Chapter 156 The Right to Use It, Expired and Void
After the meal, Yun Fenghuang stayed with the brothers to chat for a while, watching the red sun sink, Xie Heng didn't dare to delay any longer, and offered to resign on the pretext that there was no place to live on the mountain and it was inconvenient to go down the mountain after dark.
It was indeed too late to stay any longer, so Yun Fenghuang asked people to take the rewards they had prepared long ago, one per person, except for those who were present, the few disciples from Jiang's side who did not come, and the first wife of Xie's family The first, second, third, and fifth cousins all have a share.
Seeing this, Xie Heng frowned, and said: "At the beginning, my sister entered the palace in a hurry, we didn't give her anything, how can I ask my sister to spend so much money?"
There were a lot of people on their trip, and Yunfenghuang's gift was not generous, so after all the calculations, the expense was not a small sum.
"Don't worry, I didn't save these by myself." Yun Fenghuang smiled slightly when he heard the words, "It's all rewards from above and filial piety from below, and I can't use them all up. Ash."
Just as he was talking, the little maid from the outside came to report, saying that geese had been attracted.
Yun Fenghuang ordered when he heard the words: "Let him come in."
He casually introduced to Xie Heng and others, "This is the person in front of His Majesty."
After a while, Yan Yin came in, followed by a few servants, holding a tray covered with a brocade handkerchief, and after seeing the ceremony, Yan Yin said: "Your Majesty learned that the empress will meet with a blood relative today, so I asked my maidservant to send some. something here."
This was what Chunjia had promised before, and Yun Fenghuang was not surprised. He said a few words of gratitude to Shengen, and let Xie Heng take over.
After the geese were led away, Xie Heng and the others followed suit.
Both Xie Tu and Jiang Zhui were very reluctant to part. Although Xie Yanxiu's temperament was not very revealing, she turned her head frequently when going out.
Seeing this, Yun Fenghuang promised to find a chance to bring them into the palace to meet again in a few days, and then coaxed away the three playmates who grew up together.
But Xie Heng looked at them, but decided to find an excuse to teach them a good life, so that Yun Fenghuang could not let them develop a playful and undisciplined temperament.
"Twenty-Three Young Master Da Xiaoai is attached to you. I didn't expect to see you for three years, and you are still the same as before." The main hall that had regained its tranquility heard the chirping of birds, and Xie Hengyu brought up the warmed buffalo milk and smiled lightly. He said, "I just saw that he still has twenty-two sons and cousins arguing with you, and he seems to have returned home in a daze."
Yun Fenghuang smiled: "When I look at them, I feel the same as before."
However, he didn't intend to continue this topic, so he asked, "Is there anything going on in the palace today?"
In the past two days, she has actually acted as the empress. The bones of the An family of the Jin family are not yet cold, the empress of Ji and the concubine Zheng are more disgraced than the other, and the six palaces are trembling under the name of the real concubine. No matter what the concubines think in their hearts, it is true. calm.
But Yun Fenghuang couldn't get away today because her family's entry into the palace was delayed for a long time, and I don't know if anyone thinks this is a good opportunity, what are they doing in private?
"The empress, the imperial concubine, and Xue Jieyu prayed for the loving mother, the empress dowager as usual." Xie Hengyu said, "Concubine Ying and Yue Xiuyuan are doing as usual. The imperial physician was called in one night, and it seemed that he had caught a cold or something. Chen Zhu has already arranged for someone to investigate what is going on, and there will be news about it later."
She paused here, then Fang continued, "As for Shun Jieyu, at noon today, two maids who were unfamiliar with her sneaked in through the back door and whispered to a steward of Xiangtaoxuan. It's been a while."
Yun Fenghuang said "Yes" and said, "Keep watching."
He asked again, "By the way, what did Princess Minghui do after she went back just now?"
"No, it's just that the mother and the empress dowager went to see it in person, but I don't know what the mother and daughter said in private." Xie Hengyu said, "Just now someone came to report that Princess Penglai and Princess Kunze also went to see it one after another. Her Royal Highness Princess Minghui, but Her Royal Highness Jinyun is still 'resting'."
