good at joking."
Does she hope that after Empress Dowager Ji returns, she will immediately push Empress Dowager Yuan east
At least when Queen Mother Ji spoke ill of her to Chunjia, Chunjia neither believed it nor needed to give her face.
But how is that possible
No matter how cruel Chunjia was, she couldn't agree to it.
She couldn't be stupid enough to suggest that to Chunjia.
The two sides bargained for a long time, and finally Yun Fenghuang persuaded Empress Ji to arrange an accident where her relatives caused trouble, so as to gain Wu Zheng's reputation.
What Yun Fenghuang wanted to do was to respond to the affairs of the Empress Dowager and his mother, the Empress Dowager, and to prevent Concubine Dongxuan from falling into the hands of the civet cats.
"Actually, those civet cats are not a big deal. What the mother did before was just because she was afraid that there would be too many snakes and rats in the palace and hurt Minghui and the others who were running around." Empress Ji explained, "The reason why she had to deal with palace people who were harsh on civet cats several times , or because I feel that if I don’t do that, if there is a greedy private owner who beats the teeth of the civet cats as a sacrifice, then I can’t ask the Royal Beast Garden to send a group of civet cats from time to time? But since the queen has hope When we return to the palace, something went wrong with those civet cats, isn’t that the shame of being a mother-in-law?”
"When the time comes, even if the queen comes back, how will she deal with herself?"
Yun Fenghuang agreed nonchalantly: "I don't like Concubine Xuan, so please don't worry, I'll leave that matter to you. I promise that before my mother, the Empress Dowager, returns to the palace, Concubine Xuan will do it." I wish I could steam those civet cats, but I have to endure it!"
Whether the two parties agreed on the matter or not, Queen Ji left quietly.
The Qing man accompanied Yun Fenghuang back to his dormitory. On the way, he asked anxiously: "Your Majesty, Dong Ruming, has sharp ears and eyes. What if..."
"Although the Ji family has lost power, after all, the Phoenix Master of the Three Dynasties, please can't even cover up the traces of Queen Ji coming to my palace tomorrow. Why did Bidong have to let the Queen be sick and recuperate since last year?" Yun Fenghuang shook his head slightly. , so that she did not have to worry unfoundedly, "The centipede is dead but not stiff. You must know that Qiu Qiu will know about the Queen's private meeting with this palace. Although I have room for excuse, the Queen is afraid that Qiu will really fall ill." "
Therefore, if the queen is not sure about her request, how can she dare to come to see her in person
The cooperation with Empress Ji was not something she had expected. After thinking about it for a while, she felt that she had not suffered a loss, so she just acted as if nothing had happened.
Even when Chunjia came to Huanhua Palace for a walk in the afternoon, she took the time to mention the Zheng family in the cold palace, and coquettishly urged Chunjia to send someone to Yanfu Palace to send a message to deal with that person quickly, so as not to An eyesore.
In order to prevent Chunjia from suspecting that she was in a hurry to silence her, Yun Fenghuang said plausibly: "When I came back to concubine and I almost got into a fight with Concubine Xuan, I knew very well that the empress did it, but because she was prepared, she pushed it away If Mrs. Zheng comes out to top the vat, it will negate the overall situation, so we can just admit it. In this way, if we continue to leave Mrs. Zheng in the cold palace, wouldn't it give the queen a shield?"
"I didn't care about it earlier. I have a pair of royal heirs who are raised at my knees."
"I feel frightened when I think of the civet cat being led to the main hall, just a door away from the two children!"
She recalled Chun Jia's old report about the emperor's biological mother being humble and noble even without his bloodline. "I am not very blessed. Although I am able to serve the emperor, I am not blessed enough to give birth to his children myself... It's so easy." I can raise these two children here, even though their biological mother is humble and not as good as Zhaorong, who is very submissive, and Jieyu’s heirs in the womb are more hoped for by Bidong, but after all, they are not Bidong’s flesh and blood!”
"Among them, the second prince was raised by Sister Shu Fei. His biological mother was not peaceful when she was pregnant with him, and he finally fell to the ground. Please tell me if there is another one who is both long and short. How can I explain to the Duke of Shu that I am very proud of my sister Shu Fei?" ? Then I won’t be able to survive. Wuwuwuwu..."
Chunjia was helpless by her. Although she knew that she was wrong about the second prince and might not really care that much, she still believed that the concubine was wrong about her being infertile and regretted that she had revealed her attitude of valuing the bloodline of the emperor's biological mother.
Anyway, the emperor's decision to deal with Zheng after the full-moon banquet had already been made, and he had no intention of going back on it at that time, so he coaxed her for a while, and then sent the young waiter to Yanfu Palace to tell him: "In the past two months, I have been asking for help." I feel so sorry for our three mothers that I am afraid of everything, and I said those words at that time... With me here, what things are worthy of my mention? Huh?"
"I am very sorry that Your Majesty trusted me and allowed me to raise those two royal heirs." Yun Fenghuang was satisfied and took the initiative to kiss him. He burst into tears and said with a smile, "I have such an important responsibility, so I can do a good job for these two children." Do you care?"
She was afraid that the emperor would see that she had paid too much attention to Zheng's death, so when she saw the young waiter leaving the door, she immediately changed the subject and told Chunjia about the princesses' dowry - she thought that the emperor had already spoken, but Zheng It was inevitable that tomorrow morning, the hidden danger would be eliminated. However, she did not expect that the next month she went to Chunhuo Palace to invite An back to Huanhua Palace, but she did not hear the news of Zheng's sudden death.
I was really thinking that Leng Gong was not taken seriously and no one noticed until Ming Dynasty. I was wondering whether to ask Chen Zhu to ask about Dong, but who knew that the queen sent someone to tell her: "Ms. Zheng said that she wants to see you before she is on the way." "
