Chapter 71 Self-Defeating

The result of Chen Jing and Chen Zhu's thorough investigation made Yun Fenghuang feel even more unhappy, because the Xie family's disciples admitted that they were the ones who started this matter.

"The young masters said that they didn't think about it at first, but when they were drinking in private, someone mentioned the death of Bailu, and they remembered Qi's name, and made fun of it." Chen Jing said cautiously, "After that It was passed on by the subordinates... If it is passed on ten or ten times, it is... According to the servants, the young masters have also been used."

This must have been used. Who doesn't gossip in private?

But how many people's gossip will be spread so quickly that it will alarm the palace?

If it was someone else, Yun Fenghuang wouldn't care if he was made a scapegoat by accident or by coincidence, and would insist on asking Chunjia to give him an explanation.

But it was her own brother who was stupid. She had to endure all kinds of boredom and doubts, and she could only vent a few words in front of her confidants: "If they can't afford this, who can use them?! A bunch of bastards After a few drinks, you dare to say anything! The matter of appreciating the auspiciousness at the osmanthus feast, the ministers have never mentioned it now, what kind of things are they, dare to speak nonsense there?!"

"Your Majesty calm down." The left and right persuaded, "Now that the matter has come to an end, let's think about a countermeasure, all the young masters must know that they are wrong."

Yun Fenghuang sneered and said: "They know they are wrong? Will it be over if they know they are wrong?! I am doing my best for them in the palace, what about them???"

Breathing out, he waved his hand to ask the attendant not to persuade him any more, and said, "Forget it, I don't want to talk about this now, and let's talk about who is fueling the flames. Do they know this one?"

If you don't even know this, then there is really no need to cultivate these brothers and nephews, there is no hope.

"...you young masters were at a loss at first, but after receiving the news, the eleventh son rushed over. After some questioning, he found that the children of the Wei family, the Luo family, and the Ouyang family had all visited the house in the past two days." Chen Jing buried her head. Even lower, "You probably have nothing to do with them. After all, if the empress despises the Xie family's children, they can enter the eyes of the empress."

Nowadays, the imperial concubine's words are recognized by the imperial concubine, and the emperor can listen to them the most. In this regard, even the loving mother, the empress dowager, is somewhat inferior.

Such a favorite concubine, of course everyone hopes to get her full support.

However, she has blood brothers, and no matter how hard someone else treats her, she knows that she can't write two words of thanks in one stroke. Yun Fenghuang bears the surname of Yun, but she still thinks of herself as thanking her family in her heart. How could she be so easy? Give up blood relatives to protect outsiders?

Therefore, these aristocratic families who have marriages with the Xie family may be most eager for the Xie family to hate Yun Fenghuang.

There is nothing wrong with Xie Fu's speculation.

Yun Fenghuang said with a cold face, "Then what are they going to do now?"

Chen Jing said with a wry smile: "Mr. Eleven said that there is no basis for this matter, so he can only knock his teeth out and swallow it in his stomach, so that you can all remember it... Eleventh Master wants to enter the palace to plead guilty, but he doesn't Do you know if the empress is willing to be summoned?"

"What did you summon him for? Are you here to piss me off?" Yun Fenghuang took a deep breath and said, "Come here, send Kuo'er back, and tell me that now that I am raising three heirs under my knees, I am physically and mentally exhausted, and I have no strength to do it anymore." Raise two nieces. It's okay if Meng'er is older and doesn't have to worry so much, and Kuo'er is younger, don't delay her because she can't take care of her!"

In fact, although Xie Kuo is younger than Xie Meng, he is more stable and sensible than Xie Meng.

If you want to worry, Xie Meng is more worrying.

Besides, it is an honor for these two nieces to be raised in the palace, unlike the emperor's heirs who need to care about every detail, they are usually taken care of by the palace servants and the servants they bring into the palace, Yun Fenghuang will only summon them when he thinks about it Take care, it doesn't cost anything at all.

Saying that at the moment, but deliberately throwing a face.

The Qing people couldn't bear it, and said in a low voice: "Madam, Miss Kuo is still young, can't you... tell the eleventh son first, then?"

This is just a show, to scare Xie Fu and the others, lest Xie Kuo feel uncomfortable.

"Kuo'er is still young, but how many brothers are younger than me are the brothers who are causing trouble for me now?" Yun Fenghuang sneered, "You love Kuo'er, why don't you love me? I don't treat them well enough? The result? Everyone thinks that I am a wooden man, let them get what they want, don't think about the situation in the palace, right? If this is the case, why do I still praise them? !"

She didn't let Xie Kuo kowtow in front of him and leave, she just asked someone to send him back!

