The emperor agreed to Sui'an's request, but did not give the order immediately. Instead, he went to Xuanqing Palace the next day to talk to the imperial concubine.
After all, Xie Wuzheng himself didn't matter in Chunjia's eyes, so he didn't bother to consider the mood of the consort.
Considering the difference in background between Sui'an and Xie Wuzheng, Xie Wuzheng should be grateful to God for being able to have this marriage.
As for having no heirs, it was nothing in the eyes of the emperor.
After all, if it weren't for the Shang Lord and he had a concubine sister, Xie Wuzheng would never have reached his current status in eight lifetimes.
But the imperial concubine is different after all. Now that she is pregnant, she must be extra considerate.
Fortunately, after Yun Fenghuang heard the general story, he reluctantly expressed his worries about Xie Wuzheng breaking his promise. When Chunjia stated that he would resolve the matter personally, he agreed without hesitation.
He also coaxed the emperor with sweet words.
After all, she and Xie Wuzheng were related by blood. How could she not hope that her brother would have an heir
It's just that there were many children of the Xie family back then, and there was no shortage of Xie Wuzheng to spread the branches. The most urgent problem at that time was that the lintel was too low. After the news came out that Sui'an was infertile, Xie Wuzheng decided to take advantage of it and use it. When the love sage came in exchange for career resources, she agreed.
This was an oath made in front of the emperor, how could he go back on it so easily
Now that Chunjia is willing to take the initiative to help rescue the siege, Yun Fenghuang is in a good mood.
"Your Majesty, at the banquet yesterday, Your Highness Sui'an followed your Majesty to the back hall on the pretext of changing his clothes." After the emperor left, the servants reminded him, "His Royal Highness Sui'an probably brought up this matter."
"I guess so." Yun Fenghuang nodded, not surprised, "Sui'an treated those two children very well, how can I bear to have them discuss the matter and marry them without a name or status? Marry them well in the future. If you can’t, and you’re not willing to marry someone with a bad marriage, don’t you have to confirm the status of your adopted daughter for them?”
The attendant was a little regretful: "It's a pity that we are just two young ladies. It would be great if the Prince Consort and His Highness could adopt another young master."
"Take your time, they are all still in their prime..." Yun Fenghuang mused, and said, "The main branch is dwindling, and there are not many people now. As for the side branch, Brother Twenty-One doesn't see much of it. On... Fortunately, His Highness Sui'an is more concerned about this matter than Brother Twenty-one, so Brother Twenty-one really doesn't need to be impatient."
Another reason why she was not in a hurry to thank Wu Zheng's adopted stepson was that Xie Fuwang and Xie Li were both at an age to discuss marriage.
Generally speaking, after getting married, if you take the imperial examination, you will naturally concentrate on studying.
If you don't take the imperial examination, then you should start working as a serious official.
Of course Xie Fuwang wanted to take part in the imperial examination, but Xie Li was not the material.
According to Yun Fenghuang's plan, when Xie Wuzheng returns to court this time, Xie Li will be taken over by his cousin.
As for Xie Fu, he also needed Xie Wuzheng to give him guidance on his homework. In addition to the tacit understanding of becoming an official, his two nephews both needed Xie Wuzheng to give him guidance.
All in all, if Xie Wuzheng had multiple heirs, no matter how old they were, it would inevitably divert his energy and attention.
People are distant and distant, even though after the demise of the Xie family, Xie Wuzheng and Yun Fenghuang suddenly became close.
Later, Xie Xiaoyu disappeared, and now the big Xie family is almost like cousins depending on each other.
But even so, Xie Fuwang and Xie Li, as Yun Fenghuang's nephews, are still more important in Yun Fenghuang's eyes than Xie Wuzheng's heirs.
Before the future of these two nephews was quite guaranteed, she did not want Xie Wuzheng to be too concerned about the children in her own name.
Of course, these thoughts are just thoughts in my mind, and I would never say them out loud, not even to the attendants.
At this moment, she casually said a few words. She was thinking about the situation at hand. She was thinking to herself when she saw Chen Jing coming in a hurry and said with a strange expression: "Your Majesty, I just heard the news from the front, and I don't know if it is true." False. But there are rumors at the palace gate that officials from Fuyang County sent people to report it at high speed."
Yun Fenghuang's eyes narrowed and he said, "But the Holy Mother Queen Mother...?"
"The Queen Mother and Queen Mother are fine," Chen Jing said hurriedly, "But a Jiahe plant suddenly grew in front of the tomb of the Fuyang King of the past dynasties!"
Jiahe is auspicious, and Jiahe appeared in front of the tomb of King Fuyang... Who did this? What do you want to do
Yun Fenghuang has never considered coincidence at all. Where can there be so many coincidences in the world
Furthermore, the Yuanzhi vassal king, who has a small population and little power, might be fooled in front of the tomb of King Fuyang
This is today's son's biological father's lineage!
A few years ago, the temple was shaken due to collapse. Now, let alone Jiahe, if no one arranges it, even an inconspicuous weed will not be able to grow.
So this must have been deliberately arranged by someone.
The imperial concubine's thoughts turned around and she said slowly: "If so, this is a good thing."
Chen Jing said: "Yes, that's right..."
He secretly glanced at the imperial concubine and said softly, "According to the rules, auspiciousness comes from heaven and favors the lineage of King Fuyang. The descendants of King Fuyang's lineage should always express their gratitude!"
