The queen's niece was worrying about herself, but Yun Fenghuang's nieces were trembling under her aunt's gaze: "... If I want to go back to my aunt, my nieces and nephews, please, please go back?"
"It doesn't matter." Yun Fenghuang squinted his eyes, examined the girl in front of him for a moment, and then said with a chuckle, "Bu Nao is just staying with Zhao Qing for one night. Is it a big deal? It's worth being so scared... Just stay here Come on. If you feel uncomfortable, it doesn't matter if you stay for another two months. After all, the palace is not as restrictive as the palace."
Her biological niece, Xie Mengmeng, the daughter of Xie Xiaoyu and Xiao Cui, will be seven years old next year. She does not look like her father or mother, but she accidentally passed on to her aunt Cui Lianye.
When I was with Concubine Shu, I didn't know how to think that the princess born from Concubine Shu had a similar facial features.
Just a pair of eyebrows have Xie Xiaoyu's Yongxuan look.
The child's name was chosen by Mrs. Xiao Cui at the request of Yun Fenghuang after she came to the Imperial Capital.
It was a cold spring at that time. Yun Fenghuang looked at his young niece and thought of the time he spent with Xie Xiaoyu in the boudoir. At that time, Xie Xiaoyu taught her that "Begonia does not hesitate to be rouge, independent and confused in the rain [Note]", and said in detail Yu is the origin of his name... The youngest brother was born in the spring moon.
So he and his niece took the word "Mengmeng".
Originally, she wanted to raise Xie Mengmeng like Xie Meng, but Xiao Cui was not willing. Yun Fenghuang thought that her stepsister-in-law was a young widow, and it would be unkind to take away her only daughter. If not, just give up.
It turns out that in the past two years, Mrs. Cui had frequently hinted that she had taken Xie Mengmeng into the palace to raise her.
Especially after Xie Meng married Deng Chengzhai, he was very favored by Deng Chengzhai. Xiao Cui regretted it and felt that her daughter's future was delayed by following her.
Yun Fenghuang was helpless. Xie Meng was her biological niece. What happened to Xie Mengmeng
It was the elders' turn to show their affection for Donglai. In fact, Xie Mengmeng was more interested in Xie Mengzhi. After all, she was much closer to Xie Xiaoyu than to Xie Xiliu.
Even though Xie Xiaoyu made a big mistake and cheated her, but... are flesh and blood relatives close relatives
No, a few months ago, Xiao Cui directly proposed to marry her daughter to the seventh prince or the king of Jin. After being rejected by Yun Fenghuang, she just settled in Qishan Villa and couldn't wait to send Xie Mengmeng in. Gong came to play with Zhaoqing.
Let's just play. The important thing is that the moonlight was getting dusk at that time. When Yun Fenghuang planned to send someone to take his niece out of the palace, Xie Mengmeng hesitated and said that her mother would let her stay in the palace tomorrow night with cousin Zhaoqing. Talk more and shut up.
Yun Fenghuang didn't know what was going on. Xiao Cui's drunkard didn't care about drinking. He was very close to Zhao Qing. Whether he was looking for opportunities to get close to the Seventh Prince or King Jin was very similar.
There is a high probability that he will not be the king of the Jin Dynasty, because the seventh prince has been waiting in the courtyard of the Empress Dowager during those two months, so it is not a secret.
"... Niece, why don't you go back." Xie Mengmeng was young and was confused by his mother's calculations and his aunt's plans. However, he could have sensed that his aunt was not happy, so he became frightened and whispered. He said, "Anyway... Anyway, my niece is back, and my mother won't do anything to her."
"That's what I said, as if I stayed in the East and came to this palace. What will they do to me." Yun Fenghuang laughed. Then Xiao Cui was in front of her. She couldn't help but beat her, but her niece was different after all. Not so big for a child.
She softened her expression and teased Xie Mengmeng, "In Mengmeng's mind, is that aunt of mine so cruel?"
Seeing Xie Mengmeng's disoriented denial, the imperial concubine smiled and teased a few more words, and then arranged for her to go to Zhaoqing's side, "We sisters, let's go make out, I won't disturb us."
After her niece walked away, she asked with some boredom, "Over there in the Cui Mansion, those two months have been very busy trying to persuade the eighteenth sister-in-law? It seems that I have been so good at shutting up recently that someone actually How dare you cause trouble to me again and again!"
