Treacherous Living in the Imperial Harem

Chapter 1240: Worst case scenario

Views:

Yun Fenghuang thought for a moment with a sullen face, but gradually calmed down. After all, she and Yin Qu didn't have a deep love for each other, they just got what they wanted.

If the man saw that the situation was not good and wanted to retreat, at least for the sake of King Wei, he reminded her that in terms of morality, he could not compete with Xie Wuqiu.

"Tomorrow, ask the imperial physician to add something to King Wei's meal." The imperial concubine ordered, "Just choose something that is not harmful to the body but not very satisfying to him. In two months, I will have something to say."

Seeing the sad and angry expressions on the left and right, he couldn't help but sigh, "Even if Your Majesty decides that the King of Wu will be the crown prince, and even if I can't be the successor, you still won't be the concubine, so even if the prince sees me, why don't you salute me and say hello?" Don’t forget that your Majesty, Dong Xian Dong, was just in his prime, and he was already seventy and eighty years old. He turned around and asked to go to the East, leaving our Hegong with no one to rely on! Why should we act like we are not living up to expectations, and act as if we were in this palace? No more months?"

"Your servant dare not!" Qingren and others knelt down to apologize.

"If King Wu hadn't been able to keep his composure like that back then, it wouldn't have been his turn to come to the East Palace!" Yun Fenghuang didn't scream, but said to himself, "Actually, if he hadn't been born in this palace, It’s not like he was raised by me, so I’m convinced that Dong Gong chose him. Don’t say that the heirs of this palace don’t have the environment to temper themselves, so they lost to him. If you win, you will win, if you lose, you will lose. , there is no reason to explain. Otherwise, it can also be said that the concubines and concubines who have been in my lap for many years are because they were born too noble and did not have as rough experiences as I. Is that just a slight loss?"

She shook her head, "Since I entered the palace, it has been generally smooth sailing, and I have never suffered any setbacks. It was actually good that I lost at that time."

"After all, firstly, Bidong is in his prime; secondly, if Yin Qu hadn't told me about that matter, I would have been kept secret until now. It can be seen that Bidong deliberately concealed it, and obviously he has a friendship with me."

"When Yanbi Bidong is old and unable to take charge of the overall situation, is it better to be involved in such a thing when I, the Yongwanzhe, am old and faded and no longer have a holy family?" "

"Of course, I have been favored by you for many years and have many children. If I am not allowed to live in Qingci Palace in the future, it will be difficult for the people led by me to have a good relationship!"

"So we must have been very upset at that time."

"It's not human nature."

When the people of the Qing Dynasty heard this, they went to say: "I swear that I will share the honor and disgrace with you. No matter what I ask you to do, I will always serve you!"

Everyone else said that too.

Yun Fenghuang listened, nodded slightly, and said, "We have been with me for many years. Of course I don't believe you are loyal."

"Therefore, I don't intend to hide the matter of receiving Donglai from us: first consider the worst case scenario, even if Dongdong has decided to make King Wu the crown prince, then we have been working on whether to seek the throne for a long time. All efforts and arrangements have come to nothing."

"The King of Wu was neither born nor raised by me. I even have quite a lot of grievances with him, his adoptive mother, the deposed Queen Gu, and his biological mother, Ji Muzi."

"Once he gains power, many people in the palace and harem will fall into the trap and target Xuanqing Palace!"

"Even King Qin's future will be greatly affected."

The imperial concubine said that, but her face did not show panic, but she was very calm, "But these, at least when Bidong is here, are not difficult. After all, even the King of Wu himself will definitely not start to do anything for him immediately after becoming the heir. His biological mother and adoptive mother will take revenge, and even make me respect him more! If he doesn't have such a bit of city government, he won't be able to attract the attention of Bidong."

"What you need to worry about is after the mountain collapse."

"Bidong Yu is in good health. No matter how you calculate it, it will only happen in a long time."

"So we have a lot of time."

"How many legitimate grandsons of the princes in the previous dynasty were so high-spirited when they were young, but once they were deposed, they were quickly annihilated."

