Chapter 63: The Plucked Phoenix

The phoenix is the bird in the minds of people for thousands of years, is the king of birds, the symbol of peace in the world, the ancients believed that when the time is peaceful and prosperous, there will be a phoenix to fly, the so-called dragon and phoenix are auspicious.

Since the Qin and Han dynasties, the dragon has gradually become a symbol of the emperor, and the emperor's concubines began to call the phoenix than the phoenix, and the image of the phoenix has gradually been indistinguishable from the male and female, and the whole has been feminized.

Modern people believe that the phoenix is the ancients evolved from the pheasant as the prototype, because their feathers are extremely beautiful and a symbol of good luck, so there is an old saying: the phoenix with plucked feathers is not as good as a chicken!

And Zheng Guifei felt that her hair had almost been plucked out in just a few days, and as soon as Wanli, her own shade tree, fell, it suddenly changed from a phoenix to a chicken, and could be slaughtered at any time.

Concubine Zheng Guifei, who fell from a height of 10,000 miles to the bottom of the abyss, finally recognized the true face of the seemingly loyal Zhu Changluo.

Zhu Changluo sighed when he seemed helpless to reject her edict as the queen, and he probably laughed in his heart, that Sun Ruyou, the waiter of the Ministry of Rites, was his trust at all, and he was immediately promoted to the Ministry of Rites.

Then he found a group of first-class officials to drive her out of the Qianqing Palace, making her disgraced and embarrassed, and many concubines in the harem were watching her jokes, which also blamed herself for being too arrogant and domineering before, relying on Wanli's favor, arrogant, no one in her eyes, almost no one made a few intimate sisters, since the death of her henchmen Pang Bao and Liu Cheng, there are few eunuchs who dare to give her ideas.

It is estimated that Zhu Changluo is sharpening the knife now, and when this knife is sharpened and sharpened, it will fall on his hairless neck at any time, but what can he do, he can only stay in the Yuanhe Hall of this Yikun Palace and worry and helpless alone.

Early in the morning, the sorrowful Zheng Guifei was anxious alone, and a eunuch reported that the guest Yinyue asked to see her, Zheng Guifei hurriedly said please, people don't look at it before, she was just a wet nurse, but now it is not ordinary, not red but very red, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it is red and purple.

The bewitching guest Yinyue walked into the Yuanhe Hall with a twist on the waist of the water snake, and bowed down to Zheng Guifei Yingying: "The slave family meets the concubine Niangniang." ”

Concubine Zheng Guifei personally stepped forward to help her up, and said with a smile: "My sister has seen the outside, we have been falling in love, and the sisters can be commensurate." ”

Keyinyue's watery peach blossom eyes showed a smile, and said softly: "Since the concubine Niangniang loves the slave family so much, the slave family is not welcome, the saint died a few days ago, presumably my sister was extremely sad in her heart, and the slave family came to visit my sister and asked my sister to mourn." ”

Zheng Guifei took Ke Yinyue's hand and walked to the table and sat down, and told the eunuch to pour tea, Zheng Guifei sighed and said: "Since Yijun died, I have not thought about tea and food, it feels like the sky has fallen, and I really want to go back with Yijun." ”

Ke Yinyue said: "Sister can't be like this, after all, there is still King Fu's filial piety, if my sister can't think about it, wouldn't it make King Fu lose both parents all of a sudden, and the blow to King Fu will be too great." ”

Concubine Zheng sighed: "If I hadn't been relieved to go to Xun'er, I would have gone with the emperor a long time ago, alas." ”

The two were silent for a while, and Concubine Zheng said: "Sister, there were too many gossips about me before, which made His Royal Highness the Crown Prince misunderstand me very deeply, my sister has a very good relationship with the eldest son of the emperor, can you let the eldest son of the emperor often say a few kind words in front of His Royal Highness the Prince, my sister has thanked me here." ”

Ke Yinyue said: "My sister is outside, I will definitely try my best to deal with it, but His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has a deep grudge, I'm afraid it won't be so easy." ”

Concubine Zheng was flustered for a while, and she was a little at a loss: "How can that be?" ”

