Chapter IX Unexpected Information
In this way, he probably knew what the emperor and the imperial concubine were doing while they were waiting, but the imperial concubine was not embarrassed at all.
Yun Fenghuang continued to dress up calmly, without turning her head.
Chunjia's skirt was not completely covered, a small piece of chest was exposed from the slightly open collar. The young emperor did not completely abandon his bow and horse even after he took office, so his texture is solid and well-defined. Because of the cloud and rain just now, he is still glowing with a faint crimson color at this moment. Suave.
Rou Kun couldn't help looking more, Chun Jia noticed it, but didn't care, took a sip of tea in a leisurely way, and cast a questioning look at them.
For Meng Youyi, Rou Kun, and Luo Hanyi, the treatment in front of Chunjia and the status in their hearts are all equal.
It's not a special love, but it's not a dislike either.
For the sake of his family background, Nian has always been gentle and amiable.
Not too indulgent, but not excessive demands, slightly rude behavior, and will not care too much.
At this moment, Chunjia saw that they didn't talk about things immediately after they came in, so she was gentle and concerned, and asked them if they were scared last night? And it is said that they have worked hard to serve the Empress Dowager these days... Seeing that the third concubine was still respectful and shy at the beginning, Yun Fenghuang twitched her lips.
I really need to pay attention, it's been so long since I came here, and I just remembered?
But even though she knew that Chunjia was just acting, she was still unhappy, and coughed dryly: "Your Majesty, since they have been waiting quietly outside for a long time, it can be seen that they are not very frightened and there is nothing urgent. Most likely, they just come to say hello. let's go."
...In fact, the third concubine really came here to greet her at first.
But unfortunately, the three of them ran into each other.
That's all for Meng Youyi, Luo Hanyi and Rou Kun have always been at loggerheads, isn't this just a pinch?
Originally, if I was alone, I heard that the emperor and the imperial concubine were alone in the room, and the servants were not allowed to approach without summons, and they would not wait, leaving a servant to guard, so I would go back to my residence first, and come back after I got the report. In the end, Luo Hanyi and Rou Kun were in a stalemate just like that.
In this situation, if Meng Youyi left, it would be disrespectful to the emperor and the noble concubine.
It's fine for the emperor, everyone knows that Chunjia doesn't care much about such insignificant matters.
The key is the imperial concubine, if this one doesn't care about it, it's fine, if it matters, then...
Meng Youyi didn't want to make herself feel guilty for being negligent for a while, so the third concubine had to wait for a long time.
Now that Yun Fenghuang said so, Meng Youyi and Xuan Zhaoyi are fine, but Rou Kun sneered: "Why is the imperial concubine so eager to drive us away? Your Majesty is not your Majesty alone!"
Come, come, this silly alien princess started to find fault with the imperial concubine again.
Xuan Zhaoyi squinted at Roukun calmly, hiding the gloating in his eyes.
To be honest, although she doesn't like this Princess Weihe, since Rou Kun entered the palace, the number of noble concubines targeting Yanlan Palace has plummeted, and because of her hatred, she was pulled away by Rou Kun.
However, Roukun didn't have a long memory, no matter whether he could beat or fail, he would charge first and then talk.
For example, at this moment, it is obvious that everyone can be sent away just by letting the imperial concubine say a few words, Rou Kun insists on jumping out and singing the opposite tune.
"I want you to leave, just give me an order, why bother to drive you away?" Yun Fenghuang raised his eyelids, and said with a half-smile, "So you are here specifically to find His Majesty? But I don't know why. What's the matter? If you don't speak seriously, I will set up some rules for you, lest you are young and ignorant, disturbing His Majesty from time to time, and delaying state affairs!"
Rou Kun said with a sullen face, "What qualifications does the imperial concubine have to label me? If you want to disturb your majesty, just now you and your majesty have been in the room for a long time, are you discussing state affairs?!"
"It's done, don't say a few words." Seeing the imperial concubine narrowing her eyes slightly, Chun Jia, who knew her nature, coughed dryly and said, "Rou Kun, what's the matter with you?"
"...I want to speak to His Majesty alone!" What's going on with Rou Kun? It's just not angry.
At this moment, I was a little speechless, seeing Yun Fenghuang's eyes sweeping over like knives, he became more and more jealous, couldn't help raising his chin, and said with a smile, "I don't want the imperial concubine to listen!"
