The next month, Chunjia was busy with government affairs, so she told Yan Yin to go to Chunyou Palace on her behalf to discuss with the Queen Mother Yuan about cooperating in a play to deceive the Ji family.
Yan Yin couldn't help but compliment a few words, saying that Bidong was tolerant and open-minded. As expected, the Concubine Xian was also infected and became virtuous and sensible. Then she would change her ways and really share the worries of Bidong.
"I believe what Concubine Xian said?" However, when Chunjia heard this, she raised her head from the papers and glanced at him. She laughed dumbly and said, "When has she ever been so honest? Do you think there is still someone on Ji's side?" The benefits can be reaped, and if I and Empress Yuan don’t agree to this plan, she can openly and openly add to empress Yuan’s anger in the future... Please tell me if you want to share the worries for me, I can’t say there is none, but I’m afraid it’s not clear what percentage it accounts for. She knows it herself."
Yan Yin: "..."
How virtuous is that virtuous concubine? How virtuous! ! !
But Chunjia knew it well and didn't care. He didn't dare to say anything to any of his servants. He roared in his heart and went to Chunhui Palace. He pretended to be a stormy storm and counterattacked with the Ji family in the harem. The reality was told to the Empress Dowager Yuan, and the Empress Dowager quickly agreed to the plan of integrating inside and outside.
He asked very sadly: "Is the Concubine Xian okay? Can she raise two heirs to the east of her knees? If Mrs. Ji finds out, she might not be able to tolerate her."
Empress Dowager Yuan was not very concerned about Yun Fenghuang's life and death at that time. Concubine Xuan and the others were not tempered. If Yun Fenghuang fell, there would be no suitable candidate among the concubines to resist Ji's influence. When the harem makes a comeback, Empress Dowager Yuan must not be allowed to perform in person
It would be useless if she had the shamelessness to do it in person. A single Empress Dowager Ji could hold her back, let alone the Empress Dowager behind her.
When Chunjia's faction is on the battlefield in the harem, it is conceivable that they will be defeated like a mountain!
"Please rest assured, Queen Mother. Your Majesty said that Concubine Xian is very alert and nothing will happen to her." Yan Yin thought sympathetically, are you worried about Concubine Xian? Is this virtuous concubine full of trouble with you
... In short, after that month, the relationship between Queen Mother Yuan and Yun Fenghuang became tense. Although there was no conflict in the scene, the atmosphere was always strange whenever the two parties got together.
There was a private discussion in the palace about whether Concubine Xuan was unhappy. Empress Dowager Yuan and Chun Jia both supported Yun Fenghuang to be the queen's assistant in charge of the Sixth Palace. They thoroughly investigated the matter of the Wanshou Banquet earlier and found that it was inextricably linked to Yun Fenghuang. , informed Queen Mother Yuan.
Empress Dowager Yuan did not intend to get to the bottom of the matter because both Ru Ming and her son had to use Yun Fenghuang. She wanted Yun Fenghuang to admit her mistake. However, Yun Fenghuang refused to admit it and refused to talk about it. She begged Concubine Xuan to be severely punished... There was a lot of turmoil in the private relationship. In the end, both Chun and Jia had to show off, so the relationship was not completely broken.
Concubine Xuan, who didn’t know anything, said: “………………???”
Luo Hanyi felt that she was really wronged. She did suspect that the incident at the Wanshou Banquet was related to Concubine Xian, but after a thorough investigation, it was impossible to find out what she had reported.
After all, could Anliu be handed over to the Imperial City Division by Chunjia personally? In that situation, how could Luo Hanyi or the Luo family behind her continue to inquire? Do you want the emperor to think that they don't trust him? Do you want the emperor to suspect that they want to get involved in the Imperial City Division
And why did Empress Dowager Yuan uncharacteristically support Concubine Xian, who was not uncommon? Concubine Xuan knew it, and she was not indifferent. How could she be willing to give advice when she knew she was in vain
As for whether these rumors were all private affairs, no one directly questioned him at the door.
Luo Hanyi's aggrieved plea for death had no explanation. Taking advantage of the delay in greeting him at the beginning, he tactfully mentioned it to the Queen Mother Yuan, and the Queen Mother Yuan said: "Good boy, I don't think too much about it. The Ai family knows that I I've always been good. Don't take those words to heart."
