Vol 5 Chapter 215: Wanshou Banquet

The two confided for a while, and their mood was a little lighter.
It's just that Chunjia left Lanzhou Yeyu Pavilion with his front foot, and Yun Fenghuang asked about the situation in the East Palace on his back foot: "How about these two days?"
"In return to the empress, Concubine Meng Fang is very popular with the prince after passing the door. These days, the prince almost always lives with Concubine Meng Fang." Chi E frowned slightly and whispered, "Prince Concubine is a little sad in private, but Didn’t say anything... Concubine Xie Fang was very upset. She had made a few troubles for Concubine Meng, but Concubine Meng calmly resolved it, so that Concubine Xie couldn’t get angry. When the prince went back, he filed a complaint. But the prince was perfunctory and didn't take it to heart."
It's strange that the prince would go to his heart. If it weren't for Yun Fenghuang's aunt, he would not give Xie Meng a good face at all.
"That Meng Po Suo is a decent and noble girl from the background. Meng Meng is so careful, it's strange to be able to walk under her hand." Yun Fenghuang was not surprised by this situation, only sighed, "Ming'er let them all Come here to please my house."
She still has to go into battle on her own.
The next day, the three people on the two sides of the first concubine of the East Palace arrived at the Lanzhou Yeyu Pavilion. The prince concubine forced herself to calm down and bowed her head slightly after the salute.
Meng Po Suo meant something neither humble nor overbearing.
Only Xie Mengmeng, who hasn’t seen her aunt for a long time, must be unsatisfactory these days. His eyes are bright. When he came up, he rushed to Yun Fenghuang and acted like a baby. The voice was softer than usual, for fear that everyone would not know that she was Yunfeng. Huang's niece, the beloved kind.
"How come you are such a big person like a child?" Yun Fenghuang smiled slightly, but his heart was very calm. After coaxing Xie Mengmeng with a few words, he asked her what's going on recently?
Xie Mengmeng also simply started to complain in front of the princess and Concubine Meng: "It was okay, but Sister Prince and Sister Meng seem to dislike their nieces..."
What Yun Fenghuang wanted was her words. He happily followed the niece's words, scolded the princess and Concubine Meng, and ordered them to roll outside and kneel.
In the end, let Xie Mengmeng stay to accompany himself to dinner.
During the dinner, she thought about it repeatedly, and finally persuaded Xie Mengmeng a few words: "It is better to be tactful if you find fault later, and don't make everyone think that you are bullying."
After all, this is a niece, no matter how foolish it is, it is Xie Xiyu's child.
However, Xie Mengmeng was aggrieved: "How can my nieces bully them? They bullied their nieces in a different way! And what does the aunt do to help them? Does the aunt no longer care for the nieces?
Yun Fenghuang: "..." Forget it, I won't come back to teach, and I don't want to teach, so let's do it.
When the three wives and concubines of the prince left, she asked left and right, "How?"
The Qing people and other attendants all had a headache: "The princess almost couldn't calm down, but Concubine Meng was very calm. When she was punished, she didn't show any anger on her face. When she left, she went to the door to thank her and watch her expression. The behavior seems to be willing... this is a person who can bear to pretend, I'm afraid it will be difficult to clean up."
"She shouldn't be my own palace to clean up." Yun Fenghuang nodded, "The princess can't give birth. This Meng clan is of good origin and calm down. If she gives birth to the emperor, that will be the princess's heart. Great trouble! This point should be made clear to the princess."
In fact, the prince concubine thought so too, but her family background was not as good as the Meng family, and the prince had explained to her in advance that she must win over Meng Po Suo and the Meng family behind Meng Po Suo, she did not dare to do anything.
At least I dare not do anything for now.
In short, the undercurrent of the East Palace is turbulent, and it is still peaceful for the time being. The prince raced against the clock in the past, but he received more and more praise.
This situation makes the entire middle palace feel very stressful.
Even the clan relatives who came to visit under the banner of visiting the queen dowager became more and more intimate with the prince.
Elderly people such as Zhou Wang and others were safe in doing things. They did not forget to present a generous gift to Yun Fenghuang, but they also prepared a generous gift privately to the prince.
This double-betting move has proved Gong Xiangbing's rise.
Because of this, the princess, who was originally anxious and frightened, became calmer.
She wasn't really stupid either, Meng Posu was a hidden danger, and it had to be after the prince won.
Before Yun Fenghuang, the great enemy, fell, she and Meng Posu were in the same group.
So despite being jealous and defensive towards Meng Posu, he didn't do anything. In addition, Xie Mengmeng finds faults from time to time, and the crown princess can’t cope with this difficult side concubine herself. Meng Posu is very good at giving Xie Mengmeng a soft nail, or Xie Mengmeng can’t get a handle even if she wants to file a complaint. , The princess thought Meng Po Suo didn't seem to be very annoying.
The situation in the entire East Palace is moving in a good direction.
So even though Yun Fenghuang was still pleased... after all, he showed a little bit of depression.
In the face of this situation, the Qing people and other servants were anxious, but the descendants of King Yan and King Jin were also worried.
It's just that the prince did not leak, he was respectful to Yun Fenghuang, was humble and polite to his brothers and sisters, and he especially restrained himself and tolerated himself and his children under Yun Fenghuang's knees.
There is nothing wrong with being picky at all.
In addition to the many envoys entrusted to him by the emperor, they are all very beautiful.
The mother and son in the palace tried every possible way, but nothing was gained.