Chunjia smiled, with well-disguised impatience in his eyes: "If what you are talking about is about the palace, it is originally the noble concubine and the queen who are in charge, so how could the noble concubine not listen?"
Coaxing Yunfenghuang as an ancestor is already very worrying, Chunjia's requirement for the concubines other than Yunfenghuang is to be sensible, gentle and worry-free, and not to cause trouble for him.
But obviously Rou Kun is not sensible and docile, and doesn't worry about it.
She insisted: "Anyway, I don't want the imperial concubine to listen!"
He even went forward to pull Chunjia's arm in front of Yun Fenghuang, and said coquettishly, "Your Majesty will agree to me?"
"State-owned state law has family rules, and this is the rule in the palace." Chunjia raised her hand and stroked her hair, taking advantage of the situation to avoid her pulling, and persuaded in a slow voice, "Besides, I am busy with state affairs, so I don't have the energy to worry about it." The harem? The queen and concubine have always handled all matters well, but why do you have to avoid the concubine?"
He decided in his heart that Rou Kun would be left out in the cold next time.
Although he knew that this young concubine of a different race was just jealous, but didn't he look at who his opponent was before getting jealous?
Just because of Rou Kun's provocation and deliberate intimacy at this moment, Chun Jia is determined to turn around and Yun Fenghuang will definitely provoke trouble.
How can Rou Kun compare to the level of the noble concubine's troublemaking?
Rou Kun is just a little girl losing her temper, just coax her.
I really don't want to coax her to vent, but it doesn't help.
But once the imperial concubine gets into trouble...
God knows what kind of movement it will be?
"...But what I want to talk about is not about the harem, it's about state affairs!" Rou Kun saw that his tone was gentle, but his attitude was very firm, and his heart ached, he couldn't help stamping his feet, and blurted out, "About Wei He, Why should the imperial concubine listen?!"
After a long while, in the flower hall, Xuan Zhaoyi gloated and persuaded Yun Fenghuang: "Your Majesty, please calm down. Mrs. Rou Kun has never been a law-abiding person. It is not a secret that she often hates you, Your Majesty. Fortunately, His Majesty's heart is always with Your Majesty." Yes, don't be as knowledgeable as Mrs. Rou Kun. She is an outsider after all, can His Majesty alienate your mother because of her?"
Yun Fenghuang glanced at her coldly, Xuan Zhaoyi's smile was slightly froze, and she was about to say something, but Concubine Wan quietly pulled her sleeves, hesitated for a while, and then said nothing.
"Madam Rou Kun wants to stay and report state affairs to His Majesty, what about you two? Do you have state affairs to discuss with Your Majesty?" Yun Fenghuang raised his eyebrows and said slowly, "If not, what are you doing here? Waiting for the Palace Can't you keep the meal?"
Xuan Zhaoyi was quite ashamed and annoyed, she endured it before forcing a smile and said: "Your Majesty, I don't know if His Majesty came to visit in person, would the Empress Dowager be willing to go back to the palace? If the phoenix is about to move, the concubines can teach the servants to pack their luggage .”
Yun Fenghuang said lightly: "Your Majesty didn't say anything about it, maybe the Empress Dowager devoted herself to practicing, she still won't leave for a while."
Sending out the second concubine in this way, Qingdu looked at her face, and comforted him cautiously: "Your Majesty is just talking to Mrs. Rou Kun, so how can you really take it to heart?"
"How can such a person deserve my anger?" Yun Fenghuang shook his head and said, "I was only thinking about Wei He."
When Rou Kun's father, Mu E, ascended to the position of Khan for the first time, his position was not stable, and his brother Hele was watching over him, so Mu E sent his prostitute daughter to the Central Plains as his concubine in exchange for the support of the Central Plains, in order to frighten Hele and others.
According to the position of the Central Plains, it is actually hoped that Mu'e and Hele will fight.
But there is a problem here, that is, Mu E is not a fool. He sent his prostitute to serve the emperor of the Central Plains with a very humble attitude, and he did not force the Central Plains to send troops to help. Just don't dare to act rashly.
If Zhongyuan still refuses such a favorable condition, what will he do?
He happened to have a reason to persuade He Le and the others: Central Plains has great hostility towards Wei He, and he wished for brothers to fight each other so that they could take advantage of it!
In this way, Mu'e can turn Hele and others' dissatisfaction with his succession to the Khan throne into a common hatred against the Central Plains.
