Yun Fenghuang and his attendants were racking their brains to discuss, when someone from the outer palace came to report that Daofu Shengjia had arrived.
She even went to straighten her skirt and shirt, then went out to welcome Chunjia and sit down outside.
Because the weather was good in the spring, the emperor had a relatively leisurely time, so he finished reviewing the memorials early every month and would take a rest in the back. Yun Fenghuang was not surprised, so he said with a smile: "Bidong came just in time. I am worried, so I just asked Bidong to help me come up with some advice."
Chunjia asked if there was anything wrong.
Yun Fenghuang told many people to test his words and wanted to beg Shang Zhaoqing for his children: "...I was angry at first. I only raised one girl, like a flower. , how old are you? I didn’t expect that there were so many things going on, and someone actually had an idea! It’s so brave! However, in the past two years, there have been more and more people, and I actually Angry! Besides, what Mrs. Ning Guo Gong said is unreasonable. Even if Zhao Qingdong will not be demoted until two years later, it will almost look the same. Otherwise, how would you know the good reputation spread outside? Are you pretending? It's been two years since Zhaoqing and Ji, and in those two years, many people have tried to whitewash the peace and cover up misdeeds?"
In fact, many ladies have said similar things privately when they were forced to do so by their children, hoping that the noble concubine would finally let it out.
Even if no one from their family was selected, at least someone would go back and explain, so that the decision would not be left unresolved, causing the young men in front of them to scratch their heads and feel uneasy, acting coquettishly and begging them to try to please the imperial concubine.
Yun Fenghuang Ruming brought it over for use, but he was not really anxious to show Zhao Qing Xiang a look, but to test Chun Jia's attitude.
Sure enough, when the emperor heard Mrs. Ning Guogong, he raised his eyebrows and said: "Do I remember that boy from the Ke family? It seems like five or six years ago? The first time he saw Zhaoqing, he was so distracted that he hit a pillar. Already?"
"Would you like that one?" Yun Fenghuang asked, "At that time, I felt that he was too unsteady, but I saw that Mrs. Ning Guogong was a very suitable person. Therefore, I took what she said to my heart. I memorized a few words.”
Chunjia pondered for a while and said: "I don't know much about that child. Since I feel sorry for Zhaoqing, there is no need to rush."
He added, "Besides, Zhaoqing herself doesn't seem to have such thoughts. It's better to wait until she reaches Ji and then she has a plan, and we can listen to it."
Yun Fenghuang sighed in his heart, knowing whether the emperor was wrong or not, at least for now, she would surrender Zhaoqingdong to Kohe in order to win over Ning Guogong.
In fact, this is not a reasonable thing. Chunjia is not a fool. Although he is in his prime, the princes have not fully grown up. But as an emperor who is considered to be the master of the ZTE, how can he easily hand over military power even if he deliberately allows various princes to compete for power
Furthermore, if the princes are all grown up and Ziren has not yet clearly distinguished himself, even if the emperor favors Yun Fenghuang, he cannot let her use Princess Zhaoqing's card to win first.
"Is that what Bidong said? In fact, I don't think so." Yun Fenghuang was secretly disappointed, but in front of him, he said, "Isn't it great that Bidong doesn't have any plans to let Zhaoqing go out now?" " She looked as if she was cautious because she was afraid that Chunjia would do that. "After all, I am not so motherly. Although the second and ninth princesses, Ru Ming, are all my daughters, they cannot be compared with Zhaoqing. , Zhaoqing has been raised by my concubine since he was born, and the child still thinks that I am his biological mother... After so many years, the child has come like pearls and treasures, and it is really no different from the one he had with me. "
"When the princes grow up, they will gradually leave my side."
"This means that the princesses have the opportunity to stay for two more years. After the Eastern surrender, they can very well stay in the imperial capital so that they can be reunited from time to time... I really don't want Zhaoqing to get married too early."
Did Chunjia listen to all her sincere words? After all, in his mind, the imperial concubine was talking about the Prince Jin who cared about her most, but in actual actions, the wrong children were actually extremely kind and cruel. of.
Especially the King of Qin and Zhaoqing, as the eldest sons and eldest daughters, enjoyed all kinds of fierce protection from the imperial concubine.
The emperor couldn't help but feel that he had been a little too preoccupied just now. He turned around and comforted the imperial concubine for a while before he remembered the purpose of his visit: "Come over tomorrow and ask me to worry about something."
Yun Fenghuang said: "Bidong, just give me your orders."
Just as I was wondering what was going on, I heard Chunjia say: "I'm thinking about starting another picking..."
