Yun Fenghuang gave instructions to Chen Jing, but he was still not at ease. The next day, he sent someone to Cui Lianye's place, hinting that Cui Lianye had contacted Princess Minghui in private.
After all, although Cui Lianye was not particularly familiar with the eldest princess in the past, she had received help from Minghui when she was ridiculed in front of Ji Sheng. In addition, as a concubine who entered the palace during the emperor's wedding, she is no different from falling out of favor now. He was just passing his time by raising the second prince. If we think about it more carefully, there were reasons to do something against Chunjia and the imperial concubine, right
Especially since the second prince, as a prince with the blood of the Ji family, was just like the third prince, he was the heir whom Chunjia turned a blind eye to. Cui Lianye, the adoptive mother, became increasingly resentful, which was completely understandable.
"My mother-in-law said that as long as she handles this matter properly, when the second prince is crowned king, my mother-in-law will not forget her contribution." The servant's attitude was very polite, but Cui Lianye understood that what he said was actually true. It can also be understood the other way around.
If she doesn't do it properly, don't blame the imperial concubine for intervening in the future when the second prince is crowned king, making it hard for both the second prince and her.
Cui Lianye carefully expressed his embarrassment: "But because of the second prince's matter, I have repeatedly troubled the empress. Now everyone inside and outside regards me as the empress's person. This...?"
Even if the eldest princess Minghui is not so smart, it is impossible for her to trust a concubine who has been classified as a noble concubine
"That's why my mother-in-law said that after all the calculations in the palace, only Madam can do this." The chamberlain smiled kindly, "No one else is as quick-thinking as me."
The implication is that it is not an embarrassing matter. These slaves in our family have already taken care of it for my mother-in-law, why do we need to give you a chance
Cui Lianye had no choice but to bite the bullet and agree, wondering what to do
Yun Fenghuang turned around and put this matter aside, worrying about another trouble: King Qin's two companions had been settled before, and although classes had not yet started, the two children had also moved to the palace to live with King Qin. Together, we started to get along well in advance; King Qin was like this, and Zhaoqing's treatment was of course average.
The two companions on Zhaoqing's side are Xie's daughter, Xie Mei's half-sister, Xie Meng's cousin, and Xie Ao, the daughter of Xie Xiye, the tenth son of the eldest son; the other is Ouyang's daughter. His legitimate daughter Ouyang Changsheng.
Xie Ao was selected from the four girls recommended by the Jiang family. Yun Fenghuang fell in love with her. Apart from the fact that the little girl was well-behaved, obedient and able to get along with the domineering Zhaoqing, the main reason was that Her biological mother died of illness when she was two years old, and she grew up with her aunt.
It would not happen that after becoming the princess's companion, the aunt became so proud that she caused a fire in Xie Xiye's backyard.
... Although Jiang has repeatedly promised that this kind of situation will never happen to her subordinates, after seeing the performance of the Xie family's children in the past two years, Yun Fenghuang really doesn't trust the Xie family's family style.
The children trained by the Xie family are so vulnerable to wealth, let alone the aunt bought from outside
If you have a relationship with Zhao Qing and use it to support your aunt or something, it's better to cut off this trouble from the beginning.
After Xie Ao moved to the palace, he was indeed well-behaved and considerate, and within two days he got along well with Zhao Qing.
But Zhaoqing was coaxed so well that Zhaoqing was too lazy to pay attention to his other reading companion Ouyang Changsheng. He even wanted to drive Ouyang Changsheng away and find someone like Xie Ao to accompany him...
When Yun Fenghuang heard his daughter talk about this plan, his expression was a little stiff, and he smiled and said: "What nonsense are you talking about? What's wrong with being immortal? If you read a lot, you will grow up well, and I will be respectful to you... You can't be dissatisfied just because she doesn't serve you like a palace maid? She's not a palace maid in the first place. She's just here to study with you."
Zhaoqing pouted and pulled her sleeves to act coquettishly: "Er Chen doesn't like her anyway! She is still as good as Ao'er. Talking to her makes Er Chen feel happy. Unlike this Chang Sheng, who is so arrogant? Isn't that right? Concubine Shu's niece! Concubine, you are still a noble concubine, why should she look down on her son!?"
"Where did you hear this nonsense? How could Changsheng look down on you?" Yun Fenghuang's mouth twitched and he felt a headache.
She had actually heard this matter from the palace officials early in the morning: Zhaoqing had been consulted for his opinion before the two companions were settled. At that time, Zhaoqing was quite satisfied with the two girls who were respectful.
The problem arose not two days after the two girls moved into the palace.
In order to please Zhao Qing, Xie Ao took the initiative to take her homework and ask for advice. When Zhao Qing gave her guidance, she pronounced a word wrong.
Then he was corrected by Ouyang Changsheng who followed him.
Originally, this was nothing, at least in Yun Fenghuang's eyes, but Zhao Qing didn't think so!
