As soon as Chunjia finished speaking, Yun Fenghuang was clearly startled.
Of course he thought it was his compassion that moved the true concubine, but he didn't know that Yun Fenghuang was quite speechless: It seemed that the emperor really believed that he was worried about being unable to have children, so much so that he empathized with his niece Xie Meng and regarded him as his own. Come out, it’s the New Year’s Eve and the reunion of flesh and blood. I’m afraid that she’ll be sad, so I took the initiative to bring Xie Meng into the palace to accompany her...
Yun Fenghuang was very happy about this sentiment. After all, it meant her status in Chunjia's mind.
The problem is, she really doesn’t want to do this anymore!
She has nothing to do. Although her biological niece is naughty, she is very close to her and looks exactly like her when she was a child... Yun Fenghuang still loves Xie Meng very much.
But I don’t like her enough to take her by my side and raise her as my own daughter.
Firstly, at her age, it is still too early for her to be eager to have a daughter; secondly, she is ambitious and busy with many things. She usually has to deal with Chunjia and the Queen Mother Yuan, and having a niece... This is not going to add to the chaos. What
But she couldn't say that.
Then he showed a look of surprise and said: "Your Majesty!"
Without hesitation, she threw herself into Chunjia's arms - after a while, she felt that her joy and surprise were enough to express her joy and surprise. Then she sighed, changed into a virtuous and virtuous mode, and said softly, "Your Majesty is so kind to me, I am so beautiful." ... Ming Gan Wu Nei! However, your majesty, please forgive me for not agreeing to this grace!"
Seeing Chunjia frowning slightly and waiting to say something, she quickly speeded up her speech and said, "First of all, my sister-in-law was originally from a wealthy family. Her way of dealing with people and presiding over the middle class were all brought together by her mother since she was a child. . After leaving the palace, I had the guidance of my biological mother. She was a little busy during the season, but she didn't have time to take care of Meng'er. Meng'er got close to me again, and after all, he kissed her mother even more. Now he picked her up. , even if my brother and sister-in-law don’t say anything, I’m afraid Meng’er himself will be unhappy.”
"Secondly, Yi Guiren and Liang Yuwan are pregnant in Xuanqing Palace. Although Liang Yuwan's delivery date is still early, Yi Guiren's due date is at the beginning of next year."
"Even if the emperor's heir has not yet arrived, I, the mother-in-law, must still prepare for him."
"At this moment, Meng'er came to take care of me, but I was afraid that the Yigui people would think too much about it. It would not be good for the emperor's heir in their belly."
"Even if the Yigui people don't think much about it, Meng'er is very naughty at this age. When she comes to the palace, she has to run around. What if she bumps into the Yigui people Liang Yuwan? What if she is restrained and not allowed to go out? , I feel distressed again."
As Yun Fenghuang spoke, he looked at Chun Jia's face and thought to himself that he is so virtuous. Shouldn't you be moved and happily take back your life
However, when Chunjia listened, he patted the back of her hand comfortingly and said, "My beloved, you think too much. You are Meng'er's biological aunt. Even if Meng'er is close to his parents, how can he come to live with his aunt for a few days? Is there any reason why you don’t want to? As for Meng’er liking to run around, it’s a child’s nature, so there’s no need to be harsh. When the time comes, can’t we just tell Yi Guiren and the others to stay in the house?”
"Anyway, it's cold today. Except for the children who are energetic and like to run around, the concubines don't go out much."
"If Meng'er still gets hit by Meng'er like this, there must be something inside, but you can't blame Meng'er!"
Yun Fenghuang: "..."
Is this because Aiwu and Wulian Xiemeng are taking sides
Speaking of this, although she was impatient to do more of this, she couldn't continue to refuse. If she continued to refuse, she was afraid that Chunjia would be disappointed.
So I sighed in my heart and pretended to be happy and agreed.
So they sent someone to deliver a message to Xie Xiliu and his wife that day, and the next day they sent someone to take Xie Meng into the palace together with the luggage he had packed overnight.
Although Xie Meng has been to Xuanqing Palace twice before, he always came to say hello. This was the first time he came to stay for a while.
Because Xiao Chen didn't come with her this time, she was particularly excited.
He was so excited that he didn't feel reluctant to leave his parents at all.
After seeing Yun Fenghuang, she rushed towards him with a smile on her face and called her aunt sweetly.
Chunjia happened to be there at this time. Seeing this situation, she couldn't help but smile and said to Yun Fenghuang: "My beloved, do you believe that I thought too much before? This child looks very similar to you and is your biological niece. How can it be possible that they are here together?" I’m not even willing to stay with you in the palace for a few days?”
Yun Fenghuang said with a smile: "Your Majesty is right, and your Majesty is thoughtful. Thank you, Your Majesty. Otherwise, I would miss her heart and soul, but I could only take a look at her occasionally when my sister-in-law takes her into the palace."
Then after Chunjia left, she called Xie Hengyu over and asked her to give Xie Meng a copy of the homework she had done when she was a girl!
In this way, when Chunjia comes over again in the evening, what he will see is Xie Meng's eyes are red, his head is drooped, and he has no energy at all when he first came.
