Chapter 222 Within Ten Steps, There Must Be Fragrant Grass.

"This is only temporary." Chunjia said softly, "You should know that this situation cannot last forever. Maybe it won't be long..."

"Maybe it won't be long before I die?" Yun Fenghuang interrupted him, "The master who poisoned me still doesn't know who it is, does he?"

Chun Jia was a little speechless.

Yun Fenghuang lowered his eyes, fiddled with the accessories around his waist with his fingers, and said in a cold tone, "I don't want to tell you this, otherwise it will appear that I am just like Yuan Niangniang, and I will only lose my temper with you when things happen!"

After exhaling, she raised her head, "Since the two empress dowagers are having a fight today, you must go to the Spring Palace? You can go to other people's places at night, I want to be alone."

"..." Chunjia was silent for a while, then said, "OK."

When Sheng Jia left, Yun Fenghuang asked Chen Zhu to roll over: "Then what happened to the court lady in front of Princess Cai and Ming Hui?! Why didn't you mention anything when you helped her beg for the palace?!"

When Chen Zhu heard what happened at the court meeting early in the morning, he was terrified. Now he knelt down in front of her, and couldn't help crying: "Damn my servant! When this servant came to beg for her, how could she have such a relationship? But she didn't want to rely on The life I was rewarded by the empress survived, and she didn't want to repay her, but instead ate the inside and outside to frame the empress! Fortunately, the empress is smart and intelligent, and auspicious people have their own talents, otherwise, even if the slaves and servants spend their lives as cattle and horses, they will not be able to atone for their sins!"

Yun Fenghuang's face was gloomy: "Trash! This is someone you know, and he arranged for me in private, but you don't know anything about it! Then what use is there for me to have you as a slave!"

"I beg your mercy!" Chen Zhu prostrated himself on the ground with sobs, reached out to reach the hem of her skirt, and swore that this was just an exception, and there would never be a next time.

The Qing people in Qingdu looked hesitant, wanted to help but did not dare, in the end, Honge relied on her young age and was usually tolerated by Yun Fenghuang, so she mustered up her courage to say a few words of love, saying that since Chen Zhu provoked this matter , if Chen Zhu hadn't been allowed to tie the knot, otherwise it would have been too cheap for Chen Zhu.

... Mainly, Xuanqing Palace can't find a second person to temporarily replace Chen Zhu.

If he was really shot in a fit of anger, Yun Fenghuang might not know anything about leaving Huanhua Palace in a short time.

This is your responsibility.

Yun Fenghuang's face was sullen, and she looked expressionlessly at Chen Zhu who was kneeling in front of her and begged for mercy. Not too loyal, or simply someone else's eyeliner. Therefore, among the first servants who served him, he chose the clever and young Chen Zhu as the chief steward of the Xuanqing Palace.

Because Chen Zhu is young and has little qualifications, she is afraid that he will not be able to suppress the subordinates, and her unstable status will affect her work, so she usually praises Chen Zhu a little bit... In this way, Chen Zhu can be regarded as a good man, and he quickly stood up , but there is also a shortcoming, that is, among the waiters of Xuanqing Palace, there may be some small disputes among the maids, but the internal waiters are undoubtedly led by Chen Zhu.

The eunuchs below cannot compete with him.

In this way, if there is no this time, there will be a next time, Chen Zhu will slack off sooner or later.

In other words, the matter of the Cai family has become a turmoil and cannot be concealed. Didn't Chen Zhu have any other omissions that she didn't know about?

She should have promoted another servant, the one who opposed Chen Zhu, wouldn't it be more motivation for the two servants to compete with each other.

And if they don't try to undermine each other, then Cai's activities may have been discovered and reported to her long ago.

Yun Fenghuang reflected secretly, and said slowly: "Chen Jing."

Chen Zhu, who was still crying and pleading guilty, trembled when he heard the words.

He wanted to pray and looked at the main seat, but he didn't dare, so he could only continue lying on the ground, sobbing and begging.

The one who was called up was a young eunuch who was about the same age as Chen Zhu. He forced himself to be ecstatic, and knelt down on the autumn-colored 氍毹 extremely humbly: "The servant is here."

"From now on, you will be the chief steward of my Xuanqing Palace." Yun Fenghuang declared expressionlessly, "Chen Zhu did not act well and put his palace in danger. He should have been punished severely! But he was the first to serve One of the old people in this palace, and he has always been quite diligent..."

She pondered for a while, "I'll be punished with a staff of forty, half a year's salary will be confiscated, the position of chief manager will be cut off, and I will be demoted to deputy manager, and I will be Chen Jing's deputy, just to see what happens later!"

