The Queen had no idea that the Queen Mother's master and servant had stabbed her immediately behind her back. She was also thinking of preparing some practical things for Queen Mother Yuan, so she opened her own private treasury specifically for this purpose...
Then I thought that Queen Mother Yuan’s reputation in the Sixth Palace was not very good.
If you are the only one giving gifts and the concubines are indifferent, won't the old man's face look good
Therefore, we specially communicated in private and asked the Sixth Palace to prepare.
She thought it was a good deed, but Concubine De went to Huanhua Palace to visit Yun Fenghuang again and asked what would be a good gift. The concubine smiled meaningfully: "Our empress... This is a typical act of kindness. Something bad happened!”
"Sister, what do you mean by this?" Concubine De was not really undecided about what to give to the imperial concubine, but she was here to gently remind Yun Fenghuang if she should also mix it in
After all, the lord of the Sixth Palace is the imperial concubine who has the worst relationship with the loving mother, the Queen Mother.
This time the Empress Dowager was leaving, and the imperial concubine didn't even say a word to persuade her to stay. She didn't even prepare anything. This just seems like she doesn't care about the Empress Dowager, doesn't it
Even if the concubine has always been favored and is still pregnant, in Concubine De's view, after all, Empress Dowager Yuan is the mother of Chunjia and the elder who is most valued by the emperor, so she still has to give her basic respect.
Hearing this at this moment, he was shocked.
I heard Yun Fenghuang chuckle and say: "We all know in our hearts what kind of person the Queen is. Since she has revealed this intention, she must sincerely want to be good to the Queen Mother. But... She is also confused! Your Majesty is still here She is so anxious to retain the Empress Dowager. She has not even prepared gifts. She even wants to mobilize the six palaces to prepare gifts to bid farewell to the Empress Dowager. Does this mean she wants the Empress Dowager to leave? Do you want to call the priest again? The boss will find some smart performers to choreograph a dance, and after his loving mother the Queen Mother leaves, he will immediately hold a banquet to celebrate for how many days?"
Concubine De was stunned when she heard this, and suddenly broke into a cold sweat. She said nonchalantly: "But... But the Empress Dowager is obviously going to leave! Since the Empress has spread this idea, I'm afraid it is unlikely that the Empress Dowager will stay. ?”
"That is the matter of the loving mother Queen Mother." Yun Fenghuang suggested, "If we want to obey His Majesty, we must not want her to leave, right? Then why should we do it for the loving mother if we don't want the loving mother Queen Mother to leave? The Empress Dowager is making preparations for a long trip? Doesn't this mean she is urging her loving mother, the Empress Dowager, to leave?"
She narrowed her eyes slightly and said, "If I were a loving mother, I would definitely use this as a raft to tell His Majesty that this is not because I am abandoning His Majesty, but is His Majesty's harem. Even the Queen has refused to stay by herself! Do you think His Majesty has listened to this? How will you feel after that?"
Concubine De gasped and was a little puzzled: "But, since the empress dowager, the loving mother, is planning to go back to Fuyang County, why are you treating the empress like this now? After she left, Concubine An and the Sixth Prince will not Maybe we can go together?"
"She is an elder of King Fuyang's lineage, and not an elder of Xiaozong's lineage. Of course, the emperor's concubine and the prince cannot follow her." Yun Fenghuang said lightly, "It's just... His Majesty is already very sad that she left this time. If you still have to suffer so many grievances when you leave, do you think your majesty will feel more and more distressed? Can you find ways to compensate her? For her status, is the reward of money, silk, and title meaningful? The last of these Can the benefits not fall on Concubine An and the Yuan family?"
Thinking of this, she sighed and thought to herself: "I'm afraid Queen Mother Qu will be very angry to death this time!"
The empress dowager, who started out as the concubine of the distant branch vassal king, worked hard, kept a low profile, and endured for more than 20 years. Finally, she caught an opportunity and struck a blow in the relationship between Chun Jia and the empress dowager Yuan.
Seeing that she was about to burn the fire on the head of Queen Mother Yuan, and then destroy the relationship that Queen Mother Yuan had raised Chunjia for many years, she took advantage of it as her biological mother... Queen Mother Yuan returned to Fuyang County alone, which not only inspired Chunjia's childhood relationship The feelings she accumulated by relying on each other completely diluted the bad influence caused by people like Xingning Bofu and Yuan Zhiniang confusing the royal bloodline.
The most terrible thing is that as the concubine of King Fuyang Duan, the royal concubine of King Fuyang Duan is going back to Fuyang County. Is it possible that Queen Mother Qu can still stay in the Imperial Capital
Even if Empress Dowager Yuan personally told her to keep her, it would be hard for her to stay!
In this way, Queen Mother Qu's hard work, forbearance, layout, and victory all these years are meaningless. When she returns to Fuyang County, it is conceivable that Queen Mother Yuan's status and power in Fuyang County are superior to hers. Because she was far away from the imperial capital, she couldn't even pretend to be pitiful to Chunjia... Wasn't this how Queen Mother Yuan dealt with her as she wanted
After going around and around for decades, I finally had to kneel down in front of Queen Mother Yuan and live in her shadow. This feeling...
Tsk tsk, Queen Mother Qu is still quiet and has not made any noise, so she is considered to be stoic.
If it were anyone else, he would be so angry that he would vomit blood.
"Not only that, but the Yuan family's confusion of bloodlines should not be mentioned in the future." Yun Fenghuang raised his head and looked at De Fei, and warned him carefully, "Tell your father and brother when you have time. From now on, Your Majesty Taboo. Whoever mentioned it reminds His Majesty of the sadness of the Queen Mother’s decision to leave... Do you understand?"
