Chapter 226 Is There Such a Fool in the World?

"Your Majesty, you misunderstood! The concubine was only afraid that Meng'er would be worried, so she prevaricated her casually." Yun Fenghuang learned from the pain and dealt with the aftermath, "I'm not afraid of revealing the truth, so I have to send her away quickly?"

Chunjia snorted, "Sophistry!"

"This concubine is wronged!" Yun Fenghuang swore, "If this concubine has the ability to figure out the holy will, why won't I see you for a long time?"

"Who knows if you can figure out the holy meaning, but you are impatient to figure out the holy meaning?" Chun Jia glanced at her and said quietly.

Yun Fenghuang was dumbfounded and said, "Is there such a fool in the world?"

She said this so quickly and confidently that Chunjia laughed angrily, and said, "It's not that stupid!"

"There must not be such a person here." Yun Fenghuang said seriously, "I was praised for being smart and quick-witted when I was young, and His Majesty also said so about my concubine. Smart man... Well, no wonder His Majesty likes me, and I like Your Majesty, after all, Your Majesty is wise and powerful, so it's fitting for you to be in love with someone who is as smart and intelligent as me, isn't Your Majesty?"

Chunjia took a deep breath and threw her away.

I don't want to talk to this concubine at all!

But now Yun Fenghuang became sloppy and coquettish, and got tired of him muttering... After a long while, Chunjia finally forgave her in a muddleheaded way.

The emperor stayed in the Huanhua Palace tonight - Yun Fenghuang ordered before, and of course the matter of sending Xie Meng back was nothing.

When Chunjia got up the next day and went to court, Yun Fenghuang sat in front of the dressing table and asked the Qing people to dress herself, and she noticed that the people who came in and out to serve her were all refreshed, almost beaming up.

When having breakfast, Xie Hengyu also quietly confirmed that it is not necessary to ask Mrs. Chen to contact the Regent's Palace, is it?

She whispered: "I see that Your Majesty still has you in his heart, but why take such a risk? After all, even if there is a newcomer entering the palace in the coming year, Yigui may conceive a princess, isn't Liang Fengyi also happy? Even if this Both of you don't have the good fortune to give birth to a prince, there are so many concubines in the Xuanqing Palace, and there are still some days before the newcomers come in, so they will always be up to date."

"Besides, Your Majesty is empty at the knees now. Regardless of whether you are a prince or a princess, you must love her in your heart. You also said before that Yigui is beautiful. Even if she gave birth to a princess, there is absolutely no reason why Your Majesty should not love her."

The voice was even lower, "What's more, Your Majesty is in the prime of life. Now that you have a prince, if you like it, it's hard to say what will happen in the future! But the princess, there are girls on the left and right, so you can rest assured and love her. Even if a newcomer enters the palace, from you Take the palace power in your hand, and when the emperor's heirs are born, it must be the only reason to win us over."

The son of heaven who came to the throne at a young age is wrong to live forever. How many of the princes established in the early years can make it to the end?

After all, the Tian family originally had a weak relationship with strong sons and elders. How could the old emperor not be afraid of the young and vigorous East Palace?

This is often cheaper for the princes who were born later.

Judging from Chunjia's body and bones, if there is no accident, he may not die early, so at the moment, the former court and the harem are all worried about his heirs, but in fact, if Chunjia lives long, he will be with him for thousands of years now. It's really hard to say whether the prince who is looking forward to landing will have a happy ending in the future.

Of course, Xie Hengyu said this mainly because he hoped that Yun Fenghuang would not think so sadly about the future. Right now, Chunjia was clearly partial to Xuanqing Palace, so he was thinking about going to the Prince Regent's Palace.

"What mother said makes sense." Yun Fenghuang fiddled with the makeup box in front of him slowly, and said with a slight smile, "But have you thought about it? Since His Majesty can accept the newcomers into the palace because they need the support of the family behind them He also gave high palace authority, and if the newcomers don’t like us, they will definitely eradicate us...Then the heir born of Yigui Ren Liang Yuwan, and the current love and affection of His Majesty, as well as the current status of the palace, can save us?"

