It didn't take long for Yun Fenghuang to write the letter to her family, because she wasn't too verbose. She just asked her family if they could find a way to urge the children to make progress, or should she tell Chunjia to send them back and continue to be squires
After all, she tried to find ways to get these brothers into official careers for the sake of her own future, not just to help them and clean up their mess!
How many favored concubines of the previous dynasty were ruined and their reputations were ruined. After all, they did not do anything immoral, but they were simply ruined by their parents' family's reputation
Yun Fenghuang was not used to people like these in her family. When she was the Seventeenth Miss at home, her brothers and sisters-in-law let her go. Instead of saying that she became a noble concubine, she had to endure her brothers to cause trouble for her.
After giving an ultimatum to the family, Yun Fenghuang followed without delay. When Chunjia came over, he spent some time to cheer him up, and took advantage of the situation to talk about Kunze's marriage.
So within a few days, Princess Kunze's imperial edict to marry Jiang's son Jiang Su was issued.
This caused an uproar because Jiang Su was really indifferent.
He's just the imperial concubine's cousin. Since the imperial concubine has a lot of Xie brothers who haven't taken care of him yet, no one really noticed him.
Even Jiang Zhu himself was flattered.
Because when Yun Fenghuang planned to choose a marriage between Xie Yanxiu and Kunze, the Xie family was not satisfied and blocked the news and did not let him know at all.
Now that the imperial edict was followed, it felt like a pie-in-the-sky surprise and surprise.
When he entered the palace to express his gratitude, he finally couldn't hold it back and ignored his family's instructions and asked Yun Fenghuang: "Why did my cousin tell me about the princess? After all, many of the cousins in the Xie family are not yet married."
"What? Are you worried that there is something wrong with the princess? Are you afraid that my cousin will trick you?" Yun Fenghuang was still annoyed with his brothers for their ineffectiveness these past two days. He snorted coldly and asked angrily.
Jiang Su scratched his head in embarrassment and chuckled: "How is that possible? I just didn't expect my cousin to treat me so well."
Yun Fenghuang stretched out his finger and tapped his forehead, and said angrily: "There are no outsiders at this moment, so I will tell you frankly. Although Mrs. Xie and I have the same clan friendship, we helped Dafang's cousin become an eldest princess. I can't live up to the size of my family. I remember that when I was young, the Jiang family treated me very well! You grew up together with me, breaking bones and connecting tendons. I want to take care of Mr. Xie, but I can't ignore it completely. Maternal family? I have earned this status and favor myself, and it has nothing to do with the family. I will take care of whoever I want to take care of, who can argue with me? "
"Cousin..." Jiang Zhu was immediately moved. He had obeyed Yun Fenghuang since he was a child and had been following his cousin waving flags and shouting. It was just that Yun Fenghuang's status had changed since he entered the palace, and his father and brother at home had repeatedly emphasized that Xie's current status Things are different now. If he gets close to Yun Fenghuang rashly again, he will inevitably arouse the Xie family's suspicion. This is not a good thing for the Jiang family. In the past two years, he has gradually become estranged from his seventeenth cousin.
Now that Yun Fenghuang said this, I feel that all these years have disappeared, as if I still have the same feelings as when I was in the Northland, chasing and playing all over the mountains and plains.
"Don't thank me too quickly." Yun Fenghuang said with a straight face, "Don't think that marrying the princess only has benefits. Let me tell you why such a noble person can marry an ordinary child."
Now that Jiang Su felt that there was no grudge between the two parties, he became bolder. Hearing this, he came closer and said with a smile: "Don't worry, cousin. With my background, if I didn't have my cousin's help, I would be a royal princess." Even the palace maids in front of the royal princess have no chance to do that. No matter what the rules are for being a county horse, I promise to obey you!"
These words sounded quite comfortable, and Yun Fenghuang smiled a little, softened his tone, and said: "There is nothing wrong with it, it's just that you accepted those frivolous intestines... Although the imperial dynasty does not prohibit the princes from having concubines, However, Your Majesty is such a blood-related girl, and she was raised by Your Majesty’s biological Queen Mother. I tell you the truth, the Queen Mother was originally interested in a noble son from a high family, with outstanding appearance and talent. . I spent a lot of effort to tell you about this marriage. I will have to go to the Queen Mother to apologize! Therefore, if you are not good to the princess, your cousin will be the first to have no way to talk to the Queen Mother and Your Majesty. Explain, do you understand?"
Jiang Su felt ashamed and said, "In this case, otherwise... I won't marry this princess? I can't ask my cousin to suffer for me."
After hearing this, Yun Fenghuang looked at him carefully for a while and made sure that he was really worried and not deliberately trying to block himself. Then he snorted and continued: "Xie's side is my cousin, and you are my cousin. I want to At the beginning, they all took the same care of me. Thinking that the Xie family is my father's family, I told them about the eldest princess. It's the Jiang family's turn. It can't be nothing, right? I know this well, so you don't have to worry. If you really feel sorry for me, you must treat me well with the princess in the future, and you are not allowed to do such things as looking for flowers and asking for help!"
