Yun Fenghuang said before Chunjia could speak: "Although Your Majesty loves and protects Princess Minghui, His Majesty cannot understand it. Instead, he treats Your Majesty as an enemy. If such tolerance can gain Your Highness's understanding in the future. , that’s all. But Your Majesty clearly knows that Her Royal Highness the Eldest Princess is actually not young anymore. She is the eldest daughter of the late emperor. Not to mention His Royal Highnesses Yun’an and Sui’an have already disappeared, His Royal Highness Princess Yun’an is even pregnant. Liujia, she will give birth soon! She is old enough to be a mother, but she is still acting so wantonly... "
She sighed, "Your Majesty, when the late emperor passed away, the three eldest princesses were all very young. Your Majesty, as an heir, as the saying goes, elder brothers are like fathers. If you don't discipline your eldest princesses, that will be the consequences. It’s unimaginable!”
Gu Zhen's mouth twitched slightly as he listened. He wanted to explain that Hui was clearly targeting you, the imperial concubine. What's your relationship with the emperor
But Chunjia's face was as dark as water, and this expression made all the concubines who felt that they were not so favored did not dare to interrupt without permission.
"I know." Chunjia actually knew that Yun Fenghuang was trying to pull him into trouble, but he understood that what the imperial concubine said made sense.
Because he received the throne from the late Emperor Xiaozong, and because his biological father died early, and because of the weak body of King Fuyang Duan before his death, he was not very close to his only male heir. Therefore, he has gratitude and affection for his successor whom he has never met.
Therefore, although they are not truly obedient to the three Minghui sisters, and everything depends on their temperament, they do their best to protect them within the scope of not hindering themselves.
Especially the various rebellious actions of his biological sister Minghui, because in fact they did not really shake Chunjia's power. He came with an attitude of tolerance and tolerance.
Looking at the current harem, the only people who could make him give in so willingly now were the two empress dowagers, and his peers were Yun Fenghuang and Minghui.
Anyone else who dares to make the emperor suffer this anger is probably because they don't want to live their lives anymore.
But Minghui didn't know whether he didn't understand this truth, or he understood it too well. Not only did he make trouble at the court meeting in the past, but now he even made trouble at the osmanthus appreciation banquet.
So what about next time
She is the noble eldest princess and can attend many occasions.
Is it possible that she should be allowed to attend banquets and cause trouble every time in the future? Not to mention how disappointing it is and how embarrassing it is for the Tian family, the most important thing is that it will make the outside world think that Chunjia is weak, and even a younger sister can't do anything about it.
How can such an emperor inspire awe in people
Chunjia will never allow such doubts to arise.
Moreover, Minghui’s fuss this time is different from last time. Last time, everyone with a discerning eye knew that the eldest princess was used as a weapon by the regent. Although this would make everyone think that the eldest princess was not so smart and clever, she was still naive and ignorant. Not so annoying.
But this time, Minghui first went to make trouble for the imperial concubine, and then accused the important minister Yunzhao of not caring about anything, which made the courtiers, especially those who were close to Chunjia, taboo.
Yun Fenghuang can bet that Chunjia and the royalist ministers will definitely not treat this as a disharmony between the eldest princess and the noble concubine.
Most of what they were thinking was that since the eldest princess had started to target the ministers, would it be Duke Yi today and Ouyang Yanran tomorrow? Will it be Yin Qu and others’ turn the day after tomorrow
The impression that Her Royal Highness the Eldest Princess gave to the former harem was that before commoner Ji Sheng left, she was probably the most carefree and noble person in the world.
A real gem.
The only trouble is probably being too plump.
After Ji Sheng, a common man, passed away, he was ignored by people for a while due to various turmoils. But when the temple became troubled, everyone remembered him and did not dare to neglect him.
At that time, Minghui was mainly targeting Yun Fenghuang, which made everyone think that it was just a conflict between the female relatives of the Tian family. It had no direct relationship with them and was not a big deal.
Therefore, many people supported the eldest princess Minghui at that time and believed that out of gratitude and filial piety to Xiaozong, the emperor should hand over his favorite concubine to the eldest princess to vent his anger.
After all, how could a mere concubine compare with the late Emperor's flesh and blood
Now that Ming Hui is targeting themselves, they won't think so anymore.
They will think that the eldest princess is too pampered. Why is she just an eldest princess intervening in the previous dynasty and dragging important ministers into trouble for her own selfish interests
This is an attempt to disrupt Chaozuna!
The most important thing is that the Duke Yi Guo she is targeting is not only the nominal head of Yun Fenghuang's natal family, but also one of Chunjia's staunchest supporters.
