Chapter 56: The Princess' Request

Yun Fenghuang calmly picked up the booklet, flipped through it, and closed it calmly: "Your Majesty, isn't this just right?"

"Just right?" Chunjia looked at her with raised eyebrows.

"Although Ouyang Yanran is a mature and stable minister, she is loyal enough to the late Emperor and His Majesty, but after all, she has just returned after being away for many years." Yun Fenghuang said, "Wouldn't it be great to have Luo's help?"

Chunjia snorted, "How did you promise me before?"

Yun Fenghuang said bluntly: "Luo Hanyi and Ouyang Fulu were just demoted, and Xiuyi Xiurong is still a high position in the palace. Does this mean that the concubine is merciless to their subordinates? And Luo Hanyi's nurturing mother intends to introduce them. For Your Majesty, Ouyang Fu will keep a low profile and wait for his grandfather to become a blockbuster...Your Majesty, these two are not innocent, and they cannot be regarded as a concubine who ruined his promise! Besides, this time it was the Ji family who did it, at most the concubine did not notify That's all they are."

He muttered again, "Didn't the concubine tell you about Princess Minghui?"

Chunjia laughed angrily: "You just told me that the mother, empress dowager, and the others are dissatisfied with Minghui's marriage and will take action, but they don't mention the second concubine at all... Now it's all right, and there are rumors inside and outside that my concubine and the prospective son-in-law have a relationship. There seems to be a collusion between them, are you happy?"

"I didn't expect the Ji family to be so vicious!" Yun Fenghuang called out, "Otherwise, I can help them hide it? What the queen told me is that Wang Ling will be arranged to have an affair with Luo Hanyi's mother's family who is not valued." What's the matter with the sisters... how can I imagine that they dare to play tricks on His Majesty's reputation?!"

Then he said, "But now things are like this, I don't think it's a bad thing? For the sake of my family's reputation, the Luo family and the Ouyang family are going to fight with the Ji family right now? Isn't this good for your majesty?"

Chunjia stared at her for a while, then teased, "Be nice to me? Better to you, right?"

"Of course I wish the Luo family and Ouyang family were defeated, so I can't put on the airs of a noble girl in front of me." Yun Fenghuang tilted his head and smiled at him with an innocent face, "But this is just incidental. In the final analysis, it is still necessary for His Majesty to kill and seize Yujiyu's inner life as soon as possible, so that the concubine can pretend to be a tiger, and there is nothing to be afraid of!"

"..." Chunjia snorted and ignored her, dealt with a few government affairs, took a sip of tea, and asked coldly, "Do you know who the Ji family wants Minghui to drop?"

Yun Fenghuang hastily walked over to refill him some tea, pursed his lips and said with a smile: "The queen didn't say anything about it, but I remember that the Ji family had also inquired about poor scholars before, and thought they had bad intentions at the time. , to deliberately sabotage His Majesty's plans... Now that I think about it, it seems that the empress dowager's intention is also to find a son-in-law from a poor family for Her Royal Highness Princess Minghui? Of course, it must be the kind whose heart is toward the Ji family."

Chunjia frowned slightly, and said, "Mother, the Empress Dowager always thinks highly of herself."

"The concubine also thinks that the empress mother and the empress dowager look down on children from poor families." Yun Fenghuang nodded. She still remembered that when she first entered the palace, she went to Mianfu Palace to greet her every day. personal.

Her birth status is like Concubine Shu, and she still has to rely on flattering Princess Minghui in order to win the Empress Dowager's favor.

The arrogance of the Empress Dowager Ji can be seen.

This empress dowager also has the right to be proud. She was born as the daughter of the Ji family, and has an aunt whose mother is all over the world. She reserved the seat of the phoenix when she was young. He has power and has to be taken care of by his aunt. When Ji Sheng was the queen, he didn't know how much more majestic than the current queen, Ji Lingzi - he really swept the Six Palaces without any opponent.

What national beauty and heavenly fragrance, white moonlight cinnabar mole, would not appear on the stage in front of her.

