Yun Fenghuang said with a smile: "At that time, I was raising a child for the first time, so I was inevitably in a hurry. Maybe I didn't teach him well. It's our turn to be fifteen. This is the time when I am a mother and concubine. How can I still do it? Is it the same as before?"

Chunjia secretly praised her for treating her adopted sons and daughters equally, although Yun Fenghuang would not care if he hinted that King Jin was far superior to other children.

But as the biological father of all the emperor's heirs, he treats his children equally and appreciates the benevolent concubine after all.

Now that Yun Fenghuang has accused Zhaoqing of not being generous enough when he was young, how can he not make the emperor more firmly believe that Concubine Min is really good to the emperor's heir

The two of them chatted around King Jin for a while, and Chunjia calmly brought the topic to Xie Wuzheng: "I remember that he adopted a pair of twin sisters from the Xie family before. When he first came to the Imperial Capital, they seemed to be better than us. Fifteen is not much older now, and it is said that he is very cute... Fortunately, he was brought out by the consort to accompany Sui'an, otherwise, if he had stayed in Huizhou, he would have been unscathed. I don't know what Sui'an and him have been doing these days. how."

Afraid that Yun Fenghuang would be suspicious, he quickly added an explanation, "The Mianfu Palace reported that Concubine Shen has been a little ill recently. Although she hasn't reported it yet, I thought that at this time, it's better not to go out. Whatever is good."

"I see." As expected, Yun Fenghuang was a little wary when he saw him taking the initiative to mention Sui'an and his wife. Although Chunjia was not harsh to Sui'an, after all, they were alienated by blood, and Sui'an was not very close to him either. Normally, I can't think of this sister at all.

The emperor's concern for Xie Wuzheng was even less.

Even if he gets interested, it may not be a good thing.

Now that she suddenly took the initiative to talk about it, how could she not be worried

But when I heard that it was for Concubine Shen, I understood. It should be that the Queen and I didn't think carefully about it and didn't pay attention to Concubine Shen's illness.

But I am afraid that if I speak out directly, I will be unable to step down.

"Your Majesty, please forgive me. Originally, the concubine was an elder, and Her Royal Highness, Princess Sui'an, was not in the imperial capital, so I and the empress were supposed to go around frequently." She immediately apologized and explained, "But originally, I was with the empress. After the queen went there several times, she accidentally learned that the concubine liked to have a pure nature and was not very happy to be disturbed by people like me. From then on, I and the empress did not dare to come near me without the concubine’s instructions. . But I don’t know that the concubine is so out of touch, and she has a minor illness, and she doesn’t tell people like me.”

This is half true and half false. It is true that Concubine Shen and Concubine Wu don't like fun. The main reason is that Chunjia is not Xiaozong's biological son. When Xiaozong was still in the Yuan Dynasty, his relationship with Chunjia was not very good.

As Xiaozong's concubines, how could they have any position to dictate to Chunjia's harem

Pian Chunjia's harem has not been stable so far. The two concubines were worried that the concubines would be involved in some disputes because of the frequent greetings. They did take the initiative to hint that the harem should not be too restrained. They were used to being quiet. I am not used to greeting God when I see him.

The emperor didn't care much about the two eldest princesses, let alone the concubines. Hearing this, he naturally wouldn't blame Yun Fenghuang. He noticed the concubine's misunderstanding and breathed a sigh of relief, saying, "I plan to go back to meet the concubines. Talking about Sui'an and his wife, but I don't know if you have any news here?"

Yun Fenghuang thought for a while and said: "Brother Twenty-one is in the army now, where did he get the news? As for His Highness Sui'an, he is now in Huizhou City with my eighteenth sister-in-law."

After counting the days, she sighed softly, "Eighteen sister-in-law... seems to be giving birth soon. It doesn't matter whether she is a boy or a girl, but I hope that both mother and son are in peace."

Chunjia comforted her with a few words, promising to show favor to Xie Xiaoyu and Xiao Cui's children. She took the opportunity to tell many things about Xie Wuzheng before and after he surrendered to the army. Finally, seeing that it was getting late, he got up and left.

Returning to the Taichu Palace, the emperor pondered for a long time, then called the people in front of him and ordered: "Summon the envoy from the Imperial City to see me."

