Chapter Twelve Let You Down＜(?????)

In the evening, Yun Fenghuang waited for Gong Xiangxiao, who was alone, in an unoccupied side hall of Xuanqing Palace.

"A few days ago, my father recommended Brother Xinyun and other guests to enter the official position, and gave each person a house." Seeing Yun Fenghuang watching him silently, Gong Xiangxiao rubbed his nose and coughed dryly, "Now He doesn't live in the Prince Regent's Mansion anymore, and it's not so convenient for this prince to communicate with him, and you said last time that you don't want to see him, this prince thinks, you can't make Jieyu unhappy every time, no, this Didn't you call him this time?"

Yun Fenghuang smiled on the skin and said: "Thank you for your kindness."

Gong Xiangxiao said: "It's easy to say, um, yes, what is so urgent?"

"I heard that the Regent is quite cooperative with His Majesty these days?" Yun Fenghuang smiled, "It's the so-called uncle and nephew working together to cut gold... Even the Ji family is troubled by it?"

Gong Xiangxiao frowned: "Father doesn't like me asking about the temple, but I heard from the people below, it should be like this. Why? Has this matter hindered you?"

Yun Fenghuang said: "The newly promoted Jieyu in this palace is in the limelight, how could she be hindered? It's the prince, I'm afraid it's not good!"

"If this son's situation is good, why do you come to the harem to see you at night?" Gong Xiangxiao said indifferently, "Don't worry, brother Xinyun has already reminded you in private, what should I do in my heart?" clear."

Obviously after having Qi Jiulu, what he valued Yun Fenghuang probably was being able to contain Qi Jiulu.

"If that's the case, I won't talk too much." Yun Fenghuang heard it, squinted his eyes, and smiled, "I have a private matter here, which is related to what the Duke of Yi's government did to put me on the list of honorary appointments. ... Please pass it on to your son."

He spoke a few words and explained the ins and outs.

Gong Xiangxiao was surprised, rolled his eyes, and deliberately asked: "Who are you telling?"

"Naturally tell Chao's poor maidservant." Yun Fenghuang gave him a strange look, "Or whom does the prince want to tell?"

Gong Xiangxiao choked, but couldn't hold back: "Shouldn't Brother Xinyun be told about this kind of thing?! Why should I tell Chao Shi instead?!"

"Of course we have to tell Chao Shi." Yun Fenghuang looked at him like a fool, "Can we turn our backs on Duke Yi's mansion now? If we can turn our backs on this palace, there will be troubles already, so who do we need to tell?"

Gong Xiangxiao was puzzled and said: "But what's the use of telling Chao Shi? After she finds out, she will definitely tell Brother Xinyun, and find a way to get Chao Shi out of the broken engagement between you and Brother Xinyun, so as to resolve the grievances with Brother Xinyun , when the time comes, the husband and wife will be intimate... Is this what Jieyu wants to see?"

"Your Excellency thinks so, you underestimate Chao's lowly servant girl." Yun Fenghuang sneered, "This palace and that lowly servant girl have been fighting since they were young, and they know each other's true colors best! I don't think your prince thinks that lowly servant girl Wanting to rob Bengong, is it true that he loves the eldest son of the Qi family to the bone?"

"...The Qi family is the leading family of the northern lands, and the Chao family intends to win?" Gong Xiangxiao really thought so before, although he has always stood firmly on Qi Jiulu's position, but in private he has no feelings for Chao Jingyou. No sympathy: It is said that she is also a beautiful lady with both talent and appearance. The key is the most suitable room, which is as tender as water. However, she is still devoted to Qi Jiulu, but she is not entrusted to anyone, and she cannot be loved by her husband. Alas...

But at this moment, listening to Yun Fenghuang's meaning, it doesn't seem to be the case?

"Yes and no." Yun Fenghuang said, "Qi's family lintel and the identity of the eldest son are indeed worthy of the northern land clans pushing out their daughters to compete. To tell you the truth, at the beginning, my palace clan wanted to let me enter the palace. The eyes of the Patriarch of the Qi family did not move. Chao's lintel is slightly weaker than my Xie family, so naturally he also hopes to marry the Qi family to strengthen the family's reputation."

But Qi knows this well, not only won't stop it, but is happy to see it succeed.

After all, getting married is equivalent to finding an ally, not a burden.

Therefore, there is another important reason why Chao Jingyou has always been thinking about Qi Jiulu, "That lowly maid came from the second wife of Chao's generation. The rules of the eldest house. That is to say, Chao Jingyou's grandparents are still there, and her children and grandchildren have not yet separated. Fang's situation will quickly plummet...Of course, since this lowly maid has married into the Qi family, the situation of their second family is temporarily guaranteed."

