Treacherous Living in the Imperial Harem

Chapter 364: What Chunjia is good at

Yan Yin was slightly startled, unable to react.

He subconsciously held his breath and listened to the emperor say slowly: "This sculpture has long been famous in the history of the Qing Dynasty. Some people said, 'There are sixty-three feather insects, and the most handsome ones are Haidong Qing' [Note]' The emperor of the previous dynasty had a reason to do so." The aliens who have lived in a state of caution have demanded excessive amounts of Haidongqing, triggering civil uprisings and almost indirectly destroying the country; there are also cases where the imperial court has issued a decree to pay tribute to Haidongqing and pardon all charges... which shows how rare it is."

"Haitongqing is fast, agile, and difficult to capture. A proverb from the previous dynasty goes, 'Nine-death escapes only a rare eagle.' He also has a arrogant temperament. Even if he falls into human hands, he will not give in easily."

Yan Yin felt that he understood, and said softly: "Your Majesty feels that the Concubine Xian is like the sea in the sea. Although she is unruly, once she is tamed, she can be a helping hand, so..."

Play hard to get

"..." Chunjia slowly opened her eyes and said, "Have you seen Hai Dongqing?"

Yan Yin said: "I have seen this before in the Royal Beast Garden."

"Those are the ones who survived." Chunjia said calmly, "In the process of surviving the eagle, many people died... If you use Hai Qing as a minion, you don't care, you can just catch them all again. But if you really love Hai Qing Young man, when you meet those who would rather die than surrender, how can you not break the shackles and let them go free?"

He sighed leisurely and said, "The virtuous concubine was favored when she was in the boudoir. After the change, she came to the imperial capital. She said she was living under someone else's roof. However, her mother clan bribed her with money and gifts, and her aunt and uncle's family treated her well. She was a high-ranking member of the imperial capital. During this time, it was the honor of Duke Yi Guo’s office, and Shun Jieyu protected him, so he never suffered any real humiliation or grievance."

Everyone has different experiences and views on things differently.

In Yun Fenghuang's opinion, she was a miserable woman.

But for Chunjia, the twists and turns encountered by Concubine Xian were nothing compared to what he had experienced in the past few years in the palace.

Even if Yun Fenghuang first entered the palace and fell into the hands of a master like Yuan Niang, at least he still had the power of the Ji family to draw on, and he could take advantage of the situation where the whole palace was dissatisfied with Huzhu Palace.

It's not a fatal situation after all.

This concubine is not the kind of person who really kneels down. Her submissiveness is a sign of weakness in a prosperous family, dragging the elders to act coquettishly and pretending to be aggrieved. There is a bottom line.

If it goes beyond that, we start to think about dying together.

She has never experienced the humiliation of true desperation in order to survive at all costs.

But in Chunjia, in the years before he took charge, any prince would die young without any chance.

Even if there was no prince, if his restlessness was even slightly noticed, he would definitely be killed.

There was no solution to these difficulties. He could only endure and wait.

If Ji suddenly wanted to change the emperor, Chunjia would have no choice.

The emperor said, "The virtuous concubine seems to be smooth and sophisticated, but in fact she is quite unruly at heart and would rather break than bend."

"She is someone who has never truly compromised, and at her age, she is the one who despises life and death the most."

"I don't want to break up with her, let alone make a decisive decision... I have to give in."

He was very calm when he said this, and did not feel the humiliation or unwillingness of being an emperor but having to bow to a concubine with a bad temper. After all, for Chunjia, what she was most accustomed to was patience and waiting.

When he was a child, he carried the warning of Princess Fuyangzhuang and lived in fear that he would lose his honorable status if he was rejected by his aunt. When he was a teenager, he watched the Queen Mother Yuan express her displeasure with Yuan Niang but cared for her niece in every possible way, and his heart turned over and over. I wanted to ask my aunt about whom she cared for more, but she couldn't bear it until now. After ascending the throne, she had to endure even more.

Need to wait longer.

The suffering of those eight years transformed Yuan Yuniang from the unruly but innocent and lovely daughter of a noble family into an unrecognizable resentful woman in the palace. Looking back on those years, every day and night is filled with hopeless darkness and coldness.

…But he finally came over.

