Empress Dowager Yuan immediately looked at Yun Fenghuang, who was also slightly surprised when she saw it, but she didn't believe it in her heart, thinking that this little Yun must be faking it!
It's just that it's in public view, so it's hard to blame her immediately... She thought about it and said: "I feel a little dizzy. I'm afraid that if I continue to stay, it will disturb the Queen Mother's interest. Why don't I go to Jiuying Pavilion to rest for a while? stop."
"Then go ahead." The Empress Dowager nodded lightly, "After all, you two have been together on the sickbed for a long time, and you don't look as healthy as the Ai family."
Before Queen Mother Yuan could speak, she asked Queen Mother Qu if she was okay
Empress Dowager Qu smiled slightly and said, "I think it's okay to thank the Empress Dowager for thinking about it."
"Then Kunze is taking good care of her. If you feel unwell, go and lie down for a while. There are ready-made pavilions on the left and right islands." The Empress Dowager said this immediately, obviously not giving up to the Empress Dowager Yuan's suggestion to let Princess Kunze The opportunity to accompany her to Jiuying Pavilion.
However, Queen Mother Yuan did not want to call Princess Kunze away at this moment, but said: "Then let your concubine accompany me to Jiuying Pavilion."
Everyone was a little surprised when they heard this. They didn't know why Yun Fenghuang was involved in this matter
The Empress Dowager quickly came to her senses and said with a playful expression, "My concubine, are you willing?"
"I obey." Under the watchful eyes of everyone, the Queen Mother Yuan could not cause trouble for the imperial concubine. The imperial concubine could not say that she did not want to accompany her loving mother the Queen Mother to have a rest. After all, she was not the princess of Kunze and needed to take care of the Queen Mother Qu. She is not the main palace. She will wait for someone to come and need help.
So he had to stand up and help Queen Mother Yuan to leave.
At this time, because they were looking at each other from all directions, the two of them looked relatively warm and natural. When they left the palace gate, their faces became cold.
Empress Dowager Yuan asked solemnly: "Did you pick this thing?"
"I don't understand what the empress is talking about?"
"All your glory comes from the Emperor. You know clearly that Ji's humble maid is uneasy and kind to the Emperor, but you still instigate Qu to seek help from the remnants of the Ji family. How can you be so cruel and despicable that you deserve the favor given to you by the Emperor? !" Queen Mother Yuan quickly walked a few steps up to the rockery not far away, and sneered, "Stop pretending to be confused with the Ai family!"
Yun Fenghuang said softly: "What you said, I just saw the Queen Mother speaking for the Queen Mother, and I felt strange. The Queen Mother, the Queen Mother, has always lived in seclusion, but when did she come into the eyes of the Queen Mother? What? It’s really puzzling.”
"If you hadn't persuaded the Naqu clan to get this, how could they have contacted Qingci Palace without anyone noticing?" Empress Dowager Yuan didn't believe her words at all, and determined that Yun Fenghuang was the culprit, "Are you sure Since the emperor loves you so much, he won’t care about anything with you, right?!”
Yun Fenghuang said calmly: "The Queen Mother, you are a loving mother and the Queen Mother. People like me respect you very much. But, the Queen Mother, the Queen Mother, is also the Queen Mother and one of His Majesty's mothers! Speaking of which, you Both of them are just living in the palace, who is nobler than the other? The only serious elder in this palace is the Empress Dowager. You have always believed that you are the legitimate wife of King Fuyang, and you bully the Queen Mother, The Queen Mother is kind-hearted and can't stand it any longer. What's the problem with pulling the Queen Mother? In this situation, if you and the Queen Mother hadn't argued in public on the pier, embarrassing the princess, How can the Queen Mother intervene?"
"In the end, this is your own fault."
"Furthermore, the Queen Mother broke up a fight with her poor relatives in her own home. Even if she was biased, it was blameless."
"What qualifications do you have to doubt this or that?"
"I'll just tell you the truth. You were just humiliated by the Queen Mother, but you couldn't do anything about it, so you wanted to use me as a punching bag."
"But why do you have to be so pretentious and insist on charging me with a crime?"
"Anyway, who in the palace doesn't know how you treat your concubine?"
"..." Queen Mother Yuan was simply stunned. She stopped suddenly, looked straight at Yun Fenghuang, and said in a trembling voice, "You... what did you say?!"
She knew that Xiaoyun was very courageous, daring to think, do, and speak, but she never expected that this noble concubine would dare to say such a thing!
In front of her!
Empress Dowager Yuan didn't know at this moment whether she should be angry at Yun Fenghuang's words or outraged by her contempt
Yun Fenghuang met her disbelieving gaze and smiled slightly: "I said, you are His Majesty's most respected and loving mother, the Empress Dowager. What do you want to do with me? But why do you have to search so hard to find one? What’s the reason?!”
"You bitch!!!" Empress Dowager Yuan felt that all the blood in her body rushed to her brain. She raised her hand and drew it away without hesitation... However, Yun Fenghuang, who had been on guard for a long time, dodged away and said calmly: "My loving mother, the Empress Dowager, usually teaches me, and I dare not ignore it. But today, the front and back palaces are all gathered together, and I just walked out of the Empress Dowager just fine. Ruoguo is face to face. If you go back with traces on your body, I'm afraid you won't be able to deal with it, and your Majesty won't be the one in trouble then?"
