Chapter 105: Elders' Admonishment

The boundaries between concubines and concubines in the harem of the country are clear, so the concubine ceremony is the most important.

But from Jieyu to Jin Zhaoyi, it was not so solemn—a decree, Yun Fenghuang changed into the Zhaoyi dress that Shangfu Bureau rushed to work overnight, and went to greet the empress dowager, the three empress dowagers and the empress. , and it's over.

Probably because Chunjia had just had an incident outside the Lanzhou Yeyu Pavilion, but failed to steal fragrance and fell into the water. From the side, the emperor's favor was confirmed, and the empress dowager and the three empress dowagers had a very good attitude towards Yun Fenghuang. .

The empress dowager is old and mentally weak, and she is willing to give some extra face to the empresses and concubines who entered the palace when the emperor got married for many years. For a rising star like Yun Fenghuang, although he was amiable, he resigned on the pretext of being tired without saying a word.

In short, it is very common to ask An Shane.

Routine and agile.

After all, the three empress dowagers are younger, they have their own thoughts, and they chat for a longer time.

Empress Dowager Ji straight to the point encouraged Yun Fenghuang to serve the emperor well, and what she meant was to let her compete for favor and serve more sleep, and try to hook the emperor as much as possible so as not to let go. It's not easy for the emperor these years. A concubine must follow him as much as possible, instead of being narrow-minded and unable to accommodate talents.

Yun Fenghuang's understanding was that it would be best if Yuan Niangniang was so angry that she had a miscarriage. If you can't achieve this goal, you will hold the emperor tightly in your hands. It's better than the cheap bitch surnamed Yuan!

Empress Dowager Yuan still had to think about the emperor, worried about the difficulty of Yunfeng Huang's heirs, she only said to let her treat the emperor with more heart, don't cause trouble for the emperor, and she should have the bearing of Zhaoyi when she is a Zhaoyi—only she can persuade Yunfeng clearly Huang, if the emperor likes you, you should help coax him to go to those concubines who can spread the branches and leaves for the royal family, instead of just caring about your own favor and dominating him even though he can't give birth.

As for Empress Dowager Qu, speaking of it, it was Yun Fenghuang's first time dealing with Chunjia's biological mother, although she had met her at a banquet before, but she only watched her through the crowd of waiters and never spoke to her. This time, I took the opportunity of paying respects to the promotion face to face, so I couldn't help being a little curious.

Empress Dowager Qu was worthy of being born as a concubine of a seductive servant. She was the most beautiful among the three empress dowagers, and Chunjia's appearance was at least seven or eight percent like her.

Even now that she is getting older, and because she is a widow, she wears simple clothes and hardly uses hairpins, but she still has delicate eyebrows and eyes, a charming figure, and full of charm.

But with a charming appearance, Empress Dowager Qu is very introverted, her temperament can't even support the title of Holy Mother Empress Dowager, she is almost cowardly in silence.

Ordinarily, for such a queen mother, Yunfeng Huanghe should be the same as in front of the empress dowager.

But in fact, she spent the longest time in Empress Dowager Qu's Chaoyan Courtyard, because Princess Kunze was also there.

Chunjia's half-brother princess and elder brother don't look like each other, with a long face, slender eyebrows and long eyes. In terms of appearance, they can only be considered delicate, but they are very lively. How did her adoptive mother raise her? She was very pleasantly surprised by Yunfenghuang's arrival. She was rejected by Empress Dowager Qu without any room for change.

Therefore, seeing Yun Fenghuang at this moment is like seeing her own sister, and after she finishes her salutes, she never opens her mouth, asks questions, and almost covers Chunban Villa including the inside and outside of the valley where it is located. Yimu asked all the questions, and seeing that it was almost time to light the lamp, he resigned contentedly, saying that he was going to share his knowledge with Minghui and the others: "Mother, I'm leaving, I'm going to Minghui's sister's place for dinner!"

