Chapter 88 First Arrival at the Palace
Of course, Chunjia couldn't accept Empress Ji's proposal, after all, the safety of Shun Jieyu's mother and son is so important to him that he has a useful favorite concubine?
So he refused straight away, saying that the eldest prince and Princess Zhaoqing are still young and cannot be separated from the concubine's care. The palace city is extremely hot, and the two heirs must be taken to the palace to escape the summer heat. How could such a young heir go out without the concubine's mother? reason?
Empress Ji proposed to let other people take care of it. For example, Concubine Rui and Mrs. Yaoning, don't they also raise the little prince? Could Concubine Xian not trust these two?
The empress came and argued with each other, and finally Yun Fenghuang got impatient and stood up and said, "Empress, I think it's inappropriate for you or the concubine to stay in the palace. After all, we have never given birth. People, what rules can I give to Shun Jieyu? It's better to keep two imperial physicians who are available for use. Besides, we will not be in the palace when the time comes, and the two empress dowagers can't move left and right, aren't they all in the palace city? ?”
"If you're worried, just invite the female officials from the two palaces to sit in the Tongxia Palace at that time."
"Concubine Xian is right." Chun Jia immediately backed her up and clapped her hands, "The empress has no children under her knees, and she has never even raised an imperial heir. This kind of thing should be far away."
This is almost to say that Empress Ji has no heirs, and even Queen Cheng Fushen couldn't help but change his face, so he kowtowed and pleaded guilty, saying that she was guilty of not being able to give birth to Chunjia's son for many years because of her wedding. That's why she attached so much importance to Shun Jieyu's child.
Although Chunjia didn't believe this reason at all, it was not good to punish her for it, so she let her go back after knocking a few words lightly.
So everyone thought that this matter was just exposed. Who knew that two days before the departure, all the concubines went to Yanfu Palace to pay their respects as usual, and finally, on the way to Mianfu Palace in Fengfeng's car, the palace man who was carrying the phoenix accidentally slipped Slipped and fell, abruptly throwing the queen out of the phoenix chariot!
The queen's fall not only scratched her whole body and even her cheeks in many places, but even directly injured her legs, which was not good for walking.
Of course, such a big event immediately alarmed the former dynasty and the harem. After hearing the news, Chunjia was very angry, thinking that it must be a trick played by Empress Ji to stay in the palace city during the summer vacation. He didn't ask the teacher to inquire about the crime, but he was dragged by the Empress Dowager Ji to sue, saying that he suspected that someone had murdered the empress.
She was not suspicious for no reason, because everyone was shocked after the phoenix chariot fell, Yun Fenghuang took the lead to call down her chariot, went up to check the queen's condition, summoned the imperial physician and notified everyone, waited a while Busy sending the queen back to Yanfu Palace to lie down, Empress Dowager Ji rushed over to greet her with a few warm words, and when she learned how the queen was injured, she became furious and wanted to take the palace man who carried the chariot to question her.
As a result, at this time, someone was sent to spread the news, saying that several palace officials had died quietly in the apse.
If only a few palace servants died, it could be understood as committing suicide in fear of crime, but the eight palace servants who carried the chariot disappeared together, so who can not think too much about it?
The Empress Dowager Ji was so furious: "The Empress Dowager is still here, and Aijia is not dead yet! Someone reached out to the middle palace, is there any law?!"
Although, Chunjia still felt that the aunt and nephew had colluded to act, so she was not very enthusiastic. She said a few perfunctory words with a wooden face, saying that she would arrange a thorough investigation by the Imperial City Secretary, and then found an excuse to leave.
And Yun Fenghuang carefully accompanied him in Yanfu Palace for a while, and then left quickly.
When the imperial concubine met at Huanhua Hall, Chunjia asked, "What's going on?"
"Looks like the empress is out of luck." Yun Fenghuang snorted and said with a smile, "The concubine follows the order, and the way to Mianfu Palace is only behind the phoenix chariot. Because it's hot today, I walk under the curtain of the chariot. Rolled up, so it can be clearly seen that the empress did fall out of the phoenix chariot because the palace man who carried the chariot slipped and fell. The sudden fall of her was not light! Apart from other things, if the scratch on her face is not well maintained, Maybe there will be scars."
He also said, "As for the people in the palace slipping and falling, it is said that they stepped on something... But at that time, a group of people jumped up and surrounded the empress to look after them. When people asked about this, they couldn't find anything. .”
There is no way, because next to it is a lotus pond, which is already full of lotus flowers and leaves in this season, and there are many aquatic plants, so it is the most convenient for hiding things.
She said, "The concubine in the lotus pond also asked someone to salvage it just now, to see if I could find any clues, but after so long, I'm afraid I can only resign myself to fate... I was thinking, the empress is so determined to stay, What's on your mind?"
Although the Empress Dowager Ji was still angrily denouncing the murderer who planned the empress, Chunjia and Yunfenghuang all agreed that this matter was directed and performed by Ji.
It's not that they are used to blame the Ji family, but because the Ji family has a deep background in the harem, if they can't even protect their own queen, can Chunjia still have such a headache?
If the palace people in other palaces made a mistake and hurt the queen, it can still be said that someone stood in line and Chunjia attacked the queen first, but now it is the queen who made the mistake, those eight palace people who carried the chariot, Yun Fenghuang I have already asked, but I have been serving the queen since her wedding.
This kind of confidant can be bribed by others, what else is the Ji family doing?