Therefore, was Minghui's move caused by his own confusion and impulsiveness, or was he instigated by the regent
The competition between uncles and nephews in the Tian family is such a big matter that there is no room for neglect.
So no matter what Chunjia and the royalists think, they must be prepared for the instigation of political enemies behind Minghui, so as not to be caught off guard.
Therefore, without Yun Fenghuang mentioning it, Chunjia would not let Minghui continue to cause such unscrupulous troubles.
This is not only because he doesn’t want to be troubled by this sister anymore, but also because he loves Minghui as his brother. He is worried that she will get used to making troubles and cause things that he can’t smooth things over for her anymore. He will teach Jiuquanxia when the time comes. Xiaozong was sad.
"I will beat Minghui. You have all been wronged today." Chunjia pinched the center of his eyebrows and said softly, "Qingshu and Roukun are doing well today. The Queen will reward them for seeing their good life."
Gu Zhen quickly agreed.
Cui Lianye lowered her eyebrows and came up calmly to thank her, but Rou Kun had disappointment on her face.
Chunjia noticed it and muttered slightly: "I will come to see you later. You should go back first."
Rou Kun was immediately happy, saluted happily, and then left happily with her hands behind her back.
The concubines in the palace did not care about the emperor's promise, including Yun Fenghuang. Originally, Cui Lianye and Rou Kun came out to smooth things over today, and the emperor should also go to them to show his appreciation.
And Roukun is young. According to the imperial doctor's advice, Chunjia will not have anything to do with her if she goes away. He is just trying to coax her, so naturally no one will get jealous.
"Minghui went to see you today. Do you really suspect that you interfered in her marriage?" Chunjia dismissed Roukun and asked Yunfenghuang again.
Yun Fenghuang said: "That's not all. She also said that she didn't like Yunxi Guest. I told her that there was no way His Majesty could treat her badly. Although I had never seen that Yunxi Guest before, but today His performance at the table is also promising, and he will definitely not offend His Highness. But His Highness couldn't listen and only said..."
She hesitated.
Chunjia motioned for her to continue.
"What His Highness means is that she will not trust anyone or anything that is decided by His Majesty or my concubine."
When these words were spoken, even if it was said by the most favored concubine, everyone felt that Chun Jiatong felt a little cold all over.
"Your Majesty, calm down." Gu Zhen quickly advised upon seeing this, "The biological mother of Her Royal Highness the Eldest Princess was a commoner Ji Sheng. I am not a concubine to judge the merits of a deceased person. But your Majesty, please think about it. Ji Sheng, a commoner, was originally very clever. If you are not upright, how can you teach your Royal Highness the Princess to be knowledgeable and sensible? Your Highness is also confused. Your Majesty is magnanimous. Don’t let your Royal Highness be so angry because of His Majesty.”
Chunjia laughed and said, "She thinks the person I picked for her is not good, so what can she say about her plans?"
"Your Highness didn't say it. Your Highness just pestered me to get rid of Yunxi Guest for her, but how could this be possible?" Yun Fenghuang shook his head and said, "So I persuaded her a few words in turn, and also He mentioned the late emperor and said that the late emperor had no children. Since your majesty is the heir and the flesh and blood of the late emperor, why would your highness not help your majesty but instead help others? This is really unreasonable. After all, what did your highness have that was not given by the late emperor? Then your highness became angry. Yes, just throw your hands and leave."
Gu Zhen felt that the concubine's words were somewhat different from what she had said to him before, but after thinking about it carefully, they were roughly the same. At this moment, he nodded slightly and said, "Your Majesty, that's exactly what happened. When Her Royal Highness Princess Minghui walked away, I happened to meet her and said hello to her. However, His Highness was in a bad mood at the time and ignored me. Later, I was worried and went to Nuange to ask the imperial concubine about the matter, and the imperial concubine also said the same thing. "
"Your Majesty, I think Her Royal Highness Princess Minghui is really unruly." Concubine Shu stood up and said, "Even if she is a noble person, what is the status of the Queen? According to family law, the Queen is also her sister-in-law. The Queen is her sister-in-law. He took the initiative to greet her, but instead of stopping to answer the question, she ignored him and left. If this matter spread, I'm afraid the outside world would talk about the Tian family's lack of rules, which would not be good for His Highness or the palace. .”
"Yes, Your Majesty, I also feel that Her Royal Highness the Eldest Princess is a little too arrogant." Now that the imperial concubine is taking the lead, everyone can see Chunjia's attitude. She is no longer so protective of Minghui and does not allow everyone to tolerate everything. , don’t argue with Ming Hui, at least he plans to start punishing her, so what else can she say? Of course, they followed the words of the emperor, queen, concubines and others.
For a while, Chunjia heard all kinds of things about Princess Minghui.
