Yun Fenghuang felt strange when he heard this, and said: "The queen mother wants to take the princesses and county lords to live in Shanyuanguan, just go by yourself, why do you want to bring the concubines?" ”

In fact, if it is an ordinary family, the old lady takes her daughters to live in the Taoist temple for a few days, and it is natural for the daughter-in-law to accompany her.

But the situation of the heavenly family is different, not to mention this kind of "old lady", there are four people in the palace, and one of them is still above the Empress Dowager Ji, it is impossible for the "daughters-in-law" to leave the Empress Dowager Yuan and the Empress Dowager Qu and the Empress Dowager to accompany the Empress Dowager Ji out?

Moreover, Empress Dowager Ji has an arrogant temperament, and she is still a little calm towards Queen Ji and Ji Duzi, who are her nieces and nieces, and she has never been sincere towards other concubines.

In the past, the Ji family was in power, no matter whether they were happy or not, the harem couldn't help but flatter the Empress Dowager Ji.

At this time, the limelight of the harem has changed, and even if the concubines will not turn their faces immediately, they don't need to be so flattering as before. In addition, Concubine Shu and Concubine Xin have had accidents one after another, the concubine is still recuperating her body, Yue Jieyu is pregnant, and the only ones who are suitable for going out are Mrs. Yaoning, Yun Fenghuang and Lu Jia Wei Jieyu Emperor is not going, a queen mother who has lost her position is not the emperor's mother or adoptive mother, can she compare with Chun Jia, who is gradually gaining the upper hand and is still in the prime of life?

Empress Dowager Ji issued such an invitation, isn't she afraid that no one will pay attention to it except the queen, and it will be embarrassing in vain?

"Back to my mother's words." The little palace maid pursed her lips and whispered, "I've heard people say before that Shanyuanguan is very effective, Her Royal Highness Princess Minghui got it after the Queen Mother went over there to do a few blessing dojos." Before that, the Queen Mother took a lot of medicines, and she used all kinds of prescriptions, but she never moved...... It is probably for this reason that the Queen Mother and the Queen Mother want to ask you if you are going? ”

In fact, veteran concubines such as Gu Zhen, Lu Jieyu, and Jia Jieyu have been there before, and more than once, so they don't count on it.

But you can take people from the palace with you.

After all, although the heirs born by the palace concubines cannot be compared with their own children, when the concubines are happy one after another, and they see that Chunjia's knees are about to prosper, it is better than nothing.

"It turned out to be for a son." Yun Fenghuang smiled and said, "There is no need to go to this palace for this matter, you go down and ask Yi Yuwan if you want to go." If you want to go, the palace will go to the queen mother. ”

The little palace maid promised to go down to spread the word, Yi Xingen was already pregnant, and she was doing her best to protect the fetus, and she knew that there were happy concubines before, and the concubines and concubines did not end well, and Yue Jieyu also flowed once, of course, it was closely followed by the main position Yun Feng Huang, Yun Feng Huang didn't go, and she wouldn't go.

As for the other palace concubines, they want to come and go, after all, although Empress Dowager Ji has a princess in Shanyuanguan, with Chunjia's current situation of thin heirs, regardless of whether it is a man or a woman, she will definitely pay attention to it. And as a biological mother, even if she is not qualified to raise herself, she will eventually have something to rely on.

It's just that when the words came to his lips, he thought about the actions of the lord in the past two days, and swallowed again: "The concubines are afraid of disturbing the queen mother, so they should not go." ”

Yun Fenghuang only took off the hairpin with the Empress Dowager Yuan, and he didn't know what he thought of the Empress Dowager Ji.

Maybe if you don't go to the Taoist temple this time, you have the intention of alienating the Empress Dowager Ji?

So where do the palace concubines dare to go to the Taoist temple with the Empress Dowager Ji?

You must know these people in Xuanqing Palace, the emperor is only afraid that by now, he will remember Yi Xingen, Yun Qingman and Qu Hongzhen. But there are not many times to take the initiative to roll call, and the sleeping rooms of the concubines in the plain palace are all arranged by Yun Fenglian.

No matter how effective the Taoist temple is, the lord will not be happy, and he will not be able to summon this person directly, and he will not let the emperor summon him at all, how can he get pregnant?

Therefore, after discussing it privately for a while, I felt that it was better not to take risks, so I rejected them all.

After receiving the news, Yun Fenghuang snorted slightly, and asked Chen Zhu to go back to the queen, saying that Empress Dowager Ji's kindness was understood, but Yi Xingen was pregnant and inconvenient to move, and she needed to stay and take care of herself as the lord, and the other palace people didn't dare to bother, so she didn't bother to go to Queen Ji After knowing the news, she didn't bother to care, but sent someone to see when the emperor would come to Lanzhou Night Rain Pavilion.

She has the right-hand man she misses, but she is still waiting outside the palace!

