Although the Jiuying Pavilion was not too cramped, it suddenly seemed crowded with the arrival of several principals and their waiters.
When Yun Fenghuang saw it, he was a little bit dumbfounded and said, "Why are you all here? Why don't you just ask for a quiet place to sit like this?"
"I heard that the empress is injured, and I am very anxious. How can I care about other things?" Yi Xing'en heard the words and said first, "I wonder if the empress has summoned the imperial doctor? How is Ruming's condition?"
Qu Hongzhuan was a step late, Yingdong was annoyed, and followed up with greetings and inquiries. The concubines' words had the same meaning both inside and outside. They did not focus on banquets, but the health of the noble concubine.
For those concubines who were not close to Yun Fenghuang, even Empress Gu couldn't get away, so she specially sent her attendants to express condolences, saying that if the concubine was really uncomfortable, it would be better to arrange a boat to send her back to Xuanqing Palace to rest.
"I'm just a little sick, it's not a big deal." Of course, Queen Yunfeng Huangcuo's valet couldn't tell the truth. Anyway, she was walking on a chair with her skirt lowered to the floor. If she didn't say anything, outsiders wouldn't be able to tell whether she was good or bad. He said, "I'll feel better after resting for a while."
After sending the people sent by Gu Zhen, he looked around at his cronies and followers, and then asked about Mingyue's banquet.
Qu Hongzhuan was the first to speak that time, saying that there was nothing new in Ming Yue's banquet. It was almost the same as before. At that time, because she had been drinking for three rounds, the Empress Dowager was getting older and she felt tired after just a few drinks, so she quickly Accompanied by Chunjia, he went to rest at the back.
As soon as the grandfather and grandson left, the two empress dowagers quickly found reasons to leave the table.
This will make you feel more relaxed... Those who are walking in the main hall are either palace concubines or important ministers. They are all accompanying guests tomorrow, so that's fine. Those who are sitting outside are more lively.
Qu Hongzhuan expressed implicitly that on the way they came, they met several groups of people who came to greet them. They were all young ladies from a certain family or young men from a certain family. The reasons were all the same. They were all too drunk in the middle of the banquet. , I want to take a break.
The reality is whether we are looking for each other.
When that topic was mentioned, the atmosphere in Jiuying Hall became much more relaxed, and everyone was a little joking.
Yun Fenghuang also laughed and asked jokingly: "What does it mean to be outstanding? He also gives us the eyes of the sisters and brothers in our family."
Yi Xing'en and Qu Hongzhuan were from a humble background, and their brothers and sisters were not qualified to get married to someone who would come to the banquet tomorrow. Hearing this, he smiled but said nothing.
Concubine De said: "I just saw what the Queen is saying, is she planning to find the east side of Princess Minghui's palace? In this case, we might as well avoid it."
"It's not just the eldest princess." Jia Pingye, who had never found a chance to speak, continued to say, "Didn't the Empress Dowager also say it just now? It's time for Princess Kunze to discuss the marriage, and tomorrow the Empress Dowager and the others Are you afraid that you can also ask the princess to take a look at her, so she doesn’t know which of her children is so lucky?"
A group of people had a discussion about the marriage of the two golden people. Seeing that it was about the same time, Yun Fenghuang asked them to go back and sit down together: "Even if everyone can't accompany the guests tomorrow, that doesn't mean that they will be left alone all the time. Xi, let the queen handle the situation alone, let's go. I will stay there for a while."
Hearing this, all the concubines except Concubine De also wondered a little. Is the reason why the concubine didn't show up at the table just now, maybe she had some extraneous affair
Otherwise, after chatting for a long time, I didn’t see the imperial doctor, I didn’t smell the ointment, and the imperial concubine didn’t show any signs of discomfort... Why do you want to stay in the Jiuying Pavilion instead of having a feast with them
But the imperial concubine didn't say anything, and they didn't dare to ask any more questions, so they just said: "I obey my orders."
Not long after they left one after another, another person came from the main hall. The waiter in front of Chunjia carefully asked Yun Fenghuang to go to the Nuan Pavilion at the back of the main hall and shut up.
"Didn't I sprain my ankle? How can I get past the rugged and steep road of the small square pot?" Yun Fenghuang was noncommittal when he heard the words, so he said slowly, "When the time comes, if the emperor loses his etiquette, it will be a joke, no? After the banquet is over, go to Taichu Palace to apologize."
The waiter had just accompanied Chunjia to the Jiuying Pavilion. Hearing this, he went to apologize and said with a smile: "Is your Majesty very angry with Your Majesty? In fact, Your Majesty asked Your Majesty to stay here, so he couldn't coax the Queen Mother. It's just an expedient measure. Well, the Queen Mother is going to rest at that time. Your Majesty is worried that you will be exhausted there, so he asked your servant to invite you over."
Because Yun Fenghuang was unmoved when he heard this, he took two steps forward and whispered, "Your Majesty and others have set up a table by themselves in the Nuan Pavilion, and they are just waiting for the Queen."
