After a long talk with Xie Wuzheng, Yun Fenghuang felt much better.
Although she felt that she could do it alone, she had to say that having a reliable teammate would really save her a lot of worry.
Especially before Xie Wuzheng left, he proposed to her that he planned to visit Ouyang Yanran: "After all, he is an important minister in the court, and he is trusted by your majesty. There is no need to sever the relationship all of a sudden. Although I know that the empress does not I am not afraid of him, but there are many children in the family. I will not fall into his hands in the future, but it is better to dissolve enemies than to make enemies. The ministers have worked under him before, which can be regarded as some friendship. If you visit this time, the Ouyang family will treat them with courtesy. Treat each other well, your Majesty, you might as well ask Mr. Jia to treat the Fourth Princess kindly and leave a ray of hope."
Yun Fenghuang didn't care about the fourth princess at all. He felt a little regretful when he heard this: "At that time, His Majesty didn't say that he would allow you and Brother Eighteen to join the officialdom. I was thinking that old man Ouyang wanted to break up the partnership naturally. It would be too much. I don't take me seriously... so I took a heavy blow. If I had known earlier, I didn't actually have to force the Ouyang family and the Meng family to death."
After all, although she, the Ouyang family, and the Meng family are wary of each other, in fact, neither side can do anything to the other. But after Xie Wuzheng and Xie Xiaoyu entered the court, that was not necessarily the case!
Those two families were long-established families. They couldn't deal with the imperial concubine who was deep in the palace and loved by the emperor. They couldn't deal with the Xie family's children who had no foundation in the court
The most important thing is that if the emperor really plans to use the Xie family as a whetstone for his legitimate son, he will definitely condone Xie Wuzheng, Xie Xiaoyu, and even other Xie family members to be promoted to a higher status. Otherwise, what qualifications do they have to sharpen their future? Crown Prince
In this way, the Xie family and Yun Fenghuang want to make a fake show and take the opportunity to establish the foundation of the Xie family's famous family. What's the benefit of starting a feud with the two famous families of Ouyang and Meng in advance
"This must have all been planned by that bastard Chunjia!" After waking up, Yun Fenghuang sighed and thought, "Why did I say that he was willing to let go? After all, I didn't thank you for it before. Are you on guard against thieves? The reason for this is because now that the Ouyang family and the Meng family have gone, I have a grudge against these two families. Even if the Eighteenth Brother and the Twenty-first Brother are allowed to join the officialdom, those two families will keep an eye on them. Hands tied..."
It is conceivable that even Xie Wuzheng is very scheming, but after all, Xie's foundation is weak, how could he withstand the criticism of two such famous families alone? Not to mention Xie Xiaoyu.
Even if Yun Fenghuang favors this direct brother, he has to admit that he is not qualified.
He is not the material to fight against the temple at all.
So these two brothers, as well as other descendants of the Xie family who may be promoted, have only one way: to cling to the emperor's thigh.
Otherwise, they would not be able to gain a foothold in the government.
This means that once the emperor feels that they are no longer of use, he will get rid of them in a minute!
Yun Fenghuang was angry, resentful, and very angry: If she had known that enmity would have allowed the emperor to recall Xie's children and entrust them with positions, she should have done this earlier! It’s not like Xie Wuzheng wasted this time!
"The empress is alone in the palace, and there is no help at home. Sometimes she needs to resort to thunderous means." Xie Wuzheng saw that her face was not very good, so he comforted her, "This high-class family has many heirs, and only two concubines are dead. He would be dead. Their mother-in-law may not care, so why should the mother-in-law be upset? Besides, there are only so many important official positions in the court. Even if this didn't happen, would they welcome the minister and the eighteenth brother to join the official position? No. It's possible. In this case, it's better to let go and do whatever you want. After all, it was their disrespect for the empress that led to the death of their legitimate daughter, so how can they blame the empress?"
After saying this, Yun Fenghuang's eyebrows stretched and he said with a smile: "If Brother Twenty-one says a few more words, I'm afraid I will become even more unreasonable in the future."
"What the empress said should be true. There is nothing the family can do." Xie Wuzheng sighed, "I heard that Concubine An... "
After a pause, he said, "There is also His Majesty the Empress Yuan. That's the real truth. Even His Majesty can't do anything about it! Our family... Well, my empress has been really wronged over the years!"
Because of his guilt and pity, after a while, Chunjia, who heard that Xie Wuzheng and his wife had resigned from the palace and took the time to come over to take credit, smiled and asked a few questions about the brother and sister's reunion after a long separation, but was greeted by Yun Fenghuang with a stern face. I scolded him and said that he had no conscience. My cousin and Her Royal Highness Princess Sui'an had been in the Northland for these days. They were dusty and haggard, which showed how bad their life was!
"That's all for my brother. He and I are both born and raised in the North. Besides, what does a man want to be so refined? If he is haggard and weathered, he will be more manly!" Yun Fenghuang said coldly, "But Your Highness What? That's the blood of Xiaozong, your majesty's sister, and the one who grew up under your majesty's eyes! The golden branches and jade leaves, that skin... I look at it, she is infinitely better than the people of the Qing Dynasty! I don't know what Concubine Shen is today. See, how uncomfortable it must be! If word of this gets out, what will the outside world say about you?!"
