Chapter 28: Stirring the Water
Empress Ji was not surprised by Yun Fenghuang's actions, so she asked her to sit in the side hall, changed into her regular clothes after she went, and then came out shaking the round fan and asked, "What's the matter?"
"Your Majesty, you have to make the decision for getting up!" Yun Fenghuang looked aggrieved, walked over holding the handkerchief, and helped the queen sit on the Phoenix chair, and said, "The matter of the mustard juice yesterday. The imperial concubine must have done it! This concubine has never offended Yanlan Palace! She targeted this concubine so much, she simply didn’t take you seriously!"
"Don't get too cheap with Ben Gong and act like a good boy." The queen ignored the childish provocation, and said calmly, "As for the beauty of Yi Shi and Qu Shi, why do you still want to talk about such a small disturbance? Then next time there will be a similar one." Good thing, I won't miss you anymore!"
Yun Fenghuang hastily acted coquettishly: "Your Majesty, this concubine is just joking with you... You don't want to think about this concubine, what will I do afterward?"
Empress Ji chuckled: "Hasn't Your Majesty been with you often recently?"
"Your Majesty hasn't been to the Huzhu Palace recently. Your Majesty, do you think he can stop thinking about it?" Yun Fenghuang said disapprovingly, "Didn't he just pretend to show Liugong on purpose... And you think, Madam, three There are many people in the Sixth Courtyard of the Palace, and now there are another group of pickers. Even if Your Majesty doesn’t want to attract too much attention to the Huzhu Palace, who is it not good to go to, and have to go to the concubine’s place? Is it because the concubine’s body is difficult to have children? In the final analysis, the one from Ningbi Hall is his heart!"
The queen looked at her, and saw that she didn't seem to have any affection for the emperor, so she was relieved—in fact, Xijing secretly reported that Yun Fenghuang suspected that he was thinking about the emperor in the morning, and the queen didn't really believe it. She felt that her eyesight was still accurate, as Yun Fenghuang was a person, her status was not guaranteed, so how could she care about romantic affairs?
Besides, it's not that Empress Ji didn't know that Yun Fenghuang's childhood sweetheart fiancé also came to Dijing after marriage. Although she didn't know that the two met privately more than once, she also sent someone to inquire about Qi Jiulu's situation. The kind who is talented, looks good, and has a deep love for Yun Fenghuang, who will never forget even under the pressure of the clan.
Compared with Emperor Chunjia, he was probably a bit inferior in status.
But the emperor's true love is Yuan Niangniang, and the height is extremely cold. The emperor is in the ninety-five supreme position today, but he doesn't know where he will go tomorrow...Anyway, Empress Ji doesn't think that Yun Fenghuang has only entered the palace for a few days, so she will be able to do it because of her love. The emperor went to bed a few times to give birth to some real feelings.
It's really so touching, and it's not as easy as selling Yi Guogong's mansion.
After all, she and Yun Qingman have been good sisters for three years, haven't they?
Then last night, he cared so much about the relationship between the emperor and Yi Xingen, probably because he had some other motives, or was it simply because he wanted to be strong?
Empress Ji was thoughtful, and was about to ask Yun Fenghuang why she broke up with Yun Qingman... Although Yunfenghuang helped Yun Qingman a lot yesterday, the queen couldn't tell that she didn't really care about Yun Qingman end?
As a result, Yun Fenghuang said at this time: "Your Majesty, the imperial concubine is not a brainless concubine like Yue Jieyu. She has a noble status and is pregnant. Even if she fails to succeed in trying to get Yishi Qushi, will her status be shaken?" The most important thing for her now is to give birth to a healthy baby and give birth to a healthy heir... Otherwise, how could she never leave the Yanlan Palace after the empress dowager and the empress have allowed her not to ask for peace?"
Empress Ji frowned suddenly.
