Chapter One Hundred and Fifteen It Is Inevitable that There Will Be Side Issues on the Road to Whitewashing...

That day, Yun Fenghuang stayed at Empress Dowager Yuan's place until it was time to light the lanterns. When he came, he was left barefoot and dressed in plain clothes. Although he was still wearing plain clothes when he left, he took a set of Empress Dowager's Diancui jewelry and a pair of jewelry made in the early years. Unworn silk shoes that were too small—the Empress Dowager insisted on giving them to her.

"This Mao Zhaoyi's mother is very knowledgeable." After she left, she dipped the willow and asked people to remove the residual tea in front of her, and served the honey rose dew for Empress Dowager Yuan, and said with a smile, "Look at her With all the fuss when entering the palace, I thought it was someone who was spoiled by the family, but who knew it was because she was away from her own mother, and no one urged her, so she changed her temper."

Empress Dowager Yuan smiled lightly and said: "It's not surprising that the Ai family, although she made a fuss when she first entered the palace, she managed it well. Otherwise, there would be too many low-ranking concubines in this palace, who would have her promotion?" Quickly and well-off? At that moment, the Ai family knew that the child's elders must have spent a lot of time on her."

Zhan Liu sighed: "Zhaoyi didn't come to the Imperial Capital until she was twelve years old at home. I heard from her just now that she was taught by her mother hand in hand since she was enlightened at the age of three. It was recognized in Sangzi for nine years. Virtuous and virtuous, well-behaved and sensible; as a result, after arriving at the aunt's house, it was only three years... It can be seen that for the child, the mother is no more important."

I thought of Empress Dowager Yuan and Chunjia, "When your majesty came to the imperial capital to take the throne, she was the same age as Zhaoyi this year. Fortunately, the empress insisted on coming with her. Otherwise, I really don't know what your majesty would be like? Maid just thought about it." Everyone broke out in a cold sweat!"

"The emperor of the Ai family is upright and determined, how can a little Zhaoyi be compared?" The Queen Mother Yuan shook her head in disapproval, but then said, "I am still a child at this age, even if I know that the emperor is smart and tenacious, How can I feel relieved if the Ai family is not with him?"

Thinking of the battle of wits and courage with the Ji family and the court, and the hardships and obstacles experienced by accompanying Chunjia on the long journey, especially the scene where the young vassal king who had not yet ascended the throne tried his best to calm down but couldn't control the trembling of his fingers... The queen mother softened her heart and said, "Forget it, they are all mothers. Maybe Zhaoyi is still ignorant. Her mother doesn't know why she cares about her family? Her calling Zhaoyi is nothing more than calling the Ai family and the royal family. I can see... Maybe there is some kind of heartache behind it! Thinking of her love for her daughter, Aijia will turn around and say something nice to Huang'er, and expose all the things Zhaoyi did before."

"I don't agree!" The Queen Mother just finished speaking, when a shout came from outside the door. Hearing this, the Queen Mother's master and servant frowned subconsciously. Hearing the sound of the wooden floor being stepped on in the corridor, his stomach was already very tired. The grown-up Yuan Lianniang asked the maid to hold her hand, and while struggling to cross the threshold, she said angrily, "That Yun Fenghuang is arrogant and domineering, and has a vicious mind. Since entering the palace, he has bullied his concubines, disrespected his aunt, and even has feelings for Ji Lang." Evil thoughts!"

"She has done so many bad things, and she usually refuses to forgive anyone verbally. Why do you come here today to kowtow and cry hypocritically? Auntie doesn't care about her, and even goes to Jilang. Say something nice to her?!"

The Empress Dowager Yuan didn't even bother to pay attention to what she said, and frightened her left and right: "Why are you supporting Jieyu alone? Hurry up and move the embroidered stool up!"

Yuan Niangniang sat down angrily, and said loudly, "Auntie!"

"The Ai family has already said, you are old, if you have something to send someone over, why do you have to work yourself?" Empress Dowager Yuan pinched her brows with a headache, "What is Mao Zhaoyi not Mao Zhaoyi, can you have your mother?" important?"

"Then aunt, don't forgive her!" Yuan Niangniang said hastily, "When you are in front of Ji Lang, you have to say bad things about her!"

