Treacherous Living in the Imperial Harem

Chapter 203 Chunjia: I Am a Witty Emperor.

However, Chunjia happened to turn her head to look at Yunfenghuang—the emperor and concubine looked at each other for a moment, Chunjia said slowly, "Did you report to the queen about the palace affairs from now on?"

The palace servant who was still kneeling at the bottom was clearly startled, and immediately shook his head: "Return to Your Majesty, the servant girl came out in a hurry, there was no time..."

"Then go talk to the empress." Chunjia interrupted, and said in a casual tone, "the empress was not feeling well a few days ago, so the palace affairs are all done by the real concubine. It was an unintentional mistake that you found Xuanqing Palace, I don't agree with you It’s just that the queen has recovered a lot in the past two days, and she has already seen the matter personally. Why didn’t she go to Yanfu Palace for such a matter and come to Xuanqing Palace? Could it be that she deliberately provoked the relationship between the queen and the real concubine?”

The palace man's heart was beating like a drum, and he hurriedly bowed down and pleaded guilty: "Your Majesty, forgive me! This servant has no such intention!"

Chunjia's face was indifferent, and said: "It's the first offense, forget it this time, and let the Secretary of the Imperial City take you down next time."

The Department of the Imperial City supervises the world externally, but it is also responsible for controlling and punishing palace officials who violate the palace rules.

Of course, ordinary mistakes, from the lords of the palaces to the stewards at all levels, were punished casually.

If it is really handed over to them, they must either commit a terrible mistake, or offend the master or the big manager. They don't want them to survive and they don't want to dirty their hands.

Therefore, none of the palace servants who passed by the Imperial City Division had a comprehensive plan—for a young court lady, one can imagine the deterrence of this punishment!

Originally, I wanted to say some good things, so how dare I say anything now?

Backed away whimpering.

"Your Majesty is really narrow." The man left, and the atmosphere in the room suddenly relaxed. Yun Fenghuang swiped the tea soup in front of him, and said with a half-smile, "But a little maid running errands is worth carrying out of the Imperial City Secretary." Come to frighten her... It's so pitiful to see her pale face when she goes out."

Chunjia gave her a squinting look, and didn't bother to talk about her jealousy, so she said: "Just now I sent someone to deliver a message to Duke Yi, and he explained that let his wife and daughter-in-law enter the palace to thank you, and you want to see them." Is it?"

Yun Fenghuang said nonchalantly: "My concubine and Sister Concubine Shu are in the same relationship as direct sisters, and it's not for the gratitude of anyone to name her the emperor's heir! Let's talk about it at that time, and it's okay to meet up if you have time. It’s okay if you don’t have time.”

She said it calmly, but what she was thinking in her heart was that if Duke Yi's mansion really dared to admit this favor without expressing it, then don't blame her for being rude!

Concubine Zhen has a lot of ways to deal with such shameless people!

"Forget it, then let them go to mother's house and Shun Jieyu's place first, and then ask your side whether you accept the greeting or not." Chunjia said so, and Yan Yin beside him hurriedly wrote it down.

After talking about some scattered gossips, the palace people set up dinner, and the imperial concubine moved to the flower hall to eat.

Afterwards, she cleaned up and settled down, after some tenderness, they embraced each other and fell asleep. Yun Fenghuang was planning what to do when she saw Han's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law tomorrow, when she suddenly thought of something, she couldn't help but glance sideways at Chunjia——Chunjia's current situation He closed his eyes, but felt her gaze, so he opened his eyes and asked, "What's wrong?"

"Your Majesty, do you like Sister Concubine Shu?" Yun Fenghuang turned over, broke out of his arms a little, lay prone on the couch, rested his cheeks on his hands, and asked with a smile.

When she did this, her head was covered with black hair, her shoulders were half exposed in her loose long hair, her arms were white and her wrists were bright, black and white became more distinct, and her luster was self-generated.

Chunjia admired it for a while, and then said slowly: "If you don't mention the past, why bring up the old score again?"