Everything from personality to origin to conduct to dressing up was picked out and picked on.
He sighed in his heart, wondering why this sister is so confused
You must know that three people can make a difference, and even if she is the legitimate daughter of the late emperor, why can't she secretly do something if she is not ready to do anything
He offended so many people at once. Even if he still wanted to defend himself, how could he not consider other people's feelings
After all, to the emperor, the queen, his wife and other concubines were also very important.
There was no way he could hang around Princess Minghui alone.
"Minghui is the granddaughter of the Empress Dowager after all. I can't say anything to her directly. I will go see the Empress Dowager later and talk to the Empress Dowager." Chunjia thought about taking this opportunity to give Minghui something. The color looks good, so that she doesn’t know the heights of the world.
I just don’t know what the Queen Mother would think or do
If the Empress Dowager intends to protect her granddaughter, then Chun Jiaming won't be able to do anything on her face.
On this day, Chunjia asked everyone what happened and then asked everyone to go back to the palace.
The group of people took several boats back to the harem. Chunjia went to Mrs. Roukun as promised. Yunfenghuang immediately ordered someone to summon Jia Pingye after returning to Xuanqing Palace.
Everyone was surprised: "Isn't the empress going to summon Mrs. Qingshu?"
"Cui has nothing to say. After all, she owed a favor this time and will pay it back in the future." Yun Fenghuang shook his head and said, "As for asking her how she remembered what she just said and why she had to stand up. , and also took Rou Kun with him... This is also easy to guess. It is just that he feels that he is not my opponent after all, and today is a good opportunity to clear up the past. Anyway, he just stood up and said a few words, even if I don't appreciate it, His Majesty will at least leave the impression that she is smart and sensible, right? As for inviting Rou Kun, she probably felt that Rou Kun was sitting next to her, and it was just a good time to withdraw as a personal ID, and it was also a convenient favor. "
"Then why did the empress summon Mrs. Jia?" After thinking about it for a while, she asked again, "Today's matter seems to have nothing to do with Mr. Jia?"
Jia Pingye suddenly became much timid after her two patrons collapsed.
When he arrived in front of Yun Fenghuang, he was even more respectful.
So the waiters at Xuanqing Palace think that Jia Pingye might not have the guts to cause trouble now
"My summoning of her has nothing to do with today's matters." Yun Fenghuang said, "I have other things to see her for... You have spent so much time summoning people here for me early in the morning. !”
He smiled awkwardly and hurriedly went out to make arrangements.
So after a while, Jia Pingye, who had not completely removed her makeup, walked into the Huanhua Hall uneasily.
Yun Fenghuang glanced at her, offered her a seat, ordered people to serve tea and then left. Only the second concubine was left in the palace. She asked straight to the point: "How is your relationship with Lu Qidao?"
Jia Pingye, like Yun Fenghuang's waiters, all thought that they were summoned here to appreciate the turmoil at the Gui Banquet.
At this moment, he was slightly startled when he heard the words, and then he said: "Returning to the empress, at that time, I and she had their own masters. Although they seemed to come and go frequently because of their status, in fact, they didn't have much close friendship."
This is for sure. The person standing behind Lu Qidao in a high position at that time was the current Queen Gu Zhen, and where was Jia Pingye? First, it was the former imperial concubine Zheng, and then she directly relied on the former empress.
Everyone has a backer, but the backers are not very harmonious, and it would not be possible to mix honey with oil.
"Even if we don't have any close friendship, after all, we have been together in the palace for many years and often go in and out together. It is impossible that we don't know everything, right?" Yun Fenghuang looked at her and said slowly, "Lu Qidao is the righteous brother of the former Qingping Marquis Lu Chuncao. daughter, and Lu Chuncao was served by the common man Ji Sheng. Do you think they, father and daughter, know many secrets about the common man Ji Sheng?"
Jia Pingye hesitated: "This..."
She couldn't tell what the concubine was thinking, so she didn't dare to say or do anything.
After hesitating for a moment, Yun Fenghuang's sharp gaze turned out to be nothing more than that, and he said calmly, "I have heard a few things, but they are all insignificant."
He just told a few secrets that he knew, which were nothing more than some little hobbies of Ji Sheng and the late Emperor Xiaozong.
Yun Fenghuang was not satisfied: "These two have already gone, why should I care about these? I only ask you, don't you have some quirks and roots of the people who are still alive?"
Seeing that Jia Pingye still didn't quite understand, she said meaningfully, "I remember that Princess Minghui didn't seem to be so obese in the first place. It was Ji Sheng, a common man, who kept forcing her to take medicine and meat, so she remained so. It looks like that. Do you know the reason?"
