Chapter 181 What Kind of Fate Is This!
Yun Fenghuang didn't know Chunjia's immoral thoughts, and after arranging to provoke Yuan Yuniang, she called Jiang Lai to her and asked about Yi Xingen's situation carefully. After learning that everything in the palace was fine, she nodded slightly: "Although Yue Xiu Yuan is self-inflicted, but in this palace, the birth of an heir has always been difficult... let's not focus on watching the jokes in the Huzhu Palace, and make ourselves a joke in the end."
Jiang Lai said: "How can it be? The servant girl heard about the incident over there, and the first thing she thought of was to take care of Yigui more attentively, but she dared not slack off in the slightest."
"Trouble mom." Yun Fenghuang was still relieved of her. After all, he was one of the most useful people in front of the Jiang family, and he also had sufficient experience in serving pregnant women and babies. The reward came up and sent her away, but Jiang Lai said in a low voice: "It's just, ma'am, the origin of Mrs. Yigui is a bit confusing."
Yun Fenghuang asked in surprise: "What's wrong?"
She knew that there was something wrong with Yi Xingen's background, after all, in Wannian County, Yi Xingen had exposed that the so-called amnesia was a lie. For this reason, she also sent people to Zhizhou to find out the root cause, but Zhizhou is far away from the imperial capital, and it is still in chaos, so far no news has come back.
But Yun Fenghuang actually didn't care much about this point, after all, no matter whether Yi Xingen's background was good or bad, what kind of disturbances could be caused by holding someone in her hands?
Most importantly, she felt that she needed a child next, and Yi Xingen happened to be pregnant, so even if the concubine couldn't stay, she would have to give birth to the child before she died.
At this moment, he didn't care much and asked Jiang Lai to explain clearly.
Jiang Lai said: "According to my servant's observation, Yigui should have practiced dancing since she was a child, so she has a good figure and light steps. Moreover, her waist is particularly flexible and strong. I'm afraid it will not be difficult for her to give birth in the future."
... There is a reason why she observes Yi Xingen like this. Ever since she decided to let her enter the palace to serve Yun Fenghuang, Yun Fenghuang only told her to take good care of Yi Xingen; However, although the common saying says that the grace of birth is not as great as the grace of nurturing, the presence of a biological mother is always a matter of concern. For example, Chunjia is filial to the Empress Dowager Yuan. Chunjia's biological mother?
Therefore, during Yi Xingen's pregnancy, she just had to serve her well.
When it's time for production...
If you can leave the mother and keep the child, it is better to leave the mother and keep the child.
In particular, although Jiang shi had never met Yi Xingen, he had heard that this concubine was even more beautiful than his own daughter, so he couldn't tolerate her even more.
Jiang Lai and the Jiang family have been in the relationship of master and servant for many years, but it has only been a few months before Yun Fenghuang, so of course she listens to the Jiang family more.
What's more, she also felt that it was for Yun Fenghuang's good.
Originally, I thought Yi Xingen would describe her as cowardly, but now that she is giving birth, she is half-footed in the coffin, so maybe she doesn't have to do much, and this concubine is a concubine.
As a result, after serving these days, I found that this noble man looked weak, but he was actually very healthy. If he was allowed to go on like this, the mother and child would probably be safe when the fruit is ripe.
Jiang Lai couldn't help but feel a little anxious, so he took advantage of Yun Fenghuang's questioning and tactful probing—after all, killing Yi Xingen was a small matter, but if there was a grudge between Yun Fenghuang and the child left by Yi Xingen, it would be a big deal. Playing tricks in the Xuanqing Palace, without the cooperation of Yun Fenghuang, the main position, it is difficult for her not to leave traces.
The reason why she didn't discuss it clearly was because she thought that this young lady of hers was young, and Yi Xingen was always docile and obedient, so she wondered if she would be merciful? If you speak out directly, Yun Fenghuang flatly rejects it, so it's not easy to mediate; why don't you try to find out the master's attitude first, and then decide whether to persuade him implicitly, or to persuade people like Shang Qing people to subtly persuade, or to cut first and then play persuade?
"Learn to dance? Are you sure?" Yun Fenghuang didn't notice her intentions, but focused on Yi Xingen's dancing since childhood.
