Chapter 17 If You Don't Have a Chance, You Have to Create a Chance!

In Yanfu Palace, after listening to Yan Yin's message, Empress Ji calmly said, "I know, tell Your Majesty, when the concubines come to pay their respects, I will deal with this matter."

After he left, both left and right sighed: "Concubine Xuan and Concubine Xuan are both loving mothers, empress dowagers, and celebrities in front of Your Majesty. What do these two intrigues have to do with our Empress? What Your Majesty did is embarrassing Your Majesty!"

From their point of view, this matter is clear at a glance, either the real concubine framed the concubine Xuan, or the concubine Xuan failed to murder the concubine because of her incompetence... No matter what the truth is, the queen is ordered to conduct a thorough investigation, and she will definitely offend one in the end.

Even offended both parties.

Originally, everyone in the court and harem knew that the Ji family had lost their Sacred Heart, but Concubine Xuan and Concubine Zhen were all hot newcomers, and they were ordered to take care of the Six Palaces. Although Chunjia has no intention of abandoning the middle palace so far, if Concubine Xuan and Concubine Zhen really make things difficult, there is nothing she can do. Obviously, after this time, life in Yanfu Palace might not be so easy.

"This is all predictable." Empress Ji has been cold-hearted again and again these days, and she is a little used to it. Hearing this, she just said lightly, "Your Majesty will abandon this palace sooner or later. The reason why he has not done so so far It's nothing more than that he feels that my Ji family has not completely fallen, so he can't rest assured, and he wants to be a wise king, and he can't allow himself to be blamed for his wife... let alone take the name of pampering concubines and destroying wives head."

"So at the same time, let Ben Gong say that he has been ill for a long time and is not allowed to take care of things, and handed over the power of the palace to a few lowly maidservants whom he trusts and loves."

"On the one hand, when I met someone who was difficult to deal with, I just pulled Bengong out to block his gun anytime and anywhere..."

Empress Ji sneered a few times and said, "But this time it's not that simple."

She squinted her eyes and said calmly, "It's fine if Concubine Xuan pesters Your Majesty to let me come forward, but since it's from the real concubine's request... there must be something inside!"

"Could it be that the real concubine...?" Looking at her face from left to right, she carefully guessed.

"Your Majesty and his wife have been trying to weaken my Ji family for more than half a year. Now the two concubines who are in charge of the palace have a dispute, but they teach me to go out and make decisions for them. Normally, this is not intentional. How is it possible?" Empress Ji said, "If Concubine Xuan made such a mistake when she first entered the palace, it's fine, but Concubine Zhen is definitely not this kind of person. I'm afraid, she has other reasons for this incident. Going to be inside."

After pondering for a while, the queen asked, "Recently, our people... have they done anything that shouldn't be done?"

"Probably not." Glancing left and right, recalling carefully, he said with certainty, "Your Majesty has ordered you before, and now it's an eventful time, and all the staff will do their own errands in an orderly manner, and don't meddle in other people's business. Everyone listen, it's not the empress's order, no one is allowed to make decisions on their own."

Empress Ji was relieved when she heard the words, and said: "The real concubine is cunning, let's check again, don't let her take advantage of any loopholes."

When the Zhonggong was on full alert, the Qing people were asking Yun Fenghuang suspiciously: "Mother, Ouyang Yanran has not yet returned to the court. Although the Ji family is in decline, the centipede is dead and not stiff. Now targeting the queen, I think your majesty will be fine." If you hate Zhong Gong in your heart, you won't abandon her, right?"

Chunjia was already very tired of Empress Ji, if she could be abolished, or if she was willing to abolish the empress, she would have been abolished long ago, and it would not be delayed until now.

So the Qing people couldn't help but feel that Yun Fenghuang was a bit unnecessary this time.

Anyway, Empress Ji did not please the emperor, so why take the risk of deceiving the emperor?

"Do you think this is too much for me to do?" Yun Fenghuang smiled to himself and said, "Think about why I recommended Brother Eleven to be His Majesty's sister-in-law back then, but why did he get the marriage offer later?" , is it Brother Twenty-One?"

