Chapter 149: Mothers Are More Precious Than Daughters?
The regent lasted several days longer than expected, and even came back to see some of the old people in the Dingbei army before leaving.
Chen Jing vaguely told Tongyun Fenghuan, Qi Jiulu also specially took leave to visit, came to visit that day, and left a stick of incense in the regent room before and after, and then talked to Gong Xiangxiao before getting on the horse at the gate, and left in the dust...... Although this scene marked him as the regent Yu Dang, it also made many people feel that he still had a conscience.
After all, when he first came to the imperial capital, the father and son of the regent were really not thin on him.
Now that the regent is dying, if he doesn't come forward, it will be too cold.
Yun Fenghuang didn't say anything about it.
The day after Qi Jiulu left, the regent began to deteriorate.
He was in the army back then, and he was not the kind of clan relative who ate and waited for death, so he had a good foundation.
In addition, Chunjia knew that he didn't have long to live, so he was happy to make a show, and all good things were sent over like flowing water, and he hung his life stiffly...... But it lasted for more than half a month, and then he died.
During this period, Chunjia and the Empress Dowager both went to visit.
even asked Qin Wang Zhaoqing and other elderly imperial heirs to come over to invite An, making enough gestures of intimacy and royal friendship between uncles and nephews.
No matter how you count it, it's all lively.
On the day of leaving, the emperor shed tears in public after hearing the news, and confided in the royal children for a long time about the difficulties of the royal children in the past two years: "Back then, I was able to govern pro-government, thanks to the support of my uncle. I thought that my uncle was still in the prime of life, and the future would be long, but who knows, it's only been a few years, and people say it's gone...... I lost my father when I was young, and I didn't know my heir father in my life, and my only uncle was also so shallow. Heaven waits for me, how thin! ”
Anyway, even if it is clear that he wishes that the regent would be cold soon, or simply suspect that the regent is the one who made him cold, seeing this situation, you can't help but say that he is filial.
The filial emperor sent the regent away, and in turn he turned his head and degraded the Lu family to a concubine.
Originally, it was a basic operation to murder her husband, or to kill the blood of the gods' sect by her step-concubine, and to break her bones and scatter ashes, and to involve her mother's family.
However, after all, the real murderer is Hele, and the step-concubine is also a victim, coupled with some unknown twists and turns in it, in the end, Lu Chuncao was cut into a commoner and sent out of the imperial capital.
This made Yun Fenghuang very curious, because as far as she knew about Chunjia, the Lu family could not kill, but Lu Chuncao had to be removed.
Now it's the other way around, it can be said that it's handled lightly, what is the reason for this?
It's just that Chunjia is very tight-lipped about this, and she refuses to reveal it even if she tries to find out.
was asked a lot, so I simply handed over a messenger to her: "I promised to keep Brother Zhen under my knees, so that my uncle would not remember me." Now that the uncle's future affairs have been settled, people still have to help Ah Huang watch it, don't ask King Qin to make too much trouble with Uncle Tang. ”
"Your Majesty said this, King Qin, they are sensible, how can they go to trouble the little prince?" Yun Fenghuang said, "Two days ago, Zhaoqing asked the concubine to bring her more pastries, saying that it was for the little prince. ”
Gong Xiangzhen is said to be very muddy these days, because he has been raised in the palace, he has not had much contact with people, and he is young, so his mind is relatively simple.
After a series of heavy blows, the kid was a bit of a wreck.
Recently, it's basically all about a little instinct, and let me do what I do.
Chunjia arranged a place for him to live in the palace, and his daily routine was with King Qin and them.
As for Zhaoqing bringing pastries to this little uncle, of course there is none...... Yun Fenghuan casually pulled it to cover up for the children.
In fact, King Qin and Zhaoqing don't like to play with Gong Xiangzhen very much, mainly because these two children are lively and tight, Gong Xiangzhen didn't know before, he must not be in the mood to be lively at this time, so several nephews and nieces ignored him.
However, Yun Fenghuan is not afraid of being exposed, anyway, Chunjia is also busy at this time, even if she finds out, she said: "The little prince must be unsettled now, afraid that the children will disturb his memory of his biological father and mother, so the concubine does not allow the children to entangle." ”
That's it.
Sure enough, Chunjia didn't doubt it when he heard this, and said with a smile on his face: "I know that although Zhaoqing is a little anxious, he is a good boy with a good heart. ”
Yun Fenghuan said with a smile: "Your Majesty really loves the little prince, so let's do it, if Your Majesty allows it, the concubine will ask the little prince to come over and comfort a few words tomorrow?" Speaking of which, the little prince has been in the palace for a few days, but His Majesty has only seen it, but the harem has not summoned him to consol him, and I don't know if the little prince is worried in his heart? didn't make it a concubine, these people didn't care much about him? ”
Speaking of which, she hadn't seen this child who had been hidden by the Lord Regent, so she was curious.
