“...” They looked at each other. After a while, Yun Fenghuang said wistfully, “It turns out that the Majesty is so weak. An outsider can enter his palace freely.”
Gongxiang Xiao looked at her indifferently and said, “Do you want to break the promise?”
“How is it possible?” Yun Fenghuang said, “I was promoted yesterday. Her Highness hasn’t even said anything about adding servants to me. I can’t directly ask Her Highness for that, can I? What if Her Highness suspects me? After all, I have always been clever and gentle in front of Her Highness...”
“Are you clever and gentle? Why did you quarrel with other concubines at the side hall in Yan Fu Palace?” Gongxiang Xiao laughed scornfully and interrupted her, “Are you still clever when you quarreled with others in front of Mian Fu Palace?”
Yun Fenghuang sighed, “I have no choice. After all, although I am clever and gentle, I can’t stand the repeated provocations from others.”
“Importance?” Gongxiang Xiao couldn’t help laughing at himself. “I do not know who can help me, so, I choose to look for your help. You can imagine how low my status is in my father’s mind.”After he said this, he was regretted. Although he was in a bad situation, he was still the heir of Prince Regent. Yun Fenghuang was just a concubine. She did not deserve to listen to his complaints.He was about to change the subject. At that time, Yun Fenghuang said, “Do you think your father attaches more importance to your brother now? But have you ever thought that it will be foolish for your father not to take advantage of the power of his wife’s family? Just as the saying goes, with the skin gone, to what can the hair attach itself? If something happens to Prince Regent, can you still be safe?”Gongxiang Xiao smiled sarcastically and did not answer her question. He only said, “You don’t beat around the bush. Just tell me what you plan to do.”
Empress Ji returned to Yan Fu Palace after the midday.When Empress Ji was about to get out of her sedan after passing through the palace gate, the leading maid, left in the palace before, stepped forward to support her. The maid reported, “Your Highness, Mei Ren Yun has been here before midday, saying that Xin Qing, a maid, disappeared suddenly when they were on the way back from Mian Fu Palace. She said that she has searched Xin Qing nearby but found nobody. She dared not to go back Hu Zhu Palace, so, she came here for your decision.”Empress Ji frowned, “Disappeared suddenly? What’s the matter?”“Mei Ren Yun said that Xin Qing walked behind her and everything was okay on the way. When approaching Hu Zhu Palace, she wanted to order something to Xin Qing, so, she turned back but found nobody was there!” The leading maid continued, “I have sent someone to investigate, and it turns out that Rong Hua Wei and several maids indeed had seen Xin Qing
Emperor Chunjia stared at Yun Fenghuang for a while, and then smiled suddenly, “The Empress has really spoiled you. Shouldn’t you be grounded for a month? Why do you go around casually?”If he didn’t say that, Yun Fenghuang would almost forget that she was grounded.After all, when she went to Yan Fu Palace just now, Empress Ji did not mention it at all.If things happened as what she had discussed with Gongxiang Xiao, it was likely that even if she would stay at Hu Zhu Palace obediently a few days later, the Empress would not agree.“Your Majesty, you misunderstood me. I dare not to disobey Her Highness’s order.” Yun Fenghuang pretended to protect the Empress’ dignity, so, she changed her mind, “Here is the thing. Queen Mother of Mercy asked Nian Xuan to work for Chun Yong Palace, so, I had to let Xin Qing be with me. However, Xin Qing disappeared on the way to Hu Zhu Palace from Mian Fu Palace! I was so scared that I went to Yan
“... Aren’t you afraid?” On the way to Yan Fu Palace, Rong Hua Wei wanted to ask something a few times but failed. In the end, she couldn’t help but whisper to Yun Fenghuang, “I even dare not sleep tonight, for I may have nightmares after falling asleep.”Yun Fenghuang said calmly, “Xin Qing disappeared for a short time, so, she looks the same as she was before, except the livor mortis. If one is soaked in water for several days, it is really terrible to see.”Hearing this, the maid who led the way looked back. Rong Hua Wei even opened her eyes wider and said amazedly, “Have you seen it?”Yun Fenghuang said, “Of course.”“How could you see that?” Rong Hua Wei looked at her suspiciously, and there was even a hint of admiration in her eyes, “That kind of scene... Your family allowed you to see?”“You probably don’t know what a corpse looks like on hot days after being soaked for half a month?” Yun Fenghuang smiled slight
