Chapter 157 It's Impossible, Absolutely Not

Chapter 157 It's Impossible, Absolutely Impossible!

Under normal circumstances, older women, especially those with daughters who are at the age of marriage, praise other people's children for their well-being, and compare themselves to their own—this is mostly to test whether the other party is willing to marry.

But Yun Fenghuang didn't feel that Empress Dowager Ji had the idea of ​​recruiting Xie's children as her son-in-law.

She thought for a while, and then said: "Your Majesty, according to the status of the empress dowager, such a flattery, whether it is a concubine or a concubine's blood brother, you should not refuse. It's just that the Xie family is not a high-ranking family. A family that inherits the family. Your Majesty, please pardon me for such unfaithful, filial and unrighteous things that neither my concubine nor my blood brothers would dare to do."

Chunjia didn't understand the meaning of her words for a while, she was stunned, and then she heard Yun Fenghuang continue, "Furthermore, you are a small family and don't know the court rules, otherwise, during the daytime, the concubine will be the two younger brothers. How could he offend His Royal Highness Princess Minghui? Even if such a person enters the palace, how can he serve the empress dowager well?"

"..." The corner of Chunjia's mouth twitched, and he slapped the table abruptly, "Bastard! What are you thinking?!"

Yun Fenghuang was not surprised but happy, showing a relieved expression: "Isn't that what the empress mother and empress dowager mean?"

"How could the Empress Dowager want your brother to come into the palace to make noodles for her?!" Chunjia angrily pushed her away, "Take a step back, even if it is so, I will tell you about it. ? You don't put on a show here—how decent is it to make up the elders like this!"

Yun Fenghuang pouted and said: "But the mother, the empress, and the empress dowager are always reserved, and these people, my concubine, are dedicated to serving them, and it is rare to even have a smile on their faces. How could they suddenly praise my brother? I can't doubt that she is looking at him. A young man who fell in love with a concubine's brother? It's impossible, is it because the mother, the empress, and the empress dowager fell in love with the concubine's brother for someone else?"

The last sentence was almost a clear test, Chunjia snorted and said, "Maybe it's just a casual remark from the empress dowager?"

"Then it can be seen that my concubine's elder brother is really outstanding." Yun Fenghuang rolled his eyes, leaned on his shoulder and breathed out, "After all, the empress dowager's eyesight is useless, isn't it, Your Majesty?"

Chunjia glanced at her sideways, and said calmly, "Really?"

He was so noncommittal, and Yun Fenghuang couldn't tell what he was thinking, so he tried to act coquettishly and foolishly in different ways, but the emperor tried to avoid it, and finally changed the topic altogether, talking about returning to the palace: "...I'm about to leave soon, Now the empress is still ill, everyone is counting on you, you are young, you should deal with it well."

Speaking of this, Yun Fenghuang snorted lightly, and said: "Your Majesty, don't worry, the Empress embarrassing this concubine with the matter of being promoted failed, and she is waiting for her here. How dare you live up to His Majesty's trust?"

Of course, this is an attitude that must be expressed in front of the emperor. In fact, Yun Fenghuang was a little flustered about the arrangements for the return trip.

The others are fine, the key is the Empress Dowager Yuan and several pregnant concubines, the former is still sick, and the latter is uneven in the month, such as Yun Qingman is not able to bear the toss when it is not easy to bump.

In case there was a mistake on the road, if he did well, if it was the responsibility of the person in charge, Yun Fenghuang would inevitably be criticized.

Chunjia pointed at her indifferently at this moment: "What did you say? This matter should have been the empress's duty, and you just helped her take care of her illness. I heard that she Rineng got up, it's fine if I'm too busy with political affairs to visit, how can you, a concubine, neglect Zhonggong?"

I know in my heart whether you can do this matter, you should go to the queen as soon as possible - at least pull her together to make Ji's tricks, and dare not take the opportunity to make trouble - and even if I don't like the queen, I am standing for you, On the scene, you at least don't show disrespect to Zhong Gong!

Yun Fenghuang thought in his heart that the emperor really pretended to be true for a long time. He clearly hoped that the queen would not be able to recover from illness, but he still wanted to maintain his love and righteousness to everyone. He would only do it when others felt sorry for him. image.