Yun Fenghuang didn't know that the spy who was killed at the same time as Ke Ding was actually related to Xie Wuzheng, but he seriously considered what to give Xiao Cui for her pregnancy.

It took her two hours to prepare the gift herself. She looked at the long gift list and sighed, "I hope the ancestors of the Xie family will protect me."

Don't be like the little Jiang family before, where a happy event turns into a funeral.

Everyone hurriedly comforted him, saying that since Xiao Cui was an important minister, it was obvious that he had great blessings, and he would definitely not be as unlucky as Xiao Jiang.

But this is just a perfunctory remark. After all, with Xiao Cui's background, is it possible that Yin Xiang can be as good as her

Yun Fenghuang shook his head and simply didn't think much about it.

After the emperor personally announced the crusade against Wei He, although the previous dynasty was nervous about it for a while, the harem did not feel deeply about it.

Especially the newcomers who had just entered the palace were fighting with each other so fiercely that they did not care about military and national affairs at all.

First, Jing Jieyu took the initiative to make friends with Tian Jieyu on the pretext of paying homage to Concubine Xie Min. Li Jieyu, not to be outdone, immediately visited Lu Jieyu in person.

At first Lu Jieyu refused, because she relied on Concubine De to get to the position, but who didn't know that Concubine De came up on Concubine De's lap? Concubine De did not dare to offend the imperial concubine, let alone her

But Li Jieyu also had a reason: "My sister is loyal to the Imperial Concubine, but it is precisely because of this that you have to join forces with your sister! Do you think that His Majesty has always doted on the Imperial Concubine? Over the years, many people have entered the palace one after another. Except for the fact that His Majesty was still a little fresh when he first came, who would not be forgotten after that? If you are lucky enough, like the eldest Xu family, if you are pregnant, it is just to make a wedding dress for the throne! Those who are unlucky will just stay alone in the empty house from now on, and the beauty will be empty and old! Of course, you and I are both Jieyu. If you have a son and a half, you can raise it by yourself. But who can say for sure about the fate of children and heirs? What? The imperial concubine has been doting favors over the years, and her only biological child is His Royal Highness Prince Jin!"

"My sister is pretty and pretty. Your Majesty is just busy with government affairs, but how much time do you have to find the good things about your sister?"

"If we don't fight now while His Majesty is still warm to us, why don't we worry about it when His Majesty forgets who we are?"

"What's more, the imperial concubine has brought her cousins, cousins, and nieces into the palace. It shows that she is not jealous."

"Otherwise, how could I help Empress Dowager De and promote my sister as Jieyu?"

"Besides, I just want to target the two people over there with my sister, and I have no intention of going against the Imperial Concubine and the Imperial Concubine."

"Sister wants to be loyal to Concubine De. After being favored, wouldn't there be more people who can serve Concubine De?"

She said meaningfully, "At the beginning, the imperial concubine was also loyal to the Empress of the Yuan Dynasty, so was she able to receive all kinds of favors from the Empress of the Yuan Dynasty?"

Afterwards, when Empress Yuan lost power, Yun Fenghuang took advantage of the situation to break away from Ji Lingzi's control and turned against the emperor. Now she has become the emperor's favorite concubine, and she does not dare to offend her former harem!

Regardless of whether Lu Jieyu was true or false to the emperor, everyone had entered the palace. In order to live a more comfortable life for herself, she definitely didn't want to fall out of favor just after she came.

It's not that she doesn't want to fight, it's just that she's afraid of offending Concubine De and Concubine De.

After being incited by Li Jieyu, she felt that what she said made sense. She hesitated for a while and said, "I understand. It's just that the matter is serious. Can you let me think about it?"

Li Jieyu knew that this was a delaying tactic, and she probably thought that since they were joining forces to fight for favor, why did they have to go to her, the Queen's side, instead of going to Tian Jieyu and Jingjieyu's people, so she sneered slightly and said : "Does my sister think that Tian Jieyu Jingjieyu is also very nice? But this sister has to remind her that if she plans this way, she will only cheat herself!"

