It didn't take long for Concubine Yun Shu to be invited. She had obviously heard about Concubine Yue's accusation on the way here. Now she came in to see the Queen and finished her ceremony. Before she sat down, she said with a half-smile: "Listen. It is said that many puppets were found in the pond of Ningbi Hall, and all the principals in the palace except Sister Yue Concubine were cursed. Even my own clan sister was among them, but Sister Yue Concubine insisted that she was the one who was created by me. Why? Could it be that my sister has lost her head? "
Concubine Yue sneered and said, "Who are you? Without your support, Yun Fenghuang, a cheap servant, is nothing. How dare you enter the palace and confront me!"
"What are you talking about, sister?" Concubine Shu chuckled, glanced at Yun Fenghuang, and said in a manly voice, "This girl of my clan has always been kind-hearted, gentle and gentle. If she is really as unruly as you said, this I'm afraid I won't be punished by the Empress soon, so how can I be promoted again and again?"
Everyone in the Three Palaces and Sixth Court knew what Concubine Yue cared about most, and how she felt most uncomfortable if she was stabbed with a knife. Concubine Shu added a special sentence at this moment, "And since the newcomers entered the palace, the one your Majesty has favored the most is this girl from my clan. It can be seen that Your Majesty also thinks that Yungui is a good person. My sister has wasted serving Your Majesty for many years, why is it that she doesn’t even have the tolerance to love Wujiwu? This is not the magnanimity that a concubine for Your Majesty should have!"
Concubine Xin sneered and seconded Concubine Shu: "What Sister Shu Concubine said is that all of us entered the palace during His Majesty's wedding. It has been almost ten years, so we are not living up to expectations. Now, except for the concubine Except for those who are pregnant, there is no one who can give birth to an heir for Your Majesty. Finally, the newlyweds have entered the palace, and each one is more youthful than the other. Concubine Yue should learn from this. Others who are ignorant always dominate Your Majesty, and you will have another child. No!"
Concubine Xin was particularly happy when she said this. She had a grudge with Concubine Yue because back then Emperor Chunjia rested in Chengyue Palace according to the arrangement of the queen. At that time, Concubine Yue, who had just had a baby, sent someone to leave her lying in bed late at night on the pretext of feeling sick to her stomach. The Emperor called her over... Although Concubine Xin felt that it was hard to save her face, she had such a noble character that she felt uncomfortable and didn't want to vent her feelings like a resentful woman, so she didn't mention it when she paid her respects that day.
But she didn't say that someone said that if this person had a little bit of brains and insisted that she was really uncomfortable and was scared, so she asked people to call the emperor, and apologized to Concubine Xin, this matter would be over.
But what Concubine Yue said: "We all entered the palace together, and His Majesty goes to Concubine Xin several times every month. There is no news at all until now. Why should she dominate His Majesty?"
Concubine Xin always felt that she didn't rush up and tear her mouth out on the spot. She only blamed the habits cultivated by generations of scholars for not being able to act like a shrew.
Now, after a few years, he finally got his revenge, and his usually cold face showed a smile.
Empress Ji watched the excitement with a smile, and saw Concubine Yue jumping up from the ground to fight with Concubine Shu, but was held down by the palace guards. Then she supported Jin Buyao on her temples and said lazily: "Concubine Yue, you keep saying that Concubine Shu harmed you. Now that Concubine Shu has arrived, is there any evidence? You must know that you are just a concubine, but Concubine Shu is one of the four concubines! If you slander a high position without any evidence, I can spare you. The rules of the palace I can’t spare you!”
Concubine Yue said sadly and angrily: "You have all colluded, so what's the point of asking me these questions again?!"
"Sister Yue Fei thinks it's boring, why don't you say something meaningful?" Concubine Shu chuckled, "We're tired of hearing those few words you said back and forth. It's not like you guys are bullying us together. I'm just 'I definitely didn't do this, someone must have framed me', I said, you are so old, can you grow up a little, don't blindly tell lies with your eyes open, and call young sisters After seeing it, I thought we old people were just like you, so I laughed to death!"
Concubine Yue struggled again, trying to rush forward and fight Concubine Shu... but was held down again.
