"The clouds cover the moon. I have wronged Your Majesty." Yun Fenghuang stroked Chunjia's face with a distressed expression, and said firmly, "I do feel that the Luo family is too corrupt. Although the Xie family is not a high-ranking family, I My sisters are all well-dressed and pampered. But since this person is so loyal to Bidong, how can I not win over Bidong?"
"You don't have to look at it. In that marriage, I promised to come to the east on behalf of my sister. I will wait until the twenty-first brother pays homage to the master, and then I will perform the six rituals. What do you think, Dong Dong?"
She looked affectionate, but she was cursing in her heart. Although the bastard emperor was not an oil-saving lamp in the past, he was not so shameless. Just now, he had been miserable and forced her to find every way to comfort and praise him. That was all. My son is begging to come!
She would probably ignore it or put it off if he asked for it. But Chunjia's words just now were like saying that Ruming didn't have many chips in his hands, and the talents he had attracted were few. Each one was very precious and could not be tolerated. lose.
In that case, as a virtuous concubine who is deeply favored by the emperor and "quickly likes your Majesty", can she refuse
No matter how rich her sixteenth sister is, it will definitely not help her to "get rid of" Bidong's mistake, right
Yun Fenghuang was extremely upset, feeling that the emperor would definitely retaliate for his wrath.
Thinking back to the time when she acted coquettishly and miserably with the emperor, it was just to win Dong's sympathy, to evade punishment by muddle-heading, to want to be promoted, and to not... Well, she had taken advantage of Chunjia by using that leg before. Soon one day Chunjia would learn from this and make mistakes on himself.
"I know that Concubine Hen likes me the most, and she will never disappoint me." Chunjia smiled when she heard this, and said, "Concubine Hen understands righteousness, and she is worthy of being a good concubine!"
"His Majesty always feels sorry for me, and even though I'm so disrespectful, I can't repay my kindness to you." Yun Fenghuang endured the feeling of vomiting blood and pretended to flatter me, "Since Ru Ming has the opportunity, why should he feel sorry for me? Where is a direct cousin?"
That emperor is so stupid!
She had to use her brain, think of ways, and come up with a few new tricks.
Otherwise, sooner or later the advantage I took from him would be returned with profits!
Yun Fenghuang was filled with crises, so he absentmindedly put that night to rest, and went to Danruoting where Wei Hengyan was staying the next month.
Dan Ruoting was Wei Hengyan's residence last year. She quickly agreed to Jieyu at that time. The concubines and concubines were all there at that time. It was her turn as the lowest-ranking concubine who had just entered the palace. Of course, she didn't have much choice. —The location, scenery, furnishings, scale, etc. of Danruoting are all average among the palaces and pavilions.
The only unique feature is that there are many pomegranates planted outside.
It bloomed very beautifully that season.
Originally, when Wei Hengyan came next year, his status had been promoted, and he was supported by the strong-minded Concubine Xian, he could have chosen a better place to live. However, if she was pregnant, she felt that the pomegranate had a good meaning. I lived in that place last year and was familiar with it, so I didn’t change it.
At this moment, seeing Yun Fenghuang coming in person, Lian stood up to greet him.
The two of them walked east in the main hall. When the palace servants gave them some drinks, Shi Guo came. They exchanged greetings for a while and asked if Yun Fenghuang was concerned about Wei Hengyan's pregnancy. Finally, he brought the topic to the marriage between the two families. Yun Fenghuang sighed and pushed Chunjia out of Luo Xun's house. He said: "... Actually, I am also willing to be my in-laws, but I did not expect such a coincidence. Luo Xun happened to be guarding the palace that month. When Yuanji saw my sixteenth sister, she went to Bidong to beg her."
"His Majesty Dongdu has spoken to me personally, asking whether Luo Xun is loyal or a good person."
"I said, Your Majesty is talking about that, what can I say?"
Wei Hengyan was very disappointed. In fact, she had never met Xie Lan at all. When she proposed the marriage request, she just wanted to tell her younger brother that she was a sister that Yun Fenghuang valued more. At that time, Xie Lan was intercepted by the emperor, and she would not be able to accept another one.
The question is whether the emperor's intention was expressed in this move, or whether he did not want the Xie family to marry too many high-ranking families - if the Wei family continued to marry the Xie family, there would no doubt be an offense to Chunjia.
