Chapter 127: Can't Fall Behind

"Although the Fangyin Hall and the Xingxin Hall are not very far away, they are not close to each other. There are pavilions, towers, pavilions, mountains and rivers in the middle, and the palace people who come to the palace less often may not be able to go through." Lan Lan In Zhouyeyu Pavilion, Wei Hengyan waved a round fan, and said to Yun Fenghuang with a smile, "We, Yuan Cairen, are really destined to be with His Majesty!"

Yun Fenghuang lazily said: "Maybe the Yuan sisters are destined to be reunited in the palace?"

"But this kind of fate is probably a bad fate." Wei Hengyan covered his mouth with a fan, giggled, and said softly, "Sister, you are now wholeheartedly taking care of Yi Yuwan, and you don't go out, I'm afraid you don't know : Yuan Cairen stayed that day, because the empress hadn't asked someone to clean up the Cuiyin Courtyard, didn't he stay in the Fangyin Pavilion with Yue Jieyu, and followed the loving mother Empress Dowager first?"

"They were originally daughters of the Yuan family, or cousins. We haven't seen each other for many years. They just happen to serve the Empress Dowager together and talk about the family life. How nice? Guess what happened?"

"Are you still arguing with me about this matter?" Yun Fenghuang said leisurely, flicking the foam in the tea bowl in front of him, "As for our Yue Jieyu's name, those who have not entered the palace have heard of it. What to do?"

Wei Hengyan smiled and said, "Then sister guessed wrong this time—Yue Jieyu didn't do anything to that Yuan Cairen!"

Yun Fenghuang was really surprised this time: "She actually held back?"

"Not only holding back!" Wei Hengyan said vividly, "She did something to herself: she sat on the stone steps in the yard all night, even kneeling on the left and right to persuade her, she was indifferent!"

"What about the loving empress dowager?" Yun Fenghuang yelled, "She is pregnant, isn't this forcing the loving empress dowager to persuade her personally?"

Wei Hengyan said: "The loving mother, the empress dowager, has always pampered her. She had already fallen asleep when she received the news, and she insisted on getting up with her sick body. But she held the hairpin against her throat, saying that if the empress dowager takes a step into the yard, she will be killed." Just go straight! How could the Queen Mother be willing to do so? Just eat the night dew heavily, persuading outside the door... In the end, His Majesty received the news, rushed over from the sister, and coaxed the Queen Mother to return to the house!"

Yun Fenghuang smiled and said: "Bengong also said that I haven't heard anything about this matter from Bengong's side. How come you are so clear, and she bothered you too!"

"It's about the loving mother, the empress dowager and the emperor's heir. How can I disturb you?" Although Wei Hengyan was a little cautious, after all, she is a serious lady, but she is not confused when it comes to important matters. She left in a hurry, worried in her heart, so she inquired after the incident. Fortunately, the loving mother, the Empress Dowager, was safe and sound, and although Yue Jieyu insisted on sitting in the courtyard for the whole night, she may be in good health, but the next day was fine. Nothing serious."

"She is probably the best in this palace." Yun Fenghuang said, "Otherwise, look at this palace, how can there be a second person who is pregnant and tossing around like this? Yi Yuwan, I can't help it." Just be careful and be careful, lest there be a mistake!"

When it comes to Yi Xingen, Wei Hengyan can't hide his envy: "The people under my sister's hands are good-looking, and they have a good stomach. Unlike my sister, there are quite a few people in the palace. They have served His Majesty several times. , but nothing happened."

"Since you call me elder sister, and we entered the palace in the same group, let me tell you a few words of my own." Yun Fenghuang now has his confidantes in his entourage, so he can speak casually on his own territory now Too much, and said, "I can't give birth by myself, so I tried every means to recommend people in the palace to be favored, so that giving birth to an emperor's heir will also be placed in my name. In the future, I will grow old and look bad, so I have someone to rely on. But you are not Why do I need to rely on people in the palace to give birth to my own child?"

Wei Hengyan actually thought so too, and said shyly after hearing the words: "It's just that your majesty doesn't go to my sister's place very often, and now another Yuan Cairen comes... My sister heard that although Yuan Cairen is Yue Jieyu's relative My cousin, her temperament is completely different from Yue Jieyu, but she is very gentle and considerate."

