Chapter 31: Initiation Ceremony

The queen clearly saw the expressions of the three people on the phoenix throne. Wei Ronghua, who had returned to Cai Cai, was naturally gloating about his misfortune. Yun Fenghuang was clearly startled at first, and then showed a look of grievance. He just pondered for a moment, and then returned to his nonchalant look. Bow your head and give thanks.

"She is quite calm." Empress Ji thought to herself, "I thought she would be spoiled and continue to complain."

She had already thought about it, if Yun Fenghuang dared to pester him, she would keep up her efforts and demote him to a talented person... Who would have thought that Yun Fenghuang could endure it?

The queen secretly regretted it, glanced at the palace concubines and waiters who were kneeling on the ground a little further away, and casually ordered a reprimand. The reason was very good: "She saw Wei Ronghua and others arguing but did not do anything. Instead, she wanted to watch the fun. How could it be the least bit wrong? The harmony and friendship that sisters in the palace should have!"

At this time, the palace servants came to report that everyone in the main hall had arrived, except for Concubine Zheng who was exempted from greetings and Concubine Yue who was on probation. They heard that something happened in the side hall and asked if they could come and take a look.

"I have taken care of everything." Empress Ji said, "Let them sit down. I will be there soon."

So he watched the palace maid in charge step forward and scolded her harshly. After everyone said that she was trembling with fear and did not dare to raise her head, she stood up and asked the palace concubines to follow.

In the main hall, Concubine Shu turned her head and whispered to Concubine Xin. When she noticed the Queen's entrance, she quickly took the lead and left her seat to salute.

"It's getting late, let's stop chatting and go to the Queen Mother's place first." Empress Ji didn't go to the phoenix throne anymore, so she called at the door and said hurriedly, "Lest the Queen Mother see us going late and think something happened." ”

When Concubine Shu heard this, she took advantage of the situation and asked, "My queen, are you just going to the palace?"

"The newcomers are young and ignorant." Empress Ji said lightly, "I have already told them... If Concubine Shu feels it is not enough, I will give them some more rules later."

"Your Majesty, please don't misunderstand me." Concubine Shu said hurriedly, "I am just worried that my clan sister is young and ignorant and may offend Your Majesty."

Queen Ji chuckled and said, "Let's go."

Concubine Shu frowned slightly when she saw that Yun Fenghuang lowered his eyebrows and showed no intention of leaning towards her. She took the opportunity to catch up with the queen and whispered a few instructions to Yun Qingman beside her.

So Yun Qingman did not get on the chariot with Concubine Shu this time, but walked to Yun Fenghuang at the back and asked in a low voice: "Fenghuang, what happened to the side hall just now?"

"I was promoted to the throne yesterday, so Your Majesty made a special trip to Xi Xingxuan." Yun Fenghuang said, "Then..."

Wei Ronghua, who was right in front of her according to his position, was immediately furious. Before she could finish her words, he turned around and warned: "I have grounded you for a month, how dare you say that!"

"Why don't you dare?" Yun Fenghuang asked back, "It's as if you and the Gui Cai people were not punished."

Wei Ronghua said: "We only punished you with small punishments but punished you the most among the three of us. This shows that the empress is aware of everything!"

Yun Fenghuang glanced at her and said, "What do you know? I love you so much and punish me so much. Your Majesty punishes me the most. It shows that your Majesty loves me the most!"

Wei Ronghua: "..."

It's so shameless!

what to do?

Seeing Yun Fenghuang turned around and continued to talk to Yun Qingman: "Then in the side hall just now..."

"Can I beg you to stop talking?!" Wei Ronghua gritted his teeth and wanted to strangle her to death, but in the end he could only soften his tone angrily and make peace, "It's not like we have anything. You, as you said, we were also punished, why are you so unwilling to let us go!"

Yun Fenghuang asked in surprise: "Why don't you give up? Qingman is like my biological sister. She cares about me and asked me what happened just now. I can't tell her anymore?"

