Chapter Forty-One
"Miss Gu Jue is rare in front of people, and my mother and concubine have never met twice, but I don't know what kind of person she is?" Yun Fenghuang sipped his tea and asked calmly.
The Seventh Prince said: "My son is different from her male and female, so I haven't seen each other very much. I just feel that she is different from Miss Jing earlier."
"Oh?" Yun Fenghuang asked interestedly, "Why is it so different?"
The Seventh Prince said: "Miss Jing and the tenth brother are very close, almost every time the tenth brother comes back to the harem, they will go in and out together, and they are very flattering to the tenth brother, but to the son-in-law, who has always been related to the tenth brother. He is a harmonious person, and he is also very thoughtful... In short, he is the kind of person who is all-round. But this Miss Jue is very quiet. Occasionally, when she meets her son, she just greets her courteously and doesn't do anything else. Occasionally, the great-great-grandmother gave her a face, and when she came to say a few words to say hello, she was neither humble nor overbearing. To be honest, I feel that she doesn't seem to want to stay in the palace."
Yun Fenghuang smiled and boasted: "Xiao Qi is getting smarter and smarter, and I can see a lot in just a few moments."
Then she didn't mention Gu Jue anymore, and pulled her son to ask in detail about the basic necessities of life in front of the Empress Dowager. After talking like this for a while, she learned that the son came back to get two robes, because he brought them there at the beginning. The clothes are not too much, and the Empress Dowager is old, so she can't see the younger generation she likes, seeing that there are only a few clothes to change, and specifically persuades him to bring more bright clothes when he comes back. The Seventh Prince was afraid that the Empress Dowager chosen by the servants would be dissatisfied, so he went there himself.
So Yun Fenghuang helped the son with his advice, and carried a large box of clothes to accompany him back to the Empress Dowager.
After the seventh prince left, the imperial concubine immediately asked Chen Jing: "Is there anything going on with the empress dowager today? This palace looks at her as if she deliberately found an excuse to send Xiao Qi back."
Chen Jing said: "I just heard that His Royal Highness Ming Hui entered the palace, but this time there was no commotion, it was just an ordinary conversation. It's just that the Empress Dowager is not very happy to let His Highness Ming Hui come into contact with our Seventh Prince... that Your Highness's actions and words are indeed a bit too menglang, and it is not suitable for young Highnesses to be present."
The main reason is that Minghui has always said that Chunjia is wrong.
As the winner, the emperor can be indifferent.
People like Yun Fenghuang can understand after watching the royal brothers and sisters come over for many years.
But the emperor's heirs are still young, but they can't understand the intricate entanglements between the previous generation. If they hear Ming Hui say something they shouldn't say, there may be a big trouble.
Yun Fenghuang nodded, and said: "So that's the case, I just said it, it's fine, why did the Empress Dowager let Xiao Qi go this way?"
After pondering for a while, he said again, "Then Gu Jue, tell me, whatever the queen does, she always goes to the empress dowager. Could it be that she is going for Xiao Qi?"
It's not that she suspects that the empress wants this niece to play tricks on the Seventh Prince, but that she is worried that the Empress will treat this niece as an abandoned son and deliberately frame the Seventh Prince... Don't ask why the imperial concubine thinks so, it's up to you to ask.
"But didn't His Royal Highness the Seventh Prince say that Miss Jue doesn't seem to want to stay in the palace?" When Gu Jing and Gu Jue just entered the palace, the side of Xuanqing Palace also paid great attention to it for a while.
However, Gu Jing quickly gained the favor of the empress and the tenth prince, while Gu Jue was immediately outnumbered. After that, the attention of Xuanqing Palace was mostly on Gu Jing.
This is something that can’t be helped. Although Xuanqing Palace has attracted many talents over the years, after all, the goal is ambitious, and there are too many people and things that need to be followed. Like a human being, he was watched with good eyes.
In particular, this Gu Jue is not as aggressive as Gu Jing, and looks very indifferent and harmless. Seeing the kind of day in the palace, the imperial concubine can't help but relax her observation of her.
As a result, Gu Jing is now cold, and Gu Jue has become the only niece next to the queen, so Chen Jing hurriedly pays attention again.
At this moment, after thinking for a while, she said, "According to what the servants knew about her in the past, this young lady really doesn't like the palace very much. It is rumored that she didn't want to enter the palace at the beginning, but Gu's sister-in-law was at odds. Don't show up with the elder sister-in-law, just jumped up and down and sent Gu Jue to the queen."
Yun Fenghuang said: "This is true, but how can this little girl decide whether to enter the palace or not? I just thought that the queen raised these two nieces at the beginning to further win over the ten princes and Twelfth prince. Gu Jing has a good relationship with the tenth prince, but Gu Jue is not very popular with the prince... Plus she has such a personality, she is actually somewhat similar to the queen when she was a teenager, and she is not suitable for the royal family in the deep palace. If the queen feels that even if this niece is promised to her adopted son, it will not be of much use, why not take it out and plant Xiao Qi, then?"
Chen Jing and other waiters thought that the imperial concubine might be thinking too much.
Hearing this, he became a little more cautious.
After all, the seventh prince is different from other princes.
If the other princes get together with Gu Jue, to be honest, Yun Fenghuang will be angry at most, and there won't be any bad results.
But the Seventh Prince...
This person's filial piety and sensibleness are second to none. The key is that his grandfather and aunt are Yun Fenghuang's important allies, who are irreplaceable up to now.
How could Yun Fenghuang tolerate him being taken away?
It doesn't even need the seventh prince to be taken away, as long as the prince has something wrong in the harem, as a man of integrity, he must blame the noble concubine for not protecting his darling grandson.
