Hearing this, Yun Fenghuang covered his mouth and smiled: "If you hadn't said this, someone else would have laughed at me. If I had the ability to make the Queen Mother happy, I would ask you to rush to the Spring Festival every time. Nong Gong intercedes?"
"You have to think about it." Chunjia smiled half-heartedly and touched her hair, reminding her, "Although the regent has promised not to stop you from being promoted to the imperial concubine, you still have to report such a big matter to your mother. I originally thought that you had narrowly escaped death this time, and the queen mother felt pity for you, so I just took it to talk to her. But this time, the queen mother was very angry with Yuan Yuniang. Will she agree in this anger? But just It’s hard to talk about…”
"The Empress Dowager is kind and generous, but Yuan Yuanniang is really born in the midst of blessings and knows no blessings!" Yun Fenghuang immediately said seriously, "It's pitiful that the Empress Dowager still has to be so angry at such an old age, it's really heartbreaking! So, don't worry about it! , I will go to pay my respects to the Queen Mother tomorrow, and I must make the Queen Mother happy!"
She agreed so readily and Chunjia felt uneasy again: "My mother is now known to the outside world as being ill. Although she doesn't really stay on the bed all day long, she is still stuffy in being confined to a palace. You should be more patient. "
"Look at what you said, it seems that I am not going to make the Queen Mother happy, but to make things difficult for the Queen Mother." Yun Fenghuang pushed him angrily, took the shawl on his arm, and said confidently, " Don't worry, when have I never done anything you asked me to do?"
Then the next day she arrived in front of Empress Dowager Yuan and said: "Your Majesty is worried that you will feel uncomfortable because of what happened yesterday, so he asked me to come and serve you."
Empress Dowager Yuan and Yun Fenghuang had the same idea, that is, did Chunjia's arrangement really care about her, or was it a deliberate attempt to cause trouble for her
Among the many concubines in the Three Palaces and Sixth Courtyard, who can't be arranged well, Yun Fenghuang
"Your Majesty is also in a dilemma." Yun Fenghuang saw her thoughts and whispered softly, "You are the one who raised him single-handedly. Your Majesty often said that without you, he would not be what he is today. He must be filial to you no matter what. But I am lucky enough to fall into His Majesty’s eyes. Your Majesty is not the kind of person who is irresponsible, so he naturally wants to protect me. In this way, I am not lucky enough to be favored by you. The saddest thing is that it is not His Majesty who still has who?"
Queen Mother Yuan snorted: "You just look at him and feel sad?"
Yun Fenghuang thought to himself that a mother like you doesn't care about her son, so why should you blame me
"Of course I want to take care of Your Majesty's worries, aren't you here now?" She said calmly, "I'm just stupid. I want to please you but don't know what to do."
The Queen Mother sneered and said: "You can use these words to prevaricate the emperor. What are you doing in front of the Ai family? If you are truly filial to the Ai family, you don't know what to do?"
Of course I know what you like, and the core thing is to be submissive, but just give up on this idea. My previous mother-in-law watched me grow up and failed to cultivate me like this, let alone you
Yun Fenghuang swore and said with a smile: "I'm sorry, Queen Mother, how can I know what's going on in my body and mind? Look at the sisters in the palace, who doesn't want to please His Majesty? But those who are truly remembered by Your Majesty only come and go. A few of them, do you think this is true?"
Therefore, it’s not that you don’t have to worry about me trying to please the Queen Mother. It’s that pleasing people is a major skill. There are so many concubines in the palace, including you Yuan’s daughter, so you can’t blame me alone!
"..." Queen Mother Yuan was silent for a moment, wondering again whether Chunjia sent someone to share her worries or sent someone to piss her off
"Mother Xian Fei is joking. How can anyone else compare with you? Who in the former harem doesn't know that your empress is smart and charming, far beyond ordinary people?" Zhan Liu couldn't bear to support his master, "If you all Dumb, is there anyone clever in this palace?"
Yun Fenghuang smiled and said: "Auntie is just joking. I can just pay off such a little thought in front of ordinary people. But in front of you, Auntie, the Queen Mother and Your Majesty, what does it mean?"
