Treacherous Living in the Imperial Harem

Chapter 52: Change residence

Views:

"How is it impossible?" Half a day later, when he returned to Xi Xingxuan, Yun Fenghuang said lazily while drinking the tea he had returned from Ningbi Palace, "Mr. Lingshan was greatly favored by the late Emperor, but when the late Emperor needed him most When the time came, he fled to Sangzi... Even under the banner of Ding You, who among the discerning people in the world still doesn't know what's going on? Although His Majesty is not the late emperor's biological son, but the heir treats him as his own son and accepts him regardless of previous grudges. He still has What is there to say?”

Xile said: "My lord, please forgive my servant's ignorance. It's just that even if the regent is not covering the sky with one hand, it is still better than the situation your majesty is in right now. I really can't imagine that since Mr. Lingshan has chosen the regent's house, what a good job." Why should I accept His Majesty’s solicitation?”

After all, there are many people in this world who are completely shameless in the face of interests, but for Wei Changkong, who has taken the route from a rural prodigy to a domestic celebrity, maintaining a clean and noble reputation is a basic operation. Once the persona collapses, there is basically no chance. played. At least he went back to his hometown to avoid trouble back then, in the name of being filial to his mother, to mediate the conflict between the uncle and nephew of the royal family... If word of this got out, how would he be able to get around in the future

The key is that Emperor Chunjia is now unable to protect himself. What qualifications does he have to impress the former Wei Liushou

"Recruiting?" Yun Fenghuang shook his head and said, "Why should you be so polite to such a loyal and treacherous villain? If he doesn't obey... Now, Uncle Xing Ning will be a role model!"

Xile was startled, and subconsciously lowered her voice, whispering: "Yue Jieyu is really willing to attack Uncle Xingning?"

"Where did she get this ability!" Yun Fenghuang sneered and said, "As far as Mr. Lingshan's reputation among scholars, do you think that people like Gonghai Xihou Minyanghou of Ye State, General Hussar and Cui Shangshu, Are you going to sit back and watch the opening ceremony of the Prince Regent's Mansion proceed smoothly and smoothly? Just watch, Mr. Lingshan will definitely criticize you in a few days, and then... Hehe!"

"Cui Shangshu will also end up?" Xile asked curiously, "Why?"

Cui Wan's attitude in the court was similar to that of Concubine Xin in the palace. She was not afraid of trouble, but she would never cause trouble easily. Why would she want to wade into the troubled waters of the Prince Regent's Palace

Yun Fenghuang looked at her with an expression that looked like a fool: "Although Cui Wan is from a scholarly family, how many six poems have been published by scholars in the past and present? If Mr. Lingshan entered the temple with the help of the regent, he is now the leader of Qingliu Can you still sit firmly in your seat?"

Xile was startled, and quickly said that the noble man is smart and his maidservant cannot be prepared for the unexpected. Finally, he hesitated and said: "But if so many people take action, can the Regent's Palace still save Mr. Lingshan?"

Yun Fenghuang chuckled and said, "You want to ask if this is really the case, even if Yue Jieyu recruits Mr. Lingshan in His Majesty's name, can she still keep him?"

Seeing Xile nodding sheepishly, she sighed, "Are you stupid? Our purpose is not really to help His Majesty govern the country! We want to share the worries of the Queen! So as long as Yue Jieyu can act on His Majesty's behalf to recruit Ling Shan Mr. Lingshan’s actions and what happens next are all arranged by the Queen... As for what will happen to Mr. Lingshan, what does it have to do with us!"

"...My maid is confused."

If those two people knew about it, they wouldn't be as easy to coax as Yuan Niang.

Yun Fenghuang smiled without meaning: "Didn't I promise that I would help her?"

At this time, the chamberlain came in to report, saying that he had received another batch of gifts from the concubines, and of course there were a few densely written colorful papers... Well, Yun Fenghuang had previously discovered that several concubines had not sent colorful papers, and they also I thought that they were either out of sympathy or felt that Yuan Yuniang would not have an easy time, but they did not intend to add insult to injury.

