After sending out the envoy sent by Xie Wuzheng, Yun Fenghuang held a round fan in his hand and let out a long sigh.
The eyes of Qing Ren and other attendants were a little red, and they whispered: "My Lady, this is a good thing. It is because God has never cut off the blood of the Tenth Young Master."
"... If God is really merciful, why didn't any of the many legitimate sons of Brother Ten survive?" Yun Fenghuang said with a bitter smile, "When I left Beidi, Brother Ten's eldest son and second son all enrolled in school. I remember that they were both well-behaved, polite, sensible and progressive good children. The two little brothers even fought with their cousins over me... At that time, I thought they would see each other every two years, but I didn't take it seriously. Who knew that it would actually happen? Is it the eternal farewell?"
She still has feelings for her older nephews. After all, she has watched them grow up, and after the Xie Fenghuan incident came out, these nephews and nieces were very protective of their biological aunt. Yun Fenghuang is not really hard-hearted, so how can he not cherish such a junior
I haven't done much in the past two years. One is that I am busy with many things and can't spare any time; the other is that I feel that my nephews are still young. Now Xie Wuzheng and others are still running for their futures and have not yet put in the effort. When cultivating the next generation.
I originally thought that these legitimate sons, the Xie family, could not be treated badly, so they would be allowed to enter school slowly, and after two years, they would be arranged to come to the imperial capital to gain experience and see if they could join the disciples of a famous Confucian scholar and increase their qualifications and skills. At the same time, he was also trying to win over a sect... He had already thought about it, but who knew he would be gone.
Although Yun Fenghuang knew that what the Qing people said was reasonable, it was better for Xie Xishi to leave an illegitimate son who could inherit the bloodline than to have the male heir extinct.
Although according to her status, Xie Xiaoyu will have many children in the future, and it is inevitable that she will adopt adopted heirs for her biological brothers. However, the etiquette of adopted children is the same as that of biological children, and they are from the same family after all.
Even if the illegitimate child's background is not in the public eye, he will always be the biological child of Xie Xishi. I guess Xie Xishi can also be comforted by it
… Anyway, that’s all I can do to comfort myself now.
Yun Fenghuang couldn't help but sigh again: "It's just that Brother Twenty-One killed his biological mother. I don't know if the child will feel resentful when he knows the truth when he grows up?"
"How is this possible?" Qingren said quickly, "You just heard that his biological mother is not a good one! She has been teaching the young master a lot! This is also because the young master is lucky and was found by the consort in time. Otherwise, he would still be there. I don’t know how much suffering I have to suffer! Even if the mother is the biological mother, the mother is unkind, why should the young master make the serious blood relatives sad for her? The young master is only so old, it is not reasonable to start studying now. Late. Where will I be ignorant in the future?"
"It's better not to ignore it. Who knows what that child is thinking? It's not like there are no such pure and filial people." Yun Fenghuang sighed, "Although I am not a filial daughter, I can't guarantee that the tenth brother will be so lucky. A son of twenty-four filial piety! Let me tell you later, when Sister-in-law 18 is raising this child, be more careful and don’t let him go astray!"
Having said that, she wasn't too worried.
After all, whether she or Xie Wuzheng, if they can't even train a seven-year-old child, then don't mess around.
But I was not angry at all.
Like in the past, how could their legitimate children care about such illegitimate children living outside the country
After all, the serious nephews and nieces at home couldn’t care less, so who would care about the outside world
This turned out to be a good thing. Not only did we have to take care of him, but we also had to prevent him from being ungrateful in the future!
After being silent for a while, she couldn't help but ask again, "Other brothers... are there others like this outside?"
The Qingren thought for a while and said hesitantly: "Since the consort has found the child for the tenth son, he must have considered a similar situation. When I was in front of my wife, I actually knew that there were several young masters in the house. Although there are wives and concubines in the backyard, there is still some fun outside... Although not everyone is like the Tenth Young Master, and the blood of the Xie family is outside, but... among many people, it is indeed unlikely to say that the Tenth Young Master has the same flesh and blood outside. Possibly. However, since the prince-in-law didn't mention it, it must not be certain yet? After all, the Xie family is now in dwindling numbers, so I guess. Anyone who recognizes his ancestors and returns to the clan must be vigorously supported by the empress and the prince-in-law. The Prince Consort must be more cautious."