Yun Fenghuang sneered slightly, "Wu Wang may be tolerable, but am I not as good as his child? The moon is coming, we can afford to lose now!"

Although Qing Ren and other close servants had expressed their loyalty to the end, they were still worried in their hearts.

After all, as the imperial concubine said, Yun Fenghuang has been so domineering and domineering over the years. If she can't be the queen mother in the future, it will be difficult for her to end.

But after she said a few words, Dongbu gradually calmed down: "That's right, the King of Wu is not the third son of His Majesty Dong. The third son is actually born a few months later than the emperor's eldest son. He is like Tomorrow is about to grow up, and Bidong is in his prime. After ten or twenty years, whether he is in his prime or not, Bidong will gradually age. By then, it is hard to say whether he will be very fond of him or not."

"It's not that our Jinwang Palace East has a son in the belly of Empress Ruming. I'm afraid it will be fully grown by then!"

By that time, the Supreme Being will be old and the Crown Prince will be young, so there will be no conflict. Wouldn't it be a good time for King Wu to get out of the East Palace

Although that would not satisfy their expectations, and things may not develop so smoothly by then, at least it would be a way out, and it would not make a group of people feel that their future is bleak and just wait for death.

"Of course, no one can predict what will happen many years later." The Qing people tried to help their master to appease people's hearts, but Yun Fenghuang waited for them to discuss it for a while before continuing, "After all, I am almost thirty years old, even if I am pampered and pampered, , After all, it is not as good as the youth of the past. When Bidong grows old and becomes weak, I am afraid that my beauty will also pass away, and it is unknown whether I can continue to win over Bidong. "

She moved her legs so that the attendant wouldn't have to interrupt to comfort her, she didn't need it.

"But for now, if Your Majesty makes King Wu the crown prince, he will definitely try to appease me or find a way out for me in case something unexpected happens next month."

She was confident about that, and Chunjia had made a mistake in saying that she didn't want to take anything away from her. He drew a line in his heart. Wherever that line was, it was easy for the imperial concubine to ask for anything she wanted.

East of that line, there is no room for negotiation.

But at least her life and her old age should be on that line.

Otherwise, the emperor would not have to spend so much thought on her presence, controlling whether he is the emperor, pampering her when she wants, and then leaving her alone.

He is not someone who cannot do such cruel things.

Therefore, that affection is Yun Fenghuang Ruming's biggest bargaining chip, "But from ancient times to tomorrow, that kind of method will just come and go."

"Yin Qu sent someone here to give advice, so he went for the richest share: to appoint me as the queen. Whether he can make up for this palace, or restrain the king of Wu from the future, even if the emperor is gone, I will be the queen anyway. Nor his legitimate mother."

"But that doesn't really do much good."

"After all, there were no outsiders around at that time, so I would like to say something taboo: Did Bi Dong wrongly treat Ji Sheng, a common man, in the past? Who knows whether King Wu will pay me the same amount of money as he did in the future?"

As the empress of Xiaozong, Ji Sheng, a common man, could not even get a decent Dongchang.

Not only was his position abandoned, but his tablet was moved out of the ancestral temple and he was not allowed to be buried with Xiaozong. Even his body was not preserved.

There is such an example in front of me. At least in this dynasty, no aunt-in-law would be foolish enough to believe that she can control her unfilial son by relying on her status as aunt-in-law.

Especially the cowardly prince like King Wu Qiufu was nothing more than a timid prince, but that person who won Chunjia's approval purely on his own had no problem pretending to be a filial son and grandson if Chunjia was here in the Ming Dynasty.

Once Chunjia is gone, Bi Shenzong will be more likely to take revenge!

"What's more, I am pregnant. Once one of the twins born from the east has a male heir, he will be a proper legitimate son. Since Bidong is determined to make King Wu his heir, how could he do such a thing? Therefore, after I think there is no need to fight for the position of queen for the time being."

