Concubine An's request was said, and the atmosphere in the Chongchang Hall was stagnant.

Gu Zhen raised his head slightly, with an impatience that he tried to suppress in his eyes: "You are the niece and nephew of the Empress Dowager Mother, and you know the preferences of the Empress Dowager Mother best." Naturally, you are the first to go to the Spring Palace to serve the sick in this way, but why call the concubine? Do you want to point fingers at the concubine? ”

"Niangniang, now the two queen mothers need to be served. You have been ordered to go to Jiashan Palace, the position of the harem, under you, is headed by the concubine. Concubine An said lightly, "If the queen and the concubine are in Jiashan Palace, but there are only a few people in the Chunyu Palace, how will the Empress Dowager be seen outside?" I don't know, I think Niangniang, you have a holiday with the concubine and the queen mother, and you don't want to go to the Spring Palace! Is this a good thing for the royal reputation? ”

"Bengong Xi is the queen, how can he know that the two queens are lacking, but only take care of one of them?" Gu Zhen had a cold face and said, "Naturally, you have to run on both sides." ”

Concubine An said: "Even so, can't the four concubines all go to Jiashan Palace?" It's just that Concubine Shu is pregnant, and for the sake of the emperor's heir, it is impossible to make her work too hard. Concubine Xian stayed in Wannian County to give birth, and it was impossible for her to rush back to the palace immediately. The only concubines who can serve the sick are the concubines and concubines, and the concubines hope that the concubines will go to the Spring Palace to take care of them, shouldn't they? ”

Gu Zhen said: "You can also choose Concubine De." ”

"Does Niangniang think that the concubine is unwilling to go to the Chunyu Palace, or does she think that Concubine De is unwilling to go to the Jiashan Palace?"

Gu Zhen was irritable, and said lightly: "Now that you are discussing the illness of the Queen Mother of the Two Palaces, what are you messing around here?" ”

Concubine An was not afraid of the queen at all, and said coldly: "Isn't the concubine thinking about who is suitable to serve the Empress Dowager in a serious way?" The person sent to Huzhu Palace by Niangniang said that she asked the concubine to pick someone, and the concubine came to pick the concubine, but the concubine refused in every way, which is really strange! After all, the concubine herself didn't say anything, or did the mother think that the Spring Palace was a Longtan Tiger's Den, and it would be bad if the concubine went? ”

Before the queen could say anything, Yun Fenghuang had already stood up and persuaded her not to talk about it: "Niangniang probably thinks that the concubine is clumsy, and she is afraid that the concubine will not serve the queen mother well." But in the two years that the concubine has been in the palace, she has made great progress in her studies. Since Concubine An is relieved of her concubine, why doesn't she give her a chance to be filial in front of the Empress Dowager? ”

Gu Zhen looked at her with a complicated expression, looked at Concubine An again, and finally sighed and said to Concubine An: "It's good to do it yourself." ”

The decision is left alone.

How about love.

Anyway, after relying on his family lineage, even if the matter is too big to settle in the end, I believe Chunjia will personally clean up the aftermath.

It's not just the queen who thinks so, the six palaces look at Concubine An very strangely, but they can't figure out why she did this?

If you heard that the Empress Dowager Yuan was sick before, and specially ordered Yun Fenghuan to serve the sick, everyone could still sympathize with the concubine, and felt that this was a change of way to be the queen mother, tossing and disliking the concubine.

But now, let Yun Fenghuang come to the Empress Dowager Yuan, especially the sick Empress Dowager Yuan, everyone thinks that it is actually the Empress Dowager Yuan who is being tossed.

If it weren't for the fact that Concubine An's biggest backer in the harem was the Empress Dowager Yuan, it would not be beneficial to her to trap the Empress Dowager Yuan, and the concubines would have suspected that she wanted to borrow a knife to kill someone.

After Yun Fenghuang agreed to go to the Chunyun Palace, the others did not raise any objections, so Gu Zhen quickly arranged the candidates for the sick, of course, the Spring Palace was headed by Yun Fenghuang and Concubine An, and the Jiashan Palace was headed by Concubine De and Concubine Wan.

The other concubines tried their best to make a bowl of water flat according to their positions, and if it was really uneven, they would prefer the spring palace, while the queen herself ran on both sides.