If the emperor didn't open his mouth about this, the queen would definitely not agree.

Emperor Chunjia came in the afternoon of the next day in the light rain, the mountains were full of trees, and the rain was not heavy, only the sound of swaying could be heard, and the forest was like a piece of empty silky mist. Therefore, the emperor did not call for an umbrella, so he stepped on the Tingbu stone in the courtyard and went to the corridor.

He is handsome and long, he is in the best years, and when he is gradually gaining the upper hand and is in high spirits, his pace cannot help but be a little brisk. The hair tips and eyelashes were stained with water droplets like rain and dew, which added a bit of dust.

Crab shell green silk weaving gold often wears. When it gets wet, it turns black, and it looks like a splash of ink. Between walking, the mountain wind blows the big sleeves and flies, as if to ride the wind back.

Yun Fenghuang, who received the news and came out to greet him, saw it, and hurriedly stepped forward to wipe it with a handkerchief, and asked someone to boil ginger soup.

"Why is there such a big fight?" Chunjia stopped with a smile, "In the summer, just a few steps, I feel that I am still more sober in the rain at this time, otherwise I will be groggy after half a day of folding in the Awakening Heart Hall." ”

Yun Fenghuang said angrily: "Your Majesty is so old and still messing around like this, the mountains are cold, it's not a joke, let's just drink a few sips of ginger soup." Otherwise, if there is a headache and brain fever, not only the concubines are distressed, but the mother and queen mother, how anxious should they be? ”

"Concubine Ai seems to have changed in the past two days." How young is it, although Jiang's hands are heavy, after two nights, coupled with the hot compress and medicine, the traces on Yun Fenghuang's face have faded a lot, and he can't see it very clearly when he pounces on two layers of fat powder.

When the emperor heard this, he lowered his eyes and looked at her a few times, and saw that she was wearing peach blossom makeup today, which was lighter than wine makeup, but the cheeks were dipped in purple gold powder to outline the pattern of tangled vines, which seemed to be decorative, but in fact covered up the remaining bruises, and felt a little funny in his heart, stretched out his fingers and pinched her cheeks, deliberately pinched a small bunch of vines, and said, "Look at the bearing of a virtuous concubine in ancient times." ”

If this was before, even if Yun Fenghuang wiped the water droplets for him and said distressed words, the attitude was perfunctory, I was afraid that he wouldn't be able to see it.

Although he doesn't see much sincerity at the moment, at least the corners of his eyes and eyebrows really have a little concern for him, even if the emperor knows that he is pretending, he is willing to pretend!

"Your Majesty said this, since you have entered the palace as a concubine, of course you must take those virtuous concubines in ancient times as an example." Yun Fenghuan didn't know that the gold dust had been removed, and the bruises had revealed something, so he said generously, "It's just that the concubine is young, and the days of entering the palace are short, so she can't learn well for a while." Now His Majesty feels that the concubine has a bit of grace, which shows that the concubine's efforts these days have not been in vain! ”

Chunjia looked at her with a smile: "Well, Concubine Ai is very attentive these days. ”

Angry with his heart, mouthed with his heart, and, with his heart, demon...... In ancient times, virtuous concubines wanted her to be virtuous, and there were no many kings on the stall who lived for ten years.

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your compliment." Yun Fenghuang pretended not to hear his counter-words, and took advantage of the situation to be coquettish, "Then does Your Majesty have any rewards?" ”

While speaking, the two of them had already sat down, and Chunjia raised his eyebrows slightly when he heard this, and said, "Didn't you just get something from the queen mother?" ”

"That's the grace of the Queen Mother to the concubine." Yun Fenghuang Zhenzhen said, "Since the concubine entered the palace, she has finally been praised by the Empress Dowager, and your majesty does not encourage the concubine?" ”

When she said this, she showed a very unhappy expression, and her beautiful face made such a look, looking pitiful and cute.

The emperor smiled and was silent for a while, and when he saw that she was really anxious, he leaned over and pulled his sleeves between the two of them, and then said, "That's it, I will also reward you with some hairpin ring jewelry." ”

"Is the concubine the kind of person who will only stare at His Majesty's private treasury?" Yun Fenghuang hurriedly said, "Your Majesty Xu Concubine has other things?" ”

The emperor squinted at her: "Who was the one who made a sad face when he entered the palace for a hairpin rewarded by the queen, and he had to promise to make up for her before he broke into a smile?" ”

"Not really!" Yun Fenghuang resolutely denied it, "The concubine didn't mention His Majesty's things at all, it was His Majesty who gave the concubine himself!" ”

"Well, you don't." The emperor blew the tea slowly and said with a smile, "But I have to be careful, what should you do?" ”

He seemed to be in a good mood today, and pretended to tease Yun Fenghuan for a while, before he reluctantly agreed to let the Jiang family send some people to serve in Xuanqing Palace, saying to her: "I haven't seen you like this concubine, let alone try to serve me by all means,

But I tried my best to find something to do for me, so I easily took care of government affairs, and it was rare to come to the harem to take a breath, and I also asked you to support the group! ”

"Your Majesty has worked hard!" Yun Fenghuan's goal was achieved, but the matter had not yet been implemented, so he was extremely attentive, and when he heard this, he was busy squeezing his shoulder, and said with a smile, "Your Majesty is the best!" ”

After making such a fuss, she rolled her eyes, and asked the emperor tentatively, what is the good news today?

