Empress Dowager Yuan is not happy, even if this day "sick" Empress Ji deliberately showed up to lead the concubines to the spring lethargy Palace to congratulate her, she is still light, a few words to send away the troops, stayed in the cloud wind Huang and Wei Heng smoke, open the door to ask why the emperor did not go to Dendrobium Palace yesterday?
The two consorts looked at each other, Wei Heng Yan lowered her eyes, carefully said, "Yesterday night, concubine has rested, heard the palace people say that his majesty came, hurriedly out to meet, just to see ... just to see his majesty look ... concubine did not dare to ask more questions, gave His Majesty said congratulations, mentioned the little prince, His Majesty did not answer, concubine ... concubine served His Majesty settled."
Heard the Empress Dowager face stagnation, asked Yun Feng Huang, "I heard last night the emperor first went to the gorgeous Qing Palace, this is how it is?"
Yun Feng Huang immediately knelt down, his voice choked, "Concubine also do not know how to anger his majesty, yesterday it is clear that they are all going to be resettled, but his majesty said to go away."
"... "Empress Yuan sank her face, in her heart she was still a bit skeptical that these two concubines had joined forces to give Dendrobium Palace an eyeful under the guise of helping Yuan Neemiang's mother and son, but she couldn't say anything.
After all, everyone knew that the Emperor had become quite fond of True Concubine these days.
The real consort in order to advise all to get to the emperor's big night to shake hands and go, changed into the clinical honor Wei Zhaorong, this is not enough to do their best?
We can't let the True Concubine go to Yijia Palace to continue to persuade the Emperor, what's the difference between that and forcing the Emperor to go to see Yuan Neemiang?
Empress Yuan herself is not good enough to do this, let alone the True Consort.
"This period of time, the former dynasty and the harem things constantly, I think the emperor's son is also in a bad mood, aggrieved you guys." After all, Empress Dowager Yuan is not Yuan Neem Niang, see through the two consorts for Yuan Neem Niang Niang child to ease the cheek unsuccessfully, although angry, silent for a while, but still stacked up and pleasant color to, warmly said, "also is the mourning family's not, know that you serve the emperor's son from time to time, very hard, but still ... "
"What did the Empress Dowager say?" Yun Feng Huang hurriedly interrupted her and said with true feelings, "To share the worries of the Empress Dowager and His Majesty was originally something that the concubines should do. Furthermore, Your Highness is willing to entrust the concubines with things, it is a blessing for the concubines."
Wei Hengshi, of course, seconded the motion.
The two of them sang and flattered Empress Yuan for a while before the Empress sighed and let them leave in disinterest.
Just after the spring lethargy palace, cloud wind Huang but invited Wei Heng smoke together to go to Dendrobium Palace.
Although it is said that Empress Ji came out this day, but Empress Yuan did not mention the need for Yun Feng Huang on behalf of the Queen's right to let the Empress focus on recuperation words, how can she herself take the initiative to hand over the power?
That must be to continue to visit Yuan Neemiang, to do the duty of the head of these six palaces ah!
Wei Heng Yan also went, in addition to enjoying the situation of this senior who had once stormed the three palaces and six houses, but also to give Empress Dowager Yuan the impression that she still cared about Yuan Neemiang's mother and son.
As for whether the Empress Dowager believed it in her heart, there was nothing to be done, and the gesture did it anyway.
Only the two consorts talked and laughed to the Dendrobium Palace, but ate a closed door at the entrance of the palace.
The palace maid guarding the door straight shivered, "Mother ... mother ... my mother said, this moment is still lack of, do not ... not labor ... don't labor to think of the harem, please ... invite the two ladies to go back!"
"How is Yue Xiuyuan now?" Yun Feng Huang sniffed, picked the curtain from the stepping carriage, probed and asked, "How about the eldest prince? Is he okay?"
Seeing her face, that courtesan was like a mouse seeing a cat, directly "flopping" and kneeling on the ground, not daring to raise her head, "Back, back to True Concubine Lady's words, my lady has already woken up."
As for how the Grand Prince is doing, it doesn't say.
Guess it's not so good.
Yunfeng Huang gentle and finetuned, and carefully interrogated, but this courtesan do not know is not dare to say it or really do not know, flipflopping is to know that Yuan Neemiang has awakened, and personally ordered not to accept the harem visit the other blanket, "Please forgive me, maidservant do not know. "
Eventually Yun Feng Huang sighed, "Serve Xiu Yuan well with the Grand Prince."
