Treacherous Living in the Imperial Harem

Chapter 293: Newcomer

Yun Fenghuang's expression was calm and calm, after all, he hadn't seen Chunjia for half a year, and it was impossible for an ordinary man to keep his body like a jade, let alone the emperor whom many people looked up to?

She never thought that Chunjia would stop looking for someone else if she had her in his heart. After all, her own father, Xie Jian, loved Xie Fenghuan's mother-in-law Qin very much, but this did not prevent him from treating his wife with respect and occasionally going to The other concubines stayed in their rooms for two nights. In this way, many people still envy Qin Shi, thinking that she has a good life and met a kind and righteous person.

Jiang had taught her daughter early in the morning, don't regard a man's heart as the most important thing, even that is not the most important thing, the capital of a person's life in the world is the most important thing to care about.

Therefore, the fact that Chunjia has a newcomer can't touch Yunfenghuang's anger.

The point is, these fresh newcomers cannot threaten her status.

At this moment, facing everyone's evasive gazes, I didn't care, I just said calmly: "Let's talk about your thoughts, everyone has been in the palace for so many years, who should be promoted and how should be promoted, I always have some thoughts , let’s not talk about it now, it’s not easy to change it when I report it to the Empress Empress. After all, the Empress Empress is still lacking, and even this time because of her inability to see things, she gave the phoenix seal to Ben Gong... I don't want to disturb the empress again and again!"

Everyone heard that the empress directly gave the phoenix seal to the noble concubine, but they were not as complicated as Yun Fenghuang himself.

Because it is not a day or two for the noble concubine to be in charge of the six palaces, everyone is used to her talking more effectively than the queen in many cases.

The phoenix seal is not the phoenix seal... To be honest, in the eyes of these concubines who have nothing to do with palace power, it doesn't feel like it's an important thing.

Hearing this, she hesitated for a while, and Concubine De, who felt that she had the best relationship with the imperial concubine and the highest status, spoke first: "Sister, there are two concubines in my sister's palace, and they are usually regarded as respectful..."

Seeing that the imperial concubine was listening carefully, she didn't mean to just put on a show, but seemed to be sincerely encouraging them to plump their wings. A group of concubines couldn't sit still, and they rushed to tell Yun Fenghuang their thoughts to keep up, and hinted After the newcomers come into the harem, they will definitely fight against each other and not give them a good life!

These words are not just to please Yun Fenghuang, for the entire harem, normally there are not many people who say they like newcomers.

After all, this group of newcomers is considered to be four or five years younger than the youngest among them. In the palace, who would be happy to see young and beautiful descendants come to the palace when their youth is fading?

"It doesn't have to be like this." Yun Fenghuang advised them to calm down instead, "The harem has been unable to serve His Majesty in the past half a year, and His Majesty can't be left alone in the front court, without even a person who knows the cold and the hot? Those people The reason why the foreign ministers present beauties is also to relieve His Majesty's worries. Speaking of which, this is also the fault of our harem. At that time, we patronized the emperor's heirs and did not think of His Majesty."

Of course he said so, Yun Fenghuang turned his head and wrote a small poem of resentment, and ordered Chen Jing to pass it on to the former court to show Chunjia.

Looking at it, Chunjia felt guilty, and rewarded Xuanqing Palace generously. She also said that the promotion of the Sixth Palace was all up to Yun Fenghuang, not to mention, even the status of the newcomers was left to the empress and noble concubine to decide , he was determined not to interfere.

This reaction made Yun Fenghuang secretly heave a sigh of relief, it seems that the methods of the newcomers are still immature after all, this mere half a year of effort has not made the emperor forget the old ones.

"Before I asked you to inquire about the origins and dispositions of those newcomers, as well as their dignity in front of His Majesty. How are you doing?" At this time, she asked Chen Jing, "If you have any clues, tell me in detail."

Chen Jing knew earlier that Chunjia had a newcomer because she was afraid that the imperial concubine would not be able to bear it, so she didn't dare to say anything, and of course she didn't dare to investigate further, so as not to leak the news and let the imperial concubine know.

This time the imperial concubine pointed it out on her own, and he started to act. Hearing the words, he bowed and said "yes", and then said: "The ten newcomers presented by the foreign ministers to His Majesty are not yet famous, and they only serve His Majesty as court ladies... "

The harem was sealed off for half a year due to smallpox, whether it was to take the opportunity to take away Yun Fenghuang's favor, or simply to follow the crowd, during this time, the contributions of foreign ministers were actually far more than ten.

It's just that Chunjia didn't refuse all comers, and asked the servants to come forward and pick and choose, only ten of them were kept.

