Yuan Yuniang, who was looking at Xijing angrily, widened her eyes instantly: "What did I say?!"

Immediately he gasped, "Am I crazy?! That's absolutely wrong!"

"No?" Yun Fenghuang looked at her with a half-smile, and waved his leg to tell Xijing and Xile to retreat to the east, so that he could have some time to say, "Then Jieyu told him, can Bidong compete with the Ji family at that time?"

Without waiting for Yuan Niang's reply, she added, "Excuse me, how could I be demoted to Jieyu? Your Majesty Dong Ruming is dormant, but Ji is already suspicious, what should you do then? Hardly?" Are you going to stand up to it? If you stand up to it, that will be the consequences of what he just told me. Even if the imperial concubine cannot get a boy at one stroke, just follow the example eight years ago. With so many lords, there are always a few ignorant children to choose from. ?"

"For the sake of clarity, you can take a step back and continue to be patient."

The light in Yun Fenghuang's eyes flashed, and he said softly, "Actually, your Majesty, the Empress Dowager and Bidong are very loving mothers. Is it right to choose Ruming's opportunity to take action? The noble concubine is happy, and Mr. Lingshan has entered the regent's palace. Is that right?" When the balance of the former dynasty and the harem is broken, you have to operate it well. Then the fisherman will benefit. If you can't say it, the sea is wide and the fish can jump, and the sky is high and the birds can fly!"

"But Ruming's mother, the Empress Dowager, and the Empress already have doubts..."

Yuan Niang said nervously: "They are just doubtful! Do you have any evidence? The Ji family is most afraid of the Queen Mother and the empress interfering in politics. Ji family will not believe what they say!"

Yun Fenghuang said: "I believe that kind of nonsense? The Queen Mother and Queen are of the Ji family's blood. Can they be in their current position? Can they rely on the emperor's favor or their own virtuous virtues? Can they rely on the Ji family? ! Those two people look so stupid. Instead of protecting the Ji family, are they favoring Bidong?! The Ji family may not like women to participate in politics, but when it comes to major matters involving life and death, they must not keep an eye out?!"

Then he sneered, "Maybe the Ji family will use such rumors to trick them at the critical moment!"

"What do I know when I come out of a small family?" Yuan Fu Niang said in a distraught voice, "When Emperor Shenzong passed away, Emperor Xiaozong ascended the throne. He didn't like the Ji family's prerogative of power and deliberately suppressed his relatives. However, because Xiaozong was young, he was in the middle of the court. The foundation is still shallow, and the matter was discovered by Ji at the beginning... After that, it was impossible to get what he wanted. In the meantime, the Empress Dowager felt sorry for her son, and often tried to distract Emperor Xiaozong, and even persuaded his mother, the Empress Dowager, to help Emperor Xiaozong... But later on, the Ji family was superior in skills, and even the queen mother, the Empress Dowager, eventually turned to her parents' family... "

"Even though this is the case, Mrs. Ji also feels that whether a woman who marries outside her home is a waste of water, she cannot be trusted!" "

"In order to avoid a similar situation, they took the lead in not allowing the harem to interfere in politics. Not only did they gain a reputation as a virtuous man, but they also prevented their daughter from turning her elbows outward and helping the Gongxiang family to deceive them!"

Yun Fenghuang thought that it was like this. It was strange that Queen Dao Ji was full of thoughts of repaying the family, but was not trusted by the family... As for the Ji family, she was a bit incapacitated due to choking. The Empress Dowager was Xiaozong's biological mother, and her natal family was not as close as her own son. It turned out that It's not human nature. But neither the Empress Dowager nor Empress Ji had sons.

Yun Fenghuang is not sure about the relationship between the Empress Dowager and Emperor Xiaozong, but the relationship between Empress Ji and Emperor Chunjia...

Anyway, Yun Fenghuang didn't think the queen valued the emperor more than the family.

