After that day, Concubine Xian seemed to be withered, and all the palace affairs were left to Concubine Rui.
It turns out that Luo Hanyi and Ruifei have been left to take care of all the recent palace affairs, and those who want to be more serious are reporting to Concubine Xian.
If Luo Hanyi of Ming Dynasty was reprimanded and Concubine Xian had to leave the country, Concubine Rui would have a headache.
The Lord begged her not to be sure what was going on, so she found an excuse to visit her, but Concubine Xian didn't even see her, so she sent someone from the Qing Dynasty to tell her that she was not feeling well, and asked her to take care of everything on her own.
If you really have no idea, you can ask the Empress Dowager, the Empress Dowager, the Empress Dowager, or the Emperor for instructions.
She wouldn't care about it anyway.
Concubine Rui was very confused and went to ask Luo Hanyi privately. Luo Hanyi thought that she should not let down her guard. Maybe Concubine Xian had a new way out? Anyway, they didn't believe that Yun Fenghuang would let go of power like that.
The news reached Empress Dowager Yuan, who pondered: "Could it be that the emperor told her about the demotion?"
If Chunjia did not side with her own mother, the Queen Mother would be relieved.
That means that even though Yun Fenghuang is favored, he has not crossed the line to raise Chunjia, and the threat is not as high as she thought.
In that case, would you please let Yun Fenghuang kill Qi Jiulu
Empress Dowager Yuan was very hesitant. It turned out that Chunjia had arrived at that time, and she had not seen him for two months. The emperor looked very haggard, and he bowed to the empress dowager somewhat sadly.
The Queen Mother felt distressed when she saw it: "How did it end up like that? Could it be that Gong Xiang Ruoji's fellow is causing trouble for me again?"
"Uncle Wang was resentful of the child. Before the Ji family was destroyed, he was very scrupulous. At that time, it was natural to see the child openly to see if it was a thorn in his side." Chunjia sighed and said, "Those children are used to it. , after all, the child is not the biological flesh and blood of the late Emperor Xiaozong, but he inherited that great position, no wonder Uncle Wang is unhappy."
Empress Dowager Yuan said disapprovingly: "Although he is not her own flesh and blood, heirs are also not sons. If his father-in-law Xiang sent a cheap maid to give birth to a son, if he did not have the protection of the late Emperor Xiaozong, then the Empress Dowager and the common man Ji Sheng's legs would be better. Can he be allowed to live until now? He should repay me for the kindness he wronged Xiaozong! After all, I am Xiaozong’s legitimate heir!"
"That bastard is ungrateful and repays kindness with evil. The Ai family saw that he went to Didong, how could he have the face to meet the late Emperor Xiaozong!"
"The Queen Mother said no, but after all, when Xiaozong was still alive, the child had not yet been adopted. As you know, there were always rumors in the harem of the previous dynasty that Xiaozong wanted to make Uncle Wang the crown prince. But many people think that Uncle Wang did not want to be adopted by Xiaozong. He is a wise king, not a child." Chunjia sighed, "Otherwise, during the Mid-Autumn Festival banquet, Wang Shubuqin left the venue early due to etiquette, and there wouldn't be so many people following him."
Empress Dowager Yuan was silent for a moment, then pulled his leg and rubbed it, sighing: "I have wronged him! He is obviously not the emperor, but in the years since he ascended the throne, he has not had a smooth confinement for a few days! How can he bully us orphans and widows?" Mother, please be patient for now until he is a month old..."
There was murderous intent in the Queen Mother's eyes.
Did Chunjia follow her words and talk about the hardships of mother and son in those years? Did she spend her days in fear since the death of King Duan of Fuyang? She was afraid that if she did something wrong, she would be deprived of her title by the court. After she ascended the throne, her life would be even worse. I'm scared... In short, in those years, it was not only Chunjia who had a happy confinement for a few days, but also Empress Dowager Yuan.
