Of course, Yun Fenghuang will not admit that this is her responsibility, after all, although she planned to let people set fire to it last night, she was taken first, right?

So at this time, she retorted confidently that this had nothing to do with herself, and the main responsibility should lie with Shanyuanguan: "The concubine heard that it was the night vigil Daogu who accidentally fell asleep, and asked the tanuki to sneak into the side hall and overturn the fire candle!" This is just an ordinary Taoist temple, after all, who can be without fault if people are not saints and sages? But the Empress Dowager, please think, what is the place of Shanyuanguan? Who live now? But he is still so careless, it can be seen that he doesn't care about your safety at all, the Queen Mother! Judging from the concubine's body, not only should the Empress Dowager return to the palace immediately to avoid such dangers, but the Taoist temple here should be arrested and imprisoned, and tortured for you to suppress the shock! ”

But the Empress Dowager just wanted to arrest Yun Fenghuang and put her in prison and torture her to suppress the shock: "Ridiculous! Over the years, Shanyuanguan has received royal ladies not once or twice, and there has never been an accident, why did you have an accident when you came?! It can be seen that you are not behaving well, and you are hated by the demons and gods! ”

"What the Empress Dowager said is not right, the concubine remembers that when Ji Sheng brought the concubines and princesses to pray for His Majesty's blessing and son, there was also a mistake in the middle." Yun Fenghuang chuckled and said, "Besides, it is not a matter of a day or two for Shanyuanguan to be worshiped by the royal family. If the ghosts and gods here really have spirits, why can't they bear to see the first emperor have no heirs and end up depressed? Although the concubine is young, she has also heard that when Ji Sheng was the first emperor and queen, she didn't come to pray for blessings and children, but what was the result? Until the death of the first emperor, there were only three princesses under his knees. It can be seen that the concept of goodness may be deeply favored by the emperor, but this is a miracle...... It's not that good! ”

The Empress Dowager sneered: "If the first emperor had a son, how could it be your turn to run amok in the palace now!" ”

"Although the concubine is dull, she was also hired into the palace by the Empress Dowager." Yun Fenghuang said softly, "The Empress Dowager doesn't like concubines now, and concubines don't dare to say anything, after all, they are all concubines, and they haven't been able to please your old man." ”

"It's yours indeed, no." The Empress Dowager said, "What did the mourning family say yesterday?" Tell you not to appear in front of the mourners, how did you promise at that time? said that you would wait in a place where the mourning family could not see, and then came to the mourning family to add blockage, this is to be angry with the mourning family as soon as possible, so that Chunjia will have no involvement, and let the loving mother, the Queen Mother, be the master of the house, yes or no? ”

Yun Fenghuang immediately knelt down: "The concubine body would never dare to have such an idea!" The concubine only heard about the water walking, and was sincerely worried about the safety of the Empress Dowager in the Taoist temple, so she wanted to ask the Empress Dowager to return to the palace, so as not to worry about Her Majesty! ”

"If it were your turn to worry about the safety of the mourning family, you wouldn't be able to live now." The Empress Dowager said disdainfully, "Get out, really be a fool of the mourners?!" ”

Yun Fenghuan didn't move when he heard this...... Because the Empress Dowager said this, she didn't say anything, but the attendants on the left and right retreated silently.

It was evident that there was something to tell her about the situation, and her mind moved, and she got up tentatively.

Sure enough, the Empress Dowager turned a blind eye to it, and waited for everyone to withdraw, before she asked slowly: "Can the emperor allow Minghui to descend?" ”

"What you said, Her Royal Highness Princess Minghui is in the middle of Huaxin, how can Your Majesty not be concerned?" Yun Fenghuang blinked and said, "Don't dare to hide it from the Empress Dowager, before the concubine came back this time, His Majesty only talked about the lifelong events of Her Royal Highness Princess Minghui, but the first emperor is such a golden branch and jade leaf, and the selection of this concubine must always be considered." ”

The Empress Dowager said lightly: "I don't know what year and month it is?" ”

"The Manchu Dynasty civil and military look at it, who can still treat the first emperor's blood badly?" Yun Fenghuan asked rhetorically.

