Chapter Sixty-Six: Yun Fenghuang: Knowing Grace and Repaying Herself Like My Palace
Luqin Taichung was originally quiet, only occasionally heard a few suppressed sobs.
With Yun Fenghuang's voice like this, there was an instant silence inside.
After a while, I heard a series of noises, interspersed with a few palace servants calling out in panic: "Your Majesty! Your Majesty! Your Majesty, wake up...don't scare your servant, Your Majesty!"
He followed Emperor Chunjia in big strides, and because of the intense action, the black and wide sleeves fluttered like dark clouds, and the look of anger on the emperor's face was even more like thunder. He glared at Yun Fenghuang from the corridor, and said coldly: Shi!!!”
"Your Majesty is still here, that's just right." Yun Fenghuang slightly raised his head and looked at him, his eyes were half joking and half happy, and said loudly, "I also ask Your Majesty and the poor concubine Shu Concubine to be the master! Sister Concubine Shu Since you are virtuous and virtuous, you are the most gentle, virtuous, and considerate, how could you murder the emperor's heir?! This must be framed by the noble concubine, deliberately targeting our Duke Yi!"
The emperor looked at her, his eyes seemed to choose someone to devour, but Yun Fenghuang didn't evade, his brows were full of provocations!
The emperor and concubine confronted each other for a moment, the emperor closed his eyes, almost squeezed his voice out from between his teeth, and said word by word: "This matter... I and the empress will investigate thoroughly, Mao Jieyu has just returned, rest is important , go back to Lanzhou Yeyu Pavilion immediately, without my permission, you are not allowed to take a step!"
"Your Majesty, this humble concubine is only able to enter the palace to serve you thanks to the praise of my uncles and aunts, and the perseverance of my concubine and sister!" Yun Fenghuang heard this, without saying a word, lightly lifted the hem of her skirt, and knelt down on the ground, Tears welled up in her eyelashes when she raised her head, and said in a trembling voice, "My concubine is slow to say that she is confined to Lanzhou Yeyu Pavilion, even if she is ordered to die on the spot by His Majesty, it is not a pity to die! But Sister Concubine Shu has served you for eight years, she is What kind of person, Your Majesty, you still don’t know? She herself suffered from miscarriage, how could she have the heart to attack the imperial heir in the womb of the imperial concubine?!”
Speaking of the last sentence, I was sobbing!
At this time, it was almost evening, and the vegetation in the mountains was luxuriant. In the palace built to escape the summer, there were even towering ancient trees and full of saplings. The Luqin Terrace where the noble concubine lives has the word "Tai" but it is not a real high platform. It is built on a wide and flat mountain rock, surrounded by camphor pines and moss, even in the scorching sun. During the day, the light and shadow are uneven, and it is as cool as autumn.
The young Jieyu was kneeling so pitifully, her primrose-colored embroidered pomegranate red oleander pleated skirt was spread out on the soft mossy ground, making her snow-skinned, black-haired, and vermilion lips even more apparent; Looking at it from a different angle, the white and slender neck is like a swan, and the long eyelashes are trembling like butterfly wings. It is indescribably pure and weak, charming but not bewitching.
If it were another emperor who was a little bit more sympathetic and sympathetic to jade, I'm afraid his heart would soften.
But Chunjia was not only unwilling to soften her heart, she even wanted to give her death on the spot - but at this time, Zheng Guifei, who had just fainted inside, woke up faintly, and insisted on letting the palace servants help her out: "Your Majesty..."
"Why did Concubine Ai get up?" The emperor frowned, hurried over to support her, and said lightly, "The imperial doctor said, you have to lie on the couch these days to recuperate."
Seeing Concubine Zheng staring blankly at Yun Fenghuang at the bottom of the steps, with an inexplicable expression, the emotion in his eyes darkened, and his tone became more gentle, "Come on, I will accompany you in first... I will take care of things here, be obedient, um ?”
"What can your majesty do?" The concubine didn't move, she looked away from Yun Fenghuang, looked at the smoky mountain, smiled at herself, and said sadly, "the concubine's child will not come back after all. gone."
"I love my concubine..." Although the emperor didn't expect Zheng Guifei's child at all, and was even happy to see this concubine's miscarriage, he couldn't help being a little embarrassed at this moment.
