Three Hundred and Seventieth Chapters Lottery Results
If Chunjia arranged for Jiang Cainu only for political purposes, then Yun Fenghuang would not care.
She has been in the palace for several years, since she can be favored by Chunjia, how can she not know his character?
The emperor's vigilance against empresses and concubines from a wealthy family did not last for a day or two.
It's no wonder he, after all, has the lessons learned from Xiaozong's past.
He took the position by tearing up the Ji family again.
It is impossible for you to convince him that noble ladies are all gentle and harmless beauties.
Even Yun Fenghuang herself was able to gain the emperor's favor and reliance because of her low birth, and the emperor was not very wary of her from the beginning.
Empress Xiang Yuan, in terms of temperament, she should actually be appreciated and even loved by Chunjia, but because she is the daughter of the Ji family, Chunjia never had any affection for her from the beginning.
From Da Xu's group to Jiang Cainu, these are the emperor's precautionary measures so that he will not give too much room for the high family when he establishes a reserve in the future.
Yun Fenghuang can understand.
What she was worried about was that Jiang Cainu was just in line with Chunjia's liking according to the description.
Even if it was carefully selected by the subordinates to enter the palace to disrupt the situation, and serve the holy driver in the future, who knows if it will serve the emperor's heart?
It was hard not to let the imperial concubine think of the jealousy and hatred she saw from Yuan Niangniang's eyes when she first entered the palace, towards herself who was in her youth at that time.
With her current appearance, she thinks that she won't let this Jiang Shi go, but a woman's best years are already counting down.
The Jiang family is getting better and better.
"Brother Twenty-one said before that he planned to do something to the queen's staff, but he didn't know if it would be successful?" Yun Fenghuang asked Qingren after concentrating for a moment.
The Qing people said in a low voice: "Among the daughter-in-laws arranged by the empress this time, there are some who are concubines. It's just...the empress is from a high family. Whether Gu has discovered it or not, she pretends not to know, but she also doesn't know."
"It's nothing." Yun Fenghuang said coldly, "As long as they are willing to pretend to be confused, when the time comes and the evidence is solid, they are theirs anyway!"
He let out a breath, "If Chen Jing went there in person, I still can't help Mrs. Jiang. I'll teach the son-in-law to be vicious when I turn around."
It is a hidden danger that must be eradicated non-stop.
Instead of complaining and feeling sorry for yourself when you are powerless... At that time, no matter how hard you try, it is often a dying struggle.
This is the most profound lesson Yun Fenghuang learned after watching Chunjia deal with people like the Ji family and the regent.
Because you don't know when you will be paralyzed and careless, the offensive and defensive momentum will be reversed.
After a long while, Chen Jing came back with a gray face, and before he could speak, Yun Fenghuang's heart sank, and he immediately asked, "Where did you refuse?"
"It's the servant girl's ineffectiveness, please blame me..." Chen Jing knelt down with her robe lifted, before she could finish speaking, she was stopped by the imperial concubine: "Let's talk about things first!"
Chen Jing said "yes", and then smiled wryly: "What the empress said...the manager made a good promise with our people before, saying that the Jiang family is rebellious, and if it wasn't for the kindness of the empress, she should have been given a ride. Yes. But there was no difficulty at all. After a little refusal for the reward from the empress, I accepted it with great gratitude. But just now, the slave girl went there in person, and the manager refused to show up because she pushed back. Later, the slave girl couldn't stand it Urging, finally figured it out, but...but as soon as they met, they softened the silver note that the empress had previously rewarded, and returned it with two thousand taels of silver. The reason is that the empress ordered him to be helpless, so I beg the empress to show favor and don’t bother with him!"
In fact, Chen Jing went there in person and knew there was a problem without seeing Xiu Zhuo Gong's steward immediately.
After all, when he was in contact with Xiuzhuo Palace earlier, he sent the rough envoys to run errands. Even so, the manager of Xiuzhuo Palace was also extremely attentive.
