Chapter Nine Tempting Each Other

The next day, I greeted you, and after leaving Mianfu Palace, Yun Fenghuang came to the side of the phoenix chariot, and whispered: "My lady, I have something to report."

At this time, the heat is already very hot. Although there is an ice basin in the phoenix chariot, walking down the long steps from the entrance of Mianfu Palace is enough for the pampered Zhonggong to feel overwhelmed, so he said: "Go to the palace. Say it there."

After a while, Yun Fenghuang's shoulders followed the phoenix chariot and landed in front of the Chongchang Hall. The concubine and concubine walked in one after the other. The palace people had already prepared it, and they handed cold handkerchiefs and Duan Leng Yuanzi. After serving, I feel refreshed.

Yun Fenghuang couldn't help but said: "The people here are still smart, the concubine's side is just here, and when I go back in such a hot day, I'm slow to talk about the handkerchief, everyone is in a hurry, and I don't even know what to do."

"So you came to Bengong to cool off?" Empress Ji joked with a smile, "I've been following me for a long time, just for such a little thing, and people said that Bengong treated Tangtang Jieyu badly."

"Isn't the empress pampering the concubine?" Yun Fenghuang said after hearing the words, "Otherwise, how could the concubine be so bold?"

After joking a few words, she said seriously, "My lady, I think that Yue Jieyu's blessings are not profound enough after all."

Empress Ji raised her eyebrows in surprise: "Oh?"

"How can this lowly maidservant, He De, conceive an imperial heir?" Yun Fenghuang snorted, with disdain for Yuan Niangniang at the corners of his eyes and brows, "Otherwise, it was a good job before, so why did the miscarriage happen? Besides, Your Majesty is now in charge, If he wins a man in one fell swoop, how can the momentum in the court and the public not be improved? Therefore, the Huzhu Palace should not continue to be peaceful!"

Empress Ji took a sip of the sugar ice and snow Leng Yuanzi, and said with a pleasant face, "You are extremely loyal to tell me this. It's just... I don't want to hide it from you. Your Majesty seemed gentle and harmless in the past eight years." He has nothing to do with the world, but looking at it now, his thoughts are deep and he is holding back! How can he be unprepared if he doesn't say anything about Yue Jieyu's pregnancy? I have always been jealous of him, so I don't like to act."

"As for entrusting others, Mu Zi... well, I don't even want to mention her, she's just a fool, I can't even tell the difference between my own people and outsiders! I've hurt you forever!"

Euphemistically apologizing for Ji Muzi, he replied, "I have thought about this matter, and only you are the most suitable. But..."

The queen sighed, and said in a low voice, "You have to think about it! Although it is said that the Sangong and Six Courtyards are all His Majesty's people, everyone knows that Yuan's lowly maid is his heart!"

"Your Majesty, it is precisely because of this that she cannot be allowed to give birth to an imperial heir!" Yun Fenghuang's face was firm, but his heart sank, "Otherwise, it's fine if it's a princess. If it's a prince, in this palace, in the future Who can still stand?"

Although she was not free when she was under house arrest in Xiaoyingzhou, she was treated well.

At that time, he only said that it was the result of hugging the queen's thigh, and also said that even though the queen's city is deep, she still has some trust and protection in herself.

But after coming out, I knew the ins and outs of the matter, especially Mrs. Ye Guogong, the empress's grandmother died tragically in front of the empress dowager. ...After such a disastrous defeat, the queen did not have any doubts about herself, the most direct and powerful witness of Emperor Chunjia's innocence, and even confided her heart more than before...

This is called Yunfenghuang, why is it not creepy?

After much deliberation, she decided to use Yuan Niangniang as a tester—didn't the empress keep saying that when she asked Yun Fenghuang to test the emperor, don't be too explicit, after all, she doesn't have many people available?

But compared to the coquettish and coquettish temptress who is not bad, and is far from being able to act recklessly, murdering a pregnant concubine, especially the emperor's green plum, Yuan Lianniang, is not only more dangerous, but also faces the danger of killing a concubine once it is done. With the emperor and the Queen Mother Yuan, there will be no room for change!

