Chunjia heard this and asked Gong Xiangxiao with a smile: "Which lady did my uncle tell me about?"
Gong Xiangxiao said with a stupefied face, "The ladies are here to tease my younger brother. My father has never said anything like that recently."
Without waiting for Chunjia to say anything, he bowed his head and resigned, saying that he remembered something.
"Then I'll go." Chun Jia said gently, "Wrong, I remember that there are new bird's nests in the warehouse. I will bring some back to replenish my little brother."
After Gong Xiangxiao left, he looked around and asked with a smile, "What's going on?"
Concubine Xuan immediately stopped talking and looked at Yun Fenghuang, implying that it was not caused by Yunfenghuang.
Yun Fenghuang smiled nonchalantly and said, "What's the matter? Bidong went there and didn't come back for a while. It's boring for the prince to drink alone. Why don't you chat with the concubine Xuan Fei and Rui Fei?" How many words did you say? The concubines live deep in the palace, but what they said to the prince was not about the marriage."
He added, "The prince is young and tender-faced. Just now when Concubine Xuan and Concubine Rui introduced the ladies of various families to the prince, he was saying stop talking. Can you listen very enthusiastically? Otherwise, the concubines would not be able to escort the prince. Keep saying that!"
Chun Jiamo stroked the wine cup in his lap and said with a smile: "I was delayed just now. I would like you all to greet the crown prince on my behalf."
He took a cup of punishment to himself, and then said slowly, "Is it time for the prince to discuss marriage at that age? His disciple is a little weak. Recently, the imperial doctor has been summoned twice. Maybe the regent and his wife can't take care of the prince's health for the time being." It’s about marriage. As for the prince himself, if he is worried about this matter, he may not be interested in getting married.”
Yun Fenghuang suppressed his smile and said sternly: "That's it! I live deep in the palace, but I don't know that being honest is not a trivial matter. Therefore, I just made fun of the important events in the prince's life, but I embarrassed the prince... I beg your Majesty to punish me!" "
It seems that Chunjia has provoked the regent recently. In order to prevent his uncle and nephew from turning against each other, he must not irritate Gong Xiangruoji anymore for the time being.
She glanced at Concubine Xuan calmly, thinking that I was just so happy to steal the conversation, but she didn't expect that Emperor Ruming didn't want to provoke the regent and his son, right
Concubine Xuan was a little annoyed by what she saw, but she couldn't say anything, so she could only agree in a low voice: "I know that I am guilty, please punish me."
Chunjia said: "That's not a big deal, just tell us."
Originally, the banquet was half-eaten, and those who deserved rewards received rewards, and it naturally ended there.
That day, Chunjia naturally went to Yin Huan's place. When he returned to Jieyue Xiaozhu, the Qing people told Yun Fenghuang about Yin Huan's behavior: "That person would actually compete with the concubines on the same stage for favor. I really didn't expect that."
"Sooner or later something like this will happen, whether it's the Yin family or someone else." Yun Fenghuang said lightly, "Ruming is no better than before. In the past, the status in the palace was determined by family background. At that time, although family background They are also very demanding, but the emperor's favor is even more demanding. Isn't this palace a clear example? Just think about it, even a noble lady from a high family can't be reserved. "
Moreover, "the Luo family, the Ouyang family, the Yin family, and the Meng family have Yuan Zhiniang entering the palace at the same time, and Yuan Zhiniang is also very good. Xing Ningbo does nothing to ask for help. With the help of his loving mother, the Empress Dowager, he may have a good successor." But they kept being stupid. Not to mention anything else, just talking about Sixth Sister's incident, it shows that the family succeeds more than fails. Ji did not misjudge them at all back then. "
"For such a natal family, Bidong will definitely not let Yuan's daughter have the opportunity to enter the middle palace."
After all, Xingningbo Mansion is only the natal family of one of the three queen mothers, so it is such a hindrance. Qiu has become a descendant, and even the Queen Mother has become the maternal family of the legitimate prince. What kind of burden will it be
Those who have nothing to stand for will only help others. They must not be allowed to hold high positions.
Chunjia knew that truth very well.
Therefore, not to mention that Yuan Zhiniang was not very favored, even if Yuan Zhiniang aroused Chun Jia's childhood feelings, she would not be able to preside over the Sixth Palace.
"The first four, Nafu Bidong and the loving Empress Dowager have tactfully promised that they all have the potential to replace Empress Ji."
