When Chao Jingyou left the palace that day, she felt dizzy. Although Yun Fenghuang finally reluctantly agreed to turn the hostility into friendship and help Sang Zi to deal with Concubine Xuan and Ruifei and the family behind them, the process was difficult and Yun Fenghuang mentioned that All kinds of bizarre and outrageous conditions emerged...
All of them gave her a headache.
"This cheap maid has become even more difficult to deal with after entering the palace." Chao Jingyou boarded the carriage and returned to her residence, thinking to herself, "It seems that she has suffered a lot since entering the palace... Well, but if she suffers again, she will be better now. She is a virtuous concubine, but it is all worth it. The biggest regret is that she cannot have biological children, but she is still young now. It will take many years to really feel sad about this regret. "
"And if the adopted royal heir is well-raised, he will also be filial to her..."
"Why is this bastard so lucky?"
"You are prosperous in the north, and you will be successful once you enter the palace!"
"Is it possible that she is really blessed?"
"Pooh!"
"She is worthy of a cruel and cruel slave girl like her!"
"It's not that she doesn't report that the time has not come yet, sooner or later she will follow in the footsteps of Mrs. Chunke!"
Cursing hard in her heart, Chao Jingyou gathered her thoughts and thought about what to do next.
Her current status is also embarrassing. Although her cooperation with Chun Jiali has secured her position as the daughter-in-law of the Qi family, even her parents-in-law will not dare to do anything to her in the future. No matter how much her husband Qi Jiulu dislikes her, he cannot give up on her easily.
But the problem is, except for the wedding period, Qi Jiulu pretended to be newlywed for a while in order to come to the Imperial Capital to reunite with his sweetheart under the supervision of his family, and then he would rather go out and drink wine without touching her - and she gave birth to a baby because of this. A daughter without a son, even if she is firmly in the position of the head wife, everything she has worked so hard to plan in the future will not be easier for others!
How could Chao Jingyou be willing to do so
But she was a weak woman, and she couldn't force Qi Jiulu...
I think of Yun Fenghuang again and feel so angry!
This wretched maid clearly left the Northland four years ago, why could Qi Jiulu just not forget her
Chao Jingyou felt a sense of powerlessness in her heart. She felt that her talent and appearance were not that different from Yun Fenghuang's, and she had a gentle personality. Why would Qi Jiulu rather be suppressed by Yun Fenghuang than live a good life with her
However, she has actually eliminated a lot of this regret recently, because she feels very sad when she thinks of Concubine Yun Xian's current situation.
Her biggest dream since childhood was to kill Yun Fenghuang and marry Qi Jiulu. This goal was finally achieved. Even though her husband came to the Imperial Capital unwillingly, Chao Jingyou who arrived later seemed resentful and aggrieved, but she felt very happy in her heart. If you let my husband miss you again, I, Chao Jingyou, will take the position of wife of the eldest daughter of the Qi family that you thought was impossible to lose? !
Even if Qi Jiulu and Yun Feng Huang Ou were separated, she would still win!
It makes me feel happy to think that Xie Shiqi, who has been suppressing her, will be forced to hide in a corner one day, while she can walk around gracefully as the daughter-in-law of the Qi family... It makes her feel happy.
But who would have thought that Yun Fenghuang would become a beloved concubine...
Chao Jingyou suddenly felt that Qi Jiulu wasn't that outstanding anymore.
Especially during the court meeting, she secretly looked at Tianyan and found that the emperor was younger and taller than the rumors.
Although Mianqi's appearance is obscured, her appearance cannot be clearly seen, but according to rumors, she is definitely not ugly.
This made Chao Jingyou so depressed.
But she wasn't so confused that she wanted to continue competing with Yun Fenghuang for the throne... She could only suppress this unhappiness in her heart and leave sadly.
"How is Concubine Xuan and Concubine Rui doing lately?" When Chao Jingyou was in a complicated mood, Yun Fenghuang asked Qingren with his eyebrows pinched, "Is there any news in the Imperial Capital?"
The Qing people whispered: "Concubine Xuan and Concubine Rui have been taking care of the palace affairs under your orders recently. Although they are a little stumbling, but with the help of the staff on the left and right, they seem to be doing well. I haven't heard any news from the Imperial Capital in the past two days... The Empress and the two empress dowagers have closed their doors to rest, and the one in Tongxia Palace is also devoted to raising the prince. Since the Holy Emperor has not returned yet, Mrs. Yi Guogong seems to still be with her in the palace."
Yun Fenghuang propped his chin up with a fan, thinking: "Mrs. Yi Guogong raised Yun Qingman so hard that she couldn't stand up, but she values her heirs so much?"
"It should be Duke Yi's intention. After all, the Duke's palace knows what this concubine is like." The Qing native comforted him, "Now neither Shengjia nor you are in the palace. If she is left alone, the happy event may not happen." Bad thing... I'm afraid that Mrs. Yi Guogong feels uncomfortable, but she did it as a last resort. After all, her biological daughter's child is not saved, so why should a concubine bother with it? "
"That's what you said." Yun Fenghuang frowned, "At first, the loving mother-in-law, the Empress Dowager, wanted to throw away Mrs. Chunke after using it, but after raising her for many years, she still has feelings for her? Looking for a way to let Mrs. Yi Guogong go home? We have agreed to let her and Yun Qingman's mother go into the palace to accompany her during the birth. Now that the child has been born, what is it like to stay in the palace?"