After a brief prevarication, the main idea was to tell her not to think too much, stop being meddlesome, and concentrate on recuperating her body to give birth to children for the emperor.
She couldn't tell what Empress Dowager Yuan was thinking, so she didn't dare to say anything more, so she just bowed down and resigned.
I don't want to talk to Yun Fenghuang about it. After all, everyone knows the virtues of the concubine Xian, but the worst thing is that she must retaliate, and she will not let go if she makes a mistake. She never knows how to be merciful and merciful.
Although Luo Hanyi was not afraid of Yun Fenghuang, he did not feel the need to offend Pinghong.
But Yun Fenghuang ignored her at all. One time Luo Hanyi took the initiative to visit the eldest prince and Princess Zhaoqing while holding back his anger. However, he was stopped by Chen Zhu and told her: "Bidong said before, the two of them The emperor of the palace, Ruming, is young and is afraid that too many people will bring on illness, so he asked our empress to keep an eye on the door and not let irrelevant people get close to the emperor. I would like to thank Concubine Xuan Haihan!"
Concubine Xuan was trembling with anger, she was an unrelated person! ? Will she bring illness to the emperor? !
Even if Yun Fenghuang Ruming is one of the four concubines, she is still a little lower. When the two emperors grow up, they will greet her and call her "Concubine Xuanmu"!
He returned to Yanlan Palace angrily, completely giving up the idea of getting along with Yun Fenghuang.
After the wise concubine stayed in the palace for one month, the concubines in the harem couldn't get along well with each other!
Moreover, it would be impossible to live in harmony in such a scene.
"Why did I offend Concubine Xuan?" Even though Concubine Xuan couldn't see Yun Fenghuang, Empress Ji, as an "ally", didn't have that trouble, because Concubine Xuan was in charge of the Sixth Palace like Ming, so they had no chance to get along with each other. It's small, it's reasonable, and no one can find fault with it.
In the afternoon of that month, Yun Fenghuang went to Yanfu Palace to assist with palace affairs. The concubines and concubines dealt with things together in the side hall for a while. They were a little tired, so the queen asked someone to serve tea and take a nap. Then she asked Yun Fenghuang about it. Regarding the things I have done recently, "I really thought that I was asking to take advantage of the return of the Imperial Grandmother and Ji's mother to contact Concubine Xuan and the others to pay Ji's debt."
Yun Fenghuang held the tea bowl and said lazily: "Contact them? Are they worthy? Please support me if you don't have a family background. It didn't matter if you were here or not at that time. Besides, the empress didn't know they came to the palace." What can I do? Although each one is better than the other, I can't help but have a better background. Is it possible that before I entered the palace, I was promised the position of empress now?"
"Why do I think I'm criticizing Huaibo?" Empress Ji blew on the tea foam and smiled, "Is it true that I rely on my family to get that phoenix position?"
Yun Fenghuang said: "How can it be the same? Madam, aside from other things, I really admire the legs that handle palace affairs. You see, when you were ill, I was in charge of the Sixth Palace. Why? Follow the gourd's example? At first, I was in a hurry and was afraid of causing trouble, so I stuck to the old ways. Later I calmed down, but I didn't change it, because the more I thought about it, the more I felt that the empress's methods were good, and she seemed calm, It’s actually very thorough and appropriate.”
Speaking of this, he said with a sneer, "It's ridiculous that Luo Hanyi, when he first took over the palace, acted like he was born in a famous family and had everything he could get. He wished he could have abolished all the rules of the empress to show off her legs... You simply don't know how high the sky is! No! Otherwise, I hope she has a good mother-in-law, and let’s talk about my concubine, even those old people in the palace can let her die cleanly!”
Those words are half true and half false. The ability of Queen Ji, the third generation Phoenix Master of the Ji family, to handle palace affairs is definitely guaranteed - after all, she has the experience of two generations of elders in the first place.
However, what Concubine Xuan did when she abandoned the Ji family was actually right. Qiu Yunfenghuang had not rushed into the battle at the beginning, and did not have a strong natal family to rely on, so she would not be too aggressive in the palace, and she would not use Empress Ji's Example.
