"I don't dare!" Mrs. Li knelt on the ground tremblingly, "I... I was just confused for a moment!"
Yun Fenghuang sneered, walked down to her side, leaned over and pinched her chin, forcing her to look at him, and said softly: "Are you confused for a moment? You are the Xuanqing Palace that I entered when I presided over the first palace. Are you not clear about my temper? I have never done anything similar under my nose before, so why did I get so dizzy when I went to Yi Ziyuan, which is only a few steps away from Jieyue Xiaozhu?"
"Is it because I have been cultivating my character these days that I have made you drift away, or is the lesson from the Jin family last year not fresh enough?"
She let go of Mrs. Li, disgustedly took out her handkerchief and wiped her fingers carefully, sneered, "Shut up, you bitch! I'm looking at you and I don't know what you're thinking? I'm just using this to threaten you so that I can't do anything to you in the future." This way, lest there be any rift between your heir and me when he grows up... But you think I have to support this one in your belly, right?!"
Li's visit to Yi Ziyuan was specially arranged by Yun Fenghuang, because Chunjia seemed to have the intention to suppress Xuanqing Palace, and it had been a long time since she had summoned the concubines of Xuanqing Palace.
Yun Fenghuang thought that the eldest prince and princess Zhaoqing were not safe enough for him, so he delegated the palace affairs to Concubine Xuan and Concubine Rui just after the summer vacation.
The two of them had only been in the palace for a few months. Even if they were from different backgrounds, how could the rules of the aristocratic family be the same as the rules of the royal family, without stumbling upon each other? In addition, Yun Fenghuang would find things for them privately from time to time, so they didn't bother to care about Yi Ziyuan - Yi Ziyuan was a place where the concubines who came to the palace lived without the throne. There is not enough room for the residence of some chiefs, so the palace concubines who come out are accommodated.
Although the palace has begun to show a trend of favoring the emperor over family background, after all, among the low-level concubines, except for Yun Fenghuang, a special case who was promoted very quickly, the rest of the low-level concubines still behaved honestly in front of the ladies.
So Concubine Xuan and Concubine Rui were naturally too lazy to spend time on them.
Yun Fenghuang took advantage of the situation and stuffed some palace people who were rarely favored but had talents and were smart and sensible into the palace, pretending to be concubines from other palaces to seduce Chunjia. Anyway, people like the Li family may not be able to recognize her as the leader when they walk on the street. I don't believe that Chunjia can remember who they are under.
A few days ago, she encouraged the concubines to compete for favor. She seemed generous, but in fact she was giving opportunities to those in her palace.
It turned out that Li Shihuai was pregnant at this moment, and she was playing tricks before she even showed her pregnancy
Yun Fenghuang immediately waved his hand and asked Jiang Lai, who had been summoned, to say, "You should keep an eye on this bitch in the next few days, and don't let her cause trouble for me again!"
Seeing that she had no intention of comforting him, Mrs. Li became frightened and wanted to beg for mercy, but how could Yun Fenghuang pay any attention to her
Jiang Lai simply didn't mean to mess with her, he just asked her to concentrate on raising the fetus, and asked her to prepare quilts and other shock-absorbing items to worry about her return trip... Li then thought, what the chief said was powerful, I still value my pregnancy, otherwise I wouldn't have made any plans to let them think of ways to sleep with Chunjia, right
Well at least she's safe during pregnancy.
As for after giving birth... Mrs. Li gritted her teeth. Anyway, if Yun Fenghuang didn't want to create a gap between her and her own flesh and blood, he couldn't do anything to her as her biological mother.
There are so many powerful people like the Mother Queen Mother, but why haven’t we kept the Mother Mother Queen Mother to this day
That was still the case when Chunjia didn't care much about her biological mother at all.
Anyway, she was not willing to be like the Yi family and the Zhao family, who worked so hard to give birth to a child and the leader raised her, and she still served the leader like a slave without any special treatment - Yi Shi relied on her peerless beauty. She was still favored, and Mrs. Zhao was just an example of an ordinary concubine, as if she had never given birth to any children.
Ms. Zhao didn't dare to argue, but Ms. Li felt that she was not such a coward.
… Yun Fenghuang knew these thoughts very clearly. He turned around and stopped getting angry. He only told her left and right that she would go back to the palace first and then talk about it later.
The return trip this year was not very smooth, mainly because a messenger chased God on the way and delivered bad news that Wei He seemed to be acting strangely.
