Chapter 81 Wei

Nian Xuan has gotten much better after these days of recuperation and can get up and walk around. However, Yun Fenghuang said that he was afraid that she would suffer from chronic diseases in the future and was not allowed to overwork herself, so she still stayed in the house most of the time.

After listening to Yun Fenghuang's words, he hurriedly checked her inside and out, but found nothing. He guessed it was the cat: "Maybe it just likes you? How about we raise it when it comes again? ? No one has lived in Ziquan Hall for a while. When we were cleaning it up, Chen Zhu said that he saw rats eating leftovers, and it didn’t take much trouble. "

Yun Fenghuang knew that she had always liked these kittens and puppies. Hearing this, he shook his head slightly and said: "We didn't raise this beast from a young age, and we can't tell what its nature is. It seems to be quite well-behaved at the moment. Just now, I faced him." Your Majesty is very fierce. Wouldn't it be troublesome if we kept this thing and went out to scratch someone? Besides, the Queen Mother ordered it to be kept in the palace for Her Royal Highness, and it was not a reward for us, so we rashly detained it and asked people to report it. When you go to Mianfu Palace, there may be trouble."

Seeing that Nian Xuan was a little disappointed, he comforted her casually, "If you like it, when you have the opportunity later, I will try to find a way out for you to raise."

"Let's forget it." Nian Xuan said hurriedly, "My maid has already burdened you enough, how can I ask for this or that? Besides, my maid will be fine soon, and I won't have time to raise these things by then."

Yun Fenghuang said: "It doesn't take much to raise it. Besides, I won't get it for you right away."

Then the master and servant chatted some more, and Yun Fenghuang returned to the inner room.

Xile came in to wait on her and saw that her expression had become much calmer. He whispered: "Your Majesty just went to the Ningbi Palace. There was still crying and crying for a long time before it became quiet. Chen Zhu was friends with a little palace maid over there, so he sneaked over and asked. It is said that someone in the palace accidentally spilled the liquid while serving Empress Jieyu, and Empress Jieyu became furious. "

After a pause, "The palace man's legs have been broken and thrown out."

"Your Majesty is willing to pamper her, so what does it matter about her?" Yun Fenghuang said calmly, "She is now more precious than her mother, and the Empress Dowager and the others tolerate her. As long as she doesn't offend us, we can just ignore her."

Anyway, the palace people who were thrown out were not hers.

She ignored the two people in the main hall and went to wash and eat. She was taking a nap in the afternoon when she was woken up by Xile's soft voice, saying that Wei Jieyu had sent someone to invite her to Yijia Palace to enjoy the flowers.

Of course this was just an excuse. Yun Fenghuang probably had something to say, so he thought about it, cleaned up and left.

When they arrived at Qinde Hall, the main hall of Yijia Palace, Wei Hengyan came out to greet him personally, asked people to serve refreshments, cleared the place, and asked straight to the point: "Today, the queen has left you to talk, but she mentioned the prince's marriage?"

"The news came out so quickly?" Yun Fenghuang was a little curious, "Why do you have sisters in your family who want to tell the prince?"

Wei Hengyan smiled and said: "Can you hurry up? After all, we are going to escape the summer heat soon. The Empress Dowager and her mother, the Empress Dowager, have asked us to hold a show before they escape the summer heat. If we don't spread the news now, no one will be there by then." Isn’t it embarrassing to come?”

However, she did not want to tell Gong Xiangxiao about her sisters, but wanted to inquire about another person, "You have been there twice before, and it is said that you met His Majesty's companion each time. Have you met Deng Chengzhai? He How are you doing?"

Yun Fenghuang thought for a moment and realized that Deng Chengzhai was Cui Wan's nephew and Xin Fei's cousin, whom she had never seen before: "But I have never seen this person... Does your family like him? Then? Why don’t we meet in private?”