I even spent dinner time and asked at least three times: "Your Majesty, aunt, when can I go back? I miss my father and my mother!"
"What's going on?" Chunjia felt a "thump" in her heart when she saw this, and casually fooled her around. After the meal was over, Yun Fenghuang coaxed her niece for a few words, and sent the Qing people to take her to the prepared side hall to be placed there. Accompanying the emperor into the bedroom, Chunjia asked, "Didn't everything go well before?"
Yun Fenghuang sighed: "I miss my parents."
Chunjia felt incredible: "I have only been in the palace for a few hours... Didn't I have a good time last time, and I was still smiling when I left?"
"Her mother was with her at that time, of course she was not in a hurry." Yun Fenghuang frowned slightly, "This time my sister-in-law is not here, only my aunt is here. Although she is a direct aunt and nephew, she is not alienated from me. But she is not my biological mother after all. Furthermore, I have been away from home for three years. The child was still young at the time and does not remember me very much. Now that I am willing to be so affectionate with me, in the final analysis, it is my sister-in-law’s teachings and the child himself. The reason why you are willing to get close to me. After all, after you entered the palace, you have only seen her a few times?"
When she was a girl, she was highly valued by the clan - which meant that her academic performance was not comparable to that of other legitimate daughters.
At that time, in order to win favor and to capture Jian Jian's strong personality, she really put in a lot of effort.
Xie Meng is tired of studying. The reason why he was so happy when he entered the palace today is simply because he felt that without the supervision of Xiao Chen, he could stop studying and concentrate on playing. How could he not be happy
As a result, Yun Fenghuang hugged her and joked for a while, and arranged for her to have several times the homework at home. She was not allowed to be lazy or prevaricate... Xie Meng looked at his aunt as if he were a savage beast. He wished he could leave Huanqing Palace as soon as possible. !
Yun Fenghuang knew what his niece was thinking, but how could he tell the truth to Chunjia
On the contrary, he took advantage of Chunjia's pity on the matter of his son and sold him out miserably.
It is a very penetrating interpretation of a concubine who is unable to have children and can only comfort her niece as her own daughter, but discovers that her niece is closer to her biological parents. She thinks of her situation and becomes dejected. Sure enough, Chunjia did not mention that she could have more children in the future. After Xie Meng came to the palace, he just sighed, stroked her hair, and said nothing for a long time.
The atmosphere was so heavy that night that Chunjia didn't even mean to be gentle, so he just hugged her and slept peacefully.
The next morning, after Yun Fenghuang saw off the emperor, he asked someone to pull Xie Meng up to dress up so that they could go together to pay their respects to Empress Dowager Yuan.
"Aunt, aunt, can you just say I'm sick?" Xie Meng almost cried. Her favored status in the family is partly related to her appearance and temperament that resemble Yun Fenghuang, even though she has been with this person for as long as she can remember. I didn’t get along with my aunt very often, so I had a preconceived idea of Yun Fenghuang and had a good impression of her.
So when I heard that this aunt took her to live in the palace for a short time, but her biological father and mother could not accompany her, I was really happy to think that I didn't have to go to school and could see my biological aunt who was always kind to me.
Who would have known that she would be in trouble as soon as her emperor uncle left just a few hours after entering the palace!
I can't even sleep now!
"No, your Majesty stayed here for the night yesterday. Now that Meng'er is ill, my aunt will be blamed by the Queen Mother." Yun Fenghuang combed her hair with his own hands and coaxed her in a soft voice. , "Can Meng'er bear to see my aunt being punished?"
Xie Meng had tears in her eyes and wanted to nod, but her instinct made her deny it: "Meng'er doesn't want to."
No, she just wants to sleep now. As for her aunt... she doesn't care!
Anyway, everyone in the family says her aunt is so awesome!
She believes that her aunt must have a solution!
Even if there is no other way, at most the Queen Mother will give her a few words of reprimand. If the aunt, aunt, and cousin at home do something wrong, the elders will punish her. It just goes back and forth... If her aunt loves her so much, shouldn't she want her to be well? When your son falls asleep, don’t you care about the Queen Mother’s punishment
The little girl pouted. She didn't know why, but she just didn't dare to express her thoughts. She cried and let others handle her. She was still sobbing when Yun Fenghuang carried her onto the chariot.
On the way, he met the ceremonial guard coming out of Yijia Palace. Wei Hengyan asked the team to come over to say hello. Hearing the movement, he smiled: "I heard yesterday that a young guest came to my sister's place. I just wanted to say hello to Meng'er. Why are you dropping golden beans?"
Yun Fenghuang nodded Xie Meng's forehead and said, "Aren't you thinking about a child leaving her parents for the first time? I can't bear it and want to send her back. But after all, I haven't seen her for a long time, and I can't bear to leave."
"Children are forgetful." Wei Hengyan, like Chunjia, thought that she loved Xie Meng as if she were her own child and could not bear to leave her side, so he comforted her, "It's just the next day, sister, don't worry, Let the little kitchen make some novel pastries to coax her later, so she won’t cry anymore.”
