Treacherous Living in the Imperial Harem

Chapter 139 Yunfenghuang: Chunjia Misled Me!

This day when Xiao Luo came out of the palace, he immediately went to Jingji to look for a manor with hot springs. He said that Yun Fenghuang was sympathetic to his mother's aging, and she couldn't help having some pains here and there, and wanted to take advantage of Jiang's coming to Beijing at the end of the year Buy a house in advance and tell her to loosen her muscles and bones: "My mother said, after buying it, let us help the staff to repair it, so that my fourth aunt can live more comfortably when she comes over."

Her husband Xie Heng smiled when he heard this, and said: "We can't get our hands on this matter now, and the thirteen brothers and sisters are pregnant again, maybe you have to worry about it. If the fourth aunt's preferences are not sure, you can Go and ask the thirteen younger brothers and sisters more. The things that the mother personally ordered are to be filial to the fourth aunt, so we can't be perfunctory, we must put our minds to it."

"Do you need to say that?" Little Luo said, "I'll go talk to my siblings tomorrow, and bring Kuo'er over to play with Meng'er."

After hesitating for a while, he said again, "It's just that when I entered the palace today, the empress didn't mention a word. If the thirteen younger siblings asked me tomorrow, I don't even know what to say?"

Xie Heng said vaguely: "Don't worry about this matter, there is nothing to ask about it. You think the two empress dowagers in the palace are exhausted. Let Meng'er go to live in the palace now, maybe something will happen. Controversy. Then Kang Jieyu's two heirs are still princes. Didn't they have a bad fate when they landed and were judged by Qin Tianjian? Now the second prince and the third prince are still young. How do you deal with yourself?"

The little Luo who said this sighed: "That's right. I was envious of the thirteen younger siblings before. Although my daughter is not around, I will definitely miss it, but there is a mother in the palace to take care of me. Life will not be bad. With such an experience, I will be able to say goodbye in the future." Raising one's status is of great benefit to a girl's lifelong event."

"The future will be long, how old is our daughter and Menger?" Xie Heng said calmly, "After two years of peace in the palace, can the empress make plans for my niece?"

After pondering for a while, he said again, "Look at the aunt and the others these two days. The fourth aunt has been the head of the family for many years. The aunt said she was a wife, but in fact she always didn't care about things. After so many years of relaxation, she even talked They are not so vigilant anymore. It’s okay to be in the Northland, but it’s not suitable to be in the Imperial Capital.”

"It's not easy for the empress to be in the palace. There is nothing at home that can help her, but she often needs to pull it out."

"It's not good for us to trouble her any more."

He thought of the news from the Qing people a few days ago, and he had already been persuaded by Xie Fu, thinking about the chance of clinging to this virtuous concubine's cousin, he couldn't help sighing, "It's a troubled time, and I don't know if the empress can handle it. ?”

If Yun Fenghuang can't hold on to this wave, their Xie family can't escape the first day of the junior high school, but they won't be able to escape the fifteenth day.

But at this moment, Yun Fenghuang, who had been placed with high hopes, was holding a chess piece and talking to Chunjia: "...Your Majesty, this step is not counted. I just misplaced my body, so I have to start again."

"You've regretted seven or eight steps, and you're still here?" Chunjia had a headache, "What's the point of that? No more, no more."

Yun Fenghuang tugged at his sleeves and refused to let him go: "One last time! Next time, I must think carefully before doing anything!"

Chunjia didn't believe her at all: "You said the same thing when you regretted the game for the first time."

"That's all in the past, Your Majesty, why do you still remember?" Yun Fenghuang scolded him, "This is too frightening for the concubine, is it possible that the mistakes I made, you remember firmly? "

"...What happened before a cup of tea, do you have the nerve to say that I hold grudges?" Chunjia pointed at her nose, "I see that you are disregarding me even more!"

Yun Fenghuang said: "Of course your majesty wants to put it in my concubine's heart, what is that in my eyes?"

"I shouldn't have agreed to play this game of chess with you!" Chunjia sat back angrily, "I'm going to be perfunctory with nonsense!"

But you are very happy to be perfunctory... Yun Fenghuang slandered, moved the chess piece to the position where he thought twice, and said with a smile: "Isn't your majesty being tolerant and not caring about my concubine?"

She said a few obedient words, coaxed Chunjia back into a good mood, and then saw that the situation on the chessboard was wrong, and regretted the game again... So the imperial concubine played the game for more than half an hour, and finally Chunjia went through hardships He only won half of the moves, and this was the result of his resolute rejection of Yun Fenghuang and his remorse.

