Chapter 131: Waitress
When Jiang left this time, he still insisted not to let Yun Fenghuang send him off, but asked Qing people from Qingdu to accompany him to the gate of the palace.
The people of Qingdu watched the old master go away, and returned to the Yeyu Pavilion in Lanzhou. Seeing Yun Fenghuang sitting on the top, he was stunned. He didn't dare to disturb him.
"What's the meaning of life, grass grows once in autumn?" After a while, Yun Fenghuang seemed to be talking to himself, "It's just a few decades in a hurry."
"How could it be boring?" Qingdu and Qing people felt their scalps tingle when they thought of Jiang's exhortation just now, and hurriedly persuaded, "Your Majesty is still so young, the future will be bright."
Yun Fenghuang smiled, and didn't seem to care about it at all, but he didn't continue to say that life is no fun, he just said: "In two days, it will be the birthday banquet of the loving mother Empress Dowager, please pay attention to find out, What have the other concubines prepared?"
The loving mother, the Empress Dowager, didn't even have a serious birthday banquet in previous years, and it was all up to the emperor to go hunting in person to support some scenes.
Although the concubines also offered presents, they were all intentional, and no one paid special attention to it—Yuan Niangniang might be more sincere, but she is not sensible, and she doesn't think that her aunt who always dotes on her needs her to please her.
But this year is different.
The emperor still went out to hunt and prepare gifts as usual, but the concubines were more particular about the birthday of the empress dowager at the moment, and they started to go to the poor Huangquan and go to the blue sky to pick up the birthday gifts early in the morning. Jiang just comforted his daughter about this, saying that the loving mother, the Empress Dowager, is not someone who hates the poor and loves the rich, and it's not that she doesn't know our family background, so she won't be able to compete with the concubines of the Ji family and the Zheng family just because Yun Fenghuang can't come up with it I am dissatisfied with the gift.
In fact, she didn't say that Yun Fenghuang thought so, mainly because, even if she was worried that Queen Mother Yuan would be angry about it, she was indeed limited...
So there is no intention of going to war to prepare for etiquette at all, and I plan to deal with it casually when the time comes.
Well, I know in my heart that whatever I want is fine, I still need a little sincerity on the scene.
Yun Fenghuang sighed at this moment, asked someone to prepare the Four Treasures of the Study, and began to copy the scriptures...
There is no way, the value of the birthday gift is definitely beyond the reach, what else can we do if we don't start with the meaning?
After comparing the difficulty of embroidery and scripture copying, Yun Fenghuang decisively chose the latter.
Moreover, her calligraphy is much better than her embroidery skills...
"Madam, something happened in the Fangyin Hall." As he was copying, Xie Hengyu walked in quickly with Chen Zhu, and said in a deep voice, "Just now Yuan Cairen went to see the Queen Mother Yuan, and the sisters and nephews talked for a while, the Queen Mother Yuan Let's go back first. Yue Jieyu took advantage of the situation and went to the front hall, and she didn't know what happened, so she had someone arrest Yuan Cairen and force-feed her with the potion!"
Yun Fenghuang: "..."
She carefully placed the purple hair dipped in gold powder on the pen mountain, so as not to accidentally stain the half of the white statement that was so easy to copy, and then raised her head and asked, "Then the loving mother, the empress dowager...?"
"It is said that he fainted on the spot, and he is still unconscious at the moment." Xie Hengyu frowned, "Baoser Xiaozhu has already rushed over, do you think you should go and have a look?"
Going is definitely going, out of concern Yun Fenghuang didn't change her dress, and directly led Qingdu Qingxu out the door.
In just this moment, a group of people had already crowded inside and outside the Fangyin Hall, not to mention the empress had already arrived, Empress Dowager Ji, Empress Dowager Qu, and even Empress Dowager Empress Dowager came to sit in person in person!
The originally spacious hall was filled with water, but Yuan Lianniang's face was pale with disheveled hair, and she knelt on the ground with a big belly. Judging from the dense beads of sweat on her forehead, it was obvious that she couldn't bear it anymore.
