How to reward
Is that a problem
Emperor Chunjia was no longer what he used to be, and he had already begun to assume the authority of the emperor.
At that time, if you ask him for a high price, not to mention that the emperor may not be able to give it for the time being, even if the emperor tries his best to give it, then what he asks for must be more reasonable. As for the settlement after the month, etc. , I didn’t even mention it; I asked too little, and there is no point in being wrong in the current situation. Judging from Yun Fenghuang’s previous performance, it is estimated that the emperor will not believe that she is the kind of good person who just wants to give without asking for anything in return.
The most important thing is no, the emperor's question is like weighing the question.
Yun Fenghuang changed his mind and said before: "My adoptive father had intended to serve the imperial court early in the morning, but his official position was low..."
"I thought I would take the opportunity to ask for promotion." Emperor Chunjia was a little surprised, "I didn't expect that I would actually ask for promotion for Yunju? I remember that it was all because Yunju talked too much in front of Duke Yi that I accidentally entered the palace. The palace, right?”
The implication is, please don't tell me that I was wrong for accepting my cheap adoptive father. Even if I was cheated by him, I would not stop thinking about his future.
"As Bidong said, may I ask my adoptive father to say this to Duke Yi before? How can I be so virtuous and capable of serving you? I have already said that I like you the most! So even if I didn't do it earlier, I have thought about entering the palace, and after seeing you, aren't you glad that it was too late to enter the palace?" Yun Fenghuang covered his mouth and smiled, sincerely, "Besides, I am Ruming's surname is Yun, how can I be the same as the Yun family? If you don't plan for your adoptive father, then who will you plan for?"
As for why he was not promoted to a higher position, Yun Fenghuang asked in surprise, "Isn't the promotion a compensation that I should have had?! Qingman followed Concubine Shu and lived in Xiaoyingzhou for only a few days. , after I came out, a palace maid who served in Bu Nao died, and she could be promoted to one level. I lived in Xiaoyingzhou for a long time, and was worried and scared every day, and even the fate of having children was cut off, so I couldn't be made a concubine. Is the palace very fair?"
Are you kidding me? Give yourself the medicine to avoid it, which is what she had planned after being reminded by Nian Xuan.
On the one hand, if Yun Fenghuang had a child in such a self-conscious environment, purely as a wedding dress for others, she would most likely risk her life. Moreover, she herself was not yet at the age where maternal cruelty is rampant, and she would be wrong for her children. , I really have nothing to think about; secondly, I can learn from Yuan Yuniang’s experience when she was promoted from the ninth concubine to the concubine, and use that price to exchange for the leap from concubine to concubine.
After all, the concubines of the imperial dynasty, the ones with the worst backgrounds, were not at the level of the righteous daughter of Qingping Hou.
Regardless of how nice Empress Ji's promise was, Yun Fenghuang didn't quite believe that the empress would break the tacit understanding of the palace for her because of her hard work and merit. She would not even believe that with her previous interactions with the princesses, Queen Mother Ji would not stop her from breaking through to the concubine level.
She thought she had sworn to Qi Jiulu that she would never be separated from him in all eternity, but within a year after saying those words, she went back on her word in Kongquepo.
Maybe Empress Ji really meant what she promised to the princesses, and people in this area always have impulses, right? Afterwards, calm down and think about it, whether you are willing to keep your promise or not, God knows.
Yun Fenghuang would not place his hopes of promotion on the trustworthiness of Ji's aunt and nephew.
This could be the reason why she wrongly targeted Ji Muzi after taking down Yuan Yuniang, and revenge was one of them. It could also be because Ji Muzi was the legitimate daughter of the Ji family. Then if you change your position and commit the murder of the concubine and the emperor's heir, Ji's aunt and nephew would definitely be more willing to punish the culprit instead of increasing the compensation for the victim.
