The imperial concubine specially stayed with Prince Qin and his wife to have a meal that day, so Chunjia also stayed with her.
This gesture made Princess Qin, who was originally quite nervous, breathe a sigh of relief.
In addition, Chi'e, the valet who was serving the imperial concubine during the banquet, whispered: "Today, what is placed in front of His Highness, King Qin, are His Highness's favorite foods since childhood. What is in front of you is what the Empress sent to inquire about what you like. If it is If there is any fallacy, please tell the maid, Princess, and ask the kitchen to change it next time you come."
Yun Xuxu was flattered and said quickly: "Thank you for your trouble, my mother and concubine. I like these very much and there is no need to change them anymore."
He quickly asked his dowry to remember the dishes from King Qin's side, so that they could be used when trying to please her husband in the future.
"I have always heard people say that the imperial concubine is domineering and arrogant, but she only cares about her sons and heirs. Now I see that she is also very considerate to her daughter-in-law." Although Princess Qin was a little reserved at this lunch, she replied After arriving at the house, she had a very good impression of her mother-in-law. When she saw King Qin going to the study to greet her brothers, she secretly whispered to her wet nurse, "When my sisters-in-law came in, my mother was not so kind to them. After the ceremony, she said My mother talked to them, and she told them to serve their husbands carefully from now on. The noble concubine just told the King of Qin to treat me well, and also arranged for someone to remind our King of Qin of his preferences... This... This is trying every possible means to help. me!"
"Your Majesty, you are blessed." Her wet nurse was also happy and suggested, "In fact, Your Majesty the Imperial Concubine may not have sincerely asked His Highness King Qin to let you go, but Your Majesty the Imperial Concubine is very clever, and she asked you to serve the Prince of Qin wholeheartedly in the future without even mentioning a word. If so, is it possible that you, the empress, are a noble daughter, and your family doesn’t teach you, and you don’t know it yourself? She keeps blessing you, your face is bright, your family is relieved, and you will definitely treat the King of Qin more attentively in the future. Such a couple In harmony and love, isn’t it true that the noble concubine got her wish?”
Yun Xuxu nodded: "Although I know the imperial concubine's intentions, I still prefer her like this."
"You have to remember to call me Concubine when you talk about it later." The wet nurse said with a smile, "This is the first time we have officially met each other. Of course, we can't talk about deep friendship, but the relationship comes from getting along. The Imperial Concubine got up first. Good job, you just treat her like your own mother from now on. For someone like her, as long as you don't hinder her, she will definitely not embarrass you for no reason. By then, you and she will not get along like biological relatives. Mother and daughter are the same? His Royal Highness King Qin is a man and does not notice these twists and turns. But he has always been filial to the imperial concubine. Seeing that you are deeply loved by the imperial concubine, he will only value you more! When the time comes... "
She sneered and glanced back, "Who does that person mean?"
The King of Qin fell in love with Gu Jue, and it was her fault that he would not marry her. With Yun's family background, of course he could find out.
When Yun Xuxu was attracted by Yun Fenghuang and was about to be hired by King Qin, she and her parents were quite uneasy.
I'm afraid that the eldest son that Yun Fenghuang likes will be looked down upon by King Qin himself.
However, Gu Jue was already with King Qin, and when the time came, the princess who had already married into the palace was left in the cold.
Even if the imperial concubine is not a good person, she will definitely not tolerate Gu Jue relying on King Qin's thoughts to provoke her, but she can't force King Qin and Yun Xuxu, right? How can Yun Xuxu's life go smoothly then
As a result, looking at this start now, it turned out to be much stronger than they imagined.
First of all, the King of Qin had no intention of snubbing the concubine because of Gu Jue; secondly, the emperor and the concubine were very amiable to the new Princess of Qin.
As for treating her as her own daughter, Master and Servant Yunxuxu certainly didn't believe that the imperial concubine treated her eldest daughter-in-law like jewels and jewels just after meeting her, but at least she put on this posture, which made people feel more at ease.
