Chapter 45: The Aftermath
Yun Fenghuang smiled bitterly in his heart and said: "The affairs of the harem have always been the queen's mother's decision, but Concubine Ji and the queen's mother are cousins, and it is said that they still grew up together, so the queen's mother should avoid suspicion...... It is better to ask the Queen Mother and the Queen Mother to deal with it. ”
This is to retreat as advance, forcing Ji to give an explanation to the emperor himself.
Especially the Empress Dowager, this is the daughter of the Ji family, but her status is not comparable to that of the Empress Dowager Ji and Empress Ji, she is the wife of Emperor Shenzong and the mother of Emperor Xiaozong, and she has an unshakable status in the entire clan regardless of generation or identity.
Emperor Chunjia handed Ji Duzi to her, which was tantamount to clearly showing her face.
In this way, the empress dowager must also return the emperor's favor elsewhere in the future......
If used well, this favor can be very useful.
The emperor said with a faint "um": "That...... Ji Tingzhao, do you think I should also be handed over to Hai Xihou for disposal? ”
"Ji Gongzi is a foreign man, different from Ji Concubine." Yun Fenghuang pursed his lips, bowed his head and said, "The concubine thinks that His Majesty will deal with it by himself, after all, Ye Guogong once suggested that the harem should not be allowed to interfere in politics, and he must not want the Empress Dowager and the Empress Dowager and the Empress Dowager to meddle in this matter." ”
When Ye Guogong was thinking about guarding against his own woman, he was afraid that he didn't expect today.
Of course, this old prince doesn't care about how unlucky Fayun Fenghuang is, she is now like eating coptis, and her heart is full of bitterness: If this proposal is said tonight, if it jumps from Ji's boat to the emperor's ship.
It's not distressing to sell Ji's Yunfeng Huang, she just feels sorry for herself and went back to Qishan Palace, if Yuan Neem Niang hasn't been played to death, what will happen to her?
Originally, with the power of the Ji family in the palace, Yuan Neem was killed and framed by Concubine Shu...... Even if you don't do it well, the first one is always fine.
But now looking at the emperor's calm and relaxed appearance, maybe he has already prepared for Yuan Neem's side?
Originally, Yun Fenghuang didn't plan to stand as the emperor, at least not at the moment, after all, Yuan Neem's reputation really can't be reassured.
But she never expected that such a thing would happen tonight, as the empress, she personally told the concubine who stayed by the emperor's side to preside over the overall situation, and she couldn't keep Ji Duzi back, after all, even the suggestion that Hai Xihou kill her son was conveyed...... The point is, since the emperor has the intention of holding Ji Duzi at this time, and he specially called her over angrily, if she is not interesting, who knows if she will be added to a certain list by the way?
In the final analysis, her foundation is too shallow, and she has come to this day purely by traveling around all parties, and she does not have considerable strength, and she has no choice at all in such a situation. Therefore, if you perceive that something is not good, even if you know in your heart that there will be endless troubles, you can't help but get through the difficulties in front of you first.
"What do you think I should do with Ji Tingzhao?" The Emperor carefully watched the change in her expression, returning to the gentle tone of his usual speech.
Yun Fenghuang didn't dare to relax his vigilance because of this, and thought quickly: "The concubine thinks that Your Majesty might as well tell it widely and show mercy to her subordinates."
。 ”
Spread the word, so that everyone in the world knows the evil things that Ji did in private; But his subordinates showed mercy, showing the benevolence and tolerance of the Son of Heaven, and at the same time, it also aroused the public's dissatisfaction with the Ji family, leaving an introduction for them to attack again in the future.
The emperor chuckled lightly and rubbed the tea bowl: "Concubine Ai is a little condescending to be Jieyu." ”
"The concubine doesn't dare." Yun Fenghuang lowered his head, "The concubine body can serve His Majesty, and she is already satisfied." ”
The emperor stood up, stepped forward to help her up with his own hands, and said slowly: "Why does Concubine Ai have to see me like this? Didn't you always say that you liked me the most, and you knew that I liked you? In this case, a little thing, where is it worth being alienated from me? ”
“…… His Majesty said yes. Yun Fenghuang stiffened for a moment, then bent his eyebrows and smiled, "The concubine likes Your Majesty the most, how can you be willing to be alienated from Your Majesty?" It's just that Concubine Ji actually did such a thing under the nose of the concubine, and the concubine felt sorry for Your Majesty......"
She skillfully showed her desire to speak, and Hugh was full of guilt.
