Chapter 179: Brother and Sister Secret Discussion
When Chunjia left the Spring Palace that day, there was no expression on his face, his thin lips were pursed into a straight line, although there was no expression of anger, but those who knew him well knew that the emperor was in a very bad mood.
However, the concubine Xian in the Huanhua Palace was breathing a sigh of relief: "I can come to see you tomorrow? That's very good, I'm also afraid of long nights and dreams."
The Qing people felt a little strange when they heard this: "Your Majesty, is this your plan?"
"Let the small kitchen make a few snacks that Meng'er and the others love to eat, and ask Brother Twenty-One to take them back tomorrow." Yun Fenghuang didn't answer her, but only ordered, "There are also things that I don't need at Ben Gong's place. Clothes and jewelry are also packed out to add some to the sisters-in-law."
After she had finished collecting the things Xie Wuzheng would bring back to her family tomorrow, she remembered to ask what Chunjia was doing today.
Hearing that the person went to the Spring Palace, he sneered slightly, "I don't know what that old godmother is trying to tease His Majesty again."
"Your Majesty always remembers you in his heart." The servant was reprimanded because of that, and he didn't dare to advise her at the moment, so he could only comfort her cautiously, "After all, the Empress Dowager said, Your Majesty doesn't want to listen to her, and she doesn't want to listen to her." no way."
Yun Fenghuang snorted and said with a smile: "I wish."
Anyway, she wouldn't put all her hopes on Chunjia's protection, and what if the Empress Dowager Yuan became ruthless one day, what if she cut it first and played it later?
Didn't she die too unjustly?
So at critical moments, you still have to work hard!
The hard-working concubine learned that Chunjia didn't invite anyone this night, and she still spent the night alone in the Taichu Palace. Before the palace door was locked, she sent someone to send a gift to Wei Hengyan from the Yijia Palace next door. The message, let her tidy up tomorrow, go to the Taichu Palace to coax the emperor, give him some warmth and care - anyway, during this period of time, the concubine Xian needs to hide her strength and bide her time, there is no Wei Hengyan and there are others in this vacancy.
It's better to take care of your own people.
Wei Hengyan was honest, um, maybe because he was too jealous of Yun Fenghuang, he didn't go to Taichu Palace to express his concern to the emperor the next morning, but came to Huanhua Palace first: "Sister, what happened these two days? Could it be possible?" Got into trouble with His Majesty?"
"Nothing, where do you want to go?" Yun Fenghuang smiled and glanced at her big belly, "You are about to give birth, right? I heard that it is best to take a walk now. Where are you going? , just in time to walk in front of His Majesty. You haven't seen Your Majesty for some days."
This is because Chunjia goes to the Huanhua Palace most of the time, and Wei Hengyan received a lot of pets before, but after she became pregnant, she couldn't sleep with her. If Chunjia had free time, she would go to sit and care about her. But during this period of her pregnancy, there were constant turmoil in the front and back palaces, and the emperor was incapable of dividing himself, so he couldn't be considerate.
Therefore, after Wei Hengyan came back from the palace, he almost met the emperor in private.
"Your Majesty is busy with government affairs, and my sister doesn't dare to disturb you." Of course Wei Hengyan wanted to see Chunjia in her heart, but in front of Yun Fenghuang, she had to put on a good posture, "It's my sister these two days... Excuse my sister Frankly speaking, it seems a little, um, tired?"
Yun Fenghuang glanced left and right, and the Qing people quickly took the lead and retreated.
"You were seen as a sister when I first entered the palace. There are some things that are not easy to tell the outside world, but you don't have to hide them from you." There were only two people left in the palace. It's nothing, it's just that the loving mother, the Empress Dowager... some think that this palace has escaped. In order to avoid embarrassing Your Majesty, this palace wants to avoid the limelight."
Only then did Wei Hengyan suddenly understand, and he asked with concern: "Did the loving mother Empress Dowager have any misunderstandings about my sister? My sister has always acted neatly, and she jumped out of her way!"
This kind of comforting words are meaningless, Yun Fenghuang said a few perfunctory words to her, implying that she will help her to be the assistant manager of the sixth palace after giving birth, Wei Hengyan was very happy, and forced her to talk for a long time If Fanbiao was loyal, he resigned happily.