Seeing that Xie Hengyu was slightly startled, she sighed, looked sideways at the inner room, and asked Dan E to go out and guard the door, so as not to be overheard, and said just now, "Your Majesty took the throne for eight years before he was able to take charge. You said that if he had no choice, or if he wanted to be safe, he would marry a high-ranking family again and get some concubines for the harem, whether he likes it or not?"

"Since he did this, he obviously thought it through."

"Then once the newcomer can't tolerate Ben Gong, do you think he will definitely stand by our side?"

"Or do you think that His Majesty is the kind of master who loves beauties but not country?"

Yun Fenghuang raised the corners of his lips and sneered slightly, "Maybe mother thinks that the new couple will not harbor the slightest hostility towards me?"

"This..." Xie Hengyu opened his mouth and was speechless for a while.

Even if she is a loyal servant who watched Yun Fenghuang grow up, there is no way to say that those newcomers will not target Yun Fenghuang - after all, Yunfenghuang has become famous for what he has done since entering the palace.

Not to mention her disposition and behavior, it would have aroused the resentment of many people who pay attention to rules.

Let’s just say that she is the one who has overtaken concubine Zheng Gui, the current Gu Zhen, Cui Lianye and other high-ranking concubines after Empress Ji’s “sickness” to hold power in the palace. Is there any more convenient way than stepping on her to take the position?

It's like when Yun Fenghuang stepped on Yuan Niangniang to become famous in the first battle.

If on the first day she enters the palace, she pinches not Yuan Niangniang, but other concubines, or even a concubine like Cui Lian Yeyunshuangyu who has a better reputation, she will not make Yuan Niangniang look ashamed, and there will be no effect on her good.

So it's not that Yun Fenghuang doesn't have enough trust in Chunjia, but it's an inevitable disadvantage brought about by the vain foundation caused by her lack of background and her rapid rise to power.

"If my palace's expectations are not bad, even if I haven't thought of the newcomers who have been appointed at this moment, I haven't thought about it yet." Yun Fenghuang looked at Xie Hengyu and said calmly, "But the relatives and guests at home must have I'm pointing out the maze for them, planning how to make the most of my palace, and praise their daughter!"

After all, everyone knew that Empress Ji would be deposed sooner or later.

That seat in Yanfu Palace will be vacant eventually.

Focusing on this point, when newcomers enter the palace in the coming year, the fighting in this palace cannot be just a competition for favor among concubines, but is related to whether a large family, or even several families, can soar into the sky, and how many generations of descendants will be blessed. The big picture!

"My palace now has three choices."

Yun Fenghuang ignored Xie Hengyu, whose face was blue and white, and said slowly, "One is to admit defeat directly, choose one of the newcomers who entered the palace to take refuge, cooperate with acting, and praise her as the successor. After that, Congfeng Even though he is inferior to others, the fourth concubine is expected;"

"The second is to pretend to admit defeat, choose one person to take refuge, sow discord, prompt them to fight each other and weaken each other, and wait for the opportunity to show their true colors to pick peaches;"

"The third... of course is that the brave wins when we meet on a narrow road!"

"Your Majesty, can't you choose the second one?" Xie Hengyu bit her lip and couldn't help asking, "The servant girl knows that you can't bear to be wronged, but... such a big matter... Xie's lintel... the family really helps I won't come to your door... Originally, the maid thought that at least His Majesty would be on our side, but you also said that His Majesty may not be able to protect us."

So it's better to hibernate first and let them fight by themselves.

When it's over, look for a chance to come out and have the last laugh!

In this way, even if there will be some suffering and grievances in the middle, compared to the final victory, these costs are not unacceptable, aren't they?

"If you change to someone like Zhao Rong, you can still choose the second one, but in this palace, the risk is too high." However, Yun Fenghuang shook his head and said, "You all entered the palace later in this palace, and it may be very important for me to enter the palace first. What I did when I heard it, I forget it, and I don’t take it to heart: this palace was first recommended by Concubine Zhenxishu to the Empress Dowager to enter, and when she came in, she followed Shun Jieyu, and often ran to Tongxia Palace; "

"Afterwards, I found an opportunity and went to Yanfu Palace to vote for the queen;"

"Furthermore, His Majesty is in charge, the Ji family is showing signs of decline, and I have no choice but to switch to Your Majesty... These are not secrets."

