At the beginning of the new year, Yun Fenghuang discussed with the queen, asking to hold a banquet during the summer vacation so as to find suitable spouses for the emperor's heirs.
Although the summer vacation had just begun at that time, after all, it was a big matter and many people were concerned about it. In addition, there had been nothing to do in recent months and everyone was very busy, so they couldn't help but want to get it done first.
Concubine De came to the house with the three princesses, and expressed her meaning to Yun Fenghuang tactfully: "As the saying goes, you know the person but not the heart. When a person comes to the palace for a banquet, anyone who is not stupid should pretend to be a little bit. Does it look like it? How can we know the real good or bad then? If we visit and inquire in daily life, as the saying goes, family scandals should not be made public, I am afraid that it may be heard, and it may not be the truth. So my sister thought, it is better to live it. We set up a table for two months, taking advantage of the fact that Ruming is away from the summer heat, and they come here a few times every now and then. After seeing this too much, I'm afraid that the one with the problem will not show off."
Yun Fenghuang felt that she was too hasty: "There are only two sisters in the head, are you afraid that Bidong won't care? After all, there are more princes than princesses in the palace."
But Concubine De felt that Chunjia really didn't care. After all, she was very dignified and doting in front of Chunjia, but the daughter on the east side of her knees was timid and not at all like Zhaoqing in front of the concubine. She was scared when she saw Chunjia.
When I was a child, it was easy to say that it was unusual for little girls to be timid.
Ruming has grown into a half-grown child, but he still avoids his biological father everywhere. He sees the emperor like a mouse and a cat.
If Chunjia was just such a daughter, she might have developed a bit of pity and ruthlessness, and even had no time to find out why she was afraid of him... Obviously Chunjia had never been cruel to the third princess.
But there are only a dozen or so princesses at the emperor's knees.
Five years ago, Li Jieyu gave birth to ten princesses. In those five years, several Wei concubines also gave birth to children one after another...
With such a large number of heirs, and the fact that Princess Zhaoqing was famous for her jealousy, even her brother King Qin, who grew up with her, was jealous, let alone her other younger siblings.
In short, Chunjia was wrong because the third princess was afraid of him. Although he was puzzled, he had no time and didn't bother to delve deeper.
Anyway, the eldest daughter is beautiful, cruel, clingy and smart, and has fully satisfied the needs of his wrong daughter.
If the other daughters are not willing to get close to him, then they shouldn't get close to him.
It saved him the trouble of appeasing his jealous eldest daughter.
Therefore, it is clear that the three princesses have no sense of presence in front of the emperor as his own mother, Concubine De.
The palace concubines received rewards, and the virtuous concubines took part in them time and time again.
Chunjia gave things to her children, but Yun Fenghuang reminded her that the three princesses would definitely have no share.
"The princess said there are not many of them, there are about ten." Concubine De sighed at this moment and said, "Does my sister know that Yan'er is such a naughty person? To put it bluntly, it's a good thing that my sister is her biological mother. Otherwise, With her temperament, nine out of ten sisters will be suspected of mistreating the princess! From childhood, she has been taught how to pamper her too tightly. Doesn't her sister wonder why the child can't stand up? You know? It's just that she's afraid of other people, but she's just a girl after all. But how could she be afraid of Bi Dong? Bi Dong was obviously not bad at faulting her, so he didn't even say a harsh word! Like Zhao Qing, who used to be naughty, I was very frightened by Bidong. At that time, I was very affectionate and affectionate with Bidong? Is that what a real father and daughter look like? Jian'er... ugh!"
Apart from the imperial heir in front of her, the imperial concubine is most familiar with the three imperial daughters of Gong Xiangzhang.
Naturally, it was also clear that the princess was always afraid of Chunjia, and since she didn't care about Chunjia, she didn't care about it.
