Chunjia was treated coldly when she went to see the Empress Dowager.
The female official told him politely but also coldly and distantly: "The Empress Dowager has just woken up, and she is a little dizzy, so I'm going to go find some trouble. It's not appropriate to disturb her tomorrow."
"Is it unknown whether the imperial grandmother has summoned the imperial doctor?" Chunjia did not feel dissatisfied at all, with a look of concern, just like a true filial son and grandson. He greeted her well and cared about her in every possible way for half an hour, and then left with a worried look on his face.
Those who don't know think that he is not only the grandson of the Empress Dowager, but also a very filial and considerate person.
After he left, the female officer went outside to revive the Empress Dowager.
She did not go back to stay in Taoshu. She looked at the empress dowager who was in good spirits and had a complicated mood. She said: "That's why the Ai family doesn't want to see him. Since he came to the throne, he has been pretending. Although he stands as the king, From the reporter’s standpoint, we must admire his perseverance and forbearance, but the Aijia really don’t want to see that hypocritical face.”
"If you don't want to see us, then we won't see you." Her confidant, who had been with her through thick and thin for decades, sighed and handed her warm honey and rose drink, "What status and age do you have? Don’t you have the qualifications to be willful? There is no one left to worry about now, so you can be as ruthless as you want. Bidong, if he is willing to suffer, he has to suffer, and if he is not willing to suffer, he has to suffer! Whoever tells him to do so must ask for help. What about being a filial grandson? If he is willing to do that, just treat him like a grandson and serve him!"
The Empress Dowager sighed: "I wonder if my grandson is pretending to be filial. How can he be really filial? Let's just wait and see. He has not been seen twice since he came. His patience has run out. He should use his filial piety when he comes. The legs force Aijia to go back to the palace so as not to drag him there."
Originally, the Empress Dowager insisted on staying in the Taoist Temple for a while, but the emperor tried to persuade her to no avail. The empress came with her concubine to serve her, and the emperor returned to the palace to handle government affairs without any problems.
After all, there are stories of sons and grandsons who left home thousands of miles away to serve as officials, leaving their daughters-in-law and grandsons-in-law to serve the elderly.
But if there is a fire in the Ming Taoist Temple, it is different.
Although the Empress Dowager was not harmed or even disturbed in any way, since there was such a thing, out of the Empress Dowager's concern, the place should be temporarily designated as a "dangerous area".
The son of a rich man cannot live in the palace, let alone the empress dowager who is so noble
According to the principle of filial piety, Chunjia not only had to rush over immediately after receiving the news to pay his respects, but also requested that the person be taken to a safer palace.
If the Empress Dowager insists on leaving, the filial grandson will of course have to sacrifice his life to accompany the gentleman, and cannot leave the elder in danger alone.
But it was not convenient for the Taoist temple to handle government affairs, and Chunjia was not a diligent person. How could he stay in Donglai for a long time
He didn't want to stay in Donglai, and he didn't want to bear the reputation of the Empress Dowager and the Empress Dowager as a filial piety, so he could try to get the Empress Dowager to go back with him.
Sure enough, in the afternoon, Ouyang Yanran, the Regent and other important ministers and clan members arrived one after another, all of whom came to invite the Empress Dowager to return to the palace.
From the regent's point of view, he should be eager to see Chunjia being made things difficult for the Empress Dowager. The question was whether he was the Empress Dowager's junior. Chunjia sent someone to talk to him in public, so he felt unsafe. He also helped persuade the Empress Dowager to leave the Taoist temple for safety reasons. Can he refuse
If he dared to refuse, Chunjia would turn around and publicize his behavior of not taking his aunt's life and death seriously.
So he can come along.
The emperor started, and a group of clan members and ministers knelt at the door of the other courtyard to ask the Empress Dowager to think twice, and asked her to put her body first. Some even asked her to put state affairs first. They said it politely, but they didn't mean to ask for personal concessions. The king and his ministers were all stuck in that Taoist temple and could not concentrate on governing the country.
The Empress Dowager had anticipated this and sent a female official out to tell them that the Empress Dowager had originally requested to return to the palace in those two months, but she kept dreaming of the former Empress and Kang Jieyu and felt uneasy, so she couldn't bear to leave.
The emperor and his minister Minghong had negotiated terms. After careful consideration, Chunjia expressed his willingness to pursue these two titles.
