Chapter 419 Is She Important?
"This is really strange. You were brought into the palace by the empress, and the concubine was also nodded by the empress." Yun Fenghuang took a sip of tea and said thoughtfully, "How did you come here?" Is this palace here?"
Mrs. Gao kowtowed, and then said in a bitter voice: "Returning to the words of the imperial concubine, my father and brother were originally from Zhaowu Bo's old department, but they were disarmed and returned to the field due to injuries. They were rewarded for their military achievements and lived comfortably as rich gentry in the countryside. My concubine The sixteenth year of this year, the family has already talked about the marriage, but he is the only son of a concubine who is an uncle. Although I have never met him, I have heard that he is both talented and beautiful, and has a stable and honest temperament. It turned out that the empress wanted to find him Some well-known and well-known sons from a poor family came to the palace to serve His Majesty, and they chose to be concubines! I dare not hide my concubine's identity from the empress. Although the concubine's background is not high, she was pampered and grew up at home when she was young. .”
"As the saying goes, the head of a chicken is better than the tail of a phoenix."
"What's more, once you enter the palace gate, it's as deep as the sea."
"Since I became a concubine, I have been trembling every day, and I have never been at ease for a moment."
"At first, I thought that the concubine is the daughter of the former Gu family after all, so the empress should take care of her."
"Who knows that ever since the Huang family came to the fore, the Empress probably thinks that the concubine is useless, so she has never paid attention to the concubine again!"
"This time concubine, what did you say about the concubine's grace? In fact, if it wasn't for the concubine's favor, where would the concubine's blessing come from? The concubine's character, the concubine herself thinks that she understands it. There is no such thing as a concubine. Empress is determined not to dare to do this!"
"So the one who is really kind to my concubine is, in the final analysis, your empress!"
Yun Fenghuang said slowly: "You are a smart person, and I will not prevaricate with you. Since you have guessed that I am the concubine, you should also understand. I may not be doing this to help you. "
"My concubine understands what my mother means. Although my concubine and the Huang family were selected by the empress, they have always been at odds." Gao Shi nodded and said, "The empress's promotion of my concubine must be because she hopes that my concubine will be against the Huang family." ... This is also the reason why I want to be loyal to my empress, even if I don't have my empress' order, I will not give up with the Huang family!"
Yun Fenghuang couldn't help but be a little curious: "Since you two are both daughters of the queen's former department, what's the reason why you have such a deep hatred like the sea? It is said that even if the envoys of flowers and birds watch, even if you fight privately, it won't matter thing?"
"...Originally my family chose two." Gao's eyes turned red when she heard the words, and she whispered, "Besides the concubine, there is also a concubine, who is also beautiful. Although the concubine is not blessed to be born in the womb , but the aunt is as virtuous as the mother’s biological mother, Mrs. Jiang. She has always treated the concubine as her own! At the beginning, the concubine and the younger sister were selected as the pickers, and the aunt repeatedly entrusted the concubine to take care of the younger sister... The aunt has entrusted the concubine all her life For such an incident, my younger sister died of illness on the way to the Imperial Capital! If my younger sister was not well-off, the concubine would not say anything. But if she is sick, she has a relationship with the Huang family. So even if there is a mediation by the empress, Whether it is the Huang family or the empress, can you return the life of the concubine's aunt?! Can you let the concubine explain to the aunt?!"
"But I don't know what happened to the Huang family, your first sister?" Yun Fenghuang raised his eyebrows slightly, "At that time, you hadn't entered the palace, so even if she made the flowers and birds happy, she wouldn't have the ability to kill her?"
Mrs. Gao smiled bitterly, and said: "My sister is two years younger than my concubine. Because of the family's pampering, she is quite naive. Mrs. Huang instigated my sister to separate from my concubine, and then dragged my sister to dance together... At that time, the weather was still cold, and the houses where the pickers lived were not enough charcoal fire. Huang coaxed his sister-in-law to go to a secluded place outside to practice in private, and caught the wind and cold after a few times. She was afraid that the envoy of flowers and birds would know the punishment, so she frightened her sister-in-law, saying that if When the envoy of flowers and birds finds out, he will definitely send his sister back. Where will the sister face? At that time, because the sister and the concubine had an awkward relationship, she went to another house, and the concubine didn't know... When the concubine found out, My sister-in-law is so ill that she can't speak... Poor sister... She's only fourteen years old... The doctor invited by the flower and bird envoy said she couldn't do it... I'm afraid it will be passed on, and it will be inconvenient for other girls to come to Beijing to serve His Majesty , and someone wrapped it in a mat and sent it out..."