Concubine Zheng is the second highest concubine among his concubines after the empress. She was born dignified and beautiful. Even in terms of appearance, she is more palace-like than the empress. Her temperament is also the kind of prudent and dignified, she is not like a queen raised by a powerful official, but like a girl raised by a good family with full of rules.
When it comes to reassuring the emperor, they are probably a little worse than the Yun family who are wholeheartedly royalists.
Since entering the palace for many years, she has been respectful and obedient to Chunjia, even though the emperor seldom visited her after she was pregnant, she has no complaints... Although the emperor knows that this respect does not mind, the main reason is that the imperial concubine has limited feelings for him, but in the end it is He kept himself safe and served his concubine who had never been a hindrance to him all these years.
It was just a miscarriage, and the child was lost in such a violent way that the imperial physician euphemistically hinted that if the confinement child does not sit well, he may follow in Mao Jieyu's footsteps in the future, and the offspring will be difficult.
It has been very difficult, miserable, and unfortunate to get here, but in the end, the sister of the perpetrator came to the door aggressively, calling out for Concubine Shu's grievances, and "bad maids" one by one... This is the same as the bloody heart of Concubine Chao What is the difference between being stabbed with a knife, and not stabbed once or twice? !
Due to emotion and reason, it is impossible for the emperor not to follow the imperial concubine's point at this moment. Sensing the resentment in her words, he hesitated for a while, and finally sighed: "Don't worry, my concubine, I... will definitely let Yi Guo The government will give you an explanation!"
"Thank you, Your Majesty." The concubine's face seemed to be covered with a layer of frost, cold and lifeless, she said Xie En's words, but her eyes did not fluctuate at all. She looked away and glanced at Yun Fenghuang lightly, "I'm not feeling well, I'm going in first...Your Majesty, I don't want to see anyone from the Yun family right now, is that okay?"
The emperor shook her hand and ordered without looking back: "Send Mao Jieyu back to Lanzhou Night Rain Pavilion."
Then Wen Yan said to the noble concubine, "I will accompany you in."
"Your Majesty, please go back?" Seeing this, Yan Yin motioned for a servant in front of the imperial court to accompany the emperor and noble concubine into the room, coughed dryly, walked to Yun Fenghuang, and said in a low voice, "The imperial concubine is still sitting in the small room now. Yuezi, if you have anything to say, I will talk about it after seeing His Majesty later, okay?"
Yun Fenghuang ignored it, stared at the backs of the emperor and the noble concubine, and watched the door slowly close after they walked in, then stood up with a sneer: "I don't have the luck to give birth to an emperor's heir, I will blame this and that, tsk !"
Hearing that the palace servants at Luqin Terrace dared not speak out, Yan Yin smiled wryly: "Your Majesty, please!"
Mao Jieyu didn't follow the rules, even if he was the imperial eunuch, he didn't dare to offend easily, so he didn't say anything at this moment, just asked Yun Fenghuang to go back to Lanzhou Yeyu Pavilion.
Simply Yun Fenghuang was cursing and swearing, after all, he didn't intend to continue to smash and make trouble, so he left with a sullen face and resentment.
When she returned to Lanzhou Yeyu Pavilion, Yi Xingen had already waited for a while, seeing her coming in, she quickly stood up and saluted: "My concubine is very happy to hear that the empress has returned safely. But I heard from the people below that the empress drank medicine and went to sleep as soon as she came back. I was afraid of disturbing you, so I delayed until now..."
"It's okay." Yun Fenghuang waved his hand indifferently, looked at her and felt good, and nodded with satisfaction, "I heard that you are happy? It's really congratulations... Sit down, since you are a person with two bodies, of course everything is in order The emperor's heir is the most important."
It doesn't matter if the child is not born, but if it is born, it will be raised for her, so can you not care about it?
Yi Xingen sat down respectfully, and thanked her for her kindness.
"Who served the honeydew ice? I don't know if Yi Yuwan has it? Why don't you hurry up and bring some hot tea?" Yun Fenghuang took a sip of the tea in front of him and saw a bowl of honeydew ice in front of Yi Xingen , just frowned, "By the way, Yu Wan will use less makeup in the future. Firstly, your color is good, but you really dislike the color of makeup; It’s all called to stop dressing up. After all, the emperor’s heir is important, and it’s not a matter of ten months, right?”