Therefore, all the emperors and concubines felt that Ji's appearance was really ugly, and they didn't know how to find a reliable reason to find a reason.
But no matter how much they slandered in their hearts, it was definitely not good to force her to go to the palace together with the queen's appearance.
Chunjia was very unhappy, and at Yun Fenghuang's suggestion, she simply left two members of the Imperial City Department in Yanfu Palace, under the guise of fearing that the queen would suffer another misfortune, to keep an eye on the Central Palace—Ji Muzi's place was the same same treatment.
Ji Muzi is also one of the concubines staying behind in Miyagi, after all, the reason why she became a concubine is to pray for the two empress dowagers...
Those two empress dowagers are staying in the imperial capital to recuperate, so she, a blessing, can't follow the emperor to the palace to escape the summer heat?
After arranging the annoying Ji sisters, the emperor embarked on the road to escape the summer in a bad mood.
This year's summer vacation is much smoother than last year's, mainly because there is no case of Zheng Fengzhang blocking Shengjia's itinerary.
After arriving at the Qishan Palace in peace all the way, disputes arose on the first day: because the palace was flooded at the beginning of the year, the Empress Dowager, the Empress Dowager, the Lanzhou Yeyu Pavilion where Yun Fenghuang lived last year, and other buildings were demolished. For the ground, of course these few can no longer live in the old residence.
Fortunately, Qishan is vast, and there are many pavilions in the palace.
Moreover, Chunjia doesn't have enough head seats at present, and the vacant other courtyards can be used for distribution.
The problem is that although the locations of the pavilions in the palace are all carefully selected, it is recognized that there are only a few with the best views - Mrs. Manya Meng Youyi and Zhaoyuan Yuan Zhiniang.
Both of these two entered the palace at the beginning of the year and had never been to the palace.
Before setting off, Empress Ji promised them to choose a residence according to their status after they came. In the end, Mrs. Manya picked out first, and halfway through packing her luggage, she was a lively person, looking impatiently at the bottom People clean up, just go out to walk around.
Then I discovered that Yuan Zhiniang's place seemed to be better...
Why didn't she go farther to see more when she was choosing?
Although Meng Youyi and Yuan Zhiniang were concubines who entered the palace in the same batch, they were not from the same background, so there was no friendship. "Yefangyuan", simply opened the door and entered, and directly discussed with Yuan Zhiniang.
So it was rejected.
Yuan Zhiniang's reason was that she had almost packed everything, and it would be too noisy to change it at this time, and then don't disturb the giants above, or disturb the emperor's heirs and pregnant concubines... Then she can She couldn't afford it, and she didn't think Meng Youyi could afford it either.
There was actually nothing wrong with the words here. Although Meng Youyi was not happy, she still maintained the demeanor of a high-ranking concubine and left.
However, that night, Meng Youyi's valet heard the whistleblower, saying that after Mrs. Manya left, Yuan Zhiniang had someone take out Mrs. Manya's chair and chop firewood. She also said a lot of slanderous words, probably The famous Meng family is nothing more than that, there is no need to dirty her place...Meng Youyi is still in the regret of missing the place she likes, and she gets angry when she hears this!
She didn't fight right away, but sent someone to the Yefangyuan to inquire, and confirmed that the small kitchen of the Yefangyuan had indeed split the chairs in the main hall for firewood that night, and then angrily led the people to kill him. !
Meng Youyi, a concubine of a famous family, was born high and proud, and although she grew up, she also learned to be virtuous and virtuous under the guidance of the female school at home, but she had her own arrogance in her bones.
Originally, she didn't think highly of the Xingningbo mansion's shallow family background, and Yuan Zhiniang's move really angered her, so her subordinates were unambiguous - after rushing to Yefangyuan, they directly asked someone to arrest Yuan Zhiniang. Zhi Niang dragged into the courtyard and knelt down, and watched all the palace people not to move, went to the back kitchen to search for the burnt chairs, tortured the confession on the spot and asked her to press her fingerprints, and after a vigorous and resolute act, the evidence was as solid as a mountain, so... …Crying and rushing to borrow Yue Xiaozhu, where Yun Fenghuang lives now, to file a complaint.
"I beg your mother to be the master of my concubine!" Meng Youyi cried pear blossoms with rain, which was very touching, "Yuan Shi... she is really deceiving people!!!"
Yun Fenghuang was coaxing the child in the room, not very impatient to be disturbed, but after hearing the story, he regained his energy: "Where is Yuan Zhaoyuan? Have you brought it here?"
Of course Yuan Zhiniang was also pulled over, and she also cried as soon as she entered the door, letting Yun Fenghuang decide for her, saying that Meng Youyi was bullying others because of her status, and she was going back on her word to try to rob her of her apartment, so she fabricated a crime and framed her: "Meng's name The door, everyone in the world knows, how dare I talk about it behind my back? As for what happened to that chair, I don’t know at all! After all, I’m new here, how dare I damage the things in the palace at will?”
He also crazily hinted that both she and Meng Youyi were newcomers who just entered the palace this year. It was their first time to come to the palace, and her own eyes were smeared. Meng Youyi could know the Yefangyuan where she just lived in better than her new master. What is going on here, I believe that the wise and sensible concubine Xian will be able to see it!
Yun Fenghuang persuaded on both sides with a pleasant air, and fanned the flames on both sides, thinking in his heart how to deal with this matter?
