Yun Fenghuang has been calm so far about the fact that Princess Yun'an became pregnant not long after she came out of the palace, but Princess Sui'an has never made any move, but if Sui'an has fertility problems, then...
It's not that he sincerely considers the continuation of Xie Wuzheng's bloodline. The key is that only by giving Xie an heir with royal blood can he legitimately receive more favors from Chunjia.
"The eldest princess has grown up in the palace, and the imperial doctor has always asked for her pulse. There must be no big problem." She thought about it for a while and said to Mrs. Jiang, "Perhaps it is because their fate has not yet come to have an heir? I am the third sister-in-law of the eldest family. Remember, it took five years after entering the family to give birth to your legitimate son?"
Jiang said: "How can the situation of your third brother and sister-in-law be compared with that of the Sui'an couple? Your third brother is a romantic man. He took his personal maid into his house before getting married, and he also prefers that maid. Although there are elders in our family who are watching , it is absolutely forbidden to pamper a concubine or kill a wife, but in the end he favors that concubine in his heart. He will not spend many days in your third sister-in-law's room. If your third brother is like the eldest princess of the twenty-one, resting with his wife every day, How is it possible that it took five years to have a legitimate son?"
However, he also agreed with his daughter's words, "Her Royal Highness, Princess Sui'an, looks good. She doesn't look like she has no heirs. Maybe the time has not come yet, but I hope there will be good news as soon as possible."
She sighed and stopped talking about it. She just asked Yun Fenghuang, "If you ask Shi Shiba to go to Cui Wan's sect, what will your Majesty say?"
"Your Majesty was a little displeased, but after being coaxed by me, he didn't care." Yun Fenghuang said in a low voice, "Don't come and stop me about this! My brothers at home can't live up to their expectations and can learn more. It's always good. No matter what Cui Wan said, at that time, his knowledge was second only to Wei Changkong, and he was once a very popular minister. His disciples were all over the government and the public. It was not a loss at all for Brother Eighteen to be his disciple! This was also his I am not well received by His Majesty, and my legitimate daughter is not favored in the palace. Otherwise, for the sake of the Xie family, he may not be willing to give me this face!"
"How could I stop you from such a thing?" Jiang shook his head and said, "I'm just afraid that you would be too concerned about cultivating your brothers and would offend His Majesty! After all, you also know that the foundation of our family now rests on you, and your confidence It all depends on Your Majesty. No matter how you prepare for a rainy day, once the Sacred Heart is lost, it is meaningless!"
Yun Fenghuang said calmly: "Don't worry, mother, I know it well. Of course I won't do anything that will really annoy His Majesty."
Otherwise, she could still make Empress Dowager Yuan jump so fast
Just as she was thinking about Empress Dowager Yuan, Mrs. Jiang asked: "My dear mother, the Empress Dowager's biological niece, Concubine Xian, is currently confinement in Wannian County. I heard that after the full moon, she will return to the palace with the Eighth Prince." The Empress Dowager has always preferred her mother's family. The prince who was born to Concubine An was just for her sake, so Your Majesty gave her the title of King of Qi. But I wonder if there is any news about the eighth prince and the loving Empress Dowager?"
"Then Mother Yuan Zhi is not favored. Even if she gives birth to the eighth prince, it doesn't matter. I almost forgot about it." Yun Fenghuang muttered, "There hasn't been much news from Chunwu Palace in the past two days, but I will ask people to keep an eye on her. On point."
Her mother reminded her that it would be fine if Empress Dowager Yuan did not ask for any extra favor from Yuan Zhiniang this time.
Whenever she opens her mouth, she will be stopped no matter what she says!
As for why…
What reason do you need to add trouble to your enemies!
"Don't always be so sharp." Jiang said with a headache, "Even if His Majesty knew early on that you were not a truly virtuous and virtuous person, after all, the Queen Mother is the one who single-handedly raised His Majesty. You just look at His Majesty's face. , she didn’t come to make things difficult for you, but why do you have to fight with her over these things? You must know that your majesty feels sorry for you now, and he is always so annoyed by you. Who wouldn’t be tired of it after too many times? Think about it, your majesty Do you feel good when you say something wrong about me every now and then?"
