Chapter 181 Concubine Xian in Action

The next morning, after Yun Fenghuang finished dressing and had breakfast, she summoned Chen Zhu to her and spoke alone: ​​"I remember that when you were away from the summer heat last year, you came to find a concubine from Ranxiang Palace. Have you passed this palace?"

"That's Mrs. Cai from the side hall of Ranxiang Palace. When she was serving the concubine Wu who is gone, she took care of her servants." Chen Zhu said quickly, "I heard that even the doctor girl didn't like her if she ate up her belly. At that time, the master was thinking about the common man Ji Sheng going to Shanyuan to pray for blessings, but no one cared. The servant boldly begged the empress, and the empress was kind, so she immediately sent the imperial doctor to treat her and saved her life. She was originally Baolin's , Later, the empress promoted the sixth palace and was promoted to Chenggui. Speaking of which, Cai Chenggui has been thinking about the empress all the time, but she is ashamed of herself and dare not come to disturb you."

Seeing Yun Fenghuang groaning slightly after hearing this, he asked in a low voice, "If your empress is willing, Cai Chenggui..."

"There's no need for this." Yun Fenghuang came back to his senses, and chuckled, "For me, what happened back then was nothing more than a little effort, and I don't expect her to repay."

But since she mentioned this person, it is obviously not for nothing.

Chen Zhu speculated about his master's thoughts, and said in a low voice: "If the empress has any errands, Cai Chenggui will definitely go through fire and water, and I will not hesitate to do so!"

After all, not everyone can have the opportunity to hold Concubine Xian's thigh without mentioning kindness.

"The reason why she asked for this palace before was because Ranxiang Palace did not have a master seat. If there was a master seat, how could you help me with such matters?" Yun Fenghuang asked in a deep voice, "Now Ranxiang Palace has already Someone has made the decision, but I don't know how she is related to the leader?"

"Yin Zhaoyi is from everyone's family background, so he is very well-behaved." Chen Zhu carefully chose his words, "I heard from Cai Chenggui that Zhaoyi Xu came from a noble family, and she still has a bit of a temper, but she usually doesn't pay much attention to people in the palace. So it's all right."

In the eyes of Yin Xuan, who just entered the palace at the beginning of this year, a concubine like Cai Chenggui, who entered the palace when the emperor got married, and has never been able to make a good appearance since then, is no threat, worthless, and is just thrown in the palace anyway. It's just a decoration in the side halls and pavilions, so don't pay attention to it.

Therefore, there is no relationship or hatred between the master and this group of palace people.

Chen Zhu used the word "everything is safe and sound" really accurately.

Seeing that Yun Fenghuang didn't speak immediately, he paused, and asked tentatively, "But the empress thinks that Cai Chenggui's move is inappropriate? Should I get closer to the master? If so, then the slave girl will turn around and mention Cai Chenggui?"

"There's no need for this." Yun Fenghuang shook his head and said, "Yin Zhaoyi came from a noble family, and when she first entered the palace, she didn't even pay attention to me. It's just the opposite. I'm just thinking, since Cai Chenggui is an old man who entered the palace when His Majesty got married, should he be familiar with all the concubines in the palace?"

Chen Zhu nodded: "Cai Chenggui entered the palace as a court lady before Emperor Xiaozong passed away, so she is the one who watched His Majesty ascend the throne and get married."

"That's good." Yun Fenghuang showed a meaningful smile - she discussed with Chen Zhu alone for a long time before sending him out.

The morning was calm and the sea was calm, and it was almost time for lunch that the former court sent a message, saying that the emperor would arrive later and would have lunch with Concubine Xian.

Yun Fenghuang then asked the small kitchen to cook Chunjia's favorite dishes, and waited for him dressed up.

When Chunjia arrived, he chatted with her for a while, hurriedly ate his lunch, and after rinsing his mouth, he waved back and asked her what did she say when she was called by the loving mother Empress Dowager yesterday?

"The loving empress dowager said that I should repay you for the kindness I have received from you, so that I can share your worries." Yun Fenghuang smiled, and said lightly, "I told the empress dowager lovingly that this is what should be done in the first place." thing."

