Yun Fenghuang sighed slightly when he heard the words and said, "How did she get along with Ru Nan on her way to the Imperial Capital?"
"Everything is very good." Qingren thought for a moment, "But maybe in the eyes of Ruigu Cainu, the empress is more kind?"
"Maybe." Yun Fenghuang said slowly, "That's all, she is a girl from her uncle's family after all. Since she has begged, then just obey her and let her come to Xuanqing Palace. But if other people also make similar suggestions All requests were rejected. After all, Jiang Ruigu is close to me by blood, so she is willing to abandon Ru Nan for me, which makes sense. If others follow suit, how can Ru Nan be so happy? ?Now that the Queen is supporting the Huang family, and Concubine De is also trying her best to help her people, I can't let Ru Nan be compared to her."
Jiang Ruigu's thoughts were clear in her heart. She just felt that they were all newcomers who came in from the same batch. If they went to Xie Runan, not to mention that Xie Runan himself had no foundation and needed to hold Yun Fenghuang's lap. As Yun Fenghuang's cousin, she , why don’t you come directly to Xuanqing Palace and get a first-come-first-served advantage
Besides, Xie Runan entered the palace for the first time, and it was too late for him to accept his favor, so how could he recommend his own people to the emperor
But Yun Fenghuang was different. Concubine Min had many heirs, and her status was stable. She did not need to serve as a bed attendant. The key was that she was still observing filial piety. These days, the emperor only went to Huanhua Palace to sit and sit, and then he listened to the concubine. arrange.
Who is not arranged by the imperial concubine? When my cousin comes here, why not take extra care of her
Therefore, for Jiang Ruigu, being a palace servant for Yun Fenghuang is much better than being a palace servant for Xie Runan.
Of course, Yun Fenghuangrong did not come here purely for the sake of her relatives. She also felt that a girl from the Xie family and the Jiang family came to the palace to simply support Xie Runan. Don't have other thoughts in the future. After all, there is still a need for checks and balances.
Even if she still has Yi Xing'en as the main force, she can learn from the lessons of the Xie brothers, and she really doesn't feel too confident about her blood relatives.
Even if Jiang Ruigu didn't take the initiative to make the request, the imperial concubine would sooner or later choose a relative to promote her, so that Xie Runan would not dare to make a mistake.
The turmoil over the Mid-Autumn Festival banquet only caused a brief uproar, and then gradually subsided with the awarding of the Jin title to the four Jieyu.
Among them, Xie Runan was granted the title Tian Jieyu, Huang, whose maiden name was Lingya, was granted the title Li Jieyu, and Jiang Mingdan was granted the title Jing Jieyu.
The newlyweds were settling in, and there were inevitably some disputes and disputes that were hard to resolve. It was just that they were new here, so they probably didn't dare to make a fuss, but it didn't make a big fuss.
The queen, concubine and other old people pretended not to know, only made a brief discussion in their own palace and stood aside.
However, on this day, Hongcai came in with a strange expression and said, "Your Majesty, please come to see Jieyu."
"Why did she come to me?" Yun Fenghuang raised his eyebrows slightly. She would definitely not have a good impression of this Jing Jieyu, so it would be nice if she didn't do it openly.
Even so, a few days ago, Chen Jing was asked to take action and cut off the possibility of having an heir.
Now that Jiang Mingtan has settled down in the early days, he does not go to the Queen and others to pay homage to the mountain, nor does he go against the Huang family, but what does it mean to come to Huanhua Palace
Now that Yun Fenghuang's position is stable, he will naturally not wrong himself. If he doesn't want to see anyone, he will refuse him and say: "Tell her, I have been tired these days, and I will tell you anything the same."
Hongcai took the order and left. After a long while, she came back and said, "Your Majesty, I told Jing Jieyu as you ordered. Jing Jieyu seemed to be very concerned and said a lot of words of comfort... and then she It's okay, but when we were in Xiuzhuo Palace, we were surrounded by enemies on all sides. Without the protection of the empress, where would we be today? I came here to say thank you. He also said that he would not dare to disturb the empress often in the future, but he was very willing to work with Tian Jieyu and the others. Coming and going.”
