Chapter 6 The Concept of Good Depths
After Xie Kuo confirmed that the eldest princess of Minghui had met with the Taoist priest in private, Yun Fenghuang asked Chen Jing to inquire.
Chen Jing went out for a spin and came back to say, "It's not a Taoist priest, it's a Taoist aunt." Shanyuanguan came over there, and the Tao was ordered by the Empress Dowager to send something to Her Royal Highness Princess Minghui Station. β
Yun Fenghuang hadn't paid much attention to Shanyuanguan before, but when he heard this, he became interested: "Even if the Empress Dowager plans to live in Shanyuanguan for a long time, it is impossible for her to lack the manpower to summon her." What doesn't let the palace people run errands, but they want to work outsiders? β
"Maybe it's not just sending things, it's also passing on the word?" Chen Jing thought for a while and whispered, "The slave maid just asked someone who knew, and said that Daogu was familiar with the Empress Dowager, Ji Sheng, and the eldest princess Minghui. Even when Her Royal Highness Princess Minghui was a child, that aunt hugged her and prayed for her. β
"And such a person?" Yun Fenghuang said, "Then why haven't I heard of her when I came to this palace two times ago?" β
Chen Jing's voice was lower: "That's the case, back then, when Emperor Xiaozong, his knees were always empty, and the Empress Dowager and the concubine Ji Sheng were anxious, and they often went to Shanyuanguan to pray for blessings." Later, Ji Sheng gave birth to Her Royal Highness the eldest princess Minghui, and Concubine Wu and Concubine Shen also gave birth to an eldest princess respectively. At this time, His Majesty Xiaozong was in poor health because of Ji's step-by-step pressing, so that he couldn't afford to come to Qishan Palace when the summer vacation came. If the holy car doesn't come, the Empress Dowager and her concubine Ji Sheng can't leave Her Majesty Xiaozong to come over for the summer? After that, there was less contact with the Zen Yuanguan. β
After that, His Majesty Xiaozong and his concubine Ji Sheng often quarreled over Ji's affairs, and basically did not go to Yanfu Palace...... After a few years, His Majesty Xiaozong died. β
"After our Majesty ascended the throne, Ji Sheng's vicious thoughts and murder of the emperor's heir were too late, how could he pray for His Majesty's blessing and ask for a son? Even when I went to the New Year, most of it was like that. When you kneel there and pray silently, God knows what is going on in your heart. β
Yun Fenghuang smiled and said, "Well, speaking of which, this palace hasn't been to Shanyuanguan yet." It's not a matter to let the queen mother wait for the queen mother there, wait for two days, you go and tell the queen mother that the palace wants to replace her for two days. β
Chen Jing immediately asked: "Niangniang, do you think that Taoist temple ...... Wrong? β
"What did you say?" Yun Fenghuang stiffened his face, "That's where the Empress Dowager came in person, what could be wrong?" It's just that this palace wants to show filial piety. β
Chen Jing hurriedly praised Yun Fenghuan's pure filial piety, and the twenty-four filial sons were ashamed of themselves...... Yun Fenghuang lazily enjoyed his praise, but he was thinking in his heart, how to make a fuss about this matter?
She doesn't care if there is a problem with the Taoist temple, as long as the planting skills are good, how can there be innocent harm?
Anyway, when the eldest princess Minghui personally went down and wanted to put her to death, she remembered it!
The next day, Yun Fenghuang personally went to Xingxin Hall to talk to Chunjia about this, of course, she didn't say that Xie Kuo listened to the section of the wall, only said that the Empress Dowager had been staying in the Taoist Temple with bad intentions, the queen was too pure, and Concubine Wan Roukun and Mrs. Xuan Zhaoyi were not shrewd and capable, thinking about it, or did she go over to see what the Empress Dowager was doing?
Even if it is not good, it can also test one or two.
Despite this, Chunjia, who knew her temperament, didn't believe it very much, and said with a smile: "When the queen said to go before, you didn't say that. β
"After all, it's the queen's mother, and it's not a bad thing to say that it's pure and good, why should the concubine be distracted?" Yun Fenghuang said with a heartfelt voice, "At this time, the queen has been serving there for a few days, and the concubine said that she couldn't stand a few little ancestors, so she asked the mother to come back and exchange with the concubine for two days, and the mother would not be unable to get off the stage." β
It would be strange if the concubine was such a considerate person.
Chunjia knew that she must not be at ease, smiled and prevaricated, said that he thought about it, sent her away, and turned around and called Yan Yin to him and asked him what was the matter?
Yan Yin didn't know the occasional scene of Xie Meng Xie Kuo's play, thought for a while, and said: "Chen Jing in front of the concubine Niangniang seemed to have inquired about the Taoist priest, and someone told him that the monks who appeared in the palace now were eighty percent of the Taoist aunts who came to send things to Her Royal Highness Princess Minghui on the order of the Empress Dowager. β
"It looks like she's going to target Minghui." Chunjia smiled and sighed, "One by one, they don't have to worry about it!" β
Yan Yin speculated about the thoughts of the Son of Heaven and asked, "Do you want to dissuade the mother or two?" β
Chunjia thought about it, but shook her head and said, "Minghui is young and naΓ―ve, but Yun'an and Sui'an have both declined, Yun'an is even pregnant, and she will give birth at the end of the year, and her marriage should also be put on the agenda." Since they are all about to become a wife and a mother, how can they pay it back
Can you stay naΓ―ve and ignorant? It's good to let the concubine mention her. β
Yan Yinxin said, I am afraid that the ordinary people of the concubine Niangniang's mention will not be able to stand it, even if Her Royal Highness the eldest princess is such a golden branch and jade leaf, after being mentioned, the person will be finished.