Empress Ji smiled and glanced at the palace maid next to her. The palace maid understood and came over to whisper: "The Queen Mother, the Queen Mother, has just received the news. She is going to Huzhu Palace to help rescue the siege. Unexpectedly, when she stood up, the world was spinning... At this moment We have invited the imperial doctor to diagnose and treat you!"
"It's really hard for her." Empress Ji hummed, "Those years of hard work..."
The queen did not continue, and only said, "It seems that she will definitely not come over. In that case, there is no need to waste time with this senseless person."
He directly placed the charges of cursing the concubines in the palace and slandering Concubine Shu on Concubine Yue, "If someone else did such a thing, I would never forgive her lightly! But when you look at the face of the loving mother, the Empress Dowager, furthermore Concubine Yue is an old man who has been with His Majesty when he was staying in the residence. After all, she is different from us. If we follow the rules completely, even if His Majesty doesn't say it, I will not be able to bear it in my heart."
After pondering for a while, while Concubine Yue screamed and cried, she decided to demote her to Jieyu.
"Your Majesty is so kind." Concubine Shu asked with a smile upon hearing this, "It's just a rule in the palace that only first-level wives have titles. I wonder if the title of the Yuan family is still retained?"
Empress Ji glanced at Concubine Yue who was crying bitterly, and said nonchalantly: "After all, I was once a concubine of the first palace, so I'll just keep her as a memory."
After saying this, Concubine Shu and Concubine Xin both laughed together.
Because when Yuan Yuniang was conferred as a concubine, she should have a title according to the rules. However, the ones proposed by Chunjia were all rejected by the empress for various reasons. It took a lot of negotiation before the empress settled on the word "Yue".
Originally, there was nothing wrong with this word. Emperor Chunjia explained to Yuan Yuniang that it meant that she was the real person she liked in the Three Palaces and Sixth Courtyard... As a result, Yuan Yuniang was just happy when she heard that the queen, the noble concubine Shufei and others Talking and laughing, when mentioning this matter, the queen said: "Of course the titles your majesty chose are excellent, but I thought, are they worthy of Yuan's virtue? In the end, your majesty was persuaded to choose 'Yue' The word, left and right is just a little thing that His Majesty once liked and brought into the palace to raise, so where does all the fuss come from."
Yuan Yuniang: “………!!!”
She wanted to resign from this title, but the Queen finally convinced Emperor Chunjia, so how could she agree to it
Later, the emperor coaxed her several times, saying that no matter what kind of ill intentions the queen had, he truly felt that Yuan Yuniang was the only person he liked, so he agreed to use this word as the title... Finally she reluctantly gave in. Accept it.
Now that the queen mentioned it in public, Yuan Yuniang was angry, resentful and regretful. Under the intense emotion, her vision suddenly went dark, and she fainted just like that!
The concubines looked on, but showed no sympathy. Concubine Shu also reminded the empress: "Mother, this Yue Jieyu was still grounded before. Now that she has been demoted, will the grounding continue?"
"Your Majesty, I think it's better to continue with the confinement." Concubine Xin said immediately, "After all, Yue Jieyu has been staying in Huzhu Palace for the past two days, and she has reached out to my Chengyue Palace and the imperial concubine's sister. If this is released, there will be chaos in this palace?"
Concubine Shu said: "What sister Xin Fei said is... In fact, I feel that Yue Jieyu cursed me and these people just to repay them. Even the queen... is really a heinous crime! If not, during the confinement period, let her copy the scriptures, thinking that Your Majesty prays for blessings, does Quan make up for it a little?"
… Now that it has developed to this point, Yun Fenghuang doesn’t have much to worry about anymore.
But Empress Ji couldn't stand it and took Concubine Shu's suggestion, and decided to let Yun Fenghuang watch Yue Jieyu copy the book.
Yun Fenghuang: "..."
Let her be the overseer, this is really... great!
I'm afraid that Queen Mother Yuan and Emperor Chunjia will move too quickly. She has not been working as a supervisor for a long time!
