Chapter 371 Yun Fenghuang: I Don't Gamble!

Yan Yin hesitated for a moment, and said: "After hearing about this, the servant girl asked the imperial city governor to go to the hometown of that Jiang Cai girl, and checked all the way since she was selected by the flower and bird envoy, but no one was found. Contact her. Later, I found out that there are many brothers in her family, three generations, and only this one daughter, so although she came from a poor family, she is deeply loved. In addition, her father has a reputation as a scholar, and he opened a private school in the countryside. Some words... When in the country, they are quite arrogant."

Chunjia mused, rare is the most precious thing, although every family is looking forward to a son these days, but it is human nature for a girl who only has three generations to be favored.

He also had many daughters, why didn't he favor Zhaoqing more?

At the level of the emperor, there is nothing unusual about a girl who is both knowledgeable, intelligent, talented and beautiful, but when he was a vassal king, he had many private visits in white dragon fish clothes, so he naturally understood that it is not easy for ordinary villagers and men to be able to read and write. Girls are even rarer. So this Jiang's family background is said to be from a humble family, but he is considered the best among them.

And being able to be selected as a female picker shows her good looks.

Under such circumstances, it is not impossible to be angry at the oppression of the companions who have a backer, and even force them to die... It is not impossible.

However, seizing the situation in the front court and the harem, taking advantage of the queen's paranoia and fear, to win the chance to retreat and even become a concubine, this is not the pattern and ability that a scholar's daughter can have.

Even the scholar itself, generally speaking, shouldn't have such ability?

"Since his father was able to raise such a daughter, how could he stop being a scholar?" The emperor pondered for a moment, then asked slowly, "Even if he was unlucky and failed to pass the exam, in the countryside, there should be something unique?"

The problem is, unless such a person wants to rely on his daughter to gain wealth, he will definitely find a way to keep his children from being selected.

And according to the means Jiang showed, her family shouldn't be unable to protect her.

After all, scholars already have the privilege of being exempted from certain taxes, and if they have more brothers, they will also have more labor, and their family background will naturally win compared to ordinary farmers. Do you know how beautiful this girl is? The flowers and birds are used, and if they use some benefits, they will almost escape.

Chunjia heard this kind of trickery a lot when she was a vassal prince, so she didn't care.

Anyway, as long as he wants to continue the heirs of the poor family, he doesn't want to catch all the beautiful and poor family.

Yan Yin bowed and said: "Jiang Xiucai does have a good reputation in the countryside! It is said that their family did not want their daughter to be selected. It was just that when the flower and bird envoys went there, Jiang Xiucai helped a farmer who was bullied by officials to appeal for grievances. The officials kept their grudges, and specially came to remind the flower and bird envoys that Jiang's daughter is beautiful. The flower and bird envoys went to Jiang's house to look for them, and saw that Jiang Cainu was indeed young and beautiful, and was very satisfied, so they were selected to be cultivated in Xiuzhuo Palace."

Chunjia nodded slightly, which made sense.

He asked softly: "Since the empress has promised the concubine position, what are the circumstances to be concubine? Can't everyone be concubine?"

"The empress said that after Shengjia returns to the palace, it will be the Mid-Autumn Festival. At the palace banquet at that time, all the girls will be asked to perform in public. The judges will be judged by the majesty, the empress, and the concubines, and the best three concubines will be selected. "Yan Yin said softly, "Under the eyes of everyone, His Majesty sits in the town in person again, regardless of family background or background, the winner goes up, the mediocre goes down, fair and just. Jiang Cainu and others have no objection."

Chunjia smiled slightly.

That just seems fair.

After all, without mentioning that there are differences in family background between Cai girls who are also from the same poor family, how can they not be cultivated earlier if they are arranged by the queen, noble concubine, and concubine De?

Not to mention that he is proficient in everything in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, at least he will arrange for someone to teach him a thing or two.

A truly good family with no backing like Jiang Cainu has only the training of these days.

Unless they are really talented and intelligent, and they know everything they hear, the three concubines are just for them to see.

Rather than saying that Gu Zhen made a compromise with them, it is better to say that this was specially arranged by Gu Zhen for the related households.

The emperor was so careful with the empress and didn't bother to care about it, so he just let Yan Yin look at Xiuzhuo Palace. After all, there have been enough jokes in the royal family in the past two years, there is no need to add another Xiuzhuo Palace.

