That morning, Emperor Chunjia originally wanted to stay in Ningbi Palace with Concubine Yue, but at worst, he would go back to the Empress Dowager, Empress Dowager Yuan, who was very disciplined, to give her a lesson. However, as she was coaxing Yuan Niang with gentle words, Aunt Zhu sent her away. After seeing Yun Fenghuang, he went back to the back hall and took a look. He was shocked: "The palace gate is locked. Why didn't Bidong go to Yanlan Palace?"
"... Niang Niang is feeling a little uncomfortable." The two of us, Nong Thanon and Nong Thanon, were startled. Chunjia Didong consciously wanted to cover it up for Concubine Yue, "I'm not worried."
"Don't worry, Your Majesty." Aunt Zhu smiled, but with a murderous look in her eyes, she said softly, "Where are the many people there, how can they not serve the empress well? Besides, if the empress is really uncomfortable, Ah, then you should not stay here anymore, what should I do if Wan Ye Nao is sick?"
Emperor Chunjia smiled apologetically and said, "Aunt Zhu, just tomorrow morning, can he go to Yanlan Palace tomorrow morning?"
He was adopted by Empress Dowager Yuan when he was born. He had no idea of his life experience until he grew up. He thought he was not Empress Dowager Yuan's biological child. He regarded the Yuan family in Fuyang as his direct relatives, and Aunt Zhu was no stranger to this mistake.
He was no longer the emperor at that time, so he made such a cautious request, which made Aunt Zhu feel a little weak.
Of course, that softness was purely due to Emperor Chunjia, but Concubine Yue felt a little bit more resentful about it.
"To put it bluntly, both of us can grow up under Aunt Zhu's watch. If not, why would Aunt Zhu be willing to cause trouble for us?" Aunt Zhu pondered for a while, then sighed with a look of sadness, "No. The Empress Dowager Su Yue never interfered in the affairs of the harem, but that time she actually opened her mouth for Yanlan Palace. Bi Dong was very procrastinating. What would the Empress Dowager think? After all, the imperial concubine was just Bi Dong's concubine. , can you, General of the Hussars, defend the imperial capital in those years, without any merit, but with hard work, Your Majesty, please don’t chill the hearts of important ministers!"
Seeing Chunjia's hesitation, he glanced at Concubine Yue with a cold gaze, "Is your Majesty really feeling unwell? If so, it's not safe for Bhidong to accompany you. Why don't I go out and ask the imperial doctor to take a look?"
"..." Concubine Yue looked at her for a moment, then lowered her head in frustration and pushed Emperor Chunjia, "Let me go!"
Emperor Chunjia hesitated, and under Aunt Zhu's almost pleading gaze, he finally stood up slowly and walked out. When he went out, he whispered in a low voice: "Aunt Zhu, otherwise he wants to keep Dong to accompany his mother-in-law." , the matter of Bujiu Niang."
Aunt Zhu said softly: "My maid Minghong, my maid has served three generations of the Yuan family. Whether she is born or dies by the Yuan family, why should Bidong be worried?"
Then as soon as Emperor Chunjia left, she looked at Concubine Yue and her expression changed, "You bastard! How many times has he told me?! I don't want to be so arrogant! I don't want to do it openly with the concubines again... in person. I promised you well, but afterwards it was as if I hadn’t heard anything! What kind of situation are we in now? Are we free to follow our own tempers?! He Fuyang Yuanshi... "
"It's not the Fuyang Yuan family!" Concubine Yue interrupted irritably and said loudly, "We have the Fuyang Yuan family in our hearts. When have we ever considered his ideas?!"
"..." Aunt Zhu came quietly and looked at Concubine Yue with a cold look that made her a little panicked. She said every word, "Without Fuyang Yuan Family, who am I!?"
Before Concubine Yue could answer, she rolled her sleeves, turned and left the outer hall.
As soon as she turned her legs around and led her to the palace door, she heard the sound of breaking porcelain inside. She wondered if Concubine Yue was throwing things to vent her anger.
Aunt Zhu sighed, walked forward, found a palace maid, and told her in a low voice that she should go to the kitchen and say: "Bidong said just now that the queen has not been well for the past two months. He is afraid that she will ask for help." Lie down for some months."
