"Of course there will be opportunities for people like the Qu family." Yun Fenghuang pursed his lips in front of the bronze mirror and said softly, "But among the concubines in the Huanqing Palace, the Yi family has the highest status now and is also a sensible person. , If you want to get a concubine as soon as possible, who can you promote if you don't promote her? The number of times Qu went to bed was not that few, but since she failed to conceive the emperor's heir, it can be seen that there is finally a layer missing in her destiny... If she has been Be good, wait until Yi is promoted to the throne of Jieyu, and then I will make plans for her."
She waved her hand carelessly, "I am now only one step away from the back seat, so I should have some decent helpers. Although Zhaorong is docile, he comes from a high family and is familiar with the Luo family and the Ouyang family. letter."
After all, no matter how well Wei Hengyan was trained by Yun Fenghuang in the harem, if the Luo family started from the previous dynasty, persuaded the Wei family to rebel, and put pressure on the daughter in the palace to rebel...
The concubine is so unreliable as she stands firmly on her own side.
As for Shun Jieyu and Yun Qingman, there is no need to talk about it. The grudges between Yun Fenghuang and Shun Jieyu are hard to distinguish, and Yun Qingman has always been taciturn and meek to the point of cowardice, and is of no use at all.
So, it seems reasonable to recruit concubines from one's own palace and make them concubines to strengthen their reputation
The Qing man thought about it and said, "So it turns out that this servant girl is short-sighted."
The master is still thinking about making his subordinates a concubine. It can be seen that even if he is still thinking about Qi Jiulu, it won't delay the business... right
"You even think so, are you afraid that the people below have some objections to my repeated promotion of the Yi family?" Yun Fenghuang thought about it after hearing this, and suddenly stopped arranging his makeup and asked thoughtfully.
The Qing people quickly said: "Don't worry, my queen, my maid must be careful that they are not allowed to talk nonsense - whoever your queen likes to promote, it is all your grace, how can you allow them to talk too much?!"
"They are all young concubines, but there is no need to be so harsh." Yun Fenghuang shook his head and said, "Tell them that although there have been more high-ranking positions in the palace in the past two years, they have also lost the imperial concubine, Shufei, and the original Zhao. Yuan, there are still a lot of vacancies, if you are interested, you might as well find out how to make a contribution, and I will naturally help them!"
He added, "Just one thing, no private fights are allowed in Xuanqing Palace, otherwise, don't worry about my cruelty!"
She wanted to create a direct line for the long term, but she didn't want to let these concubines with mixed backgrounds fight for the concubine's position.
"Your Majesty, most of the concubines you select are from low births. I'm afraid that if you forcefully promote yourself to the position of concubine, it may not be of much use." The Qing people couldn't help but said, "Even if you ordered them to prohibit private fights, I'm afraid there will be some consequences." What kind of shallow-sighted person would take chances?"
After all, although Chunjia came to Xuanqing Palace diligently, she was not the only concubine in the end. She only visited other concubines half a month.
And Yun Fenghuang would not be able to give up the emperor again and again, so the opportunities given to the concubines below could be imagined - even those with shallow eyes would have to grit their teeth and fight for the future.
So how could we not fight
Even Yi Xing'en, who was designated by Yun Fenghuang as his future concubine, was even more jealous.
Because of her stunning beauty, if the host had not had the means to win over the emperor's heart, I might have relied on her to attract the emperor. In addition, he already has the emperor's eldest daughter by his side. As long as he does not commit suicide, it can be said that he is already protected in his old age.
Under such circumstances, she still has to compete with everyone to serve the emperor's favor. Who can not hate her
"It doesn't matter. I want to select talents, not just some playthings who can only serve me." Yun Fenghuang's eyes were cold and he said lightly, "I have to tell them not to fight privately, but if they can not I won’t stop anyone else from stepping on others to get ahead... The same goes for Yi Xing’en, I’m biased towards her, if I can’t help her up like this, then I won’t be destined to be the palace concubine!”
After pondering for a while, he added, "Of course the eldest prince and Zhao Qing will keep an eye on it. This is the bottom line."
Qing Xinxin understood: "Yes."
Even if they are not the master's biological children, the emperor's eldest son and daughter are still very valuable - especially when the emperor's eldest son is related to the important minister Yi Guogong.
