Chapter 146: Coercion and Temptation

Unexpectedly, the Empress Dowager politely declined Yun Fenghuan's request to see.

Empress Dowager Ji didn't refuse, but her attitude was very cold, and Yun Fenghuan brought the topic to the concubines of Jin, so she excused herself to let Yun Fenghuan leave.

"The mourning family wants to help you, but the mourning family has never done these things." The last Empress Dowager Qu wanted to help very much, but she was a concubine of the palace before, and she was the kind of concubine who accidentally slept with King Fuyang Duan and became pregnant, and her background can be imagined. Now that she is the queen mother, she is just an empty name, and when it comes to the experience of presiding over the middle feed and taking care of palace affairs, it is not as good as Yunfenghuang.

Empress Dowager Qu racked her brains, and finally said, "Why don't you ask Sister Yuan, or Your Majesty?" ”

"Don't worry, Niangniang, it's just a matter of concubines, where is it worth asking you to ask the Empress Dowager and Your Majesty personally?" Yun Fenghuan hurriedly dissuaded, "The concubine came here today to see you." ”

She didn't expect anything from the Empress Dowager Qu at all, but the Empress Dowager has been sending her vegetarian meals these days, and now the Empress Dowager, Empress Dowager Ji, and Empress Dowager Yuan have all gone there, and it is not good to leave the Empress Dowager Qu.

So I accompanied the Empress Dowager Qu and said some common words, and then retired.

On the way back to the Lanzhou Night Rain Pavilion, Qingdu said to the Qing people sadly: "Niangniang, now those who can guide us in this palace refuse to speak, and if they do, they can't instruct, but what should we do?" ”

"Who said that whoever can guide us won't speak?" Yun Fenghuang smiled when he heard this, and said, "Isn't this just to say hello to the elders?" ”

Qingdu and Qingren glanced at each other, and they were quite puzzled.

But Yun Fenghuan didn't mean to explain to them on the way, and when he returned to the Lanzhou Night Rain Pavilion, he asked Zhu Cao to go to the Spring Courtyard and invited Cui Jieyu over.

What she said was "please", and Zhu Cao arrived at the Spring Drinking Courtyard, and her attitude was quite respectful.

However, where are the people in the Chunyu Courtyard willing to believe, and they have persuaded Cui Lian to pretend to be sick at night, or refuse politely, anyway, don't go to see the real concubine, who knows if the real concubine wants to kill them all?

"This palace doesn't believe that this cheap maid has only been in the palace for a few days, and she really thinks that she can cover the sky with one hand in these six palaces?!" Cui Lianye was angry in her heart, when she was a concubine, Yun Fenghuan was the highest and was Jieyu, but how long has it been, she was demoted to Jieyu, Yun Fenghuan was a real concubine, and now she sent a second-class palace maid to pass a word, she has to go to the audience, and the real feng shui takes turns.

According to the temper, it will not go this way anyway.

But the fact is that Yun Fenghuan is now above her, and she is ordered to summon her, and if she doesn't go, it is against the palace rules.

This new real concubine is recognized as being unreasonable and has to stir up three points, let alone in a situation where she is justified?

I'm afraid that Cui Lianye will dare to find an excuse to refuse to go, and if she turns around, she will dare to burn the fire on Cui Wan's head!

Thinking about the recent news from the family, the situation of the old father in the temple, Cui Lianye's face changed for a moment, and finally got up with a sneer, "Even if the Lanzhou Night Rain Pavilion is the Longtan Tiger's Den, is it still afraid of this palace?!" ”

ordered to dress up for himself and go with Zhu Cao.

"Sister Cui." After a while, the second concubine sat down in the main hall of the Lanzhou Night Rain Pavilion, Yun Fenghuang seemed to have no mustard between the two, and ordered someone to serve tea with a smile, and a pretended affectionate "sister" made Cui Lianye's eyelids jump, "I won't tell you, I invited my sister to come today, I have something to ask for advice." ”

Yun Fenghuang directly talked about the promotion of the concubines, "...... The queen mother had agreed, but unfortunately, she fell ill in this eye, so she ordered the palace to preside over the matter on her behalf. Bengong thought, Bengong is young and knowledgeable, and this kind of thing involves the sisters in the palace, so it is better to invite the younger sister to discuss it together. ”

"The real concubine is serious." Cui Lianye said indifferently, "Niangniang is smart and smart, and the six palaces know it!" Just a concubine is promoted, how can it be rare to fall the mother, right? But why bother to blame the concubine? ”

Yun Fenghuan's smile remained unchanged: "I have heard Sister Cui Gao Jie for a long time, since this is the case." ”

She turned her head to Qingdu and said, "Then cross out Cui Jieyu, so as not to wait for this palace."

