That night, after Chunjia finished talking to Concubine Xie, someone brought the fourth prince up, teased him for a while, and then lost interest.
After all, this is the first time the fourth prince has seen his biological father since he landed.
He had only been a child for a few days, and he was already somewhat sensible and could be coaxed. No matter how much he was taught to "behave when meeting His Majesty," Chunjia was still a stranger to him.
I was very nervous, scared, and wanted to cry.
He ignored his father's words to him and looked around for people he knew well. The wet nurse was standing far away, so he looked at Concubine Xie and stretched out his hand towards Concubine Xie to hug her... Of course Concubine Xie also hoped that her son would follow her. Chunjia was affectionate. She knew that if a miracle didn't happen, her mother and son would be destined to be princes and concubines in the future.
But the treatment of the concubine follows that of the feudal king, and the feudal king and the feudal king are also different.
Not to mention anything else, the fiefdom directly determines the status of the feudal king's line from now on.
Concubine Xie didn't expect anything good from the fourth prince, so she thought that she would not be favored. At least she could let her son touch Chunjia's loving fatherly heart while he was young and cute, so that he could have a good place when he was canonized in the future.
As a result, the fourth prince cried immediately when he saw that Concubine Xie didn't respond and even looked at her hoping that he would come to Chunjia...
Chunjia coaxed him for a while at first, but when he saw his son crying endlessly, his expression became a little bad.
Seeing that something was wrong, he quickly pushed a wet nurse out to accuse him and carried the fourth prince down.
"Your Majesty, please forgive me. It's because I didn't teach Mian'er well." Concubine Xie felt sorry for her son and was frustrated at the same time. She resisted the urge to follow the fourth prince and said to Chunjia, "It's also Mian'er who is still young. In the future, Definitely not."
She was thinking that Chunjia had never been here before, and Gong Xiangyang was young, so she had not paid attention to the teachings in this regard.
But you can't relax in the future. You must let Gong Xiangyang know the importance of winning the emperor's favor.
As a result, I heard Chunjia say: "This child has not been raised well, and he does not have the dignity that a prince should have. Rang'er said he is his eldest brother, but he is only a few months older than him, but he is not like this."
Concubine Xie almost couldn't breathe, and she almost shed tears because of her son's grievance: Because Gong Xiangrang was the eldest son of the emperor and was raised by the favored concubine Min, I am afraid that he has not seen Chun for a few days from birth to now. Chia!
I also know that His Highness the King of Qin must be very familiar with his biological father. Never mind that he was a baby before, but now he can walk and talk intermittently. With a little guidance, he will see Chunjia's cheerful and cute ways.
If her Mian'er was treated like this, would she just want to hide in her mother's arms when she saw Chunjia
"...Your Majesty said that." Concubine Xie was extremely sad, but she did not dare to disobey Chunjia. She had to hold back her anger and apologize, saying that it was all her fault and that she did not know how to teach children. She must pay attention to it in the future and try not to call her Gong Xiang. No matter how petty he was, he just wanted to hide himself in front of his biological father.
"Don't be too harsh. The children are still young, so take your time." Chunjia felt moved when he heard this, and then said in a slower tone, "Anyway, when you go to school, you will be taught by your teacher."
Doesn’t this mean that I can’t teach children
And he didn't trust her, and felt that even if he pointed out her mistakes, she still wouldn't be able to teach the prince well!
Concubine Xie forced a smile: "... Your Majesty is right."
The fingers in the sleeves have pinched into the palms.
She silently told herself that there was a long time to come, and even if Chunjia was not satisfied with herself, she finally started to pay attention to the fourth prince.
This is better than Chunjia continuing to act like the two of them don't exist. She might as well take good care of them. From now on... there is no future, because Chunjia suddenly stood up, said that she still had something to do, and walked out directly.
"Empress, what's going on, Your Majesty?" As soon as he left, Concubine Xie was dumbfounded. She hurriedly came in and asked, "Your Majesty, aren't you staying today?"
"...I don't know either." Concubine Xie was also confused. She hesitated for a while before saying, "You were just talking so well, but Your Majesty suddenly said that there is something else."
The master and servant looked at each other for a moment, and then a palace attendant asked tentatively: "Is it... that His Highness the Fourth Prince cried so hard that it disturbed His Majesty's interest?"
Concubine Xie felt that it shouldn't be the case, because Chunjia had just been talking about the education of the fourth prince. But if she denied it, wouldn't it mean that she failed to retain the emperor
This is too shameless.
Then he pursed his lips and said nothing, which was regarded as acquiescence.
I just sighed and was very disappointed. I felt that it was so easy for the emperor to think of his master, but he was disturbed by his little master. It was a real pity.
"Since Your Majesty has already remembered your Majesty and the Fourth Prince, he will definitely come again in the future. Let's teach the Fourth Prince a lesson now, and we can be more intimate with His Majesty when we see him later." But we can't chase the Emperor and pull him back. , a group of people discussed it for a while, and then advised Concubine Xie, "This way Your Majesty will be willing to stay."
