A few days later, the regent presented the excerpt in public, as if he had completely forgotten that he had talked about the unfilial stepmother of the son two days ago, and praised the pure filial piety of Gong Xiangxiao, and finally said that such a good son unfortunately passed on his biological mother's frailty and illness, and it was very bad in the past two days.

Chunjia naturally agreed directly.

So the imperial physician went to the regent palace for two days in full view of everyone, and Chunjia had to send a close attendant to visit, and after two days, Gong Xiangxiao's handwritten excerpt arrived in front of the palace, asking for the removal of the deceased son on the grounds of illness.

According to the tacit understanding, Chunjia refused, refused, refused again, and agreed to the fourth time, and soon made a holy decree to rename him a marquis.

Gong Xiangxiao was still recuperating from his injuries at this time, but after receiving this will, he asked people to pack up their things and leave the palace without saying a word.

I would rather go to live in the courtyard where Chunjia placed the palace maid before, rather than stay in the palace for one more day.

The regent was indifferent when he heard the news, and Concubine Lu Jifei, who was also recuperating from her injuries in the backyard, gritted her teeth with hatred, wondering if she should do something while this uninteresting stepson was alone?

"Mother, never." However, the bride-in-waiting reminded, "You forgot? This time, the prince originally planned to abolish the world directly...... Shouning Marquis, but the Empress Dowager personally intervened, and His Majesty also helped Shouning Marquis, which delayed these days, and gave him a marquis! At this time, if he has three long and two short, how can the two in the palace give up? Slowly, His Majesty will inevitably fall into the well of the palace, even the Queen Mother, I am afraid that she will not give up. After all, who called Shou Ninghou often went in and out of the palace when he was a child, and he was also watched by the Queen Mother? ”

Lu Jifei hated: "That cheap seed is the blood of the Divine Sect, isn't the Zhen'er I gave birth to?!" I knew that Zhen'er should have been in front of the Queen Mother from time to time, so what kind of was that! ”

said so, but Lu Jifei also knew in her heart that it was impossible for Gong Xiangzhen to replicate Gong Xiangxiao's status and feelings in front of the Empress Dowager.

Gongxiangxiao often went in and out of Qingci Palace when Xiaozong was still there, and the relationship between the Empress Dowager and the regent had Xiaozong as a buffer, which was not very bad. And at that time, the Empress Dowager did not expect that her biological son would become extinct, looking at Gong Xiangxiao's cheap grandson, although there are regrets, but there is no lack of hope.

Later, Xiaozong died, Ji refused to let the regent's father and son take the throne, and would rather choose an heir for Xiaozong from a distant branch, the empress dowager chose her mother's family, and the relationship between the two sides deteriorated...... I didn't let him see the Empress Dowager much with me.

This is true for the eldest son, but for the youngest son born in the stepfamily, the regent is more cautious, and after so many years, he doesn't know what the young son of the regent palace looks like.

How could Gong Xiangzhen want to go to the Empress Dowager to compete for favor, and besides, the Empress Dowager at this time may not be in the mood to let the concubine's children always sway in front of her.

"Is that the end of the matter this time?!" understood and understood, but Lu Jifei still felt aggrieved, and said to herself a little unwillingly, "Although that scumbag has lost the position of the son of the world this time, he still has to be named a marquis, and he has left the imperial capital since then, but he is happy and happy!" ”

The marriage persuaded him: "Isn't what you want in your heart to be the son of our little prince?" Now that the Marquis of Shouning has changed his title to marquis and given up the position of the prince, wouldn't it be good? Otherwise, Shou Ninghou has always been in good health, and he is the eldest son of the Yuan Match, whether he has three long and two short or has done something bad, so he has lost the position of the son, and there is some speculation outside, what is the benefit to our little prince? ”

Could it be that it is glorious to squeeze out the brothers to the top?

Even if you do, it's hard to admit it!

Now that Gong Xiangxiao has taken the initiative to retreat, isn't it better than bearing the charge of killing him and harming him?

