Chapter 121 Princess Marriage
Two days later, in Lanzhou Yeyu Pavilion, Yun Fenghuang looked at the eight people in front of him and was very satisfied.
Mother still loves me.
The first maidservant of the Qing generation, Jiang brought a total of two from afar this time, but the Qing people and Qingdu sent them in; the second-class maids of the Qing generation were also given four, named Hong E, Dan'e, Chi'e, and Zhu'e; in addition, there are Jiang Lai and Xie Hengyu's mothers, who are urgently needed by her here to give birth—this battle is basically capable of the people Jiang brought from afar this time. It's all over.
"Because of the hasty departure before, Madam traveled lightly, and there were not many people around." The Qing people also explained, "Furthermore, Madam feels that we have been in the Northland all along, and we don't know much about the court situation. Your Majesty needs to make up for the servants." , should also use some people who have served in the palace for a long time, who understand some taboos, and can also take care of maids and other people... If the empress thinks there is something lacking, she will pass the word out in the future, and the family will think about it."
He added, "Because the thirteenth sons and the others came to the imperial capital to rush for the exam, even if the wife will go back to the Northland, the thirteenth young lady will definitely stay."
Yun Fenghuang nodded: "I listen to mother."
She is no stranger to these eight people, such as Jiang Lai and Xie Hengyu, one is the son of the Jiang family, the other is the son of the Xie family, and they all grew up watching her, the concubine. The Qing people, Qingdu, had more face-to-face meetings than their brothers. The only ones that are slightly distant are the four red calyxes, red calyxes, red calyxes, and red calyxes, but they are still familiar.
Such a name is used to it, and I don't bother to change it. After a little greeting, I talked about the business: "The rest of the palace is fine. I barely managed it. It was Yi Yuwan, who was pregnant with the emperor's heir. Pian Bengong and her are both young, so they don't know anything. These days, I just listened to the imperial doctor and recalled that my ex-mother was considerate of her sisters-in-law. But the two mothers have to pay more attention."
Jiang Lai and Xie Hengyu agreed that it was their own business, after a short discussion, they decided to let Jiang Lai serve Yi Xingen, and take care of the concubine who gave birth to her young lady nearby.
And Xie Hengyu stayed by Yun Fenghuang's side to make some suggestions.
As for the others, the Qing people, Qingdu, naturally filled the vacancies of Xi Le and Xijing, and promoted two young maids who looked at their wits, renamed them Qing Xu and Qing Han, and made up for the four places of big court ladies.
As for Liu Hong and Nian Xuan, who were originally leading the palace ladies, Jiang Lai and Xie Hengyu were divided up one by one—in fact, Yun Fenghuang had long thought that these two were not suitable for serving as close servants, so Nian Xuan let alone, loyal With more than enough but not enough ability, but who understands medicine and some basic medical skills, it is most suitable to help Jiang Lai, a mother who is going to take care of Yi Xingen.
As for Liu Hong, it was quite a coincidence that this person came to Yun Fenghuang, and Yun Fenghuang was not sure whether or not she had anything to do with the Imperial City Secretary. But looking at his behavior, it can only be said that it is quite satisfactory. He is also a taciturn person, even if he is promoted to a servant, he doesn't have much intention to take the initiative to get closer to his master.
Regardless of whether it was due to his personality or his subjective reluctance to get close to Yun Fenghuang, in short, if Yun Fenghuang hadn't had a better candidate, he would not have tolerated her in the morning.
Now that she is sponsored by her natal family, it is not easy to drive her away directly. After all, the person who helped her in Xiaopenglai also used this banner to demand someone from the queen. In the end, her natal family just sent her into the palace, and they made her a first-class court lady. She didn't have a good arrangement, so she seemed too mean and ungrateful.
Therefore, let Xie Hengyu take it with him, firstly, it is convenient for monitoring; secondly, this is the mother who came with Yunfenghuang's mother, and she is the only person who has come here so far in Xuanqing Palace. In the future, she must serve the pregnant concubine, and then take care of the emperor of. Liu Hong gave her a hand, and she might not be able to be the person next to the emperor's heir in the future, so it can't be said that Yun Fenghuang treated her badly.