As mentioned before, Zhaoqing is Chunjia's favorite child, even the King of Qin cannot compare with him.
In addition, her qualifications are indeed good. When Yun Fenghuang was cooking for the two children in the Xuanqing Palace earlier, Zhaoqing had the upper hand over King Qin.
Later, when I went to the side hall of Taichu Palace and Chunjia personally took care of the homework, many younger siblings were taught by their adoptive mother not to compete with their brothers and sisters. Therefore, Zhaoqing's homework... was always among the best.
Only King Qin dared to compete with her seriously.
This is why Zhaoqing has always regarded King Qin as his main opponent.
Although the palace servants who served these two young ancestors did not dare to step on each other openly, they flattered their master in private.
For example, Zhaoqing is used to hearing people praise her for being "extremely smart", "having the same demeanor as your majesty" and "there is no one smarter and more beautiful than our princess in the world"... Such words are not considered to make people happy. It's too much. The key is that Zhao Qing wrote it all down and listened to it!
Now that her mistake was suddenly corrected, she suddenly couldn't bear it.
After Yun Fenghuang found out, he coaxed her and said that Ouyang Changsheng might know how to pronounce that character, but Ouyang Changsheng might not know other characters that Zhaoqing knew. So Zhaoqing is still the smartest little girl in the world!
But Zhaoqing doesn't accept this trick. She feels that as the smartest little girl in the world, she should know the words that Ouyang Changsheng knows, and she should also know the words that Ouyang Changsheng doesn't know!
Yun Fenghuang then changed his excuse and said that maybe there was a reason why Ouyang Changsheng knew that word. For example, there was a peer in Ouyang's family who happened to be named that. She was just lucky. She was not literate and seemed to be young. Among girls, we are the most literate after all, right
Then Yun Fenghuang specially arranged for Concubine Shu to come and testify that there really was such a person in the Ouyang family.
Yun Fenghuang also specially wrote Zhaoqing's maiden name and asked Ouyang Changsheng and Xie Ao to come and recognize it. Although the word "秾" was not particularly uncommon, the two six-year-old girls still didn't recognize it. She thinks that by doing this, Zhaoqing should feel that he has regained some ground, right
But Zhaoqing didn't.
She started to get angry: "Since Ouyang Changsheng didn't learn that word when he entered school, but relied on someone in the family to call him that name, what qualifications does she have to correct his son in public?! He saw that she did it on purpose! She did it on purpose! Let me be embarrassed!"
Yun Fenghuang: "???"
Little girl, your companion is only a six-year-old girl, but she is still the legitimate daughter who was raised by the family. I bet with the eyes of a senior palace fighter on your mother-in-law: She probably can’t expect so much about longevity
... If Ouyang Changsheng could think so much, he probably wouldn't correct the princess.
The problem is that Zhaoqing won't listen or listen. Anyway, she just wants to drive Ouyang Changsheng away.
Yun Fenghuang actually saw it. At first Zhaoqing was angry because of jealousy and shame, but now he just couldn't bear it. He felt that Ouyang Changsheng had embarrassed him and he didn't want to see her.
But before the candidate is decided, it will be changed.
Now that everyone has lived in the palace for a few days, how can it be so simple to change
If Ouyang Changsheng is sent back now, the outside world may suspect that there is something wrong with the girl, so she will be returned by the royal family.
Yun Fenghuang chose her purely to further develop relations with the Ouyang family. Wouldn't this become a feud
Of course, there is another reason why Yun Fenghuang refuses to agree: Zhaoqing is five years old this year and will go to school soon. When he was a child, he could be said to be cute even though he was messy and messy. If this continues from now on, Yun Fenghuang doesn't know if others can stand it, but she herself can't stand it.
It’s not like she was raising these unrelated heirs just to be good people and good deeds.
So far, it has not been put to any serious use. If you don't give her some rules and don't cause trouble for her in the future, won't you lose your wife and lose your troops
Yun Fenghuang would not do such a thing.
So this time I made up my mind not to listen to Zhao Qing, and just hugged my daughter and coaxed her gently: "Besides, Changsheng was driven back just after entering the palace. Then everyone will say that this is not good for her and that is not good, you say Pity or not?"
"What's so pitiful about her?" Princess Zhaoqing heard this and said disapprovingly, "She was driven back because she did something bad. Besides, doesn't she still have her parents, brothers and sisters-in-law? Don't these people also help her? , if you don’t help her, then her fate is bad, what does it have to do with Erchen? Erchen doesn’t want to pity her anyway!"
… This is really my daughter.
This is how I bullied Chao Jingyou back then...
Yun Fenghuang was in a trance for a moment, composed himself, and sighed: "But this is also very difficult for the mother-in-law. The mother-in-law specially selected the immortal for you, and she will be replaced in two days. If your father knows about it, can you still do it?" Don’t you doubt that my mother-in-law didn’t care enough to choose a good one for you? What will you do if your father doesn’t like your mother-in-law?”
