Chapter 67: Tell Him Not to Come, I Don’t Want to See Him!
Yun Fenghuang came back to his senses and felt a little bit dumbfounded. He flicked his sleeves and said, "I won't disturb Your Majesty from talking to Empress Jieyu."
He turned around and left, not bothering to look at the so-called blue hibiscus that was already close at hand.
As expected, Yuan Yuniang didn't mean to stop her. She only stepped forward and grabbed Emperor Chunjia's sleeves to ask... She had already walked out of a stone's throw away, and she could still hear the sharp cries over there, and the emperor was trying his best to stop her. Explaining, he curled his lips unconsciously, and then thought: "How can Ms. Yuan Yu leave Huzhu Palace?"
This Empress Jieyu should still be under grounding, right?
Could it be Queen Mother Ji?
She thought about it for a while and unknowingly came to an unfamiliar place. Not far away, the guards crossed their axes and asked her to stop, because if they went further, they would be where China and North Korea were.
"Your Excellency, do you want to go back?" Yun Fenghuang turned back upon seeing this, but after all, it was his first time to come to Taichu Palace. After a few steps, he still couldn't tell the direction. He was pondering whether he should find a palace servant to guide him, when suddenly someone was not far away. He asked in a deep voice, "If so, please go this way."
She turned around and saw Zheng Fengting standing at the foot of the white marble steps with his sleeves rolled up. He had a long body and downcast eyebrows.
"Thank you, General Zheng." Yun Fenghuang thought for a while, folded his hands and walked in the direction he indicated.
Zheng Fengteng followed her a few steps behind, calling out reminders every time he reached a fork in the road. After going around and around like this, he soon saw a familiar building in front of him.
"Your Highness, your three highnesses should still be in the side hall in front at this moment." At this time, Zheng Fengchen came forward and said slowly, "Even though your highnesses have left, your maid must still be waiting."
Yun Fenghuang chuckled and thanked him again.
Zheng Fengfeng said "I don't dare" and said, "If you have no other instructions, I will retire first."
Saying this, he cupped his fists and saluted, turned around and strode away.
Yun Fenghuang stared at his back thoughtfully for a moment, then Shi Shiran walked into the side hall.
As a result, when he entered, he saw three princesses looking at him with strange and complicated eyes.
"Yue Jieyu is here." Yun Fenghuang thought that they already knew that Yuan Mei had come to court and went to see Chunjia. Now they wanted to watch the excitement. After seeing the ceremony, he said, "Your Majesty, you have empress Jieyu at your service." , I guess I am not needed for the time being. Besides, Mr. Ji is gone... Your Highnesses, I wonder if I can go back to Xi Xingxuan? I plan to move somewhere today."
"Why is Yue Jieyu here?" However, the three princesses were startled when they heard this. Princess Jinyun said in surprise, "Isn't she still grounded? How dare she leave Huzhu Palace and come to the court? Previously, my mother and queen wanted to She comes here from time to time to disturb the emperor's studies, but she personally summoned Mrs. Xingningbo to the palace to reprimand him!"
Yun Fenghuang was also shocked after hearing this: "Yue Jieyu didn't come here?"
"What is she doing here?" Princess Jinyun frowned, "She doesn't like us."
It seems that Yuan Yuniang not only has a bad relationship with the concubines, but also offends her sisters-in-law...
"I don't know anymore, or am I going back to the harem now to ask the Queen for instructions?" Yun Fenghuang thought in his mind and asked with a smile, "I wonder what your three highnesses think?"
Princess Minghui looked at Princess Penglai subconsciously, and Princess Jinyun also looked at Princess Penglai subconsciously. Princess Penglai... Princess Penglai remained expressionless and silent.
There was a brief stalemate in the side hall, and finally Princess Jinyun said resignedly: "Just now Yue Jieyu was looking for you and the emperor brother, so the emperor asked General Zheng to send you back?"
"... Just now Yue Jieyu was very angry when she saw me with Your Majesty, so I avoided it first." Yun Fenghuang twitched the corners of his mouth and said, "Because I was not familiar with the route, I almost walked to the Central Dynasty. . Later, I met General Zheng while wandering around. He probably saw me running around like a headless fly, so he gave me directions."