She was thinking and listened to Yuan Yuniang continue to say, "Maybe the Empress Dowager and Empress Ji are not willing to be lonely. After taking care of the palace, are they always trying to correct the affairs of the previous dynasty and give instructions... The Gonghai West Marquis of Ye State, Minyang Marquis, and others , I was so fed up with this that I even went to the palace banquet the year before last and publicly remonstrated with the Empress Dowager to restrain my daughter-in-law and granddaughter-in-law to abide by their duties... So... "

"So why are those two people spying on and suspicious of Bhidong now?" Yun Fenghuang interrupted lazily. In fact, she really wanted to hear some more news, but if she couldn't, she would let Yuan Yuniang go to the East again, and her confidence gradually increased. , the effect of the previous pretense of alarmism has been greatly reduced.

When counselors and lobbyists in the Middle Ages and Eastern Ancient Dynasties wanted to persuade someone, they always liked to start with threats, which is not unreasonable.

Yun Fenghuang must ask Yuan Yuniang to maintain her fear and awe, so that every word of hers can leave a clear impression in her mind and maintain her authority. At that time, he deliberately sneered and said, "Do those two Ru Ming's status and power depend on the Ji family? Ji family really wants to control them, but is so good at it?"

"So what?"

"We have warned you repeatedly, and even made low-level suggestions about not allowing the harem to interfere in politics. Are these two still working tirelessly to win over women?"

"I beg you, if you really believe what the whole family is doing, then he has nothing to say... It shows that the lineage of the Fuyang King does not have the blessing of ruling over Tiandong and Yujiyuwai!"

Yuan Niang's face was very ugly: "Okay, even if Ji believed those two people's words, Bidong had already become suspicious, so why did his father have to die?!"

"Bidong wants to do something at that time. Who else can he call upon besides your father and Duke Yi?" Yun Fenghuang sneered, "The matter is big, so I can give it up with just a soft show of persuasion." Bidong is suspicious! How can I explain this unless a person of sufficient importance dies? If your father is not dead, do you expect Duke Yiguo to step forward and put an end to him? He said something unpleasant, not to mention whether Yun Zhao could do that, even if he really had that loyalty. Even if I have a lot of ambition in my heart, I must stop him! "

"After all, Duke Yi's fault lies in Bidong's pursuit of values, which is not comparable to our Yuan family in Fuyang!"

"But that's not his father!" Yuan Kuiniang said angrily, "Do I want him to commit patricide?! Am I not a human being!?"

Yun Fenghuang said: "Then who calls them too stupid? As the saying goes, if a king doesn't keep secrets, he will lose his ministers, and if ministers don't keep secrets, he will lose his identity. He, a woman who grew up in a boudoir, knows such a simple truth, but none of them among many Anyone with a brain should suffer such a calamity!"

He added, "And what kind of patricide is that? Things have come to that point. I thought that even if I disagreed, my father would be able to live? Let me think about it for myself, what would I do if I rejected Ji's family? What will Bidong do? No, the heir in the imperial concubine's belly has not yet been born, so the adoption should be planned in advance to avoid being passive, so it is not easy to make mistakes for the time being. As for the Yiguo Duke's Palace, the Ji family doesn't think so! But their Yun family He has a high position and a lot of military power, but he can't move it at any time."

"Then the most suitable person is to kill the chicken to scare the monkeys and destroy Bidong's plan. Who is it?"

Of course not Xing Ningbo's lineage!

Yuan Niang's lips twitched and she answered silently in her heart.

Xing Ning Bo denied the title of her father Yuan Qihuai.

Because she was not the official palace of Emperor Chunjia, and the imperial court did not have the practice of conferring titles on the fathers of concubines, Yuan Qihuai did not follow the same path as Empress Dowager Yuan, and was conferred as the emperor's uncle. Originally, the imperial court generally conferred a title on the emperor's uncle as a marquis, but before pressure from all parties, he was granted the title of earl... Not to mention the specific official position, it was a dispensable Qingshui Yamen.

It is said that he has the power to discuss affairs in the court, but in fact, in the east of the strong Ji family, the Hussar General and the regent's palace Yongting look at each other with covetous eyes, and Qingliu Ye's head Dong Wuchen has never played with his relatives... In short, Xingning As a direct descendant of the emperor, Bo basically has the role of nodding after Yi Guogong.

So when other forces want to give it to Duke Yi, no, should I say to the emperor, they choose Yuan's east leg as the most cost-effective one.

He has a shallow foundation in the court, is a thief, and is not known to have a close relationship with the emperor, which is enough to slap him in the face and deter him.