With this personnel change, Lanzhou Yeyu Pavilion had to be in a hurry for a while-after all, although Qingdu and others are capable, they have been working in such a peaceful and peaceful family like the Xie family before. Xie Shi only. Now that he suddenly entered the palace, he needed to learn and adapt a lot, and he had to get in touch with Chen Zhu and other palace servants to understand the specific situation of Xuanqing Palace...
Rao Yun Fenghuang had enough prestige in front of Chen Zhu and the others, so that they would not dare to fight against the new confidantes whether they wanted to or not. The inside and outside of the Night Rain Pavilion looked a little different.
At this time, Empress Dowager Ji returned with those who went to Shanyuan Temple to pray for blessings.
According to the rules, when the Empress Dowager comes in and out, the concubines who stayed in the palace before should go to the gate of the palace to greet her.
However, when Yun Fenghuang heard that the queen mother was coming back, she was planning to pick out a dress, so empress Ji sent someone to inform her that she didn't have to go.
The reason was that Empress Dowager Ji was tired from the journey, and the phoenix chariot did not stop at the door, but went directly to her residence, so everyone was spared to greet her.
It's no wonder Yun Fenghuang would believe this, she kindly dismissed the little maid in front of the empress, then turned around and said to Qing people in Qingdu: "I'm afraid something went wrong during this prayer."
The Qing people pursed their lips and smiled: "I heard from Mr. Chen that there was a quarrel between Yuzhen Palace and the concubines of Ranxiang Palace before departure. Let’s make trouble in the Taoist temple. It’s just that the servant girl is a little puzzled. I heard that the three generations of phoenix masters of the Ji family are not soft-tempered. What is the identity of the mother, empress, and empress dowager? Is it possible that you can’t suppress a few concubines?”
"Maybe it's not a concubine, but a quarrel between concubines?" Qingdu guessed, "Mrs. Yaoning doesn't seem to have a good temper either?"
Yun Fenghuang shook his round fan and laughed: "Then Gu Zhen is indeed not a good tempered person, but he is not unreasonable...Jia Jieyu, Lu Jieyu and Wei Jieyu don't have any reason, so I don't dare to provoke her rashly." .Forget it. Let’s guess here and there. Why don’t we ask someone to ask about it? After all, there are so many people who have gone back here, so maybe some news will come out.”
As a result, Chen Zhu was ordered to go out for a walk, and he really found out!
And if they hadn't found out, Yun Fenghuang's master and servant would never have guessed that—Princess Jinyun was going to be engaged to Ji Minggan!
Empress Dowager Ji said that they fell in love with their childhood sweethearts. When they went back to Shanyuan temple and asked the temple master to give the princess a marriage, it happened that Ji Minggan agreed, and the princess was willing, so the engagement was logical.
But Chen Zhu said in a low voice: "People who went to pray for blessings privately revealed that this is all a cover. It is because Her Highness the Princess went out to play and did not return all night. When she was found, she was with Ji Minggan. The lonely man and widow... ...The queen mother was so angry that she fell ill in Shanyuan Temple, and she insisted on coming back on time to protect the princess's reputation."
"There is such a thing!" Yun Fenghuang was very surprised, although she knew before that the relationship between Minghui, Jinyun and Ji Minggan was quite awkward, Minghui loved Ji Minggan wholeheartedly, but Ji Minggan judged people by appearance She is not very interested in her direct cousin Minghui, and prefers to tease the beautiful Princess Jinyun; as for Princess Jinyun, she is not indifferent to Ji Minggan's teasing, but although she is not as old as Yun Fenghuang, she has been in the palace for a long time. He is not stupid, he knows that even though he was raised by Empress Dowager Ji, he cannot be compared with Minghui's own daughter at all.
Anyway, from Yun Fenghuang's point of view, even if Princess Jinyun liked Ji Minggan, she would not do anything until Princess Minghui's mother and daughter clearly gave up Ji Minggan.
