Chapter Thirteen Yangmou
Yun Fenghuang heard this, but acted as if he hadn't heard it, and walked away without even tripping.
Back in the Huanhua Palace, Xi Le took off the black cloak for her and comforted her in a low voice: "It's just that the servant girl said that the matter was urgent, and the son probably thought something was wrong, so there was no time to arrange for Mr. Qi to come with him."
"It's okay." Yun Fenghuang waved his hand and said, "I didn't plan to tell him about this matter today, it would be best if he didn't come."
Having said that, her expression was somewhat gloomy, and Xi Le noticed that her movements became a little softer: "Your Majesty has been wronged."
Yun Fenghuang sighed and didn't answer.
However, under the slightly drooping long eyelashes, the eyes were calm and devoid of emotion.
She deliberately didn't mention Qi Jiulu this time, just to see if Gong Xiangxiao would bring anyone?
And Gong Xiangxiao's actions were also within her expectations: the cooperation between the two was not harmonious enough at the beginning, and no matter how nicely Xiao Fanghu said that night, Yun Fenghuang couldn't change the fact that she was actually being coerced.
It was okay before, but now she made an exception to become a concubine, what would Gong Xiangxiao think?
Maybe there is the strength of the happy allies, but it will definitely not be pure joy.
After all, Yun Fenghuang himself knew that he was not a reassuring ally. He sold the Yun family first and then Chunjia. It was done on the girl's seat.
If Gong Xiangxiao still believed in her, thinking that her becoming a Jieyu would be beneficial and harmless to his son, he would be really stupid.
If Yun Fenghuang's guess is right, Gong Xiangxiao came here alone tonight, probably because he wanted to avoid Qi Jiulu and have a good talk with him about the follow-up cooperation. The city secretary was manned, and Yun Fenghuang had just entered the palace with a low position and low qualifications. The so-called cooperation basically meant that Gong Xiangxiao unilaterally provided Yunfenghuang with manpower and information, and even helped her meet a foreigner in private.
On the other hand, Yun Fenghuang offered little real help to Gong Xiangxiao except to talk about the situation and opinions.
To sum up, from the time the two first met in Xiaofanghu, Gong Xiangxiao bet on her unilaterally, and the only feedback she gave was probably for Gong Xiangxiao to discover and accept Qi Jiulu's arm... probably.
But from time to time, now that she has been promoted to the concubine position and is in charge of the first palace, judging from the emperor's attitude towards her, even if Jieyu stops, she will be a mountain in the palace in a short time, which will affect all parties.
However, Gong Xiangxiao has not improved significantly during this period of time. He is still the one who has a strange relationship with the regent, is full of guard against his stepmother and half-brother but has no choice but to bear the noble name of the emperor's companion but has little power. The convenience of communicating with the harem depends on the support of her family... According to the tacit understanding between the two, it is time for Yun Fenghuang to fulfill his promise and help Gong Xiangxiao seize power.
So how could he bring Qi Jiulu here?
Although this person is Gongxiangxiao's number one think tank today, he is even Yunfenghuang's servant. If he comes, he might be helping Gongxiangxiao negotiate terms with Yunfenghuang, or helping Yunfeng Is it a blessing for Huang to persuade Lord Gong Xiangxiao to suffer a lot?
Another important reason is that Gong Xiangxiao thinks highly of Qi Jiulu, and from his predecessors saying "Brother Xinyun", it can be seen that he sincerely wants to win over the eldest son of the Northland clan.
Then it is even more impossible to bargain with Yun Fenghuang in front of him.
After all, Gong Xiangxiao and Yun Fenghuang didn't have a good talk, and they quarreled with each other in the middle of the night, and at worst, they went away, and another day to discuss, Zuo Xile was waiting in front of Yun Fenghuang. If Qi Jiulu is present and blindly defends Yun Fenghuang, will Gong Xiangxiao agree or not?