And the maid is still a little afraid, although it is no secret that Gong Xiangxiao was often teased by the Empress Dowager when he was a child, but no one expected that when the Regent Mansion revealed that he was going to abolish his position as the prince, not only Chunjia came out to persuade him, but the Empress Dowager would also intervene strongly.

I actually value this cheap grandson more than I value my concubine.

If Gong Xiangxiao hadn't taken the initiative to leave this time, even if their master and servant had murdered Gong Xiangxiao, I am afraid they would have to face the wrath of the Queen Mother!

This master's seniority and identity are left there, because of the Ji family, there are no taboos to care about now, what can't be done?

The key is that Lu Jifei's master and servant, including Lu Chuncao, what is there to compromise with the Empress Dowager?

“…… Cheap that cheap seed! Lu Jifei wanted to understand this, sighed, and said, "That's it, find some people to keep an eye on him, that dares to do something to me in front of the prince." Now that he has set up his own door, do you know if he will think about it against our mother and son? It's better to be on guard. ”

If you can find some fatal tricks from this, not to mention what happened to Jiang Gongxiao, at least move his title.

Anyway, as long as this stepson is unlucky, Lu Jifei will be happy.

…… This matter is in a uproar in the government and the opposition, and there is not much time in the palace to take care of it, after all, the birthday of the Empress Dowager Qu has arrived.

When the Empress Dowager Qu first learned that she was going to celebrate her this year, she was resolutely opposed, and the reason she told Chunjia was that she was the concubine of King Duanwang of Fuyang, and it was already a fluke to get the queen mother, and the regent before they objected to her raising her in the palace with the Empress Dowager Yuan.

She is a useless biological mother, she can't help Chunjia anything, what she can do is try not to cause trouble to her biological son.

Chunjia naturally reassured him again and again, promising that nothing would happen...... But he didn't know that Empress Dowager Qu turned her head and burst into tears in front of Concubine Xian, who was ordered to come over and ask her what she wanted for the birthday banquet: "When the mourning family first entered the palace, it was one year younger than you entered the palace, but it was only fourteen. From serving the first king at that time, and then following His Majesty's mother and son to the imperial capital to be the queen mother, in the past few decades, there has never been a serious life! At most, the people around me quietly put down a bowl of longevity noodles and said two auspicious words to the mourning family, which is considered a birthday! ”

Yun Fenghuang said softly: "Your Majesty has your grievances in your eyes, don't you see that this year is not the sixth palace thinking about how to congratulate you?" ”

"This is just the mourning family's life in exchange!" Empress Dowager Qu was not grateful, and said with a sneer, "Others don't know that you don't know? If it weren't for His Majesty knowing what the Yuan family's cheap maid had done, and keeping his heart in the field, would the mourning family have such an honor? ”

The Queen Mother smiled sarcastically and said, "The mourning family came from a humble background, and you seemed to be a very noble lady in the mourning family at that time...... So after the mourning family was elected to the palace because of their appearance, they were very scared! Don't dare to fight for anything, don't dare to do anything, it's the same as wood, whatever the masters say! I thought that this would please the master, but I didn't expect ......"

She shook her head and sighed lightly, "So when the mourning family sees you, they feel much happier in their hearts." I really hope that I can be like you at the beginning, and I will fight for what I want! Instead of taking a wrong step. ”

Yun Feng said in his heart This is also something that can't be helped, Empress Dowager Qu was sold into the palace by her family, how can she teach her daughter with such a humble background? Of course, there are some people who can rise from the recklessness without a teacher, but it is clear that the Empress Dowager Qu does not belong to one of them.

If she were the Empress Dowager Qu, she would have taken advantage of the contradiction between the Empress Dowager Yuan and the Concubine Fuyangzhuang to gain a foothold in the palace and seek the position of the side concubine.

In this way, it is a question whether the Empress Dowager Yuan can raise Chunjia, let alone let the Empress Dowager Yuan raise her adoptive mother above her biological mother.