Yun Fenghuang said: "I'm afraid that if I don't cause trouble for her, she won't let me go. If I let her make trouble, she will tell the Sixth Palace that I'm afraid of her! Then there will be endless troubles. !”
After hearing this, Jiang was silent for a moment, then sighed: "After all, my family can't help you. If you come from a high family like the Queen, why do you need to use cruel methods to scare everyone?"
"These are meaningless things to say." Yun Fenghuang said, "I told His Majesty two days ago about taking my nieces under my knees to raise them, and he agreed. But right after this and that incident, unexpectedly I haven't been able to do it so far. Since my mother is here today, I will go back and give a message to my sisters-in-law, and ask them to pack them up and send them to the palace gate. Then I will ask someone to fetch them."
After a pause, "It's just a few kids' rules..."
"I've already beaten you." Jiang Shi sighed, "I've been burdening you all the time, so I can't even bother you with a few children. Especially Meng'er, I taught her a lesson emphatically. If she enters the palace, After that, her old ways start to show up, so just send her back and don’t ask her to enter the palace again!”
Yun Fenghuang said: "After all, she looks exactly like me when I was young. Even His Majesty is somewhat partial to her. A little bit of coquettishness is nothing."
This just makes her regret for her children very real.
"Just make sure to tell her not to turn her elbows outward again."
Jiang nodded: "You don't have to say that? I even scolded your thirteenth sister-in-law. How do you teach your daughter? She doesn't have the cleverness you had when you were a child!"
After saying these words and seeing that it was already getting late, Jiang said goodbye and left the palace.
Two days later, Xie Meng, Xie Kuo and Xie Mei were brought to Yun Fenghuang. Not long after Xie Meng, Xie Kuo and Yun Fenghuang parted ways, although the child grew up quickly, he looked a little taller now, and his eyebrows were brighter. It's grown a bit, but it's still familiar.
During this time, the two sisters had been scolded and disciplined by their parents and Mr. Jiang a lot. Xie Meng, who had always been a headstrong and willful man, suddenly became quiet and a little timid. Although Xie Kuo was as quiet and sensible as ever, he looked at Yun Fenghuang with a hint of awe.
In short, the level of docility has increased.
It can be seen that the elders are really working hard to prevent them from causing trouble to Yun Fenghuang.
Yun Fenghuang encouraged them a few words as if he had never driven them away before, and then went to see Xie Mi.
This is the direct daughter of her eldest brother Xie Xishi. She is about the same age as Xie Meng. Her appearance is not very good among the Xie girls. She has a small nose and small eyes, and her body is slightly round. In short, her appearance is not good, and she is born Youyou has developed a body of fine skin and tender meat, which is commendable.
Yun Fenghuang sighed in his heart and thought to himself, how could this niece inherit all the shortcomings of her parents
Xie Xishi and his wife's appearance is better than the best at home, and they can be considered outstanding outside.
But this niece... forget it, she is her biological niece after all.
And he doesn’t look good, but this kid is so lucky!
After all, the two brothers Xie Xishi and Xie Xiye had only one girl who was suitable to be sent to Yun Fenghuang to raise.
The others were either too old or too young, or they were not legitimate children. Their legitimate mothers were not willing to take them out and found various reasons to stop them.
There are no competitors at all.
Otherwise, this opportunity would most likely not come to her.
Even if Xie Mi can pass Jiang's test, there is still something to be said for it.
She has a generous nature, and is neither too unfamiliar nor too flattering towards Yun Fenghuang, an aunt she has little impression of. At such a young age, she actually has a very suitable sense of proportion.
Yun Fenghuang tricked the children into talking, and he had a good understanding of their current temperaments and thoughts, so he smiled and asked someone to take them to rest.
