Thinking of this, Chunjia couldn't help but feel a little bored.
This boredom is of course directed at the loving mother, the Queen Mother.
After all, the most difficult thing for him to deal with was the conflict between Queen Mother Yuan and Yun Fenghuang.
The two had had fights several times before, and each time they left him mentally and physically exhausted.
After finally calming down for the past two years, Chunjia believes that both the Queen Mother Yuan and Yun Fenghuang should know better. There is no reasonable reason why they should not make troubles over trivial matters anymore.
Because this is not making trouble with the other party, but torturing the emperor.
When he persuaded the Queen Mother to settle the matter with Yun Fenghuang, the reason was that doing so was embarrassing himself... The implication was that if either party continued to cause trouble, it was because they didn't take him to heart.
Both the Queen Mother and Yun Fenghuang relied on his attention to live their lives. No matter what they thought in their hearts or whether they were willing to do so, they had to show the attitude of attaching the most importance to the emperor and would rather feel wronged than to feel sorry for the emperor.
Now, the emperor knew that the Empress Dowager Yuan wanted to get better treatment for the Eighth Prince, and was really worried that King Chu had injured the Eighth Prince, either lightly or seriously, so she acted accordingly. It had nothing to do with Yun Fenghuang from the beginning to the end. , after hearing this rumor, how could one not suspect that Queen Mother Yuan was in a state of agitation and wanted to stir up trouble again
Coupled with this year's Holy Birthday Festival, Chunjia couldn't help but become suspicious. She felt that Queen Mother Yuan had not allowed a banquet for many years, but suddenly it was allowed this year. Could it be that she wanted to regain her momentum and interfere with the former harem? Moreover, he recalled many past events with her at the banquet. To some extent, he might have been misunderstood by the Queen Mother. Do you think he still supports her
So on the way back, this came without temptation.
Just to test how much the emperor's indulgence towards him is
"..." Chunjia thought quickly, comforted Yun Fenghuang a few words, promised that he would handle the matter properly, and then persuaded her to leave. As soon as the imperial concubine left, he asked Yanyin, "Xingning. How is your uncle doing lately?"
Yan Yin said some things. The Yuan family has been generally good in the past two years.
There is nothing that can be done about it. The most important Queen Mother is faintly inferior to Yun Fenghuang, the beloved concubine. The three Yuan daughters who entered the palace in succession, Concubine An fell out of favor, Concubine Yuan Xian died, and Concubine Yuan Yuan died earlier and lost her weight... This kind of If the situation were different, even a fool would know that he would not be able to shake himself.
They are now keeping to themselves. Apart from showing off their status as royal relatives to people with no background, they dare not provoke any officials or nobles who have some real power.
Even every time they went to the palace to visit the eighth prince, the female family members dressed in a particularly low-key manner.
Chunjia listened and said calmly: "Look for the common people who have been bullied by them and ask them what happened."
Yan Yin's complexion changed slightly when he heard this, and he immediately lowered his head and said yes.
Then the emperor glanced at the copper leak in the chariot and said: "Something happened to the King of Chu. The queen was extremely sad, and my heart was heavy... Well, let's put the dinner at the queen's side today, and I will go and accompany the queen. Also look at the King of Chu.”
Not only this time, until returning to the palace, Chunjia basically rested at the queen's place, and took time to talk to the King of Chu every day.
This move shocked the previous dynasties and the harem, because the queen's disfavor and King Chu's fall from favor were both open secrets. However, they did not expect that something happened to King Chu that would arouse such concern from the emperor.
It can be seen that this deposed prince still holds great weight in the emperor's mind.
"After all, he is the first legitimate son. Your Majesty and the Queen both sincerely worked hard to raise and teach you." Everyone couldn't help but feel, "Afterwards, he was abolished or abolished, but it's not because His Highness the King of Chu didn't learn well, or because he was unlucky. Good, but as a prince, how could he be unlucky? In the final analysis, he must have been killed... The Queen has been very distressed in the past two years, how can His Majesty not have pity?"