"The child himself is just poor, but if he thinks about the fact that his mother followed him around all those years, not only could he not be able to live in peace and stability, but the child would have been wronged all the time. The child will feel that he is really unfilial."
When Mrs. Yuan said this, she looked soft and calm, but a slight coldness slowly gathered in her eyes. She said softly: "My child has alienated the Ai family by saying that. If a mother doesn't think about her child, then Who can I do it for? Just ask for my kindness, let alone those who endure all these hardships and suffer all kinds of sins, just don’t let me resent the Aijia, and the Aijia will admit it!"
Chunjia felt that what she said was not wrong, so she forced a smile and said, "What did the Queen say? How could a child resent the Queen?"
"Originally I wouldn't, but who told me to be so obsessed with Xiao Yun?" Queen Mother Yuan looked at him with disappointment and sadness, "Don't I want to shut her up because I have made such a big circle?"
"..." Chunjia was silent for a while and said in a low voice, "Mother, do you think the child is such an unreasonable person? Although Concubine Xian has an out-of-touch temperament and does not look like an ordinary lady, she has not been since she entered the palace. Did you do anything that was actually out of line?"
Empress Dowager Yuan laughed angrily: "Having a private meeting with a foreigner is not out of the ordinary, so what is?"
Chunjia said: "I'm just passing by to receive a courtesy. Concubine Xian is one of the four concubines. Shouldn't Mrs. Qi say hello when she sees her? And he may not be willing to appear there."
"Do I think that this matter was arranged by the Ai family to frame Concubine Xian?!" Empress Dowager Yuan slapped the table angrily, "Even so, who doesn't know about their previous relationship? Don't they know it themselves?! They don't even know why. Are you trying to avoid suspicion?! I've seen people receiving gifts... I've seen people receiving gifts normally, please send all the attendants away?! If that's obvious, wouldn't it be clear that a smart person like me, the red emperor, wouldn't know what to do?!"
She sighed deeply, "But I couldn't keep her shut up. I thought about it for myself, if I was stunned by her, or what?"
"I never need to worry about my mother - if my mother really doesn't understand, why can't I let her go?! What's so good about her?!"
"What does De Rong have about being a virtuous and virtuous person?!"
"Zi Jian is so aggressive in finding faults, and is so narrow-minded that he suppresses newcomers. Even if a woman leaves her ordinary home, the family will be cleared out, let alone the palace!"
"The Aijia has always felt that they have not taught Melia well, so I have to endure her for many years... But the Aijia must say that even if Melia is unreasonable, she is not as bad as she is! Let's see what she has done since she entered the palace. If you don’t agree on any of these things, will it bring benefits to yourself, Mr. Xie?!”
"Which one of them is for my benefit?!"
"My doting on her is not as good as that of Yi Shi, who is beautiful and docile at least; or Ruifei of Luo Shi, who is at least very sensible; I really can't pick anyone from the Sixth Palace and she won't be more trouble-making than her... Why can't I do that? take things too hard?"
Does Queen Mother Yuan really wonder if Yun Fenghuang is just like that in her opinion? Apart from being more noisy, nothing else in the palace is top-notch. That kind of person might find it novel at first, but it has been almost two years, and the emperor is not very new
Especially when there are a lot of people in the palace next year, who is not pretty, cute, well-behaved and sensible
Who is not stronger than Yun Fenghuang
"..." Chunjia was silent.
At that time, his silence seemed to Empress Dowager Yuan to be a refusal of resistance.
Something came into the eyes of the Queen Mother: "Your Majesty, is the Ai family really good for me? If I don't think the Ai family is narrow-minded and it doesn't mean that the Xiaoyun family will be favored, the Ai family won't say anything, but I have to remember that Ji How did Shi Fu get up? How did Xiao Zong Fu die so young? What kind of confinement did I have in those years after I ascended the throne?! Do I have the heart to let my heirs survive like this little by little in the future? How intelligent I am, It can break free from Ji's legs, but will my heir be able to do the same?!"
