Chapter 188: Diligent and studious
Actually, Chunjia didn't mean it, but teased casually.
was said by Yun Fenghuan, and the embarrassment that had been covered up before floated again, hesitated for a while, and tried to coax her: "Why don't I feel sorry for you?" No, it's so late, didn't you come back to you? Something like this happened today, I have to go to the Queen Mother to offer condolences? ”
"When did the concubine say that you couldn't go to the Queen Mother?" Yun Fenghuang snorted and laughed, "You went to the Spring Palace at noon, and you stayed for two and a half hours before coming back with a stick of incense, did the concubine say anything?" ”
If you really don't care, don't remember the time so clearly!
Chun Jia sneered, smiled and continued to coax: "It's not that the Queen Mother is worried about you, and she asked over and over for a long time, so she delayed?" ”
"Of course the concubine knows that the queen mother is worried about the concubine." He didn't mention Empress Dowager Yuan's concern for Yun Fenghuan, but when he mentioned it, Yun Fenghuan smiled more on his lips, turned sideways, and supported the edge of the couch with one hand, this posture made the long hair that was still half dry scatter a lot, and under the candle flame, it became more and more obvious that her skin was like jade, radiant, and her sparkling eyes seemed to be mocking, and she said lightly, "Not long after Your Majesty left, Aunt Dip Liu came over, and she accompanied the concubine to say a cup of tea before leaving." ”
“…… Aunt Dip Liu is not good at words, and the concubine should not be misunderstood. Chunjia struggled, "The Queen Mother is really worried about you, but her illness has not healed, and it is inconvenient to come, so she ......"
This is too unconscionable, the Empress Dowager Yuan has not gone to Huzhu Palace once or twice during this time, and sometimes she goes to Chunjia twice a day to feel that her conscience is not clear, and she sighed halfway through and gave up: "Today I have broken my promise, and the concubine will open her mouth if she wants any compensation!" ”
Yun Fenghuang put his hand on his knee and said with a smile: "Really? ”
Chunjia hesitated and said cautiously: "...... The fourth concubine is impossible! ”
Seeing that she nodded and was about to speak, she hurriedly added, "It's even more impossible for me to let the queen do anything for the time being!" ”
"Is the concubine such a disproportionate person?" Yun Fenghuan glanced at him resentfully when he heard this, "Your Majesty said that I would stay here to accompany my concubine today, but I left halfway and only returned at this moment." Where does the concubine not know her weight? How could such a whimsical request be made? ”
said, "The concubine just thinks that Her Royal Highness Princess Penglai is very cute, and she just wants to be able to talk to Her Royal Highness!" ”
This is the implication that if you want to let the children of the Xie family still be the master, the golden branches and jade leaves that I hope to give to the Xie family are Princess Penglai.
It's not that Yun Fenghuang dislikes Princess Minghui and Princess Jinyun, and says something unpleasant to Ji Ming, just the gap between the lintel of the Xie family and the heavenly family, and the two princesses are still in their prime and have never been married, even if they sit on the three and four this year, no, even if they have gray temples this year, and their children and grandchildren are full, and they want to descend the most outstanding unmarried son of the Xie family, it is all Xie Gaopan.
Don't talk about her at this point, even if she is a colt, such as Xie Fu and Xie Wudisputing, she also knows it in her heart.
What they want is the honor and wealth of the princess's representative, as well as the opportunity to be promoted quickly and justifiably brought by the status of a concubine, the channel to squeeze into the top circle of the dynasty as quickly as possible, and the future of the entire family...... So as long as it's a princess, it doesn't matter what the princess looks like, whether her personality is good or not, whether there are other people in her heart, or even whether she is innocent or not.
The problem is that there are three princesses with three colts.
For Chunjia, this kind of henchman who is also a brother-in-law, of course, the more the better, he only hates his sister not enough. But for Yun Fenghuang, it is impossible for the emperor to recruit three Xie sons as brothers-in-law, which means that after the Xie family gets married, there are still two competitors in terms of the emperor's favor.
If she has the opportunity, of course she will help her family get ahead.
Let's start with the princess, for example.
Princess Minghui is the only daughter of Xiaozong, and the government and the opposition acquiesce that her treatment must be the best among the princesses.
Jinyun and Penglai, as well as Kunze, the husband's family can't be prominent with her, and the husband can't provoke her, otherwise, Chunjia will be suspected of treating her father and princess badly.
In Yun Fenghuang's opinion, the possibility of his brother Shang Minghui is relatively low.
Because the Xie family is too cold, even if Xie Fu and Xie Wuzheng are only angry when they end up, Chunjia secretly pulls the bias and gives them a champion to do, it is not enough to block the world's mouths.
However, Jinyun and Penglai are more likely.
According to Yunfenghuang's previous recommendation and Chunjia's needs, he prefers Xie Fu, and Xie Fu loves beauty, so in fact, Princess Jinyun is more suitable.
But among the three princesses, Princess Penglai is the youngest.
According to the order of the eldest and youngest, it was almost time to pick the horse, and it was her turn to pick her two sisters after they had finished picking.
Yun Fenghuang intended to let his brother be such a bottom, that is, the three horses that will be freshly baked next year, and the lintel of the Xie family is the lowest.
In this way, it is most likely to receive the greatest support from the emperor.
After all, the Ji clan is still in the rut, and Chunjia definitely doesn't want to cultivate a second Ji clan.
In this case, the more humble the identity of the colt, the more likely it is to be loved by the Son of Heaven.
If the children of the Xie family made Jinyun's concubine, maybe the emperor would choose a concubine from the Hanmen scholars who was worse than the children of the Xie family to Penglai.
