Chapter 192: Exposing
Yun Fenghuang didn't express his thoughts, Xie Hengyu and other attendants were a little worried, not because she was afraid that she would be taken away by the noble concubine if she was not paying attention, but because she was a child of the family who watched the master grow up, it was too clear The fundamental reason why she is so generous and considerate: she doesn't have that sincere admiration for Chunjia.
Otherwise, referring to Xie Fenghuan back then, it was just a fight for mother's love, and she would have killed the concubine's sister.
If it weren't for Jiang's shrewdness and fairness, and changing the head of the house, Xie Fenghuan would have been taken care of before Yun Fenghuang was ten years old.
Not to mention the love between men and women, this kind of contest that can't be rubbed in the eyes?
If Yun Fenghuang really fell in love with Chunjia, not to mention that the concubine sent someone to say that Zhao Cairen was uncomfortable and took him away, even if Zhao Cairen would die immediately, Yun Fenghuang would not let him go.
"Your Majesty, this maid feels that His Majesty is actually caring more about you." Xie Hengyu was influenced by Jiang's family, and valued substantive benefits over illusory feelings. If Yun Fenghuang didn't show his sincerity to the emperor She can live a good life, and she doesn't really have any objections.
The problem is that Xie's lintel is too low, even if it is expected that Shangzhu will usher in a leap forward next year, not to mention that this matter has not yet been accomplished, even if it is done, it is not as good as compared to Tianjia.
Not to mention the shallow background, it is easy to go up and down, but it is not difficult, it still needs to be conscientious.
There is no way to support Yun Fenghuang.
Even for quite some time, he had to continue to rely on Yunfenghuang.
In this way, the emperor is not a fool.
Yun Fenghuang's hypocrisy towards him can be deceived for a short time, but after a long time, will she not be able to see it when she gets along day and night?
Coupled with the fact that the master did not accept life and death, Xie Hengyu and the Qing people looked at each other, their faces were not obvious, and their hearts were very heavy. At this moment, they tentatively said, "The servants heard that the assassin After the incident came out, the Empress Dowager wanted His Majesty not to come to our place, so as not to be unsafe! It was His Majesty who insisted on coming, so he stayed in Huanhua Palace all the time."
Yun Fenghuang said: "Can he not come? After thinking about this matter for a while, I know that the regent is angry at the changes in the Mid-Autumn Festival banquet and deliberately did it. It's fine for me to be a girl, and I will pester you later. Your Majesty would not be ashamed to change places and move out of Xuanqing Palace directly. But if Your Majesty does not come, it will be as if he was afraid of the King Regent's warning, and he will bargain with the King Regent later, how can he speak hard?"
Then he fell into deep thought, "The queen mother actually made such a suggestion, but she was a bit foolish. This is not the same as the mother's evaluation of her... Well, I understand, maybe it is because your majesty is too capable? In one fell swoop, the Ji family was suppressed, so that the empress dowager lived more comfortably and freely in the palace, no, she acted more freely?"
Just like those monarchs in the previous dynasty who were wise and powerful in the early stage, but then became confused later, this is the reason why the ancients said that they were born in sorrow and died in peace. In the midst of adversity, the crisis is always there, so it is inevitable to restrain your mind, like walking on thin ice, and dare not slacken the slightest slack; but after the crisis, everything is smooth sailing, and now you have to reveal your true colors.
In Yun Fenghuang's view, Empress Dowager Yuan felt that she could enjoy her old age in peace and stability.
It's no wonder that she began to feel sorry for Yuan Niangniang.
When people are old, they don't necessarily soften their hearts.
But when I get old, it's hard not to start to feel compassionate and look down on grievances and grievances.
She squinted her eyes and thought about whether there was anything that could be used... Xie Hengyu and the others had to interrupt her thoughts, and continued to say good things to Chunjia: "What you said makes sense, but your majesty has not He has no son, but the regent is the elder of the clan who claims to have almost become the emperor's younger brother. From the perspective of the servant girl, after all, His Majesty's golden body is more important. Avoid, in the final analysis, because the empress is here. With other people in the palace, His Majesty must put safety first."
"I'm young and beautiful, and I know how to figure out his thoughts." Yun Fenghuang smiled lightly, "It would be weird if he didn't like Ben Gong. However, things like emperor's favor are not particularly important. It’s important, sometimes it’s useful to say it’s not important. If you can fight for it, fight for it, but don’t put it in the first place, after all, you still have to have enough weight.”
If the Ji family is always in full swing, Empress Ji will not lose the dignity of the lord of the six palaces, even if she is as messy as Yuan Niangniang, or even worse than her—what can Chunjia do?
Shouldn't it be unconscionable to say that the queen is good, the queen is the queen, and the queen is croaking?
Concubine Zhen was very impressed by the situation in the harem when she first entered the palace. At that time, Empress Ji and Yuan Niangniang, who were not arrogant and enviable?
The former is dependent on his family background, and the Empress Dowager Yuan Chunjia did not dare to lose her edge. Except for the occasional questioning of the Empress Dowager Ji, the matter of the Six Palaces can be resolved with one word; The old man lived as naughty as five or six years old, but the emperor remained infatuated. How many idiots and resentful women have died with envy?
As a result, only half a year has passed, the empress lost power, Yuan Niangniang fell out of favor... With these two clear examples in front of her, Yun Fenghuang felt that if she could not learn the lesson and fell in love easily, then it would really end badly.
Although she framed, cursed the concubine, ran on the queen, fought for power, seized power... She did it all, but she felt that she was a good concubine.
She still wanted to die well.
So how can you play sincerely with Chunjia?
Let Chunjia think that she is sincere.