But whether it was the three empress dowagers, empress dowager Ji, empress dowager Qu, or the waiters on the left and right, it was as if they hadn't seen it.
Yun Fenghuang was startled when he saw it, and after saluting like a ritual, he stepped back and looked around calmly, trying to find a suitable person to ask the ins and outs, when there was a voice from the palace staff outside, it was Chun Jia God rushed over.
"Help Jieyu get up first." The emperor glanced after entering the door, and ordered Yan Yin before saluting, "Then send an imperial doctor to see if the fetal gas has moved."
"Emperor, you usually love Yue Jieyu and Ai's family and don't say anything." Seeing this, Empress Dowager Ji frowned and said displeasedly, "But this time, sister Yuan..."
Emperor Chunjia rolled up his sleeves and gave a salute to the elders. He immediately interrupted her and said in a soft voice: "Empress Yuan is very worried about my childlessness. Ruoyue Jieyu is pregnant with something wrong. I'm afraid it will be another incident when Mother Yuan wakes up."
She glanced at the empress dowager above again, "The emperor's grandmother has always said that the emperor's heir is the most important thing. Mother Yuan always respects the emperor's grandmother, and always remembers the emperor's grandmother's words, dare not or forget!"
The Empress Dowager Ji wanted to say something, but the Empress Dowager looked at her, pursed her lips, and said nothing.
While speaking, the staff of the Fangyin Hall had already helped Yuan Niangniang out, Chunjia didn't ask what had happened, and said briefly: "I'm worried about Mother Yuan, so I'll go in and have a look."
But went straight to the inner room.
Seeing this, Yun Fenghuang hurriedly followed, and said in a low voice: "I will accompany Your Majesty."
The atmosphere in the inner room is now stagnant, and the emperor and concubine just crossed the threshold, when they heard Empress Ji's voice inside, asking the imperial physician solemnly: "... When will the empress wake up?"
"Your Majesty!" The imperial physician was considering his words to answer, when he saw the emperor turn out from behind the screen, and everyone in the room hurriedly saluted.
Chunjia waved her hand and asked the queen, "How is it?"
Empress Ji glanced at Yun Fenghuang, seeing that the emperor didn't intend to tell her to avoid her, she paused, and said: "The imperial doctor gave the injection, and now the breathing is much more even, but I don't know when I will wake up."
As he spoke, he glanced at the previous imperial physician.
The imperial doctor tremblingly said: "Return to Your Majesty and Your Majesty, the Empress Dowager was ill before..."
When the emperor came to Qishan Palace before, Empress Dowager Yuan never accompanied her because of illness.
Later, the emperor fell off a cliff and disappeared, and the queen mother came to protect Yuan Niang and his wife because of illness. She was tired and worried, so that the emperor came back, and the queen mother passed away once because of her slack.
During this period of time, it looked safe and sound, but in fact it was just a superficial appearance.
In fact, Queen Mother Yuan's body has not recovered.
This time I was angry again about the two nieces, wouldn't it make things worse?
The imperial doctor's words were euphemistic and euphemistic. It probably meant that the Empress Dowager Yuan would not wake up until tomorrow, and after waking up, she hoped that she would be able to get up after taking medicine for two days, and her daily life would be as good as before. impossible things.
This time, we must take good care of our children, and we must not raise them for a year or so... Then it would be another national filial piety.
Chunjia's expression was ice-cold, and Empress Ji frowned frequently, saying, "How can this be done? Yue Jieyu is going to give birth at the end of the year, and there will be no Empress Yuan by then..."
"Then what's the use of the queen?" Before he finished speaking, the emperor suddenly looked over like a knife, and said sharply, "Is it the responsibility of the empress, the middle palace, or the responsibility of the mother of Yuan, a queen dowager?! "
"...The concubine knows the crime." Empress Ji didn't explain, and knelt down to plead guilty.
Yun Fenghuang sighed in his heart, and also knelt down.
Chunjia closed her eyes, and when she opened them she had regained clarity, and said slowly, "Get up."
