Treacherous Living in the Imperial Harem

Chapter 97: Emperor Don’t you like me the most? !

Views:

Moving from Ziquan Palace to Xuanqing Palace was more troublesome in terms of distance and complexity than moving from Xixingxuan to Ziquan Palace.

However, the speed is faster.

Because not only did the Central Palace send enough people to help, but the Third Palace and Sixth Court were also considerate.

Even Yuan Yuniang has been staying in Ningbi Hall without any intention of finding trouble.

"You must have heard about the conduct of this palace, but the most embarrassing thing is that you can't rub it in your eyes." However, on the 67th, the Huanhua Hall after repairs and sweeps had a completely new look. The clouds and wind were covered with jade palace clothes, and the sheep Although the attire is not grand, the palace servants, who were kneeling in black crows, did not dare to slack off. They lowered their heads one after another in a sign of submission, "I will not treat those who work hard, and those who are two-faced. I can spare you, but the rules of the palace will not tolerate mercy!"

A group of palace servants, both old and young, kowtowed one after another and promised: "I will fulfill my duties faithfully and live up to Empress Jieyu!"

"Yes." Yun Fenghuang didn't care how sincere they were when they said this. After all, they had just met each other, so it was a bit natural to expect these people to be reliable. "Get up, everyone. Today is a good day for me. It's fitting. I also wish you happiness."

While speaking, Nian Xuan, the only one who did not fall to the ground along with everyone else, took out the lacquer tray and filled the purses with silver coins one by one.

This time, because of the promotion to Jieyu, there were suddenly more manpower to serve, but Yun Fenghuang had no intention of readjusting personnel matters. Chen Zhu was still the head of the chamberlain, and all the newly added eunuchs were left to him to arrange; the palace maids Here is Xile, Liu Hong and Nianxuan are the leaders. I am not too embarrassed to openly oppose her.

But the two palace maids, who originally came from Yanfu Palace and were naturally closer to each other, are now more or less in harmony with each other.

This is exactly what Yun Fenghuang hopes to see. She has no foundation in the palace, and she doesn't even dare to trust Nian Xuan, who she grew up with. It's not a good thing for her if the people below her are too united.

For example, the head of the chamberlain still uses Chen Zhu, not only because of nostalgia, but also because Chen Zhu is young and inexperienced. Not to mention Chen Sheng before, let’s just say that among the people the queen has hired this time, there are two people who are more experienced and capable than him. Three of them, without the support of Yun Fenghuang, he would not be able to sit in his current position.

For his own benefit, he would cling to his master even if Yun Fenghuang beat him.

"Nowadays, the palace maids are not in harmony with each other. Chen Zhuchun, the chambermaid, is what he is today because of my promotion. Those old people are not fuel-efficient lamps." Yun Fenghuang carefully considered the situation in Xuanqing Palace and felt that he could rest assured at first, "Xijing You are very strong but you are not able to be the best person around me. There are quite a few of the servants who are making progress... In order to go further, they will compete with each other to serve me."

She was quite satisfied with the start. As for truly loyal and trustworthy manpower, it could not be achieved in a short time.

Yun Fenghuang doesn't have the ability or intention to compete with the real big guys in the palace yet, so he can try to do it slowly.

"The Empress, Xu Bengong, and Wei Jieyu stood by to watch the selection of girls." She thought for a while, called Nian Xuan to her side and told her, "When the time comes, you can go with me and select some good-looking women for me."

Nianxuan nodded vigorously: "My servant will understand."

She breathed a clear sigh of relief, "Fortunately, the empress has been promoted to the throne now."

When Yun Fenghuang asked her for the formula of the anti-child medicine before, she didn't think much about it because she was still recovering from her injuries. Later, she found out that Yun Fenghuang had used the medicine on herself, and she almost fainted on the spot - now she listened to Yun Fenghuang. Feng Huang was very interested in having a child through his mother's womb. Although he still felt regretful, he was finally relieved.

After all, as the head of Xuanqing Palace, if Yun Fenghuang's palace members gave birth to an imperial heir, they would basically be given to Yun Fenghuang to raise, which is equivalent to helping her give birth to children.

In fact, this was the reason why Empress Ji had previously asked Yun Fenghuang and Wei Hengyan to accept a few more newcomers in the palace, but was unwilling to give more newcomers to the old people and the palace without the throne.