It must be known that the relationship between Wei He and the Central Plains has never been very good, the war was fought only during Xiaozong's time, and part of that generation is still alive today, and the enmity between them has not been forgotten.
The success rate of such provocation is very high.
Zhongyuan didn't want to be a target for Mu E, so he took Princess Roukun's hot potato.
At this moment, Rou Kun was forced to say that she wanted to reveal Wei He's news to Chun Jia... What kind of news was that?
According to Yun Fenghuang's knowledge, in the past six months, Mu E's position has been gradually stabilized. If there are no accidents, he will not need the support of the Central Plains in another three to five years.
Of course, the same is true for Chunjia.
Anyway, the monarchs of the two countries don't want to go to war now, and they both hope to delay for a while, so that their status and power will be more stable, and they will be more sure to kill each other. By then, the flames of war will definitely resume.
Even if Mu E doesn't want to fight, there is a high probability that Chun Jia wants to expand his territory and add color to his own history.
After all, he is still so young and ambitious, unless he dies in his prime, how can he not do something?
State affairs, the emperor is worried about Yun Fenghuang, but she is not really worried about what will happen to Wei He, she is mainly thinking about whether she can profit from it?
...Rou Kun and Chunjia spent quite a long time alone, so much so that Yun Fenghuang went to wash and bathe after dinner alone. When he got up, he asked someone to wring out his long hair, and leaned against the west window with a book for a while. After reading most of the scroll, she heard footsteps approaching. Chunjia walked in with a tired face but in a good mood: "It's so late, why haven't you slept yet?"
"It's so late, why didn't you accompany Mrs. Rou Kun to her place?" Yun Fenghuang put down the scroll with a half-smile, and said, "Just now, I thought His Majesty was going to call for water again."
This is of course a joke, after all, everyone knows that the imperial physician has said that Rou Kun has not recommended sleeping in bed for a year or so.
Chunjia Liao Pao sat not far from her, didn't care about this, and said with a smile: "Guess what she said to me just now?"
"What can you say?" Yun Fenghuang wanted to hear it very much, but when he heard the words, he deliberately said, "Of course His Majesty can say whatever he wants to hear."
Chun Jiarao said with interest: "Then tell me, what do I want to hear?"
"If I knew, it wasn't Concubine Wan and I who quit to make room for Mrs. Rou Kun." Yun Fenghuang laughed and said, "It was Mrs. Rou Kun who went far away to make room for me! "
The emperor laughed loudly, leaned over to hug her and kissed her, and said, "You are also jealous of such an ignorant person who was thrown out as a chess piece? When did your vision become so low? You don't care about Concubine Wan and the others." , let alone this Roukun?"
Yun Fenghuang let him hug him, pressed the round fan against his chest, and said lazily: "Poor boy, just now I don't know how to talk sweetly to Mrs. Rou Kun in my main room. As soon as I turned around, I just arranged it like this, and I don’t know what you said about me in front of other people? Don’t talk about being a hag?”
"How can there be such a beautiful and intelligent dominatrix?" Chunjia was obviously in a very good mood, and joked along the line, "She told me about Mu E's illness."
"How could this kind of news come to the imperial capital and let the concubine in the deep palace know?" Yun Fenghuang said with doubts when he heard the words, "Although she is Princess Weihe, you have already said it, this is an ignorant Being thrown out as a pawn, such important news is already well known by Wei He, so who would come here to tell her this?"
Chun Jia said: "Of course those people like Mu E wouldn't do this, but who is Mu E who loves the current Ke He Dun the most, that is, Rou Kun's biological mother? After this Ke He Dun found out that Mu E was ill... "
Speaking of this, he suddenly paused, looking at the clouds and winds meaningfully.
Yun Fenghuang was baffled at first, but suddenly realized: "Could it be that she wants to fight for the position of her own son, but she is afraid that she will not be able to do it, so she thinks of her daughter who is married far away, and wants to follow Mu E's example and seek the support of the Central Plains?"
"..." Chunjia looked at her expressionlessly, and said quietly, "You and this Ke He Dun are really heroes who see the same thing!"
When he pretended to be sick, wasn't Yun Fenghuang's first thought was how to make use of the matter of establishing a reserve to ensure his stability and wealth for the rest of his life?
"Can this be the same?" The imperial concubine denied without thinking, "I was thinking about you at the beginning, unlike this Ke Dun, it's not that she doesn't know her daughter's age and mind, and dare to get such important news. To put it this way, you are so stupid! Can this be compared to me?"