Otherwise, this Concubine Xian might regret it until she wins.

Chunjia felt that the past half hour had been quite difficult, and the trouble was not over yet, because Concubine Xian was unhappy because she lost the chess, and she blamed him for her temper.

The emperor was very helpless: "You took the initiative to play chess, and I also said that I would not deliberately let you... It's not like you haven't lost before, why are you so fussy now?"

"How can I compare my chess skills with your Majesty as a female? I said I wanted to play chess with you, so I want to accompany you for a while?" Yun Fenghuang said aggrievedly, "You still took it seriously, and I have regretted playing chess so many times. Even if you don’t let the concubine win a game, the concubine’s remorse is simply regrettable! Then what is the difference between this and you not letting the concubine regret the game? Then you still regret the concubine for the concubine! In this way, the concubine Didn't I suffer this grievance in vain?"

"Then don't let the concubine feel sad?"

Chunjia was suffocated by this logic, he simply summed up his experience a long time ago, that is, don't try to reason with Concubine Xian at this kind of time, it definitely won't work.

While remembering in his heart that he would never play chess with Concubine Xian next time, he changed the topic: "It's my fault, I will let you next time, is it done? By the way, I plan to give the three of them tomorrow and the next day." The royal sister was promoted to the eldest princess, after the imperial decree, the conferment ceremony has to be worried about by the concubine."

Yun Fenghuang first asked: "But I don't know what are the titles of His Royal Highness Jinyun and Penglai?"

Chunjia said: "I drew up a few and asked the two concubines to choose. Jinyun granted the title of Princess Yun'an, and Penglai gave the title of Princess Sui'an. After all, Minghui is a descendant, and Empress Ji didn't mention changing the title, so I didn't even move her."

At this time, the titles of the two concubine princesses were changed, but the concubine princess did not change. At best, the emperor respected the concubines, but at worst, the emperor hated the Ji family and did not want to see Minghui.

Yun Fenghuang and Princess Minghui couldn't talk about friendship, so naturally he didn't care about these things at the moment, he just said: "The empress is in good health recently, if the ceremony requires a concubine to come, I have to trouble the empress, she is in Yanfu The palace will take care of them for a while. Furthermore, Her Royal Highness Princess Minghui stayed in the palace this time and never came back...but only the two princesses were present at the enshrining ceremony, what should I do with Princess Minghui's portion?"

"The ceremony is for the two concubine sisters first. Anyway, this time the Jin seal is for their impending descent." Chunjia thought for a while, and said, "Minghui also came with them, of course they are the main ones. Minghui's For the portion, you pack it up and send it to the palace."

When he said that, Yun Fenghuang knew it in his heart, first of all, the fine clothes and jewelry should be attached to the two obedient golden branches and jade leaves, and Ming Hui, who was born in the first place, didn't need to be too concerned.

She responded with a smile, chatted with Chunjia for a few words, and asked casually: "Your Majesty will take the regent and his son to the Taimiao to comfort the late emperor, but I don't know that the concubine will be in the palace that day, what needs to be done?" What? For example, to copy scriptures and pray for the late emperor? After all, although concubines cannot enter the Taimiao, they still want to show filial piety for the late emperor?"

Chunjia smiled when she heard the words, and didn't answer immediately, but stretched out her hand to touch her temple hair, and then said gently: "Aifei is really pure filial piety."

These words were noncommittal, and Yun Fenghuang felt a little uncertain in his heart.

She was a little worried that Chunjia would get ruthless and use the harem as a bait, or in other words, use the harem as a reason to kill the Ji family openly?

After all, everyone in the world knows that the emperor was supported by the Ji family. No matter how stumbling between the monarch and his ministers, it is not clear from the outside world. Even if it is clear, the Ji family's support cannot be denied. Therefore, the Ji family did not openly do anything to defraud Chunjia. Chunjia directly targeted them. It is hard not to be considered mean and ungrateful.

But if the Ji clan murdered Chunjia's favorite concubine and even his sons, then it would be a matter of course for Chunjia to slaughter their nine clans.

Although according to her understanding of the emperor, the emperor should not be so frenzied, but she is not afraid of 10,000, just in case—just like the situation when she just entered the palace and wandered around, this kind of life and death honor and disgrace is not in her hands , The feeling of being only in the thoughts of others is really bad!

Yun Fenghuang thought for a long time, and came to a conclusion that Chunjia was the culprit who caused her to experience this bad feeling again.

It's the Gongxiang family.