"Mother, there is a huge gap in family status between the Xie family and the Ji family. Even if it is the Ji family before Shenzong ascended the throne, it cannot be compared to the Xie family." Chunjia had no choice but to speak, and he said in a deep voice, "And Concubine Xian also Not the Empress Dowager, the Empress Dowager could get Shenzong's respect and special favor, but it was because of the Ji family; but the Xie family had Mingyue's favor, but it all came from the Xianfei... The Xianfei did not have the ambition to be accepted by the family. People left and right.”
The Queen Mother sneered: "Is she not controlled by the family? Does she need Xie's encouragement? When something happened, she kept saying that she was not the daughter of the Yun family, and used the Yiguo Palace as a shield. If it's good, she will It’s too late to go and fuck Mrs. Xie!”
Chunjia was silent for a while and said in a low voice: "The virtuous concubine is not of high birth, but the number of concubines in the palace is not that of a noble family. She cannot help but lack the confidence, so she..."
"Remembering that you are not from a high family, you should be more cautious in your words and deeds, instead of relying on the emperor's favor to be domineering!" Empress Dowager Yuan was so angry that she raised her voice and shouted, "And what qualifications does she have to say that she lacks confidence?! There are many people who are better born than her and are serving as palace concubines. She is one of the four concubines of the Ming Dynasty, and the legitimate daughter of Luo family and other famous families, how dare they bow before her!"
"Similarly, there is nothing to do. The concubines who entered the palace to serve me when I was married were all empty-handed. What about her? She also raised the emperor's eldest son and the emperor's eldest daughter - such grace , I don’t have Ji Lingzi who I married, I don’t have my childhood sweetheart Mei Niang, I don’t have any concubines from my wedding, and I don’t have the newlywed who will enter the palace next year, she is the only one who has it!”
"I said it myself, does she look like she has no confidence?!"
"Look at Aijia, she is spoiled by me. She is so confident that she becomes more and more lawless!"
Chunjia remained silent.
Seeing this, Empress Dowager Yuan became even more angry: "So if the Ai family were torn apart by me and tried to make sense, wouldn't I not be able to listen? Didn't I want to protect her?"
"..." Chunjia was silent for a moment and then said slowly, "Mother, my child has never relaxed for a moment since I can remember, until Ming Dynasty. It is rare to meet someone I like, so I would like to ask my mother to let my child do whatever he wants for once, okay?" "
The Queen Mother was stunned.
At a moment's notice, tears burst out of her eyes.
The waiters in the palace were trembling, holding their breath and concentrating, and did not dare to express their anger. Even Zhan Liu outside was silent and did not dare to speak.
In such silence, the sound of tears running down Queen Mother Yuan's cheeks and falling on the skirt of her clothes was particularly clear. The Queen Mother first shed tears silently, then began to sob uncontrollably, and finally sobbed out: "Injustice! Injustice." ! There are countless concubines in the Sixth Palace, and all the beauties from the east of the world can fall into my arms. How could I...how could I just..."
Chun Jiaduan was walking in the east, his face expressionless, and he said calmly: "I ask the queen to grant me permission."
Seeing that the Queen Mother was crying so sadly, Xu Fou finally showed some weakness, softened his tone, and added softly, "I promise, I won't let the Concubine Xian mess around."
"... Of course the Ai family will help me. I am the only child in the Ai family. If not, who can I help?" Empress Dowager Yuan burst into tears after hearing this. She cried a few times, but immediately stopped and wiped her hands with her sleeves. He grimaced, held back the embarrassment and sadness, and sneered, "The Ai family has one request: how noble his son is! I value a good concubine so much, and a good concubine should repay me with the same affection. That’s right!”
She didn't give Chunjia a chance to speak, and continued, "Many people know that Concubine Xian was engaged to Qi Jiulu in her early years. It has been found out time and time again. Even if the rumors are refuted at first, it will not bring shame on the royal family! If we can never avoid future troubles, Let Concubine Xian resolve this matter completely on her own!"
