Chapter 59: The Human Heart
Yun Fenghuang is not very enthusiastic about giving grace to her aunt and uncle, and this is not because she is angry or anything like thatβmainly because her aunts and cousins are not outstanding.
After all, this family is adjacent to the Yiguo Prince, and they are both members of the Yun clan, even if the bloodline is a little far away, they have always had dealings with the Guogong Mansion on a daily basis. If it's the kind of one who can help him up, can Yun Zhao still lift up his cousins and nephews?
However, Yun Fenghuang has lived in this aunt's house for three years, and the whole family is still happily hugging the thighs of the Guogong Mansion, being a dispensable official with no real power, barely maintaining the official family. The key is that they are all getting by, and they don't have the idea of rolling up their sleeves and doing a big job.
To sum up, this family is actually not bad, and it can be said that it is generous.
But it's really not that smart......
There's no motivation either......
Yun Fenghuang couldn't help but feel that it was a bit of a waste to give them the grace of his mother's family.
It's better to give this benefit to the Xie family.
happened to be no one else at the moment, so he said directly: "The concubine's aunt has always felt guilty for the concubine's entry into the palace, and I feel sorry for the concubine's biological parents." After all, when she took her concubine to Dijing, she swore that she would take good care of her concubine and find an honest and honest husband for her concubine. As a result, by mistake, the concubine actually entered the palace to serve His Majesty. Although this is the blessing of the concubine, the aunt of the concubine is an honest person, and she feels that she has not been able to fulfill her promise, and she is always depressed in her heart. β
"If I give her another grace at this moment, I'm afraid I can't think about it anymore."
"Why don't you canonize the concubine's biological mother and a few sisters-in-law, so that the aunt can feel more comforted."
Empress Ji smiled when she heard this, and said, "This palace guesses that you will do the same." It's just that this is a little too much to say, the Yun family's daughter was promoted to the fourth concubine, but she added the Xie family, what's the matter? Or, do you reinstate the surname Xie? β
Yun Fenghuang shook his head and said: "The identity of Yiguo's nephew is very good, and the concubine is so easy to climb this high branch, but she is reluctant to share her love with Sister Shufei!" β
If she doesn't play the Death Wing Mansion and even the eldest prince, she won't stop - the queen understood, pondered for a while, and said: "Then you have to find a way to convince your aunt, after the canonization of Yizhi passed, she gave her resignation, and then sent a letter to the palace, saying that she didn't raise you much, and she was ashamed to receive this grace, and recommended your mother-in-law and sister-in-law to accept it." Your mother-in-law is afraid that it will be too late in the north, so let your sisters-in-law in the imperial capital write on your behalf, and the two sides will do enough to make the scene come and go...... Of course, you have to understand that in this case, the edict can only be given to two, and at most four or five grades, and the others can only be edicts. β
"Otherwise, it will definitely not be able to convince the public."
The rules copied from the previous dynasty of the national dynasty are one to five for the command, and six to nine for the edict.
According to the convention, the queen's father was crowned the prince of the country, and the mother-in-law was the wife of the country. The four concubines are second only to the queen, but the wives and concubines are different, and it is also to ensure the interests of the concubines in the main palace, so the treatment of the mother family is not worse than that of the descendants
The official position of real power, the concubine and the mother can be crowned to the county lady because the foreign women only enjoy the money and have no power.
Ji's Ye Guogong is the queen after Shenzong ascended the throne, and his father Ye Guogong was crowned, and then the old Ye Guogong died, and the Empress Dowager's younger brother inherited the title, and Shenzong did not descend and attacked - and now when this Ji Empress enters the palace, Ji's is powerful, one prince and two marquis in one door, and the regent and other important ministers are opposed to death, and Haixi Hou has not been promoted to the prince.
The method that Empress Ji is proposing now is tantamount to splitting up the second grade county lady who should have been given to the Xie family.
"It's up to the mother." Yun Fenghuang only thought about it a little and agreed, of course, a county lady is not comparable to a number of low-level edicts, but the Xie family is not a brilliant person. Giving a high position can't help her much, it's really not worth it.
Moreover, the family is evenly stained with rain and dew but does not have a high position, which is conducive to maintaining her image of not having any family background in front of Chunjia, which is convenient for selling miserably.
