"......" Chunjia was silent for a while, didn't say anything, but stretched out her arms and motioned for her to come into her arms.

Yun Fenghuang walked over, and he hugged her knees, buried his face in her neck, and closed his eyes silently.

At this time, she couldn't see the face of the Son of Heaven clearly, but she could feel that he was very tired.

Or rather, tiredness.

It is no wonder that for Chunjia, except for the imperial heirs who are still young and ignorant, the most important people in the entire harem are probably Empress Dowager Yuan, Empress Dowager Qu and Yun Fenghuang.

But there are many contradictions between these three.

In the past, it was only Yun Fenghuang and Empress Dowager Yuan who openly expressed their discord, but due to the gap in seniority-identity, Chun Jia coaxed and persuaded Yun Fenghuan to back down on the scene, and also coaxed and persuaded Empress Dowager Yuan to make a big thing a small thing...... Although this day may not be very comfortable, it can still go on with stumbling.

But now the conflict lies with the two queen mothers.

One is an adoptive mother and the other is a mother-in-law.

How do you choose?

Emotionally speaking, Chunjia should be more partial to Empress Dowager Yuan, after all, this is the elder who raised him single-handedly.

And for a long time, he always thought that the Empress Dowager Yuan was his mother, and he even knew the existence of the Empress Dowager Qu when he was very old.

But flesh and blood relatives are not so easy to give up in the end.

Especially in the conflicts of the Empress Dowager Qu in these few times, she showed that she was a character who was wronged or even survived.

Chunjia said the words to comfort her, and her heart was not distressed.

During the summer, he would privately agree to marry Kun Zexu to Yuan's son, and in this way, he would prompt the two empress dowagers to turn their rivalry into jade silk.

But after today's outing, no matter how lucky Chunjia is, he has to admit that the grievances between Empress Dowager Yuan and Empress Dowager Qu are deeper than he thought.

They will not shake hands and make peace because of this family affair at all, and even this family affair has intensified the conflict.

The Empress Dowager Qu even did not hesitate to join forces with the Empress Dowager.

Bailu's death was covered up under the "auspicious omen" of the tacit agreement of the monarch and the ministers, and what could not be covered was the tension between the two queen mothers.

The ancestral queen mother experienced the blow of losing her husband, losing her son, the collapse of the family, and the death of her niece and grandnephew one after another.

Will they stop in the years to come?

Impossible.

It's almost as bad as it gets.

As their common son, even though Chunjia is stoic and deep, he can't help but feel exhausted in the face of such a situation.

He couldn't even express it in front of the two queen mothers.

Because in the eyes of the Empress Dowager Yuan, she worked hard to raise Chunjia, Jiji Yingying sought the prince and the throne for him, and accompanied Chunjia Taoguang to raise the obscurity for nearly ten years, and finally came to the bitter end, at this time, the emperor had to continue to tell her about her hard work and not easy, so that she endured Yunfeng Huang and then endured the Queen Mother...... Chunjia really can't bear it.

As for the Empress Dowager Qu, due to her humble background, she served the first king in a low position, and she was lucky to be pregnant, but her own flesh and blood just landed, and she was taken away by the main room, and even for a long time, her son didn't know her at all.

In terms of patience, Empress Dowager Qu endured longer than Empress Dowager Yuan.

She had never complained before, just suffered in silence...... Now that the seizure has come out, it is also justified.

What could Junga tell her? I can't tell this mother, although I now know that you are the one who conceived and gave birth to me in October, but after all, I have a deeper relationship with my loving mother, the Queen Mother, in order not to disturb our mother-son friendship, and in order not to embarrass me, please be interesting, continue to be low, or simply can't think of self-determination?

The affairs of the previous dynasty are enough to worry about, but the housework is even more worry-free.

However, as the Son of Heaven, Chunjia can't show such weakness at all.

He could only hug his beloved concubine at this moment, and relaxed slightly.

Although Yun Fenghuang understood his difficulties, it was the first time he saw him reveal like this, and he was a little soft-hearted for a while, and couldn't help but propose: "No matter what the Empress Dowager of the Mother of Love, the Empress Dowager of Our Lady and even the Empress Dowager think of Kunze's marriage, you are such a sister-in-law, why don't you call someone over and ask clearly, and let her make her own decisions?" Such three clan elders, out of consideration for their younger generations, must not say anything more. ”

The main reason is that now whether it is to follow the Empress Dowager Yuan to disobey the Empress Dowager Qu, or to follow the Empress Dowager Qu to teach the Empress Dowager Yuan to be disappointed, Chunjia can't bear it.

Moreover, the battle between the two queen mothers has reached this point, and even the queen mother has been involved, no matter which side loses, it is difficult to step down on the scene.

It is only the most suitable to push Kunze out as a shield.

People who lose like this are not so faceless, after all, they gave in because they "love their juniors", not because they lost to each other in the fight for their sons.

