Although Yun Fenghuang was full of doubts, he decided to have a straight-to-the-point talk with Chunjia tomorrow, and at least he was able to keep his composure.
In contrast, the sixth house is very unstable.
Concubine Rui, Concubine Xie, Mrs. Manya, Yin Zhaoyi, and Xuan Jieyu either entered the palace relatively late and had never seen Yuan Yuan showing off her power and doted on the special room, or they were protected by Yun Fenghuang and had never eaten Chunke. Let’s just repay Madam’s loss.
Concubine Rui was ordered by her grandfather to move closer to Concubine Xian, so she sent someone over before dinner to implicitly express her support and consultation. After receiving Yun Fenghuang's words, "I know what I know, I will hold my ground for the time being," and she respectfully resigned.
Others, especially Gu Zhen, Cui Lianye, and Jia Pingye, who had actually witnessed Yuan Yuniang's creation of heaven and earth, were not satisfied with the fact that Chunjia went to Ningbi Hall again to spend the night, and even went there the next day. What a shock!
Gu Zhen no longer cared about Fan Yun Fenghuang, and even rushed over to her in person to ask: "What's going on? Why did your Majesty go to Ningbi Palace?"
"Mrs. Chunke is also someone who serves His Majesty, she is even an old man." Yun Fenghuang pretended to be confused, "Can't Your Majesty go to her place? Speaking of which, among us, she is the one who has been with His Majesty the longest. In the past two years. She hasn't seen His Majesty for a long time, it's pitiful to think about it. It's only the second day, why are you in such a hurry?"
"...You've never seen how hard that cheap maid can trample people when she's in power!" Gu Zhen frowned and said something, then he felt something was wrong. When this woman entered the palace, Yuan Ji Niang still doted on her. This woman stepped on Yuan Ji Niang to become famous. Yes, she twitched the corner of her mouth and said, "I am not the empress, but I don't have the ability and momentum of the empress to suppress the master who starts to cause trouble."
Yun Fenghuang asked with interest: "According to you, if Yuan Niang is favored, it will trouble you more than if I am favored?"
Gu Zhen pursed his lips and said, "Your Majesty is different from that cheap maid."
"What's the difference?" Yun Fenghuang said with a smile, "Could it be that I am extra tolerant and generous?"
So you said before that you don’t trust me
See, trust comes from comparison. Compared with Yuan Niang, I am simply too reliable!
"The empress is joking." Gu Zhen snorted, "That bitch wants your Majesty's people, so she can't stand any of His Majesty's concubines, and she can't stand them all the time, and she always looks for trouble. . If it’s just her, it’s nothing. But if His Majesty is partial to her, what can I do to these people? I can only suffer. But as long as I am His Majesty’s people, she will not be able to rest. What do you think? After a long time, who can bear it?”
"My dear, what you want is the status in His Majesty's mind and the actual status and power."
"So as long as they don't block your way and don't cause trouble for you, you don't want to bother with them."
"Even if someone is willing to serve you in front of and behind the scenes, such as the Imperial Concubine, you will take good care of her..."
"You have misunderstood me." Yun Fenghuang sighed and interrupted her, "Your Majesty is young, powerful, wise and mighty. If possible, who wouldn't want your Majesty's people? It doesn't matter whether it's on a first-come, first-served basis, or in terms of status and origin. If I can't be ranked first, what qualifications do you have to monopolize Your Majesty? Therefore, as long as you don't compete with me for favor, I don't want to give you a way to survive... After all, you are all serving His Majesty, right? As for status and power, haha , if I am not a virtuous concubine, if I cannot take care of the palace to relieve His Majesty, why should Your Majesty care about me? In the final analysis, I, like Yuan Yuniang, both want to be the only one in His Majesty's eyes. It's just Yuan Yuniang. Stupid, choosing to offend the Sixth Palace is also a way to cause trouble for His Majesty."
"I will learn from this lesson and try my best to live in harmony with the Sixth Palace so that Your Majesty won't have to worry about it."
This Gu Zhen really can't speak... Even if you really think that, don't say it!
Turn around and tell Chunjia what to do if he hears it! ! !
Fortunately, I said it in front of me, and I denied it quickly!
"What the Empress said is true." Gu Zhen frowned and reluctantly agreed with her opinion, and then said, "In short, Mrs. Chunke's return to favor is not a blessing to the Sixth Palace, and it is even more detrimental to His Majesty. What do you think?"
"But His Majesty is willing to go to Ningbi Hall, so I can't stop him." Yun Fenghuang said, "That's all, tomorrow, I'll go to Taichu Palace and talk to Your Majesty. If His Majesty doesn't listen, I'll also There’s nothing we can do.”
