Chapter 208: Greed

The queen didn't know that the queen mother's master and servant immediately gave her a knife in the back, and she was thinking about preparing some practical things for the queen mother Yuan, so she opened her own private treasury for this purpose...

Then it occurred to me that Empress Dowager Yuan's reputation in the Sixth Palace was not very good.

If you are the only one who gives the gift, but the concubines are indifferent, isn't the old man's face unattractive?

Therefore, I made a special announcement in private, and let Liugong prepare for it.

She thought it was a good deed, but Concubine De went to Huanhua Palace to visit Yun Fenghuang again, and asked what should be given as a gift, and the concubine smiled meaningfully: "Our empress... This is a typical example of being kind." Do something bad!"

"What's the meaning of sister's words?" Concubine De was not really undecided about what to give the concubine, but came to gently remind Yun Fenghuang if she should also get involved?

After all, the lord of the Sixth Palace belongs to the noble concubine and has the worst relationship with the loving mother, the empress dowager.

This time the loving mother empress dowager is leaving, it's fine if the noble concubine didn't say anything to persuade her to stay, and she didn't even prepare anything, it seems that she doesn't care about the loving mother empress dowager, right?

Even if the imperial concubine has always been favored by the imperial concubine and is still pregnant, in the eyes of the concubine de, after all, the Empress Dowager Yuan is the mother of Chunjia and the elder who is most valued by the emperor, so she still has to give her a basic face.

Hearing this at the moment, he was shocked.

Just then Yun Fenghuang said with a light smile: "We all know what the Queen is like. Since she revealed her intentions, she should be sincerely trying to treat the Queen Mother well. But... she is also in a daze! Your Majesty still In the rush to keep the loving mother empress dowager, she even prepared the presents, and even wanted to mobilize the six palaces to prepare a farewell gift for the loving mother empress dowager. Is this because the loving mother empress dowager leaves? Do you want to call again? The Secretary of the Jiaofang will find some clever tricksters to arrange a dance, and after the loving mother Empress Dowager leaves, immediately hold a banquet to celebrate for a few days?"

Concubine De was stunned when she heard this, she broke out in a cold sweat immediately, and said in a low voice: "But... But the Empress Dowager is obviously going to leave! Since the Empress has announced this intention, I am afraid that the Empress Dowager is unlikely to stay gone?"

"That's the matter of the loving mother empress dowager." Yun Fenghuang pointed out, "We must follow your majesty, so we definitely don't want her to go, right? If we don't want the loving mother empress dowager to go, why should we do it for the loving mother?" The empress dowager is preparing for a long journey? Doesn't this mean that you are urging the empress dowager to leave?"

She narrowed her eyes slightly, "If this palace is a loving mother, the empress dowager, I would have to use this as a raft and tell your majesty that this is not because I don't want your majesty to be willing, it's your majesty's harem. The queen is the first to stay here! You said your majesty listened." After that, how will you feel?"

Concubine De took a breath, and was a little puzzled: "But, since the empress dowager is planning to go back to Fuyang County, why is she treating the empress like this now? She is gone, Concubine An and the sixth prince, no Is it possible to go together?"

"She is an elder of King Fuyang's lineage, not an elder of Xiaozong's lineage. Of course, it is impossible for the emperor and the prince to follow her." Yun Fenghuang said lightly, "It's just... Her Majesty is already very sad that she left this time. If you still have to suffer so many grievances when you leave, tell me, can your majesty feel more distressed? Can you think of ways to compensate her? For her status, is the reward of the title of money and silk meaningful? In the end Can these benefits not fall on Concubine An and the Yuan family?"

Thinking of this, she sighed, and said to herself, "I'm afraid the Empress Dowager Qu is going to die of anger this time!"

The Empress Dowager, who started as a concubine of the prince of Yuanzhi, worked hard, kept a low profile, and endured for more than 20 years. Finally, she seized an opportunity to severely slash the relationship between Chunjia and the Empress Dowager Yuan.

Seeing that the fire was about to be set on Empress Dowager Yuan's head, and then destroy the love that Empress Dowager Yuan had for raising Chunjia for many years, she took advantage of the vacancy as her biological mother... Empress Dowager Yuan returned to Fuyang County alone, which not only inspired Chunjia from childhood The feelings accumulated with her depended on each other, which completely weakened the bad influence caused by people like Uncle Xingning and Yuan Zhiniang confusing the royal blood.

The most terrible thing is that, as the concubine of King Duan of Fuyang, the concubine of King Duan of Fuyang is going back to Fuyang County. Is it possible that Empress Dowager Qu will stay in the Imperial Capital?

The Empress Dowager Yuan personally told her to keep her, and it was not easy for her to stay!

In this way, Queen Mother Qu's hard work, forbearance, layout, and victory over the past few years are meaningless. When I go back to Fuyang County, it is conceivable that Queen Mother Yuan's status and power in Fuyang County are above her. Because she was far away from the imperial capital, she couldn't even pretend to be pitiful for Chunjia to see... Wasn't this how Queen Mother Yuan dealt with her as she wanted?

After going around for decades, I still have to kneel down in front of the Queen Mother Yuan, living in her shadow, this feeling...

Tsk tsk, the Empress Dowager Qu has remained silent until now, she is considered persevering.

If you change someone else, I'm afraid you will be so angry that you vomit blood.

"Not only that, but the matter of the Yuan family's confusion of bloodlines, don't mention it in the future." Yun Fenghuang looked up at Concubine De, and warned solemnly, "I have time to tell your father and brothers, this matter will be your Majesty's from now on." taboo. Whoever mentioned it, it reminds His Majesty of the sadness of the Empress Dowager's resolute departure... Do you understand?"

