Chapter 264: Power, Money, and Beauty
Yun Fenghuang mentioned that he was isolated in the temple at the beginning, and it was not too late for the gentleman to take revenge for ten years, but in fact, the main purpose was to promote the marriage between Xie Meng and Deng Chengzhai.
From her standpoint, this family affair is beneficial to Xie Meng, herself and the Xie family.
But she can't control Deng Chengzhai, she can only rely on Chunjia.
Therefore, of course, Yun Fenghuang couldn't have imagined that the emperor would think so much from this matter, and prepare for her and the fifteenth prince before a rainy day......
In her opinion, Chunjia's previous promise to recall the Sui'an couple was very suspicious.
At this time, I have to take the initiative to give Xie Driyu benefits, what kind of kindness can I have?
"Sure enough, it's a companion like a tiger...... so after Chunjia left, she was furious, and she was persuaded left and right to finally calm down a little, and she was sad again, and couldn't help crying, "Qingren, you say, how did he coax the palace like a wall, and be ruthless to the Xie family?" ”
"This ......" Qingren had just been sent out to serve, in fact, she didn't know what the imperial concubine said, and in her opinion, the eighteenth prince and the twenty-first prince would be awarded official positions by the emperor, shouldn't they be happy?
At this time, he stubbornly persuaded the concubine to think about it, "Your Majesty is willing to give you an official position, at least it is an opportunity." If His Majesty has been ignoring it and letting the two sons waste their lives, this is ...... That's not a good thing! ”
“…… That's all there is to it. "Yun Fenghuang didn't expect the Qing people to give him any reliable ideas, after all, the Xie family's lintel was resting there, and she and Xie Wuzheng were both brothers and sisters, both of whom were considered ancestors to accumulate virtue, how much foresight could the close attendants have?
Anyway, she didn't believe that Chunjia's move was well-intentioned.
With such an idea, Xie Wuzheng and his wife washed away the dust and entered the palace to meet each other, Yun Fenghuang sent Sui'an to see Concubine Shen in a few words, waved back to Xie Wuzheng, and said: "Brother Twenty-one, you have to be careful, Your Majesty has summoned you and Her Royal Highness the eldest princess back this time, it may not be goodwill." But it's still for the sake of cultivating a son-in-law! ”
Xie Wuzheng's expression was calm, and he didn't seem surprised by this, and said with a slight bow: "Don't worry, Niangniang, the ministers will get it." Although our family is not very rich, we have no worries about food and clothing since childhood. Besides, after the lord, he was stained with the light of His Royal Highness, even if there were ups and downs, outsiders would not dare to ridicule him in person. As for the discussion in private, the minister didn't bother to pay attention to it...... I will never do anything to shame my mother. ”
"There's nothing in this palace." Yun Fenghuang sighed and said, "How much does Your Majesty like this palace, what you do is not considered to be the head of this palace as usual!" What the palace is worried about is that in the harem now, although everyone is not in awe of the queen, there is no one competing with Yanfu Palace on the scene. Your Majesty is afraid that in view of this, he plans to support the Xie family to rise, so that the tenth and twelfth princes can be sharpened in the future...... Therefore, Brother Twenty-One must be careful, otherwise, if he falls into the handle, I am afraid that in the future, the prince will have the means, and the Xie family will be useless. ”
Xie Wuzheng was silent, suddenly leaned forward slightly, and said in a low voice: "Niangniang, you and I are flesh and blood, there is no third person at this moment, Rong Chen asked a heart-wrenching word: Niangniang now has a fifteenth prince of flesh and blood, but I don't know, do you have far-reaching plans for the fifteenth prince?" ”
Although the former and harems were sure that Yun Feng Huang would definitely covet the position of the East Palace, in fact, Yun Feng Huang did think so.
But after all, it has never been explicitly proposed.
Asked by Xie Wuzheng at this moment, she paused briefly, then raised her head and looked at him calmly: "If this palace really has this intention, but I don't know what Brother Twenty-one thinks?" ”
"Naturally, I strongly support Niangniang and the fifteenth prince!" Xie Wuzheng breathed a sigh of relief as if he had put down any burden, and said without hesitation, "Your Majesty is wise and martial, and the mother is very intelligent, and the fifteenth prince will definitely be a handsome man among people in the future!" Where can the Ten Princes be compared to the Twelve Princes? ”
He agreed so happily that Yun Fenghuang was a little suspicious in his heart, and couldn't help asking, "Do you think the same way at home?" ”
“…… The family can't help us much now, why should the mother bother with their thoughts? This time, Xie Wuzheng choked up, and then persuaded euphemistically, "The elders are old, and it is inevitable that they will not be able to do anything. But you and I are still young and have a lot to offer! Such an opportunity has rarely been available since ancient times. If you don't move forward today, I'm afraid that your children and grandchildren will have to choke on it in the future! ”
Yun Fenghuang was relieved.