Empress Dowager Yuan said softly: "Your child, Zhaoyi is only fifteen, and it is normal for a child to be ignorant. She even listened to her mother's words and came to take off her hairpin to plead guilty. Ai's family is embarrassed, but can you argue with her? Nothing serious happened."

"Why didn't something happen?" Yuan Niangniang reminded, "Isn't she the one who forced Concubine Shu to die? She is one of the four concubines! She is also the daughter of Lord Yi! For this one thing alone, it is only natural that she should be thrown into the cold palace. "

The Empress Dowager said sternly: "You can't talk nonsense about this matter! Concubine Shu killed the little prince because she mistakenly bumped into the noble concubine, and committed suicide because of guilt. This is a matter publicly recognized by the royal family. What's the matter with Guan Mao Zhaoyi?"

Yuan Niangniang almost cried: "So Jilang prefers Yunfenghuang, so does aunt also prefer her?"

When she was crying and forcing the Empress Dowager not to forgive Yun Fenghuang, Jiang Shi was also crying outside the palace.

Yunju's official position is not high, relying on the favorable location, he has always relied on the government of Yiguo.

It's just that the Duke's Mansion has a large population and many relatives, so they don't take good care of them. In previous years, they were not taken with them during the summer vacation.

This year will be an exception, because Yunfenghuang has been named a concubine, and the government of Liguo also needs to praise her more.

So Yunju's family is currently living in the summer villa of the Duke's Mansion.

Although Duke Yi has high authority and noble status, even the summer villa occupies a vast area, following the ups and downs of the mountains, enclosing a large area. However, Yunju and his wife were only distant relatives after all, and they were allotted a small courtyard with three entrances. They already had many children and grandchildren, and now they were crowded and crowded, so they made room for Jiang's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law.

Because of this, Jiang did not dare to raise his voice, for fear of being overheard. He suppressed his throat, clutching the veil and sobbing: "...If I knew today, what did I do to make her leave my side? I really lost my mind! Back then she I'm only twelve years old, I'm only twelve years old! I'm still scared when I think about it, you said that she had a slight mishap in the palace these few months, so I won't be able to see her?"

"Mother, don't be like this." Xiao Chen whispered beside her, "Isn't my sister doing well now? It can be seen that she has a lot of blessings, and there will be many better days in the future!"

Then he said, "You can't be too emotional! The Qing people went to the main room to pass the post, and they will be back later. If it is convenient there, I'm afraid we can meet each other tomorrow. You cry, why don't you cry?" Sometimes her eyes are so swollen that she can’t open them, how can she talk about things? My sister is young, how can she do without you taking care of her inside and outside? You cheer up just for your sister.”

After all, Jiang shi held back a bit, sobbed and said, "Forget it, go fetch some water, I'll apply it...and then fetch the face powder."

Mrs. Chen then personally served her mother-in-law to wash and wash, and was busy when the Qing came back. After saluting, she said: "Ma'am, the servant girl was ordered to deliver the post in the main room. At first there was a woman in charge who came out to speak. I heard it was for Thank you for passing the news to the palace, it's still polite, saying it's not a troublesome matter, and besides, it's just by the way that their fourth young lady is under our young lady's hands."

"Later, when I heard that my wife was going to meet with their Duke, my face became uneasy. If I had anything to say, I could talk to their wife or the son-in-law. The Duke's government is busy with government affairs, so I'm afraid there is no time."

"The servant girl told them according to Madam's instructions that Madam can be the master of the Xie family, but I don't know whether the Duke's wife and the son's wife can be the masters of the Duke's mansion? The other side reluctantly agreed to pass on the message, just mumbling Muttering, very reluctant."

Jiang said indifferently: "You are a servant girl. You go to the backyard. The woman in charge must belong to the Han family's aunt and nephew. Naturally, she is not happy if I want to bypass their aunt and nephew and talk directly to the Duke. But don't worry about it, they There is nothing we can do about it, and we can only suffer if we are unhappy."

Little Chen spat: "They deserve it too! What kind of talents are our sisters, causing them to become what they are now is just a little embarrassing for them, who else are you trying to put on airs? They deserve it!"

"Don't say that." Jiang shook his head slightly, and said, "We have a disparity in status with the Duke's Mansion, so we can only speak harshly like this, but it seems to be stern. Besides, I managed to persuade Fenghuang to be obedient, so don't push me Tell her to go back to the old way before."

