Yun Fenghuang let everyone disperse and suddenly sighed, feeling that it was so boring.
She looked sideways at the dressing table not far away, and a beautiful face was clearly reflected in the crystal mirror.
He entered the palace at the age of fifteen, so he is now twenty-one.
Over the past six years, Yun Fenghuang's eyebrows and eyes have basically grown, and the childishness and innocence he once had have been wiped away by the storms of the past.
Although he is still young at this age and not yet considered old, but...
She suddenly felt tired.
I remembered that when I first entered the palace, I paid my respects to Yuan Niang. At that time, Yuan Niang was only two years older than she is now.
Emperor Qingmei, who was still Concubine Yue at that time, disliked her very much. Apart from Concubine Zhenxi, in the final analysis, he thought she was too young and beautiful, and was he worried that Chunjia would be snatched away
And Yun Fenghuang did take away Chunjia's favor from Yuan Niang.
It has been occupied to this day.
She doesn't think any of the ten newcomers from the previous dynasty can imitate her back then.
But how long will Chunjia live this year
He is eight years older than her and is twenty-nine years old.
It is the time of youth and strength.
Even for many years afterwards, he would be considered to be in the prime of life.
Unless he follows the short-lived path of his biological father, otherwise... sooner or later, the newcomer who kneels down in front of her to say goodbye will be Xie Meng's age, Zhao Qing's age, or even younger.
By that time, no matter how good she is at looking good, how can she maintain the youthfulness and vigor that is unique to teenage girls
Even if you take 10,000 steps back, you can still hold on...
Chunjia, aren't you tired of looking at it
Twenty-one-year-old Yun Fenghuang can still deal with the ambitious newcomer with ease, but what about thirty-one? What about forty-one? Or even fifty-one sixty-one
By then, if Chunjia is still here, can she still maintain her current status
Don't talk about the love that has been with you for many years, it is useless.
Yuan Yuniang and Chunjia are childhood sweethearts who don’t get along day and night? Then what
Not to mention the capital we have gone through ups and downs together, who can accompany the emperor for longer and more distance than the Empress Dowager Yuan
What about now
Chunjia's qualifications as king were undoubtedly excellent. Unlike Xiaozong, who had been taught by Shenzong's words and deeds since childhood, but from the perspective of the means of controlling his ministers and gaining power, he was enough to surpass Xiaozong.
This may be great for the people of the world and the Gongxiang family.
but…
For those around him, it may not be a good thing.
After all, in Chunjia's considerations, the overall situation is always the most important.
A prosperous age and leaving a name in history are his pursuits.
Mothers, queens, concubines, and heirs all have to stay behind.
Yun Fenghuang was a little confused for a moment. She couldn't even curse Chunjia to die early because the fifteenth prince was not yet a full week old. She needed Chunjia to continue to protect mother and son from the wind and rain, even before the fifteenth prince came to the vassal and took the position of crown prince. Yun Fenghuang also hopes that Chunjia will live for a few more years, because although she feels that there is unlikely to be a problem with the qualifications of her and Chunjia's children, she also knows that it is impossible for all good things to happen to her.
What if the fifteenth prince grows up, has less talent and less ability, and Chunjia lets go, who knows who will get an advantage
Anyway, the current Yun Fenghuang is not capable of listening to politics behind the curtain and controlling the civil and military forces of the dynasty.
Even Chunjia himself, who ascended the throne on the 15th year, had to hide his strength and bide his time for eight years before the attack occurred.
The best thing is to wait until the fifteenth prince can take charge of the government affairs, and Chunjia should go, leaving mother and son to do whatever they want... Well, she is the only one who can do whatever she wants. As for the fifteenth prince, for the comfort of her own mother, it is better to stay in the old age. It's better to stay on the throne honestly.
Except for a few talented emperors, most of the emperors can stand alone, no matter how old Chunjia is now.
Even this is based on good qualifications.
In other words, she still has to win over Chunjia for almost thirty years!
Thirty years...
So the question becomes, at the age of thirty-one, how will she deal with the menacing newcomers? At the age of forty-one, how will she deal with newcomers who are younger than her own children? At the age of fifty-one, if Prince Qin's fate is good, the new bride should be about the same age as her granddaughter.
