After the Seventh Prince and others left one after another that day, Hong E came in and told Yun Fenghuang: "Just now, Young Master Fu Wang quietly told the maid that he asked her to help send a message to ask for something from the empress. It was what he told the empress before. Please don’t tell your consort about this matter.”
"What do you think these little things are thinking about?" Yun Fenghuang was stunned for a moment, then said a little unhappy, "He has grown up in front of me all these years. How can I not worry about food, clothing, housing and transportation? But in the end, he is not afraid of me. The palace is not happy, but he is afraid of the prince-in-law? In addition to the rituals during the New Year and festivals, the prince-in-law only exchanges letters, but he is afraid of him? "
"Mother, this is just how Mr. Fu Wang is getting close to you." You and Zuo hurriedly advised him, "Do you think that every time you teach His Highness the King of Jin, does the King of Jin ever feel afraid? Although Mr. Fu Wang is fourteen, he is still half a grown-up. My child, of course I am more respectful than fearful towards those close to me, and I dare to tell you anything. But after all, the prince-in-law rarely meets the young master, so isn’t the young master more afraid of the prince-son-in-law’s reproach?"
Yun Fenghuang said sourly: "Really? I thought, he felt in his heart that my surname was no longer Xie, and he was just relying on his status as a noble concubine. Instead, he was the consort, and he was his serious uncle, so You don’t dare to make mistakes in front of your consort!”
"Your Majesty, you are overthinking. Young Master Fu Wang must not have meant this." After everyone comforted her, she felt a little more comfortable, and she added after thinking: "It's also that Jin Xi is a little young, and he still looks like a child now. , otherwise, why would Fu Forget be so childish!"
Xie Fuwang is actually already in love at this age, but Princess Jinxi is still young and her wedding is still far away.
In order to win Yun An's heart, Yun Fenghuang could not arrange a roommate for his nephew in advance.
Now that he didn't have a concubine to hold his heart, he could only resort to manipulation from the Seventh Prince to stop him from thinking about becoming a vassal with the Seventh Prince.
Thinking of this, Yun Fenghuang couldn't help but sigh: "I originally thought that King Qin and Xiao Jiu would be enough to upset me, and it would be difficult for Xiao Qi to be sensible and never cause trouble to me. Now it's good, I can't say anything like this in the future. , I will never embarrass myself."
The Seventh Prince himself did not cause any trouble for her, but the Seventh Prince's companion, her own nephew, was the one who broke her heart!
"Let's ask Chen Jing to come over and tell King Qin how Xiaojiu has been these past two days." The imperial concubine gathered her strength and ordered, "Xiaoqi said everything, but I don't believe him! It's not like he helped his brothers cover up. Once or twice.”
Fortunately, Chen Jing also said that King Qin and the Ninth Prince had not caused any trouble recently.
But there is no progress...
King Qin was still ready to go out to eat, drink and have fun; the Ninth Prince was intimidated by the imperial concubine and did not dare to act too much. Anyway, he just didn't like to study and complained of illness every now and then.
Chunjia is still more concerned about King Qin, because this is the first child and he has watched him grow up. Even if he does not expect King Qin to be the prince, he still hopes that King Qin will learn well.
But for the Ninth Prince, he didn't care much.
After all, this son was ranked low in the rankings, and his biological mother had no sense of existence. Chunjia had never paid much attention to him. Originally, the identity of Yunfeng Huang's heir deserved the emperor's special attention. But later Yun Fenghuang had his own son, Prince Jin. At that time, everyone in the Huanhua Palace only cared about Prince Jin. Who cared about the Ninth Prince
The Ninth Prince is very stable and doesn't care. He has determined that he can only be the king of the vassal, and he has his mother and concubine to take care of him. He is very stable. Even if he heard rumors that he was going to be crowned king in the past two days, he did not panic at all.
I even had the time to skip class to play Cuju with the King of Qin...
"... Sir, you don't talk about him now?" Yun Fenghuang pinched his forehead and asked with a sigh.
