According to palace rules, princes who are ten years old must move out of the harem and live in the former Qiongjiu Palace.
Princesses who are over ten years old can also move to the special Yaoyu Palace to live.
But the princess can only live in Yaoyu Palace, but it is not necessary. If she is favored, like Zhaoqing, she still lives in the side hall of Xuanqing Palace.
However, after all, the prince and the concubines are different in gender, but they cannot compromise.
Now the twelve princes and above, including the foolish King Chu, have all moved into Qiongjiu Palace.
The twelfth prince will also officially move out of Chongchang Palace after his birthday this autumn.
The princes in front of Yun Fenghuang, except for the biological Prince Jin, have all moved out one after another in the past two years. Naturally, it is not as convenient for mother and son to meet each other as before.
At this moment, the Seventh Prince and Xie Fuwang came, but she had planned the day when Jin Xi would come to pay her respects, and specially arranged for someone to go and give them instructions, just so that Xie Fu Wang could have a good relationship with Jin Xi.
In the past five years, Yun Fenghuang has often done this kind of thing, so even though Jin Xi is still young and has not yet developed a love interest, the two children are quite warm to each other.
After the ceremony, we quickly talked together.
Yun Fenghuang took advantage of the situation and pulled the seventh prince to greet him: "How have you been these past two days? Are the people who serve you attentive?"
"To my mother and concubine, everything is fine. I just miss my mother and concubine." The seventh prince is twelve years old this year and has started to grow taller, so he looks particularly thin. His appearance is exactly like that of Chunjia, and his behavior is also gentle and elegant, not to mention the queen and others. The old man is Yun Fenghuang. Looking at him now, one can imagine what Chunjia looked like at this age. He should be 70-80% similar.
Looking at Yun Fenghuang's eyes full of admiration, Wen Yan said, "The first time I left the palace, I saw some novel fruits in the market outside. I originally wanted to buy some to give to my mother and concubine, but I heard that the fruits were edible. Too much is not good…”
The mother and son chatted for a while, and Yun Fenghuang asked the seventh prince carefully about his diet, daily life, and schoolwork. The child didn't need her to worry about since he was a child, so she just listened and encouraged him. By the way, he asked about King Qin and the ninth prince: " How are your eldest brother and your ninth brother these two days?"
Seeing the Seventh Prince open his mouth, looking a little embarrassed, her face darkened: "Is your elder brother still such a fool?"
Of course, it is impossible for any of the children raised by Yun Fenghuang's methods to be truly rebellious.
At least now, when they are still young, no one can not take the mother and concubine's request seriously.
However, the same rice feeds all kinds of people. Although she has a sensible and considerate son like the Seventh Prince, she also has children like King Qin and the Ninth Prince who need to worry about.
For these two children, King Qin was found to have poor aptitude very early, so Yun Fenghuang planned a path for him to be a filial son. In the past two years, because of her cover-up, King Qin recognized King Qin internally and externally, not to mention other things, in terms of filial piety. Impeccable.
Although some people feel that King Qin's filial piety seems to be specifically for the imperial concubine, but not so thoughtful for the emperor Chunjia Emperor.
But Chunjia dotes on Concubine Min, and coupled with Yun Fenghuang's insidious guidance, I feel that this is a manifestation of King Qin's open mind and innocent heart: if he is someone who is deep-minded and pretends to be a filial son, of course he is thinking of something. Please your father. Precisely because King Qin was filial from the bottom of his heart, he became closer to Concubine Min who raised him single-handedly.
In short, the emperor felt that although King Qin was arrogant, willful, domineering, and often bullied his brothers who were not from the Xuanqing Palace... he was still a good boy.
But he is just a good boy.
Anyway, Chunjia never thought of passing the throne to him.
The emperor's eldest son was out of the game early as the imperial concubine knew full well.
In this way, Yun Fenghuang didn't expect the King of Qin to make much effort for him. He just wanted to find a concubine who could be used in the future and win a richer fiefdom. As for Yun Fenghuang being almost satisfied with maintaining the personality he arranged for him and getting along well with the princess he chose in the two years before the vassalage.
However, the King of Qin failed to live up to expectations. He said that his ministers would listen to their mother and concubine in everything. He turned around and went to Qiongjiu Palace. Not long after, he felt that he was being led astray. First, he disguised himself and went out of the palace to go to the gambling house. Reported to the emperor.
Yun Fenghuang was so angry that he had to deal with the aftermath. He pulled Chunjia to act coquettishly for a long time before settling the matter for his son.
The King of Qin was also young at that time. She pushed back and forth, saying that the children were ignorant and seduced by traitors. She punished all the old people who served the King of Qin, and even beat a few suspicious ones to death, and finally suppressed the King of Qin. Stayed for a while.