Although they haven't really invaded the country yet, judging from various signs, they may not be able to settle down for much longer.
When the news arrived, Yun Fenghuang was chatting with him in front of Chunjia, and then he was immediately invited out. Chunjia quickly summoned the regent and other important ministers to discuss the matter, which lasted until late at night.
Finally, the ministers left, but the emperor still had no time to rest, so he asked someone to hold a lamp and dig out a pile of memorials and documents to read.
Yan Yin reminded the emperor twice and was scolded twice. In desperation, he went to find Yun Fenghuang who was about to be resettled and asked her to persuade the emperor to take care of his body.
"What else are you looking for at this time?" Yun Fenghuang asked Yan Yin in a low voice on the way there.
"It's the ones in the north." Yan Yin also whispered, "It's related to Wei He... I don't dare to say anything about such a big matter. It's just that His Majesty is connected with all the people. What should I do if my body is damaged?"
Yun Fenghuang sighed: "Your Majesty is a wise king and always puts the country, the country and the country first. I will try my best to persuade you. If your Majesty is not in a good mood and scolds you, I will ask my father-in-law to help soften your cheeks later."
Yan Yin said hurriedly: "What did your Majesty say? The servants can't persuade Your Majesty to come, but you can definitely do it."
He sincerely has confidence in Yun Fenghuang. After all, the emperor has noticed time and again that he is worried that his ex-fiancé can escape unharmed, and even wins the emperor's sympathy for the concubine... Not to mention meeting him, he has never heard of it. the second.
If this master can't persuade Chunjia, then no one can.
Sure enough, when Yun Fenghuang arrived at the imperial court, Chunjia was unhappy at first. He felt that Yan Yin was too troublesome and that Concubine Xian was not sensible, so she was disturbing him anyway - but Yun Fenghuang cried and complained and sat down with him again. He held a pink fist in his arms and beat his chest and asked: "Your Majesty told me two days ago that he would protect me, but now he doesn't care for himself. Who can I rely on in the future? You It’s taking my life!”
His attitude immediately softened, and he hugged her and coaxed her back: "What are you talking about? I just looked at something for a little longer, and he got into a fight like this. He really deserves to die!"
As he spoke, he glared at Yan Yin, who quickly knelt down and admitted his mistake.
"Why are you scaring him? According to me, Eunuch Yanyin not only has no fault, but has merit." Yun Fenghuang became unhappy and pinched him gently, "I can't know that you are working so hard." Why don't you say anything? Then what's the use of him?"
Chunjia had no choice but to coax her: "Chengchengcheng, what my concubine said is that I will arrange it later, right?"
Yun Fenghuang thought that in this atmosphere he could ask about business, so he stared at him while he was gargling his mouth and asked in a low voice: "Your Majesty, is Wei He's matter urgent? Do you need this? worry?"
"For such a big matter, no matter how prepared you are, you should be prepared for a rainy day." Chunjia paused slightly and sighed, "And you also know the situation in the north, the regent..."
He shook his head and did not continue. He only patted the back of Yun Fenghuang's hand and said, "Thank you for your hard work tonight, my dear concubine. I'll leave it to you."
Because of this, the journey started to speed up the next day, but we arrived at the Imperial Capital two days earlier than originally expected.
After returning to the palace, there was no need to mention some tidying up. Yun Fenghuang left the Qing people to watch the palace people busy, while he took Qing Du and other waiters, hugged a pair of children, and went to Chunwu Palace to pay his respects.
"The Ai family is very ill now, why did they bring such a young heir here?" Queen Mother Yuan was very disapproving when she saw it, and said to her, "Go away quickly, wait until the Ai family is well, and then we can take care of the child." , why make them suffer like this at such a young age!"
Yun Fenghuang said softly: "I haven't seen you for a few days. Not only do I miss you, but my child also misses his grandmother."
Empress Dowager Yuan scolded her: "How can you talk nonsense? For a child of such a young age, it is very good to remember you as a mother-in-law. How can I remember the Ai family?"
"Why don't you remember?" Yun Fenghuang asked, "Although the children are still young, they still know who really cares about them. Don't you think I'm smiling at you?"
However, the eldest prince didn't want to give up. Princess Zhaoqing didn't give her face, but she suddenly cried out with her lips flattened. For a moment, everyone around her was a little embarrassed, but Yun Fenghuang didn't change her expression, "Zhaoqing heard that you want them to leave. , I feel wronged."