Anyway, everyone is dead, the family is destroyed, and all the mourners have failed to fulfill the meaning of the imperial edict.
Therefore, the former Queen Ji Lingzi was posthumously named Queen Duanhui, and Kang Jieyu was named Concubine Tian.
After the promise was made, the Empress Dowager finally relented and agreed to return to the palace.
Because of her status, she couldn't just leave at the drop of a hat, so the specific confinement date was set to be after March, and the suitcases and cages had to be put in place in March... In short, there were some preparations before departure.
Upon seeing this, Chunjia went back to the palace the next month, planning to come and accompany her when she left.
Before he left, he went to see Yun Fenghuang and asked her to keep an eye on the Queen Mother and Mrs. Roukun to prevent those two from getting into trouble.
"Mrs. Roukun is full of love for Bidong, but what is Bidong so worried about?" Yun Fenghuang deliberately teased him, "Is it true that I need to worry about Mrs. Roukun coming to find me?" "
Chunjia muttered, "Perhaps Wei He and He Dun have some news for her?"
"Then she will immediately report it to His Majesty, so that His Majesty will praise her." Yun Fenghuang said lazily, "Why is there any need for me to keep an eye on you?"
In other words, Chunjia didn't even need to greet her before people noticed the two of them.
Even Concubine Wan and Xuan Zhaoyi have arranged eye spies.
That's not just suspicion, but the fact that she wanted to set a fire and be robbed made her feel insecure.
Due to her unfamiliarity with Cuoshan Yuan Guan, she had no clue as to the culprit of that incident. She could not even show any doubt as to whether to conceal her original intention.
So, if you know that there is a master around you who will set fire to him in the middle of the night, why don't you be careful
Although she left some of her confidants to take care of the emperor's heir and nieces in the palace when she went out that time, she also brought a lot of people with her.
That arrangement was not a waste of time. In the evening after Chunjia left, Chen Zhu came over to report that there was something strange going on at the Queen Mother's side: "Just now, a strange Taoist nun entered the courtyard of the Queen Mother. In the past two days, I have looked at Shan Yuan in Dongdong, including the rough envoy, and there is no such person. Moreover, I always feel that that person is a bit strange."
Yun Fenghuang asked: "What kind of weird method?"
"I said I won't come." Chen Zhu muttered, "It's just that I think something is good... But my mind suddenly changed its mind!"
"Did the Taoist nun stay in there for a long time? Has she come out yet?"
Chen Zhu said that he had been in for a while, but he didn't come out when he left.
Yun Fenghuang thought for a while and then said: "Prepare the chariot, I will go and pay my respects to the Empress Dowager!"
He also asked Chen Zhu, "Xuanren, go and look around the residence of the Empress Dowager to see if there is any chance of blocking the people." "
After all, the Shanyuan Temple was the place where the three generations of Phoenix Masters of the Ji family had come and stayed. Not long after she left, the little waiter Chen Zhu left outside the Queen Mother's courtyard rushed over to report that the man had left. , and quickly disappeared on the mountain road.
Chen Zhu's expression changed when he heard this, and he scolded him for not following people well.
The empress asked me to take action in person, but it turns out that she disappeared first!
What does that sound like
The young waiter was very aggrieved: "I tried my best to follow him, but the man seemed to have been prepared for it. He was familiar with the nearby terrain, and he was able to walk on the rugged mountain road with ease... I really can't follow you!"
Afraid of not being believed, he specifically described the terrain of the East. It really required strong physical strength and endurance to follow. He was very out of breath by that time.
"That's all. Although it may have alarmed the snake, we can be sure that that person is someone the Empress Dowager doesn't want us to see." Yun Fenghuang thought for a while and said, "Go on and pay your respects to the Empress Dowager!"
Unlike the previous time when she was summoned on her own initiative, the Empress Dowager did not see her in person right away. Instead, she left her alone in the courtyard for a long time, watching the sky get dark, and then a palace maid came out and took her outside.
After saluting, he was given a seat. The Queen Mother, who was slowly stirring a bowl of rock sugar lotus seed soup, said: "It's been such an hour, why am I coming to the Ai family again without rest?"
Yun Fenghuang said softly: "I'm going to leave tomorrow. I'm afraid you have a lot of things to do there and your legs are not big enough, so I came here to have a look."
