Chapter Four Hundred and Thirtieth IX It's Convenient for Others
Xie Kuo went to the Empress Dowager the next day, because since Chunjia came to power, the Empress Dowager has lost power rapidly, and no one in or outside the palace paid attention to her in the past two years.
In addition, Yun Fenghuang deliberately covered it up, so no one paid attention to it for a while.
Xie Kuo didn't stay with the Empress Dowager for long on the first day and came back. Upon hearing the news, Yun Fenghuang immediately pushed back the palace affairs she was dealing with, and summoned her to ask the ins and outs.
Xie Kuo was a little uneasy: "The Empress Dowager didn't say anything to me, she only asked me why I went there, and asked me to have some refreshments, then she said I was tired."
"Even if the empress dowager's eyes are bright and the matter is serious, it is impossible to say that she can make a decision at the first sight." Yun Fenghuang was also not sure what the empress dowager was thinking, but seeing his niece's frightened look, he comforted him, "Maybe I want to see you again? Don't worry, tomorrow, go ahead and greet the Empress Dowager."
After thinking about it, I couldn't bear it, and then said, "It's okay if this thing doesn't work out, it's a big deal, aunt will give you..."
"No!" Unexpectedly, Xie Kuo bit his lips after hearing the words, but insisted, "Please help me, auntie, I must become the Weihe Dayan clan!"
She clenched her fists, her eyes were full of ambition, "Auntie is right, if I miss this time, there will be no better chance for me in the future!"
After all, within the kingdom, her aunt has almost reached her limit.
As for her, the best choice in the future is to become a certain prince, or the prince's wife and concubine.
No, normally speaking, it is impossible for her to become the prince's wife and concubine.
The reason is very simple, with Xie's lintel, she can marry into the royal family, that can only rely on her aunt Yun Fenghuang. But if Yun Fenghuang is proud for a long time, the position of the East Palace in the future must be his own son, King Jin. And Xie Kuo is so much older than King Jin, even if he is his own niece, it is impossible for him to be a concubine for King Jin. If King Jin fails to seize the heirloom, Yun Fenghuang will probably not be able to protect himself. By that time, Xie Kuo will be in a difficult situation even if he becomes the prince and concubine!
Only to leave the country and marry Weihe.
In this way, even if the aunt fails in the end, it will be inconvenient for the two countries to turn against each other because of diplomatic relations, and it will not affect her in any way.
Even if the new king takes over, he has to continue to support her, the Da Yan family.
After all, Wei He once threatened the country for many years, and it was not a fuel-efficient lamp. The reason why even the new Khan Xinyan clan is in the hands of the state this time is nothing more than the temporary decline caused by years of civil strife.
After a few years, he has regained some vitality, if the new king dares to give up Xie Kuo, he may not be able to force Wei He to arrange a Da Yan family who was born in Middle Earth!
At that time, Chunjia's monarch and ministers have worked so hard to arrange-into the king's account, will it not be ruined?
Xie Kuo earnestly said: "Besides, the family is overthrown, and the nieces can do nothing but take care of my aunt. But my aunt has supported the family all these years, no matter how unfilial my niece is, I want to share my worries for my aunt! It’s just relying on my aunt’s support, what can I do for my aunt? I don’t want to drag my aunt down for the rest of my life! If I don’t have this opportunity, I don’t dare to cause trouble for my aunt. Isn't it too late to regret?"
Yun Fenghuang stared at her for a long time, and then sighed after a long while: "Actually, in my opinion, this matter is certainly an opportunity, but I can't bear it. The Dayan family... seems to be beautiful, but you know, Wei He In the past two years, he has suffered losses in Guochao's hands repeatedly. Up and down, he is actually full of resentment towards Guochao. The new Khan was carefully selected by the court. His mother is humble and he is also weak. The problem is, there This example is here, you should understand, either it looks weak, or it is really incompetent and mediocre! If one is not good, what will happen to Ji Lingzi in the Yuan Dynasty will be your fate!"
"Furthermore, my family doesn't have the right people to assist you in such a major event."
"When the time comes, you will have to rely on the Yin family. It is impossible for them to think of you first in everything...even in many things, they will take the initiative to deceive and use you!"
"Even if you find out, it's not easy for you to turn against them, because you still need them."
"In addition to these, although you and I grew up in the Northland, we are not considered delicate, but the wind and frost on the grasslands are worse than those in the North... Every year there are people who go to the grasslands and are not acclimatized. You entered the palace when you were young. In front of this palace, it can be regarded as being raised by gold and jade, can you bear it?"
Seeing Xie Kuo's resolute attitude, he finally hesitated again and again before reluctantly agreeing.
"Maybe I'm really old." She said to the Qing people afterwards, "A few years ago, Kuo'er was so firm, I should have only joy and no worries. Probably after the Xie family was destroyed, all There are so many children under my knees."
The Qing people said softly: "You have a knife mouth and a bean curd heart. When the Xie family was safe, didn't you treat some young ladies well? Before and after the harem, I don't know how many people envy them. You have supported them at a young age. "
This is her sincere words, and she feels that it is not an exaggeration for Yun Fenghuang to say that he is a kindness to the three nieces under his knees.
After all, no matter whether the Xie family is destroyed or not, the three girls must be destined to marry when they grow up.
The difference is nothing more than that those who are favored will deliberately choose a better one, while those who are not favored will be married off casually.
That is to say, she was raised in front of the noble concubine, her status was extraordinary, and she was destined to have the capital to marry high.
Otherwise, let's not talk about competing for the Da Yan family. If she went to the Weihe king's tent as the daughter of the Xie family, she might only be demoted to a slave girl just like the new Khan's biological mother.