Speaking of the last word, the princess had already run away without a trace.

The Empress Dowager Qu who had been silent and let the Princess chirp only now asked Yun Fenghuang in a low voice: "Does Zhaoyi want to stay for dinner?"

"Your Majesty loves me so much, I dare not say goodbye." Yun Fenghuang felt that it was already time, and he was too lazy to go back and make trouble, so he simply agreed.

Only then did he answer, and saw Empress Dowager Qu clearly startled.

Well, the empress dowager was just asking politely, she didn't plan to keep a meal at all...

After realizing this, both Yun Fenghuang and Queen Mother Qu felt awkward for a moment.

The waiter in front of the Empress Dowager simply came up to make a rescue, and asked Yun Fenghuang what taboos he had?

Having dinner with the queen mother, who is still unfamiliar with the queen mother, of course Yun Fenghuang didn't dare to pick and choose, and humbly said that he would eat everything and was not picky at all.

She thought to herself that as Empress Dowager Qu, the standard of food would definitely not be that bad, even if there were a few dishes that she didn't like, at worst, she would just eat what she liked.

As a result, the meal was served after a while, and Yun Fenghuang regretted it when he saw it...

The Empress Dowager is too low-key in the palace, isn't she?

She has been in the palace for several months, why have I never heard that this empress dowager is a vegetarian? !

Seeing that the table was full of greenery, Yun Fenghuang almost put away his chopsticks and went straight back to Lanzhou Yeyu Pavilion—the Empress Dowager probably gave the few dishes in front of her to make up for the daze when she heard that she was going to stay. Come over, this kind of food must be eaten, and it is best to finish it to show your attention and gratitude.

Yun Fenghuang thought in his heart that when he went back next time, he must ask the cook to stew hoof or something overnight, but he said hypocritically: "The food here is really different, the empress dowager, the concubine had a cold two days ago, the imperial doctor told me to eat lighter , so these two days the small kitchen has also picked vegetarian dishes. It's a pity that they can't make the taste of the Queen Mother here. Today, the concubine is salivating and staying here, which is considered right!"

"There are very few children your age who like to be vegetarian." The Empress Dowager Qu smiled slightly. Speaking of which, it was the first time she smiled today. , said softly, "Aijia was afraid that you were not used to it just now, so it's hard for you to like it."

He followed and said, "That being the case, then turn around and Ai's family has prepared dishes, and ask them to send you a copy. The left and right are in the palace, not far away."

Yun Fenghuang was quite surprised, she just wanted to flatter her, but she didn't want to be a vegetarian for a long time with the queen mother, so she declined: "This is too much trouble for the empress, the concubine is actually..."

Before she could finish speaking, Empress Dowager Qu quickly faded her smile, and put on a somewhat bleak look, saying, "Oh."

"Your Majesty, it's the first time for Your Majesty Zhaoyi to come to our place, so she should be more reserved." Seeing this, the servant who was waiting beside him hurriedly came out to smooth things over, and whispered to persuade the Empress Dowager, while winking at Yun Fenghuang, and said, "Actually, what do you think?" Is there anything you don’t want? It’s just that Zhaoyi rarely comes here, and she’s too young, so I’m too embarrassed to agree.”

Seeing this, Yun Fenghuang twitched the corners of his mouth, but didn't continue to say anything, but just listened to the valet's doing good and evil, so he settled the matter.

After a long while, after eating, he rinsed his mouth and said a few gossips. Yun Fenghuang took leave, and the attendant spoke to Queen Mother Qu, and personally sent her out, taking advantage of the situation to explain: "Usually few people come, because princesses often come. Some, it also caused our princess to go out to play, not in the yard. The empress dowager is usually very lonely, so it is difficult for the empress Zhaoyi to stay for dinner, but the empress dowager does not say anything, but she is very happy in her heart. Please also invite the empress Zhaoyi Don’t think our place is deserted, just come here often.”