Thinking of selling miserably, Yun Fenghuang thought that Luo Hanyi and Ouyang Fuxu had already planted a big heel, and it was time for them to turn over and suppress the limelight of Xuanqing Palace.
In this way, it is convenient for the Ji family to be distracted to deal with the Luo family and the Ouyang family, and secondly, she can also make Chunjia understand that she will always be weak, pitiful and helpless who needs his protection.
The concubines talked about some palace affairs again, Yun Fenghuang looked at Chenguang and was about to retire, Queen Ji suddenly fell silent, and then asked thoughtlessly: "Do you think he will allow them to live forever?" β
"......" Yun Fenghuang was stunned, and reacted that the queen should ask whether Chunjia would poison the twin princes, she considered the wording, and said, "The concubine was also sincere when she did things for you, and she never left her hand, but she was still forgiven and accepted. In fact, his nature was originally generous, but in the final analysis, it was Ji's transgression. β
Empress Ji sighed and said, "Can this be the same?" β
In this world, some people value their reputation, and they will do whatever it takes to do so, regardless of their own lives, or the joys and sorrows of others, and the honor and disgrace of life and death; Some people value interests, and they can take revenge for their madness; Some people have heirs, and they do everything they can to pass on their bloodline; There are also some people who are affectionate, or blood relatives, or poured into the past, or look at them for thousands of years, and then throw their heads and spill their blood.
And people who value love are also different, those who cherish their families may not be kind to their partners, those who favor their wives and concubines are not necessarily loyal to outsiders, and those who promise their friends a thousand dollars may not be able to entrust them for life......
Therefore, Chunjia can forgive Yun Fenghuan, who was once hostile to him, and even treat him as a favorite concubine, but he may not be merciful to the twin princes.
Even if the twin princes didn't do anything, they were still his own flesh and blood.
But there was no point in discussing this issue, so Empress Ji didn't say much, but said, "You can go." Garn's affairs were done early, and the ceremony was not left in a few days. Don't get a dress too late to make. β
Yun Fenghuang returned to the Huanhua Palace, and sent people to the Xie family and Xiao Chen's to deliver the letter respectively.
Of course, Xiao Chen's side didn't have anything to say, because Yun Fenghuang is now the daughter of the Yun family, although
knew that this sister-in-law could be promoted to the fourth concubine and could protect the family, but she didn't expect anything. At this time, pie fell from the sky, even if the grade was not high, it was quite glorious after all.
And this sister-in-law is so powerful, maybe she will be able to rise to this level in the future?
Xie Xiaoliu also said to his wife: "Let's just say that the seventeenth sister and our own people, where will we meet outside?" You should make up your mind to stay with Meng'er for a few days. β
But the Xie family was a little entangled here, and the eldest daughter-in-law, the Lan family, had always been calm and tactful, and she felt that she couldn't hold it: "Originally, the mother was the concubine of Jin Xian, and her mother should be registered as the county lady." That's second only to the Lady of the Kingdom's edict......"
As far as their family background, if it weren't for such a cheap sister-in-law, Mrs. County's title would be unimaginable.
As a result, he was happily waiting for the wine to celebrate, but Yun Fenghuang smashed it hard, and it was probably divided with his blood relatives, and it was Xie Shi's turn, leaving only a five-grade fate!
That's too big a gap!
So much so that the Lan family couldn't help but persuade the Xie family: "Why don't my mother go into the palace and talk to my mother, it's not that we are greedy for wealth, but this is really not in accordance with the rules." spread out, but I am afraid that Yu Niangniang's reputation will not be good. β
Xie Shi sighed and said, "You are not ashamed to say this, you are not greedy for the wealth of Mrs. Jun, why bother to tell Niangniang?" Niangniang's actions from the beginning of entering the palace, everyone saw it, is it strange to do such a thing? Don't mention this kind of thing again, we have no credit for Yu Niangniang, but we owe it. Now to be able to get a fate, it is already an extra joy. No matter how greedy you are, I'm afraid it will be a blessing or a curse. β
After all, this eldest daughter-in-law grew up in Dijing, and she didn't have much contact with her mother's Xie family, so she didn't know how powerful her fourth sister-in-law was.
