Chapter 18: There Is Still a Dream

"Floating clouds cover the sun, I have wronged Your Majesty." Yun Fenghuang caressed Chunjia's face with a distressed expression, and said firmly, "I really think that Luo's family is too downcast, although Xie's is not a big family, my sisters These people were also pampered and raised. But since this person is loyal to His Majesty, how can I not be a concubine to win over for His Majesty?"

"You don't need to look at it, this marriage, the concubine agrees on behalf of the elder sister, and only waits for the 21st brother to be the Lord, and then perform the six rituals, what do you think?"

She was full of affection on her face, but she was cursing in her heart. Although this bastard emperor was not a fuel-efficient lamp in the past, he was not so shameless—it was fine to force her to try her best to comfort and praise him just now, but now Still coming!

If it's just a simple misfortune, she can ignore it or evade it, but what Chunjia said just now is nothing more than saying that he has not many chips in his hand, and the number of talents he has recruited is rare. Each one is very precious and cannot be lost. .

Under such circumstances, as a concubine who is deeply favored by the emperor and "likes His Majesty the most", can she still refuse?

No matter how precious and important her sixteenth sister is, it must not be as important as helping her "favorite" His Majesty, right?

Yun Fenghuang was very upset in his heart, thinking that the emperor must take revenge for his grievances.

I think back then when she acted like a spoiled child with the emperor, it was nothing more than to win sympathy, to get away with it and avoid punishment, to get promoted, to... well, she used this method to deal with Chunjia before, but she didn't take advantage of it. Unexpectedly, one day Chunjia would follow suit to deal with her.

"I knew that my concubine liked me the most, and she would never let me down." But Chunjia smiled when she heard the words, and said, "Concubine Ai understands righteousness, she is worthy of being a concubine!"

"Your Majesty always loves my concubine, but it's a pity that I can't repay your majesty's kindness." Yun Fenghuang endured the mood of vomiting blood, and pretended to flatter him, "Now that I have the opportunity, how can I still feel sorry for a concubine born in the first place? What about my cousin?"

This emperor is too pitiful!

She had to use her brain, think of a way, and come up with a few new routines.

Otherwise, the advantage I took from him at the beginning would have to be returned with interest sooner or later!

Yun Fenghuang was full of crises in his heart, and absent-mindedly muddled through the night, and went to Danruoting where Wei Hengyan was the next day.

This Dan Ruoting was Wei Hengyan's residence last year. She was only Jieyu at the time, and the noble concubines and concubines were all there at that time. When it was her turn, the lowest-ranked concubine who had just entered the palace, of course there was not much choice— ——Dan Ruo Ting's location, scenery, furnishings, scale, etc. are all ordinary in the palaces and pavilions.

The only feature is that many pomegranates are planted inside and outside.

It blooms very beautifully this season.

Originally, Wei Hengyan came here this year, his status has been promoted, and he is backed by the strong concubine Xian, so he can completely choose a better place to live, but now she is pregnant, and she thinks the pomegranate has a good meaning. I lived in the place last year and I am familiar with it, so I haven't changed it.

Seeing Yun Fenghuang coming over in person at this moment, he quickly got up to greet him.

The two of them sat down in the main hall, and the palace servants brought up the drink, Shiguo, and exchanged some pleasantries. The main reason was that Yunfenghuang was concerned about Wei Hengyan's pregnancy, and finally brought the topic to the marriage of the two families. Yunfenghuang Sighing, he pushed Chunjia out of the matter of Luo Xun cutting Hu, and said: "...Actually, I would also like to be your in-laws, but I didn't expect such a coincidence that Luo Xun happened to be guarding the palace that day. When I saw the sixteenth sister of my palace, I went to His Majesty to beg."

"Your Majesty has personally spoken to me, and said that Luo Xun is very loyal and good."

"Tell me, His Majesty talks about this, so what else can I say?"

Wei Hengyan was very disappointed in her heart. In fact, she had never met Xie Lan at all. When she first asked for marriage, she just wanted to tell her younger brother Yun Fenghuang a sister whom Yun Fenghuang valued more. Now that Xie Lan was intercepted by the emperor, she could accept another one.

