Chapter 32: Misunderstanding
Yun Fenghuang was in a much better mood after sending Concubine Xie away, and asked left and right: "Didn't Concubine Xie come over and tell Niangniang what good news?" ”
"Not really." Yun Fenghuang smiled, "It's just that it's funny to look at her lost soul." ”
Qingdu and the others heard the malice towards Concubine Xie in these words, so they asked politely, do they not need to take care of Concubine Xie in the future?
"As before, there is no need to deduct the shares, but there is no need to be too face-saving either." Yun Fenghuang thought for a while and ordered, "Call those new concubines in private, and find some trouble for her if you have nothing to do, the kind that is inconsequential but responsive." ”
If this is a normal time, Concubine Xie provoked her anger, and it would be okay to cook it directly.
Anyway, whether it is Chunjia or the Yiguo Mansion, they actually don't care much about this Yun family's concubine.
But......
Now that the emperor is about to reuse the Yun family's children, it is not so appropriate for the biological daughter of the Duke of Yiguo to have an accident with his grandson.
The most important thing is that Chunjia was still trying to help her get angry just now, and she started with Concubine Xie, so she couldn't help but seem to care too much about the emperor's thoughts and arrangements.
Anyway, I just scared Concubine Xie, and then there will be a little bit of turmoil, and it is estimated that Concubine Xie's life will not be too easy.
As for Concubine Xie's torture method in this environment, Yun Fenghuang doesn't care, this cheap handkerchief has never thought about her before, she has sheltered this person who has been safe and stable in the palace until now, and has given birth to a prince, isn't it?
In a blink of an eye, when it was time to return to the imperial capital, Gu Zhen sent someone to invite Yun Fenghuang to Woxia Tower to speak: "The Empress Dowager has been saying that the phoenix body has violated the harmony since Shanyuanguan came back, and even the invitation to be safe has stopped. But now that we are about to set off, you and I must always go to greet one or two, so as not to make her old man's road uncomfortable. ”
In fact, the queen went alone, and the reason why she wanted to call the concubine was because she was afraid that the queen mother would bring up something that she would not be able to answer again, and hoped that the concubine would be present to deal with it.
Yun Fenghuang knew it and didn't object, so the two concubines went to ask for peace together.
The Empress Dowager asked them to wait for a while before they came out, and their ruddy faces did not look like they were lying sick, but they were well fed and drunk during this time, and their bodies and bones were stronger.
Of course, the concubine would not poke her, and still greeted her cautiously in front of the glass man, and mentioned the return trip.
"It's not the first time you've come to the palace, how was it in previous years, it's okay this year." After hearing this, the Empress Dowager said lukewarmly, "The mourning family has nothing to tell you here." There is one thing, if you don't come today, the mourning family plans to send someone to summon you in the next two days to ask: It is said that Hui's marriage has been brought up? ”
Gu Zhen was depressed when he mentioned this matter, glanced at Yun Fenglian, and saw that she lowered her eyebrows and did not mean to speak, so she reluctantly said: "Yes, the emperor's grandmother, it is His Majesty who is personally asking, saying that the first emperor is such a concubine, and he must find a wishful horse." I can't tell my sister to mistake the flower letter...... The imperial grandmother Mingjian, whether it is His Majesty or his granddaughter-in-law, has no intention of not tolerating her sister. In fact, as far as my sister is innocent and cute, His Majesty and granddaughter-in-law are eager for her to be in front of her every day. It's just that if it is for our liking, let my sister stay in the palace all the time, but how can the first emperor under Jiuquan feel at ease? ”
The Empress Dowager didn't scold her this time with Princess Minghui, as if she had completely forgotten what happened last time, and only said, "Then whose son does Your Majesty like?" ”
Gu Zhen shook his head: "Your Majesty said that the first emperor's concubine is not trivial, and the candidate for the concubine must be carefully considered, and it can't be the same as last time, so that my sister will be wronged again." ”
The Empress Dowager looked at Yun Fenghuan and said, "What about the concubine?" Does the concubine know? ”
This scene made Gu Zhenqi's chest hurt, she didn't speak clearly as the queen, and the empress dowager still had to ask the concubine, making it clear that she was not favored and trusted by the emperor, so the emperor would not tell her about this kind of thing.
Fortunately, Yun Fenghuang also shook his head and said that the emperor was still considering.
"Then I'll talk about it when I get back to the palace." The Empress Dowager nodded and let them go.
After going out, the concubine immediately went her separate ways.
In the evening, Qingshu's wife Cui Lianye personally came to the Lanzhou Night Rain Pavilion to ask for a meeting.
This Cui family's presence in the palace in recent years is similar to that of Concubine Xie, as well as Jia Yuye's distinctness, and Yun Fenghuang doesn't remember her very much.
When she heard this, she was a little surprised, and she summoned someone to her, but she was not polite, and asked her directly.
Cui Lianye looked at the noble concubine with gorgeous makeup, and her mood was very complicated.
It's been more than two years, and Baolin, who first entered the palace, has grown a little more eyebrows, becoming more and more beautiful and bright, and there is also the arrogance and calmness that only fearless high-ranking concubines have between words and demeanors, what about himself? At the age of twenty, he is not old, but he is not young at this time.