The Qing people were stunned, and whispered: "Because... because when the eleventh son was framed, it was the twenty-first son who stepped forward to clear up his grievances. match?"

Yun Fenghuang said: "Then why don't you understand? The Ji family will be abandoned sooner or later, and the successor will definitely be established. The emperor sits in the three palaces and six courtyards, and there are many concubines, but there is only one successor. Anyone can sit. Our Majesty has little ambition, but is determined to be a wise monarch and rejuvenate the country. So, what criteria do you think he will use to select his successor?"

The Qing people said in embarrassment: "The maid...the maid is mean, but she can't guess His Majesty's mind."

"Family background is absolutely necessary. Your Majesty is the concubine brought up by the aunt, so he must attach great importance to the concubine and his birth." Yun Fenghuang chuckled, "Needless to say about my own talent and appearance, I don't care if I don't have any appearance." Can't enter the palace. The rest is the relationship with His Majesty, and whether it is suitable for the mother's ceremonial world."

She didn't go into details about her family background, talent, appearance, and love, but only talked about the fact that her mother respects the world, "To the outside world, it must be a virtuous and virtuous character; Eyes and wrists, whether they can cooperate with him in the previous court, and..."

And, if Chunjia himself has a mishap, can the Zhenggong stabilize the situation for the young master, act as regent, and keep the foundation he has worked so hard to avoid falling into the hands of others, especially outsiders?

However, it is not suitable to elaborate on this even if it is only in the inner room of the servants.

Yun Fenghuang skipped it and said, "Concubine Xuan actually did a good job about the civet cat thing yesterday. When she came to the door, she was well-founded. After being sent away by the Palace, the complaint was also very standard. Otherwise, the Queen Mother I won't be so partial to go out in person. In this case, if I swallow my anger and just let it go, I will certainly be underestimated by Liu Gong; but if I just fight back against Concubine Xuan, because of the current situation, it is difficult to take much of the essence The cheapness on the market will eventually disappear from everyone."

The Qing people's eyes flickered, and they whispered: "The reason why the empress brought the middle palace...?"

"What do you think of Concubine Xuan's performance last night?" Yun Fenghuang asked without answering.

The Qing people recalled it carefully, and said truthfully: "Neither humble nor overbearing, although it can be seen that His Majesty is partial to our Xuanqing Palace, he has never lost his composure. Generally speaking, he has not lost everyone's demeanor."

"That's it." Yun Fenghuang said to her calmly, "Concubine Xuan's background is well known to everyone. Compared with demeanor, manners, rules, and demure, I am actually no match for her—not to mention talent. Now, it's not that I didn't work hard when I was young, but that the Xie family that the Luo family can hire for their daughter is comparable to me, the Xie family?"

Sighing, "So I can only avoid these aspects and compare with her."

Last night Concubine Xuan was indeed very personable. Standing in her position, she was framed after losing in the daytime. Chunjia favored Concubine Zhen in front of her. If someone was a little timid, she might cry out on the spot when she was wronged.

But Concubine Xuan was generous and neither humble nor overbearing from the beginning to the end.

If Yun Fenghuang hadn't pulled Empress Ji into the room, and mentioned that this matter was a conspiracy by the Ji family, which aroused Chunjia's vigilance, what would have been the consequences?

At least for now Chunjia still prefers her, but judging from his desire to make peace last night and prevent a thorough investigation, no matter whether it is sympathy for the Luo family or Luo Hanyi himself, Chunjia has no sympathy for this Luo family girl. defend.

Then, the attention may have been on coaxing Yunfenghuang at that time.

Looking back later, I can't help but feel that the daughter of the Luo family is a famous lady, and her generosity is not comparable to that of Yunfenghuang—how could Yunfenghuang give Chunjia such an opportunity?

