Yun Fenghuang told the story in a few words, and finally said: "Because according to the rules, even if Ji Muzi gives birth to a son and is promoted to the throne, he cannot personally raise the third and fourth princes. I just made some inquiries about the person's story, thinking Who should take care of these two princes later? But what I heard was that the Empress Dowager and the Empress Dowager intended to stay in the palace to take care of them... I was not sure whether this would be possible, so I didn't say anything. What. Your Majesty, what do you think?"
"..." Chunjia frowned. If he didn't love the second prince and Princess Zhaoqing as much as outsiders thought, he was just bored with the third and fourth princes born by Ji's daughter. Can be born, or even never exist.
This was not only because these two children were the result of Ji Muzi's scheme against Chunjia, but also because they had Ji's blood, which made Chunjia feel instinctively alert and vigilant.
He has been married for nearly ten years, but he is still too young for his status as the king of a country.
The actual eldest son, Gong Xiang Rang, is only a month old. In this case, no matter what advantages he has, as long as he has shortcomings, all his achievements will collapse instantly, and his wife and children will fall into the hands of others. Even with his example of a comeback, his children may not even have the chance to escape control after enduring for many years.
After all, Gong Xiang Rang's birth mother was humble. The mother concubine Zhenxi Shu Concubine written on the jade plate and the actual adoptive mother Yun Feng Huang were both Chunjia's trusted concubines, so it was fine.
The third prince and the fourth prince are children of the Ji family. The birth of these two children means that Chunjia's nightmare for many years is not impossible. After he has a son, the powerful ministers no longer need him and let him have a biological father and heir. They also died young, took the young master hostage to ascend the throne, and continued to poach the corner of the Gongxiang clan!
"The reason why the Empress Dowager and the Empress Dowager stay in the palace is to recuperate from illness. How can we let them worry about raising an heir?" Chunjia said immediately, "Even if we are worried that the concubines in the palace have no experience in raising heirs, It’s not like there aren’t other compromises.”
Yun Fenghuang looked at his expression and asked softly: "Your Majesty, what do you mean?"
Chunjia muttered: "Let Queen Qu raise her. Kunze is old anyway and will leave the palace in two years. Queen Qu will be lonely living alone by then. She doesn't like to go out... I can help raise her for a while." Queen Qu’s mother has raised Kunze very well, and I think the emperor’s grandmother and Queen Ji’s mother can also rest assured.”
There are not one or two concubines in the harem who are qualified to raise the emperor's heirs but are empty-handed, let alone Queen Ji, Ji Muzi's direct cousin. Chunjia will definitely not let Ji's middle palace have a legitimate son. Let’s not mention the newlyweds below the empress who have just entered the palace and have a high chance of giving birth to biological children. Gu Zhen, Jia Pingye, Lu Qidao, Xue Xiaoge...
However, Chunjia didn't choose any of them.
Yun Fenghuang knew why, because he didn't trust Ji's daughter to raise the prince, nor did he want the regent's concubines to raise the prince.
Both create situations that may threaten his own safety.
But Chunjia is still cooperating with the regent, and it would be harmful to the harmony to exclude Gu Zhen and Lu Qidao too obviously.
So I had no choice but to push Queen Mother Qu out to top the cylinder.
As for why Empress Dowager Yuan was not allowed to raise a prince, anyway, he would not care if anything happened to the prince he did not want. He was usually served by a group of people, so Empress Dowager Yuan did not need to worry about it... Yun Fenghuang was thinking I kept it because I was afraid that Empress Dowager Yuan would make the same mistake as she did when she raised Yuan Niang. She became sincerely interested in raising her, and in the end she couldn't let her go.
In this way, if Chunjia doesn't need to do anything to the two sons in the future, it will be fine. If there is a need to suppress them, it will be troublesome.
However, this does not mean that Chunjia has more trust in Queen Mother Qu. It can only be said that Chunjia cares more about Queen Mother Yuan's thoughts.
He handed over the two princes to Queen Mother Qu simply because he didn't care even if Queen Mother Qu became interested in these two children in the future.
This is not good... Yun Fenghuang left for a while today. After returning, he felt that the atmosphere was different. He thought that Queen Mother Qu had taken advantage of the situation to do something, and began to win the support of Chunjia's biological son. But at present, it seems that regardless of Qu Is this what the Queen Mother did, and it obviously didn’t work very well
Yun Fenghuang felt regretful for a while, and secretly encouraged himself: This is just the beginning. Didn't Yuan Fu Niang completely collapse after struggling for more than half a year
Chunjia's affection for the Empress Dowager Yuan was greater than that of Yuan Niangniang, so it was justifiable to spend a year and a half to kill her!
"Then I'll turn around and ask someone to go to the palace to send a message." Yun Fenghuang calmed down and said with a smile, "I'm afraid that there will be excuses to refuse, because when I asked about the Queen Mother and the Queen Mother, whether the Queen Mother was in good health. , the visitor didn’t say anything clearly, whether he had any plans.”