The three nieces will be watched by the palace officials when they arrive. Considering their age, Yun Fenghuang is not going to bother with it yet. He just asked someone to find someone to teach them their homework and set the rules for the exam on the next day.
If you fail, there will be punishment.
If the punishment is too many, send it back.
She doesn't want unmotivated juniors to hold her back.
After dealing with the matter, Yun Fenghuang turned his mind and considered other things. For example, how could he stop Empress Dowager Yuan from asking Chunjia to confer the title of king on the eighth prince
Although there has been no such news from the Chunhui Palace, Yun Fenghuang feels that since the Queen Mother Yuan suppressed Chunjia's father-in-law and gave birth to Concubine An by posthumously making her the King of Qi, Yuan Fenghuang made trouble for her in the first place. Gardenia has become a virtuous concubine, and now Yuan Gardenia has given birth to a prince. Can she not follow the example of King Qin and King Chu and strive for the same treatment for the eighth prince
For this reason, Yun Fenghuang went to see the queen in private and tactfully expressed her concerns about the matter.
But the queen still resented her for misleading her into confronting the Empress Dowager Yuan. She sneered when she heard this: "The Eighth Prince is also your Majesty's biological flesh and blood. Even if the empress dowager, a loving mother, wants to make him a king in advance, it is against the rules, but the rule is that the dead are the living. Yes. Originally, the prince will receive the title of king sooner or later. This is not to let the eighth prince get the glory he does not deserve. It is just a few years in advance. My dear concubine, the eldest prince under your knees has the title of King of Qin, but why should you be so invisible to others? Are human children good? The eldest prince’s stepmother is certainly Concubine Zhenxi, but the eighth prince’s biological mother is also a noble concubine, but how is she any worse than the eldest prince?”
Yun Fenghuang heard her resentment and smiled: "How dare I be disrespectful to my loving mother, the Empress Dowager? It's just that King Qin was consecrated together with King Chu at the beginning. The reason must be that it took only such a short time, and the Queen Mother doesn't know how to do it." Forgot. And what about the Eighth Prince? Why did he receive the title at such a young age? If the empress dowager, the loving mother, insists on opening this hole, the concubines will probably start to make more nonsense in the future, but what does this sound like? "
"..." Gu Zhen frowned.
She wasn't really worried that the concubines would break the rules in the future. She was wondering if this was a tactful threat from the noble concubine
After all, the imperial concubine now has two princes under her knees. The eldest prince has already been named King of Qin, but what about the seventh prince? This is Concubine Wen Huixian's biological flesh and blood, and he is also Yun Fenghuang's adopted son. If the eighth prince gets the treatment of being crowned king in advance, Yun Fenghuang will definitely use this as a reason to fight for the same grace for the seventh prince.
With the concubine's favor and the importance Yin Qu attaches to his grandson, the emperor will most likely agree.
Then the problem comes, outsiders don't know the twists and turns inside, they will only see that Concubine Min is favored, and the three heirs under her knee have all received rewards in advance.
One can imagine Yun Fenghuang's momentum!
Now that Chunjia is still young and the heirs are young, Gu Zhen already feels that it is very difficult to fight with this noble concubine. If Yun Fenghuang continues to be so famous, even if he holds the phoenix seal in his hand and has his legitimate son on the jade plate, She also felt unsure.
"Your Majesty is filial, what if the empress dowager, a loving mother, insists on having her own way?" Thinking of this, Gu Zhen frowned slightly and slowed down his tone and said, "If the concubine has a good idea, why not just go ahead and do it?"
Yun Fenghuang said: "What can I do? I just feel that the harem has been peaceful for a long time. If the empress dowager favors the virtuous concubine and causes another dispute, wouldn't it also cause trouble for your majesty? The queen has come I am a virtuous and virtuous man who is your majesty’s virtuous wife. I cannot bear to see your majesty suffer like this. But please give me some advice!”