He had successively obtained the title of Crown Prince, the position of vassal king, the Nine-Fiveth Supreme Being, and even the imperial power that he had longed for.

So Chunjia doesn't care about forbearance and waiting. What makes people give up and makes people disappointed is that there is no gain after hard work.

If you know that there will be gains, or if you firmly believe that you will gain, then all the hard work and even the humiliation before this will have meaning.

Chunjia thought calmly, since he originally wanted to be the crown prince, the vassal king, the emperor, and truly king of the world... he had worked hard for it and succeeded, then why did he want to be in love with Yun Fenghuang and couldn't Can you bear to wait

He has always been patient.

Also good at patience.

This is how the Ji family fell into trouble, why can't Yun Fenghuang do the same

She was thinking about Qi Jiulu again. Now he was in the palace, and he was in the army. She was facing her day and night.

Concubine Xian is still so young. Counting the time she spent with Qi Jiulu, it only lasts for about ten years, including the time when she was a child.

And he and Concubine Xian still have many more decades, and he can afford it.

Time is fairest, and the marks left by childhood sweethearts on each other will never fade away, but they can be covered up by stronger marks, making it seem like they have never happened before - such as Yun Fenghuang to Yuan Yuniang.

He can also replace Qi Jiulu.

And her suspicion and distrust can also be proven over time.

So although Chunjia was actually very angry when he realized that Yun Fenghuang was actually trying to harm Queen Mother Yuan this time, after thinking about it, he decided to settle the matter.

The rift between Concubine Xian and Empress Dowager Yuan was very deep. He could not persuade Empress Dowager Yuan to treat the concubine as his own, and he could not persuade Concubine Xian to let go of the past grudge against the Empress Dowager.

There is no point in forcing Concubine Xian to admit her mistake or plead guilty.

Because Yun Fenghuang will definitely go back with even more intense revenge afterwards.

She didn't even consider the consequences when she was in a hurry.

What good would that do him

Suppressing Concubine Xian and not giving her the conditions to threaten the Queen Mother was what he told Yan Yin to "boil the eagle". Concubine Xian was not him, and Concubine Xian was very impatient.

For a mistress who is still dissatisfied with being promoted to the concubine position just a few months after entering the palace, can you expect her to imitate Chun Jia and wait for the opportunity for many years after her wings were broken and the palace door was locked

She would most likely choose to make a desperate move to kill as many opponents as she could.

What good would that do to Chunjia

Like many men throughout the ages who were both mother and wife, he also hoped that the Empress Dowager Yuan and his favorite concubine would have the same affection as mother and daughter and cooperate seamlessly.

But the current conflict between the two parties cannot be reconciled in a short time, and Chunjia does not want either party to go wrong.

Apart from coaxing you from both sides and enduring it yourself, what else can you do

Although he is still considered to be a "young and vigorous" age, after eight years of forbearance, Chunjia has accumulated a poise in his bones and is no longer as impulsive and reckless as his peers.

His outward expressions of joy, anger, sorrow, and joy all have intentions, and he will never truly allow his emotions to dominate his actions.

"... This is really unfair to Your Majesty." Yan Yin was silent for a while and sighed, "I hope that Concubine Wangxian understands His Majesty's painstaking efforts as soon as possible."

How is it that the head of Xuanqing Palace is so blessed that he is so favorably treated by the emperor

But that one is still not satisfied, and is still aggrieved and feels wronged... But he doesn't know that the emperor is the one who has really been wronged!

Yan Yin was really speechless.

"I am the only male heir of Prince Duan of Fuyang. At that time, my aunt had no children. Before her death, Princess Zhuang still did not think that I could sit back and relax. She repeatedly told me to study hard and not slack off in the slightest." Chunjia leaned back on the car, He closed his eyes again and calmed down, and said softly, "I was ignorant at the beginning, but as I gradually matured, I realized that the concubine worked hard. I was worried that she would have an identity but not be worthy of her position, which would lead to disaster."

Although he was Yan Yin's confidant, he would certainly not express his thoughts about the grievances between the concubine and Empress Dowager Yuan.

When it comes to elders, Chunjia always chooses to speak pleasantly.

"The Concubine Xian has only been with me for a few years. Although I am partial to her, I will not break the rules because of this. She grew up being loved and loved, so she is not so easily flattered."