Forty court rods can actually kill people, but since Yun Fenghuang said that he was also appointed as the deputy chief, the executioner naturally knew in his heart that he would not kill people.

Of course, there was no escape from the crime, Chen Zhu would have to lie on the couch for at least ten days and half a month.

Even so, Chen Zhu heaved a sigh of relief, there was no vice-manager in Xuanqing Palace originally, of course Yun Fenghuang said so, and there will be one in the future... After all, he was not beaten to the end, which shows that he still has hope in the future.

As for the master he was serving, it was not impossible to send him a roll of straw mats to the mass grave in a fit of anger, this time he was showing mercy.

He kowtowed gratefully and unwillingly to thank him, and before stepping back to receive the punishment, he quickly glanced at Chen Jing.

This former subordinate was standing in his usual seat, pinching Yun Fenghuang's shoulders with a flattering smile, the corners of his eyes and brows were full of pride.

Yun Fenghuang closed his eyes, enjoying the hospitality of the people below, thinking about what to do next?

She believed in Chunjia's ability, and it was fine if she was unprepared before. Now that the plan to delay the attack was successful, the next headache should be the Prince Regent and the others.

But she can't count on Chunjia for everything.

Mrs. Cai must die. In the past two years since she entered the palace, it was rare for her to do a good deed. Although it was a simple task and she had the idea of ​​using it in the future, it actually saved her life.

In the end, not only did this lowly servant girl fail to repay her well, but she even tricked her with Ming Hui... This kind of white-eyed wolf who will repay her kindness not only has to die, but also has to die so horribly that he can imitate you!

It's just that the Cai family can't die for the time being, otherwise wouldn't the frame-up of Princess Ming Hui be more confirmed?

Oh, by the way, there is also the eldest princess, who was not so annoying when Ji Sheng was still there. It seems that this daughter can't do without her mother, and she must be arranged to go down to reunite with Ji Sheng as soon as possible.

And the Regent...

And Lu Chuncao...

When I think of Lu Chuncao, I think of Lu Qidao...

Thinking of the faces of those old guys in the temple...

Think about it again, there is hardly a single good thing in this world! ! !

Yun Fenghuang slapped the table angrily, frightened the left and right, together with the newly appointed chief executive Chen Jing, knelt down and pleaded guilty.

"Is your empress worried about today's court meeting?" She let out a breath slowly, realizing that she was too emotionally unstable, and was about to slow down her tone to let them get up. Who knows, Chen Jing hesitated, but came from behind her. He came out on his knees and said in a low voice, "This servant is willing to share the worries for the empress."

"What worries can you share for me?" Yun Fenghuang laughed a little when she heard the words, she understood that Chen Jingcha's favor was just when he was trying his best to show it, and if he usually didn't mind helping to build a reputation, But at this moment, he just waved his hands in a disinterested manner, "Forget it, you all go down, I will stay alone for a while."

Qingdu and the others quickly agreed to file back.

Chen Jing was still kneeling on the ground.

Yun Fenghuang became a little impatient, and looked up at him: "What's the matter?"

"Your Majesty, forgive me for your boldness. Now that you have both sons and daughters, your status is noble, and you are favored by the emperor, you can say that you can rest easy in this harem!" Chen Jing kowtowed and said solemnly, "Everyone who worries is here. Forward!"

"Huh?" Yun Fenghuang squinted his eyes, became a little interested, propped his cheek with one hand, and said, "Do you have a solution for the worries of the past?"

Chen Jing smiled lowly, revealing a bit of prey, and moved her knees a little forward, gently grabbed her skirt, and said in a low voice: "Today, the court will fight back and forth, but in the final analysis, I still haven't made it clear. Who is the real culprit who murdered the empress!"

Yun Fenghuang said lightly: "Why didn't you make it clear? Didn't Princess Minghui recognize her? She is a dignified golden branch and jade leaf, the flesh and blood of the first emperor. What can I do with her? Not only can I not do anything to her, but I almost give her She apologized with death!"

"Your Majesty, the former empress has not been in good health for the past two years. My empress has been helping the former empress manage the six palaces not long after she became a concubine. In this palace, who can compare with your empress when it comes to strict governance?" Chen Jing smiled. Smiling, he said meaningfully, "Even the empress was murdered by others in her own palace, and she almost survived, let alone other people?"

"..." Yun Fenghuang's eyes lit up, and his originally slack sitting posture straightened up a little bit, and he said with a smile, "Continue talking."

Chen Jing also smiled: "Your Majesty, isn't Your Highness the Eldest Princess wholeheartedly taking the charge of murdering the concubine on herself, and you don't even want to excuse her with your kindness? If that's the case, then let's help her. In this palace, even the Empress They can all be disgraced, let alone other people? There are so many people who have been discriminated against, but they don’t know, can our Royal Highness, the eldest princess, still afford it?”