As for whether the fourth prince could be saved in this way, she didn't care.
Anyway, the child can survive, but it doesn't matter if he doesn't.
Yun Qingman is still young, so it’s not like she won’t be able to have children in the future!
Seeing that the Qing Dynasty agreed, she asked Concubine Xuan and Concubine Rui again, "Are they still the same harmonious sisters?"
Qingren nodded: "Whenever we encounter problems, we discuss them together. Of course, Concubine Xuan usually makes the decision and Concubine Rui gives in."
"That's a good idea. Do you want to make progress together and join forces to deal with me?" Yun Fenghuang snorted and asked someone to call Wei Hengyan to come over. He first asked her about her pregnancy, and then talked about it from the bottom of his heart. Today's affairs in the palace, "...Although I am an impatient person and can grasp everything, but in the end, it is difficult for me to defeat four hands with just two fists. I told you to help me before, but you are young and spoiled." , many things can only be started with you first. When the results are about to be put to great use, you will be happy."
"Of course the emperor's heir is the most important thing at the moment."
"But His Majesty is in the prime of life, and you are young too. You can't have a child, and everything will revolve around the prince?"
"There are so many things in the palace that are complicated. Concubine Xuan and Concubine Rui are also about to become the mother-in-law or are already in the process of becoming the mother-in-law. How can you get started with it? How about you entering the palace before them?"
Wei Hengyan's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he said cautiously: "Of course I am sincerely willing to share my worries for you, but I am afraid that if I am not sensitive, I will let down your love. Besides, the empress dowager, a loving mother, and your majesty..."
"The Empress Dowager, your loving mother, has me talking to you, what are you worried about? As for yourself, you are from a big family after all. I think you are no worse than Concubine Xuan and Concubine Rui. They can do what they can. What can't you do? Why do you belittle yourself so much?" Yun Fenghuang said softly, "That's all, you are still having a baby, so there is no point in saying this. Please wait patiently. When you are out of confinement, I will give you another one. A great future!”
This is true. Concubine Xuan and Concubine Rui are helping each other. How could she ignore her own people
Wei Hengyan has a sufficient social status and a well-behaved attitude toward her, so he should share the palace power so that Yun Fenghuang can pretend to be weak and fight, but he can't do it to Concubine Xuan and Concubine Rui, right
She had prepared for a rainy day, and was still thinking about how to elevate her status, gain benefits, and share the palace power with her subordinates after Wei Hengyan gave birth... Finally, someone sensible came to the vassal king.
"...Ten huks of pearls, five pairs of white jade, twenty pieces of heavenly brocade, a thousand taels of gold, fifteen potted gemstones..." The Qing people trembled as they read the gift list, "Your Majesty, this gift is so heavy."
Yun Fenghuang held his chin and said calmly: "The prince is more valuable, not to mention that King Changle himself is just a county prince. Only his eldest son can inherit this throne. But I remember that King Changle has almost a dozen legitimate sons. Are you ready? There are so many sons to raise, and the palms and backs of the hands are all flesh. It is not good for anyone to feel wronged. If one of them is assigned to the lineage of King Fuyang, not only will there be an extra prince, but the weak energy of King Fuyang will be lost. How can you not have any brothers to help you on the fiefdom?"
"Not to mention that this move has something to do with His Majesty. In the future, those who want to serve as officials in the court will be those who are near the water and the tower first... This is a benefit to their lineage. If they can't bear to part with such a small thing, then it doesn't matter. Qualified to be selected as heir!"
Qingren swallowed his saliva and whispered: "I wonder what other feudal kings will do?"
Prince Changle is only the prince of the county. Among the princes, Prince Caimao has taken action, but it was against Chunjia... The other two princes, count the days, there should be news, right
The prince's measures should be more generous than those of the county king!
... Their masters and servants were still waiting happily. As a result, a few days later, the envoys of King Zhou and King Han arrived in Gyeonggi, but they had no intention of interceding with Concubine Xian. Instead, they went directly to visit Xingning Bo Mansion.
Well, people think this matter should go the way of Empress Dowager Yuan.
Yun Fenghuang: "..."
Qingren: "..."
Seeing her master's ugly face, she cautiously persuaded him, "Mother, how about you say something nice to King Changle?"
Although those few were indifferent, there was still a sensible King of Changle!
"You don't understand what this means." But Yun Fenghuang was gloomy for a while, then shook his head and said, "This time's matter is similar to the last time the princess chose a son-in-law. Regardless of the enthusiasm of a group of people discussing it, as long as His Majesty doesn't want to, That will definitely not work - last time when Wang Ling came, all the non-officials knew that they were looking for me. You said that the kings of Zhou and Han were all powerful and influential among the vassal kings. As for those who are not well-informed, they didn't know to look for me?!"
"Especially now that the two empress dowagers are far away in the Imperial Capital, but I am here to accompany His Majesty!"
She exhaled slowly and said cautiously, "If I guess correctly, the two vassal princes did it on purpose."
Qingren was slightly surprised and said: "Are they...?"
"Bring an umbrella." Yun Fenghuang glanced at the pattering rain outside, and said with a smile, "If I let a few nimble servants accompany me, I'm going to Xingxintang!"
Want to ignore her
She is now letting some people know the cost of doing so! ! !
