Chapter 142 Support

After some arrangement by Yun Fenghuang, he went downstairs slowly and let the imperial physicians make a diagnosis.

The diagnosis result was then sent to Xinxintang, where Yanyin reported in a low voice: "Mistress Zhaoyi does have signs of cold air entering her body, and the degree is not serious. What the imperial physicians mean is that she has no other discomfort except menstrual pain. It is due to Your Majesty Hong Fu, if he grows older, his bones may ache in a rainy day."

"...Is it possible to cure it?" Chunjia asked after finishing approving a bunch of memorials, pinching his brows.

Yan Yin hesitated: "The imperial doctors said that we can only do our best."

Is this because there is no cure?

Chunjia was silent for a while, and said, "Let them go all out."

Yan Yin bowed his head and took the order.

Chunjia thought for a while, and then asked: "Where is Zhaoyi? What's the situation after hearing this?"

"Ms. Zhaoyi's expression is as usual. She smiled and told her left and right that she knew it would happen."

Did you know it would be like this?

Did he just know that the imperial doctor couldn't cure her, or did he just know that what the imperial doctor said would do what she wanted?

Chunjia thought for a while, and said: "Yesterday, I promised to promote Zhaoyi. About this matter, you can go to the queen to pass the word."

... After a long while, Empress Ji received the order and sent away Yan Yin, who had passed on the message. When she turned around, her fingertips were trembling.

"Your Majesty." The left and right quickly helped her to sit down, poured some tea with distress, and said in a low voice, "Your Majesty, calm down, but a concubine, isn't it a well-behaved concubine in front of you? When Concubine Shu was alive, she didn't dare This time...why do you care about that guy?"

Empress Ji closed her eyes, opened them after a while, and said in a hoarse voice: "In the eyes of Your Majesty, the noble concubine is the same as this palace. They are all people who he has to bring into the palace in order to ascend the throne. From his point of view These concubines are part of the transaction, not his wives and concubines! So what if the status is high? Unless the family of these people in the palace can always suppress His Majesty, otherwise, even if they are in the back, it is nothing to His Majesty. It's useless!"

Hearing the words, the faces of the left and right changed, and they were still waiting to be persuaded, but the queen continued a little excitedly, "Concubine Shu and this Xiaoyun family are not the same, they are His Majesty's own people-if Concubine Shu is not here, I am afraid that Hu Fengyi will not be here. Go, His Majesty will make this palace 'sick' and hand over the palace power to Concubine Shu!"

"It's just that Concubine Shu left abruptly. Although this Xiaoyun family is cunning, she is young and has not entered the palace for a long time. Unlike Concubine Shu, who has been in the palace for many years, if she has His Majesty's support, she will be able to start palace affairs in a short time."

"Your Majesty first asked her to 'help' me, and now he is busy promoting her..."

When she said this, she sneered, her eyes darkened, "I was promoted when Bengong scolded Mrs. Yaoning for her. The empress's reputation has lifted her up, preparing for her to take over the Six Palaces in the future!"

"This...how is this possible?!" The left and right looked pale, and said in a stuttering voice, "How humble is Xiaoyun's background, and he is also worthy of Xiao Xiangfeng's position?!"

Empress Ji said coldly: "How can the lineage of King Fuyang be honored among the branches of the Gongxiang Clan? Isn't Your Majesty still the ninth-five-year-old?"

Left and right didn't dare to let the empress continue to say things that looked down on Chunjia, so they hurriedly changed the subject: "The death of concubine Shu is closely related to Xiaoyun's family, so is the Duke of Yi's mansion willing to watch her covet the position of empress?"

The queen sneered and said: "Yi Guogong's mansion... If Yi Guogong really cherished his daughter-in-law, he would not have taught Concubine Shu to enter the palace at the beginning, and he would not have persuaded Concubine Shu to think of His Majesty after she had a miscarriage. ...Besides Xiaoyun, among the newcomers in this palace, who else do you think is qualified to compete with this palace?"

After thinking about it for a while, they were all silent.

In fact, Yun Fenghuang is not the only one who is qualified to compete with the queen in the palace.

