King Jin cautiously said, "Are you going to beat me after I told you?"
Yun Fenghuang sneered: "I don't think you will have a separate meal today!"
King Jin: "..."
He said quietly, "Mother and concubine, son and minister... Is the son and minister really your biological child?"
"If you, little brat, were not my own child, I would have thrown you out a long time ago!" Yun Fenghuang said angrily, "How did your mother and concubine behave as a daughter when I was your age? Let me tell you, When I was in front of your grandma, you listened to whatever your grandma said. She never took an extra step or said a word! As soon as your grandma raised an eyebrow, I went up to serve you! Your grandma said it, and never in this life. You have seen such an obedient and docile child like me! When you grow up, go to the North and ask around. Who in Huizhou City will not praise your grandmother for being so lucky to have such a well-behaved, sensible, considerate and filial daughter like me!"
"I really don't know what evil I have done!"
"Why do I have to deal with a bastard like you when it's my turn to be my own mother?"
"God damn it, make me angry!"
"It's also your grandmother whose whereabouts are unknown now. Otherwise, I have to ask her to tell you about how well-behaved and sensible your mother-in-law was back then!"
Qingren, Hongcai and other close servants who were born in the Xie family listened silently. They all wanted to say something but hesitated, unable to finish what they said.
The King of Jin was simply young and had no idea what his own mother had done back then. He sounded dubious and said, "But I don't think you are like..."
Is his mother-in-law really obedient and docile
I don’t feel it!
Otherwise, why would you beat him every day
"What do you know?" Yun Fenghuang interrupted with a cold snort, "Can these two mothers be treated like other people?"
She confidently brainwashed her son, "Ask your aunts from the Qing Dynasty and the others. When your mother and concubine were at home, did they treat my own mother completely differently from other people?"
Qingren nodded with a complex expression: "What the empress is saying is... the empress treated my wife and other people at home in a completely different way."
In fact, this cannot be said to be wrong.
The key is…
The difference between Yun Fenghuang's treatment of Jiangshi at that time was that she never spared no effort to make Jiangshi angry like she did to other people...
Jiang often lamented in those years: "What evil have I done? I have so longed for a biological daughter, and yet I have been treated like this! But I am outside, not daring to say a word, and I have to cover up and plan for her." A good reputation for being a virtuous and virtuous person! Just thinking about it makes me so angry that I can't speak... I must have been in debt to this ancestor for eighteen lifetimes! Otherwise, there is no reason for me to be so wronged."
"Is that so...?" King Jin was a little confused for a moment after hearing the Qingren's affirmative answer. He thought about it and then said, "But, my grandmother has never beaten my mother-in-law!"
Yun Fenghuang sneered: "I beat you for your own good! If you were not my own child, why should I discipline you? Besides, your mother and concubine were so well-behaved and sensible back then. Why did your grandmother beat your mother and concubine? It's you who Your disobedient look will make your grandma, who values the rules, see you and look good on you!"
King Jin: "..."
My God, my mother and concubine are fierce enough, so how could my grandmother be even more cruel in beating her
He shivered subconsciously, secretly praying that this missing grandmother would never come back...
Of course, he didn't dare to say this at all, so he just muttered, "But my son is still young, so I can wait until my son is older before beating him... What if my concubine accidentally beats my son?"
"Don't worry, your mother and concubine are well aware of it." Yun Fenghuang slapped the table and shouted, "Come out!"
King Jin hesitated for a while, considering that his mother would really beat him when she said she would, and would catch him and whip him even if he couldn't get someone to move the table away, he finally didn't dare to hide anymore, so he climbed out again and hit him. With a gray hair on his face, he secretly looked at Yun Fenghuang's face and said with a smile: "Concubine Mother... Concubine Mother, you are my mother, Concubine Mother!"
Yun Fenghuang stared at him with a cold face for a while, but did not make a move. He just hummed: "Go get water and clean up with him."
King Jin breathed a sigh of relief and quickly raised a smile to please him: "I know that my mother and concubine are the best..."