Putting down the curtain, he ordered the honor guard to turn back to the Spring Lazy Palace.
"Empress Dowager, Xiu Yuan suffered so much yesterday, and now she personally ordered not to be disturbed, so naturally I don't dare to force my way inside." A few moments later, she and Wei HengYan, one after the other, stood under the hall and complained to Empress Yuan, "But if we just go back to the palace, we don't feel at ease in our hearts! Thinking about it, we can only come here to ask you to make a decision!"
Empress Yuan didn't say a word, but her hand stroking on her knee trembled slightly.
She closed her eyes, and after a while, she squeezed out a voice through her teeth, "The mourning ... family knows! You guys and go back!"
Wei Heng smoke still to say something, by the cloud Feng Huang motionless bump down, only to hurry to shut up.
"That ..." Yun Feng Huang face of worry, affectionate, just like Yuan Neemiang is her halfsister, hesitant Fu Fu, "Concubine leave, also please Empress Dowager take care. "
Yuan Tai Hau presses the armrests of the seat, waiting for these two concubines to go far away, before "heh" a sound, muttering to herself, "take care of? I would like to take care of myself, but this ... can take care of it!"
"You don't blame His Majesty." Dipping Liu sighed, holding her hand, whispering, "Over the years, His Majesty has had too many things to learn and do, and has actually not spent much time with Yue Xiuyuan. Xiuyuan that temper ... His Majesty every time he goes back to see her, either he needs to comfort her, or he has to listen to her endless complaints ... plus Xiuyuan that temper when she was a child, His Majesty ... His Majesty is willing to tolerate her for a long time, but also protect her pregnancy so far, mainly because of the heartache you!"
These words can not comfort Empress Yuan, she stared blankly at the temple bricks not far away, murmured, "Just a trip to the Dendrobium Palace, heartbreaking grief ... Why is such a little thing, are not willing to do?"
Not waiting for Dipping Willow to reply, she smiled miserably and said, "Yes, this is the fault of the mourning family. Back then when they were both young, the mourning family heartache Huang'er, tired of Neem Niang, but had to take Neem Niang from time to time in the side to raise. In order to let the emperor's son is not bullied, has been intentionally not let them get along, and coaxed the emperor's son as a right to take the neem mother to sharpen the patience, lest in the future to meet the bad with the people easy to get angry, and thus lost their cool;"
"In private, but always under the banner of the Emperor's son, to send this and that to the neem mother, to pass on all kinds of good words ..."
As he grew older, Chunjia patiently waited for the time when he could be the master of his own house and no longer be subject to any constraints, while Yuan Linniang fell deeper and deeper into the tenderness of her busy cousin, who "thought of her from time to time".
At that moment, Empress Yuan didn't think that she would be softhearted, so she knew that Chun Jia didn't actually care very much about Yuan Neemiang, but she didn't care at all.
Now think about it, this may be retribution knee nothing out, can only be a commoner son as a parent child to raise her, niece and future daughterinlaw of the Yuan Neemiang, at least with her blood, even if the child does not know how to do things, capricious and nonsense, but all those years in the name of Chunjia give her a variety of surprise considerations, she is also really spent to understand to care about! To coax this child's ... nearly twenty years of living together, what makes her feel that she can say put down on put down?
Back then, both Chunjia and Yuan Linniang were still young and innocent, and she was the one who started it all.
Now ... now Chunjia puts down the lightness, but Yuan Empress Dowager is instead a little bit unable to walk out.
Yuan Liniang once made a mistake, the Empress Dowager face sighs, but in the heart is quite indifferent to think, this kind of do not know enough to make trouble, one day, will teach her to know the consequences.
Until this moment, the Empress Dowager had never realized that she truly hearted this niece.
She couldn't bear to see Yuan Neemiang annihilated in Chun Jia's harem like that.
Even after some years, Chunjia do not remember, the title of "Yue" consort, once received the former harem how the envy.
Empress Yuan sadly asked Dip Liu, "Was I not ruthless enough, or was Huang'er too coldhearted?"
Dipping Liu lowered her head and deliberated for a while before whispering, ''Your Majesty, these are all things that can not be helped ... If you want to blame, you can only blame Yue Xiuyuan, regretting it too late. As you know, although His Majesty has many grievances against Niang Xiu Yuan, he has never lost Niang Xiu Yuan's face like this before. If the Emperor's eldest son had not been born prematurely, His Majesty would definitely not treat Dendrobium Palace poorly in the future."
