"This is only temporary." Chun Jia said warmly, "You should know that this situation cannot last forever. Maybe it won't take long..."
"Maybe it won't be long before I die?" Yun Fenghuang interrupted, "The person who poisoned me still doesn't know who he is, right?"
Chunjia was a little speechless.
Yun Fenghuang lowered his eyes, fiddled with the accessories on his waist with his fingers, and said in a cold tone: "I don't want to tell you this anymore, otherwise it will appear that I am just like Yuan Yuniang, and I will only lose my temper with you when something happens!"
After exhaling, she raised her head and said, "Since the two empress dowagers are making trouble today, you must also go to Chunhuang Palace? You can also go to the other people's place in the evening. I want to be alone for a while."
"..." Chunjia was silent for a while and said, "Okay."
After the holy driver left, Yun Fenghuang asked Chen Zhu to roll over: "What happened to the maid in front of the Cai family and Princess Minghui?! Why didn't you mention a word when you came to help her to beg me?!"
When Chen Zhu heard what happened at the court meeting early in the morning, he was frightened. Now he knelt in front of her and couldn't help but burst into tears: "You deserve to die! When I came to beg your empress for her, how could she have such a relationship? But she didn't want to rely on her." The empress rewarded me with a life for surviving, but instead of wanting to repay, I framed the empress by cheating on me! Fortunately, the empress is smart and smart, and the good people have their own destiny, otherwise I can't atone for my sin even if I work as a cow and horse for the rest of my life!"
Yun Fenghuang's face was gloomy: "Trash! This is someone you know. He has tricked me in private, but you don't know anything! Then what use does I have for you as a slave!"
"Please forgive me!" Chen Zhu choked and crawled to the ground, reaching for the hem of her skirt, swearing that this was just an exception and there would never be a next time.
Qingdu Qingren looked hesitant and wanted to help but didn't dare. In the end, Hongcai took advantage of his young age and was usually more tolerant to Yun Fenghuang and mustered up the courage to say a few words, saying that Chen Zhu was responsible for this matter. , if you let Chen Zhu go through the knot, it would be too cheap for Chen Zhu.
... Mainly, Xuanqing Palace cannot find a second person to temporarily replace Chen Zhu.
If he really killed him with a stick in anger, Yun Fenghuang might not know anything about it after leaving Huanhua Hall in a short period of time.
This is your own responsibility.
Yun Fenghuang had a sullen face and looked at Chen Zhu who was kneeling in front of her and crying and begging for mercy. She was promoted too quickly and had no time to slowly cultivate and win over her confidants. She was also worried about the elder palace people, fearing that they would be too slippery. Not too loyal, or simply someone else's spy. Therefore, among the earliest servants to serve him, Chen Zhu, who was relatively smart and young, was chosen as the general manager of Xuanqing Palace.
Since Chen Zhu was young and inexperienced, she was afraid that he would not be able to suppress his subordinates and that his unstable status would affect her ability to do things for her. She usually treated Chen Zhu with extra praise... In this way, Chen Zhu was quite successful and quickly stood up. But there is also one shortcoming, that is, among the waiters in Xuanqing Palace, there may be some minor disputes among the maids, but the chamberlain is undoubtedly headed by Chen Zhu.
The eunuchs below cannot compete with him.
In this way, there will be a next time if not this time. Chen Zhu will slack off sooner or later.
In other words, the Cai family's matter was something that she couldn't hide. Didn't Chen Zhu make other omissions that she didn't know about
She should have promoted another chambermaid long ago, the one who opposed Chen Zhu. Wouldn't it be more motivation for two servants to compete with each other
Moreover, if they had tried to undermine each other, Cai's movements would have been discovered and reported to her long ago.
Yun Fenghuang thought to himself and slowly said, "Chen Jing."
Chen Zhu, who was still crying to apologize, trembled when he heard this.
He wanted to look at the main seat pleadingly, but he didn't dare. He could only continue lying on the ground, sobbing and pleading.
The person who was summoned was a young eunuch who was about the same age as Chen Zhu. He suppressed his expression of ecstasy and humbly knelt down on the autumn-scented gauze: "My servant is here."
"From now on, you will be the general manager of my Huaqing Palace." Yun Fenghuang announced with an expressionless face, "Chen Zhu acted poorly and put this palace in danger. He should have been severely punished! However, he was the first to serve One of the old men in this palace, and he has always been quite diligent..."
She thought about it for a moment and said, "I'll punish him with a cane of forty, confiscate half a year's salary, remove the position of general manager, demote him to deputy general manager, and serve as Chen Jing's deputy to see the consequences!"
