Chapter 257: The Incident
Princess Roukun originally entered the palace on the second day of the Lunar New Year, but the day she actually entered the palace was delayed until the fifth day of the Lunar New Year.
The three days in between, provoked by Wei's father and son, about whether this princess is worthy of the position of the fourth concubine.
They took the lead, and a group of more pedantic ministers seconded the proposal, all thinking that dancing in public at Princess Roukun was not reserved, and being a Jieyu was all for Wei Su's face.
After some entanglement, Chunjia came forward to round the field and took a step back, and the princess made up for the vacant Zhaorong after Concubine De's promotion.
The emperor personally appeased Wei Su's envoys, saying that this is just an expedient measure, and when your princess becomes pregnant and gives birth, you don't have to worry about having no chance of being promoted, right?
The envoys of Wei Su were still not satisfied, and their grievances were reasonable: Princess Roukun's dance in public had been communicated in advance, so why didn't any courtiers come out to say goodbye at that time?
If there was a rumor at that time that this dance would have been the position of the fourth concubine, and they would have been guilty of letting their princess come out like this?
When you enter the harem, it's not that you can't jump to the emperor!
They feel that this is the Central Plains' intention to suppress them!
…… Although this is actually the case, Chunjia will not admit it.
Not only did he not admit it, but he also said that the envoy Wei Qi thought too much: "At the Chinese New Year's Eve banquet, the princess has not yet entered the palace, and she is still a golden branch and jade leaf of your country, so naturally you can't use the requirements of the concubine to ask her, which is also a respect for your country." But now that he has entered the palace as a concubine, he naturally has to pay attention to one or two according to the rules of the country. Moreover, in my harem, even if it is a famous lady, it is rare to see a person who is ranked among the four concubines when she first enters the palace. When the princess of your country entered the palace, she was Zhaorong, and she was already the concubine of the Yin family and the Wei family. ”
I euphemistically guessed if there was something wrong with Princess Xia Roukun?
Otherwise, I am in the prime of life, and the princess is still young, and I can't wait to be promoted to the throne after having children, why do I care so much?
The envoy Wei Su was choked by what he said, and he couldn't go up or down, so he thought about it for a while, and felt that it would not be a good price to bargain again, so he reluctantly compromised.
So Princess Roukun postponed for three days before entering the palace as Zhaorong, not to mention, on the day she entered the palace, she went to Yanfu Palace to ask for peace according to the rules, and the princess, who did not understand the rules of the Central Plains, gave the queen a salute, and saw Gu Zhen say a few polite words and sent her away, and asked suspiciously: "Don't you have to go to the queen mother to say goodbye?" ”
"Sister Zhaorong is really joking." Before Gu Zhen could answer, Concubine De snorted and said, "The Empress Dowager is Your Majesty's grandmother, what are we concubines, and where are we qualified to disturb her old man?" ”
Princess Roukun let out an embarrassed "oh", it was nothing to come here, but because Concubine De knew that Concubine Xian didn't like this princess, she muttered again: "I don't understand such rules!" ”
"What do you mean?!" Princess Roukun, no, it's time to call Roukun Zhaorong at this time, Roukun Zhaorong is not a temper that is obedient, she was furious when she heard the words, and pointed at Concubine De and shouted, "Who do you say doesn't understand the rules?!" ”
If this were Concubine De herself, she would not take the initiative to provoke this person, let alone fight her in public.
But Concubine Xian is on the side, this Sister Fenghuang didn't stop her, what did she not dare?
Immediately sneered, and said, "Whoever should be who!" Even if you are Princess Wei Su, since you came to the Central Plains to be my concubine of the Holy Son of Heaven, don't you know the basic rules and etiquette to learn? Are you like being a concubine for the Son of Heaven?! ”
Rou Kun slapped the table and shouted: "Wei Su and the Central Plains are on an equal footing, and they are not father and son countries, I respect the Central Plains, so I have learned Chinese since I was a child, but you have always asked me to follow the rules of the Central Plains, how could you ever want to respect me Wei Su?!" ”
"That's not what I said." Seeing that Concubine De hesitated, Yun Fengxian was worried that if the continued quarrel would rise to the point of diplomatic relations between the two countries, he smiled slightly and personally went on the stage, "If our country always and everywhere requires Zhaorong to follow the rules of the Central Plains, Zhaorong will not be allowed to dance at the Chinese New Year's Eve banquet!" And after Zhaorong dances, he will not have the opportunity to enter the palace to serve the Son of Heaven again! This single piece shows the respect of the national dynasty for Wei Su. Shouldn't Zhaorong now repay the respect for the dynasty? Or do you have to follow Wei Su's custom when you enter the palace? You must know that you are not the only one in the harem of the Son of Heaven! ”
"You're a maverick alone, so what about the others?"
