Chapter 78: Han's Mother-in-Law and Daughter-in-Law

The emperor gave Yi Xingen face, and really stayed in Yun Qingman's room that night.

When he got up the next morning, he called Yun Fenghuang to have breakfast together. During the period, he said that Yun Qingman served well and had been in the palace for some time.

Yun Fenghuang took a sip of the warm rose dew, and said with a smile: "It's natural. These people, my concubine, entered the palace to serve His Majesty. If they don't have this ability, then what face do they have to enjoy the moon?" What about the servants of the palace people?"

The emperor's original intention was to take advantage of the situation to mention Yun Qingman's position or something, but after she said that, it was difficult to continue talking.

It's just that he stopped talking, and Yun Fenghuang asked, "By the way, Your Majesty, why hasn't the empress said anything about concubine Jin Zhaoyi in the past two days? Could it be that the empress doesn't like concubines?" , so I am impatient to handle this matter for my concubine? Then, Your Majesty, who should handle this matter? Otherwise, if this drags on, I might have to go back to the Imperial Capital!"

"... Do you think there is a second concubine like you in this palace, who almost got into the position?" The emperor didn't achieve his goal, and he was unhappy, and he was very unhappy to be pursued by her for promotion. , and said angrily, "Besides, the concubine had a miscarriage and concubine Shu passed away in the past two days, and the people in your palace have had fetal gas, why do you still think about it?"

If this were another concubine who wanted to be more face-saving, she would have been so red-faced that she wished she could dig a hole in the ground, but Yun Fenghuang didn't!

She widened her eyes all of a sudden, and looked at the emperor in surprise: "Don't say that something happened to the imperial concubine Shu and the people in the palace, even if the three palaces and six courtyards are all bad, why can't the concubine think about these things?" Already?! The concubine said that the first task of the concubine when entering the palace is to serve you, so I should be thinking about you! The promotion is what you said, if the concubine forgets it because of other trivial matters, That's not taking what you say seriously, and that's being ashamed of your identity as a concubine, isn't it?!"

The emperor was silent for a while, sighed, and said with emotion: "I haven't seen you for a long time, Mao Jieyu's sophistry is really not lost at all."

"Where did my concubine say something wrong? Why did I just quibble?" Yun Fenghuang's face was full of grievances, and tears even appeared in his eyes. With ulterior motives! If you are like a concubine, you have all your thoughts on you, how can you have the time to meddle in those trivial matters?"

Looking at the emperor's expression again, he asked, "Could it be that the imperial concubine hated the concubine for the first time and went to Luqin Terrace to find her theory, so she pestered His Majesty not to allow the concubine to be promoted? The concubine..."

"Calm down!" The emperor was immediately alert, for fear that she would go to Luqintai to make trouble again—to be honest, he really wanted to reject Jin Zhaoyi's promise. The plan to rescue Duke Yi's mansion, but not only failed to rescue the siege, but also forced Concubine Shu to death. Not long ago, this Jieyu even had the audacity to make trouble in the Fangyin Hall!

After all this trouble, the emperor didn't demote her back to the concubine, it was the overall situation that was the most important thing, so return her to Jin Zhaoyi?

Just don't even think about it!

But now Yun Fenghuang revealed that you dare to continue to do things without being promoted to the old lady, the emperor couldn't help but have a headache, thought for a while, and finally said, "Who told you to go to the Fangyin Hall to make trouble that day, and even alarmed the emperor's grandmother?" What? Now the elders feel that you are restless, so you have to observe it for a few days before talking about the promotion."

"Your Majesty, the matter of my concubine's promotion to you is not all for my own sake." Yun Fenghuang heard the words, pondered for a while, and said, "You think, Yi Yuwan has only been pregnant for a few days, and someone will hold her hand." Reach out to her..."

The emperor interrupted: "Yi Yuwan has already made it clear to me that this time it's mainly because she had a nightmare, and it's also the concubine who cared about her but was confused, and took her servant down for questioning without asking clearly. Of course, I don't blame love Concubine, Concubine Ai is also worried about the emperor's heir, and she did the right thing. But Yi Yuwan's pregnancy is really not caused by someone."

