Treacherous Living in the Imperial Harem

Chapter 351: The Disadvantaged Empress Dowager Yuan

Yun Fenghuang turned his head and asked someone to check the activities of the Empress Dowager in the past two days. The key point was who had the people under his command been in contact with?

It turned out that the empress dowager had lived in seclusion for the past two years, and her contacts were nothing more than three granddaughters.

"His Royal Highness Yun'an will send people into the palace to greet him every day because of Princess Jinxi." Chen Jing softly reported, "As for His Royal Highness Ming Hui... the Empress Dowager will send people to visit every now and then. "

Here you can see the gap between the concubine and the concubine, both are the granddaughters of the empress dowager.

But even if it was for Jin Xi, Yun An took the initiative to greet his grandmother. As for Ming Hui, the Empress Dowager frequently cared about her.

"It's been a long time since I heard about His Royal Highness Minghui, but I don't know how she is now?" Yun Fenghuang thought of it and asked casually.

"His Royal Highness and His Royal Highness have been arguing since they got married. There was a big quarrel earlier, and they haven't talked much so far." Chen Jing narrowed her eyes slightly, and said, "These days, it is said that the Royal Highness and the Royal Highness live in separate rooms. We met each other by chance. , but also turning a blind eye... The Empress Dowager probably heard about this and couldn't let it go, so she frequently sent people to persuade His Highness not to always make things difficult for the son-in-law."

Yun Fenghuang smiled, and said: "Minghui is a golden branch and jade leaf after all, since he was a child, he was a little bit arrogant. But I don't know, why doesn't the son-in-law give in?"

Chen Jing smiled wryly and said, "Although Your Highness is honorable, but...after all, you have to give the son-in-law some face, right? Besides, the son-in-law is also in trouble. Your highness is disrespectful to Weng Gu. What do you call this a son-in-law?" What to do? You can’t really break off your relationship with your biological parents for His Highness’s sake?”

Yun Fenghuang didn't find it strange that Minghui made troubles, but as for falling out with his in-laws, it was a trivial matter.

In the past, the imperial concubine must have gloated, but now she couldn't laugh at it, because she thought of her current situation, and compared to the grandparents and grandchildren of the Ji family, she seemed to be no better.

People outside thought that Ming Hui was ignorant, and that she was a little stupid for being the first emperor's daughter in vain... She played a good deck of cards to the current situation.

But from Yun Fenghuang's point of view, Minghui's behavior is actually understandable.

The noble and only daughter of the first emperor, under the protection of her mother, she grew up innocently and happily until she was a teenager. The kind who lost her mother and ruined her reputation; It's gone too, the kind of feigning death to get away, full of hatred and each other at the end of the world... how many people can bear it?

Normal people would think of revenge in this situation, revenge. Minghui is no exception, but she doesn't understand anything, Ji Sheng's love makes her not need to be scheming, not everyone can quickly learn to calculate and forbear in sudden changes.

So she can only make trouble on instinct.

As a result, it happened to be used by people with ulterior motives.

Then the anger and hatred in Minghui's heart became more intense.

Then she became more and more restless.

Yun Fenghuang kind of understood that the first emperor Xiaozong died in depression, and the first emperor Kekeng was in the same mood as Minghui is now.

Obviously the world should belong to him, but in the end, he listened to Ji's decision in everything.

Minghui's mother and daughter, as the orphans and widows left behind by the first emperor, deserved to be respected and treated by the emperor, but in the end Chunjia forced her mother to death, killed the person she admired, and decided her marriage. Praising Ming Jun's posture... Who can bear it?

She didn't die in depression like Xiaozong, she was already young enough to hold on.

It can only last for a while.

"Father and daughter, as expected of father and daughter, they are really alike!" Yun Fenghuang sighed, they were wronged by the same situation, they also lacked the same means, and they didn't know how to use their identities correctly when they had nothing.

She thought for a while, and said slowly, "Pay attention to the residence of the two Highnesses, I am thinking, if the Empress Dowager was persuaded to coax Xiaoqi over...it is probably with these two Inseparable from the relationship."

"Then empress, do we want to tell His Royal Highness the Seventh Prince in private?" Chen Jing agreed, and asked slowly, "Although His Royal Highness the Seventh Prince must be towards the empress in his heart, he is still young, so he may often go to Taihuang At the Queen Mother's side, I heard some ups and downs..."

Yun Fenghuang nodded and said: "It should be. It's just that the child is young now, so it doesn't need to be complicated. Just let him understand the distance. Also, tell Yin Qu about this later, and test Yin Qu Qu's attitude."

Yin Qu really valued the Seventh Prince, and quickly replied after receiving the news, solemnly stating that this matter has nothing to do with him, and he will also arrange for someone to find out what's going on?

The implication is that he has no intention of following Ouyang's example and throwing away the imperial concubine, so the imperial concubine must not bother his grandson.

"It's different for a child who is protected by someone." Yun Fenghuang laughed dumbfounded after receiving the reply, and said, "Forget it, in the future, let Xiao Qi come to Ben Gong more often."

Not only did it show Yin Qu to prove that he did not treat his grandson badly, but it was also a precautionary measure, lest the child he raised would end up taking advantage of the empress dowager.

After dealing with these trivial matters, she thought about the turmoil in Fuyang County again.