So when they returned home from the Three Dynasties, Yun Xuxu told her mother-in-law exactly what she had said. Her mother-in-law was relieved, but she also had a good impression of the imperial concubine. Her mother was older and knew many old things, so she subconsciously told them. He paused and said, "Actually, over the years, this empress has been said to be vicious both internally and externally, but after all, she is also a pitiful person. It is your blessing to be considerate to you right now, so it is not surprising. I remember, When she first came to Imperial Capital, she was younger than you are now. She was only twelve years old, but she was very considerate and considerate in her words and actions... "
Yun Xuxu was just curious: "They all say that the imperial concubine, ah, they all say that the imperial concubine has been favored since she entered the palace. Over the years, she has defeated many concubines, and even the deposed empress is no match for her... But to say that the imperial concubine is pitiful, this is What did you say? Didn't you say that her life was of such a high value that ordinary people could not bear it, so the clan leader was so surprised when he saw her that he reported to the Empress Dowager and broke the family line and invited her into the palace? "
"Clan leader?" Yun Xuxu's mother sneered and said, "His two daughters, one legitimate and one concubine, were sent to the palace one after another. Especially the concubine at the back was sent to the palace with the imperial concubine. It was him As a man, I can’t think of it, but how can a woman in the back house not think of it? The imperial concubine was born beautiful. Of course, the late Yun Jieyu, your daughter-in-law was also a beauty. But your daughter-in-law is weak and dull, thoughtful, and thoughtful. Lively, far worse than a noble concubine! Duke Yi Guo's mansion is full of food, and he is leaving his own daughter without support, and wants to send a relative who is beyond his reach into the palace to share his favor? "
"The Duke of Yi State had no good intentions when he sent the imperial concubine to the palace!"
"The imperial concubine is also very capable. Otherwise, she might not survive the night under Concubine An's hands."
Yun Xuxu's father and brother both had low official positions and were relatively powerful among the Yun family, second only to the consort Yunxi Ke. Therefore, Yun Xuxu's mother was quite clear about the whole process of Yun Fenghuang's entry into the palace.
After saying a few words at this moment, he told his daughter, "... Therefore, this empress is nominally the daughter of our Yun family. In fact, her relationship with the Yun family has always been bumpy. Fortunately, we didn't know about her entry into the palace in advance. , and never got involved. This time she personally selected you to be the royal concubine of King Qin, whether it was to win over our family, or to show that she did not forget the sisterhood of Concubine Zhenxi. In short, since she is willing to treat you well, you Just do as your wet nurse said, treat her like your own mother. Over the years, no matter how many people say something bad about her, there is one thing: no one who follows her has ever suffered."
"Look at the likes of Concubine De. When she was still Zhaoyi, she dared to help Wei Hengyan become one of the four concubines!"
"How many women in the past and present have such courage and means?"
"Concubine De entered the palace with her and gave birth to her before her. It is not impossible to compete with her for favor. She can tolerate it. Besides, are you the serious daughter-in-law she personally selected or the eldest daughter-in-law?"
Yun Xuxu was young, so when she heard the reason why the imperial concubine entered the palace, she sympathized with her mother-in-law. Turning around, she was very respectful to Yun Fenghuang. Whenever she had time, she would go to the palace to pay her respects and give her food and drink. She also never forgot to show her filial piety. A portion of Haremiya.
She was even concerned about the marriage of Yun Fenghuang's niece Xie Mei, who had not yet left the court, and tactfully said that it was not bad that she had a few unmarried brothers...
"Your Majesty is really discerning. She picked the right one right away." Xuanqing Palace was very satisfied with her attitude and said to Yun Fenghuang in private, "Princess Qin is pure and filial and sensible. It's strange that the Empress loves her." .”
Yun Fenghuang smiled: "Girls from wealthy families, except for a few weirdos, are all sensible."
After the wedding of King Qin, there was King Song.
It was late spring and early summer, but no one in the court raised the issue of establishing a heir apparent.
The imperial concubine then knew in her heart that Chunjia had really made up her mind and was angry with the important ministers in private, so no one came forward.
