Chapter 277 On the Technique of Repentance

The Qing people complained about Xie Meng in their hearts, and then realized a problem. They couldn't help but chased Yun Fenghuang into the inner hall, and bravely persuaded: "Your Majesty, there are some things that can't be done. Besides, Your Majesty is now Your Majesty is really caring too much. Look at Deng Chengzhai, a wealthy family who is vying for a husband-in-law candidate. Your Majesty will agree if you open your mouth? And the 15th Prince..."

"Where are you thinking?" Yun Fenghuang walked up to the head and sat down, looked at her coldly, and said with sarcasm, "What? I'm worried that I'm still thinking about someone I shouldn't be thinking about, and it's hurting your family. future?"

The Qing people immediately knelt down: "Your Majesty, this maidservant must never dare to have such an idea! The maidservant is just afraid that your Majesty will feel uncomfortable."

"What's so uncomfortable about this palace." The imperial concubine said coldly, "If it is uncomfortable, it should be Qi Jiulu. Back then, it was Bengong who gave up on him first, not him! As for Bengong this time Indulging Meng'er, in the final analysis, is not for him!"

No one would believe such words, and he was afraid that his master would be furious if he said them, so he could only persuade him in a low voice: "Your Majesty, those things are over..."

Yun Fenghuang said slowly: "I know it's over, and if I give me another chance, I will actually make a similar choice... In fact, it's just a little bit difficult, so I want to make up for it a little bit by taking advantage of it." Let go of the regrets of the past."

Seeing the worried look on Qingren's face, he shook his head, feeling that he couldn't explain clearly to the valet, so he only asked her to back down.

There was only one noble concubine in the spacious bedroom, she looked around and smiled a little self-consciously.

The Qing people didn't believe it... It's not surprising, after all, this is an old man in front of the Jiang family, watching her grow up, no, it should be said, watching her grow up with Qi Jiulu.

He is most aware of the friendship between their childhood sweethearts back then.

That's the real childhood sweetheart's innocence... As for Yunfenghuang and Chunjia, although they are somewhat sincere, they have calculated each other from the beginning. This sincerity, let alone the weight of it now, is actually in their hearts , I still have to weigh it, just say that the friendship that started like this, how can it be pure?

But she was willing to pamper Xie Meng this time, not for Qi Jiulu.

The reason for her is that when she was twelve years old, she didn't have an aunt like herself to pamper her and protect her, so that her life had to enter the wind and frost knife and halberd early.

Looking back at the past at the current age, the regret of not being able to grow old with Qi Jiulu has actually been very faded.

After all, both of them have had their own children, and the scene of their childhood sweetheart at the age of twelve seems so far away from the previous life.

As the Qing people said, everything in the past has passed away.

Yun Fenghuang's regret is still unforgettable, the powerlessness and despair when the accident happened.

That kind of helplessness.

At that time, no one in the Xie family could help her, but now she let Xie Meng do it according to his temperament, which is more or less a comfort in her heart.

"So, I am most concerned about myself after all..." The imperial concubine was stunned for a moment, then smiled helplessly and relieved.

After all, she also struggled alone in the most difficult time, didn't she?

After half a day, Yun Fenghuang calmed down and ordered someone to summon Chen Jing to come to him: "I remember, when I asked you about Deng Chengzhai's marriage earlier, you said that all the big and powerful families in the capital are concerned about it?"

Chen Jing already knew that Chunjia had succeeded in being a matchmaker in person, but the master was worried that the matter would not be safe, so he hurriedly congratulated her, and then said: "Your Majesty, don't worry, although everyone wants to make the matchmaker My daughter is given to Mr. Deng, but not to mention that Mr. Deng doesn't think much of it at all, even His Majesty will definitely not allow it!"

Yun Fenghuang said lightly: "Even so, you have to be careful... you should draw up a list of those families and let me have a look."

She had thought about it, Chunjia's words meant what she said, and Deng Chengzhai tried every means to make excuses, and it took him a lot of effort to convince the other party.

Under such circumstances, the emperor came to announce the good news in person, and he would regret it when he turned around. Who would be happy if it changed?

Even if Yun Fenghuang is very satisfied and thinks she is sure to coax him, but no matter how much the emperor favors, there may not be enough things for her to do in the future, and she is not so extravagant. Therefore, it is better to throw the pot away when regretting the marriage.

After all, she doesn't plan to let Xie Meng marry Deng Chengzhai now, but there are many families in the imperial capital who still want such a son-in-law very much. That being the case, she managed to fulfill these people, and by the way, in exchange for Xie Meng's chance to find another suitable husband, everyone really gets what they need, right?

