When Yun Fenghuang arrived at Xingxintang, the rain was getting heavier.
The rain in that season came and went, but the palace was built on the mountainside after all, so it had the cool breeze from all sides of Qishan. The raindrops hit countless flowers and fallen leaves, and the atmosphere of late autumn was suddenly felt.
She Mingyue was wearing a short jacket with wide sleeves and light foundation embroidered with oleander branches and leaves. The rainwater on the road made it smudged out a little bit of crimson. It looked like flying flowers came from somewhere and covered her sleeves. Such romance.
He walked in with water vapor and saluted Chunjia, which made the emperor, who had been tired for more than half a month, feel sober. He rubbed his eyebrows and shouted, and then asked the left and right to retreat to the east.
Seeing the beloved concubine coming up to him, he smiled, put down his ink brush, hugged her to his knees, and said, "Then you'll be here at that time?"
"I just heard the news and I feel uneasy. Why don't you come to see your Majesty for more details?" Yun Fenghuang nodded his arm and said in a lazy tone, "The people of King Zhou and King Han came to the capital but did not arrive at the palace. Why don't you go? The imperial capital is looking for the Ningbo Mansion. Your Majesty, you said that was the cause of the matter. Since you have been on the throne for almost ten years and have been in power for that long, those two people don't trust you very much? Are you afraid that someone will be involved early in the morning? Did you take a ride?"
Chunjia understood her nature and was not easily fooled. Hearing this, he smiled faintly and said: "Those two are Taizong ruthless men, well-established vassal princes of the country. Their status is deeply rooted in the clan, so they should not meet the regent in person." Now, please say hello to Uncle Wang... They probably want to follow the rules."
According to the rules, it was not possible to seek an heir from King Fuyang's lineage, so of course the idea of a concubine from King Fuyang's lineage would be given priority.
Therefore, there is nothing wrong with the envoys of the two vassal kings going to Xingningbo Mansion to find ways to win the favor of Queen Mother Yuan.
"Your Majesty, I've only met Mr. Chao before." Yun Fenghuang didn't panic. She scratched his neck with her fingertips and said softly, "She said that she ordered Mrs. Chao to trap her. The concubine, the Sixth Sister, did not go out to Uncle Ning's Mansion. Of course, the Yuan family cannot be blamed for the matter in the final analysis, but the Ji family was behind it...Bidong, what did you say about that time, the two vassal princes' When the envoy goes to Xingningbo Mansion, do he want to follow the path of the empress dowager, or do he want to have a relationship with the Ji family?"
"After all, the news that the Mother Empress Dowager and the Holy Mother Empress Dowager are ill is not a secret. Even if the two vassal princes are not well-informed in the Tetriarchate, the envoys will have to inquire after they arrive in the capital, right?"
"Even if they wanted to intercede with the Empress Dowager, how could the Empress Dowager find the time to pay attention to them at that time?"
"And who doesn't know that the Empress Dowager loves you the most? Rather than waste time disturbing the Empress Dowager, it would be better to come and visit Bidong directly!"
She paused on her fingertips and sneered, "That doesn't mean I'm going to slander you. It's suspicious no matter how you look at it!"
Chunjia said calmly: "If it's a clan matter, Ji doesn't talk about it. What's the use of them looking for Ji?"
"Mr. Ji is not talking about it, but isn't it true that the Empress Dowager and the Empress Dowager are very important?" Yun Fenghuang said immediately, "There is a lot of empress dowager in the palace. Besides, who knows what Ji's secret promises are? Why did you offend them? What if there is more than one prince? In that case, the two kings may be so greedy for profit that they feel that it doesn’t matter if they offend Bidong at that time. After all, when Ji’s affairs are completed, they will have to thank them deeply, right?”
Then he sneered, "Actually, to be honest, they are just relying on their age and think that Bidong is young and has a good temperament... Otherwise, how could the vassal envoy come to the imperial capital without coming to see you first? Speaking of which, you can't reveal the original news. What’s for them?”
"I already know about that. I'm not angry at all, so why am I getting all anxious and angry?" Chunjia looked at her angry look and couldn't help but smile. He stretched out his legs to pinch her cheeks and said with a smile. , "Although Uncle Xingning is a little confused, he is not completely unreasonable. I am asking people to watch that matter, so I don't have to worry about it."
Yun Fenghuang thought to himself, is that okay
She, Concubine Yunxian, has only received a few benefits during her reign. If the two vassal princes discredited her face and her sign was ruined, then in the future, when people come to the royal family for matters, they will consider other ways. If you don't think about bribing her first, how much will you lose? !
Just thinking about it makes me so heartbroken that I can't breathe!
There is no need to talk about that dog emperor, she has tricked the King of Zhou and Han!
If those two vassal princes were in bad luck, the matter would never end!
"Your Majesty, if Xing Ningbo's Mansion is really sensible, he shouldn't have met with the envoys of King Zhou and King Han, and it's almost the same if he didn't send them to the palace to see you!" She said to the east, "After all, how can the Yuan family be qualified? Are you making irresponsible remarks? But it’s hard for the empress dowager, the loving mother who makes the decision, to make the decision. If they don’t tell you, Your Majesty, what’s the point of bringing the east over on their own?”
The voice lowered, "It's not like we don't know who the culprits are at Wang Ling, and we don't want to think about whether they are Ji's fault? At that time, I was busy with everything, and I was afraid of falling into a trap again. ! That’s fine, after all, they are the mother-in-law of the empress dowager, and the emperor always wants to give them some dignity."