Fortunately, Chunjia just wanted Minghui to suffer a little, and had no intention of killing people with a knife, so he ordered: "Look at Minghui, as long as there is no major incident, it will be up to the concubine." β
So Chunjia nodded the next day, and Yun Fenghuang sent someone to Shanyuanguan to deliver a letter, saying that he wanted to exchange with Queen Gu for a few days.
Empress Gu was very surprised when she received the news, and to be honest, it was not a good errand to serve the Empress Dowager.
One is that the old lady's eyes are above the top, except for their Ji family's concubines, she has no other women to look up to, although she is not like the Empress Dowager Yuan, she is obviously picky, but that condescending attitude, the contempt and arrogance revealed in her speech and demeanor, make Gu Zhen, the concubines from these noble girls, feel humiliated enough; The second is that the Queen Mother is in a bad mood now, and she is particularly harsh on the people around her.
She is very tactful at this level to find fault, without any overt humiliation at all.
But it just makes the waiter feel ashamed.
Gu Zhen is straightforward, he has never been smart and intelligent among noblewomen, this time in order to relieve Chunjia, he fell into the hands of the Queen Mother, but he suffered a lot.
However, because of the identity and euphemism of the empress dowager, it is not even easy to talk about grievances.
When she was depressed, the concubine wanted to change shifts, of course she couldn't ask for it.
However, hindering Yun Fenghuan's always good behavior, the queen vigilantly interrogated again and again, confirming that the imperial heirs, including Yun Fenghuan's two nieces, were safe and sound, and there would be nothing to do in a short time, so she was slightly relieved and nodded in agreement.
She was really afraid that one of the six children would cause trouble, and Yun Fenghuan calculated that she would go back to the top tank by herself......
It's not that this kind of operation can't be done.
So on this day, it was Concubine Wan's turn to serve, and the queen didn't tell anyone, so she left Shanyuanguan by car and spent half a day rushing back to the palace.
Yun Fenghuan saw the queen and said a few words, mainly to hand over the imperial heir, and then entrust his niece, and then left.
She went to Shanyuanguan faster than the queen returned, and Guy and his party were all on horseback.
I heard about this Taoist temple when I first came here, and I have only stepped on it in person so far.
At first sight, I was a little disappointed, because the appearance was not the kind of momentum that the royal Taoist temple should have, and it was even a little shabby.
After entering, the Taoist priest of Zhike was dressed plainly, and the corners of the robe were even covered with two more hidden patches, but his demeanor was calm, but some often ushered in the meaning of sending to nobles and not being surprised.
Sit down to serve tea, tea and tea utensils are extraordinary, and you can see luxury.
Regarding Yun Fenghuan's intention, Zhike euphemistically said that it was inconvenient for people outside their party to mix with royal affairs, and pointed out the path to the residence of the Empress Dowager to her, and she retired.
"These Dao aunts are so rude!" Qingdu was not happy when he saw this, and muttered, "You don't know how to take us over just a few steps?" β
"People say that they are outsiders, just a few steps to the left and right, and walk by themselves." Yun Fenghuang felt that this Shanyuanguan was not the same as what he thought before he came, and he didn't plan to turn his face immediately, so he said lazily, "Although this place is not as imposing as the new announcement, there are some scenery to see." β
Especially on the road from the front court of the Taoist temple to the courtyard where the Empress Dowager lived, the grass and trees were green, the mountains were full of flowers, there were mountain streams gurgling from time to time, and the sound of water was tinkling.
All kinds of bees and butterflies are busy back and forth, and when it is lively, there is also a muntjac gnawing on the tender blades of grass, and people are not afraid, but look at them curiously.
"It's no wonder that the Empress Dowager wants to stay, this place and the palace want to stay for two days." Seeing this, Yun Fenghuang chuckled and said, "But it's much more comfortable than the palace." β
"That's because you're here, if it's two days, you don't necessarily think so." Before the words fell, a voice came from behind the flower tree in front of him, and said, "The concubine said that she just went to ask the queen mother to ask for peace, why did you go to the garden, and you are going back to invite you to come over and sit in the town?" Also, although the queen's temperament is good, she shouldn't be able to stand it. β
The visitor was wearing a tender green shirt and a goose yellow skirt, if it weren't for a string of pomegranate red beaded silk around his waist, which was as bright as a mountain fire, he would almost be drowned in the verdant mountains and fields.
