Treacherous Living in the Imperial Harem

Chapter 144 You Just Know It, Old Guy!

"..." Yun Fenghuang was stunned for a moment, and whispered, "Maybe it's because... the servant who was killed by the stick was quick and quick? So he died quickly?"

Chunjia laughed angrily, and her face turned cold: "Aifei is really decisive, three lives, all of which are similar to your age, how can you be so nonchalant?"

"Your Majesty, if Jin Fengyi's master and servant are completely innocent, why should I arrange for them to die suddenly? Could it be that the palace people can't support such a small matter?" Yun Fenghuang noticed his expression, but remained calm , said, "But An Baolin is gone."

Chun Jia snorted and said: "You are kind-hearted. You don't feel sorry for the people in your own palace, so you turn to feel sorry for the people in Chengyue Palace. Then why did you have to fight Cui Jieyu so angry just now?"

Yun Fenghuang said: "It has nothing to do with whether An Baolin is from Chengyue Palace or not. Among the concubines, Fengyi is only higher than Cainu. Jin Fengyi is the same age as my concubine, and they are both very young. Now I just want to force him for a bracelet. An Baolin dies, who knows what will happen in the future? You must know that Yi Yuwan will give birth in a few months, the emperor's heir is delicate, and I don't want to leave such a scourge in my palace to be distracted!"

"Furthermore."

She twitched her lips, "If I don't do this, how do I know that His Majesty has pity for Chengyue Palace?"

"I knew you wouldn't admit your mistake, and would turn around and say I was wrong." Chun Jiaxie said, "The people in your palace are probably born in poverty, with different temperaments, so they will inevitably act recklessly. As the main position, the discipline is It should be, but it's not a good thing to keep silent and spread the word..."

He paused at this point, and Yun Fenghuang smiled and stepped forward to take his arm and act like a spoiled child: "I know that your majesty is doing it for my own good! Don't worry, your majesty, this time it is absolutely unexpected that the Jin family With such shallow eyelids, and being caught off guard, in order to prevent the empress from taking the opportunity to cause trouble, she had to cut the mess quickly! With such a lesson, I have already ordered my subordinates to give some rules to the people in the palace, so as not to make such a mess again Waiting for the unknown thing to come, dragging down the concubine's body, ruining the expectations of His Majesty and the loving mother, the empress dowager, the concubine's life will never be redeemed!"

Chunjia didn't move and let her hold her arm, and said lazily, "It's really strange that you didn't continue to be jealous of Mrs. Cui?"

He was already mentally prepared for the concubine to grab him and tell her that she was angry with Cui Lianye and would not let him go!

As a result, Yun Fenghuang didn't do this, and Chunjia was surprised, but also felt relieved that "my beloved concubine is finally sensible"...

But after thinking about it, he felt something was wrong: Concubines should be magnanimous! Why should Yun Fenghuang be so jealous!

Besides, Cui Lianye entered the palace much earlier than Yun Fenghuang, so if he wanted to be jealous, it should be Cui Lianye who was jealous of Yun Fenghuang!

"Her?" Yun Fenghuang said contemptuously, "She is ten years younger than my concubine, and she is almost ready to be my concubine's mother. Is this concubine jealous of her?"

As a result, after saying this, the emperor slowly turned his head, stared at her for a while, and then smiled slightly: "I am the same age as Mrs. Cui. So, in the eyes of my concubine, I am also old?"

Did you know that, old man?

Yun Fenghuang slandered in his heart, but said with a smile on his face: "Your Majesty said this, if you don't say how long your life is, and walk out with my concubine, who wouldn't think you are my elder brother?"

Chunjia let out a "huh" and said lightly: "I remember your eldest brother is ten years older than you, fifteen or sixteen? Are you not as old as your eldest nephew? So I am in the eyes of my concubine." Are you so old? Huh?"

Yun Fenghuang sneered: "The concubine means that you look the same age as the concubine."

"Really?" Chunjia squinted her eyes, and said with a half smile, "Ji Shi also said so a few years ago."

The master is less suspicious of the country, so the emperor should concentrate on his studies and entrust the government affairs to these old officials, so as to prevent the young and ignorant emperor from making wrong decisions and harming the country.

Yun Fenghuang wiped off his sweat and continued to struggle: "No, no, no concubine means that your majesty is not only handsome and powerful, but also full of vigor and vitality, just like the rising sun, bright and vigorous, how can that lowly servant girl of the Cui family compare? ?”