The laity has defiled Sister Cui's purity. ”

"......" Cui Lianye's face was pale, she could be noble and pure, and she could not care about promotion, but Cui's was not.

When the concubines of the six palaces were promoted, Cui Lianye was left behind, knowing that she had hated the real concubine who was being favored, but I didn't know, I thought that the emperor had no patience for the Cui family, and even the Cui concubines in the harem were openly snubbed!

When the time comes, that starter will be accustomed to stepping on the master who bows low and worships high, and can he still fight the Cui family in the well? !

"Mother, don't do that." Hearing this, Qingdu did not immediately agree, but persuaded softly, "Maybe Cui Jieyu is just humble?" After all, this promotion is to pray for the blessing of the Empress Dowager of the Mother, and Cui Jieyu is not such an unrighteous and unfilial person, how can she ignore the health of the Empress Dowager of the Mother? ”

The implication is that if Cui Lianye dares to refuse, it will be unrighteous and unfilial, and he will disregard the health of the Queen Mother and the Queen Mother!

“…… Unknown True Concubine...... What does the mother command? Cui Lianye was silent for a while, with a look of humiliation between her eyebrows, but she still compromised and asked in a low voice.

Yun Fenghuang said with a smile: "Sister Cui was born in everyone, and she has been in the palace for many years, so the things, rules, and old rules in the palace should be very clear, right?" ”

Without waiting for Cui Lianye to answer, she pointed to the Qingdu Qingren beside her, "Although these two people in this palace are sensible and considerate, they haven't been in the palace for a long time, and they have no experience. So, please ask Sister Cui to help and point them out? ”

…… On the way back to the Spring Brewery on this day, Cui Lianye's attendant was angry: "The real concubine is so rampant!" It's just a matter of forcing Niangniang to teach, and she doesn't even bother to learn herself, and only teaches Niangniang to teach the two palace maids! ”

In the eyes of the attendants, this is clearly a deliberate humiliation of their master!

"What do you know?" However, Cui Lianye didn't have any anger on her face at this time, she said calmly, "Since the real concubine gave the queen a hand, this is the first time that she has taken charge alone. The real concubine is young and not high-born, she has never been involved in such a thing before, how can a person take care of it? Naturally, we should take this opportunity to cultivate the people around us...... As for herself, it's not that she's lazy, but she has to free up her hands to do other things. ”

Now the low-level palace concubines may still be confused, but the concubines all know that although the one sitting on the phoenix seat is still the Ji family, there are not many days left.

After the next position, Zheng Guifei thought, Yun Fenghuang thought, and the others ...... Who wouldn't?

It's just that some people don't feel that hope, and they stop thinking early, such as Wei Hengyan; Some people are still struggling to weigh ......

In short, at present, there is an advantage on the surface, which is naturally Yunfenghuan.

So this time the concubine was promoted, how much she wanted to do it beautifully, and those who were eyeing the successor wanted to give her a disgraced face!

Cui Lianye thought for a while, and instructed the attendants: "Look at the other people, and see if the real concubine will invite others to the Lanzhou Night Rain Pavilion?" ”

That's for sure, of course.

In Yun Fenghuang's plan, although Wei Hengyan and Yi Xingen and others will be right-hand men, the concubines who entered the palace at the emperor's wedding cannot all give up.

First, although these people are not allowed to be seen by the emperor and the Empress Dowager Yuan, they are from excellent backgrounds, and their own knowledge, talents, and family background are very worthy of holding in their hands; Second, because they were not treated by Empress Dowager Yuan's mother and son, Yun Fenghuang felt that they should stay.

After all, to let these people who will never be treated by Chunjia sincerely occupy a high position, how can it be better than letting the later goblins sit on an equal footing with themselves, right?

Therefore, after forcing Cui Lianye to help her teach Qingdu Qingren, she changed the venue with her feet, and asked people to invite Lu Jieyu and Jia Jieyu to come one after another, and stuffed Qingxu Qinghan's Dancao and Red Calyx over.

"The queen mother personally agreed to be sealed for the six palaces this time." Lu Jieyu and Jia Jieyu's attitude is much better than Cui Lianye's, mainly because they have been wandering in the Jieyu position since they entered the palace, when Yunfeng Huang was still Jieyu, they gave them color, and now that they have been promoted to true concubines, they are even more afraid to make mistakes.

