If Yun Fenghuang had asked nicely, the brother and sister would have retorted unconvinced.
But when she was in such a state, both King Qin and Zhaoqing were in a panic. How could they even think of talking back
Zhaoqing was the first to say: "Concubine, don't be angry, it's all my fault... Stop crying, we will be obedient!"
King Qin: "..."
No, why is he bad
But he was pinched secretly by his sister, and then looking at the beautiful mother-in-law in front of him, he admitted his mistake bravely: "Yes, mother-in-law, it's all my fault, please don't cry, okay? I will listen to everything from now on. Your!"
Guess they still have a conscience.
Yun Fenghuang snorted in his heart, but maintained a stern look on his face, and said with choked eyes: "Just now in front of your father, do you really think that you are wrong? It's not for your own good, I'm afraid of you I have made your father unhappy, so you are asked to admit your mistake first so that your father can calm down? Otherwise, although you are the eldest son and daughter of your father, you have many younger brothers and sisters who have gradually grown up. , Your Majesty is not only your father, but also the father of many people, how can he continue to pamper and indulge you like before?"
"This..." The brother and sister were a little confused when they heard this. They had been doted on by Chunjia ever since they could remember.
Now that Yun Fenghuang said this, he naturally didn't quite believe it.
But seeing the mother-in-law crying so hard, she didn't dare to refute, so she said vaguely, "What the mother-in-law said is true, and I will definitely keep it in mind."
Yun Fenghuang didn't expect that his trust in Chunjia would be shaken by saying it once, so he continued to cry: "To take a step back, even if your father is willing to pamper you all the time, what about your mother and queen? Where are the other mothers and concubines? And Where are your royal grandmother, great-grandmother, and many foreign ministers? My sons, you are cute and smart. There is no other child in the world who can compare with you. But after all, not everyone will protect you like your father and mother. It’s for you, do you understand?”
King Qin puzzled: "But since there are no children in the world who can compare with us, why don't they protect us?"
"Of course this is because of jealousy." Yun Fenghuang said firmly, "Everyone in the previous harem knows that your father prefers my mother the most among the concubines, so my mother has been targeted since she entered the palace! This Now you are so outstanding, how could they not do something? As the saying goes, anything beautiful in the forest will be destroyed by the wind. This is the case in this world. If you don't attract people's envy, you are mediocre! "
Zhaoqing was not happy and tugged on the hem of her skirt and shook her: "Mother! These people are so annoying! Why don't we talk to our father and arrest them all and chop them up!"
"How can that be done?" Yun Fenghuang said, "Then they will definitely say that we are evil. And it will also be difficult for your father."
Zhaoqing said aggrievedly: "Okay, they actually dare to say that I'm evil! I'm going to report to my father and kill them and my family!"
This is really Chunjia's biological daughter. She is like her own daughter who kills the entire family if they disagree with her.
Yun Fenghuang grabbed her and said, "There are a lot of people in the world. You can kill one family, or ten families, but can you kill everyone?"
"Why not?" Zhaoqing said angrily, "The disobedient servants are Diao slaves! The mother-in-law said that even Diao slaves cannot be kept!"
"If we kill them all, who will serve you?" Yun Fenghuang calmly reasoned with her, "When the time comes, who will dress you, feed you, and..."
Zhaoqing looked at her innocently: "Don't I still have a father, an emperor, a mother and a concubine?"
You still expect me to serve you hand in hand
What misunderstanding do you have about me
Even if I have my own flesh and blood, I'm afraid I won't be able to be so loving!
Yun Fenghuang was silent for a while, gave up telling her those profound things, and only said: "Everything you did this time was good, except for one thing."
Because she stopped crying now, the two children suddenly felt that they could bear again.
So Zhaoqing curled his lips, put his hands behind his back, looked up at the top of the palace, and muttered: "We are not wrong, we are doing the right thing... Let's see if Yixi dares to laugh again next time... "
"Then I'd like to ask you, mother." Yun Fenghuang chuckled, took a sip of tea, and said unhurriedly, "If, today you besiege Yisi, it's not because of what happened last time to bully the minority, but because of what happened last time. There are other reasons, for example, Yisi is disrespectful to our country, or Yisi said that he has done something to conflict with his mother or your father. You are the heirs of the country, the country, the children, and the parents. Isn’t revenge a natural thing?”
"Ah...?" King Qin and Zhao Qing were still very dissatisfied and aggrieved. After hearing these words, they were confused for a moment. Then they came back to their senses and felt that a door they had never noticed before was slowly opening. They couldn't help but feel confused for a moment.
