Treacherous Living in the Imperial Harem

Chapter 26 Sansheng Is Lucky to Meet You

"...Your Majesty is really lucky. Many concubines in the Sangong and Six Courtyards favored you." Empress Ji was silent for a moment, took a breath, and said sincerely, "According to what I know about him, he actually really likes you." Yours. Otherwise, it's been a while, why indulge you so much? I don't want you to trick him, but I'm not soft at all. "

The queen suddenly felt a little better.

Although Chunjia didn't like her very much, Chunjia's favorite concubine obviously didn't like the emperor too much... Just now she was full of joy and received many benefits from Chunjia, and then she turned around and suggested that Ji family burn the palace, it was heartless.

Yun Fenghuang said indifferently: "Your Majesty praises you, the empress dowager and mother empress dowager are both the elders of your majesty's direct lineage. What about His Majesty Keng?"

"That's it." Empress Ji didn't want to talk to her, because the empress suddenly thought, when Yun Fenghuang worked for Zhonggong before, wouldn't she also think about Zhonggong...

She stood up and said, "Xie Wuzheng is currently in the Hanlin Academy, so he can't deal with anything. But after Lord Shang, he will definitely be sent on an errand. When the time comes..."

"At that time, people will say that he is all honored by the royal family, and he has nothing to do with himself." Yun Fenghuang shook his head and said, "We must spread his fame before the Lord. Although he has already begun to gain The royal family is gone, but after all, he is not married, and there is still room for him to highlight his own abilities... In this way, he will have more confidence in becoming a husband and wife with Her Highness the Princess in the future."

Empress Ji said: "Let's leave you sister now, are you afraid that Penglai will treat the son-in-law badly? Besides, the Imperial Academy is noble and has no practical affairs to deal with. If you forcefully send it to your door, the group of hawks and dogs in the Imperial City Division may have to report for duty." Your Majesty, are you sure you want to take such a risk?"

Yun Fenghuang smiled and said: "Your Majesty, the Ji family has many heirs, and now they are on the verge of decline, even if they still have the power to fight, don't they have any long-term plans at all?"

Without waiting for the queen to speak, she continued, "My brother's current errand is indeed not suitable for direct or indirect affairs, so as not to arouse His Majesty's suspicion. But...he doesn't look for trouble, you can let things find him. Last year When I first entered the palace as a concubine, I had heard of the name of a dandy in the Ji clan. He was a recalcitrant lord who even shunned his clan and nobles. Even after years, after the departure of Mrs. Ye, His Majesty took charge personally. Be restrained, as the saying goes, the nature is hard to change, so the brothers and nephews of the empress must still be restless in their bones?"

"You want my brother in this palace to come forward and pave the way for your brother?" Empress Ji's expression darkened, "Didn't you think that this palace is your Majesty who has been stunned by you? You are allowed to act recklessly? Now His Majesty is disgusted For my Ji family, and even to recall Ouyang Yanran, it is also to target my Ji family... Under such circumstances, if my brothers in this palace make mistakes, how can there be good results?!"

Yun Fenghuang smiled and said: "Your Majesty's words are fooling my concubine. The Ji family has indeed lost his sacred heart, but if you say he has no power to fight back, then what does His Majesty do to keep the Empress in the middle palace, and he is too busy Recall the veterans? According to my concubine, there are many heirs of the Ji family anyway, and I chose the young and intelligent ones, who would provoke some disputes with their eyes. Could it be possible to tear faces with you for a little emotional dispute?"

"That's not His Majesty anymore."

"At that time, the Ji family will take advantage of the situation and send this son to a distant place. It's called exile, but it's actually protection."

"In this case, if the Ji family recovers in the future, calling him back is nothing but a trivial matter; if it is the Ji family... then there is just a glimmer of life left, isn't it?"

Seeing that Empress Ji frowned and remained silent, she continued, "Your Majesty, you should know that the only person who can help the Ji family in the six palaces is the concubine. The biggest disadvantage of the concubine is that she has no family background. You can help the concubine right now. It's like helping yourself. Otherwise, the newcomer will come fiercely, and once the concubine is lost, do you think Luo Hanyi and the others would be willing to see the Ji family survive?"