As a result, now I see that she was wrong. These people hate Yuan Yuniang deeply, and they are afraid that they are not fully prepared and will not be able to vent their anger!

"Your Excellency, we only have this small space in Xi Xingxuan. There are so many things at the moment that they can no longer be piled up." Yun Fenghuang was thinking about how to satisfy these requests when Xijing came in with a box from outside. , said, "You see, these are fine bird's nests. They need to be stored in a dark and ventilated room. But we only have one room like this, and it's already full."

He suggested to her, "Why don't you, noble man, change your residence? The side halls on the left and right of Huzhu Palace are now empty. With your position, you can live there."

Yun Fenghuang said: "That's true... What should we do about this matter? Are we going to report it to the Queen?"

Xile said: "There is no need to go to such trouble. As long as the chief agrees, we can pack it up first and report it later tomorrow when we go to pay our respects."

So the master and servant began to discuss where to move

The side halls of Huzhu Palace are mostly close to Ningbi Hall. According to Xijing's idea, it is of course a matter of moving whichever of the recent ones is gorgeous and spacious. After all, judging from the current relationship between Yun Fenghuang and the main throne, We may exchange places one day, and it will be convenient to move to Ningbi Palace then!

"What are you doing so close?" However, Yun Fenghuang chuckled and said, "Is it convenient for Your Majesty to come see me? I think it is better to choose something farther away. This Zibei Palace is good."

Xijing Xile was startled, then realized it, covered his mouth and said with a smile: "That's what the noble man said."

Emperor Chunjia had previously used the excuse to visit Yun Fenghuang and secretly meet Yuan Niang in private. Of course, Yanfu Palace would not be unaware of this matter. It's just that although Empress Ji was keen on suppressing Yuan Niang, she actually had no feelings about the emperor's preference for Qingmei, and she was too lazy to make a fuss over such a small matter.

But Yun Fenghuang noticed this and took the initiative to cause trouble for the childhood sweethearts. Of course, the queen and the people in the queen's palace would be happy to see what happened.

Xijing immediately volunteered to go to Ningbi Hall to ask for instructions.

Yuan Yuniang is in a state of panic right now, so how can she think about what to do here

Even knowing that Yun Fenghuang chose the Queen of Zibei Palace, they were secretly relieved. They were really afraid that this master would be chosen by Ningbi Palace and cause trouble when the time came.

"It can be seen that this little Yun family is actually quite wary. She doesn't even dare to live near us." Aunt Zhu comforted Yuan Niang, "Mom, please bear with me for now. After a few days, when this matter is over, we can discuss how to get things back together." !”

Yuan Yuniang had a sullen face and did not answer the question. She only said sadly: "Aunt Zhu, I'm a little tired."

"Then the empress should go and have some rest." Aunt Zhu thought she was still under the shock. After all, she was promoted to concubine only because of the miscarriage compensation, but now she was demoted to Jieyu in one fell swoop, almost even living in the main palace. No, given Yuan Niang's temper, it was understandable that she could not cheer up for a moment, so she slowed down her tone and said softly, "My maid will read your handwriting, and I will help you copy it for a while."

Normally, Yuan Yuniang would never pay attention to such details. If she did, she would just be glad that she could be lazy.

But now I couldn't help but think of Yun Fenghuang's words, and an unexpected thought came to my mind: With someone like Aunt Zhu who could imitate her own handwriting so that it looked almost real, she would suddenly die suddenly one day. , if there is another suicide note, will Ji Lang be suspicious

Probably not.

After all, she has become increasingly irritable and unreasonable in recent years. Anyone with a discerning eye knows that she can no longer stand such a life...

In fact, sometimes she did think about it, why don't she stop suffering anymore and just die and be done with it...

It's just that they are afraid that Ji Lang will be sad, but they are unwilling to give in. These cheap maids in the palace have been jealous of Ji Lang's preference for her for more than a day or two. If she dies, they will be very happy, right

Thinking about it like this, she felt that not only could she not die, but she must also live for a long time and outlive all the lowly slaves!