Concubine Xie reluctantly agreed and said, "It doesn't matter even if His Majesty doesn't come in the future. After all, we can still live our lives as usual?"
"Your Majesty, you can't go on like this." Upon seeing this, an elder palace man winked and asked everyone to go out. He stepped forward and said, "My maid, I have to say damn it, you can give birth to the prince peacefully and calmly." To this day, the person at Lanzhou Yeyu Pavilion, whether intentionally or not, has really helped you a lot! However, this is the case when she has not expressed her stance. What if she expresses her stance one day and says she doesn’t care about you? Then then What will you and the Fourth Prince do?"
Concubine Xie was upset and said: "Hasn't she always said that she is a sister to me? How can she ignore it?"
Moreover, "I know what you want me to do. If I can fight for something, will I not go? But you also know that I have not been liked by Your Majesty since I entered the palace. Pass!"
"It's rare for His Majesty to come here today, but he doesn't even want to stay the night."
"You said, even if I force myself to come to His Majesty, will Your Majesty be able to accept it?"
"When the time comes, not only will I not be favored by His Majesty, but I will attract the attention of the Sixth Palace, and I won't even be able to live such a peaceful life now!"
The elder palace man was startled, and after thinking about it, he sighed: "I have wronged you."
"It's okay." Concubine Xie said seriously, "The status of the concubine is not an grievance at all, and there is a child under the knee. He is neither the eldest nor the legitimate son, so it is not so eye-catching. Let's take good care of him and wait for him. Once you grow up, you will feel more at ease when you go to a fiefdom."
As he spoke, he sighed, if given a choice, who would want to be a widow at a young age
But there is no choice but to compromise like this.
"What the empress said is that the servant is confused." The elder palace man thought for a while and felt that he was impulsive. Maybe it was too long since the emperor came and it was a rare visit. He was so happy that he went to his head.
The imperial concubine has become the status quo. How can she easily shake her status
If other concubines in the palace came out to compete for favor, maybe Yun Fenghuang would show a generous attitude.
But if Concubine Xie said it, the concubine would probably take action immediately.
After all, His Highness the King of Qin, who is under the imperial concubine's knees, is holding the Duke Yi's palace hostage as the heir of Concubine Zhenxi. How could he allow Duke Yi's real biological daughter to be brought up
Therefore, if Concubine Xie wants to live a good life, she can only stay contented.
Unless she can win the concubine's favor in one fell swoop... how is that possible
"Auntie..." Seeing that the elder palace lady was about to leave, Concubine Xie subconsciously shouted. When she turned around and looked at her inquiringly, Concubine Xie's mind was racing, and she shook her head and said, "That's all, it's nothing. It's just I feel a little embarrassed, I’m afraid that all the Sixth Palace will laugh at me tomorrow.”
"Your Majesty is leaving because of something, and it's not like I'm angry with you." The elder palace man said hurriedly, "Your Majesty is afraid of delaying the state affairs if you don't stay. Who can talk about it? Isn't that deliberately provoking trouble! Such a person, we I’m too lazy to talk to them.”
The main reason is that Concubine Xie is not favored. Although her status is not withheld, her attendants have little weight in the palace.
When they encountered palace officials such as Imperial Concubine Shu and Concubine De concubine talking about their master, they did not dare to argue with him at all.
Concubine Xie made a few prevarications to let her vent her anger, then sighed again, showing a complicated expression.
In fact, she just called the Changgong man to ask someone to help with what Chunjia had said before, which was to give her birth mother a title.
Instinctively, she felt that there was something in Chunjia's words, but after all, Concubine Xie had never been pampered before, and she didn't know the emperor very well, so she couldn't figure out what he meant for a while.
Because since entering the palace, she first relied on her late sister, Concubine Zhenxi Shu, and then was forced to rely on her current so-called good sister, Concubine Min. Concubine Xie had no one in the palace who could speak to her. If you have something to discuss, you can only discuss it with the valet. The valet just now is the most capable one, so it is said to be an excellent choice.
But…
She is the one left by Concubine Zhenxi.
My heart goes to my aunt, the Han family.
Concubine Xie felt that it might not be appropriate to tell her about her biological mother's imperial title.
But if you don’t tell this palace man, who can you tell
When Concubine Xie was in trouble, Chunjia had already strode into Lanzhou Yeyu Pavilion.
At this time, Yun Fenghuang had fallen asleep. When she heard that he was coming, she was very annoyed and deliberately put on her clothes slowly. When she finally put on her robe, Chunjia had already gone upstairs and walked in, asking her to stop being busy. : "I just went to Concubine Xie's place for some business, and I took a look at the fourth child."
