Chapter 61 A Flash of Inspiration

Because Mrs. Chunke was present at Concubine Yun Fenghuang's congratulatory banquet the day before, everyone was not too surprised to see her in Yanfu Palace this morning, but when their eyes met, there was somewhat strange look.

Empress Ji didn't pay much attention to Yuan Niangniang, but said lightly: "Mrs. Chunke is well, this is really good news, I will have to announce the happy news to the queen mothers and the imperial grandmother later. "

"Madam Lao is thinking about it." Mrs. Chunke responded bluntly, her tone was cold and arrogant, but compared to her previous unruly and self-willedness, she seemed much more sensible.

Gu Zhen and the other old people felt a little melancholy when they saw it. Yuan Niangniang was so obsessed, but now she has to bow her head?

It's just that Yun Fenghuang's status is already stable, and her children are all intact. This emperor Qingmei, whose heir died young, and her face has faded, how can she still have a chance?

Yuan Niangniang may or may not have seen these thoughts, but she always remained indifferent.

She sat in her seat very silently, and waited for Empress Ji to lead the crowd to Mianfu Palace to pay her respects. When Empress Dowager Ji saw her, she was also a little surprised, and after thinking about it, she asked, "How is Madam Chunke? "

It was better for Yuan Niangniang to speak to her, just one word: "Yes."

"After all, the good fortune of the virtuous concubine is profound." The Empress Dowager Ji nodded, and said to Yun Fenghuang, "The Ai family remembers that Chunke has been lying on the couch for a long time, but she was just fine when you were promoted to the fourth concubine here. When Ke gave birth to King Qi, things were not going well, and the loving mother, the Empress Dowager, took you into the delivery room, and King Qi was born...Your child is indeed very lucky."

Yun Fenghuang didn't need to look at Yuan Lianniang's face to know how ugly it must be at the moment, so he chuckled and said, "The empress dowager is absurd, my concubine comes from a humble background, it is a blessing to be able to serve your majesty, but what is so good about her?" Yes, what about Mrs. Chunke and His Royal Highness King Qi? When King Qi landed, it was due to the blessing of his kind mother, the Empress Dowager and His Majesty, and the concubine was just there by chance. As for Mrs. Chunke, I think it’s okay now After resting these days, it will recover naturally."

Even so, at the end of the day, Yuan Niangniang still walked away with a sullen face.

On the way of Yun Fenghuang's chariot back to Xuanqing Palace, the Empress Dowager Yuan sent someone to call her to the Spring Palace.

"Don't be as knowledgeable as Niangniang." Empress Dowager Yuan took her hand as soon as she met her, and eased her worried niece, "She was spoiled by Ai's family. At such an old age, there is no such thing as a good child. But I still can't come to my senses... Originally, I heard that she went to congratulate you yesterday, and Aijia thought she was finally sensible. As a result, as soon as Ji's side provoked her, she immediately fell for it... She came by herself It’s just such a stupid thing! The Ai family wanted to teach her back earlier, but now it seems that they can’t, so I can only ask you to take a look at the face of the Ai family and the emperor, don’t be angry with her!”

"Don't worry, Ai's family will be called to reprimand her later!"

Yun Fenghuang thought in his heart that it was different when he was employing people.

When Yuan Niangniang was confused, when did Queen Mother Yuan deal with the aftermath so quickly?

Not to mention promising to teach this niece a lesson?

"Don't worry." She persuaded the Queen Mother Yuan with a smile, "I didn't take it seriously at first. In fact, Mrs. Chunke went to Xuanqing Palace to congratulate my concubine yesterday, and I was already very flattered. She originally You and His Majesty are the ones who are on the top of your heart. These years have been hard enough, and you can't let it go, and I can understand it. When you entered the palace because you wanted to be a concubine, weren't you also confused? At that time, you I also forgave my concubine, who is just reciprocating, how can I argue with her?"

"And today, Mrs. Chunke didn't say anything or do anything."

"Prince Qi is her own flesh and blood. A good heir will go like that. Even a concubine who is a good mother and concubine feels distressed, let alone a biological mother?"

"Mother, the empress dowager specifically picked this matter up, it's like stabbing Mrs. Chunke in the heart, you say, who can stand it at that time?"

"Madam Chunke has already restrained herself very much. If she changes her concubine's temper, I'm afraid she will get messed up if she doesn't do it on the spot."

"So the empress dowager must never talk about Mrs. Chunke again. Even if she is called to the Spring Palace, it is better to comfort her."

"You think Mrs. Chunke has been in the Huzhu Palace for a long time, and now she is finally willing to come out. If we talk about her now, what if she stays in the palace again? She is still young now, and she can't always be like this in the future gone."

Regardless of whether these words are sincere or not, they are always heart-warming.

Empress Dowager Yuan tightened her hand subconsciously, with water in her eyes, her voice choked with sobs: "Good boy...you are such a good boy! It was the Ai family who mistreated you. After all, the emperor's son You have a better vision than Aijia!"