Although some people seem to have no problem with the child who painted eyebrows and lips as usual during pregnancy, but still the same sentence: It’s okay if the child is not born, and it is Yi Xingen who suffers; if it is born, it will be an import for her. Then of course she would rather believe it or not, anyway, it's not herself who has stopped using makeup and can't dress up in the past ten months...
After she said that, Yi Xingen opened his mouth and could only say: "Yes."
Seeing that she was obedient, Yun Fenghuang smiled slightly and told Nian Xuan: "Bring up the things that the empress dowager and the three empress dowagers sent up just now."
With the identities of these people, they will not be too stingy when they make a move, let alone a reward for saving them. Several large boxes were carried up, full of silk, silk, satin and jewels, and everyone present was dazzled.
Even Yun Fenghuang admired it for a while, and then said to Yi Xingen: "You are a member of the palace, and now you are pregnant again, so I can't treat you badly. For the sake of the emperor's heir, makeup and other things are not allowed. It's easy to use, but the clothes and jewelry are fine... This is the first time I've come to the palace, and I don't have anything in my hand now, luckily it's only rewarded by the Empress Dowager and the others, now I'll pick one for you, just take whatever you like!"
"Your Majesty, this concubine is humble, how can I use these good things?" Yi Xingen was very moved, and then she refused tactfully, "My concubine is honored by my empress and His Majesty's pity, I am lucky to be pregnant, and I can continue to have children for the royal family. I'm overjoyed, if I receive such a generous reward from the empress again, wouldn't it be greedy?"
After so many pushes and pushes, she still didn't dare to say a word, and finally Yun Fenghuang forcibly ordered a batch of clothing and jewelry to be picked out for her, forcing her to accept it.
Therefore, Yi Xingen insisted on kneeling on the ground regardless of the obstruction: "I can have the position of empress in this life, what more can I ask for!"
Although I know that this statement may not be taken seriously, and even if I sincerely mean it, it will probably work now, and it will be difficult to say in the future, but the host feels at ease after listening and watching. I was the chief culprit who caused His Majesty to fall off the cliff before, even the body was pried into the box to take advantage of it, and the people in the palace were of course unlucky - Yi Xingen was diagnosed with pregnancy because of her beauty, so the treatment was relatively good Yes, I was sent to a remote small yard.
Qu Hongzhuan and a few other concubines who had a role in summer vacation were squeezed out, but their accommodation was not as good as that of the grand maid in front of the lord.
Now that Yun Fenghuang came back, it was the emperor's own testimony of saving him. Of course, it is impossible to let him go, so he asked Xi Le to find the relevant stewards, and have them all brought here for resettlement.
There are three floors above and below the Lanzhou Yeyu Pavilion, and there is an inverted seat at the back for the palace people. Just the concubines of the Xuanqing Palace who came to the palace this time, they can live even if they are squeezed.
Now that he brought the man here, Yun Fenghuang had to comfort him again, and asked Nian Xuan to reward him with something to relieve his heart.
After being so busy, it soon came to the time to light the lanterns—he ordered a banquet to be held in the main hall, and he and several concubines congratulated Yi Xing'en.
Just as it was bustling, there was a sudden communication from outside, saying that the emperor is coming!
"Get off!!!" The emperor came in very quickly this time, before Yun Fenghuang took the lead to meet him, he had already strode across the threshold, and when he saw the room full of people, he raised his eyelids and shouted fiercely, " roll!"
"...The concubine complies with the order." Although the concubines are generally more in awe of the emperor than the concubines, however, no matter the rumors of the palace ban or personal contact, Chunjia is extremely gentle and generous, and it is the first time seeing him so furious. , were all stunned, and just woke up as if waking up from a dream.
Photographed by Yu Diwei and the others, they didn't dare to stay any longer, but they didn't know where their master had offended the emperor - those who left were worried and hesitant.
Seeing this, the emperor frowned and was about to attack again, but Yun Fenghuang slowly put down the golden jue in his hand, and said with a light smile: "It doesn't matter, you all go down, if you haven't eaten well, I will let the small kitchen treat you one by one later." Send some porridge and noodles."
"Thank you, ma'am." A palace concubine boldly blessed her, seeing that the emperor was silent, everyone hurriedly thanked Yun Fenghuang, and then filed out.
Xi Le and other palace servants still wanted to dawdle, but Yun Fenghuang squinted at them, so he stepped back with his hands and feet and followed the palace concubines, and even closed the door with his backhand.
