Yun Fenghuang sighed and said first: "Although you are my niece, when you enter the palace, you will serve His Majesty, and you will still be called by the palace name. Lest others hear in the future, you are not the chosen one. "
Xie Runan was a little apprehensive, and admitted his mistake in a low voice, saying: "Yes. Your Majesty."
"Although Your Majesty is pure filial piety, the Ji family has completely disappeared. How can you say that there is no grudge between the Empress Dowager and Your Majesty? People like me, the Forbidden City, have always kept a distance from Qingci Palace. So why? Maybe the Empress Dowager is entrusted to support you in public? Besides, I am somewhat decent in the palace. Why bother the royal elders with such a small matter? I will just talk to the Queen in private, that's all." Yun Feng Huang then said, "You probably didn't pay attention just now. When the Empress Dowager called you, not only the Empress and I, but also Your Majesty were surprised."
"Your Majesty..." Xie Runan was very frightened when he heard this, "I really don't know... If I know..."
"Then you can still refute the Empress Dowager's good intentions in public?" Yun Fenghuang calmed down when he saw her like this, and said warmly, "Don't worry, this may not be a bad thing. After all, I am here, and you can still Are you being wronged for nothing? I can’t blame you for this, there must be other reasons."
After comforting Xie Runan for a few words, he rewarded her with something, and ordered someone to take her back to Xiuzhuo Palace. Fang called Chen Jing to him and asked him, "What happened today?"
Chen Jing bowed and said: "Replying to your Majesty, why did the Empress Dowager call Xie Cainu to come forward and forgive the servant for her incompetence, but the reason has not yet been found out. As for the Gao family, it is said that it is a secret hand, but in fact, it is not He did it deliberately because he felt inferior to that Huang!"
"Oh?" Yun Fenghuang was also a little surprised by these words, because it was such a coincidence that Gao's accident happened, and Huang had a previous record of forcing Jiang Mingdan out. At that time, she and the queen both suspected that something happened to Gao's family. It was Huang who did it, but the result turned out to be the other way around. Was it Gao who wanted to frame Huang
She couldn't help but asked, "Does the Queen know about this? When did she know about it?"
"The Empress should have known it now, she just found out." Chen Jing whispered, "Just a short while ago, everyone in the Xiuzhuo Palace thought it was the Huang family who did it to target the Gao family. In the end, the Gao family was in a hurry. The work left some traces, which made Huang realize that it was better now. The two of them were torn into a ball on the spot... Coupled with what the empress had just told people to tell, now the stewards of Xiuzhuo Palace are really one and the other. Approximately In a little while, we will send someone to ask the Queen to make the decision."
Yun Fenghuang muttered: "The queen is a queen after all, and she has many talented people under her command."
This is not teasing Gu Zhen, this is genuine envy.
Judging from the Huang family and the Gao family, regardless of their good or bad character, they at least have brains.
Considering their qualifications and age, this number is not low.
How is it like her relatives, Xie Runan is considered the leader
Sighing, the imperial concubine confessed tiredly, "You know the girls of the Xie family and the Jiang family, and you will definitely not be able to defeat these newcomers with your skills. I also said earlier that today is no better than in the past, and we, the Xuanqing Palace, must not be too showy. , it’s time to restrain the edge. In this case, this time I will personally urge the queen to make Xie Runan a concubine. As for the other things, I won’t care about it. It’s just that the Huang family, the Gao family, and the Jiang family, no matter what, You must not be harmonious. Otherwise, this palace will be too lonely."
There was no way, Yun Fenghuang couldn't continue to fight in person as newcomers who were several years younger had entered the palace.
Even if others don't tell her, she will feel embarrassed.
But none of his direct subordinates, from Wei Hengyan to Xie Runan, could fight.
Yi Xingen is relatively outstanding, but this Yi Shi... To be honest, she has not done anything truly betrayal so far, but Yun Fenghuang can't believe her after all.
It's not just that this mistress is born into a wealthy country and will cause trouble, and she is worried that giving her a chance will become a climate and she will be out of control, but it is also because her origins are strange. Yun Fenghuang has not forgotten the inconsistency in Yi Shi.
It's just that she couldn't give birth herself at the beginning, so she was eager to ask her subordinates to help give birth to children. Yi's beauty, Chunjia was willing to sleep a few more times, and she had high hopes, so she didn't bother to delve into it.
As for the fifteenth prince, he didn't care about it after he landed. It was because he was entangled with many things and couldn't spare any time.
Moreover, she and her subordinates are now in the limelight, and it is known inside and out that Yi Xingen is her direct descendant. If something bad happens now, how can she not be implicated
Therefore, Yun Fenghuang's plan was to keep suppressing Yi Xing'en and talk about it later.
As long as this person is not in power, it will be difficult to implement even if he has any ideas. This will also make it easier for him to blame others when clues are revealed in the future.
But Qu Hongzhuan's origin is clear, but his qualifications are not good, and he is obedient. After all, he lacks the ability to be independent. He is not even qualified to be a simple vanguard.
In this case, after Yun Fenghuang himself was at the top, he had no successor.
With her methods, it is not difficult to control behind the scenes, suppress newcomers, and let people like Xie Runan stand out.