"Even if it's not this time, what about in the future?" Yun Fenghuang sighed, looking worried, "Yi Yuwan is only pregnant with this child, and she will definitely not be able to have children in such a short time to escape from the summer heat. Of course, it is not too far away to go back to the imperial capital. But the journey was tiring, and the concubine was exhausted when she came here, let alone Yi Yuwan will be twins by then?"

The emperor really wanted to say that you weren't tired at all during the first half of your trip, and you wouldn't be tired during the second half if you hadn't been living in the wilderness, but Yun Fenghuang didn't give him a chance to interject, "Although Yue Jieyu is Jieyu, But I am the master, and I have the loving mother Empress Dowager to take care of me, so I can live in peace until now. Of course, the concubine does not mean that I want Yi Yuwan to disturb the loving mother Empress Dowager, but the knees of His Majesty are still empty, and every emperor's heir They are all very precious. As a concubine with only Jieyu's status, I am afraid it will be difficult to deter Liugong, so protect Yi Yuwan comprehensively!"

"My dear concubine, the noble concubine is second only to the empress." The emperor was quite speechless, and said in a gentle tone, "but the noble concubine is also..."

"Your Majesty, isn't that an accident, Concubine Concubine?" Yun Fenghuang looked at him innocently, "Since it was an accident, it means that it might not have happened to other people! If Sister Concubine Shu was not too careful, The noble concubine could have given birth to a little prince for His Majesty in peace and security!"

The emperor knew that she attached great importance to status, and since she brought it up this time, it was obvious that there would be no result and she would not let it go.

After thinking about it for a while, he said: "You should go to the queen to discuss this matter. The promotion in the palace is originally presided over by the queen."

Then he just slipped away on the pretext of having something to do.

So after a while, Bao Se Xiaozhu and Empress Ji slapped the table angrily: "Your Majesty wants to be a good person, and I don't want to wrong his darlings! As a result, one by one came to my palace to make things difficult. This and that, is this palace six The master of the palace, or the mother of the sixth palace?!"

What Emperor Chunjia did was really unethical. He sent someone to tell the empress that he had no intention of promoting Mao Jieyu, but Mao Jieyu came to say that the emperor had agreed to the promotion and only waited for the empress to implement it. Instead, he wanted to tell Yun Fenghuang directly and ask her to go to the emperor, but since the emperor sent someone to ventilate in advance, he obviously wanted the queen to act as a shield for him, and he didn't want to be entangled by Yun Fenghuang himself.

How could Empress Ji not be angry?

"Forget it, since His Majesty ordered it personally, I have to go out and perfunctory." Empress Ji used the excuse of other matters, went back to the inner room to vent her anger, and finally suppressed her anger, and went out to meet Yun Fenghuang again.

"Your Majesty has indeed told me about Jin Zhaoyi." Back on the phoenix seat, Empress Ji regained her calm expression, and said slowly, "It's just that everything in the palace is not complete. The meaning is, wait until you go back to the imperial capital to make arrangements. After all, there have been no nine concubines in the palace for many years. Before that, you and Wei Jieyu Jin Jieyu didn't make much fuss. Many things have happened in the palace this year. In the morning, Gong Yi wanted to have fun and get rid of bad luck. Your promotion this time is just in time."

Yun Fenghuang frowned, and said: "Madam, Yue Jieyu is still pregnant. When she gives birth, according to the rules, she must be promoted. She has always been loved by His Majesty, and she is an old man in the palace. The concubine thinks that this is a big deal. It's better to give her the opportunity to make things happen. After all, even though there are concubines in the palace who are pregnant, after all, the birth mother is humble, how can she compare with Yue Jieyu?"

The empress made it clear that it was a strategy to delay the attack, how could Yun Fenghuang believe it?

When the emperor promised to advance to the throne before, she would not believe that she would continue to reward the emperor after raising the heir, let alone now.