She alone has the final say on the huge palace.

This can be seen from the fact that Emperor Xiaozong passed away without a child, and Princess Minghui was the oldest among the three princesses.

The only regret in her life should be to meet such an heir as Chunjia.

So how could the Empress Dowager Ji catch the eyes of the concubines of Chunjia's first dynasty?

How could such an empress dowager choose a son from a poor family to be her son-in-law for her daughter?

Even if she didn't want to fulfill Princess Minghui's wish for Ji Minggan, she should choose from the best of the famous families.

Yun Fenghuang guessed, "Perhaps it is because you want Princess Minghui to firmly suppress the son-in-law?"

This is being said tactfully, what she really wants to say is that ordinary men really cannot accept Princess Minghui's appearance. That is to say, there is a huge disparity in status from the princess, and being able to honor the Lord is already a blessing, and I dare not ask for more—only then can I be in awe of the princess from the bottom of my heart.

If it was a family member, let alone Ji Minggan, who was spoiled by his family background and didn't take gold branches and jade leaves seriously at all.

It is the brothers of Luo Hanyi and Ouyang Fulu. You can tell him to respect the princess, but you can tell him to honor the princess as if he were his ancestor...

It's really difficult.

After all, with their background and knowledge, it cannot be said that they have no respect for the Tian family, but they are definitely not as trembling as the common people.

"Minghui is the princess of the first line, I must treat her kindly." Chunjia shook his head slightly, and said, "This is the case when the Ji family is here, and it will be even more so after the Ji family is gone. Otherwise, how can I be worthy of my stepfather? From this point of view, Minghui descended from the family. It's better."

He narrowed his eyes, "Because the aristocratic family knows how to treat Minghui kindly."

Princess Minghui is the only descendant of Emperor Xiaozong, which is of great political convenience.

And if you want to maximize this point, there is no doubt that Shi Jiazi is better at it.

"Maybe the empress mother and the empress dowager are afraid that the sons of the family will understand too much?" Yun Fenghuang asked quietly.

It is also the strong point of the family to eat and wipe clean without admitting it!

In case the Ji clan falls, the Empress Dowager Ji will not be able to protect Princess Minghui, the son-in-law from the aristocratic family will first take advantage of the princess's status, and then look at the emperor with a chilly face... Then the Empress Dowager Ji will not die of anger?

Is it safe to simply find the kind of simple and easy-to-control poor family?

Chunjia pondered, and was about to speak, when someone from the palace came in to report that it was Princess Minghui asking to see her.

"This is really a coincidence." Yun Fenghuang pursed his lips when he heard the words and smiled, "But I don't know what the princess is doing here at this moment?"

Eighty percent of them heard the rumors and came to make trouble.

Both the imperial concubine and the imperial concubine were thinking this way, but they pretended to be nonchalant and asked someone to invite the princess in.

A moment later, Princess Minghui walked in holding the maid's hand, she didn't know if it was rumors, she had lost a lot of weight, although she was still fat, she could already see a bit of beauty in her eyebrows and eyes.

"Brother Huang!" After entering the palace, after the salute, the princess choked up with aggrieved voices, "Brother Huang, please make the decision for me!"

Chun Jia said gently: "Ming Hui, don't worry, I have asked the Imperial City Secretary to conduct a thorough investigation, and I must give you justice! If Wang Linglai is really a bad person, how can I wrong you?"

"Wang Linglai?" The imperial concubine thought that she must have come here for her own marriage, but Princess Minghui was startled when she heard the words, but said, "It's good for the emperor to decide this matter. I'm here to ask the emperor to allow me to move back to Yao Yugong, the food expenses are up to you!"

At the last sentence, she stomped her feet angrily.

"You want to go back to Yaoyu Palace?" According to the rules, older princesses will stay in Yaoyu Palace—but Empress Dowager Ji has only one daughter, Minghui, so she is naturally very fond of her, so she often stays in Mianfu Palace. In the end, she was even allowed to simply live in Mianfu Palace.

