Treacherous Living in the Imperial Harem

Chapter 152 Emperor: Confirmed, This Is Indeed True

Xie Hengyu said: "Xue Jieyu stayed behind closed doors the next day after she was promoted. She said to the outside world that she was grateful for the love of her loving mother, the Empress Dowager, and decided to become a vegetarian for a year to pray for her loving mother, the Empress Dowager."

"Isn't this Palace going to reward her for the kind mother Empress Dowager?" Yun Fenghuang smiled and said, "She's a good one."

She supported Xue Xiaoge just on a whim, and it could be said to be a casual move: Xue Xiaoge is Ji Muzi's direct cousin, and the Xue family started their business with the Ji family, so they can be regarded as Ji's direct line confidants.

This kind of relationship is definitely not something that can be won over by giving Xue Xiaoge a Jieyu position.

Yun Fenghuang didn't expect the other party to come closer either.

However, she can act as if nothing had happened after Xue Xiaoge was promoted to the concubine, but Xue Xiaoge can't do nothing: the two roads before her are one is to take advantage of the situation and surrender to Yun Fenghuang; determination.

If she doesn't do anything, then both Yunfenghuang and Ji's will start to target her.

After all, for Yun Fenghuang, you are indifferent to the benefits given by me, isn't it just wanting to die?

As far as the Ji family is concerned, with so many concubines in the palace, why did Yun Fenghuang want to promote you? Did you do something in private? Did you secretly sell my Ji family? !

Yun Fenghuang originally guessed that Xue Xiaoge should bite the bullet and continue to go with the queen sisters, after all, she had to think about her family. The most important thing is that as long as Xue Xiaoge is not stupid enough, he should understand that even if she takes refuge in Yunfenghuang, she will not be reused, she will only become a pawn, and it is the kind of pawn used to deal with Ji's family and her father and brother.

But after all, this person is a lady of every family, and she was a bit quick-witted at the critical moment: she didn't look for Yun Fenghuang, nor did she contact Empress Ji or Ji Muzi, but used the reason for this promotion to arrest the loving mother Empress Dowager as a cover .

Although this is only a stopgap measure, at least it bought a period of relaxation, allowing her to choose calmly.

Maybe the situation is changing during this period, so there is no need to be in a dilemma?

Yun Fenghuang knew Xue Xiaoge's careful thinking like the back of his hand, and didn't intend to care about it.

Because the greatest value of this newly promoted Jieyu is the relationship with the Ji family, and it is not yet time to completely eradicate the Ji family from the palace, Xue Xiaoge wants to delay, which is exactly what she wants.

Yun Fenghuang thought about it, and asked Xie Hengyu: "Send something to Xue Jieyu tomorrow, just say that this palace feels her filial piety, and I would like to reward her."

In fact, this should have been done by the queen.

But Empress Ji claimed to be sick before, and now the loving mother Empress Dowager's birthday is just over, forgive her for not being able to get well soon - otherwise Yun Fenghuang would just go to the Empress Yuan to tell the queen "in order not to hold a birthday banquet for the loving Empress Dowager pretending to be sick" .

Then, with regard to the matter of the Sixth Palace right now, her real concubine could not but watch for the empress.

Back to Empress Ji, Yun Fenghuang will definitely go to ask for credit.

Xie Hengyu knew what his mother was thinking, so he couldn't help smiling, and after agreeing, he said: "My lady, there is news from the family, saying that the eleventh son and the others have settled down, and they are also with the scholars who have gathered in the imperial capital now. If you have some contacts, you can come to see your empress at any time."

In fact, if you just want to meet Yun Fenghuang, you don't need to prepare for so long.

The main reason is that Yun Fenghuang is not sure whether Emperor Chunjia will find an excuse to meet with them by chance and conduct a face-to-face assessment.

It is related to Enke's ranking and Shangzhu's one-step success. Naturally, the Xie family did not dare to neglect it. They always had to think over and over again, and deal with all possible situations well.

"Are the Jiang family's disciples together?" Yun Fenghuang became more cautious when he heard the words, and asked in a low voice.

Her natal family has always been kind to her, this time the Jiang family and the Xie family's children came to the imperial capital to take the exam together, since they summoned the Xie family's children, they had to ignore the Jiang family's children.

But when it comes to the choice of son-in-law, Yun Fenghuang would rather be on the safe side: if Jiang's children are better than Xie's, then even if they offend his family, Yun Fenghuang will not let them have a chance to be in the emperor's eyes right now.