But the Ji family made a mistake... They couldn't bear to make the mistake of Ji Mu Zidong's double leg, but also wanted to cover up his face. Then he could refer to the example of Yuan Yuniang's miscarriage, break the rules of promotion, and give generous rewards to seal it.
Like that time, Ji Muzi was punished very harshly during the emergency period, but because of the emergency period, the victims of wrongdoing were more generous and generous in making amends, which could show whether the Ji family's daughter managed the palace properly Your selfishness will not allow anyone to harm the emperor's heir, right
In short, although that incident was beyond her expectation, it turned out that it was still planned. So, if her promotion to a concubine was the result of her hard work, why should it be regarded as the favor of Emperor Chunjia? !
Could that be the harvest she had worked hard to achieve on her own
I said the emperor also helps to check for leaks and fill in the vacancies, so things will go smoothly
Doesn't that mean she was already prepared
Otherwise, let the emperor demote Ji Muzi to Ji concubine out of thin air
In the final analysis, the emperor just took advantage of the situation and did the work of lifting his legs.
Besides, if the emperor did that, did he feel sorry for her? No, even Emperor Bu Nao didn't like the Ji family. He probably used that incident to unite other factions to put pressure on the Ji family, and then secretly got involved.
In Yun Fenghuang's view, the nature of the matter was that she had worked so hard to dig the trap. The emperor borrowed the chicken to lay eggs and took the eggs away. It would have been good if she did not ask the emperor for a partnership fee. For this reason It is absolutely wrong to be grateful to the emperor.
"..." The emperor stared at her for a long time, and then sighed softly after a while, "I look down upon you. As a woman, I am really wronged!"
He had always felt that the old men in the court were too shameless, but now he saw that he was not too much of a gentleman. Yun Bin, who was nearly ten years younger than him, was not seeking face, taking credit, or delegating duties. No worse than those old immortals.
Just as Yun Fenghuang was begging to speak, the imperial chariot sank, but he had already arrived in front of the Ningbi Hall.
"Bidong is here? Jieyu was thinking of you very much just now." Before the waiter carrying the carriage could draw up the curtain, a maid from the Ningbi Palace came over and said in a brisk tone, "Aunt Zhu asked Didong to You can eat Shen Ling’s pancakes in a choking way..."
Before he finished speaking, when he saw Yun Fenghuang walking eastward when the curtain was lifted, the palace man's expression was startled.
"Your Majesty, I won't bother you to have snacks with Concubine Jieyu. I'm going to leave!" Yun Feng Huangdong got out of the imperial chariot, turned around and said in a sweet voice, "I'll go first." Bathing and dressing are waiting for you in Ziquan Hall... Please come early."
In the end, she didn't even look at the palace maid. She held onto Xile's legs, twisted her waist and walked away charmingly.
After walking for a while, I guessed that the emperor could no longer be seen, so he let go of Xile, resumed his normal walking posture, and said happily: "Is it that our Bidong can eat the snacks very well?"
The chief, who is already bad-tempered, might slap the emperor in the face with the dessert plate!
Just thinking about it, I can’t help but shed a handful of bitter tears for the emperor, hahahahahahahahahaha!
… When Yun Fenghuang drove back to Ziquan Palace with a smile on his face, Emperor Chunjia was taking the handkerchief handed over by the palace maid, wiping off the water stains on his shoulders and a few pieces of tea leaves, and said with helplessness: "Because Xiao Ji was demoted to a concubine. Because of that, Ji's confinement is working hard to cause trouble for me, and he is worried about not coming to see me. If he doesn't rest at Ziquan Hall in the morning, where can he rest?"
There was an unspoken rule in the imperial palace that once a concubine became pregnant, she would generally not stay with the emperor again for the sake of safety and not to offend the public.
Of course, whether the rules vary from person to person, if someone is really capable of favoring and seizing the harem, and whether the emperor can make the final decision, no one will bring it up without a hint.
The problem is that Yuan Yuniang has a bad reputation to begin with, and she rushes the Ji family to discuss Ji Muzi's experience and wants to take her back to Yicheng, which is why she is in the limelight.