As for whether these people are willing or not, Yun Fenghuang naturally doesn't bother to care.

At this moment, I ordered Chen Jing, Yun Fenghuang to dress up and go to Chongchang Palace to meet the queen in person.

In the past two days, because of the good fortune of the tenth prince, the empress was in a better mood, but when she saw the imperial concubine begging to see her, her expression became gloomy again, because she remembered the loss suffered by the third prince.

So after Yun Fenghuang saw the ceremony, she didn't back down, and just asked lightly: "The imperial concubine is really a rare visitor, what's the matter? If it's because of Zhaoqing's grievances, then don't speak up. After all, Bing'er's leg injury, At this moment, the mark has not gone down yet!"

"Your Majesty, their siblings are about the same age, what is it to fight each other?" Yun Fenghuang had never been restrained in front of Chunjia, let alone with the Queen. Seeing this, he stood up by himself and walked He sat down calmly on the seat next to him, and just now casually said, "Children, it's normal for a quarrelsome person to break up friendship today, and to be intimate again tomorrow. We also came over at that age, Who didn't quarrel with brothers and sisters when they were young? Isn't it still related by blood? Otherwise, what kind of family is it?"

Gu Zhen's face turned livid when he choked on these words, the person who was beaten together was not the emperor's heir in front of you, of course you don't feel backache when you stand and talk!

She laughed back angrily: "What the imperial concubine said was easy! Do you have to see the extent of Bing'er's leg injury with your own eyes before admitting that Zhaoqing's attack is serious?!"

"The empress misunderstood the concubine's identity." Yun Fenghuang bowed on the seat, which seemed to respect the empress very much, but in fact her expression was still casual, "Zhaoqing and the third prince are still young, and the child Delicate and tender, if there is a slight bump, it will inevitably look terrible. The concubine has raised several imperial heirs, no matter how experienced or inexperienced, the empress do not have to worry too much. The third prince is lucky and has his own appearance. How can there be a big incident because of the fight with the imperial sister? I hope the empress can relax!"

What he said, it seemed that Zhaoqing and the third prince were just children fighting, instead of a sister beating up her younger brother unilaterally, or coming to care for her younger brother.

It even connoted that the queen didn't care enough about the heirs, and she didn't even know the delicate bones of a child at this age.

The queen was so angry that she spit out a mouthful of blood. She wanted to have an attack, but she was also afraid that it would affect Gu Fangshu who was about to return. Her face turned blue and uncertain for a while, and she gritted her teeth after a while and asked, "You came here today just to talk to me. Said these?"

"Of course not." Yun Fenghuang smiled and said softly, "The concubine came to propose something to the empress, that is, the palace has not been lively for a long time, and your majesty is busy with government affairs these days, so it's hard work... ..."

She found a lot of reasons, that is, to propose another palace banquet, um, the kind where the quasi-high officials bring a bunch of family members.

Gu Zhen frowned and said, "Hasn't the palace been lively for a long time? Has the palace lived in peace in the past two years! As for Your Majesty... because His Majesty is busy with government affairs, where is the time to attend such a palace banquet!"

In fact, the queen is not really opposed to the palace banquet just like that. After all, Jiantian stays in the palace, and there are only so many people and things going back and forth. It is also quite interesting to see new faces occasionally when it is lively.

The point is, the palace banquets since Chunjia came to power are simply poisonous.

So far, there has been basically no accident at any banquet, and even several festivals have been full of trouble.

Under such circumstances, Gu Zhen certainly felt that one thing more is worse than one thing less.

In particular, it was the imperial concubine who came to propose, saying that she really just felt bored and had no other calculations. The queen absolutely didn't believe it.

She couldn't think of the imperial concubine's plan for a while, so she simply refused to cooperate!

"Forget it, what your majesty said is also reasonable, so how about this, turn around and ask your majesty for instructions?" Yun Fenghuang said slowly, "If your majesty agrees, your majesty will have nothing to say?"

Gu Zhen was very tired of her way of relying on the emperor's favor to suppress her, but there was nothing she could do. After being silent for a while, she finally asked in a low voice: "Okay, why did you suddenly want to do this? Don't forget the previous summer banquet, How did the osmanthus banquet end?"

"One moment and another moment." Yun Fenghuang said, "We were not in charge at that time, so what can we do?"

This makes sense, Chunjia was not in charge during the summer banquet, and at that time it was the Ji family who had the final say, the regent followed, and the other important ministers again... Chunjia didn't know where he was lined up, Gu Zhen and Yunfeng At that time, Huang always stood in the corner as a wallflower.