Yun Fenghuang observed their expressions and said slowly: "Whether it is your father, your mother, or even your mother, stepmother and concubines who usually don't like you very much, they all support you in this matter! The key is , you can’t take action for no reason! You have to find a reason, right? Otherwise, if the two sides start a quarrel, my mother and your father will not be able to speak for you, how can this be good? "
After saying this, she said no more and motioned to the palace servants to lead them down, "You guys should think about it carefully."
Yun Fenghuang finally looked away. Neither of these two young ancestors were economical.
The key is that Chunjia is still willing to pamper her, at least for now.
In order to prevent them from ruining their reputation when they are young and ignorant, and do not teach others, this practice of taking the lead in occupying the highest moral level must be taught to them by ear and face!
Otherwise, I am afraid that without waiting for her layout to be completed, the civil and military officials of the entire court would reach a consensus that the emperor's heir from the Xuanqing Palace should never be the heir.
Then who should she cry to
So if these two kids have to cause trouble...
It must be a famous example.
You must not cause trouble like this time, and you can only rely on the emperor's favor to get through.
If things go on like this, it will be strange to be treated well by the subjects.
"Go and tell the Queen, Your Majesty will take care of this matter." Yun Fenghuang thought about it and said to Chie, "There is nothing wrong with us... Your Majesty does not blame the emperor's heirs."
Gu Zhen breathed a sigh of relief when he heard the news, and then praised the third prince: "You did a good job. I will do the same next time. Except for my behavior in front of my husband, I followed King Qin and others. If anything happens, they will step up to the plate."
It has to be said that the concubine's favor was not due to luck. The queen thought she could not match her ability to appease the emperor.
If the third prince had taken the lead, Gu Zhen would have been sent to kneel down in front of Taichu Palace to apologize.
It's not like Yun Feng Huang, who had a colorful past. It is said that he had a quarrel with Chun Jia, and then the matter was resolved!
"I don't know what your Majesty's temper is. Do you have to be indifferent to Your Majesty for him to like it?" The queen wondered for a while and then stopped thinking about it. She entered the palace as a girl and is now almost thirty years old. Even if No matter how naive I was in the past, after these years of ups and downs, I would no longer think about seeking Chunjia's favor.
All she wants now is to be the Queen Mother.
"Send some things to Xuanqing Palace." The queen then ordered, "After all, this matter has settled down. Although Princess Zhaoqing started it, it was the imperial concubine who ended it."
Yun Fenghuang was a little indifferent when he saw the things sent by Zhonggong. He flipped through them casually and pulled off a corner of the fabric to show to Xiao Jiang: "This is suitable for sister-in-law. I asked them to wrap them up and bring them to sister-in-law later." Go back and use it.”
"This... this was rewarded by the Queen." Xiao Jiang liked this material very much, but after looking at it, she still reluctantly refused, "Where is the wife of the minister qualified to use it?"
"What are the qualifications and disqualifications?" Yun Fenghuang took a sip of tea and said calmly, "This is not a transcendent color. Sister-in-law, just use it."
Xiao Jiang thought about her sister-in-law's favor, and she really liked it. After being coy about it for a while, she happily accepted it.
I haven't seen my sister-in-law for some time. This is because Xiao Jiang became pregnant not long ago and stayed in seclusion to protect her pregnancy. Now she is three months old and is relatively stable before going out to move around.
The first one she came to was Yun Fenghuang.
After talking for a while and looking at Yun Fenghuang's expression, Xiao Jiang said: "I received a letter from home two days ago, but it was written by the thirteenth sister-in-law."
Because Xie Xiliu also went out with the army, when Jiang went back to the north, Xiao Chen went with her in the name of serving her mother-in-law. However, the children who were brought to Dijing earlier were not taken away, so their sister-in-law, Xiao Jiang, was asked to help take care of them.
After all, Xie Xiaoyu, as a student of Cui Wan, will eventually continue to study before leaving school... This is just a rhetoric to the outside world. In fact, it is mainly because Xie Xiaoyu is young and has no children. The family is afraid that if something happens to him after he goes into battle, this The branch will die.
"Sister-in-law Thirteen?" Yun Fenghuang asked, "Did she write to ask about Meng'er? Everything is fine with Meng'er. If you are worried, you can go see her on behalf of Sister-in-law Thirteen later."
"What are you talking about? Meng'er is in front of you. What else do you have to worry about?" Xiao Jiang said quickly, "But it was my grandmother at home who asked about Meng'er's marriage. Sister-in-law Thirteen didn't know anything about it, so she wrote After the letter comes, I will ask my wife to inquire about the arrangements here, so that I can reply to my grandmother... Of course, Meng'er is actually still young, and if I haven't considered it yet, it doesn't matter if it's two years later."