Judging from Chunjia's mistreatment of the concubine who entered the palace during the wedding, we can see whether that mistress is very good at settling accounts after the fall.
She weighed the pros and cons in her mind and expressed her regret at missing out on her virtuous, virtuous, talented and beautiful sister-in-law, and whether the two parties could tacitly settle the matter.
"Originally I wanted to find a good future for my little brother, but it turns out that Your Majesty is getting involved, so it won't be possible." When Yun Fenghuang said goodbye and left, Wei Hengyan murmured to his confidants in frustration, "But that cheap maid at home is... Please be happy."
She and her stepmother hated each other, but she had a good relationship with the biological mother of the concubine whom she recommended to Yun Fenghuang. Then she would think of marrying the Xie family, which was not without the intention of causing trouble for her stepmother: given Yun Fenghuang's temper, If her sister marries the concubine of the Wei family, Wei Hengyan's stepmother dares to put on airs with that daughter-in-law, for fear of being screwed over by the virtuous concubine
I even asked Yun Fenghuang's sisters to be more coquettish and willful. If they had nothing to do, they would complain to Concubine Xian and act coquettishly. Yun Fenghuang might just let his sisters' mother-in-law die violently.
It turned out that if Chunjia stopped him like that, all his plans would be in vain.
"Your Majesty, since Your Majesty does not agree with this matter, would it be a good idea for Your Majesty to come here and decline in person?" Her confidant advised her, "I just heard from Your Majesty that she is very pleased with our young master. Do you want to ask, Your Majesty?" When I opened my mouth, Concubine Xian refused to marry our family, so what should we do? If she followed it, she would offend Bhidong, and if he followed Bidong, he would offend Concubine Xian. Those two are not easy to offend, Ru Ming It’s best to unite our opinions and speak out.”
Wei Hengyan didn't even think about it. Yun Fenghuang came over tomorrow and said that although the emperor planned to let Xie Lan marry Luo Xun, the imperial guard, she did not want to promise her sisters to the Wei family. The Wei family was very serious. was in a dilemma.
I feel better now, and I thought to myself, "I only told my aunt about that matter two months ago, but now something unexpected has happened, so I have to take some time to explain it to my aunt."
After saying that, he thought again, "That's wrong. During those few months, the Moon Building was very lively. Even Meng Youyi and the others visited me, and I heard that they also politely made a request for marriage. I said, since Bi Dong doesn't If you agree with that, why are they so busy?"
"Your Majesty, is it because those few people are keen on marrying the Xie family that your Majesty asked to rebel?" Her close confidant came out in front of her direct grandmother, Princess Dongxing. She was very smart and was often responsible for solving Wei Hengyan's problems every month. At that time, he reminded her in a low voice, "The Concubine Xian was in the palace for a short period of time, but she rose very quickly. At the beginning of the year, noble ladies like Concubine Xuan didn't take her seriously. Who knew that in the blink of an eye, she would Is she just one step away from the back position?"
"It's just a matter of asking if she will be favored. I just ask Bidong not to spoil his concubines and destroy his wives. Concubine Xuan and Concubine Rui were all taught by their families not to tolerate people who doted on concubines in Dongbidong. "
"It happened that she coaxed Your Majesty to surrender Princess Penglai to her natal brothers. Not to mention that because the eldest prince was named Concubine Shu, the relationship with the Duke of Yi Kingdom had also greatly improved. In that case, Luo and the others had already been called I am very uneasy. Please tell me if the Xie family wants to continue to marry high-ranking families, I am afraid that the families of Concubine Xuan and Concubine Rui will not care about the Ji family. They must first join forces to deal with the Xie family before they can rest assured - after all, the Ji family is deeply loved by His Majesty. Not to mention whether Dong Yan will lose his position sooner or later, the children born from Ji's daughter will definitely not be able to take over the East Palace!"
"But Xian Fei is not like that."
"Your Majesty is wise and powerful, how can he not understand the meaning of Hong? When he arranged the marriage between the Xie family and the Luo family, did he actually want to ease the relationship between the two parties and turn the hostility into friendship?"
"Can you also reduce the number of children from the virtuous concubine's knees, lest she become more ill in the palace?"
"It's just that Mr. Xie didn't understand what he meant. When he came to the Imperial Capital that time, he actually brought several marriageable women with him."