Can't help frowning slightly: Yi Xingen was literate before and knew a little about medical theory, which is no longer something that ordinary people can teach. Now she has practiced dancing. Ru Jiang Lai is puzzled, what is the origin of this?
Why does it feel more complicated than her experience?
After thinking about it for a while, Yun Fenghuang finally said, "I know about it, let's leave her alone and wait for the emperor's heir to land."
Seeing that Jiang Lai hesitated to speak, he slowed down and added, "I sent someone to Zhizhou to thoroughly investigate her life experience before, but there was no response due to the long distance. By then, there may be clues. "
Only then was Jiang Lai blessed: "Yes, the servant girl is retiring."
When Jiang Lai left, Yun Fenghuang pinched his forehead and sighed, "I don't worry about one or two!"
Just as he was saying this, someone outside spread the word that it was Wei Zhaorong who asked to see him.
"You don't go to the Spring Palace to accompany the Empress Dowager, why are you here at this time?" Yun Fenghuang said "please" when he heard the words, and after a while, Wei Hengyan came in to salute with a troubled expression , then waved her to get up, and pointed to the seat not far away, "What? What's the matter?"
"It's... a good thing." Wei Hengyan sighed, looked around and saw all the attendants, and said, "Someone is happy with my sister."
Yun Fenghuang was startled for a moment, and immediately said: "This is indeed a good thing, the feast is just over, the Empress Dowager and Her Majesty felt bad about the commotion in the Dendrobium Palace... It's a rare piece of good news for the loving mother, the Empress Dowager Is there any good news?"
"No, I came to my sister first when I heard the news." Wei Hengyan bit his lip, "After all, everyone can see that what happened this time, the loving mother Empress Dowager really loves Yue Xiuyuan. The eldest prince... ...Your sister doesn't even know what to say when she went to the Spring Palace?"
"You can say what you want to say." Yun Fenghuang said disapprovingly, "It is true that what happened to Yue Xiuyuan made the empress dowager's heart ache, but what does it have to do with you? You can't let the other concubines in the palace die because of Yue Xiuyuan's premature birth." The news of pregnancy can’t be spread? This one in your palace is a blessed one, and the good news can be spread on this eye joint, which will be a comfort to the loving mother, the empress dowager, your majesty, and even this palace.”
Therefore, the news that the concubine is pregnant, she will reward and celebrate it well, so as to dilute the haze brought by the Huzhu Palace.
These Wei Hengyans also know that although she was a little disappointed when she heard the news, Yijia Palace has two pregnancy news, so why is she still not in the position of herself, but happiness in the palace is better than nothing Well, so I am also happy.
At this moment, instead of announcing the good news to Chunjia or the loving mother Empress Dowager, she came to find Yun Fenghuang, but she was worried: "Sister, tell me, will the loving mother Empress Dowager send this concubine to Huzhou because of Yue Xiuyuan... Pearl Palace?"
This time Yuan Niangniang has completely hated Chunjia, and it is almost impossible for her to turn around in the future. On the other hand, if the eldest prince born by her can live to the full moon, it will be regarded as a great fortune, and the bad news is only a few days old, so that the previous court is in a dilemma, whether to write the letter to congratulate the emperor on the birth of a son?
Don't write it, Chunjia has been married for eight years, and finally saw a child who fell to the ground, and he was still a prince. How can a courtier remain indifferent?
Write it down, the prince's sad reminder has been spread all over the harem, maybe the emperor's congratulations will see half of it, and the harem will report his funeral...
Under such circumstances, it is not impossible for Queen Mother Yuan to send a pregnant concubine to the Huzhu Palace in order to comfort Yuan Niangniang and also to provide Yuan Niangniang with a guarantee in the future.
If Empress Dowager Yuan was an arrogant elder like Empress Dowager Ji, Wei Hengyan would not have gone to Chunjia to be a lowly little girl crying and complaining about her grievances.
But the Empress Dowager Yuan... If she really wanted to make this quarrel for her niece, she would probably grab Wei Hengyan's hand, snot her nose and cry, and Wei Hengyan, who was the first to cry, offered to help her solve her problems.
