Chapter 189 The Empress Recovers

Chunjia had a very hearty night, so excited that she forgot to tell Yun Fenghuang that she had to rest for a few days and that Empress Ji would happen to "recover".

So the next morning, Yun Fenghuang sent him away, dressed up, had breakfast, took the palace people and went straight to Yanfu Palace, thinking that it would be the same as before, waiting for the palace people inside Come out and explain that the queen is still "sick" and let them go directly to the Spring Palace, so that they can change places after saluting outside the palace gate - but now the gate of Yanfu Palace is wide open, obviously the queen is planning to accept an audience? ? ?

Yun Fenghuang was puzzled, got out of the chariot, walked in with the hands of the Qing people, and saw that there were already a lot of people sitting inside, just like the scene when Empress Ji never complained of illness.

Seeing Concubine Zhen come in, everyone had different expressions.

Although she did not dare to openly speak sarcastic and provocative words due to her usual means, but the exchange of glances between each other seemed to be a good show.

During these days, because Yun Fenghuang was presiding over the harem, she was the latest to come to greet her. Now she took her seat, and after a while, Empress Ji came out.

Xu said that because of her long illness, the empress dressed up extra grandly today.

Zhai Yifengguan, precious tins and pearl hairpins, Ji Lingzi were originally very beautiful, but now with heavy makeup and fine clothes, they are even more glamorous. The phoenix eyes swept across, with awe-inspiring aura, including Concubine Zheng, all the concubines did not dare to look directly at her, and all lowered their heads to avoid her gaze.

Yun Fenghuang was the only one, not only did not bow his head to show weakness, but instead smiled at her, which seemed to be affectionate and provocative.

"Everyone sit down." Empress Ji gave her an indifferent glance, but she didn't get angry, she just loosened her wide sleeves, gave everyone a help, and ordered.

Everyone returned to their seats, and the imperial concubine was the first to congratulate Empress Ji for her recovery: "I haven't seen you for a long time, but I finally recovered. Looking at it now, you are more energetic than before you got sick."

"I've always felt mentally weak this year. It's better now, and I don't know if it will be better in a few days?" Empress Ji is very clear about her situation. It is the need of the emperor and Queen Mother Yuan that she comes out to preside over the overall situation. Whenever they thought she was an eyesore, they had to make way for Yun Fenghuang.

So even though he was dressed luxuriously, he was not very interested. He answered the greetings from the imperial concubine and the others in a nonchalant manner, and then talked about the recent events in the palace.

There are only two things recently, the first is of course the birth of Yue Xiuyuan and the death of the eldest prince; the second is the assassination of Yun Fenghuang yesterday.

Empress Ji first expressed condolences to Yun Fenghuang.

The concubine and concubine are recognized as having quarrels, and the greetings and answers at this moment are also very formal: "Concubine Zhen was frightened yesterday, I thought you had to rest a few times before coming out, why did you come to pay your respects?"

"Thank you for your concern, Your Majesty arrived in time, and there is nothing serious about me. Besides, my mother has been ill for many days, and I can finally see things. I am happy in my body and mind, how can I not come?"

"The real concubine has a heart, but you still need to tidy up the confinement of the Xuanqing Palace. After all, His Majesty often goes there. It's fine if only you and Wei Zhaorong were present yesterday. What if His Majesty is there someday?"

"What the Empress said is very true. Your Majesty has already personally intervened in this matter. I believe that your Majesty will be talented, wise and martial. There will be no similar incidents in the Xuanqing Palace in the future."

"If that's the case, that's good." Empress Ji nodded, and ignored her, but mentioned Yuan Niangniang to the imperial concubine Yingfei and others, "It's really a pity for the eldest prince, after all, His Majesty has been married for almost ten years, and the palace has landed in the palace. But I only saw such a child. She survived... Everyone must be very sad. I heard that Yue Xiuyuan has been unable to get up for the past two days?"

