Yun Fenghuang raised his eyebrows when he heard this, and quickly went through the Chongchang Palace and the people who were close to the Queen, and asked with a smile: "Could it be... Ping Xianyi?"
Chen Jing smiled and said, "Your Majesty guessed wrong!"
Immediately, his face straightened, he took two steps forward and whispered, "Your Majesty, this is... the third prince."
"Third Prince?" Yun Fenghuang really didn't expect it, and couldn't help but raise his eyebrows and said, "How old is this child? Even though he had many talents before his maternal family fell, he is also somewhat smart. How can you say that despite his age... He has this What's his ability? I remember that Your Majesty and the Queen have checked them over and over again?"
Chen Jing whispered: "That's right. In fact, I'm not sure whether it's a coincidence or whether the third prince is really young... According to my inquiry, the thing is like this: It's not that the tenth prince fell into a well and has been lying there till now. Is it? The third prince is said to be very guilty, and often blames himself in front of the queen, feeling that it is his brother who failed to take care of his brothers... The queen comforted him several times, but the third prince still couldn't let go. No, yesterday, the third prince The prince actually gave two crooked prayer sachets to the Queen, saying one was for the Queen and one for the tenth prince."
Then the queen was very moved, hugged the third prince and comforted him, telling him not to blame herself anymore, but to blame her, the mother, for her incompetent management of the palace and allowing the traitors to take advantage of the loophole.
Seeing that the third prince was trying to force a smile, the queen thoughtfully changed the topic and asked the third prince to talk about the process of making the sachet.
The third prince was shy and said that he had heard that female beauties were a thing for women, and as a prince he shouldn't get involved. But I really wanted to give my mother and my tenth brother a prayer sachet, so I thought it would be more sincere to make it myself...
Gu Zhen has no biological children, and he is not like Yun Fenghuang who puts himself first in everything.
She attaches great importance to the sincerity of her adopted sons.
I was very moved when I heard this and almost shed tears.
Such a kind mother, a filial son, enjoying the happiness of a family... As you talked to me, the queen thought of the Queen Mother Yuan, and she was thoughtful after the third prince resigned.
Are you going to send people all over the palace to spread the word today, and plan to follow suit and present some handmade items to Empress Dowager Yuan to show your sincerity
"Is this really difficult to judge?" Yun Fenghuang pondered. She had always paid attention to the third prince, as well as the second prince. Not only her, she was sure that Chunjia had also arranged for someone to observe secretly.
After all, these two are both of Kang Jieyu's bloodline, the direct grandsons of the late Marquis Minyang.
When they were born, Ji's family already showed signs of decline.
Based on the family's experience of going through several ups and downs, it was impossible for them not to make arrangements.
And how could two princes with their blood not make plans
But maybe it's because the two princes are too young, but after all these years, they haven't found anything wrong with them.
Listening to Chen Jing's words this time, Yun Fenghuang also hesitated.
Because the third prince's filial piety towards the queen was known to all the six palaces.
Perhaps because he had not been favored by the emperor since he was a child, the third prince was very afraid of the emperor.
Yun Fenghuang heard that Chunjia occasionally visited the princes' schools and took exams casually. Every time the third prince stuttered and was incoherent, Chunjia once suspected that he was lying when he compared King Qin's homework.
But after leaving Chunjia, the prince's studies returned to normal. He was indeed more efficient than the King of Qin.
In sharp contrast, the third prince was very attached to the queen.
He showed gentleness and consideration to the queen that far exceeded his age.
King Qin and Zhaoqing thought that they were Yun Fenghuang's biological flesh and blood so far, and Yun Fenghuang was very good at fooling them, so they now had unsuspecting admiration for Yun Fenghuang. But because of his arrogant and domineering nature, he cannot be said to be docile and sensible.
Yun Fenghuang often needs to find ways to coax them.
Occasionally there is even a performance.
And the third prince has never been willful in front of the queen...
This is understandable, after all, the queen may be the only person in the huge palace who has goodwill towards the twin princes and even feels sorry for them.
Within the scope of the queen's ability, she did her best to provide protection and favor for the two princes.
So the third prince might have sincerely made sachets for his mother, the emperor, or maybe he was using this method to tactfully remind the queen? If it's the former, forget it, Quan will be lucky to be the queen. If it is the latter, it would be terrible, because if the third prince has such deep thoughts at a young age, whether he thought of it himself or someone was guiding him from behind, it means that the tenth prince's fall into the well may not be so simple. of harmed by others.
It may have a lot to do with the third prince, a gentle, friendly, considerate and well-behaved prince in the eyes of almost everyone!
At this time, Yun Fenghuang didn't know that Chunjia had actually suspected the third prince when he heard what happened. After pondering for a while, he told Chen Jing: "It's just a one-time incident. It's hard to judge. Keep an eye on it. If anything happens, If you have the chance, give this His Highness some advantages."
Once may be a coincidence, but if it happens twice, three, or four times... then it cannot be explained by coincidence.
No matter how clever or reasonable the method is, if there are too many similar things, the true face of the third prince can be seen.
Moreover, Yun Fenghuang was not from Dali Temple. She didn't want evidence, she just wanted to know what was going on.
