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
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
“... 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
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
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
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
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
How to award her?This was a good question.The circumstances had changed. Emperor Chunjia had initially taken the authority of an emperor.At this time, if she priced up terribly, the Emperor might not be able to give her what she wanted. Moreover, if he managed to give her what she wanted, he would ask her for more in the future, not to mention liquidating in the future. On the contrary, if she charged a low price, it didn’t make much sense for her current situation. Moreover, regarding Yun Fenghuang’s previous performance, the Emperor would not believe that she was a kind person who asked for no return.The most important thing was that the Emperor must have other intentions when he asked the question.Yun Fenghuang thought for a while and finally said, “My adoptive father intends to serve the Imperial Court, but his official position is low...”“I thought you would take the opportunity to ask for a pro
In the evening, when Yun Fenghuang was yawning, Emperor Chunjia came late.“My Majesty, is the dessert made by Aunt Zhu delicious?” When she heard a maid’s report, she put on silk shoes and went out to greet him with her long hair falling down. “If it’s delicious, I will go to the Imperial Kitchen to ask for similar ones.”The Emperor glanced at her, frowning slightly, “Look at you now.”“What’s the matter?” Yun Fenghuang took a strand of long hair around her fingertip, and looked innocent. She said, “My Majesty, do you mean that I do not bind my hair? This is because it’s so late. I thought that you would not come. Hearing the report of your coming, I am so happy and excited that I couldn’t wait for tidying up my appearance.”She was beautiful, with fair and smooth skin. Her black long hair was falling down to her knees. Perhaps because she just washed her hair, the Emperor could smell her freshness when she got close.