"What's the matter?" Empress Ji smiled lightly, and said, "Could it be that the palace is short of money for one more canonization ceremony? When the time comes, you will do it first, and she will come again. Isn't it all the same? They all come from Jie." Yujin went up, there's no reason for her to overwhelm you, right?"

Seeing what Yun Fenghuang wanted to say, the queen raised her eyebrows, "What? Mao Jieyu must be ungrateful? This palace is so special to praise you, and it's wrong?"

"..." Chunjia, that fool!

You can't say that you can't face me, so you drag the queen out to top the tank!

Yun Fenghuang felt resentful in his heart, but he really couldn't find any other reasons, so he could only say bitterly, "Then I will thank my mother for her kindness."

Empress Ji watched her leave with a sneer, and felt that the grievances of these days were finally relieved.

When Yun Fenghuang returned to Lanzhou Yeyu Pavilion, he asked someone to cook for Yun Qingman the secret recipe for seeking a child that he had obtained from Ji Muzi before, and arranged for the cheap sister to serve the emperor in bed.

It's just that the emperor is also busy these days, the imperial concubine and Yue Jieyu need to be appeased, and other concubines occasionally go there once or twice. Pretending to be sick, she tried her best to give Yun Qingman a few chances.

In the middle, Yun Qingman went to Yun Fenghuang with a sad face, and said that the medicine for begging for a child was a bit unpleasant, can I not drink it?

That is of course impossible, and Yun Fenghuang didn't drink it himself.

She dismissed him in a few words, and told Yun Qingman's left and right to watch over him, lest Yun Qingman pretended to drink it, but actually vomited it out, and delayed the emperor's visit for nothing.

In a few days like this, thanks to Empress Ji's proposal, the concubines once again had the opportunity to reunite with their families.

This time, the people in Duke Yi's mansion were in very complicated moods, because they followed Xie's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law into the palace...

After all, Concubine Shu is dead, and Yun Qingman is only a palace concubine. According to the rules, her family members are not eligible to reunite, and they can only be honored by Xie's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law...

Yun Fenghuang was very polite to Mrs. Xie's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, but she had no good looks towards Mrs. Yi Guogong and Mrs. Han. As soon as they met, she preemptively asked them to persuade Yun Qingman: "...The first thing that Fangzi ate was Yi Yu Wan, she is pregnant now! Bengong and Qingman are like sisters. After seeing the effect, they specially prepared soup and medicine for her. All expenses are Bengong's account! Otherwise, such a Good thing, it's Ronghua's turn?! As a result, she complained to Ben Gong because the soup was a bit bitter, and she didn't think about who Ben Gong did this for?"

She pointed in the direction of Xiangtaoxuan, and said earnestly, "Since Concubine Shu's sister died, our sisters have lost their support in this palace! I have a hard life, and I was cut off from the idea of ​​having children just after entering the palace. It is rare for Qingman to return It's alright, the emperor's favor is not very strong, if you don't give birth to an emperor's heir now, what will you do in the future?"

"I did this for her own good!"

"It's also for the good of Duke Yi!"

Mrs. Yiguo was trembling with anger, her hands were trembling, it was her biological daughter who died for no apparent reason, and it was rumored that she was forced to death by the hands of the concubine who kept saying "I am for your own good" Yes, but she has to bow her head to the domineering culprit right now, and promise to teach Yun Qingman a good lesson later, so as not to cause trouble to Yun Fenghuang.

As for Mrs. Han, her complexion is also very ugly, she is not angry, but worried - she is the initiator of Yunfenghuang's entry into the palace, and she didn't take this poor relative's niece and daughter from afar to heart at first, thinking about it It is always an eyesore for her husband to have such a caring person in front of him. Seeing how she is so flattering to Yun Qingman, a concubine, she is also greedy for wealth and honor.

Even though Mrs. Xie was already proposing marriage to Yun Fenghuang at that time, from Mrs. Han's point of view, even if this kind of person leaves the court, it is not impossible to get together with Yun Qike.