"......" Chunjia didn't move when he heard this, as if he hadn't heard it, and after a while, he said in a slightly tired tone, "I am not warm with Kunze, and when I asked her in private, she always refused to speak. I don't know what she's thinking at her age. Although it is true that the matter between her and the Yuan family was brought up by the Empress Dowager Yuan, as Ah Huang said, the first king has such a little biological blood and blood, although I can't lift her up to Minghui and them, but I don't want her to be as wronged as I was when I was a teenager. ”

The reason why he was willing to agree to this family affair was actually to determine Kunze's own attitude.

Although in Chunjia's opinion, Kunze was fooled by the Empress Dowager Yuan, thinking that marrying Yuan Shu was a good family matter.

However, he didn't say anything about using this marriage to ease the relationship between the two queens, because Yuan Shu was not a particularly outstanding talent, but he was not very bad.

When Chunjia was selected to study, Xing Ningbo did not have a suitable son, so he could only choose from his relatives and nephews, Yuan Shu was able to stand out, his own talent, appearance, rules, personality, etc., were all the best in the generation of Fuyang Yuan's children.

Moreover, although the Yuan family is not as good as the Ji family, the Luo family, the Meng family, the Yin family, and the Ouyang family, which have been standing in the temple for many years, they can be regarded as a first-class family in the local area.

If it weren't for the fact that he was surrounded by peers who were born and talented better than him, looking at the whole world, Yuan Shu could actually be regarded as a carefully selected and cultivated noble son, but he was not the top one.

Chunjia felt that Kunze marrying Yuan Shu might not be uncomfortable.

The relationship between the Yuan family and the Empress Dowager Yuan determined that they could not have a great awe of the Empress Dowager Qu, and they might not be so kind to the Kunze County Lord raised by the Empress Dowager Qu.

But as long as they still need the shade and grace brought by the status of the county lord, they don't dare to treat Kunze badly.

The emperor made this decision after weighing left and right and thinking that there was no big problem, and stopped Yun Fenghuang's behavior of looking for a horse for Kunze, who knew that the empress dowager of the two palaces would resentfully each other?

Now look for the lord of Kunze County...... Chun Jia is indeed not much chance to get along with Kunze, although the brother and sister are half-brothers, they are not close, Kunze is not very willing to tell him the truth, and the second is also a little ashamed of this young sister.

He was more or less intent on using her.

"Then Ah Ji, if you don't mind, I'll go talk to the county lord?" Yun Feng Huang rubbed Chunjia's back and asked slowly.

Chunjia said "um", but did not let go of her, and after a while, the outside Yan Yin cautiously reminded him, saying that the emperor should return to the table, otherwise, the empress dowager and the two empress dowagers have been absent from the table for a long time, and only the queen of the heavenly family is there, which is not suitable.

Yun Fenghuang gently pushed him, and then he slowly let go of his hand, and replied lightly: "I'll go later." ”

"You go to the banquet, there is still the queen and Concubine Shu and Concubine De over there to take care of them, and I will go directly to find the county lord." Yun Fenghuang discussed with him in a low voice, "It's just that where is the county lord now?" If I am at the Queen Mother's place, I am afraid that the Queen Mother does not want to see me. ”

Chun Jia said: "You wait here, I'll send someone to call Kunze over." ”

So it seems that the county lord of Kunze is really on the Empress Dowager Yuan's side at this time?

Yun Fenghuang is becoming more and more curious about what this county lord thinks, if he doesn't follow the Empress Dowager Qu at this time, this is really going to anger the Empress Dowager Qu?

After all, Chunjia is closer to the Empress Dowager Yuan, although he was born to the Empress Dowager Qu, in the end he was raised by the Empress Dowager Yuan, as the so-called Sheng'en is not raised, whether the Empress Dowager Qu understands it or not, most people in the world acquiesce that Chunjia should be more filial to the Empress Dowager Yuan.

But the county lord of Kunze, this is the child raised by the Empress Dowager Qu, and the Empress Dowager Yuan basically ignored it.

Now that he has grown up, he is also close to the Empress Dowager Yuan, isn't this poking the Empress Dowager's heart?

Her own children are not close to her, and the children she raised are not close to her...... This is a mother, who can stand it?

If she changed places, Yun Fenghuang felt that if Zhaoqing grew up and threw herself to Gu Zhen at a critical moment, she would be able to tear this white-eyed wolf alive!

It is said that the Empress Dowager Qu looks quiet, and she doesn't look like a person who will be bad to Kunze?

She pondered all kinds of possibilities, and after a while, the palace people led the county lord of Kunze in, and then took the door with his backhand.

"Mother." The county lord of Kunze was a little uneasy, it was the kind of uneasiness that she couldn't hide even if she tried to hide it, she lowered her head, pursed her mouth, and came up softly to say hello, and then lowered her eyes to look at the temple bricks not far away, and stood in a piece of wood.

