On the way to Taichu Palace, Princess Minghui introduced Yun Fenghuang to Dong's two younger sisters. The girl in light green palace clothes was Princess Fu Jinyun and Gong Xiangyun. Her biological mother was the late emperor Wu Concubine, and Ru Ming ascended the throne to Concubine Wu; she never spoke. The girl dressed in goose-yellow palace clothes is the Princess of Penglai, Gong Xiangzao, the biological mother is the former emperor's beauty Shen Shi, and now she is Concubine Shen.
Neither of these two were qualified to raise the princess, so Jinyun and Penglai both grew up in front of Queen Mother Ji.
According to the rules of the palace, they moved to Yaoyu Palace where unmarried princesses lived when they were ten years old. As the biological daughter of the Queen Mother, Princess Ming Hui lived in Mianfu Palace in Ming Dynasty, but she still visited her from time to time.
Because they are the same age, they have grown up together since childhood, and the three sisters have a very close relationship. If Princess Minghui was embarrassed to say something at that time, Princess Jinyun would do it for her.
She deliberately lagged a few steps behind and pulled Yun Fenghuang to whisper: "Cousin Ji is sharp-tongued. If he says anything later that will make the eldest sister unable to stand up, I will ask for your mediation."
"... Mr. Ji is a noble son after all." Yun Fenghuang asked with a chuckle, "How could you not know that the princess is noble?"
Princess Jinyun frowned and said, "Ji Minggan has such a temper... My aunt and others have tried to persuade her several times but they still can't change it."
That's not a good idea of pampering. Otherwise, if he is whipped three times a day at mealtimes, I wonder if he will change
Yun Fenghuang slandered and said, "I'll do my best."
At that time, we also arrived in front of a palace gate. The guards guarding the gate obviously didn't know the original master of the Three Wei Dynasties, and they saluted when they saw them coming and going.
Although Yun Fenghuang, who was mistaken for being among the princesses, paused in his gaze, apparently recognizing the identity of the concubine from her clothes, he hesitated but did not stop her.
After exiting the palace gate, you can reach the area of the previous court, but perhaps because Chunjia has never been in charge personally, the place is deserted. Although it is well repaired and clean, it is not popular.
The princesses were familiar with the roads, and soon followed the palace path and entered a side hall. The palace servants inside came to salute and make tea and water to serve them.
Jinyun said: "Why don't they let their maids do the service? Let's go and tell the emperor brother that they have some homework and ask him for advice."
He added, "Many Yungui people from Huzhu Palace are also here. The Yungui people brought many cakes to the emperor."
Yun Fenghuang added: "If you're not careful, you might overdo it. I'm afraid Bhidong won't be able to finish it by himself. It's enough for several people."
Jinyun immediately cast an appreciative look at her.
The four of them were drinking tea and eating snacks. After waiting for about half a stick of incense, a waiter came outside to report that Emperor Chunjia had arrived with the youngest son of the Marquis of Haixi and the third son of the Hussar General. .
"Why are you free to come here tomorrow?" The four of them straightened their clothes and stood up to greet each other. The emperor had already walked in with a smile on his face. He waved his legs to avoid the ceremony and said, "He said that we have to rest for a few months while serving the queen for the past two days. I just started studying."
Seeing Yun Fenghuang, he was slightly startled, and then chuckled, "The noble man is here too? What a coincidence, you bump into the sisters?"
Yun Fenghuang gathered his clothes and saluted, and said, "No, I met the original master of the Three Wei Dynasties on the way. Thanks to the masters of the palace, we will stay together."
When he shut up, the emperor took a seat at the head, and ordered others to be seated. He glanced at the two people who were walking in. Because the princess and concubines were there, they lowered their heads and did not dare to stand upright. They nodded slightly and said : "Tingzhao and Zihuan are also leaving. They are both members of their own family, so there is no need to be polite."
Yun Fenghuang took advantage of the situation and looked around, and saw that the person on the left looked like Gong Xiangxiao. He was seventeen or eighteen years old, tall and rosy. His facial features could vaguely see the Yongxuan of Empress Dowager Ji and Empress Ji, and a pair of narrow phoenix eyes. , sword-shaped eyebrows flying into the temples, a straight nose and thin lips, there is a very deep dimple on the left cheek, which is still faintly visible when not smiling, showing a bit of mischief.
He was wearing a purple Tang brocade robe, a gilt-embellished brocade, rhinoceros horns wrapped with silk, a mutton-fat jade hook with cloud patterns hanging from his waist, a colorful silk ribbon with flowers, and a small agate crown with azure cloud patterns on his head. He was dressed gracefully. Luxurious, although there is no loss of etiquette in his behavior, his posture is obviously very relaxed.
