Chapter 67 Concubine Yunxian

After a long while, the concubines headed by the empress were in a mess in the Spring Palace.

"Concubine Xian." Seeing Yun Fenghuang rushing over with two beautiful concubines, Empress Ji nodded slightly and said, "You came just in time. Mother Yuan fainted on the spot when she heard the bad news. Although His Majesty was already inside, I can't get away either...but this is a big matter, Empress Qu's side can't be left alone, so why don't you take a look on my behalf?"

Yun Fenghuang didn't bother to be filial in front of Queen Mother Yuan at first, so he nodded when he heard the words: "I will pass now as a concubine."

He just didn't leave immediately, but pointed to Yi Xingen and Qu Hongzhuan who were behind him, "It's just that the loving mother Empress Dowager can't ignore her as a concubine, let them stay and serve."

Empress Ji glanced at it, and said casually: "You can arrange the people in your palace. But now that all the concubines are here, I'm afraid they won't be needed."

Originally, concubine's concubine's sickness was mostly on the surface—how could the majestic queen dowager lack manpower to serve her, and compared to these masters who were either from a high family background or from a humble background but were already used to being served by servants even as concubines, they used to There is no doubt that the valet who has been trained is more caring and trustworthy.

In the final analysis, the so-called sickness is not for the purpose of explaining filial piety to the outside world, or to take the opportunity to show face in front of the Queen Mother.

Therefore, where there are a lot of lords, there is no possibility of a concubine being in charge.

If Yun Fenghuang had been present by himself, he would naturally be at the top of the list when greeting the Empress Dowager. But she went to Jiashan Palace to take care of Empress Dowager Qu, and although the second concubine who remained was Chunjia's favorite, she was not qualified to compete with other concubines for the opportunity to show filial piety.

It is bound to be squeezed out, and I am afraid that even the empress dowager will not be able to enter the bedroom.

However, Yun Fenghuang took the second concubine to look for Wei Hengyan: "This palace is ordered by the empress to go to Jiashan Palace, the two of them will follow my sister first."

The voice lowered, "Yi Shi is someone who has been here, my sister's month is not stable now, if there is anything, you might as well ask her."

Wei Hengyan was accompanied by an aunt sent by his family, but of course he would not refuse Concubine Xian's kindness, so he hurriedly agreed, gratefully saying: "Thank you for your consideration, sister."

Yun Fenghuang patted the back of her hand and got up to leave, thinking that with Wei Hengyan's status and pregnancy, he must be able to enter the Queen Mother's bedroom. After that it must be a wallflower, nothing to do with them.

But it doesn't matter.

When they need to be promoted in the future, Yun Fenghuang can claim to the outside world that they have served the empress dowager on his behalf, so they should be rewarded and so on... Anyway, it won't hurt to take two people on such a trip.

"Why did you come to Ai's house?" Jiashan Palace is not far from Spring Palace, and the regulations are not bad, but there is a forgotten loneliness, which is not at all like the empress dowager's residence. glory.

Empress Dowager Qu has also received the bad news and "fell ill", so Yun Fenghuang who met on the sickbed, sighed when she saw her coming in, "Can the empress dowager be guarded by you?"

"Don't worry, empress, your majesty, empress, and concubines are all there." Yun Fenghuang was blessed, and sat on the embroidered stool that the palace man moved over silently, comforting softly, "Empress, don't worry. You are here, so I sent my concubine to take a look."

Empress Dowager Qu said softly: "Where is she worried about Ai's family? She deliberately pushed you away from the empress dowager loving mother. Later, someone will tell the empress dowager about your negligence in front of the empress dowager loving mother... You just sit down for a while and go to the Spring Palace. The Ai family will ask people to close the door of the bedroom, and they will say that the Ai family has taken medicine and fell asleep, and I am impatient with someone beside me, so I will let you go."

Yun Fenghuang thanked her for taking care of her, but shook his head: "Now is a very important time, the loving mother Empress Dowager will not believe it."

The point is that it's useless for Empress Dowager Yuan to believe her. As long as Chunjia is not stupid, even if she usually favors this loving empress dowager, how could it be possible for Empress Dowager Yuan to be confused and have a grudge against her capable and virtuous concubine? Shi fulfilled his wish?

"It's not a question of whether she believes it or not." Empress Dowager Qu shook her head, "Then Aijia and her will have to complain about illness, and you can only rely on yourself for everything in the harem. In this palace... Although those people from the Luo family are also facing His Majesty's , but after all, you are young and inexperienced, so it may not be of much use. So you must face Ji's alone..."

She lowered her voice, "It's not that the Ai family doesn't trust your ability, but, let alone two fists, four hands, if you can bear it, His Majesty will of course rely on you very much, others... may not be happy .”