After saying this, the queen was already exhausted, and let the concubine on duty negotiate to go to the two queen mothers by herself, she couldn't stand it, so she had to hurry in and lie down for a while.

Because there are now several concubines in the palace, and everyone knows that the queen mother of the two palaces is nothing more than fighting spirit, in fact, the phoenix body may not be in harmony, so I don't think that this service disease really needs to work hard. After Yun Fenghuang left Chongchang Palace, he simply didn't go back to Huanhua Hall to pack his things, and went directly to Chunyu Palace to ask for a meeting.

After the palace people entered the palace to report, they came out after a while, and told them: "Niangniang has only woken up now, and she still has a little headache, and she doesn't want to see too many people, so let Concubine An Niangniang enter alone to ask for peace, and the other Niangniang will go to the side hall to wait." ”

said that he was going to the side hall to wait for his life, but in fact, he was hanging people out, not summoning and not repatriating, and there were also meals delivered when he arrived at the meal.

"Niangniang, what do you mean by the Queen Mother?" Seeing this, Yun Fenghuang was quite calm, and the others, especially the concubines who had just been promoted to the concubine position, were a little impetuous.

Qu Hongzhuan relied on the background of the concubine's lineage, stepped forward and quietly asked, "Is it difficult to make it so that we can stay here day by day?" ”

Yun Fenghuan glanced at her and said, "The Queen Mother naturally has her reasons for doing things, let's just do what she is told." Besides, is this place worse than your palace? ”

"That's not what the concubine meant." Qu Hongzhen was a little embarrassed when he heard this, and hurriedly confessed, "The concubine is afraid that she will understand the meaning of the wrong queen mother, and she will be clumsy." ”

As he was talking, someone from the palace came from outside, saying that the Empress Dowager Yuan had rested and could see them, and asked them to go over and say goodbye.

"You are all good children, but there are not many people in the mourning family now, and you feel dizzy when you look at it, and you are resting in the side hall." Empress Dowager Yuan saw them in the dormitory, because she couldn't see the Empress Dowager's complexion through the curtain, listening to the voice, she was a little weak, and said gently, "When you need it, the mourning family will summon you over." ”

Everyone lowered their eyebrows and agreed, and the Queen Mother let Yun Fenglian stay, and the others retreated for the time being.

The others froze when they heard this, and then they retreated.

I was very worried in my heart, that is, if Yun Fenghuang made Empress Dowager Yuan angry, would it affect them?

"The Queen Mother was still alive yesterday, why is it not good today?" Yun Fenghuan ignored these people's thoughts, and when the people left, she was the first to speak, and asked softly, "The concubine was really worried when she heard the news yesterday!" If I wasn't afraid that I would have bothered you by coming over rashly, I really wanted to come over to greet you at that time! ”

Empress Dowager Yuan was very irritable when she heard this, and she always felt that what she really wanted to say was that you old thing, why didn't you just die?

She took a breath, forced herself to calm down, and then said, "Yesterday's incident, the mourning family knows that you will not let Minghui go." To be honest, the mourning family doesn't like her either! But the mourning family will give you a sentence here: It doesn't matter how you retaliate against her mourning family, you just don't want to cause trouble to the emperor! If because of your actions against her, the emperor is attacked by the harem of the former dynasty, especially the relatives of the clan, even if the mourning family makes the emperor resentful for a lifetime, he will definitely take care of you! Understand?! ”

Yun Fenghuang said softly: "What you said, the concubine said it before, we all rely on Your Majesty to live." Your Majesty is good, we can be good, how can the concubine not understand this truth? How could a concubine do something unfavorable to His Majesty? Not to mention that His Majesty was attacked by that son! ”

Empress Dowager Yuan was too lazy to bother with her about the battle of words, and said lightly when she heard the words: "That's good." The mourning family has nothing else to tell you, get out! ”

"But the concubine still has something to ask the Queen Mother." Yun Fenghuang didn't move, and continued, "If Niangniang only needs to tell this matter and send the palace people to run, why do you have to tell it in person?" After all, the Queen Mother has always been reluctant to see the concubine. ”

The Queen Mother sneered: "Do you suspect that the mourning family has set up a bureau and intends to murder you?" ”

"The concubine just believes that the queen mother doesn't want to see the concubine."

The Queen Mother said coldly: "Of course the mourning family doesn't want to see you, otherwise why would the mourning family ask someone to lower the curtain and block your face?" ”

Yun Fenghuang thought about it and sighed: "I have wronged my mother." ”

That's when he retired.