"Your Majesty, don't say that. The grievances between the concubine and Mrs. Chunke cannot all be blamed on Mrs. Chunke. It is also because the concubine is not gentle and docile enough, fails to restrain herself and tolerate, but is quite provocative... and there is a difference between closeness and estrangement, Chunke Madame is your niece, so it's only natural that you prefer her." Yun Fenghuang's tone became more and more gentle, "Being my heart, I also have a niece. Although Meng'er is still young, it's not time to talk about marriage. , but the concubine thought, if she leaves the cabinet in the future, if she argues with other women, even if she is wrong and they are right, I am afraid that the concubine will not be able to do so. Excuse me, the empress is actually very fair."

She pursed her lips in embarrassment and smiled, "Please don't say this to the outside, otherwise the outside will definitely say that the concubine's background is really humble and her family style is not right."

Empress Dowager Yuan didn't like Xie Meng very much before. One was that when Xie Meng was taken into the palace to be raised, she didn't like Yun Fenghuang anymore, so she couldn't help but also didn't like Xie Meng. The second was that she felt that San Gong No one in the Sixth Hospital took the niece of her parents' natal family to be raised in the palace. Yun Fenghuang's move seemed to her to be pampered and to make an exception.

But at this moment, Yun Fenghuang compared himself with Xie Meng's aunt and nephew, which made the Empress Dowager Yuan feel sympathetic: both of them had no fate of children, and they all sat in high positions by relying on their own wrist ability, all because of their incompetence. Out of it, I can only send love to my niece and adopted son.

The queen mother sighed, and said: "People's hearts are not a steelyard. How can everything be fair? If this is considered a family tradition, there is really no one in the world that is honest."

After Yun Fenghuang left that day, Empress Dowager Yuan asked Zhan Liu: "Concubine Xian's niece sent out of the palace to reunite with her mother, when can she bring her back?"

Zhan Liu thought for a while, and said: "I didn't hear that, the girl was seriously ill because her mother was pregnant again, so Concubine Xian sent her back so that her mother could comfort her. I have to wait until it's safe over there. Will it be sent back?"

"When she comes back to the palace, remind Aijia." The Queen Mother Yuan said, "Send some things that little girls like."

Dip willow should be down.

The Empress Dowager sighed again, and said: "Aijia actually knows that Concubine Xian's words may not be sincere, but look at the girls of the generation in Xingningbo's residence... Aijia is really sad. The Xie family is worse than the Yuan family. With so many, how can we teach such talents?"

"No matter how outstanding Concubine Xian is, she is still your junior after all." Zhan Liu comforted, "And without His Majesty's praise, without your approval, how could she be where she is today?"

Empress Dowager Yuan was finally dispirited, and said: "Forget it, go and call Niang Niang over. The Ai family wants to ask, what is she thinking? She doesn't want to let go of her figure, so she stays in the Dendrobium Palace and complains. What face is she showing? Why does she just do these stupid things?"

... Empress Dowager Yuan's headache, Yun Fenghuang naturally left the house alone, anyway, the aunt and nephew can't do anything to her now.

Whether Yuan Lianniang came to her senses and planned to struggle again, or she was disheartened and had some decisive thoughts, Yun Fenghuang was not afraid anymore.

She returned to the Huanhua Hall with a normal expression, and as usual asked someone to hug and tease Gongxiang Rang Gongxiang for a while, and felt that she had fulfilled the responsibility of a loving mother, so she waved her hand to let the wet nurse take the children back to the side hall.

Followed by swiping back left and right, sitting alone in the empty hall in a daze.

From that time when he was forced to give up and fly away with Qi Jiulu by death, Yun Fenghuang knew that it was impossible to continue between the two of them.

However……

Knowing that his life is dying, but still being implicated by him, how could it be possible for her to stand by and watch?

But what can she do?

It seems like nothing can be done and nothing can be done. Even if you send someone to visit on your behalf, it's impossible.

The servants were all arranged by the Jiang family, and within a year of getting along with her, it was Jiang's instruction that the Qing people would tell her the news, so the Qing people absolutely refused to run away.

As for the other palace people...

Maybe he will obey, but he is more likely to betray her.

How about... contact Gong Xiangxiao?

This thought was suppressed by Yun Fenghuang himself as soon as it came up, because she also lacked a person who listened to her wholeheartedly to connect with.

Moreover, it is hard to say whether the regent has a role in this matter.

Otherwise, Qi Jiulu was born in Cuiyuan in the Prince Regent's Mansion anyway, and suffered such a big loss, why didn't he hear the Prince Regent's move?

Yun Fenghuang smiled bitterly, she is now the virtuous concubine second only to the empress in the harem, favored by the emperor, with both sons and daughters, and servants like clouds, there are countless people in the Sangong and Six Courtyards who are in awe and favour, and can relieve the king's worries He can mediate among the empress dowagers, the empress dowagers, the parents of the Enze family, and the sons, daughters and nephews... But he can only listen to the news of that person secretly, not daring to reveal the slightest.

Nothing to do, but also indifferent.

Do you regret it?

Emotionally, he regretted it, and even had the urge to see him regardless.

But Yun Fenghuang knew clearly that if given another chance, she would still reject him.

Still going the way it is today.

So the torment at this moment is actually a bit hypocritical in all fairness - this is her own choice, so what right does she have to be mixed?

Sitting for a long time, twisting and twisting the silk handkerchief between her fingers, she finally thought of someone.

Someone who might help, and who wouldn't betray her.
