Chapter 190: Mrs. Chunke

The target of Yun Fenghuang's complaint was not Yuan Lianniang. In her opinion, Yuan Lianniang had long been defeated, and the more down-and-out she was, the more she couldn't ignore it—what if it aroused Chunjia's feelings of guilt and pity?

Empress Dowager Yuan's soft-heartedness is a clear example.

She is talking about Empress Ji and Empress Dowager Ji right now: "...I couldn't believe it when Sister Wei came to tell me, but Your Majesty also knows that Sister Wei has always been respectful and sensible. I won’t talk nonsense! Over the years, hasn’t the Ji family done enough in the imperial examinations? I’ve heard that the concubine is a boudoir, and I’ve heard of it. The water is empty!"

"At this moment, His Majesty finally took charge of the government and personally questioned Enke. However, the Ji family still did not give up. It was only in August that they began to inquire about the details of the candidates. Who knows what they will do after the end?"

"Even, before the opening, let those scholars who are loyal to His Majesty instead of facing them have some accidents, so they can't get out of the game at all?!"

Yun Fenghuang looked worried about the country and the people, and swayed Chunjia's sleeves, "Your Majesty, you must not ignore this matter and tell them to get involved in something they shouldn't and are not qualified to touch again. !"

This can't help her not caring, after all, she has a certain degree of confidence in her brother's talent and learning, and also has a certain degree of confidence in Cui Wan's attitude, but these can't stand it, if Xie Fu and the others can't even take the exam, what are they thinking? Lord? !

And brother Shangzhu is very important in Yunfenghuang's plan.

Whoever dares to stop her here is her sworn enemy!

So even though Wei Hengyan said that her natal family heard the news that the Ji family was looking for unmarried scholars with both talent and appearance, suspected of guessing Chunjia's intentions, knowing that he would not choose a son of a wealthy family as the princess' son-in-law, Wanting to choose a wishful husband for Princess Minghui within the range of Chunjia's favorite, it doesn't mean to start with the imperial examination... Yun Fenghuang doesn't care, anyway, let's talk about the serious ones first.

If the left and right emperors listened to it, it would not be her who was unlucky.

Sure enough, Chunjia's face was sinking like water. If you say that Yun Fenghuang's most concerned thing at present is to promote Xie's son-in-law, and then take advantage of the situation, from the daughter of a local gentry in the border area to the jewel in the palm of the upstart family. The most important thing to come down is that this time Enke, on the one hand, will take back the power of the talent ceremony; on the other hand, it will select a group of top-notch talents to make their wings full.

Whoever dares to stop him here is his sworn enemy!

"Don't worry, my concubine, I will definitely investigate this matter thoroughly!" Chunjia snorted, "And the empress, as the lord of the six palaces, is resting these days, and the palace affairs are all entrusted to you, but she still has leisure time in the palace. Playing with the wind and the rain... It seems that she is really sick and confused! In this case, the queen will continue to rest, and the palace affairs..."

Yun Fenghuang hurriedly said: "I'm fine, I can continue to share your majesty's worries!"

Thinking that Chunjia didn't seem to like her being able to carry everything by herself, she added, "I still have Your Majesty in my body, and I have a loving mother and empress dowager to shelter me from the wind and rain, and I feel frightened! If I am still taking care of myself at this moment If you don’t do anything, then, don’t you put all the pressure on your majesty and the empress dowager? Although I know that your majesty is wise and powerful, I will definitely be able to control the world and rejuvenate the country! But... I still I want to do something to repay His Majesty's love!"

"Every time my concubine speaks sweet words, I feel flustered." She felt that her determination was well expressed. Chunjia was silent for a while, but sighed, "Forget it, since your words are clear, it can be seen that even Ji is restless in wanting the Empress to go back to recuperate from her illness, so there should always be something truthful about it, I'd better have someone check it out later."

He also said, "As for the recovery of the empress today, don't think too much about it. I forgot to tell you yesterday: the queen mother has assassins out of the Xuanqing Palace, so I will not come here in the future. I think about it." You are frightened, if I don't come, I am afraid that you will arrange it again, so I will discuss with the Queen Mother and let the Queen come out for a few days, and when you recover, the palace affairs will still be up to you."