He even started asking for her...

Cursing his lips, Yun Fenghuang said: "Yes, I will go to pay my respects to the empress when I am born tomorrow."

Before he could say anything, Chunjia had already stood up and began to undress.

The next day he got up early to go to Xingxintang to take care of things, while Yun Fenghuang didn't get up until mid-noon, dressed up and tidied up before leading the people, Shi Shiran went to Baoser Xiaozhu to ask to see the queen.

Empress Ji was playing the piano in the back hall to entertain herself, and she frowned slightly when she heard the report from the palace man. The sound of the piano, which was originally gurgling like a fine spring, changed into a different tone in an instant. Come on, see you."

The palace man bowed his knees and left, and soon came to report: "The real concubine said that she hadn't seen the empress for several days, and she missed her very much. Since the empress is tired at the moment, she can wait."

"Then let her wait." Empress Ji lowered her eyes and said, "Let someone serve the tea, so don't neglect."

Yun Fenghuang waited until it was time to light the lamps, when the maid came out to apologize and said that the queen's condition was still difficult to meet guests, and politely asked her to leave—after she left, the palace servants went in to report to Queen Ji, and the queen's face was not clouded at all. Feng Huang's face was happy, but he frowned slightly, and said: "The real concubine has always been spoiled and cunning, especially this time she is acting as the power of the palace, it is the intention of the loving mother, the empress dowager, and your majesty, if she really intends to come to see the palace, where did she come from?" Patience is exhausted until now, and you still leave without saying a word?"

The queen sighed, "I'm afraid this is for the empress dowager and Your Majesty, I'm afraid those two won't dislike me!"

"Niang Niang..." The left and right listened with tears, wanting to comfort them, but they didn't know what to say.

"My aunt is looking for a son-in-law for Minghui these days." Empress Ji was silent for a while, and then said slowly, "Although Kunze is younger than Minghui, she can still be seen. From tomorrow onwards, you will look for an opportunity to lure her here. Gong has a good talk with her."

The left and right were very surprised: "Your Majesty wants Princess Kunze?"

Everyone knows that the safest way to ensure the survival of the Ji family is to marry a princess.

As the heir, Chunjia couldn't treat Xiaozong's blood badly, at least not on the surface.

However, when Chunjia made it clear that he would personally decide the marriage of the three princesses, and that even the Empress Dowager Ji was not allowed to intervene, if he continued to seek the Ji family to be his son-in-law, that would be clearly against the emperor.

Then even if the marriage is indeed facilitated, I am afraid that there will be endless troubles.

But the golden branches and jade leaves in the palace are not limited to these three, there is also a Princess Kunze who is not a princess but has the real princess—although Chunjia has not been close to Minghui with this only sister all these years, but why? Said to be his blood relatives.

Moreover, Queen Mother Qu, the adoptive mother of Princess Kunze, is the emperor's biological mother.

Even though Empress Dowager Qu's relationship with the emperor was not as deep as that of Empress Dowager Yuan, but the grace of birth and nurturing was there. If Empress Dowager Qu wanted to speak for Princess Kunze, it was impossible for Chunjia to ignore her mother's feelings.

The problem is, Kunze Princess Tong Ji, Empress Ji, and Ji's children have never been familiar with each other. Except for the grand ceremony and banquet, they don't even meet face to face. After all, when the Ji family had the upper hand, they were not very polite to the emperor. Although they did not bully Kunze princess, they did not take special care of him anyway.

Because of the similar age, the relationship between Minghui and other three princesses and Princess Kunze is not bad, but I also know that it is impossible for the three princesses to introduce Ji's children to Princess Kunze in private, and to encourage Kunze. The princess's heart is sprouting or something.

After all, the relationship between Minghui and Jinyun, and Ji Minggan is still in the dark, too busy to take care of themselves, how can they think about dragging their cousin out of the game and adding competitors to themselves?

In this way, Empress Ji wants Princess Kunze to marry Ji's children... Left and right feel that this is completely impossible.

