"She had a beautiful idea!!!" Yun Fenghuang only found out about the news five or six days later. The news was passed on to Queen Mother Qu, who told Yun Fenghuang to stop this matter no matter what. Queen Mother Qu had narrowly escaped death before. , it was the hand of Queen Mother Yuan, not to mention the grudges in the early years, just this one thing, Queen Mother Qu was absolutely not willing to let Princess Kunze, whom she raised with her own hands, marry Yuan's son and contribute to the prosperity of Xingningbo Mansion!
In fact, she didn't need to tell her that Yun Fenghuang would never sit back and let Queen Mother Yuan's wishes come true.
At this moment, he sneered and said to the palace attendant sent by Queen Mother Qu, "Don't worry, this matter will definitely not happen."
Seeing that the palace man was obviously relieved, he lowered his tone and asked, "By the way, I don't know what the Queen Mother and the princess herself think about the county horse?"
The palace man said respectfully: "The Empress Dowager said that the princess is not a smart person, and she should just look for someone with a loyal character and who is willing to treat the princess well. As for the princess herself... the princess has always been raised in the deep palace, and she has never seen her often. Outsiders, they don’t have any ideas, they just say that they will listen to the Queen Mother in everything.”
"I know." Yun Fenghuang nodded, "Don't worry, I will find a good county horse for the princess, and then let the Queen Mother and the princess decide on their own."
After dismissing the palace servants, she backed away again, thinking about what to do about this matter.
There is no doubt that Chunjia should be more in favor of this matter.
Otherwise, Queen Mother Qu could just refuse on her own, and why would she need to send a message to her to ask for help
It's easy to understand that Chun Jia would agree with this, because although he values Empress Dowager Yuan more, Empress Dowager Qu is also his biological mother, biological mother and son. Even if they haven't gotten along much since childhood, they are still related by blood.
However, because of Empress Dowager Yuan's previous actions, Empress Dowager Qu once made a fuss about leaving the imperial capital and returning to Fuyang County. From then on, there was a grudge between the two empress dowagers.
Now Princess Kunze is getting older and it’s time to leave the court.
This is the daughter raised by Queen Mother Qu. If she marries Queen Mother Yuan's nephew, it will definitely be helpful for the two Queen Mothers to turn their hostility into friendship.
From Chunjia's point of view, of course I hope that the two empress dowagers can resolve their differences and get back together.
This was also the reason why he received the news five or six days ago but did not tell Yun Fenghuang, the person who was ordered to find a horse for Princess Kunze, at all. He was simply afraid that Yun Fenghuang would interfere with it.
"After all, the Queen Mother and Your Majesty are biological mother and son. If the Queen Mother insists on refusing, Your Majesty will not be able to force Princess Kunze to marry Yuan's son." Chen Jing gave her a suggestion, "Now I sent someone to find your Majesty for advice. In addition to trusting your Majesty, I also didn’t want to be too estranged from Your Majesty. In this case, why did your Majesty have to object so openly? Why not make an agreement with the Queen Mother to find a romantic partner for the princess in advance? Please, when the time comes, your Majesty can't just care about the face of the loving mother, the Queen Mother, and ignore the mood of the Holy Mother, Queen Mother and the princess, can you beat the couple?"
Yun Fenghuang nodded slightly and looked at Chen Zhu next to him: "Chen Zhu, what do you think?"
Chen Zhu was a little flattered. His previous negligence caused his master to fall into a crisis. After being demoted to deputy general manager, he did not dare to slack off at all during this period. However, because of Chen Jing's talent and flattery, he had hope of regaining the position of general manager. Not to mention that he was already very insignificant, even Yun Fenghuang hadn't mentioned his name specifically for a long time.
At this moment, he quickly suppressed all the complicated thoughts in his heart and said in a particularly respectful manner: "Your Majesty, I think the words of the chief steward are reasonable. However, your majesty has always been wise and powerful. If the princess of Kunze is happy with the foreign man, I'm afraid it will be difficult to hide it from Your Majesty afterwards. Moreover, please tell me bluntly, over in the palace city, the Queen Mother has not been involved in worldly affairs for a long time. She wants to hide it from her loving mother and arrange for Princess Kunze to meet her foreign husband, but she is afraid that she is unable to do so. . If we wait until the Queen Mother returns to do it, on the one hand, it will be difficult for the Queen Mother to clear up the relationship, and on the other hand, the loving mother Queen Mother may not be worried about the opposition of the Mother Queen Mother, so she will strike first!"
Chen Jing's face looked a little ugly. Chen Zhu's words seemed to be a supplement to echo his opinions, but in fact they were a tactful reminder to Yun Fenghuang that Chen Jing's suggestions were unreliable and it was not safe to blame him. .
Sure enough, Yun Fenghuang frowned when he heard this, thought for a while, and then asked Chen Zhu: "Then what do you think?"
"May I ask, do you want to prevent the Yuan family from marrying Princess Kunze, or do you already have a candidate for Princess Kunze?" Chen Zhu pondered for a moment and asked in a low voice.