If he agreed, he finally had the opportunity to invest in a rookie in the palace, and he gave up when he was about to reap a good harvest? ? ?
How embarrassing this is!
If you don't agree, what if there is a rift between Qi Jiulu and Qi Jiulu?
Therefore, the best way is not to let Qi Jiulu play at all.
It's just that Gong Xiangxiao didn't expect that Yun Fenghuang knew his thoughts like the palm of his hand, so this prince used "Brother Xinyun told this prince a long time ago" to imply that she should not come here, and he hasn't started to get to the point. As for the reward, he revealed the truth about his entry into the palace and asked Gong Xiangxiao to join hands with the Chao family.
In addition to what she told Gong Xiangxiao, for the sake of the family and her own future, this move actually implies that Gong Xiangxiao still needs him a lot, so there is no need to worry that she will cross the river and tear down the bridge. Now that he has a place in the middle school, he will be left alone as a prince who has no real power.
Of course, in order not to let the prince get ahead and make more demands, she finally said something to remind the master that the current situation is not the time for him to show his talents!
The regent of the former dynasty joined forces with Emperor Chunjia to fight against the powerful eunuchs such as the Ji family, Zheng Gu, and Cui Wan, and the courtiers.
At this moment, the heir son of the Prince Regent Yuan Concubine came out to make troubles. Isn't this ready to force the Prince Regent to take action to suppress the eldest son, so as not to be taken advantage of by others and provoke the relationship between the Prince Regent's Mansion and the Marquis of Qingping's Mansion!
After all, Marquis Qingping was able to obtain a knighthood as an eunuch, which Zheng Gu, the current number one eunuch, has not done so far. Will he be a philanthropist who does good deeds without leaving his name? Now that the bone-bending Shanggong Xiangxiao jumps out, I'm afraid it's just what he wants, and it just adds fuel to the flames and forces the regent to dismiss the eldest son and push his grandson to take the position.
"I hope this master can listen to it, calm down, and don't make trouble for me." Yun Fenghuang deliberated about the meeting tonight, and felt that he hadn't missed anything important. He breathed a sigh of relief and thought to himself, "Next Just look at Chao Shi's lowly servant girl outside."
Gong Xiangxiao's feeling is correct. Is Yun Fenghuang the kind of person who reconciles with his love rival for his family and himself, and works together for a win-win situation? Of course not!
The reason why she entrusted this matter to Chao Jingyou instead of Qi Jiulu, who is more trustworthy and more convenient, was not to offer an olive branch to Chao Jingyou, but... If this matter is not good, the perpetrator must be Di Jing The thorn in the side here is the thorn in the flesh, kill it quickly!
How could Qi Jiulu be asked to do such a dangerous job?
It's time to let Chao Jingyou and the Chao family behind her top the vat!
As for whether Chao Jingyou will see this scheme, based on Yun Fenghuang's understanding of her: definitely will.
But would she do it after seeing it?
Of course it will.
Because just like what Yun Fenghuang said to Gong Xiangxiao, if Chao Jingyou is in a dead end now, she has no choice at all: she is born into a rich family, but her foundation is shallow. Once she loses the attention of her family, her status will definitely plummet; She racked her brains to marry into the Qi family as the young wife, but she was not favored by her husband, and was even treated as an enemy by her husband. She would rather sleep with a beautiful maid of humble background than enter her room...
If she doesn't do something, her future will be miserable at a glance: Qi Jiulu's team is defeated, and she will be unlucky. After all, although there is someone behind the Chao family, she is a married woman, and she was valued only after marrying Qi Jiulu. Qi Jiulu is useless, so what is her value?
Taking a step back, even if she is saved by then, how will she live in the future? The Chao family has made a fortune for four generations, and there is no remarried daughter among the four generations. She will not make an exception for her. At that time, she will end up living under the fence of others, watching the faces of her brothers, sisters-in-law and nephews... Based on Yun Fenghuang's understanding of her, No wonder she would be willing.
