Chapter Thirty-Seven

Although the Jiuying Pavilion is not too narrow, suddenly there are several main seats, together with their waiters, it suddenly becomes crowded.

When Yun Fenghuang saw it, he couldn't help laughing, and said, "Why are you all here? Doesn't the banquet want to be deserted?"

"I heard that the empress is injured, and my body and mind are burning with anxiety. How can I care about other things?" Yi Xingen said first after hearing the words, "I don't know if the empress has ever called the imperial physician? How is the situation now?"

Qu Hongzhuan was a step too late, pressed down the annoyance, followed by booing and inquiring, all the concubines said the same thing inside and out, that is, the banquet is not important, the health of the imperial concubine's body is what matters.

These are the concubines who are close to Yun Fenghuang, even Empress Gu couldn't get away, so she specially sent her servants to come to condolences, saying that if the concubine is really uncomfortable, it is better to arrange a boat to take her back to Xuanqing Palace to rest.

"It's just a little ailment, it doesn't matter." Of course Yun Fenghuang would not tell the truth to the queen's valet, anyway, she was sitting on a chair with her skirt hanging down, and if she didn't say it herself, outsiders wouldn't be able to tell whether it was good or bad. Said, "It's much better after resting for a while."

After sending off the people sent by Gu Zhen, he looked around at his cronies and followers, and asked about the process of today's banquet.

This time Qu Hongzhuan was the first to speak, saying that today's banquet was nothing new, it was almost the same as before, now because of the three rounds of wine, the Empress Dowager was getting old, and she was a little tired after a few drinks, so she quickly Accompanied by Chunjia, he went to rest later.

As soon as the grandfather and grandson left, the two empress dowagers quickly found a reason to leave.

It's easy to get up in this way... The people sitting in the main hall are either concubines or important ministers. Today, they are all accompanying guests.

Qu Hongzhuan expressed implicitly that on the way they came, they met several groups of people who avoided them and came up to pay their respects. It was nothing more than a young lady from a certain family, or a young man from a certain family. The reasons were all the same. Come out and take a break.

It's actually looking for each other.

When this topic was mentioned, the atmosphere in the Jiuying Pavilion became much more relaxed, and everyone was a little joking.

Yun Fenghuang also laughed, and asked jokingly: "You can see what is outstanding? I will also give you the palm of your sisters and brothers in your family."

Yi Xingen and Qu Hongzhuan came from humble backgrounds, brothers and sisters in the family are not qualified to marry someone who can come to the banquet today, they just laughed and said nothing.

Concubine De said: "Just now I saw what the empress meant, but she was planning to find out for His Royal Highness Princess Minghui. In this case, we'd better avoid it."

"It's not just His Royal Highness the eldest princess." Jia Pingye, who hadn't found a chance to speak, hastily said, "Didn't the empress dowager also say it just now? It's time for Princess Kunze to discuss marriage. I want to show the Princess a look, but I don't know whose family's children have this blessing."

A group of people then discussed the marriage of the two golden branches and jade leaves, and seeing that the time was about the same, Yun Fenghuang asked them to go back to the banquet: "Even if everyone is accompanying guests today, it doesn't mean that they will stay at the banquet all the time." Come on, let the Empress alone support the scene, you go ahead. I will sit here for a while."

Hearing that the concubines other than Concubine De also wondered, is there any inside story why the concubine did not appear at the banquet just now?

Otherwise, after chatting for a long time, I didn't see the imperial doctor, I didn't smell the ointment, and the imperial concubine didn't look uncomfortable... Why did I continue to stay in the Jiuying Pavilion instead of going back to the table with them?

But the imperial concubine didn't say anything, and they didn't dare to ask more questions, so they could only say: "I obey."

It didn't take long for them to leave one after another, another person came from the main hall, it was Chunjia's servant in front of him, and carefully asked Yun Fenghuang to speak in the Nuan Pavilion behind the main hall.

"Didn't I have a sprained foot? The small square pot is so rugged and steep, how can I get there?" Yun Fenghuang was noncommittal when he heard the words, and only said slowly, "When the time comes, the emperor's disrespect will be a joke, so let's wait for the banquet. After we're gone, go to Taichu Palace to plead guilty."

The servant accompanied Chunjia to the Jiuying Pavilion just now, and he quickly apologized and said with a smile: "Your Majesty is still angry with Your Majesty? In fact, Your Majesty asked Your Majesty to stay here just as an expedient measure to coax the Empress Dowager. No, the Empress Dowager is going to rest now, His Majesty is worried that you will be exhausted here, so he called the servants to invite you over."

