The ridicule towards Jiang Ruigu in the palace was short-lived. After all, as Chunjia visited Xie Runan and others one by one, everyone's attention soon focused on the matter of sleeping with her.
In a blink of an eye, it was September, and the Sixth Palace was peaceful, except for Concubine Mu who was particularly worried.
So much so that when greeting the Queen every day, I got distracted several times and my salutes went wrong.
Although the queen didn't like her, she was her cousin after all, so she didn't care about such a trivial matter, but she looked particularly unhappy.
Yun Fenghuang was also surprised when he saw her. Once after greeting her, he did not leave. He stayed and chatted with the queen for a few words, and then asked: "What's going on with Concubine Mu? Is it possible that the eldest Xu family is not good? But? This month of pregnancy is almost over, even if the Xu family is good or bad, as long as the emperor's heir is in peace, why should she be so distracted?"
It can't be said that Concubine Mu and the eldest Xu family hit it off immediately and treated each other as if they were biological sisters. Is it possible that the eldest Xu family might be in trouble
Yun Fenghuang didn't think Concubine Mu was such a kind-hearted person. She didn't even respect her cousin Gu Zhen much.
Sure enough, the queen snorted: "If the eldest Xu family is good or bad, why should she worry? But she is afraid that the eldest Xu family will not be able to get a boy in one fell swoop, and she is also afraid that the emperor's heir will be weak when he is born, and it will be difficult to take care of him. In short, she I won’t worry if God doesn’t give me something to worry about.”
"Irrespective of whether you are a princess or a prince, you are all of His Majesty's blood?" Yun Fenghuang smiled and said, "Concubine Mu is too worried. Is it possible that your Majesty will reward you generously if you give birth to a prince, and will reward you generously if you give birth to a princess?" Can't she be punished? It doesn't matter if she thinks wildly on her own, as long as she doesn't bring down His Majesty's reputation."
The queen said: "Why didn't I ask someone to tell her this? But she wants a prince wholeheartedly, and I don't bother to talk to her. Let her go as she pleases."
"Your Majesty, it's hard work too." Yun Fenghuang nodded with some empathy, "I can't see this sister outside, so I'm worried about it. We come to the palace together to serve. It's convenient to meet each other, but there are often discords like this. Unexpectedly, not Know what to do.”
Gu Zhen glanced at her and remembered what happened to Jiang Ruigu in the womb a few days ago, and couldn't help but said: "Although we have never been on good terms, I have to advise you: Although your cousin is your biological uncle, My biological daughter, you'd better think more carefully about whether you want to promote her as a concubine in the future. We don't expect these people to help, but at least we don't want to cause trouble, and we don't have to cause trouble for ourselves."
Yun Fenghuang echoed a few words and then left.
After leaving Yanfu Palace, she asked Chen Jing to find out why Concubine Mu was so absent-minded: "Even if she wants a prince, she has no favor and an emptiness under her knees now. Something is better than nothing, why bother to get one?" A male heir? Besides, even if she has a male heir now, what can she do? Who are you kidding by saying that she has to think wildly because of this? The queen is so dull that she doesn’t even make excuses."
Concubine Mu's methods were not very clever, and she was usually worthless enough for Yun Fenghuang to keep an eye on her.
At this moment, Chen Jing took the order and left. Not long after, he came back with the news and said, "If I go back to the empress, there is indeed something fishy about Concubine Mu. The servants suspect that she wants to keep her son."
"This is not unusual." Although it was a life, Yun Fenghuang didn't care very much. After all, there were too many such dramas in this palace.
Non-concubines were not allowed to raise the emperor's heirs. Based on this fact, many lowly biological mothers were destined to be in danger.
After all, how many people are happy to raise other people’s children
If he had a concubine of his own flesh and blood, he might be able to turn a blind eye and not care about the existence of the mother of his heirs; if he had no children, how could he tolerate having a biological mother who would treat him badly
She wanted to climb to the concubine position at all costs to avoid such an end.