"I'm afraid it's too obvious." Yun Fenghuang was already moved, but he still said, "I'm afraid I won't be able to convince the civil and military of the Manchu Dynasty."

Chen Jing chuckled: "It's fine if you can convince the ladies of the Sixth Palace. The maidservant dares to tell the truth: What is your status and status in the palace, my lady? But under the misuse of the legacy of the former emperor, even you are in a hurry to deal with it. Or is it the case that His Majesty cares about you in private. If you change any other empress casually today, even if it is His Majesty's future successor, do you think there will be a way to survive?"

"Originally, the eldest princess and all the ladies in the palace, the well water does not violate the river water."

"But she started this now, if the ladies don't pay attention to it, then, in the future, if Her Royal Highness the Princess doesn't like anyone, she will lie down for a few days and say that she was murdered, and then she will kill the lady who doesn't like it... ...who can stand it?"

"The most important thing is that the eldest princess had a twists and turns in her earlier marriage, so far there is no candidate for a son-in-law. In addition, the concubine Ji Sheng only went there. In case she has to observe three years of filial piety before she descends, during these three years, the Six Palaces I'm afraid I have to confess her like an ancestor. Even this may not stop her from looking for trouble, Madam, don't you think so?"

Not only that, but the key point is that Princess Ming Hui has obviously taken the side of the Regent and the Empress Dowager now. If this is the case, she is making an enemy of Chunjia, so how can she look good when she sees Chunjia's concubine?

And Chunjia's concubine, even if she is willing to put down her figure and become a lowly one, she can't treat Minghui like this. What if she is rejected by Chunjia?

Of those people who were forced to marry when the emperor got married, who is living comfortably now?

Yun Fenghuang thought more, these days because of the selection of successors, the front court and the harem regarded her as a thorn in the flesh, and they felt that with her around, the old and the new would not be able to secure their position as the queen.

There will even be twists and turns in the East Palace in the future.

It's all right now, if it works properly, it's hard to say in the previous dynasty, but the concubines in the harem can be hated by another person.

As a favorite concubine, she can at most overwhelm other people, and not every enemy she wants will be killed. For example, Gu Zhen, Cui Lianye, Jia Pingye, etc. are still alive and well?

Even Yuan Niangniang and Lu Qidao are not dead yet.

But what about Princess Minghui?

As soon as he made a move, he was blatantly framing and driving people to ruin.

Backed by the legacy of the former emperor, Yun Fenghuang's means of status as the emperor's favor were barely escaped, and there is still more to say.

Let alone others?

At that time, it's okay if the princess doesn't call names, whoever she calls will die... Which concubine can tolerate such a sister-in-law?

Especially those of Ouyang Fulu with good family background, because they are helpful to Chunjia, they may be cleared by Minghui someday.

Yun Fenghuang quickly sorted out his thoughts, and looked at Chen Jing again, with clear admiration in his eyes: "It seems that I have wronged you before, and you should have been promoted long ago for your talent!"

"Being able to serve the empress is a blessing accumulated by servants for eighteen generations. How can there be any grievances?" Chen Jing said quickly, "And without the influence of serving the empress these days, the slaves have not been able to share the worries for the empress."

This servant is much cuter than Chen Zhu, he is witty and sweet-mouthed, there must be grass within ten steps!

Yun Fenghuang was very satisfied, stretched out his hand to touch his face, and said softly: "It's a good job, I will never treat meritorious people badly!"

... This evening Chunjia came out of the Chunlan Palace. It was raining lightly in the twilight. A small piece of purple bamboo was planted in front of the Chunlan Palace. At this moment, there was a slight rustling sound. It was not noisy in the vague night, and it became more and more peaceful. .

He stood on the white marble steps and looked at the rain curtain for a moment, before boarding the chariot of God.

Yan Yin asked cautiously: "Your Majesty, where are we going?"

"..." Chunjia was silent for a while, and the people who carried the emperor's chariot felt a little tired, so they heard him say slowly, "It's better... let's go to Huanhua Palace."

Although Concubine Xian told him to go to another place, she wanted to be alone, and he also knew that she was angry now, and he was afraid that she would not listen to any persuasion and comfort, but he was worried in the end.

If Concubine Xian is still angry after leaving, just call a concubine in Xuanqing Palace to serve her.

Chunjia sighed in her heart, didn't Concubine Xian want a prince under her name?

Maybe she would be happier with it.

It's just that he doesn't like it.

Over the years, there were too many things he had to do and say that he didn't like, and he was used to them.
