"Do you really want to tell Miss Luo to the Ninth Prince?" Since King Qin and the Seventh Prince didn't name a specific girl they liked in the end, Yun Fenghuang talked to them for a while and then told all three sons. After dismissing it, while holding a tea bowl and thinking deeply, Qingren came in to serve and whispered, "Miss Luo Di is of high birth, and she is fully qualified to be the prince's concubine. Although this lady is not like the three ladies of Wei Shuhan, she is in the imperial capital. He has a reputation for talent, but in terms of popularity, he is unparalleled..."
If this is told to the Ninth Prince, in the future, the Ninth Prince will just follow his own example of not seeking improvement.
What if he had other thoughts
With such a virtuous wife, and the Luo family, not only a sure shot, but also a formidable enemy of King Jin!
"Since you know that Luo Di is good, these people in the palace are not blind." Yun Fenghuang said slowly, "Rather than calling a good boy to give others an advantage, it is better to tell Xiaojiu that he has accepted his request. This is also to give me a backup plan in the future. After all, King Jin is still young. Seeing that the turmoil in the previous dynasty is about to arise, at his current age, he is not qualified to make the ministers worry about him. "
After all, throughout the ages, the rule of establishing a prince has generally been to establish a direct descendant without direct descendants.
In addition, it is to establish talents.
It's just that the standards for virtuous people are different, and it's easy to cause disputes. Generally speaking, emperors who choose virtuous people have selfish motives.
For example, if you pamper a young concubine in your later years and want to abolish the eldest son and establish a younger one, you can only say that although the younger son is younger and lower in the ranking, he is better than the eldest son in every way.
Otherwise, how could we oppose the rule of ordering elders and younger ones
The emperor's plan to establish a virtuous person has not yet been exposed. No, even if it is exposed, most of the ministers will definitely support the establishment of a direct descendant or an elder, and they will definitely have to fight for it.
It would have been fine if Chunjia was determined to make him King of Jin, but he was not.
He just wanted to choose the most outstanding prince in all aspects to inherit the throne.
In this case, the care he gave to the Xuanqing Palace was to give the concubines the opportunity to compete for the crown prince. It was impossible to openly sideline the princes. Even because the direct battle between the princes had not yet begun, he did not even allow it. Yun Fenghuang helped his sons get rid of the middle palace first... I also knew that if no one in the previous dynasty proposed to establish the Jin Dynasty, the emperor himself would never give the permission.
Then Xuanqing Palace must have a prince who can take on the challenge.
If the King of Qin were to succeed, Yun Fenghuang would definitely support the King of Qin. After all, as the eldest son of the emperor, he would naturally outperform the other princes.
The key is that King Qin cannot do it.
The seventh prince is likable in every way, but the imperial concubine knows that people's hearts are fickle. The most important thing is that it is good that the seventh prince does not get involved in the dispute over the country. As long as Yun Fenghuang guarantees his safety, the Yin family is a very reliable ally. .
Once this son is promoted to be the crown prince, you don't need to think about it to know that the most important thing for the Yin family is to kill her, the mother-in-law!
The reason is very simple. With Yun Fenghuang's methods and temperament, how could the Yin family believe that after she became the queen mother, she would not interfere with the seventh prince's governance without relying on filial piety and mother-son affection
You must know that Chun Jia is actually very heartless in the eyes of the Yin family and other high-ranking families, and he still tolerates Queen Mother Yuan and Queen Mother Qu again and again.
Let alone a child like the Seventh Prince who is absolutely pure and filial in the eyes of the Yin family
When the time comes, he will no longer be able to obey Yun Fenghuang's words, and he will be like a puppet.
With how much Yin Qu, Yin Nu Luo and his daughter love the Seventh Prince, how can they tolerate someone who always puts pressure on the Seventh Prince
Therefore, Yun Fenghuang would never encourage or even give the seventh prince a chance. Even the seventh prince's concubine, who said she wanted to discuss with the Yin family, would never choose someone so troublesome.