And she felt that she came from a wealthy family, and she didn't want to get blood on her hands because of such a thing. There was a palace concubine killer Yuan Niangniang in the left and right palaces, and she happened to have a grudge with her eldest sister-in-law, Concubine Shu, so she raised it with her mother-in-law. As soon as he talked about Concubine Shu's kung fu, it really hit it off: Ever since Yuan Niangniang's attack on Concubine Shu was exposed, the emperor was out of guilt and out of gratitude for his loyalty to Duke Yi's mansion. Yuan Niangniang is under.

It can be seen that for this kind-hearted emperor, bitter tricks are very effective.

However, after all, Concubine Shu didn't really let Yuan Niangniang make herself so cruel, it's not good to continue to fight in person, as for Yun Qingman, who is about to be sent to the palace, she shoulders the responsibility of bearing children for her sister, so it's not good move.

Let's use girls from other offshoots of the Yun family... After all, they are also members of the Yun family, as Concubine Shu told Yun Fenghuang back then, since they can sacrifice an irrelevant outsider, why would they want to use their own blood?

So get an abandoned son with the name of the Yun family in, and Yuan Niangniang will not change her nature at that time, and will continue to kill the daughter of the Yun family... A human life is not the point, the point is that this life comes from the Yun family. In front of the emperor, of course, there is a group of people who live for the emperor, die for the emperor, and slam into the wall without regret, but what will the emperor think?

Even if he didn't dislike Yuan Niangniang because of this, he would definitely have a deeper sense of guilt and indebtedness to the Yun family.

In this way, the Han family, Concubine Shu, and Duke Yi's mansion can benefit from it. Even Yunju Xie's couple and Mrs. Yi Guogong have agreed with Concubine Shu to give them some compensation afterwards. The only one who suffers is Yun Fenghuang Only one person.

But in the eyes of the three instigators, what is Yunfenghuang?

Mrs. Han even privately told Mrs. Yiguo that being able to die for Mrs. Yun was considered a blessing to have been with Yun Qingman for the past three years. After all, ordinary people are not even qualified to die for Mrs. Yun!

How carelessly and condescendingly he said those words at the time, how shocked he was when he heard the news of Concubine Shu's death!

At this moment, when the condescending Yun Fenghuang glanced over with a half-smile but not a smile, Han almost couldn't control the panic on her expression—she actually didn't want to come with Mrs. Yi Guogong, but she didn't say that her mother-in-law was going out these years. The reason why the daughter-in-law is not accompanied. And even if Mrs. Yi Guogong knew that she would meet her enemy who killed her daughter, she still couldn't not come. After all, when Concubine Shu was there, she could sneak some news to the family. Come to this skill?

The news of Concubine Shu's death is known to the Duke of Yi Kingdom as the royal family announced it to the outside world - this is really not in line with what they know about the character of their eldest lady, and no one will believe it without inside information. It is impossible for the emperor to explain the matter to Duke Yi personally, so this gathering of the concubines and their families is the best opportunity for Mrs. Yi to find out the inside story of the death of her own daughter.

How could she miss it?

"Okay, you go!" Yun Fenghuang admired the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law who were about to collapse but still insisted on showing a solemn and demure look, and then waved in a good mood and let them go to see Yun Qingman.

After Mrs. Han supported her mother-in-law to leave, she turned her head and looked at Mrs. Xie.

Mrs. Xie didn't know why she was a little nervous, swallowed, and asked carefully, "Feng Huang, I heard that you disappeared with His Majesty for a few days before, are you injured?"

Yun Fenghuang said "hmm" and said it was nothing, before the aunt could continue to inquire about her health, she asked, "Have you received any letters from home recently?"

"Your mother wrote a letter to ask you about entering the palace." When it came to this Xie's eyes were red, he wanted to talk but held back, and paused, "I heard from your uncle two days ago that His Majesty was rewarded with a thank you." Shi, you even conferred two loose official titles on your father and brother...does this have something to do with you?"

Yun Fenghuang was slightly taken aback when he heard the words, but was quite surprised.