After leaving the dormitory, she was led to the previous side hall and continued to sit on the cold bench.

Yun Fenghuang naturally didn't care about this cold reception, but she was thinking about Concubine An's intentions in her heart.

Because of the Queen Mother's explanation just now, she didn't believe it very much, and yesterday in the warm pavilion of the small square pot, Chunjia also said that after she came back to the harem, she would apologize to the Queen Mother Yuan, and even stay in the palace for a few days, pretending to be grounded or something. Therefore, in the Chongchang Palace, when Concubine An insisted on letting her come to the Chunyun Palace, Yun Fenghuang also said that the Empress Dowager Yuan said that on the one hand, she was sick and fought with the Empress Dowager Qu, and on the other hand, she didn't want to let herself get by, so she was called here to accept the beating.

Who knows, but it's for Junjia's sake to warn her?

Empress Dowager Yuan believes in Chunjia's feelings, but she hasn't done anything out of control now, even if the Empress Dowager takes precautions, it is said that she won't even care about the grievances that happened yesterday, right?

Yun Fenghuang didn't believe that the Empress Dowager Yuan would be such a loving person, the Queen Mother's past actions proved that she really valued Chunjia, the problem is that when Chunjia's situation is not bad, she will relax and think about getting some benefits for her mother's family.

Well?

Mother's family?

Yun Fenghuan felt that he might have grasped the point, so he turned his head and whispered to Qingren: "Tell the people below to look at the county lord of Kunze, see what the county lord has been doing in the past two days, and who to meet with?" Also, this time the two queen mothers are sick, can the Yuan family plan to visit the palace? If you enter the palace, who are they? Don't let them run around, especially don't let them get close to Jiashan Palace! ”

…… Could it be that Empress Dowager Yuan still doesn't give up, and wants to use the kung fu of illness to detain herself in the Chunyu Palace, so that she can free up her hands to continue to pry the county lord of Kunze?

That county lord is not a very smart person, and his ears are soft, Yun Fenghuang can say that she will change her mind and hand over the major affairs of her life to the Empress Dowager Qu, and the Empress Dowager Yuan may say that she will be separated from the Empress Dowager Qu again and follow the Chunyu Palace wholeheartedly?

Yun Fenghuang not only told the Qing people, but also asked people to go around to inform the Empress Dowager Qu that in the past few days, he must use the same reason to see the county lord of Kunze to death, and definitely not give the people on Empress Dowager Yuan's side a chance to contact the county lord.

After three or two days like this, someone from Xingningbo Mansion really came into the palace to visit, it was the two sisters-in-law of the Empress Dowager Yuan and a few nieces and nephews, Yun Fenghuang told his henchmen to keep an eye on their every move throughout the whole process, and was told that these people did not stay much in the queen mother's bedroom, but after a short while, they were beaten out.

After coming out, he took Concubine An in a secluded place and muttered something for a while.

I just couldn't figure out what they were talking about at this point.

After that, he went out of the palace.

There is no intention of getting close to Jiashan Palace back and forth.

But Yun Fenghuan didn't want to take it lightly, and still let people guard it strictly, so as not to fall short.

On this day, Chen Jing personally went to the Chunyu Palace to deliver food, because the Empress Dowager Yuan did not need the concubines to serve the sick but did not let them go, and asked them to stay in the side hall every day, although the diet and tea were not harsh, but after all, it was impossible to take care of all aspects. So Yun Fenghuang took the lead, and from the second day, all palaces began to send small stoves to the main seat where they came to order.

It's just that this matter is done by the errand palace people every day, and when he saw Chen Jing coming in person, Yun Fenghuang knew that something was going on.

"Niangniang, the slave maid just received a message, yesterday someone from the Gu family passed the message to Chongchang Palace, and the queen seemed to be very troubled after hearing it." Sure enough, when Chen Jing gave her the vegetables, she took advantage of the situation and whispered, "Our people are waiting below, and I vaguely heard a few words, which seem to have something to do with a certain young lady in the Gu family." ”

Yun Fenghuang asked casually: "But the Gu family wants to give their daughter to Shou Ninghou?" ”

The previous laurel banquet was originally intended to settle the marriage of the three clans.

