Treacherous Living in the Imperial Harem

Chapter 718: Children's affairs

Views:

When Yun Fenghuang heard this, he wondered if Chun Jia had a candidate, and said: "In the past two days, I asked my mother to look for some people in the clan. After all, I come from a humble background, and I don't know much about my descendants. I only have my own blood relatives. Nephews and nieces, they know best what kind of temperament they have. They have grown up in front of their elders since they were young. They will not find out something is wrong after they are selected. Of course, according to the rules, both children can choose two companions, concubine. My plan is to have a child of the Xie family as a playmate. In addition, I will choose an outstanding junior from a high-ranking family and compete with them to prove their studies, lest the children are young and do not know how high the sky is and think they are inferior to their brothers and sisters. It’s amazing that I am one hundred thousand points away.”

In fact, even if an outstanding junior from a high-ranking family came to serve as a companion, he would definitely not dare to suppress the emperor's heirs.

But Yun Fenghuang's words meant that all the accompanying readers would not be occupied by the Xie family's children.

After hearing this, Chunjia nodded slightly and said, "Let the King of Qin's companion be chosen from Yunxi Ke's nephews."

"Husband-in-law?" Yun Fenghuang rolled his eyes and said, "Your Majesty, would it be okay for Duke Yi to do this?"

"I have already discussed this matter with Duke Yi, and he also means the same thing." Chunjia said lightly, "You don't have to think too much."

He believed that Yun Qingman was plotting to kill King Zhaoqing of Qin, and Yun Qingman was raised by Duke Yi Guo's wife. There was Xiao Han in front of him and Yun Qingman in the back. Although it was not the direct fault of Duke Yi Guo's wife, in In the eyes of the emperor, this important minister's wife was really disgusting.

Therefore, just in case, he did not want anyone close to Duke Yi Guo to influence his eldest son and daughter again.

Therefore, I communicated with Duke Yi in advance that I would rather choose a royal companion from Yunxike's lineage than a descendant from Duke Yi's lineage.

Of course, this also had another purpose, that is, the emperor also felt that Yun Fenghuang would not be indifferent to the East Palace.

Yun Fenghuang showed a slightly relieved expression, implying that she did not want the nephews of Duke Yi to accompany the King of Qin. The imperial concubine tacitly dismissed the topic and talked about the upcoming summer vacation: "We are very happy this year. The Queen Mother and her phoenix body can go together, but Concubine Wan and Concubine Jing are still in confinement, but they have to stay."

Chunjia's feelings for the second concubine were only average, so she was not very worried. She said casually: "There are many people in the palace waiting for them. I hope their mother can come to the palace to visit in ten days. I think nothing will happen."

He wasn't particularly concerned about his children in the first place, but now that he has more children, he doesn't care even more.

Except for the princes and princesses of Aiwujiwu, he didn't even have names for the others, and even if they did, he might not remember them.

So at the moment, I didn’t think about Concubine Wan and Concubine Jing. Instead, she told Yun Fenghuang about the King of Chu: "The queen said that he is very worried about going to school now, which is quite unbearable. I thought that if he could guarantee that he would be here There is no noise or commotion in the school, and there is no harm in allowing him to be with his brothers and sisters. After all, they are all my flesh and blood, and this child is also pitiful."

After all, he was the first legitimate son, and Chunjia had sincerely expected the King of Chu.

As a result, something went wrong with the good child, and the emperor felt somewhat guilty.

Gu Zhen cried to him several times, and he was also a little shaken.

I was just worried that King Chu would be uncomfortable after entering school, so I couldn't help but want to discuss it with the imperial concubine.

"Your Majesty is right." Yun Fenghuang thought about it. If she wanted to say who she had the least hostility towards the queen's heirs, it must be the King of Chu.

Even if this prince is said to be domineering and jealous, as long as he cannot sit in that seat, he is worthy of tolerance, right

Besides, now that he agreed with this matter and could further describe his tolerance and compassion, he sighed softly, "When I mention this child, I think of King Qin and Zhaoqing... If there is anything that cannot be done to us adults, we have to go through it." children?"

Chunjia also sighed after hearing these words, put his arms around her and said, "Zhaoqing will get better. She is still young and has a long time to come."

It took Princess Zhaoqing half a month after arriving at the palace to realize that she was not going to recover.

Although she had been lying on the bed before, the imperial doctor, the imperial concubine, and the people who served her all told her that her condition was temporary and she would only be injured for a hundred days. After that, she would be able to run and jump again. .

This princess has been loved and favored for as long as she can remember. She has a very indulgent temperament and is very courageous. She didn't take it to heart at all when she heard this. She valued her studies and competition for favor more than her own body and bones, but she cared too much. Therefore, when many people were wiping her tears behind her back, she was still happy, seeing that Chun Jia and Yun Feng Huang were not allowed to love King Qin more.

