Chapter 223 I Listen to You
When the emperor arrived at the Huanhua Hall, the night had completely fallen, and the wind lanterns were floating in the corridor, and Chunjia was a little surprised when Yun Fenghuang stepped on the wobbly lights and came out to greet him.
He thought that Concubine Xian was still angry now, so she shouldn't be in the mood to welcome him.
Then he thought that maybe Yun Fenghuang did it on purpose... She just wanted to use this well-behaved attitude to prove that he, like those courtiers, despised her origin.
After all, when she was "A Huang", she was willful, the kind of willful that is proud of being favored.
Now she removed the treatment herself, so as to vent her dissatisfaction with him.
Chunjia felt a little sad, he knew that Concubine Xian's move was mostly out of anger, and also had the purpose of forcing him to favor her more and support Xie more, but he still felt sad.
What surprised him was that Yun Fenghuang, who came up to him, had no intention of losing his temper at all. He accompanied him in with a smile as usual, and asked with concern: "Didn't your majesty say that you can't come? Why are you here again?" ? It's so late, have you ever had dinner?"
Before Chunjia could answer, she turned to Qingdu, "Ask the small kitchen to make a bowl of ginger soup for His Majesty to dispel the cold. Although it's not raining heavily, it's cold."
"..." Chunjia really wanted to say that you told me not to come. I never said I would not come. He wasn't surprised by the complete change in Shi Chen's attitude, and even took it for granted.
After all, with Luo Hanyi's background, apart from losing his composure in a fit of rage, how dare he take it seriously with the Son of Heaven?
But Yunfenghuang is different after all, Chunjia absolutely does not believe that she changed her attitude out of fear of her status as the emperor, and now he really wants to ask Yanyin to confirm immediately, are Princess Minghui and others still alive?
But if he did this, I'm afraid Yun Fenghuang would turn his face on the spot.
The emperor resisted the impulse, tried his best to pretend nothing had happened, and said slowly, "I used it for dinner with my mother, but I didn't use much. You have some porridge that is easy to digest here, and use it as a cushion."
Yun Fenghuang very readily sent people to the small kitchen to spread the word.
A concubine of her level now has four children in front of her, and the small kitchen is guarded day and night, waiting for orders at any time.
So the porridge came out very quickly. Yun Fenghuang personally handed him the bowls and chopsticks, and recommended one of the lavender pickles with a smile. Ask for a plate.
Chunjia took a sip, and it was indeed very refreshing, but he had no intention of tasting it at the moment, so he ate some casually, put down his chopsticks, and after rinsing his mouth with the tea that Yun Fenghuang personally handed over again, he glanced around and signaled The waiters all backed away.
"Why aren't you angry now?" When the two of them were left in the room, the emperor asked straight to the point, "Are you still arguing with me?"
"It's not that you're sorry for me, what did I do with you?" Yun Fenghuang said lazily, "I was too wronged and scared just now, so I complained to you a few words... Did you take it to your heart? "
Chunjia said: "Of course I won't take it to heart... It's just a little bit of hard work, and you're so calm, it's a surprise to me."
Yun Fenghuang said: "It's nothing, it's just that I figured it out no matter how wronged I am, I shouldn't be angry with you."
Seeing what Chunjia wanted to say, she shook her head slightly, motioning him to listen to herself first, "Today's court meeting, of course I was greatly wronged by an unreasonable disaster, don't you feel wronged? You are a majestic son of heaven! But today's meeting These people treat you with the same respect as the emperor? Who doesn’t know that you love me, that old screw? But they are still ganging up on His Royal Highness Princess Minghui and want to convict me! They think they are right, this I am thinking of the kindness of the late emperor! But have you ever thought about your position? Although you feel sorry for me, did you give me a seat at the court meeting today and tell me to sit down and talk slowly? It's not that you don't know, I It's only been a few days since I can get up, isn't it a time of weakness?"
"Keep Princess Minghui just arrived, so you set up a seat under Dan Chi!"
"This is not enough to prove that you are between me and Princess Minghui, and you are still facing Minghui? Do you always remember the late emperor's kindness in your heart?"
Yun Fenghuang sighed lightly, "What do the ministers think of you? I'm afraid you will favor me regardless and wrong Minghui?"
"Although you haven't said anything until now, I know that you must be very sad."
