Yun Fenghuang spread his hands indifferently and said calmly: "The relationship between my left and right heirs is shallow. I am satisfied to have the eldest prince and Zhaoqing to raise my children. As for the other things, I dare not force it. Your Majesty favors Yin Zhaoyi, and I favor you all." Regardless of the two, any concubine in this palace who favors me is the same to me."
So, you sisters are having a falling out, and I am happy to watch the excitement.
Concubine Xuan pursed her lips, remained silent for a while, and then said slowly: "Your Majesty is right, it's because people like me have failed to live up to expectations, and have not been able to give Your Majesty an heir so far. If Sister Yin can come out on top, it will be a good thing after all. After all, the biological mothers of the current imperial heirs, except for the newly born fourth prince, are too humble."
Do you think you can sit firmly on Diaoyutai? Don’t forget that the biological mothers of your two children are not on the stage!
Ji Muzi, the biological mother of the second and third princes, was despised by the emperor, and Shun Jieyu, the biological mother of the fourth prince, was not favored by the emperor, so the eldest son of the emperor was still considered valuable. Once a young, beautiful and noble-born Yin Xiang gives birth to a prince, how much advantage do you really think the eldest prince can take advantage of because of his status as the eldest son
"That's exactly the reason." But Yun Fenghuang was not moved at all, and persuaded her with a virtuous look, "It's great that you can think of it. I think back then, the Empress Dowager and the loving mother Empress Dowager paid homage to her one after another. The purpose of hiring people like us into the palace is to provide His Majesty with heirs. As a result, after more than a year, except that Shun Jieyu gave birth to a prince and Zhaorong was still pregnant, no one had any good news! On the contrary, the selection The palace concubines have come out on top one after another... Every time I think about it, I feel guilty and sorry for the love and expectations of the two elders of the clan."
"Now that Zhaoyi is actively striving to be the first, how can we suppress her? We should encourage her."
Do you want to encourage Yin Xuan to help the emperor as soon as possible, or do you want to encourage us concubines with similar backgrounds to fight among themselves? !
Concubine Xuan secretly grinded her teeth, glanced at Gong Xiangxiao, who was drinking wine not far away, and forced a smile: "Your Majesty is right."
Then he turned around and discussed in a low voice with Ruifei.
"It seems that the empress is not living a peaceful life in the palace." Yun Fenghuang ignored them and sipped the rose water. After a long while, he noticed that Chunjia was still not coming back, and the concubines were talking in low voices. It became noisier, and suddenly a male voice came from not far away, with a clear teasing voice, "What is talked about outside recently are the various actions of Concubine Xuan and Concubine Rui, but Concubine Xian, I haven't heard of you for a long time. There’s movement.”
Yun Fenghuang did not turn his head, but slowly put down the crystal lamp and chuckled: "In that case, why does the prince need to talk to me? Why don't you go and flatter Concubine Xuan and Concubine Rui?"
Gong Xiangxiao said with malice: "Those two are real ladies from famous families. Even if the imperial brother is not present, how can they possibly make irresponsible remarks to this prince? I am the only one who is willing to deal with someone like me."
"There is nothing we can do about this." Yun Fenghuang said slowly without getting angry, "Your Majesty invited the Crown Prince to come here to join in the fun, but His Majesty left halfway and has not returned yet. Although I don't know what happened to him, But in the end, the Crown Prince was left out. Now that the Queen is away, the concubines are led by me, and I ignore the Crown Prince, who will greet the Crown Prince? I can only feel aggrieved."
Gong Xiangxiao knew that he couldn't quarrel with her, so his face darkened, and he smiled and said: "The empress is really passionate about the emperor, and she never forgets to protect your majesty. If I hadn't met the empress before, I would have thought that she was always like this. Virtue and virtue will last forever."
Yun Fenghuang played with the cup in his hand and chuckled: "Oranges are oranges when they are born in Huainan, and oranges when they are born in north Huaibei. It is true that I am not a real lady from a famous family, but after meeting Your Majesty, of course I will be virtuous and virtuous. From start to finish.”