Concubine De nodded seriously: "Don't worry, sister, I will definitely remember it!"
Then he said, "My sister will definitely tell my family!"
She thought for a while, couldn't help but move her position, and whispered in Yun Fenghuang's ear, "But when will this loving mother Queen Mother leave? It's been two days since she packed her things. She won't Come on, everyone in the temple is trembling with fear. No one dares to offend His Majesty at this time. My sister’s grandmother has also been sighing for the past two days. She doesn’t know what to do with the mission that His Majesty gave her before."
"As for the errand, Your Majesty doesn't have the time to ask questions right now, so just put it off for a while." Yun Fenghuang said, "As for the loving mother, the Empress Dowager, she should be leaving in the next two days. Otherwise, it would seem too scheming. ... Even if Your Majesty is too immersed in the friendship between mother and son to react now, how could you not notice the clues when you calm down and think about it afterwards? Your Majesty... is not easy to fool!"
Concubine De thanked her and left, while Yun Fenghuang put the fan against his chin, thoughtfully.
"Your Majesty, it's a good thing that the Empress Dowager, our loving mother, is gone. From now on, no one will keep an eye on our Xuanqing Palace." Qing Ren came in to serve the drinks. When he saw it, he said casually, "But I don't know what Your Majesty will do after she leaves." If you don’t feel depressed, why don’t you come to our Xuanqing Palace?”
Yun Fenghuang smiled, put the fan on the table, took the drink, stirred it with a silver spoon, and said casually: "It's certainly a good thing that she's been gone for a long time. After all, Fuyang County is far away, she No matter how long your hands are, they may not be so easy to stretch out. But I am really worried about the short time! Don’t forget, this woman made arrangements for us on the night of the palace change. And my due date is also approaching. … If something goes wrong by then, she may still be a little taboo about taking action while she is in the palace; but if she is not here, then there is no telling.”
"As for whether Your Majesty will come to Xuanqing Palace... My loving mother, the Queen Mother, is packing her things and returning to Fuyang County. Has he ever come to scold me in exchange for the Queen Mother being soft-hearted?"
Kiyoto shook his head quickly.
Although Chunjia had not been here during this period, she basically did not go to the other concubines in the harem.
The emperor is very busy now and sees that Tiandu is in Taichu Palace.
"Isn't that it?" Yun Fenghuang said calmly, "He still protects me in his heart. Otherwise, let alone come and scold me, he is afraid that he will not let me kowtow to apologize to the loving mother, the Empress Dowager, or even belittle me immediately. Come to this palace in order to win over your loving mother, the Queen Mother, to change her mind?"
At this point, he was silent for a moment and said, "Actually, if he does this, maybe the loving mother Queen Mother will really be soft-hearted and won't leave."
In the final analysis, the biggest threat to Queen Mother Yuan in the harem was Yun Fenghuang, not Queen Mother Qu.
Queen Mother Qu’s design this time is indeed a successful oriole...
However, without Yun Fenghuang's estrangement between mother and son, it is unlikely that the Queen Mother Yuan and Chun Jia would have thought of withdrawing just because of a disagreement.
Similarly, if Yun Fenghuang did not exist and Queen Mother Yuan was set up by Queen Mother Qu this time, with her methods, she could quickly take revenge and go back. There was no need to use such means as leaving the imperial capital to protect the Yuan family and herself. The relationship with Chunjia.
The effect of Rapid Retreat seems to be good, but it cannot be used all the time and can only be used at critical moments.
Empress Dowager Yuan would not do this unless absolutely necessary.
Leaving the Imperial Capital will certainly arouse Chunjia's reluctance to leave her, but it will also dilute the friendship between her and Chunjia due to the loss of time, and greatly weaken her control and influence over the Imperial Capital, the palace, and the temple.
If you weigh it carefully, it actually does more harm than good.
It's just that Queen Mother Yuan had to leave... so she would not simply leave. Yun Fenghuang put himself in her shoes and thought that Queen Mother Yuan's desire to kill her, a noble concubine, was probably stronger than ever before.
Only when Concubine Min died and there was no one in the palace who could oppose Empress Dowager Yuan would she have a chance to come back.
Even if Yun Fenghuang really died young, as long as she was considered to have nothing to do with Queen Mother Yuan, Chunjia would not take the initiative to take her back to continue to live her life.
Today's Chunjia was not able to win even a Holy Birthday Festival when he first ascended the throne. His status and power are becoming increasingly stable.
Because he succeeded in seizing power by keeping a low profile, and did not rely on external forces, such as powerful ministers or eunuchs, the young emperor's qualifications and talents were recognized, and his ministers were increasingly in awe of him. deepen. Even though the emperor has not accomplished any particularly amazing political achievements yet, his prestige has been established unconsciously. If he wants to do something extraordinary and not so in line with the rules, as long as it is not too excessive, the ministers will not be able to screw him.
Yun Fenghuang lowered his eyes and sighed when he thought of this, so the emperor still defended her.
The so-called disguised confinement is indeed protection.
If the emperor had not told her so, she would have to kneel in front of Empress Dowager Yuan to apologize... This apology was not for others to see, but for the emperor.
Because even if the Queen Mother's decision to leave the imperial capital has nothing to do with the imperial concubine on the surface, in the hearts of the Queen Mother, Chun Jia and Yun Fenghuang herself, is it still there
"But I am greedy, but this pity..." She thought a little indifferently, "But it is still not enough!"
The imperial concubine turned her head and looked to the southeast. That was where the East Palace was. It had been vacant for many years since Xiaozong ascended the throne.
And since she entered the palace, she has made up her mind that the next owner there must be her heir!
