Chapter 144: The First Step of Changing People

After a long while, Mrs. Xie, Mr. Lan and Mrs. Chen were called back to the main hall. They saw that the mother and daughter had redressed their makeup, especially Yun Fenghuang's cheeks were clearly applied, and they were flushed with a thick layer of powder. They didn't care, after all We haven't seen each other for many years, and we meet again under such circumstances, so it's only natural to cry.

Yun Fenghuang originally wanted to keep them for a light meal, but Jiang Shi said that she was afraid of staying too long and causing displeasure in the palace, she said so, of course Xie Shi, Lan Shi and Xiao Chen Shi only nodded.

So Yun Fenghuang had no choice but to get up to see them off.

She wanted to send people to the gate of the palace, but Jiang shi firmly refused, and only let her watch them go away at the gate of Lanzhou Night Rain Pavilion: "It's not that we won't see each other next time, the palace is no better than home, and you are not allowed to be self-willed. "

For the sake of her daughter, the Jiang family sincerely wanted to keep a low profile, but after leaving Lanzhou Yeyu Pavilion, led by Chen Zhu for a short walk, they bumped into Emperor Jia.

"This is Mao Zhaoyi's family?" Chunjia didn't know them actually, but seeing that Mrs. Xie at the head was wearing the clothes of a married woman, and that today was not a day for the imperial concubine to reunite with her family, she could guess.

He stopped the emperor's chariot for a while, and kindly asked the few people who were keeping a saluting posture by the side of the road to stand up, "Ladies and gentlemen, you don't need to be too polite."

Xie hurriedly said he didn't dare.

The emperor looked at the group of female relatives with great interest, the group of people was headed by Mrs. Xie, this was because she had an imperial seal, but Mrs. Xie looked very nervous, lowered her head, not daring to breathe. This is a very normal thing, after all, facing the emperor.

On the other hand, the woman who was Yun Fenghuang's mother, who was half a step behind in age, had a low-browed, pleasing and respectful posture, but her shoulders were straight, and she seemed neither humble nor overbearing.

Because of the difference between men and women, Chunjia exchanged some pleasantries with them, then got up and left.

He was originally going to other places on this trip, but now the imperial chariot landed directly in front of the Lanzhou Night Rain Pavilion.

Inside, Yun Fenghuang just put on makeup and asked Nian Xuan to apply medicine for herself. Hearing that he came, she was very annoyed, and said to Nian Xuan: "Go and tell him, I just met with my family, and I'm not feeling well. Well, let Yun Ronghua serve him."

As a result, when the servants came to communicate, the emperor had already entered with his heels in. He was listening to the refusal and laughed: "Flesh and blood. Reunion, how can you feel bad?"

"We only got together for a short while." Yun Fenghuang was taken aback when he heard the words, and immediately curled his lips and said, "It's impossible to stay for a meal..."

While speaking, the emperor had already walked up to her, and saw that the concubine who had removed her make-up had obvious finger marks on her cheeks. What annoyed Lingtang?"

"..." Yun Fenghuang didn't pay attention when he was talking to him, and now he was a little ashamed and annoyed when he heard the words, so he didn't answer, but asked, "Isn't Your Majesty busy with government affairs? Why are you here now?"

Chunjia smiled and said: "I was going to see the imperial concubine, but on the way I met Lingtang and the others leaving the palace, and I knew you were free here, so I came over to have a seat."

Yun Fenghuang said seriously: "After the miscarriage, the imperial concubine has been weeping her face with tears. She has recovered a little in the past two days. It is the time when she needs His Majesty's care. I dare not delay Your Majesty. Please go to Luqin Terrace right away." stop!"

He also said, "What's the name of the pregnant concubine over there? Although her status is not high, she is pregnant with the emperor's heir anyway. Your Majesty should take a look at it, lest the concubine feel uneasy and feel anxious all day long. It's not good for the emperor's heir either."

Chunjia teased her: "Isn't your concubine Yigong also pregnant?"

"That concubine, let someone send her to serve you." Yun Fenghuang immediately raised his voice to call Nian Xuan, and his intention to dismiss Chun Jia in a hurry can be said to be very obvious.

Chunjia laughed and said: "Forget it, I will go to Luqin Terrace later, so don't let Yi Yuwan work."

He originally wanted to continue teasing Yun Fenghuang, but seeing her appearance, he might turn out to be angry with him - that's fine, the emperor is not afraid of her.