Yun Fenghuang weighed it for a moment and said: "I have not yet made up my mind about the candidate for the county horse. The top priority is to stop the Yuan family's idea!"
When she said this, she felt a little resentful towards Queen Mother Yuan.
Because without Empress Dowager Yuan's intervention, although it would be very difficult to arrange for Jiang's children to be county horses, it was not completely hopeless.
But now that something like this has been added to her family, she can't tell Chunjia this.
Otherwise, even if there was no evidence, Chunjia would still doubt her.
"If that's the case, empress, why don't we take action from the Xingning Bo's Mansion? After all, although Princess Kunze is not as noble as the three eldest princesses, she is still a daughter of the clan, and not just any child in the Bo's Mansion is qualified to ask for marriage. Before Chen Zhu could answer, Chen Jing suddenly said, "And what happened before has finally come to an end. Mrs. Xingning Bo has visited the palace several times in the past few days in the name of paying her respects. I think it's about the same." Is it time for Uncle Zhaowu’s Mansion to be aware of this matter?”
Yun Fenghuang narrowed his eyes and quickly calculated. Of course, what Chen Jing said was to send someone to persuade the Yuan family's children and persuade the Queen Mother to arrange for the adoption of Concubine Yuan Xian once she gave birth to a male heir, so that the prince with Yuan family's blood could be adopted. , entered the East Palace.
In this way, after the new king ascends the throne, he can continue to ensure the prosperity of Xingningbo Mansion.
... In fact, Yun Fenghuang knew that Queen Mother Yuan would most likely not agree to her family's idea.
Because Chunjia probably wouldn’t nod this way.
This can be seen from the emperor's attitude towards Xingningbo Mansion and the Yuan family's daughter in the palace.
The lessons the Ji family taught the Gongxiang family were too profound. Chunjia respected the Queen Mother Yuan and doted on Yun Fenghuang, but she also guarded against it and was unwilling to give the Yuan family the possibility of the Xie family becoming the second Ji family.
Both Queen Mother Yuan and Yun Fenghuang knew this.
It's completely impossible. How could Queen Mother Yuan go against Chunjia
But Xingningbo Mansion is the Queen Mother's natal family after all, and she still has feelings, otherwise she wouldn't have made all kinds of calculations to make Yuan Zhiniang a good concubine.
From this point of view, it is no wonder that Queen Mother Yuan did not care about Princess Kunze in the past, but suddenly thought of this concubine's marriage: in order to appease the Yuan family, and probably also to prove to Chunjia that she was willing to reconcile with Queen Mother Qu.
"Your Majesty, there is only Zhaowu's Mansion, I'm afraid it will easily arouse suspicion!" Chen Zhu saw this and said quickly, "If we don't spread this news secretly, then all the people who intend to marry Princess Kunze will be Targeting the Yuan family! In this way, even if something goes wrong among the Yuan family’s children, the empress will not be blamed!”
"... Let's do it like this." Yun Fenghuang was reminded, and then he remembered that he was considering whether to appoint a descendant of the Jiang family, so he kept the news quiet. At this moment, he was horrified and ordered Chen Jing and Chen Zhu, "Send people to hurry up immediately. When you go back to the Imperial Capital, you must let everyone know as soon as possible that the emperor wants to choose a son-in-law for Princess Kunze! It is important to remind you that the children of the Yuan family have no talent and virtue, but they are trying to rely on their loving mother, the Queen Mother, to miss the royal princess!"
She is really confused. Chunjia has kept the news from her. In the past few days, she has not come to ask her not to choose someone for Princess Kunze. She probably just wants to cut the knot quickly and finalize the matter before telling her.
If she didn't take advantage of the fact that she still "didn't know anything" to do anything, when he personally told her not to interfere and not to spread the word, she would be openly provoking the emperor, wouldn't she be starting a dispute
Although Yun Fenghuang is not afraid of fighting with Chunjia, as Chen Jing and Chen Zhu said, this is something that cannot be done.
After all, things like love will fade away if there is too much quarrel.
Yuan Yuniang is a lesson learned from the past.
Therefore, we must gain enough hatred for Yuan as soon as possible!
That is to say, after half a day, Chunjia came, saying that she came to see King Qin and Princess Zhaoqing. She did play with the two children for a while, but not long after, someone took the emperor's heir down and waved him away. .
Yun Fenghuang knew what was going on, but he deliberately looked surprised and said, "What's going on?"
"Kunze's county horse, have you been able to find a suitable one in the past two days?" Chunjia hesitated, hesitating like he was embarrassed but determined to speak.
"Royal Princess, you are still your only blood relative, how can you just find one?" Yun Fenghuang sneered secretly, and said coquettishly, "Of course you have to carefully choose and shop around! Besides, spring has not arrived yet, so we have to decide now. If he is just an embroidered straw bag and fails to pass the examination at all, wouldn’t it be a loss of face for the princess? I just discussed it with the queen before, and I thought that the news should be spread out first, and then Pick someone with a clean birth, good appearance, good talent and decent character, and ask people to search for him in detail, and report carefully."