"I don't know if it's good news." The emperor smiled peacefully when he heard this, and he didn't hide it, "It's just that I'm discussing with Cui Shangshu and a few of them, and I'll open Enke next year." ”

The national dynasty followed the previous dynasty and selected scholars by imperial examination.

Scholars start from the county examination, go through the township examination to the general examination, and are selected at all levels, so that they are eligible to ascend to the Jinluan Palace and participate in the examination presided over by the Son of Heaven himself, and from then on they are the protégés of the Son of Heaven.

From the time he ascended the throne to the present, Chunjia has been very skilled in presiding over the examination, but before he was set up in the air, nominally his protégé, but in fact, God knows who it is.

At this time, there has finally been some progress in seizing power, but next year is not the time to try, in order to prevent the situation of a single force and a long night dream, you can only add Enke and quickly promote people.

After Yun Fenghuang was slightly stunned, he felt that this was the right thing to do, and congratulated him with a smile: "That concubine wishes Your Majesty a successful choice, the monarch and the ministers are of the same heart, and the prosperity is always there!" ”

"I heard that you have a brother who is a good student?" Chunjia smiled when he heard this, and suddenly asked, "I won the move a few years ago, but I haven't come to Dijing to participate in the exam?" ”

“…… Is Your Majesty talking about the thirteenth brother of the concubine? Yun Fenghuan was stunned for a moment, and after thinking for a while, he asked uncertainly, "The thirteenth brother of the concubine body did win the move a few years ago, but the literary style of the northern land is not prosperous, and I am afraid that after coming to the imperial capital, I will see the national elite showing their ugliness, so I hesitate." ”

The thirteenth brother she said was her second brother, that is, Xiao Chen's husband Xie Xiaoliu, who was thirteen in the ranking.

Because he is not the eldest son, he has been pressed by the Jiang family to study hard since he was a child. According to Xixi, Xie Xiaoliu actually had the strength to be named on the gold list three or two years ago, but the Xie family, a big family that concentrates on the development of Sangzi, generally gets the lifting of people, that is, he will not enter Beijing to take the Jinshi examination.

Of course, the reason is not Yun Fenghuang's so-called fear that he will not be able to take the entrance examination in Dijing.

Instead, in the local area, the identity of the person is proud enough to be in the township, and he is called a brother and sister to the court officials. For example, a descendant like Xie Xiaoliu is not treated badly in the clan, and basically will not consider leaving his hometown. But there are only a few people on the Xingbang list for three years, and they still go home to live after passing the exam, not to mention that the court will not allow this kind of thing, this move is tantamount to offending many candidates who have failed the list, and it is very unacceptable;

Second, the person can already be awarded an official. Although the Beijing official is not in turn with the fat shortage, it is still no problem to be a county commander in a remote place.

According to the plan of the Jiang family and Xie Jian, after Xie Xiliu was moved, he followed his eldest brother Xie Xiye to accept some family affairs, mainly responsible for the contact with the government, and carefully figured out the way of becoming an official in the country...... When he is almost figured out, the family will pay for activities and let him become a magistrate for several terms.

Of course, this is not to ask Xie Xiaoliu to apply what he has learned to benefit the people, but to accumulate some family business while maintaining the prestige of the family. lest the family be divided in the future, and as the second son, he will not be able to share much property, and his life will not be easy......

Yun Fenghuang thought of his family's plans for this brother, and when he saw the emperor's head, he asked tentatively: "Why did Your Majesty suddenly think of him?" Didn't he do something wrong? Your Majesty will allow the concubine to beg for a favor, and the thirteenth brother of the concubine is quite upright and pedantic, although his actions are occasionally unpleasant, but his heart is really good. ”

Calculating the time, if the thirteenth brother is not surprised, he should have already taken office as a county magistrate under the activities at home...... Should you start scraping the ground as soon as you take office, which will make people sue you?

Is he so stupid?

The reason why the family arranged for him to sharpen himself before going out was to avoid being too poor and too explicit in his greedy methods, not to mention that it would bring a tired family reputation!

Planted so quickly, it doesn't look like she was born with a mother!

was slandering, but found that the emperor looked at her with a smile and looked at her inexplicably, and for a moment, he was sure that she didn't know why, and the emperor said slowly: "Your thirteenth brother will almost arrive in the imperial capital in two days." ”