…… She walked down, and immediately smiled: "Niangniang, you said that you want to be like a concubine, why don't concubines envy Niangniang?" In any case, you are the biological mother of His Majesty, and with this, you say that in this world, throughout the ages, how many people can match you? As for the Chun Xiang Palace, the Empress Dowager has always been worried a lot, and you are clean here, which is the most suitable for recuperation. Who knows what will happen in the future? ”

Of course, this is not to persuade the Empress Dowager Qu to go to bed early and get up early to maintain and survive the Empress Dowager Yuan, but to imply to her that the Empress Dowager Yuan has so many things to consider, you only need to think about one thing: how to kill him and replace him.

That's it.

Come slowly, maybe you will find a chance to send her down to see the concubine of Fuyangzhuang?

The two exchanged tacit glances, and the Empress Dowager Qu slowly wiped away her tears, and asked with a chuckle: "Why didn't you bring your two nieces with you today?" The mourning family also wants to see if the little girl named Xie Meng is really more and more like you as she grows. ”

"They're making a fuss, and they're afraid they're going to make a noise about you." Yun Fenghuang came to get serious and inquired about the news by the way, how could he bring two children who didn't know anything yet, so he said, "Meng'er's eyebrows and eyes are quite similar to the concubine's body, but the temperament is more jumpy than the concubine's body. Catch up with Ming'er's concubine and give her a good manner, and then bring it to you to say goodbye. ”

Empress Dowager Qu said: "Don't be too restrained by children, the mourning family actually likes the appearance of children." ”

As if remembering something, he sighed, "Kunze used to be quite lively, but these days it is quiet. ”

She didn't mention the county lord of Kunze, Yun Fenghuang almost forgot that Chunjia had a sister, and she was stunned before she smiled and said: "Xu is the county lord has grown up, and the girls are much quieter when they grow up." ”

After talking like this for a while, seeing that the Queen Mother had no other instructions, she retired.

returned to the Huanhua Palace, disposed of some palace affairs, and presided over justice to Xie Meng and Xie Kuo, who had a dispute, and Chunjia also came over.

Yun Fenghuang told him about the birthday banquet, which was originally slightly reduced compared to the specifications of the previous Wanshou Festival, but the Empress Dowager Qu insisted on refusing to be too extravagant, and only let a few tables be set up in the Jiashan Palace, and went to the harem to congratulate Yihe, and the teacher arranged two dances.

As for the women who are ordered to meet the ministers and congratulate them, they are not allowed.

She was resolute in this, and after discussing it with Yun Fenghuan, both parties thought that it was actually no good to be so high-profile at the moment, but it made Chunjia feel that she had made up for her biological mother to some extent, and it was better to continue to be wronged, so as to make Chunjia more worried about it.

So at this time, Chunjia frowned slightly when she heard it, saying that she felt that it was too simple and not lively enough, so Yun Fenghuang said: "I also said this to the Queen Mother, but the Queen Mother said that her Jiashan Palace has been quiet for many years, and she is not used to it when it is too lively." ”

Chunjia was silent for a while when he heard this, sighed, and asked again: "What else does Queen Qu have to say?" ”

"There is nothing else, it is just a mention of the lord of Kunze." Yun Fenghuan heard the words and his heart moved, so he said, "When the words are in a hurry, the county lord has also grown up, and I don't know if the queen mother is thinking about the marriage of the county lord?" ”

Chunjia groaned and said: "Kunze's marriage, if Queen Qu wants to make her own decisions, it will be done, but she can't choose from the noble family. ”

After all, it can't be said that the husband he found for his blood sister was more noble than the one he found for his heirs.