She didn't wait for Lu Jieyu to speak, and said in a cold voice, "Although Jing Jieyu is not of high birth, her scheming is deep and pervasive. Otherwise, how could she be the one who would be promoted to concubine from a prostitute this time? Sister?" Please look at her behavior since she was enthroned. First, she went to the Xuanqing Palace to pay her respects under the banner of thanking Concubine Min for her care. We all came from Xiuzhuo Palace. Concubine Min paid attention to Tian Jieyu and the others, but when did she pay attention to them? Have you ever visited Jing Jieyu? Your Majesty’s father-in-law once visited Jing Jieyu. We all know that Concubine Min has been your Majesty’s favorite over the years. How could Concubine Min like Jing Jieyu being treated like this by Your Majesty? The master you have paid attention to?"

"It's a shame she can say such things with empty words!"

"My sister must also know that Concubine Min didn't see her that day, right?"

"It can be seen that Concubine Min doesn't want to see her! It's just that the Concubine has a lot of people and doesn't bother to expose her little thoughts."

"So she knew that she couldn't fool the imperial concubine, so she settled for the next best thing and came together with Tian Jieyu!"

"It can be seen that this person says that he hates people like us who have backers behind him, but in fact, he is doing everything he can to get a high position!"

"With all due respect, my sister, the reason why I can be this Jieyu is all because of Concubine De. And Tian Jieyu's ability to be among the best in everything is of course due to Concubine Concubine. My sister was also worried just now. Concubine De, is it because of her sex- You are gentle and gentle, unlike the noble concubine who is vigorous and resolute."

"Then, even if my sister goes to Tian Jieyu and Jing Jieyu's place, how much benefit can Jing Jieyu give you? I'm afraid that under the guise of sympathizing with the sisters, she will ask her to do things for her. She can just sit back and enjoy the results!"

Lu Jieyu's face changed slightly when she heard this, and she said softly: "Don't talk nonsense, I didn't mean that, I just..."

"Sister, please listen to what my sister has to say!" Li Jieyu waved her hand and insisted, "In terms of order of service, support, and reputation, Tian Jieyu is superior to Jing Jieyu in every aspect! But sister should know that Tian Jieyu has a peaceful nature, and she says she interacts with Jing Jieyu like sisters. In fact, among the two of them, as well as the concubines under their command, among the many people, it is Jing Jieyu who really makes the decision. Her method was able to coax many people to accompany her to seek life and death. Sister, please tell me, now she can coax a person who, although not high-born, has a good family background, has been pampered by his father and mother since he was a child, and grew up without any setbacks. Is it difficult to have Tian Jieyu who is escorted by the imperial concubine in the palace? My sister is here now, can she be her rival? "

"Your Majesty is not a person who likes the new and hates the old."

"Although most of these days are devoted to us newlyweds, we also spend a lot of time to visit the imperial concubine, discuss matters with the empress, and go to other palaces for the elderly."

"In this case, do you think that even if Jing Jieyu and Tian Jieyu accept you, how much benefit will they get from you? And you still have to be controlled by Jing Jieyu in everything!"

"If you join forces with your sister, she won't dare to treat you like this!"

"Let's seek His Majesty's favor by ourselves, and let Concubine De show her sister's abilities, okay?"

"..." Lu Jieyu was silent for a long time, and finally said that what she said was very reasonable and she could not refute it. "If you can guarantee that the imperial concubine will not blame the imperial concubine and make me angry for this, then I will join you!"

Li Jieyu smiled and said: "If sister doesn't believe it, you might as well talk to her first... If the imperial concubine is indifferent, it shows that what my sister said is true! If there is punishment on the imperial concubine's side, elder sister can push it away. Five, let’s just say that my sister took the initiative to get close to you, and you just pretended to be false in order to find out what her sister’s plot was, how about you?”

Lu Jieyu thinks this method is very good and perfectly avoids her own risks.

After all, Concubine De has been with the concubine for so many years, so she probably won't be able to protect herself just because she has been with Li Jieyu a few times.

On Yun Fenghuang's side, when he received the news about Lu Jieyu and Li Jieyu's interactions, he also learned about Li Jieyu's bewitchment of Lu Jieyu. He couldn't help but burst into laughter, and finally told them: "Let them go as they please. The newcomers are young and fighting each other, so the palace is more lively."

Otherwise, Li Jieyu alone would not be able to tear Jing Jieyu and Tian Jieyu apart. The queen would be dissatisfied, and the emperor would probably become suspicious.

Now, the four Jieyu are two against two. Even if they win or lose, there will be no crushing situation, so all parties can be barely satisfied.
