Chapter One On the Self-Cultivation of a Little Padded Jacket

In the early spring of the seventh year of Chunjia, the Empress Dowager was worried that the emperor's knees would be empty, so she ordered a minister to select sons from good families, and hired noble women to enrich the palace, thinking that the emperor would continue to have children.

Yunzhao, Duke of Yi, who holds the military power and worships the general, and the eldest daughter of the descendants of the descendants has been concubine Shu as early as today when she was married. She has presided over the Tongxia Palace so far. Those who have not yet reached the point of proposing relatives have already crossed the threshold. It was the near-water towers that got the moon first, and the wind came out, and the Duke Yi's mansion received the notice that the middle official was about to come to the door to announce the decree.

Although it was expected, the Yun clan still came to the door to congratulate each other, in order to bond with the fellowship.

"Nianxuan, the red sandalwood box on the dressing table is a gift I prepared for Qingman. You take it to your aunt in the back hall and tell her that I suddenly have a headache when I wake up today, so I have to lie down." In the morning, Xie Fenghuang With long raven-colored hair, leaning against the azurite twigs and peonies as a pillow, lazily told the servant girl, "I won't go to the Duke's Mansion with them."

He also said, "Tell my aunt, I'm fine, please don't invite a doctor - the Duke's Mansion is doing something good, don't make trouble for him, we are just a small alley away from the Duke's Mansion!"

"The servant girl knows." Nian Xuan asked with a sigh, "but aren't you going to the Duke's mansion this time? The servant girl knows that you are taboo about not having your surname Yun, so it is not appropriate to go to the family banquet at the Duke's mansion. Miss Fourth is the only one under the father-in-law who is suitable to enter the palace, you and Miss Fourth are on good terms, if you don't go now, I'm afraid you won't have the chance to meet Miss Fourth in the future!"

Xie Fenghuang waved his hand: "Do you think I haven't inquired about the rules of courtesy? It's not like I will enter the palace immediately after receiving Yi's decree. After today's excitement is over, I will go say goodbye to her. At that time, no one else will be around." , it's easier for us to talk."

Even so, she was still very sad.

Three years ago, due to changes in Xie's family, she was brought up in the imperial capital by her aunt Xie in a hurry, because Xie's husband, Yun Ju, was the cousin of Lord Yi, and the ancestral house was next to the Duke's mansion. There are frequent contacts, the fourth lady of the Duke's Mansion Yun Qingman and Xie Fenghuang seem to be similar in age and temperament, and quickly become close friends in the boudoir, it is not an exaggeration to say that they are like sisters.

Last year, when the two of them talked and joked in private, they still fantasized about the future when they would each marry and have children. Who knew that Yun Qingman would enter the palace in a blink of an eye, and they didn't know if this sister's departure would be a blessing or a curse?

Xie Fenghuang thought of the ups and downs of those concubines in the previous dynasty, as well as the points made by the concubine elder sister before her death, and felt even more sad, so she could only comfort herself: "At any rate, the status of Duke Yi is the same, and Qingman's sister-in-law Concubine Yun Shu is The old man who entered the palace when the emperor was married, has nothing to worry about under the protection of these two."

She was tossing and turning here, and Shi Shiran didn't get up until almost noon.

In the end, Nian Xuan was asked to do a tassel bun, and suddenly there was a sound of chaotic footsteps outside!

The master and servant were surprised that the entire Yun Mansion, except for them and their servants, went to the Duke's Mansion to congratulate and eat wine. Who is so bold to dare to trespass in the backyard, and saw Xie's hair on his temples in a hurry, alone in a gust of wind rushed in, went straight to Xie Fenghuang, hugged her and cried loudly: "Poor my son!"

Xie Fenghuang: "???"

"Your uncle, that damned old thief!" Xie snotted and burst into tears, beating his chest and stamping his feet, "A man whose body is buried in the ground, how could he still do such a thing?! If it weren't for this old man The thief hid, I must tear him apart!!!"