Qi Jiulu succeeded in joining the team and turned against Chao Shi to avenge Qingmei. She was afraid that the end would be even worse.
In this case, as long as you are not the kind of person who is too weak, you will have to struggle no matter what.
So even if she knew that Yun Fenghuang was uneasy and well-intentioned, Chao Jingyou had to go on according to her calculation... This is the power of Yangmou.
Even if Yun Fenghuang sat in front of Chao Jingyou in person and told her her intentions and malice in full, she could only drink poison to quench her thirst.
After all, taking advantage of this incident, and uniting with the Xie family who are eager to clean up the family's stigma, Xie Chao took the lead to integrate the big families in the north and twisted them into one rope... Although Chao Jingyou and the Chao family will risk their lives, it is nothing more than fighting for the right to speak , Improve yourself and the opportunity of your team's status in the clan!
What?
You said that Chao Jingyou's branch has someone behind it, or is it a force from the imperial capital, who is suspected of being Qingpinghou's mansion, so you are not afraid of angering the master by doing this?
This is why Yun Fenghuang decided to take action at Chao Jing's rendezvous - lackeys are also classified into grades, the lowest eats leftovers, sleeps by the firewood house under the eaves, and kicks the servants if they are unhappy. Feet, if one is not good, it will be served on the table and made into a pot of fragrant meat soup;
The middle-level ones are given a little attention, and the people below dare not bully them at will. If they are sick, they may ask a veterinarian to look after them, and they can get basic guarantees for basic necessities of life;
As for the first-class ones, many people don't live as well as them in eight lifetimes. They have dedicated people to serve them, and a group of people circle around them at every turn, and their collars are made of gold and silver flat tubes. As for the fact that it is impossible to go to the table, you can't even mention it, maybe you still have the honor of being buried in the emperor's tomb.
Of course, Chao's intention to do small tricks behind his back behind his back's backstage master's back, but if this thing is done, it will change from a prominent family in a place that was not considered outstanding in a mess to become a certain family after the alliance of the northern lands. The family with the right to speak...then, if the master behind the scenes is not out of their minds, they will not do anything to them, and will even increase their treatment.
Of course, being beaten is inevitable in this process, but overall it is safer after all.
"It's just that this is easy to say, but I'm afraid it's not so easy to do." Before falling asleep, Yun Fenghuang thought in a daze. The Jiang family has also been affected by the matter, and they have the same position on the matter of washing away the stigma. In this way, with the addition of the Chao family, there are three families, and there is also the Qi family. meaning, but they are actually impatient to be involved in the turmoil of the Imperial Capital..."
After Xie Qi, Jiang Chao's four families reached an agreement, they were already a force that should not be underestimated in the Northland.
What's more, each of the four families has in-laws and allies... Yun Fenghuang believes that there is still a lot of hope for this matter to be accomplished, but it will take time.
Even if Chao Jingyou is probably more impatient than her, considering the distance between Dijing and Beidi, this cannot be achieved overnight.
So, to deal with the swords and swords in this palace, the next step is to rely on yourself!
Yun Fenghuang sighed, and pulled the quilt over his head: "Tomorrow... Tomorrow, I can go to watch the selection with the Empress Dowager, but I hope those poor and good families don't disappoint me!"
The next day, Anbi was invited, and she happily followed the phoenix carriage to the Xiuzhuo Palace specially set aside for selection. As a result, not long after the group entered, they picked up the tea in front of them. : "The emperor is here—"
The concubines were all startled, and immediately put down their tea bowls and got up to meet him, feeling very puzzled: When the empress asked the emperor before, the emperor clearly told the empress to handle everything, why did he come here suddenly?
The emperor usually doesn't care about these things!
Especially now that he is in charge, he has no time to spare.
Only Yun Fenghuang buried his head in the queue with a guilty conscience, and thought: Could it be that my previous inquiry made the emperor suspicious, so I came here to watch? ? ?
