Chapter 86: Prepare for Danger in Times of Peace

Looking at Princess Jinyun who was slightly embarrassed in the silence in front of her, Yun Fenghuang felt a little embarrassed.

She prides herself on being eloquent, but after beating a mandarin duck, she still has to persuade others to think about marrying someone honestly and according to the emperor's request... It's really a bit inhuman.

"Your Highness is much lighter than before." After thinking about it, and comforting himself since entering the palace, Yun Fenghuang bit the bullet and said, "But something is on your mind?"

Princess Jinyun pursed her lips and remained silent.

Yun Fenghuang then continued to bite the bullet and ask warmly: "But did the offerings in the palace be neglected? Or is it that His Royal Highness's jade body is against harmony?"

The princess finally spoke this time: "Concubine Xian, you are worrying too much, there is no negligence in making offerings in the palace, and I am not feeling well either."

"I still remember when I first met Your Highness." Yun Fenghuang took a sip of tea, and smiled calmly, "Your Highness's beautiful appearance, golden appearance and jade quality are really eye-catching."

Princess Jinyun was indifferent to this, and only said: "Concubine Xian is over-reputed. Compared with you, what is my beauty?"

Yun Fenghuang was patient. After asking her for a while, he saw that this person was just perfunctory and didn't mean to talk deeply. After calculating the time, Wei Hengyan might not be able to delay Princess Penglai for too long, and he was too lazy to waste time, anyway. This is not her future sister-in-law, she could afford to offend her, so she cut straight to the point and asked: "Your Highness has been worrying a lot lately, could it be that the wedding is coming soon, so you are hesitant?"

The princess froze when she heard the words, opened her mouth slightly, and sighed for a moment, but said: "What did you say? The son-in-law is a talent carefully selected by the emperor, and he has known me since childhood in the palace of Taichu. It can be regarded as knowing the basics, so what is there to hesitate about?"

She intentionally emphasized the phrase "know the root and know the bottom", and Yun Fenghuang's thoughts changed, and she understood her knot, probably because she felt that Zheng Fengyu's background, how could she not know about her and Ji Minggan, so I am afraid that after the Lord Shang , will also be at odds with her face and heart.

This situation is very friendly to Yun Fenghuang, it is better than this golden branch and jade leaf who still misses Ji Minggan and does not want to marry Zheng Fengyu.

He said gently: "Even so, there are differences between monarchs and ministers."

When Princess Jinyun heard this, tears came down, and she choked up and said: "Who doesn't know this truth? But the law is nothing more than human feelings. No matter how much the emperor and the concubine feel sorry for me, the son-in-law will treat me at a respectful distance in the future. The two of you can't suppress him." Be considerate of me? You can only blame me for being a concubine, and I can't help myself."

Yun Fenghuang sensed that there was something in these words, so he asked more questions.

The princess looked as if the past was unbearable, and she was "unbearable to be asked", so she revealed a little inside information, but she said euphemistically that the so-called spending the night alone with Ji Minggan when she was in the palace last year was not a thing at all. "...Although I am acquainted with Mr. Ji, it is all because of my aunt. I have always treated him as his elder brother in my heart, and there is no other meaning. After all, the concubine Xian should also understand that sister Minghui treats him Always... no matter how young and ignorant I am, I won't be able to rob my sister-in-law."

"That time, I went out with my aunt to pray for blessings. How could I have a private meeting with him and spend the night in the wild?!"

Princess Jinyun had a sad expression on her face, "That night, the maids I grew up with stayed in the Taoist temple well. When the sky was about to dawn, the queen mother suddenly brought someone to watch us, and then we were unable to communicate with the outside world. I didn’t know until I got back to the palace that the rumors were flying all over the sky, and my court ladies were also given to death one after another... At the moment, the people around me are all given by the queen mother later... I... I was really afraid that I could only go down like this Ji's..."

"After all, that is the person my sister has loved for many years. I... If I marry him, even if I can't help myself, how can my sister feel better?"

"My sister-in-law has always been very kind to me, I am determined not to do that."

"I was thinking at the time, if the decree of marriage really goes down, then I would rather die than ruin my relationship with my sister-in-law!"