Because of this turmoil, Xie Xiliu's family was not involved, it was just caused by the second-bedroom, third-bedroom and fifth-bedroom people eating wine together.

Coupled with the fact that there is a difference between a direct niece and a cousin niece, Yun Fenghuang only asked Xie Kuo to be sent away as a warning.

Who knows that Xie Meng has made trouble for Xie Kuo since Yun Fenghuang blatantly praised Xie Kuo, now that he heard that Xie Kuo was going to be sent away, he felt pity for his sister, and came here to act like a baby with Yun Fenghuang , wanting to keep Xie Kuo.

Yun Fenghuang usually pampered and indulged her, but he didn't go along with her when it came to serious matters, and he just made excuses. However, Xie Meng didn't know how to look at his face, and made a fuss that he must keep Xie Kuo here, and even said: "Auntie rarely summons us, if Kuo'er leaves, what's the point of me being alone? Or Auntie will also send me away Go back."

She said that only because she wanted to retreat to advance, but she completely angered Yun Fenghuang in her anger!

"If that's the case, why should I be such a villain and have to separate you little sisters?" The imperial concubine smiled angrily, and pushed her away directly, telling people, "Send Meng'er back too, and when she returns to her parents, What's the problem if she wants to go to the mansion every day to find Kuo'er? It's a shame to stay in front of this palace and suffer great grievances!"

Xie Meng was stunned for a moment, and wanted to say something, but was forcibly pulled away by the palace servants.

"Miss, why do you want to offend your mother for Miss Kuo?" Back at her residence, the waiter packed her luggage while persuading her with a sigh, "Your Majesty is your biological aunt. After all, it's only in the next room, how much should you hurt your mother's heart by turning your elbows out like this?"

At this time, Xie Meng actually felt a little bit regretful, if she had deep feelings for Xie Kuo, it wouldn't be enough, at most, there were no other playmates of the same age in this palace, and she was used to the existence of him.

In addition, he overestimated his status in the eyes of his aunt, so he made trouble.

Now that even she has to be driven back, she can't help but feel very embarrassed.

The little girl wanted to save face, although she was very annoyed, she still refused to admit it, saying: "I will go back, I haven't seen my parents for a long time, I still think about it very much! Next time my aunt wants me to accompany you, I'm not here yet!"

"Hurry up and stop talking!" Left and right listening hurriedly went up to cover her mouth, "If you want the young master and the young lady to hear it, I must be angry with you!"

In fact, after Xie Meng was sent back, Xiao Chen, who learned the ins and outs, almost died of anger on the spot. After holding back, she raised her hand and gave her daughter a slap on the ear, saying that she was so stupid: "At home I love you so much because you were born like your aunt. Otherwise, it’s not that there are no daughters in your uncle’s family, and your father is not the eldest son of the fourth wife. Why are you so different, that you can be brought up by your aunt? It turned out that you were fine, you just let Kuo Er in the next room get dirty earlier, but now you ruined your own future because of her! It can be seen that you are blind like your aunt, apart from your appearance, This Xinxing city is even inferior to the servants in front of your aunt!"

Xie Meng, as the apple of the eye of Sifang's generation, has ever been treated like this, and immediately burst into tears of grievance: "They say that my aunt loves me, but I just said a few words for Kuo'er, and she even chased me away." Come out, what kind of sincere love is this?"

"Are you stupid?" Seeing this, Xiao Chen's heart softened again. After all, her own flesh and blood had always been loved and had high hopes. She came from Wan'ai, how old is she when you count her age? Although there are three princes under her knees, how can you expect her to endure you? You must know that the family has always tolerated you. After entering the palace, she is the darling of His Majesty, and she dare not belittle her in front of the harem... You have such an aunt, even your parents dare not neglect her, you are a child, you usually mess around, She can still laugh it off. On serious matters, why do you have trouble with her? "

"Besides, you shouldn't quarrel with her. The first thing she wants to send away is Kuo'er. I don't know if you are a mother. Kuo'er is much more sensible and considerate than you?"

"It can be seen that she still prefers you, but you still rush to make things difficult for her. Can she continue to spoil you?"

Seeing that Xie Meng was crying, thinking about the young girl, he couldn't tell her clearly, and besides, everyone has been sent back now, and it is impossible to send her back in a while, so he ordered someone to take her there. After washing and settling in the back, I went to the front to find Xie Xiliu: "For the current plan, I can only invite my parents to come to the imperial capital to sit in charge."

Xie Xiliu frowned and said, "Mother is also inseparable from home."

