Chapter 36 Reflection

Empress Dowager Yuan immediately looked at Yun Fenghuang, she was slightly surprised when she saw Yun Fenghuang, but she didn't believe it in her heart, she felt that Xiao Yun must be faking it!

It's just that under the watchful eyes of everyone, it's not good to ask questions immediately... She turned her mind and said: "I feel a little dizzy, I'm afraid if I stay here, it will disturb the interest of the Empress Dowager, why don't I go to the Jiuying Pavilion for a rest Come on."

"Then let's go." The Empress Dowager nodded lightly, "After all, you two have been lingering on the sick bed for a long time, and it seems that your complexion is not as healthy as Aijia's."

Before Queen Mother Yuan could speak, she immediately asked Queen Mother Qu if she was okay?

Empress Dowager Qu smiled slightly, and said: "Empress Dowager Lao is thinking about it, I think it's okay."

"Then Kunze takes good care of you. If you feel unwell, you can go to lie down for a while. There are ready-made pavilions on the left and right islands." The Empress Dowager said this immediately, obviously not to ask the Empress Dowager Yuan to let Princess Kunze The opportunity to accompany her to the Jiuying Pavilion.

But Empress Dowager Yuan didn't want to call Princess Kunze away at this moment, but said: "Then let the noble concubine accompany me to the Jiuying Hall."

Hearing this, everyone was a little surprised, wondering how this matter was involved in Yun Fenghuang's head?

The empress dowager soon felt overwhelmed, with a playful look on her face, she said, "Your concubine, would you like it?"

"The concubine obeys orders." Under the watchful eyes of everyone, the Queen Mother Yuan is not easy to trouble the noble concubine, and the noble concubine can't say that she doesn't want to go down with the empress dowager to rest for a while. After all, she is not the princess of Kunze and needs to take care of the Queen Mother Qu. She is not the main palace waiting for someone to come and need help to greet her.

So he had no choice but to stand up, and stepped forward to help Queen Mother Yuan to leave.

At this time, because they were looking in all directions, the expressions of the two of them were relatively gentle and natural. When they left the palace gate, they both turned cold.

Empress Dowager Yuan asked sternly, "Did you choose this?"

"I don't understand what the empress is talking about?"

"Your glory comes from the emperor's son, knowing that Ji's lowly servant girl is uneasy and kind to the emperor's son, but still instigated Qu's to seek help from Ji's remnants, so mad, how can you be worthy of the emperor's love for you? !" Empress Dowager Yuan took a few steps to the rockery not far away, and said with a sneer, "Stop pretending to be confused with Ai's family!"

Yun Fenghuang said softly: "What you said, I just saw the Empress Dowager speaking for the Empress Dowager, I also felt strange. The Empress Dowager always lives in seclusion, but when did she fall into the eyes of the Empress Dowager?" What about it? It’s really hard to figure out.”

"If you didn't push the Naqu family to get this point, how could they contact the Qingci Palace without anyone noticing?" The Empress Dowager Yuan didn't believe her words at all, and decided that Yun Fenghuang was the culprit, "Are you sure? Since the emperor favors you, he doesn't care about anything with you, does he?!"

Yun Fenghuang said calmly: "The Empress Dowager, you are a loving empress dowager, concubine and others respect you very much. But, the empress dowager is also an empress dowager, one of your majesty's empress mothers! Speaking of which, you Both of them are living in the palace, so who is more noble than the other? In this palace, the only elders who are serious are the Empress Dowager. You have always believed that you are the wife of the Fuyang King, bullying the Empress Dowager, The Empress Dowager is kind-hearted, and I can't stand it anymore. What's the problem with pulling the Empress Dowager? In this situation today, if you and the Empress Dowager hadn't had a public dispute on the pier, embarrassing the Princess, How did the empress dowager intervene?"

"In the end, it's your own fault."

"Furthermore, the Empress Dowager persuaded the poor relatives to fight in her own home, even if she was biased, it was beyond reproach."

"What qualifications do you have to doubt this and that?"

"Let's just say it as a concubine. You just lost face by the Empress Dowager, but you have nothing to do with the Empress Dowager, so I want to find a concubine to come out as a punching bag."

"But why do you have to be so hypocritical and insist on charging the concubine with a crime?"

"Anyway, who in the palace doesn't know how you treat your concubine?"

"..." Empress Dowager Yuan was stunned. She stopped suddenly, looked straight at Yun Fenghuang, and said in a trembling voice, "You...what did you say?!"

She knew that Xiaoyun was very courageous, dared to think, act and speak, but she never expected that this imperial concubine dared to say such a thing!

In front of her face!

Empress Dowager Yuan didn't know at this moment whether she should be angry at Yun Fenghuang's words, or at her contempt?

Yun Fenghuang met her unbelievable gaze, and smiled slightly: "My concubine said, you are the most respected mother empress dowager by His Majesty, what do you want to do with me? But why bother to search for one Reason?!"

