Chapter 42 Thunderstorm Is Approaching

"What are you doing watching me?" Seeing this, Yun Fenghuang snorted softly, telling the others to back off, and then said with a cold face, "What happened just now, didn't you all see it?"

Xi Jing and Xi Le looked at each other with a bitter look on their faces, and quickly squeezed out a little smile, flattering him, "Your Majesty, the maidservants are dull... Your Majesty... Your Majesty is talented, but just now, the talent is the same as before. This... "

They really can't see the Sacred Heart!

"Since it's the same, isn't this the end?" Yun Fenghuang picked up the round fan and flapped it, and said calmly, "If His Majesty despises me, do you think he still needs to make false claims with me now?"

It made sense, but Xijing Xile always felt that something was wrong, and looked at each other again, Xijing said with a dry smile: "Your Majesty said so."

Having said that, the feet of the two of them seemed to have taken root, and they refused to walk away.

Seeing them like this, Yun Fenghuang knew that his heart was still in a state of turmoil, he sneered, and slapped the round fan on the table: "Take a step back, even if His Majesty's connivance just a moment ago had other motives, after all, it is our master's. Isn’t it the servant’s confidence?”

Gouging out Xijing's eyes while saying something, "It's better than those who are worthless, and you don't have to regret it anytime, anywhere!"

When Xijing first arrived at Huzhu Palace, she still wanted to overwhelm Yunfenghuang, but Yunfenghuang punished her on the spot and told her clearly: her loyalty to the queen is worthless.

What the queen wants is a loyal servant who can actually do things, not a loyal idiot who is not successful enough but has room for loyalty!

Although Yunfenghuang is still not sure about the emperor's plans...

but……

To make the emperor pamper him so far, and still be willing to act with her, it should be that she will be useful to the emperor in the future... right?

After all, this emperor is not Yuan Niangniang. In his current situation, he probably doesn't have the mood to play hard to catch?

"...What Your Majesty said is true." This time the two maids repeated subconsciously. Although they were still hesitant, the frowning between their brows was loosened a bit, giving rise to some hope: After all, both of them came from the Queen's Palace. Yes, and the waiter was Yun Fenghuang who had always followed Zhonggong closely.

If the emperor gains power, even if the dignified emperor doesn't care about the two maidservants, Yuan Niangniang will definitely not be able to pass the test.

Therefore, he had no choice but to secretly pray that Yun Fenghuang's wisdom and tactics were unparalleled, and that he would pass this hurdle in front of him.

"Okay, you have worked hard these two days. If you have nothing else to do now, go down and let Liuhong and Nianxuan take over." Yun Fenghuang saw that they had settled down, so he ordered, "It just so happens that this palace is also there. Think about what to do next."

Xijing and Xile didn't dare to neglect after hearing the words, they went to the back one after another to replace Liuhong and Nianxuan.

Although Liu Hong was the one Yun Feng Huang took the initiative to come to, but in fact, because Xi Le was Gong Xiang Xiao's real eyeliner in front of Yun Feng Huang, so among the four close-knit ladies, she followed Yun Fenghuang instead. Feng Huang is the most distant.

She is also a taciturn person. Now that she has come and saluted, she just stands there with her hands down.

But Nianxuan grew up with Yun Fenghuang after all, even if she was compared by Xi Jingxile recently, Xu was ignorant when she was in the Xie family before, and she didn't know how to pinch the tip, so there is nothing unconvinced or not at the moment. The aggrieved one, after saluting after arriving, excitedly said to Yun Fenghuang: "Your Majesty, just now the woman in the back told the servant girl, look at this day, it might rain in the evening, and it might rain tonight." Much cooler."

Hearing this, Yun Fenghuang raised his head and looked outside, and he saw that the sky was still clear and scorching sun before, but at some point, clusters of dark clouds floated from the sky, pushing in darkly, turning the originally bright sky into gloom .

"Well, if this rain falls, I'm afraid it will be quite heavy." She thought to herself that the change in the sky seemed to be in response to the changes in the situation in the past two days, and she didn't know if it was a coincidence or a sign?