This kind of treatment has already matched the time when Zhao Qing broke his leg for the second time, so everyone took it seriously.
There were also some people who either couldn't see it or had ulterior motives. They came to Yun Fenghuang in private and suggested that she should call the emperor away from the queen... But Yun Fenghuang directly claimed that he was sick and didn't see anyone at all.
"Concubine, you are sick. Why don't you ask the emperor to come over?" Outsiders wondered how the concubine, who had always been flamboyant and domineering, could be afraid of the queen. They also wondered whether Chunjia was really interested in the queen and her son this time. Even the imperial concubine didn't dare to disturb her, but no one dared to ask Yun Fenghuang directly.
Of course King Qin and Zhaoqing were brave enough. Now the two children were tired of mumbling in her arms, "Father, I haven't come to see you for a long time, and I haven't even seen Erchen and Zhaoqing... Even Erchen went to see his father. The emperor, the emperor just asked his son to spend more time with his fifth brother."
King Qin said unhappily, "I don't want to accompany my fifth brother. He bullies Zhaoqing and I don't like him!"
Yun Fenghuang smiled, reached out to touch his little face, and said softly: "Your fifth brother was really bad before, and my mother and concubine didn't like him! But now, he has really suffered. From now on, I have to be carried by others when I go in and out, and I can no longer run around... Do you think it's pitiful?"
Because King Qin and Zhao Qing were young, they actually didn't have a clear opinion yet, and they couldn't understand the pain of being unable to do well from now on.
The two children are smart, so their choice is to carefully observe the face of the mother and concubine, and then decide whether to express pity or not...
Yun Fenghuang stared at them with a smile.
The brother and sister looked at each other, and Zhaoqing secretly pinched King Qin.
If this had happened before, King Qin would definitely jump up and argue with her, refusing to give in an inch.
But after Zhaoqing broke his leg, everyone inside and outside persuaded King Qin to give way to Zhaoqing, including Chunjia. He also found that when he did so, his father, emperor, mother and concubines would praise him for being sensible and considerate. I'm used to the eldest brother's appearance.
At this moment, he glared at Zhao Qing angrily, but didn't say anything. He only tried angrily: "Hmm... The fifth brother is indeed... um... a bit pitiful?"
"It's very pitiful!" Yun Fenghuang sighed and said, "So if you have time in the future, you should feel sorry for this brother."
Anyway, a stupid and crippled prince, if you treat him well, you won't be a troublemaker, and you can give the two children a reputation of kindness and friendliness in front of Chunjia and the foreign ministers.
King Qin and Zhaoqing reluctantly agreed.
After all, they are brothers who have met rarely and have had conflicts. The two of them are still a little curious about the seventh prince and the ninth prince who are also under Yun Fenghuang's knees. They have the concept of "we are together". If they change the emperor's heir in front of other concubines, even if they are Half-brothers and sisters, but they are still strangers.
Not very willingly.
Yun Fenghuang didn't care either. He didn't want them to truly love each other with the King of Chu, right
Just be obedient and be willing to pretend.
So the next day, King Qin and Zhao Qing, who had been repeatedly reminded by her, went to the Queen together. They also brought some small things that children of this age like, saying they were visiting King Chu.
Since the King of Chu was rescued, although people from everywhere came to inquire, and even the Queen Mother and the two Queen Mothers sent things and said words of comfort, the emperor's heirs did not come.
This is because we are still on the way, and with the example of the King of Chu, other concubines are afraid of having their children come and go and encounter similar misfortunes. Furthermore, the reputation of the King of Chu is not very good, and he often bullies other emperors. They are afraid that Children will suffer when they are in his presence.
Therefore, King Qin and Zhaoqing were the first couple of royal heirs to visit King Chu.
Zhaoqing was particularly smart and had a good memory. Although she didn't quite understand the words of friendship and harmony that Yun Fenghuang taught them, and she didn't take it seriously for the part she did understand, she still repeated them in a sweet voice.