Concubine Zheng, Mrs. Yaoning, and Cui Jieyu, all of them were born like queens, inherited court training from a young age, and were well-bred by their families. Regardless of their temperament, if they could be sent to the palace under the circumstances at that time, they must be unique. Even the ability to preside over the sixth house.

The problem is, Chunjia doesn't want to use them.

The emperor made it clear that he wanted to appoint a newcomer, and among the newcomers, Yun Fenghuang had been in the limelight since he first entered the palace.

Wei Hengyan, Xue Xiaoge, and Yun Qingman, who were originally the most anticipated, were all overshadowed by her.

In this case, the disadvantage of her lack of family background has turned into an advantage - because for the emperor, the Xie family lintel is too low, and Yiguo Duke's mansion is not of the same mind as Yun Fenghuang. The emperor can safely and boldly support Yunfenghuang without worrying about the emergence of a second Ji family.

So don't say that Wei Hengyan and others are not as capable as Yun Fenghuang, even if they are similar, the emperor would not choose Wei Hengyan.

"Now Your Majesty is clearly partial." Empress Ji squinted her eyes and said slowly, "I can't stop Xiaoyun's concubine, and I can't stop it. Simply, His Majesty probably won't do anything to me immediately, and some time……"

She looked to the left and right, "The words just now, let the noble concubine listen to them."

Even if Concubine Zheng suspected that she was sowing discord, no, the queen was clearly sowing discord, so what?

The old man who entered the palace during the emperor's wedding has served the emperor conscientiously for so many years. The noble concubine had a miscarriage, the concubine Shu died, the concubine Yue and concubine Xin were demoted one after another, and Zhaoyuan was concubine... but it turned out to be cheaper for the young concubine who only entered the palace this year Yun's?

Who can be willing?

Empress Ji is not very clear about the alliance between Concubine Zheng and Yunfenghuang, but she believes that even if Concubine Guifei did not interfere with Yunfenghuang before, she would never watch this young latecomer pass by with lightning speed. my own.

And so it is.

Half a day later, when Concubine Zheng received the news, her expression changed on the spot: "Your Majesty is really cruel!"

The servants were still waiting to comfort her, but the imperial concubine had already sighed and said to herself, "Your Majesty has never cared about people like this palace... It's just that your majesty trusts Xiao Yun so much, or does he trust himself? When a young and flamboyant concubine comes out, she will definitely be able to control Liugong?"

She paused, then asked immediately, "Yao Ning and Cui's, do they know about this now?"

When the veteran concubines were in full swing, the promotion of He Yunfenghuang, who was happily in the Yeyu Pavilion in Lanzhou - there is a small change here, that is, Yunfenghuang originally thought that the title was the promised "Heng", of course he also did it. Well, the emperor repented before the battle, and still used "Mao".

As a result, according to the imperial decree of the empress, the word "true" was drafted, and Jin Yun Fenghuang was the real concubine.

This made Yun Fenghuang a little surprised when he received the order. In fact, she proposed to use the word "zhen" as a title before, but she didn't want to continue to use the word "mao", just casually.

She has no obsession with titles, just don't treat her like a kitten or puppy.

Unexpectedly, the emperor vowed to make Concubine Heng, but finally gave her the title of Concubine Zhen—maybe this has something to do with her menstrual pain?

After dismissing the envoy, Yun Fenghuang curled his lips, Jiang's words were right, this person, after pretending for a long time, he didn't know which one was real and which one was fake.

Having been a gentle, tolerant and kind person for so many years, Chunjia has long been used to not caring about small things, and is also used to being considerate of those around her when things don't matter.

With a little trickery, you can win sympathy and pity.

However, she also silently warned herself in her heart that this kind of thing should never happen again, and it would be hard not to be exposed if there were too many times. Moreover, Chunjia's nature is not pure generosity and weakness, as long as it involves things that he really cares about, or called He sensed something was wrong, but it wasn't as easy to coax as it is now.

Now he is easy to coax, not really easy to coax, but because he still trusts and indulges Yun Fenghuang, so he is easy to talk to.

After calming down, Yun Fenghuang dressed up and went to... the Fangyin Hall to give thanks.

"The emperor made you a real concubine. This is trusting your virtue and ability. You just do what you want to do. What are you doing at Xie Ai's house?" After a long while, the Empress Dowager Yuan, who looked much better, smiled lightly, and let Yun, who was kneeling on the ground, Feng Huang got up, and said kindly, "Ai Jia never said anything to him!"