The emperor also skillfully comforted: "This is the fault of Concubine Ji, it is the goddaughter of the Ji family who has no way, where is the blame for the concubine?" In terms of qualifications, the concubine entered the palace later than the concubine; In terms of age, Concubine Ai is nearly ten years younger than Concubine Ji. This matter has nothing to do with Concubine Ai, I will ask someone to send her to the Empress Dowager later, Concubine Ai must not save a mustard with me because of this! ”
The two of them tacitly agreed that you and I were nong for a while, and the emperor went to her courtyard to settle down at the suggestion of Yun Fenghuang.
As for Yun Fenghuan himself, he still has to stay to deal with the aftermath.
There is no way, although the emperor said that he would immediately send Ji Duzi to the Empress Dowager, this kind of thing cannot be done by the Son of Heaven in person, Yun Fenglian can only accept his fate.
She also has to take it, although she has decided to abandon the Ji family, but everyone takes what they need, and it is good to part ways calmly, right? It's miserable, it's not good-looking, and it's not good...... I just don't know if Ji Duzi can be as knowledgeable as her?
Ji Duzi and Yi Xingen were both placed in the wing room at the moment, and when Yun Fenghuang entered, the two of them each occupied a corner of the room, and the palace people who served them were also distinct, although the atmosphere was not relaxed, but there was no sense of tension.
This is not surprising, no matter how down-and-out Ji Duzi is, she is also the daughter of the Ji family, Yi Xingen is from a humble background, she has not been in the palace for a long time, and her position is not high, even if she is full of resentment and reason, where can she be suppressed?
Seeing Yun Fenghuan coming in, a room full of people got up and saluted.
Yun Fenghuang waved his hand and let Yi Xingen's group go out first: "This palace knows that you have been wronged, and rest assured, this palace will definitely seek justice for you!" ”
Yi Xingen didn't dare to refute: "Yes, the concubine obeys the order." ”
After she left, Yun Fenglian glanced at the palace people behind Ji Duzi, Ji Duzi nodded, so these people also retreated.
"Did you do it yourself, or did you?" Yun Fenghuang stared at Ji Duzi, who was already fully dressed, for a moment, and asked slowly.
Ji Duzi smiled: "I made it myself." ”
Without waiting for Yun Fenghuang to ask, she followed, "
Your Majesty asked you to dispose of me? So he's already convinced you? ”
"Why are you doing that?" Yun Fenghuan didn't answer her words, frowned and asked, "You should know that this move is meaningless, and it will make the Ji family suffer more humiliation." ”
Ji Duzi said lightly: "Maybe it's my Ji family's blessing that has declined." ”
Seeing that Yun Fenghuan was puzzled, she explained, "A few days ago, the family got a recipe to help the heir, and this time my mother and sister specially kept me, just to ...... But I didn't expect that Mingji would anger His Majesty at this eyebone, so that His Majesty didn't want to go to me at all. ”
“…… If you had confessed to me earlier, I would have arranged it for you, even if it might not have been successful, it would not have been to this point. Yun Fenghuang silently spit out a mouthful of blood in his heart again, and said, "You should know that although there is some disharmony between you and me, at this moment, I hope you will be happy." ”
Ji Duzi glanced at her and showed a sneer: "But it's too late to tell you this now, right?" Your Majesty he...... What a good idea! ”
Yun Fenghuang didn't refute: "Even the Marquis of Haixi still doesn't dare to disobey His Majesty, let alone the palace?" This palace is also doing this for the sake of you and the Ji family. ”
"What is Your Majesty going to do with us?" Ji Duzi was in no mood to continue to mock her betrayal, so she only asked in a deep voice.
Yun Fenghuang said: "Your Majesty is really angry this time, this palace is easy to say...... Finally persuaded him to hand you over to the Empress Dowager to dispose of. ”
Ji Duzi sneered: "Mao Jieyu is really thinking about me and Ji's sake!" I know that the Empress Dowager is sick and has to hurry, which is very inappropriate, but I still make trouble in front of her old man, and I don't know what your intentions are?! ”
She looked skeptical, "I want to ...... at the summer banquet"
"The bottom of the palace is not clear." Yun Fenghuang said disapprerovingly, "Or do you think you are wise enough to pass the Middle Palace?" Then why are you the same concubine of the Ji family, you are only a Zhaoyuan at the highest, but the mother is high on the phoenix seat? In the final analysis, it is your own suspicion that you don't believe in this palace, and you have made your own decisions that have fallen to the point where you are now. If it weren't for the queen's face, you would be willing to come to give you a round when the palace was willing to do so?! ”
"And the current situation of the Ji family, if you don't alarm the Empress Dowager, do you think it's possible?"