Among the ten newcomers, the one who is called most frequently is the elder sister of a pair of twin sisters, Huali. Rumor has it that the two sisters look alike, even if they are close, it is difficult to tell them apart. They are dignified and beautiful, good at singing and dancing. Chen Jing implicitly hinted that although the two sisters usually have a good family, they are charming and enchanting when they dance, and they look like two different people.

Among them, the older sister's dancing skills are better than the younger sister's. I don't know if Chunjia is because of this, so she loves Xu Xuxin even more.

Second only to Xu Xuxin is Chunjia's fellow countryman, Gong Caisun, a beauty from Fuyang County.

This Gong family's favor is related to her culinary skills. It is said that she is good at cooking, and she has a clever mind to introduce new dishes from Fuyang County. The imperial meals presented by the imperial dining room were not moved much. Moreover, Gong Caisun was docile, reticent, and only served the emperor with his heart. For a group of companions, no matter whether they are favored or not, they are polite, even a little submissive. It's the kind that looks harmless, even easy to bully.

Afterwards, Wan Rou, Ye Jianqiong, Fan Jingjiao, Wen Shijiang, and Wen Mingcui were more or less favored. In contrast, Si Zhan and Feng Ying were not very proud, and they did not serve many times. Chunjia didn't seem to be very interested in them either.

Yun Fenghuang listened, and asked calmly: "The two surnames Wen, Shi Jiang and Ming Cui, are these two also sisters?"

Chen Jing said: "Hui Niangniang's words, but not. These two were donated by the governor of Hengzhou. It just so happens that they both have the surname Wen, but they are not related by blood."

After a pause, he whispered again, "It seems that they are still a little discordant."

"Hengzhou?" Yun Fenghuang thought for a while, then smiled, and said, "I remember, when I first entered the palace, there was chaos in Hengzhou. It's only been a few years, why is Hai Qinghe Yan has reached the point where he wants to present beauties to His Majesty? Go back and pay attention to me."

Although I know that the governor of Hengzhou may not have caused this incident, but since she has made a move, don't blame her for settling accounts afterwards!

The imperial concubine made some calculations in her mind, and asked Chen Jing to continue to describe the specific situation of the ten newcomers, not even ignoring the two who were not favored.

After all, these ten people were selected after thousands of selections. When they arrived at the imperial court, they were also allowed by the emperor, or at least tacitly agreed to stay. It can be seen that there is something that the emperor likes about him, otherwise, he would be like those unsuccessful candidates who were sent all the way in the morning but were sent away, how would there be a chance to stay?

"Wan Rou and Ye Jianqiong served His Majesty in a regular manner, but Wen Mingcui was extra lively. When accompanying His Majesty in front of the imperial court, he occasionally made outrageous remarks and was punished by His Majesty. But she was still chattering when she looked back... Your Majesty's temperament Generous, as long as she doesn't say what she shouldn't say, let her go."

"Wen Shijiang's temperament should be gentler. I heard people say that this servant is a bit like Mrs. Qingshu when she first entered the palace. It is rumored that she has some talents and learning. Once His Majesty became interested, he even asked her to sing poems."

"But she had a lot of quarrels with Wen Mingcui in private, and once even got into an argument in front of the imperial court."

"At that time, His Majesty scolded the two of them, and only called Xu's sisters to serve them for more than ten days. They were probably afraid, so they asked Gong Caisun to help intercede, and His Majesty calmed down."

"As for Si Zhan and Feng Ying... the former was born better, he is no worse than... the empress. It's just that they are a bit dull, and they have served His Majesty for several months, and they still dare not lift their heads when they speak. I came down a few times, perhaps because His Majesty was not interested, so I seldom summoned him. But the daily expenses were not allowed to be deducted by the subordinates; in fact, at the beginning of the latter, His Majesty still... still summoned a lot, but later When His Majesty found out that she was humiliating the Gong family in private, His Majesty hated her. Although she has not yet been completely disgusted by His Majesty, she does not have many opportunities to serve the imperial court."

Yun Fenghuang thought in his heart that from this point of view, these few ranks are the same thing, and there is no one who is the favorite in the competition of ten people, so it is not a big deal.

I don't need to be too nervous... Well, yes, she is not nervous, she is just very angry! ! ! !

Just now, I thought that I would be able to stabilize myself by following the court training. After all, when she entered the palace, Chunjia was already in the Sixth Court of the Three Palaces. After all these years, there are so many people coming and going in the palace. Did the emperor's favor tear him apart? What she's tearing up is her status and future, right? She is so open-minded and ambitious, but she is not the kind of person who is full of love for children, so it doesn't matter if Chunjia has ten newcomers... no wonder it doesn't matter! ! !

In the past half a year, although it is not convenient for the harem to serve the emperor, is there someone in the harem itself? !

