Chapter Forty-Nine
Of course, three or five days is to tell Queen Ji from the side, and the Ji family behind her, this matter is not easy to handle.
In fact, this is not a difficult thing for Yun Fenghuan, not to mention the endorsement of Chunjia, and the willingness of Empress Dowager Yuan to cooperate, even without the help of these two, Concubine Xian consciously can get things done - the kind that can be done in less than three or five days.
However, if she honestly restored Ji Duzi's concubine position, she would not be a cloud wind.
"Ruifei?" Empress Ji raised her eyebrows and said, "These few people who were hired into the palace by the Empress Dowager of Mercy, haven't you been keeping an eye on Concubine Xuan?" Why did you suddenly think of this? ”
Yun Fenghuang took a sip of tea and said calmly: "Concubine Rui's grandfather has already returned to the court, and he is being summoned by His Majesty in the Taichu Palace at this time." After the monarch and the minister get along, they must be entrusted with important tasks. When the time comes, the pressure on the Ji family in the previous dynasty will inevitably double, doesn't Niangniang want to take advantage of the matter of the palace to reduce the pressure on the family a little? ”
Empress Ji changed her sitting posture, became more dignified, and chuckled: "Of course this palace wants to." But Concubine Xian, you are suddenly so considerate, it really makes this palace feel uneasy! ”
Without waiting for Yun Fenghuan to speak, she continued, "Let's not talk about the grievances between you and me, just say what are you doing this?" Before, the basis of your conspiracy with this palace was nothing more than to deal with the Queen Mother. But the previous dynasty that Ouyang Yanran was involved in, once my Ji clan gained the upper hand, your biggest backer now is Your Majesty, I am afraid that it will be difficult to protect yourself. When the time comes, what will happen to you? Someone as smart as you would not have thought of this? ”
The corners of the queen's red lips were slightly hooked, and her eyes were cold, "So, you are a fool when this palace is a fool, and you have a bad idea?!" ”
"Of course the concubine doesn't dare to be a fool, but the concubine, please think about it, the concubine is the kind of person who thinks she is smart?" Yun Fenghuan was not panicked, and said slowly, "Please also ask Niangniang to listen: Although Ji Yuwan used to be Zhaoyuan, her position is extremely low now, and even if she breaks the seal, she can't return to the concubine position." Wrong, not Your Majesty's extra grace...... But His Majesty is not even willing to give grace to the twin princes, let alone Ji Yuwan? Therefore, it can only be like the previous reception banquet and the promotion of the concubine, so that His Majesty has to do this. ”
Empress Ji squinted at her: "At the reception banquet, Your Majesty crowned you in public, one is out of reluctance to let the palace raise the eldest prince, and the other is that he already favors you, and there is not much resistance to promoting you to the fourth concubine...... But I don't know how Twilight Zi can follow your example? ”
Yun Fenghuang said: "The promotion of concubines to the throne is nothing more than two paths: one is the emperor's favor; The second merit. Otherwise, it is to boil the qualifications, and to boil until there are people on the top who have pity and help...... But that was when the lower ranks were lower. When I got to the ninth concubine and above, I didn't have any ability, so I was barely carried up, and I didn't sit for long. For example, the former Concubine Yue and the current Mrs. Chunke. ”
"Emperor Ji Yuwan's pet doesn't have to think about it, the credit for giving birth to twins is actually not small. But I can't stand His Majesty's dislike, and I haven't mentioned the matter of rewards and condolences so far. So it's useless. ”
"But the concubine has inquired, Ouyang Yanran was demoted back then, although it was out of Ji's selfishness, the causes and consequences were very sufficient, and it was not wronged. At least the scene
It is not wronged. ”
Ouyang Yanran can be picked out by Chun Jia from among the old ministers who were persecuted by the Ji family to preside over the overall situation of the reversal of Ji, so naturally there is no shortage of talent.
It was also quite nerve-wracking for the Ji family to send people away from the imperial capital at the beginning - Ouyang Yanran himself was actually not caught by the Ji family, and he tragedy happened to his students and nephews.
The two were lured by Ji's people to make a big mistake, but Ji couldn't press it, pretending not to know, and secretly guided their family members to find Ouyang Yanran for help.
