Yun Fenghuang calmly picked up the book, turned it over, and closed it calmly: "Your Majesty, isn't this just right?"
"Just right?" Chunjia raised an eyebrow at her.
"Although Ouyang Yanran is a mature and stable minister and loyal to the late emperor and His Majesty, he has just returned after being away for many years." Yun Fenghuang said, "Wouldn't it be good to have Luo's help?"
Chunjia hummed: "How did you promise me before?"
Yun Fenghuangli said confidently: "Luo Hanyi and Ouyang Fulu were only demoted, and Xiu Yixiu was still in a high position in the palace. Does this mean that I am merciless to them? Moreover, Luo Hanyi cultivated Bao Niang and wanted to introduce them. To your majesty, Ouyang Fulu kept a low profile and waited for his grandfather to make a big splash... Your majesty, these two are not innocent, and they can't be considered as my concubine breaking her promise! Furthermore, this time was originally the fault of the Ji family, and at most I didn't inform them. That’s all.”
Then he muttered, "Didn't I just tell you about Princess Minghui?"
Chunjia laughed angrily: "You just told me that the Queen Mother and the Queen Mother were dissatisfied with Ming Hui's marriage and would take action, but they didn't mention the second concubine at all... It's okay now. There are rumors both inside and outside that there is a relationship between my concubine and the prospective consort. There seems to be collusion, are you happy?"
"I never thought that the Ji family would be so sinister!" Yun Fenghuang cried out, "otherwise, how could I help them hide it? What the queen told me was that she would arrange for Wang Ling to go out with Luo Hanyi's concubine, who was not taken seriously. What is the relationship between the sisters... How can I imagine that they actually dare to tamper with His Majesty’s holy reputation?!”
Then he added, "But the way things are now, I don't think it's a bad thing? For the sake of their own reputation, the Luo family and the Ouyang family are going to fight against the Ji family now, right? Isn't this good for Your Majesty?"
Chunjia stared at her for a while and teased: "Is it good for me? Is it better for you?"
"Of course I wish that the Luo family and the Ouyang family have fallen, so I can't act like a noble lady in front of me." Yun Fenghuang tilted his head and smiled at him, with an innocent look on his face, "But this is just incidental. In the final analysis, it is still necessary for Your Majesty to kill and seize me within the inner world of Jiyu as soon as possible. Only in this way can I be able to show off my power and have nothing to fear!"
"..." Chunjia snorted and ignored her, dealt with a few government affairs, took a sip of tea, and then asked with a cold face, "Do you know who the Ji family wants Minghui to drop?"
Yun Fenghuang hurriedly walked over to give him some tea, pursed his lips and said with a smile: "The queen didn't say much about this matter, but I remember that Ji family had inquired about the poor people before, and at that time thought they had bad intentions. , deliberately sabotaging His Majesty's plan... Thinking about it now, it seems that the Queen Mother's intention is to find a consort from a poor family for Her Royal Highness Princess Minghui? Of course, it must be the kind who loves the Ji family in her heart. "
Chunjia frowned slightly and said, "The Empress Dowager has always thought of herself very highly."
"I also feel that the Queen Mother, the Queen Mother, normally looks down on the children of poor families." Yun Fenghuang nodded. She still remembered that when she first entered the palace, she went to Mianfu Palace every day to say hello. Queen Mother Ji had little regard for her. personal.
Even though she was born as a concubine, she still had to flatter Princess Minghui in order to win the favor of the Queen Mother.
This shows the arrogance of Queen Mother Ji.
The Queen Mother was also qualified to be arrogant. She was born as the direct daughter of the Ji family. She had an aunt whose mother respected the world. She reserved a phoenix throne when she was still young. After entering the palace, although Xiaozong also had three palaces and six courtyards, she took advantage of the Ji family. She had great power and had to be taken care of by her aunt. When Ji Sheng became the queen, she was much more powerful than the current queen Ji Lingzi - she truly swept the Sixth Palace without any rival.