Ji Duzi opened his mouth, and before he could refute it, Yun Fenghuang said again, "Besides, you still succeeded tonight, don't go to the Empress Dowager at this time, if your family's recipe for giving birth to a child is useful, do you think you can keep it?" ”
“…… That's it, when are you leaving? Ji Duzi was silent for a while, sighed, and asked, "Can the person who serves me bring it?" ”
Yun Fenghuang said: "Your Majesty is tired of you in my heart, let you leave immediately, as for the people who serve you...... Bengong will ask the next goose guide later, if he agrees, then bring it, otherwise Bengong can't do anything. Your Majesty has just fallen asleep, where does this palace dare to disturb tonight? ”
When Ji Duzi left, she specially asked for the secret recipe for giving birth.
Then he went to appease Ixingen and said, "Poor man! This palace is just wrong, I didn't expect Concubine Ji's cheap maid to do such a thing! Not only did you suffer grievances, but you also suffered
The palace is all shameless in front of His Majesty! No, the palace just told His Majesty, and sent people to the Queen Mother overnight to ask for instructions on how to send it! ”
"It's not that the palace doesn't want to give you anger on the spot, but that is a member of the Ji family, that is, Your Majesty, and it's not good not to give the queen a son."
"If this is dealt with by others, it will hinder the Empress Dowager, and she may be merciful. can let the Empress Dowager make the decision herself, but the Empress Dowager is not good to wronged Her Majesty. ”
Yi Xingen's face was supple, and when she heard this, she hurriedly blessed her, and said softly: "The concubine is stupid, and she listens to her mother!" ”
Yun Fenghuang said: "You are from the palace of this palace, and there is no reason why this palace is not facing you." In this way, people, this palace has just been sent away by order of His Majesty. What happens next, and wait and see what happens. It's just that after this incident, the queen's mother, this palace must fight for you. In addition, this palace has just asked someone to fetch something to suppress your shock. ”
While speaking, Nian Xuan came up with a lacquer plate, there were two sets of jewelry, one set of red gold, and one set of emerald, all of which were exquisite in workmanship and exquisite materials, shining on the candle flame, and it was clear at a glance that it was not something that the palace concubine could wear.
Yi Xingen subconsciously looked stunned for a moment, and then turned her eyes away with some embarrassment: "Niangniang, this ......"
"Even if you can't wear it for the time being, just put it away first." Yun Fenghuang blew the tea bowl in front of him, and said in a harmonious voice, "Isn't this palace itself an example?" ”
Yi Xingen hurriedly said: "How can a concubine be virtuous? Don't dare to compare with the mother! ”
"The palace doesn't really care about these, do you see that after Concubine Ji was demoted, it wasn't the same as the beads and greens? With this palace here, what are you afraid of? Yun Feng said in his heart that these things were originally too late for Ji Duzi to clean up, and she hinted that Xijing and them were detained, after all, Yi Xingen's grievances were given by Ji Duzi, is it possible to expect her to stick to her private room to appease?
She took two sets of makeup that she didn't like too much from the withheld makeup and gave them to Yi Xingen, and the rest was divided with the henchmen and palace people, which was regarded as compensation for the master and servant who were alarmed for a few big nights.
At this time, he persuaded Yi Xingen to accept it with apprehension and joy, and then said with a pleasant face: "You don't have these things now, and you will have them in the future, they are not worth mentioning." Concubine Ji did too much this time, and when Bengong scolded her alone, she asked for a compensation for you. ”
As he spoke, he took out the secret recipe for giving birth to a child whose ink had not dried, and said with a smile, "The reason why Concubine Ji is so bold and reckless in calculating Your Majesty is because she only recently got this recipe......
Yi Xingen, who was originally not interested in a prescription, listened to her story, and her eyes gradually lit up: No matter how much you slander Ji Concubine, you have to admit that you have a good mother's family, so how can Ji Concubine not hesitate to provoke the emperor to experiment with the secret recipe for giving birth, how can she not have a way?!
Even though Yi Xingen is very beautiful, she has no family background, and she has no skills such as Yun Fenghuang, and if she wants to gain a foothold in the palace where pink and white people are endless, and if she wants to be promoted as soon as possible, the only shortcut is to spread the branches and leaves for the royal family - Yun Fenghuang also said: "This palace doesn't understand medical theory, go back to the imperial doctor and see if there is no problem and then give it to you." ”
She couldn't wait to say: "Niangniang, the concubine understands something, the concubine used to open a pharmacy at home!" The concubine's body is stained, and the mistake is not a particularly remote recipe, and the concubine can take a look! ”
