“Although I am humble, I’m still cordially invited to join the Imperial Harem.” Yun Fenghuang calmly said, “At this moment, both your servants can speak. Why can’t I?”
She turned to the Empress, and respectfully saluted, saying, “I just think that Your Highness has a prominent family. Getting married with His Majesty at a young age, you are regarded as a born phoenix (queen) with nobility. As noble as you, Your Highness, how could the homophonic sound of my name offend you? If this name truly offends you, what about those people who make phoenix-shaped hairpins and robes with phoenix pictures? Should all people whose surnames are Long (dragon, as a symbol of the Emperor in ancient China) or Feng (phoenix, as a symbol of the Empress in ancient China) change their names?”
“You want me to avoid the taboo. Come on. Let’s do it together.” Yun Fenghuang thought.
Long and Feng as surnames had existed for many dynasties. No former emperor or empress ha
“What are you doing here?” A maid of Ning Bi Hall was mad to see Yun Fenghuang and Nian Xuan, “Consort Yue has no time to talk with you. Just leave and mind your own business.”Yun Fenghuang smirked and walked around her in a circle, tiding her sleeves, and indifferently said, “You didn’t even get in to report. How do you know that My Lady has no time? Are you trying to bully her when she is grounded? How dare you, a little maid, to make the decision for your master?”The maid was enraged, and thought to herself, “So, you do realize that Consort Yue is still grounded!”Although there was no explicit stipulation in the palace that the people grounded couldn’t summon anyone, the hidden rule was that the one who was grounded could meet nobody except for her personal servants. In this way, she could show that she was penitent and had no time to handle other things. Thereby, she didn’t need to hear any report of the arrivals. Moreover, it would be f
“Cheng Gui?” Nian Xuan froze for a moment. But when she was about to ask the reason, Yun Fenghuang had already made a smile on her face, and said joyfully, “Hurry, greet him!”After a while, a little eunuch of Emperor Chunjia walked in quickly, and also smiled, “When His Majesty passed by Tai Ye Pool after school just now, he saw a few beautiful apricot blossoms on the other side and wanted to go around to appreciate them. I remembered that there is a hundred-year-old apricot tree in your yard, so I told this to His Majesty. Hearing this, His Majesty said that he didn’t finish the game of chess with Cheng Gui last night!”Yun Fenghuang went forward with a smile and saluted him, saying sweetly, “Thank you very much. I will keep your kindness in my heart.”“I really don’t deserve this.” The little eunuch avoided her salutation immediately and murmured, “It’s just a matter of coincidence... “Then, Cheng Gui, you make the preparation first, and I’m
Emperor Chunjia knew that Consort Yue had set rules for the people of Hu Zhu Palace, but he was not clear what the rules were.Although as his childhood sweetheart, Consort Yue had neither cared about showing her nature in front of him, nor specifically told Emperor Chunjia how she treated those little bitches in the palace. She was merely a consort now and had limited time to be with Emperor Chunjia. Therefore, she cherished the time very much and wouldn’t waste it to talk about others, especially the low-grade concubines who were unimportant in her eyes.Therefore, Emperor Chunjia did not know Yun Fenghuang’s real intention to dance for him. He thought it was only the concubines’ minor means to gain his favor.At this moment, Cheng Gui had changed her clothes and came out. This set of clothes seemed to be more gorgeous and elegant than the previous one. She walked lightly and smiled, seeming like she was about to perform one more dance, so th
At midnight, when Consort Yue awakened from her dream in Ning Bi Hall, she happened to see a familiar figure moving in within a blink.Instead of being panic, she choked with sobs, “It’s so late. You shouldn’t come here.”As she said, she got up and lighted up a lantern beside her bed, which was used for bathroom use at night, and then a pale face showed under the light. With tears in her eyes, she looked more dejected.“I worry about you, so I have to see you in person.” Emperor Chunjia sounded a bit exhausted. He came forward and held her hands, and then the two of them sat down on the bed. The Emperor said softly, “I just haven’t seen you for two days. Why do you look thinner? Haven’t eaten anything?”Consort Yue smiled bitterly and said, “I have no appetite.”“That’s exactly how Queen Mother Ji and the Empress want you to suffer.” Emperor Chunjia stretched out his hand to fix the shattered hair at her temples, and
The candlelight was dim, but a few red eye-catching scratches across the Emperor’s chest could still be seen under the light.At this moment, the blood had dried up, but it stuck to the middle clothes. Consort Yue did not notice it when she unfolded his clothes, so the wounds bled again.Yuan Lianniang covered her mouth subconsciously, and her tears could not stop falling.She did this with a jealous mind originally, but she did not expect to see such a scene. No wonder when she fell into Emperor Chunjia’s arms just now, he was clearly stiff for a moment. She thought he had psychological reactance to her at that moment, but now she knew it was just because she pressed these wounds.“That bitch!!!” Consort Yue who originally hated Yun Fenghuang very much wanted to rush to Xi Xing Building immediately and tear up that bitch! Fortunately, she kept the sanity in her mind.As an experienced woman of sexual life, she had had
After a while, Noble Consort Shu forced to smile and said, “No wonder that Noble Consort Gui came late yesterday, and has not come yet today. It turns out to be such a happy event!”Empress Ji responded lightly, “My Majesty has no offspring so far. The Empress Dowager and the three Queen Mothers are very worried. Thanks to Noble Consort Gui’s pregnancy, I am relieved.”Since the two had started the topic, other concubines began to respond and said something such as that was good news, which showed a good sign for the country, etc.Since Noble Consort Gui did not have to pay respect, the rest of the concubines had arrived within a while. Then, the Empress led them to Mian Fu Palace.Queen Mother Ji of Mian Fu Palace had already received the news. She did not look very pleased. But in accordance with the rules, she still told the Empress to take more care of the one in Yan Lan Palace, “I have some nourishing herbs with high quality.