But only temporarily.

After all, Qi Jiulu hurried south to the imperial capital as soon as he was newly married. No one in the know knew how embarrassing Chao Jingyou's situation was if he couldn't let go of Yun Fenghuang, and how embarrassing the second wife of the Chao family she was born in was in the clan.

Speaking of Yun Fenghuang's entry into the palace, Chao Jingyou was really relieved, because the tribes in the north would not have thought that Qi Jiulu would be so daring and chase him into the palace!

So the previously unmarried couple couldn't renew their relationship immediately, and Chao Jingyou, the wife of the Qi family, was no longer favored, and finally occupied the status.

And if she becomes pregnant and gives birth to Qi Jiulu's eldest son, not to mention that her position will be stable from now on, she will finally have a bargaining chip in her hand, and she won't have to rely entirely on her family and behind-the-scenes forces for support, and she will have no confidence at all.

"It's just that the palace sent beautiful maids to serve the guests. When the prince delivered the house, he wouldn't be stingy to leave the beautiful maids in the palace and not take them away?" Yun Fenghuang said calmly. Zigui's hope is very slim, and he is uncertain how anxious he is! Now that he knows such secrets, how can he continue to sit and wait for death?"

Gong Xiangxiao subconsciously asked: "If Chao Jingyou knew about this, what would he do?"

"In the case that she doesn't know that Ben Gong asked you to tell her the news, she will first conduct a preliminary investigation. After confirmation, she will immediately send someone back to the Northland to inform my parents, brother and sister-in-law." Yun Fenghuang sneered With a loud voice, "This is to resolve my Xie family, especially my mother's hatred for her."

Gong Xiangxiao coughed dryly, "Lingtang shouldn't be so easy to let her go, right?"

He had never met Jiang's before, but seeing Yun Fenghuang, he felt that that lady should not be a fuel-efficient lamp...

Yun Fenghuang said: "Of course my mother is not such an easy-going person. But my son, don't forget that because of my elder sister, the Xie family's reputation in the North has not been very good in the past two years. Several sisters of the same clan in this palace , I am still spending my youth in the family temple! The Xie family may not forgive Chao Jingyou, the Chao family, or even the Qi family, but if there is a chance to clear the family name, whether it is true or not, it will don't want?"

Seeing Gong Xiangxiao's blank expression, he obviously didn't want to understand how these things are connected together?

She frowned with some distaste, and patiently explained, "Since the reason why I entered the palace was because I was coveted by others and was designed by a jealous woman. The beauty of my sister is not inferior to this palace, so why can't it be because of being coveted by others?" Has someone figured it out?"

"But when sister Ling was soaked in a pig cage, half a box of tokens of love with her adulterer were found." Gong Xiangxiao couldn't help reminding her, "Is this so easy to explain?"

Yun Fenghuang said: "This kind of thing can be sent to two maids at will, and a box can be filled in three days!"

Gong Xiangxiao said: "Then there are love letters..."

"I can write four or five kinds of handwriting, which can be graceful or unrestrained, scribbled or elegant, and I can write down any nasty content my son wants verbatim, and I can even draw a few mandarin ducks." Yun Fenghuang Sneered, "These are nothing!"

Gong Xiangxiao said: "But sister Ling was pregnant with an adulterer..."

"That's all nonsense!" Yun Fenghuang denied without blinking an eye, "As the saying goes, everyone pushes the wall down, and at that time there were still people who said that I am a flamboyant person! Is this the kind of person I am!"

Gong Xiangxiao really wants to talk about the behavior of us living alone and widowed in the same room, you are right!

But seeing Yun Fenghuang's face was cold, he felt that he shouldn't continue to refute, so he silently shut up.

Seeing that he was interested, Yun Fenghuang calmed down a little, and continued: "Besides, my parents are my two daughters, my sister and my sister, and my sister went there at a young age with the reputation of being a celebrity in the North. Bengong came to the Imperial Capital, and he was cautious in his words and deeds, but he still couldn't escape the fate of a confidante... Don't you think it's a coincidence? This clearly shows that someone is plotting against me, Daughter Xie!"

Gong Xiangxiao said in his heart that if this son hadn't sent someone to go to Beidi to find out the truth before, and you said it so firmly, this son would have believed that your sister was a chaste and strong woman who died of injustice.

He coughed dryly again: "Then who do you think is plotting against your girls?"