"Then, how can Luo family rest assured? In the past two months, all the concubines have asked Concubine Xian for marriage. In fact, the only ones who are sincere are us and those who have been left out and want to get help from Concubine Xian, such as Mrs. Manya. Rather than saying that they care about Xie's daughter on behalf of the children in the family, they would rather use that method to remind Bi Dong that Xie's rise to prominence is too slow!"
"If Ming Bidong intervened, it seemed that he was suppressing Concubine Xian, but in reality she was not protecting her... I wonder if Concubine Xian was being attacked by the front harem. If she were to climb up to the dragon and follow the phoenix like others, Bidong would have been She showed a look of displeasure, and then she was cold-blooded and beaten. As for Concubine Xian, even though Bidong blocked the matter, there was an imperial guard, and Concubine Xian was very coaxing to show off... "
The confidant sighed and said, "Of course, it's fortunate that it was like that. The Concubine Xian no longer had any thoughts of doing things wrong with Bidong, so she took the initiative to tell us about it and let it go. Otherwise, the Concubine would feel uncomfortable. , we are in trouble if we want to do something behind Bidong’s back!"
... Did Master and Servant Wei Hengyan have an idea of what Yun Fenghuang was thinking about? When she returned to Jieyue Xiaozhu from Danruoting, she was thinking about how to break the situation
She didn't believe that Chun Jia was wrong about her feelings. The emperor passed away very soon, so please keep her in mind. He really didn't have the time or energy to coax her.
But this kind of love can be close or distant. From the current point of view, Chunjia's most ruthless thing is not to deny his throne, whether he has great power, and whether he can rule the east of the world.
On the premise of ensuring his own status and power, he was wrong about Yun Fenghuang's connivance. Once that point was reached, no matter how gentle his attitude or words, he could not hide the firmness of his choice - Yun Fenghuang actually didn't like him like that, just like The situation in the harem before the Ming Dynasty was that the emperor was usually easy to fool and not very strong-minded. A concubine like her with no family background had to look at the faces of powerful officials while serving the emperor, which was really difficult.
It was as if she had spent a lot of effort to please Queen Ji when she first entered the palace.
If Chunjia was not in charge, Yun Fenghuang felt that no matter how superior her legs and wrists were, her position as the fourth concubine would be at her limit. She would have to endure the pickiness of Ji Muzi and others. Even if the post was free, she would not be a noble person. It's not her turn to play the girls' game anyway.
Now that Chunjia is certain to be the head of the family, she can try to get her mother Yi Tiandong.
So while he was scolding the emperor for being unlucky, he felt calm in his heart.
"The gap between the Xie family and the Luo family is hard to make up." Yun Fenghuang frowned and thought deeply for a while, thinking, "Is it impossible to rush to the Luo family in a short period of time? If you want to get a lower position, you can take the opposite direction. .”
Chunjia's attitude now is very clear, whether she asks for favors, rewards such as clothing, materials, and jewelry, other minor requests that are not important, and the side effects of the Yue Chang palace battle... she tries her best to follow Yun Fenghuang's wishes. , but if the rear position was reserved for Luo Hanyi and the others, he had never considered letting Yun Fenghuang be there.
He also hopes that Yun Fenghuang can understand and follow this point.
Perhaps when he was in great power and made his promises, he would be obsessed with love and think that his favorite concubine could not be the queen. But at that time, he was afraid that the successor would have already been decided, and the emperor would not be lenient if he asked for it. He doesn't have a vindictive side, but how mean can you say he is? Apart from matters related to the throne, he is actually quite kind.
Luo Hanyi and the others hoped not to make a big mistake. Once they entered Yanfu Palace, it was unlikely that Chun Jia would give up the middle palace for no reason because of his cruelty to a certain concubine.
Moreover, the officials of the previous dynasty were not allowed to die, and they could not just watch the emperor spoil his concubines and destroy his wives.
If the successor gives birth to a prince, then there is really no need to think about it. Just ask that prince not to commit suicide. It can be said that the mother and son have reserved the positions of the Queen Mother and the master of the East Palace.
Therefore, once Empress Ji loses her throne, if Yun Fenghuang cannot move into Yanfu Palace, she will be stuck in the position of a good concubine for the rest of her life.
She will only be sixteen next year, is she just asking to start providing for her retirement
Concubine Xian feels that although the situation is difficult, dreams are not unattainable. What if they come true