"The concubine has no evidence, so there is nothing I can do."
"But ma'am, please think about it. Usually when I go out to practice dancing, my concubine's sister-in-law is full of energy when she is at home. Not to mention how healthy she is, at least she is no worse than ordinary people. Why is the concubine's sister-in-law caught the wind and cold, but Huang's sister-in-law is still alive?" Is it okay? It must be because she saw the beauty of my sister-in-law, and she was afraid that her sister-in-law would enter the palace and endanger her status, so she resorted to tricks to harm the poor sister of my concubine..."
"The concubine originally wanted to lose the election, not because of her betrothed, but because she really didn't want to stay away from her homeland. The reason why she entered the palace was to seek revenge on the Huang family!"
"After all, if you don't come to this palace, Mrs. Huang will not be favored. What chance does the concubine have, and then argue with her?"
Yun Fenghuang sighed a few words of comfort, thought for a while, and said: "Your younger sister is young and ignorant, you still miss her like this, but it reminds me of some past events with my sisters when I was in the boudoir. .Bengong was also very sharp and strong back then, and had many disputes with the sisters. But when something happened, they were still a family. Now, those sisters in the palace are probably destined to die, alas..."
Gao quickly pleaded guilty: "It's my concubine who made a slip of the tongue and offended my empress!"
"It's okay." Yun Fenghuang narrowed his eyes slightly, leaned back, and said, "You reminded me of my youth, so I won't tell you those nonsense: You people, you all It is the chess pieces chosen by Ben Gong and the Queen. This palace should not be too quiet, making it look like a pool of stagnant water; nor should it be too lively, making it look like Ben Gong and the others have no way to govern the palace... Do you understand?"
Mrs. Gao was a little ignorant, and said in a low voice: "Your Majesty, forgive me for being humble, and I don't know much about my identity. But I obey my empress for everything."
"It's good that you know how to be obedient." Yun Fenghuang didn't mean to elaborate on her, but said, "In this way, after you go back, you can continue to look for Mrs. Huang. But, don't reveal your relationship with Bengong, and do it in private. Here, I still want to do what Huang did earlier, if I have time or not, I will chat with Tian Jieyu and Jing Jieyu more, understand?"
"My concubine obeys." Gao quickly responded, so Yun Fenghuang didn't have any other orders, and sent her away at night.
Afterwards, he called Chen Jing to the front: "I remember that you checked Gao's before?"
Chen Jing nodded: "Ever since I found out that she was specially arranged by the empress, the slaves have asked people to check her situation."
At this moment, I will tell the noble concubine, "The Gao family is almost the same as the Huang family, and they are all descendants of the Dingbei Army lieutenant..."
The origin is not much different from what Gao said, but it is about Gao and her sister-in-law. Chen Jing said, "According to the report from the Flower and Bird Envoy, that little Gao does have some looks, and she is very good. It is Mrs. Huang and Mrs. Gao who the Empress wants to praise. Mrs. Gao died of illness halfway, and Mrs. Gao made troubles for Mrs. Huang several times for her sister, and once made Mrs. Huang look ashamed...that's why the Queen's valet Noticed it and recommended it to the queen."
"Do you suspect that there is something wrong with the Gao family?"
Chen Jing said: "I don't have a certificate, so I can't say it well. I just think that this Gao family is not a helpless person. How can it be so easy for Huang family to coax away her sister-in-law who grew up with her? After being coaxed away, can't she coax her back? Xiao Gao is naive and ignorant in the description of the flower and bird envoy, but she is not the kind of person who has a vicious heart and looks down on the concubine sister."
Yun Fenghuang pondered and said: "Then tell me, how sincere is Gao's coming to find me?"
"Empress's status is known to the harem. This Gao family is obviously a discerning person, knowing that even if she is pulled into the palace by the Empress Empress, but if she wants to make progress, the Empress Empress can't help her." Chen Jing hesitated, and said softly, "It should be true that she wants to seek refuge with the empress now. It's just that in the future...it's hard to say."
