Chapter 143: The East Strikes the West

The worries of Ji's father and son were soon passed on to the palace.

"Set up the Qingci Palace." The queen looked at the secret letter in her hand, stuffed it into the gilded incense burner next to her, watched it be burned up little by little, took a gold pick to scatter the ashes, and turned her head to order.

"What's the panic?" Half an hour later, in the side hall of Qingci Palace, the Empress Dowager slowly put down the tea bowl and said lightly, "The mourning family is in this palace, you are also in this palace, Chunjia and her son, aren't you in this palace?" This palace city is said to belong to the Gongxiang clan, but since the later years of Emperor Shenzong, it is my Ji clan who is in charge of the house inside and out. ”

"The business since the Three Dynasties has been able to erase all traces of Chunjia's pro-political years?"

"Now Chunjiadu is still staying in the palace calmly, why should we be scared first?"

Empress Ji said in a low voice: "Daughter-in-law Sun is not afraid, but the matter of the Chao family last time, it can be seen that Chunjia has already had bad intentions!" When he sent someone to pinch the Chao clan back, he was still mediocre in front of us. It has been almost ten years since he entered the palace, and in the past ten years, our family has been quite relaxed, who knows if he is here in Qingci Palace, leaving any backhand? ”

The Empress Dowager pondered for a while and said, "The mourning family is close to the elderly. Even if it is the palace people who have made up for it in the past two years, they have all been thoroughly checked. I don't think it's going to be a big deal. But the queen, you should also be cautious. Yuan's, don't you have a thorn in your eye for a day or two...... I might even take the opportunity to take your breath away! ”

"Imperial grandmother, please rest assured, granddaughter-in-law will take care of it." The queen said calmly, "And there seems to be a quarrel between the Queen Mother and the Queen Mother, and the Queen Mother was sick before, which was done by the Queen Mother Mother." It's just that they have the ambition to hide it from Chunjia together, but they make Chunjia think that we did it. At this time, the Empress Dowager's thoughts are probably on the side of Jiashan Palace, and she may still be staring at Xuanqing Palace, which has always had a good relationship with Jiashan Palace, but she doesn't have much time to pay attention to her granddaughter-in-law. ”

The Empress Dowager's eyes showed a little regret: "A moment of negligence back then made my family fall into such a passive situation!" ”

The queen comforted her: "It is not yet known who will kill the deer in the future, no matter what, you are the queen of the Divine Sect after all, and the elder of the royal family!" ”

"At the beginning, my family chose to establish Chunjia, although they had some thoughts of seizing power, in fact, they were also sincerely reconciled with him." The Empress Dowager said with emotion, "Otherwise, how could you send the most prominent concubine in the family to the palace as the queen?" It's a pity that you haven't had children all these years. Otherwise, the position of the crown prince would have been set a long time ago, and Chun Jia'an would have today's opportunity? ”

"It's all granddaughter-in-law useless." Empress Ji hurriedly left her seat to bow down and pleaded guilty.

The Empress Dowager sighed and asked her to get up: "The mourning family didn't mean to blame you, and you can't be blamed for this." ”

The queen said in a low voice: "Although Chunjia's earlier visits to the Middle Palace were not much, they were not small. Later, Yuan Neem's cheap maid made frequent troubles, and in order to calm things, he went to his granddaughter-in-law's place less. The granddaughter-in-law was proud of her family at that time, and she also kept her identity, although she often gave Yuan Neem a good look for this, but she never tried to keep Chunjia...... Therefore, there is nothing to do in the next nine years, and the granddaughter-in-law is too slack

for the sake of it. ”

"It's not your fault." The Empress Dowager wanted to speak and stopped, and finally sighed and waved her hand, "That's it, you can go back." The matter of the Rui Beast, Chun Jia personally went to the Royal Beast Garden, I am afraid that he will not give up easily, and there will be trouble next. Every time there is a little turmoil in the previous dynasty, the virtuous concubines will not be at peace, and you must also cultivate your spirit, so as not to be unable to deal with it. ”

Sending the queen away, the empress dowager looked at the empty hall and was silent for a long time, then sighed faintly, and called her henchman to come to her, "Bring a message to the family, up and down the Royal Beast Garden...... I've managed to take care of it! ”

And at about the same time, Yun Fenghuang was listening to Chen Zhu's announcement: "The queen went to Qingci Palace after taking the lamp, and when she returned to Yanfu Palace, the palace doors were locked?" What is she doing in Qingci Palace so late? ”

Qing people speculated on the side: "What's wrong with not being the empress dowager?" After all, the matter of the Rui Beast, now there is everything outside the world, if it really falls on Ji's head, how can he not call it sick in advance? ”

"If you call it sick, now that the Queen Mother is not in the palace, the Queen Mother and the Queen Mother are both sick, since the Queen Mother has gone to Qingci Palace, where can she leave?" Yun Fenghuang said lightly, "I have to stay in front of the Empress Dowager to fulfill my filial piety...... I'm afraid that I didn't go over specifically to pass the word, so of course I left. ”

Chen Zhu sneered and said: "The slave is incompetent, but she has never asked what the queen said after she went to Qingci Palace. I only knew that the Queen Mother talked to the Queen Mother alone for a while in the side hall, and the Queen Mother came out. ”

This is no wonder Chen Zhu, after all, the Empress Dowager, as the wife of Emperor Shenzong, has lived in Qingci Palace for more years than Yun Fenghuang, if the news of Qingci Palace can still be heard by an inner servant with Chen Zhu's qualifications and status, the Ji family will not give the emperor a headache so far.