She didn't say that Chunjia was quite grateful to the first emperor Xiaozong, and she was more tolerant of the three eldest princesses, and she had no intention of marrying the eldest princess Minghui; Even if you don't like Minghui, with the love of the Son of Heaven, you won't choose to block the way of the eldest princess's descent.

Wouldn't it be good to pick a colt for her that is shiny on the surface and dirty on the inside?

The Empress Dowager exhaled and said abruptly: "You really want to be the queen?" ”

"......" Yun Fenghuang quickly calculated in his heart, and said with a smile, "How can the concubine have that blessing?" ”

"So that's what you think?" The Empress Dowager's expression became subtle, and she said softly, "But you also know that you have no hope of being the queen." ”

Without waiting for Yun Fenghuan to answer, she then said, "Because Chunjia won't allow it." ”

"You have been in the palace for less than three years, and you have already achieved the second only concubine after the queen, and you have won the favor of the emperor, and you should have an understanding of the current son of heaven. This is a master who condones small things and does not give an inch in big things. So even if you are very fond of him, there are some things that he thinks will not work, and you can't go beyond half a step. ”

"After all, you can have today, including the Xie family behind you, thanks to the emperor's favor."

"The emperor's pet can fulfill you and the Xie family, and it can also restrict you and the Xie family."

Yun Fenghuang chuckled lightly and said, "The Empress Dowager said this, does she want to help the concubine?" ”

"The mourning family has no relationship with you, but has a little grudge, why do you want to help you plainly?" The Empress Dowager asked rhetorically.

"Then what does the Empress Dowager mean by saying this with her concubine?"

The Empress Dowager smiled meaninglessly and said, "You yourself know in your heart that you want to ascend to the phoenix throne, unless Chunjia has no choice but to make you the queen." Therefore, on the grounds that Concubine Zhenxi was an heir, King Qin was recorded in the name of the princess of Yiguo, so that it would be convenient to coerce the Duke of Yiguo in the future. Then he enveloped Concubine De and supported the Xie family. At the beginning of the year, he agreed to be an ally with the Ouyang clan, so that it would be difficult to counterattack when there was no one in the DPRK and China...... However, the Xie family's background is too shallow, Yun Zhao is a dead brain, and he may not be willing to be coerced by you, especially since the King of Qin and Concubine Zhenxi are not related, and the Yun family is willing to do limited for the King of Qin; As for Concubine De, the eldest princess of Dongxing made a mistake in standing in line back then, and the Wei family has been in decline over the years, and she has no time to take care of herself. And the Ouyang family, with Ouyang Shufei here, they may be sincere for you? ”

"So your arrangement seems to be comprehensive, but in fact none of them are reliable."

Yun Fenghuang said with a smile: "Who knows what will happen in the future?" It's like when the concubine first entered the palace, she just wanted to have a good time, but who knew that she would become a concubine unconsciously. However, the former queen and Kang Jieyu, who were high up at the beginning, have returned to the underworld. ”

The Empress Dowager was not angered by her words, but said: "There is an example of the Ji family, whether it is Chunjia or the ministers of the previous dynasty, it is impossible to let the dictatorship of foreign relatives appear again. This is the root cause of Chunjia's impossibility of making you the queen, he would rather set up an unfavored one, such as Gu Zhen. Definitely won't choose you. In fact, if you are stupid, after a long time of deep affection, he may be soft-hearted for a while. But you are so capable and shrewd, he is only afraid of guarding against you more than Ling Zi. Moreover, even if you take 10,000 steps back, you really let the Xie family grow stronger and become a family comparable to the Ji family, at that time, why do you still listen to you? ”

"What exactly does the Empress Dowager want to say?"

