Although Meng Youyi and Yuan Zhiniang had only been in the palace for a short period of time, after all, they were the masters hired by the Empress Dowager Yuan. Yun Fenghuang felt like facing a formidable enemy at that time, and it was very difficult for him to spend a lot of effort to deal with the mistake - even if there was a mistake. Concubine Xuan and Concubine Rui were in front, and the two men never relaxed their surveillance on her.
Otherwise, she knew the truth of the matter just a little bit. At that time, her words aroused the anger between the two of them. She felt that the heat was almost over, so she said slowly: "We are both young and ignorant." , I don’t want to think about who originally promised us that we could choose our own place after arriving?"
"And when we arrive tomorrow, who will take us everywhere to choose a place?"
"Is Mrs. Ji deliberately trying to sow discord? But we are stupid and easily lead by the nose!"
"Do you understand why the Red Queen stopped coming to the palace even after she fell from the phoenix chariot? Do you think you just started it intentionally and don't intend to deal with the aftermath?"
Meng Youyi and Yuan Zhiniang looked at each other angrily, feeling a little confused after hearing those words.
After a moment, both of them came to their senses and said in disbelief: "Is that something the Queen...?"
Meng Youyi couldn't help but said: "Can I go and discuss with Yuan Zhaoyuan beforehand whether we can change places on a whim..."
"I am the legitimate daughter of a famous family, and my background is similar to that of the queen. Even if my father and brother are their own masters, it is very difficult for the female family members to have any contact with each other in the imperial capital." Yun Fenghuang said disapprovingly, "Not to mention that the Ji family has been in power for many years, and has eyes and ears all over the east. , is it difficult to find out what I like? Knowing that Yefangyuan is what I like, he arranged for the palace manager who had led us to choose here to deliberately conceal the truth and let me choose Ruming's residence. So even if I'm tomorrow, If you don’t look for Yuan Zhaoyuan, I’ll see you in a few months. I’ll ask you to go for a walk. After you leave, you’ll hear that the chairs you walked past were chopped up and used as firewood, won’t you be angry?”
Then he said to Yuan Zhiniang, "I am also a fool. People from Didong dragged things from the main hall to use them as firewood. I don't know anything."
Yuan Zhiniang was both ashamed and aggrieved: "Mother, I'm here for the first time. I'm just instructing people to arrange the boxes and cages. All the messy people in the front have gone to the port, so I really have no time to take care of the kitchen."
"That's not true." Yun Fenghuang sighed and pinched his forehead, "I will also have this incident tomorrow. Otherwise, I was neglecting to settle a pair of royal heirs."
Meng Youyi and Yuan Zhiniang didn't even talk about it. Then they were too clumsy and didn't realize that they were being tricked by the queen. This bothered you, Concubine Xian, so... Yun Fenghuang calmly listened to their compliments. , do you think it’s good to have high status and real power? Aren’t the two concubines quite proud when they first entered the palace
The scene was a serious one, but the eyes were full of arrogance.
The look in Yun Fenghuang's eyes revealed the self-confidence that "that person would have done better if he had been lucky enough to catch the opportunity."
How long has it been since he became so well-behaved and sensible
Is a position of power really a good thing
She enjoyed it for a while, then slowly said, "That's all, if it's getting late tomorrow, and I'd like to pay my respects to my mother, the Queen Mother, tomorrow, let's go back and settle down first, and leave the palace people involved in the matter to the east." , I will ask someone to tie up the palace manager and come over for a thorough investigation. On a hot day, we have worked so hard to come here from the palace city, why don’t we just want to be comfortable? It turns out that we just came here for such a thing, it seems It’s time for the palace in the east to be reorganized.”
The so-called Empress Ji deliberately engineered the quarrel between the two concubines was of course not what Yun Fenghuang said casually. Her purpose was the last sentence: to find a reason to clean the palace while Empress Ji was not there, and try to replace it with My own human legs!
Therefore, Yun Fenghuang has no idea whether the incident was accidental or a conspiracy.
In order to prevent the Empress Dowager or the Empress Dowager from disrupting the situation after receiving the news, she acted very quickly. She did not send anyone to tell Chunjia, but ordered people to tie up all the relevant people and directly torture them.
The manager of the palace had always denied the appointment of the Ji family. He was a bit arrogant at first and denied provoking the second concubine. He asked her why a concubine could touch the manager appointed by the queen herself - Yun Fenghuang was in a hurry. Where could he go? Kong and that kind of person were killed on the spot: "Check the family members and follow the rules. A slave who obeys orders fell in front of me and put on airs, which is unreasonable. , Do you think I am so weak and easy to bully?"
After killing the chickens to scare the monkeys, the remaining people from the east became much more honest. She took advantage of the situation to get to know the palace in the east, replaced some people, added or deleted some rules, and initially established her authority. At that time, the queen mother As expected, someone came from the Queen Mother's side.
The attendant of the Queen Mother, Fu Ji, looked very unhappy. He entered the door, bowed, and then held back his anger and asked: "The Queen Mother explained that there was a lot of noise in the palace. I dare to ask the Concubine Xian, if something happened?" ?”
"None of those damn servants, they don't care about the royal family's kindness, and they just do things that take advantage of others." Yun Fenghuang said kindly, "I am already dealing with it. Please don't worry, the Queen Mother, we will finish the work at that time." Yes, it’s good if the horse is here.”
Upon hearing this, the attendant glanced at Tangtang consciously, and was stunned by the sight of several bloody acquaintances. He knew that Yun Fenghuang was not easy to deal with, so he excused himself with a few words, and returned to Queen Mother Ji, where he couldn't wait to leave. Report: "...My queen, your wife Xian Fei has gone too far. This is not the human body you arranged with the queen. I have been serving you for so many years. I looked at you just now and you didn't look like you were alive."
