Although Yun Fenghuang had speculations about what Chunjia wanted to use the Empress Dowager to do, he did not intend to get involved.
The main thing is that she basically has no influence outside the palace now and has no ability to interfere...
Instead, he was thinking about Chunjia's actions this time, wondering if he had a chance to build up his reputation as a virtuous and virtuous person
It would be easy to do this, such as distributing money and praying for blessings, etc., and then find two talented people to write some storybooks and spread the stories, so that when the whole world is telling the story of the benevolence of the Holy Emperor, a few It will not be difficult to become famous if the anecdote about a wise king and a wise concubine comes out.
The key is…
This method can hide the truth from others and fool the world, but it is impossible to coax Chunjia.
Since the emperor had no intention of letting her aspire to Qingci Palace, he would definitely not agree to her doing so.
If Gu Zhen could react and the queen did it, Chunjia would most likely not care.
But Yun Fenghuang...
It is estimated that the emperor will stop her from the beginning, and it will even consume Chunjia's love for her to some extent.
Yun Fenghuang thought about it and couldn't find a way to bypass Chunjia to gain her reputation... Well, it's not completely impossible. For example, let one of her descendants be infected with smallpox. Then for the sake of this child As long as the performance is good, Chunjia will believe her, and even if she is prevented from getting too popular, she will not be bored.
But the price is too high.
His biological son, King Jin, must not be touched; the seventh prince is the key to controlling Yin Qu, and it is even harder to do so; King Qin and Zhao Qing, as the eldest son and eldest daughter, have been with Chun Jia for a long time, so it is not worthwhile to trade it for such an opportunity, especially When the two children grow up, they will be able to find two in-laws. This may be the help of King Jin in seizing the crown prince in the future; it seems that there is also a ninth prince.
However, after careful consideration, Yun Fenghuang decided to give up taking risks with the Ninth Prince.
It's not that she's worried that her "heirs are bound by a heart, so they love all children" persona will collapse after the incident. She's really not afraid that Chunjia will find out that she's doing something in the palace... If she didn't have any ability at all, she wouldn't have done it in the first place. It would make Empress Dowager Yuan suffer losses many times.
The main reason is that King Jin is too young. Although no mother-in-law does not hope that her child will be well, Yun Fenghuang knows very well that even if the child's family looks strong and has a good life, they can't keep saying it. If it’s gone, it’s gone.
The Xie family from which she was born has many heirs, which means that whether they are standing or dying, there are many. She is very aware of how sudden and unpredictable the departure of children these days is.
Therefore, Yun Fenghuang would never give up on the Ninth Prince until he was sure that King Jin could grow up.
Although this child is not her biological child, it is an heir named in her name, and there is no better alternative.
Otherwise, if King Jin has a problem, will she support King Qin or the seventh prince? Not to mention that the maternal relatives of these two princes are opposed to letting their grandsons go into the muddy waters of fighting for the heirloom. Just say that neither of them is recorded in her name. Even if the matter is successful, the one who will be honored as the empress dowager first will be Concubine Zhenxi Shu or Concubine Wen Huixian.
You have worked so hard and nearly nine lives to gain a position, and then you have to let a dead man sit back and enjoy it
Yun Fenghuang couldn't swallow this breath.
Of course, Chunjia is still in his prime. If he recommends people in his palace to him in the future, he may not be able to have an advantageous son. Even Yun Fenghuang himself, after recuperating for several years, will not be able to give birth to one.
But the problem is that just as the queen was worried before, the two legitimate sons of the tenth prince and the twelve princes are three or four years old, and Yun Fenghuang’s next cheap son is still unknown. When the age gap between the brothers is too big, consider Shizong The lesson learned at that time was that even the legitimate sons who were born by themselves were powerless, let alone the bastards
In short, Yun Fenghuang was very regretful and could only try his best to gain some goodwill for himself. He ordered people to send a message to King Qin, Zhaoqing, the Seventh Prince, and the Ninth Prince, asking them to copy scriptures and other things if they had nothing to do, and give the Third Prince ten The prince prayed.
If you can't take the opportunity to cleanse yourself of being a virtuous and virtuous concubine, then you can further stabilize the image of the beloved concubine in the emperor's mind who is friendly to the emperor's heirs, has a tough mouth, and is soft-hearted.
"The Third Prince also has a fever. Is he in trouble?" After calming down, Yun Fenghuang asked, "Is he really having a fever?"
She couldn't blame her for doubting the third prince. When this incident broke out, she suspected that someone was trying to mess with the queen.
In other words, it was aimed at the Gu family.
After all, when the Twelfth Prince had not yet returned to the harem, the Tenth Prince was targeted. It was hard not to think that Gu was paving the way for the Twelfth Prince.
Because although Chunjia attaches great importance to the two legitimate sons, judging from the emperor's memory of Ji's lessons, unless the gap between the two princes is too big, that is to say, the twelve princes crush the ten in terms of qualifications, talents and abilities. Prince, otherwise Chunjia should be more interested in the tenth prince taking over the East Palace.
Although Ping Xianyi, the biological mother of the tenth prince, had a very good relationship with the queen, she was not Gu's daughter after all.
Moreover, Ping Xianyi's current docility does not mean that he will be of the same mind as the queen in the future. I think that when Queen Mother Qu was a concubine in the palace, if she had been as quiet as she is now, she would have given birth to a child. Chunjia is gone, can she still survive to this day
In short, if the tenth prince succeeds to the throne, his relationship with the Gu family will be one level apart. This is of course not good for the Gu family, but it is a good thing for Chunjia and the Gongxiang family.
