Chapter 208: Concubine Wei De
The next day was Princess Yun'an's big wedding, and two days later, Princess Sui'an would descend—Yun Fenghuang didn't attend these two grand ceremonies because the residual poison was not cleared, so Qingdu was asked to represent him in Yaoyu Palace for them. Congratulations on adding makeup.
Of course, the eldest princess’s wedding was extravagant, including the eldest princess Yun’an. On the day when the eldest princess got married, Yun Fenghuang specially sent Zhu E back to Xie’s side for one night, and came back the next day to report : "The son-in-law likes Her Royal Highness the eldest princess very much, and the eldest lady also said that thanks to the matchmaking of the empress, she got such a beautiful woman."
Seeing Yun Fenghuang slightly nodding her head, she hesitated for a while, and said, "Young Master Eleven seems a little lonely."
"Who told him that he didn't have that fate? However, the future is long and he will do his job well. Can I find a way for him in the future?" Yun Fenghuang frowned and asked, "When did he express such thoughts? But in front of everyone at the banquet face? That would be too ignorant."
Zhu E hurriedly said: "That's not true. Yesterday, a lot of people poured wine for the son-in-law. The eleventh son and the others helped to block it. Later, the eleventh son drank too much and was helped to rest at the back. When the maid passed by the court, she saw He sat alone in the porch sobering up, so there were some traces, but when he saw the servant girl, he immediately restrained himself... Eleventh Young Master still knows the severity."
"That's good." Yun Fenghuang said, "You all know about Shangzhu. Originally, I wanted to recommend him strongly, but who told him that something went wrong at a critical moment? Although it has been changed to twenty Brother Yi, why are you all descendants of the Xie family, so he is no better than outsiders? He doesn't need to be dejected, it's not like he won't have a chance to rise to the top in the future."
She is happy to see Xie Fu's loneliness. There are many Xie's children, although the overall atmosphere is still united and friendly. With so many people, how could it be possible that they don't have their own little thoughts?
This kind of careful thinking is a good thing in Yun Fenghuang's view. It can not only promote their progress in competing with each other, but also make it easier for them to grasp the overall situation - otherwise, brothers and nephews will all hug each other, wouldn't she become Ji Lingzi's second ?
Zhu E was asked to convey the meaning of "continue to hold my sister and my thigh to try to take a shortcut next time", so he gave up, and did not have the slightest idea to resolve the grievances between the two brothers.
The princess descended and returned to the palace in three dynasties.
Princess Yun'an came first. After entering the palace, she went directly to Qingci Palace to kowtow, and then greeted the two empress dowagers, but still did not visit her biological mother, but went to Xuanqing Palace to greet her.
Yun Fenghuang was already much better at this time, so she dressed up a little, and leaned on the sickbed to see her: "Your Highness really ruined this palace. This palace is only a mere virtuous concubine, how can I afford it?"
Yun An said that they were often taken care of by you, Concubine Xian, when they were in the palace. Isn't it because you are still not well? Don't worry, let's take a look first, her mother-in-law also means the same.
The two sides exchanged polite words, Yun Fenghuang asked her how she felt after she descended, the eldest princess looked a little shy, and said: "The son-in-law is very good, and Mrs. Zheng treats me with great respect... The emperor's brother always chooses the right one. "
Knowing that Yun Fenghuang hadn't fully recovered, Yun An didn't stay long and left. Anyway, she didn't really come to talk to Concubine Xian, but she just expressed her attitude. I hope that Yun Fenghuang can give me some face when encountering things in the future. That's all.
After two days, Sui'an came back, similar to Yun'an, but after all, she was Yun Fenghuang's cousin, so she stayed in Huanhua Palace for a longer time, and told Yunfenghuang about Xie's situation—probably Mrs. Xie treats her very well, and her feelings towards Mrs. Xie are not bad either.
After greeting the two eldest princesses, Yunfenghuang was able to get up and walk around, so Chunjia didn't have to worry about herself too much, and worried more about the temple.
After all, the dispute over her poisoning hadn't passed yet: the regent had previously proposed that Princess Minghui was the real murderer, and Chunjia said that both Lu Chuncao and Minghui should be there to confront each other, which was agreed by all the ministers.