The problem is that the emperor's intention expressed by this move is that he does not want the Xie family to marry too many high-ranking families - if the Wei family continues to marry the Xie family, Chunjia will undoubtedly be offended.

Judging from Chunjia's attitude towards the concubine who entered the palace during her wedding, this master is very good at settling accounts after autumn.

She weighed the pros and cons in her heart, and expressed her regret for missing the virtuous, virtuous, talented and beautiful sister-in-law, and the two sides tacitly settled the matter.

"I originally wanted to find a good future for my younger brother, but His Majesty intervened. This matter can't be done." After Yun Fenghuang left, Wei Hengyan murmured to his confidant, "That lowly maid at home wants to Happy."

She hates her stepmother, but has a good relationship with the birth mother of the concubine recommended to Yun Fenghuang. This time, she will think of marrying the Xie family, not without the intention of embarrassing her stepmother: because of Yun Fenghuang's temper, If her sisters were to marry the concubine of the Wei family, would Wei Hengyan's stepmother dare to put on airs with this daughter-in-law, afraid that the concubine Xian would wring her head off?

Even if Yun Fenghuang's sisters were more coquettish and self-willed, and if they had nothing to do, they would go to Concubine Xian to complain and act coquettishly or something, Yun Fenghuang might just let the sisters' mother-in-law die violently.

As a result, Chunjia's block, this plan can only be in vain.

"Your Majesty, since Your Majesty does not approve of this matter, it is a good thing for the Concubine Xian to come and decline in person." Her confidant advised her, "I just heard what the Concubine Xian said, and she likes our young master very much. Do you want His Majesty to speak up?" However, the concubine Xian still wants to marry our family, so what should our family do? Offend His Majesty by following her, and offend Concubine Xian by following His Majesty. These two are not easy to provoke, and now they have unified opinions and have spoken It's the best."

Wei Hengyan thinks so too, if Yun Fenghuang came here today and said that although the emperor intends to let Xie Lan marry Luo Xun, the imperial guard, but she still wants to betroth her sister to the Wei family, then the Wei family is really in a dilemma .

Feeling better like this, I thought about it again, "I only told my aunt about this two days ago, but now it's an accident, I have to find time to explain it to my aunt."

After saying this, I remembered again, "By the way, the Borrowing Moon House is very lively these few days. Even Meng Youyi and the others have visited once, and I heard that they have also euphemistically proposed a marriage request. Tell me, since His Majesty does not approve Why are they still rushing about this matter?"

"Your Majesty, it is precisely because these people are keen to marry the Xie family that His Majesty opposes it." Her confidant came out in front of her real grandmother, Princess Dongxing, and she was very clever. Er reminded me in a low voice, "Concubine Xian has only been in the palace for a short time, but her rise has been very rapid. At the beginning of the year, a noble lady like Concubine Xuan didn't pay much attention to her. Who knew that in a blink of an eye, she would be far away The latter is only one step away?"

"It's fine if it's just her being favored by herself. As long as His Majesty doesn't spoil concubines and kill wives, Concubine Xuan and Concubine Rui are all taught by the family, it's not that you can't tolerate someone who has a concubine favored by Your Majesty."

"Besides, she coaxed His Majesty to hand down Princess Penglai to her natal brothers. Because the First Prince is recorded under Concubine Shu's name, the relationship with Duke Yi's mansion has also been greatly improved. This has already made the Luo family very uneasy. If Xie's daughter continues to marry a high-ranking family, I am afraid that the families of Concubine Xuan and Concubine Rui will not care about Ji's family, and they will join hands to solve Xie's family before they can rest assured-after all, Ji's family is deeply disgusted by His Majesty. Aside from the fact that sooner or later, Ji's daughter's offspring will definitely not be able to enter the East Palace!"

"However, Concubine Xian is not."

"Your Majesty is wise and mighty, how can you not understand this truth? The marriage between the Xie family and the Luo family was actually intended to ease the relationship between the two parties and turn hostility into friendship."

"It is also to reduce Xianfei's offspring, so that she will not be more popular in the palace."

"It's just that Mrs. Xie didn't understand what he meant. When he came to the imperial capital this time, he actually brought several marriageable women with him."

