Only when Yun Fenghuang returned to Xi Xingxuan did he remember that he had forgotten to confirm with Qi Jiulu whether the people behind the Chao family were in the Yiguo Palace...
Not only that, she even asked about Mr. Xie's current situation.
"Then why can't the bastard understand the priorities?!" Of course, Yun Fenghuang is absolutely wrong and will not admit that he delayed business just because he was jealous. This must deny Qi Jiulu's responsibility, "I haven't made any progress in three years!"
It wasn't long before dawn at that time. The Empress Dowager Ji was ill, so the Empress did not give her greetings in March. Tomorrow happened to be the fourth month. Yun Fenghuang pretended to lie down in the tent for a while, and then Xile called him to clean up.
"Empress Ji is already well, but she is not in good spirits, so we don't have to go there tomorrow." Empress Ji's short video was missing, but it actually seemed to be a little bit tiring. Yun Fenghuang secretly doubted whether she was okay. After being reprimanded in Mianfu Palace, I doubt that Empress Dowager Ji reprimanded her niece, but the concubines who entered the palace may have brought the reprimands of Duke Ye Guo and others.
The queen's spirit and mood seemed not to be very good. There was a gloomy expression between her brows, and she said lightly, "Who are the concubines who will be sleeping in the next two months? Let each be promoted one level."
Yun Qingman and two pretty concubines went out to express their gratitude.
Empress Ji didn't even bother to ask her name, she just asked Ji Donglai, the eldest palace maid next to her, and the matter just passed. The empress asked about the situation of Yanlan Palace again. When she learned that everything was fine with Concubine Zheng, she nodded slightly. She said a few words such as "That will make me feel at ease" and "I hope your concubine can give birth to Prince Dong for Your Majesty in peace and smoothly." Concubine Shu and others echoed in a circle, whether Empress Ji He picked up the tea bowl and signaled to see off the guests.
Yun Fenghuang walked out among the crowd, and the closer he got to the palace entrance, the more hesitant he was. At first he looked at people leaving, then turned back and told the palace people that he had something to report to the queen.
The palace servants took her to the side hall to wait. After waiting for a few hours, she was called to a warm pavilion at the back. Inside, Queen Ji had changed into regular clothes, and her expression was so gloomy that she couldn't cheer up. When Zhong saw Yun Fenghuang coming in to salute, he called out and rubbed his forehead and asked, "I heard from Didong people that I have been here in the past two months. What's the matter?"
"Your Majesty, I heard something from the people at Ningbi Palace." Yun Fenghuang lowered his head and said, "Did you tell me that the Qi family member who had been engaged to me before came to the Imperial Capital with his wife?"
"Oh?" Empress Ji said nonchalantly, "Although we were engaged, did we cancel it later? Then what should I worry about? Could it be that I miss the Qi family very much?"
Yun Fenghuang went to say, "What's the matter? Originally, when I was young, I couldn't be a playmate, and I didn't understand anything. Later, the two families broke up and broke up, and the bad feelings were established. Otherwise, strangers would be relieved. , In fact, we have become enemies. Are you worried about me? Is this something that Yuan Shi asked to cause trouble? Otherwise, why are you talking to me about this? "
The queen said "Yes" and said, "I am in the palace like a stranger, and I can't see the Qi family. Take care of the people around you and don't get tricked. Then you can't argue with me. Others, I have the power to make the decision for me, so what should I be afraid of?"
"Thank you, Your Majesty." Yun Fenghuang knew that those words might not count, but he could not help but look like he was relieved and kowtow to express his gratitude, "I am brave, and I would like to ask Your Majesty to take care of your body."
"Did I look bad in the past two months?" Empress Ji touched her face consciously when she heard Yandong, sighed, and said, "Maybe she's a little tired."
Without waiting for Yun Fenghuang to say anything else, he waved his legs to signal her to retreat.
Yun Fenghuang frowned slightly when he left Yanfu Palace. Xile looked around and saw that there was no one around, and whispered comfort: "The Imperial City Division has always been in the emperor's lap, and it is difficult for the Ji family to get involved. What happened last night, the empress You definitely won’t know.”
"If he didn't believe in the prince's ability, he wouldn't have gone to meet him last night." Yun Fenghuang shook his head, "I just told the queen like that, so I was on guard against Ningbi Palace... After all, could Aunt Zhu be the first to follow me? He mentioned Qi Jiulu."
She mused, "He just looked at the queen's appearance and was worried that the backer would not be easy to use in the future."
Xile said: "The Queen has always been shrewd, and there are not many legitimate daughters in the Ji family who can compare with her. Ru Ming has already married to each other. Even if she does something that makes Ji family unhappy, Ji family You won't give up on her easily, right? I'll see if Ji Zhaoyuan can support the Sixth Palace."
When Ji Zhaoyuan was mentioned, Yun Fenghuang smiled and asked, "It is said that Ji Zhaoyuan is not the direct daughter of the Ji family. How come she is not Zhaoyuan?"
I want to know if Yuan Yuniang was one of the nine concubines when she entered the palace against the Empress Dowager's objection.