Chunjia never cared much about this matter, he just wanted to seize power, and he didn't have the idea of ​​torturing Xiaozong's own daughter with hatred. He was a little surprised when he heard the words, "Does Empress Ji agree?"

Minghui said sullenly: "It's because the queen mother disagrees that I came to look for the emperor's brother—the emperor's brother obeys me!"

So he stepped forward and grabbed Chunjia's sleeve, begging.

Chunjia and Yunfenghuang looked at each other, then slowed down their voices: "According to the rules, you should have lived in Yaoyu Palace, because Empress Ji loved you so much that she took you to Mianfu Palace. I have no objection to going back to Yaoyu Palace, but I have to tell Mother Ji after all."

Seeing that she was about to cry, she said calmly, "Your marriage is settled, and if there is no accident, it will drop at the end of the year. Even if you can still visit the mother from time to time in the palace, after all, it is better to be in the palace together now." It's convenient to come here. It's human nature for Empress Ji to be reluctant to let you go to Yaoyu Palace, so why not be more sympathetic to Empress Ji?"

"From time to time, I..." Minghui hesitated to speak, and said with a sad face, "I don't want to listen to my mother anymore!!!"

Chunjia hurriedly asked: "What did Empress Ji tell you to make you so angry?"

"I..." Minghui wanted to say but looked very scrupulous, and finally said negatively, "Anyway, I'm going back to Yaoyu Palace, with Jinyun Penglai, and I'll eat whatever they eat! Brother Huang, just say whether you agree or not !"

"This..." Chunjia hesitated, and Minghui became anxious: "Brother Huang, you said you loved me before!!!"

Chunjia looked helpless: "Because I love you and respect my mother, I can't look at your mother and daughter with a grudge! You came here to make this request without thinking, how can I agree to it? I'm afraid that if the front foot agrees with you, the queen mother on the back foot will come and ask...how should I explain it?"

Minghui bit her lip, because she really wanted to leave Mianfu Palace, so she said the reason in a secret way: Empress Dowager Ji is too concerned about her!

After the mother and daughter reunited, they said that she was very thin, so she asked people to cook nourishing food to nourish her daughter's body.

"I've lost a lot of weight during the half a year when my mother was not in the palace, but when my mother came back, I... I will gain back to my original shape again, even worse than that!" Ming Hui said bitterly. , "How many times have I told you that I am in good health and don't need to make up for it! Besides, can't I be thinner? But the queen mother just doesn't listen!"

The imperial concubine was a little regretful when she heard the words, and thought it was something, it turned out that the beloved princess made her petty.

Chunjia smiled and persuaded Minghui a few words, and seeing her firm attitude, she agreed: "It's just that I am a royal princess, and I don't need to serve people in Israel. If I go to Yaoyu Palace, I can't cut down the meals too much. Otherwise , I still want you to go back to Empress Ji, you know?"

He was happy to let the princess leave Mianfu Palace, and let Empress Dowager Ji worry about it, lest she have too much free time to find work for him.

But I also don't want Ming Hui to break away from the control of Empress Dowager Ji, and stop eating or drinking in order to lose weight. Then something goes wrong, and rumors spread that he can't see Xiaozong's flesh and blood.

Chunjia doesn't take this kind of blame.

…… Waiting for Princess Minghui to leave contentedly, Yun Fenghuang said: "This is really strange. A girl in her teens, even a princess, would not love to be beautiful? At the age of the empress dowager, she is still beautiful. She is as light as a swallow, slim and beautiful, why do you have to raise the princess to be white and fat?"

Chunjia said casually, "Perhaps all mothers are like this, but Mother Yuan always says that I've lost weight."

After finishing the sentence, he doubled his voice and realized that he seemed to have poked the heart of Concubine Xian?

Fortunately, Yun Fenghuang didn't care about it, he just said: "Meng'er is not fat, it is said that the child is actually a little fatter and cute, but my concubine never advises her to eat more, as long as she is healthy."

Chunjia hurriedly changed the topic: "By the way, Meng'er has been home for a while, but I don't know when to pick her up?"
