It was more distant and complicated moving from Zi Quan Palace to Xuan Qing Palace than that from Xi Xing Building to Zi Quan Hall.
However, they moved faster this time.
The reason was that not only the Empress sent enough manpower to help, but people in the harem offered their help.
Even Yuan Lianniang had been staying in Ning Bi Hall, without any intention of finding fault with her.
“You must have heard of me. I will not tolerate unreasonable and unfair things.” It just took six or seven days that the repaired and cleaned Huan Hua Hall had been completely new. Yun Fenghuang was in light bluish green clothes and with white-jade head ornaments. Although she wore an informal dress, when she looked at those servants who were kneeling down on the ground, they dared not look up at her and just lowered their heads deferentially, “I’m not going to maltreat you if you do things well. If you are double-dealing, I can forgive you, but the p
The next day, when they got out of Mian Fu Palace, Yun Fenghuang walked close to the Empress’s sedan and whispered, “Your Highness, I want to tell you something.”At this time, the weather was very hot. Although in the Empress’s sedan there was an ice basin, the Empress could not take this anymore after walking from the entrance of Mian Fu Palace. She said, “You can tell me in my palace.”A moment later, Yun Fenghuang’s sedan following the Empress’s sedan stopped at Chong Chang Hall. They walked in one after the other. The maids had already prepared to give them cool hand kerchiefs and the ice-cold drink which was made by soybean, sugar and ice. They felt refreshed.Yun Fenghuang couldn’t help but said, “How clever and capable the maids are in your palace! My maids are not like them. When I go back in such a hot day, they are so busy that they don’t even know what to do, let alone giving me cool handkerchiefs and the ice-cold drink.”
Therefore, a little while later, Yun Fenghuang arrived at Tong Xia Palace with two maids. She said, “I thought my sister would not see me anymore, so I didn’t dare to come to Tong Xia Palace. Now since you are not mad at me, and no matter how far we are apart, I shall come to pay respects to you, not to mention that we are in the same palace.”Noble Consort Shu thought she would not come, so she asked Yun Qingman to go back to Small Jiao E Building. When she heard Yun Fenghuang’s words, she looked down at a maid. The maid understood and went out quietly and immediately.Noble Consort Shu smiled faintly, and asked her to sit down, “No wonder Her Highness likes you. There are a lot of mild-mannered concubines in the palace, but among them, there are few honey-lipped concubines like you.”Noble Consort Shu said ironically, but Yun Fenghuang did not care about it at all. She said with a smile, “If I had been smooth-tongued enough before, I wouldn’t
“Can’t you stop making trouble for me?!” It was very hot. The Imperial Carriage where several ice basins had been placed in it stopped under the steps. The Emperor got off it and walked into Xuan Qing Palace, and then he got sweaty. After sitting inside, he took the cold handkerchief offered by Yun Fenghuang, and put it on his face for a moment. Then he felt that it refreshed him.Then he threw the cold handkerchief into the silver basin not far away, and asked angrily, “Do you really think that I have a good temper and I will tolerate you to be mischievous?”Yun Fenghuang’s eyes widened, and she said, “Is there someone who makes irresponsible remarks and tells on me, Your Majesty?! I have never done anything bad in my life, and when have I been mischievous!”“Pin Yun and Noble Consort Shu live in Tong Xia Palace. Why did you ask her to move to Xuan Qing Palace?” The Emperor was not in the mood to argue with her about how much guilty things she
