Treacherous Living in the Imperial Harem

Chapter 126: Letterhead of Unknown Origin

"The servant just went back to the residence, and saw it on the table." Chen Zhu knelt on the ground, and said cautiously, "I asked, no one has entered the residence of the servant. Later, the servant checked carefully and found a bush outside the rear window. There's half a faint footprint in it, and there's just . . . nothing."

Yun Fenghuang's face was very ugly: "In broad daylight, if someone touches your house to deliver a letter, and if you turn around, if you are a little malicious, maybe your head will also be borrowed?"

Chen Zhu hurriedly kowtowed and said, "Your maidservant is incompetent and deserves death!"

"What's the use of saying that?" Yun Fenghuang snorted coldly, "Hurry up and investigate!"

Seeing that Chen Zhu got up and wanted to go down, he ordered, "Remember to check quietly—that kind of thing happened in Liudantang, I don't want to use Yue Xiaozhu's embarrassment to make people suspect that I have no way to rule !"

After dismissing Chen Zhu, she looked at the letter in her hand and frowned again.

The letter had been sealed before, and on the envelope was written a letter from the concubine Xian. After Chen Zhu saw it, he didn't dare to open it, and presented it directly. Tomorrow night, she will go to her hometown by the Lanzhou Night Rain Pavilion to meet.

Lanzhou Yeyu Pavilion was the place where Yun Fenghuang lived during his summer vacation last year. It was destroyed in the water at the beginning of this year and has not been rebuilt until now.

If there was any old place nearby, she subconsciously remembered the reed bush where she met Gong Xiangxiao late at night after returning from Chunban Villa.

... This is embarrassing.

If the old place is correct, the letter was obviously written in Gong Xiangxiao's tone, but he only pinched the address and signed it because he was afraid of being intercepted halfway. Considering the relationship between Gong Xiangxiao's natal family and the Imperial City Secretary, it's not surprising that he has this ability.

But what if?

What if Gong Xiangxiao accidentally leaked the news and was used by others to catch Yun Fenghuang?

And even if he really meant it, what if someone finds out about the meeting?

After the incident at Chunban Villa, Qi Jiulu went to serve in the Dingbei Army, and the relationship between Yun Fenghuang and Gong Xiangxiao became colder. During this period, there was basically no contact with each other. Not to mention, there was a banquet in the former palace, and Yin Xuan took the initiative The time when the dance was performed for the emperor, Gong Xiangxiao, who happened to enter the palace, went to the banquet to join in the fun, and the two sides exchanged a few words, but they were also very distant.

Suddenly handing such a thing in at this moment, no matter how you look at it, it is suspicious.

For the sake of safety, it is better not to go - but here comes the problem again, the emperor is not what he used to be, not when few people took it seriously and his eyes and ears were closed, who knows the process of delivering the letter to Chen Zhu's desk , Did Chunjia know already?

Then Yun Fenghuang just didn't go to the appointment, but didn't explain to the emperor, would the emperor murmur in his heart, thinking that concubine Xian is not honest enough to him?

If you explain it to the emperor... then if the emperor doesn't know, isn't this a self-inflicted trap? After Chunjia taught Qi Jiulu a lesson repeatedly, she would no longer be so foolish as to believe in the emperor's magnanimity, thinking that she would be fine if she voluntarily confessed.

Not really left nor right nor right.

Yun Fenghuang thought about it for a moment, and decided to use Chunjia's words first.

"Your Majesty, do you still remember Lanzhou Yeyu Pavilion?" In the evening, she sent someone to Xingxintang to tell Chunjia that she cooked a table of delicious dishes by herself, and invited the emperor to come and comment on it—— Of course the emperor didn't believe that Concubine Xian had such skills, but he still came here happily.

Yun Fenghuang then asked someone to present the food and wine carefully prepared by the cook, and had a few drinks with him. Seeing that the atmosphere was just right, he took advantage of the situation and said, "Although it's good to borrow a small house, I miss you a little in the past two days." The old residence."

Chunjia said with a smile: "This is what happened last year, how could you not remember?"

She showed a somewhat melancholy expression, "When you first lived in Lanzhou Yeyu Pavilion, Concubine Shu was still there. These days go by so fast, a year has passed in the blink of an eye."