Now she is counting the days until she can land on the ground. After taking only two steps, she felt something was wrong. Only then did she become serious: "Didn't you say I'm cured? Why can't I still walk?"

"It's only been a few months." Zuo Zuo said, holding back tears, "His Highness suffered a serious fall. Although he is able to land now, the diagnosis and treatment must continue. Your Highness, please rest assured, you will be fine."

Zhaoqing was young but could not be fooled. Hearing these words, he became suspicious and limped to see Yun Fenghuang: "Mother and concubine, when will my leg get better? I heard my father say, wait a minute." We will go hunting in a few days, and I still want to come with you."

Yun Fenghuang stared at her delicate face, feeling quite sad in his heart, and said softly: "You just want to accompany your father, and you don't even think about your mother and concubine!"

"How could it be?" When Zhaoqing heard this, he quickly pulled her sleeves and said coquettishly, "My son and my concubine are the best. How could I not miss my mother and my concubine? I think of my mother and concubine all the time!"

This is really my daughter. Her ability to win favors by herself without any teacher is just like her own when she was a child.

Yun Fenghuang touched her cheek with emotion and said angrily: "Didn't you say it nicely? Look at you, you finally landed. It's not all over yet. I just want to accompany your father." Why don't you ask your mother and concubine if she is going to go hunting? If she doesn't go, wouldn't you just go with your father and leave your mother and concubine in the palace?"

"I don't mean this. I know that my father loves my mother and concubine the most. If my father goes hunting, how could he not take my mother and concubine with him?" Zhaoqing said quickly, "I am also afraid that my father will do that. I am busy with affairs and cannot take care of my mother and concubine. If my son and ministers are gone, I can better serve my mother and concubine!"

"My mother doesn't believe you." Yun Fenghuang snorted, "You will say nice words in front of your mother to coax her. When your father comes, you may throw her into the corner. . Besides, your father wants to take my mother and concubine on a hunting trip. If your mother and concubine is too delicate for me to bear, and I come back to the palace, will you stay in the hunting ground with your father, or will you come back to the palace to accompany your mother and concubine?"

The princess was alert and instinctively felt that this was a proposition. She opened her mouth, rolled her eyes, and suddenly changed the subject. She opened her arms pitifully: "My dear concubine, my son's leg hurts."

"My son, who asked you to stand here for such a long time?" Yun Fenghuang knew that she was pretending, but the original purpose was to change the subject and prevent Zhao Qing from asking further questions. At this moment, he cooperated and leaned over to hug Zhao Qing. He stood up and said distressedly, "You have just landed now. You are not fully recovered yet. How can you stand here for a long time? You have to be more careful in the future, you know?"

Without waiting for Zhaoqing to speak, he said to her, "I'm still thinking about hunting. I'll just stay in the palace with my mother and concubine. If you want something, talk to your father. Your father loves you so much, and I'll never do it again." Not allowed."

Zhaoqing immediately forgot about the pain in his legs and the hunting, and quickly asked: "Where do you want the lynx..."

"Lynxes are not good, and cats are not good either. You might as well get one...well, just get a parrot." Yun Fenghuang refused without even thinking about it. Not to mention the incident with the Three Corpse Insects, everyone in the palace had a different attitude toward Civet cats, as well as all kinds of pets related to civet cats, are very taboo. Let’s just say that Zhaoqing is not able to walk well on this road. If a lynx or a civet cat is naughty, whether it is to pounce on her or trip her. , something might happen again.

He said, "How about raising colorful ones that can talk?"

However, Zhaoqing was not interested in parrots, so he tugged at her sleeve and said, "But I like lynxes!"

Yun Fenghuang coaxed her patiently for a long time, but seeing that she still refused to change her mind, he sighed: "Then go back and ask your father. If your father doesn't allow it, there's nothing you can do about it."

Chunjia's biological daughter should be coaxed by Chunjia herself, right

If the emperor allowed her to raise lynx... that would be impossible, and Chunjia would definitely disagree.

Sure enough, when Chunjia came over that evening, Zhaoqing staggered forward and acted coquettishly. Seeing the unsteady steps of her usually lively eldest daughter, Chunjia had a gentle smile on her face, but her eyes were full of heartache. , picked up his daughter himself, walked quickly to sit on the bed, and then asked with a smile: "What do you want a lynx for? Isn't the parrot recommended by your mother-in-law also quite cute?"

"What's so good about parrots?" Zhaoqing curled his lips and said, "I'm tired of chirping, but lynxes are cute. If my father doesn't allow lynxes to be raised, it's okay to raise civet cats. But the child is determined not to want birds. .”

"But this is not good." Chunjia glanced at Yun Fenghuang and said without changing his expression, "As a father, I am willing to agree with you, but you have to think about your mother and concubine."