After listening to Concubine De's complaint, she just said: "Maybe Yan'er is a child who is not close to her father. Isn't she very close to me? Some children are not close to their mother. Daddy, there's nothing we can do about it. Are we simply Bidong's biological flesh and blood? Bidong is so pathetic?"
Concubine De sighed: "I was just very naive when I was a child. Now that I am as old as Mingdu, I am very ignorant."
As the emperor's heir, what's the use of kissing your mother again
After all, my mother is just a concubine!
I just pretended to be a little bit wrong about my biological father's feelings so that he could worry about me!
Is Concubine De really envious of Yun Fenghuang? Every one of the emperor's heirs in front of her could not avoid Chun Jia.
Like Princess Zhaoqing, like the King of Jin, she had been scolded by Chunjia no less than two or three times. She wiped her tears and walked away, then turned around and laughed with her own father... After all, Concubine De had served Chunjia for many years, but she didn't know what to do. The emperor scolded and scolded, but he must have felt in his heart that with such a child, he could really be regarded as his father.
Really get close to him from the bottom of your heart
Concubine De hoped that the third princess would do the same, but if her daughter didn't cooperate, there was nothing she could do.
At that time, I took the imperial concubine to talk about the difficulties of raising her daughter, and then thought of her son who died young. She couldn't help but shed tears and said: "Back then, when my knees were empty, I just thought it would be better to have a child." . I was young at that time, and I thought that I would have no more worries after having a child. Who knew that after having a child, the worries would begin. Sister, I said that Yang'er was so timid at that time, not like a royal princess at all. From now on. Dongsheng, if the prince-in-law is harsh on her, my sister is really worried, she won't even come back to the palace to complain to us."
"What should I do with my child's temperament?" Yun Fenghuang sighed, "Please, let me grow some useful human legs for her and marry her in the future. In this way, if she doesn't say anything about being wronged, I'll do whatever it takes. There can also be someone who can tip off the information."
"That's all." Concubine De said depressedly, "So my sister thought that she must find a generous and honest person for her, so it doesn't matter whether she is born or not."
Her son died of smallpox, and she only had a daughter in front of her. Did she really put all her efforts into thinking about the third princess
Unfortunately, the daughter's nature limited her performance.
No matter how unwilling you are, you have to admit that given the temperament of the third emperor's daughter, it may not be a good thing to force her to find someone to win her over.
"Are there enough candidates like that?" Yun Fenghuang comforted, "I think about it, among the big families, there are always a few outstanding ones. Most of them are mediocre people who have not inherited the training from the young court but are limited to Ziren. There were a lot of people there, so it would not be difficult to pick someone with an honest nature among them. Besides, Jian'er's status and appearance could not help them treat him with respect and respect. Can Ru Ming be the first emperor? At that time, the royal family was in decline, and it was necessary to look at outsiders. She has a beautiful face, so can she be gentler? Who dares to bully her? Do you really think Gongxiang can keep her mouth shut?"
The voice lowered, "I think about the niece who was driven home by the queen before. Although Bidong is busy with government affairs and has no time to care about each of his children, is he his biological flesh and blood? How can he allow outsiders to bully her?"
Especially when Chunjia himself came to the throne, he suffered the disadvantages of his relatives being in power. What he hated the most was that outsiders had the power to override the Gongxiang family's bloodline.
Thinking about it, Concubine De felt a lot more relaxed.
She was no longer so worried about the future of the third princess, and asked about Zhaoqing's marriage with great interest: "Even my sister has been asked by many people, saying that she wants the children in the family to show her... It doesn't matter if she doesn't. Everyone in the family who has seen Zhaoqing wants to have a chance to show her something to the empress. If there is no chance, then it will be a real regret."
Yun Fenghuang smiled heavily when he thought of Chunjia's rejection before, and said lightly: "Did I know that although I have two empresses and nine empresses in front of me, Ruming, among the daughters, Zhaoqing is the best?" What I want. She is not a pampered child, so the choice of the consort must be based on her own liking. The rest will be discussed later. After all, the child has his own ideas and is old, but I don’t want to be too Force her."