If it wasn't for the decline of the imperial power, the majestic emperor would be restrained by powerful ministers... Would a concubine like her need to worry about government affairs so much?

She should just need to captivate the emperor's fans.

It's hard life to be with a miserable emperor, not to mention fighting with these Yingyingyanyanyans in the harem, but also to help stare at the front, tsk!

Pitying herself secretly, Yun Fenghuang resigned to her fate and asked Chen Zhu to look for some secluded corners and corners of the palace that few people go to and that are not well known. .

Otherwise, if the Ji family really mobilized in the harem, the first one would probably be to kill her...

Even Yun Fenghuang was very realistic, and arranged for the mother and child to hide separately at that time, so as not to be caught by the net, the main thing is that the children are too young, so don't hurt her if they cry at an inappropriate time.

Outside the palace, her natal family welcomed the imperial physician personally appointed by Concubine Xian the day after Xiao Luoshi left the palace.

The imperial doctor checked the Ping An pulse for everyone in the Xie family, and concluded that everyone was not seriously ill, but there were some minor ailments, especially Xie Lan, who was suspected of having a cold body, and might not be suitable for pregnancy.

This is very embarrassing, although relying on Xianfei and Xie Wuzheng, Luo Xun's family background is not qualified to say that Xie Lan can't give birth, but Xie Lan is not reconciled to raising a child for a concubine in the future, isn't she?

Fortunately, the imperial doctor said that the body cold is not serious. It is probably because the Northland is too cold. Even though Xie Lan has been kept in rich clothes and jade food, she has been tricked when she was not careful. The child will be healed in a month or two, and it will definitely not affect the childbearing.

The rest of the Xie family also gave similar suggestions, that is tonic and hot spring, so they must not ignore it, so as not to have a difficult life when they get older in the future. Of course the imperial physician is from Yunfenghuang, and since he didn't meet Mrs. Xie, he spoke very directly: "At that time, even if you all have the heart to contribute to the court, but if your colleagues feel that you have more than enough energy, I'm afraid that your majesty or empress will be fine. , and it is difficult to arrange."

So everyone originally thought that the Jiang family would arrive at the end of the year, and that the hot spring Zhuangzi could look for it after Xie Wuzheng's business was over, and now they didn't dare to procrastinate. They bought a Zhuangzi in two days, which was simple. After tidying up, all the female relatives lived there first—the Zhuangzi bought in such a haste must not be particularly satisfactory, but Gong's daughter felt sorry for her and thought it was important to solve the problem of body cold, at worst, she would go back and buy a better one for Jiang's.

Not only did she take her daughter with her, and she persuaded her sisters-in-law, nieces, nieces, and nieces to live in Zhuangzi outside the city, but also let Xie Heng and others take time to spend some time there. The nephew must not make any mistakes that will affect his future future. In the future, her children will need the support of brothers and sisters. How can they be a bunch of sick people?

...In short, with the cooperation of people like Xie Xiliu and Xie Heng, the Xie family has basically withdrawn from the imperial capital except for a few officials who need some help.

Even these few officials have begun to pick up some habits that they didn't have before, such as going to a brothel, drinking tea, watching a play, anyway, after they leave the office, they don't go back directly to the house, but wander around, which is not necessarily the case. live at home.

Xie Xiliu even raised a, no, raised a few outhouses, and set them up in separate courtyards, where he would sleep in one place and another, and even the valet couldn't tell where he would live at night?

These situations were passed on to Yun Fenghuang, she was slightly relieved.

Although it is said that once Chunjia fails, these people will not be able to escape no matter how well they hide now, but they can escape for a while, and if the Ji family fails, and the Xie family is dragged to be buried with them before the sad reminder, wouldn't she want to vomiting blood? There are many people in her Xie clan, and the most useful ones are basically in the imperial capital.

If something went wrong with this group of brothers and sisters, Yun Fenghuang would almost be so depressed that he would die on the spot.

When she was doing this, she was also staring at other people in the former court and the harem. According to Chen Zhu's description, the low-ranking concubines have no qualifications and no way to know anything, but among the high-ranking concubines, they all received messages from their families Warning, coincidentally behave well.

And the courtiers of the previous dynasty were also tacitly making private preparations.

As for whether this kind of preparation is loyal to the emperor, self-protection or desperate...then only they themselves know.

In short, the entire imperial capital seemed to be calm, and even the people who didn't know it were still discussing in private how grand and meticulous the royal family's ceremony to comfort the late emperor would be. In fact, it was already a close call.

In this atmosphere where the ignorant are ignorant and the insider is holding their breath, Chunjia once again surprised everyone!
