Chapter 29: Today Is Not Yesterday

The next day Chunjia was lucky to be concubine Xie.

Speaking of which, Yun Qingman has not had a strong sense of existence since entering the palace. At first, she had a sister Concubine Zhenxi Shu in front of her, and she came in as a candidate for her sister's surrogate-conceived child. It is the existence that has attracted the attention of the Sixth Palace and even the front and rear palaces from the first day of entering the palace.

As one of the three Yun sisters in the harem, Yun Qingman was overshadowed by these two sisters.

Not to mention Chunjia, even the other people in Rijin Palace didn't think much of her.

To say that Liugong paid the most attention to her for a while, not because she was pregnant and gave birth to a child, but when Concubine Zhenxishu was gone, and there was a lot of turmoil surrounding the issue of the real murderer. One, Yun Qingman received attention from all directions for a while.

Even if the fourth prince was born later, because he was neither the first son nor the eldest son, everyone would break up after understanding.

In this way, since becoming pregnant with the fourth prince, Chunjia has basically never had any luck with her...

At this moment when Sheng Jia came, Yun Qing was dazed for a long time before coming out in a panic.

Because the emperor tacitly didn't remember their mother and child at all, she hadn't dressed up properly for a long time, and now she was facing the sky, which was particularly bleak compared to the splendor of the concubines in the palace.

Chunjia looked at her with rare pity, and asked her warmly, to confirm that she had not been treated badly, and hinted that she should be separated.

Left and right were very happy after resigning and leaving, thinking that their master had come to the end of all hardships: "I said before that Your Majesty has long forgotten about your empress and the Fourth Prince. Looking at it now, I am afraid that there is a reason why Your Majesty has not been able to come for so many days."

He even muttered whimsically: "The first prince and the fifth prince already have princes, the second prince and the third prince are in special circumstances after all, will His Majesty also crown our princes as kings when he comes here?"

"Whether you have it or not, in short, our empress is probably in her early years!" An older court lady pointed to the direction of Lanzhou Yeyu Pavilion, "The past two years, my empress has lived in the palace fairly safely, and it may be because of that. One's face, but that one doesn't have much kindness towards the empress, and the empress can get a little love from her majesty, and she won't be treated as she wants by that one."

However, the conversation in the room was like this: Chunjia thought that the polite words were almost done. Looking at the shy Concubine Xie in front of him, he felt no wavering in his heart, and even felt that he should get to the point: "I heard that the concubine loves before entering the palace. Being kind to the imperial concubine, loving the same sisters, but I don't know how to make the imperial concubine happy when her heart is depressed?"

Although Concubine Xie is not as optimistic as the people below, she thinks that the emperor has been silently caring and loving her mother and son, and now she is planning to tell the world who is her true love, but she also thinks that the emperor will come suddenly, or she will feel neglected For a long time, he wanted to make up, or he planned to reuse his father's house, so he sent a signal.

She never expected that Chunjia would mention the imperial concubine to her, or would she ask how to coax the imperial concubine who is in a bad mood? ? ?

She was stunned for a long time before forcing a smile and said: "Your Majesty, this concubine... At that time, I also felt that I and the imperial concubine were sisters, but after entering the palace, I gradually felt that I didn't understand the imperial concubine or empress. "

"But I heard that the noble concubine has always taken good care of you." Chunjia didn't like to hear these words. He thought about the relationship between the two concubines and the noble concubine in the palace. Did Concubine De meet the noble concubine after entering the palace? , and it took a year and a half after entering the palace to gradually get together with the imperial concubine, so I may not know the imperial concubine very well.

Concubine Xie, on the contrary, this is the best handkerchief for the concubine after she arrived in the Imperial Capital.

At that time, the noble concubine was younger, so she must be more coquettish and innocent than now, so Concubine Xie's control over the concubine's temper should be higher than that of Concubine De.

Now pushing three and four, isn't this just a deliberate reluctance to talk about it?

Chunjia talked about her, "I haven't been here for many years, but you said that everything is fine with you, and there is nothing missing. It can be seen that you are under the protection of the noble concubine. The noble concubine treats you as a sister, but you say you are not Knowing her, is this how you treat sisters?"

Concubine Xie: "........."

She didn't know how to tell the emperor for a while. She lived in the palace for the past two years. She has everything she should have. Don't think about the extras. After all, she claims to be a sister with the imperial concubine Before everyone is sure about the imperial concubine's attitude, they don't want to leave any troubles, so no one bullies their mother and son.

But because the imperial concubine didn't call her to her very much, and the emperor seemed to have forgotten the concubine, it was far from being a decent one.

