Gu Zhen was startled when she heard this. She was just trying not to make the child too sad, but she didn't notice that her words were a little inconsistent. Moreover, this contradiction was caught by the third prince, and she came to the conclusion that what was aimed at him was Concubine Min’s conclusion.
"... As for Concubine Min, when your biological mother was still alive, you had some grievances with her, but they were not profound." Gu Zhen hesitated for a moment, and finally said truthfully, "She doesn't have a good impression of your brothers at most. But they may not deliberately target you. In fact, I don’t know who hates you in their hearts and who will target you. After all, the Ji family had a lot of power in the past and had many grievances in the harem. After so many years , it has long been difficult to distinguish between friend and foe. Perhaps the elders of the Ji family know this, but I am not the daughter of the Ji family, so they don’t know much."
The third prince asked her what specific grudges her biological mother had with Concubine Min
Gu Zhen tried to persuade her for a few words, but when the child persisted, she said: "What I remember is that when Concubine Min first entered the palace, she won the first place for some reason. Among the newcomers who entered the palace at that time, there was a She is your biological mother's direct cousin, that is, your cousin. She is both talented and beautiful, and has a good background. She should have been the most eye-catching. However, due to Concubine Min, she failed to get His Majesty's attention. Your biological mother and Your cousin and aunt are very close, so when I saw this situation, I naturally felt unhappy... So one time, in front of Empress Yuan, she mentioned Concubine Min's maiden name and talked about it for a few words. Concubine Min was very articulate and the third palace There are not many people in the Sixth Academy who can speak highly of her. In addition, the Queen of Yuan Dynasty, who is your biological aunt, relies on her status and does not bother to bully Concubine Min, who was born in a humble family and has a low status. Let’s just let it go…”
"Later, Concubine Min was favored. It seems that she criticized your biological mother once."
"But she made a lot of enemies during her promotion, and soon she no longer cared about your biological mother... Based on my understanding of Concubine Min, I should not care about this matter, let alone anger you brothers. After all, Concubine Min actually didn't suffer any loss when she competed with your biological mother, so there's no need to feel resentful."
The third prince whispered: "But I also heard private discussions among the palace people, saying that Concubine Min is narrow-minded and will be punished. Many of her previous high positions were framed because she offended her, and she ended up in ruins. Is it possible? Concubine Min has never forgotten what happened back then, even if her biological mother has passed away, she still refuses to let go?"
Gu Zhen's heart skipped a beat. What she just told the third prince was true. She really didn't think that Yun Fenghuang would have trouble with the second prince and the third prince because of Ji Muzi's past troubles.
If Yun Fenghuang wanted to do this, why would he need to delay it until today
Moreover, generally speaking, people who have suffered a loss will keep it in mind or forget about things like holding grudges.
But Concubine Min basically doesn't need to take revenge overnight, or at most she returns her money back with interest every few days. Why does she still need to hold a grudge against Ji Muzi
It would be nice if Ji Muzi didn't hold any grudge against her.
So he quickly said: "There is absolutely no such thing! Don't listen to that bitch's nonsense! When Concubine Min first entered the palace, she was a little narrow-minded, but now and then, at that time, she was from a humble background and her status was It's not that high. If she doesn't have some cruel methods, how can she frighten the Sixth Palace? If the Sixth Palace is not afraid of her, she may not even be able to suppress the palace servants she serves, let alone plan to seal the concubine? In the past two years, Concubine Min has been How about it? It’s not like you’ve never been in contact with her, so why should you retaliate? Hasn’t she always been very kind to you and Xiao Shi?”
After a pause, "It's true that she doesn't like you now. But it's just because you compared her with the King of Qin. Concubine Min has always been competitive. I heard that she has been ill these past two days. When I explain my lessons to King Qin, I am afraid that King Qin will lose to you again next time. As for the grievances between your mother and concubine, don’t think too much about it, it’s impossible.”
Now it's just that Chunjia is tired of the third prince, and the queen has a headache.
If this child provokes Yun Fenghuang again, then... Gu Zhen felt that he might not be able to protect him...
Offending Yun Fenghuang is even more terrifying than offending Chunjia. Chunjia is still his biological father no matter what.
He didn't care about the twin princes, but he still followed the rules and left them to his concubine to raise them according to the standards of a prince. He never said that he deliberately deducted anything, let alone let these two children die. Even if the third prince was young and ignorant and had conflicts with Shengjia, Gu Zhen felt that with Chunjia's personality, the best he could do was to neglect the two children in private, and then choose a corner and throw them away as the king.
But if Yun Fenghuang is offended, and she is not the biological mother or adoptive mother of the second and third princes, why would she be reluctant to part with her
The key is that Chunjia still listens to her.
There were many examples of emperors in the previous dynasties who listened to the slanderous words of their beloved concubine and allowed her to harm the emperor's heirs. Gu Zhen did not dare to bet that Chunjia's emphasis on his own flesh and blood could surpass his doting on his beloved concubine.
Therefore, he pulled the third prince and emphasized repeatedly that Concubine Min was definitely not his enemy or enemy!