It's just like what Jiang said, Yun Fenghuang is young, only fifteen years old, and his brows are still childish. He has clearly been beaten by his mother at this moment, and he looks very pitiful when looking at him with his head downcast.

The emperor was not a mean person, and he felt a little soft-hearted when he saw it. After all, he didn't insist on staying to expose her scars. He got up and went to Luqintai.

After he left, Nian Xuan quietly said to Yun Fenghuang: "If you treat Your Majesty like this, if Madam finds out later, you will probably be angry again."

"Otherwise? Tell him exactly how mother beat me?" Yun Fenghuang listlessly fiddled with the makeup in front of him, and said gloomily, "He's really bored. When he goes to see the imperial concubine, he goes to see the imperial concubine. What are you doing here with me?"

As he said that, he threw the ivory engraved Qingluan Dengzhi curly grass pattern box filled with lip balm into the box, and said with a sigh, "I think he came here on purpose to see my jokes!"

Nian Xuan persuaded: "Your Majesty may not know that Madam will do something! Maid looks, it should be a coincidence. But it's nothing, anyway, Majesty is not a talkative person, and won't go out to talk nonsense. Besides, Madam Didn't I just say, I want you to go to Queen Mother Yuan to admit your mistake later, so that you can settle the old feud with Queen Mother Yuan and Your Majesty...Then these two see the traces of Madam's actions, and know that Madam is strict with her daughter, you know Can the mistake be corrected?"

This is the truth, but Yun Fenghuang is still entangled: "I don't want to go..."

Although she was very favored since she was a child, but because the Jiang family was very good at disciplining her, she is not someone who can't let go of her figure at all—otherwise, she would not be able to coax Empress Ji before—it's just that she just separated from the Jiang family, and someone hurts her The hypocrisy hasn't subsided yet, and now I'm very reluctant to be a low-level kid.

"You'd better go." When Yun Fenghuang and Jiang Shi were talking alone before, Qingdu also took Nianxuan and told her for a long while, now Nianxuan recalled Qingdu's teachings, and persuaded her softly , "Do you think Madam is out of the palace now, and she is not going back soon, and she wants to see you again in a few days! If you know that you didn't do what she said, wouldn't you be angry?"

He also said, "Madam is usually very busy at home, this time I came from a long distance in person because I love you... You should coax her and let her go back to Beidi with peace of mind. When Madam is no longer in the imperial capital, She didn't know what you were doing at that time, did she?"

"..." Yun Fenghuang listened with a gloomy face, and after a long while, he said weakly, "Then, you can ask someone to go to the Fangyin Hall and ask quietly, does the loving mother Empress Dowager have time to see me right now?"

In the Fangyin Pavilion, the loving mother, Empress Dowager Yuan, was playing chess with Zhanliu. Hearing someone report that the newly promoted Zhaoyi wanted to come over, she couldn't help frowning, and asked Zhanliu first: "Niangniang these two days...?"

"Nothing!" Zhan Liu hurriedly said, "The servant girl watched it in person, she never went out, let alone did anything to Lanzhou Yeyu Pavilion."

"Then what is Xiaoyun doing here?" Queen Mother Yuan pondered, "Could it be that Niangniang didn't go to recruit her, what method did she find to target Niangniang?"

Zhan Liu thought for a while, and said: "Madam, I remember that Mao Zhaoyi's natal family has come today. It is His Majesty's special favor. Could it be that he is here to thank you now?"

Empress Dowager Yuan snorted: "If you want to thank the Ai family, it has nothing to do with the Ai family. You can either thank the emperor for allowing her, or thank the queen for worrying about her. What's the matter with an old woman who doesn't care about the Ai family?"

But let the people below say, "Tell her I'm free here, and she can come whenever she wants."

After all, Zhaoyi's status is not low, and she is a newcomer, so Empress Dowager Yuan always wants to show some face.

She was prepared to cry after Yun Fenghuang entered the door, um, even like last time, before entering the door, she started crying, expressing her grievances and resentment.

As a result, this time Yun Fenghuang was not only silent, but also put on a veiled hat, like a thief. When he reached the door of the house, he hesitated to take off the veiled hat, and immediately bowed his head and entered, saluting respectfully. .

"Sit down." The Empress Dowager Yuan rarely saw this concubine's eyes, nose, nose, nose, nose, and heart, and she didn't dare to lift her heart. The plain clothes she would wear, her long crow-colored hair, her skirts fluctuating when she walked up the hall, and her bare feet could be seen vaguely—this is the dress of concubines in the past dynasties when they imitated Queen Jiang when she took off her hairpin to plead guilty. May use.

