Chunjia attached great importance to Yun Fenghuang's pregnancy and remembered the birth date clearly. When the bones were set, the new central palace sent someone to invite him. He ignored the numerous government affairs at hand and immediately left them behind and drove to Xuanqing Palace. .
Originally, after Concubine Min was enthroned as the third queen of the Chunjia Dynasty, she could move into Yanfu Palace according to the rules.
However, Yun Fenghuang was about to give birth, and he was afraid that Yanfu Palace would not be familiar with it and would easily cause complications. For the sake of safety, he stayed in Huaqing Palace and only sent people to Yanfu Palace to pack things up, planning to wait until confinement. Move there with the royal heirs.
The holy driver entered the Huanhua Hall with ease. When he entered, he saw the imperial concubine sitting on a soft couch. Her makeup was exquisite and her clothes were gorgeous. She had swept away her plainness since her pregnancy, and she was dressed as grandly as if at a New Year's Day ceremony.
"What's going on?" Chunjia didn't know what was going on. He walked over calmly, held his hand and felt his pulse. He felt relieved and said warmly, "But you feel uncomfortable?"
"... I just had a nightmare." Yun Fenghuang turned his head. Since the emperor and empress were now very close, the emperor could tell that the imperial concubine's complexion was actually far less good than she showed. She had obviously applied it carefully. The powder can't hide the pale green background.
There was also fatigue in her voice, instead of her usual energetic tone, and she spoke softly and slowly, "I dreamed of myself... My fortune has declined, so if I don't say goodbye to His Majesty now, I'm afraid I'll die in two days." No chance."
"What bastard words did you say? Even if you want to vent your anger, why would you curse yourself and your children like this?" Chunjia was startled, his face suddenly darkened, and he scolded, "Didn't I say that? Don't say such things again in the future. Words! Besides, who said your blessings have declined? How can a person with declining fortunes hold the Phoenix Seal?!"
Yun Fenghuang said quietly: "I am not angry with you this time... You also know how difficult it is for these two children to come to me. I just say that I am not good, how can I have the heart to say something about them? ? It’s just that these past two days, I have been feeling uncertain, as if something is going to happen. I don’t know who I am... I just thought, if I can do it well, who wouldn’t? But if something goes wrong... Your Majesty ... Although I have enjoyed your protection and favor over the years, I am not greedy enough. Even after I left, I am still worried."
Chunjia frowned and said, "I think you are a little confused after being detained in the palace for the past two days. How about I accompany you to walk around the yard twice?"
He had asked the imperial doctor that the queen was about to give birth and it would be beneficial to move around more.
The emperor actually felt quite upset and guilty. He felt that the queen's behavior was probably stimulated by the third prince being crowned crown prince.
In fact, he had also considered Yun Fenghuang's pregnancy earlier, so he hid it everywhere, not wanting Yun Fenghuang to notice it.
I hope that after the child is born and the beloved concubine is out of confinement, we can make further plans.
But he couldn't stop Yin Qu from leaking the news in private. Yun Fenghuang himself was not a fuel-efficient lamp, and he could see the flaw through clues, but he couldn't hide this matter anymore.
How else could this happen
He could only bite the bullet and smooth things over between Yun Fenghuang and the prince.
Now, looking at Yun Fenghuang's dying state, the emperor was shocked, angry and regretful in his heart. He spoke lightly, but already quietly gestured to Yan Yin to send a message to Wei Shidu and other imperial doctors to come and wait. , lest the queen really go wrong with the birth.
Yun Fenghuang saw his behavior in her eyes and enjoyed it with peace of mind. If she was only worried that she would follow in Yin Xuan's footsteps when she gave birth to King Jin, now she is simply unwilling.
If she survives this test, she might be able to fight with the prince.
If she died now, to put it bluntly, with the prince's methods and age, what hope would the Xuanqing Palace faction have
The best result at that time is to get a good posthumous title, and the emperor's heirs from the Xuanqing Palace faction will be treated kindly by the prince. A hundred years later, Gong Xiang Bing will gain a reputation for benevolence.
Just thinking about it makes her heart bleed!
Yun Fenghuang was absolutely unwilling to accept such a result, but things were unpredictable, and as the saying goes, misfortunes never come singly, so she had to prepare for the worst.
