Hearing this, Ms. It’s okay.”
Yun Fenghuang sneered and said, regardless of whether Mr. If you want to talk about the outstanding ones, three or five will do. For the others, if you put them over in Beidi, you can still get a few compliments based on your family background. How can you get a chance to make a marriage with the Imperial Capital?"
"Not having it makes people look down on me, Mr. Xie. I think someone from a small place is really short-sighted."
"When a concubine and a concubine are born, I don't know how important I am, so I head towards the high gate with my head sharpened!"
She scolded her unceremoniously and said, "Please ask my aunt to send a message to Sister-in-law Ninth as soon as she gets back, and ask her to send people to send all the sisters away! It's okay to bring some brothers to the Imperial Capital to help. While we're at it, What is the point of marrying so many daughters when the princess is in such a low state?"
"I don't want to think about what I, the Xie family, am like now. Let alone a serious and wealthy family like the Luo family and the Ouyang family, I am just an ordinary noble person. Who can take notice of me?"
"Even if you rely on the reputation of me and Brother Twenty-One, most of the people you recruit are people who are in favor of others!"
"People like this can share wealth but not adversity. What's the use of coming here?! They're just a drag!"
"I can understand the feeling of the elders in the family who don't want to offend anyone, but that's not how this happened!"
"Send the sisters back first, oh, and bring the ones who really stand out. The candidates for the previous marriage with the Luo family haven't been decided yet, right?"
"Stop just joining in the fun, just marry a well-matched family."
"After a few years, the Xie family will have a place in the court. At that time, sisters or nieces, it is not too late to say good things... Anyway, I, the Xie family, have a large number of people. Are we afraid that it will take a few years to run out of candidates? It is just a good time to take advantage of these few years to teach the girls well. When the time comes, people will think that it is natural for His Majesty to favor Xie, instead of thinking that I am a foxy king!"
She said this in one breath, and suddenly felt something was wrong, and asked Ms. Xie, "Why didn't my mother stop this?"
"... Your mother said she was sick from anger." Xie faltered for a while before saying awkwardly, "Actually, from the news over there, the reason why these girls were brought here is... well... also for you!"
"For me?" Yun Fenghuang thought to himself, I don't want to be too comfortable in the palace, what should Xie need to worry about? It would be nice if Madam Xie didn't cause trouble for her. But then she thought about it, and her face changed, "How can you do it for me?"
Sure enough, Mrs. Xie told her in a low voice that after learning about Yun Fenghuang's series of achievements after entering the palace, the people in the North were happy that the family had the opportunity to rise rapidly, but some people began to murmur that our mother-in-law had such a problem at a young age. This kind of creation can be said to be perfect.
So what's the only imperfect thing
Of course heirs.
Even though he is raising the eldest son and daughter of the emperor, he is not his biological flesh and blood, and he has no blood relationship, right
So he suggested that instead of asking Yun Fenghuang to raise unrelated children, it would be better to send another daughter of the Xie family into the palace to "help" Yun Fenghuang have children!
"Forget it about the eldest daughter of the emperor, she is just a princess anyway. The eldest son of the emperor is in the name of Concubine Shu. Although Concubine Shu is gone, her natal family is still there. When this prince grows up, how can he devote himself to our family wholeheartedly? What? Not to mention that my aunt is also a concubine in the palace."
"When the prince grows up and runs around outside, will he have less opportunities to come into contact with Duke Yi's mansion?"
"But my wife is in the deep palace. I'm afraid she doesn't even know what the prince's heart is towards his wife."
"Isn't this a waste of money?"
"Only a prince with the blood of my Xie family can definitely give us a heart!"
Moreover, the emperor's three palaces and six courtyards are in the prime of spring and autumn, and Yun Fenghuang cannot give birth to children. There are many people who can give birth to him.
The family was even worried about Yun Fenghuang's overthinking, and even proposed to send a few girls into the palace who were suitable for childbearing but were only delicate in appearance. This should not cause Yun Fenghuang to misunderstand that the family wanted to send people in to compete with her for favor - just to help with surrogacy. - The Xie family didn’t have much of a city to begin with, and coupled with the status gap between her aunt and nephew, and her guilt over Yun Fenghuang’s entry into the palace, her niece was staring at her coldly and questioning her. She deliberately concealed it, but she was still divided by three and five. Set it clean.
After hearing this, Yun Fenghuang's face turned gloomy. It's not like she hadn't thought about Xie's family background. She would definitely be upset when she suddenly became rich.
I just feel that with the Jiang family in charge, even if some people have some small ideas, it's okay to think about it, and it is unlikely to affect her.
But now it seems that the degree of temptation for people in a position of power has been underestimated.
Jiang may not be so angry that she falls ill, but since she made such a gesture and did not stop her cousins from embarking on their journey, it shows what kind of trouble the family is in!
Even her grandparents’ generation were moved.
That's why Jiang, who has always been good at dancing, is helpless.
But Yun Fenghuang would not let these people succeed.
