Chapter 304 Quota

"This Mrs. Gong is young and ignorant, so it's embarrassing for my concubine." Yun Fenghuang said to Chunjia when he heard the words, "Originally, even the empress seldom interferes with the people in the palace. Last time, the two gentlemen Didn’t the empress not interfere with her affairs? Especially when she came here as a concubine, what does this mean? Although the empress is tired, she can still talk for the past two days. Instead of going to Chongchang Hall, come to Xuan first. Qing Palace, if the news spread, I thought that the concubine despised Zhong Palace!"

Chunjia also frowned slightly, and said: "After all, these few come from humble backgrounds, because they don't know the rules very well."

Yun Fenghuang knew that he would not defend the newcomer too much in front of him, and he did not intend to do things so harshly that the emperor would not say anything, but he was somewhat disappointed in his heart.

Therefore, I told my own difficulties, and then sighed: "It's just that Concubine An's method... After all, she is a newcomer who just entered the palace. She is ignorant, so just teach her slowly. Why is she so cruel? I'm scared. The concubine wants to persuade me a little bit, but I'm afraid that Concubine An's impatience will misunderstand the concubine. How about your majesty?"

"For the affairs of the palace, you should discuss it with the empress." Chunjia didn't expect that the imperial concubine would blame him in person, and shook his head with a dumbfounded smile, "I won't get involved."

He is really not good at blending.

The main reason is that although the emperor was somewhat tolerant and sympathetic towards the newcomers, he was not so tolerant and sympathetic as to argue with the high positions in the palace for them.

Especially Concubine An, as his childhood sweetheart, may have lost all the affection between each other over the years because of Yun Fenghuang's instigation and Concubine An's own actions. Considering this, Mr. Chunjia wanted to keep her face.

Otherwise, Empress Dowager Yuan would have gone far away to Fuyang County, and in the end, her most beloved niece was blamed by the emperor for being a newcomer from a poor family.

He didn't want the queen mother to favor the Yuan family, he didn't want the queen mother to always make things difficult for his favorite concubine, and he didn't want the queen mother to intervene in the battle for the crown prince...

But the emperor's filial piety and attachment to Queen Mother Yuan is also true.

Si Zhan alone is not as respectable as the empress dowager who made him beat around the bush.

Of course, the emperor didn't like Concubine An's behavior after all, so he didn't say anything partial, he just said that he didn't care and let the concubine worry about it.

Anyway, the queen and the noble concubine knew it well, and they definitely wouldn't do anything to Concubine An.

In fact, this is indeed the case. Gu Zhen even complained to Yun Fenghuang in private the next day: "It's true, Concubine An, she really doesn't like newcomers, so she should be quicker, make a fuss today... what's going to happen?" When? She doesn't care about her reputation anymore, I don't want people to think that His Majesty's harem is full of cruel people!"

"She has that kind of temperament." Yun Fenghuang sighed, "I was also a concubine under her hand at the beginning, if I didn't have some blessings, I'm afraid the grass on the grave is turning green now. It's been a while. I thought that the past two years had been peaceful, but maybe I changed my mind. Now it seems that I am thinking too much. This group of newcomers is also bad luck, but she just fell in love with them. There is no way, His Majesty said that he would not interfere in what he said, obviously he was thinking of the kind mother Empress Dowager's affection. Since Your Majesty considers it this way, we can't insist on making the loving Empress Dowager feel unhappy."

Gu Zhen frowned and said: "Actually, I want to ask Concubine An. If I feel that I can't stay in the palace, I might as well go to Fuyang County to serve my loving mother, the Empress Dowager. I agree."

"Your Majesty, it's better not to mention this to Concubine An, maybe she thinks that she has been out of favor for many years and you still can't tolerate her." Yun Fenghuang shook his head and said, "At that time, even if I go to Fuyang County, I will cry with my loving mother, the Empress Dowager. Get up, do you think the loving mother Empress Dowager can help her seek justice with His Majesty? What will His Majesty think of you then? Your Majesty will not go to her now, so let her make trouble if she likes. Just a few newcomers, if Your Majesty likes it , go back and choose something.”