Therefore, even if the concubines of Xuanqing Palace are to be screened as Gu insects, these two royal heirs are absolutely real and are not allowed to be touched.
Next, Yun Fenghuang gave some instructions on palace affairs, and the Qing people agreed one by one. Seeing that she had nothing to say, they were not sure whether the master cared about Qi Jiulu or not
Although Yun Fenghuang had promised to follow Jiang's instructions before, regardless of whether Qi Jiulu could survive this trip, he would stay out of it and never get involved.
But the people of the Qing Dynasty knew her temper well. After all, this former little mistress and now the mistress had done many things that were violated when she was a child. When she was a child, she framed Xie Fengnuo and was scorned by the Jiang family. She never swore that she would never do it again. No
Then next time next time next time next time...
But the people of the Qing Dynasty did not dare to ask, thinking that anyway, the Yunfenghuang people were in the deep palace, and they had to use their own people to communicate with the outside world. So as long as they took good care of their own people, it was probably possible that nothing would go wrong... OK
While she was thinking about it, news came from outside that Chunjia had arrived.
"Are you feeling unwell today?" Chunjia entered and saw Yi Xing'en below. He knew what he was doing, so he asked Yun Fenghuang in a low voice, "Has the imperial doctor come to see you?"
"Perhaps it's because I asked the imperial doctor to change the prescription for recuperation in the past two days. I'm a little tired today." Of course Yun Fenghuang would not tell him his real purpose. He only said with a smile, "And the people below have not bathed in the emperor's bath for a long time." Well, I’m also scared.”
Chunjia picked up the tea and took a sip, then chuckled and said, "They come from a poor family, and you have never been harsh on them. They live in fine clothes and fine food, so what are you afraid of?"
Yun Fenghuang secretly thought that the bastard raised by his aunt was indeed very knowledgeable. He immediately thought that once Wei Hengyan gave birth to a male heir, wouldn't he have to cross Gongxiang Rang
She was thinking quickly, but her face remained calm as she said, "I don't come from a high family either. Seeing how well-behaved they are, I can't help but feel distressed."
"Then you don't feel sorry for me?" Chunjia raised an eyebrow at her, feeling that this virtuous concubine was suddenly so virtuous that people were suspicious of her, so she asked with a half-smile, "Maybe she has some idea?"
Yun Fenghuang secretly cried out, but she didn't have to worry about how to get over this situation. After all, she didn't have any bad intentions. He was afraid that Chunjia would turn around and find out, no, he might have already known that Qi Jiulu was on his way to the Imperial Capital for medical treatment and would arrive soon.
Don't suspect that she pushed the concubines out to sleep with her today because she was worried about her old friend and didn't have the time to accompany him.
... Although she called Yi Xing'en over, she really couldn't think of a way to get the best of both worlds at the moment. In order to avoid confusion, she found something to do for herself to divert her attention.
But we can’t let the emperor know!
"Not yet..." Thinking of this, Yun Fenghuang decisively dismissed the blame, raised his chin in the direction of Yanfu Palace, and hummed softly, "I have been following the Queen's side to deal with palace affairs for the past two days, and I also listened to some things about the Emperor. The Queen Mother also has the teachings of the Queen Mother. The three empresses all mean that the heirs under your Majesty’s knees should be more prosperous.”
Chunjia's face darkened when he heard this. Yun Fenghuang couldn't let this matter happen. He was very careful not to mention it, so as not to poke the sore spot of the beloved concubine - Mrs. Ji said it with enthusiasm
He didn't have a good impression of the Ji family at first, but now he felt more and more disgust in his heart: this disgust not only showed pity for his beloved concubine, but also aroused the anger of the emperor's heirs who had mysteriously disappeared in the past few years. Yes, he really doesn't care much about his own flesh and blood.
But that doesn't mean he doesn't care about the people he attacks!
There is also the anger that comes from oneself: I have taken charge of the government, and I have made your Ji family feel disgraced as if you were facing a formidable enemy... Why do you still think you can bully the people I protect at will? !
Have you ever taken me seriously? !
It's just that I'm used to being patient and didn't explode on the spot. I just said calmly: "Ignore these words. Next time someone mentions it, just let them talk to me!"
