Treacherous Living in the Imperial Harem

Chapter 226: Shoutout vs Shoutout

"Isn't it?" Yun Fenghuang admitted generously, "It's no wonder that the Ji family was quite jealous of this person before, and specially sent him to a distant place so that he would not be often in front of Emperor Xiaozong, he was indeed astute. "

The corners of Chunjia's lips twitched slightly, and said: "You gave them such a clear hint at the meeting, if you still don't wake up, then you don't want to wake up."

"Where are they unwilling to wake up? Isn't it because His Majesty has always been gracious, thinking that His Majesty is good-natured, and a gentleman can bully him?" Yun Fenghuang snorted softly, "But this Ouyang Yan suddenly started, the others Sooner or later, people should come to their senses and apologize to you. Just wait and see, in the future, I am afraid that there are not a few people who hand in their papers and beg to see you."

Moreover, Chunjia will definitely forgive them.

Maybe he will blame himself for being sorry for his courtiers, and act out that the monarch and his ministers get along well.

After all, he still has to use these people now, doesn't he?

Thinking of this, Yun Fenghuang said again, "But those four families are still understandable. After all, the next thing is over, and it is inevitable that I can't think about it for a while. But Duke Yi, I really can't figure it out! This You have been loyal since you ascended the throne, so why did you favor His Royal Highness Princess Minghui this time? Or do they hate me so much that they don't even care about your face?"

"Duke Yi has always been upright." Chun Jia patted the back of her hand gently, "He really feels sorry for the death of Ming Hui's parents."

The implication is that other people who stand on the side of Princess Minghui may not mean this, at least not necessarily purely.

Yun Fenghuang was not discouraged when he failed to sue. After all, Duke Yi had been with Chunjia for so many years, and he was the only important minister who publicly supported Chunjia before he took office. Also a bit too cool.

Anyway, the future is long, and if you slowly instigate it, the Yun family will be unlucky sooner or later.

"Then you can't just ignore your Majesty!" At this moment, she curled her lips and muttered, "Princess Minghui is pitiful, so Your Majesty won't be in trouble? Originally, there was a grudge between ordinary brothers and sisters, but that's not a big deal. The son only considers the younger sister and not the elder brother, isn't it all about persuading the two brothers and sisters to abandon their prejudices and return to harmony? I am not qualified to say such a thing that day, but none of the civil and military men in the Manchu Dynasty stood up to make things right. They are really just vegetarians. thing."

She also specially selected a few courtiers to scold them, saying that they are a bunch of bastards with no conscience, only caring about themselves and disregarding the emperor... At the end, she sighed and advised Chunjia to promote Deng Chengzhai, Zheng Fengyu and others as soon as possible, "After such an experience , I understand the pain of no one in the court to help you speak. You should also have a team with deep affection, the kind that will always be towards you. "

In fact, she didn't need to say these things, Chunjia knew it in her heart, but she felt comfortable after listening to Concubine Chong's concern, so she responded with a smile.

Yun Fenghuang asked him at this time: "Ouyang Yanran said that she wants to marry my sister with her grandson, can you agree?"

Chunjia was surprised: "You haven't agreed yet?"

"Of course I didn't agree." Yun Fenghuang said without changing his expression, "At the beginning you didn't approve of my sisters marrying a noble family. Even if Concubine Rui said it personally, and said it was Ouyang Yanran's intention, how could I possibly Respond directly? Naturally, I have asked you what you mean."

Chunjia was relieved at first, and then came to his senses, saying that he said so, but if he rejected it, Concubine Xian might make trouble next time.

The most important thing is that Concubine Xian was indeed wronged this time...

Think about how Yun Fenghuang was criticized in the temple, and he was sitting on the throne, but he couldn't even say a word to defend her... After all, his heart softened, and he found an excuse for this compromise: "Ouyang Yanran is old He is too old, even if he supports Ah Huang because of the marriage, he can still speak for Ah Huang for a few years? Besides, his granddaughter is also in the palace, and he never said that he only cares about Ah Huang and ignores his granddaughter."

So he told her in a slow voice: "Since Concubine Rui said it personally, Ouyang Yanran meant it, then you don't tire of Ouyang's children, you can agree."