"That's true." Yun Fenghuang sighed and said, "Forget it, I feel panicked when I think of these things. Back then, my direct sisters-in-law were not bad to me. They were all good people. My daughter, who hasn’t been a well-educated, well-educated husband and raised child since she came in? How come they haven’t left any of their biological flesh and blood, but the scoundrels outside have turned out to be a blessing in disguise?”
"My Lady, please don't think like that. You think that the young master might be the son of the Tenth Lady, but he was reincarnated in the wrong child due to a misunderstanding, and then he returned to the Tenth Lady's lap after several years apart?" the Qing man consoled him. He said, "As for the scoundrels outside, isn't his mother gone? It can be seen that he is unlucky and cannot afford such blessings."
In other words, Yun Fenghuang had been preoccupied with the affairs of Fuyang County these past two days. She was about to call Chen Jing over to inquire about the details, but someone from the palace came to report first and said: "Flowers and Birds" The envoy has returned and is now reporting to the Queen at Woxia Tower!"
"So soon?" Both the master and the servant were stunned, and Yun Fenghuang immediately said, "It can be seen that they are all prepared. The so-called sending flower and bird envoys is just a show."
Let someone prepare the chariot and go to Woxia Tower to listen to the report together.
When she passed by, a group of flower and bird envoys had already said something.
Seeing the imperial concubine coming, I had to tell her from the beginning... This story was actually nothing fancy. It was just that they followed the queen's order to go to the countryside to find a good family son with good moral character and outstanding appearance, and then on a certain day of a certain month of a certain year. I found a candidate somewhere, who's name, how, and so on.
Yun Fenghuang listened lazily, and then asked the queen: "This time, I don't know how the queen plans to arrange it?"
"I am thinking that your Majesty cares about the country and does not miss the harem." Gu Zhen glanced at her and said slowly, "In this case, there is no need to rush these newcomers after they arrive. It would be better if they were placed in Xiuzhuo Palace. Train them until they are sensible and know the rules, and then it will be safer to serve the emperor. Otherwise, they will not be like the Wen family and others before, who have not yet been promoted, but each one has more evil intentions than the last!"
He frowned again and said, "This will prevent these people from being young and ignorant and offending Concubine An and others."
Yun Fenghuang said: "Your Majesty has good intentions, but women's time is fleeting, but it cannot last too long. Otherwise, I'm afraid it will make people's hearts wander even more?"
Gu Zhen said: "That's the reason. I think it's not too much to ask them to learn the rules and etiquette for three months?"
In three months, it is not the most important thing how many rules those poor and well-off families can learn.
The most important thing is to understand the situation in the harem, and don't sit back and watch the sky, and be arrogant and arrogant in the wrong place.
Yun Fenghuang had no objection to this, so the two concubines discussed a series of issues such as the status and residence of the new people.
Regarding status, most newcomers must be like Yi Xingen's group, starting from picking girls.
Only a few people who are related to high positions and receive special care can be exempted.
But one thing that the concubines have a tacit understanding of is that none of the newlyweds have the title of concubine!
Even the ones with the highest status are the beauties.
According to the hierarchy of the harem, a beautiful woman is a noble, a noble woman is Rong Hua, a concubine is a concubine, and a concubine is the lowest concubine.
This means that even if this beauty becomes pregnant and gives birth to a child soon after entering the palace, she can only stay as a concubine without any additional favors.
After all, both the queen and Yun Fenghuang had ulterior motives in arranging these people to enter the palace without Chunjia mentioning it, and they were not serious about finding rivals for their favor.
Even if Gu Zhen is basically unfavored now, she will not rush to seduce the emperor.
Not to mention that after mentioning the special case of Yun Fenghuang, who among the queens still doesn’t know how to guard against the next Yun Fenghuang appearing
"Although the weather is still hot now, the newcomers come from all over the world. They can't follow us back and forth. It is not only troublesome, but also makes them confused." The Queen finally said, "Why don't we let them go directly to Xiuzhuo Palace. The body and bones of a very young child have been confirmed by the accompanying imperial physician, so I think he will be fine."
Then he stopped talking.
Yun Fenghuang saw it and asked, "Do you have any other orders?"
"Not really." The queen thought for a while and said, "I just remembered King Yi. Originally, according to the tacit agreement, His Majesty only had one brother, and it was necessary to leave him with a few concubines who were suitable for childbearing. However, King Yi and his wife had not yet given birth. Filial piety is one, and the second one is that this move will definitely displease Princess Yi... Let's forget it."