Unmoved by Yun Fenghuang's words, he took another two steps forward and said in a low voice, "Your Majesty ordered someone to set up a table alone in the Nuan Pavilion, just waiting for your empress."

"What is the virtue of this palace, so that Your Majesty is so partial?" Yun Fenghuang said so, but his body was still sitting motionless, and he said, "Furthermore, the loving mother Empress Dowager is only temporarily leaving the table to rest, and she will be sure after a while." I still have to go to the banquet, if I know about it, I am afraid that I will be even more unwilling to give up. At that time, it will not be His Majesty who will have a headache? Forget it, after the banquet is over, I will ask the empress dowager for forgiveness."

Just let him go back and report to Chunjia.

The servant tried to persuade her again and again, but seeing her firm attitude, she didn't dare to force her, so she had to leave in embarrassment.

After he left, the left and right couldn't help worrying that Yun Fenghuang's move would offend the emperor.

Everyone pushed and shoved for a while, and let Jiang Lai step forward, gently reminding the imperial concubine that although the emperor always prefers the Xuanqing Palace, the loving mother, the Empress Dowager, is different.

"These bengongs know it well, so you don't need to talk too much." But Yun Fenghuang was unmoved, and instead told them to shut up and not make any noise.

The palace people were hesitating, not wanting the previous servants to go and return, and several people followed behind them. The Qing people took a closer look, and hurriedly bowed down to the ground to welcome the holy driver.

"Why did Your Majesty come here in person?" Yun Fenghuang was inside, and they didn't notice it for a while. When they noticed the movement and looked sideways, they slowly got up from the chair and said, "Could it be that there's something in the main hall?" Is there no one else? You even pulled away."

Chunjia first waved his hands to tell everyone to retreat from the rockery, then sighed: "I knew that if only one servant came to invite you, he must not be able to invite you over."

"Your Majesty said it as if the concubine's body is too big."

"What's going on today?" Chunjia pinched her brows and asked wearily, "You've always been well-mannered. On a day like this, why bother to provoke the queen mother?"

Yun Fenghuang's face sank slightly, and he said with a sneer, "Since His Majesty has determined that everything is the fault of the concubine, why bother to ask the concubine again? Isn't it enough to punish the concubine directly?"

Seeing her like this, Chunjia had no choice but to soften her tone, and coaxed her for a while, seeing that the imperial concubine's expression eased a little, she asked about the process again.

"Your Majesty has been at the main hall for a long time. Do you still want to ask me about my body?" Yun Fenghuang said disapprovingly. When the empress dowager came to the island, she heard that the two empress dowagers had a dispute over who should accompany Princess Kunze to rest first. No, the Empress Dowager seized the opportunity to say a few words to the Empress Dowager, the Empress Dowager, she said that the phoenix body violated harmony, and she asked the concubine to accompany her to rest here? When she didn’t want to go out, the Empress Dowager blamed the concubine, saying It must be the concubine who is instigating the Holy Mother and the Empress Dowager to join forces to deal with her... This is too ridiculous!"

She slightly raised her chin, "My concubine's name is the empress dowager, but I don't like it, but I can't do anything about it. I have always relied on His Majesty's favor, but when did I rely on the empress dowager and the empress dowager?!"

Chunjia only felt a dull pain in the forehead. As the saying goes, housework is difficult for an upright official, and he was caught between Empress Dowager Yuan and Yun Fenghuang.

"The queen mother was in a hurry, and she didn't do it on purpose." The emperor hesitated for a while, and quickly analyzed that the process was similar to what the Queen Mother Yuan said, but in the Queen Mother Yuan's mouth, it was indeed Yun Fenghuang who colluded with the Queen Mother Qu , join forces with the Empress Dowager, and fight against her together.

As for whether the imperial concubine is really playing tricks behind her back...

The Son of Heaven believes that Yun Fenghuang can do such a thing, but it may not necessarily be mixed.

Now there is no evidence, if Yun Fenghuang is directly blamed, if she is wronged, this concubine has never suffered a loss, so what may happen.

So...he simply coaxed first, "Look at my face, don't bother with her."

Yun Fenghuang sneered and said, "When will my concubine dare to argue with the empress dowager? It's not that you asked me to stay here and reflect on it, and I didn't refuse to discuss my crimes later!"

Chunjia sighed: "That's all for the queen mother to see. If I really wanted to punish you, would I come here in person at this moment?"

"Who knows if you feel sorry for the empress dowager, and come here to punish the concubine before the banquet is over?" Yun Fenghuang snorted and turned his face away, with tears in his eyes.