After hearing Chunjia's words, he lowered his head and said "Thank you, cousin". He kept his gaze lowered, sat down calmly, picked up the tea that the palace servant had just presented to him along his legs and sipped it, very calmly.
The man on the right is slightly older, looking to see if he has just been crowned. He has a resolute face, sharp eyebrows, and is slightly taller than Ji Minggan. Although he wears a red robe and a jade crown, and is dressed like a nobleman, his overall temperament is more like that of a man in the military, with the sharpness and sharpness of a famous sword. Cold.
Yun Fenghuang couldn't help but look at him one more time.
Just looking at his demeanor, the man looked very similar to Qi Jiulu.
Xu Feng was the adopted son of General Hussars, unlike Ji Minggan, who was a serious relative of the Huan Dynasty. Although General Zheng Zheng Fengping thanked him and left, he only left one-third of the chair. , back straight, chin slightly lowered, eyes looking not far in front of him, appearing respectful and restrained.
The emperor asked them to sit down and ignored them. He smiled and asked what lessons the leader of the Three Wei Dynasties did not understand.
Princess Jinyun was the most lively and took the lead to open the paper she brought: "Brother, please see, this is the text that the teacher taught in the first two months. We agreed to take the exam the next month. Is it possible that the queen mother is ill next month?" Huh? They went to attend to the illness and forgot about it. I’ll go back to class tomorrow. If Mr. Guo asks questions, can they ask questions? I’d like to ask my dear brother... "
When she shut up, Zheng Fengfeng lowered his eyebrows and ignored her. But Ji Minggan couldn't help but raised his head and stretched his neck to take a look. When he saw it, he joked: "We are so eager to ask Bidong for such a simple homework? Don't we usually listen in school? ?”
"They asked the emperor brother but not me!" Princess Jinyun frowned, glanced at Princess Minghui first, and then said with a straight face, "Besides, it's because he and Penglai don't understand, the lesson of asking questions from big sister is not that simple! "
Ji Minggan said with a smile: "If Minghui knows about it, can we just ask Minghui? Why do you want to make that trip?"
Before Jinyun could speak, he asked Princess Minghui, "I know Minghui? Then what should I interpret that sentence?"
Princess Minghui was already a little jealous of him, but at this moment when she was asked a sudden question, her red cheeks suddenly turned crimson, and she rubbed the corners of her clothes and was speechless for a while.
Upon seeing this, Jinyun quickly winked at Yun Fenghuang.
"The masters of the Princess Palace are all very wealthy, unlike Mr. Ji, who has been with your Majesty for the whole month, and they have not learned the skills of the world." Yun Fenghuang then said calmly, "As the saying goes, if a ruler is short or an inch is long, it is wrong. What is simple for Mr. Ji may not be common sense to the masters; conversely, what is easy for the masters may not be unheard of for Mr. Ji... After all, there are specialties in the arts, No?"
Ji Minggan seemed a little surprised that she would interrupt. After being stunned for a moment, a hint of displeasure emerged between his brows. He did not answer the question directly, but said to Emperor Chunjia: "My cousin has never been happy for concubines to come to Taichu Palace." Excuse me, Concubine Yue has only been here a few times before, and has stopped setting foot in recent years. I wonder why Wei Yan can make an exception. As expected, Lan has a good heart and is very articulate. I wonder why my cousin is so doting on me."
Those words obviously meant to accuse Yun Feng, Huang Mei, and Tiao Tiao of being arrogant and coquettish.
However, Emperor Chunjia smiled and said, "Young nobles are bound to be indulgent. My cousin, please don't argue with her."
But he acquiesced in being "extremely doting" and had no intention of blaming Yun Fenghuang for him.
Ji Minggan's expression froze when he heard this, and a flash of displeasure flashed in his eyes... He originally planned to ask Emperor Chunjia to scold Yun Fenghuang in public, but not only did the emperor not do that, he said "My noble lord" both inside and outside his words. I'll just give in to my temper." Ji Minggan, as the youngest son in the family, never let them give in to him. I asked him to give in to them, even if it's not a big deal, even if it's just a slight offense that he thinks, he It’s also a bit intolerable!
At that moment, he rolled his eyes and said: "Is that what my cousin said... Although Buluochen did not dare to think that he was talented or knowledgeable, he was knowledgeable and omniscient, but he did not feel that he was wrong about Minghui and the others. What do they find so easy that I have never heard of?"