After a while, Yun Fenghuang and Nian Xuan were led to the Empress.After they paid respect to the Empress, the latter on the noble throne smiled lightly and asked before Yun Fenghuang spoke, “Cheng Gui Yun, are you here to plead guilty?”Yun Fenghuang respectfully said, “Yes, Your Highness.”“You are here alone?” Empress Ji said softly, “It’s just a hairpin, and you come here specially. You do know the rules!”It sounded like a compliment, but Yun Fenghuang knew that if she answered improperly, she would be very embarrassed at least, or at most... um, she could not imagine how the Empress would deal with her.After all, for the past two days, she first went to Tong Xia Palace to find Noble Consort Shu, and then came over to pay respects under the leadership of the latter. However, at this moment, she came here to plead guilty alone. Such behavior would be considered ruthless. Moreover, since the hairpin had been broke
When Yun Fenghuang and Nian Xuan arrived at the gate of Ning Bi Hall, two unfamiliar gate-keeping maids looked at them with hostility.However, they didn’t do anything improper or say anything bad before Yun Fenghuang approached. Seeing that she was about to enter directly, they reached out to stop her, saying politely, “Cheng Gui, please stop. Now My Lady is grounded. Without the permission of Empress Dowager, Queen Mothers, His Majesty or Her Highness, we cannot let you in.”Nian Xuan thought that these people might have been warned by Qing Die.“I dare not disturb My Lady.” Yun Fenghuang also said politely, “Here is the thing. When I came here before, a maid of My Lady had commanded that it was not allowed to play any instruments or dance in Hu Zhu Palace. However, His Majesty invited me to visit Tai Ye Pool. So, I have to ask My Lady for instruction. Can I dance for His Majesty beside Tai Ye Pool?”The two gate-keeping maids’ e
The first day of the newcomer's entry into the palace, Chunjia rested in the Raccoon Flower Hall, which is dedicated to the true beauty of the face.From the next day onwards, it was time to honor the newcomers one by one.Otherwise there is a suspicion of neglecting the families behind the newcomers.This day Chunjia did not intend to come to the splendor of the Palace, but the cloud wind Huang halfway to send food, ran into him casually counting Yin Qu, so come over to sit for a few moments to inform the cause, to go to the palace to spend the night anyway, the two palaces away from the close, separated by a Yijia Palace.However, such a sit on the meal time, looking at the son of heaven accompanied the real princess with the dinner, holding the tea slowly and methodically sipping, but also did not have the slightest intention to get up, left and right can not help but be a little uneasy, are to take the corner of the eye to aim at the goose guide, hope th
Yun Feng Huang was slightly stunned when he received the news that the second consort was seeking an audience, and then frowned.At this time, Xie Mang happened to be playing in front of her, saw the situation and ran over with a halfunraveled ninelink ring and asked curiously, "Auntie, this second consort's family history is excellent, quite popular with the royal courtesy, and now taking the initiative to be soft, is it not good?""What do you children care about these?" Yun Feng Huang smiled and touched her head, mouth angry at this niece nosy, but still for her to explain, "five consorts into the palace is the trend, can not be blocked. But they are raging, in aunt's position of power are very unfavorable. In order to avoid the people underneath the low worship high, listening to their family history, looking at the favoritism of the Empress Dowager Mother of Mercy on the reversal of the past, aunt this is in their first day in the palace to give color ....""S
Smoky Orchid Palace Xin Li Hall, although there has been no major construction, in the Xuan Fei a cadre of daughtersinlaw under the command of some pick up, but has been very different from the consort at the time.Not only in the temple furnishings style is very different, even with the flowers and plants in the court, also has pruning material.Even people who are familiar with the place may not recognize it at first sight.Spare a thought, Xuanfei's nursemaid Yin still has some regrets, "Your Highness first came to the palace right, if it is on the big move, not too frivolous ... Otherwise, the steps of the few clumps of flowers and trees, should also be replaced.""Almost done." Xuanfei Luo Hanyi hand on the railing, a little bit of survey of their own land, do not care to say, "His Majesty does not like Zheng, do not ask him to come here to think of the old man, swept away the interest on the good. The other, the day will come, slowly tidy up, but there
"I've been coming over at this hour for the past two days, what's there to do and what's not to do?" Chun Jia first leaned over and touched the top of Xie Mang's hair, smiled and told her to flatten herself, and replied, "Do you want to drive me away?"Yun Feng Huang smiled and said, "Your Majesty thought to where? Not today's new sisters into the palace, concubine thought you have to go to see them first?"As he spoke, Qing Xu and the others had already come up, taking Xie Mang's hand and leading her down.The Imperial Consort and the two of them walked inward as they spoke and took their seats in the hall."When is there a rule in the palace that when a concubine first enters, I must rest over?" Chunjia snorted, took the tea handed up by the courtesan sip, lazy, "people are eager to come to me, you're good, a little bit of a breeze, I haven't said anything, can't wait to close the door of the splendor of the Palace of the Qing Dynasty, will be shut out of m