At this moment, he sighed and said in a tired voice: "Your Majesty, why are you doing this? Birth, old age, illness and death have their own destiny. If I can pass this test peacefully, just think that I am talking nonsense right now. If there is an emergency, Are you really not even going to listen to my last words?"
"The prince is young, and even if he doesn't have a deep affection for his concubine, things will be different when he has children." The emperor heard that he was sad, and his heart was touched, and he persuaded with some difficulty, "When I was young, I actually didn't I don't really care about heirs. At that time, the imperial grandmother and the others were worried about the emptiness under my knees today. In fact, I was relieved that I had no children! Even after taking office, King Qin and Zhaoqing came to power one after another. At the beginning, I rarely interfered. Really? In fact, I just don’t care much about them. Later, I gradually started to love them, but you always mentioned them in front of me. I couldn’t bear to let you down, so I pretended to like them. "
"After getting along for a long time, I gradually developed a fatherly heart."
He had never said these sincere words before, but when he said them now, he was able to express his heart to Yun Fenghuang, "Besides, the prince is not the kind of person who is cut off from love and righteousness. Although I value the country, I don't want my wife and children to be together." Not having a good ending? How could he be disrespectful to you when he values a heir with Xie's blood in the future?"
Yun Fenghuang said softly: "Your Majesty has said this, and I will not hide it from you: Mengmeng is young and is the only bloodline of Brother Eighteen. I am afraid that she will be spoiled and spoiled and will not be able to serve the prince, so I want to She was advised to choose a high-ranking noble son as her main wife. However, neither Mengmeng nor her daughter listened to me. Although the two concubines of the prince are both nieces of me, they are not very familiar with me. They are like this She entered the Eastern Palace at a young age and later gave birth to children for the prince. It is hard to say whether she will choose the prince or the concubine in the future."
"Then let Xie Mi also enter the East Palace?" Chunjia felt pity in his heart, and after thinking for a moment, he closed his eyes, hardened his heart, and said softly, "In this way, if Xie Mi gives birth to a smart heir for the prince in the future, I... can allow it. How about he being the grandson of the emperor?"
So what's the trouble? Wouldn't it be better for me to do it myself
Let’s talk about how many years later, who knows whether you will fall in love with other vixens and treat me like Concubine An
The new queen sneered in her heart, and said calmly: "Your Majesty, I know clearly that at this moment, I am just preparing for emergencies, and I am definitely not taking advantage of your affection for me to drive a wedge between my flesh and blood, or for any other reason. After all, no one wants to see Concubine Wen Huixian's affairs again, but who can understand God's will? Please allow me to make arrangements for you."
Chunjia had nothing to do and remained silent.
Yun Fenghuang took it as his acquiescence and said: "If my mother and son are safe, I beg your majesty to forgive me, but I think I was confused for a moment today. If there is anything wrong with me, King Zhaoqing of Qin and these elder emperors, your majesty Zhao Fu, although I am concerned, I am not too worried after all. However, the King of Jin, the Ninth Emperor's Daughter, and the heir in my belly are all young, but they still need to be taken care of. I thought, when the time comes, the King of Jin and the Ninth Emperor's Daughter will be entrusted to Concubine De. , that’s all, I don’t need to raise the left and right for a few years, and they can be sent away. But the heir in my womb has not yet been born. If I want to live, it is not appropriate to bother Concubine De."
She paused and said, "I ask Your Majesty to accept me as my concubine: when the time comes, these two children will be handed over to the East Palace to be raised."
Chunjia was startled and felt complicated for a moment.
In fact, he had a vague guess in his heart that Xin Hou's words were pitiful, but he actually wanted to trick Dong Gong. But now she even said what Tuo Gudonggong said, instead of the concubine De or Yi Shi who were closely related to her, obviously sincerely considering the future of the two children. Even if Gong Xiangbing and Wei Xiyan inevitably hate their two children, they are not ruthless. They are raised from infancy, so they will have to show less pity in the future...
I felt a little melancholy for a while.
"Your Majesty?" Seeing that he didn't answer, Yun Fenghuang asked tentatively, "Can your Majesty confirm the identity of this concubine?"