Concubine De nodded solemnly: "Sister, don't worry, sister will definitely remember it!"

He added, "Sister will definitely tell the family too!"

She thought for a while, and couldn't help but move a little bit, and leaned into Yun Fenghuang's ear and whispered, "However, when will this loving empress dowager leave? It's been two days since she packed up her things. Let's go, everyone in the temple is trembling, and no one dares to offend His Majesty at this time. My sister's grandmother has been sighing and sighing for the past two days, and I don't know what to do with the mission that His Majesty gave me before?"

"The errand, your Majesty is not in the mood to ask questions right now, so you might as well delay it." Yun Fenghuang said, "As for the loving mother Empress Dowager, she should leave in the next two days. Otherwise, it would seem too scheming ...Even if His Majesty is immersed in the mother-child relationship and can't react, how can he not be aware of it after calming down and thinking about it? Your Majesty...is not easy to fool!"

Concubine De thanked and took her leave, while Yun Fenghuang put the fan against her chin, thoughtful.

"Your Majesty, it is a good thing that the Empress Dowager is gone, and no one will be watching our Xuanqing Palace in the future." The Qing people came in to drink, and said casually when they saw it, "It's just that I don't know what your Majesty will do after she leaves. Won't be depressed, come to our Xuanqing Palace less?"

Yun Fenghuang smiled, put the round fan on the table, took the drink, stirred it with the silver spoon, and said casually: "It's a good thing that she left for a long time. After all, Fuyang County is far away. No matter how long the hand is, it may not be so convenient to stretch out. But for a short time, Ben Gong is really worried! Don't forget, on the night of the palace change, this one arranged for us. And Ben Gong's delivery date is coming soon ... If something goes wrong at that time, she may be a little bit taboo in the palace; if she is not around, then it is uncertain."

"As for your Majesty not coming to Xuanqing Palace...the loving mother, the Empress Dowager, is packing up her things and returning to Fuyang County. Did he ever come here to scold the Palace in exchange for the Empress Dowager's sympathy?"

The Qing people shook their heads quickly.

Although Chunjia hadn't been here for a while, she basically didn't go to the other concubines in the harem.

The Son of Heaven is very busy now, and he is always in the Palace of Absolute Beginning.

"Isn't that enough?" Yun Fenghuang said calmly, "He still protects Bengong in his heart, otherwise, let alone come and scold Bengong, I'm afraid I won't let Bengong kowtow to the empress dowager to make amends, or even immediately reprimand her. Leave this palace, in order to get the kind mother, the Empress Dowager, to change her mind?"

Speaking of this, he was silent for a while, and said, "Actually, if he does this, maybe the loving mother Empress Dowager will really soften her heart."

In the final analysis, it was Yun Fenghuang, not Queen Mother Qu, who threatened Queen Mother Yuan the most in the harem.

This time Queen Mother Qu's design is indeed a successful oriole...

However, without Yun Fenghuang's separation of mother and son, with the affection between the Empress Dowager Yuan and Chunjia, it is unlikely that the Empress Dowager would withdraw because of a single quarrel.

Similarly, if Yunfenghuang did not exist, Queen Mother Yuan was designed by Queen Mother Qu this time. With her means, she can take revenge very quickly. There is no need to use such means as leaving the imperial capital to protect the Yuan family and herself The relationship with Chunjia.

The effect of Ji Liu Yong retreat seems to be good, but it can't be used often, it can only be used at critical moments.

Queen Mother Yuan would not do this unless it was absolutely necessary.

Leaving the imperial capital will certainly arouse Chunjia's reluctance for her, but it will also weaken her relationship with Chunjia due to the passage of time, and greatly weaken her control and influence on the imperial capital, the palace, and the temple.

If weighed carefully, the disadvantages outweigh the advantages.

It's just that Empress Dowager Yuan has to go...so she won't simply leave, Yun Fenghuang thought in his own shoes, Empress Dowager Yuan's desire to kill her as a noble concubine is probably stronger than ever before.

Only when Concubine Min Gui died and there was no one in the palace who could disagree with Queen Mother Yuan, would she have a chance to come back.

Even if Yun Fenghuang really died young, as long as she was considered to have nothing to do with the Queen Mother, Chunjia might not take her own initiative to take her back and continue to take care of her life.

Today's Chunjia didn't even win a Shengshou Festival when he first ascended the throne, his status and power are becoming more and more stable.

Since he succeeded in seizing power by keeping a low profile and keeping a low profile, he did not rely on external forces, such as power ministers or eunuchs, to officially assume power. The aptitude and talent displayed by the young emperor are recognized, and the courtiers are increasingly in awe of him. deepen. Even if the emperor has not accomplished any particularly astonishing political achievements, his prestige has been established unconsciously. If he wants to do something out of the ordinary and not in line with the rules, as long as it is not too much, the courtiers can't screw him.

Thinking of this, Yun Fenghuang lowered his eyes and sighed, so the emperor still defended her.

The so-called confinement in disguise is indeed protection.

If it wasn't for the emperor's order, she would have to kneel in front of Queen Mother Yuan to plead guilty... This plea is not for other people to see, but for the emperor.

Because even if the queen mother's decision to leave the imperial capital has nothing to do with the noble concubine on the surface, but in the hearts of the queen mother, Chunjia and Yun Fenghuang, is there still nothing to do?

"But Ben Gong is greedy, it's just such sympathy..." She thought indifferently, "But it's still not enough!"

The noble concubine turned her head and looked towards the southeast. That was where the East Palace was located. It had been vacant for many years since Emperor Xiaozong ascended the throne.

And since she entered the palace, she has made up her mind that the next master there must be her heir!