She said, as far as the lintel of the Xie family is concerned, it is enough to produce a palace concubine, which is enough to talk about it in the countryside.
As a result, the concubine became a concubine by mistake, and she was still the emperor's favorite one...... While many of the Xie family's elders are proud, most of them must not want her to make any more dangerous moves, otherwise it will be difficult to keep her current rich and noble status, and it will drag down the Xie family's future.
However, Yun Fenghuang was too lazy to care, when Xie Fengfeng had an accident, Xie Shi immediately broke his wrist.
As a concubine who was cultivated and pampered by the family, Yun Fenghuang recalled that this incident was a more complex emotion than love and hate.
So after she gains power, she will pull the family, not only out of return for the Xie family for raising her, but also because she herself needs the family as a wing; But in the same way, when she acts, she doesn't think too much about the situation of her family, whether she will be involved, and whether she is willing to accompany her on an adventure...... Yun Feng Huang only does what he wants to do.
For the sake of Xie's up and down, it is difficult to move an inch or something, just tell Chunjia to hear it and win sympathy.
How is it actually possible.
She earned it for herself today, and she owes no one ...... Well, in addition to feeling a little guilty about Qi Jiulu, Yun Fenghuang didn't care at all how many relatives and friends his decision would bring trouble.
Xie Wuzheng's expression had already surprised Yun Fenghuan, although she had thought about it early on, since Xie Wuzheng had his current status by himself, then no matter what Xie Wuzheng thought about herself, she would forcibly tie this cousin to her chariot anyway, paving the way for the future enthronement of the fifteenth prince. However, Xie Wuzheng himself also meant this, which was of course a good thing for Yun Fenghuang.
"The elders can actually understand what they think." At this moment, she softened her expression and said slowly, "With our family's little background, it is already a blessing to be able to have today...... If you keep up the good work, if you can succeed, you can do it. Once it fails, that ...... I'm afraid it's all gone! ”
Xie Wuzheng said lightly: "Niangniang, the Xie family is in a remote location, and if you don't hear it, it's like a frog at the bottom of a well." Back then, we were all in the township, and what we saw and heard was that the Xie family was already a very rare family. But now, when we come to the imperial capital and see the government and the opposition, can we still feel so? If you succeed and don't say it, even if you fail, how bad can you be? ”
Yun Fenghuan looked at him, and wanted to say that if he really failed, Xie Shi would probably not be dragged lightly.
The main thing is that she set up a character at the beginning, so that even the emperor firmly believes that she is a person who is towards the Xie family.
So even if many people in the Xie family are not happy that she continues to take risks to fight, how can the future victor let Xie go in order to retaliate?
But after thinking about it, I understood a little: Sui'an couldn't be born, Xie Wuzheng was angry and the sword went sideways, and the oath of not accepting concubines in the future was propagated one after another......
This is not just an oath in front of the emperor, this is known to the whole world.
He didn't leave a way back for himself at the beginning, so unless he wanted to see him abandoned in the world, otherwise, he was destined to have no heirs when he was alive in this life...... After his death, the Xie family will most likely give him a step-heir, which is another matter.
At such a time, they all pay attention to unfilial piety, and there are three nos, how many people are camping for their children and grandchildren, Xie Wuzheng is now in his prime, and he has no thoughts of the future, so in addition to power, money, and beauty, what else can he pursue?
In terms of beauty, before Xie Wuzheng was still in the north, he had a fairly upright reputation, not Xie Fu's kind of romantic person, plus his wife was the eldest princess of the dynasty, so he would not mess around; As for the money...... Although the Xie family is nothing in front of these famous families in the court, it is also considered top-notch wealth in the countryside, and the brothers and sisters, as heirs, have excellent food and clothing. After coming to Dijing, I have seen the real high-ranking families, although I feel that the treatment in the past is nothing more than this. But it's still the same sentence, Xie Wuzheng is married to the eldest princess. After marriage, she also lived in the eldest princess's mansion. The degree of food and clothing is controlled by the eldest princess's mansion, and his current life is no worse than that of a famous concubine.
Even because the emperor treats Xiaozong's blood and blood well, if there are any good things, sometimes he would rather wronged himself and the harem, but also clinging to the three golden branches and jade leaves.
Xie Wuzheng's current life is comparable to Yun Fenghuan.
He has been the best person he has seen since he was a child, and he doesn't really have any concept of money.
Although also interested, but ...... As the sustenance for the rest of his life to chase hard, but not yet.
Then there is only power.
Anyway, he won't have an heir, even if he loses, no one will be able to affect his own flesh and blood, right?
In this way, it is no wonder that Xie Wuzheng feels that it is nothing to fail.
