It took a while for Yun Fenghuang to return to the banquet. Chunjia almost waited for her to sit down before announcing the end of the banquet.
It was already very late when the banquet ended, so Chunjia accompanied her directly to Huanhua Hall.
"Where did you go just now?" Because both of them were tired that day, they washed up and settled down separately, and no longer had any thoughts of tenderness. Before going to bed, Chunjia thought about it and asked, "Why did it take so long?"
"It's not about the Lord." Yun Fenghuang said casually, "Your Majesty also knows that my natal family's family is humble, so you are not abandoning the eldest princess. Naturally, you are sincere and cautious... even if there are people from the Ministry of Etiquette to guide you. , I am always worried that I have done something wrong and will displease the eldest princess. No, I asked my sisters-in-law to help spread the word. Brother Twenty-one is still worried. Today, I took advantage of the banquet and asked Zhu E to call out the concubine. Carefully I carefully inquired about the eldest princess's likes and taboos... I was delayed in talking about it."
Chunjia smiled and said, "Sui'an has always been well-behaved and not a picky person. Xie Wuzheng is also a little cautious."
Yun Fenghuang said: "The eldest princess is easy-going. The eldest princess is easy-going. After all, she is a golden person and cannot be neglected."
After she said this, she felt that Chunjia's look at her suddenly became meaningful and confused. She quickly thought about what she just said and thought that there was nothing taboo about it, so she asked directly, "Your Majesty, what is this?" yes?"
"Eldest Princess, please don't neglect me. I am an emperor after all, and I haven't seen how attentive you were to me when you first entered the palace." Chunjia stared at her and said slowly, "My beloved, ask yourself whether you will treat me better in the future. ?”
Yun Fenghuang immediately became unhappy, turned over, pressed on top of him, propped up his chest with her elbows, and said condescendingly: "Your Majesty, you think I am not good to you?"
Chunjia said: "You have never asked anyone to find out my likes and taboos like Xie Wuzheng did to Sui'an."
"How can you and Her Royal Highness Princess Sui'an be the same?" Yun Fenghuang said "ha" and said disdainfully, "Brother Twenty-one is the legitimate fiancé of the princess, and the wedding is coming soon, so it is natural to ask. But I am only you. My concubine, not the royal empress, has been spying on you too much, so I shouldn’t be considered to be spying on the emperor with bad intentions!”
"If you ask others, your intentions will be misunderstood. Then if you ask me yourself, won't it work?" Chunjia said slowly, "But you, you haven't even asked, you will fool me!"
Yun Fenghuang chuckled and said, "Then does your Majesty know what I like most and what I dislike the most?"
Chunjia sighed and said that he had never seen such a concubine. At this moment, he couldn't find a way to prove his sincerity to the emperor. On the contrary, he blamed the emperor for not caring enough about you
"Your Majesty doesn't feel sorry for me. I'm so pampered and sad. How can I expect so much?" Yun Fenghuang said, "If you still have the mind to consider your Majesty's preferences at this moment, that would be a deep city! That would be so. Even if you show care and concern for you, who knows what you are thinking in your heart? It’s because of this that I have an innocent heart!"
Chunjia couldn't hold back her laughter and joked: "Then I don't care about my concubine. Of course I am my concubine's favorite! What I dislike the most is of course I don't care about you anymore, right?"
Yun Fenghuang chuckled and said, "Everything your Majesty says is right."
He turned over and turned his back to him.
Chunjia laughed behind her: "Are you angry like this? Huh?"
"Nonsense, I am very happy." Yun Fenghuang said without looking back, "Your Majesty knows my thoughts so well, I am so happy!"
Chunjia teased her: "I'm so happy? Then why do you turn around?"
"You're not allowed to have fun alone?"
"You can have fun with me!" Chunjia said while poking her lower back. Yun Fenghuang couldn't hold it back for a while, so she kicked him backwards and then sat up pretending to be frightened. Admitting his mistake: "Your Majesty, it really tickled me... Are you okay?"
She looked like she was waiting for Chunjia to say it was okay. Chunjia was speechless for a while and then said: "I feel pain in my leg."
"Then should we invite a doctor?" Yun Fenghuang asked with concern, "You are serious. I just asked you to drink less, but you didn't listen. Are you feeling uncomfortable now?"
Chunjia reminded: "I was kicked by my beloved concubine, and it has nothing to do with drinking."
"Your Majesty, what you are saying is that I am so helpless that I can't kick you so hard?" Yun Fenghuang refused to admit it on the spot and said seriously, "You must have drunk too much, please stop talking. I will go with you to summon the imperial physician!"
Chunjia felt a little itchy, so she grabbed Concubine Xian who was about to get up and go out to call someone: "Concubine, do you think I'm easy to bully?"
"That's quite a bit." Yun Fenghuang thought for a while and said sincerely, "Look at how rude the regent is today! It's obvious that you are bullying Your Majesty to talk easily. You are nothing!"
"Just tell yourself, don't talk nonsense!"
Yun Fenghuang was aggrieved: "Then what should I do if you want me to be close to you? If I am not restrictive with you, you will feel that I am bullying you; if you are respectful, you will feel that I am not seeing you... I should have known this." If it’s difficult, then it’s difficult, it’s better not to enter the palace, and you should have twisted your hair and become a monk, it would really save you trouble!”
"Here he comes again, and every time I ask you about something, you are like this." Chunjia said unhappily, "Ignorant women in the world just cry, make trouble, and hang themselves. My beloved concubine is such a smart and clever person. Why are you acting like those people?"
