Chapter 245 Aunt and Nephew Against Each Other
Yuan Cistanniang was only wearing her middle coat, it was the end of autumn and the beginning of winter, although the earth dragon had not yet been burned in the palace in spring, the weather was already very cold.
When she knelt outside to pay her guilt, her lips were blue from the cold.
After entering the hall, he saluted according to the rules, then bowed his head without saying a word.
Empress Dowager Yuan got angry when she saw it, and said calmly, "Ms. Cistanche, what do you look like?!"
"Anyway, the matter has been done. The Empress Dowager takes pity on Sister Niangniang and takes care of Sister Zhiniang, but she doesn't care about my concubine at all. Even if I am a concubine, it is useless to beg for mercy from you now, but why bother?" Yuan Cistanniang said indifferently. , "Do whatever the Empress Dowager likes."
"If the Ai family doesn't care about you, do you think you can enter this palace?!" The Queen Mother Yuan laughed angrily, "Even if you don't have the ability to please the emperor, who is short of you in the palace these days? , the speed of one application is not better than yours at home?! I have wronged you by co-authoring and giving you such an opportunity?!"
Yuan Cistanniang sneered slightly, and said: "Your Majesty is young and powerful, and I am a mere concubine. It is a blessing to be able to serve him. I will never dare to forget the empress dowager's great kindness!"
"Since you know what is good or bad, the Ai family will ask you, why did you kill the second princess?" Seeing her attitude, the Queen Mother Yuan was going to be furious, and was persuaded by Zhan Liu in a low voice, holding back her anger and asking, "Second princess Could it be possible to offend you at such a young age?! Even if it was the fault of his adoptive mother, Luo Shi, why would Aijia ignore you if you come to seek justice from the Ai family?!"
This is the truth, although the Empress Dowager Yuan neglected Yuan Cistanniang the most among the three nieces, she was a real aunt and nephew after all.
It's one thing that she usually doesn't ask Yuan Yuniang much, but it's another thing when other concubines bully Yuan Yuniang.
Especially in Chunjia's Sangong and Sixth Courtyard, with the special exception of Yunfenghuang, it really didn't take much effort to clean up the other concubines, Queen Mother Yuan... The other concubines didn't have the guts to confront Queen Mother Yuan.
So Empress Dowager Yuan was very angry. If she really didn't care about Yuan Yuniang's life and death, it would be fine if Yuan Yuniang was wronged and went to the front to take revenge, but she didn't!
Of course, the most important thing now is to ask how Yuan Cistanniang reached out to Yanlan Palace.
Therefore, seeing Yuan Yuniang turned her face away and refused to answer, Queen Mother Yuan still held back her attacks and asked her in a deep voice, who did she listen to incite her to do such vicious actions?
"Since I entered the palace as a concubine, I have been arranged by the empress dowager under the hands of sister Lianniang." Yuan Yuniang didn't speak at first, but when she saw that the empress dowager was really angry, Zhan Liu also helped to persuade her to confess honestly , so as not to spoil the harmony between sisters and nephews, of course Yuan Cistanniang didn't care about the harmony between sisters and nephews at the moment, she just thought about not wanting to suffer for nothing, Fang Leng snorted and said, "I always look at her face, everything, everywhere, So, at this moment, apart from listening to Sister Lianniang, who else can I listen to?"
Empress Dowager Yuan directly asked someone to go up and slap her: "The Ai family originally thought that you were Yuan's daughter anyway, so I will give you a chance anyway. Who knows that you are a lowly maid who is not born on the stage, so do this by yourself. Waiting for evil things, not thinking about mistakes, but slandering my sister, really deserve to die!"
When the queen mother asked, Chunjia was listening, and when she saw this, she hurriedly persuaded her to calm down.
As a result, before he could finish his sentence, Lady Yuan Cistan sneered after being slapped twice, and suddenly said loudly: "The empress dowager thinks that a concubine born as a maidservant should not be on the stage, but why is your majesty not born by concubine Ji?" ? So the Empress Dowager has always looked down on Your Majesty?!"
Hearing these words, the queen mother was dizzy for a while, and she almost fainted on the spot without being angry - because of the queen mother, Chunjia never liked to directly deal with the Yuan family, especially Yuan's daughter.