"You lowly servant girl!!!" Queen Mother Yuan felt all the blood in her body rushed to her head, she raised her hand and drew it without hesitation...but was dodged by Yun Fenghuang, who had been prepared for a long time, and said calmly "The loving mother, the empress dowager, usually has to teach the concubine, and the concubine dare not not accept it. But today, the concubine was gathered in the harem, and the concubine walked out of the empress dowager just now. Ruoguo followed Going back with traces on his face, I'm afraid he won't be able to prevaricate, and it's not His Majesty who will be in trouble at that time?"

"The empress dowager, the loving mother, is the same as the concubine. She relies on His Majesty to live in wealth and honor in this palace, but why does she always make things difficult for His Majesty?"

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty the Empress Dowager!" Because the terrain of the small square pot is rugged, it takes less than two steps to climb up and down. The various steps and mountain paths are generally steep, and the dresses of the concubines are extravagant. The people below were afraid of stepping on the hem of their skirts and making their master fall or make a fool of themselves, so they deliberately kept a little distance.

At this moment, seeing that the two of them stood still and the situation was not right, they quickly followed up. When they got close, they found Yuan Tai's back was livid, while the noble concubine's expression was indifferent, and she couldn't help but feel a little at a loss, "What is this?"

Empress Dowager Yuan stared at Yun Fenghuang with lightning-like eyes, her fingers tucked into her sleeves trembled slightly, she could not wait to go up and tear this imperial concubine into pieces! ! !

But after taking a few deep breaths, she finally calmed down. She didn't answer the servants' words, but stretched out her arms with a sullen face: "There is still a long way to go to the Jiuying Pavilion. The place is rugged and steep, and I have to trouble the noble concubine."

"What did the Empress Dowager say?" Yun Fenghuang also quickly changed his face, and returned to his sweet smile, stepped forward to support her, and said softly, "The Empress Dowager does not despise this concubine, it is the concubine's blessing .”

She sighed secretly, very disappointed.

The disrespectful words just now, of course, she didn't slip out of the mouth in a fit of anger, but on purpose.

I just want Empress Dowager Yuan to do something irrational in a fit of anger... In this way, her next plan with Empress Dowager Qu will be smoother.

It's just that Queen Mother Yuan is not stupid.

Although Concubine Min has always made her unhappy, she used to dare to play tricks by calling people to the Spring Palace to kneel for punishment, but because of Chunjia's respect for her adoptive mother, she did not dare to be very disobedient in her attitude.

Today, he suddenly spoke in such an ugly way, almost stabbing the Empress Dowager's heart, who would believe that there was no other purpose?

So she suppressed her anger, forced herself to calm down, and brought Yun Fenghuang to Jiuying Pavilion as if nothing had happened.

This place is not very big, but the building is quite exquisite.

There are plum trees in all directions. If it is the right season, it must be very spectacular.

But now, there are no flowers on the trees, and the thick shade in midsummer is also destroyed by the autumn wind, so it doesn't look like a gloomy scene.

Empress Dowager Yuan looked at this scene, her lips moved a few times and then stopped, as if she originally planned to say a few words to ridicule Yun Fenghuang, but she was not sure that Concubine Min would be the one who got angry in the end, so she decided not to make trouble.

When the two of them entered and sat down, the servants who came with them went to the back to search for tea sets, spring water, etc., and began to tidy up and serve them.

After sitting silently for a while, Queen Mother Yuan said, "Go back to the main hall."

"The empress dowager came here to rest because the phoenix body violated the agreement. How can I leave you and go back to the banquet alone?" Yun Fenghuang sat still, and said softly, "I will accompany you for a while, let's go back together .”

Empress Dowager Yuan closed her eyes and ignored her.

After a while, there was some movement outside, and the palace servants came in to report, saying that Chunjia had gone to the main hall to greet her, and knowing that the Empress Dowager Yuan was not feeling well, she specially came to visit before the banquet started.

"Emperor, come in with Ai's family!" Not long after, Chunjia, who was tidy and tidy, came in, saw Yun Fenghuang underneath, and didn't pay much attention, so she hurriedly asked what happened to Queen Mother Yuan.

The queen mother didn't say much, she stood up directly, walked towards the inner room, and ordered, "Your concubine, stay outside for Ai's family!"

Yun Fenghuang, who had just stood up from the chair, was not guilty, and responded generously, then sat back and drank tea calmly.

After all, the Jiuying Pavilion is a royal pavilion, so the sound insulation is very good.

After the Empress Dowager brought Chunjia in, she couldn't hear any movement. After a while, the door was opened again. Chunjia helped the Empress Dowager Yuan with red eyes to come out. Blame him, but glanced at the palace people around, didn't say anything about the imperial concubine, just discussed with the queen mother softly: "The banquet over there is about to start, my son will accompany you first?"

Empress Dowager Yuan said indifferently: "Will Emperor Shan accompany Ai's family there?"

"..." Chunjia hesitated for a moment, then said, "Naturally."

Only then did he look at Yun Fenghuang, and asked her to stay in the Jiuying Pavilion to reflect in a flat tone, "I am too busy to talk to you now, and I will discuss the crime with you after the banquet is over!"