"Although the Luo family are ambitious, they come from a noble family." Yun Fenghuang said softly, "In the end, they still care about the overall situation."

Even if they lost their heads, their father and brother in the previous dynasty would prevent them from ruining Chunjia's important affairs in order to intrigue with Yun Fenghuang at a critical moment, thus dragging down the family.

Empress Dowager Qu frowned slightly, because of her extremely beautiful face, she made this gesture very endearing, and said softly: "The Ai family is actually not worried about the Luo family, as you said, they come from a high family, this is Helping is also hindering. The current situation in the harem is related to the previous court. In order not to anger His Majesty, no matter how jealous they are, they dare not openly target you... But... Yuan's side is different."

Yun Fenghuang smiled and said: "Mother, it's not that I look down on Uncle Xingning's mansion, but the three Yuan family's younger sisters in the palace, I think that they can all live in peace."

It means that if they don't want to be quiet, she has her own means to make them quiet.

"Of course you can tell Chunke and the others to settle down." Queen Mother Qu looked at her, "But I'm afraid Mrs. Ji doesn't want to see this."

The smile on Yun Fenghuang's face faded a bit: "His Majesty has bestowed all the splendor and splendor of Uncle Xingning's residence. If the Yuan family has no sense of proportion, it would be too disappointing to His Majesty."

Empress Dowager Qu smiled lightly and said: "Although you were promoted quickly, you entered the palace late after all, so many things are unknown...Since His Majesty took charge, he has selected talented people and appointed loyal ones. ?”

"It's the harem, where a concubine and a concubine enter... In the end, it's just the face of the loving mother, the empress dowager!"

"..." Yun Fenghuang recalled the words he had threatened Yuan Niangniang when he first entered the palace, saying that Chunjia was still a puppet for eight years after he ascended the throne, and the Fuyang Yuan family might have exhausted their patience, and they might pull away and leave in order to prevent future misfortunes. Even the plan to sell Chunjia... well... I forgot about it after a lot of things happened.

So, did she even guess and make up the truth?

During the eight years of Chunjia's dormancy, the Yuan family did indeed do something wrong to Chunjia, so that Chunjia had a rift with the original relatives and kinsmen. In front of Garn?

Yun Fenghuang thought to himself, this is probably because the Yuan family doesn't have any outstanding characters.

After all, Chunjia is not the kind of person who is so narrow-minded that he doesn’t reuse it when others make him unhappy, he is the kind of person who uses it first if he has talent, and disposes of it when it is useless... …

Seeing her pondering, Empress Dowager Qu smiled again, and said: "These words, the Ai family cannot tell His Majesty. Even with people other than you, you can't mention it. If the Ai family is like this, other people around Your Majesty, I'm afraid It's almost the same... After all, it's the mother's family of the loving mother empress dowager. And the kind mother empress dowager is a person who unconsciously pities the weak..."

A touch of sarcasm appeared on the beautiful face of the Holy Mother, "Of course, what she pity is only the people she cares about who she thinks are weak...in the past it was Your Majesty, then it was Chun Ke, and now it is Yuan Shi...she probably doesn't care. If she realizes it, she won’t tell His Majesty, she will only find a way to solve it by herself. But since she can’t do that, how can she solve it?”

"Although Ai's family came from a humble background, she is a woman without so much insight, but she also knows that if there is something wrong with what His Majesty is going to do next, it may be..."

Empress Dowager Qu exhaled, and looked at Yun Fenghuang, "So, you are the only one to do this. Beware of the Yuan family, and also, beware of the loving mother Empress Dowager, huh?"

Yun Fenghuang raised his eyes and looked at her for a moment, but he didn't answer the words, but said: "Empress Dowager, since you are ill, the two imperial heirs who were entrusted to you to be raised before may be powerless. I don't know, what are you going to do?"

"Since Ai's family is a patient now, how can we spare the energy to worry about this matter?" Queen Mother Qu said calmly, "It happens that you are here, Concubine Xian, why don't you help Ai's family with an idea?"

"Your Majesty has an order, how dare you disobey?" Yun Fenghuang smiled lightly, "The rules of the harem of the imperial court, when the status of the mother of the emperor's heir is not enough, it should be raised by the concubine without an heir first, and her status is from high to low. It's just Empress empress status is precious, and the relationship between the sons and daughters is very important, these two imperial heirs, it is better not to disturb Yanfu Palace."

"Below is the concubine's body, but the concubine's body has sons and daughters, so naturally it is not easy to compete with the sisters."

"Because the Luo family and Ouyang family were demoted, the concubine position is vacant. Of the two wives, Mrs. Yaoning is slightly older and she is stable and reliable. She might as well raise the third prince."