As a result, now that the chief executive of Xuanqing Palace is here in person, the other party actually avoids seeing him. What good thing can this be?
But Chen Jing went there on the spot at the imperial concubine's order, so he couldn't just be sent back like this, the forced face-to-face is the result, he must figure it out, "The servant asked repeatedly, but the steward couldn't bear the pressure, so he revealed a little bit. Said that he actually didn't want to see that Jiang family proud, but these days, many people sent messages to protect this Jiang family! Among them were people he could not disobey, so he had to let that Jiang family go. Not to mention, even, to ensure that the other party at least leaves Xiuzhuo Palace, his wife will be peaceful!"
"As for who sent the message, the steward knelt on the ground and kowtowed desperately, begging the servant not to ask any more questions."
"The way is to ask again and dare not say, if it is impossible, I would rather die on the spot in front of my servants!"
Although Chen Jing wasn't afraid of the steward, she couldn't let him really die in front of her.
After all, the imperial concubine had just told the Xuanqing Palace to change their minds and be a good person, at least on the stage, and he turned around and forced the manager of Xiuzhuo Palace to death. Huang confessed?
Therefore, I can only return to my life.
"..." Yun Fenghuang's face sank after hearing that, and after a while, he said, "Since that's the case, let's leave it as it is!"
After a pause, she said slowly, "The Mid-Autumn Festival feast is only a few days away, let's see the result."
If Chunjia is standing behind this Jiang family, then she must have a place among the three concubines.
After all, if the emperor wants to use this poor family girl to disturb the Six Palaces, his position is too low, and if there is a slight disturbance, he will be suppressed by the high position, what's the fuss?
Of course, apart from the emperor, the empress, and all those who are hostile to Yunfenghuang, they are all suspicious. I hope this Jiang family can win Yunfenghuang's favor.
It's just that the steward of Xiuzhuo Palace would rather die than reveal it, who else but Chunjia?
Except for the emperor's seal order, why can't Yun Fenghuang carry it for him, even if it is the order of the loving mother, the empress dowager?
For a while, Yun Fenghuang had mixed feelings in her heart. Intellectually, she felt that even if the Jiang family was arranged by Chunjia, she might not be able to threaten her, and she might even be the emperor's love, because she has been too popular these years, since she wants to go gentle and virtuous The character was set up, but in fact, it is very necessary for someone to come out, with a more flamboyant and legendary attitude, to dilute the impression left by her previous actions.
Emotionally, it was hard for her not to be a little apprehensive.
This not only comes from the worse situation she will face if she falls out of favor, but also from Jiang's pressure that she is many years younger than her.
And distrust of Chunjia.
Counting the time, she has been favored for several years. When Yuan Niang came to the Imperial Capital with Chunjia at the age of fifteen, it took about eight years for her to fall out of favor.
And this year is the fourteenth year of Chunjia.
It has been seven years since she entered the palace.
At that time, almost a year or so after entering the palace, Yuan Niangniang was completely abandoned by the emperor.
If Mrs. Jiang repeats what she said back then, next year...wouldn't it be the eighth year of the imperial concubine's face?
Yun Fenghuang used to act recklessly when he was young, and he didn't believe in things like retribution.
But right now, she was somewhat uncertain.
After all, she used to bet on herself and her children at most, but now, she still bears the blood debt of Xie's family.
She can't afford to lose.
The noble concubine closed her eyes suddenly, and quickly thought about the countermeasures.
Not only the imperial concubine was nervous, but because of Jiang's special case, the entire harem was paying attention to the Mid-Autumn Festival banquet at the moment.
After all, the last newcomer who stood out like this was Yun Fenghuang, Concubine Min.
Everyone is very curious, what kind of future will this Jiang family have after the feast?
It's just that before the festival banquet, the matter of Fuyang County has brought the results first.
Empress Dowager Yuan lost the lottery and will leave Fuyang County soon!