The current King of Fuyang is the child of Gong Xiang Ruochang. He was still young when his father died, and now he is not yet married when it is time to discuss marriage.
At present, it would be okay to go back and become a vassal under the name of auspiciousness, but Empress Dowager Yuan...
Is this co-authoring directed at Mrs. Yuan
Who did that
The most suspicious ones are definitely Queen Mother Qu, Princess Lin who secretly hates her, and... Chun Jia.
There is no doubt that Chunjia has feelings for Queen Mother Yuan, but there is also no doubt that the emperor attaches more importance to his throne and the thousands of miles of rivers and mountains of the Gongxiang family.
Judging from the recent movements of Concubine An and Yuan Ke, Queen Mother Yuan also seems to have the intention of getting involved in the dispute between the country and the country...
Is it possible that the emperor could find an excuse to send the queen away
"... Let's see what the temple says." Yun Fenghuang narrowed his eyes and thought for a while, then said slowly, "This kind of thing is not something we can easily interrupt."
She planned to wait and see what happened, but the others didn't want her to be idle.
In the afternoon of this day, the previous court had not had much to say, but the queen had already sent Li Jieyu to pay respects to Jieyu, and asked Jiang Mingdan to go to Xuanqing Palace to explore the concubine's tone.
"Sister Li, don't worry about this." Jing Jieyu smiled disdainfully and said, "Not to mention that the imperial concubine is pregnant now, so it's not appropriate to disturb her! Let's just say that this kind of thing involves King Fuyang and Emperor Cimu. Queen Mother, where can I ask your Majesty to worry? Isn't this a matter for Your Majesty to decide? If my sister wants to know, just go back and ask Your Majesty yourself, but why do you have to pester your Majesty all the time?"
Li Jieyu looked at her strangely.
Because they were both pawns of the queen and the noble concubine, and there had been grudges during the selection process, the relationship between the two of them had always been very bad.
Over the years, as they grew older and gained more knowledge, they gradually realized their identity as chess pieces. Although they were relieved to a certain extent, they were still far from getting along happily.
At this moment Huang Lingya smiled and said: "It's not the first day we have entered the palace, why are we saying these high-sounding words? These matters are said to belong to the previous dynasty, but whenever the imperial concubine wants to intervene, there are times when she can't. What?"
"Don't just talk about the imperial concubine." Jiang Mingdan also smiled, "Speaking of which, the empress is the master of the sixth palace. My sister wants to know these things, why don't you invite the pope?"
Huang Lingya looked at her meaningfully: "In these years, you have worked for the imperial concubine, been loyal to the imperial concubine, and defended the imperial concubine... not once or twice. I am really curious, why are you so loyal to the imperial concubine Min? She can't be said to be harsh to you, but to be honest, you have served her carefully all these years, but you are still a Jieyu now. When she was still Zhaoyi, she recommended Wei Hengyan as the virtuous concubine. Now the fourth concubine There is obviously a vacancy in this position, but I turn a blind eye to you... Don't you have even the slightest bit of dissatisfaction?"
Jiang Mingdan's face turned gloomy: "Sister Li, I would like to say one more thing: don't stare at the imperial concubine all day long, okay? Everyone knows that the fourth concubine is vacant. I haven't seen the empress promote her elder sister to fill the position of the virtuous concubine. .”
"If sister is not willing to accept it, you can go to the Queen and talk to her yourself."
"Why do you want to provoke me when you see the sky?"
"My talents and virtues are shallow. If I don't give up all the high positions, I may not even have hope for Jieyu's position."
"It's no different than my elder sister who has the support of the Queen. Her future is already promised before she enters the palace!"
She was not as good as Huang Lingya in background, but she suppressed Huang Lingya's limelight during the selection process. Now she can naturally cope with it, and said to Huang Lingya: "But I have to say something to my sister, it is better to be content. After all, the title of Sister Li has nothing but beauty. Moreover, this title was already conferred upon my sister when she entered the palace. My sister has grown older in the past two years. I am afraid she may not be worthy of the word "Li"? I don't want to take care of myself. , I wonder if these things are there or not, but why bother?"
Li Jieyu frowned, but she wasn't angry at all.
She had fought with Jiang Mingdan a lot in the past two years, and the ordinary humiliation had long since gone away.
At this moment, he just looked at Jiang Mingdan, smiled suddenly, and said: "Maybe it's because the princess of this palace is very obedient and sensible, so she is particularly free and likes to think about things. It's just..."
The corner of her mouth curled up, "My sister doesn't even have any biological flesh and blood, but why doesn't she have any ideas?"
Jiang Mingdan's face finally darkened.
Although she didn't have anything to do with her heir, it was still a sore point in her heart.
Huang Lingya also knew this.
The two of them were always at loggerheads, and they both made a tacit understanding not to really anger each other.
After all, the grievances between the two parties are mainly a battle of spirits.
It didn't reach the point where it was really life and death.
Furthermore, their existence and relationship are all deliberate arrangements by those in high positions.
No matter whether the queen or the concubine, how can they be allowed to be so internally consumed by trivial matters that no one is available when they need it
Huang Lingya took the initiative to violate her taboo at this moment. Jiang Mingdan was naturally not polite. He narrowed his eyes slightly and was about to pick up the hard-to-bear area to fight back. Who knows, Huang Lingya then said softly: "But you can't blame your sister. , after all, who asked you to follow a master like the imperial concubine? It would be weird if you could have your own children in this life!"
