Chapter 207 Sweet Queen
"Sister, have you heard?" Concubine De was so impatient, she sat down and couldn't wait to tell, "The loving mother, the Empress Dowager, is planning to leave the Imperial Capital and return to Fuyang County! Your Majesty knelt down and promised to take back the treatment of the Yuan family." , and failed to persuade the empress dowager!"
Yun Fenghuang said lightly: "This matter... don't you know how many people are still in the harem?"
"Sister!" Concubine De raised her voice and looked at her with wide eyes. Seeing that the concubine was not moved at all, she breathed a sigh of relief, but she was still a little worried, "But sister, if this happens, His Majesty might... Will you be in a bad mood?"
Concubine De was very euphemistic, but in fact, how could it be as simple as being in a bad mood at the moment?
During the palace confinement, it has been rumored for two days that the majestic emperor knelt in front of the loving mother, the empress dowager, grabbed the empress dowager's skirt, and cried and begged repeatedly, but the empress dowager remained unmoved...
Of course, this is not the focus of the concubines.
The point is that if the queen mother leaves like this, will the emperor pour his anger on them?
Or, if the emperor's attitude is so earnest, if the queen mother is persuaded, then...if she becomes more domineering and meddles in the sixth palace like a serious mother-in-law, wouldn't they have a hard time as well?
All in all, the concubines of the sixth palace are feeling a little bit on pins and needles right now.
"Why? Do you want to comfort me?" Yun Fenghuang looked at Concubine De, with a half-smile on his face, and said, "Sisters, it's okay for others to do this. As for you, I would like to advise you, or Don't join in the fun!"
Concubine De couldn't help asking curiously: "Sister, why is this? In the past two days, it has been rumored that His Majesty has no interest in government affairs, and can't take care of anything. He is only thinking about how to persuade the Empress Dowager."
The voice lowered, "Sister, of course, doesn't want the loving mother, the Empress Dowager, to stay, but, are you trying to put on a show?"
In fact, she didn't care much about whether Queen Mother Yuan would stay or not.
After all, Concubine De didn't have much contact with the loving mother Empress Dowager. As for the Empress Dowager, after making such a fuss this time, will she interfere more in the palace in the future...
Concubine De was not very worried either.
The reason is simple, the queens and concubines above her are not fuel-efficient lamps.
Even if the Empress Dowager wanted to target her, she would not be able to reach her in a while. Out of her trust in the noble concubine, De Fei felt that she was still very safe.
Don't need to worry too much about these disturbances.
But the noble concubine must hope that Queen Mother Yuan will go far away.
In this way, she couldn't help persuading Yun Fenghuang in a low voice, "My sister heard that the queen mother has made up her mind now, and her majesty can't persuade her so much. Seeing Tian is packing up things. Why don't you show your face, my sister guessed, The loving mother, the Empress Dowager, would probably not agree either. But after doing so, His Majesty felt..."
"Your Majesty will feel in his heart that this palace is really hypocritical. He obviously doesn't want the empress dowager to stay, but he still wants to put on a show." Yun Fenghuang took a sip of his drink and said with a light smile, "Good sister , not to laugh at you as a sister, but you can think that this palace does not want the loving mother, the empress dowager to stay, and even wishes for her to leave early... Do you think your majesty will be confused? Usually, your majesty pretends to be confused and understands. Forget it, at a time like this, when he is getting angry because of his loving mother, the Empress Dowager, he pretends to be hypocritical, doesn't he think that His Majesty can't find a punching bag?"
Concubine De was startled, and hurriedly said: "Sister, my sister definitely didn't mean that, my sister just..."
"I know you are kind." Yun Fenghuang said with a smile, "If someone else comes to tease me like this, I will not spare her!"
"Sister, but will the actions of the loving mother Empress Dowager..." Concubine De calm down a little after hearing this, hesitated for a while, and asked in a low voice, "Would it be possible that after she leaves, His Majesty will anger the Six Palaces?"
