Chapter 50 Cutting the Mess with a Quick Knife

Hearing the words, Yun Fenghuang gave him a slap in the heart, thinking that the emperor is really bad: You said earlier that you wanted to marry Kunze to my cousin, but I would still think so much and show you embarrassment?

After suffering for a long time now, come to pick up the shelf again, is it interesting?

...Well, looking at Chunjia's expression, I obviously find it quite interesting.

"Your Majesty will be responsible as you say!" Yun Fenghuang kicked the ball back, but Chunjia was dissatisfied, saying that she had no sincerity at all. It can be seen that Xie Shizi or Jiang Shizi were probably just trying to fool people, and he decided not to My sister is married!

This kind of person is unreliable, don't bully his young and naive Kunze!

There is no way, for the brothers to be able to achieve success, but also for his own future considerations, Yun Fenghuang can only rack his brains to coax him.

It's just that Chunjia was deliberately looking for trouble, and all the compensations she proposed were rejected after a meal of criticism, so...she took advantage of the emperor's airs to sit there drinking tea, waiting for herself to come up with another one for him to criticize Speaking, he pinched himself hard, his face turned pale from the pain, and his voice was instantly weak: "Your Majesty..."

Chunjia also said that she was pretending to be pitiful, without raising her head, and said lightly, "What's the matter?"

However, after a while, I didn't hear the imperial concubine continue to speak. Just as I was a little surprised, I heard a "boom" beside me, and it was the imperial concubine who fell headfirst on the couch!

The emperor was startled, and quickly stepped forward to help him: "What's the matter?"

Yun Fenghuang originally wanted to pretend to faint for a while, so that he could feel the seriousness, but found that Chunjia touched her wrist while asking, thinking that this person is called Yunwen Yunwu, and he seems to know a little bit about medical skills, for fear of revealing his flaws , hastily opened his eyes "weakly", and said weakly: "I don't know why, I suddenly felt a little dizzy just now."

Chunjia's expression became serious, and she asked her to lie still and went out to call the waiter, ordered him to call the imperial physician, and went back to the room, held her hand and comforted her: "Perhaps I went to the mother's harem every day for the past two days. I'm sick and tired, I'll be fine after a short rest...the imperial doctor will come and take a look."

"I think so too." Yun Fenghuang closed his eyes, pretending to be struggling, and said, "There is no need to call the imperial physician. If the news spreads, people will think something is wrong."

"It's okay, let's just ask for your peace pulse." Chunjia prevaricated casually, frowning slightly, "What kind of cold food have you been greedy for the past two days? It's autumn now, it's not like when you were escaping the heat."

When asked about her usual diet, Yun Fenghuang answered incongruously, thinking about how to bring the topic to Kunze's marriage, and coaxing him to give an accurate answer.

However, Chunjia cared very carefully. She couldn't find a chance for a while, so she could only answer one by one.

After a while, the imperial doctor came in a hurry. After looking around and questioning, I really couldn't see anything wrong with the imperial concubine. Combining with a series of things in the palace recently, it was natural to conclude that it was caused by being too tired. I rested for two days and ate some nourishing food, but no medicine was prescribed.

When the imperial physician left, Chunjia stared at Yunfenghuang without blinking.

This made Yun Fenghuang feel a little flustered, secretly thinking about whether he had exposed his flaws somewhere?

"Don't get sick, why don't you go to other people's place first?" She held her breath, tried her best to appear weak, and said softly, "You are also very busy now, so you can't make any mistakes."

Chunjia was silent, and the silent Yunfenghuang's heart beat like a drum, and he maintained his sick posture calmly.

After a while, the emperor stood up and said, "That's fine, you can take a good rest, don't worry too much."

He also said that the Empress Dowager Yuan would send someone to tell Yun Fenghuang to stop "serving illness" from tomorrow.

Seeing him walking swiftly, Yun Fenghuang was very angry, if I let you go, you will go?

Then why didn't you listen to the palace asking you to promise the princess to the brother of the palace immediately?

Sure enough, there is no good thing for men in the world!

She beat the bed angrily for a while, then sighed angrily, turned over and got down on the bed, and called Chen Jingqing and others to her front.