"How can I be so virtuous as to ask Bidong to be so ruthless?" Yun Fenghuang was saying that, but his body was still walking motionless, and he said, "Moreover, will the empress dowager, the loving mother, leave the table temporarily to rest?" I will definitely ask you to go to the banquet later. If you know about this, I am afraid that you will be more and more unwilling to give up. By then, will you have a headache? Forget it. After the banquet is over, I will meet my loving mother again. The Queen Mother will please forgive me."
Just let him go back and report to Chunjia.
The waiter tried to persuade her again and again, but when she saw that she was resolute and did not dare to force her, she had to leave.
After he left, everyone couldn't help but worry that Yun Fenghuang's move would offend the emperor.
After everyone pushed and pushed for a while, Jiang Lai took the lead and tactfully reminded the imperial concubine that although the emperor had always been cruel to Huaqing Palace, the empress dowager was different after all.
"I know clearly in my heart, so we don't need to talk too much." However, Yun Fenghuang remained unmoved and told them to shut up and stop making noise.
The people in the palace were hesitating, not wanting the previous foreign attendant to leave and come back. Several people were following behind them. Several people from the Qing Dynasty took a closer look and hurriedly went to prostrate themselves on the ground to welcome the Holy Master.
"Why did Bidong come here in person?" Yun Fenghuang was inside and was not noticed by them for a while. He noticed the movement and looked sideways. He slowly got up from his chair and said, "Is it the place in the main hall?" Is there no one around? You even managed to get away."
Chunjia first waved his legs to ask everyone to retreat to the east rockery, and then sighed: "He knew that if only a foreign servant came to invite me, he would not be able to invite me over."
"Bidong said it as if I was showing off how big my body is."
"What's going on tomorrow?" Chunjia pinched her eyebrows and asked a little tiredly, "I've always had a sense of propriety. Why should I provoke my mother when I'm having such a confinement tomorrow?"
Yun Fenghuang's face turned slightly cold, and he sneered: "Since Bi Dong has determined that everything is not my fault, why bother to ask me again? Why don't you just punish me directly?"
Seeing her like that, Chunjia had to soften her tone and coaxed her for a while. Seeing that the imperial concubine's expression softened slightly, she asked again what happened.
"Your Majesty has been in the main hall for a long time. How come you have come to ask me about my identity?" Yun Fenghuang said disapprovingly, "Isn't that the case anyway? I will be presented to you with the Queen early tomorrow morning. When the Queen Mother came to the island, she heard that the two Queen Mothers were arguing about whether Princess Kunze should accompany them to rest first. The princess was young and had no choice but to send someone to report to the Queen Mother to make a decision. ... No, the Empress Dowager took the opportunity to say a few words to the Mother Empress Dowager, and the Mother Empress Dowager said that the phoenix body was against the law, and begged me to accompany her to rest there? She just went out because she didn't want to, and the Mother Empress Dowager blamed me. , it would be too ridiculous to tell me whether I am swaying the Holy Mother Queen Mother to join forces with the Queen Mother to pay her... That would be too ridiculous!"
She raised her chin slightly and said, "I am a loving mother, the Queen Mother, but I can't stand it. I have never relied on the doting of the Queen Mother, but when did I ever rely on the Mother Queen Mother?"
Chunjia felt a dull pain in his forehead. As the saying goes, it is difficult for an upright official to take care of household affairs. He was caught between Queen Mother Yuan and Yun Fenghuang. Even though he was always praised for his wisdom and prowess, he couldn't help but feel anxious.
"The Queen Mother was in a hurry, so she did it on purpose." The emperor hesitated for a while, and quickly analyzed whether the experience was similar to the description given by the Queen Mother Yuan. As it turned out in the Queen Mother Yuan's mouth, it was indeed Yun Fenghuang's. He colluded with the Queen Mother Qu, joined forces with the Queen Mother, and worked together to pay her by mistake.
As for whether the imperial concubine is really secretly involved in Dongyin Legs...
The emperor thinks that Yun Fenghuang can do such a thing, but if not, it may not necessarily be mixed.
If there is no evidence, if Yun Fenghuang is blamed directly, if she is wronged, then the concubine will never suffer, and there is no telling what kind of trouble will happen.
So... he simply coaxed her first, "I don't want to argue with her because of his face."
Yun Fenghuang sneered and said: "When did I dare to argue with the Queen Mother? If you ask me to stay there and reflect, I will reflect on it. If you ask me to turn around and accuse me, I will not refuse!"
Chunjia sighed: "Isn't that what he said he was doing to show his mother? Does he really want to punish me? Does he know how to come over in person now?"
"Who knows if I feel sorry for my loving mother, the Empress Dowager, and come here to punish me before the banquet is over?" Yun Fenghuang snorted, turned his face to the side, and there were some tears in his eyes. Light.