"..." Yun Fenghuang was speechless and said, "Have I protected her?"
Qing Ren and other attendants were also a little confused. After a moment, they said: "Did she misunderstand? Or did she say this deliberately to get close to the empress? After all, she had a grudge with Li Jieyu, so she had to worry that the empress would help Li Jieyu. Attack her. Looking at the palace, besides our empress, who else can protect her?"
Yun Fenghuang said lightly: "Does she need to be afraid of the Queen? That's the person Yan Yin is still in Xiuzhuo Palace. The Queen doesn't even dare to offend me, let alone attack her."
"Empress, we know this, but what is Jiang's background? How does she know so much?" Qingren said, "She came to her on her own anyway, why don't we wait and see for a while? It would be great if the faction can use it. "
"But what if she did it deliberately, just to use our queen to support her so that she can cause trouble?" Hong'e didn't agree very much, "And she also said that she would associate with Tian Jieyu and the others, so the maid is a little worried. , is she deliberately trying to drag our lady into the water so that she can mix up the water in the palace?"
Qing Ren glanced at Yun Fenghuang and whispered: "What is our empress's status now? We can't always end everything personally. Although empress Zhaorong is quite docile, Tian Jieyu and the others are our own. Tian Jieyu and the others are a little confused. It would be great if Mrs. Jiang could lead Tian Jieyu and the others. If something goes wrong, will it be difficult to deal with it later? "
Hong'e couldn't help but said: "But aunt, it would be best if Mrs. Jiang takes Tian Jieyu and the others with her with good intentions. What if she has bad intentions and takes advantage of Tian Jieyu and the others?"
"What does this have to do with it? Anyway, with the empress watching, what else can happen?" Qing Xin said calmly, "At that time, it will be a good wake-up call for Tian Jieyu and others, so that they know that the palace is a powerful place and people's hearts are unpredictable. !”
In short, in the eyes of the Qing Dynasty, Tian Jieyu and others came to the palace with errands, not just to enjoy the blessings of being empresses.
In this case, it is within the bounds of duty to bear some risks and consequences, or even directly use it as a bait to test Jiang.
Even if they encounter trouble or even have any bad consequences because of this, they can only blame themselves for their lack of luck.
Hong'e, on the other hand, thinks that this Jiang can't be trusted, so it's better to ignore her.
Even if Chunjia treats this newcomer differently, how busy is the emperor? He didn't mean to dote on Mrs. Jiang either.
The queen may still be worried and wait and see. After a while, if the emperor doesn't think of it, she may have to take revenge.
No matter how easy-tongued Gu Zhen is, she is still the heir to the palace who came from a noble family. Do you really think she has no temper for a poor family
The two sides couldn't argue, and they argued back and forth for a long time. Finally, Yun Fenghuang thought about it for a while, interrupted them, and said: "First of all, let's find out, what exactly does Jiang think that I am protecting her?"
This is not difficult. With the current position and power of Xuanqing Palace in the palace, the imperial concubine made arrangements and soon got the result. That is, when Yan Yin sent people to Xiuzhuo Palace to meet Jiang alone, it was to tell her that the imperial concubine He valued her and encouraged her to study hard and not to disgrace the imperial concubine at the Mid-Autumn Festival banquet... When the emperor's most useful servant said this, he was euphemistically telling Jiang Mingdan that as long as she did not perform abnormally, the imperial concubine would protect her. A concubine, and she was registered with the emperor!
For a moment, the masters and servants of Huanhua Hall were in complicated moods. Even Hongcai said calmly: "It seems... Jiang's gratitude to our empress must be true?"
After all, from Jiang Mingdan's point of view, she was forced to make trouble, offending not only the Huang family and the Gao family, but also the queen.
At this time, the imperial concubine stepped forward, supporting, escorting the concubine, and recommending to the emperor. Moreover, the imperial concubine said this because both parties were from poor families and had the same experiences and difficulties... Everyone should go to the imperial concubine. Come closer!
"She may be sincere now, but she may not be able to tell in the future." Yun Fenghuang sighed and said leisurely, "No fate means no fate. Regardless of whether she is sincere or not, in short, it should be available for the time being, so let her go. stop."
After all, Mrs. Jiang can no longer give birth.
