After a long while, Yun Fenghuang looked at the imperial guard who brought the oral instructions in front of him and smiled, and ordered the Qing people to reward him. Finally, he leaned back on the hidden bag, fanned his fan, and narrowed his eyes slightly: "I have dedicated these two days to Meng'er. The three of them all made new clothes, and even deliberately revealed it to Zhao Qing, using this jealousy to cause a little fuss... Your Majesty must know about it. At this moment, I guess I suspect that I am giving Mei'er Kuo'er some ideas. , that’s why I insisted on having a lively banquet!”
The emperor thought this way, and his attention must be on Xie Mei and Xie Kuo, and he happened to neglect Xie Meng and Deng Chengzhai, so that she could make a fuss.
However, based on her understanding of Chunjia, if she had such suspicions, it would definitely not be as simple as staring at Xie Kuo and Xie Mei. She would probably take some measures to get rid of it once and for all.
After all, the emperor didn't have the time to keep an eye on the two younger Xie family members.
"Forget it, Meier." Yun Fenghuang mused, "In the past two years since entering the palace, everything seems to be mediocre... I am still a mediocre person in the Xie clan, and it is not something that can achieve success. Let His Majesty calculate it. , let’s just calculate it, lest your majesty’s arrangements are in vain, and you will have to doubt me when you look back... But Kuo’er, among the many nieces of this palace, it is rare that there is one who is ambitious. Even if the city is a little shallow, the methods are revealed. After all, there is something worth cultivating in your immaturity. But you can’t let His Majesty fool you.”
So he asked the Qing people, "Go and remind Kuo'er privately that she should be careful on the day of the palace banquet and never leave Zhaoqing."
No matter what she did, Chunjia would never say what she would do to Xie Kuo in front of her daughter
"Just try to get away from Mei'er and don't be with Mei'er." Yun Fenghuang ordered calmly, "Just let Kuo'er alone know these words. Mei'er Meng'er, don't reveal it."
Kiyoto's heart skipped a beat when he heard it, and he said, "Yes."
Finally, I couldn't help but ask, "Mother, what is this for?"
"Your Majesty has never liked Kuo'er. He feels that Kuo'er is not innocent at all at such a young age, but is too young and mature." Yun Fenghuang said slowly, "So if Your Majesty wants to take action that day, I'm afraid he will probably go after Kuo'er. Because in his impression, Kuo'er is the most thoughtful among the three nieces of this palace."
If Chunjia could only scheme against one person, he would definitely rather fulfill Xie Mei than let go of Xie Kuo.
But if Xie Kuo had been following Zhao Qing and Xie Mei walked away, the emperor's people would first deal with them one by one and attack Xie Mei.
Yes, ever since Yun Fenghuang decided to regret his marriage for Xie Meng, Xie Mei was destined to be a victim.
Her real intention in hosting this palace banquet must not be revealed to Chunjia. After all, she was pestering the emperor to strengthen the relationship, and then she said she didn't want them to be together. What was this
Then Chunjia was a deep-thinking person, and Yun Fenghuang wanted to hide it from him, so he had to make things a little more complicated to avoid being obvious to him.
Among the three nieces, Xie Meng was the one she loved the most;
Even in terms of blood relationship, Xie Mi is closer to Yun Fenghuang than Xie Kuo, but...
At this moment, Yun Fenghuang decided to sacrifice her future to fulfill Xie Meng and keep Xie Kuo.
She didn't feel guilty or uneasy about doing this. After all, if she hadn't been raising her for the past two years, a concubine like Xie Mei wouldn't have been able to marry into a high family.
You must know that the Xie family has many heirs, and now there are many legitimate daughters waiting in line to marry into high-ranking families, let alone concubine daughters
And frankly speaking, with Xie Mei's qualifications, she probably wouldn't be able to handle it if he forced her to marry a noble son. When the time comes, she might still be a drag on Yun Fenghuang.
Of course, if this hadn't been the case, Yun Fenghuang would have told her to be from a high-ranking family, even if it was a drag.
Anyway, it doesn't matter that Xie Mi is incompetent. If she really can't do it, she can be married to a close servant and give her guidance. When she gives birth to an heir, there will be more room for fussing.
But now...
Yun Fenghuang thought, this is what a niece with no talent and no cleverness can do.
Otherwise, we can't ask her to be grateful for her grievances and to be grateful for her sacrifices, right
Thinking that she was chosen by her family to marry the Qi family, wasn't it because the Jiang family was so powerful? Otherwise, how could such a thing happen to the fourth daughter-in-law? Why should she stick to the eldest daughter-in-law first
Slowly exhaling, Yun Fenghuang ordered again, "Keep an eye on Kuo'er and see if she will tell Meng'er that there is still Mei'er."
Qingren agreed and asked curiously: "Does the empress want Miss Kuo to tell Miss Meng and Miss Mei, or does she not?"
"Of course I don't." Yun Fenghuang looked at her strangely, "If she can't keep such a small thing a secret, what else can I expect from her?"
"But in this case, Miss Kuo is too..." Qing Ren whispered, "Miss Meng and Miss Mei have always taken good care of her!"
If Xie Kuo knew that something was going to happen at the palace banquet this time, but didn't share the reminder from his aunt's attendant, and just sat back and watched the two sisters fall into the trap, wouldn't it be too selfish
Yun Fenghuang glanced at her and said: "From the standpoint of being an aunt, I seem to want them to love each other and be united with each other? But you have to know that I am not only their aunt now, but also Min. The noble concubine is the guarantee for the revitalization of the Xie family! Under such circumstances, it is rare for Kuo'er to have the thought to share the worries of the palace, but he does not even have such a small part of the city government. So besides a lot of surprises, what else is there? Qing Ren, you You have been with me in this palace for more than a day or two, so why are you still so naive? Virtue is excellent, and I am very willing to associate with people of high moral character, because they are so calculating and easy to deal with."