Yun Fenghuangxin said that the Ji family was really very annoying. Doesn't that mean he looked down on the original masters of the Three Wei Dynasties and felt that they had no merit other than their noble status
She glanced sideways at Minghui and the other three, and found that only Princess Jinyun showed a clear angry look. Princess Minghui was so confused that she couldn't calm down, with her head lowered and her mouth pursed in a daze. Princess Penglai was as silent as ever, her little face wavering. Not surprised, no mood or anger visible.
"There are so many things like that." Yun Fenghuang said, "For example, the cakes I brought over at that time."
As she said this, she motioned to Princess Minghui's maid to bring over the food box and open it, and looked at it, uh... Why are there so many tricks in the palace-banned cakes
She could recognize one type at a glance from the top drawer, and she couldn't tell what the other ones were made of unless she took a bite.
"For example, the yam and jujube cake." Yun Fenghuang said calmly, "Does Mr. Ji know..."
Ji Minggan interrupted: "Of course the yam and date cake is made from yam and date paste, and although he has never been a cook, the yam and date cake can be considered a type of medicinal diet. The specific production process has been seen in the medical field, and it is generally true. Peel the yam first, and then... sugar... lard... jujube paste... Yes or no?"
That guy doesn't seem to be as naughty as you thought
Yun Fenghuang was silent. Well, actually she didn't know much about how to make yam and jujube cake...
"Mr. Ji has misunderstood. Do you mean this? Does Mr. Ji know who can and cannot eat the yam and date cake?" She changed her mind decisively, "You must know that the yam and date cake is easy to digest. , it can also strengthen the spleen and stomach and replenish qi and blood. However, after some people eat it, they will develop rashes all over their body and even die!"
Ji Minggan had a stern face and looked straight at her politely.
... That's not because he really doesn't know who in the palace is prohibited from eating yam and jujube cake.
But no, he is not stupid!
He is a weak man, even if the emperor talks about "stirring family members", he is still a relative. I wonder if it is wrong that the palace ban really knows that even the dietary taboos of the palace people are well understood. Then the news spread, and the Ji family spied on the palace and conveyed news from the outside world. Reputation, is it considered true
Although during those years when the Ji family was in power, similar accusations had long been heard and ignored, but no, the cost must be calculated, right
If there are huge benefits, some of the infamy will be ignored.
The question is: Did he have a little quarrel at that time? No, it didn't even start. It was just a dispute of temper. So what if he won
If he dares to do such unworthy things, he is afraid that he will be knocked down at home in a matter of minutes!
Ji Minggan took a deep breath, decided to change the topic, turned away his eyes, and continued to talk to Jinyun: "Don't I mean that Hui has a very difficult homework? Take it out and have a look."
"The masters of the palace have brought more than one or two pieces of homework. Why should Mr. Ji be impatient? Just take your time." It turned out that he had planned to leave it alone, but Yun Fenghuang did not intend to let him go and said with a smile, " Mr. Ji didn't answer my question. Do you think I was right about what I just said?"
"..." Ji Minggan turned away in frustration, continued to ignore her, and continued to try to ask Jinyun, "Where is the homework? He will help us take a look at it, so don't bother your cousin with everything."
He thought that I would ignore me and just leave me alone to see what I would do!
However, when Yun Fenghuang saw this, he simply put his arms around Emperor Chunjia's legs and coquettishly said, "Bidong, Bidong, do you think what I just said was wrong?"
Emperor Chunjia coaxed in a good-tempered way: "You are smart and well-behaved, and everything you say is wrong."
Hearing this, Ji Minggan's face turned a little blue, but Yun Fenghuang was very reluctant, tired of the emperor's artificial aggrieved tone: "Then why did Mr. Ji not answer my concubine? No, no, Mr. Ji thinks that my status is low. , are you not qualified to explain to the three palace masters?"
"How could my cousin be that kind of person?" Emperor Chunjia said softly, "My cousin must be... um... Tingzhao, he must agree with my opinion in his heart. Is he a young man? In front of the three sisters. If you don't care about face, noble people are always considerate, so don't embarrass them."
Yun Fenghuang then turned his anger into joy and said, "Is that what Bidong said? I won't talk about that anymore."
Didong Ji Minggan: "..."
I want to thank our stupid couple for their thoughtfulness!
He was feeling aggrieved, but Yun Fenghuang kept saying that he would not talk about that matter, but in fact he was very persistent and asked the palace maid to bring the plate of yam and jujube mud cake to Ji Minggan: "I am young and ignorant, Ji Minggan Young Master, please don’t be offended... I will use that plate of yam and jujube mud cake as my concubine to apologize to you!"
Ji Minggan stared at the cake in front of him, wanting to throw it on her head!