It is best to be an innocent and indifferent little girl who is pampered by her family, pursues romance, and treats fame and wealth like dirt.
After getting married, the Seventh Prince played music, chess, calligraphy, painting, poetry, and wine. Don't think about anything else.
"... I hope our Highness will grow up quickly." Qingren sighed and said, "I don't know what kind of girl will be worthy of our Highness in the future?"
After all, King Jin is still young. When he reaches the age to discuss marriage, it is difficult to predict the situation of the girls of the same age in each family.
The people of the Qing Dynasty inquired about Yun Fenghuang's arrangements for King Qin and the Seventh Prince: "Since the Ninth Prince is decided to be Miss Luo Di, I don't know that His Highness King Qin also has His Highness the Seventh Prince. Does the Queen have any arrangements?"
"Xiao Qi will discuss with the Yin family. Even if I have an idea, I will always ask them." Yun Fenghuang said, "As for King Qin... I am still considering it."
The main reason is that she knows very well that the most outstanding girls from each family don't really want to give it to King Qin.
But, as the emperor's eldest daughter-in-law, without any ability, why should she suppress her sisters-in-law
Yun Fenghuang can count on the future Princess Qin to help beat the concubines of other princes in the palace. No matter how unsatisfactory the eldest son is, his status as eldest son and eldest daughter-in-law will still be useful.
The imperial concubine thought for a moment and said, "What do you think of Wei Shuhan?"
"Isn't Miss Wei's reputation as a talented woman fake?" Qingren said subconsciously, "In fact, she is not as talented as the outside world says?"
Yun Fenghuang said calmly: "I don't want my daughter-in-law to take the imperial examination in the future. The fact that I can be known as a talented woman is because of the good management of the Wei family. Back then, Beidi said that I am gentle, considerate, virtuous and virtuous. I am a virtuous woman. What is your nature, you don’t know?”
Qingren asked: "What's so bad about your Majesty? Is she even comparable to Wei Shuhan?"
"..." Yun Fenghuang was speechless for a moment, and did not argue with her on this topic. He only said, "Although the Wei family has always been on our side because of Concubine De, there is no more stable relationship after all. The third princess is also older. Well, after choosing her son-in-law, Concubine De actually has nothing major to worry about in the future. I am thinking about getting closer to the Wei family. If nothing else, let’s just say that Her Royal Highness Princess Dongxing is still at this point. There is always a certain amount of face in the clan."
The sisters-in-law, the eldest princess of Dongxing and the empress dowager, are the rare longevity of the Gongxiang family, and they are very old and healthy. In recent years, they have not even had a headache or fever, and they seem to be able to live for a long time.
Originally, the eldest princess was not the kind of nameless and marginal person in the clan. Because she chose the right team, Chun Jia, her status in the clan became higher and higher.
Although Chunjia didn't care about this at all, as long as the emperor didn't take action personally, the Wei family was still worth winning over.
"Empress, if that's the case, then where is the Cui family?" Qingren reminded, "Since the Eighteenth Young Master passed away, although the relationship between Cui family and us has not become estranged, it cannot be said to be very close. You don't agree. Miss Mengmeng married into the royal family, but Cui didn't say anything, but she may not have regrets in her heart. Why not choose Cui's daughter as a daughter-in-law to prevent Cui from having an affair? After all, the Wei family is closer, but they don't necessarily need to give. One of them holds the position of a royal concubine.”
He added, "Furthermore, His Royal Highness the King of Qin is the heir of Concubine Zhenxi Shu. As his concubine, it is appropriate for a daughter of the Yun family to take the position. After all, the Yun family is the mother's father's family in name only. In these years, there has never been any If we lose contact, we can’t not take care of him at all.”
And this move can further bind the Yun family...