Gong Xiangxiao hated her attitude of treating Qi Jiulu as nothing. Even though he knew in his heart that Concubine Xian was very suspicious, he was probably afraid that people would catch her when he said this, but he still couldn't help but said with disdain: "Your Majesty is really among the people. Junjie."
He who knows the current affairs is a hero.
"I just heard His Majesty mention that the young prince has hired an imperial doctor." Yun Fenghuang finally turned to look at him and asked with a smile, "I have heard for a long time that the young prince has a delicate and noble body, but I don't know what is going on this time? But? The young prince can’t bear the cold in the mountains?”
Gong Xiangxiao's expression changed a bit: "I don't need to worry about this matter in the palace!"
"Speaking of which, it's almost time for the prince to propose a marriage?" Yun Fenghuang said "Okay" with a smile, and then said, "But I wonder if the regent has mentioned this matter recently, and who is the lady he mentioned for the prince? ? If the prince knows, you might as well tell him, maybe I can give you some details?"
"Your Majesty is just a virtuous concubine, not a serious sister-in-law of this prince." When mentioning this issue, the anger between Gong Xiangxiao's brows became more intense, and he said in a harsh tone, "It seems that your Majesty is not qualified to ask about such matters?"
Yun Fenghuang smiled brightly, not caring about his attitude at all, and said: "Why should the prince be angry? Isn't this palace good for you? The regent takes care of everything, and leaves everything in the palace to the princess. But the princess's biological flesh and blood seems to be very important. Tell her to worry about her. Didn't she just fall ill two days ago? Where do you think the princess will find the time to look after the ladies for you? "
"Isn't this why I asked your Majesty to ask him to remind the regent, or to ask your majesty to give the crown prince a hand?"
Gong Xiangxiao would not think that she was really so kind. He felt that Concubine Xian was threatening him with her words: she could instigate the emperor to dictate his marriage!
"Xian Fei, you should worry more about your own family when you have free time!" Gong Xiangxiao took a deep breath, held back his anger, and said lukewarmly, "Brother Ling, there are still a few people who are not yet married, and I have too much time to take care of myself, so why should I share the money for my son?" Heart?"
Yun Fenghuang said calmly: "The most important thing for Mr. Xie now is Master Shang. We can discuss the marriages of the brothers after Her Highness the Princess descends. As for the Crown Prince, the marriages of the three Princesses and His Royal Highnesses have been decided. As the Crown Prince, Brother, there is no news so far, which is really worrying!"
While they were talking for a while, Concubine Xuan and Concubine Rui had already discussed it, and then they noticed the conversation between Yun Fenghuang and Gong Xiangxiao. With a change of thought, they interjected: "Why is the Prince Regent planning to discuss marriage? But? I don’t know whose young lady I’m talking about? I was on good terms with each family before I entered the palace, and I probably know them.”
Gong Xiangxiao denied it with a stern face: "My father never mentioned it. It was Concubine Xian who was teasing me, Concubine Xuan, please don't misunderstand me!"
"The prince is young. If you ask him so directly, he will definitely be embarrassed to admit it." Yun Fenghuang smiled and said to Concubine Xuan, "But the prince has a noble status and is worthy of being the wife of the prince. There are only a few. Since you are all We know each other, why not take a guess?”
Concubine Xuan glanced at her suspiciously and said cautiously: "Why is it so easy to speculate on this kind of thing? If it is wrong and spread, wouldn't it ruin the reputation of this young lady?"
Yun Fenghuang flapped his fan and said happily: "There are no outsiders at the moment. We are all our own people. What does it matter if we say a few words? Do you think that I or the Crown Prince will be gossips? I deserve it." The family of the young lady who is the wife of the crown prince is completely out of the question, and it is impossible to even talk to him. As for the crown prince, there are differences between men and women, and he can’t see a pure boudoir lady!"
