Yun Fenghuang didn't pay attention to his attack and calmly narrated: "The Queen has been in the palace for many years and is not an impulsive person. If it is because of King Chu's affairs that she felt resentful and wanted to beat the Sixth Palace, why did King Chu recover? She was indifferent at that time? But it was after she had been ill for several days that she finally thought of taking over the power? Yes, the queen personally took care of King Chu in all her clothes. She was indeed very tired, so that King Chu got better and she herself became ill. Yes. But the Queen is not a deep-seated person. Your Majesty, do you think she could have endured these many days if she was here to take revenge?"
"Especially when the Sixth Palace went to pay a visit, the queen was as always."
"Your Majesty should still remember that that day, the Queen even kept a concubine, Concubine Shu and Concubine De to talk together, and personally entrusted the palace affairs!"
"It's not that I despise the Queen. If the Queen is really such a calm person, given her family background, how can she still be just a wife after being in the palace for many years?"
"When I first entered the palace, two of the fourth concubines were sealed."
"Could it be that the Queen had expected that His Majesty would personally take charge of the government, and was hiding her clumsiness?"
She looked at Chunjia's face and said slowly, "The queen herself would not do such a move rashly, only the Gu family. And why are the Gu family suddenly in trouble with people like me? Apart from the emperor's heir, you say, They still think, what else can they think about me? I can’t be your favorite? "
"As for my concubine, what else is worthy of their attention besides the emperor's heir and favor?"
Chunjia said slowly: "Don't always be so suspicious. You always feel that the previous harem is trying to harm you. Maybe it's just the queen's whim? You also know that the queen is not a very scheming person. She may have heard the slander from her subordinates while she was recovering. , I did it on impulse, and maybe I am hesitating about what to do right now?"
Yun Fenghuang lowered his eyes and whispered: "If I had not come into the palace and won your favor, a noble lady like the queen would have just frowned slightly, and my body and the whole family would have been annihilated without a sound."
"Tell me, can I not be suspicious or afraid of ghosts?"
"You also said that it would be if you didn't enter the palace." Chunjia said, "Now that you are in the palace, you are only slightly inferior to the queen in terms of status. I am still watching, so what are you afraid of?"
"Isn't it enough that I have burdened Your Majesty?" Yun Fenghuang bit his lip, and his voice began to choke, "You have to worry about everything, what's the point of what I, a noble concubine, do? And if it is me, what did I do wrong? It’s okay to offend the Queen, but I’ve clearly done nothing recently. I was just following His Majesty’s order to find a county for Princess Kunze... "
She seemed stunned when she said this, and blurted out, "Could it have anything to do with this?"
Seeing Chun Jia raising his eyebrows, Yun Fenghuang frowned and said, "Your Majesty didn't mention that Princess Kunze had a sweetheart before. After I took over the mission, I went to talk to the Queen. At that time, the Queen I was still recuperating, and I just told me to let me take care of it, because Spring Festival is next year, and such a big matter must be personally witnessed by Your Majesty and the Queen Mother, so I didn’t go into details and just agreed to do it first. The scholars who arrived at the imperial capital were looking for him."
As she spoke, she was thinking about how to throw dirty water on the Queen, and find someone to take the blame for the subsequent incident between Princess Kunze and Yuan Shizi, "So after I came back, I ordered someone to go to the Imperial Capital." I paid attention to it. But later, didn’t His Majesty come to tell me again that Princess Kunze has someone there and there is no need to choose anymore? So I also reported the matter to the Queen, so that she would not know about it and still Keeping it in mind is not good for the patient."
Isn't that considerate
Chunjia asked: "Does this make the queen unhappy?"
"...There is something, does your Majesty know about it?" Yun Fenghuang hesitated for a moment before asking hesitantly.
Chunjia said: "What's the matter?"
"That's it... The Empress Dowager once asked the Queen Mother if she was willing to let a descendant of the Gu family become the master?" Yun Fenghuang whispered, "The Queen Mother... declined."
During this process, she paid close attention to Chunjia's expression, and she saw Chunjia was slightly startled, as if he had not heard of it, but then returned to normal and said: "Not really. Well, so you doubt that the queen doesn't want to Let Shang Minghui, a descendant of the Gu family, marry Kunze?"
Yun Fenghuang spread his hands and said helplessly: "Except for this, I can't think of anything else that could make the Queen Empress so angry with me? Oh, I can't blame the Queen Empress entirely, maybe. It was when I told the Empress that Princess Kunze’s princess’ horse was settled, I didn’t explain it clearly enough. Maybe the Empress misunderstood and thought I was causing trouble. This is too unfair. Where did I get my ability? Make the final decision on Jinzhiyuye’s lifelong affairs?”
