Chapter 215 Longevity Banquet

The two had a rare chatter for a while, and felt a little more relaxed.

It's just that when Chunjia left Lanzhou Yeyu Pavilion, Yunfenghuang asked about the situation in the East Palace: "How have you been these two days?"

"Returning to your mother, the prince loves the concubine Meng after she passed the door. These days, the prince almost always lives with the concubine Meng." Chi E frowned slightly, and whispered, "The concubine is a little sad in private, but He didn't say anything... Concubine Xie was very upset, she made troubles for Concubine Meng several times, both openly and secretly, but Concubine Meng calmly resolved it, so that Concubine Xie was so angry that she couldn't easily get angry, so she could only talk to Concubine Meng. The crown prince filed a complaint when he returned. But the crown prince is just perfunctory and doesn’t take it to heart.”

It's no wonder the crown prince would take it to heart, if it wasn't for the fact that he couldn't help Yun Fenghuang, his aunt, he might not give Xie Meng a good face at all.

"Then Meng Posuo was born as a dignified and dignified lady, Mengmeng is so smart, it's no wonder that she can go through the motions under her hands." Yun Fenghuang was not surprised by this situation, he just sighed, "Tomorrow let them all Come and say hello to this Palace."

She still has to fight on her own.

The next day, the three people from the first and second sides of the East Palace arrived at Yeyu Pavilion in Lanzhou.

Meng Posuo meant neither humble nor overbearing.

Only Xie Mengmeng, who hasn't seen her aunt for a long time, must have been unhappy these days, her eyes are bright, and as soon as she came up, she threw herself in front of Yunfenghuang and acted like a baby, her voice was softer than usual, for fear that everyone would not know that she was Yunfeng Huang's own niece, the kind that is much loved.

"Why are you still acting like a child at this age?" Yun Fenghuang smiled slightly, but his heart was very calm, he coaxed Xie Mengmeng a few words, and then asked her how she was doing recently?

Xie Mengmeng was also straightforward, and began to complain in front of the Crown Princess and Meng's side concubine: "It was fine, but the Crown Princess' sister and Meng's sister seem to dislike my niece..."

What Yun Fenghuang wanted was her words, and he followed his niece's words very readily, scolded the crown princess and side concubine Meng, and ordered them to go outside and kneel.

In the end, Xie Mengmeng was asked to stay with him for dinner.

During the meeting, she thought over and over again, and finally persuaded Xie Mengmeng a few words: "It's better to be more tactful in finding faults in the future, and don't make everyone think you are bullying others."

After all, this is her own niece, no matter how confused she is, she is also Xie Xiaoyu's child.

However, Xie Mengmeng was aggrieved: "Why did my niece bully them? They are the ones who changed their ways to bully my niece! And what does aunt do to help them? Does aunt not love my niece?"

Yun Fenghuang: "..." Forget it, I can't come back to teach, and I don't have the heart to teach, so let it be.

After the three wives and concubines of the prince left, she asked her left and right, "How is it?"

The Qing people and other close attendants all had some headaches: "The crown princess almost couldn't hold her breath, but the side concubine Meng was very calm. When she was punished, she didn't show any anger on her face. When she left, she even went to the door to thank you and see the expression on her face." The behavior seems to be willing... This is a person who can bear and pretend, I'm afraid it won't be easy to deal with."

"She shouldn't be the palace to take care of her." Yun Fenghuang nodded, "The crown princess is barren, this Meng family is of good background and calm, if she gives birth to a royal grandson, that is the crown princess's heart Big trouble! This point should be made clear to the Crown Princess."

In fact, the concubine also thought so, but her family background was not as good as the Meng family, and the prince had told her in advance that she must win over Meng Posuo and the Meng family behind Meng Posuo, so she dared not do anything.

At least not for now.

In short, the East Palace is undercurrents and turbulent, after all, it is still calm for the time being. The prince raced against time to practice in the previous court, but received more and more praises.

This situation made the entire Zhonggong feel a lot of pressure.

Even the clan members who came to see the empress dowager under the banner of visiting the empress dowager became more and more close to the prince.

For example, the king of Zhou and other old people, who did things safely, did not forget to offer generous gifts to Yunfenghuang here, but they also prepared generous gifts privately to the crown prince.

This hedging move has proved Gong Xiangbing's rise.

Because of this reason, the Crown Princess, who was originally anxious and frightened, calmed down a lot.

She wasn't really stupid, no matter how dangerous Meng Po Suo was, it had to be after the crown prince won.

Before Yun Fenghuang, the great enemy, fell, she and Meng Posuo were on the same side.

So even though she was jealous and defensive towards Meng Posuo, she did nothing. In addition, Xie Mengmeng finds faults from time to time, the crown princess can't deal with this difficult side concubine, Meng Posuo is very good at giving Xie Mengmeng soft nails, or the kind that Xie Mengmeng can't catch even if he wants to sue, so the number of times has increased , the Crown Princess felt that Meng Posuo didn't seem to be very annoying anymore.

The situation in the entire East Palace is developing in a good direction.

So even though Yun Fenghuang was still very satisfied... After all, he showed a little bit of depression.

Faced with this situation, the Qing people and other close servants were of course very anxious, and the descendants of King Yan, King Jin and others were also worried.

It's just that the crown prince is impeccable in his actions, he is very respectful to Yun Fenghuang, he is humble and courteous to his brothers and sisters, and he is especially self-denying and tolerant towards Yun Fenghuang's heirs.

There was nothing wrong with it at all.

Coupled with the many errands entrusted to him by the emperor, they were all handled very beautifully.