Yun Fenghuang was stunned, and Zhao Qing was also quite surprised: "What's wrong with the concubine?"

"Your concubines are timid. You are afraid of lynxes, civet cats, hounds, and..." Chunjia said in one breath all the things she did not want her daughter to raise, and finally said, "She is not very afraid of parrots, but that You must also be docile. If you were the violent one who would peck people, your mother-in-law and concubine would definitely hide far away and not dare to look at you. We, Zhaoqing, are so filial, and we must be reluctant to let your mother-in-law and concubine see the sky. Everyone in the palace is trembling with fear, right?"

Zhaoqing was indeed a filial and good boy. Although he was very disappointed when he heard this, he immediately said: "That's it... I don't want it anymore."

Yun Fenghuang looked at Chunjia expressionlessly.

What a mistake. Why didn't I think of this excuse

Now you just sit back and watch this foolish king come to smear me? ?

Chunjia suppressed her laughter and continued to tease her daughter: "Mo'er is so good. As a father, I know that Mo'er is the most considerate. Just don't talk about this matter. After all, your mother-in-law is a noble concubine, and she also wants to save face."

Seeing Zhaoqing nodding seriously and promising not to spread his milky voice, the emperor couldn't hold back his joy.

After a while, Zhaoqing was thinking about King Qin and wanted to go play with his eldest brother. Chunjia carried him out of the door and asked the palace maid to help him leave. The emperor turned around and saw the concubine's sneer: "It's really difficult for your majesty. Yes, I have kept all kinds of secrets for me for many years, and I have not let the truth out that I am as timid as a mouse!"

"Otherwise, Zhaoqing will definitely make trouble, are you willing to do it?" Chunjia felt a little guilty, but thinking of his daughter, he became confident again and said, "If you are willing to do so, will you still push this matter to me?"

Don't think that I can't see that you can't solve it yourself, so you just bring your problems to me.

Yun Fenghuang laughed and said: "Can you blame me for not caring about you? Isn't it because the princess is close to your majesty? The princess came flying over just now. The first thing she asked was if she could go hunting with you. She never thought of following me. Do something with yourself!”

"Isn't this the same?" Chunjia was very satisfied when he heard it, and said, "If I go hunting, why don't I take you with me? In the final analysis, the child just wants to be with us."

Yun Fenghuang half-smiled but said, "But I asked her, if I don't go hunting, will she follow your majesty, or stay with me in the palace? What do you think the child will say?"

Chunjia became curious: "What did Zhaoqing say?"

He said confidently, "Look at the unhappy look on your face, Ahuang. Maybe 80% of the children still want to follow me? Haha!"

"Your Majesty has a good idea, but Zhaoqing said that he will stay in the palace with me." Yun Fenghuang originally wanted to seduce him and not tell the answer, but when he saw this, he said decisively, "Otherwise, why did Zhaoqing look at me just now? Immediately pounce on His Majesty when he arrives? Aren’t you feeling guilty!"

Chunjia didn't believe it: "I will ask Zhaoqing personally later!"

Yun Fenghuang said: "She is willing to follow me in her heart, so naturally she has to say something nice to deal with His Majesty. Otherwise, wouldn't it hurt His Majesty's heart too much? We Zhaoqing are very sensible, how could we do such a thing? ?”

The more she said this, the more suspicious Chunjia became, and muttered: "If such a big child can say something nice, I am also happy to be perfunctory."

While they were bickering, someone from the palace came in a hurry, saying that the empress had invited the two emperors and concubines to come over, saying that something happened in the palace.

Yun Fenghuang was very surprised when he heard this and said, "Why is it so important?"

The emperor also frowned slightly.

The palace man shook his head and said, "I don't know, my servant. The Queen's people only said that Your Majesty and the Imperial Concubine should come over as soon as possible."

Gu Zhen is not the kind of person who is ignorant. Since he gave such an order, he must have something important to do.

The imperial concubine then tidied up her appearance and went to Woxia Tower.

As soon as I entered, I saw Concubine Shu kneeling on the ground, with tears streaming down her face and her hair disheveled, looking very embarrassed.

The queen above had a sullen face, with the word "irritable" written from head to toe.

"What's going on?" Chunjia glanced at her, sat down a few meters away from the queen, and asked slowly.

The queen waved her hand to make the saluting Yun Fenghuang stand up, then pointed to the seat not far away, and then turned her head and said: "Just now, the second princess choked on her meal because of Concubine Shu's excessive urging! Fortunately, the imperial doctor arrived. In time, otherwise the consequences will be disastrous! This is the second time that Concubine Shu failed to take good care of the emperor's heir. I don't dare to be independent, so I invited your majesty and the concubine to come together to discuss how to deal with it!"