After the Queen and Yun Fenghuang stood up one after the other, he was silent for a while, and said, "Mother Yuan is not feeling well. According to the rules, I should serve the sick bedside to show my filial piety. I'm afraid I won't be able to get away. The Empress presides over the Central Palace, but she also lacks the means to separate herself. The imperial concubine just had a miscarriage, so she can't take care of herself..."
Empress Ji listened, clenched her hands in her sleeves subconsciously, but her face was calm, she lowered her head and said: "What your majesty said is that I think it's better to let Mrs. Yaoning, Mao Zhaoyi, and Lu Jieyu and Jia Jieyu return the favor." After Wei Jieyu takes turns serving Mother Yuan, what does His Majesty think?"
"The queen can't be ignored." The emperor looked at her, his tone was gentle and considerate, his expression was as warm as the spring sun in March, and he said calmly, "Mrs. Lu Jieyu and Jia Jieyu are all in the palace. The old man has been with the empress for many years, so the empress must be able to use it easily. Mother Yuan always likes to be quiet, so I'm afraid it would be bad for her to wake up and see if there are too many people. Let Mao Zhaoyi and Wei Jieyu take turns!"
Yun Fenghuang agreed without waiting for the queen to open her mouth, and suggested with a smile: "Your Majesty, if the concubine and Wei Jieyu can't get along occasionally, in fact, Yuan Cai is young, so he can rest for a few days or so. Those who can go to the empress dowager to fulfill their filial piety."
"Yuan Cairen has just entered the palace." Who knew that Chunjia glanced at her, and said calmly, "Today, I have been greatly frightened again, so I'd better raise her in Cuiyin Courtyard. My concubine and Wei Jieyu have to work harder, When you turn back, the Queen and Mother Yuan will both have rewards."
Hey what's going on?
Yun Fenghuang was surprised, she mentioned Yuan Cistanniang mainly because she had never seen this one so far, and she wanted to take advantage of the situation to find out.
I didn't expect the emperor to refuse...
It's fine if it's another concubine, this is Empress Dowager Yuan's own niece, and she just entered the palace through the empress dowager's way.
The emperor didn't go to Cuiyin Courtyard these two days, and he could still say that Yuan Yuniang was not the type he liked, but it would not work to let Yuan Yuniang come over to serve the Queen Mother... Well, this is because the Queen Mother doesn't like Yuan Yuniang either, or because she is afraid that the Queen Mother will see Yuan Yuniang Just think of the scene where the Yuan sisters killed each other?
But if Empress Dowager Yuan didn't like Yuan Cistanniang, why did she allow her to enter the palace?
If it was because she was afraid that the Empress Dowager Yuan would fall in love with the scene, on the one hand, Yun Fenghuang felt that the Empress Dowager should not be so fragile; Show favor what...
Yun Fenghuang turned around in his heart, bowed his head and said: "Yes. It is only my duty as a concubine to serve the loving mother empress dowager. Your Majesty and the loving mother empress dowager don't think the concubine is stupid. They are already overjoyed and dare not ask for any more rewards."
Chunjia was in a bad mood at the moment, and didn't say anything when he heard the words, turned his head and whispered a few words to the queen, and went out together to report to the empress dowager and the others - before going out, he told Yun Fenghuang to stay Come down and accompany Queen Mother Yuan.
Empress Dowager Yuan won't be able to wake up until tomorrow, and this move clearly shows that she deliberately doesn't let Yun Fenghuang follow her to the front.
Yun Fenghuang suspected that the emperor going out at this moment might want to have a fight with the empress dowager, and it would be inconvenient to have a concubine by her side.
"Could it be that what happened this time has anything to do with the Ji family?" She stayed in the quiet inner room and had nothing to do, she just knelt on the footrest and thought, "Or is your Majesty just trying to vent his anger?"
Just as she was thinking about it, she saw the big palace lady who had brought her the shoe and hairpin when she came to plead guilty, dipped willow and beckoned her to speak at the door.