Yun Fenghuang was a little surprised: "Meng'er's marriage?"
Xie Meng first entered the palace to accompany him when he was seven years old. It was the year after Yun Fenghuang entered the palace. The emperor's favor gradually became stable. The key was to brush off his grief for not being able to have children himself. The emperor was deeply moved. He thought so, and strongly agreed that Xie Meng, who looked exactly like Yun Fenghuang, would stay in the palace forever as a comfort.
Because he didn't really need this niece to fill the emptiness and regret in his heart, Yun Fenghuang actually didn't care about her much.
Two years ago, she had not officially taken over the palace affairs, and there was no royal heir to take care of, but she personally supervised the schoolwork for a period of time.
Later, I gradually became busy, just stocking up.
It's just to arrange manpower to take care of it. Occasionally, I think of it when I have time, so I call him to ask something.
Perhaps because he didn't spend much time with his niece, Yun Fenghuang always felt that his niece was still a child.
Now that Xiao Jiang came to remind him, I remembered that Xie Meng is also eleven years old this year. Even though there are still two years left before leaving the cabinet, it is time to look at him.
"...Since grandma asked, I don't know if grandma has any plans?" She pondered for a while and asked.
Xiao Jiang's smile was a little subtle: "I heard that what grandma meant is that the fierce son has a sweet temper and has always been raised in front of the empress, so I am afraid that he will become more willful and unruly. If he marries someone from outside, he may not get along with his uncle, husband and son-in-law. , what will we do if we become a pair of resentful couples? So we might as well get closer... Sister-in-law Thirteen feels that Meng'er was almost raised by you. Of course, this important matter of marriage must be subject to your wishes, so I dare not say anything. "
Yun Fenghuang smiled and said to himself, no wonder Xie Meng was only thirteen years old. Even if his mother was more concerned about her daughter than her aunt and felt that it was time to consider life-long matters for her daughter, she couldn't make the mistake of urging her now. Why should Xiao Jiang be asked to do so? Is this a special trip
The co-author was forced by his grandmother, so he had no choice but to push his sister-in-law out to act as a shield.
I also knew that Mrs. Xie’s so-called kiss must be because she wanted Xie Meng to marry a son of her mother’s family.
From the perspective of the old lady of the Xie family, there is no one more suitable to promote her natal family's family status than Xie Meng.
As Yun Fenghuang's "favorite" niece, she has been raised in the palace as her own for many years. Even the emperor is said to value it very much. Once she leaves the cabinet, she wonders how much benefit she can bring to her husband and her husband's family. In the end, The key thing is that she is also the great-granddaughter of the old lady of the Xie family.
If there is a conflict with her husband's family, the old lady of the Xie family can mediate it herself, and there is no need to bear the consequences of offending the younger generation who is favored by the emperor.
It can be said that it has the benefits of having a noble daughter, but there is no risk of marrying a noble daughter.
... But this is only the consideration of the old lady of the Xie family. Xie Meng's mother-in-law, Xiao Chen, is of course not willing to accept it.
Not to mention anything else, just say that with Xie Meng's current experience and status, it is more than enough to marry a serious and wealthy family. Even if he is not the legitimate son, he dare not propose marriage for fear. Why should he take advantage of the old lady's natal family
"I know about this." Yun Fenghuang nodded slightly as he thought about it clearly, and said, "I had plans for Meng'er early in the morning, but my grandmother told me a little late."
After thinking about it, I simply stopped thinking about the old lady of the Xie family, "I have already made plans for Mei'er and Kuo'er. After all, their parents are willing to send their children to the palace to accompany me, and I always have to make plans for them." Long term, right?”
After sending Xiao Jiang away, the expression on Yun Fenghuang's face dimmed: "A country person is a country person. I can't blame the empress and the noble ladies for looking down on my family background. How many days did it take for the last beating? Now? , even my grandmother has gone to her natal family! She has many heirs, and her status is stable. What need is there to ask for from her natal family? Is it better to sell it to her natal family with her direct great-granddaughter or my own niece? "
The Qing man carefully comforted him: "Perhaps the old lady just feels pity for her family because she has no one to support her family?"
"Then we should encourage them to make progress instead of sacrificing Meng'er's future to help that family!" Yun Fenghuang said with a sullen face, "They are working hard to gain glory one by one, but even if they see some benefits, they are all-pervasive! Meng'er is only ten If I think about it like this, when she gets haircut, will I have to think hard?!"
Everyone on the left and right didn't dare to say anything.
Yun Fenghuang was angry for a while and sent someone to summon his three nieces.