"If you support the family now, you will be tabooed by Chunjia and the ministers; But he doesn't support the family, but he doesn't have the capital to sit on the phoenix. The Empress Dowager took a sip of the tea in front of her, and said, "If you can't find a good way to break the situation one day, you will definitely have to stop at the position of the concubine and watch the prince under Gu Zhen's knees enter the East Palace!" What the mourning family said, is it right? ”

Yun Fenghuang said with a smile: "With the background of a concubine, it is already a blessing to be a concubine, if you really don't have a phoenix, you will be a princess in the future, but it is not a grievance." ”

"If you are such a receptive person." The Empress Dowager also smiled and said lightly, "Why did Fang Cai listen to the mourning family for a long time? ”

"You are the empress dowager, if you want to speak, how can the concubine not listen?"

The Empress Dowager said: "Well, you are a filial piety? ”

Yun Fenghuang said: "You praise it falsely, this is all what the concubine should be." ”

"You'll come back to the mourners." The Empress Dowager smiled, put down the tea bowl, and motioned to send off the guests, "It's just that you're determined to hurry up, after all, you also know that how long the old bones of the mourning family can live is a question." ”

"What did you say? You are blessed and will live a long life. ”

After a while, Yun Fenghuang walked out of the courtyard gate and went back to his own courtyard, thinking about it on the way.

When she was about to reach the door, she asked left and right: "Have you told the palace about the water?" When will Your Majesty come over? ”

Although last night's fire was mainly in the Taoist temple hall and nearby, whether it was the empress dowager or the concubines, they were all in danger, but Chunjia, as the heir, could not not ask.

In order to show filial piety, he will most likely personally rush over to greet the Queen Mother.

At this moment, Chen Jing said: "Our people set off before dawn, and if Your Majesty wants to come in person, he is already leaving." ”

Chunjia was fast and arrived at Shanyuanguan before noon.

He first went to the other courtyard to see the Empress Dowager and performed a performance of Zuci Sun Xiao...... Well, the main thing is that he performed alone, because the Empress Dowager didn't come out to see him at all, and directly asked the attendants to say that she was tired and rested.

However, Chunjia didn't care, let alone feel embarrassed, and took care of himself in the court with the attendants to ask long and short questions, caring and caring, and felt that the living room people accompanying him had enough materials, so he respectfully retired, and the whole process was twenty-four filial piety, and there was absolutely no slackness.

It wasn't until they entered the courtyard of Yunfeng Huang that everyone retreated, and they showed a little dullness, and said, "Why did you just come and walk out of the water?" ”

"It's as if I had set the fire." Yun Fenghuang knocked him with a fan, and snorted, "The Taoist temple said that it was a mistake in the vigil, do you believe it?" ”

Chun Jia pinched the corners of his forehead and said, "Yesterday, I discussed with Ouyang Yanran until late at night, and I only slept for two hours...... I have a terrible headache right now, and I don't want to think about it, so you can talk about it. ”

Seeing this, Yun Fenghuang walked over to help him rub the corners of his forehead, and said in a slow tone: "What needs to be discussed so late?" Can't we wait until the next day? No matter how important the state affairs are, anyway, it has dragged down over the years, so it is important to have a royal body? I'll say something unlucky, do you think that the eldest prince will only walk for a few days? You are patronizing the government at this time, there is a good one, what should we do? ”

“…… That's not what you said when I was pretending to be sick. Chunjia laughed when she heard this, and teased, "You are so busy looking for Concubine De that you don't even want to accompany you at the sickbed." ”

It seemed that he was really busy and dizzy, and he didn't feel anything wrong when he said this, and felt that Yun Fenghuan stopped pressing his forehead, and was a little surprised, and asked, "What's the matter?" Tired? ”

was pushed by Yun Fenghuan, hummed and asked, "Pretending, sick?" ”

Chunjia: "......"