Yun Fenghuang chuckled and said, "But since they entered the palace, Concubine Xuan and Concubine Rui have taken the lead because of their family background and temperament. For example, when the concubines mentioned in the harem before the Ming Dynasty were favored concubines, except for me and Concubine Xuan and Rui Concubine, who can remember Man Madam Ya and Yin Zhaoyi? If they go east, even if they think they can defeat me, it will not benefit Concubine Xuan and Concubine Rui. What's going on with Guan Meng Youyi and Yin Xiang?"
"If those two don't want to disappear into the background of all the concubines, why don't they make any noise?"
She said with some surprise, "Originally, I thought that Meng Youyi would make the first move. After all, Meng seems to be a lively and noisy person, but I didn't expect that Yin would be more willing to take action."
The Qing man frowned and said, "Your Majesty, the Yin family is young and from a good background. With these two points, Bi Dongdong can also ask her to give her some dignity. Tomorrow she will take the initiative to dance, and then follow Bi Dongdong to change clothes. , Afraid of it... I'm afraid that I accepted her favor at that time. If Bidong went to her place tomorrow, and if he comes to meet her, I'll ask the Yin family to take the initiative to please her, and I'm afraid Bidong will hang around too much."
"My maid knows that the empress is very generous, and she has often recommended concubines to serve the Emperor."
"However, after all, Yin Zhaoyi is not comparable to the concubines. Bi Dongzhong was born in Yishi, and Bi Dong never let her have the slightest desire to cross the boundaries of a concubine."
"If Yin Zhaoyi is favored just like this, let alone other things, if she gets pregnant and gives birth to Prince Dong, will it be detrimental to our eldest prince?"
Yun Fenghuang chuckled and said: "Does that mean that Concubine Xuan and Concubine Rui are not popular? The most anxious person at that time is none other than me."
She took a sip of tea and said slowly, "It's hard to be favored in the palace, it's hard to keep favor, it's hard to be pregnant, it's hard to keep a fetus, and it's even harder to give birth... Yin Zhaoyi took the initiative to fight for favor for the first time. One step at a time, and it will be a lot of fun to meet Donglai."
"Although Concubine Xuan and Concubine Rui are a little more reserved, she is not stupid at all."
"Let me watch. Starting tomorrow, the palace will become lively."
In fact, I didn’t even wait until the next month.
That morning, Ruifei used the excuse of sudden heartache and sent someone to Yin Xiang's place to call him to her residence.
Ruifei's heartache was not cured by the next month, so Chunjia stayed with her for three days in a row. During those three days, people's hearts were filled with excitement, and everyone was trying their best to think of reasons to attract people. On the evening of the third day, Yun Fenghuang calmly asked someone to report to the emperor, saying that the eldest prince had a cough and asked the emperor if he could come over and have a look.
Everywhere was silent.
Not that he wanted to show that he valued the emperor's heir, but that he was afraid of Yun Fenghuang's ruthlessness.
Who knows if the eldest prince interfered and prevented the emperor from passing by, whether a trivial matter would turn into a big deal, and then he would be blackmailed by the wise concubine
The eldest prince who could harm her even if he made a mistake, was neither her biological son nor even her name, so why should she be reluctant to part with him
So Chunjia walked towards the twilight and arrived at Jieyue Xiaozhu.
Although he doesn't attach as much importance to his own flesh and blood as outsiders think, he doesn't take it completely seriously.
After entering the house and saying no courtesy, he walked towards the house where a pair of children were housed. As he walked, he asked Yun Fenghuang, "Why are you coughing? Did you catch a cold at night?"
I took the time to pay attention to Concubine Dong Chong, "Although it is not hot in Ruming, it is different in the mountains. Concubine, please don't be too greedy for cold weather in the morning, or you will have a stomachache if you look back carefully."
Yun Fenghuang thanked him with a smile, and accompanied him in to see the two children. They were both red and tender, and they had just drank milk. They were sleeping soundly with their mouths pouted and their fists clenched.
Both children were growing well, so Chunjia watched them for a while, then returned to the main hall with light legs and feet, and breathed a sigh of relief: "I saw that they didn't cough when they fell asleep. It seems that the problem is not serious? What did the imperial doctor say? ?”
"The imperial doctor will come over tomorrow to ask for Ping An's pulse." Yun Fenghuang waved his leg to ask the attendant to retreat, and his tone became resentful, "I said both children are fine - did the eldest prince have a cough and was choked by the wet nurse just now? It's gone, and it'll be fine after taking pictures for a while. I asked someone to pass those words over, and I really want to see if Bidong remembers me and my wife, the three of them?"
Chunjia didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and said: "The Yin family are very vindictive, why did I get involved?"
