Chapter 84 Starting the summer banquet
“How could I lie about such a big thing?” When Yun Fenghuang was guessing, at Mian Fu Palace which was brightly lit, Queen Mother Ji, who had slept but was hurriedly wakened up by the maids, coldly stared at the concubine in colored clothes kneeling on the ground.
Jie Yu Lu was relatively young among the concubines who joined the Imperial Harem when the Emperor got married, and was in her 20s this year. Although she was one of the hostesses with her adoptive father Marquess Qingping as a backer, she was not largely invisible and was always ignored by others.
That her family background was relatively inferior among those concubines was one of the reasons and the other one was about her appearance.
Jie Yu Lu had an infant name called Qidao. She was fair-skinned, and had a good set of facial features which looked beautiful when being viewed separately but quite ordinary together.
Even with the delicate makeup, she was still invisible

Among the five islands in Tai Ye Pool, Small Fang Hu and Small Ying Zhou occupied the largest areas. As roads in Small Fang Hu twisted and turned and the land was not spacious, it was not a suitable place for holding grand banquets.In contrast, Small Ying Zhou was endowed with a flat ground which was big enough to accommodate those people participating in the summer banquet.When people and Empress Dowager arrived at the pier not far from Yan Fu Palace, several pleasure-boats had been waited for a long time. It could be seen that those boats were not used for a long time and were dressed up temporarily. The paint was bright and some incense were used for covering the odor of the paint. At this moment, though they did not approach, they already smelled a strong aroma of the incense.As Empress Dowager was older, she frowned slightly.Queen Mother Ji also covered her nose with a veil and looked at the Empress reproachfully, “Even if

Hearing that, Yun Qingman said automatically, “But Fenghuang and...”“You are also here?” The maid, as if she just saw Yun Fenghuang, smiled and invited, “Duchess Yi mentioned you with the wife of Shizi just now. Would you like to go together?”Yun Fenghuang shook her head, and said to Yun Qingman, “Qingman, you can go, and I won’t bother you.”She let Miao Cai, who accompanied Yun Qingman as a maid to join the Imperial Harem, leave here. After that maid and Yun Qingman left, she asked Miao Cai to find a eunuch to inform Yun Qike next door, “Tell him that I want to talk with him.”After a while, Miao Cai returned, saying that the eunuch had passed the words and Yun Qike would meet Yun Fenghuang at Mei Wu Pavilion near Tai Ye Pool.Yun Fenghuang let Xi Le reward her a pair of silver bracelets, saying, “Your master is talking with her family happily. If you go back to her at this time, you will disturb her. You can follo
Empresses in the Palace Chapter 87 A brazen person
When Yun Fenghuang returned to the banquet in front of Shi Cui Building, Duchess Yi had gone, and only Ms. Han, the wife of Shizi, was chatting with Yun Qingman casually. Seeing Yun Fenghuang coming, they got up and greeted her.“Qingman, how are you feeling now?” Yun Fenghuang sat down and asked Yun Qingman with concern, “Are you still uncomfortable? I’ve asked Xi Jing and Miao Cai to go back to bring medicines for you, and they will be back soon.”Yun Qingman froze for a moment, and said, “It would be inconvenient. I’m much better now... Have you found the maids of Her Highness? Would you bother her?”“Sister, you can rest assured.” Before Yun Fenghuang replied, Ms. Han said smilingly, “Her Highness favors Pin Yun so much and everyone knows that. For her, it’s a piece of cake, isn’t it? What’s more, since Pin Yun always stays with Her Highness, she must know how to behave in front of those people. Am I right, Pin Yun?”Yun Fenghu
Empresses in the Palace Chapter 88 The Emperor’s thought of killing Pin Yun again
“... What do you want?” The young man in the red robe said the third time to let Yun Fenghuang speak out her idea. He was no longer calm but helpless.He was handsome and tall. When he frowned at the moment, despite more disgust, he showed a charming temperament of being pale and fragile.At least Xi Le couldn’t help being softhearted when she saw this.However, Yun Fenghuang had no feelings at all. She only glanced at him and then said, “The jade pendant at your waist looks priceless.”The young man was cold, threw it to her instantly, and asked indifferently, “Are you satisfied?”Yun Fenghuang didn’t pick up, so the jade pendant fell to the ground in front of her. Xi Le picked it up and gave it to her after cleaning it. It was really priceless even in the eyes of laymen. It was made of flawless white jade and carved into the shape of a little deer lying on a bluestone and holding glossy ganoderma in the mouth. It fel