Mentioning Gong Xiangxiao and his wife, Yun Fenghuang also said a few words casually: "They have been observing filial piety for some time, and I don't know how they are now? The King of Qin paid his respects to my concubine two days ago, and also mentioned the Marquis of Yongchun. Considering their age, Is it possible for Marquis Yongchun to discuss marriage now? Even if he is still under filial piety, the empress really has to consider it for him. Otherwise, if we wait until he is under filial piety before negotiating, there will be no delay."
The queen said: "I think so too... It's just that we are currently surrounded by many things and there is no suitable candidate."
She pondered for a moment, and tactfully tested whether Yun Fenghuang intended to marry his niece Yongchun Marquis
Yun Fenghuang shook his head directly and said: "I am from a humble background, and my niece is spoiled at home. How can I serve the Marquis of Yongchun? But I will let down the good intentions of the empress."
If nothing had happened to Mrs. Xie, she might have considered which niece she liked better to be the main wife of Marquis Yongchun.
But now, there are only a few nieces and nephews who are close by blood, and every marriage must be used wisely.
That Gong Xiangzhen seemed to be of noble blood, but Yun Fenghuang knew very well that because he was the regent's son, no matter how friendly the emperor showed himself to his cousin, there was no way he would be unguarded. Diaphragm should be.
Following this marquis, there is no problem in becoming rich and powerful in the future, but it is absolutely impossible to be in power.
Or, being in power will only make you die faster.
Yun Fenghuang didn't have so many nieces to spare now, so how could he choose him
The queen was obviously a little happy when she heard this. After confirming again and again that Yun Fenghuang was not interested in recruiting Duke Xiang Zhen as her niece's son-in-law, she did not hide it and said with a smile: "I have several clan girls in this palace who are about the same age as Marquis Yongchun. I wonder if they will get along..."
"What's the point?" Yun Fenghuang said with a half-smile but not a smile, "The left and right girls' schools are open, and there aren't many people there now... Why don't you arrange someone to go to the girls' school? If you meet the Marquis more times in the future, you will naturally know whether you are compatible with him or not." ”
After chatting about Marquis Yongchun's marriage for a while, Yun Fenghuang resigned and left.
Back at Lanzhou Yeyu Pavilion, I must send someone to inquire about the situation of this new group of people.
After making arrangements, Chen Jing said to her: "Madam, it seems that the newlyweds this time are all from poor families and good families. The few who come from well-off families also have limited resources... In terms of appearance and appearance, they are not. There are some of them. But I have heard that the most beautiful ones are far away from the Queen."
"Why is it that the chief steward can't speak anymore as he gets older?" As soon as he finished speaking, the Qing people next to him quickly scolded, "What kind of screwdriver is that? Is it worthy of comparison with our queen?"
Chen Jing knew he had made a mistake and hurriedly admitted his mistake.
Yun Fenghuang didn't care, and said: "So it seems that this time there is no beauty like Yi Shi?"
Seeing Chen Jing nodding, he smiled, his eyes flickered for a moment, and he said calmly, "Let the girls in our family calm down and don't think too much. It's serious to learn the rules in Xiuzhuo Palace... After all, it's not as good as in the palace. Even if I am here at home, I am not the Queen after all! Even if I am the Queen, it is impossible for me to say that all my wishes will come true. I know that girls from the distant branch of the Xie family or the Jiang family are somewhat squeamish. Yes. It's no wonder that the one who beats children and calls slaves and maids has always been in a small place, how could he not be a little arrogant? However, after entering the palace, he should restrain himself, so he pretended to be somewhat restrained. Especially for me. She’s Xie’s daughter, do you understand?”
After all, Xie has nothing now, not even her people.
As long as Yun Fenghuang still has hope in his brothers, he can't let the girls from the distant branch ruin the Xie family's reputation.
Even she is pretending to be virtuous and virtuous now, let alone others
"Don't worry, Madam. When I sent the message back, I warned you again and again that the people we have chosen are all sensible people." Chen Jing said quickly, "There will be no more stupid ones."
Yun Fenghuang nodded. With her current position and power, there was no need to pay too much attention to this matter.
It was just out of blood relatives, guilt for the destruction of the Xie family, and desire for revenge that I paid more attention to it personally.