"...But Your Majesty is wise and mighty." Xie Hengyu felt very heavy. She admitted that her master was very smart and astute. Otherwise, how could she have risen so quickly when she had no one to rely on, and she also brought the Qi family? But her opponent at this moment is not those women who grew up in boudoir, but the emperor!
It's not that her ambition to grow up as the emperor destroys her family's prestige. Chunjia's skills are proved by her actual combat achievements in winning the opportunity to be in charge of the government under the pressure of many court giants.
Anyway, Xie Hengyu doesn't think that Yun Fenghuang can deceive Chunjia for a long time, "Madam, do you think that Wang's son used to deceive our Miss Six's sincerity with sweet words and insisted on marrying him, but Miss Six can't do it when she gets married. But after so many years, isn’t it just that he has come to his senses? It’s just that men and women are different, and it was too late for Miss Six to regret it, so she had no choice but to bite the bullet and live with him. However, His Majesty is not like that!”
Speaking of Xie Fenghuan, Yun Fenghuang was also a little lost in thought.
When this concubine fell in love with Wang's son, she was still very young. Although she was already engaged to Qi Jiulu, her relationship was not yet open. Therefore, it is difficult to understand the behavior of this concubine sister who wants to marry Wang's son after she dies.
It may also be because Xie Fenghuan was so determined to be Wang Xie's family, but in the end she ended up miserable and dragged down the two families. Yun Fenghuang always felt that women were too infatuated and too aggressive, and it was difficult to end well.
After entering the palace, he saw Yuan Lianniang's downfall with his own eyes.
The experience of these two people reminded her all the time, how uncertain is it to place her hope on a man's mind?
She has worked so hard to get to where she is today, and she doesn't want to ruin her life's fine clothes and food for the rest of her life because of a momentary distraction and fascination.
but……
It's really impossible to lie to Chunjia for a long time. Why can't the emperor be a foolish king who doesn't know the difference between beans and wheat?
Yun Fenghuang felt sorry.
While she was thinking about how to treat Chunjia better in the future, in the Yanlan Palace, Concubine Zheng was talking softly to the emperor: "...Your Majesty, Zhao Cairen is fine. She made a raft to invite His Majesty to come, but because she knew about a major matter related to the royal family's reputation, she dared not preside over it, so she wanted to report to His Majesty privately!"
Chunjia has a lot of heart for the concubine who entered the palace when she got married.
But Concubine Zheng Gui has always been dignified and docile, with a certain amount of advances and retreats. Although he doesn't have much affection for her, the specific performance is that he seldom comes over, but when he meets her face, it is not enough to say that he doesn't give her any face.
At this moment, he said softly: "My concubine, please tell me."
"Yes." Concubine Zheng is used to Chunjia and Qianzhuang—it's not that she wants to be dignified, but that Chunjia's attitude towards them from the beginning is polite, rusty and polite, and the Zheng family is not polite because of Zheng. Gu Fajia, Zheng Gu, because he is an eunuch, is not welcomed by scholars, so he takes the rules very seriously.
I'm afraid that people will say that he comes from a humble background and is not worthy of being a master.
Therefore, Zheng Guifei, the niece who was destined to be sent to the palace by default, was trained to be more cautious in her words and deeds than ordinary daughters of prominent families.
To Chunjia who never laughed at her, it was of course extra polite and courteous.
In this way, the relationship between her and the emperor has never been deep in the past ten years. It is the kind of acquaintance, who greets each other when they meet, and will not miss them if they don't meet.
Later, when she grew up a bit, the imperial concubine felt that something was wrong, and wanted to change it, but she couldn't.
The main emperor did not cooperate, and the newcomers came up again. Concubine Zheng Guifei has nothing to do now, so she can only continue to be dignified.
She replied dignifiedly, and said eloquently, "At the beginning of the year, I found out that I was pregnant. Not long after, she was still the real concubine of the palace concubine of Huzhu Palace. Her personal maid Xinqing disappeared mysteriously on the way back to Huzhu Palace with her. Not long after, the body appeared in the lotus pond where my concubine often went for a walk, and Xinqing's belongings appeared in Sister Cui's palace... Does your Majesty still remember this matter?"
Chunjia gave a "hmm", noncommittal: "Continue."
"Yes." Zheng Guifei lowered her eyes and said in a low voice, "I was quite frightened at the time..."
He paused at this point, and subconsciously tightened the veil, remembering that he was pregnant at the time, and such a big incident happened, not only did the emperor not rush to Yanlan Palace to comfort her immediately, His attitude is also very cold and perfunctory.
Not long ago, Yun Fenghuang was assassinated, and there was no danger. The emperor rushed there immediately, and despite the objections of the queen mother, he lived in Huanhua Palace for half a month before transferring to other people's place!
This disparity in treatment, no matter how you analyze and resolve it for yourself, is too heartbreaking.
In terms of appearance and city mansion, the noble concubine thinks that she is no worse than Yun Fenghuang.
Maybe the difference is that she entered the palace during the emperor's wedding, and she is Zheng Gu's niece?
Because she witnessed how much humiliation the emperor endured during the eight years of dormancy, because her uncle made the emperor feel like a light on his back?
Concubine Zheng was in a daze for a while, sighed secretly, and then returned to the subject, "To prevent similar things from happening, I asked people to thoroughly investigate Yanlan Palace, and even contacted my uncle to find the person behind the scenes."
Seeing that the emperor remained calm, she pursed her lips, "The concubine was most suspicious of... the empress."
"Then what?" Chunjia said slowly, "But did you find out what the queen did?"
"...the concubine didn't find out what the queen has, otherwise she would have said it long ago." Concubine Zheng whispered, "The concubine...but I found out by chance that the real concubine...has a private meeting with a foreign man!!!"
Chunjia didn't speak for a while.
After a while, he asked calmly, "Really? How did it go? Tell me carefully."