Not to mention that Xie's current practice of marrying one concubine and one consort will only make the real high-ranking people look down upon her, which is not a good thing for her or Xie's future. They just want to plug people into the family now. Coming in, she must give them a good look!
The reason is simple. Today, she relies solely on herself. Why is she like Empress Ji, letting her family decide everything? !
The only reason why she supports Mr. Xie is that Chunjia is not the kind of person who will be favored and established as a queen. This dog emperor depends on his family background - her aunt and uncle can't support her whole family, and there is no relationship between her and Duke Yi. There were grudges entangled again, and they couldn't trust each other. She could only use Xie to add weight to herself.
So regardless of whether Mrs. Xie's intention to arrange for other girls to come to the palace was really "good intention" or she had some ulterior motive, Yun Fenghuang just wanted to wake them up now.
She composed herself, said a few words to dismiss Mr. Xie, thought for a while, and went to Xingxin Hall to look for Chunjia.
When a fire broke out in the palace at the beginning of the year, Xingxintang was also affected to a certain extent. Fortunately, it was not as tragic as being razed to the ground. After some repairs, it was still preserved.
Chunjia was used to this place, so she stayed here again this time.
He happened to be free when Yun Fenghuang arrived, so he met him in the study without waiting.
"Isn't your aunt coming to the palace to see you today? Why are you here at this time?" Chunjia asked as soon as he saw her, "But what's the matter?"
"Isn't that right?" Yun Fenghuang was so happy that he walked over to sit on his knees and said lazily, "Didn't His Majesty say before that Mrs. Chao wanted to see me? It's just that she was injured at the time. We made an appointment to wait for her to recover from her injuries. But after such a long time, she should be healed, right? The people below didn’t even report anything, and everyone was impatient. No, my aunt just came over and mentioned that Brother Twenty-One is Shang It’s the Lord’s business, my aunt said, and the Chao family also gave me a generous gift.”
"I just remembered what I promised before."
"You haven't seen me for a long time since I got better. I'm suspicious that your majesty didn't keep your word with me, so you went around in such a big circle to remind me?"
Chunjia was busy with everything, but he actually forgot about Chao's matter after he passed away. Hearing this, he let out a "ugh" and said, "I'll ask Yan Yin to ask about it later!"
After thinking about the concubine's temperament, he teased her with a smile, "The Chao family gave such a generous gift to make us, the Concubine Xian, so considerate. I was not very willing to see her before, but now she took the initiative to propose it." Out?"
Yun Fenghuang glanced sideways at him and said, "How many gifts did they give to brother Twenty-one and the princess? How can I come over because I'm in a difficult situation? Besides, it's not all for the sake of giving this gift." Their married daughter wants to reconnect with me, maybe she thinks Brother Twenty-one can catch the eye of the royal family and wants to make friends with him?"
"My aunt and my family are all on the same page. We are fellow villagers. Even if we have had some bumps in the road before, after living next to each other for so many years, how can we still treat each other as enemies?"
"But I intend to fix it, so I thought about letting me relax."
So don't think too much, thinking that the reason why Chao's family is willing to pay a big price to let Chao and I meet is because there are huge secrets between the two parties, such as the one related to Qi Jiulu...
Yun Fenghuang sighed inwardly, feeling that he was really miserable.
Why didn't you tell so many truths in the first place
Now I have to tell lies one after another to cover up lies. I don’t know how long this kind of life will last...
She swore and added, "Besides, it's not good for Chao to be living in the Imperial City Division all the time. It's better to take care of things early and let her take people back to the North. Otherwise, His Majesty's people will have to spend time to protect her." Yes, isn’t this the person who tripped you up for nothing?”
Chunjia reached out and pinched her cheek, and said with a smile: "I was just joking, you said a lot. My beloved's mouth is really like a pair of scissors!"
"Your Majesty doesn't care about me anymore, so you say this." Yun Fenghuang gave him a resentful look, "Your Majesty was not like this in the past. In the past, your Majesty said that I am smart, quick-thinking, articulate and the most popular with you... As expected, Concubine Xuan and Ruifei When they entered the palace, Your Majesty saw that I was very old and yellow... "
She flirted with Chunjia for a while, and then stood up and left after Yan Yin brought in another pile of booklets.
Returning to the Moon-Borrowing Villa, Yun Fenghuang thought for a while and asked the Qing people to choose a few concubines who were pretty, calm, but rarely lucky. After questioning them one by one, they made arrangements. .
In the evening of that day, Chunjia sent someone to pass the news, saying that they had checked and found that Chao had indeed fully recovered and would be sent to the palace tomorrow.
Yun Fenghuang asked the waiter to reward him for running errands, then he held his chin in thought.
When I meet Chao Jingyou tomorrow, will she be aloof or approachable, noble and cool, or domineering
In short, how can we make the other party feel endless humiliation, but feel a shadow in his heart and be unable to resist, that kind of powerlessness that will make him tremble when he thinks about it for the rest of his life
Well, I thought about it all night, it’s quite urgent.