Wei Hengyan thought about the situation for a while, and felt that unless the Empress Dowager Yuan had no such intentions, he must know what she was thinking but there was nothing he could do.
No, come here to talk to Yun Fenghuang?
"...That's true." Yun Fenghuang heard the words, thought for a while, and nodded, "I almost forgot that the loving mother, the Empress Dowager, is probably going to the poor world to save Yue Xiuyuan's life. Well, this is something that must be guarded against!"
It's just that neither she nor Wei Hengyan know that Chunjia has now personally stepped out to cut off Yuan Niangniang's retreat. Even if the Empress Dowager Yuan really intends to give this niece a son and a half daughter to rely on in the future, she is not at all right now. I can't open my mouth.
In their view, Yuan Niangniang is not good enough, but the Empress Dowager Yuan is not. She is the first closest person in the eyes of the emperor.
Within his ability, no one would wrong this empress who is not her own but is better than her own.
Therefore, after discussing for a long time, they couldn't find a firm solution. After all, Queen Mother Yuan had means, and she would never give the second concubine a chance to gain the upper hand in reason, and Chunjia was partial to the queen mother... The mother and son agreed, and they What else can I do?
"Actually..." Just as he was feeling tricky, Xie Hengyu, who was serving beside him, suddenly said, "Actually, this matter is not very difficult."
Both Yun Fenghuang and Wei Hengyan looked at her, Xie Hengyu lowered his eyes slightly, and said in a low voice: "Women always earn their lives in childbirth, and this is true for Yue Xiuyuan, let alone a mere concubine? Fengyi also belongs to Yijia Palace."
"..." The second concubine reacted, and understood what she meant because she didn't want to speak out: I really don't want to take advantage of Yuan Niangniang, so I just kill this unformed emperor's heir, or take care of the palace concubine, isn't it?
Anyway, there are pregnant concubines in this palace, ranging from the noble concubines to the maids who used to climb the bed in the Huzhu Palace, how many of them will end well?
Even if something goes wrong, if you do it cleanly, it will be a mess, and there is no way to get to the bottom of it.
Wei Hengyan was stunned for a moment, and his smile was a bit forced: "This...that's true. It's just the matter of Yue Xiuyuan that's over. If there's bad news after that, I'm afraid...it's not very auspicious?"
She was not very willing to do this crime. After all, although the pregnant concubine was not very close to her, she had no conflicts and had always respected her.
If she doesn't kill the concubine today, she will have a bad life, then Wei Hengyan is not a good person.
But the situation is not so serious now...
Wei Hengyan felt that just killing the concubine in this way was a bit... difficult.
Of course, such a difficult situation is not enough to make her oppose Yun Fenghuang, at most she can show her attitude a little bit.
If Yun Fenghuang insisted on eradicating future troubles, she would not say anything more.
Yun Fenghuang simply thought for a while, then shook his head slightly: "Sister Wei is right, the palace has been troubled enough for the Huzhu Palace in the past two days, it is rare to get good news, there is no need to change it into another bad news for the sake of Yuan Lianniang—— Let's just say, it's getting late today, and His Majesty seems to be talking to the loving mother Empress Dowager in the Spring Palace right now, let's not bother. Wait until tomorrow, I will go with you to announce the good news to the loving mother Empress Dowager!"
The two then checked the lines that would be delivered at that time, and tried not to give the Empress Dowager Yuan a chance to speak up.
As a result, the next day, I arrived at the Spring Palace, please Ann Bi, the Empress Dowager Yuan exchanged a few words with a group of concubines, and asked Empress Ji who was "falling ill" again, showing the look of dismissing them, and the second concubine seized the opportunity to go forward to congratulate her After talking about the news that the talented Chen Shi of Yijia Palace is happy, the Queen Mother Yuan smiled, and a servant from the outside ran in hastily: "The eldest prince... the eldest prince is gone!"
Yun Fenghuang: "..."
Wei Hengyan: "..."
What kind of luck is this?
ah? !
Or are they really incompatible with Huzhu Palace? ? ?
It's a rare time to catch up with this just because I was on guard and didn't mean to do anything? ? ?
Sure enough, the Empress Dowager Yuan, who had been smiling just now, quickly stiffened after being dazed, and when she looked at them again later, she felt lonely and cold.
