"Mom, don't worry. Just follow the case of the common man Zheng and go east. Concubine Xian is definitely wrong!" In the Yanlan Palace, Concubine Xuan swore to her mother who was looking for an excuse to enter the palace, "The emperor of that day When the City Secretary exposed the common man Ji Sheng in the previous court, his daughter could see clearly from behind, and when the common man Zheng's case came out, the wise concubine's face changed!"
Her mother felt relieved and asked, "Are you surprised by the news? After all, everyone thought that Concubine Shu was responsible for Zheng's pregnancy."
"What's wrong?" Concubine Xuan shook her head and said firmly, "Her face didn't look surprised, but as if some secret she was hiding was revealed and she was caught off guard... so that it took a while before she calmed down. At that time Everyone was listening intently to every move in front, so she didn’t notice her daughter staring at her.”
The reason why Concubine Xuan rushed over and didn't listen to the sound, but stared at Yun Fenghuang, was because she learned a lesson after suffering continuous losses in that Concubine Xian's legs: look at Concubine Xian when she is in trouble!
She followed what Concubine Xian did.
But he didn't expect that by unintentional intervention, he discovered the flaw of Xian Fei.
"Moreover, mother, think about it, Concubine Xie and Concubine Shu are very similar to each other. Concubine Xie said they were sisters, but in reality they are on the same level. Concubine Xie has a dull temper and a soft temperament. It is very pitiful that she is so submissive in her lap. She used it as a memorial to show off how she could be intimate with Duke Yi Guo's biological daughter."
"But Concubine Shu is not like that."
"In terms of status, seniority, and scheming, if a concubine is a concubine in January, even if a concubine is a good concubine, how can she not be bound by her legs and feet?"
"I heard that Concubine Shu just went there. There are rumors in the palace that Concubine Shu was forced to death by Concubine Xian."
"Now it seems that the rumor is not true - is it the common man Zheng who doesn't know what Concubine Xian persuaded her to do?"
After hearing this, her mother pondered for a moment and said: "What I said makes sense, but even if we find out about that matter, it's better not to mention it for the time being. Is Xian Fei Dong's favorite concubine? Let's say she is not good. , even if the truth is not true, I am afraid that Bidong will not be happy. If it is clear whether Zheng is right or not, once he makes Bidong displeased, he may just miss out on the second position, otherwise it will not be worth it. "
"Anyway, when I become queen, how can I deal with her?"
"That's true, not necessarily." Concubine Xuan did not dare to tell her family how she had annoyed Chun Jia in the palace before, so she was wrong about the competition for the junior position. In fact, she felt very unsure, and said with a smile, "Don't you I know how cruel Bidong is to her, Bidong always dislikes ignorant people, but she was messing around with Bidong, but Bidong never got angry."
"My daughter is worried that if she goes eastward like that, even if she takes the back seat, she might not be able to hold her back."
"What I said makes sense, but in the final analysis, the most important thing for Yan Dong is to be the queen." Her mother thought for a while and said, "As for the virtuous concubine, don't worry about how she relies on pampering. Just look at Yan Dong. If he has no intention of making her his queen, then you know that Bidong is not confused. At that time, if you should pretend to be confused, just pretend to be confused and plant more flowers and less thorns, eh?"
Concubine Xuan frowned and said: "My daughter is afraid that she will not be able to take the back seat, so she will also cause trouble to prevent her from entering Yanfu Palace!"
"What does she have to cause trouble for?" Her mother said disapprovingly, "That position has nothing to do with her. Among us, Meng Youyi and Yin Xuan were humiliated by her just after they entered the palace. Yin Xuan's father went to the palace specifically for this purpose. I have complained. Is it possible that Concubine Xian can help them both? As for Concubine Rui, does it have nothing to do with Concubine Xian? In our family, my brother-in-law will marry her sister after all."
"Even if there were some grudges before, for the sake of the marriage, shouldn't they be revealed?"
"After all, if we have a queen in our family, how can my brother-in-law not take advantage of it? When the time comes, Mister Xie will also have a bright face."
"Don't think too much about it. Be good in those few months. Even if Concubine Xian has something bad to say, just bear with it."
"Your Majesty is wise and powerful, and he will definitely be virtuous after he is established."