But now I can't take care of it anymore, and immediately ordered someone to gag Yuan Cistanniang and drag her out of the palace, and then stepped forward to support the Queen Mother so that she would not be seen like Yuan Cistanniang: "She knows that the crime is too serious to be forgiven, so she specially picked words to poke your heart, Why do you have to take it seriously? How come you don't know about the child? The upbringing and support of the past twenty years, is it possible that she can instigate it with such a few words? "
Empress Dowager Yuan just shed tears, and said: "The Ai family was stunned by this lowly servant girl. Those words were specifically scolding her. How could they mean the whole world?"
"My child knows." Chunjia coaxed, "Don't be angry, whose family has too many children who are disobedient and unfilial? Just treat her as that type, and punish her if she is punished, don't worry about what she said Some don’t.”
Zhan Liu and other attendants were also nearby to persuade the Queen Mother to calm down, saying that it was Yuan Yuniang who was not good, who murdered the emperor's heir first, and instigated the mother and son of the Tian family: "Look, maidservant, she is probably jealous of Mrs. Chunke and Mrs. Zhaoyuan. Those two are concubines, but she is not. But even if they are all sisters, there is a superiority, let alone the matter of concubine, Mrs. Chun Ke is His Majesty's childhood sweetheart, or the Queen Mother, you brought it up with one hand Yes, and gave birth to His Royal Highness King Qi and the daughters of the Yuan family, who can get past her?"
"Empress Zhaoyuan, she was also brought up by her aunt and recorded in her name, and she was carefully raised. In terms of talent, appearance and virtue, she is not inferior to the four of the Luo family and Ouyang family, so she was named a concubine together!"
"She is nothing more than a bit of color, and she entered the palace because of the love of the empress dowager. What's wrong with being a palace concubine and living a good life with Mrs. Chunke?"
"It can be seen that people's hearts are not enough, and I can't blame anyone. It's only her own fault!"
The empress dowager, who was so talkative, finally stopped her grief and lost her interest in questioning, and said to Chunjia: "The Ai family will not talk about this lowly servant girl, and the Ai family does not want to ask any more questions! If so, let's kill him directly." To the outside world, it is said that she has a poor life and cannot bear the blessing of being a palace concubine, and there is no sudden illness."
In fact, Chunjia wanted to ask again, because whether Yuan Cistanniang was teased or bewitched or out of her own heart, she was definitely not capable of murdering the second emperor's wet nurse herself.
And why choose an unimportant emperor's heir's wet nurse?
It's just that the Empress Dowager Yuan's heartbroken look at the moment made him very unbearable, so he nodded and agreed, and after thinking about it, he turned around and took Yuan Cistanniang to ask the bottom line.
After this matter was settled, Empress Dowager Yuan lost interest, and went directly to the bedroom to rest, and let Chunjia go on her own.
"Your Majesty, why should you be sad? The servant girl is watching from the side. Your Majesty really didn't take that to heart." Zhan Liu accompanied her, and when she saw that she was still depressed after entering the bedroom, he persuaded her, "You are raising Your Majesty single-handedly." You don’t know that His Majesty is never the kind of narrow-minded person? He treats you as your own mother from the bottom of your heart.”
Empress Dowager Yuan sighed for a long time: "No matter how much you treat him like your own mother, his real biological mother is still there!"
It’s okay not to mention this, but it’s a headache to mention this dipping willow: "It’s all a thing of the past, why should you... that is also a sensible person, hasn’t he been very sensible all these years? If not, she I wouldn't make a fuss about going back to Fuyang County before. Although Your Majesty is filial to you and didn't say anything, I'm afraid I feel pity for her."
"..." Empress Dowager Yuan was silent for a while, and said, "As for today's matter, do you think that person from Jiashan Palace is really sensible? If she is so sensible, she can calmly persuade Ai's niece?"
Zhan Liu was startled: "You mean?"
"Today's matter, from the words of Cistanniang's little maidservant's birth, the Ai family knew that it was probably done by Jiashan Palace." The Queen Mother Yuan said with a sneer, "She is revenge and a warning...but it doesn't matter. The Ai family has been able to suppress her for so many years, are they still afraid that she will turn out the palm of her hand? If it wasn't for Fuyang Zhuang Concubine deliberately keeping her to add trouble to the Ai family, the Ai family would have sent her down as early as when the emperor's son landed. The former king! Later, the concubine of Fuyangzhuang passed away, and the emperor was old enough to know his birth mother and aunt, so he spared the life of that lowly maidservant for the sake of the emperor's obedience and considerateness. Unexpectedly..."