If the queen really didn't doubt her, then even if she didn't want to keep Yuan Niangniang's pregnancy, she wouldn't let Yun Fenghuang take the responsibility.

After all, as the lord of the six palaces with deep roots, the empress has plenty of ways to deal with the unintelligent Yue Jieyu, and there are so many people in the palace who hate Yuan Niangniang, the empress does not necessarily need to do it herself.

Why let the trusted confidant take risks?

But now Empress Ji has not only agreed, but the implication is that this matter will be left to Yun Fenghuang...

Yun Fenghuang's thoughts turned, but his face remained calm, instead showing firmness: "Furthermore, Yue Jieyu used to be a concubine, although she is now at the same level as a concubine, but with her dignity in front of His Majesty, Once the emperor's heir is born, let's talk about returning to the concubine position, I'm afraid His Majesty would like to send her to be promoted to the fourth concubine! At that time, even if the empress is willing to protect the concubine, the concubine cannot hide under the empress's wings all the time let's go?"

Empress Ji mused, she had discussed with the subordinates before using Yuan Lianniang's pregnancy to test Yun Fenghuang, but now that Yun Fenghuang proposed it, she was a little hesitant, this Mao Jieyu has always been cunning, the key is that she has no integrity Speaking of the master, he was not soft-hearted at all, and the swearing he said now hit his chest, which made the queen a little suspicious.

"What are you going to do?" The Queen thought for a while, and finally did not express her opinion directly, but asked, "Although you are at the same level as Yue Jieyu now, since you have moved out of the Huzhu Palace, it will be difficult for you to go back, and it is too difficult." Too conspicuous."

Yun Fenghuang smiled and said: "Your Majesty, just because I have already moved out of the Huzhu Palace, what happened there has nothing to do with my concubine or your empress!"

Seeing Empress Ji frowning slightly, she blinked, "When I was in Huzhu Palace, I often went to Ningbi Palace!"

"Did you put people in the Ningbi Palace?" The queen said unexpectedly, "It's just that Yuan Shi had a miscarriage earlier, but this time the surroundings are very well guarded, and almost all the servants are from the Spring Palace. Mother Yuan's ability to train people, It's not something Yuan can compare to."

Yun Fenghuang said sweetly: "Concubine Rong, let me show you off first, and after the matter is completed, I will come to ask you for rewards, okay?"

"..." The queen took a deep look at her and nodded, "Then, I am waiting for your good news!"

After the people left, Empress Ji's face darkened, and she snorted, "It has nothing to do with me? This Xiaoyun family is really spoiled by me, and she dares to threaten me gently!"

The confidant palace maid persuaded her to calm down: "The left and right are just Jieyu, the empress doesn't like it, so I will order the servants to take care of it."

"No." Empress Ji sighed and shook her head, "It would be a pity to let her die right now, let's keep it and send someone to keep an eye on Ningbi Hall. At this time, Bengong just turned a blind eye. Ruoguo...it won't be too late to make a move at that time!"

And the two masters and servants who left Yanfu Palace were also discussing in a low voice: "Your Majesty, even if you are not in the Huzhu Palace now, the emperor's heir has a very important relationship. When the time comes to investigate thoroughly, I'm afraid...I'm afraid I can't hide it." ? Anyway, you are already the lord of the first palace, so why bother with Yue Jieyu?"

"Do you really believe that the palace has any arrangements in the Ningbi Palace?" Yun Fenghuang rolled his eyes at Xi Le, and sneered, "Your Imperial City Secretary may not be sure about this matter. Where did the palace come from this ability? It's just a talk!"

"Ah?" Xi Le was taken aback, and immediately puzzled, "But how do you deal with the empress?"

Yun Fenghuang smiled: "Didn't the Empress promise me to tell her after I'm done?"

Xi Le stammered, "But...but this... this can only delay for a while?"

"So take this opportunity to find something for the empress to do!" Yun Fenghuang sighed, suddenly turned around on his shoulders, glanced sideways at the already faint Yanfu Palace behind him, and said softly with the corners of his lips slightly curved , "There are so many people in the harem, don't keep staring at me, right?"