Empress Dowager Yuan pinched her eyebrows and told her to go away: "The Ai family is tired, you can go down."
"That can't be done." Yun Fenghuang sat motionless and said, "I came here to visit the Queen Mother on your majesty's order. If I leave after such a short time, will your majesty know about it later?"
Zhan Liu said displeasedly: "Is the Concubine Xian using His Majesty's name to suppress Chunwu Palace?"
"What my aunt said is really confusing. Your Majesty is the Queen Mother's son, not her biological son. How can his reputation be higher than that of Chunwu Palace?" Yun Fenghuang glanced at her sideways and said slowly, "I just think that Your Majesty It would be a pity if my filial piety was let down."
Empress Dowager Yuan once again wondered whether Chunjia was filial or did she do it deliberately
"Maybe the Queen Mother feels that it's not appropriate for me to come here?" Concubine Xian continued, "But Madam, who else in the palace is suitable for me now? There is a vacancy in the middle palace. Even before there is no vacancy, the Queen Mother must not be very good. I want to see Ji’s daughter. Concubine Ruifei, Xie and the others are not very close to the empress. Mrs. Chunke does have a deep relationship with the empress. But excuse me, Mrs. Chunke, it’s okay for others to coax her. When has she ever coaxed her? Someone else? Can she coax others? Your Majesty himself is too busy with government affairs to do anything. He doesn’t trust you. Who else can he send if he doesn’t send me my concubine?"
"Oh, there is also Yuan Zhaoyuan, but Yuan Yuanniang just did this and asked Zhaoyuan to come over. How could His Majesty not be worried that you will feel more and more uncomfortable?"
"So, why do you feel so anxious to be bored when you see me now?"
"You don't like me, but you value His Majesty very much."
"Why not treat this concubine as His Majesty's heart and soul for you?"
Empress Dowager Yuan didn't want to see this at all. She didn't bother to talk to Yun Fenghuang. She only said to Zhan Liu: "You leave two people to serve the concubine Xian. The Ai family wants to go back and have a rest."
But when Yun Fenghuang heard this, he also stood up and wanted to follow directly into the dormitory.
Zhan Liu stopped her unhappily and said, "You can also break into your empress's residence?"
"What if the empress wants to serve?" Yun Fenghuang said, "I'm not here to drink tea and have snacks. I have to do something."
But what happened to the Queen Mother's master and servant? Zhan Liu finally drove her away and refused to enter.
"Your Majesty, what are you thinking about?" Empress Dowager Yuan looked unhappy in the bedroom. Zhan Liu asked people to guard the door to prevent Yun Fenghuang from entering. She stepped forward and made a cup of red date tea for the Empress Dowager, and sighed softly, "Even if I care about you, It would be better to send the servants from the imperial court than this virtuous concubine!"
Empress Dowager Yuan said with a sullen face: "What is he thinking? Didn't Xiaoyunshi make it clear just now? He just hopes that the Ai family and Xiaoyunshi will turn their hostility into friendship!"
"This..." Zhan Liu pursed his lips, not knowing what to say. He said he agreed. The Queen Mother was obviously not willing to act like this. She said she objected, but she was afraid of hurting the harmony between mother and son of the Tian family, so she finally sighed and said goodbye. Topic: "Just now Yuan Zhu sent someone to tell them that Huzhu Palace had caught many nails and dealt with them. She originally wanted to accompany Mrs. Chunke to plead guilty, but she gave up thinking that this matter should not be spread."
"They can be happy as they please, and they will bear the consequences of their own actions. The emperor is not easy to fool!" Empress Dowager Yuan sneered, "These bastards are so complacent that they have forgotten how they came to the Imperial Capital in the first place!"
She let out a long sigh, suddenly thought of something, and asked, "By the way, who sent those nails to Huzhu Palace? Concubine Xian must be involved, right?"
Zhanliu said: "Isn't that right? Several of them are her people. They just passed on some news and couldn't do anything."
