Chapter 10: The Death of the Concubine (Part II)
"Since I was in power, the Ji family has been getting worse and worse." At this time, the imperial concubine had finished bathing, because she was going to be placed, outside the white plain patterned middle robe, only the outer robe was loosely draped, and the wide-sleeved robe with a lotus pattern on the ultramarine background lined Chunjia's complexion became more and more radiant, and his starry eyes were shining under the lamplight, and he said softly, "At that time, the concubine was still planning to stabilize her position after sealing the concubine, but some people were already eyeing the position of the middle palace." ”
Yun Fenghuang immediately understood: "With the door of the Yiguo Mansion, with the loyalty of the Yiguo Duke to His Majesty, and with the status of Concubine Shu in the palace, once the middle palace is lost, if it is not for the early death of Concubine Shuhua, it will be the indisputable candidate for succession?" ”
Chunjia said lightly: "Concubine Shu entered the palace when I got married, and I have been with me for nearly ten years. She will choose to commit suicide, she must have a status equal to the Wing Country Mansion, and even make her think that the Wing Kingdom Mansion cannot resist the intervention. ”
"Not long after that incident, it seems that Cui's was demoted?" Yun Fenghuang thought for a while and said, "At that time, the concubine felt very strange, because although the Cui family is not troublesome, it is not easy to bully. After being demoted on a very untenable reason, he didn't object much...... Don't? ”
"It's hard to say." Chunjia said lazily, "Now it's not time to get to the bottom of these people and things, and I can only grieve Yiguo Gong...... Therefore, you should pay more attention to the affairs of the eldest prince, otherwise although the Duke of Yiguo is loyal, there are few people outside who have wronged the old minister. ”
Yun Fenghuang said: "The left and right concubines are now back in charge of palace affairs, and it is also convenient to summon foreign women occasionally." Even so, in the future, the concubine often invites the Duchess of Yiguo to enter the palace to see the little prince. ”
Therefore, if the Duchess of Yiguo wants to see her cheap grandson often, she must support her well, after all, if she loses the palace power, no one will call the Han family to take care of the heir for her own daughter.
Chunjia didn't care about her careful thoughts, after all, this was originally his acquiescence, so he only smiled and asked, "Can the vinegar jar be put away?" ”
"Your Majesty." Yun Fenghuang blinked, suddenly leaned over to him, carefully looked at Chunjia's expression, and asked with a smile, "The concubine has always been a little curious...... Concubine Shu is both talented and beautiful, virtuous and gentle, she is not only a loyal minister, but also has been with His Majesty for many years, why ...... After the death of Concubine Shu, His Majesty does not seem to be particularly sad? ”
That's a question she'd wanted to ask for a long time!
It's not just jealous, but I always feel that Chunjia's attitude towards the Yun family is a little weird.
The loyalty of the Duke of Yi Guo was recognized, and judging by the emperor's speech and demeanor, he also recognized the loyalty of this important minister to him.
So it is reasonable, for the two biological daughters of Yi Guogong, he should also be extra favorable, right?
However, when Concubine Shu was there, although she was a concubine that Chunjia valued, she was young and gone, and she didn't see Chunjia angry with her...... Even if she wasn't forced to death by Yun Fenghuan, if she had some true feelings for Concubine Shu, how could she turn around and fall in love with the person who was against Concubine Shu at the time?
As for Shun Jieyu, since she entered the palace, she hasn't been taken much by Chunjia......
Chunjia did this, even if he was sure of the loyalty of the prince of Yiguo, thinking that he would not create a gap for the treatment of his two daughters in the palace. Don't take into account the opinions of other people, so that they are worried that the emperor is ruthless and unjust, and he will not be able to be kind to his wife and daughter?
"......" Chunjia was silent for a while before smiling slightly, "Back then, I was only set up by the Ji family, and when I had not yet arrived in the imperial capital and was still on the way, I knew that I could not always be at the mercy of others. ”
Yun Fenghuang was stunned, and he didn't come back to his senses for a while, so he continued, "Cui's idea is right. ”
After saying this, he seemed to lose interest in continuing the topic, stretched out his arm around Yun Fenghuang's waist, lowered his head and kissed it.
The tent is smoked with cicada and silkworm incense, and the fragrance is full of coldness, like Chunjia's actions at the moment, with restrained domineering, lingering between the necks, and pushing her to the top of the brocade quilt, embroidered on the stone blue bottom, and the lotus mandarin duck playing in the water quilt is filtered by the tent, looking at the deep swamp, the long hair of the two is scattered among them, like algae blooming from the swamp.
