Treacherous Living in the Imperial Harem

Chapter 102 Let Gong

"Wang Linglai wants to marry Princess Kunze?" Yun Fenghuang frowned slightly, "Is this his own idea, or the Wang family's idea?"

The Qing people said in a low voice: "It should be that he himself and the Wang family have the same intention. After all, when he made a fuss, although His Majesty is still considering it at the moment, I also know that His Royal Highness Princess Minghui is unlikely to continue to demote him. .And... you think, since the Ji clan doesn't want him to be Princess Minghui's consort, since he can send a chaste woman to his couch, how can he know that he can't take something away in his sleep?"

"The Wang family has been rich for generations, and it's so easy to produce such a seed for reading. How can he be willing to let him take risks?"

Therefore, even if Chunjia is willing to make the decision for Wang Linglai and tell him to continue to be the princess, Wang Linglai will not dare.

But he gave up Shangzhu to give up Shangzhu, and still wanted to make a difference in the officialdom.

No, it was Princess Kunze's idea?

"This matter is not easy for me to accept." Yun Fenghuang pondered for a while, then shook his head slightly and said, "Princess Kunze is His Majesty's biological sister after all, just because of her status, there are no three princesses who are close to her now. But after all, the bones are broken and the tendons are connected. When His Majesty showed the three princesses their marriage earlier, he said that Princess Kunze is not in a hurry... Listening to the tone, it seems that she intends to keep the princess in the palace for a while. "

"I'm not sure about His Majesty's intentions, how can I be so loud as to ask Princess Kunze to agree?"

"When the time comes, His Majesty will be displeased, and my palace will suffer. Wouldn't it be good for Wang Linglai?"

The Qing people said: "Wang Ling came over there and said that because of the incident of a chaste woman, they dare not continue to think about the Lord Shang. When they turn around and ask for sin and withdraw their marriage, they will definitely be too embarrassed to discuss marriage. We always have to wait for the limelight to pass, and almost everyone has forgotten the excitement before making any plans.”

Yun Fenghuang's expression softened a little when he heard the words, and said: "Since he can wait, then I can find a suitable opportunity to find out what His Majesty is saying. But you have also made it clear to him, don't hug him too much." Hope: Who told him to be engaged to Princess Minghui after all? Later, when people talk about it, they all said that Princess Hui’s unwanted son-in-law went to marry Princess Kunze, so Princess Kunze would be happy?"

"Although Princess Kunze rarely comes to His Majesty, the Empress Dowager who raised her is His Majesty's biological mother. The Empress Dowager has raised such a princess herself over the years. Even if she is not her own, how can she not feel distressed. "

"Your Majesty has always been filial, even if you don't care about the princesses as much as the princesses, you should always give the Queen Mother some face."

These words were passed on to Wang Linglai, and Wang Linglai discussed with his family whether he should continue to play Princess Kunze's idea?

His uncles and brothers discussed it for a while, and finally came to the conclusion that they have no other better choice for the time being. Anyway, Wang Linglai is a man, and there are many heirs in the family, so there is no rush for him to have children to continue the heir. Concubine Xian is so clever, maybe she can turn the impossible into the possible?

Furthermore: "Our family has always been very filial to the concubine Xian, and this lady is not the kind of master who takes money and does nothing. In this case, it is better to seek it first. Anyway, this time we have dissolved the engagement with the Tian family. For the time being It's not good to get married right away. After a while, even if you can't say that you can't be the princess of Kunze, the concubine Xian will definitely help introduce other people's ladies if she feels sorry. Having such a lady as a middleman is no better than going to see her face by yourself ?”

The main reason is that there are already so many benefits for Concubine Yun Xian, so turning against Concubine Xian at this moment is purely a waste of time.

Might as well keep holding on.

At any rate, the emperor was more able to listen to what Concubine Xian said.

Yun Fenghuang received the news that the Wang family was willing to wait, and also sent a generous gift to Xie Xiliu and his wife, and his impression of Wang Linglai's family was indeed better.