The servants at Yun Fenghuang's side were shocked when they heard the words, but the noble concubine herself looked calm, stepped forward to bless her, and said: "I obey."

So the emperor helped the Empress Dowager Yuan to leave, and when he crossed the threshold, he quickly turned his head and saw that the imperial concubine had already sat back in the chair, looking at the floor tiles not far away expressionlessly, with a complicated expression on her face.

When the Tian family's mother and son had gone away, the Qing people hurriedly asked: "Your Majesty, what's going on?"

"Is there any reason for a mother to want her son to take care of the concubine in the house?" Yun Fenghuang said lightly, "Go out and let me be quiet for a while."

Hearing this, the left and right looked at each other, not daring to say anything: "Yes."

...The palace people retreated one by one, and even covered the door, only Yun Fenghuang was left in the room, Zhi Yi meditated.

She is actually not flustered now, because although what the Empress Dowager Yuan said just now was too much, if Chunjia heard it, she would definitely not let it go easily, but... Didn't Chunjia not hear it herself?

Even the servants who served the two didn't hear much.

That is, she never said at all that it was all the empress dowager who made things difficult for her.

Anyway, just wait a while to coax the emperor.

She didn't do this kind of thing once or twice, she was already somewhat handy.

What she was thinking about at the moment was the matter between Kunze and Yun's son. If it was not wrong, the Queen Mother Yuan's previous plan was to take advantage of this banquet to make a fuss.

But now that Empress Dowager Qu and Empress Dowager are joining forces, it is hard to say whether Empress Dowager Yuan will change her plan because of this.

Yun Fenghuang definitely wanted to stop this matter, not only did she want to stop this matter, she also had other plans.

Being punished to reflect here at this moment is just a good time to sort out his thoughts.

... But he didn't stay alone for too long. Counting the three rounds of drinking in the main hall, some palace servants from outside cautiously reported that Concubine De had come and brought some drinks.

"Sister, what's the matter?" Concubine De still had a smile on her face when she climbed up the rockery where the Jiuying Pavilion is located. The box was placed on the table, and he asked hastily, "Your Majesty accompanied the empress dowager to the banquet just now, and said that you accidentally sprained your foot on the way here, so you can only stay in the Jiuying Pavilion to clean up... this?"

Yun Fenghuang didn't hide it either: "On the way here, the loving mother Empress Dowager suspected that Ben Gong urged Qu Empress Dowager to join hands with the Empress Dowager to disgrace her, and said a few words to Ben Gong, and my defense probably called the loving mother Empress Dowager displeased. Just now Your Majesty came to visit, and the loving mother Empress Dowager dragged him into the back room to talk for a while, after she came out, your Majesty asked me to stay and reflect, and there is no need to go to the banquet."

After hearing the words, Concubine De quickly scolded the loving Empress Dowager in a low voice: "Let's not say that there is no evidence to say so, even if it is true, isn't the Empress Dowager His Majesty's Empress? The Empress Dowager has a life, Can my sister still resist? The loving mother Empress Dowager is really unhappy, why not go find the Holy Mother Empress Dowager, but teach my sister to be wronged!"

"Don't talk about that." Yun Fenghuang sighed softly, "But it's okay for me to stay here for a while, why are you here? I'm afraid it won't please my loving mother, the Empress Dowager, to see her."

"There are so many people here today, and there are quite a few younger sisters in the crowd." Concubine De actually felt a little regretful in her heart. Her appearance was damaged, and she didn't show up because she was afraid that she would lose face in front of everyone's eyes. At this time, I thought, as the sister who has the best relationship with the imperial concubine in the harem, how can I ignore it and eat at the banquet on my own? What about drinking?

So, taking advantage of the warmer banquet, he hastily asked the palace servants to pack up some food, and brought it over to show his heart.

In order to prevent other people from sharing this friendship, she even specially ordered someone to tie up Yishi, Qushi, Jiashi and other concubines who also had the same heart for Yunfenghuang.

Now that I know the truth, I realize that if I fail, I will become the thorn in the eyes of the loving mother Empress Dowager after the imperial concubine!

The problem is that the noble concubine is very fond of her and the city is deep. The loving mother, the empress dowager, can't help but dislike her for a long time. She doesn't have the ability...

But it's all here, and he hesitated for a while, fearing that he would offend the Queen Mother Yuan and not settle well with the imperial concubine.

Concubine De knew this truth, so she immediately said, "Besides, no matter how lively the banquet is, without my sister present, in my sister's opinion, it is meaningless."

After saying this, seeing Yun Fenghuang showing a slight smile, I felt more relieved, and felt that there was no need to scare myself. Although the Queen Mother Yuan is not easy to provoke, she is loved by the noble concubine. This elder sister Min doesn't protect herself?

Zheng secretly felt that he was really witty and agile, who knew that the words just fell away, and another palace official came to report, saying that several concubines including Yishi had come to see Yunfenghuang...