Gu Zhen breathed a sigh of relief. If Concubine Xian couldn't stop Chunjia, then the rest of the palace would be even more helpless.
After she resigned and left, Qingdu came in to serve and told Yun Fenghuang: "Didn't Her Royal Highness Princess Yun'an come into the palace today to pay her respects to the Empress Dowager, and then went to Yaoyu Palace to see Her Royal Highness Princess Minghui? She just came from When I came out of the Yaoyu Palace, I saw that it was getting late, so I was afraid of disturbing you, so I went back first, but asked the concubine in front of me to come to our door to say something."
Princess Yun'an also brought some gadgets to the eldest prince and Princess Zhaoqing, and asked the palace attendant to send them over as well.
Yun Fenghuang said: "We have prepared something for her here. I'll send it to the eldest princess' mansion tomorrow."
Then he asked, "Did Her Royal Highness Princess Yun'an talk to Her Royal Highness Princess Minghui for a while? Do you know what they said?"
"The visitor said that after the two highnesses met, Her Royal Highness Princess Minghui cried and took Her Highness Princess Yun'an to reminisce about the commoner Ji Sheng." Qingdu said with a bitter smile, "Her Highness Princess Yun'an had no choice but to obey her. Then just like that...most of the day passed."
Yun Fenghuang smiled and said: "Our direct descendant was not this shrewd in the past. As expected, without the protection of my mother, even the eldest princess has to become shrewd."
Ming Hui obviously understood Yun An's purpose in entering the palace, but it was just to get her details under the guise of paying respects to the Queen Mother, or to use emotional cards to persuade her not to embarrass Chun Jia.
She was unwilling and didn't want to break up with Yun An, so she brought up Ji Sheng as the topic, leaving Yun An with no chance to say anything.
After all, no matter how bad the commoner Ji Sheng is, he is not as partial to his biological daughter as he is to the two concubines. But what happened to her, the two concubines are not the same. She also has the title of former aunt, her body is not cold, Yun'an You can't even refuse to accompany Minghui to think about it.
"My maid feels that Her Royal Highness Princess Minghui is not really smart." Hong E, who was waiting nearby, said after hearing this, "If you are really smart, why do you need to go out into the muddy water yourself?"
"After all, she is her biological mother." Yun Fenghuang muttered, "If she doesn't do anything, I'm afraid she will feel uncomfortable. After all, she is the blood of Xiaozong, so even if she openly goes against His Majesty, His Majesty will always show mercy. In this way, if you make a scene, no matter what the outcome is, at least you will be angry, right?"
There was nothing else going on that day. On the second day, she counted the time for Chunjia to go down to court and finish handling government affairs, freshen up and dress up, and then arrived at Taichu Palace.
"Why are you here now?" Although Yun Fenghuang has rarely been blocked from going to Taichu Palace, her visits to the previous dynasty were still relatively few. At this moment, Chunjia was closing her eyes to rest when she heard that Concubine Xian was here. , when people come in, they will inevitably think like the loving mother Queen Mother before, something suddenly happened in the harem.
"Your Majesty went to Ningbi Palace for two days in a row. I am worried that something went wrong with Mrs. Chunke." Yun Fenghuang said straight to the point, "I originally wanted to go and have a look, but you also know that Chunke Madam has never been very fond of my concubine, but she is afraid that rushing over will cause trouble for her. Therefore, I have come to ask Your Majesty."
Chunjia stepped back and motioned for her to come to him. He held her hand and said comfortingly: "Mother and I have ended our relationship a long time ago. You don't have to think too much about it."
Yun Fenghuang looked at him with a smile and said nothing.
"What are you doing?" Chunjia asked tentatively, "You don't believe me?"
"How could it be?" Yun Fenghuang narrowed his eyes, stared at his face for a moment, and said with a smile, "If I didn't believe you, why would I bother to come here? Wouldn't it be more efficient to just think about how to deal with Yuan Yuniang?"
Chunjia breathed a sigh of relief and said, "I made it very clear last night during my break. If you don't come today, I will go to Huanhua Hall."
Yun Fenghuang smiled on her face, but her heart sank. She had said so, but the emperor still insisted that he was in Huzhu Palace these two nights, and did not mention where he went or what he did during those unknown hours. What happened and whom he met, it was obvious that he did not intend to let her know.
"This is what you said yourself. Don't let Huzhu Palace get another headache and you can't help but pass it by." Yun Fenghuang said calmly, "Turn back and tell me to rejoice in vain."
Chunjia smiled and promised that she would never break the appointment. No matter what the time came, he would not leave. She pulled the emperor to talk for a while, and then Shi Shiran resigned.