At this moment, he just snorted and said, "What's there to panic? I'm afraid that the great Xu family has been forgotten by your majesty long ago. Furthermore, even if your majesty remembers it occasionally, would you still do the same thing for a mere concubine?" Do you care about the concubines who came out of Zhaowu's residence?"
"What the empress is saying is true, but Concubine Mu is a bit of a double-header." Chen Jing said with a smile, "She wanted to do this, but she was also afraid that the emperor would resent her when he grew up, so she wanted to frame the crime on someone else. . However, I am afraid that my flaws will be seen, so I am entangled in every possible way, so I am embarrassed."
Yun Fenghuang said with laughter and laughter: "If you don't have the ability to do bad things, just be honest. Concubine Mu... It seems that the Gu family really has no successor, and there are not even many smart girls left."
Just saying this, I suddenly thought of my family and the Jiang family, and couldn't help but frown secretly.
After all, the Xie family and the Jiang family really didn’t produce anything reliable...
She shook her head and stopped thinking about it.
Within two days, news came from Fuyang County. The envoy brought back a gift from Queen Mother Qu, which contained a set of small clothes with fine stitching and exquisite workmanship. It looked like a lot of thought had been put into it.
The messenger said: "This is made by the Mother Queen Mother herself. She said it was for our Royal Highness, Prince Jin... But I haven't seen it for a few days, and I don't know if it fits or not."
"But I want to worry about her." Yun Fenghuang nodded and asked Queen Mother Qu if she had anything else to say.
The messenger shook his head and said: "The Queen Mother, the Queen Mother, just wants to enjoy her old age. She hopes that Your Majesty, Your Majesty and Your Highnesses will all be in peace."
So, Queen Mother Qu is planning to stay quiet for a while
Yun Fenghuang pondered for a while and felt that this was the right approach. Chunjia is ambitious, and what bothers him most is the people who are causing trouble for him at this moment. Even if it's his own mother.
The result of the lottery had already made the emperor feel guilty towards Empress Dowager Yuan. If Empress Dowager Qu kept a high profile at this time, she might be prone to accidents.
It is better to make a gesture of self-cultivation and tell the emperor with practical actions that he has no ambitions or plans, he just wants to take care of himself in old age.
She then called the imperial doctor over and carefully checked the little clothes inside and out. Then she brought Chunjia over and put them on for King Jin.
Although a prince, especially a prince who is the biological son of a beloved concubine, will definitely not lack fine clothes, Yun Fenghuang usually does not like to dress up children too much, and his clothes are simple, which not only conveys his reputation for frugality, but also I don’t want my children to be too much troubled.
Anyway, this son's identity does not require dressing up to show his majesty.
Chunjia suddenly noticed that she suddenly put on this extraordinarily elegant outfit. While holding her child and teasing her, she couldn't help but ask: "What day is it today? Why is Fifteen dressed like this?"
"Isn't it good-looking?" Yun Fenghuang asked without answering.
The emperor said: "What should we children wear that doesn't look good?"
He was also very smart and immediately guessed, "Could it be someone in particular who did it?"
"It was made by the Queen Mother, the Holy Mother." Yun Fenghuang said with a smile, "I feel so flattered by Shi Shi. I will wear it for him now to show off, but I will have to put it away later for the Chinese New Year. Dress him up again.”
"..." Chunjia was silent for a moment, but she didn't mean to be unhappy. She just asked, "Why did Empress Qu suddenly think of making clothes for Fifteen? Are there any of the other royal heirs?"
Yun Fenghuang glanced at him, trying not to smile and said: "The Queen Mother and the Queen Mother have people of this age. Her Majesty has many children now. If all the children are born, wouldn't it tire the Queen Mother? In fact, even Qin Wang Zhao Qingdu doesn’t have one, only Shi Fifteen does. As for the reason, maybe it’s because the Holy Mother Queen Mother is particularly fond of concubines? Speaking of which, we fifteen still have the glory of concubines.”
Seeing her calm and composed look, the emperor couldn't easily express the discomfort he felt in his heart.
She just smiled and said, "Qu Mu Queen has always liked you."
