"The Third Prince does have good intentions this time. If you don't like to hear it, you can just reprimand him, but why bother to do it?" Yun Fenghuang looked at the heiress in front of him with picturesque features and a skin that was as radiant as snow, and sighed, "And what's more, Beat him until he limp back to the palace, if your mother knew about it, how could you not feel distressed?"
In fact, it was just a fight. The third prince was not raised by Yun Fenghuang. She also suspected that the third prince was not a fuel-efficient lamp, so naturally she didn't feel bad.
The key is that what Zhaoqing did was too stupid.
In the face of the third prince's kindness, which at least seemed to be a kind reminder, instead of thanking him, he directly attacked the third prince and injured his leg. He also laughed at the third prince for being lonely, limping, weak and helpless. Leaving... Yun Fenghuang didn't even need to ask, he could guess the current opinions of the Sixth Palace on this matter.
At least most people must sympathize with the third prince and hate Zhao Qing.
That is to say, the third prince's life experience is special. Otherwise, even if Chunjia knew about it, he would probably think that Zhaoqing was too ignorant.
So here's the problem, Zhaoqing is only six years old this year. For such an old child, it would be too much for you to ask her to cover everything.
So who takes the blame for Zhaoqing's overbearing behavior
That could only be Yun Fenghuang, his mother-in-law.
Therefore, even if she is currently focused on how to plan for her own flesh and blood, she still has to take the time to give Zhao Qing some advice, lest in the future this daughter will not only not become a bargaining chip in her hands, but will hinder her and even Jin Wang. .
Seeing Zhao Qing's unconvinced look at this moment, she patiently analyzed her temper, "Although your mother can't do anything to you, the people in the palace are not blind. They can say that you are impatient once or twice. How many times?" After so many times, how can we say anything good inside or outside? When the time comes, even the mother and concubine will be discussed by others, can you bear to have others criticize the mother and concubine behind your back for not being able to teach your daughter well? "
Zhaoqing pouted and said gloomily: "I can't bear it... Who dares to talk about my mother and concubine like that? I won't let him go!"
"Fangmin speaks louder than Fangchuan, my son!" Yun Fenghuang stretched out his hand to touch her head and said softly, "It's been a long time since you entered school, and my mother and concubine should teach you something... Well, with my brother The skills of getting along with sisters!”
She calmly imparted her experience of fighting with the sisters when she was young. She looked at Zhao Qing thoughtfully and sighed, "Go and think about it!"
When Zhaoqing withdrew, the imperial concubine's face darkened and she asked Chen Jing, "Does the Third Prince always care so much about his brothers and sisters?"
"... I guess." Chen Jing said hesitantly, "The third prince seems to be flattering the other princes because he is not favored by His Majesty."
He knew that the imperial concubine was suspicious of the third prince, and at this moment he was also a little suspicious that what happened this time was not an accident. The third prince specifically stepped on Zhao Qingli's poor character, "His Royal Highness Prince Qin and His Royal Highness Princess Zhaoqing have always been loved by His Majesty. The prince has always been more in awe of the two His Highnesses."
Yun Fenghuang pinched his forehead and said calmly: "I don't care what his intentions are. In short, today is different from the past. The people in front of me can no longer do such unreasonable things to bully others. Do you understand?"
Of course Chen Jing understood that the key point was that it was "completely unreasonable". The imperial concubine did not want them to be cowardly turtles from now on, but she was just looking for trouble or trouble, which must be justified.
Instead of relying on the emperor's favor and brutally crushing him.
"There is one more thing." Chen Jing pondered for a moment and then said, "I originally planned to observe it for a few days before reporting it to your Majesty, but since I brought it up today, I have mentioned it in advance and asked your Majesty to calm down. Remember Prince Isi?”
Yun Fenghuang frowned and asked, "What's wrong with this prince?"
"... He has been paying close attention to Her Highness the Princess recently." Chen Jing said cautiously, "Her Highness the Princess occasionally mentioned that she didn't know what it was like outside the palace, so he immediately brought in a lot of gadgets, specially dedicated to Her Highness the Princess."
It didn't matter simply like this. Quan thought he was trying to please the princess. The key was, "Later, when the second princess saw it, she said that she had also thought about it. In the end, Prince Yixi acted as if he hadn't heard. This..."
"How old is Zhaoqing? The barbarians are indeed barbarians with no shame!" Yun Fenghuang sneered, not even bothering to get angry, and calmly ordered, "I remember that in the school now, apart from Yixi, the eldest is the Marquis of Yongchun? Send someone to tell Marquis Yongchun that next time they take riding and shooting lessons, let Yixi be carried out and lie down for a year and a half."
Zhaoqing will be retained to win over important ministers for the fifteenth in the future!
What the hell is Issy
Dare to covet it
However, Yun Fenghuang knew that not only would she not be able to agree to this matter, not even Chunjia would be able to agree to it.
So it's just Yixi who has Zhaoqing's idea, and she just needs to teach him a lesson.
only…
This time it was the elder Yixi who overestimated his ability and fell in love with Zhaoqing. This daughter was already six years old in a blink of an eye. In three to five years, it would be time to think about marriage. At that time, if you are still this indulgent and willful person and you fall in love with some random person, then...
Thinking of that possibility, Yun Fenghuang frowned and said, "Your Majesty, come here and remind me... I must tell your Majesty that starting from next year, the princess and the princes should go to school separately!"
It just so happens that the rule that men and women sit on separate seats at the age of seven is a ready-made reason.