Ouyang Yanran's gang was dragged into the water - but in that situation, if he didn't help, the fire would burn on his head sooner or later. After all, the two people who had the accident were so close to him, even if there was no evidence, rumors were spread everywhere that these two juniors were actually acting on his orders, and now they were exposed and thrown out to blame...... Ouyang Yanran couldn't say clearly.
Yun Fenghuang understood what had happened, and at this moment he suggested to Empress Ji, "Although everyone knows that after Ouyang Yanran recovers, he will inevitably target the Ji family. But everyone is an important minister of the temple, and they always have to be famous. Forgive the concubine for bluntly saying that the Ji family has a big business, and there are not a few handles over the years! ”
"With Ouyang Yanran's old spiciness, it's not difficult to find a place to start."
"So it's better to let Ji Yuwan make a contribution related to Concubine Rui, so that even if Ouyang Yanran doesn't take it to heart, His Majesty will not be suspicious of him; Second, the Ji family can also question Ouyang Yanran's revenge from this, and his virtue is lacking! ”
"What do you think?"
Empress Ji took a sip of tea and smiled: "This palace doesn't think so." ”
Yun Fenghuang sighed and said, "That concubine still has a plan......
"Concubine Xian, are you dishonest." The Empress interrupted her, "What kind of sex is Your Majesty. Son, you know it, and so does this palace. Do you think this kind of small means can make him suspicious of Ouyang Yanran? Moreover, the consequences of the temple fight, Ouyang Yanran would not be clear? How can it be shaken by the favor of a granddaughter? To put it mildly, if Ouyang Fushu can be exchanged for the benefits that the Ouyang family thinks are worthwhile, the pearl of the palm that has been raised by thousands of people in this family will never hesitate to give it up...... This is the Maison. ”
The queen sat on the phoenix throne and looked down condescendingly, there was no arrogance in her eyes, only indifference, "The family is a faction, this palace knows better than you!" ”
"This is not what you want to say, what you want to say should be to drag Concubine Rui into the water and let her make a big mistake, so as to force Your Majesty to give Concubine Twilight Zifeng to calm things down, right?"
Empress Ji's tone was playful, "Then why can't you just say it?" Are you afraid that this palace will not be able to do it, is it afraid that this palace will send you some trouble, or is it ...... Worried that Hongu will think of something that shouldn't be thought of? ”
"For example, when you were the unconventional concubine?"
"Mother." Yun Fenghuan's tone was lazy, without any weakness, and smiled slightly, "The matter of the concubine being a concubine has passed, how to do it without restricting the concubine, as Niangniang said, even if Ji Yuwan is the pearl of the palm raised by the Ji family's thousands of pets, compared to the future of the entire Ji family, what is it, right?" ”
empress
looked at her coldly.
Yun Fenghuang smiled back.
After confronting each other for a moment, Empress Ji snorted: "Zhenxi really deserves to die!" ”
If Concubine Shu hadn't brought people in, Ji Duzi would have suffered such a catastrophe?
Yun Fenghuang smiled nonchalantly and said, "Niangniang, no matter what, Concubine Rui's Fufa is in the front harem, and it is also beneficial to the Ji family, right?" ”
"What about you?" Empress Ji sneered, "Isn't it good for you?" Will you do pure good? ”
"Ouyang Yanran is about to be reused by His Majesty, and Concubine Rui's status will inevitably rise with the tide." Yun Fenghuan didn't hide it, Shi Shiran said, "Although Concubine Rui is not as strong as Concubine Xuan, but as the saying goes, knowing people and knowing faces but not knowing hearts, she has only been in the palace for a few days, who knows what she thinks?" Instead of letting her use Ouyang Yanran's momentum to achieve the climate, it is better to let her be a stepping stone for Ji Yuwan to return to the concubine position, which is also the best of both worlds for the mother and the concubine, isn't it? ”
Empress Ji said hesitantly: "It's the best of both worlds...... Before, you wanted to promote your brother and want to be promoted to the fourth concubine, but my Ji family did it for you, the former sacrificed my Ji family's son, and the latter gave up the eldest prince, you are good! It's such a trivial matter, and you have to bargain again and again, and you have to bring it to yourself for the benefit of the way! Concubine Xian, you look like you're working sincerely?! ”
"Niangniang, if the concubine body tells you a perfect plan at this time, the concubine herself will not benefit at all." Yun Fenghuang said softly, "Would you believe it?" Even if you think it's okay to think about it, I'm afraid that you will hesitate out of distrust of the concubine, or even simply abandon it for safety? ”
"Of course, the concubine is not blaming you for saying this, who called the concubine from a humble background, who entered the palace in a hurry, in order to survive, she couldn't help but be too eager, and fell into a lot of tricks, which was criticized?"
