“…… Please forgive me. Yi Xingen hesitated for a while and whispered, "Because at that time, the concubine heard that the Xie family was not a high-ranking family, and there was a gap between the Yun family and Niangniang...... will attack the mothers in groups! So...... So ......"

"So you think that when you go to the hands of this palace, it is safe, and you even have more opportunities to show your face?" Yun Feng is clear in his jaw, this idea is actually very correct.

At that time, Empress Yuan planned to let Yi Xingen go to the former concubine Zheng Shangchu's subordinates, if she obeyed, then Zheng Shangchu, who was already pregnant at the time, would not treat her badly, and even because she needed her help to fix her pet, she would try her best to introduce her to Chunjia, but ...... Don't forget the whole situation at that time, that is, Chun Jiachu was in power, and he was uniting with the Yin clan, the Luo clan, the Ouyang clan, and other suppressed high-ranking families, against the Ji clan, the Zheng clan, and the regent of the Cui clan.

So even if he has been married for eight years and has no children, Zheng Shangchu's pregnancy is not valued by him.

In this case, even if Yi Xingen is stunning and goes to the Yanlan Palace at that time, the future is not necessarily good.

On the other hand, Yun Fenghuan, who was still Mao Jieyu at that time, was not high in background and had a pimple relationship with the nominal father Yun clan, but he could make the emperor feel relieved and pampered.

Moreover, it was originally very taboo for a new favorite concubine like Yun Fenghuan to be more beautiful than herself.

However, there is another situation here: Yun Feng Huang was recognized as unborn at that time.

She is not stupid, how can she not know the importance of the imperial heir?

I can't give birth myself, so I naturally point to the people below to help give birth to children.

Therefore, in Yi Xingen's position, coming to Xuanqing Palace is the best choice.

will not be dragged down, the main position will help her to be favored, and the biggest risk is to be left behind by the mother after giving birth.

But she is so beautiful and has no family background, whoever she goes to, she will be left behind by her mother and children, in contrast, Yun Fenghuan has many enemies, there are many people staring at her, and her background is not high, and the ghost tricks are rarer than those of high-ranking noblewomen, but they are safer.

Thinking about this, Yun Fenghuang looked at Yi Xingen's gaze and appreciated it even more, at the beginning, when she heard Empress Yuan say that Yi Xingen took the initiative to come to her, she didn't believe the so-called "Niang Niang was the only one who broke the siege for these concubines at that time" statement.

The fault is not a few fools, how many people will be bought by small favors and small favors in major matters related to the future?

What's more, Yun Fenghuang didn't feel that the casual words at that time belonged to a favor.

She didn't take it to heart.

Leaning back, changing to a more comfortable and casual sitting position, and also showing her confidence and determination on the side, the concubine said slowly: "You are a little smart, but this palace is thinking, I am afraid that you can't think of it alone." ”

Because Yi Xingen's choice was made on the basis of an understanding of the situation in the harem.

But according to her identity and vision at that time, I'm afraid I can't see so much.

Sure enough, Yi Xingen said in a low voice: "After the concubine was selected as a girl, the person entrusted by the second brother had privately entrusted someone to send a message to the concubine, and persuaded the concubine to change her mind on the grounds that the palace gate was as deep as the sea. But the concubine was bent on going her own way, so on the way to the imperial capital, she sent a last message there, so that after the concubine entered the palace, she tried to get to the mother, saying that this is the best for the concubine. ”

Yun Fenghuang bowed slightly, and said, "After so many years, you haven't thought about meeting with your brother and talking?" It doesn't matter if you're grateful or resentful of him...... In the end, it is the flesh and blood of the family. ”

"Don't hide it from the mother, the concubine is thinking about it." Ijoen smiled self-deprecatingly, "But...... After that message, there was no news from there! The concubine didn't know who the second brother's surname was now and where he was. Even the person who was entrusted knew the name and general appearance. After so many years, the concubine thought that since the second brother was so cautious, he probably didn't want to have anything to do with the concubine. And that person's name may not be true. As for looks...... There was nothing special about that person's appearance, the kind that couldn't be found in the crowd. But where do you find the concubine? ”

"In the past, this palace didn't know about this." Yun Fenghuan said slowly, "But now that you have said it, as long as you want to see your brother, this palace is not unable to help, and send someone to search for one or two." How is it? ”

"This ......" Yi Xingen hesitated a little, after all, judging from her description, although there may not be a little resentment and grievance for this second brother's defense, he is his own brother in the end, and he also rescued her from the disaster and gave her the opportunity to blend into the palace.

She definitely didn't want to watch the other party fall into Yun Fenghuan's calculations.

But Yun Fenghuan smiled and reminded: "Even if you were born in an official family when you were a child, you are the one who rolled in the Qinglou once. In this matter, this palace can pity you and help you hide it. But if others know, they may not be willing to keep it a secret for you. Even, you don't know when this secret you carefully hid will be poked out and made a fuss, so that everyone knows it! When the time comes, not only you, but also the palace, and even Zhaoqing and the Seven Imperial Maidens, do you think you can hide? ”

Seeing that Yi Xingen's expression was uncertain, she added another fire, "The dignity of this palace in front of His Majesty, you must be clear." The palace made it clear, and it was not the palace's arrangement for you to enter the palace. When the matter is exposed, the palace will be disgraced at best. Your Majesty will never blame this palace for this. But Zhaoqing and the Seven Princesses will definitely not end well. Even if the palace likes Zhaoqing very much, I can't say it, I can only choose a husband for her and go far away, just like when Her Royal Highness Princess Sui'an left the imperial capital to avoid discussions. Even if it is an imperial daughter, she has left the Son of Heaven, do you think you can not be wronged? Especially Zhaoqing's temperament, he is the most unaggrieved! ”

"......" Yi Xingen was silent, her face struggling.