Seeing Yun Fenghuang thanking her with a smile, Chunjia hesitated for a moment, and then told her to ignore others, "I didn't deliberately suppress the Xie family, it was just that the family was prosperous, and I never talked about it by marrying outsiders." Girl, it is better to have your own children stand up. Originally, the Xie family has you and the son-in-law. As long as the children are willing to work hard and are capable, they will revitalize the family sooner or later. As the saying goes, too much is too late. If there are many famous marriages, I am afraid that the family will be popular. Floating, the mind is all on the shortcut, but neglects the self-cultivation of the body."

Around this moment, there is no second important official who came to propose marriage. Of course, Yun Fenghuang seconded the proposal with a smile, saying how could I not trust you, Aji? I know you are all for my own good.

Chunjia could tell at a glance that she didn't take it seriously, she shook her head without saying anything, and said: "Tomorrow, I'll go to pay my respects to the Empress Dowager, and I'll tell you about Huihui along the way."

"Tell the Empress Dowager that she is getting old after all." Yun Fenghuang persuaded him, "If there is a headache, and the foreign court wants to mutter again, why should we get such a bad reputation for nothing?"

It sounded like he sympathized with the emperor, telling him not to offend the empress dowager for himself.

But Chunjia is familiar with her nature, but she immediately understands, saying: "Have you thought of a way to deal with Ming Hui and the Empress Dowager?"

"How dare I disrespect the elders?"

This is just thinking of a way to deal with the eldest princess Minghui... Because Yun Fenghuang has said a lot to help him in the past two days, he is also embarrassed to let her take it easy, thinking that he should watch it in private, and he can't make Minghui hurt. To save her life, she stroked her temple hair with a smile, and did not continue to ask.

So after a while, Chunjia arrived at the Qingci Palace, and was given a seat by the Empress Dowager. The grandfather and grandson sat down and exchanged greetings. Madame is not well.

Both grandparents and grandchildren were taken aback, looked at each other suspiciously, and asked Mrs. Yaoning in unison what's wrong?

The Empress Dowager asked again: "Isn't Concubine Xian presiding over the palace now? Why don't you go to her first if you have something to do, instead you came to Aijia?"

The palace servant replied: "The concubine Xian has rushed over after receiving the news, but this matter is special, the concubine Xian dare not be self-reliant, so she sent her servants to report to His Majesty."

The Empress Dowager frowned, feeling that the matter was not simple: "What kind of special method?"

"Madame Yaoning is... poisoned." The palace man considered his words carefully, "And it's the same as before, it's all caused by the red crest of the crane."

"Ridiculous!!!" The empress dowager knew what was going on as soon as she heard it, she was furious, and patted the table to question Chunjia, "The emperor just said that you, my grandparents and grandchildren were originally a family, and turned around and asked the concubine to frame Minghui, Is this how you treat your family?!"

Chunjia didn't expect this to happen, he was stunned for a while, and he felt sorry for it. It must have been arranged by Yun Fenghuang, and he was more accepting of this method, so that the concubines of the sixth palace played the banner of being poisoned, Forcing Minghui to cultivate her self-cultivation and gender thinking, it's better than this step-sister's bullying. One day the siblings will get into trouble and have to deal with them.

He then calmly persuaded the Empress Dowager to calm down, saying that this incident was definitely not done by himself, and that the other concubines were fine, but Gu Zhen was the most honest and upright, how could he do the thing of framing the eldest princess: "Minghui is young and behaves It is inevitable to be impulsive. At the court meeting that day, Gu Jiashu was teased by Wei's father and son, and said a few words for the concubine Xian, so Minghui would not be happy with this behavior, right?"

The Empress Dowager sneered and said, "Minghui has the ability to murder Mrs. Yaoning?!"

"Although Mrs. Yaoning entered the palace many years earlier than Concubine Xian, she is not as good as Concubine Xian when it comes to governing the palace." Chunjia said sincerely, "Minghui can even harm Concubine Xian, let alone Yaoning. What about the madam? Grandmother doesn't have to worry, how can the concubine dare to compare with the eldest princess who was left behind by the late emperor? My grandson will go to Qiongfang Palace to watch, no matter what, I can't let the imperial sister be wronged."

Both grandparents and grandchildren knew in their hearts that Minghui never murdered Yun Fenghuang, let alone Mrs. Yaoning.

But the empress dowager needs to kill Minghui for the regent. It is hard to reveal the truth, so I can only say: "The emperor said before that he would give Minghui an explanation in the past few days, so that's how he explained it? You If you are partial to the concubine, you don't want to make the concubine Xian suffer for Xiaozong's flesh and blood, so you just say it, but you still want to beat him back, how can you bear it!?"