More and more cloudy
Huang Xue's skin and red lips are a strange and vivid beauty, and the eyes that look up at Chunjia between the entanglements of limbs are shining, delicate and innocent.
Chunjia stared for a moment, and then was a little more arbitrary.
…… When the imperial concubine lingered, Hansu Palace, Taoli Palace, and Ouyang Fulu were personally making tea for the three concubines who came together.
It's just that Luo Hanyi and the three of them didn't appreciate it, and said with a cold face: "I'm afraid I can't afford such a courtesy as Concubine Rui." ”
"Sister Ruifei is now a big celebrity in front of the real concubine!" The outspoken Meng Youyi also added a special sentence, "Who doesn't know how powerful the real concubine is?" is also deeply satisfied, and now he has the eldest son and eldest daughter of the emperor under his knees...... Where do we dare to let my sister personally serve us tea and water? ”
Ouyang Fulu looked helpless: "I knew that you would definitely blame me, but since you came, you are obviously willing to listen to my explanation?" ”
Meng Youyi said angrily: "What is there to explain this? I've inquired, now there are few people in the government and the opposition who can replace Ouyang, with His Majesty's likes and dislikes for these people, as long as the Ouyang family doesn't do anything out of the ordinary, the boss's recovery is inevitable Sister is not at ease, if we have to please the real concubine, what can we do? ”
"Pleasing the real concubine?" Ouyang Fuxu sighed and said, "Is she also worthy?" ”
It is not very pretentious, but the contempt in it is natural.
Luo Hanyi, Meng Youyi, and Yin Qian glanced at each other, their faces eased, and Luo Hanyi said in a deep voice: "Since Sister Ouyang said so, why did she recommend her to regain control of the palace in front of the Empress Dowager?" We've been waiting for you to explain since you said that day, but you didn't mean it at all. If you hadn't been walking around the Huanhua Palace, we would all have thought that you had made up your mind and reciprocated with the grace of dripping water! ”
Hearing her change her title, Ouyang Fu didn't show it on his face, but he smiled secretly in his heart, and said slowly: "First of all, even if I don't mention it, the Empress Dowager or Your Majesty, the real concubine will be in charge of the palace again in the next two days." After all, the punishment given by the Empress Dowager has expired, and the second is ......"
She looked around at the three concubines who resembled her background, "Your Majesty is young, but he is extremely wise. ”
If this is said to a concubine from a humble background, it may not be understandable.
But Luo Hanyi's three people were carefully cultivated by their respective families, and they had always been smart, but they immediately understood: "Yes, although Your Majesty is young, he is very wise. ”
Therefore, Chunjia will not fail to learn the lessons of the three generations of Feng masters of the Ji family, so that the concubines from the family will dominate the family in the palace.
It is logical to support a concubine from a poor family like Concubine Zhen to check and balance, no matter how bad it is, it is also involved.
"But you can't afford to mention it yourself, sister!" Meng Youyi had a particularly bad impression of the real concubine because she had been punished by Yun Fenghuan, and she was still unwilling at the moment, muttering, "Before Your Majesty wanted to come to you, she used her means to stay in the Huanhua Palace, and she also pleaded with Your Majesty to let you recognize people's feelings...... This will make you take the initiative to say this again, I don't know, I thought that we people were afraid of the real concubine! ”
Ouyang Fulu said calmly: "Sister Meng, I know that you are wronged. Speaking of which, Sister Yin and I, aren't we wronged? But do you think, what we can't stop can't stop, what don't you do in exchange for some benefits? Let's not mention this matter, the real concubine also has to divide power; Let's mention it, after all, it seems generous, in front of the Queen Mother and Her Majesty, even if it is not considered virtuous and virtuous, at least to gain a general impression, right? ”
"The advantage of the real concubine over us is nothing more than the advanced palace, whether it is with the Queen Mother or Your Majesty, there is already some affection."
"This is also the biggest reliance on her current position in the palace."
"Otherwise, there are no fewer concubines from a poor family in the palace, why can she only block us?"
"So what we have to do now is to level out as much as possible without making mistakes, and even erase her dependence."
Speaking of this, she looked at Luo Hanyi, "And it's not just that!" ”
Luo Hanyi groaned: "What else? ”
"Also, when we deal with palace affairs in the past few days, my sister has overturned the previous practice." Ouyang Fuxu said softly, "It can be seen that my sister's meaning is to do it."