However, half a year later, the boy returned to his old ways. This time he did not dare to go to a gambling house. He was only eleven years old and already visited a brothel!
Everyone who was simply serving her knew the concubine's temperament, and they fought tooth and nail to prevent her from being seriously combed by the King of Qin.
The news came to Yun Fenghuang the next day, and Yun Fenghuang was simply...
If this was her biological son, she could beat him to death!
After all, she didn't ask the King of Qin to be a true gentleman who could sit still and calmly. As a cheap son, beauty and other things were nothing to worry about.
The key is how old is he? ?
If we just make things happen with a prostitute now, will we not be able to survive in the future
Moreover, he knew the child he had raised. How could King Qin really care about women at such a young age? It's just that after arriving at the front and getting in touch with the outside world, he actually got along with a few dudes who only knew how to eat, drink, and have fun. He liked to be the boss at a young age, and felt that the "close friends" who were older than him were all in the room. However, my mother and concubine have not made arrangements yet, so I must do something to impress my "close friends".
Yun Fenghuang was so angry with his stupid son that he lost his temper.
Ever since she was a child, she had always led others by the nose. When had she ever been led astray like this
It turns out that King Qin is good, he can lead any unsatisfied bastard son down the wrong path!
In a rage, she summoned the King of Qin to her, and personally held the whip to give him a lesson. Finally, she reported to Chunjia and all the dandies who had been with the King of Qin. The emperor had great power and had no control over high-ranking families. Fear, and even the intention of beating. Coupled with the weight of my beloved concubine and beloved son, I agreed very readily.
Finally no one dared to openly play tricks on King Qin anymore.
But after these two things, King Qin finally crossed the threshold of eating, drinking, whoring and gambling.
No, he is thirteen this year. Hearing the news that the imperial concubine is already looking for his first wife, this boy is ready to make a move. He even asked a wet nurse to test the imperial concubine two days ago. Even the first wife is already choosing him. Have the people in the room been arranged first
Yun Fenghuang suppressed his anger and called the man to him, so he had to give him physical and physical pain again to make him remember.
If this kid is really hopeless, the imperial concubine cannot be ruthless enough to take advantage of her master.
But from what she observed, although King Qin didn't learn well, he still truly admired her. Combined with the inquiries of Chen Jing and others, this child was mainly defeated by his ranking and qualifications: as the beloved eldest son of the emperor, King Qin's literary and military talents were not very good.
In the past, he had not noticed the character of a filial son, but he has gradually come to understand it in the past two years.
The mother-in-law asked him to be a filial son that everyone knew was because he could only be a filial son...
This kind of truth was a big blow to King Qin, who had always been cautious and arrogant.
He wanted to work hard, but each of his brothers not only worked harder than him, but were also smarter than him. How could he compare
So I simply broke the jar and threw it away!
Chen Jing felt a little unbearable when he saw it, and privately advised Yun Fenghuang: "It's better not to be angry with His Highness King Qin. His Highness is actually feeling very miserable."
But Yun Fenghuang didn't agree with this: "What is he suffering from? I worked so hard to bring him out, isn't it even harder?"
The eldest son of the emperor who was finally snatched and raised turned out to be an embroidered straw bag. She is the one who should cry, right
Besides, "There are so many mediocre people in the government and the public, even those who have passed five levels and killed six generals, and have been named on the gold medal list. They can only study hard and can't serve as officials. Don't they? These people live a conscientious life, and he is a prince." , is really no match for his younger brothers. I have shown him the path of pure filial piety, so he can’t maintain it well, and there will always be some good words in the history books in the future? It’s better for him. He feels that he has no hope, so he just keeps doing it. He's doing it to himself... He's not doing it to himself, he's just doing it to me!"
After losing her temper, considering the overall situation, she had to coax King Qin.
The main reason is that if this son really does something bad, the entire Xuanqing Palace will be implicated.
Furthermore, no matter how bad the King of Qin is, given his status as the eldest son of the emperor, he will eventually be able to marry a noble girl and help the King of Jin to win over him in the future.
"Returning to my mother and concubine, my eldest brother hasn't been out much recently. He just plays Cuju with his ninth brother from time to time." The seventh prince looked at his mother and concubine with an unhappy expression at the moment and said quickly, "Someone from outside came in with news and invited my eldest brother to the banquet. Brother I didn’t pay any attention to it.”
"This is what he looks like." Yun Fenghuang snorted, "When you went to the front, I repeatedly told him to behave like a big brother and take good care of you! But this bastard is doing such nonsense. .I am really afraid that you will imitate him!"