"I'm asking for something to do, so why should the female official in front of the Ai family listen to the instructions, but why do you come here to ask for an audience with the Ai family?" The Empress Dowager said lightly, "Is there nothing else?"
Seeing Yun Fenghuang shaking his head, she sneered and said, "In that case, I don't want to bother the Ai family!"
Just politely tell her to get lost.
Yun Fenghuang did not move, and said with a smile: "When I first came here, I was worried about disturbing you, so I lingered outside for a long time, not daring to knock on the door to ask for permission. But fortunately, I was so cautious, because I was hesitating. , I found that there was someone at your place. I originally wanted to call Han Zhen so that I could find out how you were feeling, but I was willing to summon you. It turned out that he seemed to be there very much, and after taking a picture, he hurried away. Something dropped and came east. I saw it, Yuanji, and asked someone to pick it up and chase it. I don’t know if I was chasing it at that time."
The Empress Dowager was unmoved by the temptation and said calmly: "A monk came over to read Taoist scriptures for the Ai family for a while. If your concubine is interested, you might as well have someone explain it to me, so that I don't have to go to heaven." If your mind is not pure, if you don’t plot something, then you plot something else.”
"There is nothing we can do about it. After all, although I have never given birth to a child, I still have two children." Yun Fenghuang said softly, "That person is fine when he is alone, but when he is with Lao Dong and is young, , Where do my thoughts go? If you don’t think about that, then you don’t think about that. You want to provide a good plan for your children, but you also want to think about how to be filial to your elders so that they can laugh... I feel tired just thinking about it. Now, looking at the ruthless looks of the children and the hale and hearty elders, I feel comfortable both physically and mentally."
Those words were very malicious for the Empress Dowager to say, because her family was gone, and her biological son Xiaozong also passed away when he was ten years old, and even her nieces and nephews also passed away. Like Ming Na In this world, except for a few sporadic Ji family members who are hiding and evading arrest, the people who have the closest relationship with her are her three granddaughters.
The problem is that among the three granddaughters, the two who have passed away don’t get along very well with her, and their relationship is not particularly close.
Moreover, the eldest princess from the east has her own life, and Yun An is very pregnant. How can she often think of the grandmother of the Empress Dowager
After all, Minghui was not born to Ji's daughter, so the Empress Dowager wanted to be more affectionate, but her future was uncertain.
Yun Fenghuang's words were so heart-wrenching that one could only tell.
The Empress Dowager was silent for a moment, and then she said: "I can go on like that if I want to. I don't want it to be in vain."
He waved his legs and asked her to leave.
After Yun Fenghuang left the Empress Dowager, he asked Chen Zhu to borrow two hunting dogs to try to track down the Taoist nun Yidong.
But the wrong party had obviously expected it. The hound had completely lost its direction after crossing two creeks... Could it have happened in the middle of the night? Yun Fenghuang didn't get the report until he got up as early as the next month. He frowned for a while and said : "That's all, if it wasn't so easy to find, the Empress Dowager would never have summoned the wrong person in Qingtianhongyue. But that also shows that this person is suspicious and even of great importance."
"Empress, do you want to talk to your Majesty about this matter? That person is probably a remnant of the Ji family." Chen Zhu asked hesitantly, "The Ji family has been in power for many years, and the centipede is dead but not dead. Maybe Dong Dong is planning something secretly. What are you wearing?"
Yun Fenghuang nodded and said: "If you say no, I have to tell you. But tomorrow, Your Majesty will come to accompany the Empress Dowager, so there is no need to ask for extraneous matters and distract Your Majesty. Let's wait until the Empress Dowager returns to the palace, and then we can discuss it privately. Report to Your Majesty Dong."
On that day, after the emperor personally escorted the empress dowager back to the palace, Yun Fenghuang and the emperor were both concerned about the matter because the King of Chu was ill.
The biological mother of King Chu, who was fifth among the princes, was humble, but because she denied Gu Zhen, the prince she adopted after being enthroned as empress, she was denied the title of legitimate son.
He is also the only legitimate son of Chunjia.
He was sick, even if it was just an ordinary cold, but it was not easy to raise a child at that time.
Children who are dependent on others are especially delicate.
Gu Zhen's anxious tears almost never stopped. Hearing that the emperor was back, he immediately sent someone to invite him over and asked for a thorough investigation of the Woxia Tower where he lived in the east. He suspected that he had been tampered with.
Although Chunjia was not as confused as she was, her expression was very solemn.