Although my aunt hasn't explained what exactly happened, Xie Fenghuang, who has rich experience in caring little cotton padded jackets, feels that he already understands it. It's safe to say that Yunju's old cow eats tender grass, and the backyard is going to catch fire!

She quickly persuaded: "Auntie, calm down. Uncle has always respected you. There must be a reason for doing this kind of thing. Maybe it's just because of sympathy?"

"He also told me just now that he was confused for a while, but can such a big matter be covered by a single sentence of stupidity?!" Mrs. Xie refused to let go, and gritted her teeth, "How will he explain to your parents in the future! !!"

Xie Fenghuang secretly wiped off his cold sweat, and said to Auntie, please wake up, not to mention that my parents are thousands of miles away, I'm afraid they are too far away, even if they come to the imperial capital, in this world, there is no way to control my brother-in-law. Concubine!

But she also found it strange that although her uncle's five sons and three daughters were all descendants of the Xie family, there were still two aunts in the room, and they would spend the night there every now and then. Never seen Xie's reaction so excited before?

Could it be that this time the concubine is as beautiful as a flower and the person who came here is not kind, so that a married wife like Xie who already has children and grandchildren feels more pressure?

Xie Fenghuang euphemistically reminded her aunt: "The matter has come to this, instead of letting go with uncle, why not think about what to do in the future? Anyway, you are the hostess of this family. Based on her background, after entering the door, you will still Can I set rules for you?"

You are crying and shouting and spreading the word, according to today's common concept, it must be because you are not virtuous!

It's better to be magnanimous and let people in. If the concubine dares to be restless when she turns around, how can she not understand after so many years of training by servants? In the back house, it's nothing new to be disabled, disabled, out of favor, violently killed... My life is short-lived, so what does it have to do with you, the mistress!

"What her?" Xie Fenghuang thought that his persuasion was well-founded, and his aunt Xie was not at an age of ignorance, so she would definitely listen to it!

The fact is also the same, Xie calmed down a little when he heard the words, but asked in doubt, "I'm talking about you, what are you thinking?"

Xie Fenghuang was stunned: "Me?"

"Yes!" Xie choked up, "Your uncle, that bastard! A few days ago, I was drunk and showed off to Duke Yi that you were both talented and smart, but after asking about it with the female relatives who had seen you , delivered a letter to Concubine Yun Shu in the palace, no, today at the Duke’s mansion, Yizhi added you to the palace, and changed your surname to Yun, and listed it under our name, Yiyun Entering the palace as Baolin as a noble daughter... Poor your father, who has only two daughters in total. Your concubine sister is already like that. He thought that if he brought you to the imperial capital, even if he was far away from his homeland, he would at least have a safe and smooth life. Who knew... I don't know..."

Before she finished speaking, she began to cry again.

Xie Fenghuang's face was like a bolt from the blue: "There is already Concubine Shu in the palace, and this time I have hired Qingman, why did Duke Yi ask me to change my surname to enter the palace?!"

Although she has never met Concubine Yun Shu, Yun Qing's appearance is definitely not bad, okay?

There is no such thing as not being able to help Concubine Yun Shu after entering the palace!

"Isn't it for the emperor's heir?" Xie cried and said, "Your Majesty has practiced Zuo for 15 years. It has been eight years. Although the concubine has passed the news of pregnancy several times, there is no emperor's heir, let alone a grown-up! Concubine Shu enters the palace. In the past eight years, I have been favored many times, but I have never achieved anything. It is likely that there is no hope. Although Qingman is beautiful, she is her sister from the same father. Who knows if she will follow in the footsteps of Concubine Shu? And you are my dear Niece, there are a group of brothers in the family, how can Duke Yi not be tempted?"

Having an aunt who gave birth to five sons and three daughters, and a girl who gave birth to four sons and a daughter to her mother, the fate of offspring is sure to be rich!