She stabbed Chunjia in turn, "Besides, he is Ke He Dun, the Khan's main palace! What am I a noble concubine?"
Chunjia smiled and said: "Cheng Chengcheng, the imperial concubine does everything for me... In fact, Rou Kun didn't say anything about it, and the Imperial City Secretary should come to report it in a few days. They seem to have noticed it two months earlier. There are some clues, but Mu E concealed it well, and he has not been sure what happened. Now that Rou Kun said it, it is right with all kinds of anomalies."
Otherwise, he would not believe Rou Kun's few words, so that he came to see the imperial concubine with great joy.
After all, Rou Kun has always given people the impression that she is not the kind of person who is capable of telling lies at this level. Chunjia has seen many concubines' operations, and she dare not underestimate any young and beautiful concubine or even a concubine.
Moreover, he himself got the chance to get ahead by pretending to be weak and loyal and filial for many years. Can he prevent someone from repaying him according to the gourd's tricks?
Besides, if it was Wei He who took the lead, maybe he used Rou Kun and Rou Kun didn't even feel it... In short, Chun Jia said: "There should be a 60% to 70% chance that this matter is true. Of course, what to do seriously, I always wait for the confirmation of the Imperial City Secretary before talking about it, people who are not of my race must have a different heart, and Rou Kun is an outsider after all."
When he said this, he was very calm, the kind of calm that he never regarded Rou Kun as his own, so he used it without any guilt.
Yun Fenghuang squinted at him and said, "So?"
Before the emperor could answer, she snorted and laughed, "So these days, Your Majesty, not only do you have to coax Mrs. Rou Kun yourself, but even the concubine has to be wronged along with her?"
After all, if Mu E is really dying, or if he is not sick to the point where he is just fishing, as long as Chunjia intends to take the opportunity to intervene in Wei He, Mrs. Rou Kun is an important pawn.
The favored status will definitely be temporarily promoted, and it will be greatly promoted.
"Didn't you say that you like me the most?" Chunjia asked back, "It's just a tacit act, don't you want to?"
Yun Fenghuang said: "You still said that you also like me the most, even if it's tacitly acting, are you willing?"
Both of them looked at each other sadly, and stared at each other for a moment, Chunjia sighed: "...Meng'er Kuo'er has grown up too, and has been raised by your side all the time. It's inconvenient not to have a name. How is the village owner?"
"It's just two children, and they have been raised by my concubine all the time, and it doesn't take much trouble. What's the inconvenience?" Yun Fenghuang smiled, "It's my concubine's ninth brother, who is talented and loyal. Your Majesty, why don't you correct him more?"
... After some haggling, Yun Fenghuang agreed that not only would he not bully Mrs. Roukun, but would coax her a little bit based on Chunjia's recent promotion of Xie Fu.
So on the next day, Chunjia got up before dawn as usual, cleaned up and walked up the mountain road with a lantern to pay her respects to the Empress Dowager.
Yun Fenghuang was not so filial, he used the excuse that the empress dowager disliked him being in front of him, and for the sake of the empress dowager's good, he didn't bother to bother him, so he got up after an extra joss stick of sleep.
Seeing that there was no idler in the room, Qingdu advised Yun Fenghuang not to be so preoccupied: "In fact, His Majesty has coaxed Mrs. Rou Kun himself, and it is for the sake of state affairs, why do you have to force His Majesty to promote the Ninth Young Master?" What? It’s fine to do this kind of thing once or twice, even if His Majesty doesn’t feel bored if you do it too often, let other people know about it, it’s the so-called destruction of bones..."
While talking, she looked at Yun Fenghuang's expression, fearing that the master would turn his face suddenly.
Fortunately, Yun Fenghuang didn't get angry this time, but said calmly: "Your Majesty just played around with me, do you really think that His Majesty will give way to me in the temple for such a trivial matter? You also Don't you want to think about what kind of grievances and risks were exchanged for such grace in the past?"
Seeing Qingdu worried but not knowing why, she sighed, "Since Your Majesty pays attention to Wei He, Mrs. Roukun is the key, so the Xie family who has lived in the north is useless?! This time, even if I don't mention it Ninth brother, His Majesty will take the initiative to use him. Bengong declined the canonization of Menger Kuoer, and mentioning Ninth brother actually saved him two titles of village lord. His majesty knows that he is so virtuous and considerate Ming just didn't say anything during the playfulness, but you helped the anxious distress?"