"This is really surprising." The queen frowned and said, "I thought...the one who drew this lot would be the Queen Mother."
Although Lord Yi proposed to draw lots at the beginning, it meant to leave everything to God's will, so it is reasonable for Queen Mother Yuan to turn.
But everyone knows that Chunjia is openly partial to the empress dowager among the two empress dowagers.
The envoy sent was Yunxike, a son of the Yun family who knew the mind of the emperor, so many people thought that this was just a step for the emperor to decently drive away the empress dowager and once again favor the empress dowager.
Who knew that Yunxi Ke would drive the Queen Mother away like this?
Even if the empress dowager Yuan was arranged to live in an urgently repaired royal palace, the conditions were not bad, and it was even located in a more prosperous county than Fuyang County, but this move was enough to embarrass this loving empress dowager.
"Duke Yi has always been a bit inflexible." The waiter of Yanfu Palace guessed, "The nephew of his family is probably of the same temperament, and it is really a pure lottery."
Gu Zhen didn't believe it, and said lightly: "Duke Yi's inflexibility is because he was the first important minister to support His Majesty. His status, his qualifications, and his relationship with His Majesty no longer need to be tricked. Moreover, he left It was originally the way of a direct minister. If you have to say anything, it will not be smooth or roundabout, so that it will be more appreciated by His Majesty. Besides, although the Yunxi guest is the nephew of the Duke of Yi, his father and brother are all deep people in the city. Explain Hui's nature-you don't know yet? Your Majesty chose Yunxi Ke to be Ming Hui's son-in-law, how could this Yunxi Ke not have some scheming? Otherwise, how could he resist Ming Hui's behavior?"
"I feel that Yunxi Ke's actions may not be His Majesty's original intention!"
"After all, what Yuan Shi did before, although His Majesty honored the empress dowager mother, it was for the reputation of the Tian family, and there was no rumor, but how can you have no thoughts about Yuan Shi in your heart?"
"Even if the rest of the Yuan family are dealt with, considering the old relationship, Yuan Ke's lineage and the loving mother empress dowager are left behind... The Yuan family didn't have any outstanding talents in the first place, it was all thanks to the loving mother empress dowager. The loving mother, the Empress Dowager, is here, and she went back to Fuyang County, she seemed to feel guilty and voluntarily backed down, but who knew, it wasn't for Yuan Ke, she went back to rectify Fuyang County?"
"To prevent accidents, it's better to keep the empress dowager away from Fuyang County!"
The queen sighed, and said, "Your Majesty, you are still as cruel as ever! It's fine if he doesn't feel sorry for the people in this palace, but for the loving mother empress dowager... well, the loving mother empress dowager doesn't know how she feels now?"
According to Queen Mother Yuan's attitude towards her before, in fact, Gu Zhen didn't really feel sorry for Queen Mother Yuan.
The main reason is that she herself and Queen Mother Yuan have the same sympathy, that is, they have nothing to do with their knees, and the children are all adopted.
Chunjia can treat Queen Mother Yuan like this today, will the tenth and twelve princes treat her like this in the future?
She is very tangled.
Originally, Mrs. Gu suggested that she support the Twelfth Prince and let the Tenth Prince block the gun. The reason was that although the Twelfth Prince was not her own, at least she had Gu's blood and was naturally close. The key is that Gu Liman is gone! Moreover, the inside story of the death is still unclear. Who knows if this will cause mother and child to turn against each other in the future?
Even if they don't turn against each other, the Twelfth Prince has doubts in his heart, and if he can't say it, he will separate from Gu Zhen.
Gu Zhen had a headache.
But there is no good countermeasure, so I can only let the servants: "Tell the family to make arrangements... In the future, the tenth prince and the twelfth prince will definitely not choose the main concubine from the Gu family, but it may not be impossible for the side concubine. This will The nieces in my family, it's time to teach them well!"