Yun Fenghuang didn't expect him to think of Concubine Shu, she hesitated between being jealous and continuing to talk, she decided to choose the latter, and comforted her with meaning: "Sister Concubine Shu has always been the most virtuous and courteous, and the spirit of heaven definitely doesn't want to Seeing that His Majesty is sad for her, I ask His Majesty to show condolences."

"You also understand the respect I have for Concubine Shu." Chunjia bit the word "respect" on purpose, and said softly, "Mr. Serving me, but I went there at a young age, so far there is no clear explanation, every time I think of this, I feel ashamed of Duke Yi!"

"Your Majesty, why is this so? Your Majesty didn't think about this matter. In the final analysis, it's Ji's screwball." Yun Fenghuang still doesn't know about Yi Guogong's entry into the palace to look for the emperor, but he also feels the words No, his eyes flickered, and he said, "And if Your Majesty wants to compensate Duke Yi, isn't there a chance right now? Shun Jieyu gave birth to the fourth prince in Miyagi, and according to the rules, there should be a reward. No What if Your Majesty gives her a good position?"

Chunjia looked at her expression, and said: "Shun Jieyu's previous titles were determined by the concubine, now she is promoted, it is time to listen to the opinion of the concubine."

Yun Fenghuang said: "Above Jieyu is the ninth concubine. Are the nine concubines empty for Zhaoyi, Xiuyi, Xiurong, and Xiuyuan? What do you think, Your Majesty? Or if your majesty thinks that the nine concubines are still a bit low, Madam , How about the imperial concubine?"

"...The ninth concubine is a little low." Chunjia said while thinking about how to gently persuade the concubine to treat Yun Qingman's mother and son and the eldest prince better without making the concubine angry-in fact, the emperor thinks Concubine Xian is very kind to the eldest prince, after all, he often comes to borrow Yue Xiaozhu, and he can be regarded as watching how Concubine Xian takes care of the two children.

It cannot be said that everything must be done by hand, but it is absolutely well protected.

Otherwise, how many heirs of the emperor before he came to power in this palace would not be born, let alone how jealous the eldest son of the emperor is? If the concubine Xian's methods and thoughts were not appropriate enough, the First Prince might be in trouble sooner or later.

In short, the emperor didn't believe that the concubine Xian would be detrimental to the eldest prince. After all, the concubine Xian had no son, and the eldest prince was the eldest son of the emperor. She had no reason to treat this child badly, let alone murder this child.

But if Concubine Xian would do something to Yun Qingman's mother and son... the emperor felt that this was not impossible.

The main reason is that he doesn't care much about these two girls...

But Chunjia didn't care about Yun Qingman and the fourth prince, but he still cared about Duke Yi.

After all, this is an important minister in the temple, and he has always been very loyal to him.

The concubine's daughter had already died in the palace, now Chunjia couldn't refuse to ask the emperor to take care of the concubine's daughter and grandson.

After thinking about it for a while, the emperor said, "After all, she is the younger sister of you and concubine Shu. I have not visited her very often. If my position is not enough, I can't expect you to take care of me all the time. That's too much for you to worry about." Yes. I think it's better to make a concubine directly, so that she can take care of the fourth prince."

"..." Yun Fenghuang squinted at him.

Chunjia drank tea calmly, with a look of "I just want to make up for Yun Qingman's mother and son because I feel that I owe Concubine Shu".

"The concubine is here to thank His Majesty for your kindness on behalf of Qing Man." After a while, Yun Fenghuang stood up with a smile on his face and blessed him, "But I don't know if Your Majesty plans to give Qing Man a new title or use the previous title." The word 'shun'?"

Chunjia originally wanted to say that concubine Shun is good, but thinking of doing so, would Yun Fenghuang think that even if Yun Qingman was named Concubine Shun, it would be nothing more than that, and she would still bully if she wanted to?

He thought about it for a while, and said: "Let's change the title to 'Xie', and let her remember the love of concubine Aifei."

Yun Fenghuang said: "Who would you like to thank? Shouldn't you just use my concubine's original surname?"

"Xie's friend Ruoke's Xie." Chun Jia said slowly, "It is also related to her previous title 'Shun', so it could not be more suitable."

It sounds reasonable, but Yun Fenghuang was brought up by his family as his son, how could he not know that the original meaning of "Xie" means harmony and coordination?

She immediately guessed that Chun Jia chose this title for Yun Qingman, but she was euphemistically expressing her intention to mediate the relationship between herself and Duke Yi.