Then the voice lowered, "If Empress Zhaoyi doesn't like to eat vegetarian food, you can give it to the servants and dispose of it, but don't refuse the empress dowager's wishes... Since my empress entered the palace, except for the big ceremonies and banquets, she has been doing everything. You are confined in the house alone, even His Majesty rarely has time to come here... The princess is lively but still young and ignorant..."

Even though Queen Mother Qu is Chunjia's biological mother, she is pitiful, her biological son is not close to her, her adoptive mother, Queen Mother Yuan, is even before her biological mother, not to mention her first mother, Empress Dowager Ji. Chunjia couldn't ignore it.

In contrast, the emperor's care and visits that Empress Dowager Qu could receive were very little.

A few years ago when the emperor was forbearing, the Empress Dowager Yuan didn't dare to show her head, let alone her.

This year both the Emperor and the Empress Dowager Yuan were about to make their mark, but she still kept her gates in good order... Yun Fenghuang sighed with his attendant for a while, and then left.

When she returned to Lanzhou Yeyu Pavilion, the emperor had already arrived for a while, and was sitting on the soft couch she usually used, flipping through a few idle books she usually read.

Feng Yi, who the two had slept with once but Yun Fenghuang didn't remember his name, knelt on the footsteps, beating his legs from left to right.

Seeing Yun Fenghuang coming in, he hurriedly stopped his hands and bent down to salute.

"Your Majesty is a palace man who can summon concubines." Yun Fenghuang waved his hand to get them up, and he blessed the emperor himself. Before the emperor called, he walked over and sat a few moments away from him, smiling but not smiling. , "The concubines have never let them serve like this before."

The emperor read the book, not her, and said lazily: "Then I have trained you, and you can sit back and enjoy what you get, what else do you want?"

"I can't bear to use such a delicate beauty as a court maid." Yun Fenghuang said, "Okay, you guys go down first."

The two Fengyi agreed with sincerity and fear, and retreated without asking the emperor's intention.

When they went out, the maid at the door stretched out her hand to close the door, the emperor put down the book, sat up, squinted at Yun Fenghuang and said, "Zhaoyi is so majestic, once you give an order, even what I mean is not important." .”

"I have something to tell your Majesty." Yun Fenghuang played with the tea set on the small table, and leisurely changed the subject, "I just paid my respects to the Empress Dowager, and I stayed in Chaoyan Courtyard in time for dinner. After a meal, the result was a few compliments about the meal, and the Holy Mother Empress Dowager said that in the future there will be cooking there, and she will also send a copy to this concubine."

"How dare the concubine bother the Queen Mother so much?"

"When I had no choice but to refuse, I was stopped by the left and right, and let the concubine just accept it...Your Majesty, do you see this?"

Although Yun Fenghuang didn't think it was a big deal, after all, Empress Dowager Qu was not an important person in the palace, she had no family background, and her relationship with Chunjia was not close.

But after all, with the identity of the Queen Mother, it is better to talk to Chunjia about this matter.

Moreover, she also wanted to take this opportunity to test out, what kind of attitude does the emperor have towards this biological mother?

"Why are you..." Yun Fenghuang stopped to observe the emperor's expression calmly, and seeing Chunjia's expressionless face, he sighed for a moment, "Mother Qu has always been simple, even her cheap Don't let it go, I have convinced you!"

Yun Fenghuang hurriedly explained: "The concubine is just talking casually..."

"Since Empress Qu Mu is willing to reward you with grace, you just accept it." The emperor didn't believe it at all, and said with an expression of "I don't know who you are, I don't bother to talk about you anymore", "It's just that Empress Qu Mu always likes to be quiet, you Don't look at her for talking and always bother her, understand?"

Yun Fenghuang stared at him for a while, then turned his head and curled his lips: "Oh!"

It was not too early at this time, Chunjia saw that she had nothing else to say, so she pressed the small table between the two of them, bowed her head and kissed...