She went back to Xuanqing Palace for lunch, and after taking a nap, she ordered Liu Hong to go to Tongxia Palace to invite Yun Qingman to come and talk.

"Don't go!" It happened that Yun Qingman was in front of Concubine Shu, and when she heard the report from the palace man, she subconsciously wanted to say goodbye to Concubine Shu, but she was stopped by Concubine Shu when she just said the words, "These days, I've been telling you what to do with your ears. Have you forgotten?! This lowly servant girl can even kill her, let alone you? From now on, I will keep you far away from her!"

Yun Qingman was puzzled: "But..."

"What's wrong?!" Concubine Shu said impatiently, "Did you take what I told you to heart?! Do you think this lowly maid is lucky to be a concubine this time! She just pinched her Now that the opportunity is right, I will step on you to take the position! After all, the Yun family has already given birth to the Concubine Shu in the palace, and now there is a concubine named Mao Jieyu. Do you think that the front court and the harem will allow our family to have a family with three concubines? !"

"Especially now that the Ji family is the master of the harem!"

"But that medicine was made by Ji Zhaoyuan, ah, it was made by concubine Ji's subordinates." Yun Qingman said in a low voice, "Fenghuang's family background is not good, so what's the benefit of giving herself medicine to avoid children? Dad was willing to arrange for her to enter the palace. I also think that her offspring may be very rich, can she give birth to sister?"

Concubine Shu sneered, gave her a hard look, and said in a cold voice: "Do you believe this kind of words that are used to prevaricate ignorant people?! In Ji Zhaoyuan's matter, His Majesty and Bengong joined forces to detain the crime to death." She is on the head! But just because of this matter, you Dao Ji are willing to let Yun Fenghuang become a concubine? You don't even look at this palace, who can call himself 'this palace', who doesn't have a prince or general to back him? Those who don't have no choice but to stay in the side hall obediently, no matter how smart, considerate, and overwhelmed the country!"

"Why make an exception for her?!"

"I tell you, it's all because of you!"

Yun Qing was at a loss: "Because of me?"

"Before you entered the palace, you decided to be a concubine by default. With our father's status, the Ji family can't stop it even if it's not reconciled." Feng Huang took refuge with the queen, and Ji Muzi, an idiot, was set up by her, and she took the opportunity of the summer banquet to make a big fuss... In this way, Ji seemed to have knocked out his teeth and swallowed, and was still aggrieved. Take out a concubine to appease her, in fact, this is something the Ji family can't wait for!"

Because Yun Fenghuang is the daughter of the Yun family recognized by Duke Yi, after she became a concubine, Duke Yi's biological concubine wanted to be a concubine, and the Ji family had a reason to stop: Yun's one family and two concubines are enough to show the royal grace Hao Dang, wanting to have another concubine, isn't that too ambitious? !

What kind of family background did their Ji family come from, and now the Ji family in the palace are only two sisters!

The key is that Yun Fenghuang is known as the daughter of the Yun family, and the concubine's grace is all counted as a favor to the Yun family, but in fact she has only enmity with the Yun family, and she is quite flattering to the queen. This is equivalent to Ji's using Yun's favor to cultivate his own help, why would Ji's not do it?

"I made an agreement with His Majesty before, and when the limelight of this incident passes, we will clean up Yunfenghuang." Concubine Shu glanced at her dazed younger sister, and said softly, "I will find you a concubine at that time... So don't be confused now, that Yun Fenghuang is cunning and vicious, he has ignored us for a long time since he came back from Yingzhou, and now he suddenly invites you over, what good can it be?!"

Then I remembered something, "By the way, the Miaocai you married into the palace also happened when she was with her palace lady. How can it be such a coincidence? It is likely that she instigated it! She will not spare even the people around you, Let alone you?"

Without waiting for Yun Qingman to speak again, she asked the palace servants to dismiss Liu Hong, "Just find any reason, if Mao Jieyu really misses Qingman so much, she probably doesn't care about coming to Tongxia Palace in person!"