"But I still have to hold back to comfort the two empress dowagers and appease me... After you left just now, I think I can't blame you... I was too unreasonable to make trouble."
It was the first time for Chunjia to see her look so considerate, especially before he came, he had already prepared for Yun Fenghuang's all kinds of mischief. Even if the instinct in my heart was still vigilant about whether the concubine had changed her routine, she was still moved and said: "How could Ah Huang be making trouble for no reason? I have said that I will protect you, but today I failed to do so. Even in full view of everyone. Under the circumstances, I didn't even say a word to you uprightly...you..."
He sighed, "You are right to quarrel with me. I broke my promise first."
See, this is the benefit of being unreasonable at ordinary times and discovering with conscience at critical moments.
If Yun Fenghuang is Wei Hengyan's kind of tenderness who accepts it like water, and is sensible at the moment, even if he praises it, he will probably take it for granted in his heart.
"Why did you break your promise? Didn't you protect me? I'm not stupid. Princess Minghui forced you like that. Although you didn't directly refute her, don't you mean to help me?" Yun Feng Huang snorted inwardly, but said softly, "If you want to blame, you can only blame that old bastard. When the late emperor was here, I didn't see how loyal they were. It was Ouyang Yanran who said it was for The first emperor was demoted far away, but after being demoted, didn't he just be honest and dare not do anything for the late emperor? Otherwise, the late emperor was still in his prime when he died, and he had never heard of any debts to the emperor. Jia’s news, how can it be gone? It’s not because these courtiers are not up to date, they are either flirting with the Ji family, or they are like Wei Changkong or Ouyang Yanran, and they can’t be counted on if they go far away!”
"This bastard old bastard indirectly helped the Ji family to piss off the late emperor, but now he's here to pretend to be a loyal courtier!"
"Not a single good thing!"
Anyway, no one is sincerely on her side of Concubine Yun Xian!
If Chunjia was quite moved by Yunfenghuang's self-blame just now, it can be said that these words have reached Chunjia's heart.
For an emperor, and an emperor whose goal is to be the Mingjun of the Zhongxing Dynasty, the most shocking thing about today's court meeting is the protection of Princess Minghui by the courtiers - this is directly reflected, even if Chunjia Two years can be regarded as a lot of achievements, and he also killed the Ji family who was in power. His control over the temple is still not enough.
The ministers remember the late emperor Xiaozong, maybe it is for show, maybe it is for their own official reputation, maybe it is out of sympathy for a former emperor who has no evil and no heirs, or it may be sympathy for Princess Minghui... No matter what it is, Fundamentally, the courtiers lacked loyalty and respect for Chunjia.
Otherwise, they should look at Chunjia's face unconditionally.
Instead of thinking about themselves, or Princess Minghui's identity and mood.
Compared with the shock and anxiety brought about by this point, face and the like are just floating clouds.
After all, Chunjia has been gentle and kind for a long time, so she wouldn't easily yell at her. At this moment, she just caressed the concubine Xian's temples and comforted her: "I know, we are still young, just take your time, don't worry."
Take your time, sooner or later I will settle today's account with them! ! ! !
"Minghui is also ignorant." That's right! record! From now on, don't let any of this group of old guys who eat vegetarian food be let go! Yun Fenghuang nodded his head vigorously in his heart, thinking, otherwise Xie Wuzheng and the others would come out of their experience in a few years, and the superiors wouldn't give way, how could they be called the Marquis and the Prime Minister? !
After putting eye drops on the ministers, she continued to make a list of enemies for Chunjia, "Over the years, you haven't treated the three sisters well enough? Even if the boss Gan Gang made arbitrary decisions about the marriage, isn't it for their own good? See Yun After the two eldest princesses An and Sui'an descended, who didn't have a good time with Lele, who said that you have good eyesight without saying anything? What about Minghui? It can be said that Ji's work was the cause of the earlier marriage breakup. She is a young girl The children can't resist it. Now you have to help the regent and the empress dowager to embarrass you. Isn't this a dizzy thing? No one in the government and the public knows what the common man Ji Sheng did, so I don't believe her never heard of that!"
"Her mother made such a big mistake, she didn't say she tried every means to repay the debt on behalf of her mother, but she even resented you!"
"Sure enough, the Ji family is not a good thing. Like a mother, like a daughter!"