"The Gu family does have several unmarried children, and they are similar in age to Minghui and Kunze." Chunjia thought for a moment and said slowly, "But even if the queen intends to become their wife and eldest daughter, she will not offend you for it. . Maybe someone else is causing trouble, and as you know, the Queen has always been honest, so there may be no possibility of being taken advantage of."
He said, "I'll choose a day to talk to the queen, don't think too much about it."
Seeing that Yun Fenghuang was silent, knowing that she was still struggling, she sighed, "Fei Wan and the others have never been exposed to palace affairs at all. Even if the queen wants to ask them for help, what can they do? After all, the harem still needs your assistance. . This truth, the queen was confused for a while, but after some time, she will naturally understand it."
He also said, "The Gu family has a very deep relationship with the Regent. Even though Gu Zhen is the queen, the Regent has always been resentful. Now because of some of the Queen's actions, it is believed that the Gu family has different intentions. Doesn't it play into the Regent's arms?"
"...I know." Yun Fenghuang responded lukewarmly with a bit of unwillingness and displeasure, but he felt a slight shudder in his heart: Chunjia must have listened to her words.
It's not that the Queen is angry because of Princess Kunze's marriage, but that the Gu family has different intentions.
But Chunjia couldn't find it easy to fall out with the Gu family now, so she chose to avoid the important and take the easy.
Not even admitting it at all.
It doesn't matter. When Chunjia returns to Xingxintang, he might do something immediately to guard against the Gu family.
Well, with the emperor's personality, I'm afraid it's more than just precautions
Yun Fenghuang suppressed the gloating in his heart and said with a gloomy expression, "I'll explain it to the Queen tomorrow. Let's see if this is the case."
Chunjia told her not to go, because although Gu Zhen was usually easy to fool, it was a headache to recognize the truth.
For example, regarding King Chu's illness, he asked the Imperial City Secretary to conduct a thorough investigation, and he also personally inquired about the ins and outs, and concluded that it was an accident.
From the time King Chu got the disease to the entire diagnosis and treatment process, there was nothing wrong.
As for why the King of Chu and the third prince were raised together, all conditions were the same. The third prince was safe, but King Chu... Chunjia's view was that the third prince was older than the King of Chu after all, so he also blew a bit of cold wind. The third prince was still alive and well, but King Chu couldn't afford it.
Logically speaking, the people who took care of the two princes should be severely punished for this matter, but Gu Zhen believed that the King of Chu was murdered. When Chunjia proposed punishing the palace officials, her idea was that Chunjia wanted to kill innocent people to silence them.
No matter how Chunjia explains it, she thinks so.
She couldn't stop it, but Chunjia couldn't let her change her mind.
In the end, Chunjia had no choice but to compromise and let her handle it by herself.
If the Queen really has a problem at this time, or if she believes that Princess Kunze's so-called marriage has been decided, it is Yun Fenghuang who did something to stop the wives and daughters of the Gu family, then Yun Fenghuang will definitely explain it. unclear.
And because of the imperial concubine's temperament, she was able to explain everything that could be explained clearly in a few words, and people became furious.
What's more, the concubines are openly at war with each other now
Don't make a big fuss then.
He then reassured Yun Fenghuang to calm down and leave the whole matter to him.
But in fact, Chunjia ended up personally, and this matter was still not easy to handle.
The main reason is that Gu Zhen doesn't trust him...
So no matter what Chunjia said was nice, her understanding was that the emperor was partial to the imperial concubine, and she didn't want to listen or listen.
Chunjia is very patient and tolerant, but to be honest, it depends on who is right.
When the power of the Ji family was in power, he endured it. Yuan Mei Niang was a childhood sweetheart and Empress Dowager Yuan's favorite female descendant, so he endured it. Yun Fenghuang had a temperament that was in line with his will and was loved by him, so he was willing to endure it. But what about Gu Zhen... Emperor I don't have much dislike for this successor, but I don't have much favorable impression either.
He was not so willing to coax Gu Zhen into being a lowly person.
Seeing the situation, he didn't say much and left Woxia Tower directly.
Seeing this, everyone around the Queen was a little worried: "Is it not good for Your Majesty to offend Your Majesty like this?"
Gu Zhen was also very conflicted. On the one hand, when she was calm, she analyzed that her current situation was similar to that of the former empress. As long as the family did not collapse, it would be okay for her to be a little out of line, even if she annoyed the emperor. On the other hand, she was not always unscrupulous after all. Most of the people who have followed the rules in the past twenty years suddenly do such unreasonable things based on their family background, especially when they are fighting people like Chunjia and Guifei, they can't help but feel a subconscious guilty conscience.
"...That's it, I won't stop doing it until I do it." After hesitating for a long time, Gu Zhen finally decided to grit his teeth and persevere.
Because although she is not a particularly smart and capable person, she also knows that if she gives up now, her reputation in the harem will plummet, and many concubines, even Chunjia, will never let her go again. In the eyes.
Even if the imperial concubine is cunning and changeable, everything about the imperial concubine comes from the emperor's favor.
