Chapter 160 Looking for Osmanthus Trees in the Empty Mountains
Right now, he is still thinking about how to let his family brother Shangzhu's Yun Fenghuang, but he doesn't know the ambition of the servant.
Empress Ji personally supervised the return journey, and there was no major trouble along the way, but Zhao Chenggui had a tire gas before, even if he gave her concubine's carriage frame on the way, he still called the imperial doctor when he arrived in Miyagi. After some diagnosis and treatment, he began to recuperate on the couch.
Concubine Zheng Gui has already recovered to a good degree, and she has begun to care about Zhao Chenggui's child.
After all, the emperor now made it clear that he didn't really want the concubines when they were lucky enough to get married, and he didn't want these concubines to have children. Even the people in the palace of these concubines were clearly neglected.
In this case, the imperial concubine really can't afford to lose Zhao Chenggui's heirs.
Not long after the troops returned to the palace, it was the day when the concubines met with their family members.
The Jiang family went back some time ago, but the Xiao Chen family came to the imperial capital one after another, and now the sister-in-law followed the Xie family's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law to meet in the palace.
To Yun Fenghuang's surprise, Xiao Chen also brought her daughter here.
Six-year-old Xie Meng was wearing a pair of skirts with light pink inlaid with garnet red, a bright red fairy skirt, a golden jade lotus inlaid jewelry pendant collar, jade Linglong egret sash rings, and a pair of red gold lace lotus flower goldfish bell bracelets on his wrists. The volume of hair at this age still can't wear hairpins, so Xiao Chen combed her into a hanging bun with multicolored silk sash, and dotted a little cinnabar on her forehead. Only the cheeks are slightly plump, and the eyes are round, making her look even more cute.
Although I didn't see my aunt after three years, there was still some estrangement at first, but Yun Fenghuang hugged her and teased her for a while, and immediately became lively, pulling her sleeves and acting coquettishly, so clingy that adults It's hard for us to talk to Yun Fenghuang anymore.
"This monkey." Little Chen said helplessly, "Seeing the sky jumping up and down, I can't tell her to be quiet. It's fine now that she's still young. I'm really worried that she will grow up. How can this be good? "
"I heard from my grandmother that my aunt was more noisy than me when I was young!" Hearing that the others hadn't answered, Xie Meng said unconvincedly, "Isn't my aunt very good now? It will not be bullied!"
Xie's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law laughed when she said this, and Xie agreed: "Your grandmother is right, your aunt is very lucky."
"I will rely on your grandmother to love you!" Xiao Chen glared at her daughter, and said to Xie, "Auntie, don't speak for her anymore, you don't know, because among the girls in the family, she is the most like a concubine." , father, mother, and a group of brothers and sisters-in-law, even her father loves her the most, so she is not allowed to say a word... It is rare that I am here in the imperial capital, and my mother is not here, so I have to tell her some rules, Husband is about to put on a straight face, and you are protecting her now, I really don't know who will be able to control her in the future?"
Because of Yun Fenghuang's entry into the palace, Mrs. Xie always felt sorry for her brothers and sister-in-law's family, and she didn't dare to put on airs of elders to her nephew and daughter-in-law. Hearing this, she was a little embarrassing: "Is the child still young? When he grows up, he will be sensible. ...Of course, Menger still has to listen to your mother."
Xie Meng climbed onto the soft couch where Yun Fenghuang was sitting on silk shoes before, he was leaning against his aunt peeling oranges, when he heard this, he knelt up and put his arm around Yun Fenghuang's neck, coquettishly said: "I am No! I won’t listen to my mother! I will listen to my grandmother and my father, and I can do whatever I like! Auntie, are you right?”
Yun Fenghuang thought to himself that this niece is really similar to her when she was young, she has the same general appearance, and the usual temperament. The only difference is that at that time she coaxed her grandmother to support her, while Xie Meng coaxed her aunt to support her. Backing up, this is really a successor—she smiled and patted the back of Xie Meng's hand: "But your grandmother has returned to the Northland, and your father will end next year, so he must be very busy now! You are at home and don't listen to your mother." If your mother is sad, don't care about you, what should you do?"
"Then aunt, tell me about my mother!" Xie Meng smiled awkwardly beside his mother, shaking Yun Fenghuang and said, "Mother, don't let me go, but don't let me take too much... Those This rule is so troublesome!"
Yun Fenghuang said calmly: "No way! Your mother is my aunt's direct sister-in-law, and the elders and children are orderly. If your mother persuades aunt, aunt will listen, let alone let aunt talk about your mother? Moreover, aunt is now in the palace. There are so many rules in the palace. If you don’t learn them well, you won’t be able to enter the palace often, and you won’t be able to see your aunt. Don’t you miss your aunt? It’s so pitiful that your aunt is alone in the palace. I'm looking forward to seeing you! If Menger doesn't miss Auntie, Auntie will cry every day!"
"This..." Xie Meng frowned, his little face was full of tangles, "Then...then I'd better learn."
"Meng'er is the best!" Yun Fenghuang kissed her immediately, and said with a smile, "My Meng'er is so smart and sensible, he must be able to learn the rules quickly, and learn better than anyone else, right? "
Xie Meng raised his eyebrows, Gu Pan Shenghui said: "Of course!"
Her grandmother kept telling her that her aunt was the prettiest and smartest among Xie's brothers and sisters in her generation, and she was so like her aunt, she must also be the most beautiful and smartest in her generation - Xie Meng firmly believed in this, at this moment Naturally, he agreed.