Xie Hengyu whispered: "Don't worry, it's fine to come together."

The implication is that the children of the Xie family are all above the Jiang family in terms of talent and appearance.

Yun Fenghuang gave a "hmm" and said: "They are all our own people. Before coming here, it's okay to let them know some things. If you don't know the time, you will come in, cause some misunderstandings, and let outsiders see the joke."

Xie Hengyu understood: "The servant girl will let someone tell the Biao Gongzi and them that His Majesty intends to choose a son-in-law from the Xie family."

Just tell Jiang's side directly, if something goes wrong, then Xie's quarrel with Jiang's, or cheating them, can also gain the moral upper hand.

As for whether it was fair to the Jiang family, Yun Fenghuang didn't consider it.

Until she is sure that she is in a safe environment, she only sees winners and losers, regardless of right and wrong.

After discussing with Xie Hengyu, it was decided that at noon the next day, Yun Fenghuang ordered someone to drive Yun Qingman's master and servant to Xiangtaoxuan. During this period, Yun Qingman knelt and begged in the court for a long time with tears, but she ignored it. .

And under the arrangement of left and right, Xinjin Shun Jieyu's behavior was said to be grateful for Yun Fenghuang's kindness to the people in the palace, especially for her younger sister of the same clan, and she was reluctant to leave—more and more evidence that the real concubine is just a concubine. He looks vigorous and resolute, but he is actually a tolerant, virtuous and virtuous person.

So what, no matter people believe it or not, anyway, Lanzhou Yeyu Pavilion preached like this.

If there is too much publicity, maybe someone will listen to it?

Isn't that how Yun Fenghuang's reputation as a virtuous and virtuous lady model back then came out?

Xie Hengyu and others followed the Jiang family, and Jiang's two daughters' reputation management, they all participated, and they were very handy in this matter.

So much so that the emperor turned his head and saw Yun Fenghuang, and said to her: "Nowadays, the palace is sending out faxes of my concubine's kindness and gentleness. I almost thought that when did my real concubine change?"

"Thanks to His Majesty's favor, it's not surprising that I can often accompany you and be influenced by His Majesty, and make some progress." Yun Fenghuang said immediately after hearing the words, "After all, as the saying goes, those who are close to vermilion are red and those who are close to ink are black, and your majesty is dragon." Zhang Fengzi is brilliant and powerful, if my concubine is not kind and gentle, how can she be worthy of serving?"

The meaning inside and outside the words is that you, the emperor, are not the same master as you appear to be, how dare you talk about me?

The emperor was very satisfied: "Well, it's confirmed, you are indeed the real concubine."

Yan Yin and the others couldn't help laughing.

Not to mention the emperor, even they are getting used to it now.

Concubine Zhen really refuses to let people talk about her tongue.

Take it easy and let the emperor sneer and sarcasm. If the emperor says one thing to her, she can't wait to reply to the emperor ten words.

Can be mixed up to now...

The true concubine is not only good at choking people, but also coaxing people. She came here today to find the emperor with a purpose. When Chunjia was angry, she talked sweetly with her feet. Chunjia frowned frequently, dismissed the left and right, and said vigilantly: " The fourth concubine is impossible! The position of the fourth concubine is no small matter, even if I agree, the queen mother and the others will not agree!"

Seeing Yun Fenghuang raising his eyebrows, the emperor hurriedly said again, "It's not okay to give a reward to your family! Enke is coming soon, and this move may cause misunderstandings among the people below. When the time comes, the scholars who fail the ranking will have to suspect my favoritism!"

Yun Fenghuang said: "No..."

"What do you want to do to Niangniang? Has she been very honest recently?" The emperor had a headache, "What do you still want to do to the empress or the noble concubine? I know that the palace has been calm for the past two days. It will take a while, let Mother Yuan be clean for a few days, will it work?"

"Where did your majesty go?" Yun Fenghuang was angry and funny, shaking his round fan and glanced at him, "It's just that I received news from my family that my cousins ​​had settled down in the imperial capital. Say, although we are going back to the palace soon, there are still some days after all. How about calling them to the palace for a meeting? After all, the rules in the palace are tight, and here in the palace, at least it’s easier. I haven’t met my blood relatives for a long time. I don't want to restrain them."