It was Xuan Zhaoyi Luo Hanyi, she was followed by two blue-clothed palace maids, holding a fan in her hand, with a miserable face, "Are you going to say hello to the Empress Dowager now?" The concubine persuaded you to go over slowly, and Mrs. Roukun was 'invited' out and was going back to the house to cry. fear
It's the Queen Mother, and she's not in a very good mood at this time! β
Yun Fenghuang didn't take it seriously at first, and when he heard that Mrs. Roukun went back to the house to cry, he asked with a smile: "Roukun has been made to cry?" Poor thing, she's not a cryer. It's also Princess Wei Su, what's wrong with the Queen Mother? Don't even give face to your neighbors? β
"Huh." Luo Hanyi spread his hands and pointed out, "It's probably that I'm still immersed in the bad news between the former queen and Kang Jieyu." β
The Empress Dowager has gotten along with the most people in her life one after another, and she has fewer and fewer scruples in her heart, and she is naturally not afraid of willfulness.
Yun Fenghuang thought about it, and said that since this is the case, then she will go to see Mrs. Roukun.
Although this Taoist temple is not new, after all, it has received top nobles like the princess of the concubine for many years, so there are many other courtyards for believers to live, and the area is not small.
Luo Hanyi led Yun Fenghuan and walked for a long time before he arrived at a courtyard, Yun Fenghuang made someone come forward and knock on the door, and saw Mrs. Roukun's marriage come out and open the door, and when he saw them, he was very surprised, saluted, and puzzled: "Why did the concubine Niangniang come here?" β
"Can't the concubine come here?" Yun Fenghuang hadn't answered yet, Luo Hanyi said first, "That's it, the concubine came to see your wife, and led the way." β
The marriage was not very reluctant, and said with a strong smile: "My mother is tired just now, and she has already been settled." β
"I was crying just now when the Queen Mother said, where is it so easy to place?" Luo Hanyi covered his mouth and smiled, "Don't be sad alone in the house?" Those of you who are subordinates don't know how to feel sorry for your own master. However, the concubine Niangniang was quite sorry after hearing about it, and she came to visit. β
This is specially come to laugh at it...... The dowry especially didn't want Yun Fenghuang to go in, because this master and their master had a bad relationship.
Now Mrs. Roukun is low, if she is swept down by the clouds, God knows what kind of troublesome method will be.
Although Roukun's identity is special and cannot be treated by ordinary palace concubines, but in the past few days that their master and servant have entered the palace, they also know that they don't need to find fault in this harem at all.
Especially Yun Fenghuang, who has a great record, is recognized as the most difficult person in the harem, and is even more feared than the queen.
They hesitated, and their feet didn't move, but Rou Kun took the initiative to come out when she heard the movement, and when she saw Yun Fenghuang and Luo Hanyi, she was stunned, her face was ugly, and she shouted, "What are you doing here?" β
"It's really unruly, don't you know how to say hello when you see the concubine?" Luo Hanyi raised his chin slightly, and scolded, "No wonder the Empress Dowager doesn't want you, where can you be looked down upon if you talk and act like this?" β
Xuan Zhaoyi is one of the concubines who doesn't like Roukun, and her malice is only under the clouds.
This is because her brother Luo Tieyi is in the Dingbei Army, and his main responsibility is to guard against Wei Su, Luo Hanyi has a good relationship with Luo Tieyi, and he has heard Luo Tieyi reveal the suffering of the people in the frontier, and this misery is often brought by Wei Su, so Luo Hanyi is preconceived and thinks that Wei Su does not have a good thing.
Especially after Roukun entered the palace, Chunjia's time was divided again, and there were fewer chances for her turn, not to mention, this alien princess was still so competitive, and she became pregnant not long after entering the palace, even if she didn't keep it because of her young age, but at least she was pregnant!
β¦β¦ Anyway, Luo Hanyi borrowed a knife to kill people today, and deliberately lured the concubine over to block Roukun.
Sure enough, Roukun exploded on the spot!
She first kicked a dowry to the ground, scolded her in Wei Su, and finally changed it to the language of Middle-earth, saying Luo Hanyi: "I am not from the Central Plains, and it is understandable that I can't serve the noble Empress Dowager, but it's you, it is said that your background is not much worse than the Empress Dowager, but you are not much praised by the Empress Dowager, what face do you have to say about me?" β
He glared at Yun Fenghuan again, and sneered, "Although the noble concubine Niangniang is from the Central Plains, her mother is cold, and it is understandable that she will not be welcomed in front of the Empress Dowager after a while." β
Luo Hanyi snorted: "The concubine is only shallow after recognizing it, but the lady said that the concubine is also repaid, what qualifications do you have to say that the concubine is the mother?" You must know that the superior and the inferior ......"
Before he finished speaking, there was a little waiter on the mountain road panting and rushing over, seeing Yun Fenghuan's eyes lit up, he hurriedly came over to salute and said: "The Empress Dowager just heard that the queen has an urgent matter to go back to the palace, and she has changed the concubine Niangniang to come, and the special slave maid asked the concubine Niangniang to come over to talk!" β
Hearing this, Luo Hanyi and Rou Kun both showed a hint of schadenfreude, and immediately lowered their heads to cover up, and said: "When the Empress Dowager is called, the concubine does not dare to delay her mother." β