At this moment, all the masters of the harem knew what the Empress Dowager Qu had done, and none of them were surprised.

Even Yun Fenghuang, the instigator, was surprised.

At this moment, he waved back to the left and right, and then asked in a low voice: "Is there any new news from Fuyang County?"

"Not for the time being, but I heard that there were rumors in the previous dynasty that the Holy Mother and the Empress Dowager would never do such a thing, and it was probably someone impostor!" Chen Jing whispered, "They still Discussing whether the real Empress Dowager is sick or something?"

"Could it be possible that someone still dares to suggest that the Holy Mother Empress Dowager die?" Yun Fenghuang smiled disdainfully. This is the benefit of being the emperor's mother. Showing the slightest killing intent, she even had to protect her food and clothing in her later years.

Because this is the birth mother of the Son of Heaven.

Even the Son of Heaven himself, Chun Jia was not close to Empress Dowager Qu at first, but after such a thing, she was probably bored and even disgusted.

However……

It is also impossible for him to express his position in front of his courtiers, saying that he does not want this mother-in-law anymore, and you can deal with the aftermath as you like.

This is not acceptable, even he is not good at privately arranging someone to deal with Queen Mother Qu.

After all, it's not worth it.

Empress Dowager Qu was only causing trouble for him, not to put him to death or to shake his throne, so there was no need for Chunjia to bear the reputation of killing his mother.

If this is a concubine, or someone else's mother, Chunjia probably wouldn't hesitate.

"Of course no one has the guts." Chen Jing also smiled and said, "It's just that some people say that if it's really the Queen Mother, it's probably a violation of the phoenix's body. It's not out of intention. It's just that most people still prefer, That's the impersonated Queen Mother."

After all, sitting in the street and arguing for a face-to-face with the loving mother, the Empress Dowager...

Even after being crazy, it is really criticized.

The best option is to directly deny that person is Queen Mother Qu.

Yun Fenghuang pondered for a while, and said: "Did someone mention the loving mother Empress Dowager?"

"Yes, there are many of them." Chen Jing said with a smile, "And...all of them are, uh, annoying."

"How could it be?" Yun Fenghuang narrowed his eyes, "That is His Majesty's adoptive mother after all, but she is the most respected elder by His Majesty."

Chen Jing whispered: "Your Majesty, you don't know, what the Yuan family did before made the courtiers very unhappy. After all, the life experience of the Eighth Prince... I don't know outside, who in this temple is still Don't know? The courtiers used to respect her upbringing and support to His Majesty, but in the end, they are loyal to His Majesty, right? They have done things like confusing bloodlines, and that one has always favored Yuan's daughter, you Say, if the courtiers look at her again, how can they respect her?"

"This time, although the Queen Mother's actions were quite shocking, the government and the public were a little caught off guard..."

"However, many people also think that if it weren't for the kind mother Empress Dowager who is narrow-minded and can't tolerate others, there is really no way to call the Holy Mother Empress Dowager. The majestic Empress Dowager, the birth mother of the Son of Heaven, why would she kill one thousand enemies and lose eight hundred?"

"After all, the Empress Dowager Mother has always been low-key, but she has never caused trouble in the previous dynasty... Especially the report from Fuyang County, the meaning behind the words is that the Empress Dowager Mother is harsh on the Empress Dowager Mother, The empress dowager of the church is not even as good as the concubine who is not favored by ordinary people, this...you say those grown-ups, how can they still think that the empress dowager is a virtuous mother?"

Yun Fenghuang smiled and said: "Those people who have three wives and four concubines themselves, what they love most is the harmony between their wives and concubines in the backyard, and they love each other. Anyone who makes troubles, they will feel unvirtuous and unvirtuous... Even if it is The majestic empress dowager can't escape their arrangements."

Empress Dowager Qu's move was just right.

Her yelling in the street was like smashing Gongxiang's face.

But as the emperor's own mother, this is the first time she has caused trouble, and it's not without reason, but because she can't be forced, and she does it for survival.

No matter how unhappy the courtiers were, they couldn't say they wanted her to die because of her blood relationship with the emperor. They had to deal with the aftermath and continue to feed her with good food and drink. It was still the kind of support that guaranteed that she would not be ruled by the Queen Mother Yuan again. .

With a little more guidance, at least half of the anger and disgust will go towards Queen Mother Yuan.

Because it was created by Queen Mother Yuan.

It must be known that Empress Dowager Qu has always been low-key and has no sense of presence, unlike Queen Mother Yuan, who has been painting for many years as a virtuous and capable person who loves the emperor.

After Yuan's dark history of confusing bloodlines, the government and the public have already shaken their trust in her. This incident will inevitably make people feel that the loving mother Empress Dowager is really good at pretending, and her nature is not like that at all.

"The Holy Mother Empress Dowager will definitely be able to pass the test smoothly this time." Yun Fenghuang pondered for a moment, then said slowly, "It's just...the loving mother Empress Dowager will not be defeated, after all, Your Majesty still has affection for her. The problem is, this crime should be pinned on the empress, but we still have to continue to deliberate, we must not let Mrs. Gu pass the test easily!"

But at this moment, in Fuyang County, Empress Dowager Yuan's face was gloomy: "The Ai family must suffer a loss this time! However, the Ai family cannot bear this loss for nothing!"

She turned her head and asked Zhanliu, "What's the situation in Dijing now?"