"The empress dowager, your loving mother, is just like me. She depends on your majesty to live a prosperous life in this palace, but why do you always cause trouble to your majesty?"
"Empress, Empress Dowager!" Because the terrain of Little Square Hut is rugged, you can't walk more than two steps, you have to climb up and down. The various steps and trails are mostly steep, and the concubines' dresses are luxurious, and they meander to the ground when they step. The people below were afraid of stepping on the hem of the skirt and causing the master to fall or make a fool of himself, so they deliberately kept a distance.
At this moment, he saw that the two people were standing still, and the situation was not quite right, so he hurriedly followed him. As he got closer, he found that Queen Mother Yuan was livid, and the imperial concubine had an indifferent expression. She couldn't help but feel a little at a loss, "Is this?"
Empress Dowager Yuan stared at Yun Fenghuang with lightning eyes, and her fingers in her sleeves were trembling slightly. She just wanted to go up and tear the imperial concubine into pieces! ! !
But after taking several deep breaths, she finally calmed down. She didn't answer anyone's words, but just stretched out her arms with a sullen face: "There is still a long way to go to Jiuying Pavilion. It is rugged and steep here, so I need to trouble you, imperial concubine."
"What did the Empress Dowager say?" Yun Fenghuang also quickly changed his face and returned to his smiling face. He stepped forward to support her and said softly, "It is my blessing that the empress does not despise me. .”
She sighed secretly, very disappointed.
Of course she didn't make those disrespectful remarks out of anger, but did so on purpose.
She just wanted Empress Dowager Yuan to do something irrational in anger... In this way, her next plan with Empress Dowager Qu would go more smoothly.
But Queen Mother Yuan is not stupid either.
Although Concubine Min had always made her unhappy, and she had dared to do tricks in the past by calling people to Chunwu Palace to punish her by kneeling down, but because of Chunjia's respect for her adoptive mother, she did not dare to be very disobedient.
Today, this person suddenly spoke in such an unpleasant way, and every word struck a chord in the heart of the Queen Mother. Who would believe her if she said she had no other purpose
So she calmed down her anger, forced herself to calm down, and brought Yun Fenghuang to Jiuying Pavilion as if nothing had happened.
This place is not very big, but the architecture is quite exquisite.
There are plum trees in all directions. If it is the right season, it must be very spectacular.
But now, there are no flowers on the trees, and the thick shade in midsummer has been destroyed by the autumn wind, making it look very desolate.
Queen Mother Yuan looked at this scene, her lips moved a few times and then stopped, as if she had originally planned to say a few words to ridicule Yun Fenghuang, but she was not sure that it was Concubine Min who was angry in the end, so she decided not to stir up trouble.
When the two of them entered and sat down, the servants who had followed them went to the back to look for tea sets, spring water, etc., and began to pack them up to serve them.
After sitting in silence for a while, Queen Mother Yuan finally spoke: "Go back to the main hall."
"The Queen Mother came here to rest because of her disobedience. How can I leave you behind to go back to the banquet alone?" Yun Fenghuang sat motionless and said softly, "I will stay with you for a while longer, and we will go back together. .”
Queen Mother Yuan closed her eyes and ignored her.
After a while, there was some movement outside, and the palace attendant came in to report, saying that Chunjia had gone to the main hall to pay her respects. He learned that Empress Dowager Yuan was not feeling well, so she came to visit before the banquet started.
"Your Majesty, come in with the Aijia!" Not long after, Chunjia, who was dressed neatly and neatly, came in. Seeing Yun Fenghuang underneath, she didn't pay much attention and hurriedly asked Queen Mother Yuan what was wrong.
The Queen Mother didn't say much, she stood up directly, walked towards the inner room, and ordered, "My concubine, please stay outside for the Ai family!"
Yun Fenghuang, who had just stood up from the chair, did not feel guilty. He responded gracefully, sat back down and drank tea calmly.
After all, Jiuying Pavilion is a royal pavilion, so the soundproofing is very good.
After the Queen Mother brought Chun Jia in, she could not hear any movement. After a while, the door was opened again. Chun Jia helped the Queen Mother Yuan, whose eyes were red, to come out. Her face was not so good, and she looked at Yun Fenghuang with a look in her eyes. He scolded him, but he glanced at the palace people around him and didn't say anything about the imperial concubine. He just discussed with the queen mother softly: "The banquet over there is about to start. Can my child accompany you first?"
Empress Dowager Yuan said calmly: "Will Shan Huanger accompany the Ai family?"
"..." Chunjia hesitated for a moment and then said, "Of course."
Then he looked at Yun Fenghuang and asked her to stay in Jiuying Hall to reflect in a calm tone, "I am too busy to talk to you now. I will wait until the banquet is over before I discuss the crime with you!"
The attendants on Yun Fenghuang's side were all shocked when they heard this, but the imperial concubine herself looked calm. She stepped forward to bless her and said, "I obey my command."
