Chapter 168: The Storm Rises Again
There were fewer people at this year's Mid-Autumn Festival, and it was impossible for the Empress Dowager to appear, Chunjia didn't ask her what she meant, and directly asked Yun Fenghuang to announce the news that she needed to recuperate; The three queen mothers, one was deposed as a concubine, and two were "sick", of course, they couldn't attend; The queen has just left the palace and took a Jieyu with her.
Therefore, all eyes are focused on Chunjia's body, as well as ...... Junjia's side.
After all, the rear position has been vacated, and this palace banquet will not be able to see the vane of the successor.
The closest to Chunjia is Yunfeng Huang.
The queen is not here, and she is the highest in the palace now, which is fine.
Anyway, this arrangement was seen by Chunjia first, and he never raised any objections, and it was impossible for Yun Fenglian to suppress himself.
The second is Concubine Xuan, Concubine Rui...... It's all in accordance with the position, decent, and there are no surprises.
There was no clue in the seats, so everyone paid attention to the emperor's every move, hoping to find out whose credentials he preferred.
It's just that Chunjia's attention was not on the concubines at all, but he frequently toasted to the regent, and from time to time he also greeted the heroes who had contributed to the fall of the Ji clan before, among which Ouyang Yanran was belittled because he was older, and he was repeatedly told by the Son of Heaven not to drink too much, and he also asked the palace people to warm the wine in front of him very much, it seems that the Son of Heaven values the Ouyang family very much.
But then the Son of Heaven reminisced about the past with the head of the Luo family, chatted with the head of the Meng family for a long time, and talked about the glory of the ancestors of the Meng family, and talked about the way of words with the head of the Yin family...... Anyway, none of the four families were left out in the cold, and none of them stood out.
In addition, there are also courtiers such as Yiguo Gong who have been favored, and Chunjia is not as enthusiastic about Yiguo Gong as he is to the four families, but his attitude is more casual, and he seems to be closer.
At the moment, some people feel sorry for Yiguo Gong, if it weren't for Concubine Zhenxi Shufei who went early, I am afraid that there would be no suspense at this time?
However, I thought that the Yun family still had a biological daughter in the palace, who was Concubine Xie, the biological mother of the fourth prince.
Although Concubine Xie is not well-known in the palace, she has a good father!
The seat of Yunfeng Huang is next to Chunjia, condescending, taking in the expressions of everyone below, and the corners of his mouth can't help but hook slightly.
At this moment, a scarlet-robed official came out and toasted Chunjia.
Seeing this, Chunjia's eyes flashed slightly, and he smiled and drank.
According to the rules, the official should return the table if he says at most two auspicious words.
But he bowed his hand and said, "Your Majesty, at such a good time, the minister has a matter for His Majesty's holy reputation, and I have to say it." ”
"Aiqing, but it doesn't hurt to say it." Chunjia smiled and waved his hand, with a pleasant expression, looking like a generous man.
It's just that Yun Fenghuang is familiar with his temperament, but he noticed that this son of heaven is actually in a very bad mood at the moment.
Sure enough, the official said, "Last night, there were slaves who could not bear the cruelty and disguised themselves to the yamen to expose the master's house...... Such things should not have been brought up today, disturbing the interest of Your Majesty and you. But that slave is the son of Jia Chongyuan's maternal family, the Jia family, and it is said that Jia Chongyuan and the former queen Ji and the palace maidens are the third
The matter of corpses and insects is a big matter, and the minister does not dare not say it, nor dare to delay. ”
At this time, the opening has just passed, and the song and dance carefully choreographed by the Teaching Workshop Division is leveling down.
After saying that, the surroundings were quiet in an instant, and the sound of silk and bamboo in the distance was a little chaotic.
Yun Fenghuang frowned slightly and looked sideways at Chunjia.