"The Empress Dowager Mother intends to find out about the princess's wife Yun's son, have you ever found out about it?" When these people came and dismissed the idlers, she looked around and asked in a deep voice, "Jiashan Palace Over there, although I haven't been there these days, I have been telling you not to take it lightly, why did I know about this matter when His Majesty came here today?"

Chen Jing, Chen Zhu and other palace officials who were in charge of inquiring about the news hurriedly knelt down and pleaded guilty, saying that it was all their fault, but they also euphemistically explained that it was really not that they didn't work hard, but that Queen Mother Qu was not working hard with Chun. When Jia spoke, the mother and son closed the door and muttered to each other after the scene was cleared. During this process, Yan Yin and other attendants of the mother and son surrounded the house, and there was no possibility of eavesdropping.

So what Empress Dowager Qu said to Chunjia in private, they were really powerless and couldn't find out.

"But now that His Majesty has personally informed the empress, the servants will know who to find and what to do." Chen Jing added, "But I don't know whether the empress intends to support this matter or oppose it. This matter? The slaves and maidservants have an idea in mind, and when they do things in the future, they will not misunderstand the plan of the empress."

Yun Fenghuang snorted: "I only know about this matter now, and I don't know anything else, so how can I draw a conclusion? Go and find out first!"

Chen Jing hurriedly responded, and said: "Madam, there is another matter at Jiashan Palace, that is, these days, the Empress Dowager has sent people to visit twice. As you know, the Empress Dowager always lives in secluded places. Qingci Palace doesn't have much contact or connection, so this servant feels that I need to tell you."

"Did the people sent by the empress dowager meet the empress dowager or someone else?" Yun Fenghuang asked with a slight frown, recalling what Chunjia had just said.

Chen Jing said: "The people sent by the Empress Dowager entered through the side door of Jiashan Palace. Because the concubines took turns serving the two empress dowagers for two days, the Holy Mother and Empress Dowager never left anyone. Therefore, Jiashan After the servant of the palace received the news, he led the man to the side hall, and asked Princess Kunze to talk for a while before sending him away."

Yun Fenghuang sneered, and said: "The princess is really old now, she can make up her own mind about all kinds of things, and let the Queen Mother make decisions."

Hearing that this was wrong, the left and right looked a little more cautious.

The Qing people asked, "Your Majesty, are you the princess of Kunze County?"

"Keep an eye on her." Yun Fenghuang raised his chin and said, "If there is any disturbance in Jiashan Palace in the future, especially anyone related to the Empress Dowager, report it all!"

After exhorting them like this, they sent the others away, leaving only the servants from the Qing Dynasty waiting for Xie's servants, and let them go out of the palace tomorrow to give Xie Yanxiu and Jiang Zhui something to say: "I remember that they are not married yet, so I want them to study hard and don't slack off! At least in front of the bone, I have to pretend to be a little motivated for Bengong."

Hearing these words, Qing Du and Qing Ren glanced at each other, both secretly delighted: "Your Majesty, what do you mean...?"

Yun Fenghuang cautiously said: "The matter hasn't been finalized yet, so it's hard to say, but these two are good brothers who grew up with me, I won't harm them."

After ordering this matter, she remembered again, called Chen Jing back, and asked him: "Your Majesty just left us, where did you go?"

"If you go back to your mother, His Majesty will go directly to Chunwan Palace."

Yun Fenghuang only said that he was going to ask for leave for her, and the corners of her mouth twitched, feeling a little regretful... She pretended to be sick to force Chunjia to compromise, but in the end she didn't achieve her goal, let the emperor go I don't know if I mention this next time, will this person turn over the old score?

If I had known earlier, I might as well continue coaxing him.

When she was thinking this way, she didn't know that the bedroom in Chunyou Palace was on the verge of tension.

Empress Dowager Yuan with a livid face slammed the medicine bowl in her hand on the palace bricks, and shouted sharply: "The Qu family is petty, and always threatens to return to Fuyang County! The Ai family has always looked down on her, but now they look , she is quite interesting! Why don't you choose a couple of days, Huang'er, and send the two of us away together! Anyway, the lineage of King Fuyang now has an heir, and we, the wives and concubines of the former king, Don't worry about being filial!"

"What did the queen mother say?" Chunjia rolled up her sleeves and bowed slightly, "That's not what my child meant."