Jinyun glanced at Princess Penglai again and said, "Why don't you ask someone in the palace to ask, why bother General Zheng? After all, he is a foreign minister, and you are the imperial brother's concubine. Even if he is well-intentioned, it is not suitable after all. stop."
"Your Highness is right." Yun Fenghuang smiled lightly, "I originally wanted to find someone from the palace, but after walking around for a long time, I didn't see any of the waiters at all. I was too embarrassed to talk to the guards. No, General Zheng asked me to go this way. I am in a hurry to find your highnesses, so I can only obey the authority urgently."
"I'm just leading the way." Princess Jinyun wanted to say something else, but Princess Penglai, who had not spoken at this time, said in a low voice, "General Zheng is a cold-faced person with a warm heart... Besides, it's also Yue Jieyu. Coming here suddenly, the emperor has no time to arrange for noble people."
She turned to Princess Minghui and asked, "Sister, why don't we go back to Mianfu Palace? Yue Jieyu is here, and the emperor may not have time to talk to us."
Princess Minghui observed her sister carefully and saw that she did not look angry. She breathed a sigh of relief and nodded: "Okay, let's go together."
On the way back to the harem, Princess Jinyun was a few steps behind again and pulled Yun Fenghuang to talk. The main idea was to interrogate her why Zheng Fengfeng gave her directions.
Yun Fenghuang asked in confusion: "Didn't Her Royal Highness Princess Penglai say that General Zheng has a cold face and a warm heart?"
"Penglai is kind-hearted and came to your rescue, do you still think it's true?" Princess Jinyun frowned, "Zheng Zihuan never likes to meddle in other people's business. Just look at what Ji Tingzhao said about eldest sister just now when he didn't leave. One sound?"
Yun Fenghuang said: "How can this be the same? Your Majesty was here at that time. Your Majesty is the cousin of Mr. Ji and the heir of Her Royal Highness Princess Minghui. Your Majesty didn't say anything. How can an outsider like General Zheng speak?"
Princess Jinyun thought about it, but she still hit her tactfully. Don't think that you are restless because you are beautiful. The palace rules are not to be ignored!
"His Highness said this, it hurts my heart too much!" Yun Fenghuang quit immediately after hearing this, "Just now when His Highness persuaded me to come to the former court, I said that although there are no foreign ministers in the former court, , but with His Majesty's companion, I'm afraid it's not suitable for me to get involved. His Highness swore that it didn't matter, and even said that at worst, he would hang up a curtain. The result? Just now in Taichu Palace, even if there was no curtain, His Highness even winked and let me get involved. I speak for Her Royal Highness Princess Minghui, and I dare to get involved. Although Mr. Ji doesn't say anything, how can he not feel in his heart that I am not a virtuous and virtuous person?"
"As for General Zheng, he and Mr. Ji are both men. Their men's thoughts are probably similar."
"Later I saw that I was lost. The reason why General Zheng gave me directions was probably because he thought that if he ignored me, who knows if I would slander him in front of His Majesty?"
Yun Fenghuang opened his eyes wide and looked at Princess Jinyun accusingly, "I have lost even a woman's most important reputation for your highnesses, and your highnesses still doubt me!"
"...Uh." Princess Jinyun is young after all. Due to her status, although there have been quite undercurrents in the former harem in the past two years, she is not involved. Although she has some small thoughts, they are not deep enough. At this moment Listening to it, I also felt that I was going a little too far, I was just embarrassed, "I, um, I was just talking casually, why should I take it so seriously?"
Worried that Yun Fenghuang would continue to be stubborn, she made an offer to appease her, "In a few days, when summer comes, the emperor's brother will accompany his mother and they will go to the palace to escape the summer heat. In the past, they have never brought anyone from Huzhu Palace with them. This time we will help you speak. Let the Queen Mother agree to take you along, okay?"
"I also want a box of pastries made of lotus flowers like the ones I have today." Yun Fenghuang thought for a while and said, "I just watched the plate of pastries and didn't even eat a bite!"
These words made Princess Jinyun smile: "Okay, okay, I'll have someone deliver it to you later... You are from a big family, why are you still so greedy? It's just a lotus cake, don't tell me You haven’t eaten.”
Yun Fenghuang said sincerely: "Of course I have eaten lotus cake, but where have I ever tasted the craftsmanship of the Mianfu Palace cook?"