"But please let this matter spread. People think that the Yuan family will not do anything trivial. The key point is that the King of Zhou and Han would rather find someone to deliver a message to the sick mother, the Empress Dowager, than come to pay your respects first. Maybe there will be no one." They all follow the same example, but they look down upon Bidong’s age!”
Although Chunjia is young, the regent is a generation older than him—whoever wants to find a way out of the Empress Dowager Yuan tomorrow will probably feel that a young emperor like Chunjia is unreliable and that matters concerning the clan must be dealt with at his age. People, for example, only what the regent says counts
Chunjia's face turned ugly when she mentioned that, but for a moment, she turned nonchalant and asked her with a smile: "Did the King of Zhou and Han offend me? You asked me to change my ways to say bad things about them like that."
"I have never met the two vassal kings, how can I be offended?" Yun Fenghuang refused to admit it and said, "I wholeheartedly think about Bidong, but Bidong misses me so much that he won't come."
As he spoke, he pushed him angrily and walked away.
Of course Chunjia stopped her, coaxed her a little, and said, "Is there a reason why the envoys of the two kings did not come to the palace? Their princesses and concubines are not related to my biological grandmother. When my grandmother was still alive, when I met There were also contacts during the New Year and festivals. At that time, the Queen Mother was in charge of the reception and had some friendship with them. Therefore, the envoy came over and went to the Xingning Bo Mansion first, maybe he planned to reminisce about old times and then come to see them."
Yun Fenghuang's background was too low, and he knew very little about marriages between clan members and nobles.
Chunjia didn't tell her that she didn't know anything about it, but she didn't believe it when she heard it. She secretly said: I heard that the relationship between Princess Fuyangzhuang and the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law of Empress Dowager Yuan was not very good. King Duan of Fuyang was young at the time. He died of a minor illness, and his mother, Princess Zhuang, passed away... I am heartbroken for my only son, who knows what happened
Maybe she was angry with Empress Dowager Yuan when she was grieving
So, why do Concubine Zhuang's relatives reminisce with Empress Dowager Yuan
"But the dear mother-in-law, the Empress Dowager, is ill. How can she have the strength to reminisce with them?" She muttered, "Look, do those people do it on purpose? Do they mean to disrespect Your Majesty! You should show them some color. !”
Chunjia hugged her waist and smiled: "I know that the ruthless concubine feels sorry for me, so when they come to the palace in a few months, I will definitely vent their anger on me, okay?"
Yun Fenghuang plucked his leg fingers and said with a smile: "Why are you venting your anger on me? Why do you think I am a prostitute? Why should I apologize for Bidong? Everyone in Tiandong knows that Bidong is generous. So those vassal kings became bolder one by one, and none of them put Bidong first! They are spoiled! None of them are good!"
As he spoke, he hugged Chunjia's neck affectionately and acted coquettishly, "If Bidong is good, Bidong is so good that the little screwdriver started to tremble!"
She stayed with Chunjia for a while, then tidied up her dress and left.
"Your Majesty, Bidong didn't agree to punish the king of Zhou and Han." On the way back to Jieyue Xiaozhu, the Qing people were a little disappointed and whispered to Yun Fenghuang, "Does Bidong plan to choose from their two children? An heir from the lineage of King Fuyang?"
It doesn't matter if the complaint is unsuccessful, the key is that their mother-in-law has already received the benefits from King Changle.
If he can't help King Changle succeed in his reign... Even if those things don't come back very soon, Yun Fenghuang's reputation as "doable" will not be preserved.
So not to mention whether the king of Zhou and Han can be tricked, the key is whether the heir candidate must be someone who has given benefits to Yun Fenghuang!
"Why are you so anxious? It's just started, and no one has come yet." Yun Fenghuang was also very unhappy, but he could not help but calm down the soldiers and scolded, "I don't want to go to Bidong that time!"
As time goes by, water drops will penetrate the stone, and she doesn't believe that those two cold-blooded feudal princes can't be killed!
Returning to the borrowing moon building, Concubine Xuan and Concubine Rui had been waiting there for a while. They were chatting with each other. When they saw Yun Fenghuang coming in, they stood up and saluted.
"Let's all go." Yun Fenghuang was very interested. He took the lead and took a seat at the head. Fang glanced at the two concubines and the booklet beside their legs and asked, "What's the matter?"
Concubine Xuan and Concubine Rui looked at each other wrongly and said together: "Back to Concubine Xian, it's time to organize the birthday of the Empress Dowager. Is it possible that the Empress Dowager will not come to escape the summer next year? What about...?"
"The empress dowager, a loving mother, has always been frugal and dislikes extravagance." Yun Fenghuang pondered for a while and said, "Besides, her body is like a bright phoenix, so she cannot be tormented... I can't keep everything simple."
Concubine Xuan said: "Mother, if you want to be simple... what kind of regulations should you get?"
I asked this palace whom I asked.
Yun Fenghuang thought to himself, it was not like that last year.
She thought for a while and felt that it would be less troublesome to let Chunjia decide on the matter of Empress Dowager Yuan, so she said: "This is the first time I have encountered such a thing as the empress dowager, the empress dowager, who is not in the palace to celebrate her birthday. Why don't you go and ask for advice?" Your Majesty, please go east."
Concubine Xuan went to agree to Donglai's request, and then said, "My dear, I have something very important to do. Could you please make the decision for me?"
"I am the concubine, why should I be the master of the matter?" Yun Fenghuang asked her with a glance.
