Treacherous Living in the Imperial Harem

Chapter 16 The Emperor: I Actually Picked Two Blind Men for Me!

Not long after, the former palace servants came back and told Yun Fenghuang that the newcomers were waiting outside.

"The sun is so big today, let's call everyone in." Hearing this, Yun Fenghuang sipped his tea and ordered with a smile.

Soon, a group of concubines in colorful clothes filed in.

The first one was Yi Xing'en, who had been famous in the Six Palaces in the past two days. Although the girl behind her was a little pale in front of Peerless Fanghua, she was also charming and cute. It was the Qu Hongzhuan that Wei Hengyan said.

Although the next ten or so beauties are rare beauties in the eyes of ordinary people, they are not as good as Yiqu after all.

All the girls had obviously learned the etiquette of meeting the Lord. After entering the hall, they lowered their gazes and walked to the lower corner of the palace in a respectful and docile manner. Majesty Jieyu is blessed and safe, and her youth stays forever!"

"Everyone get up." Yun Fenghuang looked at Yi Xingen and Qu Hongzhuan with admiring eyes, not to mention the temperament of these two, just their faces and figures are pleasing to the eye.

As a result, the host, who was not in a bad mood at first, said in a gentle tone, "Come on, let's sit down."

It is also called Liuhong, "Go and get honey sand ice to relieve the summer heat for all the girls."

"Yicai girl, Qu Cai girl." Seeing her speaking slowly, Wei Hengyan couldn't hold back, and asked straightforwardly, "I heard that the noble concubine Shu concubine intends to let you be palace servants. How did you come to Xuanqing Palace?"

She was quite sour when she asked this question, because she felt that Empress Ji must be partial to Yun Fenghuang-although this is something that Liugong knows, and Yunfenghuang also paid the price, but watching Sangong and Liuyuan fight For such a good deed, Yun Fenghuang would sit back and enjoy the success without doing anything, and it is inevitable to be envious in the end.

Not only her, but even the silent Yun Qingman thought so.

Who knew that Yi Xingen and Qu Hongzhuan hesitated for a while after hearing the words, but said in unison: "Reporting to this empress, it was the concubine who asked the empress to arrange the concubine to come to Xuanqing Palace!"

These words even surprised Yun Fenghuang himself, and Wei Hengyan was even more unwilling: "Why did you come to Xuanqing Palace?"

Could it be that these picking girls knew that Yun Fenghuang had a hard time giving birth, so even if they gave birth to a royal heir in the future, they would be treated kindly by Yun Fenghuang to be raised? But you fools! Just thinking about Yun Fenghuang's inability to have children by herself, and only treating the children born by others as her own, she wondered if she would leave the mother and keep the child?

Speaking of which, these girls have entered the palace until now, and they only saw the emperor in a hurry when they were selected. Although Wei Hengyan admitted that Emperor Chunjia was indeed magnificent in appearance and appearance, and had the capital to make ignorant girls fall in love at first sight—even when he was still a puppet ——But love at first sight does not mean that the love for the emperor is a mess, and you are willing to give up yourself in order to continue his heirs, right? !

If Yi Xingen or any of Qu Hongzhuan did this, Wei Hengyan would still be entitled to meet a Huaichun girl who didn't have a brain.

But both of them did this... Could it be that both of them used the wisdom of Sansei III to exchange their beauty for the rest of their lives?

Just when he was full of doubts, he heard an answer that was even more inconceivable than Yi Xingen Qu Hongzhuan fell in love with Emperor Chunjia at first sight, and then became obsessed with the emperor, madly for the emperor, and slammed into the wall for the emperor: "Because... because of Empress Jieyu. Kind-hearted and amiable, the concubines took a quick glance at Xiuzhuo Palace that day, and thought that Lady Jieyu..."

Halfway through Yi Xingen's answer, she seemed to feel that she had said the wrong thing, and she immediately showed a little timidity, stammered her words, and rubbed the corner of her clothes nervously, "My concubine... I am not saying that you are not good, my mother, but... ...It's just that the concubines are new to the palace and are not familiar with the ladies. They only know that Mao Jieyu is kind, tolerant, beautiful and virtuous..."

The newly recruited girls are still racking their brains to think of words, trying their best to explain why they chose Xuanqing Palace without offending Wei Hengyan, Wei Hengyan, Yun Qingman... including the palaces served by Huanhua Palace Everyone has silently looked at Yun Fenghuang.

The expression is exactly the same, indescribable.

After a while, Wei Hengyan asked with a heavy heart: "Who told you sister Mao... um... Who told you about sister Mao's virtues?"

How ignorant of conscience is it to put the word virtuous on Yun Fenghuang's head? !

Are you not afraid of lightning strikes from the sky?

Before, she thought that these two coming to Xuanqing Palace was probably due to the empress's efforts, but now she thinks it is impossible, because Empress Ji should not be so shameless. Even if the queen wanted to arrange people over, she wouldn't make such a reason.

"...Some of the first group of companions who came in for an audience that day fell to the ground." Yi Xingen replied timidly, "Mao Jieyu once sent a palace lady to help her up."

But the other concubines remained indifferent after the emperor pardoned them.

"That's it?" Wei Hengyan was dumbfounded.

Yi Xingen and Qu Hongzhuan nodded together, and carefully explained that they absolutely did not think the other concubines were bad because of this, after all, Cai Nu was in the first place, and it was a blessing that the nobles did not pursue it, but they just remembered it because of this. Living in Mao Jieyu... Well, they firmly believe that all the masters in the harem are beautiful and kind-hearted good ladies!

...But Wei Hengyan was not comforted at all.