"Fortunately, the emperor's brother suppressed this matter later... From that day on, the concubine mother prayed for the emperor's brother in the room every day, and thanked him for saving her from the pain of a white-haired man sending a black-haired man."

"That's why, this time, the concubine mother said that I must let the emperor choose a title for me, so that the emperor's blessing will protect me more."

Yun Fenghuang was both surprised and furious, first comforted her with gentle words, asked some details, and seeing Princess Jinyun's fluent answers, she was very angry and scolded the Empress Dowager Ji and the Ji family for being shameless, that even golden branches and jade leaves dared to calculate like this... ... At the end is a promise, and I will definitely seek justice for her in front of Chunjia!

Sending off Princess Jinyun in this way, Zhu E, who was serving tea and water, couldn't help but said: "The Ji family is too much, the first emperor has only such a little flesh and blood, how dare they behave like this! The mother, the empress dowager, is not afraid of the future. After going down to the underworld, do you have no face to see the late emperor?"

"Do you also believe such one-sided words?" Yun Fenghuang sneered when he heard the words, and said, "Didn't you see that when Bengong asked for details, the princess just opened her mouth without thinking? Do you know how many times you have rehearsed with Wu Taipin in private? It's just that the mother and daughter intend to join His Majesty, and because it is a foregone conclusion to surrender Zheng's son, and Zheng's son is very aware of the beginning and end of Jinyun Princess and Ji Minggan, and they are afraid of the princess after marriage. Being left out in the cold is just an excuse to clear myself up."

"Anyway, do you think His Majesty will confront his mother, the Empress Dowager, regarding the current relationship with the Ji family?"

The point is, even if Chunjia went to confront her, would he trust Queen Mother Ji?

Zhu E was stunned and said: "Then this princess is really with Ji Minggan? Then she is quick to move on!"

"Who knows?" Yun Fenghuang said indifferently, "I reckoned that she might not be completely innocent, but she was more or less deceived. After all, the rumors were heard by everyone in the palace. At that time, I had doubts." , How could such a thing happen to the golden branch and jade leaf, and the queen mother didn't help suppress it, but spread it everywhere? Aren't you afraid of hurting the reputation of the other two princesses?"

As for Princess Jinyun's empathy, Yun Fenghuang did not agree, "Ji Minggan was young and flirtatious, and the princesses have never seen many men in the deep palace, and the ones who have had the most contact since childhood are the companions of His Majesty. That Ji Minggan really likes to tease Princess Jinyun, it's normal for Princess Jinyun to have some affection for him, but it's overthinking when it comes to being unwavering."

"At that time, the Ji family was strong, and His Majesty would have to stay away."

"No matter what Princess Jinyun thinks in her heart, how would she dare to compete with Princess Minghui? Even if the empress dowager disapproves, if Princess Minghui doesn't give up, she can't show such thoughts."

"She doesn't even dare to get along with Ji Minggan in private, so as not to arouse the jealousy of Princess Minghui... So even if she is floating on Ji Minggan's few words of teasing, how deep can she go?"

"Later, His Majesty came to be in charge, and the Ji family was in a bad situation. Even if Princess Jinyun still misses Ji Minggan, Wu Taipin will make her sober."

"The concubine is just such a daughter, even if she is a concubine, at least she is the blood of Emperor Xiaozong, as long as she doesn't risk her life, she can be prosperous and rich for a lifetime, and she can also benefit future generations... How could she be allowed to go into this muddy water for the sake of a little girlishness? "

Yun Fenghuang took a sip of the tea, and said calmly, "However, the concubine can be regarded as sure of His Majesty's mind, no matter whether this matter is true or not, and how much is true or what is not, His Majesty will definitely believe it anyway."

Because this is a reason to settle accounts with Empress Dowager Ji in the future.

Mrs. Chun Jia needs this kind of excuse to attack her mother, the empress dowager.

Therefore, regardless of whether it was the real Empress Dowager Ji who conspired to give birth to a princess, or whether Princess Jinyun's mother and daughter blamed Empress Dowager Ji for their future future, Chunjia would agree that Empress Dowager Ji was the culprit.