"It seems that the biological mother of the 18th Young Madam is dying." Chen Jing came out and said, "It seems that during the confinement period, the 18th Young Madam was worried about Miss Meng, and she was worried that they would not be able to live well in the future if they were orphans and widowed. good."
Yun Fenghuang softened her tone after hearing the words. She didn't care about Cui Wan's concubine, but Xiao Cui, how should I put it, was indeed tricked by Xie Xiaoyu.
A daughter of a noble family, she decided to marry Xie Xiaoyu because she was the concubine's brother and had good character. It turned out that only two years after getting married, she had no time to give birth to a son, and her husband's murder of his first wife's legitimate son was exposed... Yun Fenghuang, right? I don't mind if she remarries, just leave Dong Xie Mengmeng alone.
But Cui Wan, despite her family reputation and her relationship with the imperial concubine, was not willing to let her daughter keep her integrity.
That's why Yun Fenghuang was more tolerant of his sister-in-law, and his mother-in-law was also more tolerant. He pondered for a moment before saying, "I really don't know what that woman was thinking. Back then, the great Xie family They all pointed at me to celebrate the confinement period. Why can’t I protect them, mother and daughter?”
Seeing that Chen Jing and Qing Ren were hesitant to speak, they raised their eyebrows and said, "What's the matter? Even we think that I am unreliable?"
"Your Majesty, it's not like that. The biological mother of the Eighteenth Young Lady is probably afraid that the Imperial Majesty will not take care of the Eighteenth Young Lady." The Qing people reminded in a low voice, "But are you worried that the Imperial Majesty will marry the Prince Consort?" The lady on the east side of the eldest princess's palace had wronged Miss Meng. After all, there is not much age difference between Miss Meng and those two... Although there are two princes in front of the empress, but from the behavior of the eighteenth young lady during her confinement Let’s see, maybe you are worried about Miss Meng’s promise to the Prince of Qin’s Palace or the Ninth Prince’s Palace.”
She didn't say it, but Yun Fenghuang had really forgotten it.
Although Xie Wuzheng and Sui'an never had children after their marriage, in the early years, they could not comfort Sui'an's mood. Xie Wuzheng once adopted twin sisters and raised them in front of the eldest princess.
Because he had promised to have an adopted child, and he really didn't like the adopted child, it was not considered an adoption. He could just arrange for him to stay with Sui'an to relieve his boredom.
But for many years, the couple has always had a void at their knees, and the other sister is almost the same as the daughter.
In this case, why don't Xie Wuzheng and Sui'an help them plan their future
In those days, a woman's future was limited to marriage.
So the most ungrateful husband's family is undoubtedly the royal family... I must also ask to be married to Prince Yunfeng Huangzudong.
Sui'an grew up in the palace, but because she was a girl who could not inherit the throne, and because her aunt Ji Sheng came from a wealthy family, although she did not treat the daughters who were born as concubines as if they were their own children, she did not bother to deliberately make things difficult for her. Therefore, the eldest princess did not suffer much when she was growing up, and her thoughts were not particularly deep. However, can Xie Wuzheng be the master of the Xie family who is best at intrigues besides Yun Fenghuang? Will he let the twin sisters be promised to the likes of the King of Qin who have a clear future of being a vassal at most
It should not be possible.
Anyone who is optimistic about the future of the imperial concubine and wants a bright future for his daughter will naturally aim at the King of Jin; if he loves his daughter wholeheartedly and wants to find a noble person for his daughter, he will most likely aim at the seventh prince.
All in all, there is a high probability that Xie Wuzheng will also like the two princes that Xiao Cui is interested in.
Does this understand the eagerness of Xiao Cui's biological mother? In the future, King Jin will seek to compete for the position of crown prince. In this case, the concubine will definitely not have the turn of a girl named Xie.
It must be necessary to marry a legitimate daughter of a noble family who can provide assistance to the King of Jin.
But she doesn't mind if her granddaughter Xie Mengmeng becomes a concubine. The key is that there are only two concubines.
The King of Jin did not claim to be his legitimate son, and he did not even have an advantage in ranking. Although the queen was not favored, the tenth and twelfth princes had actual jade plates recording the birth of legitimate princes.