Quickly remove the traces of the Ji family, right? ”
"Indeed." Luo Hanyi said, "So I don't approve of your proposal that the real concubine regain the power of the palace, it's not that I love power, but the true concubine's temperament we have all heard of, if she is still punished and not allowed to take care of things, maybe she won't stand idly by; Not to mention that now, like you and me, we are all rightfully taking care of the six palaces? Next, she's going to be preoccupied with me. ”
She said lightly, "Although I may not be afraid of her, I didn't plan to conflict with her so soon." In the end, it is the most important thing to conform to His Majesty's will and change the charter set by the three generations of the Ji family. ”
Although she did not directly accuse Ouyang Fuxu, the meaning of her words was to suspect that she was using the real concubine to disrupt her plan.
"Sister, it's because of this that I can't let the real concubine rest." Ouyang Fuxu said, "Otherwise, she will stay in Xuanqing Palace by herself, but let the people below go against you, and when the time comes, there will be no evidence, and Your Majesty will be biased again, you just want to have a seizure, and it is not good to have a seizure!" Wouldn't that cheapen her? Simply let her come out to deal with things with us, so if something goes wrong, no one wants to run away, if she can't get along with us again, it is impossible to leave everything away like when she was grounded. ”
"The most important thing is ......"
She sneered slightly, "Do you remember what the Empress Dowager said? Let the real concubine, don't neglect to take care of the imperial heir without taking care of the palace affairs...... In her palace, there are the eldest son and the eldest daughter of the emperor! ”
Luo Hanyi was taken aback and said, "...... are you going to them?" ”
"I don't have the courage to murder the emperor." Ouyang Fuxu waved his hand, "It's just that children are already delicate, and the real concubine pretends to be a loving mother, in fact, if she really cherishes the emperor's heir, how can she be distracted by this eye?" The Empress Dowager and Her Majesty are both discerning, she actually took over the palace affairs seriously this time, so no matter whether the imperial heir will go wrong in the future, you say, the Empress Dowager and Your Majesty, how can you not be a little bored with her in your heart? ”
Meng Youyi muttered: "But Your Majesty hasn't often gone to the Huanhua Hall in the past two days?" I'll just rest there today! ”
Ouyang Fulu said with a smile: "Your Majesty's son and daughter are also there, especially the little prince, which is recorded in the name of Concubine Shu, and I don't need to talk about the relationship between Concubine Shu and Your Majesty?" We have just entered the palace, and we have never given birth, even if Your Majesty trusts us, he will definitely not be able to hand over the little prince to us to raise. Now, apart from the real concubine, who else can make His Majesty's adoptive mother trust? For this reason, can His Majesty tolerate her a little? ”
The three people who said this all bowed their heads and pondered, and after a moment, Luo Hanyi slowly exhaled and said, "Okay, we know that you don't have any malicious intentions in this move, but when you do this in the future, you can talk to us, right?" Look at what happened this time, everyone's hearts are all up and down, but we have been sisters for many years, but there is no such honesty! ”
"Sister, I would like to, but you also know that my family has been ...... since my grandfather was demoted" Ouyang Fuxu showed a helpless look, "Although the number of people who marry into the palace is the same, there are not many people who use the top." This is not, I am afraid that the news will leak out, so that the real concubine will be suspicious, and when the time comes, I will refuse in front of the Queen Mother, and let His Majesty or the Queen Mother send a message to let her come out to preside over the palace affairs, isn't that purely to carry a sedan chair for her? ”
If she did, would she be the one who was in charge of the rhythm of the conversation?
Luo Hanyi glanced at her deeply: "That's right, then that's it, the real concubine is not a fuel-efficient lamp, and next, we should not take it lightly." ”
careless, I didn't expect Ouyang Fuxu to start competing with himself so soon...... Also, Ouyang Yanran is about to return to the court, and when the time comes, the Ouyang clan, which has been declining over the years, will definitely revitalize the court, Ouyang Fusu, doesn't he also want to rise in the harem?
However, Luo Hanyi took the overall situation into account after all, although he saw through Ouyang Fuxu's intention to suppress his position as the leader in the small group this time, he did not expose it.
After all, the real concubine has not been removed, and the middle palace is still there, if the four of them are sisters now, they will tear it apart...... That's a joke.
"Mother, is it really good to do this?" Half an hour later, taking advantage of the night to send the three of them away, the humble book asked Ouyang Fuxu worriedly, "The old lady is about to return to the court, and there is a gap with the three mothers on this eye...... Will it affect the old lady? ”