"Is he such a restless person?" Chun Jiayu stretched out his legs to pull her, "That's all, on such an occasion tomorrow, my noble concubine never showed up and said she was just going to leave, and let him go later. Lord, when the banquet is over, I can make amends to my mother, and that’s it.”
Yun Fenghuang didn't shut up and cried silently.
The emperor was very embarrassed and said in a low voice: "Then...please I go back to the palace first and don't go out for two months. His mother-in-law asked me to be grounded? Anyway, I don't go out much."
Yun Fenghuang refused to shut up and continued to wipe his tears.
"..." Chunjia frowned and racked her brains. Before she could think of words to coax her, someone stumbled to the rockery to report: "Bidong, Bidong, something happened on the island!!!"
Hearing this, the emperor and the concubine were startled, and they glanced at each other unconsciously. They all had the same meaning in their eyes: "No, no, I did it?"
After a while, Chunjia asked in a deep voice: "What happened? Have you reported it to the main palace?"
The palace servant walked forward on his knees and answered tremblingly: "Because in the eyes of everyone, I have already informed the Empress Dowager and Empress Dowager in the main hall, all of you sirs."
As for what happened... He hesitated for a long time before saying with difficulty, "Xiangrui... Xiangrui just didn't feel well!"
"How could such good auspiciousness be so bad?" Yun Fenghuang stopped sobbing as soon as he came in. At this moment, he interrupted and asked, "What's wrong with this?"
The palace man said with a cry: "Just now, Xiangrui was eating grass and trees on a small cliff near the main palace. Several young ladies and gentlemen, including Princess Kunze, were in the pavilion on the cliff, shutting up and picking flowers. The young leaves were thrown to the east to be fed... Then suddenly a young lady discovered that Xiangrui was twitching in Didong and vomiting a lot of red foam from his mouth."
The young lady screamed in surprise, alerting the others, so she ran to tell the steward at the main hall.
If something went wrong with an ordinary deer, it would be nothing more than disturbing the mood.
But this is the auspiciousness of making a big contribution!
Who dares to neglect
As a result, the steward led people outside to report to the Empress Dowager and other nobles, and at the same time sent people to try to treat him.
However, the palace official who came to report the news tactfully said that when he came, Xiangrui had already taken in less air and had more air out, and it was visually determined whether he could be saved.
After all, Mingyue Xiaofanghu held a banquet, and no matter how thoughtful the queen and others who were in charge of organizing it had prepared all the medicinal materials, it was really unimaginable that they would also bring a few veterinarians along with them!
By the time the veterinarian received the news and rushed over from the Royal Beast Garden, he might have already died.
"The small square pot has a lot of vegetation. Maybe Xiangrui will eat something he shouldn't have eaten." Chunjia frowned for a moment and said slowly, "That's all, let's go and have a look."
In his heart, he didn't care at all whether the red deer meant auspiciousness, but since such things could be auspicious, it was obvious that there would always be some people in the East who would fall for that trick.
If something went wrong, there must be an explanation for whether or not something went wrong.
Don't take him there lightly, otherwise you won't know what words are coming from outside.
So he turned around, looked at Yun Fenghuang, whose eyes were suddenly red, and said warmly: "I will rest here, and he will come back when he goes."
"... I'm going to come over later, right?" Yun Fenghuang touched the tears on his face. His state would definitely arouse suspicion in front of others, but he also knew that if the good auspiciousness was gone, he would not be able to follow Chun. As Jia said, he mistakenly ate the plants and trees on the island that were not suitable for red deer. After all, he allowed Xiangrui to walk around the island as he pleased. In this case, why didn’t the palace officials check the small square pot first to avoid the problem? similar situation
There is probably a reason there.
… Speaking of which, there were two auspicious events from the Guo Dynasty to the Ming Dynasty, but none of the people in charge were easy to get off.
So let’s not talk about whether these auspicious signs will bring good things to the country. For them, if they become auspicious signs, their fate will not be very good...
She didn't want to miss the excitement, so she hesitated a little and said, "I'm not in good shape, I need to clean it up."
Chunjia knew that the concubine was a person, so she responded and left with her.
After he left, Qingren and others gathered around to tidy up Yun Fenghuang, twisted a handkerchief and put it on her face. They couldn't help but whisper, wondering who was so bold and bold that even Xiangrui would dare to poison her
"Perhaps as Bidong said, did he eat something by mistake?" Chie quickly underestimated, but was immediately retorted by Dane: "Isn't that auspicious! God is blessing me, how could I be so miserable? I Let’s think about the auspiciousness of the red tiger before. You don’t have to think about things like that. There must be some bad guy who interferes with it. If the auspiciousness is different, is it a warning?”
It was good that she didn't mention the red tiger. When she mentioned the red tiger, everyone kept silent, and they were all thinking in their hearts. They didn't know what kind of changes the former harem would ask for after the osmanthus appreciation banquet tomorrow