As far as this kindness is concerned, do you want to say that Concubine Xie is grateful to Concubine Gui?

can not say it clearly.

One is that her status was opposite to that of the noble concubine before she entered the palace. At that time, Yun Fenghuang first arrived in the imperial capital, and she was able to gain a foothold in the circle of noble women, all thanks to the support of Yun Qingman, the fourth lady of the Duke's Mansion.

She still remembers the first time when her aunt Xie asked her to take Yunfenghuang to the banquet where the noble girls gathered, she casually agreed, but she was really not interested in the poor relatives who came from afar and turned around. He didn't look at Yun Fenghuang at all, and just talked to his maid.

It was talking about the hairpin and ring jewelry that is popular in the imperial capital nowadays.

Yun Fenghuang just came here, didn't know anything, and couldn't get in the conversation, so he just kept smiling and sat quietly by the side and listened.

At that time, she thought that this girl was quite sensible.

Because if Yun Fenghuang insisted on coming up to talk to her, she would not take this person out next time, it would be annoying.

Later, when we arrived at the banquet place, everyone saw that Yun Fenghuang was doing well, and at first they were quite interested, thinking that it was a lady from one of the Yun's families, who came back to the Imperial Capital because his father and brother returned to Beijing to resume their duties.

After learning that the family was just a country gentleman in a remote corner who was not even considered an official family, they dispersed in a crowd, and no one was willing to talk to her.

At that time, Yun Qingman thought that there should be no next time.

Because I heard that the sisters under Mrs. Xie accidentally mentioned that this Yun Fenghuang was raised by her family since she was a child, and she was very much loved in her hometown. When the baby is brought up, please take care of them more.

How could such a person stand such neglect and rejection?

In the end, there was another gathering of noble girls, and Mrs. Xie came to entrust her again.

Then for the third and fourth times, Yun Fenghuang was very good at winking, being quiet when it was time to be quiet, answering when it was time to answer, flattering when it was time to flatter, and patience when it was time to be patient. It is the person who has been the apple of the eye.

Yun Qingman watched lazily, neither helping nor tripping her up.

What made her change her attitude towards Yun Fenghuang was that at a banquet, her cousin, a daughter from the aunt's natal family, had always been at odds with her because of her aunt's favor, and colluded with a few other people to set up a trick to make Yun Fenghuang Qing Man was greatly ashamed.

That time Yun Qingman was really furious to the extreme but there was nothing he could do... At this time Yun Fenghuang stood up and calmly helped her resolve it.

The price was that the young lady of the Han family splashed her with wine, and left the scene in a state of embarrassment...

And Yun Fenghuang didn't tell anyone about it afterwards, as if nothing happened.

When she saw that Miss Han family again, she still greeted her as if nothing had happened... Yun Qingman felt that she was very pitiful at the time, but she was not forced to. Who would let go of her figure and face like this?

He started to introduce her to his favorite noble daughter, and gradually Yun Fenghuang integrated into her circle, and soon she was all-round and exquisite, even more popular than her.

But Yun Qingman is not jealous of her, because Yun Fenghuang has a good posture and often helps her make suggestions... Besides, Yun Qingman also knows that there is no self-proclaimed "Fenghuang and I are very close, it is simply My dear sister", no matter how powerful Yun Fenghuang is, those noble daughters of the public servants will not be interested in Yun Fenghuang.

After all, the difference in origin is there.

The Xie family far away in the north may have more financial resources than the Yunju couple, but in fact, in the imperial capital, the biological daughter of the Yunju couple has a much higher status than the daughter of the Xie family.

The former is the niece of Duke Yi's mansion, while the latter is just the daughter of a remote country gentleman.

So Yun Qingman never thought that one day, Yun Fenghuang would stand in a position that he needed to look up to.

She often suspects that Yun Fenghuang is so aggressive towards her sister-in-law, but takes care of herself indifferently. In fact, it is because of those three years that Yun Fenghuang had to rely on Yun Qingman's close attitude to gain a foothold in the circle. s return".

At the beginning, she relied on Yun Qingman to go around and get the qualification to marry the children of middle and low officials; now she also needs Yun Qingman to rely on her to live in the palace.

The second is, Yun Qingman is still not very clear about what Yun Fenghuang thinks about herself and her family?

She told the emperor that she found out that she didn't know Yun Fenghuang was the truth.

For example, regarding Miss Han's case, Yun Qingman thought that Yun Fenghuang was purely pitiful, and she had suffered such a great humiliation at the hands of Miss Han's, so when they met again, she was afraid that the other party would be picky about etiquette, so she had to take the initiative to say hello .