Chunjia was not stupid, and he could tell that she was scolding him in the name of thinking about herself, but... she was at a loss.
This is wrong, why are you getting angry with me again
He felt that he had been so wronged. In order for Xie Wuzheng to return to the court and to have him resurrected, the imperial concubine had really gone through a lot of trouble in the past two years.
It was rare for him to relent, and he even generously said that he brought along Xie Xiaoyu, a brother who was said to have the best relationship with the imperial concubine. He was disappointed that the imperial concubine didn't pounce on her and express her gratitude, so why should she scold him? !
He calmed down and tried to reason with Yun Fenghuang: "We have only been here for a few days. Besides, when I went, the servants and daily necessities were fully prepared. Sui'an himself was also very I would like to see where the prince-in-law grows... Why are they so haggard? It's probably because they are young and ignorant and are traveling in a hurry. It only takes two days to raise them. And I also took a look at them today, although they still look a little tired. , but the energy and spirit are excellent.”
Nonsense, I thought I would be excluded from the center of power for the rest of my life, but now I see hope, how can I be energetic and energetic
Yun Fenghuang snorted coldly in his heart and said: "Your Majesty, are you saying that the Xie family has not served your highness well? In the conscience of heaven and earth, I, the concubine, and the whole clan are doing their best to serve your highness. If this still cannot satisfy your majesty, then I, the concubine, and the clan I can only forget about hanging on the southeast branch!"
"Ahuang, why are you angry again?" Chunjia was puzzled, and simply waved his hand to let all the people who were waiting on him go out, and asked himself, "Are you not happy to see your consort? Could it be that the consort said something to make you angry?"
"..." Yun Fenghuang rolled his eyes at him and turned his face to the side, "Brother Twenty-One asked about the current situation and felt very sorry for me."
Chunjia felt it was unfair: "Don't I feel sorry for you?"
Why? Xie Wuzheng is your cousin, not your real brother. He feels sorry for you and can only say a few words of comfort for free. I have put so much thought into it, spent so much time, and done so much for you. Things... I haven't seen you moved at all, and you are still showing off to me!
Why can your cousin keep you in mind and come here to take it out on me now? ?
"Is this something that is distressing or not?" Yun Fenghuang burst into tears immediately, "I feel uncomfortable thinking about those things!"
At this time, Chunjia was suddenly embarrassed to continue questioning. After all, not to mention other things, he felt that the imperial concubine was born prematurely, and he felt that he was in the wrong.
After being embarrassed for a while, I could only coax cautiously: "... It's all over. From now on, I... well, I won't let you be in that situation again. Really."
Yun Fenghuang sneered in his heart, secretly thinking that I believe you, but you can say such unconscionable words in front of me! I'm afraid you are now thinking of a way to turn back the legitimate son. Should my brothers and sisters cut off the city in half or give them poisonous wine
However, she didn't want to cause too much trouble. It would be enough to make the emperor realize that he was wronged by making a little trouble. If the trouble continued, don't really hurt the feelings.
Then he hummed and said: "Just because it has passed, I just think about it now and feel uncomfortable... If... I feel like I can't live this life!"
After being coaxed by Chunjia for a while, he softened his expression and told him about the fifteenth prince's full moon: "It's only been a few days. The Qing people are in high spirits and want to have some fun. But concubine I think it’s better to forget it, since Fifteen is neither the eldest nor the legitimate son, how can he surpass his elder brother and sister?”
"It doesn't matter." If this were the emperor two days ago, he would definitely agree with the fifteenth prince not to celebrate the full moon. After all, the two legitimate sons will also go to school in two years and begin to gradually enter the outside court's sight. Xuanqing Palace will now Being too popular is not a good thing.
But now Chunjia has changed his mind and feels that for the future of the concubine, mother and son, it is necessary for Xuanqing Palace and the Xie family to have a certain degree of deterrence.
He didn't want the sweetheart he held in the palm of his hand to be trampled on by some flattering cat or dog.
After hearing this, he said, "I have said before that our children are different after all."
Afraid that Yun Fenghuang would refuse, he immediately made an excuse, "A few years ago, Queen Mother Yuan regretted that we had no children. Although Queen Mother is far away in Fuyang County now, she would have been very happy if she knew that Shi Fifteen was born. Yes. We should honor our mother."
Yun Fenghuang was a little sluggish when he said this, so if his son became unfilial, could he say this
If she were Queen Mother Yuan, she would probably not slap Chunjia herself!
... Yun Fenghuang couldn't help but glance at the cradle not far away. The fifteenth prince had grown a lot during this period, and he finally looked a bit fairer and more cute. Because he had just fed milk, he was sleeping soundly now. It looked like Extremely likable.
You'd better not learn from your biological father in the future, otherwise it will be strange if your mother and concubine don't give you a long memory!
Yun Fenghuang warned the boy fiercely in his heart, turned to Chunjia, and said with an moved face: "Your Majesty... I know that your Majesty is the best!!!"
It's best that your kindness is lost here. If my son looks like you... I will probably beat him to death! ! !