She was surprised in her heart, but the relationship between the two parties was never very good, and she didn't bother to go around in circles, so she asked straight to the point, "This is Zhaoyi?"

"..." Yun Fenghuang opened his mouth, but tears rolled down before he could say anything.

Seeing this situation, Empress Dowager Yuan was even more puzzled: "Zhaoyi?"

"Empress Dowager, my concubine... I am here to plead guilty." Before Yun Fenghuang came, he was procrastinating and reluctant, but he had come here, and he didn't want to be perfunctory. Now he asked the queen mother, Sobbing loudly, she didn't sit down, and directly stepped forward two steps, "plopped" and knelt down in front of the queen mother, "I have a very bad life..."

According to Jiang's instructions, starting from the life of the concubine Xie Fenghuan, the self-reliant target of the concubine when she was young, gradually the deep love between the sisters as they grew older, Xie Fenghuan's panic after the accident, and then to the aliens who came to the imperial capital from afar, and the sudden entry into the palace. The astonishment and resentment of the palace, because they are all telling the truth, there is no need to deliberately express the true feelings, and then I can't help crying, "... I dare not hide it from the empress, when I just entered the palace, I really don't want to live anymore !"

The next step is of course to meet her mother and change her mind, and decide to change her mind and start a new life, and now she regrets some of the previous broken cans and broken actions, and now she can only hope that Queen Mother Yuan will give her a chance to repent.

"... Poor child." At first, Queen Mother Yuan listened patiently, unable to see any joy or anger. When she heard that the mother and daughter reunited and suddenly didn't want to die, she was slightly moved and sighed, "You are really stupid. , none of this is your fault, why take your own life so lightly? Once you die, everything will be settled, but what do you tell your parents to do? Just like what your mother said when she saw you off, after your sister left, she would You are a biological daughter, and you still don't cherish yourself, isn't this killing her?"

Yun Fenghuang was not sure that the Queen Mother's words were sincere and false, so he continued on his own: "Your Majesty has learned from you. I was also taught by my own mother after seeing my own mother. Then I woke up and felt that I was really sorry for my past. The kindness of the second elder in nurturing, I am sorry for the empress and your majesty's love!"

Empress Dowager Yuan beckoned her to approach, and Yun Fenghuang walked over on her knees. The Empress Dowager lowered her head and stroked her hair, while letting Dip Willow fetch the hairpin, while comforting in a soft voice: "Since you have awakened, don't be too sad. Yes. Life is alive, who can have no faults? Besides, you are still young, you know you made a mistake, you just correct it, and you are still a good boy after all..."

Before he finished speaking, he noticed the mark on her cheek, and was startled, he quickly raised her chin to look at it, and said, "This...your mother beat you?"

Seeing Yun Fenghuang nodded, the Queen Mother frowned slightly, "It is said that my mother shouldn't talk too much when teaching her daughter Aijia, but you are Zhaoyi anyway, and Lingtang's actions are a bit heavy! Fortunately, you came in with a veiled hat, otherwise you would be called People see it, but don’t know what to say!”

"Your Majesty, it's like this." Yun Fenghuang understood the situation and hurriedly said, "The mother of the concubine has always loved the concubine, and after three years of separation, she changed her name. At the beginning of the meeting, she only felt sorry for the concubine and did not blame her. Yes. But later, when I heard my concubine tell about her experience since entering the palace, and mentioned that you were disrespectful to the empress dowager, and also neglected your majesty, that's when she became furious..."

"The concubine's mother was always filial to her elders and sympathetic to her father at home, and she always taught the concubine's sisters the duty of being a daughter-in-law. This is a virtuous virtue praised by everyone in the village!"

"That's why I really don't like this concubine's confusion. I definitely don't despise the majesty of the heavenly family. Please forgive me!"

"Poor parents all over the world!" The Queen Mother's expression softened a lot when she heard the words, and she sighed and turned her head to let Zhan Liu get the medicine again, "Zhaoyi has a good mother, who should Listen to her and let her not worry about you."

Yun Fenghuang thought in his heart that if he did this step, his mother should be able to explain it, right?

On the face, she skillfully put on a well-behaved and docile posture, and nodded weakly: "Yes, I will follow my mother's teachings!"