Yun Fenghuang didn't show it on his face, but he felt very depressed in private.
auzw.com In fact, after the abolition of Yan Wang Jin Wang, he also acted a lot more calmly. To be fair, the qualifications may not necessarily be below the prince.
But after all he was a little younger.
Gongxiang took the lead step by step, and now he is leading step by step.
During this period, the condition of the Empress Dowager continued to aggravate, and even the time she spent in a coma began to increase, but after all her status and status were left there, coupled with the constant supply of rare medicinal materials in the library, she could survive for a while.
Yun Fenghuang took people to ask for peace every day, and occasionally brought King Wei with him due to the request of the Empress Dowager.
Wang Wei, who is known to be bedridden, is actually full of energy. He was asked to "cure" before Yun Fenghuang was abolished. When he came out, his sexuality suddenly changed a lot. To be precise, he was silent a lot. .
Yun Fenghuang thought that most of the people of the Yin family had told the child in private, but she didn't care.
After all, this is not her child after all.
But it was entrusted by Yin Qu to help raise her.
Although Wang Wei is very close to her, some things can't be solved without feelings.
What Yin Qu said he had cooperated with her for many years, and now even if he retreated temporarily, Yu Ze still survived. Whether it was moral or profit, Yun Fenghuang didn't want to fall out with him.
Besides, just talking about the child of King Wei, Yun Fenghuang doesn't want to pit him too much.
"It's also really strange. The Empress Dowager really likes His Royal Highness." The attendants looked at the mother and son with some caution. After a few days, they saw that Yun Fenghuang was still looking at the King Wei and Yan Yue, and then gradually relaxed. Lively, I just said, "Your Majesty, please peace in the past two days, the Empress Dowager is impatient to see, but she is willing to see His Royal Highness."
In fact, the Empress Dowager was not only willing to see King Wei, but even privately ordered many private houses to be packed up and handed over to Yun Fenghuang, so that she would take care of them: "After King Wei gets married, you will give it to him."
He also said, "Don't think that the Aijia is unfair. The Aijia is all these years old and somewhat willful. If you are a junior, you should bear one or two."
"Whatever the emperor grandmother said, these things are all yours. You can dispose of them as you like." Yun Fenghuang said, "Don't worry, your grandson-in-law will keep them well. After the wedding of King Wei, Give it all to him, so that he will remember you forever."
The Empress Dowager gave a short smile: "I remember that there is no need for the Ai's family. It is meaningless to control these things and take the Ai's family to the mausoleum."
After Yun Fenghuang came out, he asked King Wei, what did the Empress Dowager say to him?
Wang Wei shook his head: "The emperor's great-grandmother is weak, but she can't say a few words. She is mostly staring at the child in a daze... My child thinks that the child may really look like the emperor's great-grandfather or the emperor's grandfather?
He was not raised by the Queen Mother, and even in terms of blood relationship, King Song and the prince were closer to the Queen Mother, but the Queen Mother didn’t pay much attention to those two grandchildren, but she liked King Wei very much... In addition to looking for the traces of the deceased in him, there is no other reason that can explain the empress dowager's willingness to leave him even the private house.
After a few days have passed, the people below reminded the Queen Mother Yuan’s birthday to come again. Should we do it this year or not?
Since the Empress Dowager Yuan returned to the imperial capital, the empress dowager, who never cared about her birthday in the past, has never refused to resign the empress to celebrate her birthday.
After all, she has experienced a fiasco and needs such a form to prove her status and importance.
It's just that it's not uncommon. In the past years, after Gu Zhen, Yun Fenghuang was also responsible for hosting the birthday banquet, which is no stranger.
The key is that the Queen Mother is still ill. According to the tacit understanding, there are elders on the couch, and the younger generations celebrate their birthdays, which is very suspected of urging the elders to die.
Of course Yun Fenghuang himself refused to take this idea, so he asked Chunjia.
Chunjia pondered it over and over, and said, "I should ask the emperor's grandmother for instructions on this matter."
Hearing this, he knew that he still wanted to celebrate the birthday of the Empress Dowager Yuan. After all, the Empress Dowager Yuan was his closest elder. After all, the Empress Dowager was just a grandmother in courtesy and law.
Only if the emperor is not good at speaking out directly, he has to push the empress dowager to be the master.
Sure enough, Yun Fenghuang asked the Empress Dowager, and the Empress Dowager didn't care: "Don't bother Laijia."
So this year's Wanshou banquet was held as usual, and it was said to the outside world that it was the decree of the Queen Mother to celebrate the Queen Mother.
In the light of the emperor's grandmother, there are very many people gathering for birthday banquets this year.
After all, there are not many clan relatives here in Dijing.
Moreover, the clan relatives did not come here alone, and they had to bring the servants and the younger concubine Ji, and some even brought the concubine.
It was quite a test of Yun Fenghuang's ability.
In fact, she did not preside over the sixth house in a day or two. After all her busy schedule, she worked out a charter for the birthday banquet.
As usual in previous years, the Wanshou Banquet was held for three consecutive days.
The first day went smoothly. At the end of the next day, everyone was drinking and drinking, but suddenly there was something abnormal in the northeast corner, followed by the roar of people, and the noise faintly spread with the mountain breeze.
Yun Fenghuang frowned slightly, and was about to ask someone to inquire, but a palace man's clothes were stained with blood, and he rushed to kneel in embarrassment and said: "Your Majesty, Mother, the palace is out of water, please move quickly!"
