Dipping Liu hurriedly said: "What you said, you are for the good of Your Majesty, how can you say that your intentions are sinister, the real concubine is young, this young man is not stable enough after all, you are also for her good"

"Sure enough, what are you talking about?" Empress Dowager Yuan smiled dumbly and said, "When the mourning family was the princess, we didn't think so. ”

She was a little distracted, "At that time, Concubine Zhuang was involved everywhere, and the mourning family was angry, hated and afraid of her, thinking that if she became a mother-in-law one day, she must not be like her, but she didn't expect that the real concubine would be loved by the emperor at this time, and the first thing the mourning family thought about was how to balance her in the future." ”

Dipping the willow and considering the wording: "Niangniang, it's not that the maid is biased towards you, but the real concubine Niangniang is different from you at that time." At that time, you really wanted to live with the prince and Hemeimei for the rest of your life, but"

King Duanyang of Fuyang did not have the blessing of growing old with his wife, and when he died, he was not a few years older than Chunjia now.

"The real concubine Niangniang is young and vigorous, and she had a childhood sweetheart fiancé before entering the palace, and she didn't want to come to the palace to serve Your Majesty earlier." Dipping willow sighed, "Even if this lady has a sensible mother, after a trip, the real concubine Niangniang is a lot more sensible, but the maid knows, and the maid also knows that the real concubine Niangniang has not thought about His Majesty wholeheartedly until now." ”

So as Chunjia's adoptive mother, how can Empress Dowager Yuan not guard against a little cloud and wind

And now there are few high-ranking concubines in the palace, and even fewer can be used.

Moreover, the Empress Dowager Yuan watched Yuan Melia grow up, she was sincere in raising her at the beginning, and now she hopes that she will cheer up and balance Yun Fenghuan, but Yuan Melia Niang is still as uncooperative as ever.

The Queen Mother couldn't help but be happy: "At that time, Concubine Zhuang persuaded her with a kind-hearted aunt, saying that her children and grandchildren have their own children and grandchildren, so that she should not be too confined to the mourning family, but Concubine Zhuang also said that the mourning family and the prince are young, she doesn't help to look at it, in case the young man is not proportionate and makes a mistake, what good will it do to the palace in the end, she is the prince's mother, can she still harm her children and grandchildren?"

At that time, Empress Dowager Yuan felt that Concubine Zhuang was all an excuse, but it was just a love for power, and against her daughter-in-law.

Now that she is in the position of the former mother-in-law, she knows that Concubine Zhuang may really look at her daughter-in-law unpleasantly, but she is afraid that she is not at ease.

The line of King Fuyang has not prospered since the founding of the country, and for several generations, there is not even an uncle who can help talk.

Concubine Zhuang was a widow and a young man, single-handedly pulled out the frail and sickly King Duan, and chose the daughter of the Fuyang Yuan family as his wife, I am afraid that she also thought that the Fuyang Yuan family had many heirs, and she could get a touch of the light of the Yuan family and make the Fuyang palace more lively.

As a result, Empress Dowager Yuan has not come out after passing the door, but the concubine Qu Shi, who occasionally served King Duanwang of Fuyang several times, became pregnant

Therefore, although Concubine Zhuang once had murderous intent towards Empress Dowager Yuan, Empress Dowager Yuan never said anything bad about Concubine Yuan in front of Chunjia, nor did she instigate Chunjia to stay away from her grandmother.

She could understand what the mother-in-law was doing.

After all, she later treated her niece, although she was much gentler in her means, and the nature was the same.

gave birth to a son-in-law, that is a relieved family; If you can't give birth, I'm sorry, give way immediately, don't delay the inheritance of my descendants

So Chunjia unexpectedly ascended the throne and was no longer under the pressure of no heirs.

From that moment on, Empress Dowager Yuan really wanted to teach her niece, but unfortunately Yuan Neem's heart was already determined, and gentle persuasion couldn't change her at all With Ji watching from the side, she couldn't be ruthless.

has dragged on until now, although Empress Dowager Yuan is disappointed, she has to admit that this nephew is afraid that she will be wasted.

"Let's see." The Queen Mother thought about it for a long time, and finally said, "Neem Niang is still angry these days, and the child has not been born yet, when the child falls to the ground, maybe she will change her mind." And the real concubine is a smart person, even if she is a little careful, she should know that without the support of the emperor and the mourning family, she cannot be the queen's opponent at all. ”

Therefore, even if you don't worry about Yunfeng Huang, there is still time.

