The Qing Dynasty said: "Do you still remember that there were rumors in the Xiuzhuo Palace that Jing Jieyu stepped on many innocent and poor family members to get the concubine position for herself? This time, four Jieyu were registered. Tian Jieyu, Li Jieyu and Lu Jieyu all have the support of the empress and you. Those people dare to be angry and dare not speak out, but they can just pay it back. However, Jing Jieyu is said to be like most Cai Nu, from a humble family background. His origins are innocent. He didn’t have any support in the previous harem. But in the end, he was promoted to the title of Jieyu. Doesn’t this prove true?"
As the saying goes, you don't worry about being few but about inequality. If all the helpless women are not accepted as concubines, they may be envious, jealous, and privately slander people like Xie Runan, and they may also unite in a certain sense... or even I will be grateful to Jiang Mingdan who is willing to stand up at critical moments.
But Jiang Mingdan has been crowned as a concubine!
Not to mention that there had been such rumors before, even if there hadn't been, there would definitely be a group of people who would have doubted her original motives out of jealousy.
After all, the gap between concubines and concubines is so big, how many people can not be tempted
"Jing Jieyu was still patient in explaining at first, but then she stopped explaining at all. She scolded anyone who said anything about her." Qing Ren slightly curved his mouth, holding back a smile, and said, "You know, this Empress Jieyu was very articulate, and even those Cai Nu who were supported by the Queen were not as good as her when they attacked in groups. What’s more, those Cai Nu who were trembling in front of the Huang family and the Gao family? Originally, I saw Jing Jieyu giving them a good talk. , they are still bossy and feel that Jing Jieyu owes them. Seeing that Jing Jieyu has become tougher, she does not dare to make mistakes. "
Then after Jiang Mingdan went through this section, he also realized that these so-called sisters who originally thought they were in the same boat were not reliable.
At least most of them were unreliable and alienated them out of frustration.
It's just that there are inevitably exceptions to everything, but there are also some individuals who provide help in times of need and clearly express their support for her.
So when the young Jing Jieyu was in charge of the palace, she specially sought favors from the queen and gathered these people under her command.
Of course her idea is that these are her own people and can be taken care of easily in her palace.
Who knows, there are so many lamps here that are not fuel-efficient.
They communicated with Jiang Mingdan openly, but kept making little moves in private. What made Jiang Mingdan the most angry was that these people even believed that they were "sisters" to Jiang Mingdan and wanted to cut her off!
After being discovered by Jiang Mingdan, she suppressed her anger and asked, and several concubines said in unison: "You have said it a long time ago, we are all sisters, we share hardships and share blessings. In this case, whoever serves His Majesty, why bother? Why are you so careful? Besides, you are Jieyu, the head of the palace, and you have a place even in front of empresses and concubines. We would be pitiful. We are just concubines, and their lives are as cheap as grass. If we don’t have one, What will you do in the future with a son and a half daughter? My dear sister, you have always been the most kind-hearted, so don’t argue with your sisters!"
Jiang Mingdan was not stupid. Even if he was a little naive in the past, how could he be so easy to fool when things happened one after another
She didn't talk much to these people. As long as Chunjia went to her palace, she would take every one of them and grab them if she could. She didn't intend to give anyone in the palace any chance at all!
"This Xing-zi..." Yun Fenghuang listened, sighed slightly, and said thoughtfully, "It's no wonder that Your Majesty misunderstood at first, and was extra kind to her because of me... This Xing-zi is different from me. Palace, there are some similarities."
Qingren said softly: "But she does not have the blessings of the empress."
Yun Fenghuang said with some regret: "It's a pity. If she didn't enter the palace and met her elsewhere, she might have gotten along very well with me..."
She shook her head. She was not a person who was sad about the spring and autumn. Besides, ever since Chen Jing took over, this Jiang family was destined not to be a real partner with her. She just said a few words of regret, and just said, "Then she If you do this, will anyone in the palace do anything?"