When the Empress Dowager Ji went to Shanyuan Temple to pray for blessings, she brought all the princesses and princesses with her, except for the concubines who were willing to go with her.
After returning, Princess Jinyun spread rumors with Ji Minggan. After Chunjia forcibly stopped this matter, Princess Jinyun began to "sick".
This seems to be the meaning of her biological mother, Wu Taipin. So far, this golden branch and jade leaf has lived in seclusion, and she has the tendency to stay at home until she declines.
I even heard that Princess Minghui wanted to go out to play with Princess Jinyun several times, but she was blocked by Wu Taipin.
"Wu Taipin is a sensible person." At this moment, Yun Fenghuang said, "It's because of your majesty's background, even if you don't have much friendship with Princess Jinyun, you can't treat her badly on the scene. Now your majesty has made it clear that he will personally marry the princesses. It's up to you, if Wu Taipin's mother and daughter behave more docilely, your Majesty will love him more."
After all, Wu Taipin's mother and daughter have lived with Empress Dowager Ji all these years, and they respect Empress Dowager Ji and the Ji family very much.
But at this moment, the front and back palaces are all changing, and the Ji family is a little bit hard to protect themselves. If they continue to follow the Empress Dowager Ji, what will happen if they anger the emperor?
But if they want to turn against Empress Dowager Ji immediately, they dare not.
Right now, I can only stay at home.
The same thinking as Xue Xiaoge, no one dared to offend, no one dared to please, so he shrank his head and hid. Maybe if you hide and hide, you don't need to choose?
After thinking about it for a while, Yun Fenghuang asked Xie Hengyu to try to find out the details of Wu Taipin.
In fact, she wanted to know these things a long time ago, but before acting as the queen, there were no old people who had lived in the palace by her side, so she had nowhere to ask.
Empress Dowager Yuan made it clear to Chunjia that she wanted her to check and balance the queen but would not let her be the successor, and the Ji family was still dying. Empress Ji lost power for a while, and there might not be a time when she regained power. Yun Fenghuang felt that she had the right not to expire Forfeit, take advantage of the momentum now, and solve all the things that are inconvenient to do in the past or in the future.
Thinking like this, she explained a lot of things, and seeing that it was getting late, she ordered someone to bring dinner.
After eating, he asked someone to wait for him to take a bath and change clothes, and he was told that Chunjia was here.
"Why didn't Your Majesty rest in Dan Ruo Ting today?" Yun Fenghuang raised his eyebrows when he heard the words, brushed his wet long hair, walked into the inner room with wooden clogs, and asked briskly, "I still have something to do. Command my concubine?"
Chunjia was staring at the outside of the half-open window, and didn't look back after hearing this, just said: "Is that yours?"
Yun Fenghuang walked over to look suspiciously, then frowned, and said, "Where did these beasts come from? I haven't seen them in the past two days."
He turned around and asked Qingdu, "Where did those cats come from? Does anyone here feed them?"
Qingdu quickly blessed him: "My maidservant will ask now."
She came back not long after she went out, she lowered her head and said, "It was Dane who saw the cuteness of those civet cats, and it seemed that one of them was pregnant, so...he gave leftovers a few times."
This is actually not a big deal, but Yun Fenghuang just used the term "animal", obviously not happy with what they did, so Qingdu was a little panicked.
"If that's the case, let's ask someone to send it out to find someone else to raise it." Yun Fenghuang didn't get angry when he heard the words, and just said, "You didn't know when you entered the palace. Earlier, Shun Jieyu had a dowry maid beside her, but she was caught by a civet cat. I got sick after being injured, and I went there within a few days. There are many concubines in Lanzhou Yeyu Pavilion, all of them are delicate and tender, and Yigui is still pregnant. But if something goes wrong, can you bear it? ?”
Qing Du hastily pleaded guilty: "The maidservants don't know about this, so please punish me, Your Majesty."
The emperor was here, and it was inconvenient for Yun Fenghuang to talk to them, so he waved her hand and asked her to go out and tell Dan E and the others to send away the cats, then she smiled and asked Chunjia: "I remember that Your Majesty loved teasing these little things before. What? Why don’t I ask them to keep one or two beautiful ones, pack them up and send them to Xingxintang?”