That is of course impossible.

Those of Luo Hanyi's family background were even worse than Ji's.

When the Ji family was in power, they hid their strengths and bide their time, and the Ji family had nothing to do.

At this moment, chasing Chunjia's appearance as a wise king, several families sent their daughters to the palace and their sons to the court, posing as if they were going to bow to Chunjia and die. Chunjia was happy to have a successor for her family, and even when the Queen Mother was fighting secretly, how could it be possible to "collaborate" with the Ji family whom Chunjia detested?

The most important thing is that they belong to the same family, and there is not much difference in size.

The Ji family and the Luo family can't offer enough attractive conditions at all. For the Luo family, rather than coveting the benefits promised by the Ji family, it is better to follow Chunjia to carve up the government and the opposition after knocking the Ji family out of the dust. The share is more worthwhile.

So even though Luo Hanyi and the others had no grievances with Empress Ji, it was impossible for the two parties to cooperate.

Only Yun Fenghuang, who is favored by Chunjia and able to speak in front of the emperor, but with a low background and a weak family background, will be interested in the connections, power, property, and news that the Ji family now holds.

"Concubine Zhen, you are so smart and quick-witted. When you first entered the palace, you had nothing, and you have come to this day." Empress Ji was silent for a while, and said lightly, "What's more, now that my brother is about to become the master? Why should you be anxious? The newcomers are coming fiercely, so far. Your Majesty visits Huanhua Palace most often, isn't it?"

Your true concubine's record is obvious to all, and it is already a legend without the help of family members. If this helps you to cultivate your brothers again, after a few years, you may not even need the Ji family--when the time comes, the Ji family will come to you again, with your credit, can you admit it?

Yun Fenghuang said with a smile: "Your Majesty said this, could it be that the Ji family has been in great trouble for three dynasties, and now they are facing some difficulties. Without the help of my concubine, a female class, I can't do it? Help me build a ladder or something. The rise and fall of such a big family needs to be tied to an outsider, so what are you thinking about doing in the future?"

Empress Ji was unmoved, and said coldly: "Although the common saying in the market is vulgar, there is also truth in it. A phoenix on the ground is not as good as a chicken - this palace is still the middle palace now, but in the past half a year, the ordinary maids in the palace have been able to come and go freely. But I have to stay in the Yanfu Palace and complain about my illness... Zhenfei doesn't need to provoke me with words, this past half a year is enough for me to think clearly."

She glanced at Yun Fenghuang, "It's not impossible for me to use my brothers to pave the way for the Xie family. But it's not enough to help the empress dowager and mother empress dowager return to the palace. You also have to help mother empress dowager To restore the former status, let the concubine pay her respects from the Spring Palace and return to the Mianfu Palace."

"If the concubine has this ability, is there still a need to meet the empress here?" Yun Fenghuang said with a smile, "The empress really knows how to joke."

She hoped that after Queen Mother Ji came back, she would immediately suppress Queen Mother Yuan?

At least when Empress Dowager Ji spoke ill of her to Chunjia, Chunjia neither believed it nor did she need to give face.

But how is this possible?

No matter how much Chunjia favored her, it was impossible for her to agree.

It is also impossible for her to be stupid enough to suggest this to Chunjia.

The two sides bargained for a long time, and finally it was Yun Fenghuang who persuaded Empress Ji to arrange an accident for her relatives to cause trouble, so that Xie Wuzheng could gain fame.

What Yun Fenghuang has to do is to respond internally to the return of the empress dowager and mother empress dowager, and to stop concubine Xuan from disposing of the civet cats.

"Actually, these civet cats are not a big deal. The mother and the queen did this because they were afraid that there would be too many snakes and rats in the palace, which would hurt Minghui and the others who ran around." Empress Ji explained, "The reason why I have dealt with the harsh civet cats a few times is that It's also because I think that if I don't want to do this, if there is someone who is greedy and beats the civet cats in private, then I can't ask the Royal Beast Garden to send a batch of civet cats here from time to time? But since the mother is expected to return to the palace, Now those civet cats have gone wrong, isn't it the face of the empress of the mother?"

"At that time, even if the queen mother comes back, how should she deal with herself?"