This batch of newcomers was originally selected for the purpose of procreating heirs. The principle of selection was that they should be innocent, beautiful and suitable children, preferably Yi men.

Even if one or two people fail, it is impossible for so many people to enter the palace without good news.

If this were done in the palace of Concubines Shu and Concubine Xin, it would be like giving them more wings than a tiger, which would not be in the Queen's interest.

If it is a palace without a master, any master can fight for custody rights, which is also troublesome.

Even if the queen has the advantage, the middle palace has a special status. It seems that the queen does not intend to adopt other children personally unless it is absolutely necessary. At this time, it is necessary for a concubine like Yun Fenghuang, who is close to the middle palace, to step in and take the emperor's heir. Holding it in your hand, you can not only cheer up the queen, but also not cause trouble to the queen in daily life.

As for Wei Hengyan, who had no clear backer in the palace, he seemed to be trying to win over Empress Ji.

"Tell the people below not to be lazy. The whole palace must be properly cleaned." Yun Fenghuang ordered again, "Lest the newcomers not have a good stay after they come in. If word spreads, everyone will say that I, the master of the palace, have not considered it well." Nothing like this can be done properly.”

Nian Xuan and Xile quickly promised to supervise and supervise their subordinates and never cause Yun Fenghuang to lose face.

In fact, Yun Fenghuang didn't care in her heart, and even wished that something happened so that she could scare the monkeys... These were all trivial matters.

What worries her now is that the emperor has been in charge so far and nothing has gone wrong. Where will she go in this palace

Just as he was thinking about it, Chen Jing came in to report that the emperor was here.

"Your Majesty has just gone to court at this time. He has not even returned to the Taichu Palace, so he comes directly to me?" Yun Fenghuang hurriedly arranged his clothes and went out to greet me. He saw the emperor Mianqi neatly walking down from the imperial carriage.

She went up to bless her, and asked with a smile, "How can I be so virtuous and capable that your majesty values me so much?"

Emperor Chunjia glanced at her and said nothing. After entering the main hall and taking a seat, he looked around and then sneered: "You are really good at picking places."

Yun Fenghuang said: "That's of course. After all, this place is not just where I live, but His Majesty is also coming. In a few days, new people will be added, and His Majesty will come to welcome the new people. Will there be more people coming? I am here." If you wrong yourself, you cannot wrong Your Majesty, let alone those who serve His Majesty!"

"You have a point in everything." The emperor was used to her strong words. He hesitated when he heard her words and didn't bother to argue. He just asked everyone to step back and then said calmly, "Uncle Wang recommended the meeting today. Several people have become officials, including the eldest son of the Qi family in the North."

"Can I know about this kind of temple matter?" Yun Fenghuang's expression remained unchanged and he asked curiously, "Did your Majesty reject it?"

Emperor Chunjia smiled half-heartedly and said, "Even if I don't tell you, will you be honest?"

"If I am honest, will Your Majesty continue to like me?" Yun Fenghuang chuckled, raising his sleeves to cover his lips, his eyes flowing, "As a concubine, the most important thing is to make Your Majesty happy. As for the false reputation, what does it count? As long as I am good to Your Majesty, I don’t think much about other things.”

It's like sacrificing yourself more for the emperor.

The emperor couldn't help laughing: "So the virtuous concubines of the past and present have done something wrong?"

"Your Majesty says they are wrong, then they must be wrong." Yun Fenghuang said slyly, "If Your Majesty thinks they are right, then they are right! I will obey your Majesty in everything!"

The emperor said: "Then I hope you will be like those virtuous people?"

"I am very virtuous now!" Yun Fenghuang said plausibly, "At most, because I am young, I occasionally misunderstand His Majesty's meaning, so I do some things that disappoint His Majesty. But my original intention is to do something for His Majesty. Your Majesty shares your worries and solves your problems, doesn’t it? I am sincere to you, and the sun and the moon can be seen from the heaven and the earth... "

The emperor stopped with a dark face: "You really made this oath out of your mouth, I am really not surprised."

"It's not surprising, that's right." Yun Fenghuang said seriously, "This shows that my loyalty to Your Majesty has penetrated into all aspects, and Your Majesty is used to it..."

"...If you weren't so young, I really want to beat you." Emperor Chunjia was silent for a moment and sighed, "After all this sophistry, I have forgotten what I wanted to say to you."