So she decisively fabricated the "Ji's Conspiracy". Now that it's all over, she guarantees that Chunjia doesn't remember Luo Hanyi's behavior at all. He must be thinking about what to do at the moment. Kill Ji gracefully without damaging his reputation!

And when it's over?

Looking back, Chunjia didn't think Concubine Xuan's performance was any brighter.

Because in an ambitious monarch like him, no matter how gentle and elegant Concubine Xuan is, the entanglement back and forth is nothing more than the civet cat's attack on Huanhua Palace at night. Who is the culprit? After all, she couldn't get rid of the limitation of making circles in the back house; in contrast, Concubine Zhen sensed the suspiciousness of the inside story sharply, and quickly analyzed the possible real culprit, and even pulled the real culprit into the game to facilitate tactful punishment.

It is clear at a glance which is higher and which is lower.

In the face of Yun Fenghuang's keenness, overall view, and responsiveness, what is the demeanor of a noble lady?

This is only the first time, and there will be more times in the future—even if Concubine Xuan realizes it in the future, she will do the same thing, but this time Yun Fenghuang took the lead, how could she fall behind next time?

If things go on like this, when the Ji family collapses, the empress is abandoned, and Chunjia is going to be a successor, in terms of family background, Yun Fenghuang coerces the little prince to make his uncle cheaper, Youyi State Duke's mansion is the foundation, and there is also the rapidly developing Xie family. Bonus points; in terms of talent and appearance, she is not inferior to any concubine; in terms of affection, she is probably the first one Chunjia sincerely loves; in terms of talent and virtue...

Isn't she just running the business?

When the time comes, who will succeed her?

"How to do it later, remember it?" Putting on a pair of red gold silk gourd earrings in front of the bronze mirror, Yun Fenghuang leaned back, looked at his appearance, and stood up with a smile, "here It's a big matter, if you have anything unclear, tell me as soon as possible, if you miss my plan later, don't blame me for not remembering the past!"

The Qing people and other close servants were all awe-inspiring, and they calmed down before nodding their heads: "Your Majesty, please rest assured! The servant girls will never hold you back!"

…The concubines went to pay their respects outside the Yanfu Palace on this day. Most people thought that they were waiting for the palace people to go in at the gate of the palace as usual, and they were told that the queen was still sick.

As a result, not long after the palace servants went in, they came out and told them: "The empress happens to be a little energetic today, so I invite you all to come in and talk."

When they entered, Empress Ji was already sitting on the phoenix seat. She was wearing half-worn uniforms, her long hair was tied up casually, and her face was not painted. Some mean sickly.

"I heard that something happened in Huanhua Palace last night." Empress Ji was greeted by everyone, and she called out in a low voice, without going around in circles, and asked directly, "So much so that I called Concubine Xuan over overnight. Not to mention, it even alarmed His Majesty?"

Concubine Xuan and Concubine Zhen rushed out, nodding in agreement.

"What's the matter between you will be discussed later." Empress Ji scolded unceremoniously, "It's just that I want to say that you are acting recklessly, knowing that His Majesty is diligent, and you have to get up early every day to go to court, why? Unexpectedly, we can’t wait for dawn to talk about it, or tell me to come here, insist on late at night, torment Your Majesty?”

Yun Fenghuang quickly admitted his mistake: "I know my crime."

Concubine Xuan also said: "I am afraid, please punish me."

Empress Ji said in a cold tone: "I think it's your first offense, let's forget it this time, and next time, I will never forgive you lightly!"

Finally, he asked, "What happened last night?"

"Your Majesty, it's like this." Yun Fenghuang said after explaining in a few words, and finally said aggrievedly, "I also ask Your Majesty to be discerning and make decisions for this concubine!"

Concubine Xuan felt that although there was nothing wrong with her rhetoric on the surface, every word and every word was doubting herself, she was very aggrieved, and said tit-for-tat: "Please learn from me, my mother, and return my innocence!"

At this time, many concubines who don't know why the queen suddenly got better will feel sorry for what's going on. For a while, they all look at the queen with great interest, wondering what this well-known Zhonggong who has lost power will do?
