When Yun Fenghuang returned to Huanhua Hall, Chunjia was already here. After she saw the ceremony, Chunjia asked: "How is Qingci Palace today? I heard that something went wrong when I left?"
"I was congratulating my mother, the Empress Dowager, and I toasted a few more glasses. As a result, my mother, the Empress Dowager, drank too much in joy. She actually felt unwell and had to leave the banquet. A good dinner was ruined." Yun Fenghuang. She twirled the hairpin on her temples and said nonchalantly, "Xu Qingci Palace looked angry, and took advantage of Concubine Xuan's maid to be alone, and gave her some embarrassment... I promised the Empress Dowager, my loving mother, that after two I’ll get it back in a day.”
Chunjia raised her eyebrows and said, "How come Concubine Xuan's maid is left alone?"
Yun Fenghuang snorted: "It's not convenient to ask questions at the gate of Qingci Palace, but I guess that the little palace maid wanted to stand out in front of the master and was squeezed out. Otherwise, Concubine Xuan would be the only one with her today. There are a lot of people there, so why is she going back to pick up the things she left behind without any companions?"
He added, "If Concubine Xuan does not change her previous plan, I am afraid that I will soon have to congratulate Your Majesty and find another beautiful woman."
"What's wrong with a beautiful woman?" Chunjia laughed and cursed, then came to her senses and said, "You mean Concubine Xuan wants that little palace maid?"
Yun Fenghuang said: "It is said that she was promoted by the rough envoy of the side hall of Yanlan Palace. She is very fair and beautiful. But when Concubine Xuan entered the palace, she brought many people to serve her. Why did she choose such a strange person to keep beside her? , and brought it to Qingci Palace? Most likely because he wanted to recommend it to His Majesty, so he promoted it in advance."
Chunjia didn't believe it: "You are so jealous that I don't even bother to say anything. It has only been a few days since Concubine Xuan entered the palace? Do you think you can do this? Besides, you also said that when she entered the palace, she brought many children from her family as dowry. It’s not like there are no good ones. Even if you want to recommend someone to me, wouldn’t it be good to recommend a dowry? Recommending a rough envoy left by the Zheng family, even if he served in the side hall before, may not be a person of the Zheng family, what’s the benefit? ?”
"Your Majesty is really interested in Concubine Xuan!" Yun Fenghuang glanced at him sideways when he heard this, and his expression changed. "Could it be that he has already fallen in love with Concubine Xuan? But he is a capable man who came as a dowry, how can he let it go? Give it to you? No, in order not to offend you, and to give you an explanation, I can only use the maid left behind by the Zheng family as a shield. Do you think this is true? "
Chunjia couldn't laugh or cry and said: "Don't interrupt, is that what happened? I just said that your previous speculation was wrong."
Yun Fenghuang chuckled and said, "Really? There are quite a few people in the Xuanqing Palace where Your Majesty comes to concubine me. Please tell me, is it better for me to have children on my left side, or for Concubine Xuan to have children on my left side?"
Chunjia subconsciously wanted to coax her and said, of course you are a good student, how can Concubine Xuan be compared to your personal attendant? But before the words came out, she woke up and said hurriedly: "My dear concubine, the beauty of the country is heavenly and fragrant, and you are so sad in front of you. It's dull, but I can't remember what's good about it. After all, Concubine Xuan's appearance is not as good as that of Concubine Ai, so against the background, she looks fat and thin, each with her own merits."
"..." Yun Fenghuang didn't find any fault. He just smiled and said, "Your Majesty likes to say such words to coax me."
Chunjia cursed in her heart, you seemed so happy to hear it, but you didn't mean to refuse.
Just as he was about to tease the concubine, Yun Fenghuang continued: "Your Majesty, just watch. Even if Concubine Xuan is tired of this palace maid, she will still recommend someone else to you in two days."
Chunjia smiled and said, "What if not?"
"It's impossible." Yun Fenghuang curled his lips and said, "The Empress Dowager and the Empress Dowager did not come back, and the Empress was ill. In this palace, I was confronting Concubine Xuan and Concubine Rui. At that time, they had the favor of their loving mother, the Empress Dowager. , with family background to rely on, there is no rush. After all, they have just entered the palace, and there is no need to consider finding someone to favor them. But now that the two have come back, the loving mother Queen Mother has turned to support them in becoming concubines. Their family background is in the century I can’t have any advantage in front of you, so how can I not be anxious?”
"Look at the two banquets held at Qingci Palace, how can Concubine Xuan and Concubine Rui speak up? She is no different from an ordinary concubine."
"I want to get ahead now, but I don't have a concubine who can relieve His Majesty's worries. What can I do if I don't rely on heirs?"
Chunjia said: "They have only been in the palace for a few days, and they are not incapable of giving birth, so why recommend the palace maids?"
I immediately regretted saying this.
Fortunately, Yun Fenghuang didn't mean to be angry, and said calmly: "They have been serving His Majesty for some time, but there has been no good news, so they can't help but worry that the heir is not destined. Besides, how can a daughter from such a noble family not come to the palace without any good news? The importance of raising children? Pick a day when it is not easy for you to conceive and arrange for some palace servants who think it is suitable to have children. If you don't succeed, you will not lose anything. If you succeed, they will also have princes and daughters. In this way, among the elders and the In front of Your Majesty, wouldn’t it be good if the mother should be more precious than the son?”
The most important thing is that the two children under Yun Fenghuang's knees have taken over the identity of the eldest son and eldest daughter, especially the eldest son.
And although the eldest prince suffered a lot in his mother's womb, there has been no bad news since his birth. In addition, Ji Muzi gave birth to the second prince and the third prince. In this way, for Concubine Xuan and others, For example, even if the heirs of the palace people are ranked ahead of his own flesh and blood, the impact will not be big.