As for the osmanthus appreciation feast, the two of them could be regarded as high-ranking and powerful in the harem at that time, but neither the loving mother empress dowager nor the holy mother empress dowager, nor the present empress dowager, were not easy-going lamps.

Gu Zhen frowned and said, "It's so hot, and it's not in Qishan now, so why bother for the momentary excitement?"

Yun Fenghuang thought for a while, and simply used Zhaoqing as a cover: "Chen Jing told my concubine that Prince Yixi has been very courteous to Zhaoqing recently, and my concubine has already ordered Yixi to do something recently and stop going to Zhaoqing again." Qing joins in!"

"...You bastard!" Gu Zhen was stunned, and then frowned in disgust. Her hatred of foreigners was even higher than that of Yun Fenghuang. Back then, she didn't like the princess that Rou Kun gave birth to Chunjia, let alone her. Talk about the pure Weihe Prince Yixi.

Even though she didn't like Princess Zhaoqing, she was still furious when she heard that Yixi had Zhaoqing's idea now, and even asked Yun Fenghuang, "Is the person you arranged right? Don't be too light-hearted. The palace knows best, but the skin is rough and the flesh is very thick. Don’t go back and raise it for two days, and then run over to provoke Zhaoqing. If the people in your place don’t take advantage of it, I will recommend two for you, both veterans of the Dingbei Army Born, the hands of the underworld are the most skilled!"

Yun Fenghuang thanked, and said: "I am going to let Marquis Yongchun take action, and I can also promote the bravery of the royal children."

He also said, "Besides, the concubine also wants to discuss with the empress. Is it inappropriate for the princess to continue studying with the princes when she grows up? Or, how about setting up a girls' school for the princes separately?"

Gu Zhen murmured: "That's the truth, I'll think about it later, let's go and raise it with His Majesty."

I was suspicious, "But what does this have to do with hosting a banquet?"

"It's not that Zhaoqing is still young, but the children of the family grow up very quickly." Yun Fenghuang showed a helpless look, "Because of this incident, I think of girls from ordinary families who are very young." At the age of one or two, the elders have to help look at them. But the concubine is not from a high-ranking family, and there are no elders outside to help find her. I don’t invite the empress to host a lot of banquets. If I have nothing to do, I will look at the children of the ministers’ families in this temple. Wait until the time comes to pick, who knows how many times those children have been told when they are led to the concubine, how can they tell the sincerity?"

"But it's too early." The queen was still skeptical, "You are attracted to it now, if you don't do well in the future, isn't it a waste of effort?"

Yun Fenghuang said: "Zhaoqing is the only daughter of this concubine, and this child has a very ill-fated life. Her legs... well, let's not talk about this, I really feel heartache when I think about it. Anyway, I don't ask for it. The key to making her a great son-in-law in the future is to treat her sincerely. But you know, your majesty, that Zhaoqing, as the eldest daughter of His Majesty, was born with gold and jade, and she is so beautiful. Apart from her legs, there is nothing lacking. Yes! You say this, those people outside, whether it is out of the idea of ​​gaining power or greed for beauty, who can not pretend to be 120,000 points enthusiastic? But how can we appreciate this?"

The queen who said this nodded her head slightly. Although she was not like the emperor, she felt that Yun Fenghuang was kind-hearted towards the children, but she also recognized that Yun Fenghuang was still very caring about the imperial heirs under her knees.

At this moment, after pondering for a moment, he said: "Forget it, then I will discuss it with my left and right, and then make a decision. After all, the palace banquet in the past... I was really scared."

Yun Fenghuang knew that she would not be able to listen to his one-sided words, and would have to investigate to be at ease, so she didn't bother, said a few polite words, and left.

After she left, everyone advised the queen to ignore the concubine.

After all, noble concubines are famous for their scheming, and their real intentions are definitely not what they said on the scene: "Now that the two empress dowagers have left the palace, the empress dowager doesn't care about anything. If something happens at the palace banquet, it doesn't matter who did it, it will be inevitable." It's the empress who bears the brunt of it... At that time, the noble concubine will fall into trouble if she can't say it! Besides, the uncle is coming back soon. Now that the noble concubine is saying this, who knows what the real plan is? Maybe it's collusion with someone to murder the entire Gu family? ?”

Gu Zhen was almost persuaded by them, but the matter spread to the ears of Mrs. Gu outside the palace the next day. After Mrs. Gu discussed it, she asked Mrs. Zhao Wubo to submit a post asking for an interview.
