Treacherous Living in the Imperial Harem

Chapter 708: A miserable life will make you stronger...?

Views:

"Your Majesty, calm down, calm down." Yun Fenghuang suppressed a smile and personally served the emperor tea and water, patted his back and squeezed his shoulders. He served very attentively, with a look of virtuous and virtuous relief, "The emperor's heirs are still young. Woolen cloth… "

"You are so small!!!" Chun Jia was angry, "When I was as old as them, I would get up before dawn every day, double my homework, and occasionally go to the garden to play, and I would not forget to give my mother The concubine brings some flowers and plants to relieve her boredom... What kind of supervision is required? They are all done by themselves! These bastards are living a much better life than I was at that time, but they are not even one-tenth of mine! !!”

Yun Fenghuang smiled in his heart and thought to himself, your biological father doesn't care about your biological mother and has no control over it. You can only make a living in the hands of your legitimate mother. How can you compare with the heirs like you now

Even if you, the biological father, are not that caring, the mother probably still put a lot of effort into raising her. Who hasn’t been pampered

It’s weird to be thinking about earning a future for yourself at such a young age like you were at that time.

Besides, as an heir to the emperor, even if you are uneducated and have no skills and achieve nothing, when you grow up, a prince will always be crowned a king, and a princess will always be crowned a princess. At most, the status and treatment will be different, but at the end of the day, it is still a superior title. If you are not so high-spirited, why don't you just do it

She persuaded hypocritically: "How else can we say that His Majesty is the wise king destined by God? If any of the emperor's heirs can compare with you when you were young, how can you show that you are destined to do so, right?"

Chunjia sneered and said: "I don't expect them to be able to work as hard as I did back then, but as my biological flesh and blood, they have a bit of my shadow at that time, so this is not too much to ask for?! What's the result? Every one of them doesn't. Learn how to fight and quarrel neatly! Especially King Qin and Zhao Qing! As my eldest son and daughter, you don’t want to set an example for your younger brothers and sisters, but instead take the lead in fighting, what will it look like!"

He felt that this could not go on. If it continued like this, could children like him still watch

Let Yun Fenghuang say, "I have been busy these past two days and have no time to go to Chongchang Palace. Tomorrow you can speak to me and the queen and think about how to teach these unfilial children to be decent?"

As far as King Qin and his gang were, Chunjia felt that he couldn't solve it by asking alone.

In order not to die early and lose the country he had worked so hard to win to his unsatisfactory descendants, he thought it was necessary to involve the entire harem and share the burden!

After hearing this, Gu Zhen had the urge to take off his phoenix crown and throw it outside the door: "How old are the emperors' heirs now? I have seen the homework assigned by your majesty, and I was thinking about whether to tell your majesty that this is too much. It’s so heavy, why isn’t Your Majesty satisfied? What else can we do? Everyone can’t be like Your Majesty.”

"Why didn't I persuade Your Majesty like this?" Yun Fenghuang twitched the corner of his mouth, "As you know, King Qin and Zhaoqing are still the eldest son and daughter. Your Majesty said it himself, the legitimate son is still in his infancy, and now the princes' heirs are headed by King Qin , but he made His Majesty very disappointed. As an adoptive mother, how could I want to see Your Majesty say such things to King Qin? It’s just that His Majesty was not satisfied after all, saying that even if he couldn’t be exactly like him when he was a child, he should at least have some demeanor. "

Gu Zhen frowned and said: "I heard that Your Majesty is talented and intelligent, and has been diligent and hardworking since childhood, which is beyond the reach of others! As for the specific details, I don't know very well... this?"

Yun Fenghuang said respectfully: "Your Majesty said that this matter is serious, so please take the trouble of the Queen!"

The concubines looked at each other for a moment, and Gu Zhen nodded slightly reluctantly: "I will go to pay my respects to the empress dowager, my loving mother, later."

Ever since he was forced to accept the Eighth Prince, coupled with Gu Su's miscarriage, Gu Zhen's hatred for Empress Dowager Yuan reached the point where she wanted to get rid of her as soon as possible.

It is also true that Queen Mother Yuan is not a fuel-efficient lamp, and the emperor is shrewd. She is not even sure about killing Queen Mother Yuan, let alone hiding it from Chunjia after killing Queen Mother Yuan.

Otherwise, Gu Zhen would really like to kill this old godly woman with his own hands!

So much so that during this period of time, the queen didn't even bother to show off to Chunwu Palace. There was no such empress dowager in Quandang Palace.