"Don't worry, cousin, I will definitely treat the princess well. Even if the princess treats me badly, I will endure it." Jiang Zhu quickly assured her.
Yun Fenghuang didn't feel moved at all, because what Xie Wuzheng said was much more pleasant than him at first, but now... how should I put it? This cousin's every move seemed to be able to withstand scrutiny, but she always felt that she was not so happy.
...Of course, it could also be that her brothers from the same mother were too cheating, and the comparison made her a little psychologically unbalanced.
After encouraging Jiang Su and rewarding him with something, he sent him out of the palace.
Just after Jiang Su left, a man from the Qing Dynasty came up and said, "The Thirteenth Young Madam has handed over a message and wants to come to the palace to pay you respects."
"Is it for the princess's marriage? If so, let her not come." Yun Fenghuang said lightly, "Everyone will only stare at my promotion and not look at what they have done! Tell them , I no longer expect my family to be able to win over me, I just hope that they will not do anything harmful to the world and cause me to be impeached by the court officials, then thank God! In this case, there is no need to specifically praise my natal family, but A lower lintel will reassure the palace and the harem, which is also beneficial to me. Therefore, Princess Kunze’s marriage should be regarded as my gratitude to the Jiang family for taking care of them in the past. Anyone who dares to say anything will Go back to the north with me!"
When these words reached the ears of Xie Xiliu and others, everyone who was originally full of complaints looked at each other in silence.
After a while, someone timidly said: "My Majesty... this is just a missed opportunity. Besides, didn't Twenty-One choose me? Although they are not brothers from the fourth room, their surname is Xie anyway, so they didn't completely embarrass the Madam, right?" "
"I am very pleased with you. I can help you this time, and of course the next time." Xie Xiliu said shamefully, "It's just that our actions this time were too much, and we really disappointed you. Now you are disheartened. Let's talk about it." It’s our fault if you go.”
When he said this, he was actually not very convinced, because when Chen Jing came here on the order of the imperial concubine, he repeatedly asked and had to tell the truth. As a result, the imperial concubine turned around and sold it to Xiao Chen, and asked Xiao Chen to You can do whatever you want.
Then Xiao Chen was rude and took someone to tie up his sweetheart, and tortured him to death in front of Xie Xiliu. At the end, he slapped his ears twice and asked him to take a good long time to remember, and then for The gangsters outside ruined her future and ruined the trust of the empress, so she directly complained to her parents-in-law!
Xie Xiliu felt that he was wrong, mainly because he was afraid of his mother and sister and did not dare to say anything. Privately, he felt that Yun Fenghuang's behavior was too disrespectful of brother and sister, and Xiao Chen was too aggressive and vicious.
But she still protected Yun Fenghuang on her lips and said, "When the city was in turmoil, you all urged the queen to be sent out of the house quickly. Later, the queen came to the imperial capital to stay with others. For three years, except for our fourth house, we felt sorry for ourselves. , who sent someone over to ask her? Even so, when it came to Princess Sui'an's marriage, I thought of you regardless of past grudges."
"Now that the empress is sad, she said something like this, and none of us in the fourth room said anything. Why are you muttering here?"
"Brother Thirteen has misunderstood." Hearing this, the people in the other rooms became very sarcastic and said, "Who among us dares to speak out about the empress? We are also worried about the empress, fearing that the empress will become cold-hearted and become estranged from the family."
Xie Xiliu hummed, "If you are really worried about your Majesty, you might as well think about how to cultivate your moral character and work hard to impress your Majesty."
He wailed in his heart. He finally managed to survive the hard work and became an official. He had his own sister as his backer. He didn't think about any nonsense. He just thought about relaxing occasionally. How could it be like that? What a coincidence, are you in a hurry
Now that he has persuaded his brothers to work hard, how can he, the concubine's biological brother, not take the lead
Thinking about the days before the scientific examination, my eyes really darkened...
Yun Fenghuang naturally doesn't know Xie Xiliu's pain now. She promoted the marriage between Kunze and Jiang Zhu purely for the sake of balance.
The Xie family is now starting to fight among themselves. In addition to being short-sighted and worrying about inequality rather than the lack of numbers, it is nothing more than knowing that she has a bad relationship with the Yun family. She is only a nominal daughter of the clan and cannot and dare not rely on the Yun family. Therefore, They could only count on Xie... She told them with practical actions that she could actually choose Jiang.
From now on, among these two families, she will support whoever satisfies her, makes her happy, and makes her feel promising.
She doesn't belong to her father's family, but now her surname is Yun!
Let’s see if those brothers and sisters-in-law are still interested in scheming and suing each other
But for Yun Fenghuang, Kunze's promise to Jiang Zhu not only supported the Jiang family, but also balanced the power of his mother's family, and once again confirmed his favorability. For Queen Mother Qu, Not so happy anymore.