"It's just two children. The palace will send someone to pick them up when the time comes." Chunjia said nonchalantly, "And it's time to escape the summer heat soon. Then we will go to the palace together and put the children under Mother Qu's knees. When we come back Bring it with you when you arrive."
Yun Fenghuang said: "In that case, are we afraid that the Empress Dowager and the Queen Mother will also come back? After all, they will definitely be thinking about these two children."
If Chunjia insisted on handing over the third and fourth princes to the care of Queen Mother Qu, it would be surprising if the Queen Mother and Queen Mother Ji could still stay in the palace!
Chunjia also understood this, and he said calmly: "Come back as soon as possible. Ouyang Yanran will soon arrive at the Imperial Capital."
After the old man of the Ouyang family comes back, he will definitely become the vanguard of the Ji family's attack on the city in the temple - with such an old minister helping to share the pressure, Chunjia doesn't feel that he can't suppress the three generations of Ji family's daughters in the palace.
Moreover, he had no intention of letting the Empress Dowager and Empress Dowager Ji stay in the palace for a long time. After all, for a short period of time, he could use the excuse that these two people were ill and could not move. After a long time, how could the world not suspect that he deliberately moved these two people? The elders are exiled to the palace
Although this kind of unfilial talk can't be done to him at once based on his current foundation, after all, he has not yet reached the point where he will fight for Yu Jiyu Nei's life and death, and he still has to fight for the favor he can win.
"Your Majesty said this, I feel relieved." Yun Fenghuang breathed a sigh of relief and said, "I am really afraid that these two people are back. The Queen has a backer, which will embarrass me."
Seeing what Chunjia was about to say, he quickly made up for it, "Although I know that Your Majesty will definitely protect me, considering that Your Majesty is busy with government affairs, I always don't want Your Majesty to worry too much about me."
"These are all things that will happen later." Chunjia reached out and touched her temples, and said softly, "Tell me the truth, did you arrange Anliu today?"
Before Yun Fenghuang could speak, he promised, "Tell the truth, even if it was you who did it, I won't blame you. After all, Queen Mother Yuan has made things difficult for you a lot these days, and I also know that you don't tolerate grievances." .”
This needs to be replaced by someone more honest. The emperor has said so, so he will definitely confess.
Even those who are smarter will feel that if they don't confess now, if the truth is discovered later, it will be a crime of deceiving the king - even if Chunjia misses the old relationship and does not punish the crime, the relationship between the two will definitely be affected.
So it's better to say it now, ask for forgiveness or something, and it will be over.
But Yun Fenghuang's face did not change and his heart did not beat. He even showed a look of grievance when he heard this: "The empress dowager, the loving mother, doesn't like me, so it's just a matter of doubting me. Even Your Majesty feels that I am the kind of person who will ignore you and treat me." Are you the one who caused trouble at the Longevity Banquet because of your great love?!"
The more she spoke, the more choked up she became. Her eyes instantly became misty, and she was so sad that she seemed ready to burst into tears at any time... Chunjia was a little unsure whether she had been wronged, so he hesitated and comforted her: "Don't be angry, I just feel that you You have always done things carefully, even if you and Concubine Xuan Ruifei took care of it this time, how could Anliu take advantage of such a loophole under your nose?"
Yun Fenghuang did not accept this trick. His long eyelashes flickered, and he said, "I have always been suspicious. If I handle this matter single-handedly, I will not let anyone take advantage of it! But!" This time, Your Majesty is not unaware that the empress dowager, your loving mother, has told me at least five times to take more care of the emperor’s heir, and to leave the palace affairs to Concubine Xuan and Concubine Rui as much as possible!”
"As a result, I have been staying in the Huanhua Palace for the past few days and not going anywhere!"
"That is to say, Concubine Xuan and Concubine Rui occasionally send people to bring some matters over for me to review. Otherwise, I will not be able to get involved in the matter of the Longevity Banquet. In this case, Your Majesty, how can I take a comprehensive approach?"
It was impossible to admit it. After all, she had already learned about Chunjia's credibility.
When he first entered the palace, he said that it didn't matter if the concubine Hongxing other than Yuan Niang had an affair, as long as they didn't give birth to a bastard pretending to be the emperor's heir.
Yun Fenghuang really believed him, but what was the result
How many times did this guy turn over Qi Jiulu's old score
Until now, Yun Fenghuang has been trembling with fear, fearing that he would be reminded of it again.
Now Chunjia, let alone tell her that he doesn't blame her, even if he swears to the sky, writes an imperial edict on the spot and stamps it with a jade seal to tell the world, Yun Fenghuang will not commit such a fool!
... Moreover, taking a step back, even if Chunjia really doesn't blame her this time, Yun Fenghuang will never admit it!
The reason is very simple, it is for the sake of succession.
Competitors must have a good background, talent and appearance, and a city with a city. In other words, they have just entered the palace and have little experience and will not be able to turn over for the time being. But Queen Ji is still in the throne, and Luo and the others have time to grow.