"Why not?" said the Qing people. "They first gathered together to cry and make trouble for Jing Jieyu. After Jing Jieyu ordered the palace people to disperse, they also wanted to go to the Queen to make the decision. But when they reached the palace gate, they were stopped. They said it was Jing Jieyu's order, and no one was allowed to leave the palace without her permission! After that, these people bribed some palace maids, hoping to convey the message on their behalf. However, when Jing Jieyu found out, he forced them to go to the garden overnight. Collecting dew, she was also required to wear dance clothes and hairpin rings, in order to better serve His Majesty. After all, as a newcomer from a poor family, Jieyu had no wealth and could not get something fresh for His Majesty, so she could only let the palace The concubines are working together to prepare some good dew for His Majesty to make tea."
Think about it, a group of girls who are fifteen or sixteen years old but no more than seventeen years old, on this late autumn night, wear dance clothes that only look good and do not consider keeping warm to collect dew. What will be the consequences
They all reported illness early the next morning!
Although due to differences in personal physiques, there are some who are exceptionally strong and fine, but if a few are really sick, others will naturally follow suit. Otherwise, what if Jing Jieyu lets them continue? And according to their thinking, this can better put pressure on Jing Jieyu.
As a result, the palace maid came to the queen, and the queen called Jing Jieyu over to ask. Jing Jieyu said humbly: "Returning to the queen, I did not allow the palace people to serve your majesty, and I did not allow them to come. The main hall, but this is because they are all sick, and they are afraid that they will be sick to Your Majesty. As for my concubine, although I dare not compare with Your Majesty, I still serve His Majesty, so how can I dare to be infected with the cold by them? "
Of course the queen knew what had happened, so she asked casually: "It is said that the reason why the concubines got sick is because you asked them to collect dew all night? Why don't you let the palace people do such a thing, but instruct the concubines? ?Furthermore, let them wear dance clothes?"
"Back to the Queen." Jing Jieyu came prepared and said calmly, "Of course the palace people can also collect dew, but I think about it, the palace people are mostly vulgar and not as delicate as the palace concubines who have been selected through layers of selection. Some. Your Majesty is the lord of ten thousand chariots, and he is the one who enters the entrance. Not just anyone can serve you. People like me, thanks to the great love of the heavenly family, are able to serve you closely, so I should keep it in mind. It’s just a matter of collecting dew. , what does it count? As for wearing dance clothes, this is because the dance clothes are light and difficult to go to secluded or dirty places. After they finish collecting, they only need to check the clothes to know whether they are lazy."
The queen couldn't help but said, "Then why aren't you like them? Is it possible that when you serve His Majesty, you only talk the talk and let the people below you do the work?"
"Returning to the Queen, I haven't slept a wink all night, and I've been making arrangements in the middle." Jing Jieyu said confidently, "And people in the palace have always said that I am Jieyu, the head of the first palace, and under your majesty, There are more opportunities to show your face in front of the empress. It is rare to have such a way to serve Your Majesty. If I do everything myself, wouldn’t they be dissatisfied? I am also doing it for their own good. "
Gu Zhen looked at her and felt like he was seeing another Concubine Min. He didn't bother to look into it further, so he waved his hand and let her go.
As for the palace concubines who were still waiting for news, of course she no longer paid attention.
Originally, the people in the palace who were disobedient to the throne had a tacit understanding.
When Gu Zhen was Mrs. Yaoning, the concubines under her command acted mischievously, and it was not like she didn't give them any warning.
What's more, now that he is in the middle palace, how can he like this kind of thorn
Anyway, as a queen, she asked questions when she received the news, but found no problems.
It would be considered kind not to punish those concubines for talking nonsense.
... Yun Fenghuang laughed when he heard what happened: "I really have two brushes. It's a pity that I entered the palace a little late. I may not have a chance in the future."
