After Yin Xuan finished her report, Queen Gu's face was complicated for a moment, and then she spoke calmly and told Yin Xuan to go back and have a good pregnancy, and try to give Chun Jia a strong heir.
"Your Majesty, since Yin Zhaoyi is happy and it will be cold tomorrow, please say hello..." Seeing that the queen had no other expressions other than those, Concubine Rui glanced at Yin Xiang and coughed dryly, "Should we follow the old rules?"
The old rule was that when Ji Lingzi was in power, pregnant concubines could be exempted from greetings.
But this is special care at special times.
Because Chunjia was empty at that time, the imperial heirs in the palace could not be born. Even the humblest concubine, if there was any joy, it would not disturb the palace and the harem.
There are already eight posthumous heirs in the imperial family, so even if Yin Xiang is held in such a high position, it is not that dangerous anymore.
After all, what if Yin Xiang wins a man in one fell swoop
In terms of ranking, there are already five princes; in terms of the dignity of mothers and concubines, don’t the two princes raised by the Queen compare themselves to others? In terms of biological mother's background, who among the concubines De and Xie is worse than Yin Xiang
When Ruifei mentioned those words, she seemed to be taking special care of Yin Xiang.
Bu Nao Gu Zhen knew that the four of them were always close to each other, so he didn't take it seriously and said calmly: "Just follow the old routine."
Ruifei and Yin Xianlian went to express their gratitude.
There was nothing else to do with Dong Lai. If the concubines were ready to resign, Gu Zhen would not keep them here normally, but this time, she thought about it and told Yun Fenghuang to leave Dong Lai alone and shut up.
"Your Majesty mentioned to me the matter of my concubine Lin from the Jin and Wei Dynasties." Gu Zhen and Yun Fenghuang looked at each other in disgust. When the concubines were gone, she didn't bother to be verbose and said straightforwardly, "Such a relationship among the four concubines. There are vacancies for Concubine Zhong Shu and Concubine Xian, who do I think is more suitable to fill them?"
Yun Fenghuang said: "It's fine that the queen makes the decision."
Anyway, Wei Hengyan has already occupied the position of the Virtuous Concubine. There is no one else who can take the position of the Fourth Concubine at the bottom of her legs. She has no objection to whoever takes the other two positions.
"Why don't you ask me to come here to discuss it if you are in a dilemma?" Gu Zhen frowned and said, "I don't hide it from me either. Princess Roukun, who was mentioned in the previous meeting, has already followed Wei He. The envoy is on the way, and the New Year's Eve banquet is here for us to see. What do the courtiers think? Although that person is not qualified to marry His Majesty, for the sake of diplomatic relations between the two countries, I always ask for one of the four concubines. In this way, There is only one vacancy left for the fourth concubine. The most suitable concubine was Fei Rui, and Bi Dong also agreed. The posthumous title is favorable to Yin Zhaoyi, but it is a bit tricky."
"Even if she is happy, she is Zhaoyi, and she has the title of wife and concubine." Ouyang Yanran's attitude was there. President Yun Fenghuang wanted to reciprocate the favor, so he immediately stood up to Concubine Rui and said, "Besides, Yin Zhaoyi has a distant temperament. Not as stable and decent as Concubine Rui, being a concubine is almost enough, being the fourth concubine is a bit forced."
Gu Zhen said: "But his father Yin Qu has always been very fond of his daughter..."
"It sounds like we people are just like our fathers who don't love their mothers and are not cruel." Yun Fenghuang said lightly, "How many legitimate daughters are not favored at home in this world? Is his Yin Qu's daughter a sweetheart? We people are Is there nothing in the house that can't grow? Besides, whether it's the harem or not, your Majesty leaves it to the empress to make the decision, so what qualifications does he, a foreign minister, have to comment on it?"
In fact, Gu Zhen doesn't like Yin Qu and other bosses. It should be said that normal people don't like to be questioned outside the scope of their power. Liu Yunfeng Huang Donglai is actually very reluctant to deny Yin Qu. Lord, do you want to see Xian? Is the concubine's attitude consistent with her own
Otherwise, wouldn’t it be embarrassing if she promoted others with her front foot and Yun Fenghuang’s back foot undermined her
At that time, Yun Fenghuang also disagreed with Ruifei, and said a few words about Yin Qu, which hinted that she could leave.