Otherwise, this kind of newcomers are not sensible if they are not sensible. If a batch of them die and then a batch of them are selected, how big of a deal is that
At this moment, after giving some instructions and seeing that Chen Jing had already considered it very carefully, he complimented him a few words. Then he remembered something and asked, "After Aunt Roukun and nephew Roukun left, it seems that no one has taken over for the second princess and the sixth prince yet?"
Chen Jing hurriedly said: "In my words, it is indeed true! Previously, the Empress wanted Concubine De to take care of her on her behalf, but Concubine De insisted not to do so... Later, things became more complicated, and perhaps the Empress also forgot about it."
"..." Yun Fenghuang thought for a moment and said, "Then the sixth prince can just pay it back, and the second prince..."
She pondered for a moment, "This child's biological mother has a close relationship with me. Let's go find out about this child's nature."
Before, she didn't consider these two children at all.
After all, Yun Fenghuang is not short of heirs now.
In addition to the biological prince, he also raised three princes and a princess. Why take over two of them who are already a little old and know that she is not their mother's heir
But thinking about the future and the blood feud he shouldered, Yun Fenghuang couldn't help but feel that if he had one more child, even if the child himself didn't live up to expectations, as long as he lived and grew up, would he be able to get married
Even if both children are short-lived and don't live to grow up, that doesn't matter.
How could something happen to the Tian family bloodline for no reason
Someone has to be responsible.
For example, her enemies and enemies.
And to be honest, even though the status of the children raised by Qin King Zhaoqing from the ground was not as good as that of his biological King Jin in Yun Fenghuang's heart, they were somewhat sincere in raising them to such a large age.
If necessary in the future, Yun Fenghuang may not be able to abandon them or even deliberately plot them as chess pieces.
But I must feel uncomfortable.
But if it were the second princess and the sixth prince...
Then she would be very calm.
"Does the empress plan to adopt the second princess?" The Qing people did not know what she was thinking, so they reminded him with some worry, "Although your highness is young, you are very worried! And your highness Princess Zhaoqing... Now there is only one princess, Cheng Huan. Your Majesty, Your Highness has been causing trouble to His Highness the Seventh Prince and His Highness the Ninth Prince. If the Second Princess comes to our place, I’m afraid Her Royal Highness Princess Zhaoqing will be the first to agree?"
"Where can I find a child to make decisions for me in such matters?" Yun Fenghuang said disapprovingly, "Just coax her a bit. Besides, if I adopt the second princess, it would be a good thing for Zhao Qing to have no say."
Do you really think being a daughter to Concubine Min is a good job
She is not a queen.
Moreover, Gu Zhen was not without pressure and betrayed his heir.
"Anyway, let's go and check." The imperial concubine sighed softly and said, "Check more carefully and find out her temperament and thoughts... Let me weigh this child's ability. If she is a promising person, why should I waste it? Her talent?"
Chen Jing did not dare to neglect the instructions, and came back within two days to report to the imperial concubine that the second princess was very clever and intelligent.
Since the passing of the Concubine Xian, she and the Sixth Prince have lost the care of their mother and concubine. Not only have their lives plummeted, but they have also been stumbling...
Under this situation, the Sixth Prince would only endure and became more and more silent.
However, the second princess was not a good person for being serious. Whenever her subordinates were negligent, they would make a fuss and threaten to sue her father, the queen, the empress, and the concubine and concubine in charge!
Because she was not a favored heir, the officials in the palace were very busy these days and had no time to intervene.
The person in charge of the palace wanted to take advantage of Qiao at first, and tactfully threatened her not to mess around.
As a result, the second princess didn't accept this trick at all. When the steward's tone was a little harsh, she held up the scissors and tried to kill herself. She claimed that as a bloodline of the Gongxiang family, she had to be angered by a slave. She couldn't survive this life. !
This move is not something that the palace people can bear. After all, she is also a serious person. If she is really gone, the emperor will not personally take care of her, but the queen will also take care of her.
When the whole story is found out, can the queen spare them
Therefore, those who serve her dare not relax at all, even the second princess.
On the other hand, the sixth prince who lived with her did not have an easy life.
Chen Jing's tone was strange: "But the Second Princess has no intention of helping the Sixth Prince, and even..."
Yun Fenghuang narrowed his eyes slightly and said quietly: "You even took the lead in bullying the Sixth Prince?"
Chen Jing smiled bitterly and said, "Isn't it? I don't even understand. Even if the second princess doesn't think that they are both from the end of the world, they are particularly good with the sixth prince. After all, they are half-brothers, so why should they add insult to injury? ?”