Wei Ronghua said angrily: "But you are just talking nonsense!"

"Why am I talking nonsense?" Yun Fenghuang asked back, "If you weren't jealous that His Majesty went to Surong Palace instead of Yijia Palace yesterday, why would you want to embarrass me? We have no grievances at all, right?"

"There is no grievance or enmity, so I haven't done anything to you." Wei Ronghua whispered, "Isn't it that your arrogant look makes people uncomfortable? Besides, according to the rules, after you enter the side hall, you will not Should you give me a gift? This was originally just a small matter. If you hadn't been willing to let it go, you wouldn't have been able to get in front of the Queen at all! Now it's okay, the three of us didn't escape, are you happy?"

Yun Fenghuang chuckled and said: "Oh? You mean you are trying to push me, so I should endure it. If it makes a big fuss, it will be my fault, right?"

Before Wei Ronghua could speak, she added, "It was you who started it. You just play when you want to, and you don't play when you don't want to. How can such a cheap thing happen?"

"So you are definitely going against me?" Wei Ronghua's expression changed and his voice became colder, "You think you are great just because you cheated Concubine Yue? Let me tell you, Concubine Yue has a high status, but she is only six Gong is notoriously stupid, if you think that Ben Ronghua and her are the same thing, you are wrong!"

Yun Fenghuang said: "Where did Rong Hua get the confidence to compare himself with Concubine Yue? Concubine Yue is your majesty's favorite after all. As for Rong Hua, your majesty didn't even stay at Xi Xingxuan yesterday. He went to Surong Palace too. , I’m afraid you don’t remember Rong Hua from Yijia Palace at all. How dare you look down on Concubine Yue?”

Wei Ronghua... Wei Ronghua's chest rose and fell. It took him a while to resist the urge to roll up his sleeves and fight her on the spot. Suddenly, he looked at Yun Qingman, who looked surprised and wanted to break up the fight but didn't know what to say. "Yesterday, Your Majesty went to Xi Xingxuan to congratulate you." This girl from the clan was promoted to the throne, but it turned out that it was inconvenient for her to serve His Majesty, so she persuaded Your Majesty to go to Surong Palace."

She sneered, "Ronghua is just an outsider to her, Yun Fenghuang. Yun Meiren, you are her sister of the same race. It is said that you two were very close before entering the palace? At that time, you were from the Yiguo Duke's mansion. My daughter, she is just a cheap relative of the Duke's palace. It's clear who is superior and inferior. You must have taken good care of her when we got along. But now that she has entered the palace, she would rather help Xue Meiren, whom she doesn't know at all. I won’t help you either, Yun Meiren, it’s not Ronghua who is instigating dissension. You’d better be on guard against such a so-called good sister in the future!”

Yun Qingman was stunned for a moment, and said: "This...Xue Meiren's immortal appearance is even more beautiful than me. I thought...well, it makes sense for Feng Huang to advise your majesty to go to Su Rong Palace first. I Pu Liuzhi...ah...I definitely didn't mean to say that Wei Ronghua, you are also Pu Liuzhi!"

She covered her mouth in panic and subconsciously looked at Yun Fenghuang for help.

Yun Fenghuang obliged and said with a smile: "What Qingman means is, Wei Ronghua, you have beautiful face, strong muscles and beautiful bones..."

The words were still in the air, but she changed the topic and said, "It's just that everyone is attracted to their own eyes. Even if you are as beautiful as a fairy, there is nothing anyone can do if Your Majesty doesn't like to go to Yijia Palace, right?"

Wei Ronghua couldn't hold it back this time, he just cried out loud in the queue.

...So after a long while, in the Nongrou Hall of Mianfu Palace, the empress dowager Ji, who was masked with frost, glanced coldly at the row of concubines kneeling below. After a while, she turned her head slightly and asked empress Ji: "Are these all here?" Who is this person from?"