No matter what you want to say, it has something to do with Qi Jiulu anyway.

Yun Fenghuang thought this in his heart, sat down next to him, shook his arm and asked: "By the way, your majesty, the regent has recommended people to become officials, so has your majesty arranged a marriage for my adoptive father?" Fatty?"

Emperor Chunjia turned to look at her: "Fat Chai?"

You can tell your purpose just from your title, okay

"I listen to Duke Yi!" Yun Fenghuang said immediately, "Anyway, the wealth will not flow to outsiders, right?"

If you feel that these words are reprehensible, go and deal with Duke Yi.

The emperor laughed angrily: "No! Your adoptive father is a brother of Yi Guogong. If he was capable, how could Duke Yi not support him all these years? Since he has not supported him all these years, eight achievements will not work... I have so many clues now. Yes, by arranging such a person, wouldn’t he be causing trouble for me?!”

Seeing what Yun Fenghuang wanted to say, he grimaced, "If you keep telling me, don't go to escape the summer heat! Stay in the palace to reflect, and let me be clean for a few months."

Things to escape from the summer heat were already in progress before the summer banquet. If not unexpectedly, most of the former harem would have gone to the palace on the mountain.

The main reason for the delay was that the Empress Dowager was ill and could not bear the fatigue of traveling and riding.

But Yun Fenghuang found out in the past two days that this year's summer vacation has not been canceled because of this, but it is still planned to proceed as usual... Maybe the Queen Mother has recovered a lot, or maybe because the Queen Mother has not recovered, she can't bear the heat in Miyagi even more .

So this time during the move, she simply left many of the boxes unopened, hoping that it would be more convenient when she left.

At this moment, he curled his lips when he heard this, paused for a moment, and then muttered unwillingly: "Then His Majesty has taken charge of the government, and as your favorite concubine, I can't not take advantage of it, right?"

"You have the nerve to talk about it." The emperor shook his head, thought for a while, and said, "By the way, Ming Hui's matter..."

Yun Fenghuang said in astonishment: "Your Majesty, you didn't take charge of the government before, so forget it if this matter is difficult to handle. Now that you have taken charge of the government, do you still need a concubine for such a trivial matter?"

The emperor frowned and said: "It is precisely because I am in charge that it is difficult to mention this matter... You are always smart and you can't understand such a simple truth?"

Of course I understand!

Having just come into power, I am still carefully negotiating with all parties, just like starting a business. Every penny needs to be fought over and cherished, so I don't want to pay extra for Princess Minghui's marriage.

"But it is not easy for me to become a concubine." Yun Fenghuang murmured in his heart and shrugged regretfully, "If I offend the Ji family now, if I am demoted, I may not have a second chance to return to my concubine. Bit!"

If you want to cherish your feathers, don’t I need them? !

Seeing Emperor Chunjia frowning slightly, she smiled tenderly and lay on his shoulder, whispering in a low voice, "But, if Your Majesty really can't bear to leave His Highness the Princess, it's not that I can't help. It's just that I can't handle this matter alone." Come on, I need your Majesty's help..."

The emperor looked calm at first, but as he listened, veins gradually appeared on his forehead, and the corners of his mouth twitched: "You... you are really..."

However, after thinking about it again and again, he finally sighed, "That's all, for Minghui... It's just your little thought, it's just this once, there will be no next time!"

"Your Majesty, don't worry. There's nothing I can do about it." Seeing him relent, Yun Fenghuang immediately squeezed his shoulders and arms diligently and said sweetly, "Are I such a senseless person?"

"..." The emperor rolled his eyes at her, no longer bothering to settle old scores, "Then it's settled, if you dare to play tricks, I will conquer the Xie family tomorrow!"

Now the corner of Yun Fenghuang's mouth twitched: "I am already the daughter of the Yun family, what else do you want from the Xie family!"

"Don't you like me the most?" The emperor sneered, "I like you too. It's inconvenient for me to be a favor to your adoptive father, but I'm a favor to your biological father's family and repay the favor of having children on your behalf. What's the problem? You should thank me immediately. In the future Just serve me more and more carefully!"

Seeing Yun Fenghuang's aggrieved expression, wanting to retort and not knowing where to start for a while, Emperor Chunjia felt really comfortable. He touched her temples with a smile, and then rubbed it, "So, be good, ah ?”