Seeing that the emperor's face was sinking like water, and it seemed that he couldn't be coaxed for a while, she quickly changed the topic, "By the way, the loving mother, the Empress Dowager, has become much more energetic in the past two days, and she ate half a bowl of bird's nest porridge this morning." Woolen cloth!"

Chunjia looked at her coldly, and after a while, she snorted coldly: "Wei Chongrong has made great contributions to serving the sick, and he deserves a reward!"

I deliberately didn't mention Yun Fenghuang and ran to the Fangyin Pavilion these days when I had time, and spent a lot of time serving the Queen Mother Yuan.

Yun Fenghuang was feeling guilty right now, and didn't dare to reason with him, so he just asked with a smile: "Then, Your Majesty, do you want to go in and see the loving mother, the Empress Dowager?"

The emperor waved his hand: "Go and do your work, I will go to see my mother."

After dismissing Yun Fenghuang, after entering the room, he praised Wei Hengyan a little, and then ordered her to retreat, only the mother and son and a few servants were left in the dormitory.

The Empress Dowager Yuan looked around and ordered everyone except Zhanliu to back down, Fang smiled and said: "It's nothing more than a servant, if you bully others and commit crimes, you won't be wronged if you are dealt with by the real concubine, why should the emperor come in such a hurry to scold the real concubine? Concubine Zhen is young, so it is inevitable that she is anxious, let's talk about it carefully and teach it slowly."

"Because the real concubine is young, the child thought that she had to be strictly disciplined." Chunjia said slowly, "Otherwise, she would develop a habit of killing people under her will, and spread the word, and said that the child's harem is full of poisonous women, and the imperial concubine's harem is full of vicious women. Prestige is not a good thing... But the child came in a hurry, not because of her, and just caught up with a few casual reprimands. The main reason is that I heard that the queen mother was disturbed here, and I was worried that the queen would be ignorant and disturb the mother's rest."

"But listening to them say a few words, where is it disturbing?" Queen Mother Yuan said with a smile, "Don't blame the real concubine too much, she is not as good as the queen, and her qualifications are also low. If she doesn't come this time, she will be caught by the queen The handle is not strong enough to speak in the future. The same is cruel to the people in the palace, but the real concubine is much smarter than Lianniang. Lianniang is ruthless regardless of the severity, alas!"

When mentioning Yuan Niangniang, Chunjia frowned, then smiled and said: "Let the concubines handle these matters by themselves, and the queen mother should concentrate on taking care of her. Otherwise, even if the child is in the former court, she will not be at ease."

He said again, "I just heard from Concubine Zhen that my mother used half a bowl of porridge too much this morning? My son, please reward the cook who made the porridge."

So he accompanied the Queen Mother Yuan, said some short words to the parents, and saw that it was not early, and then resigned and left.

After he left, the smile on the corner of Empress Dowager Yuan's mouth gradually faded, she was silent for a while, and then said lightly: "Come out."

Behind the screen, Yuan Niangniang in Tsing Yi Yuchai came out with a pale face, without saluting, she just sat on the lower head with her stomach supported, without saying a word.

The queen mother didn't blame her for being rude, she just took a sip of tea and said calmly: "Did you hear that?"

Yuan Niangniang was expressionless and did not speak.

"The emperor has taken care of Xiaoyun, and is afraid that she will repeat your mistakes and get a bad reputation inside and outside at a young age. Looking back, there is nothing in the palace, and there is no proof. Everyone believes that it is true. She did it." Empress Dowager Yuan said calmly, "It's like you—if it wasn't for your bad reputation in the palace, when Xiaoyun framed your palace people to push her into the water, how could you go from Empress Dowager Ji to Zhu Yuanzhang? Concubine, even Aijia is suspicious, think this is really your handwriting?"

"If it's someone like Concubine Shu, who would doubt her? Even if she doubts, who would dare to bring it up without any evidence?"

The queen mother sighed when she said this, "The Ai family told you this truth back then. But you didn't listen. But Xiaoyun's is different. She has a good mother and won't let her daughter be confused... Just look at it, Xiaoyun will definitely find ways to change her reputation next time. Following Concubine Shu's example and being a virtuous person back then, at least everyone will have no choice but to say that she is a virtuous person..."

"What does this have to do with me?" Yuan Lianniang finally spoke, with no fluctuations in her face and eyes, and said lightly, "Your Majesty despises me, and my aunt doesn't like me anymore. I don't know now. What do I have to do? alive?"

Zhan Liu listened, frowned slightly, and said: "Jieyu said this to the empress, it is too chilling to the empress! If the empress doesn't like you, why should I let you come here, and personally listen to these words, and personally enlighten you? The empress is kneeling No daughter, I will treat you as my own daughter, even if you do stupid things again and again, why does the empress really ignore you? Don't talk about anything else, just talk about the matter of Yuan Cairen before. Can you continue to carry the Fangyin Pavilion, safe and sound?!"