After arranging this matter, he remembered Yun Fenghuang's coquettish request to let the Xie family's Jiang family girl live in the Xuanqing Palace, pondered for a moment, and asked Yan Yin to tell the queen: "The number of new concubines, Give one to the noble concubine's relatives, Xie's and Jiang's are all fine. The picking daughters of these two families will also be assigned to the new concubine, so there is no need to go to Xuanqing Palace."

Since the noble concubine is not expected to be the empress dowager in the future, it is better not to have too large a faction in the Xuanqing Palace.

As for the fact that the newly promoted concubine is also the sister or niece of the noble concubine, she is fundamentally a noble concubine... Chunjia has not forgotten the internal strife among the Xie family's children earlier.

That is still a brother who is close to Yun Fenghuang, and they are not in the same heart.

What's more, now that the main branch of the Xie family is dying, all the Xie family members who came here are distant branches?

The Jiang family's blood is more intimate, but when Yun Fenghuang was at home, there were many sisters of the same clan, and he rarely saw cousins ​​and nieces.

All in all, those relatives who were closer in terms of blood relationship and the number of times they met each other were so angry with Yun Fenghuang, it is really hard to say whether the new concubine will have the same heart as the concubine.

Look at Concubine Mu and Empress as an example.

Of course, the concubine's means are not comparable to the queen's. Chunjia believes that as long as the concubine is willing, it is not difficult to subdue relatives, but...he is not trying to deal with the concubine.

Just hold it down a little bit, so as not to have to carry one side away between Xuanqing Palace and the new monarch in the future.

"Your Majesty, if the imperial concubine knows..." Yan Yin hesitated after hearing the words, and reminded implicitly.

The emperor pondered for a while, nodded and said: "Let the people in front of the queen speak up, and don't mention me."

Yes, although this is done for the benefit of the imperial concubine, the imperial concubine may not be willing to appreciate it.

Don't make the imperial concubine angry at that time, it's still me who is in trouble.

It's better to let the queen be the villain, anyway, the queen and the noble concubine also have a grudge, it's not bad...

In Lanzhou Yeyu Pavilion, Yun Fenghuang didn't know what the emperor did, but she didn't really arrange relatives in her palace at first.

The reason is simple, she still has some affection for these relatives.

The imperial concubine doesn't care about other people's favor, even at this moment when she is keeping her filial piety, she will actively recommend other concubines to sleep with the emperor. After all, in her eyes, those people can be affectionate with sisters and sisters today, but they can do whatever they want tomorrow Pit one and hit the road.

Even if it was Concubine De whom she had known since entering the palace, it didn't matter to her at all.

But the girls of the Xie family and the Jiang family are all related by blood...

Yun Fenghuang felt complicated.

She couldn't treat them as mere playthings, she pushed them to Chunjia if needed today, and got rid of them tomorrow if they got in the way.

The reason for doing this is actually to remind the emperor that something is wrong with the Jiang family.

Or try it out.

Yes, the queen doubted Chunjia, and so did Yunfenghuang.

She also suspected that the Jiang family was arranged by the emperor, but she felt that the emperor didn't need to be so obsessed with details now?

He didn't want this group of newcomers to be tampered with. He hoped that there would be more pure poor families who had nothing to do with them, and would directly explain to the queen. Would the queen dare to disobey him?

But if it is not the emperor, who is behind this Jiang family?

As for Jiang's own talent, Yun Fenghuang didn't believe it at all.

She herself is a representative of a good family from a poor family who shows off her talents, and in terms of her background, she is actually more than ten streets ahead of this Jiang family.

After all, although the Xie family doesn't have any big bosses who have become officials, they are still talkative people in Huizhou City. It was the kind of family that the governor of Huizhou would visit with a gift after he took office. Although no one knows about it outside of Huizhou, it can be said that it is a local snake in the frontier. And what she received was the teaching of the same level as the first son of the Xie family. From the fact that the non-eldest daughter-in-law of the Jiang family can preside over the back house, she knew that the Xie family was not the eldest son, so she would definitely be the suzerain. In other words, the teachings that Yun Fenghuang received were the best cultivation that the Xie family could provide.