No one is willing to keep a secret for her.

If she was from a poor family, she might be kept in the dark and not know about her past.

However, as the son of heaven, Chunjia wants to use the high position and power in the harem to win over the family, even if he didn't care about it before, if he wants to know, he can find out in minutes.

Yun Fenghuang sighed, "I think back then when I was in front of Concubine Shu, the Empress and Your Majesty, I didn't act humble and sincere? You said those families knew this, and dared to believe in Bengong's surrender?"

I'm afraid it's more or less like pretending to believe it and then killing the grass and roots after using it?

"...Since your Majesty told the young lady not to go back for the time being, then, the servant girl will arrange someone later to send some cakes that the young lady likes to the thirteenth son and the thirteenth young lady, and say that they belong to the young lady. Be filial." Xie Hengyu was silent for a while, then sighed, and said, "Your Majesty is generous, if you think about it, even if you know about it, you won't care about it."

There is no way, her master has such bad deeds before, so let me say that the second method will not work, and the first method will not work.

After all, it was Xie Hengyu who considered from the standpoint of the newcomer, and there was such a master in the palace, so how could he not kill him? Who knows if it will become a stumbling block on the way to his master's succession?

Empress Ji, Concubine Yun Shu, Concubine Zheng, Concubine Zheng, Mrs. Chunke... Who in the harem who are now or have been in high positions has never regretted killing her when Yun Fenghuang was still weak?

So the choice before Yun Fenghuang was to fight to the end.

Although Xie Hengyu didn't want his own mother to take risks, the people brought out by the Jiang family were desperate, and they didn't lack the courage to fight back.

She also reminded Yun Fenghuang: "Although the thirteenth young lady has already given birth to the thirteenth son, and she is supposed to be with the Xie family, but this is a big matter, so I should find some other ways to control it. It just so happens that your majesty If you like the little lady, let's keep the little lady in the palace for the time being, it just happens to be more lively."

With someone's own daughter in hand, a mother will always work harder.

Fearing that Yun Fenghuang couldn't bear it, he added, "The Xie family's lintel is low, and the wealth and honor belong to the empress. The empress did this for their own good."

... This matter is settled like this. Chunjia heard that Zhu E went out of the palace to deliver food to Xie Xiliu's family on the same day, and asked casually when they arrived at the Huanhua Palace. The son felt good eating it, but it was a pity that her parents and brothers couldn't eat it. I thought it was not a big deal, so I sent someone out of the palace to give it away... If His Majesty thinks it is not good, then I won't give it away next time."

Chunjia didn't care and said: "It's nothing, you can figure it out."

"If it's really nothing, His Majesty would specifically mention it to my concubine?" Yun Fenghuang looked at him suspiciously, "Or who said something in front of His Majesty?"

"You're so jealous!" Chunjia laughed, reaching out to pinch her cheeks, "I was just thinking that you said you were going to send Meng'er back, so why don't you send someone out of the palace to your brother-in-law's house today to explain this matter, I just want to know if your brother and sister-in-law are willing to continue staying in the palace!"

Yun Fenghuang is relieved, as long as he has no doubts, but in order to make him less suspicious, she deliberately curled her lips: "I already know that there are always some villains in this palace, who are staring at Huanhua Palace. Three melons and two dates, I can't wait to go to His Majesty to report... I'm afraid His Majesty will not get tired of my concubine!"

Chunjia smiled and said: "Nowadays, who in the Sixth Palace doesn't know how powerful your real concubine is, who dares to say this! Besides, I am very busy, where is the time, and listen to those who have it. It's just a casual question. , you really think too much."

Changed the subject again, and asked when Xie Meng would come over... Just talking and laughing like this, the matter was over.

Xie Meng stayed in the palace this New Year's Eve, the little girl was separated from her parents for a long time, even though she was afraid of her homework, she still missed it a little, and she made a fuss twice.

But Xie Hengyu is partial to Yun Fenghuang after all among his aunts and nephews, how can he care about it? She didn't even report it to Yun Fenghuang, and directly asked the maid in charge of taking care of her to suppress her. She was coaxed and frightened, and she just let her stay obediently.

At the end of the twelfth lunar month, the front and back palaces are all calm.

Soon, the day will come.