"The quarrel between the two concubines, Bu Nao, actually has such vicious legs!"
"Why does she care about the dispute between the Meng family and the Little Yuan family?" Empress Dowager Ji raised a sarcastic smile on her lips and said coldly, "Will she take this opportunity to eliminate dissidents...or not, walking in the palace without the queen? In the town, the two elders of the Ai family and the Empress Dowager couldn't bear to fight with her in person because of her status as a foreigner. Unfortunately, even if there were others who were interested in Ji's family, none of them could resist... "
She breathed out and said nonchalantly, "Anyway, after the disaster at the beginning of the year, the palace has been evacuated. Those old people in Ru Ming can be dealt with as long as the Concubine Xian asks for them. I'll go find out, if not The family members have not been involved, so let the people of Didong live in peace and comfort. If Concubine Xian intends to eradicate the problem, I will talk to the Ai family again."
The attendant whispered: "Did the Concubine Xian ordered her family members to take it together? She said... If the beam is not right and the beam is crooked, the family members must not be good. If they let it go, they will do bad things."
Empress Dowager Ji was not angry and said calmly: "If she asks for advice, just let her go. A little quarrel is not a big deal."
"The Queen Mother." The confidant of the attendant hesitated at this moment and whispered, "Why did the Queen Mother ask to stay in the palace this time? The Mother Queen Mother and the Holy Mother Queen Mother did not dare to get up, and they both have attendants who have been following them for many years. Even if the queen stays in the east, she still..."
I can't do anything with my legs.
As for Shun Jieyu's birth, the attendants didn't mention it directly, because everyone knew that Chunjia, who already had three sons and a daughter, did not think the emperor's need for an heir was so urgent.
Especially Shun Jieyu is not favored.
The Queen did not gain much from killing Shun Jieyu and her mother, but she might have helped Yun Fenghuang.
Let the support of Yi Guogong's lineage be more concentrated at the head of Xuanqing Palace.
Therefore, the attendants were puzzled as to why Empress Ji wanted to stay in the palace even though she harmed herself.
Wouldn't that give Concubine Xian an opportunity to seize power in the palace and clean up the palace
...No, even those who disliked Empress Dowager Ji believed that it was Ji herself who had thrown the queen in the chariot, and the purpose was to let Empress Ji stay in the imperial capital.
"..." After hearing those words, Queen Mother Ji's eyes became a little wandering. She was lost in thought for a while, and then she said calmly, "I won't bother with that."
The waiter immediately stopped talking.
Because the Empress Dowager and Empress Dowager Ji stayed put, Yun Fenghuang's cleaning of the palace went very smoothly. It was so smooth that she was suspicious of whether the two wanted to kill her without stopping.
She even went to Chunjia to act coquettishly, begging him to tell the palace guards to take a good look at the borrowed moon building where she lived.
When Chunjia set off from the imperial capital, he brought a large number of government affairs with him. Apart from occasionally summoning concubines to relieve fatigue, the journey was full of traffic even when the imperial carriage was in progress.
Although the Imperial City Secretary would help him keep an eye on all the goings-on in the former harem, they would not bother him by taking the initiative to report anything that was of particular urgency during a busy time.
Therefore, when I received her report and learned about the turmoil, I couldn't help but laugh and cry: "I knew I was scared at that time, but why didn't you tell me when I was going to do legwork? Did you ask me to send some people to do it for me?"
"Are you afraid that the Empress Dowager or the Empress Dowager will send someone to stop you, and then you won't be able to move your legs?" Yun Fenghuang tugged at his sleeves, stroking them back and forth, and said softly, "But who knows what they were doing at that time? None, it’s like I’m really angry... I don’t think I feel guilty and scared!”
Chunjia said to her: "I wonder if you are really afraid and dare to do that?"
But it was not his idea to clean up the palace, so naturally he would not blame Concubine Xian for doing this. He joked a few words and really told the guards to be alert and not to slack off... Yun Fenghuang's goal was achieved, so he joked with him for a while. So I resigned.
Returning to Jieyue Xiaozhu, after thinking for a while, he ordered someone to invite Concubine Xuan and Ruifei over.
After a while, the second concubine was invited. Yun Fenghuang asked people to watch tea and give them seats. After a few pleasantries, they cleared the room and got to the point, telling them about the dispute between Meng Youyi and Yuan Zhiniang.
The second concubine didn't know what she meant by what she said, so she was too cautious to express her position.
Yun Fenghuang said: "I have a lot of things to do in this palace. I really want to take care of the emperor's heirs and not go around in circles with us. Although there are some grudges and quarrels between us, in the final analysis, we are all from Bidong. However, If the Ji family gains power, the consequences will be obvious! Therefore, I thought that although the previous court meeting exempted the queen from being grounded for three years and entrusted the palace affairs to me and the two of them, the queen was not in the palace at that time. Everything is taken care of by me. Firstly, I am not very skilled in this matter; secondly, although we are young and have little knowledge, how many people in the past and future have been born to know this?"
"If you don't let us keep fighting, how long will it take for us to be able to stand alone?" "
"So the two of us will deal with the palace affairs that come from the east. As for me, let us keep an eye on them. How about that?"
Concubine Xuan and Concubine Rui didn't know what to say for a while.
It is said that if the virtuous concubine is willing to delegate power and her words are more nurturing, they will be happy even if they are not grateful.
but…
Since those words were not spoken by Yun Fenghuang, I still feel like there is some conspiracy
Seeing that they didn't answer immediately, Yun Fenghuang raised his eyebrows: "What? We don't want to, don't we think we can't do it?"