Since entering the palace, she has seen many people and things, and she vaguely understands how terrifying it is to be able to greet Miss Han family as if nothing had happened at Yun Fenghuang's age and after that kind of experience.

This made her often think of Yun Fenghuang's respect for the former empress, concubine Zhenxi Shu, the commoner Zheng Shi and others, and then turned his face.

Yun Qingman thought that Yun Fenghuang must have forgotten that Miss Han, the younger sister of Xiao Han, the son-in-law of Duke Yi.

Otherwise, it's impossible for that Miss Han family to be doing well now.

"Your Majesty, it's like this. Before the imperial concubine entered the palace, my aunt often entrusted her to take her to make friends with all the noble girls." Yun Qingman calmed down and said in a low voice, "The imperial concubine is exquisite and talkative, everyone At first I was not familiar with her, but later I got to know her, and I liked her very much. At that time, when I saw the imperial concubine every day, she always had a smile on her lips, and she was never unhappy. So I don't know, if the imperial concubine does not If you are happy, how should you make the imperial concubine happy?"

This is the truth, at that time Yun Fenghuang wanted something from her, even if he was unhappy, how dare he show face in front of her?

Chunjia also understood this meaning, and after a while of silence, asked slowly: "Aifei is a concubine, but she has been raised at the knee of the aunt?"

Yun Qingman was taken aback, wondering why the emperor asked this question?

She thought for a while before saying cautiously: "Yes."

"I don't know how the aunt treats my concubine?" Chun Jia said gently, "I don't think the concubine's temperament is similar to Concubine Zhenxishu's?"

"..." Yun Qingman pursed her lips, thinking about how to answer.

It's impossible to say that Mrs. Han treated her badly.

Because of her beautiful appearance, she was cultivated as a candidate for marriage or sent to the palace. Even if Han didn't have the patience and love for her own daughter, she would not let her separate from the Duke's mansion.

But let's talk about it, anyway, there must be a gap with Concubine Zhenxishu.

And after the relationship with Yun Fenghuang was better, Yun Qingman was reminded intentionally or unintentionally, Yun Qingman gradually felt that her aunt seemed to want her to be outstanding, but not the kind of excellence of Concubine Zhenxishu...

After entering the palace, this feeling is even more profound...

She lowered her head and said in a low voice, "The same rice feeds all kinds of people. I am a little timid. Even though my aunt encourages me very much, I am still not as generous as my sister. Your Majesty will laugh at me."

Concubine Xie sighed secretly when she said this, because she remembered that Yun Fenghuang had taught her that no matter what she thought in her heart, she should never speak ill of her elders in front of others.

Because doing so is first of all unfilial.

If my aunt treats her badly, I can only let others say it. What she says must be "good" from my aunt. Let others conclude the bad conclusions. It not only shows that she is pure, filial and kind, but also makes others believe that she has been treated badly. .

At that time, Yun Qingman suspected that the so-called Yun Fenghuang was favored when he was at home, maybe it was all fake, right?

The truly carefree apple of the eye, how could she understand this?

But the food and clothing and all kinds of generous gifts sent by Beidi during the New Year's Day don't seem to be indifferent to this daughter... She also doesn't know what is going on with Yun Fenghuang's status in the Xie family.

"Really?" Chunjia lay down the bait calmly, "I was thinking that both the boss and the fifth child are canonized, and the fourth child should be somewhat respectable. It's just that the last time I was appointed king in advance, I was persuaded by the people below for a while." Fan, I'm afraid it's inappropriate to give the fourth title to the old king directly. I just want to give grace to his natal family... Yi Guogong and Yi Guogong's wife have no more titles, but the concubine's biological mother has no orders? It's just that someone told me..."

When he said this, he paused slightly, paying attention to Concubine Xie's expression.

Concubine Xie unconsciously sat upright and listened intently.

The emperor continued, "I'm afraid that Mrs. Yi Guogong will not like it. I have no intention of disturbing the backyard of important ministers because of an imperial concubine. According to what my concubine said, Mrs. Yi Guogong is very virtuous? Then I can rest assured, another day Let the queen make an order."

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Concubine Xie never expected such a good thing, she immediately got up from her seat excitedly, and fell to the ground, "On behalf of my aunt, I thank Your Majesty for your kindness!!!"

Chunjia bent down from the seat, helped her up with one hand, and smiled slightly: "It's not a big deal, it's what the fourth child should have... But, there is another trouble: according to the rules, children and grandchildren are called elders." , the aunt is even before the concubine. I want to confer with my concubine's birth mother, but how should I reward Mrs. Yi Guogong?"

Concubine Xie was taken aback, and was at a loss for a while, not knowing how to answer?
