"This is impossible." Yun Fenghuang shook his head after hearing this and said, "If this is the case, why didn't your Majesty come and communicate with me secretly? Although King Yan is not my biological son, he has recorded my name in his name. Your Majesty, his biological mother has passed away, and I regard him as his own. Moreover, he knew this about his life experience early on, but why did he ever neglect me? Jilai also treats me as his own mother. Is it possible that your majesty thinks that I am his own mother? The palace has no ambition at all, can you be happy only if your own biological King Jin inherits the throne?"
She had been a loving mother for so many years, how could the emperor not have so little faith in her
"If His Majesty was interested in Xiao Jiu, he would have come personally to tell me the good news."
"He didn't come, and he didn't even tell me anything about Yin Qu's resignation. Isn't this clear enough?"
She also knew that the left and right people understood this truth, but the matter was so big that it was hard not to hold on to slim hope.
At this moment, he said: "Don't do this. I have said that I have already planned the worst outcome. Even if King Wu is the heir, he wants to take advantage of me, but it is impossible."
She spoke so categorically that the initial panic among the attendants gradually dissipated.
The storm of Yin Qu's resignation had not completely subsided before the wedding of King Song.
The King of Song did not take Chunjia seriously, and his mother, Concubine Cui Shu, was beaten repeatedly in the palace. She had kept a very low profile over the years, and even her wedding was much less pompous than that of King Qin.
However, Prince Song and his son didn't care. Concubine Cui Shu told her son in advance: "The situation is complicated now. Since you don't have that intention, I don't want to do anything. I just wait for the day of vassalage to come. We, mother and son, went to the fiefdom. I feel at ease. Counting the days, I just have to endure another year and a half. It’s just a wedding. It doesn’t matter. After all, you are just a vassal king. No matter how exquisite the ostentation is, you can still have the same experience as when your father married the Empress Yuan. Is it grand? But can your father and the Empress Yuan live a good life? There are not many flowers in life, as long as you get along with the princess in the future. "
The King of Song nodded in agreement, and then the Ministry of Rites made arrangements. Cui Shufei didn't even take a second look. Instead, she took the time to calculate her private house and the emperor's reward, and was ready to follow her son to the fiefdom for retirement at this time next year.
She didn’t want to get involved in the muddy waters of the Imperial Capital!
She didn't hide this idea from anyone. After everyone knew about it, no one naturally made it difficult for them.
Yun Fenghuang also specially added many practical things to the gift list for King Song's wedding, which was a farewell to the mother and son in advance.
Concubine Cui Shu saw this and came to express her gratitude. By the way, she said many things to Yun Fenghuang that she did not dare to say in the past. In summary, entering the palace to serve Chunjia was a nightmare for her...
Now that her son has grown up and is about to leave for the fiefdom, she has finally woken up and can go about her daily life.
Concubine Shu was looking forward to it: "Since I was a child, I have liked to plant flowers and grass, and also like to raise some rabbits. I have done this before in the palace, but soon I was criticized and reprimanded by everyone. In order to calm the trouble, I didn't bother anymore. Passed. When we got to the fiefdom, King Song said, I can do whatever I want!"
"You have a good son." Yun Fenghuang was very satisfied with her withdrawal. He didn't care to say a few nice words, so he smiled and said, "You are still blessed! It's just that you are thinking about these many things. When King Song gives you You give birth to grandchildren, and they will all circle around you. I'm afraid you won't have time to pay attention to those flowers, plants, little rabbits and the like."
"Family happiness must be lively." Concubine Shu's eyes sparkled. When she entered the palace, like today's Wei Shuhan, Cui Nanye, and Wei Xiyan, she was also a well-known talented woman in the imperial capital, and she walked in a noble and self-proclaimed career. The route is dignified and elegant, beautiful and proud.
Yun Fenghuang still remembered that when he first met her, he thought she was a cold beauty, so reserved and intimidating that she felt difficult to get close to her.
This was the first time I saw her looking as happy as a child.
So much so that the smile at the corner of his mouth deepened: "You will definitely get what you wish for."
She just likes colleagues who have no ambitions!
Regardless of whether he was born without ambition or was beaten so hard that he dared not be ambitious, just don't argue with her.
Mu Yitianxia can bear such a tiring job alone.
The wedding of King Song went well, and he took his concubine to pay tribute to Concubine Cui Shu the next day.
It is said that Concubine Cui Shu is not bad to her daughter-in-law. Although she is not as considerate as Yun Fenghuang is to Princess Qin, she is still very kind.
But Chen Jing reported to Yun Fenghuang in private: "Princess Song and His Highness King Song don't seem to be very close to each other?"
"Oh?" Yun Fenghuang asked with interest, "It's only been a few days since we got married, but it's already clear that we are in love with each other or not?"
Chen Jing said: "It's not that the servant is troublesome, but we only found out when the people serving over there took the initiative to chat with our people. It is said that His Highness King Song is taciturn, but Princess Song is a lively character, but she took the initiative to talk to His Highness King Song Looking for a topic, after chirping, His Highness the King of Song just remained silent... After several times, the bride was also a noble girl from a wealthy family, so she felt that she couldn't step down? So she didn't say anything. The two masters remained silent. Who dares to make a scene? It’s as if no one lives in the palace of the Song Dynasty, and it’s scary even at night.”
Yun Fenghuang was dumbfounded when he heard this, and said: "This King of Song... was indeed a child who seldom spoke when he was in the palace. But why is he so silent? It would be too unfair to the bride."
