Chapter 10 It Feels so Good to Be the Master of the House!

Because the main concubine Yue was still under confinement, Yun Fenghuang took Nian Xuan to Tongxia Palace after tidying up.

"You take it easy later." Concubine Shu immediately let her in after hearing the report, and told her while dressing up, "The queen originally planned to arrange for the first servant in Zhaoyuan Palace, and I have already said hello. , but His Majesty suddenly said that he wanted to see you... I don’t know what kind of temperament the beauty Xue has just entered the palace, and her position is not an easy one.”

An ordinary court lady, Ji Zhaoyuan, might not be so concerned. The key point is that this Xue family, who was named a beauty for the first time like Yun Qingman, not to mention her father and brother are powerful, and she is Ji Zhaoyuan's cousin in terms of blood relationship. high.

Yun Fenghuang's face was full of grievances: "I didn't expect His Majesty to go to Xi Xingxuan yesterday... I can't tell Your Majesty not to go either!"

Then he stared at Concubine Shu eagerly, and said pitifully, "Mother, you must protect your concubine when the time comes, Zhaoyuan is one of the nine concubines, and she is also the cousin of the empress, if you want to embarrass the concubine If you want to commit a crime, don’t you have no reason to suffer?”

Seeing Concubine Shu nodded in agreement, she smiled contentedly, and secretly thought that she did not go directly to Yanfu Palace, but came to Tongxia Palace first to drag Concubine Shu as a shield, which is so clever!

They are nominal sisters who don't have many topics in common. After Yun Fenghuang achieved her goal, she kept silent with a cute posture. After a while, Yun Qingman came over after tidying up, and she was happy to see her: "Fenghuang, are you here? How are you?" ? Did Concubine Yue embarrass you yesterday?"

"Yesterday, on the way back, I happened to meet someone from the empress empress who escorted many palace servants from the Ningbi Palace away, which frightened me and Nianxuan." Yun Fenghuang glanced at the bronze mirror not far away, and the mirror reflected Seeing Concubine Shu's graceful and luxurious face, without the slightest fluctuation, she smiled a little, trying to suppress her gloating look, "I don't know if it's because of this, but there has been no movement in Ningbi Palace since then."

Yun Qingman was stunned for a moment, and said worriedly: "This... Concubine Yue has been quiet for the time being, but will it get worse in the future?"

"Didn't Concubine Shu say it?" Yun Fenghuang said confidently, "Empress Dowager Yuan will definitely look at her, and after a while, maybe Concubine Shu will find a chance to transfer me to another palace It's over, right ma'am?"

Concubine Shu sat still, and said in a harmonious voice: "That's the reason, Qingman, don't worry about it."

Seeing what Yun Qingman wanted to say, Yun Fenghuang changed the topic: "By the way, when you greet me later, you have to help me block it." Then she said the reminder from Concubine Shu just now, "...I I never thought that His Majesty would go to my side yesterday, and I don't know how Ji Zhaoyuan and Xue Meiren will make things difficult for me."

Yun Qingman was furious: "They are all the daughters of everyone anyway, and the Ji family is even a descendant. Why don't they have any talent?"

Then he turned around and entangled Concubine Shu, asking her to promise to protect Yunfenghuang later.

Concubine Shu sighed and agreed, but she also resented that the two of them had such a good relationship: "It's like a real sister, but I'm compared to my real sister."

"No way, don't you know that my sister loves us!" Yun Qingman acted like a baby with her, "Besides, the three of us are sisters now... Sister, you are the best!"

In fact, it was not that she didn't know that Concubine Shu was not as affectionate to Yun Fenghuang as she was to herself, but Yun Fenghuang was her close friend and entered the palace in order to replace her.

Concubine Shu had just finished dressing, and was rubbed by this younger sister in her arms. Seeing that the hairpin loosened, she couldn't help crying and laughing. She nodded her forehead and scolded "little villain" with a smile. Let the maid come up to tidy up again, and finally had breakfast with the company of the two younger sisters... The table was full of beautiful things for breakfast, but Concubine Shu didn't move her teeth at all, and took a few mouthfuls of tea to rinse her mouth , looked at the copper leak in the corner of the hall: "It's about time, let's go!"