I specially went to Chunjia to speak good words for them, probably because the Ji family did things wickedly, and made a miserable life for the prospective son-in-law. This move did not take the emperor seriously... Chunjia was also guilty of Wang Linglai, and soon Afterwards, Wang Ling came to the court to plead guilty, asking for the abandonment of the Lord's grace on the grounds that he did not practice virtue and slept with a concubine by mistake. Chun Jiaming reprimanded him face-to-face, saying that he had failed the expectations of the heavenly family and the princess.

In fact, he turned around and found a reason to upgrade him to a level, and rewarded him with a lot of things.

Anyone with a discerning eye would know that Chunjia was not bored with this former son-in-law-to-be, on the contrary, he sympathized with her.

Yun Fenghuang pinched his eyes and connected his bones, together with Concubine Xuan Rui, he told the imperial court that the many civet cats in the palace were probably the reason why Empress Dowager Ji murdered the emperor's heir, resulting in a lack of royal heirs.

As I said earlier, Chunjia didn't really care much about her offspring.

But this doesn't mean that he doesn't care about other people murdering his own flesh and blood—especially the culprit is Ji, whom he misses so much!

He held back his anger and asked for details, Yun Fenghuang asked Concubine Xuan Rui to say: "Concubine Xuan and Rui Concubine detected and verified these. I also have some doubts, so after presiding over the Xuanqing Palace, I immediately raised the civet cats that entered the Xuanqing Palace, and they were not close to each other...but I was only worried about them hurting people, and never had any other thoughts."

Concubine Xuan Ruifei forced herself to be calm, and her excitement could not be concealed in her eyes.

After all, before entering the palace, they were the apples of the eye of their respective families, but since entering the palace, they have been oppressed by Yun Fenghuang in various ways. When the Empress Dowager and the Empress Dowager Ji had just returned to Miyagi, from the Empress Dowager Yuan to Chunjia, who had believed that only Yun Fenghuang could fight against those two, and they, noble girls from high families, could not do it?

Now I finally have an errand that is done beautifully and neatly, with a lot of credit, the key is that it has nothing to do with Yun Fenghuang—Yun Fenghuang credited them all the credit in person, and they only think that this is the concubine Xian concubine, or concubine Xian Don't dare to claim credit.

She didn't know that Yun Fenghuang's plan was such a hidden way of harming others, as long as she knew it herself, she didn't want to expose it.

Because who knew that Chunjia boasted "Aifei is really smart", but what she was thinking in her heart was "Sure enough, the aristocratic family has endless tricks and can recognize such tricks. How can you know that there are more secret ways to harm people"?

...Anyway, that's what she thought when it was Yun Fenghuang.

She has such a villainous mind, so she let Concubine Xuan and Concubine Rui take the lead everywhere, and even Concubine Xuan deliberately hinted at Chunjia that Concubine Xian didn't do anything, but they gave some opinions when they went to ask for instructions, and they basically agreed At that time, Yun Fenghuang also responded with a light smile.

This made Concubine Xuan Rui even happier, and even felt that Concubine Xian was nothing more than that.

Good luck, rushing Chunjia to be in charge of the government, looking at the concubines of old brands is not pleasing to the eye, Yun Fenghuang's youth and beauty will come, seize the opportunity to make a head... In fact, they come from humble backgrounds, real noble girls like them just need to get used to it If you violate the rules of the palace, it is easy to step on them.

Yun Fenghuang didn't care, and led them to summarize the law of the sudden decline of the harem of the three emperors of Shenzong, Xiaozong, and Chunjia. During the Shenzong period, there were not a few concubines who had miscarriages.

Moreover, there are five or six princes who have fallen to the ground of Shenzong.

It's just that Xiaozong and the regent were the ones who lived to adulthood.

During Xiaozong's harem, Empress Dowager Ji was the leader. This empress dowager was known to be arrogant. It is said that she was even a little more arrogant when she was young, but she did not have a specific bad attitude towards concubines. However, she is also famously fond of civet cats. The strange thing is that she doesn't have civet cats around her, but she likes to raise them in the palace and reward her concubines.

Because it wasn't an unacceptable hobby, and the civet cats she rewarded were not bad in appearance, so it didn't attract much attention.

