"This time, the two of them were left behind because of His Majesty's wishes." Yun Fenghuang shook his head slightly. She definitely couldn't let Chunjia know about the fact that she was using Xie Meng as a cover, but to her mother, she said it was okay. , now he came closer to Jiang, and whispered the reason why he loved Xie Meng so much, "... Your Majesty has always thought that I was very distressed when it came to having an heir, so he was particularly fond of Meng'er. I hinted to him like this before. He didn't think about what happened later. As a result, His Majesty thought that I was about to die and suddenly missed me again, so he decided to keep both children. When I found out afterward, I was shocked!"
Jiang frowned slightly: "What you are doing is taking a risk. Even if the empress dowager, a loving mother, cannot tolerate you, at least your majesty is still on your side! How about risking your own life in this situation?"
Yun Fenghuang said: "It's not like I'm gambling with my life, I..."
"I know that when you are close to death, you must keep a trump card to ensure that you will not die." Jiang interrupted her and said in a deep voice, "But it is a fact that you were unconscious for many days! Have you ever thought about it? What was going on in those days? Your safety is in the hands of His Majesty, Qingdu and others. If someone takes the opportunity to cause trouble, do you think you can survive it? And the pair of royal heirs under your knees, you were too busy to take care of yourself at the time. If anything goes wrong with any of them, you will It’s such a shame!”
"But I can't sit still and wait for death!" Yun Fenghuang looked at her and said slowly, "Although the empress dowager is not your majesty's biological mother, she is more important to your majesty than your biological mother! If she is not eliminated for one day, I will We won’t be able to settle down for just one day!”
Jiang shook his head and said: "Where can such a thing exist? There are many mothers-in-law and daughters-in-law who are at odds with each other. Although under the filial piety, the mother-in-law usually has the upper hand, but some daughters-in-law's temperament should not be tolerated by the mother-in-law. Is your child stuck in your throat? How many of them are really fighting to the death? In the end, they just have to make do with their lives. Your children are still young now. When they are older in two years, it is inevitable that the Queen Mother will not take advantage of them!"
Speaking of the heir's question, she pondered for a moment and asked in a low voice, "By the way, I heard that His Majesty personally asked someone to nurse you back to health, but I don't know what the result will be?"
"Okay, it's much better, but I'm afraid there's still no hope for a while." Yun Fenghuang sighed, "But even if it's okay now, I can't give birth now. How old do you think my children will be?" Not long ago, Concubine De gave birth to the third emperor's daughter. The situation was not dangerous, but it was also worrying. Now I am the only one who supports everything in Xuanqing Palace. How can I dare to do anything wrong? "
Jiang nodded: "That's the truth! You are still young, so there is no need to rush! In the past, your sisters and others came out of the cabinet at the age of fifteen or sixteen, and waited until they were nearly ten years old to be happy. Anyway, Your Majesty is still young, so... The prince is raised in front of you again, so there is no need to rush. However, I want to tell you that since your body can be cured, it is better not to mention the pain of childlessness to His Majesty in the future. Otherwise, this He pities you for a while, but when you have children in the future, he can’t help but feel that this thing is worthy of you. Thinking about it the other way around, isn’t it because of yourself that you are in this situation? It’s also because he is obsessed with you right now and just cares about you. I feel heartbroken, but if I come back to my senses, I may not think so again."
"I know, I haven't said anything for more than half a year, but His Majesty has kept it in mind." Yun Fenghuang sighed, "No, he always thought that I was using Meng'er to make up for the regret of not having a biological child. I It’s not easy to tell him the truth, so I can only let Meng’er follow me. I’m thinking about whether to find a reason to send the two children back, so that His Majesty won’t have the idea of letting them follow me all the time.”
After all, Xie Meng is her niece and Jiang's biological granddaughter.
But in Jiang's view, her granddaughter is obviously not as important as her biological daughter, who was pregnant in ten months. Hearing this, he shook his head: "Since Your Majesty is willing to make an exception and let the two children be raised in the palace for your sake, what do you do to refuse?" I have told you before that Qi Jiulu, your Majesty, sincerely accepts the thoughtfulness that he gives you. If he feels touched, he will compensate you later. There is no need to pretend to be a good concubine and refuse. You don't want it once or twice, it's too many times. If you get married, people will assume that you don't need to be considerate. Isn't it unfair?"
The voice lowered, "Besides, our family has a low lintel. If the two children are raised at home, even if they are named your niece, they may not be able to marry into a good family. If they grow up in the palace, will their status be the same? You Counting the days, by the time these two children talk about getting married, the eldest prince and the others will almost be able to pay attention."
She never thought about letting Xie Meng and Xie Kuo marry into the royal family. She just thought, "No matter whether you have biological flesh and blood or not, you will at least have the eldest prince under your knees. Can you not consider him? There are two ready-made in-laws to help, and It doesn’t take much effort on your part, so why bother pushing it out?”
Yun Fenghuang muttered: "I have thought about this before, but seeing as the two children are a bit reluctant to let go, I still hope that they can marry a husband who is in love with each other in the future."
Jiang's heart sank, and she secretly wondered whether her daughter was still thinking about Qi Jiulu
She calmed down for a moment and whispered: "What's wrong with a good husband? How old are they now? How do you know there are so many of them? Are you afraid that you won't be able to teach them what they like and dislike in advance? Besides, we are like this People are very attentive to raising their children, let alone a high-ranking family? You see, your majesty is just a distant branch of the vassal king, and his talent, appearance and bearing are not comparable to those of a family like ours. If you are brave and rich, you can consider it in the future. My husband-in-law is just afraid that he will look down on them, and is he worried that they themselves won’t like him?”
