The truth is this truth, Concubine Xuan Ruifei is a thief after all, and she is still entangled in every way, begging Yun Fenghuan to go with them to visit Princess Minghui to find out the truth.

It's just that the third concubine ate a closed door in Xunfeng Pavilion, and the big palace maid in front of the Empress Dowager Ji came out to send them away, and told with a smile: "The Empress Dowager said that the kindness of the three mothers has been appreciated on behalf of Her Royal Highness the Princess, but our Royal Highness is now lacking, and it is inconvenient to see the three mothers." Moreover, the three mothers are often serving in front of the palace, and they all have an imperial heir or an imperial heir under their knees, if they are sick because of visiting Her Royal Highness the princess, it is not good. ”

The three concubines returned, and Concubine Xuan Ruifei persuaded Yun Fenglian to go to see Chunjia and Chunjia to see Princess Minghui.

After all, can Empress Dowager Ji stop them, and can she stop Chunjia?

Yun Fenghuang pondered for a while and really went to tell Chunjia, after all: "Her Royal Highness Princess Minghui has just withdrawn from Wang Linglai's marriage, and now the discussion in the market has not subsided. If the news of Her Royal Highness the princess's serious illness comes out at this time, I am afraid that there will be suspicions outside, and His Majesty's reputation will be hindered. ”

What if someone suspects that Chunjia resents the princess for not dropping the horse he has chosen, and deliberately retaliates to cause the princess to fall ill?

Chunjia frowned when she heard this, and went to Xunfeng Pavilion to ask Empress Dowager Ji that afternoon.

Empress Dowager Ji wiped her tears and insisted that her daughter was seriously ill: "I don't believe Your Majesty asked the imperial doctor!" The mourning family has such a little blood and bones, I can't wait to suffer for her, if she is good, the mourning family can still touch her moldy head?! ”

"What did the Queen Mother say? I'm just feeling sorry for Minghui, how can I doubt the queen mother? Chunjia said in a good voice, "Don't say anything about the imperial doctor." ”

The Empress Dowager and the Empress Dowager Ji were all confidants that the Empress Dowager began to cultivate when she was the empress, what did she not say to the Ji family?

Chunjia didn't believe a word of their testimony.

Empress Dowager Ji said this, but it confirmed that Minghui must have an inside story when he was sick.

The Son of Heaven was suspicious in his heart, so he offered to visit Minghui.

Of course, Empress Dowager Ji refused, the reason was similar to when she sent the third concubine, that is, it showed that Hui was very ill, and she was afraid that if she was too sick to give Chunjia, she would be shaken by the time.

Chunjia already knew about the third concubine being sent away, and he was already prepared at this time, and thanked Ji's mother for her love for him, so she said: "It's just that Minghui is the first emperor's heir and sister, how can there be an heir sister who is sick, but I only inquire about some truths outside the house?" If the queen mother is really not at ease, it is better to send a childless concubine under my knees to visit on my behalf. After she came out, the palace people passed the word on her behalf, and it was good that I didn't go to Lin Xing these days. ”

He had all said this, and the Empress Dowager Ji really couldn't refuse, so she could only let the emperor order Lu Qidao to go to the princess.

Lu Qidao looked at it once, turned his head and asked people to tell Chunjia that Princess Minghui seemed to be very sick: "The concubine just walked into the princess's courtyard, and she smelled a smell of medicine. Before the concubine went, she specially brought a palace maid who knew a little about pharmacology, and she said that there were several precious medicinal materials in it, all of which were hung and renewed. ”

"Inside, the princess was asleep, inside and out

There were many people waiting, and their faces were a little sad. ”

The concubine sat on the edge of the bed and called the princess several times, but the princess never woke up, only slurred a few words, and couldn't hear what she was saying...... Oh, the princess looks fatter than before, but she must be fat. ”

"The concubine saw that the princess was very difficult to speak, and her face was a little abnormal."

Of course, the curtain in the house was low, and although the candles were lit, it was not bright enough. The concubine may have been mistaken, and the princess's face may not be particularly sallow. ”

"The concubine deliberately delayed Chenguang, and then someone sent medicine to feed the princess."