Spring in March in the palace city is still craggy, but the branches have blossomed a bit of yellow and green buds, brushing through the temples of the wind also metamorphosed to the harsh, more or less show some tenderness, the whole palace inside and outside, a spring is full of flavor.Sweet white glaze lowpainted magpies in a tea cup of green and blue slightly rippling, repeatedly stained with phoenix flower juice of the fingertips brightly colored, more and more show that the catkin holding the tea cup is slender and white, race of snow frost Empress Yuan took the bowl of tea, surveyed in front of the face of the playful posture and dignified, from head to toe is not her familiar and respected the style of the new consort of the great lady, showing a satisfied smile.While she spoke to encourage the effort, the next Wei Heng Yan raised his sleeve to cover his mouth, whispered for the introduction of cloud wind Huang, "... This is Luo's daughter, the maiden name of
"This matter is troublesome." The next day, at the Duke of Yiguo's residence, the Duke of Yiguo, who had received the news, frowned slightly and said to his wife, "Before, Zhao was raised by the Empress, and now that Ji is in decline and disliked by His Majesty, the Empress, no matter how reluctant she may be in her heart, does not dare to slow down the heir who is credited to my son's name; however, now that the person has come into the hands of True Concubine, it is not easy to say."Han twisted her handkerchief uneasily, "But since the person who proposed to put an heir under my son's name was Concubine Zhen, she wouldn't have intentionally caused Zhao's miscarriage? Besides, my son is no longer alive, so even if she doesn't want to offend us, she won't treat Zhao's heir badly?"Wing Guo Gong said, "True consort indeed will not do so ... just this hand of the Queen, but it is like borrowing the hand of true consort, will drag us into the water ah! The next harem fight
At Jun Jia's request, Empress Qu's birthday passed in waves.In the end, Yun Feng Huang feel overly upset, privately sent a subcongratulatory gift to the Jia Shan Palace, than last year's birthday of Queen Yuan's congratulatory gift slightly cut down the kind of."The mourning family is actually not lacking in these." After all, she is the empress dowager, or Chunjia's birth mother, despite Chunjia's own request not to give her the same treatment as Empress Dowager Yuan, on this day, the consorts still have to come to Jiashan Palace to ask for peace and congratulations.But the curve of the Empress Dowager to maintain the usual silence and cold, will be sent away, only stayed in the cloud wind Huang meal, the reason is, "I'm afraid that you are not used to the meals here, so that the real consort on behalf of you to stay with the grieving family well, your heart grieving family know, are good children."Waiting for people are gone, but sighed and said to Yun
On the first day of the first month, the Son of Heaven, complete with crown, up the great dynasty, by the hundred officials to pay homage.Afterwards, the kings and ministers each pay homage to their ancestors.Returning to the harem after noon, he went to the Spring Lazy Palace, and met with Empress Dowager Yuan, while Empress Qu and a cadre of princesses and county princesses and consorts had gathered here for a long time to wait, and together they paid their respects to the Son of Heaven on his new jubilee.Chunjia just returned from the temple, still wearing a grand robe, looking not like the elegant and gentle, majestic and solemn.Sitting on the side of the two empress dowagers, his eyes swept over the three kneeling nine kowtowed internal order women, saw the head but still holding the sick Empress Ji, slightly frowned.After exempting himself from the salute, he said mildly, "the first month of the first day of the month exactly auspicious, the
"Your Majesty, you have misunderstood! Concubine is just afraid that Mang'er is worried, that's why I casually put her off." Yun Feng Huang painfully thought to himself afterward, "This is not afraid of revealing the stuffing, so that's why you have to send her away in a hurry?"Junjia grunted, "Cunning!""Concubine innocent ah!" Yun Feng Huang swore, "Concubine to have that ability to figure out the holy will, will still this long time can not see you?""Who knows if you are capable of figuring out the holy will, but impatient to do so?" Junjia glanced at her and said quietly.Yun Feng Huang jawdroppingly said, "The world is so stupid?"She said this so swiftly and justifiably that Chunjia was all but laughed at, saying, "Not stupidly!""That concubine here is certainly not such a person." Yun Feng Huang seriously said, "Concubine was praised for being smart and resourceful when I was a child, and his majesty also said the same about his concubin