"But this kind of nobility is never something that everyone is qualified to possess."
"As the old saying goes, people in the warehouse know the etiquette well. This is the truth."
"Let me ask you, when I first entered the palace, if I had prostrate myself at Mother Yuan's feet, let alone what I am today, I wouldn't even be able to save my life!"
"At that time, I was not qualified to be courteous and polite. Does Kuo'er today have the qualifications?"
Xie Kuo was originally not as good as Xie Meng in Yun Fenghuang's mind. If she gave up this opportunity, she might be able to get closer to Xie Meng and Xie Mei, but... would it make sense
The futures of these two people are in Yun Fenghuang's hands, so what can she do if she gains their favor
Yun Fenghuang was disappointed and had no chance to get support from the imperial concubine and aunt.
"... My maid, are you thinking that Miss Kuo is one of my own?" The Qing people actually did not really admire Guangfeng Jiyue, but because, "My maid is also confused. Even if she understands the truth, she always thinks about them. I grew up in front of my empress, so I should be somewhat repaying my kindness."
In fact, if Xie Kuo sells out to Xie Meng, Xie Meiqing won't care very much. The key is that if Xie Kuo is so selfish and accustomed to it, will he be equally ungrateful to Yun Fenghuang in the future
"With how the Xie family is now, I really don't expect their character." Yun Fenghuang sighed and said, "No matter how good your character is, if there are many famous families suppressing it, how can you still be famous all over the world with your family style?" ?"
That is absolutely impossible.
Let alone the Luo family, the Meng family, the Yin family, and the Ouyang family, they would not give Xie such an opportunity. Even if they were given, Xie would really not be able to gain this reputation.
After all, it’s only been so long since Xie Fenghuan’s incident...
Yun Fenghuang sighed, "Gao Feng Liang Jie is of no use in revitalizing our family. As long as they don't have such a bad reputation, that's enough. I don't care what they are thinking now. I just hope they are smarter."
As long as Mrs. Xie has a clear mind, she should understand that their family's biggest backer at this time is Yun Feng Huang, and she should protect Yun Feng Huang.
For smart people, as long as they grasp the key interests, they are not afraid of betrayal or not taking the initiative to get closer.
Therefore, Yun Fenghuang is not worried at all whether Xie Kuoxing-zi, if he is that kind of selfish, will become a tiger.
After all, as long as this niece is a developable person, she would not expect to win her over simply by relying on the friendship between aunt and nephew.
Didn't she have a close relationship with a group of elders when she was in the clan
But since entering the palace, you haven't been in charge of everything, and you haven't allowed those in the family to comment? Even if he adopts a low profile, it is just for fun.
After all, she never let up the initiative.
In fact, what Yun Fenghuang was most worried about was meeting an idiot.
For example, those tribesmen who were causing trouble in the Imperial Capital and wanted to control her...
I feel really tired just thinking about it.
Thinking of those tribesmen, Yun Fenghuang remembered that when Wang Shi went north, the Xie family sent many tribesmen to join the army. He didn't know how many of those tribesmen had gone. Was there any loss
Of course she doesn't care about the losses of those people, she just hopes that they can be as bold as they were in the Imperial Capital on the battlefield, make more contributions, and bring glory to the Xie family.
"Counting the days, Uncle Zhaowu will soon arrive in the imperial capital." Yun Fenghuang thought for a while and said to the Qing people, "Ask Chen Jing to inquire more about the previous dynasty and see what trends are happening in the dynasty?"
She was busy with both the front court and the harem, and it was really unbearable. The Queen called someone over to urge her, and then she remembered that the hand-made items she had promised to her loving mother, the Queen Mother, were not ready yet.
"I had it done early in the morning, but the Queen didn't mention it. I thought there was something wrong with this matter, so I didn't say anything." Even so, Yun Fenghuang certainly refused to admit it and ordered the person to come. He offered a seat, winked at the Qing people, and said slowly, "Who knew that the day is almost here now, is there still time on the way?"
The visitor smiled apologetically and said, "The Queen will arrange for someone to send it right away, so please rest assured!"
Yun Fenghuang nodded: "Because I'm afraid it will be damaged after I finish it, I put the things a little deep, please wait a moment."
After such delay, the Qing people finally came out holding a handkerchief with the word "Shou" not very delicate embroidered on it. Because it was placed on an ebony lacquer plate with gold, the lacquer plate's complicated and gorgeous patterns were compared. , it looks really shabby.
But whether it was the person coming or the queen he saw a moment later, he had no doubts. After all, Yun Fenghuang was promoted quickly. He probably hadn’t touched a needle since he entered the palace. Even if he was good at embroidery in the past, it’s time to relax now. It's not surprising that it's not good. It's just that I can't help but complain a few words in private: "I don't know how this little Yun caught His Majesty's eye. This craftsmanship is too bad."
Because other concubines also prepared embroidery, which was much more elaborate. It was a floor-to-ceiling screen. In comparison, this veil was just perfunctory.
Although the Queen had been at odds with Queen Mother Yuan in the past, she looked a little helpless: "Concubine... it's better not to give it away!"
After all, he was being complimented by other birthday gifts, so maybe he was going to cause trouble for the Queen Mother