Yun Fenghuang agreed indifferently: "My concubine also dislikes Concubine Xuan, so please rest assured, Madam, I will leave this matter to my concubine. I promise that before my mother, the empress dowager returns to the palace, Concubine Xuan can't wait to see you." After steaming those civet cats, I have to endure it!"

So the two parties agreed on this matter, and Empress Ji left quietly.

The Qing people accompanied Yun Fenghuang back to the bedroom, and on the way they asked anxiously: "Your Majesty is very smart now, what if..."

"Although the Ji family has lost power, after all, the phoenix master of the three dynasties, if you can't even cover up the traces of Empress Ji's visit to the palace today, why did your majesty let the empress recuperate from illness last year?" Yun Fenghuang shook his head slightly, letting She doesn't need to be unfounded, "The centipede is dead but not stiff. You must know that if His Majesty finds out that the Empress is meeting with me in private, and I still have room for excuses, the Empress will really fall ill."

So, if the queen is not sure, how dare she come to see her in person?

The cooperation with Empress Ji was something she expected, and after thinking about it for a while, she realized that she didn't suffer a loss, so she just pretended nothing had happened.

Even after noon when Chunjia came over to sit in the Huanhua Palace, she still had time to mention the Zheng family in the Leng Palace, coquettishly and coquettishly urging Chunjia to send someone to Yanfu Palace to spread the word, telling him to deal with this person quickly, lest An eyesore.

In order to prevent Chunjia from suspecting that she was in a hurry to silence her, Yun Fenghuang plausibly said: "The last time my concubine and concubine Xuan almost got into a fight, I knew it was the queen's fault, but because she was prepared, she pushed Zheng For the sake of the overall situation, Mrs. Zheng came out to top the vat, so I can only accept it like this. So, if Mrs. Zheng is left in the cold palace, wouldn't it be a ready-made shield for the queen?"

"Earlier, the concubine didn't care about it, but now a pair of imperial heirs are raised under the concubine's knees."

"Thinking of the civet cat being attracted to the main hall last time, only one door away from the two children, the concubine is afraid!"

She turned up Chunjia's old account of saying that the birth mother of the emperor's heir was humble and even his blood was not noble enough. The two children are raised in front of you, although their birth mothers are humble, not as high as Zhao Rong and Shun Jieyu's unborn children who are more expected by His Majesty, but after all, they are His Majesty's flesh and blood!"

"Among them, the second prince was brought up by Concubine Shu's sister. His biological mother was not peaceful when she was pregnant with him, so he fell to the ground easily. If there is another problem, how can I explain myself to Concubine Shu and Duke Yi's government? That concubine would not be able to survive, woo woo woo woo..."

Chunjia was so entangled with her that she couldn't help it. Although she knew that she might not really care about the second prince, she still believed that the concubine was worried about her infertility.

Anyway, the decision to dispose of the Zheng family after the full moon banquet of the emperor's heir was made long ago, and he didn't intend to go back on his word at this moment, so he coaxed her for a while, and sent the little servant to Yanfu Palace on the spot to tell: "Two days ago, I said that as long as I If you feel sorry for the three of you, you are not afraid of anything, and now you are saying these things... With me here, what is worth living for you? Huh?"

"It's not because your majesty trusts me, so I let me take care of these two heirs." Yun Fenghuang was satisfied, and took the initiative to kiss him, and smiled through his tears, "I have such a heavy responsibility, can I not care about the two children?" ?”

She was afraid that the emperor would see how important she was to killing the Zheng family, so when she saw the servant leaving the door, she immediately changed the topic and started talking to Chunjia about the princesses' dowry——I thought that the emperor had already spoken, and the Zheng family would definitely If she couldn't survive tonight, such a hidden danger would be eradicated, but she didn't expect that the next day, she went to the Spring Palace to invite Ann back to the Huanhua Palace, but she didn't hear the news of Mrs. Zheng's sudden death.

He was also thinking that no one had noticed that Leng Gong was not taken seriously, and was thinking whether to ask Chen Zhu to inquire, but who knew that the empress sent someone to tell: "Zheng Shi said, I want to see you before we go on the road."