I heard Yun Fenghuang continue to say, "Yesterday she came out suddenly, and happened to run into a dispute between my concubine and Jia Jieyu? In the end, Yun Ronghua was involved, how could I think there was a fraud in it! "
"What do you suspect?" Empress Ji asked thoughtfully.
Yun Fenghuang said: "I think that for the imperial concubine, the most important thing at present is nothing more than two things: one, her own child; the other, Yue Jieyu's child."
The queen nodded and said, "Go ahead!"
"Yes." Yun Fenghuang thought for a while, and said, "When I was at home, I heard my mother say that the two, the imperial concubine and Yue Jieyu, should be experienced doctors in this month. The male and female can be separated. The concubine doubts whether the concubine concubine is pregnant with a princess, and Yue Jieyu... Although the concubine can't be compared with the concubine after all, the eldest son of the emperor is different from other concubines, let alone Your Majesty is empty now."
Empress Ji said "hmm" and said it made sense, and immediately asked her: "So what you said before, should you hurry up?"
"Your Majesty, don't worry!" Yun Fenghuang gave her an affirmative look, and whispered, "Isn't it time to escape the summer..."
Seeing that the queen agreed after thinking for a while, she breathed a sigh of relief, and then pulled the queen to act coquettishly again, "By the way, my concubine is in Mianfu Palace today, and I was really shocked... It turns out that the empress dowager ordered her to be kept in the palace. Don’t civet cats be negligent? The concubine was so mad by Jia Jieyu and the others yesterday that she even ordered Huanxier to be killed in public... This..."
"I know about this matter, and I have already suppressed it for you." Empress Ji looked at her with a half-smile, "You are really courageous! Don't mention the queen mother, what is your own status, dare to confront her. The imperial concubine's playful pet is a killer! Fortunately, the tortoiseshell spot ran so fast that the person who didn't ask you caught it on the spot. Otherwise, the imperial concubine would cry and make a fuss in front of this palace. For the sake of the emperor's heir, this palace will have to give you some Check out the colors!"
Yun Fenghuang said coquettishly: "Oh! I don't know that your mother loves me? With Concubine Zheng, how can a mother value her son's law, and how can she surpass you?"
Then asked in a low voice, "Is it okay to ask someone to set up a place to raise civet cats in Xuanqing Palace? I was a little afraid of them when I was young. The wonderful things before... I will not hide it from my mother, but now Hearing the meowing of the civet cat, I feel trembling!"
"Look at your worthless appearance, what's so scary about mere civet cats?" The queen sneered, as if she didn't take it seriously, "Forget it, if that's the case, I'll help you tell the queen mother later, your gorgeous Don't let the civet cats in the Qing Palace, lest the majesty be uneasy in his own palace."
Yun Fenghuang supported the armrest of the phoenix chair, thanked happily, and said: "I already know that the empress is the best!"
"Don't use this to coax me." The empress rarely laughed sincerely, and annoyed her, "Looking at me, I don't know how you usually coax your majesty?"
Although there are all kinds of calculations, and I have never really trusted or valued the young concubine in front of me, but I have to say that it is a pleasant thing for a young and beautiful person to find ways to make himself happy.
The queen waved her hand in a good mood and let her go: "I'm going to the Empress Dowager's side, you can go back to Xuanqing Palace... Just know that the noble concubine has bad intentions, don't let the fennel juice thing happen again! If things happen once and you can still say that you are not careful, but again and again, who would not doubt that you are not worthy of your position and that you can't even protect the people below?"
... Yun Fenghuang returned to Huanhua Palace, took a sip of the herbal tea offered by the palace man, thought for a while, and asked where the emperor is now?
Chen Zhu had only been beaten yesterday, so he didn't dare to be negligent at this moment, so he hurriedly came up to answer in person, saying that the emperor had gone to the Huzhu Palace after he came down from court today.