"So in order to prevent Niangniang from wasting Chenguang on meaningless things, the concubine can only tie her own interests with the proposal to Niangniang."
"In this way, the mother will trust the concubine more, won't she?"
Empress Ji expressed her admiration for her reversal of black and white: "Do you want to thank this palace for your thoughtfulness?" ”
"This is what a concubine should do." Yun Fenghuan's face did not change, "I just ask the mother to trust more concubines." ”
Of course, it is impossible for Empress Ji to trust her, even if she steps on Concubine Rui to restore Ji Duzi, it is indeed good for Yun Fenghuan, she sent Yun Fenghuan, or immediately went to the Empress Dowager Ji to discuss, so as not to fall into the design of this virtuous concubine.
"It can be done." After hearing this, Empress Dowager Ji closed her eyes and pondered for a moment, and said slowly, "Ouyang Yanran and my family are on the same page, which is also the reason why the Son of Heaven revived him. He is still coming now, and it is bound to be impossible to be good with us. The palace can attack Concubine Rui, so naturally it cannot be let go. ”
"Don't ask Ouyang Yanran to throw himself into a bogey, let him be distracted, or trace the accusations back to the Ouyang clan to drag him hands and feet, it will be a help for our father and brother."
"But it can't just be for Ruifei."
period
The Queen Mother said coldly, "Concubine Xian is ambitious, cunning and cunning, she keeps saying that she united with my Ji clan to deal with the suppression of the Empress Dowager. But since we returned to the palace, the Queen Mother has also changed her mind, and the reception banquet is clear support...... Why is this not good now? ”
"The Empress Dowager is not a fool of Mrs. Chunke."
"According to the mourning family, maybe the mother and son, together with the virtuous concubine, are colluding, in order to trap our Ji family!"
Empress Ji frowned slightly, but she didn't have a look of surprise or surprise, after all, Yun Fenghuang was a ...... It's really not surprising to do this kind of thing......
The queen only said: "Then we now?" ”
"Concubine Xian is vicious, and she will be retribution, but she is not easy to impress." Empress Dowager Ji said, "If she takes the initiative to contact us, it is really to be an undercover agent, and it will definitely not be out of consideration for Chunjia's worries, Bacheng has her own purpose." ”
As for what purpose is said, the aunt and nephew both know it.
In terms of the current situation of the palace, in terms of the situation of the Ji family, what can attract a favorite concubine more than the back position?
Empress Dowager Ji said, "She came from a humble background, and she couldn't give birth to herself, so it was very difficult to covet your position." Not to mention Concubine Xuan and Concubine Rui, in the Empress Dowager and in Chunjia's mind, I am afraid they should all be ranked ahead of her...... So just like Concubine Xian said about Twilight, if she wants to break out of the ordinary, she must make meritorious contributions, and the credit must be so great that most people will shut up. ”
"Is there a better stepping stone than our Ji clan?"
"But the mourning family is not as good as she wants."
The Queen Mother said lightly, "Does she want to deal with Concubine Rui, then let's drag Concubine Xuan and them into the water together." ”
"When the time comes, there will be no one in the palace except us...... But I don't know that the Queen Mother and Chunjia, as well as Concubine Xuan Rui, their maiden family, can still sit still? ”
At that time, even if these people don't give up dealing with the Ji family and turn around to deal with Yun Fenghuang, they still have to think about how to suppress this virtuous concubine, and even suppress the Xie family.
Empress Dowager Ji's eyes flashed, and she sneered slightly, "My Ji clan has been in the harem for three generations, and it is Concubine Xian's cheap maid who can use it if she wants to?" ”