From Chunjia's standpoint, it is understandable for him to do so, but to Yunfenghuang...

Concubine Xian's complexion suddenly sank, she snorted and said: "Your Majesty has already said so, so naturally I will obey the holy order!"

"Why are you unhappy?" Chunjia sighed, put her arms around her, and said softly, "But you don't like it? If so, you can change it."

Yun Fenghuang pushed him a little bit, turned his face to the side, and said lightly: "But there is no need, His Majesty drew it up himself, it is for Qingman's grace, can I stop it?"

Chunjia said in a helpless tone: "I'm not discussing with you? If you want to stop, why can't you stop?"

"What's a concubine, why should I stop you?" Yun Fenghuang's eyes began to fill with mist, and he said sadly, "That's the biological daughter of Duke Yi, and the concubine was able to be listed in the imperial edict, but it was through Yi Guo As for the name of the Duke, it is impossible to repay the favor and change the title that His Majesty personally picked and thought is very suitable for Qingman? In the end, who made the concubine's father and brother stupid and failed to serve His Majesty earlier?"

"Why do you say such things again?" Chunjia said with a headache, "Didn't you say you won't settle the old score?"

Yun Fenghuang simply burst into tears: "Yes, I know my mistake. But I am wronged! I didn't do anything to Qingman, and her concubine title was given to her by my concubine. If the concubine didn't take care of her at all during her pregnancy, how could she live so peacefully?!"

"Even if the concubine enters the palace and relies on their appearance, the love will be repaid, right?"

"Why do you want to beat the concubine now, so that the concubine can live in harmony with their mother and son?!"

"I discussed a title with you, so where did you hit it?" Chunjia said hastily, "I just think that this title is homonymous to your original surname, so it would be good for Duke Yi's mansion to record your name!"

Yun Fenghuang wiped his tears and said with a sneer: "Your Majesty, don't mention my previous surname. When I mention my concubine, I can't help but think of those bad people and things... Your Majesty didn't know how to feel sorry for my concubine at that time!"

Chunjia couldn't help but laugh: "At that time you hadn't even entered the palace yet..."

You don't know each other at all, why do you make me feel so distressed?

"Aren't you His Majesty's people if you haven't entered the palace?" But Yun Fenghuang has her own set of fallacies, she justly accused the emperor, "It's His Majesty's people who have suffered and wronged, why don't Your Majesty not Distressed?!"

Chunjia was quite speechless, and choked for a long time before hugging her and sighing: "Cheng Chengcheng, it's my fault, I have wronged my concubine...but I don't know how I can forgive me?"

"Where does this concubine dare to ask His Majesty whether to forgive or not?" Yun Fenghuang choked up and said, "I recalled all the things I did with Your Majesty at Lanzhou Night Rain Pavilion last year, but before I could say anything, Your Majesty asked again. Concubine Shu belongs to Shun Jieyu, and in His Majesty's heart, the two biological daughters of Duke Yi are what I remember most. What else can I say about this concubine? Everyone knows that this concubine, Yun's daughter, is just a counterfeit. Comparable to the blood of the loyal and courageous Lord Yi?"

"You're talking angry again." Chunjia said helplessly, "You are my virtuous concubine, why don't you believe in my feelings for you?"

Fearing that Yun Fenghuang would continue to be relentless, he hastened to mend the situation, "Speaking of Lanzhou Yeyu Pavilion last year, I remember how you tricked me. That voice at night made me have a good life in front of my mother and the queen the next day." Embarrassing! If it's someone else, I'm afraid I won't want to see you for a year or so, but it's you, I can't bear to blame, so I have to bear it myself!"

"Who told Your Majesty to be hot and cold towards my concubine at that time?" Yun Fenghuang laughed and said, "I can't be angry with my body and mind... Besides, my concubine has only entered the palace for a few days, so it is inevitable that I am a bit willful."

Seeing her tone softened, Chunjia felt relieved, smiled and lowered her head, rubbing her forehead against her cheek, and said, "Why do I treat you so hot and cold? Is it okay for you to tease me when you are hot and cold?"

Yun Fenghuang glanced at him resentfully: "Your Majesty was playing the flute alone that night, and I wanted to accompany you, but after thinking of so many ways, you ignored it and kept driving me away..."

She had only three things on her mind, and she had already interrupted Yun Shuangyu and Yun Qingman, if the emperor dared to mention Yuan Niangniang again, try!
