Treacherous Living in the Imperial Harem

v4 Chapter 423

At this moment, Gu Zhen discussed with Yun Fenghuang that regardless of whether the mother-in-law empress dowager would not live in the palace, this year's mother empress dowager must have a big banquet on her birthday to celebrate her birthday.

"Your majesty will definitely approve of your filial piety," Yun Fenghuang said slowly, "I will do my best to help my wife when the time comes."

Gu Zhen said: "Of course your majesty will approve it, but I don't know if the mother-in-law empress...will she refuse?"

This has a historical record. In the past, when the Ji family was in power, in order to weaken the presence of the Loving Mother Empress and the Mother Empress as much as possible, there has always been only one holy birthday, which is the birthday of the commoner Ji Sheng.

After the Ji family fell, the emperor could congratulate the benevolent empress dowager on her birthday, but the benevolent empress dowager always had various reasons to decline...

So far, the Queen Mother Yuan’s birthday has basically not been celebrated.

Now that the Empress Dowager Yuan has returned from the palace, her humble and kind attitude is better than before. At this moment, the probability of her rejecting this matter is very high.

Therefore, the Queen hoped that Yun Fenghuang could persuade Chunjia and insist on congratulating the Queen Mother Yuan on her birthday.

"Niang, it's not that the concubine is not willing to help, but you think, the mother-in-law empress dowager was only poisoned a few days ago. At the moment, she said she was a lot better, but she has always been simple and simple. Maybe it is the remaining poison?" Yun Fenghuang Listening, my heart moved, I was embarrassed, "If you force her old man to attend the banquet, then there will be a long and two short, how good is this?"

She looked at the left and right and there was no idler, her voice was low, "The empress wants to ease the relationship with the mother empress dowager, and the concubine can understand it. But you also know that the lord has some affection for your majesty or . For people like concubine, it really means... You are kind, but she may not be willing to give back the kindness! At that time, she will come to a phoenix body to violate the peace, you said that the imperial doctor can still be in front of us, saying that she is Pretending? So indispensable is ours not!"

Gu Zhen didn't expect Queen Mother Yuan to do this at all. He couldn't help but froze and said, "Why is this? My Majesty must take care of such a big event as the Holy Life Festival. Even if she doesn't give us face, wouldn't she not give it to your Majesty? Face?"

"Who knows what her old man thinks? The concubine body is also to take precautions." Yun Fenghuang said softly, "Anyway, the concubine body persuades the empress, it is better to do less than one thing. We mentioned it to your majesty. But. If she doesn't like it, let's forget it."

But the problem is that my grandfather taught me to take advantage of the effort of congratulating her old man on her birthday, kneeling in public and begging to confess wrong, so as to force the "loving and amiable" empress dowager to forgive the palace and forgive the Gu family!

If you don't have this birthday banquet, you can just go and plead for sin, and you must be regarded as coercing the mother empress dowager!

Gu Zhen is embarrassed.

"If the empress must do this." Fortunately, Yun Fenghuang said again, "The concubine is a bit thoughtful, but I don't know if it will be self-defeating."

The queen hurriedly asked: "But I don't know what the idea is? Tell me."

Yun Fenghuang said in a slow voice: "I mentioned it earlier to congratulate the empress dowager on her birthday. It was probably the harem, and then invited her natal relatives to come... but there was no other officials to congratulate the empress dowager. It's better this time. I proposed that the courtiers should also be piggybacked. So if the mother-in-law empress dowager is a little ambitious, it must be impossible to show the state of aging and degeneration in such an occasion. Otherwise, whoever is willing to follow one does not know when... …The nobles do things?"

"...But if you do this, what if you win over her?" Gu Zhen looked at her suspiciously.

The imperial concubine can't deliberately let the Queen Mother Yuan grow her wings?

Yun Fenghuang said, "Niang, if the empress dowager wins the hearts of the people, what's wrong? Don’t forget that the empress dowager’s greatest reliance is not the lineage of the Fuyang king, nor the identity of the empress dowager. It’s your Majesty! Your Majesty’s respect for her and her inability to let go, this is her biggest bargaining chip! Let’s just talk about her poisoning at the New Year’s Eve banquet. If you don’t have your Majesty to leave the front and face the harem, Kuiye will leave Beijing and rush over. What is she? Even if there are three long and two short, it is just to follow the rules! This is a smart man who knows what your Majesty is most taboo, and the difficulty of your Majesty's seizure of power, the most worrying thing is that someone is trying to plot the Gongxiang clan! "

"So when she left the palace to go to Fuyang County, although your Majesty was reluctant to bear her, he still didn't say anything that could keep her."

"Gain Yuan's actions to confuse the royal bloodline violated His Majesty's taboo. His Majesty did not want to give people the misunderstanding that he would relax the bottom line because of the mother-in-law empress dowager, and then sent this person away in tears!"

"Now that she is back, she is not willing to accept the gifts from each family, let alone people."

"She really doesn't want to do it? From the perspective of my concubine, it is in the final analysis to relax your majesty's heart!"