"This palace also thinks so." Yun Fenghuang nodded slightly, and said, "Let's see what she does next, I can't think that just by expressing my opinion, I can ask this palace to give her some serious benefits?"
She murmured in her heart that these newcomers were really good, there were not many young and vigorous ones who stood up and challenged her.
After so many years, except for Rou Kun from Wei He, I feel that the newcomers are getting slipperier than each other...
There is no arrogance of a young man at all.
It made her so horrible.
After feeling a lot of emotion, Yun Fenghuang also put this matter aside, thinking about how to cultivate after his illegitimate nephew came.
Within two days, Mrs. Gao made a commotion in the palace.
Under the pretense of going to visit Huang's family, she broke into Li Jieyu's bedroom regardless of the obstruction.
Of course Li Jieyu was not a good offender, so she sent someone to report to the queen that day, saying that her own Jieyu's stomach ache was caused by being disturbed by Gao Jieyu.
Gu Zhen then announced that Mrs. Gao had confronted her in the past, and Mrs. Gao said indifferently: "Although I have not entered the palace for a long time, I also heard that the ladies in the palace often receive congratulations from their concubines when they are pregnant. Afterwards, the emperor's heirs There was nothing wrong with landing on the ground, but Li Jieyu, in terms of seniority and status, what is it? But what kind of airs are you putting on? The concubine went to see her with good intentions, and she picked up Joe! What? Does she think that she is more honored than the ladies in the palace, or does she think that the children in her belly have some great fortune?"
"Presumptuous!" Gu Zhen frowned. She was born in a noble family. Although she didn't have the means of the Yuan Empress, her preferences were similar to the Yuan Empress's, that is, she preferred women with good manners.
As for Gao's blatant thorns, he was very annoyed, "Li Jieyu is young and just pregnant, so she must be more cautious. It's okay if you are not considerate, but you still have to make sarcastic remarks, how decent!"
Mrs. Gao knelt down to admit her mistake meekly, but she was aggrieved and said: "Your Majesty, this concubine is doing this for your Majesty's sake! Outsiders say that Li Jieyu has a good life, and she became a concubine and became a concubine as soon as she entered the palace. Heir. But those who are concubines, who don’t know, it’s all because of the empress’s flattery? If not, what kind of thing is she, Huang Lingya, who deserves such honor? The result? Now that she is pregnant, she is locked up. When I come to live by myself, I don’t care whether the empress wants to use someone or not, and whether she has given orders! Those who know say that the empress is generous, but those who don’t know think that the empress is cowardly. After being crossed the river and demolished the bridge like this, she even knocked out her teeth and swallowed her in the stomach!"
The queen's attendant frowned and scolded: "Master Gao, be careful with your words!"
"Yes." Gao's attitude was very good, and he pleaded guilty immediately, but then he said aggrieved, "My mother's family is the old department of Uncle Zhaowu's mansion, and I have thought of myself as a member of the Gu family since I was a child. What I said just now came from the bottom of my heart The empress now has several heirs under her knees. Even if Li Jieyu gave birth to a prince, so what? It is only for her own benefit, but for the empress, what is the benefit? If everyone is like her, how can this be entering the palace? Serving the empress? This is basically entering the palace to take advantage of the empress' care and enjoy the blessing!"
Gu Zhen frowned slightly.
Gao's words moved her a little.
Indeed, she invited the Gao family and the Huang family to enter the palace for her own use, not simply to reward them for being concubines and having children!
Before, Li Jieyu and Lu Jieyu fought with Tian Jieyu and Jing Jieyu, which made the queen quite satisfied. In addition, she was an old man who entered the palace when the emperor was married, and she saw with her own eyes that the concubines in the palace wanted to have sex. How difficult and dangerous it is for a child to come here, especially since she is the victim. Hearing Li Jieyu say that she is pregnant and afraid of being retaliated by the concubine's people, she thinks it makes sense to stay out of the palace and keep the baby safe, so she agrees.
But now that Mrs. Gao said this, the queen suddenly felt that she had been fooled by Li Jieyu!
Gao was right!
Now that I have no shortage of imperial heirs, why is it important that Li Jieyu is pregnant?
Isn't the important thing that he, the lord of the Sixth Palace, lacks a competent person to charge forward because of Li Jieyu's concentration on confinement?
As for Li Jieyu, this matter is very important, but is it important to herself?