"I have to let him see my generosity."
"Even after becoming the successor, Bidong still favors the Concubine Xian, so what?"
"Just beg me to give birth to a legitimate son. The two of you, Huanqing Palace, must never go past me in that life. Concubine Xian, please be smarter and lower your profile to please me, so as not to have a difficult confinement in the future!"
When Luo sent Concubine Xuan to the palace, she didn't expect her to win over the special palace. In fact, in a family like theirs, they didn't care whether their daughter would enchant the emperor after she entered the palace.
What they asked for was status, long-term success, extension of Fu Palace to Qingci Palace, Eastern Palace... They just wanted those goals to be achieved. Chunjia often wanted to favor his beloved concubine during the month, but they didn't care.
Well, I can’t say it doesn’t matter at all.
It can be said that they will not conflict with the emperor over such a small matter.
Therefore, the mistress of the Luo family not only did not agree to thoroughly investigate the matter between the common people Zheng and the concubine Xian, she persuaded her daughter with a lot of tolerant and generous words: "I want to have a mother Yi Tiandong." I think my father and brother have taken in many beautiful girls. When did he and my sisters-in-law care about each other? There are too many young and beautiful concubines, and they care about the second concubine. As a big lady, do you think you should be careful about those people who are proud of you and fall out of favor the next, just like water flowing back and forth?"
"The key is to be the queen, Feng Yin, Crown Prince!"
"His Majesty Dong favored Yuan Niang very much at the time. Yuan Niang's noisy behavior as Concubine Xian was very excessive. After all, Xian Fei was very impressive in the palace. Did Yuan Niang even offend Concubine Shu to death... What about now?"
Concubine Xuan felt aggrieved: "Well, we are not willing to help our daughter catch Concubine Xian's sore feet. Please tell me if she can turn around and slander her in front of Bidong, which has resulted in her not being able to enter Yanfu Palace. Can't you blame him!"
Her own mother came over with a glare: "What are you saying to be depressing!"
Even so, for Luo, it was a top priority and there was no room for any mistakes. Therefore, after Luo's mistress returned, she discussed it with her husband and uncle, and sent a generous gift to Xie Xiliu's lap the next day. , expresses that although the person engaged to Xie's daughter is not a concubine, the name of the aunt has been recorded as the aunt's mother, and the treatment will be the same as that of the eldest daughter from now on.
Moreover, Xie's daughter's future mother-in-law, of course her direct mother-in-law, admired Xie's daughter very much and had already planned to let the prospective daughter-in-law take care of the back house together with her eldest daughter-in-law.
Anyway, it is not an emergency situation, I would rather lower my attitude and focus on stabilizing Yun Feng Huang and not causing trouble.
Yun Fenghuang smiled at all the benefits and asked Xiao Chen to send a message to Luo, saying that we can rest assured that if there is a chance, I will definitely shut up Concubine Xuan in front of the emperor.
But after all, the emperor didn't have to listen to her in everything, otherwise, wouldn't she have done it herself? So if it doesn't work out, she won't be responsible.
Luo Shi was relieved after hearing this and told Concubine Xuan to reassure her.
After all, although Yun Fenghuang is not a good person, he has a bad reputation when it comes to collecting money to do things.
Is the problem not limited to the Luo family? After receiving the news, the Ouyang family, the Meng family and even the Yin family sent a bunch of things to Xie Xiliu. Yin Qu was scolded by the elders in the family because of his reluctance. : "They all gave it away, but our family didn't give it away. So Concubine Xian couldn't find any way to say bad things about Xian'er? Originally, I had offended Bidong several times before by asking for justice. At that time, I was begging Luodong very much, so I Are you afraid that Xian'er will be ostracized in the palace?"
"No, I feel that Bidong has been pampering me before, and will he do the same in the future?"
Can the entire Ji family be destroyed
The royal uncle and nephew settled their grudges with the Ji family in that way. Of course, the Ji family is powerful and it is difficult to completely defeat them in a short time without using thunder legs. Didn't they also give a blow to those who are from the same aristocratic family and know how to do it? The family of a queen from the East
When Yin Qu was making trouble before, Chunjia would tolerate it even if he was the Ji family's formidable enemy. Now, he could easily get rid of Yin Qu and even the Yin family in one fell swoop - would Yin Qu be able to take advantage of the situation and get angry with Concubine Xian? time
"Your Majesty, the four families have all sent things. Even the Wei family just sent a generous gift to express their gratitude to Madam Zhaorong for taking care of her during the confinement period." The Qing man looked at the gift list and asked Yun Fenghuang for instructions, "What should we do? Return?"