The concubines of Tongxia Palace had already gathered outside, but they didn't dare to enter the palace without Concubine Shu's permission. Now seeing Concubine Shu going out, they rushed up to pay respects.

Concubine Shu said a few words to them, mainly to greet the leading young concubines, and then boarded the chariot.

When the group arrived at Yanfu Palace, the palace servants went in to report and were quickly summoned by the queen.

At this moment, there are already many people here, and there is only one concubine Zheng and a group of concubines in the palace. Concubine Shu sat down on the queen's right hand, and after talking to the queen, the topic turned to Yun Fenghuang. On the body: "...Concubine Yue is currently under confinement. It is said that her palace people should not run around without your permission. But sister, you also know that your majesty rested in Xi Xingxuan yesterday. No, Yun Baolin didn't dare not come to thank him, so he found the Tongxia Palace in the early morning."

Empress Ji glanced at Yun Fenghuang when she heard the words, and saw that she was well-behaved, well-dressed and not ostentatious, and someone nearby told the new concubine the origin of the hairpin on her bun. The attitude was shown, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth: "He is a man who understands the rules."

He ordered people to reward him.

Yun Fenghuang hurriedly stepped forward and knelt down to thank him.

"It's a custom in the palace that if a newcomer takes care of His Majesty after being favored, he will be granted a promotion." Empress Ji said kindly, "Although Your Majesty hasn't spoken yet, seeing your pleasing appearance, I think Your Majesty No objection."

He promoted her to a level on the spot, making her a Chenggui of the sixth rank.

Seeing this, many of the concubines standing behind the main seat nearby showed expressions of envy, jealousy and hatred.

But a sixth-rank palace concubine is really nothing in front of big bosses like queens and concubines Shu, so after the queen finished speaking, she looked at Yun Fenghuang and kowtowed, and didn't even bother to talk about going through the motions. Behind him, he continued to chat with the high-ranking concubines.

The understated gesture reminded Yun Fenghuang of when she was still the apple of Xie's family, because she felt that there was a rough maid who could do things quickly, so she was promoted casually, but the other party knelt on the ground in ecstasy and kowtowed desperately to show her loyalty, but she no longer cared about it Turning around and leaving... If it wasn't for the replay of the scene today and the exchange of roles, she would have forgotten about it.

It feels so good to be in charge.

Yun Fenghuang thought from the bottom of his heart, it's a pity that his fate is too short, the flat road that was originally step by step died halfway, and now he can only work as a low-lying little girl in this palace.

And it seems that the days of being low-key and small will be very, very long...

I really feel sorry for myself just thinking about it.

"Yun Baolin." She still felt aggrieved, but someone felt that she was a little too complacent, and said slowly, "Oh no, it's Yun Chenggui, I heard that Chenggui's name is very interesting? "

The one who spoke was Ji Zhaoyuan, whom Concubine Shu had reminded her before. As one of Empress Dowager Ji's nieces and Empress Ji's cousin, she has eyebrows and eyes similar to those of Empress Dowager and Empress. The kind of woman who can tell at a glance that she is not a woman who cannot be supported by a wealthy family.

At this moment, he took an orange, peeled it slowly, and said in a low voice, "Yunfenghuang, isn't it?"

Yun Fenghuang narrowed his eyes.

Her boudoir name was given by her concubine sister Xie Fenghuan. Xie Fenghuan's boudoir name came from a line of praise from her biological father Xie Jian to her biological mother Qin Shi when she was passionately in love. After Xie Fenghuan was born, Xie Jian excitedly named her daughter this name as a souvenir.

Later, no one in the Xie family felt that this name was too weak and dusty, which was not very auspicious. However, in the prosperous Xie family, a concubine was not very conspicuous, so even if someone thought of it, they would not bother to mention it for her.