Although Chun Jia may not have much sincerity towards Yuan Neem Niang, but he is the son of heaven, rich in the four seas, for the sake of Empress Yuan's face, rich and honorable to raise Yuan Neem Niang for the rest of her life, and then settle their children, this tolerance is always there.
"..." said Empress Yuan, despondent for a long time, "You are right."
Nevertheless, on this day she made a personal trip to the Taichu Palace to persuade Chunjia to go to the Dendrobang Palace and meet her eldest son.
Chunjia very calmly agreed, even did not use the empress dowager to repeat, just out of the door, he paused on the hall porch, turned his head, looked at empress dowager Yuan, "Mother, in fact, the child does not care to see that child one side, after all, over the years, the child lost more children, once or twice when there is still some sadness. More often than not, the child has long been accustomed to."
He said this with a ripple that bordered on coldness.
Empress Yuan was in a trance before she came back to her senses, the one that Chun Jia really didn't want to see was Yuan Neemiang.
Has Neem lost her beloved Jirou for good?
The Empress Dowager smiled to herself, "Just take pity on Mother, okay?"
"Why is it necessary for mother to be like this?" Chunjia gazed at her for a moment, sighed, reached out and held Empress Yuan's arm, her tone soft, "Child is just annoyed that she doesn't know that Empress Mother cares and loves her, and tired of Empress Mother's running around and worrying about her to this point.... Since Empress Mother is still compassionate about her, child... ... with the same as before, take the time to coax her, it's nothing. In short as long as mother queen is happy, child is willing to do anything."
These words he said to be more twentyfour filial piety, there are more twentyfour filial piety, Empress Yuan moved for a moment, heel but feel, such as falling into the ice cellar.
She watched the emperor's carriage leave in the direction of the Dendrobium Palace for a long time before returning to the Spring Lazy Palace with the help of Dipping Willow.
"What's wrong with you?" Dipping willow on the way to notice, Queen Yuan forehead seeped out a dense cold sweat, very worried, was about to order people to prepare hot soup bath, and then call the Imperial Doctor but was stopped by Queen Yuan, ordered to clear the scene, and then pulled her hand, asked a sentence that made dipping willow involuntarily to tremble words, "Dipping willow, you say, the Imperial son has been so kind to Neemiang all these years, is it ... to comfort Mourning Home, or is it, in order to, appease Mourning Home?!"
The difference between comfort and appeasement is only one son, but the meanings within are vastly different.
Especially at this moment, dipping willow heart set off a huge wave, actually have a moment of aphasia, she pinched the palm, the pain makes it calm down, only then mute voice, do not answer the question ''Your Highness, who is this rumor in your followers? You have raised His Majesty with your own hands, what kind of person is he, don't you know? His Majesty truly respects you as his mother, not to mention the Ji Clan, to whom he has never been anything but defensive and averse, without the slightest bit of intimacy; even the one in Jiashan Palace, over the years, has he ever taken the initiative to go and ask for peace without you mentioning it? And the holy birthday festival, without your reminder, two years ago, his majesty several times, almost forgot the birthday of the Queen Mother ... you must not give that son of a traitor, take advantage of the situation ah!"
"His Majesty has only just assumed power, his position is not yet stable, and he needs you to help him stabilize his rear, if you are suspicious of him, won't you be playing right into the hands of the people behind the scenes?!"
Wake up ah Niangniang, Chunjia are pro government, even if he before in front of you has been pretending, to Yuan Neem Niang indulgence favoritism is to see that you to this niece of the sincere, do to you see, lest you and Yuan but can not resist the pressure to give up or even backhanded pitted him a hand ... but these are all in the past!
You're flipping him off at this point, rowdy?
The current situation is that Empress Yuan Yuan Neemiang Yuan Cangniang the entire Yuan Clan needs Chunjia, but Chunjia doesn't necessarily need the Yuan Clan!
Even is in this harem, he on his own mother Qu dowager in, under the dowager personally support up the real consort town field ... this time not to mention the heart of the doubt, is the irony, as long as Chunjia did not take the initiative to poke and prod, that can only pretend to be confused is not it?
"... "Empress Yuan heard the meaning in Dip Liu's words, smiled miserably, and said, "What you said is true."
It was the second time she'd said that today.
How hopeless it was to say the previous sentence, and how forlorn it was to say this one.