In fact, Chunjia felt that she treated Yun Fenghuang quite well, and compared to his treatment in San Gong and Sixth Courtyard, it was definitely unique - but Yun Fenghuang's ex-fiancé, who couldn't stand her, obeyed her every word and dared to do anything for this green plum. His mother is not as good as him, and the family that gave birth to and raised him can abandon him and just want to take Qingmei away and fly away.

In comparison, Yun Fenghuang really didn't feel that Chunjia was so kind to him...

After all, Qi Jiulu was so well-behaved, she was moved and moved, and the continuous training did not fail - well, she firmly believed that the first reason why her predecessor and current wife were so good to her was because of her good training.

It's not that these two people love her naturally.

This kind of indulgence and preference is the result of her hard work, and she enjoys it as a matter of course.

"I have never done anything to make Concubine Xian devoted to me, nor have I established any achievements that made everyone in the world admire me. I have not accumulated a long-term relationship with her. Naturally, I do not expect her to change drastically in her temperament and suddenly fall deeply in love with me. .”

Among the many concubines in the Three Palaces and Sixth Courtyard, did any of them fall in love with the emperor at first sight

Chunjia believes there is.

But that is often based on the awe of his identity, envy of his appearance, admiration for his manners and conversation, and the confusion of his gentle appearance. Such concubines are either of low origin, or relatively simple, not very determined, and easily deceived by external objects. , bound by rules.

It is the kind that can be won purely by relying on status, appearance and etiquette.

But like Yun Fenghuang, you still want to convince her with little skill? It's good if she doesn't want to climb on top of you.

It's not just Yun Fenghuang, but anyone who has a relatively high background and has been carefully brought up by his family. At least so far, I'm afraid no one is really devoted to Chunjia.

For example, Wei Hengyan was very affectionate when she met the saint for the first time... But as long as Yun Fenghuang was present, she would definitely look at Chunjia with all her eyes, nose, and heart, and never give Chun Jia a second look!

Because in her opinion, she liked the emperor, but she didn't like him enough to compete with her sister Xian Concubine for favor.

Chunjia knew this well and accepted it well.

He had been instilled in him by Mrs. Zhuang very early on that his status was unreliable and that only his own strength could be relied upon. He also believed that he could not get to where he was today without his own hard work, so he did not expect anything from the sky. About the cake.

He believes more and looks forward to the rewards after his efforts.

Take it grandly and with a clear conscience.

The emperor glanced at the attendants beside him and said in a leisurely tone, "This is the case with the virtuous concubine, and the same is true with you... I don't want to betray others, and I hope that you and others will not betray me!"

Yan Yin listened and felt a little aggrieved for the emperor at first. Hearing this, his heart was shaken and he knelt down subconsciously: "This slave is lucky enough to serve Mingjun for the rest of his life!"

Although he also knew that as a slave, his treatment could not really be as good as that of a beloved concubine like Xian Fei who aroused the emperor's heart. However, a monarch who is willing to be strict with himself and treat others with leniency, even if he just makes such a gesture, will not be treated as such. A servant like him is, after all, the best.

Who doesn’t want to be with a master who is willing to take care of him

... Chunjia went to court calmly. Yun Fenghuang, who pretended to be asleep, sat up and felt that his whole body was not well!

What on earth is the emperor thinking? !

Why is he so patient? ?

After struggling for a long time, when he saw that it was time to dress up and go out, Yun Fenghuang, who was sitting in front of the dressing table, was silent for a while, and finally sighed: "Let the people below take a rest first, let's stop the matter of Concubine Xuan and Concubine Rui for the time being. "

You just promised the emperor, you have to show off, you can't go against the wind and commit crimes, right

Besides, the two concubines will need to cooperate for a while so that they can show weakness to Chun Jia... Let's just consider the overall situation and don't argue with them for now.

Yun Fenghuang comforted himself in this way, and then ordered angrily, "The contact between Huzhu Palace and Yuan Yuniang should first find a reason to stabilize the person... Anyway, nothing can happen to these people in the near future, including the loving mother Queen Mother!"

Otherwise Chunjia would definitely be the first to doubt her!

Why is my life so miserable

Concubine Xian, who was led by Yan to think she had great blessings, sighed, she was really miserable.