While thinking this way, he said absent-mindedly, "The doors and windows of your houses must be closed, so as not to wet the luggage and bedding."

Nian Xuan hurriedly said that she had checked before coming and reminded others.

Yun Fenghuang was about to nod her head, but when she caught a glimpse of her expression hesitant to speak, she raised her eyebrows and asked, "What's wrong?"

"Niang Niang, it's raining now, it's likely to be a thunderstorm." Nian Xuan glanced at Liu Hong, thinking about her words, "Look...would you like to speak to His Majesty later?"

"What's the matter with the thunderstorm?" Yun Fenghuang said indifferently, and then remembered that she used to hide in Jiang's arms when the weather was thunderous and lightning, and would not come out until after the thunderstorm... Later, the family sent her to the imperial capital, and Jiang wrote a letter to his sister-in-law to explain this, please pay attention to it.

I still remember the first thunderstorm day after arriving in the Imperial Capital, she sat on the leeward side of the half-opened window and stared at the white rain curtain outside in a daze. Hugging her, while comforting her, she blamed herself: "It's all my aunt's fault. I only read your mother's letter two months ago. I usually see that you are not a timid child, but I almost forgot about it... ...Thanks to your elder sister-in-law who was in front of my aunt, she remembered it when she heard the sound of thunder. Good boy, don't be afraid, aunt is here, and aunt is protecting you... huh?"

...In fact, neither Jiang nor Xie knew that Yun Fenghuang was not afraid of thunderstorms at all. With her personality, she might be startled by rolling thunder when she was young, but when she grows up, how could she really be surprised by such a huge momentum? Yet something that has the slightest chance of harming her scares her?

At the beginning, she pretended to be weak, but it was just to compete with the concubine sister Xie Fenghuan...

When she was very young, she didn't know the difference between herself and Xie Fenghuan, because Jiang never told her about the concubine's affairs. Instead, she always taught her to respect her elder sister. Out of the same.

However, Xie Fenghuan was several years older than her after all. After growing up, Yun Fenghuang had a young friend who was similar to her age, and she didn't play much with big girls like Xie Fenghuan. Xie Fenghuan was raised by her aunt.

At this time, Yun Fenghuang didn't think there was any problem.

Until one time when the steward of the outer courtyard brought in a batch of jewelry, Jiang's habitually let Xie Fenghuan choose it first, and the bracelet Xie Fenghuan picked, Yunfenghuang, was also his eyes. The little friends all told Yun Fenghuang that this should belong to her: "You are the only daughter in your house, and there is a difference between a concubine and a concubine. The one you like should be yours. How can she give it to you?" ? Isn’t this taking something that was originally yours as a favor!”

At that time, Yun Fenghuang was young and naturally liked to pinch sharp things. At first, he didn't take it seriously, but after listening to it a lot, he listened to it.

She didn't know that the reason why these cousins ​​in the next room said this was mainly because of jealousy.

This kind of jealousy stems from their mother's jealousy that the Jiang family is not a family wife but is a family wife; it also comes from their jealousy that they are not as good as the Jiang family's two daughters, whether they are direct or concubine; The jealousy of the originally intimate friendship between Xie Fenghuan and Yun Fenghuang.

In short, Yun Fenghuang began to consciously fight with Xie Fenghuan from then on.

She wants what Xie Fenghuan likes, what Xie Fenghuan wears looks good, she wants what Xie Fenghuan likes to eat, and she is picky about what Xie Fenghuan likes to eat, saying that if it is in front of her, she has no appetite and is not allowed to serve... Xie Fenghuan is very patient with her. When the trouble was too much, I just sighed, and continued to coax and give way when it was over.

But how shrewd is the Jiang family?

She soon noticed the small movements of her own daughter, and then Yun Fenghuang was scolded for the first time in her life.

But she doesn't think she did something wrong, it's a matter of course that the concubines are different, isn't it?

Because he couldn't hold back his mother, Yun Fenghuang became more and more bored with Xie Fenghuan. However, she is smarter than children of the same age, and soon discovered that positive rejection and suppression of this sister would only cause Jiang's troubles and discipline, so she changed her policy not long after: she began to act coquettishly, play cute, pretend to be pitiful, and pretend to be timid...