Seeing this, the elders all smiled subtly. Seeing Yun Fenghuang coaxing the niece, and successfully tricking her out to play, Xiao Chen smiled and said: "Your Majesty still has a way to deal with her, my concubine It hurts to see her now."
"It's rare for Meng'er to see Bengong, so I'll give Bengong some extra face." Yun Fenghuang said with a smile, "Sister-in-law is by her side every day, she knows that sister-in-law loves her, so why don't you have to be bold? So does the mother."
After saying a few gossips, Yun Fenghuang took a look at Qingdu, and Qingdu found an excuse to invite Xie's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law to go out to the side hall to have a look at the clothes and jewelry that Yunfenghuang planned to reward them--the scene was cleared, the sister-in-law said Get down to business: "Mother, you have already done what you told me before, and now there are rumors and rumors at home. It's just that Chao Shi and Qi Shi are aware of it, and Qi Shi came to the door specially for the past few days Argued with the elders. Of course, the elders prevaricated."
When Xiao Chen said this, she frowned slightly, "However, after all, what happened back then was too much trouble, and many people are still watching the jokes at home."
Yun Fenghuang knew what she was worried about. Three years had passed, and the rumors of Xie Fenghuan's affair with Hong Xing had finally cooled down. Now that she brought it up again, one is not good. hit.
Not everyone in the clan would support her in doing this, Xiao Chen might be one of those who hesitated, after all she also has a daughter.
Even if Xie Meng is only six years old, as a mother, you always have to think long-term for your children.
"Don't pay attention to these people." Yun Fenghuang looked at her and whispered, "What do they know? The key is those few proofs, but they are all done?"
Xiao Chen said: "It's all done, but the fact is..."
Xie Fenghuan was really cheating on her back then, no matter it was calculated, or revenge after her husband's coldness and harshness, or there were other reasons, but the fact is that she was with other men behind her husband's back... It is irrefutable!
The Wang family did a great job. After catching the rape, a large group of people directly sent Xie Fenghuan back to the Xie family. They didn't even let them wear their clothes, and the crowds of onlookers were like a sea of people—in this case, even if they made a few Is it so easy to overturn the case with false evidence?
"Then it's my business." Yun Fenghuang smiled and didn't continue the topic with her, "Now the scholars in the imperial capital should be here, how about it? Are there any challenges? of?"
Mrs. Chen wanted to ask but didn't dare, so she collected her mind and said a few names: "My husband said, these are all talented and good-looking people who come here and are not married yet."
"Huh?" Yun Fenghuang pondered, "Be careful, what are the sources, but are there any bad deeds or inappropriate words?"
After Xiao Chen finished talking about the news she had inquired about, she hesitated for a while, and said in a low voice: "I heard a news two days ago, I don't know if it's true or not, and I don't know whether it should be true or not. Tell Madam..."
Yun Fenghuang said: "You and my sister-in-law, you also know what happened to my succession, the Xie family is my mother's family, why bother to treat others like this, just talk about it."
When she opened her mouth, she had already expected that it probably had something to do with Qi Jiulu.
Sure enough, Mrs. Chen said slowly: "I heard that Chao Jingyou is happy..."
"..." Yun Fenghuang was silent for a while, and said, "He... didn't he go to the Dingbei Army before, but Chao Jingyou was left in the Imperial Capital. How is this happy?"
Little Chen lowered her head and said in a low voice: "Your Majesty, it's hard to tell the rules in our place in the first three months. Now that it's spread out, it's probably..."
It's been three months already.
even longer.
Maybe, when Qi Jiulu entered the palace for a private meeting with Yun Fenghuang?
Yun Fenghuang pursed his lips, clenched the silk handkerchief tightly in his sleeves, but there was no emotion on his face, and said indifferently: "The Qi family is small, and the eldest son and wife are happy. It is a happy event. But the relationship between the two families is now If there is no harmony, I have no intention of congratulating you. Just pretend... you don't know."
"Your Majesty." Little Chen pursed her lips, "Do you want to..."
She made a sharp gesture.
Yun Fenghuang shook his head slightly: "That's all. Now I have nothing to do with him."
After a pause, "This is good for everyone."
Xiao Chen sighed: "Your Majesty has been wronged."
Yun Fenghuang didn't answer the question, but only asked how the brothers are doing in the imperial capital now? Are you used to it? Is there anything I need help with?
After talking about family affairs in this way, they were kept for lunch and given some things, and then sent them away.
...Chunjia counted the time and all the wives who visited the palace had already left. Then Shi Shiran arrived at the Huanhua Hall, and when he entered the door, he saw Yun Fenghuang sitting alone on the steps of the hall in a daze with his cheeks propped up. There is not a single waiter around.
Beside her is a tall osmanthus tree, this season is just right, a tree of golden osmanthus blooms brilliantly, falling all over the ground.
Yun Fenghuang didn't know how long he had been sitting here, crows and crows were dotted in his temple hair, and the silver clay powder ribbon primrose fairy dress spread on the stone steps was scattered everywhere.
It was dusk at the moment, and the setting sun dragged out the dying afterglow from the sky. After being intercepted by the roofs of the halls, there was only half of it left in front of the Huanhua Hall. The eyebrows and eyelashes seemed to be covered with gold powder, and they were extraordinarily beautiful and charming, but there was a heavy melancholy and sadness between the eyebrows.
Chunjia's footsteps paused, and just now she walked over unhurriedly, and asked gently, "What are you doing?"