The young Son of Heaven's eyes were cold, his expression was calm, but his tone was as gentle as ever: "At this time, the monarchs and ministers are happy and celebrate the festival together. This matter will be reported after the feast is over. Aiqing and return to the table, how about I be summoned separately later? ”
The official hesitated, and did not dare to refute the Son of Heaven, so he arched his hand and said, "The minister obeys the order." ”
Now that the accident was about to be eliminated, the regent slowly put down the wine cup and said with a smile: "Wait! ”
He turned to Chunjia and said slowly, "Your Majesty's move is inappropriate! The Mid-Autumn Festival banquet is held every year, and this year is particularly incomplete, the Queen Mother and the Mother and the Mother have not attended, and even the former Queen has left the palace in disgrace...... Today's feast is not tasteful, it is better to do something serious! ”
As he spoke, he looked around, "What do you think?" ”
Yun Fenghuang speculated that he should have been connected in advance, and several courtiers stood up and agreed, saying that they were willing to listen to the revelations of the Jia family's slaves, especially when it came to the fact that the former queen and the concubines were hit by three corpse insects.
is such an obvious provocation, of course, Chunjia's side will not sit idly by.
Yi Guogong and Ouyang Yanran took the lead in standing up to refute, saying that state affairs cannot be dealt with, and the Mid-Autumn Festival is once a year, and there are not always opportunities for monarchs and ministers to have fun together. The emperor said that he would celebrate the festival first, and then play this matter, but he didn't say that he didn't care.
And the truth of this matter has long been decided, and it is a joke that the one-sided words of a mere slave want to disturb such a major feast!
After arguing back and forth between the two sides, I heard someone on the concubine's table speak anxiously and angrily: "The mother's family in this palace has come to be generous, what kind of slave dares to make false accusations?!" ”
Of course, it was Jia Yuye who said this, this former Jieyu is now Chongyuan because her position in the concubine is not very high, and she is not particularly favored, so her presence in the palace has not been very strong.
It's the kind of person who can't think of her for good things and bad things.
Even if she hugged the thigh of Zheng Shangchu first, and then hugged the thigh of the former queen Ji Lingzi, during this period of time, Yun Fenghuang didn't think of this person.
Due to the fall of the two backers one after another, Jia Yuye became more and more well-behaved and low-key during this time.
Today's Mid-Autumn Festival banquet, she didn't even dare to wear it, and she didn't even look as bright as the palace concubines who were valued by Yi Xingen and a few other palace concubines.
At this moment, he looked at the tense scene in disbelief, left the table and fell to the ground, begging Chunjia: "Please Your Majesty be aware of everything!" The concubine has been in the palace for many years, but she doesn't know anything about the three corpse insects, let alone her mother's family! That Diao slave must have bad intentions and deliberately planted it! ”
"Whether it is planted or not, it is not the mother's decision, but it depends on the credentials." But Chunjia hasn't returned yet
Answer, the regent said contemptuously, "At the beginning, the former queen and Your Majesty both thought that Lu Chongyi was the culprit of this matter, because the concubine who entered the palace during His Majesty's wedding, only Lu Chongyi was unhindered, and the rest were harmed by the three corpse insects. ”
"But what if this is the real culprit who did it deliberately in order to get away with it?"
"Ridiculous!" Yi Guogong frowned and scolded, "As a concubine, who doesn't want to spread the branches for His Majesty?" How can you even harm yourself? Especially before His Majesty is this year, his knees have been empty, and the palace is up and down, and everyone is worried about this! ”
The regent glanced at him and didn't say anything, but a purple-robed official walked out of his side, stroked his beard and said, "Yiguo Gong's words are too taken for granted!" Of course, the concubines want to spread the branches for Your Majesty, but this kind of blessing is not something that everyone can have. ”
He said euphemistically, who knows if anyone thinks that they don't have a chance to give birth anyway, so it is better to let others not be able to give birth?
For example, Jia Chongyuan and Jia Yuye are very likely.
