King Qin walked into the Huanhua Hall cautiously.
He had just been scolded by the emperor, and now he came to his mother and concubine, mentally prepared to face the storm.
But to his surprise, Yun Fenghuang did not have an attack. After asking him to excuse himself, he comforted him: "This is all the fault of the Gu family. My son is really wronged!"
"Mother and concubine, it's the incompetence of the son and minister that has hindered the mother and concubine." King Qin's eyes turned red when he heard this, and he choked up and said, "Just now in front of the father, the father spoke harshly and asked the son of a minister, son of a minister..."
"Your father is confused because he cares, don't take it personally." Yun Fenghuang sighed, motioned for him to sit in front of her, took one of his hands and held it, and said sincerely, "He is not only angry with you, but also angry with you. You are angry with those who plotted against you. As a prince, although you are high up, you are also the target of many interested people. Considering your age, you are also thirteen. If nothing unexpected happens, you will be vassal in two years. Now that you are being plotted, at least you have Your father is still here in this palace, and no matter how loud the official is, he can't do anything to you. When the time comes, what will you do if you leave this palace and your father's side?"
These words made King Qin unable to help but remain silent.
Although he also knew that he was not qualified enough and would probably not be able to catch Chunjia's eyes, he was the eldest son of the emperor after all, and he had been favored since childhood.
King Qin had fantasized about it. His father had always kept his promise. If...if he forced his eldest son to be the crown prince, it would be useless for the previous harem to object.
Even though he was already thirteen, Chunjia didn't mean it.
It's just that he won't be defeated in one day, but he still has this slim hope.
Because Chunjia had always been very kind to him, pampering and partial to him.
Today is the first time I have an attack with him.
But this can also be understood as the emperor feeling sorry for the imperial concubine.
His favor came not only from his status as the emperor's eldest son, but also from his adoptive mother, the imperial concubine... King Qin knew this well.
So I didn’t feel anything.
Now when he heard Yun Fenghuang mention joining the feudal clan, he suddenly realized that his father probably had no such plan.
Even if there was, after this incident, would the emperor, who was disappointed with him, still give him that kind of honor
For a time, King Qin had mixed feelings in his heart.
Yun Fenghuang saw the change in his expression, but pretended not to know. After comforting him in a soft voice, he analyzed the whole incident with him again: "... This is the Gu family. However, the Gu family would not expect to do anything to you after this incident. After all, they also know that you are your father's eldest son, and it is absolutely impossible for your father to deal with you harshly because of such things. Therefore You don’t have to worry about this matter. My mother-in-law and your father will help you deal with the aftermath. For these two days, you should stay in Qiongjiu Palace and don’t go out. Let’s wait until the storm is over.”
After sending King Qin off in such a good manner, Yun Fenghuang turned around and revealed a gloomy expression, "If this child had not already known his life experience, I would have to give him a beating myself this time!"
The people on the left and right advised: "Although His Highness King Qin knows about his life experience, his heart is still towards you, the empress. Even if you beat him, does he still dare to blame you in his heart?"
"You also said that it's not that I don't blame you, but I don't dare to blame you." Yun Fenghuang snorted, "I raised this child by myself. What kind of temperament does I still don't know? He has been supported since he was a child. I have never heard any harsh words. At this moment, I knew that I was wrong. If I was punished by me, I probably didn’t think much about it at the time. When I went to the feudal country two years later and was slightly provoked, I might feel aggrieved and thought that I That’s harsh on him!”
Of course she is not afraid of this son. The key point is that she has pampered her for so many years. Is it a loss just to make King Qin hate her for such a short time
So after Yunfeng Huang was angry, he decided to carry out his loving mother to the end.
Besides, "He came from His Majesty's side. Your Majesty has already scolded him. No matter how much I scold him, what's the use except making him feel uncomfortable? He can just be a good person."
When I said this, I thought that Chunjia was not a person who couldn't hold his temper. Besides, after all these years, he must have known about King Qin's qualifications, and he should have been selected as the heir apparent early on.
She understood the emperor's temperament. As long as he was not the son of the future prince, and acted a little nonsense, the emperor not only didn't care, but even encouraged him.
This is not because the emperor wants some of his sons to become playboys and spendthrifts, but only princes with flaws will not be jealous of the sons who will occupy the East Palace in the future and will have a good end.
For example, the emperor's two cousins, King Yi and Marquis Yongchun, had no heirs and no outstanding abilities... so the emperor became more and more affectionate and kind to them in the past two years.
If only these two brothers were extremely talented...
He must have gone down to see the regent and his wife a long time ago.
In short, Chunjia should not be so angry about King Qin's incident that he summoned him in person. Could it be that King Qin knew about his life experience and deliberately acted evil
Yun Fenghuang sighed slightly, no longer thinking about this matter, and turned to talk about the arrangements for King Qin: "His failure is also a good way to improve his memory. I have told him many times in the past, but he never takes it to heart. Go. Now is a ready opportunity, so don’t suppress the matter too easily, lest he be depressed for a day and feel that it is nothing more than that. "
The attendants were worried: "Will it damage the reputation of Xuanqing Palace too much?"
"It doesn't matter, the Central Palace is not much better at the moment anyway." Yun Fenghuang sneered, "Besides, did Gu think that if Gu Jing and her daughter were forced to death, this matter would be over? What a beautiful idea!"