Because of the decline of his father Cui Wan's power and the emperor's coldness, it bloomed like a flower in a lonely corner.
If it has been blooming like this, it can be regarded as maintaining a high and arrogant attitude from beginning to end.
But since he took over the second prince, he was destined to be unable to handle this posture.
"Niangniang, the concubine is here for the second prince." Cui Lianye settled down, blessed the blessing, and said, "The second prince suffered a lot of damage before, and the imperial doctor said that it is good to have that good official Yan and make up for the second prince." The concubine's official swallow is not as good as Niangniang's here, so she dared to ask Niangniang for some gifts. ”
Yun Fenghuang glanced at her unexpectedly and said, "What else does this palace think is it, it's worth your personal trip?" ”
Just ask her how much.
Cui Lian was busy saying that the second prince couldn't eat too much at his age: "Just give some to the mother." ”
Yun Fenghuang asked the Qing people to go to his treasury to get some: "The palace is about to leave for the back, and there are not many in the Lanzhou Night Rain Pavilion. You let the second prince eat, and when you return to the palace, the palace will let someone send it to you. ”
"Xie Niangniang." Cui Lianye showed a little shame, as if she remembered the difficulties and dislikes of Yun Fenghuang in the past, and thanked her again and again with shame, and said that when the second prince was well, she would definitely bring him over to thank the concubine for her grace, and then she retired and left.
When she left, Yun Fenghuang asked Qingren: "What's going on with Mrs. Qingshu?" Anyway, she is also a lady, Cui Wan hasn't fallen yet, why can't you eat the best official swallows? ”
"It's not that you can't eat it." Qing Ren hurriedly explained, "It's just that last year said that it was a disaster, and there are not many good officials and swallows who came up, and the queen mother and the two queen mothers must be picked first, and then you will come down." Then there are now Concubine Niangniang, Concubine De Niangniang and some people in Luo Zhaoyi, and when they go to Mrs. Qingshu, they may not be so good. In the end, it is the main position in the palace, according to the instructions of the mother, what should be given is also given. Even Concubine Xie's side has never been left behind. ”
In the past two years, Yun Fenghuan has actually made the decisions in the palace affairs, and she has a rule that unless she orders it, how much should be the number of cases everywhere, and it is not allowed to be deducted because of the scarcity of favor, otherwise once it is discovered, the person in charge is counted as one, don't think about it.
Even if the Qing people are close servants, they don't dare to disobey, of course they are afraid of being considered as Yang Fengyin violating Cui Lianye's things.
"Since the second prince has come to her, it will be better for her to be there in the future." In fact, this explanation is half-true and half-false, the best official swallows are carefully selected, and it is indeed impossible to have everything, but it is still no problem to supply the lords - the families of the important ministers can be rewarded, how can the concubines in the palace not have enough points?
The main reason is that Mrs. Qingshu has no favor during this time, and her mother's family has also lost power, although Yun Fenghuang ordered that it should not be deducted, but the person in charge did not want to please her.
So I gave her a more inferior one.
For example, Yunfeng Huang's imperial favor is grand, that is, since he was Jieyu, many treatments have been on par with the four concubines......
This tacit understanding is clear in his heart, and he has no intention of investigating it thoroughly, after all, this is human nature.
Carefully speaking, she herself is still a beneficiary, and she can't cross the river and tear down the bridge.
Anyway, as long as the people below can't be picked out on the bright side, she doesn't care, originally, as a concubine, the ability to compete for favor is not up to par, and it is natural that she has almost passed.
She's a very merciful person who doesn't let the buckle go.
Well, the main thing is that I don't want some people to come out and do things for the sake of a good mouthful.
After all, who knows that there is no second one like him, he didn't want to cause trouble, just because he felt that his life was uncomfortable, and then he ......
Anyway, she doesn't want these things to come out, spending the money of the inner treasury to fulfill her generosity, what's wrong?
At this moment, Yun Fenghuang said lightly, "Although the second prince's biological mother is the daughter of a criminal minister, in the end it is also His Majesty's blood and blood, and he has suffered so much in the hands of Concubine Shu before, it is really pitiful, it is rare that Mrs. Qingshu is attentive to him, let's also take care of it, so as not to worry His Majesty." ”
Both left and right felt that Chunjia didn't care about this imperial heir, but the concubine said so, and they should also go.
After all, if there is any prince among the princes besides King Qin, which prince they are most willing to take care of, that is, the second prince and the third prince.
Because of the biological mothers of these two, whether Chunjia or the ministers, unless they have to do so, they will never be allowed to have the opportunity to enter the East Palace.
Not even a chance to let them take power in the future......
In this way, taking care of these two is the least risky, and it can also show the kindness and thoughtfulness of the concubine.
A few days later, it was the day when the Empress Dowager returned to the imperial capital, and the road was generally safe, but the reason why it was said overall was because Concubine Yuan Xian did not eat and bumped on the way, and she had a tire.
After the diagnosis of the doctor, it was not suitable to move on.
