Chapter 198: I Am the Son of Heaven
"Your Majesty..." Yun Fenghuang subconsciously raised his head to look at Chunjia, the emperor's gaze was slightly lowered, and he was also looking at her, his brows were peaceful.
The two looked at each other for a moment, and Chunjia spoke first: "My concubine doesn't believe me?"
"I don't dare." Yun Fenghuang subconsciously said, "I just..."
Just as he was thinking about the words, the emperor said calmly, "Is that because my concubine doesn't admire me?"
"I don't dare." Yun Fenghuang hurriedly collected himself and continued to deny, "Your Majesty has a magnificent appearance and a noble character. It is a blessing to be able to serve His Majesty with this concubine's appearance! When I first met Your Majesty, my heart and eyes were full of you!"
After saying this, she felt a little regretful...
Well, I regret that I said it too quickly, too hastily, and too simply.
There should be a few pauses in the middle, adding a bit of a shy expression, the kind of hesitation, more sincere.
It also made the emperor feel more realistic.
Bengong was indeed a little too honest.
Yun Fenghuang reflected deeply, and must correct it next time.
Just as he was hesitating whether Chunjia would expose her own words in the next moment, the emperor smiled lightly and said: "Then let's say it like this, Aifei doesn't have to try to figure out what I mean in the future. I won't either. It's easy to doubt you. Let's have a good time."
"...Your Majesty." Yun Fenghuang opened his mouth, wanting to say yes, and then let the matter go like this, but after pondering for a moment, he finally raised his head and asked, "Your Majesty, I am bold, may I ask Your Majesty, why are you doing this?" Treat my concubine favorably?"
It is not surprising that Chunjia has some sincere love for her.
Just like what she said to Xie Hengyu and other attendants, the emperor is in the prime of his life, and he is not a man. Isn't it normal to like a young and beautiful concubine like her?
It's just that this kind of love, in Yun Fenghuang's view, can be replaced anytime and anywhere.
After all, with the dignity of the emperor, how could there be fewer beauties who are fat, swallows, and thin?
So these days, even though it was rumored in the previous dynasties and the harem, the real concubine was deeply favored by the emperor.
Yun Fenghuang himself didn't take it very seriously.
She has only been in the palace for a few months, and she hasn't lived in another year. If she can't win over the emperor's heart, what is she doing?
In Yunfenghuang's plan, taking advantage of the fact that the emperor is new to her now, has a high tolerance, and happens to be bored with the empress, he deliberately supports the poor concubine to suppress the Ji family, manages well in the harem by himself, and guides his natal brother, Shangzhu, to shine on the lintel .
In this way, the front and back palaces have a foundation, and after a few years, newcomers emerge one after another, and she has become an eyesore in Chunjia's eyes.
At that time, even if Chunjia didn't even bother to step on the threshold of the Xuanqing Palace, her glory and wealth would be indispensable anyway.
And if the emperor's heir under his hand is up to the challenge, it's not impossible to seek the position of queen mother.
As for feelings, she would not talk about feelings with the emperor.
One is that she can't trust the emperor; the other is that she will lose her head and make choices that are not in her own interests, which will ruin the avenue she arranged for herself.
Just like Xie Fenghuan back then, she was recognized as talented and gentle, although she was a concubine, her biological mother was deeply loved by her biological father, and her aunt treated her as if she was her own... just because she gave her heart wrongly, she ended in a tragic end.
Although Yun Fenghuang felt that he was unlikely to be as stupid as this sister, but before Xie Fenghuan met Wang Shizi, who would have thought that this girl would be so determined?
For the sake of safety, it is safer for her to intrigue honestly.
Yun Fenghuang felt that Chunjia might not be unable to guess her plan.
After all, she feels that she is not a good stubble, and this one is not a fuel-efficient lamp.
It was tacitly understood by everyone that now Chunjia still enjoys her youthful beauty, and she and her family are needed in the front court and harem...something must be done to her.
In the future, whoever can get his wish will depend on who is more skilled.
Yun Fenghuang was prepared to have the last laugh, and he didn't care about the fiasco of being inferior to others halfway.
