Chapter 168: Chunjia: Accept Concubines and Increase Knowledge

Yun Fenghuang didn't tell Wei Hengyan his guess, just said a few casual words to send him away, and then called Xie Hengyu to him and asked, "When is the birthday of the Holy Mother and Empress Dowager?"

Speaking of which, Empress Dowager Qu, Chunjia's biological mother, was really wronged.

Before the Ji family was in power, the Empress Dowager Yuan was not allowed to celebrate her birthday in a big way. After all, everyone knew what the day was, and Chunjia personally went out to hunt for the mother's birthday every year. who.

But Empress Dowager Qu, there is no birthday festival that the queen mother should have, and there is no special expression for her own child. Most people don't even know when her birthday is?

"I heard people say that it seems to be in the first month, which is about the same as your time." Xie Hengyu simply asked about it, and said at this moment, "So the maidservant wrote it down after hearing it... The empress is planning to wait for the Queen Mother to celebrate her birthday Is it time to return a generous gift? Yes, after all, her old man has given us vegetarian meals for a long time, so it should be expressed."

Yun Fenghuang pondered and said: "I have some intentions to think this way, but now I don't know whether this empress dowager is so considerate to me because she is too lonely, or does she have other plans?"

She talked about Princess Kunze and her doubts, Xie Hengyu thought for a while, and said: "Your Majesty, this servant thinks that regardless of whether the Queen Mother has ulterior motives or not, she gave us this long-term gift for her." Su Shan, we don't want to be disrespectful to her. After all, she was the one who conceived and gave birth to His Majesty in October, so even if His Majesty is not close to her, you can't deny this kindness!"

Seeing Yun Fenghuang nodding her head slightly, she said, "As for the loving mother empress dowager, we don't know the grievances and hatreds in the Fuyang palace at that time, and we didn't intend to get close to the empress dowager. If the two empress dowagers quarrel in the future Turn it over, you should explain to the loving empress dowager that this loving empress dowager is not unreasonable. After all, there are not many concubines who are as filial and considerate as your empress in the Sixth Court of Sangong, who can share the worries of the elders."

It means that as long as you keep being a useful talent, Queen Mother Yuan won't have to push you to Queen Mother Qu.

Yun Fenghuang smiled delicately, and said, "That's the truth."

But I thought in my heart, this Empress Dowager Yuan is now helping, who knows what will happen in the future?

You might as well keep the olive branch extended by Empress Dowager Qu, maybe it will be useful one day?

...The next day, a group of people arrived at the Spring Palace. Princess Kunze was here as usual. After the Empress Dowager Yuan called out, she said a few gossips, and then ordered that the princess, who is sympathetic to the concubine, need to organize the Mid-Autumn Festival banquet. From now on , Excuse me, it didn't start until the next day after the feast.

Empress Ji quickly declined, and said: "Ordinary people, as a wife, still have to calm down in the morning and evening, listen to the instruction, the daughter-in-law is the wife of the heaven, how can she be so slack? Please don't dislike the daily disturbance of the daughter-in-law."

"Queen, don't think about it too much. The Ai family also saw that you have been running around for the past two days, and the concubine Zhen's chin has become sharper. As for you, you were sick when you were in the palace before, so you can't be too tired now. Empress Dowager Yuan smiled, "The Ai family sees that you all look like their own daughters, how can you be willing?"

Empress Ji respectfully said, don't say what is so upsetting in your heart: the co-author is the concubine Zhen, or Princess Kunze. As for her, the meaning is to let her know something interesting. The main thing, the point is The limelight is matched with the real concubine and Kunze princess!

After returning that day, the queen said that her old illness had relapsed, and entrusted most of the things to Yun Fenghuang and Princess Kunze.

Princess Kunze is young, has no experience, has no experience, and is ignorant, and probably has been told, she is still humble and obedient, and always asks Yun Fenghuang for everything.

Yun Fenghuang was very busy at the time, not only did he have no time to think about the pregnant women in other people's palaces, but even Yi Xingen didn't have time to ask questions in person. Several times when Chunjia came to Xuanqing Palace, he recommended Qu Hongzhuan under the pretext of being tired. Wait for a few concubines to attend the bed.

So two days before the feast, Chunjia suddenly remembered something, and said to her: "Now the imperial capital has arrived with many scholars who are interested in Enke, and there are many talented and famous people among them. I thought, at the feast Add a few more seats and give them to those who have both talent and virtue. Aifei, is this difficult?"

Yun Fenghuang: "...!!!"

Is it difficult?

If you really want to say it's difficult, it's really not that difficult. As the emperor said, it's just a matter of adding a few seats anyway.

After all, not to mention that these people are only scholars now, without a serious official status, they would be flattered to be able to participate in this level of feast, so why would they dare to be picky?

The issue is……

If she guessed correctly!

The emperor's so-called bestowing "both talents and virtues" among them, it is better to say, bestowing "my favorite sister and wife choice".

Moreover, she delayed speaking until this time, without asking, because she was afraid that if Yun Fenghuang knew about it in advance, she might do something wrong... No, she would definitely do something wrong!

"...What's so difficult about this?" Yun Fenghuang gritted his teeth secretly, but said with a smile on his face, "It is indeed a blessing for the country that His Majesty values ​​talents."