This is really...
No matter how desperate you are.
The imperial concubine didn't sleep that night, and she looked a little haggard when she woke up the next day. When the people below saw it, they wanted to ask, but they didn't dare to say anything. In the end, Qingren just suggested in a low voice: "Would you like to try this powder?"
Because the emperor did not come to the harem now, and Yun Fenghuang relied on her beauty and usually did not put on powder, she did not object to the Qing people's suggestion at this moment, but she did not say anything, so the attendants did not dare to ask.
After a while, the concubines who came to discuss the promotion of the throne noticed that they were exchanging glances with each other, and no one dared to make irresponsible remarks.
But something was secretly spread out, saying that although the imperial concubine didn't seem to care much about the new couple on the surface, she was actually feeling very uncomfortable in her heart.
Otherwise, how could it happen that one night had passed and now I was black and blue
He even hurriedly presides over the promotion of the Sixth House, just because he is afraid that some of the newcomers will follow in his footsteps, quickly promoted to occupy a high position, and then unable to move.
When Xu Xuxin and others heard these words, they were scared on their lips, but somewhat happy in their hearts.
After all, Concubine Min is an absolute legend in this dynasty. Who among them has not imagined that they can become the second Concubine Min
Now that I heard that I could actually make Concubine Min sleepless with worry, how could I not be excited
But Chunjia also knew about this.
Originally, the emperor planned to summon Xu Xuxin to sleep with him that night. After hearing the news, he was silent for a while, but then asked someone to send Xu Xuxin away.
"Is your Majesty tired?" Seeing this, the chamberlain asked cautiously, "Should we just arrange it like this, or should we replace it with another girl?"
The emperor remained silent. After a moment, he slowly said, "I'll order someone to get a set of Yan Yin's clothes. Let's go and see who is guarding the corner gate?"
The chamberlain was about to agree, but when he thought about it carefully, he was horrified and quickly knelt down: "Your Majesty, the imperial doctor said that it is not suitable for the harem now..."
"My concubines and children are all in the harem, and I haven't seen anything wrong these days." Chunjia said lightly, "Qin Tianjian said that we should choose a good day, and the ministers said it was for my own good... I have listened, why? ? Go there in private. If you don’t tell me, I won’t tell you. Who knows?!”
Because Yan Yin had been in contact with acne scars before, and later developed acne scars, and after he recovered, he has not been able to return to Chun Jia.
This chamberlain took over and served him for half a year. After all, he didn't get along with Yan Yin as long as he did. He didn't dare to say anything when he saw this.
She had no choice but to follow the emperor's instructions, disguise herself for him, and enter the harem through a corner door in plain sight.
... In the Huanhua Palace, Yun Fenghuang had fallen asleep, but she was woken up by the palace servants, who told her with surprise: "Your Majesty, your Majesty is here quietly, please get up quickly!"
She hesitated for a while before turning over and sitting up, and subconsciously went to the dressing table to dress up.
However, it was late at night, and it was getting cold today, and Chunjia came quietly again. How could he wait outside for a long time
After asking the palace maids to hurriedly put on their coats, the emperor had already opened the door and walked in: "It's so late, what are you packing? There are earth dragons burning on the left and right, so let's just leave it at that."
Just tell everyone on the left and right to step back.
Yun Fenghuang looked at him and wanted to ask out loud. Why did you come here if you weren't enjoying the warm fragrance of nephrite in front
But seeing Chunjia lose weight, her eyes looking tired, and then thinking about how he would come quietly... My heart softened, and I just pursed my lips and whispered: "Why did you come here suddenly?"
"Didn't King Qin and King Jin get better a long time ago? People below also said that you can hold up better than the queen." Chunjia came over and shook her wrist, frowned slightly and said with dissatisfaction, "I thought you were really good. , what’s the result? This arm is so thin that it can be broken with just a pinch. This look on your face... maybe you haven’t slept well in the past two days?”
"It's okay, but the children are asking what they are doing and why they can't go out? What are they doing that they can't go to school for? They asked Your Majesty again, why haven't their father come to see them, and why haven't they been allowed to see his father?" Yun Fenghuang turned sideways, leaving him with a silhouette that had become much thinner and colder in outline. His eyes gradually became watery and he choked, "I'm coaxing you so much that I feel like I can't get out." Got it!"
