After a while, King Qin and Zhao Qing entered together. The two children were obviously thinner than before the palace change.
Especially Zhaoqing, his chin is a bit sharp.
Although she inherited the appearance of her biological mother Yi Xingen, she should have a pointed chin when she grew older, but now that she is young, she still has an oval face.
Yun Fenghuang looked a little distressed at the sight of Yun Fenghuang, who had been standing in front of him since he landed. He waved to him before he could salute. He held each other by the hand and looked at them. He sighed: "It's been hard on you these past two days... Didn't you have a good meal? What's the matter? Are you so thin?"
After hearing this, King Qin lowered his head and said nothing, but Zhaoqing burst into tears. While crying, he said: "Mother, concubine, are what they said true?"
Yun Fenghuang secretly scolded Chunjia for being inhumane. If you don't care about your eldest son and daughter, why can't you just pretend? For example, you can give them something as a reward afterwards, find an excuse, etc. These two children have only been in school for a few days, how can you, the majestic emperor, still not fool them? She didn't do anything, she didn't show up, and now she was asked to deal with the aftermath!
Thinking about it more carefully, oh, one thing happened after another after the palace change, and I'm afraid Chunjia couldn't care about the two children at all.
She sighed secretly, put on a loving and amiable face, stroked Zhaoqing's hair, and said softly: "Don't listen to their nonsense. How come your father doesn't feel sorry for you? It's a long story. …”
She was thinking about how to excuse Chunjia. After all, although these two children had been abandoned, according to her understanding of the emperor, as long as everything was peaceful, he would still love them again. After all, they are biological flesh and blood, and the two children are cute and lovable. The biological father did not say that he ignored them because of such an accident, right
But if King Qin and Zhaoqing start to hold grudges, it's hard to say whether Chunjia will alienate them.
The main reason is that the emperor now has no shortage of heirs who can act coquettishly and sell well in front of him...
Yun Fenghuang worked so hard to raise them, how could they just fall out of favor like this
She is pregnant now, but she still doesn't know whether men and women are wise or foolish. Moreover, after giving birth, the child will only be a little older and will either eat or sleep, so it may be difficult to attract the emperor's interest.
When Chunjia was attracted to King Qin and Zhaoqing, it was only when the two children could walk, run, talk, and pester him to act like a spoiled child. He thought they were cute, and then he gradually started to care about them.
So before Yun Fenghuang's biological flesh and blood grew up, she still needed these two children to help win over the emperor's heart.
At least, the emperor can't be allowed to pamper other people's children, right
As a result, while he was rapidly thinking about the explanation, he heard Zhaoqing sobbing: "Father? Isn't even the father the biological father of the children?"
Yun Fenghuang: "???"
After she calmed down, she hugged Zhaoqing into her arms and gently coaxed the child to stop crying. Fang asked with a smile, "What nonsense have you heard? Just listen to the wind and rain." Is this palace?"
"Concubine, my children have heard in the past two days that neither the child nor my sister is the biological daughter of the concubine. Is this true?" Zhaoqing hesitated for a moment, as if he was speechless, but King Qin was standing by and suddenly spoke. , asked softly, "Aren't the children the biological flesh and blood of the mother and concubine?"
Yun Fenghuang was furious!
She didn't expect to keep the two children a secret for the rest of her life. She had even planned to tell them their life experiences when the time was right.
She believed that according to her plan, even if the two children knew their life experience, they would be unlikely to be alienated from her.
As for being nice to their biological mother in private, Yun Fenghuang didn't care. She even left the biological mother of the two children alone just to show off her cards later.
After all, she also plans to be nicer to her own flesh and blood.
This way everyone feels balanced, and King Qin and Zhaoqing can't accuse her of being partial, right? Not only can't she be said to be partial, King Qin's mother and son, as well as Zhaoqing's mother and daughter, must also be thanked for her tolerance and generosity, as well as the effort she put into raising them over the years.
… But that’s later.
At this moment, Yun Fenghuang's relationship with the two children has not yet developed to the point where she thinks it can be made public!
The two children are considered to be six years old, but most children don't start to remember things until they are at least four or five years old, right? This is considered early. When some children grow up, you may not be able to remember everything about them when they were six or seven years old. Calculating this, the time for cultivating affection between mother and son is only three or two years. From now on, they know that Yun Fenghuang is not their biological mother. Even when Yun Fenghuang is pregnant, it is conceivable that the two brothers and sisters will be able to get along with Yun Fenghuang without any grudges.
After Yun Fenghuang gives birth, the newly born child will need more care. What will King Qin and Zhao Qing think then
"Who told you all this?" Yun Fenghuang was full of hatred in his heart, but asked calmly on his face, "Do you believe it?"
The brother and sister carefully observed her expression, but the imperial concubine could hide it from even the emperor. When she didn't want her true thoughts to be seen, how could they detect her
The two children hesitated a little, looked at each other, and Zhaoqing whispered: "The children heard it by chance."
"Well, I heard two days ago that you guys were acting more and more mischievously. Instead of doing your homework, you just played around!" Yun Fenghuang snorted, "Is this true or false?"
Of course, this is not possible. Before that, the brother and sister had no one to watch them, so they must have been having fun everywhere and were extremely happy.