Sure enough, the Jiang family has nothing to do with such a young daughter. It's not that she can't see Yun Fenghuang's purpose, but... is this her own flesh and blood, or her only biological daughter? Her big eyes slammed into her arms softly and sweetly, what else could she do?

With too much pretense, it is impossible for the Jiang family to be completely aware of the details.

Every time there is a thunderstorm, she cries and clamors for her little daughter who wants her to accompany her and wants her to walk around... At first, she was a little skeptical, but Yun Fenghuang was very persistent and did it every time, so Jiang believed it. .

Later, whenever it thundered and rained, Jiang would put aside all matters and rush to her yard to accompany her without making trouble.

The more Yun Fenghuang is like this, the more motivated she is to continue acting - because in these days, her usually busy mother is completely hers alone.

Sometimes, even her father Xie Jian belongs to her alone.

When he arrived at Mrs. Xie's place, since Mrs. Xie wanted to take pity on her, Yun Fenghuang, who had just arrived, was happy to win sympathy. By thanking her aunt for her cousin, the relationship was greatly shortened.

It's just that she didn't expect Nian Xuan to be so simple and honest, but she also believed it.

"..." At this moment, he was dumb for a moment, and then he said to Nian Xuan, "Your Majesty is busy now, why bother with such a trivial matter? When the time comes, all of you will just stay with me."

Nian Xuan looked worried, but after hesitating for a while, she still agreed with a sigh: "The maid asked someone to prepare some soothing soup?"

Yun Fenghuang thought to himself, why is it so solemn? But there is no need to brush her mind off, so she nodded: "You ask the palace servants outside to go to the small kitchen and explain."

So Nian Xuan went out to confess, and when she came back, she wentssip with Yun Fenghuang. Not long after, a court lady came in and reported that it was Yi Fengyi who asked to see her.

"This is it?" Yun Fenghuang replied casually when he heard the words, and after a while, he saw that Yi Xingen had changed into an indigo palace dress, and had already put on the gold folded silk apricot blossom and pomegranate earrings that Yun Fenghuang had given him in the morning. Ordinary clothes, but she has an indescribable beauty, even the food box in her hand seems to be different.

After she came in, she bowed respectfully, and seeing Yun Fenghuang looking at herself in confusion, she hurriedly said: "Just now I heard that the empress wants soothing soup here, and I have nothing to do, so I went to the small kitchen to make it myself Come here with a bowl, and I hope that your mother will not dislike it."

Yun Fenghuang wanted to laugh when she heard it, because she had just taken the "concubine's own handmade" food box to the emperor for a walk, and she didn't expect Fengyi to use the same method to show courteousness.

"Feng Yi has a heart." Holding back a dry cough, Yun Fenghuang asked Liu Hong to come forward to take the Anshen Tang, praised him softly, and asked Nian Xuan to take a pair of gold-carved jade sash with cloud crane cat's eyes Reward her, "I'm afraid this pair of belt rings won't work well for you now, but it will be about the same when you go to Qishan."

This is another hint that after going to the palace, Yi Xingen will ask the queen to be promoted to the throne, so Yi Xingen showed joy, kowtowed to thank her again and again, and then left happily.

After she left, Nian Xuan laughed: "This Feng Yi knows how to do business."

Wouldn't it be a huge profit to exchange a bowl of cheap, soothing soup made by the emperor for a pair of jade belt rings on the golden chamber?

Yun Fenghuang smiled, she usually didn't care about such petty thoughts, not to mention she didn't have the time to care about it now, she just said: "Originally I planned to reward her with some clothes, but now it's just a matter of passing."

What else to say, there was a sudden thunder outside, Nian Xuan and Liu Hong both changed their faces in fright, Yun Fenghuang's face was calm, but his heart skipped a beat - the master and servant turned their heads to look outside, and saw a clatter The raindrops hit the branches and leaves in an instant, and a thin layer of white mist quickly rose in the courtyard.