"What do you mean if you don't mean that?" The Empress Dowager Yuan didn't look at him, but just sneered, "The imperial concubine is a little sick, so you come to wonder if the Ai family murdered her, and the Ai family was ill before, did you ever suspect the imperial concubine? !"

Chunjia said: "Why would my son miss my mother like this? My son is just worried that someone will take advantage of my mother's current illness to sow discord..."

"There is no one in front of the Ai family who makes decisions without authorization!" The Empress Dowager Yuan interrupted him directly, "Don't pretend to be here! What? I want to use the Ai family to vent my anger on the noble concubine because of face. People as scapegoats? Aijia tells you, either you have to deal with Aijia all the time, or if Aijia is still alive for a day, the people in front of Aijia will be beaten, punished or killed by Aijia himself, and it is not up to others to decide !"

He sneered again, "Let's not say that the concubine's illness has nothing to do with Ai's family, even if it has something to do with it, so what? Why do you still want to make Ai's family happy to please that slut?!"

"I dare not think so, my boy..."

"If you still think of yourself as a child of the Ai family, you won't say such things." The Queen Mother Yuan said coldly, "The Ai family is old and can't help you. One by one is more stupid than the other, but together they can’t compare to the dexterity and cleverness of Xiaoyun’s lowly servant girl! All these Aijia know it. So if you feel that there is no room for Aijia in this palace, then just say it, Aijia is in Fuyang County After most of my life, I only stayed in the imperial capital for ten years, so I can't survive when I go back to be supported by my heir?"

Chunjia was silent for a while, finally sighed, cupped her hands and said: "The queen mother really misunderstood the child. The mother mother is angry now, and the child may become more and more dark. If the mother calms down, the child will come to greet you and explain to you."

After saying that, he bowed again and walked out.

Empress Dowager Yuan remained motionless for a moment, then suddenly got up, and kicked over the short girl in front of her!

"Your Majesty, please calm down." Left and right quickly knelt down on the ground, comforting each other.

Zhan Liu sighed, told them all to retreat, stepped forward to support Queen Mother Yuan, and said in a low voice: "I'm already old, and I still don't take care of myself, isn't it to make relatives hurt enemies?"

"..." Empress Dowager Yuan pursed her lips tightly, and then said slowly after a while, "Do you know what the Ai family thought just now?"

Without waiting for Zhanliu to reply, she continued, "The Ai family thought of Niangniang. You said, Niangniang watched him turn his mind and energy away from her little by little, to favor that little Yun family, didn't she? Is it the current mood of Aijia?"

"How can Niang Niang compare with you? Even the mother and son are not without quarrels. The servant girl told you two days ago that your majesty has been working very hard in the temple during this time, and the harem is not peaceful. It's okay to say some angry words in anger." Zhan Liu patted the back of Queen Mother Yuan's hand, and said in a low voice, "You are a mother, why bother with him? Your Majesty said that he has been on the throne for ten years, but in fact it's okay. How old is he? He is still so young, and he has endured for many years. It is not easy for him to come to the present step by step. The concubines also have their own thoughts, and only you are sincerely thinking about him. If his temper does not attack you, he can rest assured Who will you reveal it to? After all, beyond your threshold, he has to be the wise, powerful and young emperor, to be able to suppress those ulterior motives in the front court and the rear palace!"

He also said to Yun Fenghuang, "No matter how cunning Xiaoyun is, it has only been a few years since he was favored? The maid said something you don't like to hear, this person likes the new and dislikes the old. Like the concubine An, if it wasn't for His Majesty who kept looking at it Now, how can Xiaoyun win the favor so quickly? The instigator has no heirs? Even though Xiaoyun is full of tricks, after three or five years, His Majesty feels that it is not new. When the newcomer arrives, why did His Majesty hate Concubine An in the first place? Yes, sooner or later I will dislike her."

Empress Dowager Yuan smiled wryly, and said, "Xiaoyun...do you really think he came for Xiaoyun?"

Seeing Zhanliu slightly startled, the queen mother sighed lowly, and said, "He, although he does prefer Xiaoyun, but he is not to the point of disregarding the overall situation for the sake of Xiaoyun's disaster, how could it be possible, because Xiaoyun's How can you blame Aijia without any grounds?"

After a pause, she said, "He is for the one in Jiashan Palace."

Zhan Liu didn't know what to say for a while.