"Is the one-third of an acre of land in the family important, or the future of your father and son?" Xiao Chen said angrily, "As the saying goes, there are only three things. How many times have your brothers made your mother angry? Now Niangniang even sent Menger back, so it can be seen that she is very angry! Niangniang was brought up by us, you don’t know her temperament? She is not the kind who will endure and compromise again and again for the sake of family relationship Originally, she did not rely on her family to get her favor back then, so she was in a hurry, and she directly told His Majesty to draw a clear line with us, what will happen to our family then?"

Xie Xiliu said: "Your Majesty won't do this. Even if you don't care about the relationship between flesh and blood, she has to find someone to rely on in the temple. In the future, King Qin and the others will have a guaranteed future, right? Besides, she will only be a noble concubine if she is favored. There is also the empress on top. Now that His Majesty is here, the Empress will give her three points, and if...then the time comes when her mother's family can't speak, will she not be afraid that the Empress will settle accounts?"

"Just think about it!" Xiao Chen sneered, "Didn't you not be there when Eleventh brother interrogated that screwdriver? Luo family, Wei family, Ouyang family, what are these high families doing to marry our family?" , Why do you want to support your brothers? Is it for yourselves? Isn’t it just to see the empress’s face! If the empress abandons us and supports the children of their family, they will be better than you, and they will have to coax the empress to treat them as Brothers look at it... At this moment, who of us has the face to save the mother's heart? Maybe we can only hope that the mother will come over!"

She thought to herself that it would be great if her mother-in-law came, and then take care of Xie Xiliu, and don't even try to please any messy lowly maid!

Although the Jiang family didn't care about their sons taking concubines and maidservants, they were very particular about the differences between wives and concubines. Even if they were not very satisfied with their daughters-in-law occasionally, they were determined not to allow concubines to provoke the mistress.

Focusing on this point, the daughters-in-law respected her from the bottom of their hearts and told their husbands to be filial to their mother-in-law.

At this moment, Mrs. Chen said again: "Furthermore, Sifang is the only family in the imperial capital right now. Even if we didn't participate in this matter, the empress is a person who likes to vent her anger... At the beginning, because of Chao Jingyou, the big Chao's children There is no good thing to say in front of her. Once the empress really hates you, you are not her only brother, are you?"

Xie Xiliu was speechless all of a sudden.

Because of the big age gap between him and Yun Fenghuang, even though he is a compatriot, he seldom got along with each other before. In terms of relationship, he is indeed not as good as his eighteenth brother Xie Xiaoyu.

That is the brother who not only has the same mother as Concubine Min Gui, but also shared a teacher, grew up together and studied together.

It can be said that if Xie Xiaoyu hadn't come to the imperial capital and had no heirs, whether Xie Meng could be taken into the palace to be raised would be a problem.

Between Xie Xiliu and Xie Xiaoyu, there is no doubt about Yun Fenghuang's choice.

"...I just don't know if Mother is willing or not." Xie Xiliu was silent for a long time, then said slowly, "You also know that Mother has her own ideas, she will not come if we want her to come."

Xiao Chen sneered: "It's true that the weight of the two of us is not enough, but if the empress has the intention to dislike Xie and turn to Yun and Ouyang, and the news is known to grandma and the others, do you think grandma and the others can not be impatient? Are you urging your mother to come over to round things up?"

Then when the mother-in-law came this time, even if she knelt down and hugged Jiang's thigh and did not let go, she would definitely keep him!

Because the Xie family's children in the imperial capital knew that they had completely annoyed Yun Fenghuang, so the letter they wrote home was believed, and within a few days, they received a reply from Beidi, telling the old lady to go on a hunger strike for two consecutive days , indeed forced Jiang to agree to come to the imperial capital to persuade his daughter to reconcile with the family.

But what bothered Xie Xiliu and his wife was that Xie Xiaoyu was also accompanying them.

After all, the end of the year is approaching now, and the Northland has already been ravaged by snow and wind. As a son, it is reasonable to worry about his mother going out on a long journey alone.

Besides, everyone knows that he is the one who has the closest relationship with Yun Fenghuang among the Xie family's children, and he is also a compatriot of the same mother. If he goes to the imperial capital together, he can also help persuade the noble concubine to remember the old love, right?

Xie Xiliu and his wife had no reason to object at all, they could only wait annoyed and depressed.

As for Yun Fenghuang, although he is very worried about the uneasy situation at home, he still has no time to get out of his body to think about countermeasures.

Because the marriage of the eldest princess Minghui was scheduled for the first month.

I have to be busy right now.

Afterwards, Princess Kunze came out of the cabinet. Although the Ministry of Rites was responsible for the specific process, in order to show Chunjia's emphasis on golden branches and jade leaves, the focus was on Minghui. The look of the heart.