The eldest princess, who has inherited the beauty of her biological father and mother, is the most beautiful heir. Her big eyes like grapes flashed when she recited it seriously. Even if she knew that a child of this age could speak such organized words, she must have been taught. The people couldn't help but be moved.
After the couple of royal heirs left after visiting King Chu, the queen's attendants couldn't help but say: "Although the imperial concubine is not a good person, she still takes care of everyone. The empress dowager, a loving mother, is nominally the grandmother of the royal heirs. After all, if there is no blood connection, there is no blood connection. Who is the grandmother who is willing to harm her direct grandson like this?"
"..." Gu Zhen looked silently at the two brothers and sisters who were surrounded and disappeared from the team. After a moment, he slowly said, "The imperial concubine used to do things with strong words and unreasonable behavior. Except that His Majesty was partial and deliberately said that she was virtuous, when did she Have you done anything virtuous? Think about it, when the fourth prince was gone, Yun Jieyu was still her sister in name. Did she ever let the two emperors go to Tongxia Palace to show off? The second prince and the princess were in danger one after another, and she Have you ever cared about it? This time something happened to the King of Chu, but she immediately sent the two children here and taught them many nice words. What do you think she wants to do?"
The attendants were startled and did not dare to say anything.
Thinking from the perspective of the middle palace, this is exactly what I want to do: I want to be the queen!
That's why I changed my temper and started to be a good person in advance.
She even taught her children to be very well-behaved and sweet, to prove that she was not only virtuous, but also capable of teaching the emperor's children, making them worthy of the position of queen!
... So the group returned to the palace and heard that the third prince decided to become a vegetarian for one year for the sake of King Chu and Zhaoqing, and copied some scriptures to pray for blessings.
"Isn't this a loving mother who has always been a loving mother? Has she changed her mind now?" Yun Fenghuang raised his eyebrows when he heard this and sneered, "Isn't it enough to just copy scriptures and become a vegetarian? It's the time when the third prince is growing up. , will be enrolling in school soon. If nothing else is said, he will only eat vegetarian food during the riding and shooting course. Can he stand it?"
Since the poor in literature and rich in martial arts, it means that the cost of practicing martial arts is high.
If you want to make a career out of martial arts, you must first have a good background. If a poor family wants to get ahead, they can only study.
According to Yun Fenghuang's idea, even if he wanted the third prince to gain the reputation of being a friendly brother and sister, the other condition was that why should he be a vegetarian
"Empress, the Third Prince will not move his meals outside for others to watch." Chen Jing said softly, "The Empress told him so and let him continue to eat meat in private. Even if the outside world knows, who can take advantage of it? What? Even if you occasionally eat two vegetarian meals at banquets, it doesn’t matter.”
Yun Fenghuang said: "But everyone knows this already, who else can be moved?"
Having said that, her face looked a little solemn.
After all, it was with Jiang's support and Jiang's tendency to treat concubines as if they were his own, that she became a role model for beauties in the North.
Therefore, Yun Fenghuang is very aware of the importance of becoming famous.
The Gu family's position of power is even higher than that of the Xie family. Back then, the Jiang family was able to turn her arrogant and domineering daughter into a gentle, virtuous, talented and beautiful daughter-in-law. She was the daughter-in-law that everyone in the world wanted most... The third prince was acting pretentious now. , who knows whether the Gu family will praise her as a well-educated queen who is a natural mother to the world
... To put it bluntly, the Yun family is not doing enough!
Yun Fenghuang sighed secretly.
After all, King Qin is the legitimate grandson of the Yun family. Apart from visiting the palace from time to time, has the Yun family done anything else to support him so far
No!
This kind of outsider is simply worthless.
It's a pity to throw away tasteless food.
Yun Fenghuang thought for a while, sighed secretly, and said: "That's all, come, prepare the chariot, I will go and have a good chat with the queen."
I originally planned to hold it for future use, but thinking about the changes in things and people in the past two years, the plan is not as fast as the change. Who knows if it will be useful in the future
Still not keeping it.