Now that I have admitted that I tricked Empress Dowager Yuan, at a critical moment in the future, Chunjia may feel that, well, although the real concubine is deeply loved by me, her temperament is too extreme. She will retaliate against her elders so much, and she will not miss me. His deep love for her disturbed the Wanshou Banquet... This kind of magnanimity and magnanimity were not what a royal palace would look like.
In that case, it would be too late for Yun Fenghuang to cry.
So now it seems that Chunjia has not obtained any evidence, so she will not admit it!
Not only did she not admit it, she also took advantage of the situation to give Concubine Xuan and Concubine Rui some eye drops: "Because I am worried about this, I am not looking down on Concubine Xuan and Concubine Rui, but these two have attended palace banquets with their families earlier, even if Before entering the palace, I followed my mother-in-law to see how the banquet at their home was handled. Can the banquet at the monarch's home be the same? So I told them privately and asked them to discuss all matters with me. Say it to avoid any omissions."
"But these two went to talk to the Empress Dowager, which made the Empress think that I was targeting her, and the next day they beat me again... How could I dare to say anything after that? These words I was in the palace just now in front of my loving mother, the Queen Mother, and it’s hard to say who I am!”
"If His Majesty hadn't doubted me, I would never have said this now. After all, this move is very likely to provoke discord between you and your loving mother, the Empress Dowager. How dare I do such a thing?!"
Yun Fenghuang sobbed and said, "If Your Majesty still feels that I am suspicious, why don't you take Rang'er Zhaoqing to Jiashan Palace now and ask the Queen Mother to take care of me, and dispose of me in the cold palace!"
"I'm just asking, why are you so angry?" Chunjia was doubtful, but he was afraid that if he was really wronged and the true concubine would not be comforted later, since he had not yet come to a conclusion, he hesitated, but finally hugged her to comfort her. "Why did I doubt you? I just felt that with your ability, such a mistake should not have happened. Now it seems that although Concubine Xuan and Concubine Rui are in the same category as you, she acted much more recklessly. If I had known, what would happen this time, I'll leave it to you alone... After all, you have an heir to raise a mother and concubine, but you still have to pile on the burden at every turn. I don't care. When Rang'er Zhaoqing grows up in the future, I know that you actually want to How sad would it be to send them to Queen Qu?"
Um…
Yes, Yun Fenghuang thought that the reason why Chunjia didn't care much about the two children was because the children's biological mother was too humble. If she had been a biological mother with a noble birth, she would have loved her very much. In short, she didn't expect that Chunjia actually didn't care that much about her own flesh and blood. But Chunjia felt that it was difficult for Yun Fenghuang to have an heir. Although he doted on his niece Xie Meng very much, he also valued Gong Xiang Rang and Gong Xiang Ming very much.
In short, the emperor believed that whether he was an adopted son or a niece, Yun Fenghuang held a very important position in his heart.
Therefore, I brought up my two children to persuade her.
But this reminded Yun Fenghuang, and he continued to put eye drops on Concubine Xuan, made a sad look, and said sadly: "So your Majesty also thinks that I am old? Just now in the palace, Concubine Xuan hinted that I am old and yellow. I didn't take it to heart because I believed that Your Majesty wouldn't think of me that much. But I didn't expect that in His Majesty's eyes, I was just... "
Chunjia was stunned: "When did I say you were old???"
He is not him and he is unjust!
But Yun Fenghuang said confidently: "Your Majesty said that I am a mother-in-law, isn't it different from Concubine Xuan and the other newcomers?"
"...Are you the father of Rang'er and Zhaoqing?" Chunjia was quite speechless, "I remember that you and Concubine Xuan are the same age, and both are very young."
The childish look in the sixteen-year-old concubine's eyebrows has not yet faded away. How can someone be so old
Then I, who is twenty-four years old, have half my foot in the coffin? !
This is really unreasonable!
As a result, Yun Fenghuang was stunned and burst into tears!
While crying, he said: "It's not like your Majesty doesn't know what I regret most in my life! But you still said such things... Are you trying to force me to die?!"
Chunjia was stunned for a moment, then realized it later, almost vomiting blood: "My beloved concubine, I didn't mean that! Rang'er and Zhaoqing were raised under your knees, and they are also your children, and Meng'er... you... cough... I just said that you are as young and beautiful as Concubine Xuan and others, no, you are more beautiful and charming than Concubine Xuan and Concubine Rui! Well, Concubine Xuan is wrong for this matter, I will order someone to reprimand her tomorrow, okay? Don't cry ... Oh, please stop crying... I said no, don't be like this... I really don't mean that you can't give birth... I don't care... No! Absolutely not! I don't think that there is someone else who can give birth to you. It doesn't matter whether you can give birth or not. ... I... no... I really... "
Listening to the emperor's increasingly weak excuses through the window, Yan Yin sighed, lowered his voice and said to the chamberlain in front of him: "Tell Concubine Xuan's people that your majesty has rested."
