After Yun Fenghuang came back to Xi Xing Building, she realized that she had forgotten to make sure from Qi Jiulu whether the people behind Chao’s Family was Duke Yi’s Mansion or not...
Not only that, she didn’t even ask about the recent situation of Xie’s Family.
“How could the bastard be so muddled?!” Yun Fenghuang certainly would not admit it was she who forgot the right thing for being jealous. She blamed it on Qi Jiulu, saying, “He hasn’t made any progress in the past three years!”
At this time, it was going to be dawn. Several days ago, Queen Mother Ji was ill and therefore the Empress allowed them not to greet her for three days, and today was the fourth day. Yun Fenghuang pretended to be sleep in her bed and then awakened by Xi Le for dressing up.
“Queen Mother Ji has recovered, but she is still in low spirit, so today we should not disturb her.” Empress Ji was thinner than before in the past few days. Yun Fenghuang secretl
Yun Fenghuang thought that in her heart as she brought Princess Minghui back to Hu Zhu Palace in the end.She was out of choice. The princess cried all the way and didn’t allow them to either look for servants or send her back. But Yun Fenghuang couldn’t leave her alone or stand with her on the palace road all the time.“My aunt entered the palace yesterday and discussed my marriage with my mother.” Princess Minghui said. Yun Fenghuang had not decided yet whether to intervene in this princess’s thing, so after taking the princess to Xi Xing Building and calling Xi Jing to serve tea and pastries, she didn’t intend to ask more and tried to arouse the princess’ thoughts by saying other topics.However, after Princess Minghui drank half a cup of tea, maybe because of the bitterness taste, she voluntarily confided, “They all planned to match me with Cousin Minggan, and my mother even let me go to Tai Chu Palace frequently later on.”Yun
On the way to Tai Chu Palace, Princess Minghui introduced her two sisters to Yun Fenghuang. The girl in light green palace costume was Princess Jinyun, Gongxiang Xing, whose mother was Great-Concubine Wu, who was Concubine Wu in the last generation; and the one who hadn’t spoken all the way in light yellow palace costume was Princess Penglai, Gongxiang Zao, whose mother was Great-Concubine Shen, who used to be Mei Ren Shen in the last generation.Because they two were not qualified to raise the princesses, Jinyun and Penglai were both brought up by Queen Mother Ji.In accordance with the rules of the palace, they moved to Yao Yu Palace where the unmarried princesses lived when they were ten years old. As the birth daughter of Queen Mother Ji, Princess Minghui still lived in Mian Fu Palace, but she often went to visit them.Because they three shared similar age and grew up together, they had very deep affections. At the moment, seeing that Princ
Ji Minggan didn’t stay long before he asked for leave, saying that since the three princesses and the concubine were here, maybe the Emperor did not have much time to study. As a studying companion, he wanted to go back to serve his parents early, instead of being idle here.Emperor Chunjia smiled as he agreed, and let him send a warm greeting to Marquess and Marquise Haixi.Seeing this, Zheng Fengchen also had the intention to leave, but before he mentioned it, the Emperor turned his head to Yun Fenghuang and said, “Aren’t you going to see the turquoise hibiscus? Come on. I will take you to see it.”Yun Fenghuang was stunned and then said with a smile, “Thank you, My Majesty.”Hearing this, Princess Jinyun was happy and said, “Brother, is that hibiscus about to bloom? I want to see it too!”“You have already seen it.” Emperor Chunjia stood up, smiled and said casually, “You can see it later by yourself. As it is the f