"Find a way to stop Gu Jue from going to the Empress Dowager." The imperial concubine pondered for a while, and then ordered, "There are so many imperial daughters in the palace, and no one has seen the sky to send this to the Empress Dowager." But now she has no name and no distinction, so filial piety, how decent? Even if the empress decides that she will serve the empress dowager's great-grandson in the future, hasn't it been made public? Why are you so anxious?"
She said so, of course the people below dare not neglect her.
So the next day, on the way Gu Jue carried the food box to the Empress Dowager's yard as usual, the Eighth Prince and the Eleventh Princess were fighting, and they knocked over her food box together!
The point is, the eleventh princess was scalded!
Although it wasn't serious, just a little red on the fingers, but the imperial daughter's own mother still felt very distressed.
And her mother is Concubine Jing Luo Hanyi.
The thirteen princes born in Luo Hanyi died of smallpox before their full week, and they drove the imperial concubine to kill their childhood companions Ouyang Fulu and Meng Youyi. They were very depressed for a time, and even felt hopeless.
This made the queen quite sympathetic, and it was also to support Yun Fenghuang's opponent. In short, after sixteen years of Chunjia, under the arrangement of the queen racking her brains, she went to bed a few times, but she was happy again. In the seventeenth year of Chunjia At the beginning of the year, a princess was born, ranking eleven.
Luo Hanyi, who had suffered the pain of bereavement, finally had an heir again, even if it was not a prince, but a princess, it was enough for her to be ecstatic.
After that, she didn't pay attention to the queen anymore, not to mention deliberately antagonizing Yun Fenghuang, she didn't care about other things at all, and only focused on taking care of this daughter.
Now that the eleventh princess is injured, how can Concubine Jing not feel sorry for her?
He just learned a series of lessons from when he first entered the palace, and he didn't dare to make a fuss, because he was afraid that someone would accidentally offend someone, and he wouldn't know how to die in the future.
But she doesn't make trouble, Yun Fenghuang, the noble mother and concubine, can't sit back and watch the dignified imperial daughter being "bullied" by the daughter of a foreign minister in the palace.
Immediately, he took people to Woxia Tower and asked how the queen disciplined her niece and daughter?
The empress had already heard about this, and she was sending someone to visit the mother and daughter of the Eleventh Emperor. He frowned when he heard the question, and said: "People are not sages and sages, so there is nothing wrong with it. Concubine Jing said there is nothing serious about it. Don't worry, you are rushing to show off your might!"
"What the empress said, although the eleventh emperor was not born to you and me, we watched her grow up anyway. This child is only four years old, and she has been hurt like this. You don't feel bad, and I can't even look at it. Go down." Yun Fenghuang said lightly, "Concubine Jing is sensible, no matter how distressed she is, she will knock out her teeth and swallow her stomach. Those of us who are in charge of palace affairs can't just go along with the flow and pretend to be confused and wronged honest people. Originally, Miss Jue and Mrs. The Empress Dowager is not relative, but seeing the sky send this to the Empress Dowager, she is more courteous than the imperial daughter, of course I am a little impatient, but for the sake of the empress, I don't want to say anything."
"It's nothing more than Miss Jue's courteousness, but how can she ignore the safety of the imperial daughters?"
"After all, she is still an outsider if she receives courteous treatment in the palace, right?"
"When the concubine's nieces were raised by my side, they never said that they ran away when they saw the sky, let alone disturbed the elders of the clan."
"Don't your empress think that you treat Miss Jue so well that you ignore your serious daughters instead?"
"You are the queen mother of the emperors, not Miss Jue!"
Gu Zhen listened annoyed, and said: "You don't have to go online with me like this, it's just an accident this time. Besides, Jue'er sent something to the emperor's grandmother, it was entrusted by Xiao Shi, not her own. idea!"
He continued, "Besides, although the eleventh princess is young, the eighth princess who plays with her is also seven years old. She is always smart and sensible. When Jue'er is so big, how come the two princesses don't know how to avoid it? Who knows how they collided?" up!"
The queen's face turned cold, she stared at Yun Fenghuang, and said word by word, "Eleventh Emperor's daughter is only four years old, no matter what, she is an ignorant child, does the noble concubine feel no guilt at all for acting like this?"
Yun Fenghuang said lightly: "It's not caused by my concubine. Why should I feel guilty? It's the empress... If there is no Miss Jue's hospitality, the imperial daughter will not be hurt. Why is the empress not only not guilty, but also hopes that the concubine will not be hurt?" guilty?"
"This is really beyond my comprehension."
The empress and concubine fought with each other, but no one could convince anyone. They were making a fuss, but the palace servants came to report that Gu Jue had heard the news and was kneeling outside to plead guilty.
"What is she messing around with?" The Queen frowned, "Let her go back!"
"It seems that Miss Jue is still sensible. It's just that the empress is so partial, which really chills the hearts of the queens!" Yun Fenghuang snorted softly and said, "After all, she is also the aunt of all the emperor's heirs, but why is it so unfair?"
The queen said annoyedly: "You know the truth..."
Before the words were finished, another palace official came in, but they reported anxiously: "Your Majesty, Miss Jue was so out of breath just now that she passed out!"
"Bastard!" Gu Zhen was startled, and he didn't care about Yun Fenghuang, he led people out, and immediately heard the busy outside, but threw the noble concubine, master and servant down.
Seeing this, Chen Jing frowned, and asked for instructions: "Your Majesty, you can ask your servants to go with them..."
"No need." Yun Fenghuang pondered for a while, then suddenly asked in a low voice, "You just said that this matter was not arranged by us... Do you think it was just a coincidence?"
Seeing that Chen Jing was a little dazed, she smiled meaningfully, "The timing of Miss Jue's pleading guilty and fainting is just right! Otherwise, how long will this palace and the queen have to quarrel today?"