One is a concubine's daughter, the other is a concubine's daughter; one's own father is the head of the family and the earl, who made the feudal prince his fiancée at a young age, and the concubine and aunt personally raised the other. A girl...it would be strange if she had the same temperament.

Yun Fenghuang smirked slightly in his heart, and said: "What's the matter with Yuan Cairen, the concubines are probably still confused, we are concubines, who doesn't know what's going on? It's probably because Yue Jieyu is getting more and more unsightly, Xingning Bofu I was worried in my heart, so I followed the way of the loving mother empress dowager, and brought in a sensible person to serve her loving mother empress dowager, so that the loving mother empress dowager would not leave her natal family because of Yue Jieyu."

"And His Majesty's willingness to agree is only because of the empress dowager's face."

"Look, Your Majesty has only been making face for the Empress Dowager for a few days, and will call her a few times. Looking back, it's still a question of whether you will go to Cuiyin Courtyard or not!"

Wei Hengyan came here today just to inquire about the news. After all, since Yun Fenghuang went to the Fangyin Hall to take off her hairpin to plead guilty, it is rumored that the Empress Dowager Yuan appreciates her knowledge of her mistakes and can correct her mistakes. Yi also understands better than others.

Hearing the words at this moment revealed joy, and said, "Really?"

"If you don't believe me, just look at it." Yun Fenghuang smiled softly, "The loving mother, the Empress Dowager, really loves His Majesty, how could she force His Majesty to always go to Yuan Yuniang's place for the sake of Uncle Xingning's House? Besides, no matter how nonsense Yue Jieyu is, After all, she is pregnant, so what if she is too impatient and endangers the emperor's heir? Of course, if this Yuan Cairen has the ability to win over His Majesty to linger in Cuiyin Courtyard, that is another matter."

In fact, it should not be possible.

It's not that Yun Fenghuang looks down on the charm of Yuan Cistanniang, after all, she has never met Yuan Cairen until now, she just heard that she is a gentle and beautiful girl, she looks very well-behaved, she is the kind of elder She will be preconceived and have a good impression—as for the actual situation, how does she know?

Just from the standpoint of Emperor Chunjia, he had favored Yuan Niangniang in the previous eight years, and he had already established an image of thinking about his old love and being deeply in love.

Now that he is in charge of the government, it would be inappropriate to dote on a talented person from the Yuan family.

Because when he was infinitely tolerant of Yuan Niangniang, he was still a puppet. At this time, he was biased against Yuan Niangniang, giving people the impression that the emperor still had a bottom line and was soft-hearted. She would not give up Yuan Niangniang because the Yuan family could not help him at that time, nor would she kneel and lick Empress Ji and Ji Muzi just because the Ji family was strong at the time.

So, as a puppet, he didn't indulge in sex and lust, and made it easy for officials in power to ruin their reputation. Although it wasn't that reassuring, his kindness and ruthlessness made Ji and his like feel: Well, such a woman's benevolence It's estimated that it won't be a big deal. Taking ten thousand steps back, even if it falls into his hands in the future, he probably won't make things happen...

But now that he has started to deal with the government affairs, if he is still so blatantly partial to Yuan's concubines, it will be very unfavorable for him to win over other people.

After all, if the emperor favored the concubines from the Duke of Yi's mansion, everyone would understand, because the Duke of Yi's mansion was really loyal to the emperor, and it was also an indispensable support for the emperor in the temple.

Yun Zhao's loyalty, power status, and ability are enough to make people admit that Yun's daughter deserves special treatment.

But Xingbo's mansion is not a climate at all, and Yuan Niangniang has completely ruined the reputation of Yuan's daughter in the previous court and harem, and the emperor still favors Yuan's daughter, even if the Yuan's daughter who is coming in now is not the kind of tossing, It is difficult to convince the public, and it will make people suspect that the emperor is not wise enough to abolish public affairs for personal reasons.

This is very fatal to Emperor Chunjia who has just begun to gain the upper hand, whose position has not yet been stabilized, and who has such a deadly enemy as the regent watching over him.

After all, what he focuses on now is to be young and vigorous, wise and martial...

No matter how bad Yuan Yuniang is, she has been with the emperor for so many years, and he can calmly use it as a pawn, let alone Yuan Yuniang who just came?

Yunfenghuang asked Wei Hengyan to rest assured to dress up and wait for the emperor's luck: in the current situation, the emperor will stay in Cuiyin courtyard for two or three days at most, and will continue to stay in Luqintai and Lanzhou. Walking between Ye Yu Pavilion and Wei Hengyan's Dan Ruo Ting.