Concubine Zheng said softly: "Exactly. Poor Jianer, that is her own flesh and blood born through hard work, how can I not feel sorry for her? Back then, the undesired child of my concubine had never even met face to face. Moreover, my heart hurts like a knife, and for several days, I couldn't eat or sleep, I just wished I could go with him..."

Tears flashed in her eyes as she spoke, and she almost burst into tears.

If it hadn't been for her promise that she would use her pregnancy to kill Concubine Shu, Yun Fenghuang would have believed that she felt the same pain of bereavement.

No matter what the queen and others thought in their hearts, they all sighed with Concubine Zheng on the face. The queen also said: "The concubine is still young, and she likes to serve your majesty. There may be a time when the fate of mother and child will continue in the future."

He also encouraged Concubine Ying, Wei Zhaorong and others to talk about Yun Fenghuang, saying, "Don't be sad, you are younger than the concubines and the others, and you are taking care of yourself, maybe there is hope? Besides, the concubine in your palace Mrs. Yigui is going to give birth in a few months, and the grace of giving birth is not as great as that of nurturing, and the emperor's heir in your palace will call you 'mother and concubine' after all."

Yun Fenghuang said yes with a face of approval, and immediately said: "Empress Empress, don't be impatient, although there is no child in the palace, any heirs born in this palace will be your children."

Concubines: "..."

This is too slap in the face.

If you wait to point to the queen's nose and say that you don't have a son and a half yourself, what right do you have to talk hard about the heirs of the palace.

Empress Ji held her breath very calmly, as if she hadn't heard, she returned to the main topic: "What I mean is that Yue Xiuyuan deserved to be promoted as a wife according to the rules. What do you think?"

view?

That's a lot.

Although there have been rumors in the palace recently that the emperor seems to have disliked Yuan Niangniang.

But as far as what Yuan Niangniang did before, to put it bluntly, not to mention that she is still working hard as her Xiuyuan in the Huzhu Palace, even if she is dead, many people will applaud her. I can't wait to arrange a few more sentences.

In the end, she had to be promoted...

Headed by Concubine Zheng, a group of people subconsciously looked at Yunfenghuang.

After all, everyone knows that Yuan Niangniang has Empress Dowager Yuan and Chunjia as her backers. Now Chunjia's backer may be gone, but Empress Dowager Yuan is still very partial to her niece. Under such circumstances, it is difficult not to be hated by the Queen Mother Yuan if she comes forward to object.

He could only hope that every time he confronted Yuan Niangniang, he would be able to return to Yunfenghuang who took advantage of it with his whole body.

But Yun Fenghuang sat still, drinking tea as if nothing had happened, similar to the queen just now, as if she didn't hear.

Anyway, when Yuan Niuniang was Concubine Yue and she was still Baolin, she had never suffered a disadvantage. Now, even if this old enemy is promoted to wife, she is still inferior to her. What is she afraid of?

The point is that Chunjia was indulging in tenderness yesterday, and forgot to tell her about the queen's "recovery from illness". She was a little uncertain about Empress Ji's recovery at the moment, and now the queen proposed to promote Yuan Niangniang, she How could it be rash to object?

If she didn't mention it, the imperial concubine and the others felt their hearts pounding more and more, wondering if this was what the Empress Dowager Yuan, the empress and the real concubine had agreed upon, but they were excluded and only now did they know?

So the hall was silent for a while, Empress Ji smiled slightly: "Then this matter is settled."

After that, I didn't say anything else, and went to the Spring Palace. The Empress Dowager Yuan of the Spring Palace saw the queen coming over, and said with a smile: "There are a lot of things in the womb these days, and the Ai family is worrying, but you are getting better, Ai The family thought they had heard good news.”

It was as if Empress Ji was so happy for her recovery, as if there had never been any grievances between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law.

Empress Ji exchanged a few words with her, and they were very happy. At the end, she mentioned the promotion of Yuan Niangniang.

The implication is that there is no objection, and it is impossible for her to object.

Chunjia already obviously disliked Yuan Niangniang, and the eldest prince was gone. At this time, Yuan Niangniang gave birth to the prince but there was no movement. It was hard not to be suspected and rejected. Even with her aunt taking care of her, I'm afraid life will be difficult in the future.