"The fourth prince must be very cute?" Yun Fenghuang couldn't hear him mentioning an heir now. It wasn't that he was really depressed that he couldn't have a child, but he thought about how he was tricked into the palace by the little Han family and committed suicide in order to become a concubine. This wretched maid At first, I felt uneasy because I had nowhere to go, but when I found out that Yun Qike had fallen in love with Yun Fenghuang, I decided to kill him... Now I'm actually happy! Most likely still a male heir! ! !
She has never suffered such a big loss in her life. Even if she and Qi Jiulu were not destined to each other and lost a childhood sweetheart like Qi Jiulu, Chunjia, who is now following her, treats her well, right
Unlike the little Han family, who committed such an evil act, she followed her mother-in-law into the palace after Yun Fenghuang gained power, and tremblingly apologized once, and then continued to live under the protection of the Duke of Yiguo. Now she even I'm going to be a mother!
Next, her husband and uncle will be reused by Chunjia!
At this moment, Yun Fenghuang wanted to slap Chunjia in the face. She suppressed her anger and said coldly, "Your Majesty, your descendants are now prosperous. It is truly gratifying and congratulatory."
Chunjia originally thought she had found a topic that interested her and came here specifically, but upon hearing this, she felt regretful and thought that she had not considered it carefully.
But when he came, he could only bite the bullet and continue: "... The fourth child is not cute at all, and he is far worse than our Rang'er. I said that Concubine Xie can't teach children, and she is far inferior to you."
Yun Fenghuang sneered and said: "Maybe because Rang'er is not my biological flesh and blood, if I don't teach him well, some people will doubt that I am careless, so I am extra attentive."
"..." There is no way to talk about this.
Chunjia originally planned to praise the concubine for her good parenting skills. Maybe the concubine would be in a better mood if they talked about the children
After all, although the imperial concubine was worried that she could not have a child, she was still very kind to King Qin and Princess Zhaoqing.
Chunjia felt that the imperial concubine attached great importance to the children, so the imperial concubine must be interested in talking about the children's education, right...
Now that he had a bad start, he was embarrassed for a while, and couldn't help but tell the whole story about his unfinished plan: "I just went to Concubine Xie not to see the fourth child, but to inquire about Mrs. Duke Yi Guo with Concubine Xie."
As the emperor spoke, he paid attention to the look on the concubine's face and said, "Didn't I go to Concubine De's place before? I also asked Concubine De about some things. I think what Concubine De said makes sense... The family tradition of the Han family is not very good. Letting the big Han family and the little Han family continue to be the head of Duke Yi, I'm afraid it will be detrimental to the Yu Yun family's family tradition. How can the Yun family be able to take on such an important role?"
Yun Fenghuang looked up at him in surprise. Of course she knew that the emperor had gone to see Concubine De and Concubine Xie in the past two days.
He thought he was showing off to him. After he was busy with government affairs during the day, he couldn't bear to come back to the harem to cause trouble, so he went to enjoy the tenderness and consideration in front of the two concubines who had a more docile temperament.
Is Co-author trying to find a way to relieve his anger
My mood was a bit complicated for a while.
"But since Your Majesty wants to use the Yun family's son, he rashly blames the Yun family's mistress, the wife, for fear that it will be bad for the overall situation." She said casually, "After all, she is the wife of Duke Yi, the biological mother of the prince, and First match, why don’t you forget it.”
Of course, this was just a polite comment.
However, maybe she was unreasonable more often. Chunjia was actually very touched. She felt that the imperial concubine had always had a character that was determined to retaliate, but now she was willing to give in and compromise, naturally it was all for him.
"Let's just come here if we don't know." Chunjia's tone became softer and gentler, "If there is chaos in the backyard of Duke Yiguo's mansion, the true face of Han's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law is exposed, and Duke Yiguo and his son clean up the house, then What does it have to do with us? It won’t hinder the overall situation."
In order to please his favorite concubine, he did not hesitate to sell out the residence of an important minister.
Yun Fenghuang thought it was funny. He curled his lips and said, "There is no airtight wall in the world. If only Mr. Yi Guogong and his son knew about it..."
"..." That's really embarrassing.
It's okay to be the emperor's scheming minister. After all, the game between the emperor and his ministers is natural, but to scheming the minister's wife and daughter-in-law, this...
Chunjia hesitated for a moment, but quickly convinced herself: First, the Han family's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law were not innocent, and they deserved to be cheated. As the emperor, it is natural for me to do justice for heaven; second, Yun Zhao is a loyal minister, and he will not It is because of the ungrateful mother-in-law and daughter-in-law that they argue with themselves as the emperor. If he cares about it, it means that he is not loyal enough to the emperor, and he deserves it!
Well, what he did was indeed reasonable and well-founded!
The emperor said seriously, "So what?"
Yun Fenghuang held his chin and looked at him for a moment. Finally, a smile emerged from his eyes, and he took the initiative to go over and kiss his cheek: "Ah Ji is so nice!"