Yun Fenghuang came to her sense and felt a little ridiculous, so she flicked her sleeves and said, “I should not disturb My Majesty and Jie Yu Yue. I’m leaving now.”Then she turned to go, and had no intention to appreciate the turquoise hibiscus near her.Yuan Lianniang didn’t have the intention to stop her to question, but stepped forward to hold the sleeve of Emperor Chunjia and asked... After she walked away for a short while, she still could hear the sharp cry over there with the Emperor’s desperate explanation. She twitched her lips unconsciously, and immediately thought of, “How could Yuan Lianniang come out of Hu Zhu Palace?”Jie Yu Yue should still be grounded, right?Was it because of Queen Mother Ji?She thought about it for a while, and walked to an unfamiliar territory unconsciously. The guards not far away crossed the axes and asked her to stop, because if she moved forward, she could enter the Inner Cour
Then Qi Jiulu came with a mask in the evening.Facing Yun Fenghuang’s eyes full of reproach, Gongxiang Xiao coughed, “You can’t see Qi, can you?”Then had met her requirement, so why was she still unhappy?... It must be Qi Jiulu who came up with this idea!Yun Fenghuang secretly grinded her teeth and was about to speak, but she heard Gongxiang Xiao say, “Someone submitted a report today to attack Mr. Lingshan.”“Oh?” She suddenly did not care about Qi Jiulu’s coming. Her eyes flashed, and she said, “Who did it? What did he say?”Gongxiang Xiao said, “It was a person from the Censorate Department (an ancient investigation authority). He said that he received the revealing from a fellow who came from Mr. Lingshan’s hometown.”The content revealed was very horrifying: they suspected that the old lady of Wei’s Family didn’t die of illness. It was Wei Changkong who poisoned his mother for escaping
“I can’t go with you.” Yun Fenghuang didn’t hesitate and said exactly the same as three years ago, “My sister’s derailment has caused great trouble to my family. If I elope with you, that means two young ladies of Xie’s Family do not obey the woman’s rules. If so, is there any place for Xie’s daughters in the north?”“Not only Xie’s Family, my sister and I were raised my mother, so even my mother’s natal family, Jiang’s Family, would be shameless and criticized... Thanks to them, Xie’s Family finally gave me the opportunity to go to Dijing!”“Because I was the legitimate daughter and had been engaged with you since childhood, I had a superior position in the family, and was greatly favored by my father and brothers. As for the discussion of family matters, even my legitimate cousins could not attend if they were not aspirant. But I could hear it beside my father since I was seven or eight years old... My family tried their best to raise me, but I paid them
On the way back to Xi Xing Building that night, Yun Fenghuang was absent-minded. Xi Le didn’t say anything at first. When they were approaching Xi Xing Building, she comforted Yun Fenghuang carefully, “You can rest assured, Gui Ren. Shizi is a reliable person.”Yun Fenghuang just smiled.Did the maid think she was worried that after Gongxiang Xiao came to power in the future, he would not help her?In order to stop Qi Jiulu looking for Yun Fenghuang, Qi’s Family had used a lot of methods several years ago.As a Zongzi, he was grounded in family temple for half a year. He could not go out unless he admitted his mistake. Many people thought that at most after three to five months, Qi’s Family would give up first for their few offspring. But in the end, Qi Jiulu compromised first.Although there was Ms. Jiang’s plan, it also showed the determination of this tribe.They placed great expectations on their Zongz
Yun Fenghuang glanced at the maid. She smiled and said to Xi Jing, Xi Le and the other servants, “When I newly joined the harem before, I was pushed into a pool in front of the Ning Bi Hall. Thanks to those dignitaries including Empress Dowager, three queen mothers, His Majesty and Her Highness, it was more scared than hurt. But the one who did it has never been found out...”Xi Jing preemptively said, “It turned out to be so! I didn’t expect that this despicable maid would dare to offend you with the excuse of Jie Yu Yue. How bold she is! Even death cannot atone for her offence!”At the moment, she called Chen Sheng and several other eunuchs, and planned to take the maid to Yan Fu Palace to complain.Chen Sheng was a little hesitant and didn’t move for a while, but Chen Jing and Chen Zhu, the two young eunuchs, responded quickly. Before the maid ran away, they rushed to catch her. Then they went to Yan Fu Palace. Empress Ji was too lazy to dea