Chunjia turned around slowly, took a sip of the tea on the table, and said with a half-smile, "You still have the nerve to tell? Shun Jieyu lost a maid, and I always remember it firmly, reminding people everywhere, When we arrive at me, don't you worry that I will be scratched by them?"
"Your Majesty is the Son of Heaven, can you compare with mere mortals?" Yun Fenghuang prevaricated, "I have seen Your Majesty tease civet cats in the palace before, but no one is rude to Your Majesty. It can be seen that all things have spirits, and civet cats also Knowing that His Majesty is an extraordinary person, don't take it lightly."
It’s okay if she didn’t say that, but when she said it, Chunjia remembered that when she was not so busy before, she did tease the civet cats passing by a few times, and those civet cats became more and more heartless, and the best thing was probably to cross the river and tear down the bridge—— He squinted at Yun Fenghuang, and thought to himself, no wonder he gave this concubine the title "Mao" back then, and he often gave him a face when he ate his, drank his, lived in his, tsk tsk, this is really not a family ?
"Your Majesty, what happened to Princess Minghui?" Yun Fenghuang didn't know what he was thinking, so seeing his silence, he took the initiative to ask, "A concubine's brother is here today, and the princess was in a hurry to leave at that time, and the concubine's status is not good. Say... Her Royal Highness, will you be all right after you go back?"
Chunjia said: "Mother, the Empress Dowager went to comfort her for a long time, and there should be nothing wrong."
After saying this, he pondered for a while, and said, "I just had lunch with Wei Zhaorong, and I also went to Minghui's place to have a look, and happened to meet my mother, the empress dowager... The mother, the empress dowager, asked me about your place."
"What's wrong with my concubine?" Yun Fenghuang was alerted immediately, worried that it was the Empress Dowager Ji who would accuse him severely, "I didn't do anything! My brother was just a step behind in saluting! Your Majesty is so generous! , can’t we just let the mother, the empress, and the empress punish the concubine or the concubine’s brother for such a small matter?”
As he said that, he wrapped himself up, holding the emperor's arm and refusing to follow.
Chunjia let most of her body hang on his shoulders, and lazily snorted and said, "What are you in a hurry for? Mother, Empress Dowager just mentioned the Xie family's children, and brought the topic to the scholars who are now gathered in the imperial capital. on the body."
"Your Majesty, the empress dowager's heart can be punished!" Yun Fenghuang immediately slandered him, and said seriously, "Is it the empress dowager who is a concubine who can intervene in the national talent ceremony? Is this the empress dowager?" Do you mean Ji's temptation? Your Majesty must be aware of the details, and don't be fooled by the empress dowager!"
Chunjia reached out and pinched her cheek, and said, "It's okay for other people in the harem to say that, you?"
If you have a chance, not to mention the Talent Ceremony, you would even wish to have a hand in the affairs between countries such as Guochao and Weihe!
What if I don't know? !
"Your Majesty, why can't this concubine say such things?" However, Yun Fenghuang reminded him, "My father and brother have always told me that I must read and understand, so that I can be a good wife and mother. Otherwise, as a woman, I would have Living deep in the inner house, with poor knowledge, if you don’t even read a few books, you even want to be a husband and teach your children. Where did you get the ability? But the mother, the empress dowager’s father, Ye Guogong, strongly advocated that the harem should not be allowed to interfere in politics. !"
"The concubine said that the empress dowager's move was inappropriate. She meant that she disrespected her biological father, but it didn't mean anything else!"
Ye Guogong did this kind of thing that lifted a rock to shoot himself in the foot, can he still blame her for adding trouble?
Chunjia sighed: "You always have reasons to argue!"
He was used to it, and he didn't bother to argue at this moment, so he just said, "The empress dowager also said that the little servant in front of her happened to see some of your brothers walking on the palace road, and one of them was a year or two older than you. Alright, to compare Ji Minggan to the next level?"
Yun Fenghuang was taken aback when he heard the words: What does Empress Dowager Ji mean by this? !