Yun Fenghuang thought to himself, if you say that, aren't you going to do the same thing
He started rubbing his eyes and said with choked up sobs in his voice: "It turns out that Your Majesty now thinks that I am an ignorant woman..."
Chunjia yelled, dumbfounded: "Don't do this!"
"You are still so cruel to me..." Yun Fenghuang was whimpering when his face suddenly changed and his voice suddenly became colder, "Your Majesty has always been magnanimous, why did you start picking on me when you were so good? Could it be that he was annoyed by me just now? Didn’t you bow to the regent at the banquet?”
"If I really wanted to stop you at that time, what would you have said?" Chunjia sighed and said, "Such a quarrel may break your face, but it is also a good way to see who is in the heart of the person below... Why are you so suspicious? ? You are my person, even if you do something wrong, you should handle it personally. It is your turn to be sent by Gong Xiangruo to see how you feel?"
Yun Fenghuang snorted: "If I hadn't felt that he was disrespectful to Your Majesty, why would I have stood up and provoked him to hate you?"
He said sternly, "It's just that those words were spoken by me to anger the regent, but they were not all angry words: the regent was too cruel. Even if there is a new person and the old one is forgotten, let's not talk about it. After all, the prince is his own flesh and blood. He doesn't have many heirs now, and he doesn't even care about them. As for his love with Concubine Yuan, I have heard about it. It has only been ten years, and he is so harsh on Dou. The bones and blood left behind by the princess, aren’t you afraid that the princess will look for him at night?”
In fact, she is not very interested in Gong Xiangxiao's situation. The key is the news sent by Qi Jiulu. The sooner Gong Xiangxiao can be eradicated, the better. Otherwise, Wei He will make a big fuss, and who will deal with it then? Not necessarily.
At this time, Yun Fenghuang kept saying that the regent was cold to the prince. Chunjia must be able to understand that this cheap uncle Wang can be so cruel to his own son, not to mention that in the eyes of the regent, he has a grudge to seize the throne. The emperor
So you have to kill this uncle quickly!
"I don't know that Duke Xiangruo is ambitious." Chunjia said, "But as you saw today, he is the brother of Xiaozong after all. He has been in power for many years and still has a lot of people under his command. Nowadays, the world is not very good. Although the chaos in the Three States has been suppressed, the people are still fearful and uneasy. Moreover, I have not been in charge for a long time, so I don’t know if there are places in the world that have not broken out like the Three States."
"A few days ago, news came from the North, saying that Wei He was not very peaceful."
"So it's better to be able to talk things through and solve them properly... But I hope he can also focus on the overall situation!"
Yun Fenghuang said: "Your Majesty, I am not saying bad things about him because I have a grudge against the regent, but because of his behavior of walking away from the table today, I am not understanding the general situation."
"No matter how much you tease me, I won't be able to deal with him right now." Chunjia knew what she was thinking, smiled faintly, and reached out to touch her hair, "Good boy, let's settle it first. This matter needs to be considered in the long term. "
I am just afraid of long nights and many dreams!
Yun Fenghuang curled his lips, but finally lay down with him. After all, if he wanted to become the regent, it would be impossible without Chunjia's intervention. She is a palace concubine, no matter how powerful she is in the palace, she can reach out outside the palace.
Fortunately, Chunjia doesn't look like she's facing a formidable enemy. She should have made plans a long time ago... right
Thinking about the sudden arrangement of the Ji family and understanding it, Yun Fenghuang still has more confidence in the emperor.
Early the next morning, Chunjia got up and went to court as usual. She slept slowly until three o'clock in the morning before getting up and tidying up.
After that, he took care of some palace affairs. Seeing that it was almost time, he asked someone to bring the two children to him and tease them.
At this time, people from the palace came to report that Concubine Xuan came to see her and had important matters to discuss.
"I'm probably here to talk about the eldest princess's descent." Yun Fenghuang guessed so, and waved his hands to take the children back to the inner room. Although it was unlikely that Concubine Xuan would murder the emperor's heir during her trip, she never bet on it. With this probability, except for the two children who occasionally held them in front of Chunjia and the Empress Dowager, no one else would get close to them.
After sending the emperor's heir away, she asked someone to bring up some of the regulations she had prepared before, planning to discuss them together when Concubine Xuan came in.
As a result, when Concubine Xuan came in, her expression was a little strange, nervous but excited.
"Your Majesty, I have something to do, and I want to talk to you alone." After the ceremony, she whispered softly, "My Majesty, please do it."
Yun Fenghuang felt that something was not right, but Huanhua Palace was her territory and she had nothing to be afraid of, so she nodded and asked everyone to retreat.
In an instant, there were only two concubines in the palace. Concubine Xuan pursed her lips and suddenly said: "I even saw it!"
"What?" Yun Fenghuang couldn't help but frown slightly as he said this without any clue.
Concubine Xuan stared at her closely for a moment and then said: "Why do you pretend to be ignorant, Concubine Xian? Who doesn't know that you have made an engagement before entering the palace? I said I saw it, what else do you think you saw?" ?”
Yun Fenghuang's pupils shrank, but he immediately laughed, leaned back very relaxed, and said leisurely: "Oh? Then you should tell me, what did you see?"
She looked very interested and not panicked at all, which made Concubine Xuan a little bit at a loss because it was nothing like what she had expected.
But Concubine Xuan quickly calmed down and told herself that this was all a trick of Concubine Xian: "I saw you having a private meeting with your husband under the sweet-scented osmanthus tree. When the man left, I asked someone to find out his identity. , that is Qi Jiulu, your former fiancé!"