The palace maid understood what she meant, so she pondered: "Is it possible that the empress was sick before, and she didn't take any medicine, but always asked Bidong to come over in person to coax her and feed her? There were a lot of things in those two months, would you be afraid if Bidong stayed with us all the time? "
"She's drinking too much." Aunt Zhu said coldly, "Why don't you just watch it and don't let Dong Bi know about it? Anyway, we are under lockdown now and no one can go out. If we don't tell, how will the outside world know? Even the Queen If they know it, do they know how to tell it to Bidong specifically?"
She was really so angry that Concubine Yue had a headache. She didn't even want to use the dinner specially reserved by the palace servants after telling her about it, and went to freshen up and prepare herself.
It turned out that not long after I fell asleep, I was woken up by someone. I thought that something had happened to Concubine Yue again. She didn't get up, and the anger emerged first. However, the Didong man whispered: " People from Fu Xi Xingxuan came and said that Mr. Fu Yungui had a nightmare."
"She had a nightmare?" Aunt Zhu sneered, "Does he believe that other concubines would panic because of a nightmare, but that Yungui... is he such a timid person?"
He was too lazy to get up, so he swung his legs in the tent and said, "If she wants to ask for comfort, she can go to Yanlan Palace to ask for His Majesty's help. Why don't she use the name of our Huzhu Palace? She, Yun Gui, is in the palace anyway." She is so famous, there is no need to mention our queen, the people in Yanlan Palace must also know her! If you want to seek medical treatment, you can go ask for help after dawn, after all, if the palace door is locked, it is not allowed to go in and out according to the rules. "
The maid who came to deliver the message was hesitant: "She said she dreamed of Xinqing..."
That's not the point, the point is, "I dreamed that Xinqing came to our Ningbi Palace!"
"..." Aunt Zhu started to rummage away, "You bitch!"
After a while, Aunt Zhu saw the palace maid from Xi Xingxuan who came to report in the side hall. She had a red complexion and delicate eyebrows, and her low eyebrows looked very respectful.
Is it because Aunt Zhu didn't dare to neglect: "It seems that Wei Yuniang has been seen in Yanfu Palace?"
"Is it true that my servant was serving in the Yanfu Palace before? I am now serving Xi Xingxuan Yungui on the orders of the Queen." Send your maid over to report."
Aunt Zhu chuckled: "The kindness of the Yungui people, Ningbi Palace is in the heart of the east. As the saying goes, the moon has thoughts and dreams, and the Yungui people must be worried about Xinqing, so they have such nightmares. . But Xinqing has nothing to do with our Ningbi Palace. Even if there is really an evil spirit, why would it bother the empress?"
Xile said quietly: "My aunt said that my servant has forgotten something, so I will go back and report it to you."
Saying it was a blessing, he resigned, but there was no entanglement.
She came unexpectedly and left decisively, and it didn't take much of Aunt Zhu's time... How could it be!
After Xile left, Aunt Zhu couldn't sleep at all. She immediately picked up a few of her people and closed the door to speculate on Yun Fenghuang's purpose.
"It would be better for your Majesty to be peaceful for the past two months." The palace maid who had just been asked to go to the kitchen to spread the message first said, "Otherwise, might that wretched maid be able to spread the word about whether our Majesty was disturbed by an innocent spirit and fell ill?"
Aunt Zhu nodded solemnly: "He can think of other ways to show off his empress."
"Should we just torment us?" A waiter in Tsing Yi said hesitantly, "That Yungui woman is quite vindictive. Maybe she can't sleep, so she made up a lie so that we can't deal with it? "
"Her temperament is quite good..." Aunt Zhu pondered, "But we must be careful! After all, our queen's reputation has been ruined in those years. Things like that, ugh..."
Mentioning Concubine Yue's reputation, Aunt Zhu couldn't help but sigh.
I have already fallen behind Dongfeng. Not to mention enduring the humiliation and managing a virtuous name, at least don't be so cruel!
Because she was betrothed to Emperor Chunjia at an early age, Fuyang Yuan's Concubine Cuoyue was indeed extra indulgent and pampered, but she also learned everything that a lady should learn. Empress Dowager Yuan often reminded her how she would be able to live up to her posthumous title. In that state
Aunt Zhu really couldn't figure it out.
"I wish the flower and bird envoy could come back now." The former palace maid said regretfully, "Xiao Yun has been promoted several levels since she entered the palace. If someone with a top cylinder came in at that time, she would be sent out just in time."