As a concubine, how many grievances can be greater than this one
Ever since Chen Jing took over, Yun Fenghuang had never thought about living in harmony with the Jiang family.
After being reminded by the imperial concubine, the attendants all sighed when they thought of this. Chen Jing even took the initiative to ask for orders: "Or else you can say that this is the slave's own decision..."
"Just a new Jieyu, if you make enemies, you will make enemies. I won't ask you to stand up and take the blame." Yun Fenghuang said quietly, "Besides, we all know that you are the person I need. , but you still dare to do such a big thing on your own initiative, is this a roundabout way of saying that I am incompetent and that you don’t even know the true face of the people close to you?"
Although it was a bit regretful to lose a general, Yun Fenghuang didn't pay much attention to the Jiang family.
Anyway, the emperor is still young, and there will be many newcomers in the future.
With her status, position, and power, are she afraid that she won't be able to win over more chess pieces
However, considering that the Jiang family has just entered the palace, there is a high probability that they are not aware of Chen Jing's handiwork at this moment. The attitude of coming to surrender in person may be out of gratitude or because they want to find a convenient backer. No matter which one it is, at least not yet. Planning to betray.
The next day, the queen went to Yunfenghuang to discuss the arrangements for sleeping arrangements for the newlyweds, and said, "His Majesty should have made the decision himself, but His Majesty was busy with government affairs, so he didn't pay attention to it. He just said that we would watch over the arrangements. But I wonder what your concubine’s plans are?”
When Jieyu was originally canonized, the order was in the order of Xie Runan, Huang Lingya, Jiang Mingdan and Lu... Lu was the one recommended by Wei Hengyan for the title of Jieyu.
The queen means that the bed attendants should also follow this order.
She had actually given in. After all, logically speaking, Huang Lingyahe should be ranked ahead of Xie Runan.
However, Yun Fenghuang still proposed that Jiang Mingdan should be ahead of Huang Lingya.
Of course Gu Zhen was very angry, but Yun Fenghuang said plausibly: "His Majesty personally sent someone to see this when we were still in Xiuzhuo Palace. How could it be compared to this Huang family? I didn't even hear about this Huang family." I've heard of it. What else can Your Majesty expect from her?"
The Queen couldn't help but said: "Your niece Xie Runan, if you hadn't recommended it, I would never have heard of it!"
Then he said, "I heard that this newlywed will serve His Majesty not long after his biological parents passed away. Do you think it is appropriate?"
"She has already descended from the same clan, and her father and mother are well-behaved. Otherwise, how could she be able to enter the palace?" Yun Fenghuang said lightly, "Is it possible that according to the empress' wishes, something will happen to King Fuyang's lineage in the future? Does Your Majesty have to take care of it personally? The Queen Mother is still here, and the Queen Mother’s words will hurt her heart too much!"
The queen knew that she couldn't quarrel with her, so she pinched her brows and said, "It's just a temporary thing to go to bed early and go to bed late. There's nothing to argue about. I remember that Mrs. Jiang has nothing to do with you. Now you suddenly speak for her. Is it because she paid a visit to you before? But you didn't see her at that time... Well, you are very confident. First it was Wei Hengyan, and now it's Jiang. You couldn't sleep with him, so you kept giving it to His Majesty. Introduce other people. Are you not afraid at all that the dove will occupy the magpie's nest and be turned into the guest?"
Yun Fenghuang said: "What are you talking about? As concubines, it is our duty to serve His Majesty. As long as His Majesty is happy, what does it matter about you?"
She must act like a virtuous and virtuous woman. The queen could not argue but could not take action. The concubines argued for a long time. Finally, the queen was tired and lost the battle, and agreed to Xie Runan's first place, Jiang Mingdan's second, and Huang Lingya's. 3. The order of the fourth Lu family. As for the other newcomers in the same class, they are all concubines. It depends on the individual's destiny.
However, the plan did not change quickly. Yun Fenghuang resigned from Yanfu Palace with satisfaction. When he returned to Huanhua Palace, he saw the Qing people and other attendants frowning and coming up to report: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty just came to visit His Highness the King of Jin. , Jiang Cainv is waiting inside."