There is nothing wrong with Yi Guogong's logic - Xie Fenghuang pressed his chest, resisting the urge to vomit blood, and confirmed with her: "Is it true that Yi's order has been issued? But I haven't even gone to receive the order?"

"Today we went to congratulate Duke Yi's mansion. When the decree arrived, I knelt behind the son-in-law and heard it clearly and clearly!" Mrs. Xie sniffed and said with certainty, "Therefore, I have no intention of attending the banquet. I came back directly to tell you. As for why you were not asked to receive the decree, perhaps it was because the decree was for Yi Guogong, and he asked him to send Qing Man to enter the palace with you... Today even Qing Man knelt at the back. "

She cried out again, and said, "You and Qing Manli hired Concubine Shu to enter the palace, my son, this is obviously Concubine Shu who is giving you power! You haven't entered the palace yet, so that's it. After entering the palace, I don't know how to train you!"

"Auntie, maybe Concubine Shu just respects Lord Yi?" Xie Fenghuang took a deep breath, thinking that things can only be better now, after all, neither she nor Mrs. Xie have the qualifications to resist the decree, so she persuaded Mrs. Xie, "After all, not to mention that Concubine Shu and Concubine Qing are biological sisters, there is no reason for an elder sister not to take care of her younger sister. Just say that Concubine Shu has had nothing to do for many years. Isn't she just counting on her sister to have children and earn her face?"

Xie cried and said: "You are such a child and ignorant! Concubine Shu made it clear that she suppressed you from the beginning, and even if you have children later, she can snatch them to raise them, and maybe you will cross the river and tear down the bridge at that time. It is possible for the emperor's heir to recognize his biological mother after he grows up... After all, concubine Shu and you have no blood relationship. Although Tong Qingman is a sister, she is not the same mother. How much affection does she have? As the eldest daughter of the Duke of the Kingdom, she is honored by nature. How could she be happy to see Qingman, the concubine sister, and you, the so-called clan sister, on an equal footing with her? on the head?"

I know this!

I just want to comfort myself and you by the way... Can't you cooperate?

Xie Fenghuang silently recited the self-cultivation of a little padded jacket, and smiled: "Don't worry, aunt, even if Concubine Shu can't be counted on, Concubine Shu is not the master of the palace. The empress dowager, your majesty, the empress, and the imperial concubine are all untouchable by the concubine Shu! I entered the palace with Qingman to serve your majesty, not to serve concubine Shu. If concubine Shu took it seriously Deliberately making things difficult, can't we ask His Majesty to decide?"

As a result, Mrs. Xie just thumped the table and cried loudly: "You are a boudoir, how do you know the former court and harem today? Ever since the Empress Dowager was still the Queen Mother, the status of the Ji family has risen. The age is a bit young, but now Shengshoudu is in his twenties, but he is still ordered by the Empress Dowager and the Empress Dowager who were born in the Ji family to go to school and not allow him to govern himself!"

"If it wasn't for Duke Yi's strong protection, and the regent was born in the clan, even if he didn't resent the Ji family's forced establishment of the current majesty, he would still have some uncle and nephew feelings... I am afraid that the harem has already become the world of Ji's daughters. Is it possible for other concubines to be selected?"

"So even if you and Qing Man are favored by His Majesty, what can His Majesty do for you?"

Xie Fenghuang: "........."

Looking up at the beam again, I suddenly feel that this beam matches the white silk yarn inside... If I add myself, it will be more suitable...

And Mrs. Xie seemed to think that her niece's determination to hang herself on the southeast branch was not firm enough, and she continued to tell the tragedy of being a concubine to the current emperor: "You entered the palace as the daughter of the Yun family, and the relationship between the Ji family and the regent People naturally think that you belong to Concubine Shu's faction, and concubine Shu doesn't seem to like you. At that time, if you are favored, all six palaces will be enemies! If you fall out of favor, Concubine Shu will not let you go! What do you think you will do? "

Xie Fenghuang: "!!!!!!"

What should I do?

I'll go in and get the white gauze now, okay? ! !