Yun Fenghuang squinted her eyes and said nothing, she thought in her heart that it is no wonder that Chunjia began to be soft-hearted, it was her, her thinking in the past two years has also changed from before.
The scary thing is that you don't know it, and after you realize it, you think about it carefully, and you still take it for granted.
She sighed melancholy in her heart, and she didn't know whether this change was good or bad in the end?
After nightfall that day, it was confirmed that Chunjia would not come to Lanzhou Yeyu Pavilion, so Yun Fenghuang disguised himself and went to see the Empress Dowager in person.
The Empress Dowager had already fallen asleep at this hour, she was quite displeased when she heard that the imperial concubine had come secretly, she yawned and said: "The Ai family has never made things difficult for her niece, so it is worth her coming in person?"
The servant said: "The servant girl has gone back to the imperial concubine, please ask her to go back?"
"That's all." The Empress Dowager thought for a while, shook her head slightly, and said, "After all, she is quite capable of making decisions in this palace now, and the Ai family also has some matters, so she is required to open the door."
So he finally got up and dressed, and met the imperial concubine in the flower hall.
"The Ai family knows what you think, and I just hope that the Ai family will say more good things for your niece in front of the emperor." The relationship between the two parties has always been somewhat bumpy, and they have no intention of hypocritical politeness, so after the empress dowager sat down, she said goodbye , and said straight to the point, "Just don't forget that Mr. Da Yan looks dignified, but it's actually not that easy to sit still. For you and me, it may just be a little difficult. But your niece, sorry Everyone looked at her, her temperament might be alright, but her methods are immature. This is not surprising, after all, she was raised by you since she was a child, and she was well-clothed and well-fed, and no one dared to show her face without eyes. The child who came out was suddenly thrown into the pack of wolves on the grassland, not only to survive, but also to suppress a pack of wolves... Is this giving the child a fortune? Or sending her to die?"
Yun Fenghuang said slowly: "Mother, when I am as rich as a concubine, is it not the jewel in the palm of the pampered family? Sudden accidents, sending people under the fence, and then entering the palace in a daze... All these years, haven't you come here too?" What's more, the concubine really entered the palace with nothing at the beginning, if Kuo'er can be selected, then Guo Chao married Wei He, even if Wei He doesn't care about her, how can he not care about Guo Chao?"
The Empress Dowager said lightly: "If you don't care about your niece's life and future, you can guarantee that the child will not survive in the future. If something goes wrong, you won't blame the Ai family. Then the Ai family will gossip for you in front of the emperor. So what? The left and right are not the nieces of the Ai family."
These words seem to feel that Xie Kuo will definitely fail if he goes to Weihe, and Yun Fenghuang is trying to encourage the growth of seedlings.
But because the empress dowager didn't have a difficult attitude, the imperial concubine didn't bother to care about it at the moment. She told Xie Kuo that the matter of Da Yan's family would come slowly, and it was impossible to make a decision all at once, but she was still very anxious.
Don't be afraid of anything else, just be afraid that Gu or other opponents will propose a more suitable candidate.
Wouldn't the aunt and nephew be busy in vain?
"I am so thankful for your mother." Yun Fenghuang immediately said, "As for Kuo'er, life and death will depend on wealth and honor, so how dare you anger your mother? But you must remember your kindness."
The Empress Dowager said with a half-smile, "You don't have to remember that, you just pay it back."
So he proposed, "The Ai family has no other thoughts now, but just likes the temperament of the seventh prince. If the seventh prince is willing to come to the Ai family in the future, don't stop him, how about it?"
"Your Majesty values Xiao Qi, and that is Xiao Qi's blessing." Yun Fenghuang thought about it for a while, and then said straightforwardly, "In the future, I will definitely let him come to pay my respects to Your Majesty."
Seeing that the Empress Dowager was satisfied, she asked directly, "But I don't know why the empress loves Xiao Qi alone among all the princes? Is it really because Xiao Qi resembles the late emperor?"
The Empress Dowager glanced at her, and said lightly: "It really looks like an old friend."
Anyway, it is unlikely that this person murdered the Seventh Prince in the palace, even if he did, to put it in a bad way... Yun Fenghuang can quickly throw the pot away, and use this enmity to completely pull the Yin family to himself Come here, although she was not sure whether the Empress Dowager's words were true or not, she remained silent, and seeing that it was not early, she pulled down her hood to cover her face, and got up to leave.
Back at Lanzhou Yeyu Pavilion, Chen Jing who was accompanying him was a little inconceivable: "I never thought that the Empress Dowager would value the Seventh Prince so much, and she would agree so easily."
He thought that the Empress Dowager would definitely not let go of this opportunity to take advantage of the fire, so she might have to put forward harsher conditions.
For example, to persuade the emperor not to liquidate Ji's posthumous name, and even deal with those who falsely accused Ji.
Yun Fenghuang also pondered a little in his heart, and said slowly: "Maybe it's because of His Majesty."
Seeing that Chen Jing and other attendants were puzzled, she explained, "The reason why the Empress Dowager allowed us to ask for her is nothing else, but because Your Majesty believes in her judgment. If you put forward conditions that make this Palace or Your Majesty embarrassing, Your Majesty I don't care about her opinion anymore, so what bargaining chip does she have? Instead of embarrassing both sides at that time, it's better to be convenient for others like now."
Of course, there may be secrets and inside stories that the master and servant cannot see through now.
But the most urgent task is to finalize the candidates for the Da Yan family, and discuss the others later.
The Empress Dowager kept her word, and delivered a message to Chunjia the next day, saying that she thought Xie Kuo was good enough to take on the responsibility of the Da Yan family.
After Chunjia knew about it, she raised her eyebrows and told Yanyin: "Ask if the emperor's grandmother is free, I will go to pay her respects later."