"Am I such an impatient person?" Chunjia then stretched out his hand to pull her, "Forget it, on such an occasion today, it is unjustifiable for you to never show your face, so follow me to the main hall later, and wait After the banquet, I will apologize to my mother, that's all."

Yun Fenghuang didn't speak, but shed tears silently.

The emperor was very embarrassed and said in a low voice: "This...how about you go back to the palace first and stay for two days and don't go out. My mother and the queen said that you will be fined? Anyway, you don't go out very often."

Yun Fenghuang still didn't speak, and continued to wipe away tears.

"..." Chunjia frowned and racked her brains, but before she could come up with something to coax her, someone staggered up the rockery to report: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, something happened on the island!!!"

Hearing that the concubine was stunned, she subconsciously looked at each other with one meaning in her eyes: Did you do it?

After a while, Chunjia asked in a deep voice: "What happened? Did you report it to the main hall?"

The palace man stepped forward on his knees, and replied tremblingly: "Because under the watchful eyes of everyone, I have already reported to the empress dowager, empress empress, and all your lords in the main hall."

As for what it was...he hesitated for a while, and then said with difficulty, "Xiangrui...Xiangrui is not good just now!"

"How can the good auspiciousness be bad?" Yun Fenghuang stopped sobbing since he came in, and interjected at this moment to ask, "What's wrong?"

The man in the palace said with tears in his voice: "Cai Xiangrui was gnawing grass and trees under a small cliff near the main hall, and the ladies and gentlemen, as well as Princess Kunze, were talking and picking fresh flowers while talking in the gazebo on the cliff. Ye threw it down and fed it... Then suddenly a young lady noticed that Xiangrui was twitching underneath, and a lot of white foam came out of his mouth."

The young lady screamed out, alarming the others, so she hurriedly ran to tell the steward at the main hall.

If it's just an ordinary deer that has gone wrong, that's fine, at most it disturbs the fun.

But this is the auspiciousness of going to great lengths to contribute!

Who dares to neglect?

So the steward led people in to report to the empress dowager and other nobles, and at the same time sent people to try to treat them.

However, the palace man who came to report the letter said euphemistically that when he came, Xiangrui had already breathed in less and exhaled more, and visually it was impossible to save him.

After all, today's small square pot held a banquet, and the empress and others who were in charge of organizing it were so thoughtful, and all the imperial medical materials were prepared, it was really unexpected, and a few veterinarians were brought along!

When the veterinarian receives the news and rushes over from the Imperial Beast Garden, Xiangrui will probably be cold by then.

"There are many plants and trees on the small square pot, maybe Xiangrui just ate something that shouldn't be eaten." Chunjia frowned for a moment, then said slowly, "Forget it, let's go and have a look."

In his heart, he didn't care about the auspicious white deer at all, but since such things can become auspicious, it is obvious that there are always some people in the world who like this.

Now that something went wrong, no matter what the reason for it, there must be an explanation.

You can't take it lightly, otherwise you don't know what words are going to come out.

So she turned around, looked at Yun Fenghuang whose eyes were still red, and said softly: "You stay here and I will come when I go."

"...The concubine will go there later?" Yun Fenghuang touched the tear stains on his face. This state will definitely arouse people's suspicion, but I also know that the good auspiciousness is gone, and it is impossible to follow As Chun Jia said, he accidentally ate the flowers and trees on the island that are not suitable for Bailu. After all, it was decided early in the morning to let Xiangrui walk around the island at will. A similar situation occurs?

There is probably a reason here.

…Speaking of which, there have been a total of two auspicious occasions in Guochao so far, and none of the person in charge has a good end.

Looking at it this way, let alone whether these auspicious signs will bring good things to the country, for them themselves, being an auspicious sign is really not very good...

She didn't want to miss this excitement, so she hesitated a little, and said, "I'm out of shape, I need to tidy up."

Chunjia knew that the imperial concubine was a human being, so she agreed and left with her.

After he left, Qing people and others gathered around to tidy up Yun Fenghuang, twisted the handkerchief to cover her face, they couldn't help whispering during this time, wondering who was so bold, even Xiangrui dared to kill him?

"Perhaps as your majesty said, what did you eat by mistake?" Chi'e quickly underestimated, but was immediately refuted by Dan'e: "That's auspicious! With God's blessing, how could it be so unlucky? Just think about it There is no need to think about such things as the white tiger auspiciousness before, there must be some bad people who are obstructing it, and the auspiciousness is different, it is a warning!"

It's fine if she doesn't mention the white tiger, but when she mentions the white tiger, everyone doesn't say anything, they all think in their hearts, and don't know how to change the front and back palace after today's osmanthus reward banquet?