"Because of my sister, the Xie family was resigned by the Qi family, and the two families who were considered family friends at the beginning have not had any public relations." Yun Fenghuang said, "And I, the Xie family, will be Chao, Those whistleblowers of the Wang family hate it to the bone! My family, the Jiang family, didn’t do anything, but was charged with the crime of being incompetent to teach the daughter and implicating the in-laws! Then, he was hit by a net!"

"The people behind the scenes are naturally planning to do this!"

"If this plot is good, why is it necessary to destroy people's marriages, bad reputation, and sow discord, so that even though there are discords, the neighbors who are generally harmonious are like enemies?"

"Since this plot is not good, what happened three years ago alone has already affected a wide range of people. These three years seem to have been peaceful, but who knows if there is an undercurrent, and all the tribes in the Northland are already planning Next, even, there is a catastrophe of overthrow at any time?!"

Gong Xiangxiao originally listened to it as a story, but when he heard it, his color changed a little, and he asked suspiciously: "What you said...is it true or not?"

"It's not important." Yun Fenghuang disapproved, "Whether it's true or not, we don't have evidence anyway. The point is that it's beneficial to us."

Gong Xiangxiao asked humbly: "Jieyu means that the Qi Chao family will use the truth about your entry into the palace to persuade the Xie family to take the lead, unite with all the clans in the North, put aside the past, and fight against the pressure of the imperial capital together? It's just...it's right to do so. What good do we have?"

In fact, what he really wanted to ask was what good would it do to Yun Fenghuang? He didn't believe that Yun Fenghuang would be a generous master who wins with his rival in love.

Besides, whether it is the Marquis of Qingping whom he and Qi Jiulu suspect, or the Yiguo Duke's Mansion who is about to be appointed by Qi Jiulu, whom Qi Jiulu hates to the bone, neither of them can be dealt with by all the clans in the north.

"When my sister's accident happened, I was not yet old enough to leave the court, and my parents loved me so much that I had the opportunity to avoid the imperial capital." Yun Fenghuang sighed, showing a bit of sadness, "but the rest of the family A sister who is about to leave the court has no such luck. Even if she is lucky enough to marry out, her life will not be very good. Moreover, the nieces of the palace, even if they are old, they have to look good... Daughter of the Xie family What will they do if their reputation is not washed away?"

For the family, for the sisters and nieces who used to get along day and night, this is one of them.

"The harem sons of the imperial court should also know that concubines without family background are like fluff in the wind on the water, with nothing to rely on and nothing to rely on. This palace is lucky to be a concubine, which has already broken the convention. If you want to go further, it is thousands of years. Difficult and difficult!"

The Xie family is just a local prominent family, and cannot be compared with the high-ranking families in the Imperial Capital.

But once all the tribes in the North join forces to advance and retreat together, it will be a big bargaining chip. Not to mention that Yun Fenghuang is completely equal to the noble concubine Shu Concubine Xin Concubine and Mrs. Yaoning, but at least it will not be regarded as an alternative in the palace. It is a special case of accidentally breaking into the circle of concubines. Treat as one of your own.

Yun Fenghuang always remembers the teachings of his teacher when he was young, that plots and heresies are only small ways after all, they can be used, but they must not be relied on. In the final analysis, a majestic victory is the most indisputable and convincing.

There are as many calculations, as many plots, as many hidden secrets, and as many twists and turns in her position as Jieyu, so there are as many future troubles-such a fluke can never happen again.

The next road, if you go on like this, sooner or later you will die without a place to bury!

"This is the second." Gong Xiangxiao nodded slightly. The family and personal future, these two points alone are indeed enough for Yun Fenghuang to temporarily abandon his hatred of Chao Jingyou, but, "Jieyu said it all the time." For you, for the Xie family, for the Chao family, and for the families of the northern lands, but I don't know what benefits it is for this son?"

"What's the benefit?" Yun Fenghuang looked at him strangely, "Qi's son is serving under Shizi's command, his family is thriving, it is the biggest benefit for Shizi, isn't it?!"

Seeing Gong Xiangxiao looking at herself depressed after being stunned for a while, she sighed, "It's not that I look down on your son, but please think about it, your current status in front of the regent, and your stepmother's natal family. You can take advantage of it? It’s a good thing if you take it? It’s better to hide your clumsiness and help the people below, right?”

After finishing speaking, without waiting for him to speak again, he flicked his sleeves, "It's getting late, I've said everything I need to say, so farewell!"

Standing up in three steps and walking away in two steps——Gong Xiangxiao looked at her back with some melancholy: "What if I bring brother Xinyun next time?"