Therefore, Yun Fenghuang lost their face this time,

also comforted Yan Yuese, "It's just that the specific Jin Feng hasn't been discussed yet, and the queen mother fell ill." The palace asked the empress dowager and the three empress dowagers to ask for peace before, and the empress dowager and the three empress dowagers meant that since the queen mother had agreed, then the matter would be decided by the palace. ”

"The promotion of the six palaces together is to pray for the health and well-being of the Queen Mother."

"But the two younger sisters are extra busy, if they are also treated with those who don't work, the sisters are tolerant and don't say anything, and the palace also feels uneasy."

This is clearly telling Lu Jieyu Jia Jieyu that she should work hard, and she will have preferential treatment when she returns to the throne.

Otherwise, the promotion was raised by Yun Fenghuang, and if she can bring it up, she can press it!

Lu Jieyu and Jia Jieyu didn't care what they thought in their hearts, but they cooperated more and more with Yun Fenghuang's operation on the scene and reached the ears of the Empress Dowager Yuan, who sighed and said, "The Jiang family is very good at teaching their daughters." ”

"It is said that the concubine's sister is also brought up by her mother-in-law, and she is like her own daughter, there is no difference." Dipping Liu comforted her tactfully, "It's not that you have been ruined, and even the real concubine has been implicated?" The maid felt that this was the real concubine Niangniang's own wisdom and could listen to persuasion. Otherwise, no matter how hard the Jiang clan is, I am afraid that it will be beyond the reach of the whip. ”

She was actually very depressed in her heart, if it weren't for Yuan Neem Niang's disobedience, it should be Yuan Neem Niang who proposed to promote the six palaces at this time, and the Chunjia harem was not much compared to the emperor of the previous dynasty, and there was a legitimate reason to fill the palace room with emptiness under her knees. The positions of the concubines have long come to the time when they need to move on a large scale.

If Yuan Neem Niang was more sensible, she couldn't think of it, and the Empress Dowager Yuan would also remind her.

Helplessly, this master couldn't help him, and the master and servant of the Empress Dowager Yuan could only watch Yun Fenghuang take the opportunity to change his bad reputation such as being ruthless and narrow-minded, and the next strategy was to change his mind and make a good person like dough from now on, and he couldn't fight back and scolded; The middle strategy is the subtle and imperceptible of the slow map; However, the best policy is to share common interests.

In the Ming Dynasty in history, some people killed their fathers and killed their brothers and sisters-in-law, some were ungrateful and changed the dynasty to usurp the throne, and some people cooked their uncles and slaughtered their brothers and killed their siblings...... However, because of the good governance of the country and the creation of a prosperous era, he finally fell into the evaluation of a wise king.

Is it that the world can't remember the dirty things they did?

No, it's just that compared to those dirty things, they bring more benefits to the people of the world, so they are Mingjun.

Yun Fenghuang is doing this now, because of her performance since she entered the palace, the previous dynasty knew that this real concubine was a ruthless person, but this time the six palaces were promoted together, and everyone got benefits, even if it was impossible for everyone to thank her from the bottom of their hearts, they would have to say a few good words about her in the future.

In addition, under the guise of being a loving mother, the Queen Mother, and the phoenix body is healthy, and the foreign court can't help but say a word of filial piety to her.

This is comparable to Yuan Neem Niang's belief that it is a change. The son is much more clever in "being low-lying and small", and he can also kill two birds with one stone, publicize his momentum, and better compete for power with the queen.

The truth is clear to the Empress Dowager Yuan's master and servant, but who told Yuan Neem to be angry?

can only watch other people's children seize the opportunity to ride the wind.

Empress Dowager Yuan felt congested and sighed: "That's it, since the real concubine has done it, don't come to tell me about this matter first." The mourners on the left and right are also impatient to listen to these trivialities. ”

After saying this, he remembered something again, "By the way, where is the concubine?" ”

This time, Yun Fenghuang proposed to be promoted, and took the lead in saying that she would be excluded, this is because first, she has just jumped two levels, and second, she has to say that this move is purely out of filial piety to the Empress Dowager Yuan and not for her own welfare. But there is another person she didn't mention, but it is impossible to be promoted by default, that is, Zheng Guifei.

It's impossible for Empress Ji to step down and make way for her now?

So according to the unspoken rules, Concubine Zheng should take the initiative to refuse.

And Zheng Guifei did exactly that.

However, it is impossible to say that if she brought it up, she really didn't give her anything.

Empress Dowager Yuan became interested and asked, "How does the real concubine plan to compensate the concubine?" ”