Yuan Niangniang was silent for a while, and said: "Yes, I'm sorry for my aunt's painstaking efforts, but... now that I understand, what can I do? It's just to let my aunt worry about it, and let your majesty see me making trouble."

"You're only so young, so why talk about yourself as if you're seven and eighty years old and powerless." Queen Mother Yuan shook her head and said slowly, "You don't think about yourself, but you also think about your child. For the sake of this child's safety How much thought has the Ai family spent so far? You yourself have been worrying and frightened these days... Could it be that the end is coming, just because you are disheartened and don't care about the child's life or death?"

She sighed, "The emperor is not ruthless to you, and you don't think that you grew up together. Can others be the same? It's just that you have been too ignorant all these years, and you have broken his heart and made him tired. That's why he doesn't want to come to see you. But even if he doesn't want to come to see you, he still wants to see the child. Be good and don't torment him so much. Can he not remember you when he sees the child a few times? "

"So what?" Yuan Niangniang said sadly, "He already has Yunfenghuang and Wei Hengyan. Even if he softens his heart for the sake of the child, he can't treat me like he used to. So will he come to see me? , what's the point? Anyway, with my aunt's protection, my child and I won't suffer in this palace."

"It might as well be like this."

She said indifferently, "He doesn't want to see me now, and I don't want to see him either... From now on, I will guard the child!"

Seeing Empress Dowager Yuan's chest rising and falling, her tone slowed down a lot, "If Auntie doesn't find me annoying, I will visit Auntie often in the future."

"..." The queen mother was silent for a long time before she said, "Don't say such angry words, life is very long. The Ai family knows that you are not feeling well now, but it is really not the emperor's fault. Over the years, It's not easy for you, the emperor's son is even more difficult. But you don't care about him at all, you just cause trouble with him, how can he not avoid you after too many times?"

Yuan Niangniang showed a sarcasm: "But before he took office, no, when he took office, he didn't say that he wouldn't come at all as it is now."

The emperor used her as a shield, as a cover, as a proof of establishment...

Yun Fenghuang was not the only one who told her these words.

It's just that Yuan Niangniang never believed it before, she firmly believed that the emperor loved her sincerely.

It's as if her parents are not more important than Chunjia in her eyes.

but now……

Facts were laid out one after another, especially the scene where Chun Jia and Yun Fenghuang were talking alone just now while hiding in the dark: Empress Dowager Yuan always felt that the emperor annoyed her because she was not considerate of the emperor and not submissive enough, But could Yun Fenghuang be submissive or considerate to the emperor?

She directly admitted that Jin Fengyi's so-called violent death was ordered by her to be executed with a stick; she was even jealous, and yelled at Cui Jieyu as a "bad maid"!

It is true that Yuan Lianniang had the same attitude in front of Chunjia in the past, but what was Chunjia's reaction at that time? He followed her words and was very obedient, which made her more and more convinced that she was different in this Sangong and Liuyuan.

At that time, Yuan Niangniang felt that Chunjia was sincerely partial to her.

But just now, Chunjia seemed to refute Yun Fenghuang every sentence, not without questioning, and her tone was relaxed and casual, but Yuan Lianniang pinched her palm bit by bit.

In front of her, the emperor had always been pretending?

Although her aunt, the Empress Dowager Yuan, made it clear that she still supported her, Yuan Niangniang no longer had the courage to continue entangled with the emperor.

What has supported her to live in this palace all these years is the mutual love.

But now she gradually discovered that the entire palace was full of discerning people, and she was the only one who couldn't see clearly.

Yuan Niangniang is now at a loss and doesn't know where to go, but no matter what, it is impossible to lower her figure to seek peace with the emperor - she has never subdued before the emperor, and it was when she felt that the emperor loved her, and now she finds The emperor was not as sincere to her as she thought... Yuan Niangniang thought, then why does she still want to be an undercover girl?

Anyway, it's impossible for the emperor to take pity on her, right?

"Auntie, don't try to persuade me." Yuan Niangniang withdrew her thoughts, collected herself, and stood up, "I'll just live like this, anyway, so many people in the palace failed to give birth to an heir, who knows if I have that fate, right? ?”

Said, walked away.

Empress Dowager Yuan sat motionless for a while, then sighed softly, and asked Zhanliu, "It's because Aijia's intentions are too sinister, so God's will is not on Aijia's side. Yet?"