But after the palace change, the entire former harem was trembling in a series of storms.
Although many things had been hidden from the two of them, they had gone from being doted on by their father and loved by their mother to actively asking to see their father, the emperor, and their concubines, and no one paid any attention to them. They were confused and frightened.
Under such circumstances, knowing the secret that they were not Yun Fenghuang's biological children, how could they still have the energy to play around
Zhaoqing immediately became anxious. He pulled Yun Fenghuang's sleeve and shouted, "Mother, concubine, who is talking nonsense?! The child has been in the study with his brother these past few days and has never gone out!"
"Yes, Concubine!" King Qin said quickly from the side, "The homework written by the children is still in the study room. Concubine Concubine didn't believe it, so she asked someone to take it over and take a look!"
Yun Fenghuang patted them comfortingly and said softly: "How can Concubine Mother not believe you? You are all Concubine Mother's darlings. Concubine Mother can't doubt anyone who doubts you. Concubine Mother has always known that Rang'er Jin My son is the best, right?"
Seeing the two children nodding heavily, they then asked, "Then, do you also believe in the mother-in-law?"
"This..." The two children thought for a while and nodded again.
Yun Fenghuang felt a little comforted in his heart. Although the two children had been exposed by others, they had not wasted all the years of raising them. They still looked after her, so he said: "Then the mother-in-law treats you badly? Why is it because she doesn't treat you well?" The people involved will doubt my mother and concubine just by chewing a few words?"
Although Prince Qin and Zhao Qing were both smart children, they were still young and inexperienced, so they did not realize that she was actually secretly changing the concept, equating "I am not your mother and concubine" with "I am not good to you, and I am not your biological mother." "Looks like", he hesitated when he heard this.
"Oh, but I can't blame you." Yun Fenghuang observed the words and sighed, "When my mother was your age, she didn't like to go to school! At that time, your grandmother also used family laws to force her to go to school. The mother-in-law worked hard... At that time, the mother-in-law was angry and asked the people around her, if the mother-in-law was born by your grandma? Now it is your turn to doubt the mother-in-law... "
"Concubine, the children don't want to go to school." King Qin couldn't help but defend, "And concubine treats the children very well! That's why the children dare not imagine, how could concubine not be the concubine?"
"Good boy, my mother and concubine are really happy to see you making such progress." Yun Fenghuang narrowed his eyes slightly and said softly, "But, you are grown up now. You should know that your father is not only your two children, but also Not only your seventh and ninth brothers, but also the younger brothers or sisters in the mother’s womb, he also has your mother, your concubine Shumu, Concubine Demu, Concubine Xianmu and many other concubines! Concubine Mother has children like you. , there is nothing else to ask for, so I usually don’t like to meddle in things. But even if the mother-in-law doesn’t like to meddle in things, given her status here, do you think no one will be jealous? "
Seeing that the two children were confused, she guided, "It's like, every time your father came over before, he would bring you some delicious and fun things. If your father suddenly stops coming, or only brings it to your younger brothers and sisters, It’s delicious and fun, but it doesn’t care about you, so what should you do?”
"We will ignore our father!" Zhaoqing said loudly, "and we will also beat those younger brothers and sisters!"
Well, this is very Zhaoqing.
After all, she is Chunjia's favorite daughter.
Yun Fenghuang looked at the little girl with a delicate face, and her heart felt soft for a moment. After the palace change, she already knew very well what the emperor was thinking.
If the emperor likes this pair of eldest son and eldest daughter, he will definitely like it, but he doesn't like it enough to ignore his previous plans for them... Therefore, these two children should be specially pampered by Chunjia, and they will be given to his favorite prince in the future. Adding obstacles to prevent the prince's growth from going too smoothly and following in Xiaozong's footsteps
If it was Chunjia's biological daughter who dared to have such thoughts, it would be strange if Yun Fenghuang didn't fight for him!
This is not all because she loves her own flesh and blood more, but also because this is a great shame and humiliation in the eyes of the noble concubine: Is the child I gave birth to at the risk of killing two people as a stepping stone for your other children? !
But Zhaoqing is just an heir...
The imperial concubine's eyes flashed, she just chuckled, and said softly: "Isn't this true? Your brothers and sisters, even if they don't say it with their mouths, they all think so in their hearts. But they dare not express it. Once they come out, they and their mother-in-law can only do mischief in private!"
Seeing the anger on both children's faces, he sighed quietly, "Speaking of which, your mother and concubine are incompetent and cannot protect you everywhere. In the past two days, you have been frightened and scared, and you have listened to so many nonsense... "
What King Qin and Zhao Qing were most concerned about these past two days was the issue of life experience, and they didn't care much about anything else, including being left behind on the day of the palace coup.
But now after being explained by the imperial concubine, I consciously understood that they were not the mother and concubine’s biological children, but they were younger brothers and sisters, as well as the other concubines and concubines. They were jealous of the lies fabricated by Xuanqing Palace, and their thoughts suddenly went away, and they immediately remembered the past...
Zhaoqing's eyes suddenly filled with tears, and she asked pitifully: "Mother, concubine, since the child and the eldest brother are both your biological children, why did you take away the seventh brother but not us that night? The seventh brother is not your biological child!"