So the emperor helped Empress Dowager Yuan leave. When he crossed the threshold, he quickly turned back and saw that the imperial concubine had already sat back in the chair, looking at the floor tiles not far away expressionlessly, with a somewhat complicated expression.
After the Tian family's mother and son had gone away, the Qing people hurriedly asked: "Empress, what's going on?"
"As a mother, do you need a reason for wanting a concubine in your son's kitchen?" Yun Fenghuang said lightly, "You go out and let me rest for a while."
After hearing the words, the left and right looked at each other, not daring to say anything more: "Yes."
... The palace people filed out and left the door ajar. Yun Fenghuang was the only one left in the room, sitting in deep thought.
She is actually not too panicked now, because although what she just said to Empress Dowager Yuan is too much, if Chunjia hears it, she will definitely not give up easily, but... Didn't Chunjia not hear it personally
Even the servants serving the two people didn't hear much.
That is, she never said anything, it was all the Queen Mother who was making things difficult for her.
Anyway, just wait to coax the emperor.
She has done this kind of thing not once or twice, and she has become somewhat comfortable with it.
What she was thinking about at the moment was the matter between Kunze and Yun Shizi. If what she expected was true, Queen Mother Yuan's previous plan was to take advantage of this banquet to make a fuss.
But now that Queen Mother Qu and the Queen Mother have joined forces, it is hard to say whether Queen Mother Yuan will change her plan.
Yun Fenghuang definitely wanted to stop this matter. Not only did she want to stop this matter, she also had other plans.
Being punished to reflect here now is a good time to sort out my thoughts.
... But he didn't stay alone for too long. After three rounds of drinking in the main palace, someone from the palace came to report cautiously, saying that Concubine De was here and brought some drinks.
"Sister, what's going on?" Concubine De still had a smile on her face when she climbed up the rockery where Jiuying Pavilion was located. Seeing that the people serving the concubine were all outside with downcast and serious expressions, she became serious. At this moment, she was allowed to enter and put the food in. Putting the box on the table, he quickly asked, "Just now, Your Majesty accompanied your loving mother, the Empress Dowager, to the table. He said that you accidentally sprained your foot on the way here, so you had to stay at Jiuying Hall to clean it up... Is this?"
Yun Fenghuang did not hide anything: "On the way here, the Empress Dowager was suspicious that I was inciting the Queen Mother Qu to join forces with the Empress Dowager to make her lose face. She said a few words to me. My excuses probably made the Empress Dowager unhappy. Just now Your Majesty came to visit, and the Queen Mother, the loving mother, took Your Majesty into the inner room to talk for a while. After coming out, Your Majesty asked me to stay and reflect, and there was no need to go to the banquet."
After hearing this, Concubine De quickly scolded the empress dowager in a low voice: "Not to mention that there is no basis for saying this, even if it is true, isn't the empress dowager the mother of your majesty? The empress dowager has a destiny, Can my sister still disobey? The Mother Queen Mother is really unhappy, why not go find fault with the Mother Queen Mother, but she has been wronged!"
"Don't talk about this." Yun Fenghuang sighed softly, "But it doesn't matter if I stay here for a while. Why are you here? I'm afraid I won't be happy to see my loving mother, the Queen Mother."
"There are so many people today, and it's not a little lively for my sister." Concubine De actually felt a little regretful in her heart. She didn't know why, thinking that Yun Fenghuang didn't go to the banquet just because of his sprained foot, and maybe Her appearance was ruined, and she was afraid of losing face in public, so she didn't show up. She was thinking about how at this time, as the sister who has the best relationship with the imperial concubine in the harem, she could ignore it and just eat at the table. What about drinking
So while the banquet was getting a little more lively, I hurriedly asked the palace servants to pack up some food and bring it over to show my appreciation.
In order to prevent other people from sharing this friendship, she even specially instigated people to trip up concubines such as the Yi family, the Qu family, the Jia family, etc. who also loved Yun Fenghuang.
Now that I know the truth, I realize that maybe I will become a thorn in the side of the empress dowager, the loving mother after the imperial concubine!
The problem is that the imperial concubine is very popular and has a deep palace. The empress dowager, a loving mother, has been dissatisfied with her for a long time and there is nothing she can do about it. She does not have the ability...
But I have come, and if I hesitate for a moment, I am afraid that I will offend Empress Dowager Yuan, and I will not settle down in front of the imperial concubine.
Concubine De knew this, so she immediately said, "Besides, no matter how lively the banquet is, without my sister present, it won't be interesting in my eyes."
After saying this, seeing Yun Fenghuang smile slightly, I suddenly felt more relieved. I felt that there was no need to scare myself. Although the Queen Mother Yuan was not easy to provoke, she was loved by the imperial concubine. When the Queen Mother Yuan looked for trouble later, she was still afraid. Doesn't Sister Min protect herself
Just when he was secretly feeling that he was really witty and sharp, who would have thought that just as he finished speaking, another palace official came to report that it was Yi Shi and several other concubines who had come to see Yun Fenghuang...