Just this smile and these words made the imperial concubine tremble. She always felt as if some kind of retribution had arrived. She pointed to the seat not far away and asked her naughty son to sit down. Then she continued to ask the question: "I, please listen. What you said just now seems to make you think that your brothers and sisters are not very reliable? Why?"
"...that is, the eldest brother and eldest sister are the eldest son and eldest daughter. But even the tenth brother dared to fight with the eldest sister. What else can we expect?" King Jin poked at each other with his fingertips and murmured in a low voice, "The eldest sister didn't do much before. I like Erchen, but mother-in-law, look, why doesn’t eldest sister listen to Erchen now? Erchen is only so old, but he already knows how to coax eldest sister. How old are eldest brother and eldest sister? But even the tenth brother doesn’t It’s hard to coax... I don’t expect anything from them!”
Yun Fenghuang frowned slightly when he heard this.
King Jin suddenly became nervous: "My concubine, my concubine, I just said it casually, I didn't mean it! I can't beat my concubine!"
As he spoke, he looked in all directions and was ready to get under the table again at any time!
However, the imperial concubine did not hit him. She just sighed and warned: "I will never say such words in the future."
"Don't worry, concubine, mother." King Jin said cautiously, "My son and I will definitely not tell you!"
If you weren't my mother-in-law and wanted to beat me at every turn, I wouldn't even tell you.
He muttered in his heart and listened to Yun Fenghuang's instructions, "Don't tell anyone!"
"Yes, I remember!" King Jin hurriedly said, "Of course, the mother and concubine are an exception. After all, you have to treat your mother and concubine differently from other people."
Yun Fenghuang was very appreciative of his learning and application. After praising him for a few words, he told him: "Your eldest brother and eldest sister don't have any bad intentions. You were close to them before, and you will be the same in the future. They are the ones in front of your mother." Imperial brothers, if you can avoid suffering in the future, you might as well be polite to them."
After all, one has to be more partial to the biological ones.
In fact, Yun Fenghuang knew very well that Chunjia had always been well aware of the estrangement and grudges between Yanfu Xuanqing's children.
Although the emperor never said anything and had no intention of interfering.
But as a biological father, how could he not hope that his children would live in harmony with each other? Even if it was just pretending on the surface, it would at least prove the children's respect and filial piety towards him
As an emperor, especially an emperor who has fought all the way to the top, how could he not like a prince who is tolerant, friendly and resourceful
Even if you can pretend to be tolerant, generous, friendly and sibling, in comparison with Qin Wang Zhaoqing and the tenth prince who don't even bother to pretend, those who are willing to pretend can already get extra points in front of the emperor.
It's not that Yun Fenghuang deliberately didn't remind her eldest son and daughter in this way before, but because these two children were brought up under her knees when she was unable to give birth. At that time, she wanted to establish a loving mother persona and also hope to win over the children's hearts. , naturally very pampering.
In addition, the emperor was also a father for the first time at that time, and he had not thought of being so far away from establishing a heir apparent, so he was quite indulgent towards his eldest son and eldest daughter.
Now that the two children's temperaments have been basically decided, it is unlikely that they can live in harmony with the royal heirs in other palaces, especially those in front of the queen.
If Yun Fenghuang forced them to adopt a friendly attitude, it might cause a rift between mother and son... But why is this necessary
She already has a biological son, so she still has to force her non-biological son to make progress
At this moment, seeing that King Jin was really smart, he made a few remarks.
Seeing King Jin's eyes rolling around and frowning, King Jin immediately trembled: "Don't worry, my concubine, I will definitely keep this in mind!"
"You go down." Yun Fenghuang sighed, feeling a little headache.
This child is quite smart, but if he breaks free at such a young age, he will be frightening if he doesn't stay restrained all the time.
"If I had known, I would have been more well-behaved when I was my daughter." The imperial concubine thought to herself, "Now that I have such a little ancestor... I am completely following my mother's path!"