After all, since they are all concubines, except for the eldest son who will receive some bonuses, other royal heirs will not receive any preferential treatment in the front and back rows. It depends on the ability and status of the mother.
"Their status was given by their father and brother." Chunjia did not dare to continue this topic, because she was afraid that it would accidentally involve Yun Fenghuang's inability to give birth, so she said vaguely, "What are you using these means for? I won't pay attention to it. of."
Then he changed the subject, "Can I talk to your brother today?"
Yun Fenghuang said angrily: "Today, the empress dowager and the empress dowager are looking at three potential consorts, how can I give me the time to talk to my brothers?"
He sighed again, "Speaking of which, I haven't seen my brothers in the family for a long time. Brother Twenty-one can just pay it back. Twenty-two and Twenty-three, they all grew up with me. In terms of closeness, they are better than brothers from the same mother." Thirteenth brother and the others are even worse, and I don’t know how they are doing lately?”
Seeing that she really didn't think about having children, Chunjia breathed a sigh of relief and said, "What's so difficult about this? In two days, just let them come to the palace to talk and have a meal. Your status now is only As a queen, you should have such convenience."
"But on the queen's side..." Yun Fenghuang said hesitantly, "I am not afraid of her objection, but I am afraid that she will also let the Ji family's disciples enter and leave the palace. Wouldn't it be more convenient for the Ji family to conspire? Let's forget it. , after His Majesty takes care of the Ji family, I will get together with my brothers. I and my brothers are both young, so it’s not like I can’t afford to wait."
Chunjia said with a smile: "There is no way to solve this."
Yun Fenghuang glanced at him, thought for a moment, leaned over and kissed his cheek, and asked with a smile: "Then will your Majesty tell me?"
"I'm busy at the moment." Chunjia didn't say anything. He waited for her to hold her arm and act coquettishly for a while, then coughed dryly and said, "When I have some free time in three to five days, I'll call Xie Wuzheng and the others to Taichu Palace for an audience. , when the time comes, I’ll give you a small party in the side hall, but I’ll just leave food for you, but I won’t be able to.”
"Your Majesty is the best!" Yun Fenghuang didn't feel bad if he couldn't save food. Would the brothers be hungry? A young man would not die of hunger even if he didn't eat a few meals. Hearing this, he was overjoyed and rushed towards him to hug him. , "I like Your Majesty the most!"
Chunjia was very calm: "Yes, I know."
I say this every time, am I such an easy person to coax? !
The emperor's eyes were crooked, well, in front of the virtuous concubine, I am indeed.
Yun Fenghuang then excitedly prepared to meet the brothers he hadn't seen for a long time. He changed his clothes several times, but Chunjia couldn't stand it and said to her: "We are all blood brothers. You are dressed like this." Jin'er, you were never so enthusiastic when you saw me!"
This concubine had dressed up and waited for him to come, but now? I was wearing a half-worn skirt that I had made last year and had been washed. I heard that the holy driver would not change it when he arrived.
Although the color is good, it doesn't look too shabby.
But the key is to slack off - of course Chunjia knows that Luo Yunfenghuang will definitely not accept this criticism.
Sure enough, when Yun Fenghuang heard this, he said to him: "Isn't it for me to let my brothers at home know how good your Majesty is to me? Otherwise, my brothers will see that my clothes have been washed and faded, and my hairpin rings and jewelry are not the best. What should I do if I mistakenly think that my reputation as a virtuous concubine is false?"
Chunjia said sourly: "I told you that the lacquered pomegranate skirt looks good before. You also said that you would wear it often to show me, but after wearing it twice, you pretended that you had never said that. This time, in order to meet your brother, You have changed almost eighteen dresses, right? But you still continue, which shows that you are more patient with your brother."
"Isn't it that the Empress Dowager and the Empress Dowager are back? The Empress is back in charge of the Sixth Palace. How can I dare to cross the line?" Yun Fenghuang lay on his shoulder and acted coquettishly, "Pomegranate Skirt is so serious, I am not a virtuous person." The concubine can wear it."
When I was at home, I rarely wore a dress twice. Now that I have entered the palace and become a concubine, why should I wear old clothes one after another just because you like it? The key is that I am tired of old clothes. !
She spoke plausibly, "If the queen catches my fault and embarrasses me, it will be fine. But if it comes to your majesty favoring me too much, and going to the temple, won't this cause trouble to your majesty? I am like this How could a virtuous and kind person do such a thing?"
General Chunjia, in turn, said aggrievedly, "Furthermore, Your Majesty said that I have a good figure and will look good in anything I wear! Did it turn out that I was deceiving you? Doesn't the moon-white hidden flower skirt I am wearing now look good?" ?”
Chunjia couldn't say anything about her: "...No! My concubine looks good in anything she wears! It's just that the lacquered pomegranate skirt is particularly prettier, and this moonwhite hidden flower skirt is also particularly good-looking!"
Yun Fenghuang looked at him suspiciously: "Is what your Majesty said true? Didn't you deliberately coax me?"
"Of course, my beloved concubine is pretty and beautiful. What dress can't look good?" Chunjia picked up the tea bowl and took a sip, then suddenly thought, "By the way, the bamboo shoots for tonight's dinner are pretty good..."
He abruptly changed the subject.
Yun Fenghuang smiled secretly, pretending not to notice, and followed him to talk about eating.
Chunjia didn't dare to talk about the grand concubine's attitude, and felt that based on her understanding of the concubine, she was already so aggressive. If it was delayed for a long time, something would probably happen - so after a few days, she suddenly After taking some time off, he sent someone to summon Xie Wuzheng and others to the Taichu Palace, and also ordered someone to go to the harem to invite Yun Fenghuang.