... You bastard emperor didn't say it earlier!

Yun Fenghuang said in his heart, causing Ben Gong to be suspicious all morning, almost thinking that he was about to fall out of favor.

She was slandering, but she said with a smile on her face: "Your Majesty, how can I arrange Your Majesty? Is this kind of person?"

Chunjia glanced sideways at her, smiled, and almost said "how can it be that you are not that kind of person" on her face.

"Your Majesty doesn't speak, so it can be seen that His Majesty doesn't believe that I am that kind of person." Yun Fenghuang nodded, and said seriously, "I know that Your Majesty understands me."

Before Chunjia could deny it, she slyly changed the topic, "By the way, Your Majesty, did any news come back from the people who were sent to the Northland at the Mid-Autumn Festival banquet earlier? I was worried. Since the Ji family has already taken action, Are you afraid you won’t make a fuss about this matter?”

After all, the Ji family did not dare to offend the emperor directly at this moment.

But they might not have the guts to intervene in the matter of whether Xie Fenghuan's love affair is involved - because this is something the regent also wants to do.

"The days are too short, it's only been a few days?" Chunjia looked at her amusedly, "I'm afraid no one has arrived in Beidi yet. If there is any news by then, I will let you know."

Yun Fenghuang said in his heart that it is no wonder that Ben Gong believes in you. Since you plan to choose Ben Gong's family affairs as the reason, I am afraid that your confidants have already sent them there. The Mid-Autumn Festival banquet made such a move, just to avoid being discovered by the regent later. It's hard to explain.

Maybe, at this moment, the people in Chunjia have already written their conclusions in notebooks and sent them back.

But Chunjia refused to admit it, refused to say it, and she couldn't help it. She was tired of the emperor acting coquettishly for a while, and the day passed.

Oh, in the evening, the news came out from Yanfu Palace that Empress Ji gave Yue Xiuyuan the title of Chunke to promote her to the throne.

...It is said that the queen conferred Chunyue at first, but the Huzhu Palace was noisy and noisy, and insisted on refusing to ask for the word "Yue". In desperation, Empress Ji sent someone to the Spring Palace to ask for instructions. Empress Dowager Yuan, who had already said not to intervene, sighed and changed it to the word "ke". Finally, Yuan Niangniang stopped making trouble this time.

So that's how the title was decided.

In the evening, while Chunjia went to the bathroom, Xie Hengyu said in a low voice: "No matter how much the word 'Yue' has been ridiculed by the Queen and the others, it was given by His Majesty. His Majesty is still on fire right now, and that one is in a hurry to ask for it." Putting it aside, His Majesty didn't say anything, he was afraid that he would dislike her even more... I really don't know how that stupid person managed to stay in the palace until now?"

Yun Fenghuang smiled and said: "What do you care about her? Isn't the Queen Mother still protecting her now?"

"That's right." Xie Hengyu thought for a while, "However, someone from Huzhu Palace reported that Yuan Yuniang had just gone to Ningbi Palace to congratulate our Mrs. Chunke, and the two sisters closed the door and whispered. For a long time, I don't know what to talk about."

Yun Fenghuang said: "Ms. Yuan Cistan has kept her composure, did she take any action until now?"

She had specially arranged someone to provoke Yuan Yuniang to come here, but Yuan Yuniang obediently waited and watched until now.

She curled her lips, "So procrastinating...I wanted to give her a hand at first, but since she's so unhappy, let her figure it out on her own. Tsk."

Xie Hengyu smiled and said: "If she has this ability, can she still live in obscurity until now? No matter how bad Mrs. Chunke is, she will always be taken care of by the queen mother. But she has nothing. The empress is kind and rewards her Opportunity, but I don't know how to seize it in time, and I should annihilate the palace in this life, silently and without breath."

Just as she was talking, Chunjia walked in, and happened to hear the last sentence, and asked casually, "What is silent and breathless?"

Xie Hengyu's complexion changed slightly, but Yun Fenghuang said indifferently: "As for Beauty Yuan, she had attracted quite a lot of attention when she was in the palace, but it's only been a few months, if she hadn't just gone to Ningbi Palace, weeping with Mrs. Chunke, and letting go of the past, I can't even remember that there is such a person in the palace."