So the matter was revealed like this. Princess Jinyun was about to catch up with the sisters, but she was pulled by her sleeves and asked quietly: "Her Royal Highness Princess Minghui is a young master of the same age, and Her Royal Highness Princess Penglai is General Zheng, but I don't know that Your Highness... …?”
"How do I know what the elders think?" Princess Jinyun's face turned red when she heard this, but her eyes were a little lonely. She forced a smile, broke away her hand, and said, "Anyway, the queen mother and the others have their own arrangements. I am not in a hurry and won't ask. You What to ask?"
Yun Fenghuang chuckled and said, "Don't you think that His Highness is easy-going and think that if I am useful, I will do my best?"
Princess Jinyun quickened her pace and walked forward. After hearing this, she waved her hands without looking back: "No need, my lord, you should take care of yourself. Your leader was detained before, so everything was inconvenient. Now that he has come out, he can Not easy to deal with!"
She was afraid that the Yungui man would follow, so she hurriedly talked with her sister about a topic that Yun Fenghuang couldn't get into.
However, Yun Fenghuang only looked at these three golden people from behind, half-smiling but not smiling.
After a while, the group returned to the harem. Yun Fenghuang didn't even bother to return to Huzhu Palace. He rushed to the entrance of Yanfu Palace to report Yuan Niang's appearance in the previous court.
Empress Ji said she was taking a nap at this time and did not see her in person. Only a palace maid in charge came out and said to Yun Fenghuang: "The Empress already knows about this matter. She would have announced it when she paid her respects tomorrow... Since the noble lady is here now Well, I just want to tell you that Yue Jieyu’s confinement has been lifted, and the copying of books has also been stopped."
Of course, it was impossible for the queen to let Yuan Niang go without any reason, but it was because when Yun Fenghuang followed the three princesses to the previous court just now, Yuan Niang felt a little uncomfortable and called the imperial doctor for diagnosis, but found out that she was one and a half months pregnant!
Emperor Chunjia's knees are empty, and the Empress Dowager has repeatedly expressed her position in recent years that her heirs are the most important thing in everything... No matter how depressed Empress Ji is after knowing the news, no matter how crazy the Sixth Palace is when she finds out about it, it doesn't matter... Anyway, next, at least On the surface, it is impossible to torment Yuan Yuniang anymore.
Not only cannot he torment her, but he must also indulge her, coddle her, and tolerate her.
After all, this is not to give face to Yuan Yuniang, but to value the emperor's heir!
"But you don't have to worry, noble lady. No matter who has given birth to an heir in this palace, there is only one mother and queen, isn't it?" Seeing Yun Fenghuang frowning and not speaking, the steward maid felt a little sympathetic in her heart. During this time, everyone knew that Yuan Niang was from Yue. The imperial concubine surrendered directly to Yue Jieyu. It cannot be said that Yun Fenghuang was the culprit, but he was definitely involved. Especially in the past two days, this nobleman was ordered to supervise Yuan Yuniang's copying of books. He took the opportunity to collect benefits from the Sixth Palace and was so merciless...
Privately, I don’t know how many destructive methods were used to frustrate Yuan Niang, but after a few days of complacency, Yuan Niang was about to stand up!
For Empress Ji's level, even if Yuan Yuniang gave birth to a dozen princes, let alone pregnancy, she might not be able to shake the power and majesty of the middle palace.
But for Yun Fenghuang...
Just the bargaining chip of being pregnant is enough for Yuan Yuniang to recreate the legend that Huzhu Palace is a restricted area of the palace, and she can dominate the life and death of the palace!
The maid in charge consoled her: "The Queen just told the maids that Yue Jieyu has not been heard from for a long time. The sudden joy must be caused by the new atmosphere brought by the new arrival in the palace. Therefore, the nobles are indispensable, and she deserves to be promoted." position for encouragement."
Well, this is for fear that Yuan Yuniang will learn to be smart this time and concentrate on preserving the fetus, ignoring the turmoil in the palace, and deliberately lead her to go to war with him!
Yun Fenghuang sighed in his heart and said a few perfunctory words of farewell.
On the way back to Huzhu Palace, she asked Xile to contact Gong Xiangxiao: "This matter is serious and we must discuss it with the prince in person."
Thinking of someone currently living in the Regent's Mansion, I frowned slightly and added, "Don't let Qi Jiulu come, I don't want to see him!"