When her children had not grown up before, she had worried about how to convince them to support their biological Prince Jin if everyone wanted to be the crown prince
The results are good now. King Qin is not that good. The seventh prince is honest and has no ambitions. The ninth prince... the ninth prince just wants to win.
There is no need to worry about the children starting to fight on their own. The key point is, don’t each of them know how to work hard for their brothers? ?
"...Gentlemen said we should take it slow." Chen Jing was a little embarrassed, "How about I rush over tomorrow to say hello?"
There is no way, the Ninth Prince is too salty, and salty fish is natural.
The gentlemen repeatedly disciplined him, but he said righteously and sternly: "This prince wants to be crowned king anyway. Whether he can be crowned in a good place depends on his mother and concubine. If you think that my prince's talents and virtues are shallow and he is not worthy of a wealthy vassal country, you can't." Go talk to my prince’s mother and concubine about this! Go! If you don’t dare to go, you will bully me!”
Several wives sued Chunjia in anger, but after Chunjia pretended to reprimand the Ninth Prince, he considered the concubine's protection of the children and decided that there was no need to risk being scolded by the concubine for such a small matter. ...So Yun Fenghuang made a lot of preparations and waited, but the emperor didn't mention it at all, and he pretended that nothing had happened!
After all, he has many princes under his knees now. Since the ninth prince has no intention of competing for the throne and just wants to win, from Chunjia's point of view... then just win.
Anyway, the majestic emperor can’t afford to raise a son who only knows how to eat and is lazy
It's not good for a son like this who doesn't think about getting to the next level to be too outstanding. The Ninth Prince was not willing to study hard, so Chunjia thought there was no need to force him.
However, the teachers in the school were not willing to give in. They felt that even if they had no ambitions and just wanted to be the prince of a vassal, they could not waste the opportunity to go to school... Chunjia agreed with their views, but as the emperor, he definitely did not have the time to keep an eye on him. The Ninth Prince, no one else, except the imperial concubine, can suppress this prince.
The key is here, the ladies don’t dare to argue with the imperial concubine.
But the emperor didn’t dare!
So the Ninth Prince has been living happily until now...
Yun Fenghuang was a little weak: "Do you think I should show Xiao Jiu some sex?"
"But His Highness feels that you are reluctant to part with him after all." Chen Jing whispered, "When you punished him in the past, he always felt this way..."
He implicitly reminded the concubine, "...when His Highness Prince Jin was punished earlier, it was His Highnesses the Seventh Prince and the Ninth Prince who visited him."
At that time, the seventh prince and the ninth prince wanted to comfort King Jin, but King Jin said that he was not sad at all: "My mother and concubine have beaten me so many times, and I will be fine if I lie down for two days at most. It can be seen that my mother and concubine are not willing to let me go." Strike hard! Brother Seventh and Brother Ninth, think about the palace maids who broke the rules before and were punished by the imperial cane. Which one was either dead or disabled? Don't worry, my mother-in-law is just trying to scare me. I'm not afraid!"
I have heard this kind of words from the Seventh and Ninth Princes many times, and in addition, Yun Fenghuang is much kinder to them than to Prince Jin, but don’t you think from the bottom of your heart that Yun Fenghuang will not do anything to them no matter what
Yun Fenghuang: "..."
She said expressionlessly, "I remember it, but I haven't beaten Prince Jin for three days, right? I'll call him over later, and I'll find a reason to show him off!"
"Your Highness, don't be like this." Zuo Zuo couldn't help but hurriedly advised, "His Royal Highness, Prince Jin, has become more sensible in the past two days. He said earlier that he wanted to be a good student in school, so I can't live up to your expectations!"
"He has said this kind of thing eight hundred times if not a thousand times. Do you believe it?" Yun Fenghuang sneered and suddenly felt that something was wrong, "Wait a minute, he is so good, why does he say good things to you? Is it another time? the fat is in the fire?!"
The attendants were stunned and quickly recalled what happened recently. After a moment, they said uncertainly: "This... shouldn't be true? No one has come to complain recently?"