The trial at Yan Fu Palace that day ended without any results. Consort Xin was very unhappy when she left, and her skeptical eyes almost swept everyone. She came from a disinterested family. Affected by her family culture, she had acted inconspicuously since entering the Imperial Harem. She consciously disdained to fight with other concubines, but it didn’t mean that she was timid!The result, however, was not satisfactory. She led a peaceful life at Cheng Yue Palace by playing the qin (a seven-stringed plucked instrument in some ways similar to the zither) and making tea, but someone still framed her up!They thought she was a coward, didn’t they!Empress Ji noticed Consort Xin’s facial expression, comforting her perfunctorily, “I know you well...”“Because of languor, I often stay at Cheng Yue Palace and contact little with sisters in other palaces.” Consort Xin smiled unexpectedly and said indifferently, “You might not really kn
That day when Yun Fenghuang left Yan Fu Palace, she had been promoted to be a Gui Ren. As for the punishment of being grounded… it fizzled out certainly.Empress Ji didn’t think what she did was improper, because Queen Mother Ji ordered her to make a final decision. Now she indeed made the final decision, didn’t she?Empress Ji raised Yun Fenghuang’s rank this time by using the excuse that Xin Qing died distressingly, so, her master should be comforted.Whether others believed it or not, Empress Ji thought so.Of course, Yun Fenghuang had to pay something.“No matter what methods you would use and even you would pester him endlessly, I want to see the evidence that His Majesty did something secretly, especially something that could be discussed at the Imperial Court.” Empress Ji told Yun Fenghuang seriously, “If you can do that, I will let you be one of the noble consorts. At that time, whether you want to use your sur
In the rear hall, Consort Yue and Emperor Chunjia sat apart, playing Chinese chess on the table.Consort Yue was holding a chess piece, and her jade-like fingertips were more immaculate against the black piece. However, she wore an angry look on her face. After a while, she messed up the pieces, saying, “I don’t want to play anymore!”She dropped the black piece after she said that, stood up and walked to the round huanghuali-wood table inlaid with marble carved with a crane and a deer in the spring. Then she sat down at the round table and frowned slightly.Emperor Chunjia followed, held the square silver teapot with a mandarin duck-shaped top on the table, poured two cups of tea, pushed one to her and said, “Then we won’t play. Let’s talk.”Consort Yue bit her lip, and said, “Could Mammy Zhu convince that bitch?”“... It’s hard to say.” Emperor Chunjia pondered, “It’s mainly because we can’t figure out what she wants
When Nian Xuan was sent back to Xi Xing Building, although she had been diagnosed and bandaged, it was still difficult to hide her injuries.Xi Jing, who was just sent by Yun Fenghuang to take back the meal, was shocked, “What happened? Wasn’t she supposed to serve Queen Mother of Mercy? It is said that Queen Mother of Mercy is generous and merciful… Is it?”Yun Fenghuang ignored her, and enjoined her to take care of Nian Xuan these days, “She is asleep now because she took the sedative medicine. Maybe she would wake up at night. At that time, you can help her if she has anything in need... You two can share the same room.”Xi Jing said, “Gui Ren, such a big deal, don’t you tell Her Highness?”Somehow, she emphasized the words “such a big deal” like she was indicating something.“What a big deal?” Yun Fenghuang snorted softly, and said, “She is just a maid who is not even worth mentioning... Do you think Her Highness i
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