Even so, since she entered the palace, she has often been troubled by her low background, and many times she either didn't think carefully, or her vision was too narrow, or she knew too little.

And after careful analysis, when Yun Fenghuang first entered the palace, the starting point was not the first daughter of the Xie family, but the adopted daughter of the Yun family!

If she had been chosen from Huizhou to be a daughter-in-law, then Xie's eyes would be darkened about the situation in the palace, and she could only hear hearsay. How dare she fight back against Yuan Niangniang so quickly after entering the palace? Yes, she did have a will to die at the time, because she felt that she was going to break the pot and fall in love, anyway, she was not angry anymore!

But she was not reconciled, why did she do nothing wrong and her good life went from bad to worse?

She is sure of tearing up Yuan Niangniang, even if she does not end well, Yuan Niangniang should not think about it. And this certainty comes from the fact that she has lived in the imperial capital for three years, and has followed the biological lady Yun Qingman of Yiguo Duke's mansion to go in and out of the circle of noble women, and she has a certain understanding of the former court and the harem. After entering the list of honorary appointments, the family of the aunt Xie's family helped inquire about inside information, and they entered the palace with a certain understanding of the palace, especially the situation of the lord Yuan Lianniang.

If it's really the kind of eyes that are smeared, how could Yun Fenghuang have such a smooth start, suppressing Ji Muzi's direct cousin Xue Xiaoge?

This Jiang family, as far as her background is concerned, when the emperor, empress and concubines were all in the palace of Qishan, as a poor family with no background, how did she know the queen's character and situation, and would follow her way?

If it was Yun Fenghuang who received this report, it would be impossible to compromise at all.

Yun Fenghuang will ask the steward to summon all the girls, beat the leader to death in public, and use the corpse and blood to tell these young girls what is meant by palace gates as deep as the sea, and what is called royal rules!

Just like Gu Zhen, who was in the back position, worried about gains and losses, and was beaten frequently in palace battles, so that he became more and more indecisive.

In addition, there may be a little careful thinking before compromising.

Based on this point, there is no one behind the Jiang family who knows the inside story of the palace to point out, Yun Fenghuang's name is written upside down!

At this moment, the imperial concubine asked Chen Jing: "We will go back soon, how are those people in Xiuzhuo Palace practicing their talents?"

"Back to your mother's words, according to the steward over there, they are all in good shape, but there are no special ones." Chen Jing gave a general description, because Xie's and Jiang's were considered the leaders of a poor family, there were two young ladies. It's very good, after all, he had a foundation at home, and he said that he was expected to compete for the places of the three concubines.

As for other girls with backgrounds, the same is true.

In contrast, although the girls who came from innocent backgrounds worked very hard, they were far behind.

but……

Chen Jing hesitated for a moment, then whispered, "The steward said that Jiang Cainu is very smart and quick-witted. Although she had never had any talent before, except for a little knowledge of characters, she was sent by the Jiaofang Division to teach her a little bit of training. Very qualified."

"This is interesting. Could it be that this trip to the flower and bird envoy has selected someone?" Yun Fenghuang smiled, but his eyes were a little cold, and he said calmly, "If this Jiang family makes a big effort to seal the concubine, he will be in front of the empress. , but I don’t know, how does the Empress feel?”

Seeing Chen Jing looking at him with some hesitation, he knew that he was not sure what he meant, so he simply said clearly, "The empress is certainly open-minded, but... the empress also dislikes any changes in the palace the least!"

"...Slave understands!" Chen Jing confirmed it, and quickly bowed to salute, and said in a low voice, "Slave will arrange it now!"

Yun Fenghuang nodded slightly, this Jiang family, she will get rid of it.

After all, she is young, beautiful and smart, and knows how to do things, even if someone guides her behind her back, this way of being a leader is just like her back then.

Who knows if Chunjia will be attracted to her as always?

She was too lazy to gamble on how sincere the emperor was to her.

One is that she can't lose this emperor's favor at all now; the other is that this kind of thing is purely uncomfortable for herself. Yun Fenghuang feels that since this year, she has felt too much sadness, and there is no need to add trouble to herself.

It would be better to kill Jiang shi directly while he is not yet full-fledged.

As for the aftermath, there is no reason to explain it to Chen Jing, so why don't you take the queen as the top of the vat?