"The Central Plains is vast, and although the land of ten miles is also different, the customs are different."
"There are many people in this palace who come from all over the country."
"If everyone is like you, what if you are called a queen? How can even Your Majesty not worry? ”
"Those of us who are concubines should share your Majesty's worries and solve problems, not make trouble for Your Majesty, Zhaorong, do you say this is the truth?"
Rou Kun Zhaorong glared at her angrily, and always felt that something was wrong: "You are all from the country, so naturally one will give one to help!" I've heard that as the saying goes, it's a guest from afar. Is this your hospitality?! ”
"If Zhaorong doesn't enter the palace, of course he is a guest, but now he has entered the palace as a concubine, and he doesn't follow the rules that Zhaorong should have, but what else do you want?" Yun Fenghuang smiled and said, "It's not wrong that you said that you are a guest from afar, but whose guest will serve the male host?" Isn't that the truth? ”
Seeing Rou Kun blushing and looking at herself, she made a tolerant and generous appearance again, "Besides, we are all people who serve Your Majesty, just like sisters, Concubine De will not turn around when she speaks straightforwardly, why should you bother with her?" ”
Rou Kun said angrily: "What about Concubine De's straightforward heart? I'm younger than all of you, why don't you let me?! ”
"But Zhao Rong has nothing to do with entering the palace." Yun Fenghuang waved his hand to stop the anger of the concubines, especially the queen Gu Zhen at the top, who originally had no ill feelings towards Rou Kun, but also frowned at this moment!
Everyone has never been so pleased that there is such a master in the palace, Concubine Xian, who is only thirteen years old since she was bullied, oh, after the New Year, Princess Roukun, who should be counted as fourteen, got up without pressure, "Concubine De gave birth to a princess for His Majesty, Zhaorong said what do you compare with Concubine De?" If you don't let her, she still wants her to let you, and there is no such reason in the world. ”
Rou Kun was angry and didn't hesitate to speak: "But what about you? You don't seem to have children for the Son of Heaven, do you? The children under your knees were all born to someone else, and you are just helping to raise them! If you don't raise it, there will be other people! ”
"If it weren't for Wei Su's sake, with this sentence, the palace would have called someone to come up and slap his mouth." Yun Fenghuan's eyebrows did not move at all, and he said lazily, "Who gave Zhaorong the courage to openly slander the Empress Dowager like this?!" ”
…… On this day, Roukun Zhaorong almost cried out of Yanfu Palace.
Concubine De accompanied Concubine Xian and then went out, and spat in the direction she left: "Sure enough, my sister has good eyesight, and my sister didn't think she was so annoying at the Chinese New Year's Eve banquet, and I found out when I saw her today, she is really annoying!" ”
Yun Fenghuan tightened the cloak on his body, and said with a smile: "Jin Zhi Yuye is always a little tempered, let's just adjust it slowly." ”
In fact, even if this princess did not provoke at the Chinese New Year's Eve banquet, she would not sit back and watch the other party enter the palace after the wife is peaceful.
The reason is very simple, the status of a foreign princess is special, if Rou Kun is used to it, then Yun Fenghuan will act in the future, wouldn't he have to have some scruples?
This does not bode well for her prestige.
There is already a Yuan Neem Niang in the palace, and she doesn't want another princess concubine to block herself.
Therefore, it is best to put people on the opposite side of the palace as soon as they come up.
Especially Princess Roukun is so cooperative, she simply doesn't bully Bai or bully.