Using Empress Ji's example, no matter how good she is, she can't show off her capabilities to Xiao Gui and Cao Sui.
But when Concubine Xuan was refuted in front of the Empress, Yun Fenghuang would not have felt guilty: "My dear mother, the Empress Dowager, and Bidong's thoughts are not with the empress, so I would rather have that Feng Huang." It is better for the empress to walk alone than to take care of Concubine Xuan. After all, the empress dowager has a special status and cannot be touched lightly. If she can take advantage of Ouyang Yanran's courtship, the emperor will have no time to take care of the harem and take care of Concubine Xuan and the others. …”
"I came to Chongchang Hall to tell you whether I would come to help me." Empress Ji put down the tea bowl, glanced at her, and said with a smile, "It turns out that up to now, have you done anything trivial? There are some serious things going on, but I can’t help you. It’s not even a day or two, so I have to ask you to hang around me. As for me, I just take care of it. Yourself?"
Yun Fenghuang had an innocent look on his face: "My queen doesn't know that I'm in the wrong house with the one from Chunhuang Palace, so why shouldn't I be upset? Otherwise, I wouldn't have had a secret affair with my queen. Is that possible? The empress must be well aware of the meaning of someone being wrong to your Majesty. Furthermore, that person is not that idiot Mrs. Chunke, and Chunnuo Palace is not the place she has been running for many years. How can it be enough for a moment? Succeed? The thing you asked for is so easy to do. There are so many people in the queen's legs, so why bother looking for a concubine?"
Empress Ji said: "It is true that Chunwu Palace should not act too hastily, but that is not the only thing Ji Ji has to worry about in the palace."
"Please give me your Majesty's instructions?" Yun Fenghuang knew that Ji was not happy to cooperate and had not benefited from it himself, so he began to ask for rewards.
Just listen to the Queen say: "My direct cousin Mu Zi was demoted to Yuwan because of her past. Although she gave birth to the twin princes of the East, she was still not promoted to the throne... That is not appropriate. Otherwise, I also know that she was This matter has offended Bidong. Therefore, it is not easy for me to mention that matter to her, but you have to trouble me to tell her about it in front of Bidong?"
"It's not a trivial matter." Yun Fenghuang agreed, "No, I'm afraid it will be troublesome to restore the concubine position..."
Empress Ji frowned slightly: "If the concubine position cannot be restored, why should I come to me?"
Even if Ji Muzi displeased Chunjia, as a queen who regained control of the Sixth Palace, she could do that.
Especially the cousin is very good at giving birth to children.
"Your Majesty, Ji Yuwan's heir Rumingjiao was raised by the Queen Mother, and many of the childless concubines in the Sixth Palace are not involved. This shows how firm Bidong's heart is." Yun Fenghuang was confused, "Even if I am in Bidong I'm a bit mean-spirited, so how can I persuade Bidong to make an exception like that? Even if I force it, Bidong will definitely doubt me. I'm afraid it's not a good thing for the empress."
Empress Ji smiled and said: "Such a thing is very difficult for other people. But if it is for me, Concubine Xian, there is no way to do it, right? Is the situation I was in when I entered the palace better?" Even someone as smart as Concubine Shu thinks that I will definitely die. I have managed to earn a living, but in turn, I have made everyone else suffer... So why should I belittle myself?"
Seeing that Yun Fenghuang was asking for excuses, the queen stopped laughing and said in a calm tone, "Although Mu Zi's restoration to the imperial concubine position is not what Bidong wants to see, it is nothing compared to the safety of his loving mother, the Empress Dowager. If not, then Xian Fei would I think it can't be done, so do I think that my so-called joint effort to eradicate Chunwu Palace is just a gimmick, used to coax the Ji family to help me become the fourth concubine? In fact, it has no meaning at all? "
Speaking of that, Yun Fenghuang, although not without a look on his face, agreed to Donglai: "I'll give it a try on my own... I'm afraid there's something in between that requires your cooperation?"
Empress Ji changed her amiable smile for a moment, and said in a friendly manner: "I am his ally, how can I ignore you?"
Yun Fenghuang promised Donglai with concern: "Let me think about it, I will give you an answer in March... no, I will give you an answer in May!"
