"How big of a deal is this, and is it worthy of such a big fight by Your Majesty?" After a while, in the Qingci Palace, the Empress Dowager faced the angry Chunjia and said disapprovingly, "Yun Shi really doesn't know how to be considerate of Your Majesty, why? Everything comes to you. Is this because you rely on your own achievements in the past to help the emperor and the current people?"
Chunjia was too lazy to pay attention to the provocative words and said directly: "This is a serious matter. Please tell me how to deal with it!"
"There is nothing to deal with." The Empress Dowager said calmly, "With Minghui's status, is there a problem in raising a few faces? Besides, although she has visited people outside these days, it is not that she has not been with the consort. Stop! Is the Yun family so sure that this child is from outside, not from their family? If so, it can only be blamed on the weakness of the prince-in-law. A serious husband who has been married by a matchmaker is not as good as a plaything from outside. Who can blame this? ?”
It was a good thing that Duke Yi Guo was not here, otherwise he would have been pissed to death.
Even Chunjia felt that this was too much: "I know that the imperial grandmother prefers Minghui..."
"This is not a question of preference or not." The Empress Dowager interrupted him and said firmly, "This is a question of superiority and inferiority. Children of the Gongxiang family are not restricted to men and women, and they should be more indulgent in the love of men and women. So what? In the past, among the princesses under Shizong’s knees, how many of them, other than consorts, hugged each other? Shizong didn’t say anything, and Shenzong didn’t say anything either! It was also the case that the Ai family and Shenzong had very few heirs. If the Ai family had a princess in front of them, this would Do you think Aijia or Shenzong would care about such a trivial matter that has nothing to do with the overall situation? In the same way, your father Xiaozong died at a young age and did not get to see his daughters grow up! Otherwise, if Xiaozong was still here, how could he care? Pay attention to such a trivial matter! At the beginning, you vowed that you would do your best to protect Xiaozong's wife and daughter. Now, let alone Xiaozong's wife, can't you even tolerate three girls? "
Then he said, "The Yun family refuses to recognize the child. At worst, she will take Minghui's surname and let Minghui raise it by herself. Is it possible that the majestic eldest princess can't even raise a child? It's just a matter of the Ai family, if that child When he grows up, he will look like a member of the Yun family, and if they want to recognize him, they have no chance!"
Chunjia said slowly: "The royal grandmother is so beautiful, and all the princesses under Shizong's knees are indeed quite romantic and wanton. But that was only after they gave birth to children for the consort. If Minghui has already given birth to an heir for the Yun family, she will be more mischievous. , I believe that even the Yun family won’t say anything.”
"So?" The Empress Dowager said calmly, "You owe the Yun family, but Minghui does not owe you. You have to use Xiaozong's bones and blood to repay your own favor. The Aijia and Minghui are unable to resist, but Minghui will not be able to resist before he declines. I like Yun's children, but now it's rare to find a few that I like. Why should she wait until later to be lucky? Don't forget that it is difficult for Xiaozong's descendants. Judging from Yun'an and Sui'an, the fate of Minghui's descendants may not be good. If she I haven't been able to give birth to an heir for the Yun family for ten years, eight years or even a lifetime. Is it possible that you plan to let her guard the consort for the rest of her life?"
"This is what the Imperial Grandmother said." Chunjia narrowed his eyes, looked at her for a while, and said warmly, "But now that Minghui has not been around for a long time, the ten years, eight years or even a lifetime that the Imperial Grandmother said is just an assumption. If Minghui I have been living with my consort for many years and have no children, so I am having some fun, and I will not bother you today. Moreover, Imperial Grandmother, I want Minghui to be more restrained, and I want her to cherish her reputation. Is it because I have malicious intentions? Not to mention. It shows that Hui, as the only direct descendant of the late emperor, has inherited the kindness of the ancestors and every action, how can he not show the virtues of the ancestors? Everyone knows that the late emperor was pure, filial and honest. But the only legitimate daughter... You said these things are passed down After he goes out, how will the public view Minghui, and how will they discuss the late emperor's great reputation?"
"Besides, if Ming Hui does this, is it a good thing for her child?"
"Even if the eldest princess's palace is not rich and powerful, the Yun family will be fine, but when the child is a child, it will be fine. When he grows up, outsiders ask him, and he doesn't even know who his biological father is. What do you think the child will think? ?How can we not feel uncomfortable?"
"As the old saying goes, if parents love their children, they will have far-reaching plans."
"It is also said that an elder brother is like a father."
"Now that there are no outsiders, I don't have to pretend to cover up: please be fair to the Imperial Grandmother. Apart from not following Ming Hui and promising her to the Yun family, have I ever been harsh on her?"
"It's just this marriage. Grandmother, do you think Yun's son is not worthy of being the consort?"
"Who are the consorts in Sui'an, Yun'an? Xie Wuzheng is both talented and beautiful, but he comes from a humble background. Now the Xie family has been brutally massacred, and the family no longer exists! What about Yun'an? Zheng Fengfen was born into a powerful family, but his father was a eunuch. At one point, it is destined to be incompatible with Qingliu.”
"In contrast, Yunxi Ke is young and handsome, talented and beautiful, and comes from a famous family. He has parents and brothers. He is worthy enough to be the master of all dynasties!"
"I have always been partial to Minghui, firstly because she is the late emperor's legitimate daughter, and secondly because of her mother... Imperial grandmother, you should know that I am very fond of Concubine Min, but over the years, I have been sitting on the throne. With Gu’s daughter.”
"You may feel that I am not sincere towards you, the late Emperor Yuan and Empress, Ming Huiyun, An Sui'an and others, but if I ask myself, I have never been sorry to the Gongxiang family!"
