Chapter 54: Incident
On the next day, Yun Fenghuang sent someone to send Xie Meng out of the palace to see Xiao Chen. She still didn't know the root cause behind this incident, but it didn't prevent her from taking advantage of the situation to sell miserably in front of Chunjia: "Sure enough, I was born Mother and daughter are called Lianxin, the mother is so shy to the extent that several doctors have invited her to look down on her, Menger stands in front of her, and she immediately regains her energy, asks for warmth, eats and drinks... Sigh, I don't know the identity of the concubine In this life, can there be such a villain that I can worry about?"
Chunjia really felt distressed, and said first: "Meng'er is going back for a few days, and I will pick you up after a while."
He also said, "Rang'er is also your child, and he will be filial to you when he grows up."
Reassuring again, "How old are you, your bones haven't grown well yet, let the imperial doctor take care of you, and there will be good news in a few years."
"It's my concubine who is greedy." Yun Fenghuang didn't have any fluctuations in his heart, but on his face he said sadly, "It's a blessing to be pitied by His Majesty in this life, if you think about it more, how can I have such a blessing in my body? "
Chunjia reprimanded lightly: "I said you have it, even if you didn't have it, you would have it!"
Fearing that she would be unable to extricate herself from the unbearable sorrow, she changed the subject and talked about Yun Fenghuang's Concubine Conferment Ceremony.
The concubines and concubines in the harem of the kingdom are as different as heaven and earth, and among the concubines, the fourth concubine is particularly different from other positions. Therefore, these two ceremonies are the most solemn.
Especially the canonization ceremony of the four concubines is only under the canonization.
It's always a grand event.
According to Qin Tianjian's calculations, the auspicious day for Yun Fenghuang's ceremony of registering a virtuous concubine is half a month later.
The specific handling is of course the queen. The queen is very familiar with this kind of thing. After all, Zheng Shangchu and Yun Shuangyu have gone through this process before. She informed Yun Fenghuang of the general process early in the morning, and said that it was just a slight deletion on the basis of Concubine Shu.
At present, Chunjia decided to give her a lot of treatment in order to make her favorite concubine happy, but she was like a noble concubine—of course Yun Fenghuang was satisfied, after all, she had never been set up as a kind, humble, gentle and virtuous concubine , I will not refuse the benefits of this kind of door-to-door delivery.
But when the emperor's word of mouth spread to Yanfu Palace, Empress Ji was very angry: "Is this going to be Concubine Yunxian or Concubine Yun Guifei?"
There is still a sentence that was not said in front of the empress: Concubine Xian is treated like a noble concubine, if she is a noble concubine, then she can't compare with the empress ceremony? !
"There are so many concubines in the Three Palaces and Six Courtyards, it's rare for His Majesty to like them, so let's just do it." Empress Ji doesn't care, does Chunjia make exceptions for concubines these days? And what happens next is more important, but there is no time to argue with the emperor over such a small matter.
So everything was done as Chunjia said.
Jia Pingye and other concubines were jealous, so they came to test their words in private, and the queen calmly comforted them: "After all, the concubine Xian is the adoptive mother of the eldest prince and Princess Zhaoqing, and she should be especially kind for the dignity of the eldest son and eldest daughter. Yes... who told you that you don't have a son and a half daughter? Otherwise, if your majesty doesn't say anything, this palace will give you grace."
After a few days like this, the entire harem was in full swing preparing for the concubine's canonization ceremony, and the Shangfu bureau was ordered around, after all, everyone knew Yun Fenghuang's character.
She had a good day, if she dared to dress up and attend to congratulate her, she didn't want to live a good life.
In Yanlan Palace, Concubine Xuan looked at the newly made gown, feeling extremely unhappy: "Why is there not enough Tiangong brocade that was tributed at the beginning of the year? Do I have to use this ordinary brocade to make new clothes?"
The wet nurse Yin sighed: "It was enough, but the Xuanqing Palace insisted on ordering a few more horses, saying that they were afraid that something would go wrong in the cutting process, and the concubine ceremony would be missed... In fact, it was reserved for the niece of the concubine Xian. .”
Tiangong brocade is the most precious fabric among the tributes of the imperial court. It was named "Skillful Workmanship".
Even if the status is as noble as Concubine Xuan, and it is not required for grand occasions, she is reluctant to use Tiangong brocade.
This time, Yunfenghuang Fengxian Concubine, in order to show her importance, she specially told the people below to ask for a batch of Tiangong brocade to make new dresses, but when the people came back after a while, they said that the stock was long gone: the empress dowager , the three Empress Dowagers, and the supply of Empress Ji must be given priority.
The three princesses are about to descend, and they cannot be wronged in any case.
After that came Yunfenghuang, Yunfenghuang should have left over after taking the usual share, but the people who couldn't stand Xuanqing Palace took the first step and rounded up the rest.
The reason for rambling outside cannot conceal the truth, that is, Yun Fenghuang thinks the material is good, and she deserves a share of it with her niece.
Even if Xie Meng is not in the palace now, anyway, the aunt took possession of the things first.
Concubine Xuan was so angry that she couldn't say: "The humble family just doesn't show up on the stage."
After scolding bitterly, it's not easy to go to Huanhua Palace to argue about such a small matter, and besides, Concubine Xian just did her a favor, so she can't just turn her back on her feet.
After being disconcerted for a while, Concubine Xuan pushed the lacquer plate holding the clothes in front of her, and sighed: "That's all, put it away, and bring it back on the day of the grand ceremony."
In fact, she thinks it is an ordinary beauty, and it is also a treasure.