"How is the Dendrobium Pearl Palace now?" The emperor kept his promise. He said he would go to see Yuan Niangniang, and then he went to see Yuan Niangniang. Yun Fenghuang smiled faintly and asked, "Is it lively?"
She told the queen before that when she was in the Zhuzhu Palace, she had placed people next to Yuan Niangniang, which was enough to control Yuan Niangniang's life and death. Of course, this was to lie to the queen, but Chen Zhu really got some eyeliner in the Zhuzhu Palace. , to inquire about the movement of Ningbi Palace.
Now that she was interested, he smiled and said, "Isn't it lively? I really don't know what to say about that one. Your Majesty hasn't been there for many days. If you change someone, let alone be overjoyed, it's impossible to be Shaking His Majesty's face in front of many palace people? That's the Son of Heaven! But that one actually asked someone to close the door of the palace and not allow His Majesty to enter... The servants are all puzzled, let alone what His Majesty is doing to the other masters in the palace, For her, that really broke my heart!"
Yun Fenghuang was delighted to hear this, and said: "Isn't this what we are all used to seeing? Otherwise, our Jieyu, who has been in the palace for almost ten years, is still raising such a child?"
Then I heard Chen Zhu talk about Yue Jieyu's farce during this period, and the central idea was Yuan Niangniang's various works, so I couldn't help but sigh, "She doesn't look like she has two bodies!"
"It hasn't happened yet." Chen Zhu knew that his master and Yuan Niangniang were not on good terms, so of course he picked up the words, "Your servant is thinking, who knows what will happen in the future? But this one doesn't look like a lucky person after all. look."
Yun Fenghuang said: "Where is the loving mother, the Empress Dowager? Haven't you taken care of her these days?"
The emperor had always been gentle, and he was helpless with Yuan Lianniang, a green plum, but the Empress Dowager Yuan and the Yuan family should not just sit and watch like this all the time, right?
It's fine if it's inconvenient for the Yuan family to intervene outside the palace, and the Empress Dowager Yuan doesn't care about it?
Chen Zhu hurriedly slapped himself: "Damn my servant! The loving mother, the Empress Dowager, was ill a few days ago, and this servant forgot to tell her!"
"Ill?" Yun Fenghuang thought for a while and said, "What kind of illness? Is it serious?"
Seeing that she didn't intend to pursue it, Chen Zhu secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and said, "It's not very comfortable, but the specifics of the discomfort have not been disclosed. It's just that I may not be able to go to the palace..."
It's not that simple that Empress Dowager Yuan is ill.
Yun Fenghuang said in his heart, it seems that the imperial concubine is right, the palace doesn't want Yuan Niangniang to be much better, and he really may not be able to line up.
After thinking about it for a while, he asked again: "The Empress Dowager Yuan is ill, why didn't the Xingningbo Mansion send a message to pay her respects?"
"Uncle Xingning's mansion has sent several posts, but they were all stopped by the empress dowager." Chen Zhu said in a low voice, "The reason is that the empress dowager is tired, and the empress dowager is filial, and she took the initiative to say that she can do nothing. , let Xingningbo Mansion not enter the palace to disturb."
Yun Fenghuang sneered, Qingci Palace is so far away from Chunlan Palace, Uncle Xingning's mansion came to the palace to meet the Empress Dowager Yuan, not to meet the Empress Dowager, and the bad news about the Empress Dowager came from the summer banquet It has been spread to the present, no one knows, and there is nothing to keep secret... Empress Dowager Ji made it clear that she would not let Yuan's people get involved.
"Then Yue Jieyu has been wronged during this period of time." She said, "The family can't see her, and her aunt and aunt can't take care of herself. Your Majesty still doesn't see her. Poor girl, I feel wronged! Sad! No wonder I will vent my anger on His Majesty. That is His Majesty's heart, what else can His Majesty do? I can only bear it!"
He laughed and was about to end the topic when someone came in to report: "Madam, a new recruit from Yuzhen Palace is gone!"