"Then, what did the Queen say about birthday congratulations?" The Qing people asked for instructions.
Yun Fenghuang said casually: "I am in confinement. Even though I am almost full moon, how can I find the time to make things? Choose someone who is sensible, has a tight tongue and is good at making things. When your Majesty comes, I will show off. Forget it. Anyway, even if I have done my best, after sending it to Fuyang County, the Queen Mother will just return it. The Empress Dowager Loving Mother... Oh, does she dare to use it? I'm afraid she won't take it out immediately, burn it, throw it away, and smash it. Don’t waste my time and efforts.”
Just mean it.
Anyway, this time the Sixth Palace was going to clear themselves up and step down from the stage for the two Queen Mothers, and it would not highlight her, so why should she worry about it
I don’t know if it was because this matter made Chunjia very satisfied. Chunjia came to the harem for a rare occasion that day. She first went to Chongchang Hall to visit the tenth prince who had not yet recovered, and talked to the queen for a while. After that, Then we went to Xuanqing Palace to see Yunfenghuang.
Yun Fenghuang knew he was coming, so he dressed weakly in advance and lay on the couch waiting for him.
Due to busy government affairs, Chunjia didn't come for two days. In addition, the last time she faced the imperial concubine's request for mother and son to leave together, she almost left in a flash. Now that they met, Chunjia looked at Yun Fenghuang carefully for a while, and was very surprised. He was worried that she was more haggard and weak... When he saw it, he subconsciously said: "Why is Ahuang so powdered now?"
Yun Fenghuang: "..."
Damn it, I forgot that this guy was known to be both civil and military before he took office, and his archery skills were particularly good.
Even among the generals in the army, few can match it.
Can someone with excellent archery skills have poor eyesight
Fortunately, she was afraid that the other party would not be able to see how fragile and delicate she was now, so she specially arranged a dim light nearby.
"... Didn't I hear that you were coming, and I was worried that you would be worried, so I specially asked someone to get makeup and cover it up?" Fortunately, she didn't play tricks once or twice. She changed her mind and covered it up in a low voice, "What? You think I'm so ugly that even applying powder can't stop me?"
Hearing that the emperor was about to lose his temper again, he quickly denied it: "What are you talking about? I just think you look more and more attractive today... How do you feel these past two days?"
Yun Fenghuang said calmly: "That's it. The Jia family came here two days ago and cried out about the hardship of being empty under her knees. I looked pitiful. Besides, the Queen's side, His Highness the King of Chu has to worry about, not to mention the tenth prince. It's not healed yet. Thinking that the two princesses have not arranged well, it is also a worry for the queen, so I sent Chen Jing to go and say a few words to Jia. But I don't know what to do with this bastard Chen Jing The difference is really annoying to the queen."
Chunjia didn't care about the whereabouts of the two princesses. One was because he sincerely believed that no matter how bad Yun Fenghuang was to the concubines, he would never treat the children badly; the second was because he didn't know either of the daughters well. He is not very fond of his biological mother and has weak feelings.
At this moment, I heard that I had no idea about leaving it to the Jia family to raise, so I just frowned and said, "You are still recuperating, why bother with so many other people?"
"What are you talking about?" Yun Fenghuang smiled a little, accepting his concern, and said angrily, "Don't forget that I am assisting the Queen in managing the Sixth Palace. These things are really important. If you can't take care of it, just pay it off, but since you can take care of it, how can you ignore it?"
Seeing her like this, Chunjia felt relieved. He smiled and asked her about her recent expenses on food and clothing. Is there anything she was dissatisfied with
In fact, he also knew that Yun Fenghuang was a noble concubine. She had always been flamboyant and domineering, and she had palace power in her hands. How could she be wronged? But when the emperor asked this question, it was out of concern. Yun Fenghuang responded casually, thinking about the return of Xie Wuzheng and his wife to the imperial capital. He was thinking about whether to say something, and suddenly thought of... this bastard! ! !
Last time she made a fuss about taking the fifteenth prince to join the feudal vassal. She saw him suppressing his anger and wanted to leave. She was also wondering when this man would come back to negotiate terms. But it turned out that he looked as if nothing had happened. Was he planning to muddle through? ?
Yun Fenghuang suddenly felt that it was not possible!
But after a few days, she almost forgot about it. Just bringing it up like this seemed so bitter and stingy. She had to find another excuse to get angry!
"Your Majesty, I heard something two days ago that Deng Yueting intends to get married?" Yun Fenghuang immediately asked, "But I don't know what kind of girl he likes?"
Chunjia was startled. Of course he knew that Deng Chengzhai wanted to get a wife.
And also in favor.
After all, Deng Chengzhai is already that old, and the emperor's status is now stable. As a close minister of the emperor, unless the emperor personally speaks, other high-ranking officials are no longer qualified to influence his life-long affairs.
It's a good time to marry a virtuous wife and take charge of the back house, and it's safe to wait for two years to go out or something.
I just didn't expect that even though there were so many people in the previous dynasty who refused to give up, the imperial concubine who had not been mentioned at all before would actually be thinking about it.