The point is, take your anger out on your concubine?
After all, everyone knows that the empress dowager who is the most troublesome in the harem may be the noble concubine Yun Fenghuang.
In the past, the Empress Dowager did not make a fuss about leaving, so the emperor was filial on the surface, but in private he often favored Yun Fenghuang. It's all right now, the queen mother is leaving, and her attitude is very firm, Chunjia doesn't even deal with Xingningbo's mansion, that's a big crime of confusing the blood of the Tian family! It can be seen that the emperor cares about the Queen Mother Yuan in his heart.
In this way, the emperor stopped the queen mother, saying that he would not be able to obey everything from now on; if he couldn't stop him, how could he get along well with those who didn't deal with the queen mother?
Yun Fenghuang was also silent for a while when he heard Concubine De's question, and then said lightly: "Your Majesty wants to vent his anger, who can do it? In short, it is the matter of the mother and son, we outsiders, it's better not to intervene rashly."
Seeing Concubine De thought deeply, she raised her eyebrows, "Why?"
"...Sister, we are outsiders to His Majesty's mother and son, but some people, at least she herself may not think they are outsiders." Concubine De covered her mouth with a round fan and whispered, "After hearing the news, the empress thought hard, and asked What should I do with Concubine Shu and my concubine... No, I just sent someone to Huzhu Palace."
Because the emperor ordered the imperial concubine to give birth before giving birth, no matter what kind of intentions Chunjia had in mind when she ordered this, in short, since that day, Yun Fenghuang has never been out of the house.
As for the queen's greetings, he also used the emperor's instructions to prevaricate... Gu Zhen didn't argue with her about these things, so he readily agreed.
The imperial concubine has been detained in the Huanhua Hall for the past two days. Although she is not ignorant of the outside news, some news is inevitably delayed.
Listening to Concubine De's words at this moment, she smiled, but didn't care about it: "The empress is sincere, but I hope Your Majesty will appreciate it."
After thinking about it, she said, "Actually, first of all, An Jieyu has to be willing to help."
Her guess was not wrong at all, An Jieyu ignored the queen's entrustment at all, and said coldly: "Your Majesty can't make the empress dowager change her mind, let alone my palace?"
It directly blocked the person back.
Gu Zhen knew that the queen was out of temper, and scolded the white-eyed wolf for a long time in the Chongchang Palace: "Who doesn't know that An Jieyu would not be where she is today if there is no loving mother and empress dowager?" Prince, which one is not the kind mother empress dowager who won her for her? Not to mention the direct aunts, even the mothers, not everyone is willing to do so! Now that the loving mother empress dowager is going to travel far at an old age, she actually has the heart to stand by and watch !"
"Why do you need to be angry? Isn't it a good thing that the empress dowager is gone?" Left and right persuaded, "After all, the empress dowager stayed in the palace, so many things happened for nothing!"
The voice lowered, "Even if the eighth prince, bah, bah, even if the bastard is gone, the empress dowager, the unloving mother, is still raising the sixth prince?"
Back then, the loving mother, the empress dowager, was able to plan for the eighth prince, sending him to be raised by the empress, and even waiting for the opportunity to enter the East Palace.
Now the so-called eighth prince has been taken away by the Secretary of the Imperial City, and will not appear again in the future, but the sixth prince under the name of An Jieyu is still well raised in the Spring Palace!
As far as the emperor is now treating Queen Mother Yuan, if Queen Mother Yuan wants to win something for the sixth prince, how can the emperor not agree?
"Why would I be happy to see the empress dowager stay in the palace? But think about it, I am the queen, and she is one body with your majesty." Gu Zhen said helplessly, "At this moment... other people pretend to be deaf and dumb. Forget it, if I don’t know anything, Your Majesty is thinking about the empress dowager and has no time to take care of him, so it’s okay. When this matter is over, do you think he can not blame me?”
This is the disadvantage of being the main palace.
