Chapter 252: Yin Xuan Is Pregnant

"It's as if I've messed around with the empress dowager before." Xu Shi saw that Chunjia was buried in the case all day long, and there was a sweet white glazed plum vase on the case, with three or two branches of wintersweet inserted in it, and the fragrance was lingering. room full.

Yun Fenghuang stretched out his hand and plucked the plum blossom branches, and instead of answering, asked, "Tell me, what did I do last time?"

Chunjia pinched her forehead with some headaches, and said, "Didn't you say that you heard your mother's words and apologized? Then you seem to be apologizing!"

"Why didn't I go to apologize?" Yun Fenghuang burst into tears, and said aggrievedly, "Why didn't you tell me what I did in Yanfu Palace? It's not that I don't know the Queen Mother's prejudice against me, so I should go Entering the Spring Palace, you can see your sincerity! But do you know what the Empress Dowager said?!"

"In such a cold day, she asked me to kneel in the courtyard where the winter sun is less than a little bit and the wind leaks everywhere!"

"I just knelt when I thought about kneeling, I should just let her old man calm down."

"But wait and wait until she calms down, should I continue to kneel down? When something goes wrong, what will I do with the first four children?!"

Chunjia sighed, and said: "If you wait a little longer, I will pass by almost."

"And then?" Yun Fenghuang wiped away his tears and said with a snort, "Then my mother will continue to come into the palace to scold me, asking whether I am going to plead guilty to the empress dowager, or to find trouble for you?"

These words sound like emphasizing the strictness of the Jiang family's goddaughter, but they are not without the intention of giving the Queen Mother Yuan eye drops: You see, my mother loves you and doesn't want me to make you worry, but your mother doesn't care. This method leads you to smooth things over, and doesn't care that you are too busy with government affairs near the end of the year.

The emperor was silent for a while, and Fang continued: "The queen mother may not really let you kneel down for a long time... Maybe she will let go if you wait for a while. If you do this now, she will know later, and she will have to do it again." Make a fuss."

"Are you blaming me?" Yun Fenghuang said with tears, "When the time comes, the empress dowager will blame me, and I will go to ask for guilt, and it will be up to her how to deal with it."

"How can you be angry?" Chunjia pinched her forehead with a headache and said, "Didn't Aunt Zhanliu smooth things over for you today? In the future, she will keep an eye on it, so as not to let the queen mother know. I just... ..."

"You just hope that I can give in more, so as not to offend the empress dowager." Yun Fenghuang took over the conversation and said, "But to be honest, based on the empress dowager's prejudice against me, you think it's me who has been there all the time today. Can it be resolved by kneeling? Since it can't be done, I will keep my useful body so that you don't have to worry about me while worrying about government affairs. What's wrong?"

She suddenly said, "Don't you have to be happy if I drag my body and kneel down and make troubles? It's like the last time you fainted. Concubine De didn't do anything, but jumped on you to be happy when you woke up , you will be greatly touched. What about me? I - I have worked so hard, but you still think that I don't feel sorry for you and don't care about you! If I had known earlier, why would I get up? Just knelt down and died in the Spring Palace, and it's still fun!"

"The New Year is approaching, what nonsense are you talking about?" Chunjia felt somewhat guilty when he mentioned the fainting last time, but in fact, he didn't feel that Concubine Xian did something wrong, after all, he didn't want Concubine Xian to make any mistakes. , and he is really busy today, and he doesn't want to make a special trip to the Spring Palace unless he has to.

Like Yun Fenghuang, it is the most trouble-free for Chunjia to press the waiter of Chunlan Palace to fool the Queen Mother.

It's just that Yun Fenghuang has always acted a little unscrupulously, and this time when Zhanliu came forward to tell her, Chunjia always wanted to give the aunt who watched her grow up some face, so she wanted to take advantage of the situation and beat her up.

In the end, after all, it still didn't work out, but Concubine Xian planned to make trouble with him.

Chunjia hurriedly stopped, and said in a gentle tone, "I just thought that the matter of your imperial concubine Jin has not been settled yet, and now the empress mother is not happy, and I'm afraid there will be twists and turns."

Yun Fenghuang knew that his words were prevarication, but he didn't expose it. He wiped away his tears along the ladder and said, "Aunt Zhanliu is the empress dowager's confidant, and she is most worried about the empress dowager. With her in front of the empress dowager, she can still be called The empress dowager heard all that nonsense?"

Therefore, if the Empress Dowager Yuan finds out the truth about this matter in the future, it will be that Zhan Liu did not fulfill her responsibility, or even Zhan Liu did it on purpose!

"I promised you that I would draw up another title for you as a noble concubine." Chunjia coughed dryly and changed the subject, "I've been thinking about it for the past two days, do you want to take a look too?"

... On this day, Yun Fenghuang stayed in Taichu Palace until the evening before leaving, but Chunjia did not go to Huanhua Palace that night, but went to Yanfu Palace.

Seeing Chunjia approaching, Gu Zhen felt complicated, but had to stand up to greet her.

The emperor politely entered and sat down, and chatted a little gossip. Seeing that Chunjia didn't mention it, Gu Zhen took the initiative to talk about Yun Fenghuang's coming here to plead guilty: "The concubine's life is very unexpected. She is not in good health these days. Well, everyone knows, why did it become disrespectful to the concubine?"

This was taught by her left and right, saying that Concubine Xian is rightly favored, and Chunjia is partial, so one must not directly blame Concubine Xian.