But Princess Minghui was in the palace, if she had set off the next day, she would have arrived by now.
But the other side said that the eldest princess was ill again, and it was difficult to move—because the two eldest princesses, Yun An and Sui An, were about to get married, and everyone knew Ming Hui's rejection, how embarrassing it was for her to come back at this time?
If the Ji family hadn't been destroyed, even if Princess Minghui regretted her marriage, no one would think that her marriage would be difficult. But now, with the downfall of the Ji family, the ruin of the birth mother Ji Sheng, and the loss of her own grandmother, she, the first daughter of Xiaozong, has become the most delicate of the three eldest princesses.
So it's understandable not to see the two younger sisters leaving the cabinet... There's nothing to do if you can't understand it, don't say that Princess Huichang hasn't been convicted of the crime yet, even if it is, Chun Jiaming can't do anything to her.
As the regent said, is this the first daughter of Emperor Xiaozong, or the only first daughter.
No matter how bad her biological mother was, no matter how sinful her parents were, she would still be bleeding the blood of Emperor Xiaozong.
Minghui said she was sick and refused to come back, so there was no urging here.
But the two eldest princesses have both declined, and she can't continue to delay, otherwise, whether Chunjia or the regent, there are plenty of ways for her to stay in the palace.
She was on the road right now, saying that she could not walk too fast because of her illness, and she could reach the Imperial Capital in about six or seven days.
At that time, the court meeting will inevitably have to tear up a game.
The kind where Chunjia and the Prince Regent go out in person.
After Chunjia was arranged, Yunfenghuang himself also picked up the palace affairs, and the first thing was to promote Wei Hengyan to the throne.
Wei Hengyan used to be Zhaorong, who deserved the concubine due to the merits of giving birth to a daughter, but Yun Fenghuang asked her to be concubine De - Chunjia felt sorry for her narrow escape this time, and agreed without much consideration.
Empress Dowager Yuan disapproved: "This is higher than Concubine Rui, isn't it a good idea? Gu Zhen is the empress, and the Luo family and Ouyang family are also promoted to the fourth concubine. Now the fourth concubine already has a virtuous concubine, and there are not enough seats. The Wei family wants to occupy one? Although the Wei family's father and brother are also officials in the court, but they are not as hardworking as the Luo family and their natal family, how can they be convincing to the public?"
In fact, after the Wei family sent Wei Hengyan into the palace, they also stood on Chunjia's side, but they didn't get the promise to make their daughter their successor, so they didn't have the motivation to work for the emperor...
"The men from the Wei family are indeed not as good as those from the Luo family." Chunjia persuaded the queen mother, "But Princess Dongxing was the elder of the clan, and she always spoke for us. She must give the clan some face."
The Empress Dowager Yuan knew that he was mainly looking at Yun Fenghuang's face, and she would continue to oppose her in the past, but considering that Concubine Xian almost died this time, the emperor must still be distressed now, and I am afraid that he will not be able to hold back him in the end. ... The corner of his mouth twitched: "It will be done."
So the next day, Wei Hengyan conferred the title of Concubine De, and the news made the six palaces restless for a long time——Wei Hengyan was not yet confinement at this time, so he entrusted his confidant to marry him to Huanhua Hall to thank him: "My mother is here today. The son cried for a long time, and said that your love can never be repaid, Madam."
"How can she cry when she is still in confinement? You don't want to persuade me?" Yun Fenghuang said gently, "Besides, it's not my palace's ability to make her concubine De this time, but His Majesty's respect." Her Royal Highness Princess Dongxing."
If the emperor really respected his aunt and grandmother so much, would Wei Hengyan be a Ronghua when he entered the palace?
The visitor was clear in heart, and did not show negligence because of this, but was extraordinarily low-key, thanked and thanked before resigning, and then Xie Xiliu received a generous gift from the Wei family privately, saying it was for him. Concubine Xian was shocked.
Yun Fenghuang just laughed: "It's not in vain for me to protect her, but this family is sensible."