"So disobedient and unfilial, I don't know if she will go down in the future, how can she have the face to meet Emperor Xiaozong!"
Chunjia didn't have much ill feeling towards the three eldest princesses before, and even felt a little indebted.
After all, he hadn't gotten along with his own father very much, and his affection for King Duan of Fuyang was very weak. He didn't dislike Xiaozong as his stepfather, and he even thought that he should take good care of his stepfather's own daughters.
Even though Princess Ming Hui had blatantly opposed him this time, in fact, he was not very angry with the princess after he came down to court. He felt that the main responsibility lay with the Empress Dowager and the Regent. Especially the empress dowager, this is Minghui's direct grandmother, Minghui doesn't listen to her, how can he listen to himself, who is halfway up to be her brother?
But when Yun Fenghuang said this, he also felt a little uncomfortable, coughing dryly: "Minghui is young and ignorant..."
"Why is she so young?" Yun Fenghuang disdainfully said, "No matter how young she is, how can she be as small as my niece Kuo'er? Kuo'er is only so old. Her parents quarreled over her concubine brother, and she still knew how to persuade her mother Bringing her concubine brother to the imperial capital, saying that the whole family is united and harmonious is the right thing! If Princess Minghui has the right mind, she is a daughter of the former emperor, and you can't do anything with her. What can the empress dowager and the regent do with her? ?”
He muttered again, "It's not that she's going to help you tell the difference between the Empress Dowager and the Regent, but when those two are teasing her, whenever she thinks about your kindness to her, and that you are Xiaozong's heir, You brothers and sisters have fallen into a grudge, how can the Emperor Xiaozong under the Nine Springs feel at ease, how can this matter be made like this?"
"If you want to protect her, I won't say anything, but this kind of thing has two things... This time I narrowly escaped death, and from now on I will definitely stay far away from her, and I will never touch anything!"
"I don't know who she will cheat next time if she can't catch a loophole with me?"
Chunjia's expression turned ugly. Ming Hui, as Xiaozong's prostitute, once in a while, he thinks it can be forgiven and must be forgiven.
But if Minghui relies on this point to make troubles again and again, who can bear it?
How can the reputation he has earned through years of hard work be able to withstand such a toss?
uh wait...
Chunjia suddenly came to her senses, and looked at Yunfenghuang suspiciously: "What do you want to do with Minghui?"
After cooperating in circles for a long time, is he waiting for himself here?
"What do you mean I want to do something to her?" Yun Fenghuang refused to admit it, and slapped him lightly in dissatisfaction, Fang snorted, "Didn't I just say that because of your grievances? You still want her now Protecting her, what else can I say? Just bear with it, anyway, they are mainly dealing with you, and you are willing to do it yourself, how can I forcefully stop you?"
Chunjia comforted her: "The first emperor is just such a concubine daughter, and her biological mother has already passed away, so I can't care too much about her, it seems like I can't tolerate my step-sister."
Yun Fenghuang sneered and said: "I always only care about myself and the people I care about. What does the life and death of other people have to do with me? I can't be as thoughtful as you! Besides, I am a concubine who was conferred by you, not the first emperor." Canonized, why should you think about the flesh and blood of the late emperor, of course I only love you."
Chunjia seldom felt her unreasonable favoritism. Yuan Miuniang was actually very arrogant, but Yuan Miuniang's arrogance was mainly to protect herself. Yuan Niangniang asked him to help solve any troubles she had when she was a child, and lived under the protection of him and the Queen Mother Yuan all the time when she entered the palace, so Yuan Niangniang never thought about it in her heart, and Chunjia also needed her protection.
In other words, Yuan Niangniang never felt that she could protect Chunjia.
And Empress Dowager Yuan would often say to Chunjia things like you are the Ai family, who else would you do for you, but while the Empress Dowager Yuan was saying this, Chunjia didn't really believe it in her heart. .
It was just Yun Fenghuang's domineering and arrogant sentence "I only love you", Chunjia knew very well that her words were sincere, and at this moment she also intended to persuade him to deal with Minghui together, but she couldn't help but want to listen in.
The emperor's remaining sanity reminded him that he should refuse.
After all, he doesn't really hate Princess Minghui, and considering the overall situation, he has to show the stamina that a heir brother should have.
But when he opened his mouth, what he said was: "Well, I'll listen to you."