"I'm afraid that if I don't find a reason to invite you, Dong will have no time to come to my place." Yun Fenghuang said unhappily, "I know that I am not blessed enough to have children for you. , it is said that there are not many royal heirs and biological mothers in the palace who are noble, so I should not compete with Concubine Xuan, Yin Zhaoyi and the others, but since Bidong has not come for those confinements, I am really thinking about it... Besides, Your Majesty Dong had gone to Concubine Xuan and Concubine Rui many times before, but they didn’t give birth to any children for Bi Dong!”
Chun Jialian hugged her and coaxed her: "Then I wanted to use their father and brother, so I couldn't care more about them? Then in March, it was because she was sick at Ruifei's place. I said there was something wrong, and she was very worried. It’s all right, why don’t you come to see me too?”
Yun Fenghuang pushed him and said angrily: "Bidong went to see the eldest prince as soon as he came. Why do you want to see me? You don't value the emperor's heir very much!"
"I sent someone to say that the eldest prince had a cough. Why didn't I check the situation first when I came? Otherwise, wouldn't I be suspicious that I don't care about my son's son?" Chunjia pinched her cheek and smiled. He said, "I'll try my best to challenge you!"
Yun Fenghuang laughed and said: "Where do you get the courage from me? Concubine Xuan Ruifei Yin Zhaoyi has such a noble background, even if her status is to the east of me, she has never taken me seriously. That's very demanding. Yin Zhaoyi tried every means to please His Majesty, and she did not hesitate to ask for a dance for His Majesty even though she was competing with the concubines for his favor... How dare I challenge you? I dare not take that charge!"
Chunjia kissed her: "Here we go again, I always say such sarcastic words every time I'm unhappy."
"Bidong is right next to me, why am I unhappy?"
"It's my fault, it's my fault that I didn't have time to come over in March and didn't send me a message or anything." Chunjia admitted her mistake, "Tōji won't be like that, okay?"
Yun Fenghuang thought about it for a while and it was almost done. He was afraid that he would create a bad atmosphere by making trouble again, so he put on an air and smiled slightly: "I don't dare to take what Bidong said! You are very willing. Come to my concubine, I am begging to thank God! After all, my concubine has been in the palace for a full year before Xuan Fei and the others, I am afraid that I will be tired of seeing it long ago... In the past two months, Concubine Lin's place was full of love. With the new arrival, won't it make me look more and more old and sallow?"
"The eyebrows are not fully grown, so why do you say that someone is old and sallow?" Chunjia couldn't laugh or cry, "Stop saying that, I've been with you for the past two months, eh?"
He did enjoy the competition between noble concubines like Yin Zhaoyi and Ruifei for him, but after all, Yun Fenghuang had a special status. For example, Ming Chunjia was kind to Luo Hanyi and others, and the most important thing he wanted was theirs. The father and brother are still there, but the concubine herself has no special feelings.
Therefore, when Yun Fenghuang was jealous, he acted coquettishly, but he was very unhappy in his heart, feeling that Concubine Xian did not have her own feelings in her heart.
As a matter of course, he stayed at Jieyue Xiaozhu that day, even if Rui Fei sent someone over to say that their mother's heart ached even more. Rui Fei was lying on the bed, dying, waiting for Bi Dong. I went over to take a look... Chunjia faced Yun Fenghuang's half-smiling gaze and told the visitor gently: "In that case, quickly send someone to summon a few more imperial doctors to give Ruifei a look. I will be there tomorrow." Concubine Xian is resting over there, so I won’t disturb her rest.”
The visitor asked anxiously: "Can you..."
"Can you say something?" Chunjia's face suddenly darkened and she looked at him coldly.
Chunjia's reputation in the palace has always been kind and kind, so he was always afraid of the palace people. Only then did the young waiter dare to try to fight for his mother-in-law - but the emperor is not the emperor. Now seeing Chunjia Turning his face, the waiter immediately fell to the ground and apologized repeatedly.
Yan Yin looked at Chun Jia's face and told him to get out. The waiter retreated as if he had received an amnesty. Only then did Yun Fenghuang say with a smile: "Is it true that Concubine Rui's heart aches? Is she in need of medicine?" Doctor, it’s best if Bidong is by your side at all times!”
Chunjia glanced at her when he heard the words, and just as he was about to speak, he heard the concubine continue, "Bu Nao, Concubine Rui is not the only one in the palace who has such a problem. Is there not a single fault in my body at that time?" Jin, I need Bidong to accompany me so I can come here faster."
"... When did I get that problem?" Chunjia picked up the tea and took a sip. The young emperor's eyes were deep and he said with a smile, "I didn't know about it before. Let me take a closer look later."