"This..." Zhaoqing hesitated after hearing this.
This makes Yun Fenghuang feel that she still has some conscience. She has never known that her adopted mother is not her biological mother since she was born. She is about to enter school. If she still doesn't know how to feel sorry for her mother and concubine, then she has to consider raising her eyes to the point of giving up. The possibility of wolf...
"You know, your father loves you the most." Yun Fenghuang took advantage of the victory and said softly, "He said early in the morning that he must choose the most satisfactory companion for you. As a result If you don't like the concubine just a few days after she was chosen, your father will definitely blame the concubine and even punish the concubine severely... Oh, of course, it doesn't matter even if the concubine is punished, she will definitely treat her as ours. It depends on what Mo'er thinks. Since Mo'er really doesn't like that immortality, then... "
"Actually, Changsheng is not that annoying!" Zhao Qing believed it to be true. She had to say that because she was used to the harmony between Chunjia and Yun Fenghuang, she did not have an intuitive understanding of the power and status of her father. For a long time, I knew that although my mother and concubine had a high status, they still had to listen to their father.
Hearing this, he quickly said, "Although Erchen thinks she is not as good as Ao'er, but...but...but Erchen is magnanimous and won't argue with her!"
Yun Fenghuang lowered his head, held her petal-like face, and said softly: "My son, there is no need to force it. You are my dearest and dearest son, and I cannot wrong you even if I am wronged by you! I don't like her so much. After much thought, my mother-in-law thought that I still couldn't keep her in the palace. Otherwise, my son would not be happy to see her when he saw the sky. How would he live this life?"
"Mother and concubine, don't worry, I will not force you." Zhaoqing said quickly, "Er Chen is a princess! It's okay for Er Chen to wrong her! In fact, I just talked about it casually before. Besides, Mother and Concubine are all I have told you, she will be very pitiful if she is driven back! Erchen thinks that for the sake of Concubine Shu, give her another chance!"
Thinking that Ouyang Changsheng had just entered the palace, he felt unhappy. He immediately had no confidence in this companion, and added hurriedly, "Didn't my father say that? You have to be broad-minded. Although Changsheng is not as good as Ao'er, I will not follow him." She’s so knowledgeable!”
So next time this companion makes a mistake, he should have a reason to excuse himself
Princess Zhaoqing secretly felt that she was really witty, she was tired of Yun Fenghuang's coquettishness, "How about you, concubine? Mother concubine loves her son the most, so just obey him?"
"My son is really my mother's little sweetheart!" Yun Fenghuang was satisfied. He picked her up and kissed her again and again, "Mother and Concubine likes Minger the most!"
"Really?" Zhaoqing looked at her distrustfully and muttered, "I heard that my mother-in-law told my eldest brother before!"
So who is your real sweetheart between me and eldest brother
Yun Fenghuang pretended not to hear, hugged her and continued to coax: "Does Men'er also like the mother-in-law the most?"
"Ah... um... uh..." Zhaoqing wanted to say that she actually liked her father very much. After all, she was different from other royal heirs. The number of times she saw Chunjia was about the same as that of ordinary fathers and daughters. Her feelings for her parents Of course it's the same.
Because of this, he felt guilty and was too embarrassed to care whether Yun Fenghuang loved the King of Qin or himself more. He vaguely went over and glanced at his mother and concubine. Seeing that Yun Fenghuang didn't seem to notice his hesitation, he couldn't help but secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
After the princess left, Qingcai, who had been holding back his laughter, laughed out loud and teased Yun Fenghuang: "It's true, Your Highness is so young, yet you bully her like this."
"Why is she being bullied?" Yun Fenghuang said disapprovingly, "My son is as beautiful as a flower and a royal princess. I don't know how many bastards want to coax her when she grows up. I will give her some practice in advance now. Get up and avoid being deceived by others in the future!"
Qing Ren and other attendants all covered their mouths and snickered: "Yes, yes, your Majesty must be doing it for your Highness's good."
Poor His Highness, he has been deceived since childhood. God knows when will he come back to his senses
Zhu E couldn't help but worry: "If His Highness reacts one day, will he be angry?"
"Don't talk nonsense." Yun Fenghuang rolled his eyes at her, "You're such a good boy, why would you be angry with me?"
Zhu E wanted to say something else, but was pulled by his companions and shut up immediately.
After a while, he realized: Chunjia had been deceived by her mother-in-law before, but later she didn't react and couldn't get angry.
Princess Zhaoqing is not as smart as Chunjia, so why does Yun Fenghuang need to worry that her daughter will get upset and fall out with him later
Looking at the little princess playing happily in the courtyard, Zhu E's eyes were filled with sympathy. Then he thought about the fact that such an adopted mother was his master, uh... forget it, let's pretend he doesn't know anything.
... Princess Zhaoqing didn't know that she was feeling sorry for her by her mother's attendant, but she kept what Yun Fenghuang said in her heart.