The beauty of the country, the fragrant white moonlight and the cinnabar mole are all insignificant in front of her.
She alone has the final say in such a large palace.
This can be seen from the fact that Emperor Xiaozong died without any children, and the eldest of the three princesses was Princess Myung Hye.
The only regret she had in her life was probably meeting an heir like Chun Jia.
So how could Empress Dowager Ji catch the eye of the concubines of the Chunjia Dynasty
How could such a queen mother choose a son from a poor family to be the consort for her daughter
Even if she didn't want to fulfill Princess Minghui's wish for Ji Minggan, she should choose from the best from famous families.
Yun Fenghuang then guessed, "Maybe you want Princess Minghui to suppress the consort?"
This was put euphemistically. What she really wanted to say was that most men really couldn't accept Princess Minghui's appearance. That is to say, there is a huge gap in status between her and the princess. It is already a blessing to be the master, and I don't dare to ask for more - only then can I respect the princess from the bottom of my heart.
If you were a son of an aristocratic family, let alone someone like Ji Minggan who was spoiled by his family background and didn't take his wealth seriously.
They are the brothers of people like Luo Hanyi and Ouyang Fulu. If you ask him to respect the princess, he can do it. If you ask him to enshrine the princess as an ancestor...
It's really difficult.
After all, with their origins and knowledge, it can't be said that they are not in awe of the Tian family, but they are definitely not as trembling as the common people.
"Minghui is the legitimate princess, and I must treat her well." Chunjia shook her head slightly and said, "It was like this when Ji was there, and it will become even more so after Ji passed away. Otherwise, how can I be worthy of my heir? If you think about it from this point of view, Minghui will come to the family. Son is better."
He narrowed his eyes, "Because the family members know how to treat Minghui well."
Princess Minghui is the only direct descendant of Xiaozong, which brings great political convenience.
And if you want to maximize this, there is no doubt that Shijiazi is better at it.
"Perhaps the Queen Mother is afraid that the family members will understand too well?" Yun Fenghuang asked quietly.
Being able to eat everything without admitting it is also the strength of a family member!
If the Ji family falls and Empress Dowager Ji is unable to protect Princess Minghui, the consort from a noble family will first take advantage of the princess's identity, and then look at the emperor with a look that makes people feel cold... Then Queen Mother Ji will be angry to death
Is it safer to simply find a kid from a poor family who is simple and easy to control
Chunjia pondered deeply and was about to speak when someone from the palace came in to report that it was Princess Minghui who wanted to see her.
"What a coincidence." Yun Fenghuang pursed his lips and smiled when he heard this, "But I don't know what the princess is here for at this moment?"
Most probably they heard the rumors and came here to cause trouble.
The two emperors and concubines were thinking so, but they pretended to be nonchalant and asked people to invite the princess in.
After a while, Princess Minghui walked in holding the hand of the palace maid. I don't know if it was because of the rumors. She had lost a lot of weight. Although she was still fat, her eyebrows could already be seen as somewhat beautiful.
"Brother Imperial!" After entering the palace and bowing, the princess choked out in frustration, "Brother Imperial, please make the decision for me!"
Chunjia said gently: "Minghui, don't be anxious. I have asked the Imperial City Department to conduct a thorough investigation. I must give you justice! If Wang Linglai is really a bad person, how can I wrong you?"
"Wang Ling is here?" The imperial concubine thought that she must have come here for her marriage, but Princess Minghui was startled when she heard this, but said, "It's up to the emperor to make the decision in this matter. I'm here to ask the emperor for permission to move back to Yao." Jade Palace, you have the final say on your own food expenses!”
When she said the last sentence, she stamped her foot angrily.
"Are you going back to Yaoyu Palace?" According to the rules, older princesses will stay in Yaoyu Palace - but Empress Dowager Ji Minghui has a daughter, so naturally she loves her very much, so she often lets her stay in Mianfu Palace for a while. After returning this time , and even let her live in Mianfu Palace.