Her face was not so good after leaving the Taichu Palace. When she returned to the Huanhua Palace, Yun Fenghuang waved back and pondered alone: What on earth was going on that Chunjia was hiding from her like this
Um…
Is it possible…
Was the truth about her poisoning revealed
Someone gave Chunjia the all-clear, and the emperor was still investigating, so he didn't mention stabilizing her for the time being, and then started to tear her apart when he got the evidence
Yun Fenghuang carefully sorted out the whole process and thought it shouldn't be the case.
What could that be
Recalling the day Chunjia was called to Huzhu Palace, her eyes flickered: Could it be related to Wei He
Wei He... Thinking of this, Yun Fenghuang pondered slightly. Because there had been nothing going on between the two countries in the past few years, although she was born and raised in the North, she didn't know much about this neighboring country. Last year, I peeked at the memorials of past ministers in the palace, and when Chunjia pressured me to write the three thousand-word memorial, I put in a lot of effort.
Old Khan Wei He is a powerful character, but he is already old. He fell ill again at the beginning of this year and has not recovered yet. The grassland does not support people, so he may not have much time left.
Today's new Khan Mu'e is one of the most outstanding sons of the old Khan. Excluding the new eldest son of the old Khan, Mu'e inherits the throne. His biggest opponent is his half-brother Hale. Although Hale's mother clan is not as good as Mu'e is slightly inferior, but Hele himself is very brave. The grassland is full of warriors. Excluding the mother clan and wife clan, just talking about itself, Hele's reputation is even higher than that of Mu'e.
The most important thing is that the old Khan actually prefers Hele among the two sons.
Therefore, it is not entirely unfounded for the imperial court to speculate that Mu'e came to power with some inside information. If the old khan chooses by himself and the eldest son who has been cultivated for many years takes the lead, he is actually more likely to choose Hele.
Could it be that... Wei He, the two brothers, both brought their ideas to the imperial court
Mu'e promised a princess from his first wife, does Hele also have a bargaining chip
Yun Fenghuang understands that Chunjia doesn't want to reveal this important military matter to the harem. Well, anyway, it's better than Chunjia actually investigating and finding out the truth about her poisoning...
She thought about it for a long time and finally decided to pretend she didn't know anything for the time being.
Wait and see what happens.
Chunjia did come to Huanhua Palace that night, her attitude as gentle as ever. She also mentioned Xie Lan's marriage to Luo Xun, saying that it had been arranged and planned to let Luo Xun serve as an official after they got married.
This kind of person in front of the emperor is still an old man who has been with Chunjia since he ascended the throne. As long as he is talented and does not make big mistakes or betrayal, his future will definitely not be a problem.
Yun Fenghuang was relatively satisfied. He coaxed him with several nice words, then turned around and ordered someone to pass the news back.
In just two days, it was the day when the married woman came to the palace for an audience. This time, it was agreed that Chao Jingyou would come together, and then Xie Lan and her daughter also came. After greeting each other, a group of family members paid special attention to Wan Yunfeng. Huang's body was in good health, so Gong expressed that she wanted to talk to Yun Fenghuang alone. The others then fled out, and Mrs. Gong asked cautiously: "Mother, if Luo Xun goes out after getting married, I wonder if Lan'er needs to stay in the imperial capital to take care of his family on his behalf?"
Yun Fenghuang really didn't think about this. He was startled after hearing this and said: "Your Majesty has not mentioned this matter, but I don't know what my aunt thinks?"
"Madam, according to what a commoner woman thinks, it is of course good for Lan'er to go out with her uncle." Gong told her niece, of course, truthfully, "It's not that I don't want Lan'er to serve the elders and take care of my brother-in-law, it's just that ... My uncle is away from home at the moment, so the days must not be short. Lan'er spends less time with him and separates more. This is the matter of the heir... Their family is also small in number, and they may not be willing to let Concubine Ji, who is waiting for my uncle, drink and escape all the time. Zitang. Even if you are willing, if your uncle is alone outside, if that cheap maid secretly does something, and then comes back with news after confirming that she is pregnant, will the elders in the family be willing to let her get rid of her? Then the bastard will It is against the rules to be born before your legitimate son!"
"That's what my aunt said." Yun Fenghuang was not very satisfied with this marriage in the first place, but now he nodded and said that he would help explain it to the emperor later, and asked Luo Xun to take his wife with him when he went out.
After hearing this, Mrs. Gong breathed a sigh of relief and thanked her gratefully... Seeing that she had nothing else to say, Yun Fenghuang sent her out and asked others to come and talk about the matter. He was especially concerned about Xiao Chen's pregnancy. After all, this was My sister-in-law is about to give birth.
Since Mr. Chen had both children, it didn't matter whether the baby was a boy or a girl, so it was easier for everyone to talk about it. After a few words, Chao Jingyou hinted that she wanted to talk to Yun Fenghuang alone.