The most important thing to ask for is the relationship between the Yuan family and the Duke of Yi State. Due to the grievances between Yuan Niang and Concubine Shu, although they will not become enemies, I hope that the Duke of Yi will protect the Yuan family at that critical moment... Yuan Niang will be there again. Even the naive would not believe it.

In fact, in the Yun family, it would be considered kind to not fall into the trap of Dongshi.

She felt that her eyes were going dark, and she pinched her palms hard. When she spoke again, she was already a little angry: "I... I must have something wrong with my fault?!"

It was rare for her to make the other women of Emperor Chunjia say complimentary words, "I am so smart and powerful, and I have done so many things just a few days after entering the palace. I must have a way to protect Dong Dong from his father's fault?! I beg no If you do it, he will listen to me no matter what I say from now on!"

"Do I think he is a god?" However, Yun Fenghuang refused, "Is it a matter of time that your father dies? No, it should be said that it happened in those few days. How could the Ji family leave because of the undercurrent in the harem two months ago? The Prince Regent and the General Hussars are both easy to mess with. The Ji family must free up enough people and energy to deal with them... So they will definitely cut through the chaos in the rear! Your father will not live long to begin with. What he told me, he asked me to think carefully about how to take advantage of that matter!"

Mother Yuan's mouth was dry, and she leaned forward to pull her sleeves: "Even if Mr. Ji wants to kill the chicken to scare the monkeys, it doesn't necessarily mean that he is disapproving of his father... He means that there are other people in the Yuan family, so why must he disapprove of his father?!"

"Because your Majesty Xing Bo is the head of the Yuan family." Yun Fenghuang said with a smile, "Once he dies, my brothers must carry the coffin and return home, resigning Ding You! And the other members of the Yuan family also regard their relationship with your Majesty as Far and near, there are a series of things about attending funerals and observing filial piety. Originally, our Yuan family did not have a deep foundation in the court, so after all the troubles, the temple almost no longer has the Yuan family... I beg you to die, and the rest of our Yuan family , where does that effect come from?”

"Then what hope does Bidong have in the future?! Originally, there were not many useful people in Bidong's legs. Please tell me if even his family collapsed, wouldn't it mean that the Duke of Yi Kingdom would be left alone and unable to support himself?!" Yuan Niang's expression suddenly changed, she lowered her voice and said sternly, "Does he think I really wish that the emperor would never be able to succeed!"

That's so wrong!

Did he think so

Yun Fenghuang silently agreed with her in his heart, but he would definitely not admit it or not: "If he wishes that Bidong would never be successful, why would he waste so much nonsense with me?!"

Before Yuan Fu Niang could criticize her again, she added, "And even if the Yuan family is intact, what's the use? Is it useful to beg for help? His Majesty is so good that he can't even rule by himself? He begged me to take advantage of that opportunity to win over other people. Allies, it can be considered that your father's death was not unjust... It's like your father and the others also feel that I can die, but it is worthless if I can't die, don't you?!"

The last sentence made Yuan Yuniang silent for a long time, and finally she said: "I am... really crazy! He doesn't want to listen to me."

"Then it's up to Jieyu." Yun Fenghuang said nonchalantly, "The coming months are long, and he doesn't think he can rely on me to seek help from Duke Yi Guo. With my sudden behavior, he even I kind of regret looking for me."

Then he returned to the topic, "Since the Queen has said that I have to copy the book, I can't help but ask for a few copies, otherwise he won't be able to pay the job, and it will be difficult for me to be polite when he makes a mistake. Everyone is not a concubine, Don’t make it difficult for him, okay?”

"..." Yuan Yuniang didn't argue with her that time, but silently walked to the desk where the four treasures of the study were placed, laid out paper and studied ink, flipped through a scripture and copied it. After copying a few words, she felt uneasy and stopped suddenly. He stopped and didn't look back. He just looked at the scattered handwriting in front of him and asked in a low voice, "What kind of allies do I think we can attract at that time?"

Yun Fenghuang said a name with a smile, which made Yuan Mei's legs shake, almost knocking over the inkstone. She casually threw the purple hair on the rice paper, raised her sleeves to cover her lips, and said in disbelief: "Why is it cocoa!?"