"Actually, it's not just for Jiashan Palace." The Queen Mother Yuan said to herself, "It should be said that he is mainly for himself. As you said, he is currently involved in government affairs and has no intention of worrying about disputes in the harem, so I hope to mourn Whether it's family, the one in Jiashan Palace, or even Xiaoyun's, let him worry less."

"This is a blow to Aijia."

"Did you see it just now? Knowing that Aijia is angry, how did he do it? In the past, he was always coaxing the little ones, but now he just shakes his hands and walks away."

"What are you talking about waiting for Ai's anger to pass before coming to plead guilty? It's better to wait for Ai's compromise before coming here for a formality!"

Empress Dowager Yuan burst into tears, "The Ai family has raised him for many years, and never thought... never thought... that he would treat the Ai family like this!"

Zhan Liu felt very uncomfortable, and said in a low voice: "Maybe you think too much, maybe His Majesty just lost his composure for a while, and now I don't know where to regret it."

"He was brought up by Ai's family. What kind of temper does Ai's family not know about him? Do you think he will lose his composure for a while?" Queen Mother Yuan asked back.

Dip Willow fell silent.

The Empress Dowager sobbed softly, wiped her face after a while, but said: "However, this is also a good thing."

Under the puzzled eyes of her servants, she said slowly, "The Ai family used to worry that he would be spoiled by the Xiaoyun family... Maybe there is no need to worry about it in the future, right?"

After all, Chunjia's tolerance is limited to everyone.

The same is true for the loving mother empress dowager who claims to be closer than her own mother, let alone a noble concubine?

And there is another point, "Even if the Ai family is worried, the Ai family can't help but worry about it."

Anyway, the result is the same, so why does she still do useless work?

...The next day, the Spring Palace closed its doors to thank the guests, and sent away all the sick concubines.

Empress Gu, who didn't know where she was, was very worried, so she went to the palace gate to see her in person, but after wandering for a long time, she finally came out to see her: "Your Majesty, go back, the Empress Dowager said that all the empresses have been very attentive these two days, but the Empress Dowager After all, I am more used to being served by people around me, and people coming and going are very disturbing. Therefore, I plan to close the palace for a few days."

Gu Zhen asked anxiously: "Auntie, it's all because of my concubine. I didn't teach the concubines well. I came here to serve the queen mother. If I don't want to, I will cause trouble for the queen mother."

Zhan Liu had a good impression of the queen, so he comforted her a few words in a soft voice, telling her not to worry too much, the loving mother, the empress dowager, had no intention of blaming Zhong Gong at all... and then sent Gu Zhen away.

Just after noon on the same day, Jiashan Palace did the same thing, ordered all the sick concubines to leave, and announced the closure of the palace.

The two empress dowagers suddenly returned to the silence and aloofness of the ordinary Ji Sheng when he was in power. After hearing this, the court and harem were naturally very surprised.

In the palace of Taichu, Chunjia listened to the reports from the subordinates, his expression was complicated for a moment, and he finally said: "The two empresses have always been inconsistent with the phoenix body, and now they want to raise them alone for a while."

Someone took some nourishing things from the inner treasury and sent them to the empress dowagers of the two palaces and the empress dowager respectively, and then continued to review the memorials.

Empress Dowager Yuan and Empress Dowager Qu did not mention how the emperor felt when they saw this, but the Empress Dowager sneered and said to the left and right: "I didn't expect that my family would pick and choose from the many clans. I chose a real dragon! With such experience and age, there is such a heartless decision, but if he dies when he is not strong, why worry about not being able to rejuvenate the Gongxiang clan?"

Left and right are afraid to answer.

"What the queen mother said is wrong." But there was a voice from outside. It was the regent who strode in and said loudly, "Chunjia has a heart of stone, and can be cruel to his stepmother, adoptive mother, and biological mother. The noble concubine you love is nothing more than mediocre, in the eyes of this kind of people, from the beginning to the end, there is only oneself and nothing else, and they don't understand love and kindness at all, so how can they rule the world for a long time?"

The Empress Dowager raised her eyebrows slightly: "What are you doing here at this time?"

"Naturally, the queen mother has to make the decision." The regent bowed slightly under Dan Chi, straightened his waist, and immediately took out a letter from his sleeve and handed it over, "Queen mother, Weihe has changed, and it may affect the court soon!"
