Chapter 377 I Understand!
Yun Fenghuang couldn't believe his ears when he heard the result of the emperor's disposition: "Is he just protecting that Jiang family like this?!"
Hong E and other servants looked at her worriedly, racking their brains to try to appease her: "Your Majesty, don't think too much, maybe... Maybe His Majesty has other arrangements to promote that Jiang family?"
"That's right, ma'am, think about Chao Jingyou back then, isn't that also someone His Majesty has beckoned to?" Qing people also persuaded, "But now His Majesty has paid attention to her?"
Yun Fenghuang sneered: "It was then, and now is now! What was your Majesty's situation back then? At that time, the Ji family was still there, and the regent was also there, and the civil and military courts were full of civil and military affairs. Standing on His Majesty's side? Now? Who dares to refute his majesty's promises in front of the harem?! What extraordinary people and things are there in the Sangong Sixth Court that deserves his care?! Look at me, he I just fell in love with that Jiang family!"
The Qing people were also worried about this, but at this moment, the Jiang family was obviously being protected by Chunjia himself, so there was nothing to do, so they had to bite the bullet and say: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, please calm down! Let this servant say something to punish you." Words: If His Majesty doesn't like Jiang, of course it is the best. But if His Majesty really has her in his heart, we must not mess up now! After all, His Royal Highness Prince Jin is still young, and we can't be like the previous four princes. If you haven't grown up yet, leave it to Your Majesty!"
Have you forgotten how Concubine An quickly fell out of favor?
Although Yun Fenghuang spared no effort to sow discord and deliberately attract Chunjia's attention, but the most important thing is that Concubine An's indiscriminate quarrel and hysteria pushed Chunjia further and further away!
We can't ignore the mistakes of the past, my lord!
... Fortunately, Yun Fenghuang is Yun Fenghuang, after a few words, he quickly calmed down, and said in a cold voice: "What you said is true. The matter has come to this point, no matter how dissatisfied I am, it will be useless .Although I don’t know exactly how and why His Majesty fell in love with her... But now is not the time to make a fuss.”
"Your Majesty, the servant girl is thinking, maybe your majesty's move is not necessarily to dote on that Jiang family?" At this time Chi E came over to propose an idea, and said in a low voice, "maybe your majesty actually wants to beat the empress empress? It just looks like It's like helping Jiang's success. It's been a long time since His Majesty came back, and he hasn't summoned Jiang once. He is busy with government affairs. The maid always feels that His Majesty has never even seen Jiang's face, so how could it be possible? Falling in love with Jiang Shi?"
This reminded Qingren and the others, Qingren couldn't help but clapped his hands, and shouted: "Your Majesty, Chi'e is right! Don't we all misunderstand Your Majesty?"
"..." Yun Fenghuang was silent for a while, his face softened, and he said, "This palace is negligent. Indeed, His Majesty has never been to Xiuzhuo Palace in person these days, and he has never summoned Mrs. Jiang. Looking at it this way Come on, this Jiang family may not have caught His Majesty's eyes, but it may have been hit by mistake... Forget it, don't spread this matter to the outside world, there is no shame in it."
The attendants quickly agreed, but in fact the imperial concubine wouldn't go out and talk about it if she didn't tell them. It is true that this is not something to be ashamed of after all.
Then Yun Fenghuang took the initiative to change the topic, and dismissed them after a few palace affairs, but the gloomy look on his brows did not decrease at all.
After everyone dispersed and she was the only one in the inner hall, she slammed the case and said angrily: "This Jiang family may not be in your heart, but it may not be because you want outsiders to think so!"
Yes, Chi E's words, in the eyes of the Qing people, are proof that Chunjia has no empathy.
But from Yun Fenghuang's point of view, Jiang's complete victory this time, is it the emperor who wants to beat the queen, or her noble concubine?
Before Empress Gu Zhen entered the central palace, she had no dignity in the palace.
Anyway, she has never won a Gongdou.
The only victory is to be the queen in a daze.
Even after ascending to the throne, this successor didn't have many moments of glory. The imperial concubine Anfei could show her face anytime and anywhere, until now.
The other high-ranking concubines only spoke politely to her, but in fact, when Gu Zhen took care of the palace affairs, he had to consider the views and ideas of all the high-ranking concubines...
In short, for Gu Zhen, there is not much difference between one more favorite concubine and one less favorite concubine in the palace.
Anyway, everyone knows that the queen is not to be favored.
But to Yun Fenghuang, having another favorite concubine in the palace would have a different meaning.
Even though Chunjia's current attitude towards her has not changed, the difference between the only favorite concubine and one of the favorite concubines is self-evident!
Yun Fenghuang suspected that the emperor might not have really taken a fancy to the Jiang family.
Because according to Chunjia's current power, although it is against the rules, no one would let the emperor down for such a trivial matter if he called Mrs. Jiang to serve him for a while.
But he sent Yan Yin to run for Jiang.
It was hard not to let Yun Fenghuang wonder, could it be that the emperor didn't have another favorite concubine in his heart, but in order to prepare for a rainy day, he wanted to create a favorite concubine in the harem?
Yun Fenghuang's biggest bargaining chip now is the enduring grace.
With her methods, relying on this point, and past achievements, even if the emperor is still determined to establish a son-in-law, she still has the confidence to stir up the ruling and opposition parties, and seek the possibility of being a hero.