Then he said, "Besides, the prince is your majesty's brother after all. Even if the prince's wife selected by the regent himself will definitely be good, how can he not be a little curious? If you introduce him a few words, he will also miss you in his heart, okay?" ?”
Concubine Xuan declined with a smile: "It's been half a year since I entered the palace, and I don't remember it very clearly. I'm afraid my words were wrong and I misled the prince."
Yun Fenghuang smiled, simply leaned over, leaned close to her ear, and scolded: "Are you stupid? Your family is so well-informed, have you ever heard that the regent is planning to marry the prince recently? I deliberately brought up this topic, why do you think it is? Who doesn’t know that the regent prefers his step-concubine and his youngest son? Even though the prince is so old, the regent has not arranged any serious errands for him, and he has not even given him a wife to marry— Today is a rare opportunity to sow discord between father and son, why are you so stupid?"
"..." Concubine Xuan blushed at what she said. In fact, she had just heard Yun Fenghuang and Gong Xiangxiao mention their marriage. She was also thinking about whether to add fuel to the cold relationship between father and son in the Regent's Palace
Just thinking that Yun Feng Huangqi was the one who said this, she didn't want to do this assist.
But now Concubine Xian has made her words clear. If Concubine Xuan still remains silent, she knows that Yun Fenghuang will definitely complain to Chunjia when she turns back, saying that she ignores the overall situation and does not understand the general situation.
Concubine Xuan was angry, but she had to grit her teeth and explain, "I'm sorry, but I didn't think of this. It was just a casual chat."
After she composed herself, she turned around and introduced to Gong Xiangxiao the ladies from various families she knew - of course, the kind who were well-born, well-loved, talented and beautiful, and the regent was basically unlikely to introduce them to the prince.
Yun Fenghuang was there to praise her and swore that these were the kind of things that would suit the family and make money if you married her. Even though she was in the palace, she had heard about it and had seen it up close with her own eyes at the last few palace banquets. However, he is definitely a master who is both talented and beautiful, virtuous and kind.
And being loved by his family will definitely be a huge help to his husband.
Gong Xiangxiao was originally saying, "The two ladies have misunderstood, there is no such thing", but gradually he couldn't help but became fascinated: at his age, he should have said kiss a long time ago.
And he also needs a wife family to support him.
However, the regent didn't mention it at all, while Princess Lu tried her best to get him mixed up.
Even though he knew that Concubine Xuan told him this because of Yun Fenghuang's in-person instructions, and she was not well-intentioned, she still couldn't help but write down the candidates.
It didn't take long for Concubine Rui to join in. She and Concubine Xuan were from a family second only to the Ji family. They came from the leading circle of noble ladies in the imperial capital. There seemed to be no noble ladies of similar age and origin that they didn't know.
At this moment, I was talking to Concubine Xuan with each other. I gave Gong Xiangxiao a detailed and vivid introduction from family background to appearance, from temperament to talent, from father and brother to sisters and in-laws. Gong Xiangxiao couldn't help but imagine if he could marry these people. Woman, your life will be so easy in the future... Unknowingly, the sun was setting in the west, the sound of the banquet below gradually stopped, and the concubines' attention was focused on it.
At this time, Chunjia finally returned to the table in a hurry. He changed into a robe, and his hair was a little wet. It seemed that he had been wring it out temporarily after taking a bath. The important thing was that Yin Xiang, who had accompanied him to "change clothes" before, was nowhere to be seen.
"What are the concubines and concubines talking to the prince about? It's so lively?" From a distance, he saw the three concubines dancing around the Duke Xiangxiao. After sitting down, Chunjia spared everyone's courtesy and naturally asked, "I just came here. When I heard it, it seemed that I was talking about the daughter of a certain family?"
Concubine Xuan quickly said: "Your Majesty, I heard that the regent is looking for a wife for the prince. The prince is curious about his future wife, so the concubines are giving the prince a thorough look!"