Yun Fenghuang said: "It's better for you to tell the Queen Mother in person, so that the Queen Mother can be happier." I'm going to look at her now, and I see that she is just cowardly, and her interest is not very high. ”

“…… I'll look at it for two days. Chunjia frowned slightly when he heard this, he didn't go to Jiashan Palace much, and he didn't do it before, since the Empress Dowager Qu almost died at the hands of the Empress Dowager Yuan, he was very embarrassed to go, after all, an adoptive mother and a biological mother, no matter how deep the hatred between each other is, there is nothing wrong with him.

He is more partial to the Empress Dowager Yuan, after all, he gets along more with the Empress Dowager Yuan, but he is not completely unfriendly with his biological mother.

After all, he did not favor the Empress Dowager Yuan to the point of letting her kill the Empress Dowager Qu.

So now every time I go to see the Empress Dowager Qu, I feel a little inexplicably embarrassed.

I subconsciously wanted to drag it out.

Yun Fenghuang knew it well, and said with a smile: "It's okay in two days, otherwise the Queen Mother will guess that it was me who revealed your mouth, and she may not be so surprised." After two days, it seems that you have come up with it yourself. ”

Chunjia said: "It's still Ah Huang who is sympathetic to me." ”

They laughed for a while, listened to the rain outside, and then packed up and settled.

The next day, the birthday of the Empress Dowager Qu arrived, and there was a rare noise in the Jiashan Palace, and a banquet was put on the table early.

Originally, according to the rules, the Empress Dowager Qu needed to ask the Empress Dowager and Empress Dowager Yuan successively on this day, but now she and Empress Dowager Yuan are both so sick that they are "difficult to get up from the couch"? So I can only send the palace people to run errands on my behalf.

The attendants in front of her went to Qingci Palace and Chunyu Palace, and the main owner was not seen, but there was no shortage of congratulatory gifts.

Around noon, Gu Zhen led the costumed concubines to come over to congratulate An, and the whole palace became more and more lively.

Yun Fenghuang led the two nieces this time, and asked someone to hold the eldest prince and Princess Zhaoqing.

Empress Dowager Qu originally looked faint, but when she saw the respectful flattery of Gu Zhen and others, she didn't think so, but she finally smiled a little when she saw these four children.

The eldest prince and Princess Zhaoqing are her biological grandchildren, and they should have been closer, but they are too young, so they are not as fun as Xie Meng and Xie Kuo, so the Empress Dowager Qu hugged the two grandchildren, and asked Yun Fenghuang to send people back to the Huanhua Palace: "The mourning family here is bound to be ruthless today, the child is still young, don't be disturbed later, it's not good." ”

Yun Fenghuang didn't want such a young imperial heir to join in the fun, but on his grandmother's birthday, the grandchildren in the swaddling clothes had no reason not to be there, so he asked the nurse to hold them and kowtow to the queen mother to celebrate her birthday, and took the queen mother's reward on her behalf, so she let Qingdu watch the two children go back.

The other imperial heirs were also treated similarly, in short, the banquet had not yet started, and only Xie Meng and Xie Kuo were in front of the queen mother.

After all, these imperial heirs are the biological heirs of the Empress Dowager Qu, and she took the initiative to send them back, so she just returned them. The point is, on such an occasion today, there are still people who are absent.

Well, it's still Chunke's wife Yuan Neem.

Including the two palace concubines in her palace, Yuan Liniang and the Li family, did not show up.

Gu Zhen struggled for a while, and finally mentioned it to the Empress Dowager Qu, saying that the lord of Huzhu Palace has been sick recently, and the palace concubines are afraid of being sick every day, so they dare not come to Jiashan Palace.

Empress Dowager Qu's expression remained unchanged when she heard this, and she said that she knew.

This matter was already in the past, but after half an hour, the banquet was opened, and Chunjia, who arrived in a hurry, personally accompanied the Empress Dowager Qu to eat wine at the top, and the singing and dancing of the new row of the teaching workshop division was very good-looking, and when the atmosphere was right, the people from Huzhu Palace came.

I came to report that the Li family suddenly had a fetal gas, and it seemed that he was about to give birth, and he wanted to invite Chunjia to go over with the queen to sit in town.