After she resigned, she went back to Yijia Palace to pack up, and went to Taichu Palace to comfort Chunjia, while Yun Fenghuang also waited for Xie Wuzheng soon.
Xie Wuzheng didn't come empty-handed either, he brought some small clothes, which he said were made by Xiao Luo and Xiao Chen for the two emperors' heirs, and there were also things related to Yun Fenghuang, which were sewn by Xie Meng and Xie Kuo The purse and handkerchief: "Kuo'er is young, it is difficult to pinch the needle, and she pricks her hand several times. She has a tough temperament, and she didn't even cry once. But Meng'er, she is still a sister, and she has been impatient to make this purse several times. , was taught by the thirteenth sister-in-law, crying and clamoring to enter the palace to find the empress to make decisions."
A child, of course Yun Fenghuang didn't care about it, so he smiled when he heard it: "It's not very convenient now, in a few days, if there is a chance, I will pick her up to stay for a while. Long time no see, I really miss it." The kid's."
Thinking of Xie Kuo again, I asked a few words, and learned that she was a very calm, young and mature girl, she nodded slightly, "Let my brothers and sisters-in-law teach them carefully, and now the family is not the same as before. Whether it is a boy or a child, they all have to stand out. That's good."
Xie Wuzheng nodded in agreement, so the siblings cut to the chase and started discussing the wedding.
In fact, these two weddings have been planned for more than half a year, and they are already on the verge of completion, and there is no room for change. Therefore, I actually started talking about the wedding, and then Yun Fenghuang told Xie Wuzheng about Princess Sui'an's temperament.
This is... well, how does Yun Fenghuang know what kind of temper Princess Suian has?
Anyway, Yun'an and Sui'an, the two eldest princesses, have always been very obedient in front of her favorite concubine.
She chattered a few words absent-mindedly, looking for an opportunity to dismiss everyone else, then turned coldly: "Brother 21, do you know what happened in the palace for the past two days?"
"... But something happened?" Xie Wuzheng was slightly startled, and sat up straight.
Yun Fenghuang sneered: "The loving empress dowager wanted to eradicate this palace, and for this she did not hesitate to involve Qi Jiulu... Fortunately, Your Majesty still has some affection for this palace, and he tried his best to protect her in front of the loving empress dowager, and finally stabilized her for the time being!"
Xie Wuzheng frowned and sighed: "It's because the family is useless, and can't share the worries for the empress."
After a little thought, he suggested, "Your Majesty, now that she is the daughter of the Yun family, why not get close to Duke Yi's mansion? After all, even if Concubine Xie, the concubine of Duke Yi, gave birth to the fourth prince, she would not be in the palace." He is valued. The eldest prince raised by the empress is under the name of the concubine Shu, and the empress is considered to be the niece of Duke Yi. With these relationships, as long as the empress is willing, it must not be difficult to get closer to Duke Yi's mansion? "
"But I'm not Yun's daughter after all." Yun Fenghuang sighed, shaking his head and said, "Plus the fact that this palace entered the palace was calculated by Duke Yi's mansion, it's hard to say whether this kind of grievance is right or wrong, it's not that good It’s gone. Even if you try to win over the Yun clan and let them be the icing on the cake, I’m afraid it will be difficult for them to send charcoal in a timely manner!"
Otherwise, she is not the kind who doesn't know how to adapt, so why leave it unused by the Duke of the Great State?
"Besides, if you don't know what's going on outside, how can you not act according to hearsay? Originally, Xie's foundation is weak. If I clearly show the intention of supporting you, those who are interested will take the initiative to help you; otherwise, they think that after the adoption, my heart will be in the cloud. Shi, I don’t care about you anymore, just relying on Princess Sui’an, do you think you can get anything done?”
This is a matter of momentum.
Xie's foundation is too weak, and he has nothing in the imperial capital.
Yun Fenghuang, the favored concubine, took the initiative to show her attitude of valuing her blood relatives, so that they could be seen by all parties. Otherwise, most people don't even know about them, let alone place bets?
Xie Wuzheng pondered and said: "The loving empress dowager... Now that the Ji family is destroyed, the empress dowager cannot protect herself, and it is impossible to suppress the empress dowager... this..."
He lowered his voice, "But don't you know that the Queen Mother treats the Empress?"