She didn't continue talking, but said slowly, "Mianniang is useless. During these years in the palace, her methods of governing the palace are not as good as that of Xiaoyun's! Niangniang did so many tricks right under her nose. You actually don’t know anything! Go, let Yuan Zhuhua think about it, and stop thinking about Li Shi’s pregnancy. The Huzhu Palace is like a sieve, even if Li Shi gave birth to a prince for Niangniang, can she keep it? It's all a problem!"
Zhan Liu sighed, and said, "The maidservant will go now."
After hesitating for a while, she didn't leave immediately, but asked in a low voice, "Then, Jiashan Palace?"
"She is still lying on the couch and pretending to be dying. Even if the emperor knows what she did at this moment, the emperor's heir will be fine anyway, and the big and small things will definitely be resolved." The Queen Mother Yuan narrowed her eyes. Hit her, don't mention it now, and wait."
... Yun Fenghuang nestled in the Huanhua Temple for most of the day, and Chunjia finally came back when it was time to light the lanterns, and his face was not very good.
She welcomed the person inside and sat down, first greeted the meal and tea, and then asked how the second princess was doing, whether it was important or not, and whether the other wet nurses had checked?
Chunjia answered absent-mindedly, and Yun Fenghuang began to put eye drops on Luo Hanyi, saying that even if the second princess wasn't Luo Hanyi's own, Xuan Jieyu was too careless about the emperor's heir.
Otherwise, there are now a total of eight heirs in the palace, like her, like the Yijia Palace next door, and there is even more than one heir under her knees, why is nothing wrong with Luo Hanyi?
Speaking of the short time in the palace, Concubine Rui also raised the second prince under her knees, didn't you see this happen in Concubine Rui's Palace?
It can be seen that it's all Luo Hanyi's fault: "However, it can't be all her fault. After all, the second emperor's biological mother, Mrs. Liang, was sent by Xuanqing Palace, and she was not born and raised in Yanlan Palace. It's human nature not to be able to get close, but it's also your flesh and blood, she can love and protect it like her own, and at least fulfill her duty as a concubine and protect her!"
"I can't even protect my descendants, so what's the use of having her as the master!"
Chunjia sighed, and said, "How much do you dislike Luo Tieyi?"
Yun Fenghuang's purpose was seen through, and her heart was awe-inspiring. She didn't care about being considered jealous by Chunjia and deliberately suppressing Luo Hanyi.
Therefore, he frowned and said, "What does this have to do with Luo Tieyi? If this happened to Concubine Rui, I would definitely say the same thing. Originally, Xuan Jieyu didn't care about the second princess, so it's nothing Secret. Even if it didn't happen this time, I would still find a chance to beat her up. Mrs. Liang was always sensible and well-behaved when I was in my hands. She was a good person and sent her to Xuan Jieyu. This time even the second emperor was shocked! If I, the former lord, don't speak, isn't the sixth palace going to despise the people who go out from me even more?"
He also said, "Furthermore, Mrs. Li is now in the Huzhu Palace. Are there still few concubines who are gone from the Huzhu Palace? Although I don't like Mrs. Li very much, I don't want her to follow in the footsteps of Mrs. Liang. .”
Chun Jia was distracted immediately, and sighed with a smile: "It is dangerous for a woman to give birth, Liang's is the same as Chen's, it is not the master's doing."
"I still believe in Concubine De, but it's hard to say for Xuan Jieyu." Yun Fenghuang snorted, "Even if she didn't do it, at least she doesn't care!"
Tired of Chunjia asking him how is Yuan Niangniang's temperament recently? Has it gotten better or worse? Or is it the same as the palace concubine killer before? Is Li's survival rate high after giving birth?
Chunjia was quite helpless, and said: "It's just a concubine, are you so stingy?"
After all, he can't guarantee whether Yuan Niang will be killed or kept after Li's delivery...
Seeing Yun Fenghuang's reluctance, he coughed dryly and said, "Stop talking about it, the queen mother is very angry today, can you help me think of some ways to make her happy?"