She didn't expect that Chunjia would talk about feelings with her.
No, it can't be said that she didn't expect Chunjia to have true feelings for her at all—after all, Yun Fenghuang was always beautiful and intelligent, and she didn't think she couldn't handle a bamboo horse that Yuan Lianniang couldn't coax.
But she didn't expect it to be so soon.
In Yunfenghuang's vision, the best outcome is that she and Chunjia will use each other while intrigue, and after a long time, they will accumulate some affection.
So when she gets older, she won't be as good as she is now. Even though Chunjia has moved on, she still cares about the old relationship, and she is willing to feed and support her with good food and drink, and not allow newcomers to hinder her.
If the emperor's heir she cultivated is still successful, she is also willing to establish it as the East Palace, and let her follow the example of Queen Mother Yuan.
Oh no, it would be too much of a grievance for her to wait until the cheap son ascends the throne before the mother honors the world.
Yun Fenghuang feels that Empress Ji has already shown a clear loss of power, and it's not like she has no chance to succeed her.
But it's not a new year yet, does Chunjia actually want to be serious?
Shouldn't the emperor be such an impulsive person?
"I am the Son of Heaven." Chunjia seemed to know her intentions, glanced at her, and said softly, "I am willing to treat my concubine generously, so I will. Is there a reason?"
Yun Fenghuang: "..."
She's a little, sour.
That's right, this is the Son of Heaven, and he is the Son of Heaven who is already in charge. He will favor whoever he loves. What should he do to go against his will?
He likes Yunfenghuang, and knows that this concubine is suspicious and jealous, and always uses hypocrisy to deal with him, so he explained it clearly.
He doesn't want to live by looking at Yun Fenghuang's face, he is worried that Yun Fenghuang will abandon him when he becomes powerful in the future, and he is afraid that he will be replaced by newcomers after he gets old...Of course he can express his love and hatred without fear.
Seeing that Yun Fenghuang didn't speak immediately, Chunjia thought for a while, and then asked: "My concubine is ashamed of her appearance and thinks she is not worthy of me? It doesn't matter, I don't despise you."
Yun Fenghuang: "..."
She calmed down, and said with a smile on her face, "Your Majesty, I feel that even though I don't know what I am capable of, I stand out from the many sisters in the Sangong and Sixth Courts, and fall into His Majesty's eyes. But my concubine I believe that His Majesty knows clearly, since His Majesty is willing to treat this concubine generously, obviously there must be all kinds of merits in this concubine that I have not seen."
she!
Yun Feng Huang!
Successors are being planned,
In this world, how could there be a man she was not worthy of? !
"That's it?" Chunjia said lazily, "Since that's the case, it's settled like this... I just thought about it and decided to leave the matter to the queen. Be careful, if the queen doesn't Handle it well, or deliberately don’t handle it well, and don’t be caught off guard if word spreads.”
Yun Fenghuang said in his heart, compared to your sudden and frank confrontation, the fact that the imperial concubine personally exposed her private meeting with foreign men is not a big deal.
This is the real surprise.
As for the palace and concubines tearing each other up, it has long been a routine she is used to, and she has no fear at all.
"Your Majesty, this is a big matter, how can I let the Queen handle it?" She rested her chin on one hand, propped most of her body on the small table, and through the small table, she tugged at the corner of Chunjia's clothes and acted coquettishly, "Your Majesty is not unreasonable." You know, the empress hates the concubine so much, maybe she has a part in this matter!"
Chun Jia said: "It is precisely because the queen may have a share that she has to deal with it. After all, the empress dowager allowed you to enter the palace, even if the empress dowager didn't notice you at all at the time, the edict was issued by her old man. Can you take care of her old man's aftermath?"
In fact, it mainly depends on the attitude of the emperor.
If the emperor had no intention of defending Yunfenghuang, then the thing is that Yunfenghuang deceived the empress dowager, and the real crime deserves death. When the empress dowager said a few words of self-blame, the emperor said that she did not blame her, but the old man. Yun Fenghuang... the grandparents and grandchildren were considerate of each other, and it was over.