"My dear, the Concubine Xian is very trustworthy. Your Majesty Dong Ruming has great trust in Ouyang Yanran. Even if the Ouyang family gives birth to a direct grandson to marry the Concubine Xian, everyone with a discerning eye knows that Concubine Xian is favored by Concubine Nabu to temporarily gain power. Forget it, once Concubine Xian's status is shaken, how can the Ouyang family always stand by her? She must have supported her own family." After Concubine Xian left, she made fresh tea and said to Gu Zhen, "I really didn't expect Concubine Xian to be like that. I dare to support Concubine Rui, but are you afraid that after Concubine Rui is promoted to the fourth concubine, she will get the chance to backfire?"
Gu Zhen sighed: "Why do you say that now? How often does a good concubine compete for favors based on her position? When she cheated Yuan Niang, Yuan Niang was a concubine, so what is she?"
After thinking about it, he sighed slightly.
I really don’t understand why the Red Emperor doesn’t like the honest people like his mother-in-law, but the ruthless ones like Yun Fenghuang and Yun Fenghuang.
… When Yun Fenghuang returned to Huanhua Hall, he sent someone to deliver a message to Concubine Rui, telling her what the queen had left to discuss.
Of course, she would not tell Concubine Rui whether she wanted to choose Concubine Rui, but said: "There are only two vacancies for the fourth concubine. One must be left for Princess Wei He, and the one who comes from the east is left. I have hinted at it earlier in the confinement period." The queen kept it for me. It turns out that Yin Xiang is going to be happy tomorrow, and the queen was very hesitant. I just talked to the queen for a long time in Chongchang Hall, and the queen reluctantly nodded. I will work more carefully in the past two months, don't call her queen If you catch me in the wrong place, I won’t be able to help you exonerate me when the time comes. If you miss this opportunity, won’t you be upset?”
Ruifei knew that there was something in her words, because Gu Zhen was not a queen who had crooked ambitions and played tricks of the trade, and had always been conservative in her actions.
Since she was in the position of Yin Xuan and had always held the power of the palace, she should have been given priority for the fourth concubine.
But I thanked him respectfully and fearfully.
There was no way, Yun Fenghuang might not be able to protect her as the fourth concubine, but he could definitely ruin her chances of being promoted to the fourth concubine.
It's not easy to offend after all.
The little twists and turns caused by Yin Xiang's pregnancy were quietly eliminated.
The time soon came to New Year's Eve, and it was only noon. Yun Fenghuang started to put on makeup. Chen Jing came over to report: "Wei He's envoy entered the city first, and Princess Roukun was accompanying him. He said that he wanted to have a banquet on New Year's Eve. Here, dance for Bidong."
"Then those people in this palace are lucky." Yunfeng Huangcuo was not interested in the alien princess, but she didn't mind showing off to Dongma. He said calmly, "It's fine if she just asks for a simple dance. , are you asking someone who is your Majesty’s concubine to be exposed to the public like that, but what do you think of the harem of another country? Can anyone just enter?"
Let Chen Jing go and express that opinion to the queen.
Queen Gu was very annoyed and said: "If Princess Roukun performs the dance, the Ministry of Etiquette reports that it is not wrong to come to Bidong. If Concubine Xian feels something is wrong, she might as well go and tell Bidong herself. I went there at that time. Very, but I have no time to invite Your Majesty to come over."
The Lord prays that Chunjia will be very busy tomorrow, and the queen may not be able to be invited.
Chen Jing returned to Huanhua Palace and asked Yun Fenghuang if he would like to invite Chunjia to come over.
"The Queen is not in a hurry for such a trivial matter. Why should we be anxious?" Yun Fenghuang shook his head. Chun Jianana said that Princess Roukun was just thinking about the future. Whether the princess was a virtuous and virtuous woman, he didn't care. It doesn't matter.
Why is she rushing to remind him to pay attention to others
It's just that it's a hindrance to people's legs. If it doesn't work, forget it.
Then he waved his legs so that Chen Jing would not have to worry about that matter, and went to find out how other palaces dressed up so that he could stand out from the crowd and see if they were serious.
In the evening, the well-dressed Concubine Xian held Chen Jing's legs on the chariot. Since the two emperors were too young, she did not take them with her. Instead, she led her two nieces to the banquet together.
She checked the clock when she went out, and by that time hundreds of people had arrived. Even Wei He's envoy was walking to the east of Didong.
When Yun Fenghuang looked eastward to look for Princess Roukun, those people were also asking about her identity.