Otherwise, at the age of the emperor and the age of the princes, someone would have to bring it up.
A few days after the beginning of summer, Yushitai began to impeach Yin Qu without any warning.
It is said that they listed ten major crimes for Yin Qu. If you look carefully, you will find that Yin Qu himself did nothing. They were all committed by his clan members. Moreover, the most important crimes were all committed by the Yuanzhi clan members. Maybe Yin Qu was busy with government affairs. Yu Du didn't know at all.
But as the clan leader, he must bear responsibility for the faults of his clan members.
The most important thing is that the emperor and his ministers all know that Yin Qu has been in power for five or six years. If he does not change his position, the emperor will be worried.
So soon, Yin Qu came forward to plead guilty, admitting that he had failed to control his people, and was willing to take the blame, resign, and return to his hometown.
The emperor reluctantly tried to persuade him to stay twice. Seeing that he was "resolute", he agreed.
The person who took over was the head of the Luo family.
This signal shocked both the government and the public.
The last one was Ouyang Yanran. At that time, the harem lost a high position, Ouyang Fulu, who had once been the concubine Shu.
This time, Yin Qu's biological daughter had disappeared years ago, but everyone knew about his relationship with Concubine Min.
Not only were there a lot of discussions inside and outside, they suspected that it was a sign that Concubine Min had fallen out of favor. Even Princess Qin couldn't help but go home to inquire about the news in person: "What happened to Yin Shangshu? Will the mother concubine be involved in this matter?"
But her father and brother still want to inquire about her: "Yin Qu's resignation is like losing a hand to the imperial concubine! How could the imperial concubine not persuade her? Did the imperial concubine persuade her to no avail, or could she see that your majesty has made up her mind, so she Can't speak?"
Princess Qin was apprehensive after hearing this, and was worried that Yun Fenghuang would feel uncomfortable, so she entered the palace the next day under the banner of greeting her. After the ceremony, she spoke some commonplace words and secretly looked at her mother-in-law's expression.
"But what's the matter?" Yun Fenghuang saw that she had something on her mind and asked with a smile.
"... The daughter-in-law is not. The daughter-in-law just thinks that the mother-in-law is pregnant and is afraid that the mother-in-law will be uncomfortable." Princess Qin said cautiously, "Seeing that the mother-in-law is well, the daughter-in-law is relieved."
Yun Fenghuang knew her thoughts clearly. Of course she wouldn't hate her daughter-in-law's filial piety, but she was busy with everything at the moment and didn't want Princess Qin to disturb her from time to time. So she sent him away with a few perfunctory words, but arranged for Chi Cae took the opportunity to send Princess Qin to the palace gate and hinted to Princess Qin that there were a lot of things going on in Xuanqing Palace during this period, so she should not come here if she had nothing to do.
"Yin Qu's resignation is a signal. This signal is not only for the previous dynasty, but also for this palace." Yun Fenghuang said slowly, "Everyone with a discerning eye knows that before the eldest son of the emperor takes over the vassal, the crown prince's position must be confirmed. Yes. Now that Yin Qu is going down, he is hinting to everyone that the prince of the Xuanqing Palace will most likely not become the crown prince. After all, how old is the eldest son now? With such a great talent and strategy, is it possible that your majesty will be afraid of his son now? ? After the current prince takes over the East Palace, His Majesty will only think of ways to arrange his wings, but he will not worry about being threatened. "
Therefore, if the emperor planned to appoint the prince of Xuanqing Palace as the East Palace, even if Yin Qu resigned from the post of Minister of the Ministry of Personnel, he would be arranged to another position and stay in the court to continue to assist the prince.
But he agreed to fight Yin Qu until the end, because he clearly didn't want the princes from the Xuanqing Palace faction to become too powerful.
"Your Majesty, but the successor is the father of Princess Yan?" After hesitating for a while, he asked with a glimmer of hope, "Your Majesty also likes His Royal Highness Prince Yan very much?"
Maybe the emperor sent Yin Qu away not to clear the way for King Wu, but to make King Yan successful