The most important thing is that the Empress Dowager Yuan has to consider not only Yuan Niangniang, but also Xingningbo Mansion—even if she asked Zhanliu to send a message to Yuan Yuniang, expressing that she no longer owes Yuan Shi anything. But after all, being a close relative of flesh and blood, she may not be able to live with it if she sees Uncle Xingning's mansion being bullied.

If she was the kind of cruel and unfeeling person, she wouldn't say that she would always soften her heart to Yuan Niangniang.

At this moment, thinking that Yuan Niang was promoted to be his wife, he asked Empress Ji, "But I don't know what the title is?"

Empress Ji said with a smile: "For this title, the Queen Mother and Your Majesty have to be the masters."

Empress Dowager Yuan pursed her lips, thought for a while, then shook her head and said, "The Ai family is getting old, so regardless of these matters, let the emperor decide."

She hoped that Chunjia could give her another face, at least choose a better title for Yuan Niang, so that people would know that even if the emperor is not as conniving and partial to the Huzhu Palace as before, he doesn't want anyone to target the Huzhu Palace.

But after a long while, Chun Jia heard the news and told Yan Yin directly: "You choose two for your mother to choose."

Yan Yin didn't dare: "Your Majesty, how can a servant have such virtue..."

"Then let the Queen decide." Chunjia felt that if the Empress Dowager Yuan hadn't said something like this, and other people dared to disturb him, he would definitely have a fit, "I'm very busy!"

Yan Yin had no choice but to send a message to the queen's palace.

However, not long after, the servants from Xuanqing Palace came over, saying that Concubine Zhen wanted to know whether the emperor would go to Huanhua Palace today, Chunjia estimated the government affairs at hand, and readily agreed to go there after noon.

The Empress Dowager Yuan soon found out about this, she was in a very complicated mood, and said to Zhanliu: "You said that the emperor is against the Xuanqing Palace..."

"Your Majesty, Concubine Zhen is young and beautiful, and she can speak well." Zhan Liu sighed, "Speaking of which, His Majesty likes it, and the servants are watching, and they all think she is quite interesting."

The most important thing is that this concubine is not only interesting, but she also has the ability to take charge of the Six Palaces and be a virtuous housewife to the emperor—then would the emperor want to go to the Xuanqing Palace?

Empress Dowager Yuan was silent for a while, then sighed: "That's all."

She really couldn't help her niece.

No matter how embarrassing Yun Fenghuang was favored, so what?

She can't force Chunjia to go to Huzhu Palace instead of Xuanqing Palace, not to mention that this move will inevitably hurt the relationship between mother and child, but now Chunjia is not like when she was a child, she can arrange it however she wants. arranged.

The child is older than the mother.

Empress Dowager Yuan pursed her lips, thought for a while, and said to herself: "It's not good for Niangniang to look like this... I still have to find some serious things for her to do."

Although the feelings towards Yunfenghuang are very complicated, the queen mother also knows that it is not a good thing to let her niece find revenge on this real concubine. Yunfenghuang had no support before, and she was able to mediate all parties to make Yuan Niangniang go from beginning to end. Didn't ask for benefits, let alone the emperor's heart is now in Xuanqing Palace?

Zhan Liu also wished Yuan Niangniang would calm down, so he suggested: "Why don't you let the Dendrobium Palace pray for the empress and Your Majesty?"

Anyway, the emperor probably won't go to the Huzhu Palace very much in the future, so it's better to let Yuan Niang think behind closed doors under the banner of praying for blessings. This will not only preserve the last bit of decency between her and the emperor, but also wash away the bad reputation of these years to a certain extent .

After a few years like this, maybe the emperor will remember the old relationship and be willing to give her some dignity, so that she can die well in the future?

As far as Yuan Niangniang's actions are concerned, being able to do this can be regarded as the merits of her ancestors.

When they were worrying about Yuan Niang's future, Yun Fenghuang was complaining in Huanhua Hall.