"Mrs. Manya is young and has an out-of-the-way temperament. I'm afraid it's inappropriate."

"Mrs. Chun Ke's parent and child died, it is unavoidable that the Huzhu Palace is a bit unlucky, and the prince is young, I am afraid that it will hurt the scene, it is better to rule it out."

"Although there are elderly concubines among the nine concubines, the emperor's heirs are rare, and they cannot all take care of the elderly."

"Why don't you just entrust the second prince to Ouyang Xiurong's care?"

Empress Dowager Qu smiled slightly, and said in a weary voice: "Concubine Xian's words are very reasonable, so let's do it like this. After a while, Ai's family rests, and you help Ai's family go back to the loving mother, the Empress Dowager, and Your Majesty, how about it? "

Yun Fenghuang smiled and bowed: "Thank you, Niang Niang, for your success."

... After a while, he stepped out of Jiashan Palace, and Zhu E asked in a low voice: "Your Majesty, Mrs. Yao Ning has a close relationship with the Regent, and Ouyang Xiurong's grandfather is being used by His Majesty. At this time, the three princes and the four princes will be handed over to each other. Are they raising them, afraid that there will be disasters in the future?"

"If you can't pass this test, will your mother have a future?" Yun Fenghuang frowned and sighed softly, "Because these two have backers, I want to entrust the twin princes to them to be raised. You have been thinking about this matter, but don't bother me, let me think about it, and what I will say about these things when I see His Majesty later."

After all, this Zhu E is young, and she still can't see far enough.

I only thought of Gu Zhen and Ouyang Fulu's identities and family backgrounds. After they got the prince, they might become a threat in the future. I didn't want Ji to put so much effort in tying up Queen Mother Yuan, Queen Mother Qu, and using Qi Jiulu to threaten Yun Fenghuang. When he was so concerned about the harem when he was young, maybe it was a crazy idea-to kill the king directly!

After all, no matter how wise and powerful Chunjia was, she was still young, and the three princes under her knees were all still in their infancy.

As long as he does something on his own, Mrs. Ji doesn't have to do anything, just wait to support the young master and continue to be that lonely and important minister.

Although Chunjia now has some available people in his hands, Ji can't be killed if he wants to, but he is not afraid of 10,000 but just in case, how can Yun Fenghuang not be on guard?

Therefore, taking advantage of Queen Mother Qu's "illness", the second prince was assigned to Ouyang Fulu, and the third prince was handed over to Gu Zhen. In this way, it would be best if nothing happened to Chunjia.

Once the emperor has three ups and two downs, Yun Fenghuang doesn't think that the current Xie family and himself can support a regent empress dowager!

Even if the eldest prince under her knees has a foreign family like the Duke of Yi's mansion, it's not okay - firstly, the relationship between her and the Duke of Yi's mansion is hard to say, and secondly, the eldest prince is only recorded under the name of Concubine Shu, but not of Concubine Shu's flesh and blood. Well, Duke Yi's mansion may take care of Concubine Shu for the sake of concubine Shu, but to the extent of taking care of the fate of the family... forget it.

Yun Fenghuang was not so naive.

In this way, if Chunjia goes, and the eldest prince wants to compete for the throne, won't her adoptive mother die quickly?

On the contrary, the second prince and the third prince are from the blood of Ji's first daughter!

So can you not find them two concubines whose family background is enough to overwhelm their biological mother's natal family?

The regent behind Gu Zhen, and Ouyang Yanran behind Ouyang Fulu, are both able to withstand the pressure of the Ji family and support a queen mother who will take over the government behind the curtain of the young master—with such an arrangement, the Ji family has to weigh it before taking action So, eradicating Chunjia, will it benefit the two parties?

Moreover, Yun Fenghuang deliberately asked Gu Zhen to raise the third prince, but handed over the second prince who was born first to Ouyang Fulu.

After all, the regent king is more powerful than Ouyang Yanran, but according to the order of seniority, the second prince is above the third prince... In short, the Ji family either does not intend to do this, or else, even if they succeed, Yun Fenghuang will guarantee They are in trouble!

Of course, the most important thing is that if these two parties join in to fight for the throne, the Ji family may not have the time to settle accounts with Concubine Yun Xian, then Yun Fenghuang will come out with the eldest prince in his arms to find a reason to give up the fight for the throne, so that the eldest prince will be granted the feudal title The king, as a concubine, took the youngest son and daughter to go out to the feudal domain, and the possibility of staying out of the matter is still very high.

Concubine Yunxian did what she said, if Chunjia died, she would definitely avenge him with a long-term plan to keep his heir!

...After all, once she became the concubine of the late emperor, how could she be a happy concubine without an heir?