They are here to take care of the emperor's heir, pay attention to themselves, and take care of palace affairs... The emperor embraces the red sleeves and adds fragrance without any delay!

Yun Fenghuang even regretted that nothing happened during the private meeting with Qi Jiulu.

Ah wait, there's no need to drag Qi Jiulu in because of Chunjia's bastard.

Anyway, the future is long, she will settle this account with the emperor sooner or later! ! !

The imperial concubine's heart was ups and downs and she couldn't calm down for a long time, but she just thought of how many people in the harem are holding their breaths and waiting to see her jokes. Is it so easy for her dignified imperial concubine Min to show her timidity? !

In the end, he restrained himself and said to Chen Jing in a slow voice: "I already know about it. Since these people are still maids of honor, let them continue to serve His Majesty."

Chen Jing knew how domineering her master was, so she would not persuade her to pretend to be virtuous and give the newcomer some rewards to win favor, so she just bowed down.

On the contrary, the Empress sent someone to call Yun Fenghuang over the next day, and discussed with her while supporting her sick body: "Your Majesty has a newcomer in front of me, and I don't have the heart to take care of it now... You see, it was okay before, but now There is nothing left in the palace, why don't you give me some rewards? Those who say they are maids are doing the work of concubines these days. In the future, they will be given positions sooner or later. There is no need to make a joke I am stingy, I know them clearly, but I still keep silent, as if I am jealous."

Yun Fenghuang was bored in his heart, thinking that it was no wonder that the queen would be ill, so why was she so afraid that others would say that she was not good?

It's just a few newcomers, even if they get some favors now, it's still a question of whether they can gain a foothold in this palace in the future. Does the dignified palace need to think about the long and short?

She couldn't help but think of Ji Lingzi, the Empress of the Yuan Dynasty. She still remembered that she designed Yuan Niang to be the first among the newcomers to get a promotion. The concubine and the others discussed palace affairs with the attitude of treating her like nothing... At that time, it was true that she was angry and depressed from Yunfenghuang's standpoint, but now that she thinks about it, that is the pattern that a queen should have.

"Now the imperial concubine knows that you are sick, who is so inconsiderate and dares to disturb your rest with the matter of a few maids?" The concubine frowned, "Could it be that someone from the newcomers sent you a message? That concubine can't spare such a restless thing! The dignified empress is tired, who cares about going to the front court to entertain your majesty with such a big matter? It's fine if there are noble ladies in it. But They are from a poor family, so what is that? Is it worthy of your empress to worry about it yourself?"

The queen didn't know what she was thinking, and thought that the imperial concubine really felt that her rest was more important than those newcomers, so she felt a little warm in her heart, and said with a smile: "Actually, this palace is not impatient with these trivial matters, but what the left and right say makes sense. Earlier we were busy caring It's fine if you don't make it. Now, it's time to take a look..."

The voice lowered, "Otherwise, the previous court might have forgotten about us!"

That's about the same.

Hearing that Yun Fenghuang felt relieved, the Queen's purpose was not to give rewards to those newcomers, but to remind everyone of the existence of the harem in this way.

In fact, today's flowers in the harem have disappeared, and everything is complete up and down.

But the emperor is the Ninth Five-Year Sovereign after all, and the imperial physicians tried to persuade the emperor to pay homage to the imperial temple after the beginning of the new year, arrange for people to do prayers, and then consider unsealing the harem.

Because most of the courtiers who made such admonitions, Yun Fenghuang speculated that Chunjia himself was also worried that he would fall ill and collapsed, so he half pushed and half agreed, so the matter was settled like this.

She also doesn't want Chunjia to have any good or bad things now, so she doesn't interfere.

Listening to the queen's words at this moment, she pondered for a moment, and said: "Your Majesty's words are true, it's just a reward. From the perspective of my concubine, don't be too expensive, lest the newcomer be young and ignorant, and give you a pampered nature." -Son. Go back-come into the harem, behave in an unruly way."

The queen said: "I will take care of it, just follow the reward given by Cai Nu."

After finishing speaking, he pondered for a while, but suddenly comforted Yun Fenghuang, "Don't think too much, you and His Majesty have been in love for many years, and those newcomers are just here to relieve His Majesty."

Yun Fenghuang was slightly stunned, and was a little bit dumbfounded for a while.

If it wasn't for knowing Gu Zhen's temperament and knowing that she was sincerely persuading him, he would have thought it was the queen who deliberately laughed at her.

"Your Majesty, don't worry, this concubine knows what she is doing." The imperial concubine smiled, and greeted the queen a few more words, and when she saw that there was nothing else to do, she took her leave.

When I went out to the gate of the hall, I happened to meet the third prince, King Chu and the tenth prince, who came to pay their respects to the queen.