Who said that there are few high-ranking concubines in the harem now, the Ji family has lost his sacred heart, the empress is there, the emperor basically has nothing to do, although the imperial concubine is not loved by the emperor, she had a miscarriage not long ago and lived with a pregnant woman Zhao Chenggui, the emperor is emotional and reasonable, and he will always go to see it every few days.

And Mrs. Yaoning, Lu Jieyu and Jia Jieyu are all old people who entered the palace when they got married, and their status in the emperor's mind is only mediocre. When picking up women to enter the palace before, the most outstanding ones were not under their hands. The emperor would only go there every month or so—probably to save face for the regent, and Madam Yaoning’s place would be a little extra once or twice, but Gu Zhen was not the kind of character who would please people. It's not easy to get close, and if both parties are polite, often the emperor will leave after sitting down for a while.

Needless to say the special case of Yue Jieyu, now the whole palace is watching her jokes...

In fact, the emperor liked to visit Lanzhou Yeyu Pavilion and Dan Ruoting most. The concubines and concubines in the two places were all young newcomers, beautiful and lively, unlike those older concubines, who were respectful, polite, And... without words.

Well, in fact, up to the empress, down to Lu Jieyu and Jia Jieyu, they are all the daughters of everyone, and it is impossible to say that they really have nothing to say to the emperor. After all, when it comes to piano, chess, calligraphy, painting, poetry, and poetry, these few have been taught by famous teachers since childhood. It is absolutely no problem to chat with the emperor, talk about classics and history.

The problem is that because of their father's family, they have had a grudge with the emperor since they entered the palace.

In the previous years, it was not that there were no concubines who wanted to have a good relationship with the emperor, but they were all disturbed by the jealous Yuan Niangniang.

The concubines are all the jewels in the family's palm, they were pampered since childhood, and it's okay to be low-key to the emperor, but to spit on Yuan Niangniang for the sake of the emperor? They really can't do this kind of thing.

Especially at that time, the emperor was still a puppet, and the empress was more effective than him in speaking. Even if there were people who were willing to get close to the emperor because they were betting, or admired the emperor's own demeanor, under Yuan Lianniang's vigor and promise, they all respected the emperor as a guest up.

This respect is like a guest until now, they are willing to find a topic, but the emperor is too lazy to listen: because there are already newcomers in the palace...

After Yun Fenghuang's analysis, Wei Hengyan was overwhelmed with admiration: "It's still my sister who can see clearly, but my sister is just confused!"

"Where does this palace have such ability?" Yun Fenghuang told her in a low voice, "This is the last time when my biological mother entered the palace, she mentioned something to this palace... saying that His Majesty was busy with government affairs in the previous dynasty, so it was rare for him to return to the harem. Can you think about relaxing and hurrying up? But you have also seen that from the Empress Empress down, the Imperial Concubine Empress, Mrs. Yaoning, and Lu Jieyu Jia Jieyu, who is not dignified enough to escape from lack? But Your Majesty looked at the front Aren't there enough wooden censors?"

"No wonder people say that like a mother, like a daughter, my sister is so smart, so she followed her biological mother." Wei Hengyan blinked, and said comprehensibly, "By the way, my sister heard that the young masters of the Xie family, Already arrived in Imperial Capital, plan to participate in Enke next year?"

Yun Fenghuang sighed: "I have been away from home for several years, and I don't know much about it. But I am a little worried. There is no one in the court of Xie family. Even if the children of the family are in high school, there is no one to take care of them, and they don't know that they will be dispatched." What kind of errand?"

"Why should my sister worry about this matter?" Wei Hengyan hurriedly said, "Although my sister's family dare not say anything about it, they still have some old friends in the six departments, and they can talk. My sister takes care of her in the palace like this. How can my sister not reciprocate?"

Yun Fenghuang had been talking with her for so long, and deliberately pointed out that his mother, Jiang Shi, was knowledgeable, wasn't it just for this matter?

Hearing this, he smiled: "Then there will be sister Lao!"

Although this Wei Jieyu was just a cheap ally, the previous turmoil didn't come in handy. But if the two natal families have a relationship and have the same interests in the future, then one day, this person will not be able to advance or retreat with him.

The emperor tried every means to use Enke to plump up his wings, and she must not lag behind.