He calmed down and said slowly, "What about kidding, I'm such a frivolous person? ”

"Yes, why not?" Yun Fenghuang sneered, "The dignified son of heaven, the court meeting is imminent, and he can still pretend to be sick and scare people, what is frivolous if this is not frivolous?" ”

"I have been recognized as a diligent government since I was in power, if I didn't really owe peace, how could I miss the court?" Chunjia resolutely refused to admit it, "You heard it wrong! I've never pretended to be sick! If I quit the court due to illness, it will be uncomfortable! ”

Yun Fenghuang said: "Do you want to go out and shout to the geese to lure them in to confront them?!" It's only been a long time, and the dignified Ninety-Five Supreme has flatly denied it, and you're embarrassed! ”

Chunjia was so embarrassed: "I have always favored you, but this is not a reason for you to plant me with empty white teeth!" When have I ever done something like this? You remember wrong! You must be mistaken! ”

The imperial concubine argued for a long time around this issue, but Chunjia didn't admit it anyway, and questioned whether Yun Fenghuan was too tired to worry about palace affairs and take care of four children so much that he hallucinated?

Yun Feng is angry to death, she was very calm and calm when she didn't admit to others before, but now that Feng Shui takes turns, it's Chunjia's turn to be so angry with her, she can't stand it!

couldn't help pinching and twisting at the emperor: "Yes, the concubine is tired and tired these times, and she is hallucinating!" How can a good Taoist temple catch fire? If the Taoist temple is not on fire, how can His Majesty's busy government affairs appear here? This must be that the concubine missed His Majesty so much that she hallucinated...... The majesty in front of this must not be your majesty! The concubine should wake up early and stop daydreaming here! ”

Chunjia grabbed her hand with a smile: "Hey, hey, hey, if you want to wake up from your daydream, why don't you pinch yourself and pinch me?" ”

"How can hallucinations speak, this must be fake!" Yun Fenghuang struggled a few times and couldn't get out, so he stretched out his leg to kick him, and said, "The concubine really misses Your Majesty so much that she is stunned!" Tyre! Who is the demon who dares to pretend to be His Majesty, see if this palace will clean you up today! ”

During this time, the imperial concubine was very busy, even if Chunjia still often went to the Lanzhou Night Rain Pavilion, but there was nothing fortunate about it, but they were arranged separately when they talked.

At this moment, the two sides were entangled, their limbs were entangled, their skin was close to each other, and their clothes were thin in the summer, so they rolled on the couch together unconsciously...... When they waited for someone to wait, it was already the sun and shadow slanting westward, Qingdu and the others had slightly red cheeks, and came in with a basin of water to serve and freshen up, and then they said: "Concubine Wan, Mrs. Roukun, and Zhaoyi Niangniang came in the afternoon, and they have been waiting outside, saying that they want to say hello to Your Majesty." ”

Yun Fenghuang was looking at the hairpin ring in front of the bronze mirror, Chunjia stood next to him, chose a comparison from the makeup box, and asked when he heard the words: "Is there something wrong with them?" ”

Qingdu shook his head and said: "The three ladies only said please An, and didn't mention anything else." ”

"In that case, let's go in first." Yun Fenghuan pointed to the side of the bun, Chunjia inserted the gilt Zhuhai Begonia hairpin for her, and clicked on the gilded silk gourd inlaid treasure earrings in her ears, and the inch-long earrings swayed, and Yun Fenghuan threw a coquettish glance at him, Fang Zhanrong smiled, "It's summer now, your earrings should be replaced with a pair of jadeite." The red crow was flamboyant, but it was too hot. I remember that there were some good jadeite jewelry in the inner library, and someone would get a few for you another day. ”

Yun Fenghuang said: "Now that the mountains are full of green, where can one or two pieces of jade be compared?" I want to get a little red from this ten thousand greens. ”

As he was talking, the third concubine was ushered in, asked for peace, and after being excused, she got up and stood with her sleeves folded, and quietly raised her head, looking at their eyes very complicated.