After saying that, he paused deliberately to look at Yun Fenghuang's expression.
However, Yun Fenghuang could not hold back his anger and said calmly: "Is that the case? That is not the fault of my concubine and the queen. Counting the recent batch of newcomers, they were not selected in the 14th year of Chunjia." Yes, six years have passed, and everyone has lost their youth and become serious old people. It is really too unfair to Your Majesty! Please don’t worry, Your Majesty, I will go back to discuss with the Queen, and I must do it for Your Majesty. Choose a group of virtuous, virtuous, young and beautiful people to serve you!"
"Ahuang, don't you feel aggrieved?" Chunjia asked, holding back her laughter.
"Your Majesty the Lord doesn't care. Is it any use if I am aggrieved again?" Yun Fenghuang gave him a red look and hummed, "After all, you want to have someone else, but I can't stop you? I don't want to stop you. I miss you." I am the only one in my eyes... But if Bidong is not happy, what can I do?"
She gritted her teeth in her heart, guessing that Chunjia might have lustful thoughts, but she couldn't help but want to punch him in the eye!
The emperor also knew her temperament and did not dare to tease her too much. He went on to say: "In this selection, we should also choose a son from a poor family and a good family. There is no need to make too much effort. It doesn't matter if she is born in a wealthy family and her family members are all good." It’s good if the woman has the appearance of being a son.”
And the number of people doesn’t need to be too many, just a dozen or twenty.
Yun Fenghuang listened suspiciously and said, "Bidong, is that...?"
"Those people are not what I ask for, but they are what King Yi and Marquis Yongchun have prepared." Chunjia suppressed his teasing expression and sighed, "It was good that King Yi and Princess Yi had been in love for two years, so... The east side of my knees is always empty. Do I know about Yin Qu’s temper? King Yi didn’t mention it himself. Who else dares to say anything? Even if someone among the elders of the clan mentioned it, I think it makes sense. After all, they are brothers of Shenzong. If I don't let Bu Sheng go, it will seem like I wish that Shenzong's own bloodline would be cut off. Therefore, I can come out and be the one in trouble, and personally reward King Yi with some good family sons to continue his heirs."
Yun Fenghuang said: "Although Princess Yi is on good terms with me and is Xiao Qi's biological aunt, she has had no children for many years since she passed away. Even if there were delays in observing filial piety, she is indeed said to have left. Don't worry, Lord Bi. If it is not inconvenient for your Majesty to do so, I am willing to go and explain it to the Yin family and my daughter, and I will ensure that they will be convinced, and this will not cause any rift between King Yi and Princess Yi."
In fact, in the twelfth month of last year, when Princess Yi returned to Beijing with King Yi and came to the palace to see the seventh prince, Yun Fenghuang reminded her of the problem and advised her that if it was not possible, she could take the initiative to arrange a few suitable children for King Yi. The maids will serve, so that if there are children, it can also reduce the pressure from the outside world; if there are no children, it will be even more surprising for the princess.
After all, who says that in this world, when couples have no children, they almost all believe it is the woman’s fault
But Princess Yi was not the kind of person who cared about outside opinions. After she thanked Yun Fenghuang for his kindness, she said: "The prince of his family said that according to the rules of the country, non-legitimate sons cannot inherit the king's title. Although in the past, His Majesty Dong There were exceptions when he was the lord of the vassal, but how could the beauty of His Majesty Dong be comparable to that of ordinary members of the clan? In this case, concubine Ji would give birth to a son, and he would not be able to inherit the title, so it would be useless to ask for one. With a family like ours, do we really expect heirs to provide for us in our old age? No? So it’s better to leave it to fate.”
If the couple is happy, Yun Fenghuang will not force them to make things difficult for them.
Since the emperor was personally worried about the posthumous title, King Yi and Princess Yi could solve it with one heart. If Yun Fenghuang asked the envoy, the Lord would not be worried that Yin Qu would cause trouble.
Seeing that Chunjia was convinced at this moment, he said again: "How about... Yongchun Marquis is not married yet, if he can teach his concubine to enter the house first, once the concubine gives birth to an heir, the wife will not look good in the future?"
"I've already been watching his marriage." Chunjia said, "When the time comes, let's teach the main wife to enter first, and then reward him... If the main wife is happy after entering, it doesn't matter if those people are sent away. I don't agree with that either. Those who keep a close eye on the affairs of their brothers are ultimately of the same blood as the Shenzong, and they should not be left without heirs."
The implication is that despite the clan rules, only legitimate sons can inherit the title.
But brothers Gong Xiangxiao and Gong Xiangzhen are no exception.