After all, this person has never been top-notch in terms of position, from entering the palace at the time of the big wedding to the present, the position has basically not changed, and the situation has basically not moved, Chunjia is usually afraid that she can't remember her at all - so under jealousy, it is not impossible to murder other concubines!
Yiguo Gong directly scolded him for, not to mention how hidden the three corpses and insects are infesting, even a family like Luo's Ouyang clan has never heard of it, just say that Jia Yuye's status in the palace, she has this ability?
The official smiled and said meaningfully: "Jia Chongyuan has indeed never been in power in the palace, but he has not been treated badly. After all, it is the person who has been following the high positions. ”
At this point, before everyone could get to their senses, they heard the regent's cold words: "I remember that at that time, the imperial doctor consulted the six palaces, and the concubines who entered the palace during His Majesty's wedding, in addition to Lu Chongyi, there was one person who was safe and sound, that is, ...... Mrs. Chunke? ”
Everyone suddenly looked at Yuan Neem.
Yuan Neem Niang is not a person from the city government, and she reacted after being stunned, and she was furious: "Is the regent suspected that this palace instructed Jia Yuye to murder the sixth palace?!" ”
"Isn't Madame suspicious?" The regent glanced at her and asked lightly, "Madame has always been jealous, and she has not changed since she entered the palace as a concubine." Over the years, how many jealous things in the harem have nothing to do with Mrs.? Not to mention the frequent deaths and injuries of the palace concubines and palace maids in Huzhu Palace, everyone in the front and back harems knows about it! ”
"Although Your Majesty is not obsessed with beauty, as an emperor, there are some harem concubines after all. Although they are not all intimate, they live in the court all the year round, and their relationships are far and near. For example, the former queen and Kang Jieyu are sisters, and Concubine Zhenxi is rumored to be very friendly with Mrs. Yaoning...... Only. Madam, with His Majesty's childhood sweetheart, he is self-conscious and despises the Six Palaces! ”
"If there is a person in this palace who hopes that the concubines of the sixth palace will not come out, to be honest, except for Madame, there is no one else!"
Yuan Neem said angrily: "Even so-"
"Even if Lady Chun Ke is indeed a childhood sweetheart with His Majesty, so her relationship with the harem sisters is not so close, the regent deduces that she murdered the concubines of the six palaces
, is it a bit arbitrary? As soon as Yun Fenghuang heard her say this, he knew that it was going to be bad, his mind was racing, and he suddenly interrupted, looked at the regent, and said, "According to what the regent said, the prince of the regent is now at this age, but the marriage has not yet been settled, can it be said that the eldest son of the regent, who is mean and worthy, does not love the prince?" ”
The regent glanced at her, and Sen Ran shouted: "Ask Mrs. Chunke about the matter of the emperor's heir, how can you, the daughter of a humble family, have a place to speak!" ”
Yun Fenghuang was furious in his heart, and his face sank: "The imperial heir, it is His Majesty's imperial heir!" Now the Empress Dowager and the two Empress Dowagers are sick and unable to attend the feast. Your Majesty's wife has escaped into the empty door! There is no owner in the harem, the palace is ordered to take the power of the six palaces, temporarily acting as His Majesty's internal help, and the regent asks the palace concubine in public, why can't the palace point out the flaws? ! ”
There was still a reasonable rebuttal here, but she sneered and said loudly, "Besides, no matter how humble the background of this palace is, it is also above Concubine Xu in the past!" The regent thinks that this palace is the daughter of a poor family, but he doesn't know where to put his biological mother?! ”
The concubine Xu she said was the biological mother of the regent, who was said to be a palace maid and had long since passed away.
This is equivalent to pointing at the regent's nose and scolding him for despising his biological mother - the regent was furious: "Cheap maid dares!! ”
"Uncle Wang!" Yun Fenghuan was not to be outdone and wanted to fight back, but Chunjia put the wine cup in his hand on the imperial case at this time, waved her hand to silence her, and the young son of heaven lowered his eyes slightly, looked at the regent, and said slowly, "Is there enough trouble?" ”