If Yun Fenghuang didn't mean to split the grace, it would be fine, since Yun Fenghuang did this, if he dared to mutter, regardless of whether things could be done or not, let the fourth sister-in-law Jiang know, I'm afraid that the first thing is to think of killing his whole family - isn't this a good life, but looking for trouble?
The Xie family has always been very afraid of the Jiang family in his heart, and he doesn't want to confront this sister-in-law at all.
Moreover, since the newly promoted concubine Yun Fenghuang has done this, she is obviously biased towards her own mother and sister-in-law.
Even if the Xie family tries to persuade them, there may not be results.
It's better to just accept it.
Under her control, the matter went very smoothly.
The Xie family also personally expressed his shame to the Qing capital sent by Yun Fenghuang, saying that he was ashamed of receiving Yun Yun's ...... This made Xie Fu very disappointed, and said to Xie Fu in private: "Our cousin is interesting, I thought that if she was dissatisfied, let the seventeenth sister know, maybe she could snatch her life to the ninth sister-in-law." β
After all, there is a difference between intimacy and intimacy, Yun Fenghuan raises nieces, Xie Meng, who is the first choice, and the daughters of Jiaen's mother's family, of course, are also preferred by the Jiang family and Xiao Chen's mother-in-law.
Although the cousin-in-law Xiao Luo is also in the imperial capital, she has no share.
Xie Yu frowned and said: "The seventeenth sister has always been close to the twenty-three, let's not be too manipulative, and even the twenty-three will not be treated by the seventeenth sister at that time." β
"Brother Jiu, rest assured
, I'm measured. Xie Fu said, "By the way, can you go to find Meng'er to play these days?" β
Mentioning this, Xie Yu subconsciously frowned, and then said: "I have sent her over every day, and now my Xie family's concubines in the imperial capital are just the two of them, but Meng'er doesn't seem to like Kuo'er very much." It was Kuo'er who took the initiative to chase after her, saying this and that...... It's really hard for this kid. β
Although Xie Yu didn't see that kind of scene himself, he couldn't help but feel sorry for his child when he listened to the description of his subordinates.
Originally, they were all the daughters of the Xie family's generation, who was more noble than whom?
But for the sake of the future of the second room, he couldn't help but let Xie Kuo coax him, and even curry favor with Xie Meng.
"That's good." Xie Fu didn't care much about Xie Kuo's grievances, in his opinion, compared to the return, this grievance was completely worth it, and he bowed slightly, "Now there is only one problem left, that is, to make the thirteenth sister-in-law more happy, and to the extent that she can't enter the palace to see her." β
Xie Yu's heart jumped and said, "She is pregnant with my Xie heir!" β
"It's just that the thirteenth sister-in-law will have to lie on the couch to recuperate." Xie Fu soothed, "Brother Jiu will think that I am too vicious, I have never had the idea of poisoning Sifang." β
After all, the mother of the fourth room, the Jiang family, and the virtuous concubine in the palace, who is the fuel-efficient lamp?
He dared to do something, but he only relied on the fact that one of these two was far away in the north and the other was in the deep palace, and because of the twenty-three, he had no prejudice against the second room, so he would not easily doubt it.
But it is also necessary to grasp the sense of proportion, and not to cause a big incident, otherwise these two will suspect it and investigate it thoroughly, then ......
Xie Fu lowered his eyebrows, covering his eyes, people's encounters are so unpredictable, missing the most critical step, and since then it has been difficult and ordinary.
If you are not willing to sink here, you can only take risks.
"I won't do anything to Xie Wuzheng, because the children of the Xie clan are still the masters, and the Yu He clan is beneficial. Since he has been given a marriage, if I fight with him, it will lead to extraneous branches, and the Xie family will be out, which is a loss for the He family. I don't either. Xie Fu silently told himself, "I won't poison the fourth room, I just want to fight for a chance for Kuo'er, so as not to fall behind when the Xie family rises." β
So he has a clear conscience.
A big family, no matter how harmonious the whole is, who doesn't have a little bit of their own abacus in private?
The way of the world is like this, so why be self-critical.
He wasn't a saint after all.