As she spoke, her voice became cold, "Don't forget that this group of people was originally presented by the subordinates without authorization, but in fact, the empress did not even ask her to see it!"

Gu Zhen heard the words and remembered the difficulties of the past six months. She and the imperial concubine had a lot of grievances in the past, and they even supported each other. The emperor was in the former court and could not go to the harem to accompany them to share the joys and sorrows. She can understand this, because Chunjia really can't at the moment something. Even if she is a queen, and her natal family is behind her, since the East Palace is not yet clear, she is not sure whether the officials and clan members will support the establishment of the head or the establishment of the heir, and even the entire harem and the emperor's heir will lose. The two sons took advantage?

After all, Chunjia is not Xiaozong's own blood, he was able to ascend the throne because of Ji's efforts to overcome all opinions; now he is firmly on the throne, purely by personal means.

But how many years has it been since the Son of Heaven has been in power?

His own position is stable, as long as one day, he can still hold back up and down.

However, his authority and prestige have not been infiltrated into the hearts of the subjects. Once something happens to him, the emperor's heirs are so young, and the harem also lacks people who can listen to the government behind the curtain. When the time comes, the clan and ministers' thoughts will fluctuate, who will benefit? It's hard to say.

So Gu Zhen didn't blame Chunjia for not going to the harem these days, but she really didn't like the courtiers who took the opportunity to give favor to the emperor, and the newcomers who took the opportunity to win the favor of the emperor.

At this moment, she pursed her lips for a while, then sighed softly: "That's right. So let's do this, I will ask someone to go to Huzhu Palace to speak later, so that Concubine An can be quieter later."

Then he said, "She is so ruthless, she is really the same as before..."

But she smiled a little self-consciously, "After so many years, there are many people who come and go in this palace, maybe Concubine An is the only one who hasn't changed? I don't even know myself now."

Yun Fenghuang smiled lightly and said: "People will always change. How could I have imagined the present in the past?"

Gu Zhen listened to her sideways and looked at her a few times, feeling that the corners of the imperial concubine's eyes and brows are much warmer now, her sharpness has been restrained, and she is no longer the old arrogant, sharp eyes and heart that can sting people anytime and anywhere, to be honest, really Much pleasing to the eye.

Especially from the standpoint of a possible opponent, it is almost a long sigh of relief.

That's why she praised sincerely: "The noble concubine has really calmed down a lot now."

Bengong is so calm and calm, why don't you just give the phoenix seal to Bengong?

Yun Fenghuang slandered in his heart, and said with a smile: "It's probably because he's older, but he looked away."

She talked with the queen for a while, seeing the middle palace euphemistically asking about yesterday's entrustment, she pondered for a while, and said, "Your Majesty always keeps silent. If I ask too many questions, Your Majesty will just say that I'm bored. Step aside."

Gu Zhen was very disappointed. She had listened to Mrs. Zhao Wubo conveyed Mrs. Gu’s guess that even if Zhao Wubo came back this time, even if he suffered a loss, there was no need to worry. It might be to make Gu’s owe the concubine a favor, so she felt that since Entrusting Yun Fenghuang to speak in the past, then there should be a general tone.

Now that the noble concubine has returned without success, Gu Zhen can't help but feel uneasy, thinking that the emperor feels that he has a good relationship with the noble concubine recently, and is worried that the noble concubine has got the bottom of it? Or, is the concubine simply fooling herself?

Seeing her change of expression, Yun Fenghuang continued calmly: "However, I feel that Uncle Zhao Wu should be fine."

"How do you know?" Gu Zhen asked puzzled.

Yun Fenghuang said slowly: "Your Majesty, please think about it, Uncle Zhaowu has been back for a while, if His Majesty has any plans, how can he stay on the sidelines? So far there is no explanation, and it is estimated that it is about time to send Uncle Zhaowu back to the North to continue to garrison Either that, or thinking about what kind of errands to arrange for Uncle Zhaowu in the court. It's just that Uncle Zhaowu has a high position and authority, so His Majesty inevitably needs to consider a lot."

Gu Zhen felt that this explanation seemed reasonable, but he felt relieved and thanked her sincerely.

The noble concubine returned to the Huanhua Palace with a few words of humility, meditating alone, but felt that the relationship between the emperor and Uncle Zhaowu was really a bit weird.