Chunjia looked at her expression and saw that she was calm, and always felt that something was wrong.

He pondered for a while, then said in a deliberate manner: "My mother...has been very worried over the years, and sometimes it is unavoidable, um, just a little overwhelmed. If her request embarrasses you, you can tell me that I will go for you Explain to the queen."

How can this tell you?

If it's other things, you don't need to talk about it. It doesn't matter if Ben Gong cried, made trouble, or hanged herself, or talked about the hype, I have already thought of ten or eight ways to persuade you to come forward and tear it up with your mother.

Yun Fenghuang thought, but the Empress Dowager Yuan asked her to kill Qi Jiulu, in the name of helping Chunjia cut off the regent's wings.

And because she had torn face with the regent in public at the Mid-Autumn Festival banquet, she turned her head and told the emperor not to let the regent go - but now it was her ex-fiancé's turn to embarrass her and soften her hands , I don’t want to do it anymore, can this not make the emperor suspicious?

Because of her earlier death, Chunjia was very jealous of Qi Jiulu.

At this time, if you really foolishly hand over this problem to Chunjia for help, you may fall out of favor just around the corner.

Yun Fenghuang just smiled at him as if nothing had happened; "Don't worry, Your Majesty, if there is really trouble, it's up to you to say that I am a concubine? I will definitely go to His Majesty for help."

She had no intention of confessing. Chunjia was silent for a while, but did not reveal anything. She only asked the two children to see if the time was about the same, and then went back to Taichu Palace to continue handling government affairs.

After he left, Yun Fenghuang slowly withdrew his smile, looked at the court with an uncertain expression for a while, and then asked someone to summon Concubine Rui to discuss matters.

"I don't know what orders the empress has?" Concubine Rui came here frightened. The atmosphere in the harem these past two days was very wrong, and most people noticed it, but they couldn't guess what happened. I was a little panicked when I was called to Huanhua Temple.

"I'm thinking about what happened in the harem recently. The Empress Dowager is sick, and the condition of the two Empress Dowagers has not improved. Should I add some joy and cheer?"

Concubine Rui didn't know what Concubine Xian's purpose was for saying this, so she expressed her position cautiously: "The concubine obeys my mother."

In fact, she was not very willing, because the elders of the four families were negotiating who to be the successor-the new successor always wanted to be kind, right?

Therefore, from the standpoint of a successor candidate, it is best not to move anything in the palace now, and not to move anything that needs to be moved, and then deal with it when the successor is on stage, just to show authority.

But the real-name opponents of Yun Fenghuang are almost all cold, and Rui Fei thinks that she should look at Luo Hanyi's example instead of others, and she should be more well-behaved.

Yun Fenghuang was very satisfied with her attitude: "After all, the two eldest princesses are about to descend. It is really unlucky that there are successive incidents in the palace at this moment. Why don't we choose some sensible and meritorious Jin Fengs?" Let the six palaces have fun!"

Concubine Rui was startled, and quickly analyzed: As for being sensible, it is the one who decides. As for credit, how can seeing Tianguan serve the emperor in the harem?

Of course it is meritorious service to have children!

Thinking about Yun Fenghuang's Zhao family and Yi family, and the pregnant Li family, it's better to just say that she wants to promote her concubine.

As far as Zhao and Li are okay, their status is very low, and the promotion is still a concubine, so the influence is not big.

The problem is Yi Xingen.

Because she is recognized as the number one beauty in the Six Palaces, she is also very well-behaved and attentive. She serves Yun Fenghuang very attentively, and is very appreciated by Yun Fenghuang. She was promoted all the way from Cai Nu, and she became a nobleman when she was pregnant. According to the tacit understanding of the harem, The palace concubine will have a Jin seal when she becomes pregnant and gives birth. If she was favored, she would even be promoted once when she was pregnant, once when she gave birth to an heir, and once again when the heir was full moon - giving birth to an heir can be promoted three times!

As Yun Fenghuang's direct descendant, Yi Xing'en cannot be wronged in this respect.

As a nobleman, she jumped several ranks in a row. After giving birth to the eldest daughter of the emperor, she was promoted to Ronghua.