Chunjia had never cared much about this matter. He just wanted to seize power, and he didn't hate Wu Jiwu for tormenting Xiaozong's biological daughter. At this moment, he was a little surprised when he heard this, "Does Empress Ji agree?"
Ming Hui said angrily: "It's because my mother didn't agree, so I came to see the emperor's brother - the emperor's brother just accepted me!"
He stepped forward and took Chunjia's sleeve, pleading with his eyes.
Chunjia and Yun Fenghuang looked at each other and softened their voices: "According to the rules, you should have lived in Yaoyu Palace. Because Empress Ji felt sorry for you, she took you to Mianfu Palace. Now I want to I have no objection to going back to Yaoyu Palace. But I have to inform Mother Ji after all."
Seeing that she was about to cry, he said calmly, "Your marriage has been decided. If nothing unexpected happens, it will be married at the end of the year. Even if you can still go to the palace to visit Empress Ji from time to time, it is not as good as being in the palace now." It's convenient. It's human nature for Empress Ji to be reluctant to let you go to Yaoyu Palace, so why not show some sympathy to Empress Ji?"
"From time to time, I..." Minghui hesitated and said with a sad face, "I don't want to listen to my mother anymore!!!"
Chunjia asked hurriedly: "What did Queen Mother Ji tell you to make you so angry?"
"I..." Minghui wanted to say but looked very worried, and finally said angrily, "Anyway, I want to go back to Yaoyu Palace with Jinyun Penglai, and I will eat whatever they eat! Brother Emperor, just tell me whether you agree or not!" "
"This..." Chunjia hesitated, and Minghui became anxious: "Brother, you said you love me before!!!"
Chunjia looked helpless: "Because I love you and respect my mother, I can't let you mother and daughter have a grudge! You came here to make this request without any idea. How can I agree to it? Just I'm afraid that if the front leg accepts you, the queen mother will come and question you on the back leg... How should I explain?"
Minghui bit her lip, because she really wanted to leave Mianfu Palace, so she secretly explained the reason: Queen Mother Ji was too attached to her!
After the mother and daughter reunited, they said she was so thin that she asked someone to stew nourishing food to replenish her daughter's body.
"I have obviously lost a lot of weight during the half-year period when my mother was not in the palace. But when my mother came back, I...I would be fat again, even worse!" Ming Hui said bitterly, "How many times have I told you that my health is very good and I don't need supplements! Besides, wouldn't it be good if I lost some weight? But the Queen Mother just doesn't listen!"
The emperor's concubine was a little regretful when she heard this. She thought it was something. It turned out that it was the doted princess who made her jealous.
Chunjia smiled and persuaded Minghui a few words. Seeing her firm attitude, she agreed: "It's just that I, the royal princess, don't need to serve people with sex. If I go to Yaoyu Palace, I can't cut down on the meal too much. Otherwise , I still want you to go back to Queen Mother Ji, do you understand?"
He was happy to allow the princess to leave Mianfu Palace and let Queen Mother Ji worry about it, so as not to have too much time and find things for him to do.
But I don't want Minghui to break away from the control of Queen Mother Ji and stop eating or drinking in order to lose weight. When something goes wrong, people will say that he can't see Xiaozong's good blood.
Chunjia does not carry this kind of pot.
... After Princess Minghui left with satisfaction, Yun Fenghuang said: "This is really strange. How can a teenage girl, even a princess, not love beauty? Even at the age of the mother-in-law and the empress dowager, she is still a virgin. She is as light as a swallow, graceful and beautiful, why do you have to raise the princess to be fat and white?"
Chunjia said casually: "Maybe all mothers are like this, and Queen Mother Yuan always says that I have lost weight."
As soon as he finished speaking, he realized that he seemed to have poked Concubine Xian in the heart
Fortunately, Yun Fenghuang didn't care about it and just said: "Meng'er is not fat either. Normally, the fatter kid is actually cute, but I never advise her to eat more. She just needs to be healthy."
Chunjia quickly changed the subject: "By the way, Meng'er has been home for a while, but I don't know when to pick her back?"