Because he may already regret it, be annoyed, and be angry now...... But the words that are said are difficult to collect, since he can't have an heir, he has removed a heavy shackle, and simply helped his cousin to pursue that position, regardless of success or failure in the future, he can also leave a name in history.
It's not in vain to come to this world.
Yun Fenghuan thought of this, and secretly sighed, and even had a faint joy.
was glad that Sui'an couldn't do this, but I didn't expect to help her by mistake.
If Xie Wuzheng already has an heir under his knees now, it is conceivable that he may be like the rest of the Xie family, thinking that the concubine now has a status and a pampered biological son, so why bother to continue tossing? Anyway, the Xie family will have a concubine and a favored vassal king in the future, and they will be able to ensure that they will be rich and prosperous for several generations.
Yun Fenghuang suppressed his joy and said softly: "Brother Twenty-one, is Your Highness still looking at the doctor recently?" But you don't know what the outcome will be? ”
She suddenly changed the topic, Xie Wuzheng was stunned, and then said a little unnaturally: "The imperial doctors have said that it is impossible to have any more heirs, but why bother to look at it again?" Is it a medicine that is three points poisonous, or is it better not to toss...... But His Highness didn't seem to give up, and quietly arranged for someone to diagnose. The minister had actually heard some rumors, and he had also persuaded His Highness to value his jade body. But His Royal Highness promised on his lips, but behind his back, he still ...... The minister can't help it, he can't get angry with His Highness, right? In this matter, the most uncomfortable thing is His Highness himself. When the minister came back this time, he also planned to mention it to His Majesty in private, to see if His Majesty could help persuade His Highness? ”
Saying this made Yun Fenghuan nod secretly, this is what a horse should look like.
The lintel is already far inferior, if you don't know how good it is for the golden branches and jade leaves...... If Sui'an was the eldest princess who was soft and no one cared about, her mother, Concubine Shen, and her brother Chun Jiake would not turn a deaf ear to her grievances.
"Your Majesty is busy with government affairs now, and your Majesty is probably not very easy to talk about women's affairs." Yun Fenghuang said, "Otherwise, when I turn around, this palace will be out of confinement, and I will talk to Your Majesty and His Royal Highness...... At the beginning, Brother Twenty-One was also young and vigorous, and now he is like this, I am afraid it is not what His Majesty wants to see. Even if you don't talk about taking concubines and giving birth to children, at least one or two from the clan, let Your Highness feel the joy of family with children around your knees, right? ”
Xie Wuzheng shook his head when he heard this, and said: "Niangniang's kindness, the minister has received it!" But Rong Chen said something sincerely: the minister himself is a son, and the rules of the family are clear, and the mother has also experienced it herself. Therefore, even if a concubine has a son, how can she compare with her son-in-law? As for the heir who said that he is not his own child, the minister really doesn't have the patience to treat it as his own. ”
There is no way to do it, Yun Fenghuan sighed slightly, but did not persuade again.
What she just said was also a temptation.
Because planning for the fifteenth prince is destined to be a very long thing, one is that Chunjia is not easy to deal with, and must be slowly figured out; The second is that the emperor is still young, and if he competes for the throne or something, it will be at least ten or twenty years later, even if he sits on the throne of the prince now, unless Chunjia suddenly dies, he may not be able to ascend the throne.
For such a long time, who knows if Xie Wuzheng will change his mind again?
Or did Sui An take the initiative to compromise and solve the problem of his heir? When the time comes, he has worries and bonds, and maybe he will think about getting off the boat.
At this moment, seeing that Xie Wuzheng was still the same as before, Yun Fenghuan's heart was a little calmer, and she could understand this kind of thinking very well, because she herself was about the same.
She can care for the seven princes and nine princes of Zhaoqing, the king of Qin, but this is mainly for Chunjia to see, as well as the need to maintain her own personality, as well as the interests of these children after they are raised.
Let her be pure, purposeless and selfish to be good to the child who is not related to her blood, even if it is in her own name...... She couldn't do it.
Not to mention that there is no blood, like Xie Meng, her niece, her appearance is similar, she has no city, and she is dedicated to her aunt...... Yun Fenghuan only considered one or two things for her on the premise of not harming her own interests.
It is impossible to look at it as one's own flesh and blood.
In fact, even if she is the fifteenth prince who is her own, if she dares to be as angry with her as Chunjia Qi Empress Dowager Yuan in the future, she probably won't be polite.
"In that case, let's not talk about it for now." Yun Fenghuan calmed down and said, "In the future, if Brother Twenty-One has other ideas, tell this palace again." ”
Although you are still very determined, what if you change your mind in the future?
So it's better to coax a little first, so as not to turn around and sell this palace, and this palace doesn't know!
"I don't know how it has been in the palace for the past few years?" Xie Wuzheng nodded, and the brother and sister had revealed this topic, so he asked, "Although there was a glimpse or two in the previous letter, it was not detailed enough?" ”