When the master and servant of the Fangyin Pavilion were discussing, in the Lanzhou Night Rain Pavilion, in the flower hall where the field was cleared, Yun Fenghuang was also discussing with the Qing people of the Qing capital: "Your Majesty does this, thinking about the benefits, it is to hope that the palace will cherish its reputation, and in the future, it will not show the cruel means at a glance, so that it will follow in the footsteps of Yuan Neem Niang."

"At worst, since Your Majesty stays on this matter

I feel that when I get tired of this palace in the future, I am afraid that it will be a handle to turn over old accounts. ”

Qingdu frowned and said: "But the matter has already been done, and this time, Jin Fengyi will not die, and the trouble will be even greater." ”

"If you don't put those palace people who know," Qingren muttered, "There is no evidence to turn around, Your Majesty wants face, and it is not good to make a fuss about this matter." ”

Yun Fenghuang said: "There is no excuse for the crime you want to add, as Qingdu said, this thing has been done, and there is nothing to say about the aftermath, but you can do it carefully, but you don't need to be tied up from now on." ”

She thought for a moment and said, "This palace plans to make a suggestion to the queen mother. ”

After "promotion" for a long time, Queen Ji looked at Yun Fenghuan who was drinking tea leisurely below, "This matter is what Your Majesty meant."

"Your Majesty is busy with government affairs, how can I disturb the affairs of the harem" Yun Fenghuang put down the tea bowl and smiled, "It's the concubine who wants to share the queen's worries, so she came to offer advice before, but I don't know what the mother thinks."

Empress Ji didn't speak for a while.

After a while, he said: "Since it is to pray for the blessing of the phoenix body of the Empress Dowager, of course the palace has no opinion. ”

This is impossible Yun Fenghuang proposed to promote all the concubines in the palace except herself, thinking that Empress Dowager Yuan prayed for blessings, of course, according to her words, she is young, she is shallow, she is not sensible, she just said so, whether she really does it, it still depends on the queen's meaning

But these words are said openly, if Queen Ji refuses, she doesn't take Empress Dowager Yuan's phoenix health to heart, and it is unfilial piety to say that it is serious; The next will inevitably incur the wrath of a large number of concubines.

This is an unbearable consequence for the queen, who is already in a deteriorating situation

Of course, the queen can agree, as she is doing now.

But this is to drink water to quench thirst.

Originally, Yun Fenghuang "gave her a hand" under the banner of the Empress Dowager Emperor, which already attracted people's attention, so that everyone in the palace knew that the queen's days on the phoenix throne were about to enter the countdown.

Not long ago, Yun Fenghuang was promoted to the title of true concubine, which greatly reduced the influence of the Ji family in the palace.

Now even the promotion of concubines can interfere in such a matter, and there are a few people who are willing to stand on the queen's side

In the past, although there were not many people in this palace who worked together with the queen, the Ji family was strong enough at that time, and the queen did not need their loyalty and support, and her status was as stable as a mountain.

But now it's different

Empress Ji thought in her heart and said, "It's just that the matter is big, so I should tell the Empress Dowager and them and reward them again." ”

Yun Fenghuang was very satisfied with her compromise, and pursed his lips and smiled: "It's good that these queens are in charge, the concubines are young and ignorant, and they all listen to you." ”

The implication is that if something goes wrong, don't look for this palace, it's all your own fault.

Her determined attitude reminded the queen that when she first entered the palace, she was also fearless.

However, the queen didn't have much resentment in her heart, only looked at her deeply, and said, "You go, this palace will do this." ”

But the queen said this, and there was no movement for two days, and on the third day, Yun Fenghuang went to Bao Se Xiaozhu to ask, and was told that Queen Ji was sick.

The reason is to pray for the sick body of the Empress Dowager, who has not slept at night these days, and has been kneeling to copy the scriptures, but Yun Fenghuang put forward a suggestion for all the concubines to be promoted, and added something to the queen plainly.

"My mother-in-law said that the real concubine will do it next." The palace maid of Bao Se Xiaozhu calmly told Yun Fenghuan, "If the real concubine can't do it, then either the real concubine can't recommend the next candidate, in short, my mother can't even get up now, she is really powerless." ”

Yun Fenghuang pondered for a while before raising his head and smiling: "Okay, this palace was ordered to share the queen's worries, isn't this what comes in handy at this time?"

She went out of Baose Xiaozhu and immediately went to Fangyin Hall to ask for peace, saying that it was all her own fault, which caused the queen to fall ill.