At that time, if the emperor spent the night in Ningbi Palace, she was afraid that someone would accuse her of being jealous before the court meeting. She wanted to dominate the emperor and not let him go when she was pregnant. She didn't even think that she should persuade the emperor to soak up the rain and dew at that time, so as to be a good person. The royal family continues to have more children and so on.
"Even if you can't spend the night at his place, why don't you go to someone else's place?" Mother Yuan knew the truth, so she couldn't bear it. At this moment, she cried and said aggrievedly, "Those Yuezi slaves have been locked up in Xiaoyingzhou. I didn’t leave anything here at night! I didn’t even go back to the Taichu Palace! Why should I beg her just after she comes back?!”
Recalling Dongyun Fenghuang's appearance and figure, she felt sour water gushing out, and she gnashed her teeth and said, "Is it because she was born well?! I complained about her various dislikes, but I couldn't help thinking about her fault in my heart. Not bad?! Otherwise, I have already taken charge of the government, so why do I want to keep her?! I don’t know if she used to rely on the queen’s support to do him wrong!”
Emperor Chunjia sighed: "Mother, where did I think of you? Didn't he tell me about it two months ago? The Xiaoyun family is not willing to move, even if it begs to move, it is absolutely wrong. Can we go out?" Legs, after all, they visited Songling before, and they were very fond of Deng Yueting. And Deng Yueting allowed him to study with him and get along with him day and night. Except for his uncle Cui Shangshu, no one else believed in his words. As for Xiao Yun, Everyone knows that she is the queen's wife, and she has offended me a lot. She must not stand on his side, let alone help him hide anything, so that he cannot be held responsible for shooting Duke Ye Guo's wife. !”
"At that time, people just came out of Xiaoyingzhou. If Ruoguo did something to us, wouldn't the Ji family make a fuss about us and say that we were guilty of being thieves, so we killed people and silenced us?!"
Yuan Niang choked up and said: "Okay! Even if that is true, we can't touch her now. There are so many concubines in the palace, why do I have to spend the night at her place?! I can't accompany him to other palaces after dinner. What?!"
She endured the sadness in her heart and said, "I can go to Tongxia Palace. The concubines and sisters are both the biological daughters of Duke Yi. If I go to their place more often, it will also reassure Duke Yi."
"But Concubine Shu and sisters are all in normal health." Emperor Chunjia looked at her and said softly, "Concubine Shu was pregnant in the early years. Even if she didn't give birth to Dong Lai, could she be pregnant again like me if she was pregnant again? What? Although Xiaoyun is not lovable, the three oldest and most experienced doctors in the Imperial Palace have confirmed that it is difficult to conceive. I know that he has always wanted to have a child with me. "
Yuan Yuniang was startled. She felt the tip of her nose was sore. The gloom in her heart was gone, but there was an indescribable joy surging and swelling. She couldn't help but get up and throw herself into his arms. She said guiltily: "It turns out... I didn't think so." Yes! It’s really not wrong, he shouldn’t doubt me!”
"Slow down, slow down!" The emperor caught her with a smile, patted her back gently, and said softly, "It's his fault for not explaining it clearly to me in advance... He still remembers all the grievances I suffered for him over the years. , the pro-government is just the beginning, wait a month later..."
He paused, letting Yuan Yuniang think for herself, and then continued for a moment, "Please forgive me for now, huh?"
There was a smile on Yuan Niang's lips, but she did not pretend to be angry and said: "Can you think of me asking to go to that wretched maid tomorrow night, and he feels unhappy... Please no, I won't have anything to do with her if I go!"
"Okay, okay." The emperor responded softly, with a doting look on his face that said, "I really can't do anything to you." Several close maids not far away blushed with envy.
Completely unaware of the emperor's drooping long eyelashes, his eyes were condensed, deep and cold, and did not reveal any emotion.