Although she still doesn't know the situation in Wei Hengyan's family, she knows just by looking at the status of the first-time concubine and the fact that she became the chief so quickly. Even if her family background is not as good as that of Concubine Xin, it will definitely not be any worse. She should not be like Cui Hengyan. I can't talk to my family. However, Deng Chengzhai used the Cui family name as a companion to the emperor, which shows that the Deng family should be inferior to the Cui family.

"My stepmother said he was good at everything, but she came from a small family and her vision may not be accurate." Wei Hengyan smiled faintly, "My brother from the same mother was released a few years ago, and my sister-in-law followed... No, my I’m the only one who cares about my sister?”

Well, the co-author is disbelief in stepmother.

These days, children without a biological mother are pitiful. The prince, Gong Xiangxiao, is worried. No wonder Wei Hengyan must personally check on his sister.

Yun Fenghuang knew it well and said: "It's a pity that the Empress Dowager personally told me not to go forward in the future. Unless Her Highness the Princess invites me, I will definitely ask you about it when I get the chance."

"In front of the emperor, you probably don't dare to make mistakes. How can you tell?" Wei Hengyan shook his head slightly when he heard this, but she didn't expect Yun Fenghuang to go to Taichu Palace to test her out whether Deng Chengzhai's character was worth it. Brother-in-law, instead, "Since the Queen has told you this alone, will you be allowed to join us when the time comes?"

Yun Fenghuang said in surprise: "Why should I participate? I am already His Majesty's concubine. On such an occasion, the Queen and the others can be said to be presiding over the overall situation. Isn't it unreasonable for me to go?"

"Why is it unreasonable?" Wei Hengyan said, "What kind of status does the Queen have? How can she do everything by herself? She always needs someone to help her."

And now everyone in the Sixth Palace knew that the Queen valued Yun Fenghuang very much, and even Yun Fenghuang was given special instructions for this blind date, maybe because she was arranged to take on some errand in it.

"The Queen didn't tell me what to do when the time comes. If there is a chance, I will help keep an eye on Deng Chengzhai." This is not a difficult task. Yun Fenghuang said, "But if the Queen doesn't send someone, then I will too." There is nothing I can do to help.”

Wei Hengyan nodded gratefully, promised some benefits, and asked about Yuan Songlai's previous exposure of Qi Jiulu in Taichu Palace: "I heard rumors in the palace that His Majesty and the Empress Dowager suppressed it together... Are you okay?"

"It's just a farce. I'm not afraid of the shadows. What's wrong with that?" Yun Fenghuang said nonchalantly, "It's really hard for me, the leader, to stop giving up even though she's pregnant."

"Did she do it?" Wei Hengyan was slightly surprised, "She is so confused! Not to mention that those who can be hired into the palace are those who have been carefully selected and have family background guarantees. If such a thing makes a fuss, Your Majesty will be embarrassed. How could she be so glorious? She doesn't think about you, but she doesn't think about His Majesty either. Your Majesty has really felt sorry for her these years."

Without waiting for Yun Fenghuang to respond, she added, "But that person is always like that, that is, relying on Your Majesty's good nature, he has been infatuated with her for so many years."

Wei Hengyan was quite envious and jealous, "If you are so generous with your blessings and are not afraid that one day your blessings will decline, how will you be able to gain a foothold in this palace?"

Yun Fenghuang smiled and said: "She is pregnant now, what are you afraid of? That day I was taken to Qingci Palace by His Majesty. The Empress Dowager really wanted to teach Yuan Songlai a lesson, but later Her Majesty mentioned the matter of the emperor's heir, and the Queen Mother The Queen Mother also remained silent."

"Her pregnancy..." Wei Hengyan sneered, paused and did not continue, but said meaningfully, "She has been pregnant before, and it didn't end well, but I hope she can be able to survive this time and continue to serve His Majesty. Heirs."

"This person has nothing to say." Yun Fenghuang changed the subject and asked where Wei Hengyan's natal family came from.