Empress Dowager Yuan asked about it, of course she didn't blame her, after all, everyone knew that even if Empress Ji really didn't sleep at night to copy the scriptures and pray for Empress Dowager Yuan, Empress Dowager Yuan would not appreciate it, so she only said a few words lightly, "Ling Zi, this child is also a solid eye", "It's good that the mourning family has a doctor to watch this disease, why should she be so self-suffering", "How is the queen okay now", and ordered Dip Willow to go to Baose Xiaozhu to show concern.

Let Yun Fenghuan get busy: "Since you proposed it, and now the queen is sick again, let you do it, you can do it well, don't disappoint the queen." ”

What she said was not to disappoint the queen, but Yun Fenghuang knew in her heart that the queen mother meant not to disappoint her with the emperor.

Yun Fenghuang, the real concubine, has a lot of fame in the former and harem, but it is probably in the wrist, promotion, and competition for favor, this kind of serious management of palace affairs, rewarding the palace, she doesn't talk about experience, she doesn't understand it at all.

But Empress Dowager Yuan didn't mean to help her at all.

Yun Fenghuang understands that this is the situation that the Queen Mother wants to weigh her own quality, whether she has the ability to support the six palaces

Before, she clearly expressed her ambitions, wanted a position, wanted power, and fought for anything, except that she was unwilling to be subordinate to others in her bones, in fact, she knew that whether it was Empress Dowager Yuan or Chunjia, it was impossible for Empress Ji to occupy the back position.

Yuan Neem Niang naively thought that as long as the mother and son could decide who the queen was, it must be her, but Yun Fenghuan understood that this was impossible.

This is not about what Yuan Neem Niang has done over the years that annoyed the Empress Dowager Yuan, but because this Yue Jieyu has no ability to hold the phoenix seal at all.

Chunjia seems to be gentle, but in fact he is ambitious, judging from his patience with Yun Fenghuang at the beginning, he was worried about turning his face with the regent at the beginning of the pro-government, and it is obvious that the plan is very big.

This kind of person was forced to marry a queen who was not the same as him.

When he can be the master of the house, how can he ask for a middle palace that can't be supported

Yuan Neem Niang is just a concubine, and for Chunjia, at most, she is emotionally troubled, and it is not easy to cause great trouble; But if she becomes a queen, then Chunjia can't be so confused.

But what Yuan Melia can't do, Yun Fenghuang thinks he can.

She clearly hinted to Chunjia, giving her position and power, and she would replace Empress Ji in charge of the Sixth Palace and stabilize the rear for Chunjia.

Chunjia saw it and was willing to use her, but at first she was unwilling to let her get her wish completely According to Chunjia's assumption, it was to give her favor, reward her, and connive at her, but suppress the position, and it was impossible to give her a successor.

In this way, Yun Fenghuan must be attached to the emperor in order to maintain his status and power in the palace.

So even if she didn't really love Chunjia, it was impossible for her to betray him, and she didn't dare not try her best or dare not be found out by Chunjia that she didn't do her best.

This kind of calculation was commonplace in the previous dynasties, for example, it was common for the Imperial Historical Observatory to supervise hundreds of officials and impeach the prime minister, but the grade was only six or seven. The weight is low, the position is high, the power is light, the emperor has not given the ministers any chance to oppose him so far, how can such a non-obscure superior know-how

But Yun Fenghuang was still promoted to the concubine position.

The reasons for this are more complicated, the emperor's pity, her performance when she fell off the cliff and was assassinated, her humble background, the importance of the Dingbei Army to the regent, and even the memories caused by her young beauty and similar experiences with the emperor should all be shared.

However, in a place like the palace, pure warmth is always short-lived.

Looking at Empress Dowager Yuan's smiling eyes, Yun Fenghuang lowered her head and pursed her lips and smiled: "Don't worry, Niangniang"

Since her position is higher than expected by the Queen Mother's mother and son, then, when she does things next, she must be more beautiful than they expected.

In this way, there will be no future troubles.

To use a metaphor that is perhaps not so appropriate: when I went to buy something, I originally planned to pay only five taels of silver, but in the end I ended up with ten taels in a daze.

This thing is still in front of me from time to time.

Then the person who bought it inevitably kept remembering the extra five taels of silver, and after a long time, it would become a mustard.

But if you buy it and find that there is something else to be worth, what will the person who bought it think?

I will feel that I am really lucky, and even discerning the pearls, and it is really worth spending ten taels of silver

Cloud Wind Fence is this thing now.

She has to let the queen mother, let the emperor, feel that her value is worthy of a concubine.

Even, you can give more.

From the real concubine to the back position, there are only two levels.

But if one is not good, you may not be able to go through it in this life.

Out of the Fangyin Pavilion, Yun Fenghuan calmed down before entering Zhuxue Garden.