"Your Majesty, who can teach women in school?" Chen Jing agreed and asked for instructions.
"As for women's education..." Yun Fenghuang thought for a moment, then said with a thought, "Women from poor families often don't know the words, so what are the rules and etiquette? If we talk about teaching the princesses, they must still learn from high-level families. It is better to look for those virtuous and virtuous people in the boudoir of the big families. In this way, you can record all the women and talented girls in the high families in the imperial capital, and let me think about it carefully. "
While she was explaining things here and wondering whether to secretly expand her wings from the backyard, Chun Jiazheng, the former emperor, awkwardly mentioned her marriage to Deng Chengzhai.
Deng Chengzhai was flattered at first and felt that the emperor really valued him.
But when he heard that the emperor wanted to recommend Xie Meng to him as his wife, he...
It's not that he doesn't like Xie Meng, after all, he hasn't met anyone yet, so there's no way he likes or dislikes him.
The key is that he was just thinking about paying more attention to the imperial concubine, and never thought about getting married to the imperial concubine!
The reason is simple, because of the fifteenth prince.
Deng Chengzhai was also one of the people who suspected that Yun Fenghuang would covet the position of crown prince. It should be said that all the civil and military officials in the Manchu Dynasty were not so suspicious...
He just realized that the emperor's intentions for the imperial concubine were deeper than what the outside world thought, so he had some plans to take advantage of it, but he never planned to side with the imperial concubine, okay? !
"Your Majesty, since Miss Xie is the concubine's direct niece and grew up in the palace, she must have a very good temperament and a good person." Deng Chengzhai politely declined at this moment, "It's just... I'm sorry for being bold. I was so brave when I was young. Your Majesty, your Majesty is reading with you. In terms of seniority, is there a gap between you and Miss Xie?"
Chunjia also thought so. Although it is common for marriages in the Tian family to mix up the generations, as Deng Chengzhai said, he and Deng Chengzhai were almost the same age and grew up together. However, Xie Meng first came to the palace after the imperial concubine entered the palace. Niancai was sent to the palace because of the fate of the imperial concubine's heirs and was raised under the imperial concubine's knees.
When the emperor looked at Xie Meng, he also looked at the junior's attitude.
Now that they are put together as a pair, no matter how you think about it, there is something wrong with their seniority.
You know, Xie Meng's biological aunt Yun Fenghuang is almost ten years younger than Chun Jia...
But there was no way, he had already agreed to the imperial concubine. No matter how difficult it was to deal with Deng Chengzhai, it would not be as difficult as dealing with the imperial concubine, right
At this moment, he said vaguely: "Even so, you and the niece, the imperial concubine, are not relatives, and there is nothing to mention about seniority. Even if the age gap is a bit big, there have been many things between old husband and young wife throughout the ages. Besides, Aiqing is still in her prime, so she is not old. The imperial concubine has said that she thinks you are a good person and a gentleman. Even if you are a little older, it is not a big deal. It just so happens that her niece is a bit naive and naive. It takes a steady husband to teach you.”
Deng Chengzhai was silent for a moment, automatically interpreting "innocent" and "needing a stable husband" as a character that is indulgent and willful, and he couldn't control it without a few brushes. He couldn't help but sigh: Is he looking for trouble on his own
The idea of getting married suddenly came up just to have a wife who would make it easier to enter and leave the palace in the future.
The result is now good, the imperial concubine directly took care of her and brought her niece who grew up in the palace!
Now, as long as the imperial concubine is in power, his little wife will have no problem entering and exiting the palace. And considering Yun Fenghuang's character and skills, even if the niece is not as good as his aunt, she will not be too bad in general.
Generally speaking, it is actually quite in line with Deng Chengzhai's requirements: his background is not too high, and there is no big family or temple giant behind him, so he will not make the emperor jealous or bored, but he has both talent and appearance, and can support his future. Staying at home, and mediating between the ladies and the court... Ordinary people really can't cultivate such a girl.
If the imperial concubine has no children, she may not be able to have those thoughts that she shouldn't have.
Deng Chengzhai would never refuse this marriage.
but now…
He hesitated again and again, but finally said bravely: "Your Majesty, I... don't have a good temper in private, but are you afraid of offending Miss Xie?"
"... It's nothing." Chunjia saw his resistance. After all, the monarch and his subjects had been together for many years. He felt a little guilty, but he was not angry. He just persisted in persuading, "I see that girl, she has a nice temperament, well, she is better than a noble concubine. But you are much more docile. Even if you are young, I must be able to tolerate you?"
The emperor thought to himself that it was really not possible. Anyway, Xie Meng would not leave the cabinet immediately and would have to continue to support him for two years.
Just use this time to let the imperial concubine teach you a gentle and sensible way.
This doesn't count as deceiving his close ministers.
"But this would be too unfair, Miss Xie." Deng Chengzhai saw that the emperor meant that he had to give the person to himself, so he felt helpless and reminded him tactfully, "Besides, I rejected a young lady recommended by the Gu family. At that time, he once said that he did not like pampered girls. This... I heard that your majesty and the imperial concubine have always doted on the three young ladies raised in Xie Qing Palace. But your majesty knows that after the change in the family, although I was lucky enough to grow up, I It's quite shabby. After my wife enters the house, she must take on all kinds of things. Is this... such a pampered woman unable to handle it?"
Do you still want to establish a legitimate son
At this moment, Uncle Zhaowu has returned from the imperial edict but has not yet arrived. You have promised your concubine and niece to me. What if it is considered to be a signal for the fifteenth prince to compete for the position of heir apparent? !