The regent hid this young son tightly, but Chunjia didn't have this idea, after all, leaving Gongxiangzhen in front of him, in addition to being a hostage, he also wanted to show the world his benevolence and generosity, so Gongxiangzhen was pulled out more times in the future.
At this moment, in the face of the request of the favorite concubine, he said: "It's still thoughtful and thoughtful." ”
So the next day, Yun Fenghuang asked people to bring Gong Xiangzhen to him, this child was completely different from what she thought, or what was rumored by the outside world.
Although he was a little nervous and embarrassed by rare people, he was full of energy, and he didn't look like he had been weak and sick since childhood.
So what is the Lord Regent hiding from him?
Could it be that he felt that he had no hope in the morning, and took advantage of his stepwife's entry to alienate his eldest son, and then hid this young son in exchange for them being able to be accommodated by Chunjia now?
But if the regent really resigned himself to his fate before......
But why bother to say goodbye to Chunjia for so long?
At the time when the Ji clan was destroyed, he threw himself in the towel, and Chunjia could still treat him badly in order to show the world?
Wouldn't it be good for the family to go to the feudal kingdom to reunite at that time? Do you have to make the husband and wife cool now, and the two sons are happy?
Can't figure it out.
The concubine, who couldn't figure it out, entertained Gong Xiangzhen very gently and kindly, and told King Qin and Zhaoqing to respect their uncle on the spot...... At the end, he instructed Chen Jing to stare at some people: "With the appearance of this little prince, the palace can't see that the regent has the need to hide him...... Isn't there something else going on? ”
Not only was she suspicious, but she went to the queen to ask for peace the next day, but the queen let the others disperse, leaving her to speak, and quietly complained: "Did you see cousin Zhen yesterday?" The palace sent someone to send him something two days ago, and the person who came back said that he was very good, although he had reduced some of it, but it was all because of grief, and the doctor diagnosed that there was no major problem, and there was no deficiency...... I really don't know what the regent did before to keep him from showing up? ”
"I don't know?" Yun Fenghuan was quite surprised, and said, "The concubine still wants to come and inquire with Niangniang." ”
After all, the relationship between the Gu family and the regent is very close.
The queen said, "What did you do when you inquired about this before?" Later, when I was curious, it was not suitable. ”
The two chatted for a while, and the family of the Regent's Mansion felt that they couldn't figure out the Regent's operation.
The queen sighed again that Yin Nu Luo's life was good: "She was the Marquis of Shouning before and refused to pay attention to the regent palace, but now the regent and the step-concubine are gone, she has become the princess of Yi, and there is no one above to hold her back, but she is relaxed." I heard that King Yi was still good to her, and the young couple went to the fiefdom, presumably with Hemeimei. It may be a little reluctant to Yin Qu and the Seven Princes. ”
Yun Fenghuang smiled: "These two generations of clan relatives are withering, Your Majesty is just such two siblings, even if they are allowed to go to the feudal domain because of the rules, can they be recalled for reunion during the New Year's Festival?" ”
Even if it's not for the sake of posturing, you have to prevent some people from seeing the situation clearly, and they still have to provoke the public to make trouble.
The vassal king left the imperial capital and went to the fiefdom, and it was not for nothing that he was restless.
"That's just as well." The queen bowed her head and said, "It's just that Princess Yi hasn't made any movement at this time, and it's even more difficult to count on filial piety next, but this heir has to be delayed." ”
Yun Fenghuang said: "It's nothing, she and Yiwang are so young. Do you think that when King Qin landed, His Majesty was also in his twenties, and now he is not the heir of the emperor? ”
After chatting for a while, the queen finally remembered what was going on, so she said to her, "Concubine Xian wants to adopt the second princess, what do you think?" ”
"Concubine Xian?" Yun Fenghuang sighed, and said in his heart that these two princesses ...... How is it so powerful?
When I came to the palace, I pit Concubine Shu, and I was raised by the queen for two days and then took Concubine Xian, which is really ......
She thought for a moment and said, "But the second princess is the daughter of Concubine Jing, this matter depends on Concubine Jing's meaning, right?" Even if it's a mother, you're just temporarily raising it. ”
The queen said, "Isn't it? But Concubine Xian came over in person and said that she felt that she fell in love with the second princess, and said that Concubine Jing was not very interested in the second princess, and everyone in the palace knew it. Now that Concubine Jing has her own child, I'm afraid that she won't love the second princess even more. It's her, who has lost two children in a row, and the latter one is also the princess, and now when she sees the second princess, she can't help but think of her own flesh and blood. If the second princess went to her, she would not treat the second princess badly. ”
Yun Fenghuang asked, "What does that Niangniang mean?" ”
"Who raises the princess is not raised." The queen frowned, "Your Majesty also said, these days, I will follow the virtuous concubine, and I should see the face of Prince Xifa." It's just that Concubine Jing is not with her now, even if she sends someone back to ask...... That's a bit out of order. ”
She was a little upset.