As a result, he died first, and then Minghui came out to make a fuss, and had to end hastily, and now all parties are probably still feeling unlucky, and I am afraid that they will not mention marriage in a short time.

Therefore, it is not surprising that Gu Zhen is worried that the goal cannot be achieved.

“…… It doesn't seem to be. Chen Jing hesitated and said in a low voice, "Listening to our people, it seems that it has something to do with Your Majesty." ”

"Your Majesty?" Yun Fenghuang frowned and said, "Isn't there something wrong with the King of Chu, there is no prince in the palace who is suitable for being used as a concubine by the stepqueen for the time being, and the Gu family wants to stuff his daughter into the palace?" ”

She is so suspicious, the truth is similar, the only difference is that this Gu girl is willing to enter the palace by herself, and even grinds her parents to enter the palace.

"You also know Miss Eight's temper, she said that after seeing Your Majesty at the Guigui banquet, she saw that the children of other families were unbearable, as long as she could enter the palace and give birth to an heir in the future, she would be raised by you." persuaded Gu Zhen left and right, "If she doesn't follow, she doesn't want to think about it now...... The fourth old man left such a little bit of blood and bones, and the fourth lady couldn't say anything because she was not her own flesh and blood, and she was afraid that people would say that she didn't feel sorry for her concubine, so she had been crying to the old lady for two days in a row. The old lady was so annoyed that she had to ask someone to come into the palace to deliver a message to you. Actually, although Miss Eight is stubborn, she is still well-behaved and obedient, and she really entered the palace, cousins are always kinder than outsiders, who do you raise to give birth to the prince is not raised, Miss Eight's child is related to you, isn't it? ”

Gu Zhen said coldly: "What kind of temperament does Su'er have in this palace? Although because the fourth uncle went early, the fourth aunt didn't dare to discipline her very much, but her mother was not her biological mother, but she was not a very domineering and arrogant person. Even if His Majesty's demeanor is indeed overwhelming, she was envious when she saw it, as for such a noisy person to come in as a concubine? It's not that I don't know the harem now, even if the situation is better than when His Majesty was not in power, but it is limited. ”

"Didn't the family want a prince with the Gu family's blood, and if they pampered her, she would go on a hunger strike because of a glimpse?"

Left and right were a little embarrassed, and then said: "Niangniang, this is also for your good." You see Your Majesty is an example, even if the most respected person is still the Queen Mother, but is the treatment of the Queen Mother worse? You said that whether you are good or at home, how much have you paid for this position? Earlier, the king of Chu also gave up, after all, his biological mother was gone. The prince who can be the queen may not have a biological mother who is as short as the Chen family. When the time comes, we will work hard to let the lowly people sit back and enjoy their success, and even have to be longwangshu...... Are you willing? ”

"......" Gu Zhen is silent, is he willing?

Of course, it is unwilling.

Because he can't give birth because he has a secret hand, if he enters Qingci Palace one day, he can only rely on the son born to others.

Then if the child's biological mother fails to die before he ascends the throne, he will have to be like the Empress Dowager Yuan, when the Jiji camp can finally enjoy the fruits, she has to endure another woman who used to crawl at her feet, not to mention on an equal footing, and to do things from time to time.

It's not that you can't go to the mother and keep the son, but there is no impermeable wall in the world, the biological mother of the King of Chu died in Yijia Palace, and no one knew at that time that he would be passed on to the queen as a concubine in the future, and Chen's death had nothing to do with Gu Zhen at all, and that's all.

But that's just the kind of thing that happened.

In today's situation, if a prince lands, as long as it is from the palace concubine, it is estimated that it will be sent to Gu Zhen's knees.

If the prince's biological mother is gone, few people will suspect that this is the queen's hand in order to eradicate the troubles.

So will the prince listen to slander when he grows up, and in turn resent Gu Zhen and the Gu family?

The son can't help it, the Empress Dowager Yuan raised Chunjia intimately enough, but she can't help Yunfenghuang?

Therefore, it is the best choice to let the mother's sister enter the palace, maybe the blood nephew will still favor his mother when he grows up, but at least it will not be unfavorable to the Gu family.

Gu Zhen hesitated for a long time, and said slowly: "You also know what the situation is in the palace now, at this time, Your Majesty is busy with government affairs, and it is too late to take turns to visit the Queen Mother in the two palaces, who dares to say something to Your Majesty?" ”