He asked King Qin, "How is my son and daughter-in-law doing in the palace?"
"Don't worry, Madam, our Highness is not the kind of master who keeps silent all day long." Chen Jing said, "Furthermore, Princess Qin is smart. She picked the topic several times, but she and Prince Qin had different preferences, so they couldn't talk about it. Son, I took my wife as a guide."
Yun Fenghuang became interested: "What did this child say about me?"
"Princess Qin initially praised the empress, saying that she thought the empress was beautiful and kind, which was different from what she had imagined. After hearing this, His Highness Prince Qin took the initiative to say good things about the empress... Isn't this just a matter of talking and getting along?"
"Afterwards, Princess Qin found out the pulse of King Qin, and used the banner of the Queen everywhere. For example, when she persuaded His Highness the King of Qin, she would always say that these were all the Queen's instructions. If His Highness did not listen, she would go back to say hello to the Queen. , but I don’t dare to hide it! When the time comes when the empress blames His Highness, she has nothing to do. Your Highness, King Qin, is afraid that you will worry about it, so don’t you just rely on her? "
"What a naughty little fool!" Yun Fenghuang scolded with a smile, "I only gave her a gentle warning, asking her and King Qin to take care of each other, but she used chicken feathers as arrows!"
Having said that, of course she would not be angry about it, but rather satisfied, "When we looked at this Princess Qin, she only thought she was dignified and well-behaved. I was afraid that she was too well-behaved and not clever at all. Now that I look at her, I feel Well enough."
She has relatively high requirements for her daughter-in-law's father and brother, but she doesn't have any new requirements for her daughter-in-law herself. She just needs to be filial, obedient, and take care of things.
She was quite satisfied with Yun Xuxu's performance since arriving.
Summer had already entered when King Song got married, and soon it was time to escape the summer heat.
The biggest difference between summer vacation this year and usual is that the two princes have already got married, so naturally it is no longer possible to live with their parents in the palace, and they have to live in their own courtyard outside the palace.
These emperors all had rewards, so they didn't have to worry about their concubines.
"Actually, since they moved to Qiongjiu Palace, they have come to escape the summer heat and live in front with His Majesty. It is not easy to see them every day." Yun Fenghuang looked at the house in Lanzhou Yeyu Pavilion that had been vacant for some days. , couldn't help but sigh, "But now I live in another courtyard, which is further away from this palace after all."
"If your Majesty is worried about it, can you ask Princess Qin to come and stay with her for a while?" He suggested, "Princess Qin has always been filial, so she will definitely agree."
"What are you talking about?" Yun Fenghuang shook his head and said, "They are newlyweds and should spend more time together. How can I separate them just because of my own mood?"
These words, under the instruction of the Qing Dynasty, were passed on to Yun Xuxu. She was inevitably moved again, so she made some cakes herself and sent them to the palace to pay her respects.
It happened that Princess Zhaoqing came to visit her mother and concubine after playing outside for a while, and the aunt and sister-in-law happened to bump into her.
As the eldest sister-in-law, Yun Xuxu was also the Princess of Qin who was given a jade plate in the royal family. According to the rules, she was not required to salute the princess. Even Zhaoqing had to give her family gifts. However, she had a harmonious relationship with the Prince of Qin and got along well with her mother-in-law. Naturally, I have a particularly fond impression of Zhaoqing, my sister-in-law whom I haven't gotten along with much.
Upon seeing this, he gave her a half salute and greeted her with a smile: "Where do you come from, Your Highness? Look at the sweat on this head, you have to wipe it off quickly, otherwise you won't catch the cold in the cold mountains."
But despite her good intentions, she cared about her sister-in-law as a eldest sister-in-law, but Zhaoqing didn't appreciate it. When she heard this, she sneered, walked away without even looking at her, and walked into the house first.
Yun Xuxu: "???"
Since she came out of the palace, things have been going smoothly for the most part. She always felt that since her husband and mother-in-law were both fine, there would be no more problems with the marriage.
Who knew that I would hit a wall with my sister-in-law? ?
In the room, Yun Fenghuang was happy when he saw Zhao Qing coming over. Seeing her sullen face, he couldn't help but be surprised: "Who provoked you? Why are you so depressed?"
This is strange. Because of Chunjia's indulgence and pampering, this daughter is most domineering. It would be nice if she doesn't bully others. How could she be bullied by someone
"My son came in just now and saw Yun Xuxu." Zhao Qing snorted, "She's just like that. I really don't know what my mother-in-law and eldest brother like about her?"
Yun Fenghuang: "..."
She was speechless for a moment, "This is your serious sister-in-law, how can you call her by her first name?"
Zhaoqing was about to burst into tears: "I heard people say that the daughter is an outsider after all, and the daughter-in-law is the real one! I thought before that this was all about other mothers, and the mother-in-law would not be like this. Regarding my son, who knows, who knows...who knows that my mother-in-law really loves Yun Xuxu with all her heart now, and doesn't love my son anymore!"
"Don't mess around here." Yun Fenghuang said with a headache, "Is this the same thing? When did I stop caring about you? That is your eldest brother's serious sister-in-law, who was married to the royal jade plate. How can you But it's so rude? My majestic daughter, if word of such nonsense spreads, people will think you are young, so it's okay. They will definitely think that your mother and concubine are incompetent in raising their daughter. Is this how you want to be happy? Besides, your eldest brother is married. , are they just ignoring you? Why treat your sister-in-law as an enemy! Your sister-in-law is a sensible person, so why don’t many people feel sorry for you? "