She has already seen her future. Even if she is angry with King Jin a hundred times, she will still have to create all kinds of beautiful characters for him outside and swallow all the grievances and anger... Isn't this what happened back then? Did Jiang suffer from her
Ah, angry!
The imperial concubine was depressed for a while and sent her son away. After handling a few palace affairs, someone from the palace came to report that it was Li Jieyu who had started it.
"Those are the Queen's people, let the Queen worry about it." Yun Fenghuang said nonchalantly, "With Jieyu on the left and right, what is the birth of a child?"
She didn't even bother to send someone over to find out the information. After all, Li Jieyu didn't have the weight to let Xuanqing Palace care about her fertility.
So the next day, a report came that Li Jieyu had given birth to a royal daughter. I don’t know if it was because of her first child. Her birth process was very torturous, and she went through a lot of hardships afterwards before she died. He was saved, but his vitality was severely damaged.
And this tenth princess looked a little weak.
Rumors about the palace are not very promising, and I suspect that she may not be able to raise her well.
"Reward according to the rules." After hearing the discussion, Yun Fenghuang waved his hand uninterestedly, "There is also someone from the Queen's place to say congratulations."
The queen had no reaction to the concubine's congratulations and responded calmly.
After experiencing Xie Xiaoyu's incident, the original bad blood between the two parties has deepened to a deeper level, and they cannot shake hands and make peace no matter what.
But at least the surface politeness needs to be maintained.
Of course, in private, there is no lack of criticism of each other.
For example, before the ten princesses were full moon, something spread in the palace: "Li Jieyu suffered a huge loss when she gave birth, and she will never have any more children in the future!"
As soon as the news came out, Li Jieyu was shocked and angry. As she was still in confinement, she could only ask her confidants to complain to the queen and ask her to make the decision.
Gu Zhen himself was still feeling weak at the moment. When he heard the news, he sighed and asked, "What about Li Jieyu's body and bones?"
"Returning to the Empress, although my family Jieyu is somewhat damaged, how can a woman not be punished for giving birth?" A confidant said in a low voice, considering the words, "As for why I can no longer produce children for Your Majesty in the future, that is definitely not the case. matter."
There is no reason why their masters and servants are not worried.
After all, Huang Lingya and his like entered the palace for a very important reason, which was to continue the heirs.
In this case, if Li Jieyu is deemed infertile, will she still have a chance to sleep with her in the future
She is not Yun Fenghuang. She quickly captured the emperor's heart as soon as she entered the palace. Even though she was judged to be infertile, she still had the emperor's favor without hesitation. The emperor even personally worried about her health care. This was something that only took many years. A Jinwang.
Li Jieyu knew very well that she was not qualified in front of Chunjia.
If she is considered infertile, the outcome will basically be that the emperor will not go to her.
Even though there is already an imperial daughter by his side, not to mention that the ten imperial daughters are weak and they don’t know whether they will be able to reach adulthood in the future. Let’s just say that mother and daughter can live a comfortable life in this palace without the emperor’s favor.
In short, Li Jieyu was determined not to admit that she could not have children.
But at this moment when the Queen asked, her confidants did not dare to answer too surely.
Gu Zhen thought about it for a while and roughly understood that Li Jieyu's fertility must have been compromised, but it was not to the point where she would definitely not be able to have children.
She pinched her forehead, feeling indescribably tired.
It has been more than ten years since she entered the palace, and the new couple is old enough to be her daughter.
After enduring day after day, from Madam to Queen, I seem to be considered the lucky one among the old people, but my heart is not happy, and the way forward is not so clear and easy...
There are still many troubles waiting for her...
Gu Zhen thought for a long time and finally said slowly: "I will have people thoroughly investigate the source of the rumors and clean up the palace. But since such news has spread in the palace, it can be seen that someone has noticed this matter, and it is probably the imperial concubine's side. People... You have also heard of the methods of the imperial concubine, the most pervasive and difficult to guard against, so your palace must be cleaned up. "
Li Jieyu can do this without the Queen's instructions.
It's just that she is in a lot of inconvenience now, so she can only tell her confidants and beg the queen to help her dowry.