"Mother taught me a lesson." Little Chen nodded quickly, "My daughter-in-law won't, she just loves her sister so much, that's why she made a slip of the tongue."

After Jiang's anger at his daughter-in-law, he pondered for a while, and said to Qing Ren: "It seems that the Duke's mansion is still in the hands of the Duke, otherwise the mother-in-law can simply refuse, and there is no need to ask the master's intention at all... that's it. , let’s just wait for the response from there.”

Having said this, let the Qing people check the accompanying personnel, "Fenghuang has no reliable personnel in the palace, and that child Nianxuan is honest, but she is a little honest. I didn't expect her to enter the palace earlier. For the affairs of the palace, thinking about Ruo Fenghuang marrying into an ordinary family, Nian Xuan is almost enough. Now I have to send her some capable and loyal ones. You can ask for me later, is there anyone willing to go to the palace? Serve inside?"

Hearing the words, the Qing people hesitated for a while, but finally said: "Why don't the servant girls go too?"

"You are eighteen years old this year. If it weren't for this wickedness, I was planning to find someone for you." Jiang sighed, "If you enter the palace, let alone you can only be married if you have to be twenty-five, then Speaking of the dangers of the palace, even I cannot guarantee that if you entered safely, can you come out safely?"

Now that the Qing people had spoken, they made up their minds: "These maidservants all know, but the maidservants are deeply favored by Madam, and they have nothing to repay, so they are willing to take care of Miss. Besides, Miss has already grown up with Nian Xuan." , although to be honest, I have been with Miss all these years, and I have been struggling in the palace for several months. If the little maid below goes in, I am afraid that it will not be as good as Nian Xuan, so how can I share my worries for Miss?"

Jiang was silent for a while, and sighed: "This is a big deal, you should think about it carefully, the youth of a girl's family is precious. Although you are maids, but after so many years, you are regarded as right-hand men. It’s not bad. No matter how much I feel sorry for Fenghuang, I will always think about you.”

It was Yun Fenghuang who said before that she had never given birth before, "It just so happens that Lai's mother is also here this time, you go and invite her here, let me ask her if she would like to enter the palace to accompany Fenghuang?"

This Lai's mother's surname is Jiang, and her name is Jiang Lai. She was the little maid whom the Jiang family married as a dowry when he left the court.

After all these years, she has already been assigned to be the steward of the Xie family, married and had children, and has embraced more than one or two grandchildren - but many sons were born and many died young, and only one daughter and one grandson were left behind. The daughter is old, and the Jiang family made a decision at home. The only grandson is her heart and soul. With Jiang's grace, he will go to school with Xie's children, so Jiang Lai has long planned to sell his life to the Jiang family.

It's just that Jiang shi usually doesn't have anything special for her to do, but now I heard that he wants her to enter the palace to assist Yun Fenghuang, how can there be any disagreement?

Immediately, I swear to God that if I risk my life, I will protect the young lady.

Jiang encouraged her kindly, and tactfully promised that her daughter's family and the young grandson's future would be taken care of by themselves.

Jiang Lai alone is not enough, Jiang Lai pulled the hands of the people around him, picking and choosing, discussing with Xiao Chen, and discussing with Jiang Lai Qingren Qingdu... In short, he was too busy.

In Lanzhou Yeyu Pavilion, Yun Fenghuang was relaxed. The emperor stayed at Luqin Terrace tonight. The imperial concubine was not confinement, so of course she wouldn’t go to bed. It is said that she sent a new concubine to serve her— —Anyway, just don’t bother her!

She didn't want to see Chunjia until the marks on her face dissipated!

Well, strictly speaking, don't want to see anyone!

Yun Fenghuang locked himself in the room on the top floor of Lanzhou Yeyu Pavilion, thinking viciously: I will let Nianxuan deliver meals for these few days, and no one else will be seen!

When are you ready to go out again!

I hope that stupid gentleman will know something interesting and don't bother her.

As a result, the emperor did not come the next day, and Yue Jieyu brought Mrs. Yaoning to the door, and brought a large group of low-ranking concubines—it was said that she was ordered by her loving mother, the Empress Dowager, to come and befriend the sisters in the palace.