Yun Fenghuang softly invited her to sit not far from him, and after saying two or three times, the county lord of Kunze reluctantly went to sit down.

To be honest, such a county lord made Yun Fenghuang feel very strange.

Although she, like Chunjia, has not paid much attention to this county lord in the past two years since she entered the palace, she also remembers that when she went to the palace for the first time to escape the summer, she once bumped into Kunze once when she visited the Empress Dowager Qu.

Now this little family looks like two people.

"County Lord, there is no one else at the moment, and this palace will get straight to the point with you." Yun Fenghuang thought about it, ordered the clearance, and said to himself, "I heard Your Majesty, you are willing to marry Yuan Shu, but is this the case?" ”

Kunze nodded lightly.

"Can Hongu ask why?" Yun Fenghuan looked at her and asked slowly.

But without waiting for the county lord to speak, she said again, "Of course, the county lord really likes Yuan Ke, so there is no need to mention it. ”

“…… Why? The county lord of Kunze frowned, and subconsciously asked, "Can't I like Yuan Shu?" ”

There is a clear displeasure in this rhetorical question, but there are some shadows of two years ago.

No matter how close she is to Chun Jiasheng, in the end, she is the only sister in the bloodline of the Son of Heaven, even though the Empress Dowager Qu, who raised her, is the most disadvantaged of the three queen mothers, but the important identity of the queen mother is already high.

The county lord of Kunze is low-key and low-key, her status and treatment are actually not bad.

So how can it be possible to develop a cowardly sex-child? She must have had a bit of a temper.

I didn't hide it at the moment.

Yun Fenghuan didn't care, she said that originally to provoke Kunze to speak.

After all, Chunjia agreed to let the concubine come to talk to the county lord, because the county lord was silent to him, so he had no idea what to do, and he couldn't judge Kunze's thoughts.

"Naturally not, the county lord is the daughter of the sect, and he is the only blood sister of His Majesty, whoever you like, it is someone's honor." Yun Fenghuang shook his head and said, "That's why this palace thinks, how can the county lord look down on Yuan Shu?" In terms of talent, appearance, future, and power, he is among the children of similar backgrounds, it is not an exaggeration to say that he is unpopular, how can he be in the eyes of the county lord? ”

Kun Ze looked at her and said slyly: "So, the noble concubine Niangniang admires Your Majesty, mainly because of Your Majesty's powerful position?" ”

"Of course, there are also outstanding talents, wisdom and martial arts." Yun Fenghuang said indifferently, "Otherwise? If a man is not good-looking, has no bright future, has no power, is poor, confused and indecisive, how can he get the affection of others and even the trust of life? ”

"......" Kun Ze choked, she thought that the concubine would deny coveting Chunjia's position of power, but then said, "This is inevitably too snobbish, can't it be because he treats you gently and considerately and understandingly?" ”

Yun Fenghuang sighed and said, "What do you want like this, if you are not gentle and considerate, and be low-minded, who will not give her daughter to him if you don't have long eyes?" ”

He also said, "And if it is an ordinary woman, according to the words of her parents' matchmaker, whether she likes it or not, and is married off, she can only live like this." Is the county lord an ordinary woman? Regardless of whether it is the Queen Mother or Your Majesty, they are very concerned about the lifelong events of the county lord, when they were still in the palace earlier, His Majesty did not know about the county lord and Yuan's son, so he repeatedly told the palace, saying that he must choose a wishful person for the county lord, and he must not wronged the county lord! ”

"There are many people in this world who will get by, and they have to get by, but the county lord has a good life, and he is not one of them, so why should he be wronged?"

Kun Zedong looked west and did not speak.

Chun Jia also told her similar things before, and even recalled that when she was just born, the brother and sister were still in Fuyang County, which can be said to be emotional and reasonable, but Kun Ze has been silent, and Chun Jia tried his best to say nothing to no avail, so he could only wave her away in the end.

And so she got away with it.

But this trick is not so easy to use to deal with Yun Fenghuan, Yun Fenghuan saw that she didn't speak, so he said: "Your Majesty is a man, where do you understand the minds of our girls?" The palace is slightly older than the county lord by two years, since the county lord refuses to make a sound, then the palace will guess the county lord's thoughts: the county lord put the young talents of the Manchu Dynasty civil and military family not to pick, and chose the Yuan family, who the Queen Mother is most opposed, in fact, not because he sincerely likes that Yuan Shu, but to take revenge on His Majesty, right? ”

“！！！” Kunze's originally leisurely expression suddenly froze, and she stomped her foot angrily, "Nonsense!! ”

At this time, Changyun Fenghuang calmed down, took a sip of tea, and asked her calmly: "Otherwise?" This palace knows that the Queen Mother will never let the county lord marry into the Yuan family, not to mention that the county lord is the only adopted daughter of the Queen Mother, will she not know the attitude of the Queen Mother? But he still did it, not to embarrass His Majesty, what is it? ”