"Do you think these women from poor families are a little bit out of their minds?" After returning to Yijia Palace, after seeing the people in the palace, she still couldn't calm down, and asked her confidant maid, "Such a small favor is actually kept in my heart." Not to mention, because of this, they actually think that Xiao Yun is a kind-hearted person... How did they survive until now? Don't they all say that troublesome people come from poor mountains and rivers, and that they know etiquette only when they are honest?"

At this moment, the upper class's understanding of the lower class is not that "poor people are the most honest and kind", and the rhetoric of "poor life and wealth grows conscience" is the mainstream.

Noble girls such as Queen Wei Hengyan and Ji, of course despise the poor and good families, but it is definitely not that they think that these people are innocent and harmless, they are all stupid and sweet, but that these people are too low-born and narrow-minded to talk about it They have no rules since they were young, and they don't know etiquette, righteousness, integrity and shame, so their conduct is worrying... In short, they are not worthy of being with them.

At first glance, seeing Yishi, Qushi, etc. who seemed to be given a steamed bun and followed, not to mention that Wei Hengyan couldn't figure it out, Yun Fenghuang himself was suspicious, and didn't quite believe that his fate was so ill-fated. Waiting for the harvest - she asked Xi Le Liu Hong to help Cai Nu, but it was just a matter of saying something casually.

Furthermore, the emperor expressed tolerance at that time, even if she didn't do so, Empress Ji would still speak.

Then, as the queen's pawn, it's not natural to take the lead in solving the small episode so that the selection can go smoothly?

Anyway, she never expected such a "return" for a single order that day.

The key is to take a step back, even if these two are really easy to coax and easily moved...

Concubine Shu, Concubine Xin and others who want to rob people, how can they not give them a good lesson and popularize her great achievements since Mao Jieyu entered the palace?

In short, Yun Fenghuang finished chatting with the newcomers with a smile and amiability, gave them a meeting gift one by one, and ordered the palace guards to lead them to their respective places to rest, and then called Xi Le to come to him, let her keep an eye on it, and inquire about it by the way Let me know the details of these people: "I finally became a concubine, but I don't want to be dragged down because of negligence. When the time comes, you people may have a hard time."

Xi Le nodded her head and promised: "The servant girl will definitely let the people below take care of me!"

Emperor Chunjia came to Xuanqing Palace when the lanterns were lit that night, and first went to Huanhua Palace. Seeing him, Yun Fenghuang complained coquettishly: "Your Majesty is going to welcome a newcomer today? Why do you want to have a concubine?" here?"

Emperor Chunjia said: "Wherever I go, I have never seen anyone despise me as much as you do."

"Where does this concubine despise you?" Yun Fenghuang refused to admit it, "Isn't this concubine happy to see you, but just thinking of you but not here to find concubine, is it uncomfortable?"

As she said this, she was eating a bowl of Qingfeng rice that had just been hung from the well, and she relished it, which whetted the appetite of everyone who watched it. Shaking his head: "It's full of lies, it's hard for you to tell the truth every time."

Taking advantage of the situation, let Xi Le say, "Here's a bowl too, I'll have a taste."

Breeze rice is prepared with crystal rice, dragon eye powder, borneol powder, and buttermilk, and then put it into a golden jar, and it is served after falling into a well or ice pond. Note], has always been loved by women and children.

But for Emperor Chunjia, eating a few spoonfuls was nothing, so he pushed aside, took the handkerchief from Liu Hong, wiped the corners of his mouth, and said with a smile: "Today, a newcomer is divided, Is your Xuanqing Palace going to be lively?"

He deliberately emphasized the word "lively", obviously implying that Yun Fenghuang won the Yi family and Qu family, and he was afraid that there would be no peace in the future, and he was not without gloating.

However, Yun Fenghuang said lightly: "It's good to be lively! Didn't the empress dowager tell the empress dowager before that there are too few concubines in the palace these years, and there are not many heirs, so it's so deserted! It's just going to be lively, You are so popular! Your Majesty just came in, do you feel that this concubine is much more cordial in this Xuanqing Palace?"

Emperor Chunjia couldn't help persuading her: "The key is to be kind to your master."

"If the concubine is not kind, why would Yicai's daughter, Qucai's daughter, and the others come to Xuanqing Palace?" When he mentioned this, it was almost in Yunfenghuang's heart, and he threw down the little Qingfeng rice that was left , while wiping the corners of his mouth, he showed off enthusiastically, "It is precisely because I feel that I am kind, tolerant, beautiful and virtuous, so I begged the empress to come to my concubine at the invitation of all the empresses?"

The emperor hadn't received the news yet, he was stunned when he heard the words, and immediately sneered: "I'm not lucky enough to share it, so I won't offend you for the lies you made up, thank you for believing them to be true!"

"Your Majesty, I don't believe the concubine's words!" Yun Fenghuang rolled his eyes at him and snorted, "You don't think that even if the empress favors the concubine, she can refute the face of the concubine Shu for the concubine, and even The imperial concubine and Yue Jieyu don't give face? These two are pregnant! It can be seen that this is the sincerity of the two bridesmaids, and the empress cannot bear to betray her."

"..." The emperor was quite speechless. He turned his head and asked around. Seeing that Xi Le and others had proved that Yun Fenghuang's words were true, he was silent for a moment, and then said with emotion, "Forget it, I will be placed in Huanhua Hall today." .”

Seeing that Yun Fenghuang was puzzled, he said slowly, "I remember that there are no disabilities and no hidden diseases in the first few requirements of the selection... How do flower and bird envoys do things? They actually picked two blind men in! How can you serve them?" I? Forget it, I’m here, I’ll just stay here for one night at Jieyu’s place, and tomorrow I’ll call Yanyin to deal with those slaves who bully you!”

Yun Fenghuang: "........."