"Go and check." Yun Fenghuang was worried and shouted softly, "Although this kid talks sweetly and asks for no money, how can he usually make such a guarantee? Forget it, since you haven't noticed it yet, I'm afraid he has concealed it well. , it’s better to bring the person over and beat him first before asking any questions!”
After a while, King Jin was led over rather anxiously. As soon as he met his face, he hurriedly flattered: "Mother and concubine, I miss you so much! Why haven't you summoned me these days? Do you not like it? Is this your son?"
Very good, this kid has the potential to be a dishonest person when he grows up!
She didn't even say anything, but she was blamed!
Yunfeng Huangpi smiled and said, "I didn't summon you, so you didn't come to say hello, right?"
"I'm afraid of disturbing you!" King Jin came over and said sweetly, "It's not that cousin Xincheng's wedding is coming soon. Everyone is saying that you are busy! Although I miss you very much, I'm afraid. Coming here rashly will delay you from doing your business, right? If I had known that my mother and concubine were free, I would have been the first to come and accompany you!"
He also touched his fair and tender cheeks, pretending to be sad and said, "Look, I miss you so much that I have lost weight!"
"Good boy." Yun Fenghuang pinched his face without sincerity, thinking to himself, I believe you, why do I see you gaining weight again
He said, "I heard that you told the Qing people two days ago that you will study hard in the future?"
"...Yes." King Jin shrank his head, showing an obvious guilty look, and whispered.
Yun Fenghuang's smile became even brighter: "Why did you remember to say this?"
"My son... I, my son, go to school well, isn't that what you should do?" King Jin quietly looked at her expression, and immediately shuddered when he saw the bright smile on the concubine's face.
He didn't understand when he was a child. He thought it was okay when he saw the imperial concubine smiling, but the next moment he was held down and beaten violently... After a few times, he understood that the expression on his mother's face was completely unpredictable.
Even sometimes speaking harshly will not do anything to him.
What I fear the most is that someone with such a smile might fall out with him!
Prince Jin looked around calmly, wondering which direction he should run if his mother started to roll up her sleeves later.
On the face, he smiled apologetically and said, "My son, I just feel that I am too old to be as ignorant as I was when I was a child..."
"If you tell the truth, I won't beat you." Yun Fenghuang touched his face and said softly, "Otherwise, just turn around and look."
Prince Jin turned his head reluctantly and was stunned!
But he saw that the ebony lacquer plate held by Hong Calyx was stacked with densely packed rulers of various colors. In addition to the rulers of various woods, there were also gold and jade colors in the middle. I'm afraid there were at least dozens of them!
"..." King Jin quickly turned his head and said with a smile, "Mother and concubine, what are you doing? This son is your own child..."
"So no matter how I deal with you, no one will say that I am harsh on the emperor's heir." Yun Fenghuang stroked his hair and smiled faintly, "I will only think you are naughty, huh?"
King Jin: "..."
His expression changed several times and he was thinking rapidly, but Hong Calyx did not dare to neglect and approached briskly.
Seeing Yun Fenghuang gently raising his wrist, picking through a pile of children's rulers, with the intention of picking up the red gold ruler, he finally couldn't stand it anymore, "Concubine, I am young! You can use this to beat me." My son, what should I do if I make a mistake and get into trouble?!"
"It's okay, I've been beating you for so many years, when have you ever failed?" Yun Fenghuang sneered, "Besides, didn't you tell your seventh brother and ninth brother before that I'm merciful and resolute because I'm determined not to do anything to you? Like? Why, do you have the guts to trick your seventh brother and ninth brother into not learning well and not trusting your mother and concubine when it’s your turn?"
"... I didn't mean to trick Ninth Brother on purpose!" King Jin blurted out after hearing this, "Ninth Brother doesn't have that intention, how can he listen to it?"
"Huh?" Yun Fenghuang was stunned. She was just habitually suspicious and wanted to deal with this kid, but this sounds like? ?