Empresses in the Palace Chapter 89 The Emperor took over the reins of government
As Yun Fenghuang was suspicious and tried to find an excuse to find out if something had happened, a group of well-armed guards appeared. When seeing them, they all sighed with relief. Then... Yun Fenghuang and Deng Chengzhai were “invited” to have a talk in the vihara not far away.“Pin Yun, where did you go, whom did you meet and what did you do after you left the banquet?” In a separate room of the vihara, two eunuchs and two older fine-dressed maids asked smilingly. Their attitude was polite but made Yun Fenghuang feel that she must answer them.Yun Fenghuang frowned slightly, and quickly glanced at the door... The guards who “escorted” her over just now stood outside motionlessly. It seemed that they were on guard, but they could hear clearly the conversation indoor since the doors and windows were open.It was better to say that they were keeping watch on her instead of doing their duties.Did someone know that she asked Xi L
Empresses in the Palace Chapter 90 Held on! We could win!
Yan Fu Palace, as the residence of the Empress, was a magnificent palace where the servants were diligent. Even the flowers and plants there were all trim and leafy.Though the Emperor had taken over the reins of government, Yan Fu Palace was as magnificent as before.Yun Fenghuang was led to the gate of the palace. After waiting for a while, she was invited inside by a maid.“I’ve thought that His Majesty has forgotten you and planned to remind him. However, he mentioned about you just now, saying that you should come back.” Empress Ji probably just came back from the outside because she still wore Diyi, with a piece of jewelry on which a red phoenix held the beads in the mouth. But she looked quite tired and much thinner than before.With a weak voice, she pointed to the embroidered stool not far away, “Sit down.”“Your Highness, what’s going on?” After Yun Fenghuang thanked Empress Ji and sat down, she couldn’t wait
Empresses in the Palace Chapter 91 It was time to get even with her
Yun Fenghuang was startled, and blurted, “Your Highness, do you suspect that His Majesty...”“Officials of the Ministry of Punishments, the Highest Judiciary, and Imperial City Division also participated in the summer banquet.” Empress Ji pinched her forehead and said tiredly, “They thoroughly inspected the scene and the vicinity under the watchful eyes of the people, and concluded that someone shot my grandmother with a 3 dan bow (dan: a unit of weight, 1 dan ≈ 120kg) from a hundred steps away, but this murderer has not been found yet.”A female from an ordinary family would not know what the 3 dan bow meant.However, people in the north were good at horseback riding and shooting, and even women knew about it. Yun Fenghuang, guided by her father and brothers, practiced horseback riding and shooting when she was only about seven years old. At the age of ten, she could take a small bow and drove falcons and hounds to participate in hunting. Alth
Empresses in the Palace Chapter 92 I was the main contributor to your personal rule of the government
The situation was different from the past. When Emperor Chunjia did not take over the reins of government, most people in the Imperial Haram, except for those who were born in humble families and had no patron, would look down on him. Yun Fenghuang was not the only one who sat in the imperial carriage with him.Even after sitting down, some people would not think that this was a special gift from the Emperor...Perhaps they would murmur that without the support of their families, Emperor Chunjia would be a nobody. Therefore, the treatment of sitting in the imperial carriage with him did not deserve mentioning...However, now the Emperor took over the reins of government. Even the road to Hu Zhu Palace had been repaired. Therefore, it could be seen that the current situation...Yun Fenghuang thought she could take temporary setbacks, so she readily thanked Emperor Chunjia and sat on the imperial carriage.“You have been
