In fact, this is something that has long been expected.
The newly promoted Jieyu is young enough to be admitted to the palace. Regardless of her background, family background, temperament, appearance, or body and bones, she was selected through repeated selection.
In addition, Chunjia is also in his prime, these people will be happy sooner or later.
It was only possible that he was moved by the emperor's reluctance. After all, Yun Fenghuang was confused for a while, then he calmed down and asked his left and right to prepare something for the reward.
After thinking about it, he asked someone to send some nourishing food to Xie Runan: "Let her take good care of herself. It would be great if there is good news. No matter how much I love her, it would be better to have a child under my knees." appropriate."
As for Xie Runan feeling extremely stressed by doing this, Yun Fenghuang didn't bother to care.
If you don't have any ability at all, why should you enter the palace or hold the chief position
Li Jieyu must have done a lot of homework during pregnancy. She was originally jumping up and down so much that she was a role model among pioneers, but since the good news was confirmed, she has been reclusive and has not shown up at all.
As the queen's confidant, Gu Zhen naturally made it easier for her and announced to the public that Li Jieyu needed to have her baby preserved, without having to pay her a visit.
In this way, Lu Jieyu was suddenly at a disadvantage.
In the past, it was Li Jieyu who went to find Lu Jieyu and teased her about this and that.
At this time, Lu Jieyu frequently visited Li Jieyu and complained about this and that.
As for allies Xie Runan and Jiang Mingdan, although they often targeted Lu Jieyu, they both felt a little worried.
After all, having a child is so important in this palace.
Especially concubines like them who come from humble backgrounds, those with children and those without children are completely two different people.
If you have a child, regardless of gender, as long as he is healthy and doesn't have many ambitions, really, you don't have to fight for favor. As long as you live a peaceful life, don't be in the limelight and don't act like a monster... If there are no big surprises, basically the prosperity and wealth in this life will be stable. .
But if you don’t have kids…
Unless you are willing to live a life of silence, it is impossible not to fight.
Xie Runan didn't know where he heard the news, so he went to the Huanhua Palace to ask Yun Fenghuang about the fertility medicine circulated in the palace on the pretext of saying hello.
"The usefulness of those things varies from person to person. Most of the concubines under me have used them, but you see, only a few of them have children in the end?" General Yun Fenghuang had previously obtained it from Ji Muzi. He gave her a copy of the prescription that came, and sighed, "Don't expect too much... Anyway, His Majesty is not in the palace now, so you can take good care of her. When Your Majesty comes back, serve her attentively, and there will always be news." "
Xie Runan's face turned red. After he thanked her carefully, he saw that Yun Fenghuang had no other instructions. He hesitated and said, "My dear, I'm not up to par. But over there, there is a girl from the side hall, oh, it's Xie Baolin." , there seems to be some movement recently. I wonder if there is any news? But she did not report it, and I am too embarrassed to say anything more. "
After all, she is different from Jiang Mingdan. Even if Jiang Mingdan incites public anger and makes things worse, in the final analysis, he relies on his own ability.
Therefore, after controlling the first house, if you see that the subordinates are not on the same page as you, and directly train them hard, there is no problem.
But Xie Runan rose to prominence among Yun Fenghuang's relatives because of his long-sleeved skills and thoughtfulness.
Previously, Jiang Ruigu requested to stay in Xuanqing Palace and received the concubine's permission, which somewhat shook Xie Runan's status and authority.
After all, Yun Fenghuang's connivance towards Jiang Ruigu can hardly be interpreted as indicating that this imperial concubine still values her blood relatives, especially close relatives.
Xie Runan, who was of a lower generation and relied on a concubine to bring him to the throne, could not imitate Jiang Mingdan and forcibly suppress the people in the palace
"Then just let her go." Yun Fenghuang didn't care when he heard this, and said casually, "You know how many emperors there are in the palace now. I want to tell you something personal: Now you all, go It doesn't matter if new people come in later. Whether to have children or not, actually, it doesn't mean much to His Majesty or to people like me. After all, from His Majesty to other high-ranking officials, who is missing a son and a half? You are happy, the one who benefits the most is actually you."
"You have actually caught up with the good times. Now that no one else is here, I will tell you something straightforward."
"When I first entered the palace, it had been eight years since Your Majesty's wedding. There were so many people in the Three Palaces and Sixth Courtyard, but I had never seen the concubines getting pregnant, but never the birth of the emperor's heir. It had been a year and a half since I entered the palace. There are also endless surprises about the emperor’s heir during the palace confinement!”
"Anyone who could give birth to an heir at that time was no small matter."
"Now you are much more relaxed. After all, the emperor has so many heirs. It doesn't matter if I have a few more of you or a few more of you..."
"That's what the empress said." Xie Runan lowered his eyebrows and said, "I have written it down."
After she left, Yun Fenghuang sighed softly and said to his left and right: "If you are a man, you are still a little softer. When she mentioned Xie Baolin, she was not telling me that there might be good news in a few days, but it was a tactful test." I am willing to help her beat the people in the palace. But she didn’t think carefully about it. If I can help her for a while, is it possible that I can help her for the rest of my life? "
"Now use my hand to suppress it. I am the one who is convinced, not her!"
"Although I am a daughter of her clan, I have told her directly that my bloodline is estranged. I'm afraid she won't be happy with her. When you have time, please explain it to her."