"The concubines have also found someone to check the Imperial Beast Garden in the past two days." Concubine Xuan took a special look at Yun Fenghuang when she said this.

Because Concubine Xuan Rui had never told her this.

It can be seen that the second concubine had planned early in the morning, this time she would put aside her concubine Xian to show off alone.

Concubine Xuan saw that Concubine Xian had no intention of turning her face or causing trouble, and she didn't know whether to breathe a sigh of relief or to be disappointed, so she calmed down and continued, "I found out that the Royal Beast Garden was changed many years ago, probably when His Majesty Emperor Shenzong was in his later years. A group of people, especially those who specialize in taking care of civet cats."

"The ones who are serving today are all skills passed down from generation to generation."

"They were the first to enter the Royal Beast Garden, and they were all arranged as dowry by the Empress Dowager."

Concubine Rui added softly: "Because the concubines have also been visited in private, not all families who raise cats and dogs have unlucky children, otherwise how could there be no similar rumors in the market? So the concubines thought, the problem is not It should be on the civet cat itself, but on the civet cat, I am afraid it has been tampered with."

But what the second concubine is more ashamed of is that they did not find out what the Ji family did. After all, this is a big matter, and it is related to the prosperity of the three generations of the Gongxiang family, and even the death of Xiaozong... Ji is not stupid Yes, how could it be easy for someone to catch him in this kind of place?

That would not mean that for so many years, countless people suspected Ji's murder of the emperor's heir, but never thought of the civet cat.

But it doesn't matter, they can't find out, Chunjia holds the Imperial City Secretary in his hand.

Even if not all the imperial officials were loyal to the emperor, the regent's position on this matter was the same as Chunjia's: Chunjia asked the details repeatedly, and asked the second concubine to write down the servants sent to investigate, and then After sending them away, he ordered the regent to come to the palace and told the whole story.

The regent was almost so angry that he vomited blood on the spot!

Although it is said that the Tian family has no family ties, but because of the half-step emperor's younger brother, he respected and appreciated Emperor Xiaozong from the bottom of his heart.

If he became the emperor's younger brother and now ascended the throne, he might know about this, and he would be a little secretly happy after being shocked: If it wasn't for Xiaozong's extinct heir, where would it be his turn to take the throne?

But he failed to take over the throne, and it was cheaper to follow Chunjia, who had been with Xiaozong for several generations, and the regent had nothing at all right now.

The regret for the untimely death of the emperor's brother, the sorrow for the decline of the royal family and the hatred for the Ji family were mixed together. The regent even shed tears on the spot: "The imperial grandfather's kindness to the Ji family is as great as a mountain. Dare...how dare...Your Majesty, if you and I don't punish the Ji family in the future, we will be sons of man in vain!!!"

"What my uncle said is also what I think." Anyway, it is impossible for Xiaozong to come back from the dead and continue to have a son. Chunjia, who has been Xiaozong's heir for nine years, is very calm and can speak cheaply, "It's just that the matter is too big. The identities and seniorities of the empress dowager and mother empress dowager are put there, there is no considerable evidence, so it should not be spread. Otherwise, it may mean that we have treated the elders badly."

The regent gritted his teeth and said, "Don't worry about this matter... Let the Imperial City Secretary handle it when you go back alone. Even if you dig three feet into the ground, you have to find out the truth!"

The uncle and nephew discussed some countermeasures, and Chunjia euphemistically expressed her uneasiness: "Concubine Xuan Rui accidentally asked Minghui to hurt the civet cat in order to find out the truth. In the past two days, Minghui was called by the empress dowager in Xunfeng Pavilion, Second Concubine Hui and Concubine Xian have just come to me to report, and now uncle is retreating from me, no matter what he does, I am afraid it will arouse Ji's suspicion."

The Prince Regent was feeling restless at the moment, and he didn't think too much after hearing the words: "Then what do you think should be?"

"Why don't you finalize the heir of King Fuyang's lineage?" Chunjia said taking advantage of the situation, "In this way, outsiders will only think that the vassal king has gone the way of a concubine. I invited my uncle into the palace today for this purpose, and I would never think of it." Others go up."