Chunjia looked at her with great interest: "The feast is long, and I heard that the queen's old illness has relapsed. My concubine should teach Kunze well, so that I won't be too busy all by myself."

While guarding against Bengong, you are also afraid that Bengong won't teach your sister carefully?

Yun Fenghuang slammed his dog's head in his heart, and continued to remain calm: "Yes, don't worry, Your Majesty, the princess is smart, and I understand it as soon as I say it, and I will definitely not disappoint the expectations of Your Majesty and the empress dowager."

"So, during the interval between the banquets, my concubine can get together with my brothers." Chun Jia stroked her hair on the sideburns, and said with a smile, "After all, after this meeting, I'm afraid that we will have the opportunity to wait for their titles on the gold list. "

Seeing that Yun Fenghuang was dazed for a while, he showed unbelievable joy, he was amused in his heart, and scratched her cheek, "Are you still scolding me in your heart right now?"

"What did Your Majesty say!" Yun Fenghuang immediately swore, "When did I scold you in my heart? I like Your Majesty the most! If anyone says that Your Majesty is not good, I will not obey!"

Chunjia smiled and said: "There is no truth, I really think I am stupid, I can't see that you just wanted to pounce on me and bite me?"

He thinks this concubine is also fun, if you say she is deep in thought, many times she can tell what she wants, happy or angry at a glance; Dare to jump to conclusions.

Well, maybe it's because I still have too few women?

Chunjia fell into deep thought: After recruiting more concubines in the future and gaining more knowledge, it should not be so difficult to guess what the real concubine is thinking... right?

Yun Fenghuang didn't know the emperor's thoughts at all, served him very attentively that night, and then turned around to discuss with Xie Hengyu, how to help Xie's children stand out at the festival banquet, become a blockbuster, and strive to be directly promoted to the royal consort!

Xie Hengyu said: "Thirteen young ladies are outside to dress up, and they will definitely be able to help with the staff. As for the conversation and behavior, these can't be done overnight, and we can only use our brains on other things."

She suggested secretly, "Scholars are not qualified to participate in such a feast. Now that you have participated, you can't show nothing. The maid was thinking, can the empress mention it to His Majesty, and let them sing in public at the banquet?" Poetry and Fu, let our young master prepare it in advance... when the time comes..."

"I'm afraid this is inappropriate." Yun Fenghuang thought for a while and shook his head, "I believe in the talents and learning of the brothers in the family. But there are heavens and people outside the sky, and there are people outside the sky, and the day after tomorrow will be a feast. Just two days, even if A few brothers are preparing in advance together. I am really catching up with that kind of talented people. I am afraid that they will make wedding clothes for others! Mom, don’t forget that in the list given by His Majesty, there are three scholars from Jiangnan, and there are outstanding people in that place , it’s really not a good match.”

Isn't the "Preface to the Pavilion of King Teng" in the previous dynasty a clear example?

I don’t know how long it took to start preparing, as the father-in-law personally gave instructions, added and deleted countless times, and changed drafts many times. In the end, I thought I could become a blockbuster and pave the way for the younger generation... As a result, a young talent was killed in the horizontal stabbing, and he made a name in history on the spot. Level masterpieces.

Since then, the world has known about the Pavilion of Prince Teng and the "Preface to the Pavilion of Prince Teng". As for the son-in-law who wrote the preface in advance... who remembers?

Yun Fenghuang didn't want to follow in this kind of footsteps, his father-in-law just wanted to make his son-in-law famous, but he didn't make it, and at least he witnessed the publication of a famous article, so his life was not in vain.

She missed one here, but a family, and even her own future is bleak.

Xie Hengyu suggested again: "It's better to try riding and shooting..."

"Jieban, there were no such rules before, how can this be done? Can't the emperor move to the school?" Yun Fenghuang pondered, "However, it is possible to join games such as throwing pots. However, these are just trails."

"Actually, the servant girl feels that since His Majesty is willing to let the Xie family's children participate in the palace banquet, it is obvious that he does not thank the Xie family for being a son-in-law." Xie Hengyu thought for a while and said, "Why don't we let nature take its course first? I told the empress at the right time to entertain the scholars, and the empress thought that His Majesty didn’t like us being too busy, so if we are not too busy... Princess, there are three of you!”

Well, since Chunjia does not thank her for being a son-in-law, the real concubine Yunfenghuang still deserves to be favored, and the region where the Xie family is located is also very important to Chunjia... As long as Yunfenghuang behaves more well-behaved and sensible, the Xie family will be assigned The probability of a princess is still very high!

The most important thing is that this Mid-Autumn Festival banquet, it is said that the emperor personally took the opportunity to take a look at the prospective brothers-in-law, but it is impossible to say that after the festival banquet, the marriage of the three princesses will be finalized immediately.

How come Chunwei has to come out and bear fruit, and then give a marriage, this is the scenery, isn't it?

So even if you don't do anything at the feast, and you find out that the result is not satisfactory afterwards, is it because you don't have the time to intervene?

"... also." Yun Fenghuang thought for a long time, sighed, and said, "If you care about it, you will be confused. I am too eager."

So she decided to cultivate her self-cultivation, and temporarily become a virtuous and virtuous concubine, treating invited scholars equally, and letting the emperor choose... As a result, she didn't pick things, but someone picked hers at the festival banquet! ! !

Moreover, they are the scholars who came to the banquet!