Chunjia is currently in need of the Gu family. He would never do anything too excessive to the middle palace at this time, and he would not let the concubine and others do so.
In terms of emotion and reason, this is the best opportunity for Gu Zhen to establish his authority.
If she misses this time, she may just be a puppet for the rest of her life.
Even if it is impossible to be arbitrary in the Sixth Palace in the end, she can at least gain a certain amount of respect through taking back power and fighting this time.
Let the Sixth Palace, including Chunjia and the imperial concubine, understand that the queen is not someone to be trifled with.
Only in this way can Gu Zhen's future life and the safety of her heirs be guaranteed.
So she couldn't stop it. If she wanted to stop it, Chunjia or the imperial concubine should stop it... with their compromise conditions.
Gu Zhen thinks this is the best ending to the whole thing.
Of course for her.
After Chunjia left Woxia Tower, she did not react immediately.
After returning to Xingxin Hall to deal with government affairs, I finally had some time off, and then I ordered Yan Yin to send a message to the queen: "Minghui is the eldest daughter of the late emperor. Her two younger sisters have already passed away, and Yun'an is pregnant. We can't keep Minghui in the palace like this and miss the flowering period. Let the queen start choosing a consort for the eldest princess Minghui. Be sure to choose a good one, and he must be worthy of the status of the late emperor's legitimate daughter."
When Gu Zhen received this order, he knew that Chunjia was not going to give in, and would even attack her.
To be honest, the marriage of Princess Minghui is really a hot potato now.
For people with a status like Minghui's, it's nothing to be poor in talent and appearance. Even bad conduct, as long as it's not too excessive, is not a problem. The fact that the emperor must treat her well is enough to erase all flaws.
The problem is that this eldest princess has the blood of the Ji family, and she has openly opposed Chunjia and Chunjia's favorite concubine.
Regardless of Min Guifei Yun Fenghuang's achievements, she was forced to try to commit suicide in public.
Even if it was just a show, considering Yun Fenghuang's reputation for revenge, unless he was a descendant of the Xie family, who could guarantee that Minghui would not be settled by the Queen
Therefore, any family with some wealth would rather marry Princess Kunze than Princess Minghui.
However, because the eldest princess Minghui was the legitimate daughter or the eldest daughter of the late emperor, her status was higher than that of the two eldest princesses Yun'an and Sui'an. Her consort should be higher than Zheng Fengfeng and Xie Wuzheng in terms of birth and appearance.
If the wishes of these families are not taken into consideration, then the most suitable candidate for Minghui's consort would be someone from a high-ranking family with both talent and appearance, good character and academics... This type of people are often arrogant and arrogant Qilinzi who are highly anticipated by their elders. Even if you don't even bother to rely on your wife's clan to get ahead, if you ask him to go to Shang Minghui, what's the difference between making a feud
Yun Fenghuang would probably have a headache when this matter came to him, let alone Gu Zhen.
But she didn't have to object yet, because Princess Minghui's parents were no longer alive, and her biological grandmother, the Queen Mother, had been too old to do anything for a long time. Of course, her brother and sister-in-law had to help with life-long affairs.
Even as the current sister-in-law, Gu Zhenhe should have taken the initiative to bring it up.
Now she needs the emperor to remind her that she has already failed in her duty.
If you continue to push back and forth with the emperor and refuse to accept this matter, then you are completely unqualified.
"... What kind of consort should I find for Her Royal Highness the Eldest Princess?" Gu Zhen looked solemn as he secretly made some calculations about the children of various families he knew. He really didn't have a clue, so he had to convene the left and right to discuss.
She herself was not a shrewd person, and her left and right sides were half a pound to eighty ounces. Even after the queen was named, the family sent two more capable people to serve in the palace. At this moment, she was still thinking, and after a while, she suggested to the queen: "How about inviting the elder?" Your Highness the Princess, come here and ask? Your Majesty has always doted on Your Highness the Eldest Princess. If Your Highness the Eldest Princess likes it, Your Majesty will not say anything?"
As long as Princess Minghui said it was okay, even if the emperor was dissatisfied, she could still blame it on herself, right
So Gu Zhen invited Minghui to Woxia Tower to have a talk, and asked in detail what this sister-in-law wanted to do.
However, Ming Hui talked about other things and didn't answer the question at all.
Seeing this, Gu Zhen had no choice but to clarify the topic to her: "His Majesty thought that His Highness was already in his prime, and was afraid of delaying His youth, so he ordered me to select good talents for His Highness. I don't know what His Highness has. idea?"
This was a normal question, especially because Gu Zhen was afraid that the eldest princess would be shy, so he asked everyone on the left and right to back off before speaking.
As a result, Minghui's expression suddenly changed when she heard this, and she slapped the table: "What? Your Majesty doesn't like me, does he think I am getting in the way by staying in the palace?"