"The palace maid stood beside her, saying that she smelled the medicinal soup, and it was indeed for the seriously ill."

"If you are a good person, I am afraid that you will not be able to make up for it."

The concubine watched them feed the princess a bowl of medicine, and later stuffed a candied fruit for the princess.

After Lu Qidao's 1510 ceremony, he was sent back to his residence, and told him not to go out for the time being, so as not to spread the illness and go out - Chunjia, who threw it away after using it, turned his head and went to borrow Yue Xiaozhu to discuss countermeasures with Yun Fenghuan: "This sounds like Minghui is really sick, but how can it be?" A few days ago, it was okay, if it was a dog wind, not to mention why there was silence in the middle of these days, Queen Ji would definitely not say a word. If it weren't for the dog wind, Minghui would have been called into the Xunfeng Pavilion after she was injured, and Queen Ji would take care of her personally, what could have happened? ”

"When the second prince and the third prince were handed over to the Queen Mother to raise, wasn't it proposed by Qin Tianjian before?" Yun Fenghuang pondered for a while and reminded him, "Could it be that the Ji family gave the princess a good look at the concubine?" ”

Therefore, let Princess Minghui start to call her sick now, the kind that will be blushing anytime and anywhere, and then when the government and the opposition know, there will be a colt Chongxi who needs a match of fate - take advantage of the situation to launch the candidate that the Ji family is optimistic about.

This guess is very likely, Chunjia's face sank, and he snorted: "Is it so easy to fool me like this? ”

Of course, he is not a good foolish son of heaven, so he summoned Qin Tianjian early the next morning, and the outside world does not know what the monarch and ministers said, only that the officials of Qin Tianjian made some calculations after leaving the palace, and they went to the table in the afternoon of the same day, saying that since this year, the harem has been troubled, especially the three queen mothers are now sick on the bed, and even Princess Minghui is not good.

Of course, Chunjia couldn't ignore such a big thing, and immediately summoned people to him again and asked who ordered the three queen mothers and princesses to be so hard-hitting?

…… This pot was naturally detained on Ji's head.

Supervisor Qintian was straightforward: "Last year's summer banquet, the Duchess of Ye Guo died in the palace, which shows that the blessing of the Ji family is declining, and even the Duchess of Guo is difficult to die well!" Because of the filial piety of the Duchess of Ye Guo, the Ji family left the dynasty for many years, during this period, there was nothing inside and outside the palace, but the concubines frequently spread good news, and at the beginning of this year, the prince and princess were added. ”

"But as the Ji family gradually returned to the court, things in the palace increased, not only the Fuyang Tomb Incident, but none of the three queen mothers were spared!"

"According to the courtier's reckoning,

If you want the three queen mothers to recover, you must make the father and son of Ye Guogong escape into the empty door, be vegetarian for many years, and pray for the blessing of the three queen mothers! ”

Ji will definitely not admit it: "Nonsense! It's ridiculous! How can there be a reason for a foreign minister to punish the queen mother and the princess?! This is simply Qin Tianjian's evil words to confuse the public! ”

They also talked about the fact that the Empress Dowager and Empress Dowager Ji prayed for the emperor's heirs, saying that the emperor can have both children and daughters, which is the sincerity of the two elders that touched the heavens and the earth.

What was Qin Tianjian doing at that time?

Didn't do anything!

You must know that it has been almost ten years since the emperor ascended the throne, has Qin Tian ever calculated anything?!

No!

It shows that this Qin Tianjian is purely a corpse vegetarian meal, and cannot be trusted!

At this time, the royalist faction that supported Chunjia came out to pull the shelf, and said to the Ji family in front of everyone: "The most noble of the three queen mothers, the queen mother, is the daughter of the Ji family, and Princess Minghui is also the grandson of the Ji family. Qin Tianjian's words may be difficult for you to accept, but after all, this is for the good of the three queen dowagers and Princess Minghui. Now they are all bedridden and in serious condition. Why don't you follow Qin Tianjian's advice for the time being, and let Ye Guogong and his son temporarily enter the empty door to try? ”

"If it doesn't work, it's not too late to punish Qin Tianjian again."