In the evening, Yun Fenghuang waited in a side hall which had nobody to live currently in Xuan Qing Palace. Gongxiang Xiao came alone.“A few days ago, my father recommended Xinyun and other guests to be officials, and then he gave everyone a house.” Seeing Yun Fenghuang looked at him silently, Gongxiang Xiao touched his nose and coughed, “Now, he doesn’t live in Prince Regent’s Mansion anymore. It’s not convenient for me to communicate with him, and you said last time that you don’t want to see him. I think I can’t make you unhappy every time. So I didn’t intend to call him this time.”Yun Fenghuang forced a smile, “Thank you for your kindness.”Gongxiang Xiao said, “You’re welcome. By the way, anything urgent?”“I heard that Prince Regent has cooperated with His Majesty these days?” Yun Fenghuang smiled, “As a saying goes, when an uncle and a nephew are the same mind, they have the power to cut through metal... Even Ji’s Family i
Yun Fenghuang heard him, but she pretended that she didn’t hear. Then she went away without any hesitation.Returning to Huan Hua Hall, Xi Le whispered to comfort her while unraveling the black cloak for her, “I am sorry. Just because I said that the matter is urgent, Shizi might think something was wrong, and had no time to arrange Childe Qi to come together.”“It’s okay.” Yun Fenghuang waved her hand and said, “I didn’t intend to tell him about this matter today, so, he’d better not come.”As she said this, her expression was somewhat gloomy. Xi Le noticed that and her movement became gentler, “You are wronged.”Yun Fenghuang sighed, and didn’t say anything.However, under the long drooping eyelashes, her eyes were full of calmness and had no emotion.She deliberately did not mention Qi Jiulu this time, because she just wanted to see whether Gongxiang Xiao would bring him here or not?And Go
After a while, Emperor Chunjia walked in, surrounded by eunuchs.Consorts had to go to Yan Fu Palace and then to Mian Fu Palace to pay respect, and then they could come here after dismissed concubines. After that, it was almost noon, and the Emperor had finished his morning meeting for a while.At this moment, he put on his casual clothes: a sapphire-blue brocade robe with flowers whose branches were woven with gold lines, a white jade crown engraved with auspicious clouds, a broad white jade belt inlaid with a gold eagle and a bear around the waist where a colorful silk braid was tied with a pair of emerald rings, and a sachet that was not exquisite hung on it. He looked handsome and charming.“How does His Majesty have the time to come here?” The Emperor let them rise and then he sat down on the throne given by the Empress, and ordered the consorts to return to their seats. Beside the Emperor, some smart maids had arranged a pair of chairs fo
The Emperor watched the fun originally. At this moment, he paused, stared at the Cai Nv and seemed to be obsessed. However, just a moment, he turned to be calm, and immediately noticed the Empress’s movement, and then he smiled slightly, “Empress Ji?”“Your Majesty, this kind of beauty is rare in the Imperial Harem.” Empress Ji thought quickly and smiled, “Even if she was born in a poor family, it’s a pity for her to start with a Cai Nv. How about promoting her as a Feng Yi?”She did not intend to lower her voice deliberately when she said this, so, people in the hall heard it clearly. Regardless of those consorts, the eight Cai Nv were somewhat shocked. Obviously, they had learnt a lot these days in Xiu Zhuo Palace, and knew that it was very difficult to be a Feng Yi at the beginning.Among them, that gorgeous girl was stunned, and bowed her head subconsciously. Nobody knew whether she was shy, or she wanted to hide her expression of ecstasy.
After a while, the former maid came back to tell Yun Fenghuang that new concubines were waiting outside.“It’s too hot today. Call them in.” Hearing this, Yun Fenghuang sipped tea and commanded with a smile.Soon, a line of concubines in colorful clothes came in.Yi Xing’en, who had been famous in the Imperial Harem in the past two days, stood in front of others. Although the girl behind her was less beautiful than Yi Xing’en, she was also charming and cute. It was Qu Hongzhuan that Wei Hengyan mentioned.Although the others were all beautiful women in the eyes of ordinary people, they were still inferior to Yi Xing’en and Qu Hongzhuan.Obviously, all the Cai Nv had learned the etiquette of saluting the hostess. After entering the hall, they lowered their heads, walked slowly in an obedient manner to the red steps, knelt down and said sweetly, “Jie Yu Mao, wish you young and lucky forever!”“Rise.” Yun Fen
