Chapter 224: Ice Water

"The concubine only came to the imperial capital three years ago, and she didn't go out of the gate, let alone after entering the palace." Yun Fenghuang said pitifully, but she became more and more sure that she was going to be hidden by the bird, after all, she asked Chunjia for this before, when did Chunjia agree to be so happy?

She grinded her teeth secretly and said softly, "How do you know so much?" However, I chatted with Zhaorong two days ago, and I heard her mention that there are two families of girls who are very good......"

Chunjia listened unhurriedly to her introduction of the two families, and suddenly sneered, and said, "Oh, you said these two families, just now the queen mother also told me, and she also said that their girls are not bad." ”

Yun Fenghuang was stunned when he heard this, and his heart was a "gurgle", why did Empress Dowager Yuan suddenly say such a thing? Isn't it...... Xingning Bofu begged the Empress Dowager Yuan, and also wanted to marry the girls of these two families?

The two families she said, on the family and Wei Hengyan's family, half a catty to eight taels, the strength is second to the Ji family, but the generations of hairpins have a deep foundation, and the family style is low-key and introverted, so they are not in this circle, and they don't know much about it.

If it weren't for Wei Hengyan's introduction, Yun Fenghuang wouldn't have heard much of it at all.

At this moment, I can't help but suspect that Xingning Bofu is too easy to win, the foundation is unstable, Yuan Neem Niang's card is invalid again, and she also wants to use marriage to revitalize the family Sheng is thinking about how to kill this opponent, and as a result, she heard Chunjia say: "The queen mother said that the women of these two families are virtuous and suitable for children, and they plan to hire them into the palace in the coming year...... I originally thought that the reputation of a woman from a wealthy family was good on the outside, but I don't know what happened on the inside. But since the concubines all say that they are good, then it should be really good. ”

Yun Fenghuang: "......"

She calmed down before saying, "I see, it's the concubine Meng Lang, and I ask Your Majesty for forgiveness." ”

Chunjia looked at her and said slowly, "It's okay...... He who does not know is not guilty. ”

After he said this, Yun Fenghuang pursed his lips and was silent.

There was a moment of silence in the room, and the atmosphere gradually stiffened.

Just when Chunjia frowned slightly and was about to say something, there were footsteps outside, followed by Xie Hengyu hesitantly knocked on the door, and whispered: "Niangniang, the little lady's things have been packed, do you want to send the little lady out of the palace now, or wait a while?" ”

"You want to send Meng'er out of the palace?" Before Yun Fenghuang could answer, Chunjia had already asked coldly, "Why?" ”

"Your Majesty, Meng'er has been in the palace for a few days." Yun Fenghuang looked at him strangely, and said casually, "First, she misses her parents, and secondly, the concubine is getting busier and busier in the next year, where can she have time to take care of her?" So, of course, I had to send her back. Anyway, when the year is over, I will take her in when I miss her...... When the time comes, Your Majesty won't allow it, right? ”

Chunjia raised his voice first and said to the outside: "I'll talk about it later, take Meng'er to go first and rest later." ”

Fumian said expressionlessly, "Really? I also thought that Concubine Ai regarded this palace as a tiger's den in Longtan, for fear that Meng'er would be wronged if she continued to stay! ”

"What did Your Majesty say? Who in this palace doesn't know your love for the concubine body, as well as your love for Meng'er. Yun Fenghuang said lightly, "Meng'er came to live in the palace, and the sister-in-law of the concubine was only afraid that she would be spoiled and slack off on her homework, how could she worry that she would be wronged?" ”

When she said this, her mind was racing, Chunjia's life experience, as well as the experience of being a puppet in the past eight years, were used to forbearance.

Seeing through it is a ridicule of later generations, but it is a habit engraved into his bones.

After all, he was born and experienced, and many times, even if he knew it, he didn't have any position at all, or rather, he didn't have any bottom

Angry.

Therefore, he bluntly said that Empress Dowager Yuan would hire a newcomer in the coming year, and directly said that the two women that Yun Fenghuang fancied were on the list of entering the palace...... It won't be an unintentional mistake.

He did it on purpose.

Why?

To reject her?

No, with Chunjia's shrewdness, if you just want to refuse, there are excuses and reasons, and you can't tell the truth.

Beat?

It's not right, Chunjia knows her temperament too well, she really wants to be deterred, how can she be more ruthless, she won't take this level of warning to heart at all.

Test?

Yun Feng said in his heart, this is possible...... The question is, what does he want to probe?

Hiring newcomers, or noble girls from families who have a good family background and know how to be cautious in words and deeds, enter the palace, the purpose is nothing more than to further elevate the Ji family.

It can also be understood as replacing the role of Yun Feng Huang in the six palaces now.

This is to euphemistically tell her that after the beginning of the year, it is best to learn from the current Empress Ji, hand over the palace power on the grounds of illness, and leave the stage with dignity?

“…… It's all a scene, just listen to it, Your Majesty. Yun Fenghuan squinted slightly, suddenly changed his sitting position, leaned back on the chair, leaned against the armrest, and said in a lazy tone, "Actually, it's because Your Majesty hasn't come over these days, even though the concubine is quite strict in training the people under her, but there are also some people who are not long-sighted, and they are worried in private, afraid that the concubine will fall out of favor, and the life of Xuanqing Palace will not be easy in the future...... I was afraid that it would reach Meng'er's ears, so I wanted to send her back. ”

Chunjia's expressionless face softened slightly, and said lightly: "Then I am here now." ”

Yun Fenghuang said: "I still have to send her back, the Xie family is in the north, and the degree of food and clothing can be regarded as brocade clothes and jade food, but when it comes to the degree of refinement, where can it be compared with the palace?" In the past few days when Meng'er came to stay, the degree of picky eating has reached a higher level. The aunt beside her has already come to tell the concubine twice, and she can change it if she lowers her share at this time. If she keeps it like this, I'm afraid that if she goes back to her parents, she won't get used to it. ”

"In the end, it is easy to go from thrift to luxury, and it is difficult to go from luxury to thrift."