In that case, I can't say it, the one who enjoyed Wei Changkong's treatment back then was Penglai's concubine.
Therefore, since Chunjia opened her mouth to make amends, Yun Fenghuang unceremoniously called Penglai's name, of course she would not say her true thoughts, but said: "Your Majesty, it's not that the concubine despises the golden branches and jade leaves, it's just that although the concubine has not been in the palace for a long time, the two princesses have changed their ways to run forward, but they have specially pulled the concubine several times!" Although the concubines didn't think that it was just cousins talking about something, they were afraid that the princesses would not be happy in their hearts, so they felt embarrassed to think about it. ”
Especially Princess Minghui, Chunjia talked to Yun Fenghuang about the conditions and asked her to help break up Minghui's infatuation with Ji Ming.
At that time, he acted so well, who would have thought that it would not take long for him to become pro-government?
I can't say, Chunjia swore at that time, and Bacheng was afraid that he would not be enough to confuse Ji's family, this was thinking that if Yunfeng Huang was a whistleblower, he could also show the extent to which he was elevated, so that Ji's peace of mind and comfort.
"I know this." Chunjia listened at the moment, pondered for a moment, and said, "However, there is a sentence that I also want to say ahead: the golden branch and jade leaf can be abnormally lowered to the new branch jinshi, but it is impossible to descend the favorite concubine brother at will. If the children of the Xie family have nothing in the scientific examination, or their ranking is not high, don't blame me for being the princess and choosing another lover! ”
Although he had long been mentally prepared to treat his father's flesh and blood badly for his own status, he was not shameless to the point of trampling the three princesses.
Marriage will not be allowed
They are happy, but Chunjia will still guarantee them for their marriage and post-marriage treatment.
Yun Fenghuang smiled and said, "Who is Your Majesty as a concubine?" If the name of the concubine brother falls to Sun Mountain, there is no need for His Majesty to say, the concubine has no face to mention this matter! ”
She will ask Wei Hengyan to bring a message to her mother's family tomorrow, the emperor takes a fancy to the Xie family as a concubine, and he doesn't believe that Cui Wan, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, has repeatedly avoided the emperor's edge at this time, and after knowing the news, he dares to let the Xie family's children be wiped out!
I don't know what she had in mind, Chunjia breathed a sigh of relief, rubbed the top of her hair with a smile, and said, "Then it's decided, don't be angry?" ”
"When has the concubine ever been angry?" Yun Fenghuan hated him, "Is the concubine such a stingy person? Such a thing happened in Xuanqing Palace, if the concubine was not frightened, she would have wanted to hurry up to appease the Empress Dowager! His Majesty first came to see the concubine, and then went to visit the Empress Dowager on behalf of the concubine, and the concubine was too late to rejoice, how could she be angry with Your Majesty? Concubines are not such ignorant! ”
Chunjia smiled and sighed: "When you are willing to be sensible, you are really sensible." ”
It's a pity that his real concubine is unhappy and sensible most of the time, and he still messes around most of the time.
Yun Fenghuang pretended not to hear it, and stuffed the handkerchief that had been put aside just now back into his hand: "Your Majesty, the concubine's hair hasn't dried yet!" It's so late, if you don't dry it, I'm afraid I'll have a headache when I get up! ”
"You still say you won't summon me?" Chunjia scolded with a smile, took the veil in the end, and twisted her quite rustily.
Yun Fenghuang then turned around and picked up the book to read, Chun Jia was suddenly unhappy: "I am waiting for you here, you don't talk to me, but you still go to read, what is this for me?" ”
"Isn't the concubine afraid that she is only a shallow learner and will be tired of being tired by His Majesty, so she will seize the time and increase her knowledge?" Yun Fenghuang was aggrieved, "Your Majesty still wants to talk about the concubine, isn't it annoying the concubine at this time?" ”
Chun Jia said: "When will you be able to change your problem of hitting a rake in trouble?" And what books did you read, and what did you gain in knowledge? Don't think I don't know, you ...... here."
As she spoke, she snatched the book in her hand and flipped through it, and couldn't help but be dumbfounded!
Pinching the scroll for two breaths, the emperor closed it calmly, looked up at Yun Fenghuan, and his expression was very complicated, "You...... Where did this book come from? ”
Yun Fenghuang leaned forward, put his arms against Xiao Ji, and smiled at him with his chin propped up: "Just caught the assassin, I asked someone to go to the Jiaofang Division and the guards on duty to search the place where they were on duty, I forgot who hid it privately, and the concubine personally went to look for clues, and I thought it was very good, so I detained it." ”
She asked the emperor with a curious expression, "Your Majesty, have you read this book?" Isn't it fresh? Wouldn't the concubine's half a day's hard work be in vain? ”
"......" Chunjia looked at her still childish face, the innocence between her eyebrows, as if she was pampered in a deep mansion compound that was not familiar with the world and had not been contaminated with the slightest red dust and dirt, and then looked down at the hot and straightforward drawing on the fire avoidance map in her hand, and recalled that when she had just entered, she asked the palace people to wait, and she was generous and frank and flipped through the book, and was silent for a moment, and said slowly, "...... I haven't seen it. ”
Before the words fell, Yun Fenghuang had already probed over, kissed him, and said with a smile: "Then Your Majesty said, does the concubine need to increase her knowledge?" ”
Looking at the smile like a flower close at hand, Chunjia's breath froze for a moment, closed his eyes, opened them for a moment, threw the handkerchief in his hand, and the corners of his mouth were slightly bent, and he had neatly ripped open his clothes.