But whether it is Chunjia or the Empress Dowager, it is impossible for the entire Sixth Palace and the accompanying courtiers to stay and wait for her.
So in the end, the people were settled in the post station, and the imperial doctor and others were left to take care of it, and it was just that.
Originally, Gu Zhen meant that considering that Yuan Yanniang was pregnant and couldn't take care of herself, she would leave a concubine to take care of her.
However, after asking the meaning of the concubines, no one was willing, and Yuan Yuniang herself said that she didn't need it, and there were people in charge of the palace who were on her side.
In the end, the matter was over.
This is not because Yuan Yiniang's popularity is so bad, it is mainly because of Yunfenghuang.
Previously, for the canonization of the four concubines by the queen mother's niece, the queen concubine competed with the mother queen mother for several days, and finally barely saved the face of the heavenly family under the personal round of the Son of Heaven, so as not to tear it too much.
Whoever stays with Yuan Yiniang now may get the gratitude of Yuan's aunt and nephew, but it will definitely incur the disgust of the concubine.
Even Gu Zhen herself wouldn't want to open this mouth if she wasn't the queen, she didn't have much opinion on Yuan Yuniang, but she had a big opinion on Yuan Yuniang. Hates the house and Wu, Queen Gu actually doesn't like Yuan Yuniang either.
Moreover, who knows what the result will be if Yuan Yanniang has a fetal gas this time, in case there are three long and two short, the person who stays to take care of it may have no reactive power, how to calculate it and how to draw it.
Therefore, the queen agreed to Yuan Yuniang's proposal and let her stay alone at the post station to rest, and when the situation stabilized and then continued to go to the imperial capital, the concubines were relieved.
This is especially true for a few newly promoted concubines, who are afraid that the queen will pick soft persimmons and pinch them, and call them to stay and take care of Yuan Yiniang.
So the emperor left the imperial palace guards for Yuan Yuniang, and continued to serve the empress dowager back to the palace, and after some hard work, the sixth palace had to go to the two queen mothers who stayed in the palace "due to illness" to say goodbye.
Originally, everyone was familiar with this kind of cutscene, anyway, they just said hard work to each other, asked about the latest situation, and said a few polite words, and then they dispersed.
But today, the empress dowager pulled the concubines to ask a lot about the palace, and then euphemistically expressed her regret that she had been detained in the Chunyu Palace for the past two years.
Empress Gu then gave a very stylized comfort to her condition, and the Empress Dowager's face instantly turned cold, and she turned to talk to Concubine Shu.
After retiring from her, Gu Zhen quietly asked Yun Fenghuan: "What do you think the Empress Dowager of Mother and Mother means?" ”
"What else could it mean?" Yun Fenghuang knew the inside story early in the morning, but it was not difficult to guess Empress Dowager Yuan's thoughts at this moment, and sneered slightly, "The situation of the two empress dowagers can't help but be tiring, so despite the heat of Futian, they can't go to the palace that is not far away, let alone Fuyang County." But staying in your own palace for years is boring enough. In this case, why not set up a banquet for them in the palace, do some singing, dancing, juggling and the like, and it is best to invite the children of Xingningbo Mansion into the palace, so that the Empress Dowager can enjoy the joy of family? ”
Gu Zhenyi frowned and said, "Could it be that the Empress Dowager wants Her Royal Highness the eldest princess of the Yuan family, Shang Minghui?" ”
"......" Yun Fenghuang was a little speechless at her thoughts, and pondered for a while before saying, "Your Majesty didn't say this. ”
Gu Zhen was preoccupied and said, "Do you have a way to push this matter?" Hongu felt that it was inappropriate. ”
"Minghui treats Niangniang like that, does Niangniang still have to think about her?" Yun Fenghuang glanced at her, and wanted to smile without smiling, "And with Minghui's stupid appearance, it's a good thing that the Pony family doesn't have any skills, otherwise even if she is the only concubine of the first emperor, she may not be able to protect her for a long time." ”
"Even so, you still don't know the grievances between the Empress Dowager and the concubine Ji Sheng?" Gu Zhen glanced left and right, and saw that everyone else didn't dare to get close to listen to the queen and the concubine, so he whispered, "If Minghui enters the Yuan family's gate, how can life be better?" This palace knows that you have been in the palace for a short time and have not received the favor of Minghui, but when this palace begs you, you managed to stir up this matter, and this palace owes you a favor, how about it? And if this matter becomes a bad thing for you, you want the Empress Dowager to let her nephew Shang Minghui, in addition to the possibility of revenge on the concubine Ji Sheng, eighty percent also hope to use Minghui's identity to benefit the Ningbo Mansion! Do you want the Mansion to prosper? ”
Yun Fenghuang looked at her for a while, and smiled meaningfully: "Okay." ”
This kind of thing that can be appreciated by doing nothing is naturally not refused, but such a refreshing response made Gu Zhen stunned for a while, and then turned his head suspiciously.
The Sixth Palace followed and then arrived at the Jiashan Palace.
Empress Dowager Qu has always been a little cold here, but now she is very simple, she asked people to stop at the door, under the pretext that she was uncomfortable, and only let the queen and the concubine enter to greet her, and the others were dismissed on the spot.