She asked Dane to go to Yijia Palace, and told Wei Hengyan to stay in confinement and not to suffer from any problems, "I am still waiting for you to share my worries after confinement."
Wei Hengyan is happy here, but the others are not so happy.
Especially Luo Hanyi.
But at this time, the marriage between her concubine brother and Xie's daughter is about to start, and she has to add makeup to the quasi-sister-in-law-after discussion, the Xie family sent out the third daughter-in-law Xie Changxiu. The cousin, ranked nineteenth, one year younger than her, has outstanding looks, and is one of the most beautiful girls in Xie's generation.
When Mrs. Xie told Yun Fenghuang the news, Yunfenghuang was silent for a moment. Unlike Xie Lan, she was very familiar with the nineteenth sister.
... If Xie Fenghuan is Yun Fenghuang's thorn in the side of Sifang, Xie Changxiu is Yun Fenghuang's important opponent among the Xie family's daughters.
Both of them are the first-born daughters who are deeply loved by their parents, brothers and sisters. They have competed in various ways since they were young, from schoolwork to dressing to conversation to riding and shooting to being favored by the elders... On the surface they are affectionate, but in private they often tear each other up. Everyone still remembers that they are cousins, so there is still a bottom line: Yun Fenghuang has never been cruel to her, and Xie Changxiu has always been upset that Yun Fenghuang has Qi Jiulu, a leading peer in the North, as his fiancé, but he has never done anything right. The cousin's move instead.
"I remember that the nineteenth sister's riding and shooting is even higher than this palace. She has always been a character who likes to be active but not quiet... The Luo family is from a famous family. I am afraid that she likes gentle and gentle people. She married Is it appropriate to give it to the son of the Luo family?" Yun Fenghuang thought for a while and still raised a question.
After all, although Luo Hanyi has been under the influence of many times, he still recognizes Luo's status in the imperial capital.
Frankly speaking, the parties to this marriage are actually going to sacrifice.
The Xie family's lintel is too low, marrying the Luo family, if you use the name of this in-law, it will give the children who will marry in the future a price.
Therefore, as a prostitute who married into the Luo family, De Rong's words and deeds had to be on the stage.
Otherwise, it will ruin the reputation of Xie's family education, so how can you quickly grow your family by marrying various families?
Yun Fenghuang felt that Xie Changxiu was inappropriate, this cousin's temperament was not inferior to hers, she was afraid that she would not be able to bear that grievance.
"The big house is the owner, and the second house also has a son who has become an official, and now Kuo'er is under your knees." But Qingdu said, "The fourth house has you, no other house can compare to it, the fifth house's Lan The young lady may have given it to the imperial guards... the third room has nothing, and I have gone to the old lady and the old man to cry several times, and the lady has no choice but to recommend the nineteenth lady."
The implication is that if you forcibly replace Xie Changxiu, you will either find another girl from Sanfang who is not out of the cabinet, or it will be difficult for Jiang Shi to be at home.
This matter can't be entirely blamed on Sanfang's troubles, after all, it's not a matter of scarcity but inequality - if Yun Fenghuang was in Sanfang, she would definitely make trouble too.
Don't say that the big family, the second family, the fourth family and the fifth family will not forget the third family. Since they have not forgotten, why can't this marriage be given to them? Is it possible that after the other houses grow stronger, let the third house eat leftovers?
She then sighed: "Forget it, it's also good for the nineteenth sister to join the Luo family, so she shouldn't be wronged."
It's just that the Luo family may make a fuss. After the end, everyone knows that Xie's daughter is fierce. It will not be so easy for future sisters to marry into a noble family.
However, the internal harmony of the Xie family still needs to be taken care of, and Yun Fenghuang can only admit it: "Everyone is not worried, I still have to look at it..."
From now on, she will have to hold down Luo Hanyi, so that Luo Shi will be more wary.
There is no need to worry too much about the marriage of the two cousins, Yun Fenghuang, because it was all facilitated by the emperor's needlework, and there will be no accidents if Chunjia does not fall.