Finally, seeing that the child resigned obediently, Gu Zhen pinched his forehead and asked the attendant: "Follow him and have a look. Also, keep an eye on him in the next few days and don't let him have a conflict with the Xuanqing Palace!"
Both sides hurriedly agreed, and then advised the Queen: "My Majesty has been extremely benevolent and righteous to His Highness the Third Prince. If His Highness does not listen to the advice, I will inform His Highness of your illness and stay here for the time being. This will also allow His Highness the King of Chu to have some peace of mind." A companion."
"Although it is not necessary for a prince to have good academic performance to be crowned king, Bing'er is very talented, so he is not allowed to go beyond his brothers. I already feel sorry for him." Gu Zhen sighed and said, "If we still call for an excuse to detain him, How aggrieved is it to be in the Yanfu Palace with the ignorant King Chu all day long? Moreover, according to the rules, the princess can live in the harem until she descends, but the prince must move to the front at the age of ten. Originally, Bing'er was not favored by His Majesty. , he has been bullied among his brothers. Now he is not allowed to go to school, and he has lost the friendship of classmates. When they go to live together in Qiantou, won't he become more and more out of tune with his brothers? In this way, when the time comes, he will be crowned king and vassal, I want to ask the court for something, but there is no one to talk to... What should I do?"
If she hadn't thought about it this way, she would have wanted the third prince not to go to school!
It's not like he can't teach this child, and the prince doesn't need to take the first prize anyway.
After a while, a chamberlain came to report that the third prince returned to his room and secretly cried for a long time, and lost his temper and threw some things.
But maybe it's because the prince has a soft temperament, or maybe he's afraid of making a fuss and letting the queen know about it. In short, the things he threw were bags, bedding and the like that were easy to clean up and wouldn't get damaged. And he even tidied up afterward, and when he calmed down, he went out as if nothing had happened.
This made the queen feel even more pity, and sighed: "Why was this poor child reincarnated in Ji's belly? What if..."
I originally wanted to say that it would be fine if it was my own flesh and blood, but when I thought that I couldn't give birth, I sighed and changed my words, "If I were reincarnated in the belly of a concubine, it would definitely not be like this."
Now the most favored by the emperor, King Qin or Zhaoqing, which biological mother is more noble
Even if the Yi family is ranked as the ninth concubine, is it not promoted by Yun Fenghuang? Otherwise, what’s the point? For a high position such as Queen, the dust can be knocked away with just a flip of the hand.
… Because the Yanfu Palace was sorted out by the Imperial City Secretary, it took several days for this turmoil to spread to Yun Fenghuang.
When she found out, she frowned slightly, summoned the Qing people and asked, "Are you going to chat with His Majesty?"
Qingren quickly knelt down to apologize, saying that it was all his own idea, and begged her not to anger others. At the end, he began to wipe his tears: "If it were normal, I would never dare to make such independent decisions! But the empress has suffered too much in the past two years. Oh! My maid is still frightened when I think of you vomiting blood that day... His Royal Highness the King of Jin is still so young. If we only rely on the Prince Consort and the others for the family's grudges, when can we hope for revenge? Therefore, the empress must not let anything happen to her! My maid really can't. How dare you ask me to work and worry like this!"
Yun Fenghuang originally planned to deal with it harshly, because what she hated most was that her subordinates were disobedient and acted randomly under the guise of thinking about her.
But he fell silent upon hearing this.
After a while, she said slowly: "Forget it this time, I won't do anything to you next time. I will just send you back to your hometown and guard Xie's tomb!"
Seeing Qing Ren trembling in response, he slowed down his tone and said, "The queen confessed to the third prince. It is said that the third prince seems to have some resentment towards me..."
Qingren couldn't help but said: "This must be the queen's intention! She raised the third prince with her own hands, and at such a young age, it's not something she can just hate and love whom?!"
Naturally, this was based on the fact that Yun Fenghuang raised King Qin and the others, so he speculated that the queen must have some agenda in raising the third prince. When the child has not grown up, isn't there a way to control the happiness, anger, sorrow, and joy of the child
Yun Fenghuang knew that the queen was soft-hearted and had no foresight, and she treated the children under her knees as if they were her own flesh and blood.
If the queen knew that the third prince was unclean, she might even think of killing someone with a borrowed knife.
But she probably didn't know that she would most likely not lead the third prince in this way, and would even prevent the third prince from confronting her.
She didn't bother to tell the Qing people about this, and just said: "The third prince is young, how old is he? The queen can guide him, why can't we? Doesn't he know his mother and concubine now? Then he doesn't want to know , who was the one who forced his mother and concubine to death? You must know that before and after his mother and concubine left, I did not get any benefits from their mother and son! On the contrary, the queen, who was still a concubine at that time, was old, She is not favored. If she continues, the end will be dire! Furthermore, the Empress Yuan is the biological aunt of the second prince and the third prince. After the Empress Yuan dies, the current empress will take over the throne... From this point of view, who is most likely to target Ji? Family?"