Yun Fenghuang smiled: "Okay, I'll give it a try later."
After chatting for a while, they arrived at the gate of Yanfu Palace. As usual, the eldest palace maid came out with a sullen face and told them that Empress Ji was still ill and could not accept the audience, so they should go to Chunyou Palace on their own.
"This child..." In Chunwu Palace, Queen Mother Yuan had also received news long ago that the real concubine was bringing her niece to pay her respects. She was quite unhappy about this, but it wasn't that she didn't like children from outside coming to stay in the palace. , but thought that Chunjia was too graceful to accommodate the real concubine, and was worried that the tail would not be lost and she would raise a second Ji family.
So when I saw Xie Meng coming up to salute, even though I thought this little girl was very cute because of Yuxue's cute appearance and lively eyes, her attitude was still lukewarm, and she said lightly, "Since the emperor asked you to come and stay for a while, Then stay here for a few days first. But the pregnant concubine in your palace must be careful not to turn a good thing into a bad thing."
"That's what the Empress Dowager said." Yun Fenghuang was in front of Empress Dowager Yuan. Of course he would not mention what Chun Jia said about "let the pregnant concubines avoid Meng'er." He only said with a smile, "I must control Meng'er well, no. Let her be naughty and disturb the palace."
Empress Dowager Yuan responded lightly and said nothing else - her identity was left here, so she couldn't care less about it with a child.
Xie Meng was tired of studying but was extremely keen, so when he left the Chunwu Palace, he asked Yun Fenghuang in a low voice: "Does the Queen Mother dislike me?"
"Your Majesty likes you very much." Yun Fenghuang did not answer directly, only said, "Auntie too. So you just stay in Xuanqing Palace."
Xie Meng was silent for a while, but after returning to Xuanqing Palace, he muttered angrily: "Why does the Queen Mother not like me?"
Her grandmother, parents, uncles and aunts all said that she was the most beautiful and adorable cub in the world!
No one dislikes her!
No, it's impossible for anyone to dislike her!
"Perhaps you didn't pay enough attention to study?" Yun Fenghuang saw her dissatisfaction, thought for a while, and asked tentatively.
"... I heard a saying from my brothers when they were studying, saying that no one is perfect." Then Xie Meng said immediately, "It's okay if the Queen Mother doesn't like me. Anyway, Your Majesty still has an aunt who likes me."
Yun Fenghuang looked at the surrounding servants who couldn't help laughing, and the corners of his mouth curled up: "Okay, you are still young now, I won't care about you."
If this is still so disappointing in a few years, Xiao Chen doesn't care, but she will have to say something - in a few years this child will get married, and if he doesn't have any ability, he won't be another Yuan Niang when he gets married.
Xie Meng didn't know what her aunt was planning, so she asked happily: "What about my homework today?"
"Of course it can't be reduced!" Yun Fenghuang touched her head and said kindly, "Be good, do it quickly, or it will be too late. When the time comes, don't blame your aunt for being cruel and trying to do anything to you!"
Yun Fenghuang felt quite good as he watched his niece cry and follow Xie Hengyu down.
It was very painful for her to learn things back then!
If it weren't for competing with Xie Fenghuan for favor, she would also want to go out and have fun!
Now watching this kind of pain pass on, why do I feel so happy
Yun Fenghuang suddenly felt that it would be good to stay with Xie Meng.
She hummed a little tune and went to the side hall to handle palace affairs. Not long after, someone from the palace came to report that Wei Hengyan was here and brought some cakes and fruits to Xie Meng.
After hearing this, Yun Fenghuang remembered that she seemed to have forgotten to prepare the kitchen for her niece to eat...
"Thank you for sending me something. I was talking to Meng'er when I first came back, but I forgot to tell him to go down." He asked someone to bring Wei Hengyan in, and at the same time ordered someone to bring the food box to Xie Meng. On the other hand, he asked, "Why did you come over in person for such a small matter?"
Wei Hengyan was hesitant to speak, and said with a smile: "Isn't this... I have nothing to do, so I came over to see my sister in person?"
"We see each other every morning, why do we need a special visit?" Yun Fenghuang smiled a little, and he could see that she really had something to say, but she just couldn't say it.
There were countless thoughts in his mind about what she was going to say, so he dismissed everyone with a wave of his hand, and asked her to speak out with concern - after all, Yi Xing'en and other direct descendants have not grown up at the moment, and Wei Hengyan has a family background, regardless of his past. Both the imperial harem and the harem are important arms in Yun Fenghuang's eyes.
It's okay if he didn't come over to reveal his embarrassment. Since he was acting like this, Yun Fenghuang couldn't pretend not to notice.
Even if the matter raised later is difficult, it must be perfunctory.
Just as he was thinking this, he unexpectedly coaxed Wei Hengyan to speak, but Wei Zhaorong asked hesitantly: "Sister, concubine... Have you accidentally offended Your Majesty or the Queen Mother these days without knowing it?"
"It's nothing." Yun Fenghuang asked curiously, "How could you think so?"
After saying these words, he suddenly realized that Chunjia had never been to Yijia Palace to spend the night these days.