Yun Fenghuang got up according to his words, but smiled and approached her, coquettishly said: "Your Majesty is the most filial to the Empress Dowager, if the Empress Dowager doesn't like concubines, Your Majesty will not allow concubines to be promoted to the throne! Now concubine Having won the title of True Concubine, how can I not come to thank the Empress Dowager for not remembering the faults of villains?"

He also said, "Furthermore, I was Zhaoyi before I became a concubine. Even if I want to be promoted, I am still a wife. The reason why your majesty will let me be promoted directly to the concubine is because I have served you several times and you have never given up on me. There is such grace."

Empress Dowager Yuan smiled and said: "The Ai family has long forgotten about such an idea, but you bring it up from time to time!"

Dip the willow next to her to remind her: "Your Majesty, don't be fooled by the Concubine Zhen. The servant girl looked at her. Where did the Concubine Zhen come to thank you? She came to ask for favors for Wei Jieyu! Think about it, the Concubine Zhen You have been promoted to two ranks, and Wei Jieyu often serves you in front of you, so you can't live without a reward?"

"This is a reasonable truth." After hearing this, Queen Mother Yuan glanced at Wei Hengyan who was not far away. Wei Hengyan was pleasantly surprised, and hurriedly knelt down: "I just did what I was supposed to do, so I dare not..."

Empress Dowager Yuan interrupted her in a harmonious voice: "The Ai family has seen your hard work these days. The emperor is busy with government affairs, but he is negligent."

On the spot, he asked Zhanliu to send a palace official to send a message to Xingxintang, asking the emperor to promote Wei Hengyan to a higher level.

Fearing that Wei Hengyan would be dissatisfied because Yun Fenghuang was promoted to two ranks and he only got one rank, the queen mother explained euphemistically, "You are still young, and you are not as busy as the concubine Zhen. You will have a bright future."

Apart from the emperor's preference, the need for her to check and balance the queen, personal ability and other reasons for Yun Fenghuang's direct promotion to the real concubine, the most important thing is that this concubine cannot have children.

So there is no need to consider her promotion after having children.

But Wei Hengyan is different. She is young and has no problem with her fertility.

Right now, just like Yun Fenghuang, she was promoted to wife, and she got pregnant and gave birth to a child. Wouldn't she be promoted to the fourth concubine in a blink of an eye?

Although most of the high positions in the palace are now vacant, the position of the fourth concubine is not trivial, and they will not be allowed out in a leisurely manner—Chunjia has only conferred the titles of imperial concubine and concubine Shu until now. Of these two, the former was deeply entrenched in the palace and the Forbidden Army. For Chun Jia, who had just ascended the throne at that time, Zheng Gu's power and status could directly threaten his life and determine whether he would "died suddenly" inexplicably; Needless to say, not to mention Duke Yi's character and family education, but in terms of loyalty, he is definitely the number one person in the dynasty.

In addition, Yuan Lianniang, as a green plum, and Cui Lianye, as Cui Wan's daughter, were only relegated to the concubine position, and they failed to rise to the next level.

Chunjia treats Yunfenghuang quite a bit connivingly, but intentionally or unintentionally suppresses her from being promoted easily, and also does not want her to covet the position of fourth concubine too early.

These Wei Hengyan also knew it in his heart, although he was a little regretful, he was ecstatic to thank him.

Turning his head around, he would have to thank Yun Fenghuang in private: "If it wasn't for my sister's help, I'm afraid my sister would be wasting away in Jieyu's position right now."

Well, when Wei Hengyan said this, he was also a little bit dumbfounded, when did he become a concubine to Jieyu less than a year after entering the palace, is it a waste?

Think about Xue Xiaoge, think about Yun Qingman, these two newcomers of the same age who were very popular when they entered the palace and were considered to be her main opponents, where are they now? Who remembers them? Who cares about them?

Wei Hengyan felt that he was really, full of superiority!

But look at Concubine Zhen walking in front, she: "..."

So what, hugging your thighs is also a kind of strength, right?

Although at the beginning, she thought she was the other's thigh...