Zhonggong mother and son tried all kinds of tests, but nothing came of it.

Yun Fenghuang didn't show it on the surface, but he felt very depressed in private.

In fact, King Yan and King Jin acted a lot more prudently after the abolition of the empress. To be fair, he may not be inferior to the crown prince in terms of qualifications.

But after all, he was a little younger.

Gongxiang Bing took the lead one step at a time, and now he is taking the lead step by step.

During this period, the empress dowager's condition continued to worsen, and even the time of coma began to increase, but after all, her status and status were left there, coupled with the continuous supply of rare medicinal materials in the warehouse, she could survive for a while.

Yun Fenghuang took people to pay his respects every day, and because of the request of the Empress Dowager, he also brought King Wei occasionally.

King Wei, who claims to be sick, is actually full of energy. He was asked to "recover from his illness" after Yun Fenghuang was abolished. Now that he comes out, his temperament has changed a lot. To be precise, he has been silent a lot .

Yun Fenghuang wondered what Yin's people might have said to the child in private, but she didn't care.

After all, this is not her child.

It was just entrusted by Yin Qu to help raise her.

Although King Wei is very close to her, some things cannot be resolved with affection.

No matter what Yin Qu said, he had cooperated with her for many years, and now even if he stepped back temporarily, Yu Ze still survived, and Yun Fenghuang didn't want to fall out with him no matter in terms of morality or profit.

Besides, just talking about King Wei, Yun Fenghuang didn't want to deceive him too much.

"It's really strange. The empress dowager really likes His Royal Highness King Wei." The servants looked at the mother and son cautiously. After a few days, seeing that Yun Fenghuang was still friendly to King Wei, they gradually relaxed. Lively, he just said, "Your Majesty has come to pay his respects in the past two days. The Empress Dowager is impatient to see you, but I would like to see His Royal Highness King Wei."

In fact, the Empress Dowager was not only willing to see King Wei, but even privately ordered many private houses to be packed up and handed over to Yun Fenghuang for safekeeping: "You can give it to King Wei after he gets married."

He also said, "Don't think that Aijia is unfair. Aijia is already at this age, and he is a bit self-willed. As juniors, you should forgive him a little bit."

"No matter what the imperial grandmother said, these things belong to you, and you can dispose of them as you like." Yun Fenghuang said, "Don't worry, granddaughter-in-law will take good care of it. After King Wei gets married, Give it all to him, let him remember your kindness for the rest of his life."

The Empress Dowager smiled shortly: "There is no need to remember the Ai family. It is not interesting to control these things and bring the Ai family to the mausoleum."

After Yun Fenghuang came out, he asked King Wei, what did the Empress Dowager say to him?

But King Wei shook his head: "The great-grandmother is weak, and she can't actually say a few words. She is probably looking at the child in a daze... My child thinks that the child may really resemble the great-great-grandfather or the emperor's grandfather?"

He was not raised by the Empress Dowager, and even in terms of blood relationship, King Song and the Crown Prince were closer to the Empress Dowager, but the Empress Dowager didn't pay much attention to those two grandchildren, but liked King Wei very much... Apart from looking for traces of the old man on his body, there was no other reason why the Empress Dowager was willing to leave his private house to him.

After a few days passed like this, the people below reminded her that Empress Dowager Yuan's birthday is coming up again, should it be held this year or not?

Ever since Empress Dowager Yuan returned to the imperial capital, the loving mother Empress Dowager, who never cared about birthdays in the past, never declined to congratulate the empress herself on her birthday.

After all, she has experienced a disastrous defeat, and she needs this form to prove her status and importance.

It's just that it's okay as usual, in previous years, Gu Zhen was the queen, and Yun Fenghuang was also in charge of hosting the birthday banquet, so they are no strangers.

The point is that the Empress Dowager is still ill. According to the tacit agreement, there are elders lying on the couch, and the younger generation celebrates their birthdays. It is very suspected of urging the elders to die.

Of course Yun Fenghuang himself was unwilling to take this idea, so he went to ask Chunjia.

Chunjia thought over and over again, and said, "I'd better ask the emperor's grandmother for instructions on this matter."

As soon as he heard this, he knew that he still wanted to celebrate the birthday of Empress Dowager Yuan. After all, Empress Dowager Yuan was his closest elder.

It's just that the emperor can't say it directly, so he has to push it to the empress dowager.

Sure enough, Yun Fenghuang went to ask the Empress Dowager, and the Empress Dowager said indifferently: "Don't bother Ai's family."

So this year's Longevity Banquet was still held as usual, and it was said to the outside world that it was ordered by the Empress Dowager to celebrate the Empress Dowager.

Thanks to the fact that this imperial grandmother's days are numbered, there are extraordinarily many people gathered for the birthday banquet this year.

After all, there are not so many clansmen here in Dijing.

Moreover, the clan relatives did not come here alone, they had to bring attendants and concubines of the younger generation, and some even brought their concubines.

It was quite a test of Yun Fenghuang's ability.

In fact, it was not a day or two for her to preside over the Six Palaces. After a lot of busy work, she finally made a plan for the birthday banquet.

According to the usual practice in previous years, the Longevity Banquet was held for three consecutive days.

The first day went smoothly, but in the evening of the next day, when everyone was drinking, there was something strange suddenly in the northeast corner, followed by people's roars, and the noise was faintly carried by the mountain wind.

Yun Fenghuang frowned slightly, and was about to order someone to inquire, but a palace official, whose clothes were stained with blood, rushed over and knelt down in embarrassment, and said: "Your Majesty, empress, the palace is flooded, please move quickly!"