But now that Chunjia intends to ask Ji to come out to solve the problem, if Ji dares not to follow his will, he will investigate how the Empress Dowager added someone to him in the first place.
"Your Majesty, the noble concubine is slandering the concubine for no reason, so I can't let her go!" Yun Fenghuang nodded, and said, "Of course, your majesty is generous and the concubine is generous, so I don't care much about the concubine. If you don’t want to bother the second master, I’d like to invite the empress to come forward and teach the noble concubine some lessons, so that she will not always be so ignorant, and even though she’s old, she’s always making jokes for new concubines!”
She confessed her selfish revenge so honestly and confidently, it was not without testing whether Chunjia really had intentions for her.
Chunjia saw it, but didn't point it out, and said slightly: "What are you going to do?"
"At least we have to deprive the imperial concubine and put him in the cold palace!" Yun Fenghuang smiled at him with his chin in his hands, his smile was sweet and soft, with a kind of innocence like ignorance of the world, and he said crisply, "Well, the empress is sick these days So, the concubine is in charge of the palace affairs. But the concubine is only a concubine, not the fourth concubine. In this way, the first noble concubine is there. She didn't care about world affairs before, so it's fine. Looking at it now, she is also a restless person "Your Majesty, if she doesn't learn a lesson, how can she feel at ease after she dies? Don't you always think that if you do this, the imperial concubine will miss you? Will you call the imperial concubine embarrassment?" happiness?"
"That's too embarrassing for a concubine!"
Chunjia smiled and said: "I can tell, you want the imperial concubine to come down and let you go up."
Yun Fenghuang looked at him with a smile on his eyebrows: "Isn't it possible?"
"..." Chunjia thought carefully for a while, then shook her head and said, "I can't do it now."
Because since Yun Fenghuang was promoted to the concubine, he has mentioned several times in secret that he wants to be promoted to the fourth concubine again. After refusing now, he thought that Yun Fenghuang might not let it go-especially when he confided his heart and wanted to be with this concubine. Live a good life, the sincere kind, not the pure emperor and concubine, king and minister—maybe Yun Fenghuang will turn his face on the spot, suspecting that he was just entertaining her just now.
Just thinking about the wording of the explanation with some headaches, who knows that Yun Fenghuang thought for a while, but didn't make a fuss, just said "Oh", and said: "Then let the imperial concubine come down, will it work?"
"I'll tell the queen later." Chunjia heaved a sigh of relief, and just said that, Yun Fenghuang had already leaned over, kissed him on the cheek, and said with a smile: "I already know that your majesty likes me the most! "
She didn't know how many times she had said this sentence to the emperor, but perhaps because of this conversation today, the emperor listened to it very well, waited and waited, but seeing her continue to pester her, he couldn't help asking: "Love Isn't the concubine angry?"
Yun Fenghuang looked at him with a smile on his face: "Why should I be angry? Just like what Your Majesty said before, I didn't suffer any disadvantages when I was Baolin. Now that I am a concubine, even if I go up I became one of the four concubines, but the icing on the cake, life is not the same? So the concubine actually doesn't think much about being promoted to the fourth concubine."
"Before, I couldn't forget it all the time. It was nothing more than fear in my heart, and I always wanted to grasp something to be safe."
"Now that I know His Majesty's intentions, why bother?"
Seeing Chunjia suddenly turned her head to look at her, she seemed quite shocked, and the smile on her lips deepened, "Your Majesty, when I was young, I used to fight for favor with my sister-in-law by any means. Later, when I got older, I knew that the parents in the family were not worthy. After becoming a concubine, I don’t love my concubine anymore, and even many elders value the distinction between concubine and concubine, and feel pity for my concubine even more. Since then, I have never felt sorry for my concubine... Concubine is jealous, but not stupid !"
"The position of the four concubines and His Majesty's wishes are not at all a matter of priority, but it is not easy to compare them together."
"So don't worry, Your Majesty, I just mentioned it casually, so I don't care!"
Yun Fenghuang thought to himself, Ben Gong is so sensible, but if there is an opportunity, are you still embarrassed not to promote Ben Gong?