Chunjia sighed softly, "Xiaozong is your only flesh and blood, and he has no children. Although I have no blood relationship with the imperial grandmother. But since I succeeded to the throne, I have been walking on thin ice, and I have never dared to slack off... I am just afraid of letting down the late emperor. Such deep love will lead to the fact that in the future, we will be underground and will not be able to see our ancestors!"
Seeing that the Queen Mother was silent, he paused and then said, "I actually understand Minghui's mood over the years. So although I am angry about her nonsense, what makes me most angry is not anything else, but anger. She is too self-suffering. After all, she is young and ignorant, although her purpose is against me. But you said, there are a few things she did that are really detrimental to herself? It's just the royal grandmother, I don't care, I You can also favor her and pretend to be confused for her. But what about the people of the world? Everyone speaks for themselves! I am still in my prime now, and I can still suppress the situation. That's all. After a few years, I will also be old, and the children below When they grew up, they had nothing to do with Minghui. Even if I teach you earnestly, how many times can they tolerate Minghui? How long can they tolerate Minghui? "
The Empress Dowager said calmly: "So you still think Minghui can survive when you are old? The Ai family thought she was in your hands only for the past few years."
The emperor was not angry and said calmly: "Minghui is several years younger than me."
The two were silent for a moment, and Chunjia stood up, "Royal Grandma, think about it carefully. Minghui did this because I still care about her, so I said these words instead of favoring the Yun family. If I really want to She is not good. She really favors the Yun family, but why should she worry? Just acquiesce to the Yun family's publicity of this matter everywhere. Even if I don't mention it, there will definitely be relatives and courtiers who will come to ask for orders to deal with her! Even the common people in the world, probably Everyone will feel disgusted with him. I have said this, and I also ask the imperial grandmother to understand clearly and tell Minghui."
He then resigned and left. He pinched his brows for a while on the way, and then turned the imperial chariot to the Huanhua Hall.
Yun Fenghuang was listening to Chen Jing talking about Ming Hui's gossip. When he heard that Chun Jia was coming, he quickly told his left and right to shut up and stood up to greet him.
"Has Your Majesty finished speaking to the Empress Dowager?" Yun Fenghuang asked the waiters in a soft voice while he winked at the emperor and sat down.
Chunjia hummed: "Does the Sixth Palace already know?"
"Isn't that true?" Yun Fenghuang heard that he was a little unhappy, but he didn't care. He said with a smile, "Your Highness Minghui has been ignorant for a day or two... Everyone in the palace, such as the Queen, has watched her grow up. Man, right now... who can't help but pay attention?"
"Alas." Chunjia sighed melancholy and said, "Didn't I watch her grow up? Although Minghui has been tired of me over the years, I also know that I will never get along with her and Lele in this life. But thinking about the late emperor, I can't bear it... What do you think Huidu thinks? She should know at her age that if she continues to toss like this, it will be a little trouble for me at most, not harmful at all. It's her own fault. If she continues like this If I don't take care of her, everyone in Youyou will not be able to tolerate her."
"Of course what your majesty said is the most genuine truth." Yun Fenghuang said softly, "I have speculated on the thoughts of the eldest princess. Maybe she has been like this since she was a child. As long as she doesn't treat herself well, she can get whatever she wants. , isn’t this something you’re used to?”
Chunjia muttered, "Are you saying that I don't treat her as well as Ji Sheng, a common man?"
"If Ji Sheng, a common man, is really good to Her Royal Highness the Eldest Princess, he should teach Her Royal Highness the etiquette, standardize her words and deeds, and teach her moral character from the time she was young, just as Ji taught the Empress of the Yuan Dynasty." Yun Feng Huang shook his head and said, "Instead of blindly pampering, when such a powerful position is enough to hide her true nature, then that's it. Once there is a change, it will be like this for Her Royal Highness the Eldest Princess. Even if everyone wishes her well, she herself But he is the one who makes it worst for himself."
The emperor was silent for a while and said: "Maybe Ji Sheng, a common man, really didn't expect the fate of the Ji family."
"But Your Majesty, do you think that even if the Ji family always holds the power." Yun Fenghuang reminded, "After the common man Ji Sheng passes away, the Ji family can tolerate the eldest princess? I have to say something taboo: When I was young, I When I entered the palace, I saw that the eldest princess was interested in Ji Minggan, but Ji Minggan was... quite rude to her. At that time, I had a low status and had no foundation in the palace, so I could tell. How could Ji not know about this? At that time, Ji Sheng, a common man, was still here and had a noble status. Ji Minggan was still like this, let alone in the future? Therefore, it is not that His Majesty is not as good to His Highness as Ji Sheng, a common man, but that His Majesty is far better than a common man. Ji Sheng has far-sightedness. His Majesty is truly good to His Highness."
"Ah Huang will coax me." Chunjia couldn't help but smile and said, "You must not be thinking that way."
But the reason why he came to Huanhua Hall was to hear such comforting words.
After talking and laughing like this for a while, seeing that it was getting late, we left.
Yun Fenghuang called Chen Jing after he left and said, "Keep an eye on Minghui. Isn't it strange that she is stupid? However, the Queen Mother allows her to be so stupid again and again. I always feel that something is wrong."
After all, this is the only child of the Empress Dowager and her biological niece. Even if the Empress Dowager is disheartened because of Ji's incident, she shouldn't leave Ming Hui alone, right
She had just told the emperor about Ji Sheng, a common man, but what she really wanted to say was the Empress Dowager.
The first wife of Shenzong, can’t even control her rebellious granddaughter? I don’t know what to do for Minghui at this time