She was talking about Xie Meng, but Chunjia felt that she was also talking about herself.

It was easy to jump from a mere treasure forest to a true concubine in charge of the palace, but after falling from such a situation, it was difficult.

He was silent for a while, and suddenly said: "After all, the Ji family is the wife of my wife, and she is still in Shaohua, even if she has no children, she can't be easily abandoned." She has been bedridden for many years, and it is natural that the six palaces are handed over to the concubines. ”

This is a promise, even if Empress Dowager Yuan hires a noble girl with a good background to enter the palace, she will not take away all her current palace power?

Instead, let her and those newcomers jointly rule the Sixth Palace?

Yun Fenghuang pursed his lips, but he didn't have much gratitude in his heart, but sneered a little, and said: "Your Majesty is very loving, but the concubine is shallow in virtue, and she is ashamed!" ”

Chunjia saw through her thoughts at a glance, and knew that this concubine thought that those newcomers who would be in charge as soon as they entered the palace had family backgrounds to support them, and since there was more than one person, how could those who were of similar origins enter the palace at the same time, how could they not group up and exclude her, a senior who was incompatible with them?

Even if Yun Fenghuang feels that his wrists are outstanding, in the end, two fists are invincible to four hands.

She felt that Chunjia's promise was not sincere at all.

The emperor was quite helpless: "The newcomer has a family background, don't you also have me?" ”

"......" Yun Fenghuang endured and endured, and finally couldn't hold back, and said directly, "Your Majesty, forgive the concubine for speaking bluntly: the concubine is just."

Even if you have you, you have all the opportunities and the world in mind, can you help the concubine all the time? And the newcomer's father and brother are all pillars of the country, and if you read it in their face, even if you favor the concubine in your heart, you can still criticize the daughter of the family? ! ”

Chunjia was a little silent for a while.

For the sake of Yun Fenghuan, harshly criticize those newcomers who are politically married?

Impossible.

The purpose of inviting them into the palace is to win over their family, and it would be good if they were not particularly favored, but if they were biased, this would not be a marriage, but a feud.

"Of course, the concubine is not complaining about anything, after all, with the background of the concubine, it is already Your Majesty's Gegarn to be able to have the current position and power." Yun Fenghuang didn't wait for him to open his mouth before he said, "The concubine just wants His Majesty to know that after the newcomer enters the palace, the concubine will inevitably suffer a lot of grievances. Even just thinking about it now, you have to send Meng'er away...... The concubine didn't want Meng'er to see the concubine's next panic and resentment. ”

She said lightly, "After all, the concubine has never been a tolerant, generous, virtuous and virtuous person, and she can't be those indifferent postures." ”

Chunjia's thin lips were pursed, and her gaze was complicated and indescribable.

After a moment, he said: "This harem is my harem. Now it is no longer the time of the Ji dynasty. Even if a noble lady is a concubine, she naturally has to abide by the palace rules. ”

The implication is that although it is not good to be clearly partial to Yun Fenghuan, as long as he follows the palace rules, those few people do something wrong, or are caught, he will still call the shots for Yun Fenghuan.

It's just that Yun Fenghuang doesn't believe in this promise very much, because who knows if there will be any newcomers in the coming year who can be his rival.

When the time comes, it is difficult to say whether Chunjia's heart will be on his side.

"Your Majesty." She was silent for a while, and said in her heart, but fortunately, since the Son of Heaven has the patience to accompany her to say so many words, at least for now, his heart is still in the Huanhua Palace.

Yun Fenghuang stretched out his hand and grabbed his sleeve, and said unhurriedly, "Your Majesty has been wet with rain and dew these days, I don't know if the next step, until the newcomer enters the palace, can he rest in Xuanqing Palace?" ”

Chunjia was stunned, and a smile appeared on his face.

It's just that this smile hasn't had time to fully spread, so I heard her continue, "The imperial doctor said that the heir conceived by Yi Guiren is a princess. Your Majesty, the newcomer is menacing and related to the previous dynasty, how dare the concubine be sharp? I just ask Your Majesty to read that the concubine's family background is humble and since she entered the palace, because of her youth and ignorance, she has angered all parties, how many people in these six palaces are waiting for the concubine to lose her power and fall into the well, and give the concubine a prince as a deterrent! ”

Who doesn't know the difficult things of the heirs of Yunfeng Huang in the harem?

So she said that he would stay in Xuanqing Palace next, not in the Huanhua Palace.

She didn't want to stay with him by herself, but asked him to go to the palace concubine under her, so that she could hold the prince Chunjia and come over, only to feel that she was poured a bucket of ice water on her head.

He suddenly remembered Yuan Neem.

Yuan Neem Niang also doubted him repeatedly, was jealous, and was unreasonable as a matter of course, but in her heart, she actually believed that he loved her and was unswerving.

In contrast, Yun Fenghuan said that she didn't believe him, and she was rightly jealous to suppress dissidents, but in her heart, she actually didn't believe in his sincerity towards her at all.

In other words, she knew his sincerity, but she didn't think it was precious.

Compared with Chunjia, the reigning son of heaven, she would rather have an infant prince to rely on.

Chunjia laughed angrily: "What if I don't allow it? ”