Even when Ji Minggan took the initiative to look for her, she would deliberately avoid it, so as not to offend his aunt.
How could such a thing happen now?
The most important thing is that Ji Minggan was imprisoned together with Xingningbo's nephew Yuan Ke because of the thorough investigation of the "assassination" after the emperor fell into the water. But he was immediately taken back to the imperial capital by Hai Xihou to reflect behind closed doors... Why did he suddenly appear in Qishan, and spend a night with the princess outside?
Yun Fenghuang thought for a while, then asked Chen Zhu, "Do you know how Her Highness Princess Minghui is doing now?"
"I haven't shown up all the time. It is said that I fell ill due to the cold wind blowing while praying in the Taoist temple, so I am recuperating." Chen Zhu looked delicate, "It was the morning after the incident between Princess Jinyun and Ji Minggan came out."
What a coincidence.
The master and servant exchanged a tacit look, and Yun Fenghuang sighed without sincerity: "Poor Your Royal Highness."
In fact, Yun Fenghuang said, from the standpoint of a princess, no matter which princess it is, what good is it to marry Ji Minggan?
Not to mention that the Ji family is now in decline, even when the sun is in full swing, the emperor is still trembling, let alone the princess? After getting through the door, don't talk about putting money on gold branches and jade leaves, it would be nice not to be oppressed by the Ji family—especially Ji Minggan, as the youngest son of the first line, judging from Yun Fenghuang's several contacts with him, this is a person who is held in high esteem. The grown-up Zhu'er doesn't know how to be considerate at all.
This can be seen from his repeated dislike of Princess Minghui in public, he has no respect for imperial power at all in his heart.
Xiaozong's flesh and blood are not worthy of awe in his eyes, but he himself really needs the freedom to do his own way, and he will not allow others to disobey him at all.
Otherwise, would the mother-in-law, Empress Dowager Ji, fulfill her biological daughter's wish?
Although I don't know why Princess Jinyun and Ji Minggan, the lovers, got their wish... Anyway, in Yun Fenghuang's opinion, this is a good thing for Princess Minghui.
Of course, Princess Minghui may not think so, and Yun Fenghuang will not care about it.
This is not her daughter, she doesn't feel bad no matter how much she cries.
If this was her daughter, she would have followed Jiang's big ears and slapped her. There are so many young talents in the government and the public, are you as blind as you!
However, after the emperor came over that day, Yun Fenghuang still brought up the old story again: "Your Majesty said at the beginning that you don't want His Highness Princess Minghui to descend to Ji Minggan, but now it's done! Should I congratulate Your Majesty as a concubine?"
"Ji Minggan's great talent and lack of conduct are not good." Hearing this, Chunjia smiled slightly, with a usual gentle face, but a cool tone, and said, "How can He De be the princess?"
Yun Fenghuang was stunned, and said: "But it has already spread in the palace..."
"Just now I ordered someone to kill the palace servant who slandered the princess's name." Chunjia waved his hand casually, "My concubine is always smart, don't let mere rumors fool you."
"...Yes." Yun Fenghuang thought to himself at this moment that Empress Dowager Ji's face is not clear, um, so, could it be that Empress Dowager Ji deliberately matched Princess Jinyun to Ji Minggan?
Just why did the Queen Mother do this?
Could it be that she couldn't stand Princess Minghui's infatuated plea?
She lost her mind for a while, and suddenly heard Chunjia say: "But Minghui and the others are so big, the marriage should really look good. It was also my elder brother's negligence. They didn't mention it after seeing their mother, so they didn't say anything. If you think about it, you will be missed by the traitor... Does the unknown concubine have any suggestions?"
I?
Yun Fenghuang was stunned, should I suggest consorts to the princesses?
Your Majesty, are you afraid that you have misunderstood the concubine?
The concubine has been in the imperial capital for three years, if she is qualified enough to know the sons of nobles who are worthy of the Lord, why do she need to take the initiative to curry favor with a concubine of the Duke's mansion? ? ?
Ah, wait……
The words of her refusal had just reached her lips, when she suddenly thought of something!