"Where is Your Majesty thinking?" Yun Fenghuang smiled and pushed him, basically uselessly, poked his head over, and said in a low voice, "I'm just a strange concubine, Your Majesty doesn't seem to like Shun Jieyu very much? That's Sister Concubine Shu's biological sister... Speaking of which, Sister Concubine Shu doesn't think much of concubine status, but she is not bad to Shun Jieyu."

When Concubine Zhenxi Shu was still there, the emperor didn't like the beautiful and gentle Yun Qingman very much, and Yun Fenghuang didn't think it was strange.

After all, although Concubine Shu is not as young as her concubine sister, she has been in the palace for ten years, and her relationship with the emperor is not comparable to that of Yun Qingman, who has just arrived. Even if the emperor wants to give face to Duke Yi, it is only natural that he pays more attention to the daughter of the first son.

However, it has been a few months since Yun Shuangyu passed away, and neither Chunjia nor Empress Dowager Yuan showed much favor to Yun Qingman.

Even if Chunjia doesn't like Yun Qingman, in order to reward Yi Guogong's loyalty, he shouldn't be too indifferent to the only remaining concubine daughter of the family, right?

But Yun Qingman's Shun Jieyu was still sealed by Yun Fenghuang.

Otherwise, God knows when he will be able to enter the imperial concubine position?

"...I can't say whether I like it or not." Chunjia pondered for a while, and said, "Of the two daughters of Lord Yi, I value Concubine Shu more, after all, she has served me all these years. And Shu Concubine, father and daughter, have always been respectful and loyal, and I always have to reciprocate, otherwise, wouldn’t it be chilling? Therefore, when Concubine Shu was here, I treated Shun Jieyu just as usual. Otherwise, when the concubine entered the palace, I would have neglected Shu Concubine, it seems too cold and thin."

As for Concubine Shu's departure, he was not very enthusiastic towards Yun Qingman, and even intentionally or unintentionally, he was indifferent and distant.

Chunjia sighed, looked at Yun Fenghuang, and said in a helpless tone, "That is Concubine Shu's sister, Duke Yi's daughter. Even if I don't have much sincerity towards her, I still don't want to harm her."

Yun Fenghuang nodded suddenly, the co-author was that Yun Qingman was raised by the Han family too innocently. When Concubine Shu was around, even if she wanted to take advantage of this concubine, she would defend her anyway.

Concubine Shu is gone, and although Yun Fenghuang also served as the host for Yun Qingman for a while, the two of them were at odds with each other, and they would not protect Yun Qingman sincerely at all... The emperor is not free either, um No, to put it bluntly, the emperor didn't have deep feelings for Yun Qingman, and he was too lazy to take care of her, so he simply calmed down.

In this way, although Yun Qingman's situation will not be too good, she is still safer.

After all, although the harem is full of dangers, a concubine with a good background who is not favored or offended will not be targeted much.

"Then it's my concubine's fault." Yun Fenghuang thought about it, and said with a smile, "If I had known that Your Majesty cared about Shun Jieyu, I wouldn't have sent her out, and stayed by my side to take care of her!"

Chun Jia said: "Do you want to keep Shun Jieyu or Shun Jieyu's heir?"

Without waiting for Yun Fenghuang to reply, he added, "Although Duke Yi also favors concubine daughters over concubine daughters, Shun Jieyu's heirs are also his grandsons after all, so don't mess with this matter."

"Your Majesty said it as if the concubine would be detrimental to the emperor's heir. With the conscience of heaven and earth, the concubine has never had such vicious thoughts!" Yun Fenghuang said aggrievedly, "The concubine just wants to share the worries of your majesty!"

Chunjia laughed, he knew Yun Fenghuang's temperament very well, he didn't know that the real concubine had never attacked the emperor's heir so far, no, it should be said that she had never directly attacked.