The queen lowered her eyes slightly, and said softly: "Just do what you want, don't talk too much."

"...Yes." They glanced at each other and answered in a low voice.

... Yun Fenghuang didn't know the queen's plan. After she returned to Lanzhou Yeyu Pavilion, she tidied up a little, and then heard a servant report that Chunjia had come.

Then I went out to ask for credit: "Today, I have been waiting for a whole day in Baoser Xiaozhu, but the empress has never summoned her. Seeing that it was getting dark, I was afraid of delaying the arrangement of the empress, so I had to come back...Your Majesty, Say, is my concubine good or not?"

"Just doing such a small thing, you have the nerve to praise yourself for being cute?" The emperor gave her a smile, "Just like a child."

Yun Fenghuang hugged his arm, and said cheerfully: "Thank you, Your Majesty, for praising my youth! I also feel that I can stay with Your Majesty for a long time!"

Chunjia suddenly suspected that she was turning a corner and laughing at her age again, and said with a smirk: "The real concubine is really young."

"Your Majesty is in the prime of life." Yun Fenghuang looked at him innocently, and said sweetly, "If the concubine is old now, wouldn't she be unable to serve His Majesty for a few years? How sad the concubine would be! Luckily Heaven is merciful, let this concubine meet His Majesty at the age of Ji, this is to live up to my youthful years!"

"If you don't tell the truth, you will only coax me." Chunjia scolded her with a smile, but her expression softened obviously, and said, "You are also stupid. Since the queen has never summoned you, it can be seen that you are either unwell or have something to do. Little Bosser Zhu and Lanzhou Yeyu Pavilion are not far away, so why don’t you come back first, let the queen see you there, come over and report to you, and then go over?”

Yun Fenghuang knew that he was coaxed to be happy, but he didn't say it directly, and expressed his dissatisfaction with the queen in return, as compensation.

"That can't be done. Originally, the empress's phoenix body is against the law. As a concubine, I should serve the sick." She rolled her eyes and said loudly, "The empress is kind. She didn't let the concubine serve the soup. How can the concubine return it?" Can you just leave? You should stay in Baoser Xiaozhu and listen to orders."

Chunjia laughed and said, "Aifei is really a virtuous and virtuous concubine."

He ordered Yanyin to fetch a hairpin from her private treasury to reward her.

His private treasury was inherited from Emperor Xiaozong. In Xiaozong's first dynasty, because of Emperor Shenzong's brilliance and martial arts, his legacy was quite rich. Xiaozong himself was not a extravagant person, and the state treasury and private treasury were relatively generous.

Although after the death of Emperor Xiaozong, due to the disagreement over the candidates for the new monarch, the harem of the former dynasty was quite busy for a while, and some things in the treasury were lost, but under the mutual checks and balances of all aspects, they generally survived.

Hairpin rings that can be collected by the king of a country are of course good.

Yan Yin went to fetch it quickly, Yun Fenghuang picked it up in front of the emperor, looked it over carefully, and then asked with a smile: "Your Majesty, this hairpin has the name of everything going well, but Your Majesty also hopes that the concubine will have a good fortune." Is everything going well?"

Chunjia took a sip of tea and smiled lightly: "How is it possible? This hairpin is a reward from you. If everything goes well, it is naturally mine."

If it was the other concubines, he would agree casually. Anyway, those people have a sense of propriety and dare not make excessive demands.

Oh, Yuan Niangniang dared.

However, in the eyes of the emperor, this green plum is also easy to coax, and she doesn't need to use her brain, and she can be perfunctory with a little back and forth.

But what about Yun Fenghuang, the emperor felt that it was better not to give her this chance, it was rare that the atmosphere was good tonight, why did he make himself unhappy?

So he said very simply, "I just think this hairpin is extraordinarily beautiful, so I'll give it to you. If you think it's not worthy of the name, then I will ask Yan Yin to change it?"

Yun Fenghuang's face was dark: "...No need, I like all the concubines Your Majesty gave me."

She gritted her teeth secretly, is it not worthy of the name?

This palace must live up to its name!

Your Royal Highness, the princess of the Gongxiang family, the brother of this palace, is still determined!