The forty-tinged staff can actually kill someone, but since Yun Fenghuang said that he would also be the deputy general manager, the executioner naturally knew in his heart that he would not kill someone.
Of course, Chen Zhu would have to lie on the bed for at least ten days and a half.
Even so, Chen Zhu was relieved. Xuanqing Palace did not have a deputy general manager. Of course, Yun Fenghuang said so, and there will be one in the future... After all, he was not fucked to the end, which shows that he still has hope in the future.
As for the master he was serving, it was not impossible for him to send a roll of straw mats to a mass grave in a rage, but this time he was merciful.
He kowtowed gratefully and unwillingly to thank him. Before retreating to receive the punishment, he quickly glanced at Chen Jing.
This former subordinate was standing in his usual seat, smiling flatteringly and squeezing Yun Fenghuang's shoulders, with pride in his eyes and brows.
Yun Fenghuang closed his eyes, enjoying the hospitality of the people below him, and thinking about what to do next.
She believed in Chunjia's ability. It was okay to be unprepared before. Now that the delaying strategy was successful, the next headache would be the regent and the others.
But she can't count on Chunjia for everything.
Ms. Cai must die. In the two years since she entered the palace, she had rarely done anything good. Although it was a casual job and she had the idea of retaining it in the future, she actually saved Ms. Cai's life.
As a result, not only did this wretched maid fail to repay her properly, but she even cheated on her with Minghui... This kind of white-eyed wolf who repays kindness with revenge must not only die, but also die tragically to serve as a warning to others!
It's just that Mrs. Cai cannot die for the time being, otherwise wouldn't it be more solidified for Princess Minghui's frame-up
Oh, by the way, there is also the eldest princess, who was not so annoying when Ji Sheng was still here. It seems that this daughter cannot leave her mother, so she must be arranged to reunite with Ji Sheng as soon as possible.
And the regent...
And Lu Chuncao...
When I think of Lu Chuncao, I think of Lu Qidao...
I also thought about the faces of those old guys in the temple...
Think about it again, there is simply no good thing in this world! ! !
Yun Fenghuang slammed the table angrily, and he was so frightened that he and the newly appointed chief manager Chen Jing knelt down to apologize.
"Your Majesty, are you worried about today's court meeting?" She breathed out slowly, realizing that her mood was too unstable. She was about to slow down her tone and let them get up. Who knew, Chen Jing hesitated for a moment, but came from behind her? He came out on his knees and whispered, "I would like to share your worries with you."
"What worries can you share for me?" Yun Fenghuang laughed a little when she heard this. She understood that it was when Chen Jingcha was showing off his favor to the best of his ability. Normally, he wouldn't mind helping to establish his prestige. But at this moment, he waved his hands in disinterest, "That's it, you all go down, I will be alone for a while."
Qingdu and others quickly agreed and filed away.
Chen Jing was still kneeling on the ground.
Yun Fenghuang became a little impatient and raised his eyes to look at him: "What?"
"Your Majesty, please forgive me for being bold. Now you have two children, a noble status, and the emperor's favor. In this harem, it can be said that you have peace of mind!" Chen Jing kowtowed and said seriously, "Everyone who worries about you is here. Previous Dynasty!”
"Huh?" Yun Fenghuang squinted his eyes, became a little interested, propped up his chin with one hand, and said, "As for the worries in the past, do you have any solution?"
Chen Jing smiled lowly, showing a hint of sinisterness. He moved his knees forward a little, gently grabbed the hem of her skirt, and said in a low voice: "We are fighting over each other in the meeting today, but in the final analysis, we still haven't made it clear. Who is the real culprit who murdered your empress!"
Yun Fenghuang said lightly: "Why didn't you make it clear? Didn't Princess Minghui already recognize that she was her? She is a majestic woman with the flesh and blood of the late emperor. What can I do to her? Not only can I not do anything to her, but I almost gave her She died to apologize!"
"Your Majesty, the former queen has not been in good health in the past two years. That's why she started to help the former queen run the Sixth Palace not long after she was granted the title of concubine. In terms of the rigorous management of the palace in this palace, who can compare with the queen?" Chen Jing smiled. He smiled and said meaningfully, "Even the empress is being murdered in her own palace and barely surviving, let alone others?"
"..." Yun Fenghuang's eyes lit up, and his originally slouchy sitting posture straightened up a little. He smiled slightly and said, "Continue talking."