But it's not that the real concubine is kindhearted, it's just that she is cautious and afraid of getting caught - she really hopes that the heirs outside the Xuanqing Palace will have no good end, and it's best not to conceive at all, if it's impossible, they won't be able to conceive, Don't grow up even after you're born, and don't grow up to be useful when you grow up, that kind of thing.

If there is a change of emperor, I am afraid that she will be angry a long time ago, but Chunjia herself doesn't care much about these biological flesh and blood. With hair on the temples, he said: "Mrs. Yiguo will probably ask you to raise the emperor's heir under the name of Concubine Shu. If so, you can find a reason to push it away. You will also be a concubine mother in a few days, all of a sudden." Where can I take care of two heirs?"

Yun Fenghuang thought to himself, this servant who is full of palaces, if you say two heirs, it means twenty heirs, the fault is not because everyone is weak and sick, why can't they take care of them?

But she herself didn't want to take this job, so she nodded and agreed: "I will obey His Majesty."

"Good boy." Chunjia rubbed her long hair, thought for a while, and explained the reason to her, "Firstly, Mrs. Zhao's baby is not stable, even if it is born, I don't know what's going on. I'm afraid it's a lot of work, you will be a mother and concubine and deal with palace affairs in the future, so you may not have time to take care of such an heir; secondly, Xiao Ji's family will follow the empress dowager, and the mother and child will probably be safe. The middle palace raised his heir... It would be quite troublesome for me to refuse, so I might as well find a good reason from now on."

According to his thinking, it is best for Zhao Caisheng to give birth to a child who is not very healthy and needs a lot of effort to take care of.

With Empress Ji being entangled in this way, it is convenient for Yun Fenghuang to seize power, and on the grounds that the empress can't get rid of her body to raise an heir, she can refuse the empress dowager's possible request to adopt an heir in the middle palace.

After all, Ji Lingzi's Queen's Seal will be removed sooner or later, but even if Chunjia doesn't like her children, it is impossible to kill them together.

The children raised under the name of the main palace have a special status, and if they are not sure in the future, they will leave hidden dangers.

It's better not to let the so-called Zhonggong Dizi appear from the beginning.

Yun Fenghuang said with a smile: "Your Majesty is still considerate, unlike a concubine who is pure in nature, just thinking about embarrassing the empress."

Chunjia pinched her cheeks without laughing: "It's late at night, go to sleep."

This concubine is always so shameless, he is numb.

Yun Fenghuang leaned over, rubbed his cheek against his face, then turned over and lay back in his arms.

...The next day when the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law of the Han family entered the palace, they first went to the Spring Palace to greet the Queen Mother Yuan, and expressed their gratitude tearfully. After talking for a while, I just sent someone to Xuanqing Palace to ask if it would be convenient for them to come and visit?

After getting permission, the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law walked into the Huanhua Hall nervously.

"My lady, my wife thank you for your kindness!" They put on a very low posture this time, kneeling down to thank you as soon as they entered the door. I sat a little on the edge of the embroidered stool.

This cautious attitude is even worse than Yun Fenghuang's first visit with Mrs. Xie to Duke Yi's mansion.

Yun Fenghuang looked down condescendingly, but there was no fluctuation on his face, he just cut straight to the point and said: "It is my proposal to record the emperor's heir under Concubine Shu's name, and my purpose is not to want any heirs under the name of Zhonggong, are you willing?" Whether you want to or not, I don't care."

"What are you talking about? Your wife's daughter, Fu Bo, went away at a young age. There is no son and a half daughter behind her. If there is no grace from His Majesty in the future, I don't know..." The emperor's spring and autumn are in full bloom, and the Han family dare not Said that after his death, he gave the buried emperor's mausoleum to enjoy the sacrifices of the descendants, vaguely passed it, and continued, "If it weren't for the help of the empress, the minister would not dare to think about such a thing! The minister was confused before, I'm sorry, the empress, From now on, I am willing to do the work of a dog and a horse for my empress!"