As for Xie Jian's regular wife, Yun Fenghuang's biological mother, Jiang Shi, she wanted to mention it but it was inconvenient to mention it. After all, she didn't know the origin of the name, and Qin Shi didn't say anything. What if she said that she was considered jealous?

Although it is said that Xie Fenghuan was raised by the Jiang family as her own daughter, there is a difference between her and Yun Fenghuang's own daughter. Jiang Shi didn't realize it, but when her own daughter was named, she did not care for her. With the sisters getting close, they decided to let their daughter be named after Xie Fenghuan, but specially chose the word "篁" to match the word "wind" with uncertain turnover.

Huang who, Zhutian also.

Bamboo has knots before it is unearthed, but it is lingering and open-minded. Its meaning has always been good, and it is easy to grow. After the spring rain, the bamboo shoots spring up all over the mountain... In Jiang's view, it is all kinds of satisfaction.

As for the homophony of "Fenghuang" under the connection of the two characters "Fenghuang", who would have thought that Yunfenghuang would enter the palace at that time?

The sky is high in the north, and the emperor is far away, and the awe of the royal family is not as strong as that of the capital city of Dijing, so the Xie family never considered this name as a taboo at all.

In fact, if Yun Fenghuang had always been the daughter of the Xie family, the front court and the harem would not feel that this name was a taboo. After all, where is the strength of the Xie family, what is there to be suspicious of? There are so many names of certain dragons and phoenixes among the people, but the imperial court has not seen them denounce and stop them.

But now that she is the daughter of the Yun family, Ji Zhaoyuan said: "Everyone knows that the Yun family is prominent, otherwise why would there be Concubine Shu and Yun Meiren here? It's just that the two boudoir names are not the same. Forget it, Yun Chenggui's boudoir name makes people think too much. Logically speaking, there shouldn't be such a problem with the name of a niece in the family for a veteran like Duke Yi, but I don't know if it was done on purpose. ?”

The meaning behind the words is that the Yun family covets the Phoenix Seat.

"Sister Zhaoyuan may have misunderstood." Concubine Shu explained with a smile, "Although Fenghuang's name is homonymous to Fenghuang, its original meaning is that the wind blows Huanglin. Speaking of which, the ancients recorded that Fenghuang is noble and pure. , this is actually bamboo rice. Even though the name Fenghuang is related to the Phoenix, it is just a prayer to serve meals for the queen sister."

It is only natural for a concubine of a wealthy family to serve the mistress for meals, and it is also a duty for the concubines to serve the queen in the harem.

Even with Yun Fenghuang's current level, being able to serve tea and pour water for the queen can be said to be a kind of gift that allows her to be close.

Concubine Shu resolved Ji Zhaoyuan's questioning with a few words, but Ji Zhaoyuan refused to give up, and handed the peeled orange to the empress above, took out the silk handkerchief in her sleeve and wiped her fingertips, and said with a half smile: "Sister Concubine Shu is really eloquent." , but although Yun Chenggui's boudoir name has no intention of offending Zhonggong, is it a bit of a collision?"

"Sister Zhaoyuan said the same thing." Concubine Shu felt that it was no big deal, so she nodded slightly - in her opinion, Yun Fenghuang's cleverness should immediately agree to change the name, and even begged the queen or herself Give a name.

As a result, Yun Fenghuang was silent for a while, then raised his head, but said: "My concubine secretly thinks that Empress Zhaoyuan's words are wrong."

Concubine Shu froze for a moment, and was about to speak out, when Ji Zhaoyuan turned her head abruptly, with a hasty movement, a gold-plated burnt blue inlaid agate precious flower pearl tassel swayed violently on her temples, refracting the fine light of stars, and Zhaoyuan's eyes The cold colors reflect each other, and the colder and more serious: "Oh?"

After she uttered such a syllable, annoyance flashed in her eyes quickly, because she felt that it was too condescending to respond to Yun Fenghuang in person in her own capacity!

Simply being sensible from left to right, he immediately scolded Yun Fenghuang: "The lowly servant girl is rude! My mother is talking to the concubine Shu. What are you, a little concubine, how dare you intervene?!"