"The Holy Mother Empress Dowager treats my palace well, but you also know that although Your Majesty is born of the Holy Mother Empress Dowager, she was brought up by the loving Mother Empress Dowager. Therefore, Your Majesty has always been close to the loving Mother Empress Dowager, treating her with consideration and respect, and even more so under the guidance of the Holy Mother Empress Dowager." Above the empress dowager!" Yun Fenghuang squinted his eyes and said slowly, "You haven't been to the residences of the two empress dowagers so you don't have a deep feeling. Come out and speak for me?"
What she said was that she couldn't, not that she didn't want to, Xie Wuzheng noticed, his eyes narrowed slightly, and he said imperceptibly: "Your Majesty, what do you mean...?"
"Didn't you say that you planned to go to Shanyuan to visit Sister Ji Lingzi?" Yun Fenghuang said softly, "The legacy of the Ji family is not limited to the court and the public?"
Xie Wuzheng understood, and said: "Your Majesty wants the former Empress to entrust you with the arrangement of the Ji family in the palace? I originally thought so..."
"No, I want you to persuade Ji Lingzi to hand over all of Ji's arrangements in the palace to the Empress Dowager." Yun Fenghuang said coldly, "And don't even mention us in the middle—just let The Holy Mother Empress Dowager thought that those people came to her because they wanted to find another backer after the Ji clan was destroyed."
Xie Wuzheng murmured: "Niang Niang, are you sure that the Holy Mother Empress Dowager will not oppose you after she obtains Ji's legacy in the palace?"
Yun Fenghuang breathed out, shook his head and said, "Who knows what will happen in the future? But you also know the friendship between the loving mother empress dowager and your majesty, although your majesty is still facing me now. But if this palace touches the benevolent empress dowager, you Do you think His Majesty can tolerate it?"
"Simply the Empress Dowager Mother has been at odds with the Empress Dowager Mother for a long time, but the Empress Dowager Mother is more respected by Your Majesty, so she has been suppressing the Empress Dowager Mother to death. It's okay when the Empress Dowager Mother has no power to fight back. If There is a chance to fight back... I don't expect her to do anything, I just hope that she can distract the attention of the loving mother Empress Dowager for me, so don't know all day long whether it is the one who is motivating His Majesty to find me!"
"Since this is the case, then we can't say this." Xie Wuzheng pondered for a while, and said in a low voice, "After all, the Ji family may not have good intentions for us. The empress dowager is at a disadvantage, but what if she pushes us to be scapegoats afterwards? She is your majesty's biological mother. No matter how angry or hated your majesty is, it is impossible to do anything. At most, it will be colder. But once the empress is involved, this matter will not be good Good."
"Even if you don't expose it, it's still a headache to use it as an excuse to blackmail the empress."
"How about reminding the Empress Dowager, take the initiative to go to Shanyuan Temple to discuss with the former queen?"
Yun Fenghuang pondered and said: "You're right, I think carefully about how to arrange it... But after you meet the former empress, don't forget to ask for someone on behalf of Bengong."
In this way, when the two empress dowagers started fighting each other, she could also clean herself up sideways, proving that she never thought of driving Chunjia's two empress dowagers to fight in the nest, but only cared about Ji's Yu Ze.
Just thinking about Ji's legacy, even if it is exposed, it's nothing.
The siblings discussed the details again and felt that there was nothing missing, so Xie Wuzheng resigned.
It was already evening at this time, Yun Fenghuang called someone to wait on him, and asked about Chunjia and Queen Mother Yuan by the way.
Chen Zhu said: "At noon, Wei Zhaorong went to the Taichu Palace with food, but was waved away by His Majesty after a short stay, and His Majesty has been dealing with government affairs since then."
As for the Empress Dowager Yuan, "Everything is as usual in the Spring Palace, but I heard that the empress dowager's temper has become a little irritable in the past two days, and she doesn't seem very happy."
Yun Fenghuang murmured, and said: "Let Yi Shi and the others take care of it. If His Majesty doesn't come to the harem today, they will send some soup to you later. Please take care of your Majesty."
At that time, if Chunjia wants to keep someone, she will stay. Maybe she can give her another cheap child.
Just when I was planning to come here, news came from outside, saying that the palace servants from Chunlan Palace had arrived, and it was said that the kind mother, the Empress Dowager, summoned the concubine Xian.