She knew that Chunjia didn't really like Gu Fangshu very much. After all, the commander of the Dingbei Army had been with the regent for many years, and it was hard for the emperor to avoid aversion and suspicion. Especially after Gu Zhen became the empress, the old man Gu was very flattering to the emperor, but Gu Fangshu himself did not show much loyalty to the emperor, can the emperor remember?

So if Uncle Zhaowu was taken to the imperial capital as soon as he came back, then she wouldn't be surprised. It wasn't once or twice that Chunjia took down a strong opponent with thunderous momentum. Whether it was the Ji family or the regent, who didn't lose suddenly, on the eve of the time when everyone thought the two sides would fight for 300 rounds?

But it has been a long time since Uncle Zhaowu came back, and the emperor has neither questioned him for his crimes nor offered him a reward, which is very puzzling.

Chunjia is not a procrastination person.

What is he planning?

Yun Fenghuang thought about it, but because he didn't know many things and couldn't guess the result, he simply left it alone and asked Chen Jing: "What's going on with Concubine An? Have you been looking for trouble for many years, or do you have other ideas? I remember that Yuan Zhu is still in charge of Ningbi Palace? Didn’t you try to persuade Concubine An?"

Chen Jing said in a low voice: "It is said that Yuan Zhu persuaded her, and it was because of Yuan Zhu's persuasion that Concubine An got worse. Madam, this servant has the guts to guess: Concubine An seems a little... crazy!"

"It's fine if she was crazy when King Qi was gone. She wasn't crazy then, so why is she crazy now?" Yun Fenghuang said disapprovingly, "Could it be that she is going to pretend to be crazy and pretend to be stupid? Ignore these confusions and continue to investigate. If the empress dowager is still there, it may not be easy to deal with, but now there is only Yuan Niangniang, she is of such a low standard, and she still wants to hide it from me? You must not lose face of me!"

Because of her pressure, Chen Jing turned her head and put in a lot of effort. Sure enough, she soon got some news and told her: "Your Majesty, the people under Concubine An did have close contact with some people in the palace a few days ago. It’s just that those people seem to have a relationship with the Taichu Palace... It seems that when the newcomers stayed in the side hall of the Taichu Palace, they said a lot about Concubine An. That’s why Concubine An wants to send people over.”

This news surprised Yun Fenghuang, she thought Concubine An was ordered by the Queen Mother Yuan to do something big, so how could it be public revenge?

She couldn't help but ask: "What did the newcomers say, they are so bold! Even if Concubine An falls out of favor, she is still a concubine, and she is the niece of the loving mother Empress Dowager, so they are qualified to talk about it?"

"Isn't that right!" Chen Jing sighed, "And they are also stupid, they only think that the people who serve them must be towards them. They dare to say anything, but someone will sell the news to Concubine An... But it added to the disturbance in the palace."

The newcomers were not wronged if they said that, after all, they were too outspoken at the time. On the one hand, they envied Concubine Min and had ambitions to become the next Yun Fenghuang; , the empress dowager's niece, played a good hand of cards is terrible, really stupid.

Yun Fenghuang asked herself, if she were Concubine An, she would not be able to spare these people!

So it's no wonder that after Wen Shijiang and Si Zhan's accidents, Concubine An made another move.

This time she was even more ruthless than the previous two times, but she gave the conditions to leave the Huzhu Palace, and even if she performed well, she could help recommend her to the concubine, even the imperial concubine's palace.

Although Yun Fenghuang rejected Xu Xuxin in public before, but after these days of lessons, the newcomers have gradually understood that the distance between the high position and them is really far away.

The noble concubine didn't care about Xu Xuxin's request, but if Concubine An took the initiative to entrust her, even if the concubine had a lot of fights with Concubine An at the beginning, she might not be able to give Concubine An a decent position for the sake of a position in the palace.

Besides, with the example of Wen Shijiang and Si Zhan, even if he couldn't enter the Xuanqing Palace, and couldn't copy Yi Xingen's way of Qu Hongzhuan, as long as he left the Huzhu Palace, he could still escape.

So the newcomers are very excited.

The problem is that……

Concubine An gave a spot.