The Seventh Prince smiled apologetically and said, "Where are you thinking, my mother-in-law? My eldest brother has always respected you the most, so I will never do this. In the past... I used to have people outside who were not good and always provoked my eldest brother."
Then he said, "Ninth brother has been more attentive recently. My husband even praised him two days ago."
The Ninth Prince was Yun Fenghuang's first son by name. After all, King Qin and the Seventh Prince were both recorded in other people's names. On the jade plate, they were not Yun Fenghuang's heirs.
Therefore, Yun Fenghuang had always been particularly concerned about the Ninth Prince.
However, this child is also a disappointment.
When I was in front of Yun Fenghuang in the past, he seemed to be very well-behaved and his qualifications were not bad.
As a result, I went to Qiongjiu Palace, lost the supervision of my mother and concubine, and the eldest brother King Qin was unreliable, so I immediately relaxed.
In just over half a year, Yun Fenghuang listened to his academic performance getting worse and worse.
If the Qing people hadn't stopped her, she would have wanted to hang the Ninth Prince up and beat him!
Then, after the Ninth Prince was reprimanded many times, he simply told the truth to the imperial concubine in tears: "Usually, when I was young, I would do whatever my mother and concubine asked me to do, and I didn't have any ideas. But now that I am older, I also I understand some things. I dare to ask my mother and concubine, how can I still covet that position if my son is so virtuous and capable? In this case, no matter whether he is wise or foolish, he is just a vassal king. Even if the ministers there don’t know a single word, they still know how to do it. You who have been crowned king! Why should you suffer yourself?"
This guy is just a bastard. He feels that he has no chance of becoming the crown prince anyway. And then, as the emperor's biological son, his mother's concubine is still a favored noble concubine, so there is no suspense about being crowned king.
That…
Even if you work hard, you will be a feudal king, and if you don't work hard, you will be a feudal king. Why should you embarrass yourself
Yun Fenghuang was so angry that he patiently explained to him that vassal kings were also divided into different levels. For example, could the King of Zhou be the same as a few remote vassal kings that no one remembered
But when the Ninth Prince heard this, he immediately looked at her expectantly: "Mother, concubine, although my son has failed to live up to expectations and disappointed you, but who doesn't know that my father listens to my mother and concubine the most? You are my biological mother and concubine. , how can you still watch my son suffer and be wronged?"
"Why can't I?" Yun Fenghuang laughed angrily at that time, "Not only can I watch you suffer, but if you dare not study hard, I will also persuade your father to , I’ll seal you off to as many remote places as you want!”
"The concubine has a soft mouth and a soft heart, so she won't do it." Yun Fenghuang felt that what she said was true. This was not her biological son. She had no shortage of sons in front of her. If he was disobedient, how could he still expect her to protect him
She was not someone who was reluctant to punish her children.
But maybe it was because her loving mother set it up so well that the Ninth Prince didn't believe it at all, and said with a smile, "That's all my mother and concubine said now. In the future, before my son complains, you will feel sorry for me!" "
He was so confident that he felt that Yun Fenghuang would not be able to let him go, and would not bear to let him suffer and be wronged... All in all, without the chance to become a prince, and with a powerful mother and concubine as his backer, the Ninth Prince believed that he was lucky if he could win. , working hard is a fool!
Yun Fenghuang: “…………”
She turned around and arranged for someone to tell the Ninth Prince that the imperial concubine was not his biological mother.
I originally thought that after the child knew the truth, he would have complicated emotions and even feel alienated from Xuanqing Palace, but he should continue to work hard. After all, how can an adoptive mother be as reliable as a biological mother... She had thought of it all. How to coax people back when the time comes.
However, the Ninth Prince was in a low mood for two days and then returned to his old ways.
Yun Fenghuang really couldn't figure out how he could be so irresponsible to himself, so he sent someone to trick him and learned that the ninth prince's thoughts were: "For so many years, I have always believed that my mother-in-law is my mother. Think about it carefully, my mother-in-law is my mother." She also has her own regard for this prince... Even if this prince is not her biological child, he has been raised for so many years. After all, she has been reluctant to let go of a dog for so long. Will the mother-in-law tolerate this prince being wronged in the future? No. possible."
So, he is confident again!
Yun Fenghuang: "..."
I always feel that I troubled my elders too much when I was a child, and now several of my children are here to collect debts.
At this moment, listening to various reports from the Seventh Prince, he praised them with his mouth, but sighed in his heart, thinking to himself: "Prince Qin and Xiaojiu, it seems that they will be summoned here tomorrow and the day after to reprimand them, otherwise they will not be able to pass." We’re going to cause trouble again in two days!”
She has now learned from experience, and beats her two sons just before they are about to cause trouble, lest they relax and cause all kinds of trouble for her.