She probably let it go after inquiring, but privately urged Chunjia to agree to give Yi Xingen Qu Hongzhuan Feng Jieyu: "These days they have taken care of me very well, and Yishi is Zhaoqing's biological mother, so I don't know what to say." It should be decent."
Chunjia was opposed by the queen mother because of the concubine de, and worried that she would dislike her this time, so she didn't think much about agreeing: "They are from your palace, and they should serve well. And after conferring Jieyu, they will Will move out to live alone in the first palace, wouldn't it be inconvenient to serve you close by then?"
In order to stop Yun Fenghuang's mouth, he also specially called the two palace concubines to come to him, and asked them if they wanted to go out and take charge of the first palace alone, or stay in Xuanqing Palace to serve the master's position nearby?
No matter what Yi Xingen Qu Hongzhuan thinks in his heart, how dare he choose the former?
They all said in unison that they wanted to stay and serve Yun Fenghuang, please don't dislike them.
Chunjia said calmly: "Look, Ah Huang, it's not that I don't want Jieyu's position, it's these two concubines who don't want you. If you really love them, why do you have to send them out? There are so many Jieyu in the palace. What does Jieyu have to do with you, but how can you get used to it without such a suitable person to serve you?"
Yun Fenghuang stared at the two concubines with hatred for iron and iron, and when Chunjia left, he scolded them for their stupidity: "What did I say before? Why did you get confused when things came to an end? Or do you think I am a fool?" Let me tell you, I don’t intend to let you out?!”
The two palace concubines admitted their mistakes very well, and both expressed that they wanted to be in Xuanqing Palace absolutely sincerely.
You can lie to ghosts with these words, it's not that your brain is flooded, who doesn't want to be in charge of a palace and close the door to make decisions for yourself?
Yun Fenghuang was too lazy to talk to them, and said bluntly: "After the former empress left the palace, the position of empress became vacant. I was born in a humble family, so I will definitely not be able to sit in that seat. Before joining with Concubine Rui and the others, I decided to give it to the palace. Adding some people to the high position is just for your consideration... Now that I am in charge of the Sixth Palace, after entering the Yanfu Palace, even if I can still be in charge, I will not be ruled by the Queen, and my hands and feet are bound?"
"When the time comes to discuss something, there will be no one to help. What does it look like?"
"If you don't take advantage of the fact that there is no one in the Yanfu Palace, His Majesty will push you up with a single word on the matter of status. Do you still expect that after the canonization, you will agree to let you each take charge of the first palace?!"
He also said earnestly, "You all entered the palace with me, and you are only sixteen or seventeen years old this year. You have been a concubine, what are you doing? Even if you give birth to an emperor's heir, won't you be raised by me? Grace does not raise grace, look at your majesty's treatment of the two empress dowagers as an example. Although I will not let the emperor's heirs be alienated from their biological mothers, but you are not incapable of having children in this palace. concubine?"
"Furthermore, although you all come from humble backgrounds like this palace, you have relatives and relatives to some extent? If you don't become a concubine for a day, it will not be your turn to order your wife to enter the palace to meet and reunite... Isn't this tempting?"
After scolding and teasing, Yi Xingen and Qu Hongzhuan also regretted what they said, but they still didn't dare to show it, they only listened to the master.
Yun Fenghuang sighed: "If you miss this time, it will take some time to bring it up again... But I hope the successor canonize later. With the looks of the two of you, who will like your concubine as successor?"
And sent them away.
It's just that the two concubines probably really had bad luck, because within two days, Princess Ming Hui hadn't returned to the imperial capital, and someone mentioned the matter of successor at the court meeting.
The reason is ready-made. Concubine Xian poisoned people in the deep palace. Whether the real culprit was Lu Chuncao or Princess Minghui, it all reflected the fact that it was not a problem that the harem had no owner.
In the past, when Ji Lingzi was in Yanfu Palace, even if the ex-mother and empress dowager murdered the concubines, they would use hidden three corpses to rub them secretly.
It can be seen that the position of the middle palace should not be vacant.
Leaving aside who came forward to say this, the regent was the first to respond, and then said that Concubine Rui was a virtuous and virtuous concubine of noble birth, and her grandfather was a famous loyal party during Xiaozong's time.