As a result, now she had to go to Chunhuang Palace in person to ask for advice... She actually wanted to call Yun Fenghuang together, but considering that the imperial concubine was not a submissive person.

Don't get into a fight with the empress dowager, the loving mother, on the spot. Anyway, Concubine Min can handle it. The key is that she can't ask such a serious matter.

But it's trouble.

After thinking about it, she could only aggrieve herself a little. The third prince under her knee was just about to enter school. Anyway, it was destined to have nothing to do with that position. Even if she was judged as "good for nothing" in front of the emperor, it would actually be a good thing. .

The key is the tenth prince and the twelfth prince. These two legitimate sons cannot make Chunjia feel disgusted and disgusted.

Can we do our homework now

"When the emperor was a child? The emperor was very obedient at that time." Empress Dowager Yuan clearly knew Gu Zhen's current attitude. After the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law met, she did not continue to greet her in a loving and affectionate manner, and only asked slowly. The queen pondered for a moment about the purpose of her visit, and then said slowly, "The late king was ill at that time, and the old concubine had a weird temper. The Ai family had never raised a child before. When I took him with me, I tried to teach him a few times, and he was very obedient. My son is learning, and he is learning very quickly, and he is getting more and more restless, always worried that he will ruin such a talented child."

"It's just that there were a lot of things going on in the palace at that time, and the Ai family couldn't spare any time to keep an eye on him, so they taught a little by themselves and asked the literate stewards around them to teach a little, and one after another... Huang'er actually learned a lot of words. , and can also do some arithmetic and articles.”

"Then the late king disappeared, and not long after, the old concubine also disappeared. As the Ai family grieved, they thought more and more that they could not delay the emperor."

"So we specially hired a teacher and a riding and archery master for him. At first, the Ai family personally supervised him, but later they found that the emperor was very smart and studious. Many times, the teacher even had to persuade him to balance work and rest, and not to work too hard... Sorry. Later, I didn’t worry so much, but listened to the teachers and helped to persuade him to relax and stop being so diligent. After all, how can a descendant of the clan need to work so hard on his studies?"

Gu Zhen listened silently and had the urge to roll up his sleeves and break her head on the spot.

She came here to ask for advice on how to teach children, not to listen to Empress Dowager Yuan show off how easy it was to meet a good child who was consciously smart!

"Actually, if the emperor is so smart, the emperor's heirs must also be extremely clever." Empress Dowager Yuan kept thinking about Chunjia when she was a child for a long time. Finally, she noticed the empress' ugly face, twitched the corner of her mouth, and returned to the topic, " The reason why you are unwilling to work hard is probably because you were used to having fun in the past, so it was hard to stop for a while. This is because you, the mothers and concubines, have indulged in this kind of behavior since you could walk and run. -Zi. How can you possibly change your child if you ask him to change it right now? You guys, after all, are still impure-minded, and you don’t see God taking your child to heart. Most of them are raised by the palace people!"

"How dare the palace masters restrain the young masters? Some even have ulterior motives and deliberately lead the young masters to play around."

"If this is the case, even if the children are still young, how can they calm down and stay in class?"

"Like the Ai family, they looked at the emperor as if they were eyeballs. If you can take him with you, how can you ever leave him for a while?"

"Later, when the emperor had more studies and got older, he moved out of the back house and lived in the front house. The Ai family would also call him to have dinner with him every morning and evening, and personally inquire about what happened during the day."

"Whenever you have such thoughts towards your children, are you still afraid that they will be disobedient and ignorant?"

Gu Zhen returned to Chongchang Hall angrily, and told the Empress Dowager Yuan's scoldings through bamboo tubes with the imperial concubines, De Fei, Mrs. Qingshu, and Xuan Zhaoyi who were waiting here. At the end, he sneered: "What else can we do? ? The loving mother, the Queen Mother, has pointed out the way for us. From now on, we should put aside all other things and raise our children in person. This is what it means to be a loving mother!"

"What does this mean about being a loving mother?" The other concubines did not dare to say anything, but Yun Fenghuang had no such scruples and said calmly, "Is it true that a high-ranking heir is better than a woman's hands all day long? Now His Majesty has personally questioned the heirs. It’s time to do your homework. We mothers are just playing drums for His Majesty. After all, Your Majesty is so handsome and mighty. When it comes to educating the emperor’s heir, who else can go beyond your majesty? Just us, let alone guarding the emperor’s heir every day. Even if I study under a famous teacher and teach the emperor’s heirs, I’m still just doing the same thing in front of His Majesty?”

This was in front of several other concubines, so he was relatively restrained.