"This is what I promised earlier." Chunjia did not let down her vigilance because of this, and still looked at her suspiciously, and said, "At the beginning, I told you to find the queen to arrange it. Now that the queen is sick, you can do it yourself. That's right. Why do you want to pester me here specifically?"

All in all, he still suspected that Yun Fenghuang had other plans.

"My concubine's brothers are young heroes with both talent and appearance." Yun Fenghuang thought to himself that he didn't do anything to the emperor, why did he think of himself that way?

This stupid gentleman is really suspicious.

The trust between the emperor and concubine is everywhere!

So he snorted and said, "If Your Majesty is not busy at that time, would you like to summon them and give them some words of encouragement?"

"I'm busy with government affairs, so I may not have time." Chunjia refused straight away, probably because she was afraid that she would not let her go, and in order to calm things down, she thought about it and added, "I can give you something to make a face for you."

Yun Fenghuang smiled and said: "The concubine, on behalf of my brother, thank you so much, Your Majesty."

After talking about this matter, she didn't stay any longer, and asked a few words about the emperor's daily life hypocritically, then got up and left.

When she left, she noticed that the emperor breathed a sigh of relief. It was evident that she didn't believe it until now, that she really had no other intentions in coming here...

"Is this Gong the kind of person who has to ask for this or that after seeing him?" Back in Lanzhou Yeyu Pavilion, Yun Fenghuang felt annoyed, and said to Xie Hengyu, "Mom didn't see it, Bengong When you go out, His Majesty looks like you are sending a thief away!"

Xie Hengyu held back a smile to comfort her: "This shows that His Majesty values ​​you. Otherwise, how can a dignified son of heaven be afraid of a concubine? It can be seen that His Majesty can't bear to reject you, so that's why he feels embarrassed."

Yun Fenghuang said: "It's all an excuse if you can't bear it. If you really want to give it, you can throw away your conscience, let alone have the heart?"

But she just said something like this casually, and talked with her feet about the business, "Your Majesty said that since the queen is ill, let me handle this matter by myself. In this way, this matter should be done sooner rather than later, because in half a month we I have to go back to the Imperial Capital. In two days, I will start packing, and when I go back, it will be the Mid-Autumn Festival again. I am so busy, why not take advantage of these two days of cleanliness and be able to speak calmly."

Xie Hengyu nodded in agreement, turned around and went to make arrangements, so after three days it was finalized, to meet Xie Wuzheng and others in the palace.

Three days passed in a blink of an eye, early this morning, Chen Zhu went to wait at the gate of the palace, and after a while, he welcomed a group of regular uniformed scholars to Lanzhou Yeyu Pavilion.

The leader is Xie Heng, who ranks ninth in Xie's generation. This is the eldest son of the second family. He is already married and has several children. Because of his older age and calm behavior, this time the Xie clan and the Jiang clan's children came to the Imperial Capital together, with him as the leader.

At this moment, when you enter the door, as soon as you lift the sleeves of your robe, you will pay respects.

"Why should my family be so out of touch?" Yun Fenghuang waved his hand, stepped down from the chair, and said nonchalantly, "Sit down, we have a lot to talk about today, we don't have so much time to be polite. "

"...Sister Seventeen has grown a lot taller." Xie Heng is not very familiar with Yun Fenghuang, let's put it this way, among the people who came here today, except for Xie Twenty-two, Xie Yanxiu, Xie Twenty-three, and Xie Tu Except for Jiang Yijiang, including her brother Xie Shisan and Xie Xiliu, they are not very familiar with her.

After all, the age gap is too big, even if they are related by blood, they cannot play together at all.

Xie Yanxiu, Xie Tu, and Jiang Zhui were about the same age as Yun Fenghuang, and had similar temperaments. When Yun Fenghuang was in Beidi, they were in the same circle.

Well, it's the small circle that crowds out Chao Jingyou and Chao's children...

That's why even though Xie Heng is a direct cousin, he doesn't dare to be too casual with his cousin who has become a real concubine at this moment. Hearing this, he still cupped his hands and said with a smile, "Looking at his eyebrows and eyes, he looks more and more like a fourth uncle."

Yun Fenghuang, however, was too lazy to chatter, and ordered Qing Xu and the others to serve tea, and then ordered the venue to be cleared, leaving only Xie Hengyu, Qing Du, and Qing Ren behind, and asked, "How is Beidi now?"