From this point of view, the so-called smallpox incident is really similar to the Gu family who, while shouting to catch the thief, conveniently framed Yun Fenghuang, and guided the establishment of the East Palace in advance, which was most beneficial to them.
But Yun Fenghuang knew that the third prince, or perhaps the third prince, was not an easy person.
I can't help but think about what happened this time. Is the mantis stalking the cicada and the oriole behind
You must know that this is the second time this year that the tenth prince has suffered disaster. The last time he fell into a well, it was said to be an accident, but the only people present were the third prince and King Chu. King Chu was stupid and didn't understand anything. The tenth prince himself was also young. He is young, and he has always been taken care of by the third prince. He is afraid that he has been tricked and he is confused and does not know.
As a result, I only recovered for a few days before I caught up with smallpox...
Even though the third prince also showed symptoms of fever, Yun Fenghuang was still suspicious.
After all, who knows if it’s a trick
It’s not certain that you will die if you get smallpox. If you think about it carefully, does this scene look familiar
Back then, at the Qishan Palace, the third prince and the King of Chu also caught wind while playing together. As a result, the third prince was fine, but the King of Chu was burned into a fool...
Yun Fenghuang squinted his eyes, thought for a moment, and then ordered: "Keep an eye on Chongchang Palace and see how the third prince and tenth prince will fare next?"
If the third prince had a near miss again, but the tenth prince went from bad to worse or even disappeared altogether... then the culprit this time would almost be revealed.
Of course, Yun Fenghuang would never yell out, and he even prayed that Chunjia wouldn't find out.
So she just waits for the remnants of the Ji family to help the third prince to eradicate the tenth prince and then kill the twelfth prince. It would be best to deal with the future princes along the way. Wouldn't it be good to stand up and pick peaches at this time
However, Yun Fenghuang also knew in his heart that this kind of expectation could only be an expectation. If Chunjia was so slow, the whole family would not be as cold as Ji's now...
Yun Fenghuang sighed again: "Why can't Gong Xiangji be a fool who doesn't know how to distinguish rice from rice???"
In the blink of an eye, two days later, the third and tenth princes were said to have been officially diagnosed with smallpox and their condition was getting worse. The queen had cried until her voice became hoarse and she could not speak.
As a mother, she is actually very responsible. She even ignored the obstruction from the left and right and insisted on arranging the two children in a side hall and went to take care of them personally: "Both children were taken care of by me when they were infancy. They are sick. It hurts in my heart! And what happened this time, in the final analysis, was my incompetence that caused them to be harmed! Now they are suffering in the side hall, calling for 'Mother Queen', but I am staying in the main hall, How can I feel comfortable with this?"
The attendant tried to persuade her: "If you go there, once the message is sent, then..."
"Pass it on, just pass it on!" The queen was extremely sad and sobbed, "I would rather pass it on myself, but the two children are safe!!! Besides, I am neither satisfied nor able to protect the two children. Child. Even if something happens, so what? Just ask Gu to send her legitimate daughter to the palace to sit in this seat, and your Majesty will definitely agree."
"But other people would have the empress do this to your two highnesses, okay?"
These words made the queen hesitate for a moment, but she thought: "If I don't go, and the two children wait for me to no avail, and they are sad and disappointed, then what's the point of me being alive?"
Everyone has a headache. The queen is very nice, but the problem is that she is really not made to be a queen.
She admitted the truth, but it was always inevitable to act out of emotion at critical moments.
"Empress, you not only have two children, the third prince and the tenth prince, but you also have His Royal Highness the King of Chu and the Twelfth Prince!" He pulled her from side to side and tried to persuade her, "His Royal Highness the King of Chu is already like this. Who else in this palace would be sincere and sincere? Taking care of His Highness? There is also the twelfth prince, who is only a little old. Will His Majesty keep him living in the side hall of Taichu Palace? When the time comes, the harem will still have to be worried about by the empress! Do you want to let the Gu family bring in another legitimate daughter? , think about it, the Gu family has always had a simple family style. Among the ladies in the family, who would be the opponent of the imperial concubine? Even with the imperial concubine’s guidance, you don’t know where the mistake is! In the final analysis, you have to sit in this phoenix position, Gu family Only then can you rest assured!”
If the Gu family had a powerful daughter, the Queen would have managed to send her in to replace Gu Zhen as the queen, without having to tell her.
The key is, no!
If that's the case, who else should I replace
Especially now that there is no daughter of the right age to enter the palace, if Gu Zhen is really good at it, he can only replace the daughter in another house. This is a major matter of the rise and fall of the family, even if the relationship between the Gu family's houses is still normal. Okay, there is no need to fight, and at this time when the Gu family is in turmoil, don't let the whole family's vitality be seriously damaged. Even if you become the queen, you won't be able to keep the family reputation!
Of course, for these close servants, it is especially important that nothing happens to Gu Zhen.
After all, they had managed to get to their current position and gained Gu Zhen's trust. At this time, Gu Zhen rushed to the side hall without his life. If something happened, what would they do
Even if the new queen is also a daughter of the Gu family, will she use them as highly as Gu Zhen? At most, use some of them!
Who can guarantee that he will not be eliminated and sent to the edge
A group of waiters racked their brains and exchanged words with each other to finally stabilize the unstable Queen temporarily.
Seeing this, everyone breathed a sigh of relief, hoping from the bottom of their hearts that the two princes must be in peace!
At this time, news came from outside that the thirteenth prince, the son of Concubine Jing, had a rash on his body.