But compared with Tiangongjin, there is a huge disparity, and I really can't arouse the interest of appreciating it.
Concubine Xuan thought that this matter was disturbing enough, so she went to find Concubine Rui to vent her criticism of Yun Fenghuang's behavior of taking advantage of small things in private... As a result, when she woke up the next morning, the palace gate was knocked open up.
With a cold face, Empress Ji rushed in with a large number of entourages, ignoring Concubine Xuan who came up to her in surprise and asked why before she even dressed, and directly ordered people to search the palace!
"Your Majesty, if this concubine has ever done something wrong, please ask your Majesty to show me what is the reason for conducting such a thorough investigation of Yanlan Palace for no apparent reason?" Concubine Xuan was extremely astonished, but she was not in a state of chaos. Empress Ji, "Although the concubine is not as noble as the empress, she is also a concubine Xuan who is a serious concubine. She is not an ordinary concubine, so she can be killed at will!"
"...The reason why I want to search the palace is naturally for my reason." Empress Ji stared at her without any fluctuations in mood, and said slowly, "It's not just you, Concubine Xian is leading the way on Concubine Rui's side. Among them. Don’t think that this Palace and Concubine Xian are targeting you, if there is no conclusive evidence, no one will treat you two like this. As for the reason, I will naturally tell you later!”
Said and waved his hand, "Concubine Xuan please go to the side hall for tea."
Two healthy women came out in response to the crowd, and blessed Concubine Xuan: "Concubine Xuan, please don't make it difficult for the servant girl."
The implication is that if Concubine Xuan doesn't cooperate, then she has to use force.
Concubine Xuan glared at them, thinking that she couldn't be tougher, rather than being dragged to the side hall by two lowly maidservants... Then she raised her head and said in a deep voice: "The concubine is waiting for the empress's explanation!"
It is necessary to take the attendants to the side hall.
As a result, Empress Ji's eyes flashed, she raised her chin towards Yin and the others, and said lazily: "Concubine Xuan goes to the side hall to rest, if you want to serve, let the people in my palace serve for the time being, these people will stay The palace has something to ask!"
Concubine Xuan's heart sank, and she said, "Your Majesty! These are the concubine's dowry, not slaves in the palace!"
"Is it the king's land in the whole world, and the king's minister on the shore of the land." Empress Ji said softly, "After entering the palace, even you are a member of the royal family, let alone your servant? The Luo family sent you into the palace. To serve His Majesty, not to let the family have children to come to the harem to make nails, what do you think?"
"..." Concubine Xuan was speechless when she was blocked, but when she was angry, she thought of Yun Fenghuang.
If Concubine Xian was here, she would definitely not be like this!
Luo Hanyi felt weak for a while, she never felt that she was any worse than Yun Fenghuang before, at most she entered the palace late, and Yun Fenghuang and the emperor had cultivated sincerity.
For the rest, in terms of family background and talent, she felt that she should be above Yunfenghuang.
But at this moment, there is a sad thought, that with Luo's family status and her hard work, she is indeed not as good as Yun Fenghuang.
At least she has never seen Yun Fenghuang being speechless when being questioned by anyone.
"You go ahead." Empress Ji's attitude was casual, obviously she didn't take Concubine Xuan seriously at all, this kind of contempt for Concubine Xuan revealed by indifference made Concubine Xuan Youqi angry and powerless, she clenched her fists subconsciously, Just now he strode away without looking back.
She was guarded by the Queen's people in the side hall, listening to the chaotic movement outside, her heart was also in a mess, and she had no idea what happened--after thinking about it, the most suspicious thing was probably the last time when the three prospective son-in-laws entered the palace. The palace lady disappeared for a while, but the palace lady got scratched, isn't this thing over?
Or did Concubine Xian find a place later and cause trouble?
But the queen said that Concubine Xian went to search Concubine Rui's palace...?
Or maybe it has nothing to do with this, because the Yanlan Palace was not cleaned thoroughly before, so this disturbance happened?
Concubine Xuan felt like she was sitting on pins and needles, she wanted to get up to see the queen several times, but was stopped by people, and she was suffering like this until noon, when she heard a sound of greetings from outside, it was Yun Fenghuang who came over.
She felt relieved inexplicably, and then felt ashamed and annoyed.
He settled down and listened carefully, but Yun Fenghuang only stayed outside for a while, asked Empress Ji to drink tea in the main hall, and then passed.
There was no sound from the main hall at all from the side hall, and it took a while before someone came to inform her to take Concubine Xuan over.
Concubine Xuan walked in with her back straight, and saw Empress Ji sitting in her usual seat, with Yun Fenghuang at her head, both of them had refreshments at hand, but no one moved, and the concubine's expression was not very good.
Concubine Xuan glanced at Yun Fenghuang subconsciously, and then stepped forward to salute.
"Sit down." The Queen ordered, "Everyone else has dispersed."
Soon there were only three empresses and concubines left in the palace. Looking at the battle, it was obvious that something was not trivial. Concubine Xuan pursed her lips and asked first: "Empress, sister Xianfei, but don't you know...?"
"An accident happened to Wang Linglai." Yun Fenghuang interrupted her, and said briefly, "The people in front of him took the personal belongings of the forbidden women to show off, and now many people in the imperial capital know about it."
Concubine Xuan was shocked, thinking about today's palace search, her face suddenly changed: "Could it be that those personal things...?"
Empress Ji said coldly: "It has just been found out that it is indeed from Yanlan Palace and Hansu Palace."
Glancing at Concubine Xuan, whose face turned pale in an instant, "And it's the dowry between you and Concubine Rui... Do you know how hard it is to hear the words outside?!"