"If you can't ask, you can't ask." Yun Fenghuang squinted, thought for a while, and said indifferently, "Anyway, Your Majesty has his own opinions, let's just watch the fun." ”

When she said this, she sneered a few times, very unwilling.

Because after the news of the Rui Beast's accident came, when Chunjia returned to the palace from the Imperial Beast Garden, Yun Fenghuang followed Concubine Xuan and Concubine Rui immediately rushed over to ask for warmth, and accompanied the emperor to scold the Ji family for being mad - after that, Yun Fenghuang sent the second concubine away, and wanted to ask some news in private, but Chunjia was very tight-lipped, full of "I am really touched by the love concubine so compassionate", and after being moved, he mentioned that he was talking about him left and right.

If this was Qi Jiulu, Yun Fenghuang would have already been furious and asked him if he didn't trust himself.

But Chun Jia, it's not that Concubine Xian is extraordinarily tolerant of him, but Yun Fenghuang knew early on that the most important thing in this person's heart was his own throne, and she understood that this kind of person who cares about the throne can only trust herself, and she will keep a hand for everyone. After all, she is similar, on the road to the throne, she doesn't believe in anyone, she would have put her heart to her mother a year earlier, and now she even uses the Jiang family's bitter words as a reference.

I didn't bother to touch the soft nails, so I said a few words of comfort without smiling and retired.

…… Well, despite that, she still felt that Chunjia was sorry for herself.

There is no why,

That's what I think anyway.

Chunjia was probably very busy this night, so he didn't go to any of the concubines to spend the night, but lived alone in the dormitory of the Taichu Palace.

Early the next morning, the concubines got up and went to Yanfu Palace to ask the queen for peace, in fact, Chunjia had just told the queen two days ago that she should be sick again, so this please should be canceled.

But Chunjia can make the queen sick, but it is not good for the queen mother to also call it sick - so no matter what the queen is, the concubines always have to go to the outside of Yanfu Palace to take a walk.

On this day, the queen did not show up, as before, let a palace person come out, saying that the queen's phoenix body was against harmony, and let Concubine Xian take the lead to go to Qingci Palace to ask for peace.

The Empress Dowager of Qingci Palace didn't look like she was willing to accept the invitation from the beginning, but in fact it was.

The Empress Dowager retired to Qingci Palace from the time when her niece was the queen, and she didn't ask about palace affairs, she was clean for so many years, and her life was leisurely and lazy, and she really took care of her days. Suddenly, she had to get up early and dress up, waiting for a bunch of juniors who didn't like it to come to say goodbye, and the Queen Mother was actually very annoyed.

But no matter how annoying it is, when the Ji family's front and harem were repeatedly suppressed, she had to toss like this.

She has to tell these six palaces why she is favored and what is the upstart, and she still needs to bow down in front of their Ji daughters.

It's just that in terms of the current situation in the palace, the concubines in power and the Ji family are tired of each other, and after the salute, it's almost the same - earlier, in order to cheer up the Ji family's momentum, the empress dowager also thought about verbally beating the concubines, but who told her to meet Yun Fenghuan?

The Empress Dowager said that she could contradict ten sentences, and she was still the kind that Zhen Zhen had words and did not fall into the handle.

Her current position, although she still has to be respectful in front of the Queen Mother, is not something that the Queen Mother can dispose of in a word.

Let's make trouble in front of Chunjia, Chunjia apologized and admitted his mistake with a guilty face, and it was over: "Imperial grandmother, don't be like Concubine Xian, she is young and ignorant......"

The Empress Dowager wanted to be like Yun Fenghuan, but the problem was that the emperor perfunctory her with a good attitude, and resolutely protected Concubine Xian with a general attitude.

It was about the same on this day, and the Empress Dowager asked the Empress Dowager of Love, the Empress Dowager and the Empress, as well as the situation of several imperial heirs, and let them disperse.

The palace concubines surrounded the concubines and walked out of the Qingci Palace, and they were boarding and leaving, at this time, they saw a small chamberlain running in the direction from the front, and the red face seemed to be very anxious, and they ran not far away and were tripped by a bush of grass blades poking out of the roadside flower beds, and climbed two handfuls before they got up, which showed how heavy the fall was, but they didn't care at all, and almost climbed into the Qingci Palace with a rolling belt - this situation is afraid that there will be no big event, so that the empress dowager and the errand runner are so out of shape and desperate - the concubines hurriedly ended the greetings, Each urged Bu Yuan to return to the palace.

Yun Fenghuang returned to the Huanhua Hall here, and before he could take off his cloak, he asked Chen Zhu, who was also running and was sweating, and had been waiting under the corridor for a while: "How is it?" ”

"It's all up today

, the main thing to discuss is the matter of the beast. Chen Zhu hadn't rested yet, there was a slight gasp in his voice, and his speed of speech was a little faster than usual, and he said hurriedly, "At first, Yiguo Gong and Ouyang Dafu argued with Ye Guogong Minyang Hou and them...... Later, the envoy of the Imperial City asked to see him outside, saying that he was torturing the people of the Imperial Beast Garden overnight, and the matter of the Rui Beast had not been clarified, but another major event was found out! ”

"Oh?" Yun Fenghuang originally listened expressionlessly, because at today's court meeting, it is a matter of course to dump each other's pots, there is nothing surprising, only when he heard the last sentence did he raise his eyebrows and asked, "But what is the big deal?" ”