"I knew you didn't have a peaceful day." Chunjia sat down with her every few days and waved his hands. Xie Hengyu and other waiters hurriedly retreated. , never to provoke you, and you won't let her go?"

Yun Fenghuang opened his eyes wide, with an innocent expression on his face: "Your Majesty, where did you say that? When did this concubine take care of Yuan Meiren? What happened to me when I mentioned it to you now? Why don't you support her? If the beauty finds out, she should thank my concubine!"

Chun Jia said, "Just mess around!"

But he didn't mean to be harsh, and instead started to talk about some gossip... The night passed without any disturbance.

At the Dendrobium Palace, although Yuan Niangniang became his wife, because she was still in confinement and was under the pressure of the Empress Dowager Yuan, she stayed on the couch to recuperate and did not show up. Yun Fenghuang followed Daliu to send some things over to congratulate her, only to hear that Yuan Yuniang and this elder sister moved more and more, and the relationship seemed to be getting better.

She even served the bed in person, serving tea and pouring water like a court lady, very attentive - it is not surprising that this concubine beauty is willing to serve Yuan Niangniang like this, the key is why Yuan Niangniang is willing to serve her?

On this point, many concubines in the palace who understood Yuan Lianniang's temperament were very curious, and even Wei Hengyan asked Yun Fenghuang in a roundabout way.

"Mrs. Zuo Chunke has been rejected by His Majesty, and Beauty Yuan has been drugged by her sister, so His Majesty can't think of her." Yun Fenghuang disagrees, "No matter how reconciled their sisters are, so what? The key is to be optimistic. The empress dowager's side. You are not allowed to mention this in front of the empress dowager!"

Wei Hengyan hurriedly said: "My sister, why don't you understand? These days, I go to the Spring Palace to pay her respects almost every day. Because of this, I know that the empress dowager cares for Mrs. Chunke as if she were a real daughter. Regardless of her past misdemeanors."

So, Yuan Niangniang changed her temper, how could she not take it seriously?

"Whatever she wants to do now, she has to go out of confinement first." Yun Fenghuang smiled and said meaningfully, "Besides, the empress dowager treats her as her own daughter, but there is no such thing as your majesty the empress dowager." The empress is here with her serious son? What are you and I afraid of?"

Chunjia is on their side, even the Queen Mother Yuan, it's not too much - who said they are not the biological mother and child?

Afterwards, as Yun Fenghuang said, the relationship between the Huzhu Palace sisters became more and more harmonious, but they still stayed at home, as if they planned to live a lifetime in the palace.

Not long after the Double Ninth Banquet, Yun Fenghuang specifically mentioned Yuan Cistanniang to Empress Dowager Yuan, saying that since the lord of the Zhuzhu Palace is still in confinement, it is not easy to attend, so why not let Yuan Cistanniang come out to join in the fun?

Anyway, on behalf of Mrs. Chunke, I took a face-to-face with Yuan's family members.

But she was also lightly rejected by Empress Dowager Yuan, saying that the female relatives of the Xingningbo Mansion had the opportunity to visit their concubines to reunite in the palace, and there was no need to make an exception for the Double Ninth Banquet.

Based on the lessons learned from the Mid-Autumn Festival last time, scholars were also invited to the Double Ninth Festival this time, and some scholars were also replaced. Everyone was mentally prepared for the unexpected again.

As a result, it was calm this time—to be precise, the banquet was peaceful. Afterwards, it was rumored that the emperor arranged the seats for the scholars near the emperor's seat, and there were rumors that several people came forward to answer the question, observe nearby, and choose the intention of choosing a son-in-law , It is self-evident, one can imagine, what kind of uproar will be caused among the candidates for the exam?

Even the number of scholars rushing to take the exam increased sharply: those who did not plan to leave this year due to various reasons, but heard that there was a chance to win the Lord, but those who felt that they had hope, or did not want to miss it, all tried their best to rush over.

In this way, Enke, whose competition would not be too fierce, has already reached the end of the year, but it is already full of swords!

At this time, Chunjia arrived at Xuanqing Palace that day, and said to Yunfenghuang: "The people from the Imperial City Division came back from the North and talked about the Xie family."