It was also the emperor's eldest daughter, Man Yue, who was given a name and a princess. She was already in the limelight, so Yun Fenghuang didn't mention her concubine Jin.

Now if she wants to be promoted, then it's fine to just be promoted to Yipin. If Concubine Xian is the same as before and plans to let her skip a grade, then... it will be Jieyu!

"What the empress said is that it's just a big matter. I haven't done it before, but I'm afraid it won't work." Concubine Rui definitely disapproves in her heart, because even if she doesn't consider the successor, this Jinfeng will not treat her well. Any benefit would strengthen Concubine Xian's power.

But she didn't dare to object directly, so she wanted to resign the job first, and go back to complain in front of the loving mother, the empress dowager, and others, so that those who dared to stop her would come out and stop her.

But before she finished speaking, she heard Concubine Xian say, "There's nothing wrong with this. Aren't you very orderly in handling palace affairs these days? Let's see, what are the concubines in the palace like? The lord is the clearest. Let the lords of the palaces report a group of people, and those who check if there is no bad deeds can be canonized... It is really good, and there is nothing wrong with being a concubine. The many vacant palaces in the left and right palaces have never been empty. Going to live is not an option either. Isn’t it a pity that a good palace is so deserted?”

"As for some palaces where there are concubines but no lords, then let the lords vote with a show of hands, how about it?"

Concubine Rui was stunned when she heard the words, and subconsciously asked: "If it is a palace concubine who has never given birth, may she be a concubine?"

Yun Fenghuang looked at her, and the corners of his mouth slightly curled up: "Why not? To put it bluntly, besides Concubine Xie who has a son and Mrs. Chun Ke who gave birth to his majesty's sons, whoever personally gave birth to children in this palace ? We can be the master, why can’t those concubines who are both talented and well-educated can’t be praised?”

"...What Your Majesty said is true!" Repressing her excitement, Concubine Rui nodded heavily, "I am on behalf of the Sixth Palace to thank you for your kindness... But, I don't know about the kind mother Empress Dowager and Your Majesty, have you ever agreed?"

"The loving mother, the Empress Dowager, is ill, and I dare not disturb her. As for His Majesty, I am somewhat sure of persuading him." Yun Fenghuang said leisurely, "However, I don't recommend reporting it right away. After all, we have to ask the meaning of the six palaces, and wait for everyone to agree, and then report it? Otherwise, the loving mother, the empress dowager, and her majesty nodded, but we ourselves can't do this or that. Isn't it disappointing the loving mother? A kind gesture from the Empress Dowager and His Majesty?"

Concubine Rui understood in seconds, now that the mother and son of the emperor may not necessarily agree to it, but if the six palaces agree with it, the success rate will be greatly increased-if only a few concubines such as Yi Shi are promoted, not only Rui Fei, the others will definitely be unhappy too.

But now Yun Fenghuang means that every concubine can recommend a concubine to be promoted, and can recommend a concubine to be canonized directly as a concubine!

How could people like Concubine Rui disagree?

This is a good opportunity to come to your door to strengthen your own power!

It is impossible for an ordinary concubine to be a queen, and she is willing to cultivate a few of her own people to help her; even if Concubine Rui is consciously able to become a successor, isn't this not successful yet?

The probability of choosing one of the four, once you lose, you will stay where you are.

It's better to seize the benefits in front of you first.

In this way, even if she is still just a concubine, at least she has saved a manpower, right?

Even if you become a queen in the future, you will still need someone to help you. Ji Lingzi and Chun Jiayuan have two generations of phoenix masters to help hold the battle. It was done by Jia Pingye, and a cousin Zhaoyuan was there to assist.

What's more, the successors on the way, the palace has long been surrounded by hills, and there are six princes and princesses!

At this moment, Concubine Rui nodded her head in agreement, but she was already thinking about how to persuade them if the loving mother Empress Dowager or the emperor disagreed... At this moment, Zhu E rushed in from outside in a panic, regardless of Concubine Rui's presence , screamed: "Your Majesty, it's not good! The eldest prince suddenly went into convulsions!"