"It's so easy for you to have a baby, but you have so many random thoughts every day!?" Chunjia was silent for a moment, then suddenly got angry, stood up, and said coldly, "It didn't matter that King Jin was the first born at first, but now why? Will there be any problems?! I don’t know what to say!”
In the end, she walked away without waiting for her to say anything!
When the Qing people and other attendants saw this situation, they were naturally worried: "Your Majesty, is this...?"
"Don't worry, he has actually made it right." Yun Fenghuang said calmly and calmly, "I just don't want anything to happen to me, and I don't want to say that... If there is something wrong with me, the two children only need to If you can survive, you will definitely be sent to the East Palace to be raised."
As for the prince and his wife, who have been repeatedly making things difficult for them these days, are they happy
Chunjia agreed, and the thoughts of the prince and his wife were completely unimportant.
Moreover, the city government, which has the title of Duke Xiangbing, would even be grateful to Lingtian for accepting this mission, so as to show his magnanimity to the emperor and the people of the world: anyway, even if these two children are raised in the East Palace, he does not need to worry about it personally. There are palace people for food, clothing, housing and transportation. To do it, Wei Xiyan is supervising him every day. He occasionally asks a few words and has people hold him in front of him and look at him twice, which means he is interested.
Therefore, Gong Xiangbing not only raised the twins, but also raised them well.
"Now the prince's wings are not fully full yet, so that's fine. If his wings become stiff in the future, who knows what he will think?" The Qing man hesitated to speak, but finally spoke out his thoughts, "De Feisu and the empress are on good terms... "
"The first day you knew about Concubine De's timidity?" Yun Fenghuang sighed, "Of course I hope that I will be safe, but I have to be on guard against anything unexpected. In this palace, Concubine Shu is not close enough to me, and I have long said that she will be with him when the King of Song lords over the vassal; Concubine De is timid. She dared to show off her power when I was here. If I am gone, will she dare to argue with the East Palace for my children? Then she will still I don’t know what she will do; furthermore, Jia Pingye, Yi Xingen and others are all supported by me. Do you think their status in His Majesty’s mind can be compared with that of the East Palace? Or maybe they are so loyal to me. , willing to ignore their own future and the future of their own heirs for the sake of my children? None of these people are reliable. In fact, purely for the sake of their children, it is better to leave them to the East Palace to raise."
This situation is not surprising. If the Sixth Palace really had concubines who could compete with the East Palace after she left, she would have eliminated them long ago...
"Moreover, if things go wrong for me, the children I have raised over the years will not be as happy as I want them to be in the future." The new queen pondered for a while, then waved away, leaving only Qingren to whisper, "You are As an old man who is needed by this palace, the prince will probably let you go to the East Palace to continue taking care of my children in order to show off. When the time comes, you should secretly keep an eye on the Jin princes."
Her face suddenly lost all emotion, and she said calmly and cruelly, "If King Jin is old enough and wants to do something on the eve of becoming a vassal, you can try to use the life of the child in my belly to create an opportunity for him. Until then. When the time comes, it will be done if it can be done. If it cannot be done, it is destiny and there is nothing I can do about it."
The Qing people were shocked and said: "Empress!"
"Emotions are born from virginity. Although King Jin is not a good person, he has grown up with me for these years." The new queen sighed, "I have never seen these two in my belly, so how can I compare with him? ? Besides, after all these years of my hard work, if I end up here and my descendants have to crawl in front of Gong Xiangbing in the future, I really can’t swallow this breath!"
Even if she dies, she still wants to show off to the prince!
"Empress!" Qingren simply didn't know what to say. She had always known that the biological daughter of her old master was very smart and shrewd, but she never expected that Yun Fenghuang could be so ruthless!
"Why are you panicking?" The new queen tilted her head calmly, looked at her, and said calmly, "It's just the worst plan. I don't really intend to stay here. If my birth goes well, I will be the one to make plans. , but how can I use the heirs of this palace to pay a lot of price?"
This was indeed just a plan... At the end of the month, the new queen successfully gave birth to twins, the twenty-one prince and the fourteenth princess, in the Huanhua Palace.
The emperor was so happy that he passed over the many imperial heirs in the middle and personally named the twin brothers Gongxianghe and Gongxiangyan (yin).
Before the full moon, the twenty-first prince, Gong Xianghe, was named King Zhen, and the fourteenth prince was named Princess Kang'an.