"If this person really doesn't do anything next, then forgive the concubine to speak bluntly, you and I will never be able to do anything to her in this life."

"She is your majesty's foster mother, the elder whom your majesty respects most, there is no one!"

"So instead of asking her to curl up in the house to be a glamorous elder, and call your Majesty to always think about it, it's better to give her a chance..."

The imperial concubine turned her head to look at the queen, and said calmly, "We are in the deep palace now, so how many things can't worry about, do we still have to worry about her all the time? Take this opportunity to give her a chance to show her status. When she makes mistakes, when the time comes... the good impression of her in Your Majesty's mind will be ruined in one fell swoop, what's wrong?

The queen was silent, her heart was ups and downs, and she felt that she was not wronged at all by being suppressed over the years...

She calmed down and said: "My palace knows, but this is not a trivial matter, you let my palace think about it."

Yun Fenghuang knew that she would definitely have to ventilate with her natal family before making a decision, and did not urge: "The concubine retires, don't bother her."

Walking out of the Chongchang Hall, the imperial concubine smiled slightly.

Of course she had an ulterior motive, but...

Regardless of the queen, Gu, no one can guess her true purpose!

As a result of the discussion between Gu Zhen and the Gu family, he felt that the imperial concubine might have something to do with it, but the main target was the Queen Mother Yuan.

This is understandable, after all, the relationship between the imperial concubine and the empress dowager is really not very good.

The imperial concubine is the kind of master who likes to act first, even if the Queen Mother Yuan did not do anything to Xuanqing Palace after her return, but it does not prevent the imperial concubine from thinking about **** the Queen Mother...

"Your Majesty asked you to give the phoenix seal to the concubine Shu and De. After the concubine is cured, the phoenix seal is in the hands of the concubine?" After the grandfather Gu thought carefully, he asked Gu Zhen, "In this case, this banquet, just Let the imperial concubine and the others worry more, and you will continue to call on the sick, less hands-on, less effort, less trouble. If something goes wrong on the table, it has nothing to do with you."

Even if Chunjia wants to be punished, it is the imperial concubine and the others who were punished together.

If this is not a matter for the queen alone, Concubine Min will have enough excuses herself.

Gu Zhen naturally agreed, so he planned to wait for the palace, and use the excuse of being overworked to say that he was ill.

However, before the departure, the Beidi once again came to the new battle report, Wang Shi and the main force of the Wang Ting Wei He fought a decisive battle, Wang Shi won a great victory, and also captured several of Xifa's wife and children.

There is no doubt that this is a great victory.

The ruling and opposition parties were beaming with joy, and Yun Fenghuang was pleased that the names of Xie Wuzheng and Xie Xiyu were on the papers for reporting the victory, and the contributions were a lot.

She specifically consulted Yin Qu, and Yin Qu said that these contributions have been accumulated, and if it is not discounted, when Xie Wuzheng, Xie Yu, and his filial piety are released and settled when he enters an official position, he is almost enough to be the governor of the prefecture.

Such an identity already has a weaker influence on the temple, instead of being regarded as an insignificant existence.

“Just don’t be too optimistic about the empress.” Yin Qu reminded Yun Fenghuang again, “there are only a few important posts and deficiencies in the imperial court. There has always been a carrot and a pit. The empress covers the sky with her hands in the harem. Naturally, no one dared to be disrespectful to the empress. But if the position taken by the empress’s brother is the basis for others to settle down, then... the empress wants and knows that no one who can get into this status is scared."

It is impossible for you to give way honestly just because you are your favorite concubine.

More likely, it is a desperate fight.

After all, that is what people have accumulated over a lifetime or even a few lifetimes. Who would quit willingly?

Yun Fenghuang frowned slightly, this was the disadvantage of being born in Hanwei.

Everything has to be started from scratch.

If this were the children of the Yun family or the Yin family, the elders would have arranged various compromises and exchanges, and the higher-ranking ones would naturally follow the boat.

But are they brothers and sisters...

Just like what Yin Qu said, no matter how you call the wind and the rain in the harem, if you don't do a few games, you can't defeat yourself without a fight.

He sighed slowly, Yun Fenghuang pinched his eyebrows, prepared for the future fierce battle, and asked about the current situation of Xie Wuzheng and Xie Xiyu: "They have accumulated a lot of credit. , But don’t know if it’s okay now?"

"...This." The visitor hesitated slightly, seeing the imperial concubine frown, and quickly speeded up his speech, "In return to the imperial concubine, the husband and the eighteenth son are now recovering from their wounds. Fortunately, their lives are safe!"

Yun Fenghuang was just a habitual question, but when she wanted to come, her two brothers were both clever, especially Xie Wuzheng.

And the military also knew that the relationship between the Xie family's children and him should be taken care of?

In this case, what can happen to the two brothers as long as they pay attention to themselves? After all, the country is now fighting a tailwind!

As early as Xiaozong's time, the Guo Dynasty defeated Wei He. What's more, it is now after several years of Weihe civil strife?

"What the **** is going on?!" The imperial concubine's heart sank, she subconsciously sat up straight, and asked in a deep voice.