Chunjia smiled gently, and said: "Where did the imperial grandmother think, how could the grandson treat Minghui because of a mere concubine? The grandson really didn't know about this matter, and whether Minghui did it or not, did the grandson treat Minghui?" Can you still blame Minghui?"

In short, he refused to admit it, and the Empress Dowager couldn't help it.

Moreover, Yun Fenghuang is not lenient at all, Madam Yao Ning was rumored to be red on the top of the crane, and her feet are the new concubine Wei Hengyan who is still in confinement, and she also asked her servants to come and cry I begged to be the master: "My mother has not been feeling well these past two days, so she has a bad appetite. Today, I only used two bites of the meal and put the chopsticks on it. All the rest was rewarded to the servants. As a result, the servants did not eat two bites. A palace servant who has been serving the palace since her concubine entered the palace has lost all blood from her seven orifices... The imperial doctor said that it is the same as the concubine next door, the concubine Xian, who is red on the top of a crane!"

That's not to mention, in the evening, Ruifei and Yin Zhaoyi also spread the news that the meal was poisoned, so a group of concubines gathered, looking for Chunjia, looking for the Empress Dowager, crying and crying, saying that they have something to offend Ming Huichang Where the princess is, please feel free to say, you can be beaten or punished casually, just don't let them die for no reason.

Among them, Concubine Rui even carried her child into battle: "It is not a pity for my concubine to die, but the second prince is still young, and it is time to take care of his concubine mother. Now that the middle palace is vacant, the concubine Xian survived from death, and all the sisters are free. But how can he take good care of the heir? His Majesty has been on the throne for almost ten years, and there is only such a little flesh and blood under his knees. If there is a mistake, but these people are called concubines, how can they face the prince when they die? The ancestors of the Xiang family? Princess Ming Hui herself murdered her nephew and the heir and grandson of the late Emperor Xiaozong, how can she explain to the late Emperor Xiaozong?!"

Of course Chunjia scolded them not to talk nonsense, saying how could this matter have something to do with Princess Minghui? Concubine Xian also said that she did not believe that the person who attacked was the eldest princess.

"Your Majesty, this was admitted by His Highness the Eldest Princess at the court meeting." Concubine Rui reminded him with tears, "Otherwise, how dare I doubt Her Royal Highness the Eldest Princess?"

When she was crying, the second prince who was still in his infancy was awakened, probably not used to the strange environment, and Chunjia who was not far away basically ignored this son, the child started crying, and when he cried, Concubine Rui followed Crying, accompanied by the concubines and palace people crying, the hall was full of crying for a while, it was really horrible.

Seeing this, Chunjia softened her tone, saying that if you don't believe me, why don't you ask the Empress Dowager, she is Minghui's real grandmother, who knows Minghui best.

The concubines got the hint, and they arrived at Qingci Palace in a mighty manner. Concubine Rui still held the second prince in her arms. The child cried for a long time because no one was coaxing him. At this time, he stopped because he was tired and was still hiccupping. , looking very pitiful, Concubine Rui has been hugging her personally, but she has no intention of pity, she dragged him to show the empress dowager when she entered the door, saying that it was all because the concubines in the palace were threatened with death today, and even the emperor's heirs were not allowed to marry him. It's easy to cause: "I beg the empress dowager to be merciful!"

A group of people followed and knelt down: "I beg the Empress Dowager to be the master of my concubine!"

The empress dowager on the phoenix seat was pale and angrily staring at them. After a while, she squeezed out a voice from between her teeth: "...Ai family is old and frail, what can I do for you? What kind of grace? I ask you to spare Aijia and let Aijia stay here for a while!"

When the concubines heard the words, you looked at me and I looked at you, and they hesitated a little... This empress dowager seems to be planning to play tricks by relying on her status?

what to do?

At the critical moment, a flash of inspiration flashed in Yin Xuan's mind, and he persuaded his companions that we are indeed bothering the Empress Dowager too much by Meng Lang, why don't we go to Yaoyu Palace to ask Princess Huichang?

The Empress Dowager is an elder with a noble status. It is only natural for these concubines to kneel down to her, and the Empress Dowager is not afraid.

But Princess Minghui is only Chunjia's peer or younger sister, so I don't believe that many of them kneel down to the gate of Yaoyu Palace with the emperor's heir, and Princess Minghui can ignore it!

If this eldest princess can ignore it, no one else will either!