The problem is that not only does this lose her identity, but most importantly, it goes against the virtuous and virtuous image she has transformed into.
Therefore, we can only sow discord and arrange for people like the Huang family to pinch each other, while we and Xie Runan, our aunt and nephew, sit back and watch, keeping a low profile.
Of course, if Yun Fenghuang's temperament is left here, none of his men can beat him, so he can't rest assured: the current situation in the palace is that everyone knows that the imperial concubine is not easy to mess with, so they will not mess with her if they can. There is no way to provoke them, they basically just kneel down and give in immediately.
But this is mainly because these people have been with her for many years and have personally experienced the consequences of going against her. They will not take any chances and even think of her as even more terrifying.
Although the newcomers must have heard such rumors, they have never had any contact with the imperial concubine.
From their point of view, when they entered the palace, they heard that Concubine Min was not easy to deal with and how difficult to deal with. But after entering the palace, they saw that this empress was not very gentle and kind.
I would like to ask the newcomers who may feel relieved at first, but after a long time, can they not develop arrogance or even contempt because of their slackness
By then Yun Fenghuang didn't find trouble with them, but they came to cause trouble. What should Yun Fenghuang do
There is no one available for me, so I can only lower my status and take action myself. This...
The imperial concubine felt that she could not afford to lose that person either.
So we still have to look for one or two capable subordinates... She thought for a moment and finally ordered Chen Jing: "Summon Yi Shi to see me."
There was nothing she could do, she was not a queen, so it was easy to find a few capable sons from poor families in a short period of time. Here, in order to be reliable, she can only find relatives, and the talents of relatives are right in front of her. He rashly looks for a girl from another family, not to mention whether it is considerate to come into the palace, just because he doesn’t know the roots, who knows whether it is useful or not? If it works, that's good luck. If it doesn't work, wouldn't it be a waste of effort
At this moment, we can only see if Yishi is wise or not.
After a while, Yi Xing'en came over rather anxiously. She had been very popular with Yun Fenghuang before, otherwise she would not have been promoted as a concubine.
However, because he secretly bribed an informant to find out information about Princess Zhaoqing, he was not only demoted, but was almost abandoned by Yun Fenghuang for a time.
Even though Yi Xingen tried every means to please and beg for mercy, Yun Fenghuang still ignored her these days.
She was suddenly called today. She was surprised and happy, but she couldn't help but worry.
"You don't look well, what's going on?" Yun Fenghuang watched her respectfully salute and say hello, with thoughts in his mind, he called out slowly, and after a brief greeting, he said, "Is it possible that there was a banquet yesterday?" Did you drink too much and eat too much?”
"Ms. Lao, I'm thinking that I didn't drink much at the table yesterday, but it was because of the Seventh Princess." Yi Xing'en said cautiously, "She has been acting quite recklessly these past two days. I have a headache. I don't know how to teach her." Okay, so I’m quite annoyed.”
Yun Fenghuang thought for a while and said, "The Seventh Princess... is already three years old?"
Yi Xingen respectfully said yes.
"Time flies by so fast, and so many years have passed in the blink of an eye." Yun Fenghuang nodded slightly and sighed, "Yesterday, the female pickers filed in to perform, and I unexpectedly remembered the time in Xiuzhuo Palace back then. , the way you people go to the temple to have an audience."
"Could it be that this touched the noble concubine's heart, and that's why she thought of summoning me?" Yi Xing'en suddenly thought, secretly thinking that she was lucky, and quickly reminded herself that the former master has a deep mind and should not be trusted easily.
Of course, she still pretended to be extremely moved on the surface, and even immediately stood up and left her seat, knelt on the ground, and sobbed: "I, these people are from humble backgrounds, and they are like weeds in front of high positions in the palace! If it weren't for the kindness of the empress, , has long since turned into withered bones! Speaking of which, it is all my fault, and I have failed to live up to the high hopes of the empress. In the past two years, every time I think about it, I feel extremely guilty! If the Seventh Princess hadn't been so young, she would have no shame in living here anymore. In the world! Especially in the past two days, the Seventh Princess was ignorant and acted nonsense. I thought that Her Royal Highness Princess Zhaoqing was deeply loved by His Majesty. This shows how much effort the empress has spent! But... I did such a thing! I I'm so sorry, my dear! Even if I die a hundred times, I can't atone for my sins!"
Yun Fenghuang sighed secretly: Look! Look at this eye power, this reaction, this smooth climbing!
If Xie Runan and the others had a similar talent, what would she have to worry about
"Zhaoqing is your own flesh and blood after all." Yun Fenghuang took a sip of tea and sighed, "In the past, when you were still a concubine in this palace, you could always see me every once in a while, and in the same palace , the news is delivered quickly, you have nothing to worry about. But when you become a concubine on your own, you can't help but think about it. I think I did too much at the beginning... After all, blood and family ties are difficult to cut off... I still have this truth. I didn’t understand it until I was fifteen years old.”
Yi Xingen was originally thinking about taking advantage of the situation to impress the imperial concubine, but after hearing these considerate words, she became anxious: The imperial concubine is suddenly so easy to talk to, what does that mean? Since she has a biological son, Princess Zhaoqing is not that important