Yun Fenghuang pondered and nodded slightly: "That's not bad. Let me think about it again. Anyway, if nothing unexpected happens, King Qin's main concubine will be either Cui Nanye or Wei Shuhan."
As for the Seventh Prince, considering the opinions of the Yin family and his daughter, it is hard to make a decision right now.
After discussing her sons' marriage, she pinched her eyebrows and said, "By the way, who do you think is suitable for Li'er's wife?"
"My maid really hopes that Mr. Li can marry into a famous family like Mr. Fu Wang." Qingren sighed, "But Mr. Li can't take the imperial examination. After all, he is worse."
Xie Li's talent was average. Although he followed the prince and took classes from the most knowledgeable teachers in the world, his progress was still not optimistic.
Yun Fenghuang had passed the college entrance examination privately and thought he was the kind of person who would be able to be a scholar at most in his life.
If you want to pass the examination, you have to be lucky, perform extraordinarily well and catch up with the teacher who appreciates him.
With such a level, it is impossible to reach a high position as an official. If you work outside, you can learn something, but you may not be immune to the enemy taking advantage of the situation... Yun Fenghuang now has few sons and nephews, and they are all precious, but he is reluctant to let them go. go out. I plan to stay by my side and take care of him, and let Chunjia help me if I have the chance.
In this way, although this nephew certainly does not expect to be a very popular minister in the future, he can at least live a comfortable and safe life.
Under this situation, if Xie Li had strong support from his in-law family, his future would undoubtedly be better... Yun Fenghuang sighed in her heart, it was really her brother Xie Xiaoyu who made the wrong move.
If Xie Xiaoyu hadn't killed his wife and son back then, and Xie Li had failed to live up to his expectations, relying on his uncle's relationship with the Cui family, he wouldn't be able to marry his legitimate daughter, but at least marrying a concubine would be no problem.
When the time comes, Xie Xiaoyu will lead him to interact with Mr. Cui a few times. Are you still afraid that the old guy Cui Wan won't worry about your grandson-in-law
It's good now. Yun Fenghuang is too embarrassed to propose marriage to Xie Li and the Cui family.
Not only the Cui family, but also other high-ranking sects.
It was Princess Yun'an who took the initiative to talk about the marriage that Xie Fu had forgotten, and she did so under the guise of Princess Jinxi having a bad fate.
Now Xie Li has no such good things coming to his door.
But Yun Fenghuang was unwilling to let him marry someone who was close to him.
At this moment, I thought about it and finally said, "I'll try to test Concubine De's tone tomorrow."
Concubine De was always afraid of her, so maybe she had to force herself and send a niece to help her
The conversation between the master and the servant came to an end, and someone came to report that there was another news coming from Shanyuan Temple.
"What's the important thing?" Yun Fenghuang was a little tired now and didn't want to talk nonsense, "Forget it if it's still the past that Shenzong had nothing to do with us."
Chie said: "If I tell you, the little Taoist girl is gone."
Yun Fenghuang was startled. Because of his fatigue, he didn't react for a moment: "What?"
"It's the little Taoist nun that the Qian family and their daughter have been talking about." Chie whispered, "Just now, they said that she had slipped and fell into the water... The Qian family and her daughter were so frightened that they kept begging our people, saying that they must be merciful to the empress. Let them leave the Taoist temple, otherwise they might be next!"
Yun Fenghuang's thoughts whirled and he said in a deep voice: "Nonsense! They are the wives and daughters of a dignified imperial official. How dare the Taoist temple do anything bad to them? Besides, I remember that there are indeed some water pools near Shanyuan Temple. , it’s not surprising that the little Taoist nun had an accident..."
"Empress, no." Chie said hurriedly, "The second daughter of the Qian family said that the little Taoist girl knew how to swim and was very skilled in swimming... The pond where she drowned was only a little big, and there were no mature aquatic plants in it. Damn it, how could something happen to that little Taoist nun? She must have been silenced!"