Ke Yinyue thought about it for a while, and said softly: "The slave family has a way, my sister can try it." ”

Concubine Zheng seemed to grasp a life-saving straw, and hurriedly said: "What kind of method, sister, let's talk about it." ”

Ke Yinyue said: "The slave family has been in Ciqing Palace for many years, and he also knows the temperament and character of His Royal Highness the Prince, he has been poor since he was a child, and the concubines are also designated, I don't think it is as good as my sister to send a few beauties to him, I think my sister's impression will be greatly changed." ”

Concubine Zheng hesitated: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince doesn't seem to be a lustful person, can he do it?" ”

Ke Yinyue said with a smile: "Which mouse doesn't make holes, which cat doesn't steal fish, he must have been suppressed by the emperor before, he didn't dare to indulge, I don't know his temperament, although my sister can rest assured, this method is absolutely effective, after a period of time to send him some antique calligraphy and paintings, I think the impression of my sister will slowly change, and it is unknown that my sister will be able to add the queen mother at that time." ”

Concubine Zheng thought for a moment, nodded and said, "Well, thank you, sister, I'll go and choose the palace maid in a while." ”

Ke Yinyue said with a smile: "Sister is confused, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince grew up in the palace since he was a child, what kind of palace maid has never seen it, I'm tired of seeing it, how can those people impress His Royal Highness the Prince." ”

Concubine Zheng Guifei thought about it, and asked, "Then what should I do according to my sister's opinion?" ”

Ke Yinyue said with a smile: "Naturally, he has to feel fresh, that can be tempting, according to the little sister's opinion, it is better to buy a few red people for him, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has grown up in the palace constraints since he was a child, and he is used to seeing the palace maids who are well-behaved and conformist, and the concubines are also all beautiful and small jasper, one by one, they are obedient and laughing, but I am afraid that I will be tired of vomiting for a long time." ”

Concubine Zheng hesitated: "This, this is looking for this kind of person in the inner court, I am afraid, I am only afraid of the criticism of the ministers, I am afraid..."

Ke Yinyue interrupted with a smile: "How can there be so many fears, as long as His Royal Highness the Crown Prince likes it, what do the ministers say, even if they say it, sister, don't forget that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is in charge of the ministers." ”

Concubine Zheng thought for a while, got up and said, "Sister, wait a while." With that, he walked into the inner room.

After a while, Concubine Zheng Guifei came out with a very delicate small wooden box from the inside, handed it to Ke Yinyue and said: "Sister, there are a few pieces of jewelry in this box that are not badly made, sister, you take it back and wear it yourself, don't dislike it." ”

Ke Yinyue hurriedly pushed it, and Concubine Zheng couldn't help but stuff it into her hand.

At this time, a eunuch took out a tray covered with a red cloth from the inside, Zheng Guifei lifted the red cloth, there were a few small gold ingots in the tray, Zheng Guifei said: "Sister, my sister can't get out of the palace, you do my sister a favor, you do this for me, your relationship with Jinzhong is also good, Jinzhong is now also deeply favored by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and the eldest son of the emperor, begging him to say a few more good words for his sister, after the matter is completed, my sister will not forget the benefits of the two of you." ”

Ke Yinyue said with a smile: "Sister don't worry, my sister will find someone for you first, and you will be satisfied, even my sister can match me, do you think His Royal Highness the Crown Prince can not be moved?" My sister retired first. ”

Concubine Zheng hurriedly said: "Don't worry, it's not too late to eat lunch first and then go." ”

Ke Yinyue crossed her waist and said with a smile: "My sister's business is my sister's business, how can I delay it, it can be done within three days, sister, you wait for my good news." ”

After speaking, he took the small wooden box and the gold ingots in the tray and left, and said in his heart: "What kind of green vegetables and tofu do you want to eat here with you, or accompany the school brother to eat meat and drink." ”

Zheng Guifei looked at Ke Yinyue who twisted the waist of the water snake and left, although this money was nothing to her, but she felt that her hair had indeed been plucked out, if it was before, who would dare to be so arrogant in front of her, alas, the falling phoenix is not as good as a chicken, and the old saying is not deceitful!