But if she is just one of the favorite concubines, not the only concubine who is deeply favored, those courtiers are not stupid!
Even if no one pays attention to her, many people will choose to wait and see!
And if this is the case, the number of people who support King Jin will decrease, King Jin's momentum will be insufficient, and more people will wait and see... There is no doubt that it will inevitably fall into a vicious circle, and thus completely lose the possibility of competing with the son-in-law.
"Today is today!" Yun Fenghuang thought with anger, hatred and helplessness, "As expected of the Lord of Zhongxing who solved Ji's family and the regent... If you want to deal with me, isn't that just an understatement? He neither quarreled with Bengong, nor pointed fingers at him. Just like this, finding a good son from a poor family and acting as a gesture of doting on his new love ruined most of the future of Bengong's mother and child... I used to think that Uncle Zhaowu was ruthless, but now I see it. Come on, His Majesty just made Yan Yin run away twice, and the result he got by such a big fight has already been resolved."
What made her most angry was that she thought of many ways to resolve it, but found that there was nothing she could do.
After all, it is so convenient for the emperor to make a gesture of doting on a concubine!
In addition, the queen and Gu are not fools. Even if the queen is in the deep palace, it will be seen that Chunjia has no sincerity towards Jiang in the future, but as long as Chunjia shows a gesture, the queen and Gu can promote him. 10%!
It even proclaimed that Concubine Cheng fell out of favor and that Jiang was the emperor's new true love!
At that time, no matter whether it is Yunfenghuang, Xie Wuzheng, Xie Xiaoyu and others, if they want to revive their family reputation, win over the team for King Jin, or compete with the first prince... they can only think about it.
Thinking of this possibility, Yun Fenghuang shuddered.
"Chen Jing, I remember seeing a civet cat in the residence of the Empress Dowager during the summer vacation?" She thought about it for a long time, and finally called Chen Jing to her, "Since there is such a thing in the palace, you should think of a way Forget it. That Jiang Cainu, at such a young age, is hard to fall into His Majesty's eyes... What will I do if I don't follow in the footsteps of Concubine Wen Huixian? Wouldn't it make Your Majesty lose a beautiful woman? Such a thing is probably the case. When you're old, you can't see or hear."
Chen Jing understood: "With your kindness, Jiang Cainu will be able to live for a long time, and she won't have to bear the pain of Concubine Wen Huixian."
Jiang Cainu must not be able to avoid the concealment of the three corpses.
If you have no children in your life, of course it is impossible to die in childbirth.
It's just that, it's not safe enough, because maybe Chunjia doesn't care whether Jiang can have children, he just creates a favored concubine, and doesn't give Yun Fenghuang a chance to grow up.
But Yun Fenghuang has nothing to do now, and his heart is also in confusion, so he can only make arrangements like this first.
In the next few days, there were more and more turmoil in Xiuzhuo Palace.
Either this one suddenly developed a rash, or the one who ate poorly and became hoarse, and the embroidery needle hidden in the quilt was pricked firmly when he lay down at night, and when he got up in the morning and put on his shoes, there were insects hidden in the shoes... ...In short, for the sake of the three concubines, it can be said that Zhu Cainu turned against each other.
Even the real poor family and good family who were gathered together under Jiang Cainu's instigation before have completely become a mess.
Because when Xie Runan's daughter-in-law of the Jiang family criticized Xie Runan, she didn't know who was inspired, and said that Jiang Cainu had bad intentions: "She used us to get a lot of limelight. This time, the three concubines can't be said. She has a share! But what about us people? The miserable experiences she said at the beginning will all fall on our heads firmly. But she herself, using us as a shield, is happy to be a mother!"
Jiang Cainu explained it several times, but she couldn't deny that she did get the attention of her superiors in this farce.
And this kind of attention is probably a good thing.
After all, she gained the "favor" of Concubine Min Gui for nothing.
It's just that Jiang Cainu didn't feel that she had taken advantage of it, because if she hadn't acted decisively and made things worse, Cainu, who had no one to rely on, would still be lingering in front of a backer.
Even if he was trampled to death, it was just a perfunctory report of "death of illness" by the steward. Neither the perpetrator nor the bystanders had to pay any price... Why? !
At that time, she didn't have complete confidence in her heart. If the queen turned out to be cruel, she might be treated as a thorn in the side.
Isn't it a matter of course that she has taken such a big risk and now she has gained something?
How come there are no benefits for other good families from poor families?
At least they haven't been bullied on the surface these days, have they?
Jiang Cainu disliked these companions very much, thinking that they were quite disgusting.
But she is a smart person, and she knows that at this time, she can't turn against everyone, otherwise the stewards and daughter-in-laws who are punished because of her will all join forces to attack.
In this way, even if the quota is given by the superior, she may not survive the feast to start.
Therefore, they used some tricks, showing weakness and pretending to be pitiful, saying that they hadn't thought of it, and it wasn't intentional. It was just for survival; She gave priority to taking care of each other, and so on; she also quietly showed her goodwill to Xie Runan, implying that both of them are under the imperial concubine's command, they are their own people, and they are in similar situations, so they should become half sisters...
This struggle process, of course, cannot be hidden from Yun Fenghuang's eyes and ears.