Empress Dowager Qu, who had been cultivating her moral character for some time, specially called her to Jiashan Palace to argue: "The Ai family comes from a humble background, and there is only such a princess under your knees. How can you bear to marry her to an ordinary family?"
"What did the Empress say?" Yun Fenghuang said softly, "Jiang Su is the candidate that Your Majesty personally nodded to. How can Your Majesty still wrong the Princess? Furthermore, if the Empress Dowager really cares about the Princess, as long as Jiang Su If you treat the princess well, you will be relieved. What if you have other hopes for the princess's marriage? Is this concubine no better than the Yun family? You also know that the Yun family is loyal to your majesty, but because she is too loyal, even if You are the Queen Mother, but you may not be able to control them, what do you think?"
Queen Mother Qu was silent for a while, and actually acquiesced to these words, and only said slowly: "But you are just a noble concubine now, what can you do?"
... When Yun Fenghuang returned to Huanhua Palace from Jiashan Palace that day, Chunjia had been here for a while and was watching King Qin and Princess Zhaoqing playing in front of them, smiling and looking very loving.
When he saw the imperial concubine coming back, he immediately waved for someone to carry the two emperors down, and asked with a smile: "Why do you suddenly want to go to Queen Qu's mother?"
"Why do I want to disturb the Queen Mother?" Yun Fenghuang said while asking someone to untie the cloak, "Isn't it because of Kunze's marriage that the Queen Mother is a little worried, so she summoned me to question her?"
Chunjia knew what she was thinking, so she comforted her with a few words of warmth, and then asked her what the Queen Mother had said.
Yun Fenghuang said: "The Queen Mother is not very satisfied. What can I do? I can only blame it on you. I said that you personally took care of this marriage. If it is not good, what can you do? Did you treat Princess Kunze badly? The Queen Mother didn't say anything after that."
"Today I've been used as a shield for you again." Chunjia sighed with a smile, "That's all, it's good that this matter can be settled like this."
"Even so, I feel unhappy after seeing the Queen Mother." Yun Fenghuang took advantage of the situation and said, "How about giving Princess Kunze more dowry to appease her. After all, the Queen Mother raised the princess with her own hands. , how can the Queen Mother not miss her once she leaves the cabinet?"
Chunjia knew that she was actually taking advantage of the situation to seek benefits for his cousin, but he never cared much about such things, so he agreed with a smile.
Yun Fenghuang then stopped mentioning this, and instead talked about Princess Yun'an's pregnancy: "Calculating the date for her to give birth at the end of the year, the Princess's house must have made preparations, and even the General Qiusi will definitely take care of it. . But our palace cannot remain silent. Those who don’t know, think they don’t value Her Royal Highness the Princess!"
In fact, if Jinzhiyuye gave birth after she fell, if her biological mother was there, she would naturally send someone to inquire.
Under normal circumstances, I only take action after receiving the news afterwards.
But as the heir, Chunjia must show special importance to the flesh and blood of the late emperor, so naturally he must take this matter very seriously.
After thinking for a moment, Yun Fenghuang asked Yun Fenghuang to prepare an imperial doctor in advance and send him to take charge of the situation when the time comes, to show that he attaches great importance to Yun'an.
After talking about some trivial matters, the two settled down.
Chunjia went to court early the next morning. Yun Fenghuang got up late and was dressing up. Zhu E came in with a complicated expression and said, "Mother, Xu Baolin from the side hall said she was unwell yesterday. Because His Majesty was there at the time, the maidservant was afraid To bother you, I took it upon myself to ask someone to hire a medical girl for her. The medical girl said she seemed to have a happy pulse. Do you see this?"
"Then let the imperial doctor take another look." Yun Fenghuang was stunned for a moment, and then said nonchalantly, "If she really is pregnant, we will take care of her according to the rules, so that she can have a good pregnancy and give birth to a strong emperor's heir. ."
She now has three royal heirs, but only Zhaoqing is in her name.
So I quite want a prince in my own name.
Of course, if Mrs. Xu still gives birth to a princess, then... that's okay. We can raise her together. Maybe in more than ten years, she can be an advantage to her nephews.
After explaining the matter, she went to Chongchang Hall to pay her respects.
When they arrived at the palace, they saw that Concubine Shu's seat was empty. Yun Fenghuang raised his eyebrows and asked the queen who was sitting down: "Where is Concubine Shu?"
"The patient just came here and said he was feeling a little unwell." The queen sighed, "She said she had a nightmare last night. Alas, I have already asked the imperial doctor to go over and have a look, but I hope it's nothing serious."
Gu Zhen felt a little annoyed. If Chunjia's knees were still empty, the pregnant concubines would have been missed by everyone. Now the emperor's children totaled ten. Although Shu Fei's status was not low, after giving birth to this child Is there anything else special
Why can't it be peaceful