"If it works, don't you Ji Clan want the three queen mothers and Princess Minghui to be safe and happy?"

The Ji family was stupid to agree, and while they were looking for reasons to object, they arranged for people to pick on the side of Qin Tianjian and the royalists, in short, the ministers were in a mess with each other.

In the midst of such a quarrel, Empress Dowager Yuan's birthday arrived.

Because she is still recuperating in Miyagi, Yun Fenghuang sent someone to ask for instructions in advance, but this year's birthday banquet was canceled, and the money was donated to the Tzu Chi Center near Gyeonggi to pray for the blessing of the country.

For this reason, Chunjia wrote a special essay himself, praising the good deeds of the queen mother.

Yun Fenghuang also offered a plan, asked people to carve an inscription, and stood outside the Tzu Chi Institute for people to pay respects, which was regarded as a birthday gift from the emperor and concubine to the Empress Dowager Yuan.

Due to the destruction of the Spring Villa last year, coupled with Chunjia's busyness, and the fact that the Empress Dowager Yuan now does not need the emperor to raise herself to prove her special status, in short, Chunjia did not personally go out to hunt for the queen mother this year.

However, two days after Empress Dowager Yuan's birthday, the palace was still lively.

This is because the beauties offered by Princess Lin have arrived, and the two newcomers who have been sealed as concubines in advance are said to be good at singing and dancing - this is something that Yun Fenghuang and other concubines didn't pay attention to, but when they were sent over by Princess Lin's people, the messenger repeatedly recommended their Lingbo dance to Chunjia.

Chunjia first came to give face to King Zhou, secondly, he was quite tired these days and wanted to take a breath, and thirdly, for the sake of the generous gifts sent by Princess Lin, in short, he had to agree to let the second concubine dance.

When Yun Fenghuang learned of this, he proposed that it would be better to get together in the harem, and if it was lively, maybe it would be able to dilute the sickness of Empress Dowager Ji's mother and daughter?

Chunjia agreed to this suggestion, so she asked Concubine Xuan Ruifei to pack up the venue and prepare

Banquet.

Concubine Xuan Ruifei was quite resentful: "Those two have not officially entered the palace before they have come out with such moths, Niangniang, you are also up to them?" ”

"Or else?" Yun Fenghuang shook the fan and said with an indifferent face, "Your Majesty has agreed, can we still stop them from coming in?" As for the dance, His Majesty nodded in front of the envoy of the Zhou Palace, and it is not something we can veto. In this case, it is better to accompany His Majesty to enjoy it. ”

"Otherwise, let Your Majesty watch it alone, and maybe you will see it in your heart."

"Now that these of us are all accompanied by the side, we are very beautiful, and we are very beautiful compared to Huan Feiyan."

It makes sense for the second concubine to think about it, and she thought of a way not to let the newcomers show off: "Actually, there are not a few of us who can sing and dance. Since you want to have a banquet, it would be a little thin to let the new second concubine dance, why don't you also ask the people below to show their hands, and everyone will be lively? ”

Concubine Rui also said: "Sister Xuanfei is also good at singing and dancing when she is in the boudoir, especially the green waist dances very well. ”

"Nope." Concubine Xuan had regret in her eyes, she felt that the green waist was really good, but her identity was placed here, so she couldn't go out in person to compete for favor with the two concubines sent by the palace, right?

She couldn't afford to lose this man.

After all, he wants to be a successor, how can he be like those favorite concubines and demon concubines, regardless of decency in order to please the emperor?

So he shook his head and said, "We only learned these things casually twice, how can we be the same as those specialized dancers?" ”

Aren't the two concubines just two well-trained dancing girls!

Yun Fenghuang lazily fluttered his fan, nodding indifferently: "Since Concubine Xuan is unwilling to end, let the palace concubines watch it themselves, and if there are those who are willing to end, practice in advance, don't lose face in front of the second concubine at that time, make people suspect that the people in our palace are not as powerful as those from the palace." ”

So the matter was decided - in a few days, the lake in the mountain behind the palace was opened.