The second princess was originally a child under Concubine Jing's name, but because Concubine Jing was going to be confined in the palace and couldn't leave, Concubine Shu brought her to the palace, because Concubine Shu was not well taken care of...... There may be a bit of an inside story here, in short, the queen takes people to her side and takes care of them herself.
She felt that there was nothing bad for the imperial heirs, especially the many princes under her knees, and finally a royal daughter came, even if it was only temporary, the queen really did not treat the second princess badly.
Who knew that the second princess turned her head and asked Concubine Xian to come over in person, which was difficult not to make the queen suspicious, thinking that what Concubine Shu said was right, these two princesses were young but not simple, and what does this mean? It's okay if Concubine Shu didn't take care of you, didn't this palace take care of you either?
You are not satisfied with your previous heir concubine Jing and want to change your mother, why don't you want to change to the knee of the palace, but the virtuous concubine?
The queen said lightly at this moment, "It's just that I don't know what the second princess said to Concubine Xian, her attitude is very resolute, and the palace is not easy to refuse for a while." But I don't know if the concubine has any way? ”
"There are many princes under the knees of the left and right mothers, and they are usually busy with palace affairs, and they are also lacking in skills." Yun Fenghuang said casually, "Concubine Xian likes the second princess so much, let her take care of the second princess first." As for how to arrange the second princess in the future, and after returning to the palace, it is not too late to break it in front of Concubine Jing. After all, Concubine Xian herself said that she felt that she fell in love with the second princess, so as long as the second princess was by her side, she should have no opinion. Title or something, presumably she or the second princess, it doesn't matter. ”
“…… Also. The queen breathed a sigh of relief, she didn't want to rely on the virtuous concubine and the second princess like this, after all, she was not happy, and if the other concubines said that she couldn't say it, she would have to scold her.
But Concubine Xian is a princess of another race after all, and now the relationship between the dynasty and Xifa is very delicate.
The queen is a little embarrassed.
Now that the concubine is talking about this, it's a way.
After returning to the palace, she wanted to refuse, so she just asked Concubine Jing to come forward and tear it up.
Concubine Jing is the heir mother, even if Gong Ban knows that she doesn't like the second princess very much, she is not abused in the end, and it is natural that she refuses to give her daughter to others.
Yun Fenghuang asked again: "How did the second princess get together with Concubine Xian?" The concubine remembered that the mother and the concubine lived not close. ”
"Who knows, children always like to run around the mountains." The queen's eyes flashed, and she said, "The palace is afraid that it is not good to hold them too closely, so they are all accompanied by people, and they are not stumbling over them, and they don't have much time to ask where they went." It was still the virtuous concubine who came to ask for someone, and the palace knew that the second princess was very close to the virtuous concubine. ”
After a pause, she said, "Concubine Xian hasn't seen His Majesty for a few days since she had a miscarriage, so it's no wonder that she likes the second princess very much." ”
This is a hint that she suspects that Concubine Xian wants the second princess, and it is the drunkard's intention not to drink.
After all, although the second princess is not as popular as Zhaoqing to please the emperor, but now the heirs of the emperor who are about to enter the palace, the second prince and the third prince, have always been ignored by Chunjia because of their biological mother.
The rest are King Qin, Zhaoqing, the second princess and the third princess.
And the women of the Three Emperors are soft and timid, and they are more in awe of Chunjia than they are close, and sometimes Chunjia takes the initiative to show affection, but she also hides behind Zhaoqing and does not dare to show up.
In this way, after King Qin and Zhaoqing, Chunjia naturally paid the most attention to the second princess.
After all, although this little girl is not as natural as King Qin and Zhaoqing get along with the emperor, she can be regarded as generous, well-behaved and cute.
Chunjia is concerned about her daughter, and there is no reason to throw her mother aside.
The reason why Concubine Jing was suspicious last year was not unrelated to the number of times the second princess appeared in front of the emperor.
Concubine Xian may want her mother to be more expensive than her daughter.
"It's also a good thing that they fell in love." Yun Fenghuang smiled, "It's just that fate is also difficult to say, some people are long and some people are short, it's better to look at the point." ”
She can't talk about good or bad relationship with Concubine Xian now, so she doesn't want to mix in this matter very much.
Since the queen asked, she came up with an idea to delay.
The rest of the clouds are too lazy to worry about.
This year, because of the death of the regent, Chunjia has been in a good mood.
But when he was about to leave to return to the palace, the news from the north made the emperor's good mood disappear!