At critical moments, the concubines can hide, because they are only concubines of the emperor Ji, and they shouldn't talk too much about the business. But the queen can't escape, she has to have the responsibility that the main palace should have.
Originally, I wanted An Jieyu to play the front line, so that regardless of whether the emperor and mother were willing to be interfered by -, they could at least try it out.
In the end, An Jieyu refused to agree, and Gu Zhensi had no choice but to bite the bullet and go to the front to pay her respects to the loving mother, the Empress Dowager.
To her surprise, the Empress Dowager Yuan did not make things difficult. Not only did she summon her readily, but she was also very polite. When they met, she was given a seat without a gift, and then she took the initiative to apologize to her, saying that she really didn't know what Concubine Yuan Xian did. In any case, the so-called Eighth Prince would not be arranged in the Queen's Palace, followed by the rhetoric I told Chunjia before: "...the Ai family does have selfish intentions, but there is absolutely no way to let that scoundrel be the crown prince. Things! After all, not to mention that you already have two healthy sons-in-law under your knees, just say how big are all the evil ones? You know better than the imperial concubine how difficult it was for the emperor to be in charge. My child, I care more about my own life than my own, no matter how much I turn my elbows outward, I won’t make fun of the country he worked so hard to manage..."
"The Ai family just wants to let that evil breed grow up in front of you, to be taken care of by the aunt, to get closer to the brothers who will be in charge of the East Palace in the future, and to feel pity for the king..."
"only……"
"Hey, the Ai family knows that you definitely don't believe it now, anyway, this matter is over with the emperor's side, and the Ai family doesn't ask you to believe it, let's just tell you."
"This matter, after all, Aijia is sorry for you."
Gu Zhen sincerely said that it's okay, and the queen mother is also a victim... In short, this meeting turned out to be a harmonious relationship between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law.
Even when the emperor came over in the middle, the queen mother asked Chunjia to treat the queen better in front of the queen: "The queen is an old man who entered the palace when you were married. It has been really difficult for her these years. The Ai family is about to leave now. Those I won’t say much if it will hurt our mother and son’s peace. In short, the middle palace is the middle palace, and even if you are partial, my son, you can’t go too far.”
Rationally, the empress told herself silently that the empress dowager, like the noble concubine, is very good at coaxing people. These words may not be intentional.
But emotionally, she was still a little touched...
Especially looking at the few strands of frost on the empress dowager's temples, there was a sincere impulse to ask her to stay.
"It's not easy for the Empress Dowager." So much so that after returning to the Chongchang Palace, Gu Zhen couldn't help but sigh to the left and right, "Although she is not His Majesty's biological mother, she has a deep love for His Majesty's mother and child, which is not comparable to the Holy Mother and Empress Dowager... ...This time I took the initiative to go back to Fuyang County, I must have really broken my heart!"
Looking at each other left and right, after a while, she whispered: "Your Majesty, this...the empress dowager was not like this in the past."
Don't forget how irritable and desperate you were when she persecuted you just because of other people's few words!
"I know." Gu Zhen sighed, "I haven't forgotten the words of my loving mother, the Empress Dowager, but... she is going to leave, so I can't help but feel soft."
Just that.
It's just a little pity for this old man who has worked so hard all his life but failed to have the last laugh, and can only exit decently in a tacit way.
It's just that the queen is sweet, and other people don't think so.
For example, Zhan Liu sighed in front of the emperor at this moment and said: "...the empress is going back to Fuyang County. Now, I have to explain to her personally that I really don’t know Concubine Yuan Xian, no, the child brought back to the palace by Yuan Fengyi is not the heir of the emperor. Don't even dare to mention this. The queen's temperament is indeed a bit reckless. Of course, don't blame the queen, you know, the queen is not a smart person, she should really want to keep her Damn, it's the wording, um, it's always misleading."
So of course it's heartbreaking.
Chun Jia frowned suddenly.