There's nothing wrong with this arrangement.
If Chunjia hadn't suddenly changed her mind, she would have had to praise her for her hard work.
But now he had other plans. He coughed dryly and said, "I was in a hurry before and thought of looking for a county horse for Kunze, but I forgot to ask her myself."
Yun Fenghuang felt something was wrong and hurriedly said: "Can you not ask the princess and the Queen Mother the Queen Mother? It's just inconvenient to be away from each other now. What I think is that after we go back, we should almost come up with something." The list is here, take it to talk to the Queen Mother and Princess Kunze when the time comes."
"... This is not necessary." Chunjia said bravely, "Actually, the palace sent news two days ago, saying that Kunze has someone in his heart."
Is the Holy Mother Queen Mother such a waste? ?
Yun Fenghuang cursed subconsciously in his mind before regaining his composure, and asked with a hint of curiosity and surprise: "The princess has always been raised in a deep palace, rarely seeing outsiders, but she doesn't know... who she has chosen? Could it be Luo Xun's former one?" Colleagues? That's not bad. Those who can serve in front of the emperor are all carefully selected talents, otherwise they would not be able to win the eyes of the princess."
Chunjia thought about it for a moment and said vaguely: "It is indeed the person in front of me."
Yun Fenghuang knew what he meant. The children of the Yuan family were the emperor's cousins, so couldn't they be in front of him
She didn't point it out, just smiled and said: "In that case, I will go and talk to the Queen tomorrow, so that the Queen will not still remember this matter while she is ill."
Seeing that she didn't ask further questions, Chunjia breathed a sigh of relief and quickly changed the subject: "King Qin has gained a lot of weight again. I see that his chin is almost three layers thick. Even if he is still young, it is a bit shameful to be so fat. You have to Just be careful and don't let him eat too much."
"What father would think that his son is too fat? Besides, he is a little rounder now. I'm afraid he will lose weight in a few years." Yun Fenghuang said disapprovingly, "Don't worry about it then. You feel distressed when you look at him, and in turn blame me as a mother-in-law for not taking good care of him."
In fact, she also felt that King Qin had been spoiled by his servants recently and was too fat, so it was time to cut back on his diet.
But Chunjia said she would not admit it, "Besides, such a small child has no other preferences. He will cry if he is not allowed to eat. I can't stand it when he cries. Otherwise, I will send him to the hospital next time he cries. Where do you want you to try it?"
Chun Jiaxin said that he would definitely be able to bear it, and whether King Qin or Zhaoqing wanted to threaten him by crying, he would not accept this trick at all.
It's just Zhaoqing's repayment. If King Qin was sent to Xingxin Hall for his upbringing, and when King Chu was suffering from sequelae after recovering from his illness, it would inevitably arouse suspicion in the former harem and cause confusion among people, so he declined with a smile and said : "As a mother and concubine, how can I not feel sorry for you? It doesn't matter, he is still young now, let's wait for two years before talking about it."
He couldn't help but say Yun Fenghuang, "I said before that you must be very well-behaved with the children, but who knew you would be so doting on them. If this continues, I will really have to watch them more carefully in the future. They are still young now, so they should be more casual. It's okay. If you grow up, you will be helpless when you cry or make trouble, but how can you do it? "
"Do you think I don't know how to be a mother-in-law?" Yun Fenghuang was unhappy and snorted, "You also know that the children are still young? You are busy following the rules at this moment, don't scare the children. ”
She is actually not very concerned about her two children now...
The main reason is that she is too busy to tear up this and that during this period, and people like Jiang Lai, Xie Hengyu and others have already told her privately that the emperor at his age actually doesn't remember people very well, so he should be nice to them. If they work hard for them, they will forget about it after they die.
So why is she going to all this trouble
It's better to save some energy and wait a few years before pretending to be a virtuous and loving mother.
At this moment, I am guessing what Chunjia means, and I have a good idea of how to raise the two children in the future.
Chunjia obviously doesn't like children who are too wanton, and she doesn't care about discipline and beating the emperor's heirs to a certain extent. This is good, and she thinks so herself.
She was really afraid that after the emperor had been childless for many years, he would love every heir like a treasure and would not allow any criticism or lashing... She was very familiar with this kind of biological father, her own father Xie Jian was like this...
If the Jiang family hadn't been able to suppress Xie Jian at the critical moment, with her temperament, she could have tricked Xie Fenghuan to death early on, but it wouldn't have been the Wang family's turn.
Thinking of Xie Jian and Xie Fenghuan, I also subconsciously thought of Qi Jiulu.
Wei He's Khan Mu'e is ill, and his brother Hele is watching eagerly. Chunjia and his ministers will not let go of this great opportunity to get involved with Wei He. The Dingbei Army, which has been at war with Wei He for many years, will be put to use at any time... Nor What will happen if you know Qi Jiulu