Chunjia felt guilty, stretched out her hand to hold her in her arms, and comforted her: "How can it be possible that I can't get out... Didn't I promise that it would be fine in the spring?"
"It's not that the children are thinking about you. I'm coaxing them to be happy day by day. Seeing them disappointed again and again, I don't have the energy to say it anymore." Yun Fenghuang whimpered and stretched out his hand to tug on his sleeves. , said sadly, "Moreover, King Qin only managed to save his life at the age of fifteen... I have been in fear all day and night these days, fearing that one day someone from the palace will come over and tell me... something happened again. What happened to Zhaoqing, Xiaoqi or Xiaojiu? And although Meng'er and the others are not the emperor's heirs, they are still distressed... Girls, if something like this happens, they not only have to consider their lives, but also their lives. What to do in the future if there are any traces... I really can’t think about those days anymore!!!”
"But what you said is right. Your Majesty couldn't come to the harem at that time. What would happen to the children if I collapsed? The queen was generous, but the third prince, King Chu, and the tenth prince were all at that time... The queen had too much time to take care of herself. Others Man, who will take care of the children in Xuanqing Palace on my behalf?"
She looked sad, with tears streaming down her face, but her heart was as calm as ice and snow. Feeling Chunjia's increasing guilt and pity, she sighed logically, "So I'm looking away now. As long as the children are normal, everything else will be fine." … Nothing really matters!”
Chunjia deliberately eased the atmosphere and said with a smile: "Is it true that nothing is important?"
Seeing the imperial concubine nodding affirmatively, he chuckled and whispered, "What about me? I'm not important, either?"
Yun Fenghuang didn't seem to expect that he would say this. He was obviously startled, and immediately pushed him away, humming: "I want to treat Your Majesty as important, but I have to see if His Majesty wants it! I heard that these days, Your Majesty is in the previous court, but there are many flowers of explanation... I have told the children to wait until they can meet you, and don't mention the grievances they have suffered these days. I have to understand that you have gone to the front for people like me. It’s full of suffering and hard work. What’s the result? Your Majesty is really working hard, but whether this hard work is for people like me or for the newcomers, probably only Your Majesty himself knows!”
Chunjia smiled and sighed: "She is already the mother and concubine of several children, but she is still so jealous."
Seeing the imperial concubine rolling her eyes at him, he explained helplessly, "The people below were making a lot of noise about this matter, and I found it annoying, so I took a few of them at will... I'll just go back and fill up the palace. You can discuss with the queen how to deal with it." They are just waiters."
Yun Fenghuang snorted: "If we follow the rules, these people won't be able to get too high a position. When the time comes, your Majesty, won't you feel sad?"
The emperor muttered: "What are you feeling sorry for? It's too late for me to feel sorry for you! Where can you give so much time to idle people?"
"You don't have time to feel sorry for the idle people, but you have time to sleep with those many idle people?!" Yun Fenghuang cursed fiercely in his heart, but finally relieved his face and said angrily: "Your Majesty likes to say these sweet words to coax me, who knows? Did you say the same thing in front of the newcomers?"
Chunjia laughed and said, "Coax them? Are they worthy?"
This is the truth. The emperor has not even coaxed the empress of the Yuan Dynasty, Ji Lingzi. He has grown up to this point, and he has been coaxed by him personally. In addition to some important ministers of the previous dynasty, the harem only consists of the two empress dowagers, Yuan Yuniang, and Yun Fenghuang. Oh, there is also Gu Zhen, but Gu Zhen only gets this kind of treatment occasionally.
The newcomer this time was from a low background and was brought in purely to please him. How could he spend time and thought coaxing him
But Yun Fenghuang thought that now that he was still in his youth, and the newcomers were not particularly outstanding, the emperor would not really think about the past while he was trying new things. In the future... it was really hard to say!
She lowered her eyes, confirmed again that her plan was correct, pursed her lips and said, "I know His Majesty feels sorry for me... Your Majesty is the best."
Taking advantage of the dangerous situation between King Qin and King Jin, as well as the separation from Chunjia for nearly half a year, it is time to change his temperament to make it easier for the third prince to act!