As for saying that this golden branch and jade leaf are young...... Yun Fenghuan doesn't care, was she very old when she was calculated to marry and be calculated to enter the palace? She is only seventeen this year, and no one has ever cared about her being young and weak before, so why should she feel sorry for others???
Concubine Xian thought all the way back to the Huanhua Palace, so she asked Chen Jing to invite Chunjia over.
Chunjia already knew what was happening in the Chongchang Hall at this time, and guessed that Concubine Xian was going to make trouble.
Sure enough, Yun Fenghuang began to cry as soon as he saw his face, saying that Rou Kun looked down on the concubines of the palace because of his foreign guests: "She said that these concubines are all old women, and they are old and yellow!" To be fair, are we really too old to look at? ”
"Why should you take what she says seriously? Besides, didn't you say go back on the spot? Chunjia sighed, "You also know that this princess is not what I want to accept, but it is just for the previous dynasty." ”
Yun Fenghuang choked up and said, "What if you know? Isn't it sad to know? You are so young, and you are so wise and martial, there will be more newcomers to the palace for various reasons in the future. Rou Kun is only three years younger than me, so he thinks I'm old, let alone in the future? I can not be serious, but I'm afraid that there will be more and more people in this palace, I don't care about it today, I don't care about it tomorrow, and you will forget about me the day after tomorrow! ”
Chunjia regretted a little when she heard this, she shouldn't have complained about her lack of attention to herself from time to time.
Now it's okay, Concubine Xian obviously listened, and if she has nothing to do, she will be jealous and make trouble.
Anyway, she expressed her love and exclusivity in this way, and if the emperor didn't give the same response, it would be time for her to suspect that the emperor didn't feel sorry for her......
On this day, Chunjia spent a lot of effort to appease Yun Fenghuan, and when he went to Roukun, he was in charge of the lamp, and because he spent a lot of energy at Concubine Xian, he didn't even bother to coax Roukun.
Rou Kun doesn't like Yun Fenghuan's concubines, and he still has a good impression of Chunjia.
After all, this son of heaven is noble, young, handsome, and he is a very attractive master of women.
She was a little disappointed in Chunjia's perfunctory, but she couldn't bear to blame him, she felt that it was all the fault of Concubine Xian, and she thought that she had just entered the palace, Chunjia would definitely come to her from time to time in the past two days, she had to seize the opportunity to get along well and strive to conceive an heir in one fell swoop!
However, it was only two days before Concubine Xian called the emperor away.
The reason is very serious: it will be the birthday of the Empress Dowager Qu soon.
In the past, Empress Dowager Qu's birthday was never done.
But this year is different, after all, the Empress Dowager Qu almost died of illness before, even if Chunjia does not attach as much importance to this mother as to the Empress Dowager Yuan, she is the biological mother after all, knowing that she has suffered so much, she must always appease one or two.
So after Yun Fenghuang mentioned it, Chun Jia not only didn't blame her for being troublesome, but also praised her approvingly, saying that she was thoughtful.
Now it's okay, Concubine Xian is the head, Concubine Rui and Concubine De still have the reluctant but coerced queen, and ask Chunjia for advice on this Holy Birthday Festival.
They are all people who have been with the Son of Heaven for a long time, even if they can't compete for favor, they still know the emperor's temper very well.
pinched the line between Chunjia wanting to get angry and not coming out, and pulled people from Roukun when he saw the sky, and the angry Roukun stomped his feet, but there was no reasonable excuse to object.
In the end, she persuaded her left and right: "Since Your Majesty attaches so much importance to the Holy Birthday Festival of the Empress Dowager Qu, it is better for the princess to also talk about her heart, so that Your Majesty can see your intentions, and she will definitely be deeply moved, wouldn't it be good?" ”
Rou Kun felt that it made sense, so she was not angry for the time being, thinking about what gift to prepare?
The harem was a little quieter because of her stopping, and there was an accident in the previous dynasty.
It was Gong Xiangxiao who had the accident.
He was impeached by Yushi for forcibly occupying the palace maid when he stayed in the palace on Chinese New Year's Eve, both breaking the palace rules and despising the Son of Heaven, such a big thing is so calm and calm to this day, it is simply unreasonable!