While she was watching the aftermath of King Qin's incident, she was planning to continue to take revenge on the middle palace...
As a result, before she had time to take action, she received bad news: "Jin Xi had an affair?! When did this happen?! Who was she picked up by?"
Chen Jing was sweating profusely and didn't dare to get up from his knees. First he apologized, and finally he said with some trepidation: "Returning to your Majesty, it's not yet known whether Princess Jinxi has an affair. It's just that our people accidentally saw it. Princess Jinxi is outside the palace, dressed up in disguise, playing with... His Highness the Third Prince!"
Yun Fenghuang looked gloomy and said: "They are serious cousins. If they meet by chance, Jinxi is young and ignorant, and it is possible that he will be deceived by the third prince... How long has it been since he discovered it? Has anything similar happened before?"
"... After finding out, I immediately asked people to bribe the servants of Princess Yun'an's mansion. I learned that the princess has often dressed up in disguise and went out through the back door to relax in the past six months." Chen Jing whispered, "Isn't it like this every time? I don’t know about the meeting with the third prince... But looking at the cordiality between the princess and the third prince, I’m afraid they have quite a lot of determination to interact with each other.”
Although Princess Jinxi and the third prince were serious cousins, the princess had always attended a girls' school, while the third prince never went to a girls' school because the queen did not have a daughter.
In this way, they only had the chance to meet at the palace banquet.
But at the palace banquet, in full view of everyone, if there was any connection, how could Yun Fenghuang not know about it
I had never heard anything about it before, but now I heard it by chance...
Yun Fenghuang thought about it and compared Xie Fuwang and the third prince in terms of talent and appearance, and gradually turned pale.
There is no doubt that her nephew is considered a talented person among the many children of the Xie family.
He is also extremely handsome in appearance and has a generous and considerate temperament.
He can be considered a humble gentleman.
But the third prince...
Ji's legitimate daughter has the same flesh and blood as Chun Jia, not to mention her appearance. She is not on the same level as Xiefu Forget, but she will definitely not be compared to her.
In terms of talent and learning, in fact, the third prince had gradually faded away in the school in the past two years, but Yun Fenghuang knew that this man must be keeping a low profile and biding his time. In serious comparison, Xie Fuwang might not be able to compare with him.
If we talk about identity, the gap is even greater.
No matter how unpopular the third prince is, he is still a prince, and at worst he is still a future vassal king.
In addition, this kid is extremely scheming. He has tricked the Queen and the Tenth Prince so many times, but the mother and son have not noticed it so far... It is obvious.
Isn't it easy for a city like this to deal with a serious little girl like Jin Xi
And Schaeffer forgot…
Although this nephew is one year older than the third prince, due to his background, he is far less scheming than the third prince, and the weakness in his bones cannot be completely eradicated.
From the perspective of an elder like Yun Fenghuang, this weakness would cause her heartache.
But she knew well that for a girl like Jin Xi, from the perspective of a lover, she might find it boring or even despise her.
In other words, it is entirely possible for Jin Xi to fall in love with someone else...
"... Send a message to Your Highness Yun'an and ask her to come into the palace to talk about it." The imperial concubine was furious, but after thinking for a moment, she finally calmed down and said slowly, "I want to ask myself what happened. thing?!"
The marriage between Jin Xi and Xie Fuwang was not a matter of childhood sweethearts. It was only after the two parties agreed that they found a way to get their childhood sweethearts to marry.
Now Jin Xi seems to have a change of heart, or at least has a second heart, which doesn't matter.
What the imperial concubine wants is a nephew-in-law who is of noble birth and can support her nephew and receive favor from the emperor. It doesn’t matter the specific identity of this nephew-in-law, her happiness, anger, sorrow, or happiness; and Princess Yun’an must also want someone who can help her with the family. In-laws, Schaeffer's weak nature, may not be interesting in Jinxi's eyes, but in the eyes of Yun'an and his wife, they are easy to control and have a bottom line, which is a benefit.
So Jinxi’s thoughts don’t matter.
As long as Yun'an doesn't make mistakes, the marriage will not be shaken.
but…
Isn't Yun'an so confused that his daughter goes out to relax again and again and doesn't know who she is with
Yun Fenghuang was thinking a lot, waiting for the arrival of Princess Yun'an.
"What?! This is happening?!" After a while, a confused Yun An came over. After hearing the beginning, his expression suddenly changed and he said hurriedly, "I have never heard of this... Empress. Please don’t get me wrong, Jin Xi is young, and if the Third Prince orders her to travel with him as his elder brother, this child is very naive and must not know how to refuse!”
Yun Fenghuang was not surprised by her reaction, and simply said: "I naturally trust Your Highness, but Jin Xi said that she is young. After all, she is an engaged girl, and she always goes out with her cousin. Go out and say that they have a good relationship as brothers and sisters, but those who don't know don't know what to say... This will be detrimental to His Highness's reputation, right?"
"Your Majesty is right." Yun An forced a smile and said, "After I go back, I will be very disciplined. This child... This child is usually very obedient. I don't know what the third prince said to her this time to deceive her." With things like this...it seems that I can't be too doting on her in the future, I have to let her know some truth."
The eldest princess shifted all the responsibilities to the third prince, insisting that Jin Xi must have been deceived. She said many good things to her daughter in a roundabout way. Seeing that the imperial concubine's expression gradually softened, she hurriedly left and went back to deal with the matter.