"So, how can the Luo family rest assured? Two days ago, all the concubines asked the concubine Xian to marry him. In fact, we and the few who were left out in the cold and wanted to get the concubine's help to turn around, such as Mrs. Manya Rather than saying that the descendants of the Dai family have taken a fancy to Xie's daughter, it is better to say that they are using this method to remind His Majesty that the Xie family is too prosperous!"

"Now that His Majesty is interfering, it seems to be suppressing Concubine Xian, but it is actually a kind of love... If it weren't for the fact that Concubine Xian will be attacked by the front and rear palaces, His Majesty would have expressed displeasure for someone else who is so anxious to climb the dragon and the phoenix. Then he was beaten in the cold. That is Concubine Xian, although His Majesty stopped the matter, but there was still a royal guard who did not say anything, and coaxed Concubine Xian..."

The confidant sighed, and said, "Of course, it's fortunate that this is the case. The concubine Xian has no intention of confronting His Majesty. If she takes the initiative to tell us about this matter, let's just forget it. Otherwise, if this empress feels uncomfortable and wants to hide it What should His Majesty do, we are in trouble!"

... Wei Hengyan's master and servant thought of Yun Fenghuang also in his heart. She returned from Dan Ruo Ting to Bianyue Xiaozhu, thinking about how to break the situation?

She believed in Chunjia's feelings for her. The emperor is very busy now, if he didn't take her to heart, he really wouldn't have the time and energy to coax her.

But this kind of affection also has close and distant relatives. From the current point of view, what Chunjia loves the most is still his throne, which is in his hands and the ruler of the world.

On the premise of guaranteeing his own status and power, he is still conniving towards Yun Fenghuang. Once this point is touched, no matter how gentle his attitude is, no matter how gentle his words are, it can't conceal his firmness of choice-Yun Fenghuang actually doesn't hate him like this, just In the current situation in the imperial harem, the emperor is always a fool and not so tenacious. It is really difficult for a concubine like her who has no family background to look at the faces of powerful officials while serving the emperor.

It was as if she spent a lot of effort to please Empress Ji when she just entered the palace.

If Chunjia hadn't been in charge, no matter how cunning Yun Fenghuang felt, the position of fourth concubine would have been capped, and he had to endure the pickiness of Ji Muzi and others. In the game, it's not her turn anyway.

Now that Chunjia has a certain ability to be in charge of the family, she can try to seek the world of motherhood.

So he scolded the emperor for his heartlessness, but he was still calm in his heart.

"The gap between the Xie family and the Luo family is difficult to make up." Yun Fenghuang frowned for a while and thought deeply, "It is impossible to catch up with the Luo family in a short time. If you want to seek the back position, you can only go sideways. "

Chunjia's current attitude is very clear, that is, she wants to be pampered, to be rewarded with clothing and jewelry, and other insignificant small requests, to draw sideways in daily palace battles... try to follow the wind and wind as much as possible, but the latter , it was assigned to Luo Hanyi and the others by default, and he never considered letting Yun Fenghuang go.

He also hopes that Yun Fenghuang can understand and follow this point.

Maybe when he was in power and kept his promises, he would deliberately be confused and think that it was not impossible for his favorite concubine to be a queen-but at that time, the successor had already been decided, and the emperor was not without generosity. He has a side that must be repaid, but how mean is he? Apart from matters related to the throne, he is actually quite kind.

As long as Luo Hanyi and the others don't make big mistakes, once they enter the Yanfu Palace, it is very unlikely that Chunjia will abandon the middle palace for no reason because of his preference for a certain concubine.

Moreover, the officials of the former dynasty are not dead, and it is impossible to sit back and watch the emperor spoil his concubine and destroy his wife.

If this successor has another prince, then there is really no need to think about it. As long as this prince does not commit suicide, the mother and son can be said to have reserved the positions of the queen mother and the masters of the East Palace.

So once Empress Ji lost her position, if Yun Fenghuang could not live in Yanfu Palace, it would be a bad thing, and she would be stuck as a concubine in this life.

She is only sixteen years old this year, is she going to start retirement?

Concubine Xian feels that although the situation is difficult, there is still a dream, what if it comes true, right?