Those who hold high positions in the palace today are not as easily shaken as those who held high positions during Chunjia's wedding.
In fact, people like Empress Ji Lingzi and former imperial concubine Zheng Shangchu are not really soft persimmons.
In the final analysis, the rise of Chunjia has an irresolvable conflict with their natal family. Therefore, whenever the emperor comes to power, even if there is no Yun Fenghuang and others to add fuel to the flames, the high position in the harem will definitely be replaced.
Yun Fenghuang was lucky enough to catch this opportunity, and was able to break the gap between high-ranking and poor families and become the most powerful person in the palace, second only to the queen.
But now, the emperor has been in power for some time, and the overall situation in the former harem has tended to be stable.
Even if there are still some stumbling blocks, it is unlikely to brew into a widespread turmoil.
Even Chunjia himself must be seeking stability in his heart.
After all, all his major enemies have been dealt with. The next step is to try to revive the country and add to his reputation in the history of the world.
Under such circumstances, he was often implicated and noble people fell one after another, which made him appear to be incompetent as an emperor and unable to control the situation.
If the emperor thinks about it this way, everyone will naturally be concerned.
Even if Jing Jieyu was agile and intelligent, she would never be able to stand out as quickly as Yun Fenghuang.
Yun Fenghuang pondered for a while and then asked: "She said before that she would move around more with Ru Nan and the others. Is this really true these days?"
"It's true." The Qing people said with regret, "The one Jing Jieyu has the most contact with now is Tian Jieyu. For this reason, Tian Jieyu even sent someone to ask for instructions. The maid followed the empress's instructions. Let her treat each other with courtesy. The two parties actually had a good conversation... Jing Jieyu also taught Tian Jieyu some tips on how to take care of the palace."
Yun Fenghuang sighed: "This is her qualification! She has only been in the palace for a few days, and she already has the experience of taking care of the palace. On the other hand, for Ru Nan, the palace has specially arranged people to assist, but it is nothing more than that."
The Qing people apologized and said, "But Tian Jieyu and the others always have their hearts for the empress."
She dared to say such things, but Yun Fenghuang didn't bother to believe her. He just said, "Has there been any news from Beidi recently? I haven't heard anything in a few days."
"It was said that they had already reached Wang Ting. But they retreated overnight, and now they are chasing on the plain. I'm afraid it will be difficult to achieve results in a while." Qingren said helplessly, "Hu'er can ride a horse at the age of ten... Even if the opponent is They carry a lot of baggage, but there are constant nuisances from large and small tribes on the plain, and even women can draw their bows, so Marquis Jingning has a plan of playing it safe. Although it is not suitable for anything to happen, it also slows down the speed."
"This Wei He is also weird..." After all, it has been a while since the Xie family was destroyed. No matter how grief-stricken he was, he had already breathed a sigh of relief.
Yun Fenghuang calmed down and muttered, "First the brothers fought for the throne, and the old Khan died inexplicably. Then the uncle and nephew turned against each other, good times and bad... going back and forth, as if they were trying to seriously injure themselves. ."
She thought that after Ji Minggan faked his death and escaped, he first caused floods in the south, and then went all the way north. There was a shadow of this man in Huizhou City, and he was probably inseparable from Wei He.
In the past, when the Ji family was in power, if they could destroy Wei He, their contribution would always be recorded in the history books.
But now that Duke Ye and others are gone, from Ji Minggan's point of view, I'm afraid he wishes Wei He was stronger and even counterattacked the country, right
Thinking about it this way, I'm afraid that whenever Ji Minggan escapes from the country, he will definitely contact Xifa and others to make suggestions...
And Ji Minggan is the only known surviving male heir of the Ji family. Although he had no reputation when he was a companion, he must have some ability to escape the arrest of the Imperial City Division for so long
I wonder what tricks he would give Wei He
The imperial concubine's doubts did not last long, and soon there was new news in the North.