The imperial concubine shook her head in disappointment. Although she knew early on that it was normal for the Xie family to have no particularly outstanding talents in the past few years, she still felt a tightness in her chest when she thought of Li Jieyu.
This year's New Year's Day was also extremely unpredictable. On the sixth day of the first lunar month, there was another piece of bad news in the palace. The eldest Xu family gave birth to twins, but she didn't survive it and struggled to swallow it in the evening Last breath.
Concubine Mu was very sad about this. She once beat her chest and feet in pain and was in pain...
But Liu Gong’s comments were that she still felt guilty and had over-acted.
It’s not like there is no chief in this palace who has a good relationship with the people in the palace, but even if they are sisters, there are very few like this, right
At the beginning, the queen and Concubine Zhenxi were also very close.
After Concubine Zhenxi Shu passed away, why wasn't Gu Zhen sad
However, I didn't say such praise, it was just a few words of regret to my close friends in private, and I secretly wiped away my tears.
This is already an extremely honest performance by Gu Zhen.
Unlike Concubine Mu, Jing Jieyu was sharp-tongued and commented privately: "For those who don't know, I thought that Mrs. Xu was her long-lost mother. Apart from her mother, there is no one else who can make Tangtang Yi. It is beneath the status of the palace lord to be like this."
When Yun Fenghuang heard this, he couldn't help but laugh out loud: "This Jing Jieyu is interesting."
"Isn't that true? Now that the Sixth Palace has heard about it, they all feel that Concubine Mu is not smart after all." Chie said with a smile, "Even if you have to pretend, at least pretend to be more like her. Now everyone knows that she is here to make the Eighth Princess After growing up with the Sixteenth Prince, I no longer hold grudges against her. She did it on purpose... How can she keep the situation stable? I don’t know what to do in the future."
Then he said, "Many people say that if little Xu doesn't run away quickly, she may become the next big Xu."
Previously, after the sealing of the palace, the eldest Xu family and others were officially admitted into the palace. The eldest Xu family asked Concubine Mu to leave, but the younger Xu family, along with Erwen and others, were asked to leave by Concubine An. They were unable to eat in Huzhu Palace. Less pain.
In the end, Yun Fenghuang, out of some considerations, sent Zhao Qing to cause a scene to rescue the people.
At that time, the eldest Mrs. Xu felt sorry for her sister, so she specially asked Concubine Mu to take the little Mrs. Xu with her to keep her company.
Now everyone feels that since Concubine Mu has left the eldest Xu family without her mother and son, there is absolutely no possibility of leaving the little Xu family behind.
Then Xiao Xu may also think so...
Because that night, she ran out barefoot, knelt on the snow in front of Yanfu Palace, cried out about her sister's misery and unexplained death, and begged the queen to be merciful and give them justice!
Queen: "...!!!"
To be honest, Gu Zhen disliked Concubine Mu very much.
It's just that she can't write two characters "Gu" in one stroke. No matter how much she doesn't like Concubine Mu, she can't allow Concubine Mu to fall into bad charges.
What is affected in this way is the reputation of the entire Gu family's daughter, and even affects the overall interests of the Gu family.
Therefore, after receiving the news, all he could think of was how to save Concubine Mu.
But of course Yun Fenghuang would not let her pass so easily. After learning the news, he immediately sent people from the Qing Dynasty to the scene, saying that his imperial concubine also had the power to co-manage the Sixth Palace. The imperial concubine also wanted to witness such a bad thing!
The queen knew that she had bad intentions, but she couldn't find a suitable reason to refuse, so she had no choice but to deal with it.
The younger Xu family may have been hinted by the Qing Dynasty. It is impossible for the queen to embarrass her cousin for their twin sisters who came from a humble background. Let alone the queen, even Chunjia used to like the older Xu family, but it is impossible for her to do so. For her sake, I would wrong a concubine with a good family background.
Even though he knew that this concubine was ruthless...
However, the emperor will not care.
When Gu Zhen planned to question her in public, pretending to be fair, Xiao Xu told her the whole story in one breath: He described Concubine Mu as a heinous person, her sisters as weak, pitiful and helpless... and ended up hitting her head first to death. Your Majesty!
The Queen said again: "...!!!"
Well, now that there is no evidence, Hegong's emotions have been aroused. At least most people are emotionally willing to believe that Concubine Mu has left the mother and son of the Xu family without any evidence.
What made the Queen almost want to vomit blood was that it was still the first month of the year, and she had such a bad luck... This...
Gu Zhen was very upset and had no place to be lazy, so he tried every means to find a steward to top up the tank, and settled the matter hastily.
In the end, Concubine Mu was not satisfied. She firmly believed that she and Da Xu were sisters, and she did not want Da Xu to let go. As for why the little Xu family did what she did, Concubine Mu meant that the little Xu family, relying on her relationship with the older Xu family, always made some overstepping demands that were not in line with her status.
So after being taught a lesson by her several times and holding a grudge, she framed him.
She hinted to the queen that the truth should be determined like this.
Gu Zhen said again: "... ... ... ... ...!!!"
The queen didn't want to see this troubled cousin at all, so she ordered the audience to leave. Without waiting for the people below to speak, she got up and went to the back.
In short, this first month is absolutely terrible for the Queen!
And the bad news wasn't over yet.
At the end of the first month, news came from the palace.
Empress Dowager Yuan has not recovered yet, but she is no longer in fear of her life.