Rather speak for the good.

Sure enough, now that she said that, Chunjia smiled slightly, the kind of smile that praised her for her sense of humor, and said gently: "She has also been raised for a long time, I think she is doing well, and indeed she should come to the queen Please."

See, if this is according to Gu Zhen's own thinking, saying, "Concubine Xian was very disrespectful to my concubine in the ceremony before and after, and she has been deliberately not coming to pay her respects, and she suddenly came here today to apologize, and I don't know what is sold in the gourd. Medicine", Chunjia might not say what.

Gu Zhen turned her head depressed, and said in a muffled voice, "That's true."

After a pause, he continued, "Concubine Xian went to Chunwan Palace later."

Because she was the successor who came to the stage in a hurry, her eyes and ears did not match her identity, so she knew that Yun Fenghuang had gone to the Spring Palace again. As for what happened to the concubine after she entered the Spring Palace, she did not find out.

Asking this question at this moment is not without tentative intentions.

Chunjia raised the corners of her lips slightly, and said in a slow voice: "Concubine Xian has been taking care of my mother's illness these days, because she is not feeling well in the middle, she is afraid of giving up her mother's illness, so she can go out now, so naturally I'm going to see my mother."

... Gu Zhen was expressionless.

This is not as fast as Ji Lingzi's reaction. If the former empress were here, she would immediately understand Chunjia's intentions.

However, after Chunjia chose Gu Zhen as her successor, she also knew her character, so she was not disappointed, and continued gently: "The New Year's Eve is coming soon, I heard that the harem discussed it before, and you want to move the seat?"

"...Yes, it was suggested by Concubine Xian." Gu Zhen held back his anger and said in a low voice, "There are still many high-ranking vacancies, and the people who serve His Majesty in the palace should bring some up."

Chunjia smiled and said: "I'm afraid Concubine Xian is just saying it casually, it's only reasonable for the empress to say such things."

Gu Zhen was stunned for a moment, and realized that the emperor wanted to put this matter in his own name.

If you think about the good, Chunjia still takes care of her, using this way of benevolent Liugong to show her special status and power as a queen.

But according to the way of taking care of Zhen, Chunjia is still thinking about Concubine Xian in the final analysis.

One is to promote Xianfei as a queen, it seems that this promotion is fair, just and open, not the emperor's selfish preference, and it is easier to convince the public; At the time of power, it was nothing to do with Shi En Liugong. Now that there is a queen, if the concubine Xian takes the lead, even if Gu Zhen doesn't fight with her, the outer court will still talk about the concubine Xian's pampering, Contemptuous of the queen, of course, is not good for Xianfei's reputation in the government and the public.

In fact, these days Concubine Xian said she was sick and refused to greet the queen, and there were already rumors in the outer court.

At this moment, if Gu Zhen followed the emperor's wishes, adding grace to the six palaces, including the concubine Xian, the outsiders would inevitably feel that it was true that the concubine Xian was ill before.

Combined with Concubine Xian's apology today, with the help of courtiers like Ouyang Yanran, it is necessary to reverse the perception of Yun Fenghuang.

In fact, Chunjia had always favored Yunfenghuang before, and Gu Zhen was used to it.

But this time, perhaps because Ji Lingzi was thought of today, Gu Zhen suddenly suspected that the emperor was planning to let her... in the future by defending the concubine's reputation like this?

She didn't dare to think about it, and lowered her eyes and said: "I am... stupid, such a thing, I can't think of it."

"What is the identity of the queen, do you still need to worry about the details?" Chunjia said gently but firmly, "Just give me an order and let the subordinates do it."

This is a direct decision, but it is for Gu Zhen to take the lead, anyway, regardless of whether Gu Zhen likes it or not, he will come like this.

"...Yes." Gu Zhen pursed his lips, nodding his head reluctantly, feeling really indescribably irritated, "It's just that the end of the year is approaching, I'm afraid I won't be able to keep busy, or should we wait until after the new year?"

Chunjia didn't object: "The empress can do as she pleases, you are the master of the harem affairs."

As if she could really make the decision, Gu Zhen bit her lower lip angrily, and seeing the night getting darker, Chunjia looked into the inner room, and she said: "I'm not feeling well today, but I can't serve Your Majesty." .”

Then I called a good-looking court lady and asked her to serve the emperor instead of me?

Chunjia frowned slightly, and said, "It's okay, I'll stay with you."

Gu Zhen was a little disappointed, although she already had two princes under her knees, but because of her biological mother, the third prince was not only out of luck with the high position, even if he worked as an errand in the future, he probably wouldn't be able to get any good rewards, and he must not be welcomed by the emperor The fifth prince does have the hope of the East Palace, but that also depends on him being able to grow up safely. So Gu's meaning is that since she can't have children anyway, she should seize the opportunity to recommend to the emperor who can have children, and then raise more children, and the royal family can't afford them. It's always good for Gu Zhen's stable status.

But Chunjia didn't give her a chance, and she couldn't do anything about it.

That night the palace passed peacefully, and the next morning, when Concubine Xian appeared in Yanfu Palace to pay her respects, the Sixth Palace had already calmed down.

At least superficially calm down.

It's just that this peace was shattered after all... It wasn't Yun Fenghuang, but Yin Jian.

After Queen Gu finished talking about the scene with a lack of interest and was about to let the crowd disperse, she announced that she was pregnant.