The Queen Mother couldn't hold back her laughter and pointed at her: "What a mouth you have... ugh... that's all. Now that I've carried you out, I'll go to Jiashan Palace later."
When it came to Queen Mother Qu, the smile on Queen Mother Yuan's face faded a little, "Just don't get too close to the curtain, just let Queen Mother Holy Mother take a look from a distance."
Yun Fenghuang took out the two children today. In fact, it was mainly to provide a living for Queen Mother Qu. Hearing this, his heart sank and he tried to say: "When I was in the palace, I heard that the Queen Mother Queen Mother was not well. Your Majesty sent her immediately. You've been treated as an imperial physician, why haven't you gotten better yet?"
"...Who knows what's going on?" After hearing this, Queen Mother Yuan's face twitched, and she opened her mouth slightly, as if she wanted to say something but couldn't say it. Finally, she sighed and said slowly, "Anyway, the Queen Mother is You are really sick. Be careful and don't let the children get over their illness."
At this time, Yun Fenghuang said that it was the Ji family who wanted to harm the two empress dowagers, but because empress dowager Yuan was very skilled and had Chunjia's attention, it was difficult for Chunyou Palace to take action, so it was unlucky for empress dowager Qu of Jiashan Palace.
But after a while, she entered the Jiashan Palace, and as she was told, she asked the wet nurse to hold the baby and stand on the threshold of the palace. Queen Mother Qu looked at her from a distance, and then sent her away. She went up to say hello - Queen Mother Qu said weakly: "Ai family This disease is not contagious. If Concubine Xian believes in the Ai family, she might as well come forward and speak, otherwise the Ai family cannot hear clearly now."
Hearing this, Yun Fenghuang walked to the couch and said, "My wife was fine before I left. How could she be like this now?"
As she spoke, she looked at Queen Mother Qu's face and felt that the Queen Mother Queen Mother was really seriously ill. She had even lost six or seven points of her previous beauty and was truly haggard.
"... Mrs. Yuan wants to kill the Aijia." Empress Dowager Qu sighed lowly and stretched out her thin chicken claw-like hand to grab hers. Yun Fenghuang was actually not very willing to have such contact with her, but she didn't show it. Instead, he held her in his arms and was about to comfort her, but Queen Mother Qu motioned for her to lower her head. She tried her best to raise her head, and brought it to her ear, reminding her slightly with difficulty, "You have to be careful... The Yi family doesn't know if she is." For you too... just leave right away and don’t come here again."
Yun Fenghuang's heart was greatly shocked. He looked around the palace and saw a confidant of Queen Mother Qu wiping tears silently not far away. He just asked softly: "Empress, she... why did she do this?"
Could it be because she felt that Chunjia and the Ji family were about to fight to the death, and did not want Queen Mother Qu to share the throne of the Queen Mother in the future
But it doesn’t seem to make sense. When Queen Mother Qu gave birth to Chunjia, Queen Mother Yuan, as the mistress, should have had the opportunity to leave her mother and keep the child. Later, during the growth of Chunjia, she had many ways and opportunities to solve the problem of Qu. Queen Mother. After so many years of not taking action, now that Chunjia has many children, Empress Dowager Yuan wants to harm Empress Dowager Qu
Moreover, Queen Mother Qu is also one of Chunjia's elders. Even if the Fuyang King lineage already has an heir, how can Chunjia not be distracted if her biological mother does something bad? Is this a good thing for Chunjia, who is about to go to war with the Ji family? If it is not good for Chunjia, what good is it for Queen Mother Yuan
Queen Mother Qu squinted her eyes and smiled meaningfully: "It would be bad if you knew about these things about sesame seeds and rotten millet. The Ai family won't tell you. In short, you should be careful in the future. Don't come to the Ai family again no matter what. ,Understand?"
Before Yun Fenghuang could say anything else, she added, "Before leaving, take the two children to the door and give the Ai family a look... Don't worry about giving them the sick breath. The Ai family is not sick, but poisoned... ah?" "
... On this day, Yun Fenghuang left the Jiashan Palace with a lot of worries and returned to his Huanhua Palace. Just as he was sending his children back to the side hall to be settled, Chen Zhu came up to report that Zhaoyuan and Yuan Zhiniang had just gone there. He came to the Empress Dowager Yuan and said, "The news that I heard from you here and there, Zhaoyuan burst into tears in front of my loving mother, the Empress Dowager, and said it was not your fault."