"Your Majesty will fool me like this." Yun Fenghuang said to him with a smile, "Actually, I don't know what kind of character I am? My parents are used to seeing people like me. It's fine. Elders from other families probably don't like them. After all, who doesn't favor their own children and hope that other people's children will be humble children for their own children? It's just that the Queen Mother of the Holy Mother values your Majesty, and your Majesty likes this concubine, Holy Mother The empress dowager just likes me. Otherwise, there would be many concubines in this palace who are more lovable than me. Why don’t we see the empress dowager like other people?"
Chunjia was a little dumbfounded, he thought to himself, Queen Mother Qu values you, it is true that I like you, but isn't this just to let you speak for her in front of me
The other concubines were more pleasing in nature but did not attract the attention of Queen Mother Qu. That was of course because they could not help Queen Mother Qu in any way.
His adoptive mother and his biological mother are not economical in nature, and he knows it in his heart.
After all, as long as one of them is a soft-tempered person, there will be no trouble if the east wind overwhelms the west wind or the west wind overpowers the east wind.
However, because he was trying to save face for the imperial concubine, he didn't expose her and just said gently: "I like you, isn't that enough?"
Yun Fenghuang was slightly startled. She was actually partnering with Queen Mother Qu, hinting to the emperor that the reason why Queen Mother Yuan doesn't like me is purely because she doesn't have enough maternal love for you.
Real maternal love should be like that of your own mother, the Queen Mother Qu. She likes what you like, not what you like and she doesn’t like, so she will try her best to suppress the discord and force what she likes on you!
But he didn't expect the emperor to say this, and he didn't reply for a while.
After being in a daze for a moment, she pursed her lips and smiled and said, "Well, I like Your Majesty the most. Does Your Majesty think that's enough?"
Chunjia was embarrassed now, because even if he didn't care about the other concubines, the Three Palaces and Sixth Courtyard were there for show.
He decided to change the topic quickly: "Fifteen has grown up so fast. When I hold him now, he feels a little heavy."
"The child just needs to be heavier and stronger." Yun Fenghuang was not embarrassed and said with a smile, "I don't have any other hope for him. He just needs to be healthy."
This is of course impossible. King Jin is only two years old now, which is too young. Let him concentrate on growing up.
When the new year comes and the child turns three, his enlightenment will begin.
All the results of the previous training on King Qin and Zhao Qing must be realized.
Her biological son, Concubine Min, does not seek to be perfect, but he must have all the excellence that a prince should have!
As for what King Jin himself thinks, Yun Fenghuang doesn't care.
She took so many risks to give birth to this child, not just to let him enjoy the fruits of his life and waste his life as the son of a doting concubine.
Thinking of this, Yun Fenghuang's eyes flickered, he looked at Chunjia, and said softly: "So, your majesty, if Fifteen is more naughty in the future, you can't blame him! This child's previous show was really a concubine. I’m so scared!”
Chunjia didn't know what the imperial concubine was thinking. She thought that after she was really frightened, she only wanted her child's health and didn't care about anything else. She was a little hesitant: "I still have to keep an eye on my studies. After all, they are the flesh and blood of the two of us..."
He really can't cherish people who are ignorant and arrogant, even if they are his own flesh and blood...
Besides, if King Jin really develops such a temperament, he can still protect this child while he is in power.
When the new king takes the throne, if he has murderous intentions, isn't there a sure way to catch him
"Just because he is our flesh and blood, does he need to work so hard?" Yun Fenghuang suddenly became unhappy, shook the emperor's arm, and said aggrievedly, "Or is it that His Majesty doesn't want to sit back and enjoy the benefits at the age of fifteen, so he has to endure hardships?"
Chunjia was quite helpless and agreed, but thought in her heart that it would be better for her to keep an eye on this child more in the future. Since ancient times, loving mothers often lose their children, so don't let the imperial concubine spoil her.
Once he is gone, who knows who will fall into the hands of mother and son
Just as he was saying this, news came from over there that it was Da Xu who had launched the attack.