Gu Zhen held back his anger and said: "My thoughts are all on Gu Su now, and you should know it in your heart! I agree to what you said, but I don't know exactly how to do it! Since it is You said it, don’t you think about it in your heart?”
"I'm just a concubine, how can the Queen be so considerate when considering things?" Yun Fenghuang stabbed him neither softly nor hard, and then said, "It's just that the Chunyou Palace is very quiet these days, I'm thinking, the loving mother of the Emperor The Queen Mother hasn’t left the palace these days, isn’t it a bit boring?”
I understand, she wanted to strike first and cause some trouble for Queen Mother Yuan.
Gu Zhen frowned and said, "I'm afraid His Majesty won't like us disturbing our loving mother, the Queen Mother."
If you take the initiative to target Empress Dowager Yuan, you can just repay it if you have the emperor's favor to protect you, but I don't! When the time comes, are you afraid that you will be thrown out as a scapegoat to vent your anger on His Majesty
Just as he was thinking about how to veto her proposal, he heard Yun Fenghuang say: "What do you think, the empress? Why should we bother the empress dowager? After all, the concubine Xian is still confinement in Wannian County, and the empress dowager has nothing so far. She didn't say anything or did anything. What if she didn't actually have that kind of intention, but was wronged by us, wouldn't it hurt the harmony? "
Do you still know how to be kind
No, I should say, is there any harmony between your noble concubine and the loving mother Queen Mother
Gu Zhen's mouth twitched and he said, "What do you want?"
"A few days ago, I was talking to Your Majesty about the Sixth Palace, and mentioned that Concubine An has not paid her regards to the Middle Palace for a long time." Yun Fenghuang said slowly, "That's why Your Majesty ordered Concubine An not to neglect you. No, these Concubine An, whether she likes it or not, will always come to Chongchang Palace to see us every day?"
After she said this, Gu Zhen suddenly realized that as Chunjia's childhood sweetheart, Concubine An Yuanmei had a protective aunt, the Queen Mother, so her status in the palace was naturally different.
So much so that after she became strangers to Chunjia, she lived in seclusion in Huzhu Palace and hardly came out to pay greetings to the queen. The two queens before and after them also turned a blind eye, which was regarded as acquiescence to her having such privileges.
So Concubine An suddenly appeared in Chongchang Palace two days ago. Gu Zhen was nervous for a moment, thinking that something had happened and alerted her.
But Concubine An had a cold attitude, ignored anyone's temptations, and never talked to anyone when she came and went.
So Gu Zhen was still wondering if Yuan Yuniang was too restless and felt that Huzhu Palace was too deserted and cramped, so she asked An to come out for a walk
She is self-aware and knows that she is not Chunjia's true love, so she is unwilling to completely offend the emperor's new and old loves, lest she hate Chunjia, make it difficult to get along with her in the future, and be detrimental to the Gu family.
Therefore, Gu Zhen didn't really take Concubine An's neglect seriously. After all, she was tired of Yuan Yuniang and didn't really want to see this person in front of her.
It didn't matter that Yuan Yuniang didn't come to greet her before. Anyway, Yuan Yuniang did this when the former empress Ji Lingzi was in power. Yuan Yuniang suddenly came, and Gu Zhen didn't feel that there was anything conceited or exciting. Maybe Yuan Yuniang came here twice and found it boring. Not coming
At this moment, I heard that it was Yun Fenghuang's intention, and I sighed in my heart. No matter how bad Ms. Yuan was, she was still an old man who grew up with Chunjia's childhood sweetheart. She was also held in high esteem by Chunjia back then. In the end, this The city has only been around for three or four years, and things have already changed.
Even because of Xinhuan's words, he was not even allowed to hide in Huzhu Palace and live alone.
Gu Zhen didn't know for a moment whether he should lament Yun Fenghuang's killing them all, or Chunjia's heartless luck.
She suppressed her distracting thoughts and simply said: "You want to make a fuss about Concubine An and test the loving mother-in-law?"