At this moment, the Han family is really grateful to Yun Fenghuang, and she also knows that Yun Fenghuang did not do this purely for the sake of Concubine Shu, but for the sake of Duke Yi, but to take advantage of the trend and target the queen.

But for Concubine Shu and those who care about Concubine Shu, it has indeed benefited.

At such a time, he pays attention to the affairs of the afterlife. The first thing the emperor does when he ascends the throne is to build the emperor's mausoleum for himself. People in the market, if they have no children, they are trying to find an heir - Concubine Shu's status in the palace is not low, but she has nothing to do under her knees, she died so early, and the imperial tomb has not been built Well, there is no way to talk about the burial at all, so I can only choose a place for burial outside the imperial mausoleum.

In this way, Duke Yi and his wife could still take care of them during the two years they were alive.

In the future, if Guo Chunjia didn't think of moving her coffin to be buried with the emperor's mausoleum before she died, then no one would sacrifice and clean it.

It's not that the Han family never thought about adopting a son and a half daughter for their daughter, but Chunjia has not had a standing heir so far, and the living dignitaries are still eyeing, let alone the late concubine Shu?

In the end, she thought it was an impossible ambition, but she taught Yun Fenghuang to realize it for her.

Even if she knew that her daughter's death had something to do with Yun Fenghuang, Han's gratitude at this moment was half-hearted.

He even really regretted that he shouldn't have calculated this real concubine like that at the beginning - she also looked annoyed and fearful when she came with her daughter-in-law last time, but in fact, she still hated more in her heart.

At that time, she only regretted that her methods were not ruthless enough and gave Yun Fenghuang a chance to come back.

But she doesn't regret treating Yun Fenghuang like that at all. In her opinion, Yun Fenghuang's status is humble and she takes the initiative to rely on the Duke's mansion, so it is only natural for the Duke's mansion to arrange her.

At this moment, the remorse rose, and Han felt more and more sad, but he didn't dare to show it, and only sincerely expressed his gratitude over and over again.

In the end, he really asked euphemistically, could Yun Fenghuang raise the heir himself instead of handing it over to the queen?

After all, the relationship between the Queen and Concubine Shu is not very good, so they may not take good care of the child.

"You are wrong about this." Yun Fenghuang shook his head when he heard the words, and said, "The queen has nothing to do, and she finally got the emperor's heir under her knees. How could she treat him badly? Besides, if this child is recorded in the queen's name, the queen may not Be willing to put your heart into it, after all, the little Ji family is also happy, and the child Ji family must find a way to be recorded as the heir of the middle palace, but how can Zhao Cairen's child take up such a title?"

"But it is recorded in the name of Concubine Shu, how can the queen not take good care of it? Don't talk about other things, just talk about the current situation of the Ji family, dare not leave a way for yourself? Sister Concubine Shu's child, that is Yiguo The Duke's grandson. When the time comes, His Majesty will not look at other things, but only look at the face of the Duke's Mansion, and he must be merciful!"

"So it's best for the child to be raised by the queen."

Of course, this was an impromptu excuse for not taking over. The Han family's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law also saw it, but it was just Yun Fenghuang's high-sounding appearance, and they were not easy to force them.

When they were leaving, Yun Fenghuang asked Xie Hengyu to see them off, and said with a smile: "My mother is very busy recently, and she is too busy! After all, Xie's young masters are about to end, and the mother is worried about them. If they are not good at learning, they will lose their reputation to Sun Shan, and I am afraid that after they become officials, no one in the court will be good at doing things... No, I am so worried that even the Yigui people will ask less questions, and I really have no time to raise Zhao Cairen's heirs."

"Of course, after all, it is under the name of Concubine Shu. The empress always takes care of her a little more than other heirs of the emperor. Please don't worry about this, madam and son-in-law!"

How can Han Shi rest assured?

Isn't this telling her clearly that if Yun Fenghuang wants to take care of the imperial heir under the name of Concubine Shu, he must first pave the way for Xie's children?