Yun Fenghuang said nonchalantly: "Except for the Wei family, those other families said that I know their thoughts and will say good things to their daughter in front of Bidong if I have the chance. Otherwise, I would not deny such a big thing." It's up to Gong Ke to decide, and it doesn't matter whether it's a matter of Gong Ke Bu Fong. I beg you if you regret it, please take your things back as soon as possible."
The four families begged her not to cause trouble and not to help their competition, and they didn't expect her to settle the matter.
After all, Yun Fenghuang's decision can be decided with just one word. Why doesn't she become her own successor
So after hearing the news and considering her usual style, I actually found that statement to be quite credible.
Did they stop paying so much attention to the Xuanqing Palace and began to move towards the harem: first of all, of course, they abolished the queen.
The four families had the same purpose in that matter, so they quickly arranged a group of censors and relatives, following the rhythm set by the vassal king, to request a thorough investigation into the truth about the miscarriage of the concubines in Chunjia's harem, so as to prevent the emperor's heir from being poisoned again. .
The words were sharp and pointed at Empress Ji, who complained of illness.
The kind-hearted Chunjia certainly refused at that time: "The queen is my married wife. Although she and Ji Sheng, a common man, are aunt and nephew, they can support all kinds of people. How can the empress dowager and Ji Sheng, a common man, be different?" Aunt-nephew? Since my wedding, the Queen has taken care of my six palaces, comforted my concubines, and is a virtuous and virtuous person. It would be inappropriate to doubt the mother of Ye Jiao just because I am empty before the next year."
He is not a heartless man who fell into Jingdongshi.
Oh no, it should be said that he is not a heartless person who falls into trouble.
The Luo family understood this and quickly asked their mistresses to jointly ask for an audience with the Empress Dowager. Why should they pay their respects to the Empress Dowager? Normally, the Empress Dowager would be too lazy to see them.
But at that time, how could the Empress Dowager dare to offend the masters of the Chunjia camp
She had no problem putting on airs as the Empress Dowager, but others turned around and encouraged the court to deal with the Ji family more severely. What should I do
Such a group of matrons came to Qingci Palace to pay their respects to the Empress Dowager. They mentioned the situation in the temple and expressed whether they were willing to believe Empress Ji. Unfortunately, Empress Dowager Ji was too cheating. Most people in the government and the public now do not deny that she is guilty. His aunt must have his niece, and I doubt the queen is a good one.
"In the past, what happened to the commoner Zheng was very important. The Liang family gave birth to the second princess who was the daughter of Concubine Xuan. Now it is said that the empress did it. After all, the commoner Ji is the heir-mother of the emperor. Isn't it very Are you jealous of Your Majesty’s concubine’s pregnancy?” Concubine Xuan’s own mother told the Empress Dowager with a considerate look on her face, “They are afraid that you will feel uncomfortable after hearing the news, so they came here to tell you: their families must be Do you listen to Bidong? If Bidong says he believes in the Queen, then they definitely don’t believe the rumors and don’t believe Bidong, so please relax and have a good life."
How could the Empress Dowager not understand their intentions
They all listen to the emperor. No matter how nice the emperor's words are, do they really want Ji's daughter to continue to take the throne
"Two months ago, the Ai family said that the Queen's health had not been very good during those two years. She was sick from time to time, which was very unsightly and delayed things." The Empress Dowager smiled bitterly and said lightly, "It's better to let her come. The Qingci Palace will serve the Ai family, and a lady from a famous family will be chosen to preside over the Sixth Palace... Let’s bring those words to the emperor."
Thinking about what she said to Chunjia that day, Chunjia didn't agree, pursed her lips, and said, "Of course, everything depends on the emperor's will. The Ai family is old and confused, and they can't come up with any decent ideas." .”
The several mistresses resigned and left the palace with satisfaction, and then began to discuss whether Empress Ji should stay or not.