But she has always been uncertain about her thoughts and actions. One impulse is to think this way, the other impulse is to think that way... Yuan Yuniang entered the bedroom in a trance, thinking sadly, she didn't know how Ji Lang could tolerate her for so many years

Has he ever regretted it even for a moment? Bored

Yuan Yuniang didn't dare to think about it deeply. After all, Emperor Chunjia's feelings for her were the only pillar for her to persevere in this palace...

Pulling the quilt over her head, she forced herself to sleep.

The Ningbi Palace was very peaceful that night. After all, Yun Fenghuang was busy preparing to move and had no time to cause trouble.

Although Huzhu Palace is quite remote in the palace city, it is the residence of the concubine favored by Emperor Chunjia after all. There is also a loving mother, the Empress Dowager, watching from above. No matter how difficult Yuan Yuniang's situation is, the concubine should be treated as she should. She was not treated badly. Therefore, various palaces are repaired every year. The Zibei Palace basically has no place that needs special cleaning for people to live in... But for the sake of safety, Yun Fenghuang decided to clean it first, and then burn some braziers and medicine pots to drive away the fire. The cold air and snakes and insects that have been uninhabited for many years should be moved there after two days.

When paying her respects the next morning, she told the stewardess of Yanfu Palace about the matter and asked her to report it to Queen Ji.

But the palace maid directly told her that there was no problem, and also said: "Do you want to replenish the manpower? The Queen has explained this matter two days ago, but the noble didn't say that she wanted to change places before, because she was afraid that Xi Xingxuan would not have room after the replenishment. Live. Besides, I don’t know what the noble man likes?"

Yun Fenghuang said: "Auntie the chambermaid, just watch. As long as you are smart and can do things, it will be fine. After all, I have just entered the palace, and I don't understand many things. I really need the guidance of the people below. As for the palace maid, I was living in exile before. I met Xiao Penglai... I was also grateful to her for taking care of me."

"Your Majesty, are you talking about Liuhong?" The palace maid said with a smile, "Although she doesn't like to talk much, she is very diligent in her work. Since your Majesty likes her, my maid will make arrangements for you later."

Yun Fenghuang smiled and thanked him, and then returned to his seat.

As soon as he sat down, he noticed that Wei Hengyan, who was above him, couldn't help but glance at him.

"What's wrong?" Yun Fenghuang raised his eyebrows, "Did you have a nightmare again yesterday?"

Wei Hengyan rolled her eyes angrily: "You're the one who had the nightmare!"

Then he bit his lip again, leaned slightly closer, and whispered, "Hey, do you know what's going on?"

"What's going on?" Yun Fenghuang was confused.

Wei Hengyan said angrily: "Why are you pretending to be stupid... Your Majesty rested in the small building in Tongxia Palace last night!"

"What does your Majesty's resting place have to do with me?" Yun Fenghuang was waiting for a casual answer. When he thought about it, he understood and couldn't help but chuckle: "Do you really think that I can make this decision for Your Majesty? Your Majesty won't go to your place. , How do I know why?”

Seeing that she had a worried look on her face, he said in a nonchalant way, "Besides, it has only been a few days since I entered the palace. Maybe Your Majesty will go to your place tonight? You think that His Majesty went to my place to please Jieyu, and to give Ji Zhaoyuan face when he went to Surong Palace." , of course I went to Tongxia Palace for the beauty of Concubine Shu’s face... You don’t have a throne in the palace, how can you compare with others who have a throne to support you?”

Wei Hengyan thought about it, his face softened slightly, and he said: "Then I will..."

As a result, in the middle of the conversation, a serious-looking palace official came in and informed them in a sharp voice that the Queen Mother, the Queen Mother, was a little ill. Today's greetings were cancelled. The Queen was worried and had to attend to the illness, and let them go to their respective places. Palace, greetings for the next three days are waived.
