Of course, there were many courtiers in the government and the public in the east. Although those who supported the legitimate son's succession regarded Yun Fenghuang as a serious concern, there were also some who wanted to take advantage of the danger and win the imperial concubine from the east.
Xiao Jiang's belly was obviously swollen at that time, but he went to the palace to report it in person. In the past two months, they had received frequent invitations and various generous gifts, and they all congratulated the imperial concubine on her happiness: "Mother has returned to Beijing." My wife, I am young and have never dealt with such matters before, but I dare not make the decision without authorization, so I came to ask for instructions from the empress."
Yun Fenghuang pondered, of course she had the intention to seize the throne.
In this case, the help that comes to the door cannot be pushed outward.
But no, we have to consider that if she just got pregnant, she would not know whether she was a boy or a girl. What if she gave birth to a princess in the future... Well, even if she does not have a biological prince, she is very likely to be the prince of Qin and the seventh prince. With the Ninth Prince.
After all, she has become a noble concubine. If she no longer works hard, how do she know that she is not destined to be a queen or queen mother
However, we have to consider Chunjia's thoughts and Youyou's opinions.
After all, she knew in her heart that even though the emperor was not good at empress Mingcuo, and even wanted to be wary of his descendants, at least for now, he had no intention of abandoning the empress.
Not to mention not taking the two healthy legitimate sons seriously.
In fact, he did not want to establish a legitimate son.
In that situation, Yun Fenghuang was already pregnant and was already trying to win over the courtiers. Even if Chunjia didn't say anything, he would definitely be on guard in his heart.
He even secretly cheated on her, causing her and her neighbor's heir to completely lose their chance to compete for the crown prince position.
To be honest, Yun Fenghuang is not afraid of fighting with Gu Zhen or the Gu family.
But fighting against Chun Jia...
She was really unsure.
There was no way, Mrs. Xie couldn't support her. In that era, how could she, a female prostitute, be able to stand up to the emperor's legs
"... I have been in the palace for several years before we have such a happy event. It is not good to go into such a big fight if Ming has not yet shown her pregnancy." After thinking for a moment, Yun Fenghuang said slowly, "Just send everything back. I have good intentions, but I don’t want to be too high-profile, everything is about ensuring the safety of the fetus."
He also told Xiao Jiang that if someone comes to ask Dong to come, don't agree to it as before, "If I don't care about other things, I just want to give birth to Emperor Dong's heir."
Xiao Jiang nodded, indicating that he understood her thoughts.
In fact, everyone in the Xie family in the East hoped that Yun Fenghuang would give birth to an heir to the East Emperor as soon as possible.
Even if she doesn't become a queen or queen mother at first, there is a prince with the blood of the Xie family in front of her. As far as the Xie family is concerned, he is still closer to Qin Wang Zhaoqing and the others. If anything happens in the future, what will happen to her? Break the bones and connect the tendons.
Although the eighteenth sister-in-law Ying Dong was happy, Yun Fenghuang was not very relieved. After she left, he specially asked Chen Zhu to come to him and give him an errand. Will he keep an eye on the Xie clan in the Imperial Capital from now on? People, if there are any high-profile people or those who receive generous gifts from private clients, they should be reported immediately.
"If the good news comes out of my palace only when it is extremely critical, and some ministers are discussing the establishment of a prince, then we must know what it means." She sighed and reminded her confidants, "Even if I am in the east of Bi, I have a certain status in my mind, but is the one in Chongchang Palace the right one to be in the palace? Not to mention the heir in my womb, it is hard to say whether it is a boy or a girl... At that time, he showed his frivolous look, not to mention Speaking of whether you will be laughed at later, don't tell me, Bidong, since when did you ever like someone who can't hold his breath?"
To put it bluntly, even if she was born as a prince, she would not be able to raise him at that time.
Of course, mothers hope that their children will be well, but not to mention that it is not easy for the children in the palace to grow up. Ordinary families, like the Xie family, at least in the main branch, do not have any children, so Baicheng is not happy. If they are well raised, no one will deliberately murder them. Even so, there are not a few who die young.
During the years when Yun Fenghuang entered the palace, he had already passed the time of relying on his children to dote on him and even protect him in his old age. However, he returned to joy with the arrival of that child, but became calmer.
All the confidants were solemn: "Don't worry, Madam, we will be careful in our words and deeds to protect the Madam and the young master!"
Yun Fenghuang then ordered: "I'm afraid the King of Qin and Zhaoqing won't be able to keep my pregnancy a secret for long. We are also watching the Diandidong people and we must not neglect them because of this. We must even be doubly considerate." "
After all, after raising Dong Lai for so many years, he couldn't let those two children separate from him just because they had biological flesh and blood.
Then wouldn’t all the hard work invested before have been wasted
She made arrangements to come back east and took a breath for a while. Then she remembered and asked her boss: "Has the full moon of the Seventh Princess passed?"