Chen Jing also smiled: "Your Highness, Your Majesty, didn't you single-mindedly blame yourself for murdering the imperial concubine, and didn't even ask for your kindness to excuse her? In this case, let's help her. In this palace, even the imperial concubine is not even allowed to do so. They can all be tricked, let alone others? Many of these people have been tricked, but they don’t know, can our golden eldest princess, the princess, still be able to bear it? "
"I'm afraid it's too obvious." Yun Fenghuang was already moved, but he still said, "I'm afraid I won't be able to convince the civil and military officials of the court."
Chen Jing chuckled: "You just have to convince the ladies of the Sixth Palace. I dare to tell you the truth: Madam, what is your status and status in the palace? But the eldest princess is using the late emperor's legacy indiscriminately, and even you are in a hurry to deal with it. Or is it because His Majesty secretly feels sorry for you? If you were to be replaced by any other empress today, even if it were His Majesty’s successor in the future, do you think there would be a way to survive?"
"Originally, the eldest princess and the empresses in the palace are not in conflict with each other."
"But she has made this move now. If the ladies ignore it, then if Her Royal Highness the Princess doesn't like anyone, she will lie down for a few days and say that she was murdered, and then she will murder the ladies she doesn't like... Who can bear it?"
"The most important thing is that the eldest princess's marriage had troubles earlier, and there is still no candidate for the consort. In addition, Ji Sheng, a commoner, went there. If she has to observe filial piety for three years and then decline, in these three years, the Sixth Palace will I'm just afraid that she has to be enshrined as an ancestor. Even this may not stop her from looking for trouble, don't you think so?"
More than that, the key point is that the eldest princess Minghui has obviously sided with the regent and the empress dowager. Since she is the enemy of Chunjia, how can she look at Chunjia's concubine in a good mood
And even if Chunjia's concubine is willing to put down her status and be a lowly person, she can't do this to Minghui. What should she do if she is rejected by Chunjia
Of those whom the emperor was forced to marry during his wedding, who is living comfortably now
Yun Fenghuang had more to think about. During these days, due to the selection of successors, the former harem regarded her as a thorn in their side. They all felt that with her in her presence, both the new and the old would not be able to stabilize their status as queens.
There will even be twists and turns in the East Palace in the future.
It's good now. If it works properly, it's hard to say in the past, but the concubines in the harem can be hated by another person.
As a beloved concubine, she could only put pressure on others, and not every enemy she faced was killed. For example, people like Gu Zhen, Cui Lianye, and Jia Pingye were all still alive and well, weren't they
Even Yuan Yuniang and Lu Qidao are not dead yet.
But what about Princess Minghui
As soon as he takes action, he is obviously framed and framed to drive the person into ruin.
With the support of the late emperor's legacy, Yun Fenghuang, an emperor's favored person, could barely escape through death, and there would be more trouble to come.
Let alone others
When the time comes, it's okay if the eldest princess doesn't call her by name, but whoever is called will die... Which concubine can tolerate such a sister-in-law
Especially Ouyang Fulu and those from good family backgrounds, because they have helped Chunjia, they may be cleared out by Minghui one day.
Yun Fenghuang quickly sorted out his thoughts, and then looked at Chen Jing with clear appreciation in his eyes: "It seems that I have wronged you before. With your talents, you should have been promoted long ago!"
"Being able to serve your Majesty is a blessing that I have accumulated for eighteen generations. How can I feel wronged?" Chen Jing said quickly, "Besides, without the pain and suffering of serving your Majesty these days, I cannot help you with your worries."
This slave is much cuter than Chen Zhu, witty and sweet-tongued. There must be something sweet within ten steps!
Yun Fenghuang was very satisfied, stretched out his hand to touch his face, and said softly: "It's easy to do your job, and I will never treat people who have meritorious service badly!"
... Chunjia came out of Chunhui Palace in the evening. It was raining lightly in the dusk. A small piece of purple bamboo was planted in front of Chunhui Palace. There was a slight rustling sound at the moment. It was noisy in the vague night and became more and more peaceful.
He stood on the white marble steps and stared at the rain curtain for a moment, then climbed onto the chariot.
Yan Yin asked cautiously: "Your Majesty, where are we going?"
"..." Chunjia was silent for a while. The people carrying the imperial chariot felt a little tired, and then they heard him say slowly, "It's better... let's go to Huanhua Hall."
Although Concubine Xian told him to go elsewhere and she wanted to be alone, he also knew that she was angry now and was afraid that she would not be able to listen to any persuasion or comfort, but she still felt uneasy.
If Concubine Xian is still angry after leaving, just call any concubine from Huanqing Palace to serve her.
Chunjia sighed in her heart, didn't Concubine Xian want a prince in her name
Maybe she would be happier after doing this.
It's just that he doesn't like it.
Over the years, there were too many things he had to do and say that he didn't like but had to say, and he was used to them.