The emperor said coldly, "Although my descendants cannot be compared with Taizu Taizong, they are numerous compared with Shenzong and Xiaozong. If the Empress Dowager and the Empress Dowager really want to talk about their descendants, they should ask themselves first!"
These words were extremely serious. Even if they were not said in front of the Empress Dowager and Empress Dowager Ji, but only in the Huanhua Palace, they also represented Chunjia's attitude towards these two elders.
Not only do you want to get rid of it quickly, but you definitely have no respect at all.
Yun Fenghuang was very satisfied that he had caused trouble and persuaded him to calm down with a smile: "Actually, I didn't take it to heart, but I just hindered the queen in a few things recently, which made her unhappy, and it was because of your majesty's protection. She has no choice but to use this method to stab my concubine... But I am not stupid. I know what she is thinking, so how can I still be fooled?"
Chunjia snorted: "Then why call this Yi clan here?"
When he said this, his voice was slightly louder. Yi Xing'en, who was serving His Highness, heard it and her fingers holding her sleeves trembled.
Yun Fenghuang could see clearly from his high position. He smiled and patted the emperor, scolding him for being too cruel: "I am a concubine, so I have to give the queen some face, right? Otherwise, the queen can just return the favor. The queen mother and the queen mother are above me. Isn’t it true that the Empress Dowager is also worried? She is always your Majesty’s elder, and your Majesty is wise and mighty. How can I have my reputation tarnished because of trivial matters and my own willfulness?”
"How can such a holy reputation be so easily tarnished?" Chunjia said nonchalantly, "My beloved concubine is usually bold, but sometimes she is overly cautious."
Yun Fenghuang showed a bit of sadness at the right time: "Actually, it's not just the Empress Dowager but also the Empress Dowager. Who among the three empress dowagers doesn't want your Majesty's children to prosper? After all, I am not blessed with good fortune."
Chunjia was speechless at this time, and she even wondered whether Empress Dowager Yuan had also contributed to the situation by hinting that Concubine Xian should not keep occupying the emperor even though she knew she would not survive. After all, Empress Dowager Yuan had done this kind of thing before, and not twice at once. Second-rate.
And Yun Fenghuang has been quite diligent in visiting Chunhuang Palace recently. If Empress Dowager Yuan hinted in private...
Then it's impossible for him to go to Empress Dowager Yuan to raise an army to question him, right
He could only cough dryly and try to make up for the "wronged" concubine: "If you are not blessed, why are my eldest son and eldest daughter born in Xuanqing Palace? They are strong and cute, and have great blessings?"
Realizing that he had successfully shied away the blame - the emperor would not doubt the reason why he recommended a concubine to serve as his bedmate today after Qi Jiulu's incident was reported - Yun Fenghuang took advantage of Chunjia's eagerness to make up for his mood at this moment, and persuaded him to agree to be Ji's wife in a few words. Mu Zi resumes her position as concubine.
This move is actually a bit risky.
Because just like refusing to stay with her today, she would be linked to Qi Jiulu's upcoming visit to Beijing, and even the truth that she would not hesitate to make a deal with the Ji family for Qi Jiulu would be exposed.
Therefore, Yun Fenghuang also hinted that restoring the status of Ji Muzi's concubine was to suppress before promoting.
Next, she will present a generous gift to the emperor!
Hmm...who among the Ji family should be targeted
Forget it, I haven't thought about it yet. Anyway, stabilize the emperor first, and then the queen. Let's take a step at a time.
Yun Fenghuang smiled bitterly in her heart. That man had done so much for her. Even if they were not destined to be together, how could she really watch him die
After getting the emperor's permission, Yun Fenghuang calmly changed the subject and chatted and laughed with Chunjia while waiting for the meal to be served. But he was thinking in his heart, how to catch all the people behind the scenes this time
At least, let them be afraid and not dare to make a fuss about Qi Jiulu again!
... The imperial concubine asked Yi Xingen to wait on her that night. In the middle of the dinner, a servant came in in a hurry and reported: "Your Majesty, Fuyang County is reporting urgently. Something happened to the royal mausoleum..."
After finishing speaking, he prostrated on the ground, not daring to express his anger!
The emperor's concubine was stunned for a moment, and both of them were furious!