Yun Fenghuang said slowly, "Besides, let's think about it in King Wu's backyard. After all, I have several nieces in this palace. Neither Meier nor Mengmeng have left the cabinet. King Wu has appointed the princess. , there are still two vacancies for the concubines. If you are not registered as the crown prince, then there will be a lot of good places. Bidong said that he must not let him take in the nieces of the palace, so as to ease the relationship between the two parties. "

"But these are just temporary measures."

"No, if Bidong is here, everything will be easy to deal with. If Bidong is not here, will the King of Wu care about a few concubines and having children with a mere concubine?"

"How did King Wu's biological mother go? Didn't he have any idea?"

"But since he has grown so big, does he have any intention of revenge against Ji Muzi?"

On the one hand, was he willing to pass the throne to his biological father? Even if he did not raise him like jewels, he still gave him a series of treatment that a prince should have, and found him an adoptive mother who loved him very much; Could it be that you have never seen your biological mother, whom you have no memory of, and your maternal family has been destroyed, and the remnants are running around... How stupid can you be to choose your biological mother

It is said that it is not easy for a biological mother to be pregnant for ten months. Just look at the Queen Mother Chunjia Cuoqu and you will know that the kindness of giving birth is not as great as the kindness of nurturing. Is this what the bystanders say? How can it not be the feelings of the raised children themselves

Yun Fenghuang could guarantee that even if the King of Wu accepted her niece and gave birth to Donglai heirs, it would not be harsh to ask him to blame those children. After he ascended the throne and liquidated the Xuanqing Palace faction, those children would basically have no chance to stand up and rebel. .

Even if you stand up and make a mistake, it will not help.

Is it possible that someone who is a biological son and daughter, who is very good at talking to an elder from another generation, could fall out with the biological father of the Supreme Being

"Therefore, I will not adopt any compromise strategies." The imperial concubine looked around, "And we will follow me and be prepared."

She didn't say what she planned to do, just ordered everything to be business as usual.

According to the rules of the King of Qin's wedding, the following month he should bring his royal concubine to the palace to greet him and serve tea with the imperial concubine.

Chunjia gave both mother and son dignity and personally rushed to the Xuanqing Palace early in the morning to show their attention and favor.

When the time came, the palace attendant ushered in a new couple.

But seeing that King Qin was tall and tall, Princess Qin's features were picturesque, and they looked like a perfect match.

The emperor was quite emotional: "My mother-in-law held my baby in her arms and coaxed me, as if it was just yesterday, but we got married in the blink of an eye."

That year he had not been in charge for a long time, and it was very difficult. More than ten years passed by just like that.

Chunjia sighed for a while and then gave him a reward. Because he was the eldest son who was the most doted on and had the honor of a noble concubine, the reward was very generous.

The same is true for Yun Fenghuang. Yun Xuxu was the eldest daughter-in-law she personally selected, and she liked Buxu. In front of the emperor, she always looked very satisfied.

Therefore, not only did he give many greeting gifts, but he also called Princess Qin to his side and asked her carefully if she was used to being in the palace, if she had any needs, and how Prince Qin treated her...

"My mother-in-law really likes my wife." The emperor looked on with a smile, and quietly joked with King Qin, "She looks as if she feels sorry for her own daughter. If I don't love my wife in the future, it will be bad. I’m afraid that my mother-in-law won’t be the first to spare me!”

King Qin Xindong smiled secretly, and said: "Father, I am not right, but I have no intention of wronging the concubine!"

"No?" Chunjia raised her eyebrows and said in a lower voice, "Then what do I plan to do with Mrs. Gu?"

Gu Jue

King Qin was startled. Yun Fenghuang had mentioned this in advance. He paused for a moment, then showed a complicated expression and said, "She... other things are just as important. Is the mother and concubine the most important thing?" I beg for it. Besides, there is a distinction between concubines and concubines, how can sons and ministers dare to cross the line?"

After hearing that, the emperor observed that the eldest son's expression did not look like he was reluctant to leave Gu Jue, and then he nodded slightly: "Listen to my mother and concubine when it comes to the affairs of the back house. She thinks those women are more accurate than me. I am just The concubine comes from a high family, and if my mother-in-law personally checks it, she will definitely be right."