Empress Dowager Yuan laughed and said, "It's also because the Ai family is still alive, otherwise, Mother Neem might not be alive today... The Zheng family before is an example!"
Zhanliu couldn't bear to accept this, so he just said: "Xiao Yun just relies on your majesty, but no matter how much your majesty favors her, he is also looking out for you."
"It's just taking care of it." Queen Mother Yuan didn't say anything, thinking in her heart that Xiaoyun's family was from a humble background and could only help Chunjia so much. She had only been with Chunjia for a few years and raised her son by herself. How many years and effort has he spent until now
As a result, Chunjia was in a dilemma between herself and the Xiaoyun family, which was heartbreaking.
But Yun Fenghuang, who was thought by the Queen Mother to have come from behind and taken advantage of him, didn't think so.
She whispered to Qingdu: "I also said that Your Majesty specially asked me to come here because he had already arranged it. In the end, the Queen Mother still dislikes me. Your Majesty, it is true that the Yuan family's daughter has caused trouble. , instead of letting them please the Ningbo Mansion to find a way to settle things, let me suffer the consequences!"
Qingdu said awkwardly: "If you had been more gentle just now..."
"That's useless." Yun Fenghuang waved his hands calmly, "Unless I am willing to be submissive to the Queen Mother for the rest of my life, no matter how many grievances and hardships I suffer, she will still feel that I am useless if she does not like her once... At home... Isn’t this the case for all unpopular people? If you do the right thing, it’s what you should do, and if you do something wrong, you will be punished with death! So what should I do to make things difficult for myself? Anyway, she doesn’t If you like me, you can’t do anything to me, right?”
Qingdu always felt that this was not good, but he could not persuade his master, so he could only remind him in a low voice: "Yesterday, you promised His Majesty that you would make the Queen Mother happy, but the Queen Mother went back to the palace now and refused to let you Now that we've gone in, what shall we explain to His Majesty later?"
"I have such ability, why am I still being left here?" Yun Fenghuang snorted, "Actually, it's easy to make the Queen Mother happy. If I die suddenly on the spot, the Queen Mother must be extremely happy. Got it!"
Qing Qing didn't dare to answer these words and pursed his lips without saying a word.
She stopped talking. The palace attendants in Chunhui Palace were far away and had no intention of chatting with Yun Fenghuang. Yun Fenghuang couldn't help but feel bored, so he had a lunch at Chunhui Palace and left relieved. .
Then this was the first day. That night Chunjia rested in Qiongfang Palace, but he still sent Yan Yin to remind her that the Queen Mother was in a better mood today, and the Concubine Xian had to keep up her efforts.
After Yan Yin left, Qingdu and the others all had expressions of displeasure. The Queen Mother was so angry that she went back to her bedroom without even saying a few words. She didn't show up until noon. Does this mean she feels better
Those who didn’t know thought that there was a grudge between the Queen Mother and the Emperor.
But Yun Fenghuang knew it well and said to his attendants in private: "Your Majesty probably intends to keep his promise."
Although all parties nodded in private, there must be a reason to advance from a virtuous concubine to a noble concubine, right
only…
This kind of reason does not necessarily have to serve the Queen Mother's illness. The most important thing is that Queen Mother Yuan went to Fuyang County in order not to be picked up by the new King Fuyang, and she and Queen Mother Qu complained about illness.
During the recent period, the two empress dowagers have tried to reduce their presence as much as possible to avoid being remembered and urged to live with their heirs.
Did Chunjia find a way to "recover" these two people with this move
Yun Fenghuang suddenly remembered that Chunjia had revealed to her that her promotion to the imperial concubine was one of the results of negotiations with the regent.
Then will he only think about her
Presumably, the two empress dowagers made an exception and stayed in the palace instead of going to Fuyang County. This was also the result of Chunjia's efforts, right
Yun Fenghuang frowned immediately, and Queen Mother Qu just paid it back. This Queen Mother Yuan never stopped even when she was "sick". Now that the ban is lifted, will her life be better
This is not possible...
She has to think of another way...