"No." Qing Ren went over and said, "The past two months have passed, but don't worry, Madam, your servant has sent a gift according to the rules."
Originally, Chunjia was born to a younger princess than the prince. Yi Xingen was very beautiful and had a good personality. Although she was from a humble background, it was a long time before she became a giant in the palace. However, she gave birth to a compatriot of the eldest daughter of the emperor who was most favored in the east. My younger sister, the Seventh Princess, is somewhat taken seriously by the palace.
But the seventh princess was not born at the right time. On the eve of the full moon, the imperial concubine was expecting a baby. Who would care about her
The full moon passed so quietly.
When Yun Fenghuang asked about it, the Qing people said: "Actually, Yishi didn't do anything. She just set up a table of wine in the palace, and Yishi and her palace people ate some together. Oh, my queen. After the good news spread, she sent gifts very quickly."
Yun Fenghuang looked at the voice with a "hmm" and said: "She has always been sensible...that's all, let her be. Don't patronize me during those months, and also look at Dian Qu. I don't really hope that Qu will be there." You can have children peacefully."
According to her previous plan, party members like Concubine Shu and De Fei, because of their noble birth, might rely on their parents' families to make a fortune at any time, so they had to be on guard against it.
But how could she firmly suppress a good family member like Yi Shiqu who came from a poor family
Therefore, if possible, Yun Fenghuang would rather have those two concubines come to help him, rather than the daughters of the Ouyang family and the Wei family.
As for Shu Fei De Fei Ru Ming, who was already in a high position and had an heir, her status was stable... Yun Fenghuang was very concerned about it.
At that time, Ji Lingzi, Zheng Shangchu, Yunshuang Pou... which one was not in a high position and seemed to have a stable position
The most important thing is that Yi Shi, Qu Shi Ru Ming Leg, seniority in the city, and loyalty are both not very qualified, so Yun Fenghuang just stood still and continued to observe.
If those two people are available, Yun Fenghuang will definitely ask Gong Wei to start a war again.
She is familiar with that matter.
Within two months, the queen sent someone to ask the concubine to go to Chongchang Palace to shut up, saying that the previous investigation about Concubine An's murder of the sixth prince had been found out, and asked the concubine to discuss how to deal with it.
"At that time, Concubine An pressed the Sixth Prince into the basin. Many of the palace attendants witnessed it with their own eyes." When they arrived at the Queen's Palace, they saw a group of principals who had almost arrived. Everyone looked at Yun Fenghuang. It's all complicated, and they are not sterile in public, even if Concubine De has both children, even if it is Chunjia's first child, whether it is calculated from the death of the King of Qi, or from the actual eldest son of the King of Qin, When their biological mother was pregnant, Chunjia did not receive any special treatment.
At that time, the emperor's concern for them was not even as much as that of the empress dowager and the empress dowagers.
I originally thought that Chunjia was under a lot of pressure due to the complicated government affairs and couldn't spare any time, but everyone didn't think anything of it.
It turns out that the imperial concubine is pregnant now, and the contrast... is too stark.
In spite of Yun Fenghuang's past achievements, no one dared to say anything that shouldn't be said. After the usual greetings, Yun Fenghuang sat down and the queen began to talk about business, "Those witnesses are very special." The physical evidence has been clearly investigated by me. But Ru Ming has a problem."
She paused for a moment before speaking in a subtle tone, "The Sixth Prince... has a pure and filial temperament. He firmly refuses to admit that Concubine An wants to kill him, and will stop the mother and son from playing around."
The concubines were a little surprised when they heard this. They had never seen filial children. For example, the heirs of Ming emperors were generally young, and they probably raised them carefully, so they had never heard of sweet words.
But like the sixth prince, it is rare to see someone who protects his mother and concubine even after nearly dying.
"So now we are here to discuss something. How should we deal with the matter?" Seeing that everyone was not shutting up, the queen sighed and asked.
actually…
Do you think that in ordinary people, matters between mother and son are not investigated by the people or the officials? The sixth prince himself worked so hard to protect Concubine An, and the queen did not bother to pay attention to their touching mother-son love.
But she is not a queen.
The sixth prince is not the heir of the emperor.
Empress Dowager Yuan, who was at the head, did not deny the oil-saving lamp.
Gu Zhen couldn't help but think that, even if the sixth prince was so pure and filial, who could guarantee that Concubine An failed to kill him that time and that Dong would not move her legs again? At that time, Chunjia blamed her for not taking good care of the emperor's heir, and Empress Dowager Yuan could not blame her for not being able to separate the mother and son in time, which caused Yuan Yuniang to become a murderer... With Empress Dowager Yuan's personality, she could definitely say that. if.
Therefore, although Gu Zhen also wanted to turn a big deal into a trivial matter, he didn't want to say it himself.
It is best for everyone to express their stance together, or even for the imperial concubine to express her stance clearly.