Although Qi Jiulu is good in our northern land, compared with the emperor, even if he is born as a vassal king in the far branch, he is still far behind... So my good daughter, wake up, you have a better one, why bother worrying about the one in front of you
"... It's too early to talk about this now." Yun Fenghuang didn't know whether he heard it or not. He smiled and changed the topic with a natural look, "By the way, how is dad doing recently? His Majesty said that he could have made an exception to let dad I came to see me with you, but I’m busy with things as the end of the year approaches, and I’ll wait until the first month of the coming year to make arrangements. I was wondering if you could stay that long?”
Jiang smiled and said: "Yes, why not? Your status is very different now from before, how can your family not be considerate? Your grandparents have told us to stay here longer and spend more time with you until next spring. We'll leave when we're on the road again. I'm afraid you'll be impatient and think we don't care too much about you."
"Before, being around me every day was naturally annoying, but now we are so far apart, I wish you could talk about it in front of me every day." Yun Fenghuang sighed, "I now hope that my brothers at home will gain some momentum and settle down in the court as soon as possible, and I will accept it when the time comes. Come and stay here for a long time, so you can see me every now and then."
The mother and daughter then said something about missing each other. Because Jiang planned to stay for a few months, there was no need to finish the conversation in a hurry. Seeing that it was getting late, they left.
Not long after she left, Chunjia came. Seeing the clouds and the wind, he smiled and asked her what happened: "I thought you would be happy after meeting Mrs. Jiang."
"Aren't you happy to begin with?" Yun Fenghuang wiped his face carelessly and said gloomily, "It's just that I don't know who is talking too much. He told my mother about the things at the post-book ceremony, and I was scolded by her just now. Dare to lift it up, thank God she left first as it was getting late. Otherwise, I don’t know how long I would have been chanting about it.”
The last time Jiang came to the imperial capital to see his daughter, he directly touched her. The fingerprints on Yun Fenghuang's face took several days to fade, so this time Jiang came to the palace to teach her daughter a lesson. Chunjia was not surprised. In his heart, I admire Jiang as a sensible elder, but in front of Yun Fenghuang, he can't help but be perfunctory.
So he stepped forward and held her in his arms, feeling sorry for her, saying that Jiang was making too much fuss and that my Ah Huang could do whatever he wanted... As a result, after saying a few words, his Ah Huang became unhappy, broke away from his embrace, and stared at her. Said: "My mother is always good for me, unlike you, who knows how to coax me!"
Chunjia felt unhappy and said at a loss of whether to laugh or cry: "Since you know that Mrs. Jiang is doing it for your own good, why are you still unhappy?"
Yun Fenghuang became angry and said: "Then you're not even close! When I played chess with you for the first time earlier, you couldn't beat me, but you were just pretending. Didn't you give up after you took the opportunity to win back?"
"There is no such thing." Chunjia denied calmly, "You remember it wrong."
Yun Fenghuang said: "Yes! Look at you, you're still defaulting on your debt!"
"You remembered it wrong. You were young when you first entered the palace, so your memory is not reliable." Chunjia touched her hair and decisively changed the subject, "There are some new tributes from the front. I think they are good. I will call someone later. Send some to Mrs. Jiang, would you like to use your eyes to see which ones are useful and which ones are not?"
"Just ask the people below to tidy up a few things. I don't think my mother and the others have the heart to care about it now." Yun Fenghuang snorted and muttered, "Do you know what my mother said when she left just now?"
Chunjia recalled Jiang's behavior last time and had already guessed it, but she pretended not to know and said with a smile, "What are you talking about? That is your biological mother, how can she still embarrass you?"
"It would be strange if she didn't make things difficult for me!" Yun Fenghuang looked miserable. "She asked me to apologize to the Queen Mother and the Empress, and she also apologized to you, saying that I knowingly committed a crime and it was not the way of a woman. It was simply Embarrass her... If I dare to be disobedient, she will look good on me when I come to the palace next time!"
"Why would she hit me when I'm already a virtuous concubine!!!"
Chunjia consoled him: "I am already the emperor. If the two queens want to punish them, shouldn't I just listen to them?"
"Sure enough, you and my mother are in the same group!" Yun Fenghuang glanced at him and said angrily, "Go away, I don't want to see you!"
Concubine Chunjia Xindao was really difficult to take care of. She couldn't help her speak to the Jiang family, but she couldn't help her if she didn't speak for her... Well, fortunately, the Jiang family was in the imperial capital now, so he coughed dryly and said with a half-smile: "You are serious Want to drive me away? If your mother finds out about this later, I'm afraid she will send a message to the palace to see you immediately."
Well, let’s hit you.
Yun Fenghuang's face stiffened and he said, "There is no one else here at the moment. How could my mother know about the affairs in the palace?"
Seeing Chunjia looking at her, she grimaced and said, "Your Majesty, the emperor, will you still file a complaint?"
"Ahuang is a noble concubine, do you dare to be a good concubine?" Chunjia asked sternly.
Yun Fenghuang: "..."
Fortunately, my mother is looking towards me in her heart, but she is just showing off to outsiders.
Otherwise, if Chunjia is so shameless, can I still live my life
"... I'm joking with you, but you take it seriously!" After pondering for a second, she smiled decisively, pulled Chunjia's sleeve and said coquettishly, "If you don't know, you think you don't love me anymore!"