"My daughter-in-law doesn't care about praying for blessings or not. My daughter-in-law doesn't believe in this." However, Yun Fenghuang didn't worry about it in vain, because Queen Ji had dealt with the matter and dismissed everyone, and immediately went to Chunwu Palace to cry to the Queen Mother Yuan. "The main thing is that I want to use this matter to temper Yue Jieyu's temperament... After all, if she does such a thing in front of everyone, no matter how much the wife wants to defend it, how can she not deal with it impartially? Speaking of which, the daughter-in-law knows it." She has little talent, little education, and a humble appearance, and has never been favored by His Majesty. To have Yue Jieyu in the palace is like letting Your Majesty take care of her on behalf of her daughter-in-law... It is too late for her to feel sorry for her, so how can she be willing to punish her?"
Before Empress Dowager Yuan could speak, she continued to cry, "Actually, there are not many lords in the palace now, and Yungui is just a concubine! If Yue Jieyu just cursed other people, my daughter-in-law would sacrifice her face to persuade them one by one, and she would also give them to her. She turned big things into small things. But the concubine's sister is different, she is pregnant now! Your Majesty's knees are empty, the emperor's heir in the concubine's belly is so important... Previously, Yue Jieyu killed the Cai Nv who crawled on the bed, the emperor Grandma has already been furious once!"
"If the Imperial Grandmother comes to know about this matter again, my daughter-in-law won't know how to explain it... Mother, my daughter-in-law knows that Yue Jieyu hates her daughter-in-law right now, so she will definitely think that she is deliberately trying to tease her!"
"But how could my daughter-in-law have such thoughts? My daughter-in-law has nothing to do about this and all this! Wuwuwuwuwu..."
Queen Mother Yuan: "..."
What can she do
According to the rules, she cursed these many concubines, and publicly slandered concubines with higher status than herself. It was natural for her to seize her position and be thrown into the cold palace. Now she is just demoted to Jieyu, and the queen also mentioned Yuejieyu's staff to kill her if she is pregnant. Cainü's criminal record was brought up when the Empress Dowager was brought up... As a loving mother, what else could she say
She couldn't even help her niece reverse the case.
After all, the queen has already been so arrogant, and now she personally comes to explain to her cheap mother-in-law. Any words of doubt or objection from her now seem to be unreasonable and insistent.
Mother Yuan was always messing around and getting into trouble, but that was because she was protected by her aunt, Queen Mother Yuan, and Emperor Chunjia. But Queen Mother Yuan was in this palace, who could protect her
"..." The Queen Mother finally sighed and said softly, "My good child, I have always been ignorant, but I have wronged you!"
She angrily talked to the queen about mother-in-law and filial piety, and finally brought the topic back to the matter of letting Yun Fenghuang supervise Yue Jieyu's copying of books, "I'm afraid this matter is inappropriate. Yun Guiren and this group of people entered the palace. She wants to continue the heirs for the emperor, and this Yungui native is especially called frequently. She has gone to see Niang Niang. If the emperor summons her, won't it delay things?"
Empress Ji smiled brightly and said: "Don't worry, Queen Mother. Your Majesty has been lingering around Yun Gui Ren for a long enough time these days. If you continue like this, the grievances of the concubines who entered the palace around the same time as Yun Gui Ren may not be suppressed by your wife. … Therefore, my daughter-in-law plans to go see His Majesty later. Please follow the rules and welcome the newlyweds one by one."
So don't worry, Yungui has plenty of time to supervise your niece!
Seeing that Empress Dowager Yuan was choked, Empress Ji took advantage of her and behaved, and said, "And my wife is doing this for Yue Jieyu's own good. Even if Yue Jieyu is demoted, she is still the head of the first palace, and Yun Gui is just a nobleman! Let's give in. She went to supervise it just to shut up the mouths of Concubine Shu and Concubine Xin, so that they would not always say that the wife favored Yue Jieyu! In fact, when Yun Guiren went to Ningbi Hall, he was not serving Yue Jieyu. Copying books? Mother, are you right?"
"..." Empress Dowager Yuan was silent for a long time before she chuckled, "That's right, that kid from Melia needs to be taught a lesson."
The problem is, Yuan Yuniang herself doesn’t think so!
After she woke up, she looked at Yun Fenghuang who was standing not far away, holding a book and pen and ink in his hand, urging her to copy the book without making mistakes. She almost went crazy! ! !