Sure enough, looking back, Yun Fenghuang told Chunjia about the matter. Chunjia didn't even ask the details, and said that Empress Dowager Ji had gone too far. Originally, there were not many children, and there were only three princesses in total. As the first spouse of Xiaozong, not to mention helping the three children even more after her husband left, and helping her natal nephew to calculate the princess's innocence, regardless of the royal reputation, she Is Ji Sheng the daughter-in-law of the Gongxiang family, or has he always thought of himself as the daughter of the Ji family? !

Yun Fenghuang calmly persuaded him to appease his anger: "Ji's infidelity and injustice are obvious to all. Your Majesty is a sage king. You will have a bright future, so why should you have the same knowledge as such a villain? Humans must not be able to bear this kind of blessing, although because of the elders, His Majesty is not willing to speak out, but for a long time, are you afraid that the spirits of the former emperors in heaven will be indifferent and not repay?"

"Not to mention that there is no impenetrable wall in the world, the empress mother and empress dowager's actions are against human ethics and righteousness. If it is spread, it is fair and comfortable!"

After all, it's all Princess Jinyun's one-sided words now, and there is no evidence, so it's not easy to argue with Queen Mother Ji.

The most important thing is that the matter between Princess Jinyun and Ji Minggan was suppressed by Chunjia as soon as it came out, and took advantage of the situation to ask for the right to decide the marriage of the three princesses, so this princess was promised to Zheng Fengli as a show of favor. At this moment, it is impossible to take down the Empress Dowager Ji in one fell swoop and directly expose her romantic affair with Ji Minggan. Even if the official refute the rumor that the princess is innocent, it will not be able to suppress the gossip in the market, and talk about it with golden branches and jade leaves. .

When the time comes, will the gift of marriage be a favor or a slap in the face to the Zheng family?

Even if Chunjia didn't feel sorry for her sister, it wouldn't be worthwhile to settle the score.

So I can only scold the Empress Dowager Ji for venting her anger in private, and wait for the opportunity to turn over the old account in the future——Sure enough, when Yun Fenghuang said so, Chunjia went downhill, sighed and said that Jinyun has been greatly wronged, and the important thing in life Empress Dowager Ji cheats on this concubine daughter like this, let alone daily life?

It's no wonder that he always felt that although the three imperial sisters were all golden branches and jade leaves, Jinyun Penglai took Ming Hui as the head in everything since childhood, even though Ming Hui was the least dexterous among the three princesses.

The co-authors of these two sisters have been suppressed and restrained by the Empress Dowager Ji!

Yun Fenghuang sneered secretly, when Xin Dao Bengong just entered the palace, that's not what you said about your three imperial sisters.

At that time, you were quite proud that the three younger sisters got along in harmony.

Besides, Minghui is both the elder sister and the heir, so the two younger sisters take her as the head, isn't it just in line with the rules?

It can only be said that the emperor's heart changes so quickly.

Of course, she was very agreeable to Chunjia, and stayed with him for a long time feeling that it was difficult for a concubine, even for a princess, and then she praised Chunjia for being a good emperor brother. He ended up killing himself. He opposed the act of bestowing the princess on Ji Minggan and changing her to Zheng Fengli that day. It was like saving one-third of Xiaozong's own flesh and blood, and also saved Wu Taipin's life. .

Even Emperor Xiaozong under Jiuquan would be very grateful to see his heir benevolent and kind.

Although she knew that she was flattering on purpose, Chunjia listened happily and was extraordinarily tender.

Even though Yun Fenghuang was meeting with Guishui these two days, and advised him to go to the side hall to face the concubine, Chunjia refused outright, preferring to spend the night by her side. Jia asked the imperial physician to be summoned, hugged her to comfort her, and stayed with her for half the night before falling asleep drowsily.

When I got up the next day, the servants were all happy, saying that the emperor really cared for his wife.

But Yun Fenghuang frowned, pulled the Qing people and said privately: "I'm afraid His Majesty is worried about us. If you have time, let Brother Twenty-One enter the palace and have a talk with me."

The Qing people were at a loss: "Why does your empress have such an idea?"

Isn't Your Majesty showing favor and favor to us Huanhua Palace?

Where do you see that you are worried?