Empress Ji lowered her head and said respectfully: "If you go back to your mother, you belong to the whole family."

"They are all women from the big family!" Queen Mother Ji suddenly raised her voice, "If the queen hadn't said so, the Ai family would have thought she was a shrew from the market! The queen had already punished her for causing trouble in Yanfu Palace, but she still hadn't I’m not ashamed to reflect, and I didn’t stop on the way to the Ai family! Are the rules in your home just in vain, or is it that the palace servants sent to teach etiquette before entering the palace neglected their duties?!"

As soon as the Queen said this, a group of principals left their seats and knelt down to apologize: "I'm scared!"

"What are you afraid of?" Queen Mother Ji said coldly, "Since the new couple entered the palace, no one, old or new, has been quiet! The Ai family saw this and kept silent, just to see if you were going to cause trouble. When? As a result, in just a few days, I came to Mianfu Palace crying... Will the next step be to make trouble in front of the Empress Dowager and disturb her elderly care?!"

The queen hurriedly said: "My daughter-in-law doesn't dare! My daughter-in-law knows her crime!"

"...Queen, what do you think we should do?" After all, the cheap daughter-in-law was her biological niece. Queen Mother Ji was silent for a while, but she still wanted to give the queen face and asked all the high-ranking concubines to get up. She said slowly, "Anyway, the flower and bird envoys from all over the country have already The selected ones will be sent back to the Imperial Capital in the near future. There has been such turmoil in the palace, won't it be a joke to the poor family members? "

When Wei Ronghua and Yun Manqing heard this, they trembled subconsciously. Empress Dowager Ji's words made it clear that she wanted to be dealt with severely, or even killed as a warning to others!

If it weren't for the majesty of the Empress Dowager, Wei Ronghua would definitely cast a resentful look at Yun Fenghuang at this moment: If it weren't for this man's endless efforts, as for dragging her into disobeying her in front of Mianfu Palace, causing Empress Dowager Ji to be furious?

"Queen mother, we can just pay back Wei Ronghua and Tongxia Palace Yunmei." When Wei Ronghua was trembling and full of anger, Empress Ji pondered for a moment, wondering, "But Huzhu Palace Yunmei is what Empress Yuan said she wanted to compensate for, and my daughter-in-law I just agreed yesterday, this...?"

Empress Dowager Ji snorted: "The empress dowager, a loving mother, has always been soft-hearted. If she were normal, she would just repay it, but..."

There must be no good words to say next. The atmosphere in Nongrou Hall was on the verge of breaking out. Everyone subconsciously held their breath and concentrated, waiting for the Queen Mother's judgment - at this time, someone suddenly walked in from the door of the hall!

Everyone subconsciously looked at it and breathed a sigh of relief!

Even Empress Dowager Ji, who had a calm expression on her face, relaxed, and her voice suddenly changed to a soft tone: "Minghui, aren't you going to find Jinyun Penglai and the others? Why did you come back suddenly?"

Princess Minghui, whose weight was estimated to be more than two hundred kilograms, supported the hand of the chambermaid and crossed the threshold with some difficulty. Although the princess looked indescribable, her voice was as clear and gentle as an oriole in an empty valley. She said cheerfully: "I'm going to the Jade Palace, just in time. My cousin brought something for us today. Erchen and his two sisters sent people to Taichu Palace to thank their cousin. They heard the news that cousin Zhen was going to hold a wedding ceremony, so Erchen came to ask about his mother. Can I go to watch the ceremony then?"

"..." There was a silence in the palace. Queen Mother Ji pondered for a moment, then smiled and asked, "Do you know who your cousin's master is?"

After hearing the princess say "Mr. Lingshan" without any thought, the Queen Mother's expression changed for a moment, and she turned to the Queen and told the Queen, "You can handle some trivial matters later."

He didn't even think to say more about this matter, and directly ordered everyone except the queen to disperse, "The Ai family has something to say with the queen and princess, you can just go."