And the women brought back by the Flower and Bird Envoys were all from poor families. Even though these women were beautiful, they were mostly timid and meek and had no family background to rely on. They were easy to bully and easy to govern. They were most suitable for Concubine Yue, who has no brains and likes to vent her anger on the people of Didong. .
They discussed it back and forth for a whole morning, and decided... to wait until next month to see how Yun Fenghuang will act before making any plans.
Early in the morning of the next month, Yun Fenghuang stood up energetically, asked Xile to take care of her makeup, and went to Yanfu Palace to pay her respects as usual.
When she walks into the side hall tomorrow, although she still attracts the attention of a group of palace concubines, no one dares to offend her.
Even Wei Hengyan, who had the highest position, took the initiative to wave his legs and asked her to come to him quickly.
"How did you sleep with me tonight?" "Wei Hengyan put a thick layer of powder on her face, but could barely hide her haggard look. She whispered, "He had a nightmare last night... Is it really scary? Is he going to make a special trip tomorrow morning? Circle, Yijia Palace from other doors.”
The palace gate she used to enter and exit happened to be not far from Xinqing's corpse room.
"Don't mention it!" Yun Fenghuang looked at her for a while, feeling that he couldn't act like Wei Hengyan if he was full of energy, so he just sighed with regret, "I just fell asleep and woke up with a fright. I dreamed Xinqing entered Huzhu Palace..."
Wei Hengyan immediately shrank back, as if he was afraid that Xinqing would be around Yun Fenghuang at that time so as not to infect him.
"Then he went straight to the Ningbi Palace!" Yun Fenghuang didn't care and continued, "He woke up with a fright. After tossing and turning for a long time, he finally felt relieved and asked Xile to go to the Ningbi Palace to report the news. Over there in Buluo His aunt didn’t seem to care much, and she didn’t know how Concubine Yue was doing at that time. She had asked her to come over to say hello, but she didn’t have time to ask more questions. He thought he would go and say hello himself when he got back.”
"I hope that Concubine Yue is safe and sound." Wei Hengyan agreed, picked up the tea bowl and drank tea, and said happily, "It's good that we don't have high status, so we stay behind when we say hello... Otherwise, I'm really afraid of Concubine Concubine Yue. Maybe the Queen Mother saw it and felt that we were discourteous."
Yun Fenghuang said: "How could it be? Both ladies are very kind and generous. If they knew what happened, they would feel sorry for us. How could they blame us?"
Wei Hengyan choked and had to agree: "I said no."
After picking up Donglai, she walked straight back, looking at her nose and nose, not wanting to shut up with Yun Fenghuang.
Yun Fenghuang was so happy that he closed his eyes and thought about what Ming Yueqiu told the queen.
Time gradually passed, and the side hall became more and more lively. Soon someone from the palace came to inform that it was almost time, and it was time for the palace concubines to go to the main hall to wait.
The meaning of waiting in the main hall is that the concubines have almost arrived, and the queen has not yet come out but will come out soon.
When Yun Fenghuang entered the room, he saw that Concubine Shu had already walked to her seat and was talking to Concubine Sha of Dongshou. Because of the distance, she could not hear the contents of the conversation.
Although Concubine Xin looked coldly and seemed to be very angry because Chengyue Palace found Xinqing's hairpin, I don't know if Concubine Shu was comforting her. Yun Qingman, who was standing behind Concubine Shu, noticed Yun Fenghuang's gaze, spoke to Concubine Shu's maid, then walked over and asked quietly: "Feng Huang, is something okay?"
Yun Fenghuang nodded towards her and quietly pursed his lips towards Concubine Xin: "What is Concubine Shu saying to her?"
Yun Qingman whispered: "After talking about the family members entering the palace in the past two days... He made an agreement with his sister yesterday that his mother and his sister-in-law will take her with her when they come."
"..." Yun Fenghuang had forgotten that high-ranking concubines could invite their mothers-in-law to the palace every two months, and he never expected that Yun Qingman would help and ask Mrs. Yi Guogong to take her to the Xie family.
She was silent before saying thank you.
Yun Qingman was embarrassed: "It's not his family that has caused me trouble...otherwise I'm outside the palace right now, and I can see my aunt whenever I want."
Yun Fenghuang smiled and did not answer the question, but said, "The Queen has asked for help. I'll go back soon."