"Moreover, this palace is willing to believe that what you say is true." Yun Fenghuang was not in a hurry, took a sip of tea, and said, "But...... Have you thought about it? From beginning to end, the so-called "your second brother sent someone to save you" is a one-sided statement by the entrusted person. You've never met your second brother. In fact, even if you see it, there is no one else in your family, and you also said that you were very young when this second brother came out, and you have no memory. If that is the case, would you doubt that a man of the same age who knows a little about your family stands in front of you and claims to be your brother? ”

Yi Xingen was stunned and said, "The concubine is ......"

"At that time, you would definitely not doubt it, after all, it was your most difficult time, and you must have thought, except for your flesh and blood relatives, who will save you at that time?" Yun Fenghuang said kindly, "But, have you ever thought that with such a posture of yours, you yourself have thought about relying on this to win the favor of the rich emperor, and the others are not blind, will they not know that you must be able to be selected into the palace?" ”

"But the flowers and birds made it there, it was the concubine who ......designed it herself," Yi Xingen's words were interrupted by Yun Fenghuan: "Maybe this is an accident, but it is also possible that it is because you did this, just like your so-called second brother's plan." Otherwise, if he really doesn't agree to you entering the palace, he can't stop you? Not to mention that your background was originally a problem, let's just say that he was able to arrange someone to deliver you a message at that time, and he couldn't arrange someone to do something for you, so that you couldn't come to the imperial capital at all? ”

"All in all, don't listen to the wind and rain, and think that people say it's your brother, it's your brother."

"Think about it, if it's really your second brother, he sent someone to get you out of the Qinglou, and even killed the bustard's mother and the Zhizhou magnates for this, why would he even be stingy to meet you?"

"Even after that message, there was no more news?"

"If it's the kind of cold-hearted person...... But why bother with you being in the Qinglou? ”

"......" Yi Xingen's face was complicated, and she didn't know what to say for a while.

It can be seen that no matter what she thinks of that brother over the years, she has never suspected that it is her brother.

Now that I was suddenly reminded, I couldn't help but feel a little at a loss.

Yun Fenghuang looked at her expression in his eyes, the corners of his mouth hooked slightly, and said softly: "So this palace is also for your good, if it is really your brother behind this matter, it will be fine." If not, think about it yourself, what do people do like this? If it's just doing good deeds, why do you pretend to be your second brother? If you have other plans, huh...... That's where the trouble comes in. After all, there are only a handful of people who dare to lay out from the distant Zhizhou, which means that His Majesty's pillow. ”

"Take, for example, Ji."

"You should know that not long ago, His Majesty personally inquired about Ji Mingji's whereabouts again, and he made up his mind to kill him completely!"

Yi Xingen took several deep breaths, and finally showed a wry smile: "Niangniang...... That's true! ”

…… After a while, Yun Fenghuan saw her off, squinted his eyes and called Chen Jing, and said some characteristic accents in a few words: "At the end of the sixth year of Chunjia, this person appeared in Zhizhou, and it may have something to do with the people who made a rebellion in Zhizhou, go to Haosheng to investigate." Be sharp with your hands and feet when checking, and don't let people notice. ”

Chen Jing agreed, and couldn't help but be curious: "Niangniang, isn't this person related to Zhaorong Niangniang?" ”

He remembered that Yi Xingen was from Zhizhou, and this Yi Zhaorong had just left, so the concubine asked him to check people, so there must be a relationship.

"Maybe." Yun Fenghuang was noncommittal, Yi Xingen was also thoughtful, although the attitude just now did not seem to be fake, but it may not be credible.

At least not entirely credible.

However, this person is expected to be a little concerned about his own flesh and blood.

After all, even if Yun Fenghuan himself faced King Jin, he couldn't help but plan for him.

Even if Qin Wang Zhaoqing is not a biological child, it is impossible to say that he is wholeheartedly, but it is impossible to say that he is not sincere at all.

How long has it been raised.

So Zhaoqing is in hand, as long as he doesn't push Yi Xingen to a corner, he can still use it.

Yun Fenghuang is currently asking for Yi Xingen.

As for the ...... on the side It depends on the results of Chen Jing's investigation.

If it is really a master who is distressed and disgusted that his blood sister has entered the Qinglou, it will not be of much use, and it will be of no use to arrange a good future, so as not to expose this previous conviction in the future, so that Yun Fenghuan is in a hurry, that is.

But if the other party refuses to show up, it's quite special......

Of course, Yun Fenghuan will not let go of the people and things sent to the door.

Thinking of this, she smiled and asked Hongcalyx: "I haven't seen Zhaoqing for two days, if she is idle later, and summons her to come, she will say that this palace wants to get up and assess her schoolwork." ”

The eldest daughter of the emperor is smart and never afraid of assessments.

Therefore, this is a rare opportunity for Zhaoqing to get along with his mother.

Since you want to make your biological mother charge backwards and take the lead, you always have to give your daughter some sweetness, so as to show sincerity, right?

The Seven Princes are like this, and Zhaoqing is certainly no exception.