Because Wei Hengyan had just entrusted his sister's marriage, and it was not a secret, only a fake imperial noblewoman like Yun Fenghuang didn't know it. Otherwise, hearing the surname Wei, one could have guessed it. , so I tell the truth: "My family is considered to be a clan. My grandmother, Her Royal Highness Princess Dongxing, is the half-sister of His Majesty Emperor Shenzong."

When the eldest princess of Dongxing descended, the Wei family was still a family of generals, but since the time when the eldest princess of Dongxing was the consort, it had begun to give up martial arts and follow literature. Now it has an atmosphere of a scholarly family.

This is also the reason why the Wei family wants to recruit Deng Chengzhai as his son-in-law. Deng Chengzhai is Cui Wan's direct nephew. Although Cui Wan's reputation in the scholar circles is weaker than that of Wei Changkong, he is actually the leader today. After getting married, not only would the Wei family's status among the scholars improve, it would also help Cui Wan, the chief official of the Ministry of Etiquette.

Wei Hengyan's father is now a minister of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, and her half-brother has been sent out to serve as the governor of a state. When he completes his qualifications and is transferred back to the imperial capital, he will surely be promoted to a high position - this is a typical noble family that has been around for generations. , and the advantage of Wei Hengyan's rapid promotion to the throne is that the eldest princess of Dongxing is still there.

Although the Empress Dowager never likes to be disturbed and rarely invites relatives to the palace to reminisce about the past, the eldest princess of Dongxing is the elder of the clan after all. Empress Dowager Ji also greeted her respectfully when she saw her. Naturally, she would like to see her direct granddaughter. Give preferential treatment.

But that's just a little convenience, and the previous government didn't take much care of it.

Firstly, it is because the royal family is in decline, and the Queen Mother has a noble status, but she cannot interfere in temple affairs; secondly, it is because: "No one expected that His Majesty Emperor Shenzong would take the throne. According to a piece of information occasionally revealed by my grandmother, Judging from the language, her relationship with His Majesty Emperor Shenzong and the Empress Dowager when she was young was not very good. "

Well, even if my direct granddaughter says it’s not very good, then it’s probably very bad.

Even the eldest princess of Dongxing might have helped other brothers to fight against the Shenzong couple...

Yun Fenghuang didn't know much about the royal strife that took place when Emperor Shenzong was the prince, but it must have been very tragic, because the decline of the main branch of the Gongxiang clan started at that time.

The throne of Emperor Shenzong was basically paved with the bones and blood and tears of his brothers, nephews, and even sisters and nephews.

It's a pity that the emperor will not live forever. Otherwise, with the crispness with which he dealt with his brothers and sisters, he would definitely not have left the Ji family with such a hidden danger.

The eldest princess of Dongxing and her family luckily escaped the liquidation after Shenzong ascended the throne. Now, relying on the fact that the eldest princess is still alive, they can still get some social benefits from the royal family. Later... while the eldest princess is still alive, they can marry into other families. , to consolidate the family lineage, this is human nature.

only……

Yun Fenghuang was thinking in his mind, and after talking to Wei Hengyan for a while, he left.

When she left Yijia Palace, she also saw a few civet cats, sitting or lying among the grass, licking their fur lazily. She noticed that someone was watching them, but they were indifferent and well-informed.

It seems that Queen Mother Ji ordered a lot of cats to be released.

Yun Fenghuang looked them over and walked away.

Finally, when she returned to Huzhu Palace, she was surrounded by the palace people who had been guarding the palace gate for a long time. They wanted to take her to see the emperor and empress: "How dare you, concubine Yun! How dare you trick the palace people into murdering the emperor's heir? Ruoguo Jieyu Your Majesty has three advantages and two disadvantages. Although your servants are humble, they will never let you give up!"

...Yun Fenghuang was stunned for a moment before he came back to his senses, and secretly praised the efforts of many colleagues: I just went to Yijia Palace, and something happened to Yuan Yuniang's pregnancy?