After waiting for a while, Concubine De and others were sent away by the empress. When it came to the concubines and concubines, Yun Fenghuang said even more harshly: "The empress dowager, the loving mother, was not lucky. She lost her husband at a young age. Our majesty is still young and powerful. We are strong and guard the emperor's heir. We can entrust the palace affairs to the subordinates and let go of the fight between us. But can it be that your majesty doesn't care about it? I think the empress dowager, a loving mother, is simply old and confused. You can also say what you said! If the emperor’s heirs can be well educated by us concubines, then let us invite teachers to attend any school!"

The Queen said with a sullen face: "I have asked you again and again just now, and the loving mother Queen Mother has always said that. It is nothing more than her sincerity towards His Majesty, and His Majesty's extraordinary talent and willingness to work hard! According to me, Look, the empress dowager is just a good mother. If she really knows how to teach children, what kind of thing do you think Concubine An is?"

I felt that in the morning, the concubine wanted to ask Empress Dowager Yuan for advice, which was simply stupid.

Yun Fenghuang comforted him and said: "The power is for His Majesty's sake. After all, we mothers don't know what kind of temperament those little ancestors have? They are extremely smart, but they just don't want to use them on the right path! Really It’s a headache!”

The queen said in her heart that the third prince of this palace is actually quite well-behaved, but she just took into account that you, a sensitive concubine, are jealous. Don't let the third prince stand out and attract your attention. The children you raised cannot compete with the children under my knees. unfavorable.

This was also because the third prince had a special background, and the queen did not dare to let him stand out.

If it were any other prince, the queen would not be so suppressive.

She didn't want to tell Yun Fenghuang about this, so she just said: "Isn't it true? Your Majesty is very worried about this now. We have to teach the children to be good as soon as possible, otherwise..."

She pursed her lips and whispered, "His Majesty is busy with government affairs, so he may not always be willing to personally ask about the homework of the emperor's heirs. How old are the emperor's heirs?"

Even the ministers have not paid much attention to the schoolwork of such a young child.

The queen was very worried that Chun Jiaxing had made a fuss over his head. Once she found out that it was not as interesting as she thought, she even went out of her way to cheer him up, then...

If you have no choice, you will choose to give up.

As a diligent emperor, he had ready reasons for not wanting to do anything.

The young emperor's studies were not worthy of his time and guidance.

When the time comes, King Qin and Zhaoqing, who are under Yun Fenghuang's knees, will not miss the opportunity to show their faces in front of the emperor in the future, even if they leave an impression on the emperor that they do not like to study because of their adoptive mother's favor.

But the third prince in front of the empress, the third prince in front of Concubine De, the second prince in front of Mrs. Qingshu, and the second prince in Xuan Zhaoyi may not have this opportunity.

Especially the twins, the second prince and the third prince, Chunjia has always been a little indifferent to them. If he doesn't take advantage of the current opportunity to let them show off their faces in front of the emperor as much as possible, they may be sent away when the time comes to confer kingship and vassalage. What corner to go to.

Even after a few years, the queen would not dare.

Because from these six imperial heirs down, the fourth prince passed away, and the King of Chu would not grow up in his lifetime, but the sixth prince, seventh prince, and other imperial heirs also grew up very quickly.

Chunjia had always had a crush on the twins. When there were more royal heirs who could chat around him, would he still be able to see the brothers

It can be said that this is the only opportunity for the twins to get Chunjia's gaze.

Therefore, the queen did not dare to neglect at all, "No matter what, we have to come up with something."

"A few little bastards have been beaten, scolded, and even frightened." Yun Fenghuang sighed, "What else can I do?"

You can't tell King Qin: You are not actually my biological child. Your biological mother is the Zhao family who often makes clothes and shoes for you. You are not even the prince in my name. Your stepmother, Concubine Zhenxi Shu, fell ill early in the morning. Not to mention, you even have a great relationship with me. I am raising you not because you are cute or pitiful, but purely because of your relationship with Duke Yi and your status as the emperor’s eldest son.

If you are no longer useful in the future, I will abandon you without hesitation!

Then he told Zhaoqing: Although you are the princess in my name, because you are not my biological child, I care for you and hope you will live up to your expectations. Otherwise, I might as well raise a parrot for raising you. At any rate, you are admitted to the Royal Beast Garden. Can the parrot talk? Isn't it better to see Tian Tian's sweet words than to raise your little ancestor Tian Tian Tian's own palace

Well, judging from the fact that Chunjia felt that there was no one she could rely on, so she was frightened and then worked hard, maybe she did this. Will King Qin and Zhaoqing really change their previous attitude and work hard