Of course, this can't be said to outsiders.
The eldest daughter of the emperor who was deeply concerned about, and her beauty was extraordinary, and she had attracted countless powerful children at the age of thirteen... With such a good bargaining chip, how could Yun Fenghuang fulfill Princess Zhaoqing's "own liking"
The person her daughter likes has the same interests as hers, so she is not willing to go along with the situation and become a good person.
If you don't agree, you can't be wrong. She, Concubine Min, can't rely on luck to reach the bright moon. There are ways to play the mandarin ducks!
Ru Ming and Zhaoqing were not ruthless people who should not be ruthless. The imperial concubine behaved like a loving mother and said sternly, "I have worked hard in that palace for many years to gain Ru Ming's status and power. What are you doing?" ? Otherwise, my children can be happier and more comfortable? If I can't protect them, what's the point of my efforts over the years?"
Those words made Concubine De stand in awe, and she couldn't help but say: "Sister, let me tell you something heartbreaking: When I saw my sister mistakenly treating Zhaoqing and the others as if they were her own, I thought she would just show it to Bidong. If so, Only now do I know that my sister is really mean-spirited, and she really broke her heart when she wronged those children!"
Yun Fenghuang didn't blush and said calmly: "It's not as important to cultivate kindness as to cultivate kindness in ancient times. Even if you are not my biological child, how are you different from your biological child after you were raised to this day?" "
After she finished her eloquent talk and saw off Concubine De, she turned around and remembered something. She summoned Chen Jing and asked, "Over at Shanyuan Temple, is there any news from Ru Ming?"
"Returning to the empress, the Qian family and their daughter had turned against each other by then." Chen Jing said after hearing this, "They didn't even want to live in the same place. They even tried to win over people in the audience and criticize each other... Du Langu listened outside After hearing the news, one of them was older than the other two. They had been running around for a long time, but Shanyuan Temple did not accept male visitors and did not allow him to enter at all. The news could be conveyed through Dongren. In this way, the effect of persuading peace was extremely weak. Lan Gu quietly went to deliver something yesterday..."
Yun Fenghuang was in a bad mood and said: "Then Qian's mother and daughter simply failed to achieve anything but failed. We asked them to go to the Taoist temple to practice to find out the news, but they ended up doing it themselves? Did I allow them to act in a farce?" What a bastard!"
Chen Jing was about to say something when he heard the imperial concubine ask again, "That's wrong. What happened to Ruming, the maidservant named Du whom Your Majesty gave to you?"
"Then Du Langu arranged the people in a remote courtyard, but never paid much attention to them." Chen Jing said softly, "He is probably also afraid of a fire in the back house."
The master and servant had analyzed Du Lan's good character early in the morning, and found that he had little interest in wealth, sex, alcohol, or anything else. Instead, he was focused on being a worthy minister who would be remembered for generations to come.
It's not that Hongyun Fenghuang didn't understand the sinister intention of sending his wife and daughter away, but incited the emperor to reward the beautiful maidservant. It's not reasonable not to touch it.
"That's not up to him." As for whether Yun Fenghuang was a good person, he sneered and said, "Tell Qian and her daughter that two of the maids are pregnant. If not, they It's very dishonest to do what I asked... Maybe those two maids will give birth to a male heir from Donglai. No matter how deeply affectionate Du Langu is, it's very possible that they can poison the legs of their own flesh and blood?! Let them think about what will happen to the Du family's back house when the time comes!"
"My maid, Ruming, has been pregnant for a month. If they don't hurry up and wait until the child is born, I will be willing to facilitate them. Du Langu may also feel sorry for me!"
Although the real secret does not require the Qian mother and daughter to have the ability to discern everything, but when the mother and daughter are in a hurry, it will be easier for her real confidants to act, right
