Chapter 173: Tanuki
On the evening of the second day of the Mid-Autumn Festival in the seventh year of Chunjia, with the last rays of sunset sunset sinking into the floor, Yue Xiuyuan, who was born prematurely, almost struggled to die and gave birth to the eldest son of Emperor Chunjia.
When the baby less than seven months old landed, almost all of them were blue and purple, his eyes were closed, and his little face was wrinkled, Yun Fenghuang felt that this was probably the ugliest child in the world, and he didn't say a word!
I can't save it, bury it.
This thought only turned in her heart, but the doctor next to her took the child over, and after a beating, a weak baby cry came out.
"Did you hear that?" Empress Dowager Yuan lasted for a day, and she couldn't bear it anymore, and when she heard that her eye sockets were about to cry dry, tears rippled again, and she asked Yuan Neem, who had fallen asleep, "The child is alive!! ”
Yuan Neem Niang did not move.
The Queen Mother calmed down a little, Yun Fenghuang had already knelt on the ground, and said softly, "Congratulations to the Queen Mother, concubine, and the eldest grandson of the emperor!" ”
She took the lead, and the entire delivery room was congratulatory, and the Queen Mother couldn't stop her tears, crying, laughing, and putting her hand between the arms of the willows, trembling, and trembling, "I didn't expect it...... The mourning family also has this day to hug their grandchildren! ”
Dipping willow is also tears ripples, nodding his head vigorously, he can't say anything Since Chunjia's enthronement wedding, there are not a few concubines in this palace who are pregnant, but there are more miscarriages for various reasons, at that time, the Son of Heaven Taoguang was obscure, Empress Dowager Yuan and Empress Dowager Qu were deeply locked the palace door, and they were still trembling against a younger generation of Empress Ji, and the temple was the temple of the regent, Ji's, Zheng Gu, and Cui Wan; The harem is the harem of the Ji family and the Zheng family.
Yuan Neem always said that the grievances over the years have been too painful, in fact, for the Empress Dowager Yuan, for Chunjia, why not?
Empress Dowager Yuan even thought that the greed of the time needed to be repaid by Chunjia in the footsteps of Xiaozong.
It's just that at that time of Xiaozong, the former harem was worried about the childlessness under his knees, it was the first emperor who was destined to have no children, and the concubine gave birth to three princesses in a row, but none of them were male heirs.
Chunjia is ......
Until this moment, although the child was born prematurely, although he may not live long, although the cry was faint as if it would stop anytime and anywhere, Empress Dowager Yuan still had a kind of relaxation, and her heart fell.
Her prince will not be without an heir.
After this child, more children will be born.
Those imperial heirs will be more robust, and they will definitely grow up smoothly, and they will call her "imperial grandmother" with full of energy. Three or two can quarrel inside and outside the Chunyu Palace, and there may be intrigue and competition for favor even if it is bigger...... These things are extremely common and even boring for many people, but for the Queen Mother, they are long-awaited and unobtainable fireworks in the world.
Empress Dowager Yuan stopped her tears for a long time, and when she saw that Yun Fenghuang was still kneeling on the ground, she hurriedly pulled her up with her own hands, and said softly, "Good boy, today, but I have worked hard for you." ”
When the Queen Mother said this, she had obviously eased up from her excitement.
Yun Fenghuan didn't dare to slack off, and pursed his lips and smiled, "I don't know how many people in the palace want to see the little prince at this time, but they can't get it, the concubine is stained with the light of the queen mother, but she saw the little prince before Your Majesty, and it's too late to be happy and cheap, where is the hard work?" ”
These words reminded the Empress Dowager Yuan and asked left and right, "What about Your Majesty?" The child is too young, don't take it out to blow the wind, let His Majesty come in, and take a look at the door. ”
As a result, a palace maid went out, came back soon, and said embarrassedly, "If you go back to the Queen Mother, Your Majesty has left just now, and before leaving, I asked people to come in and persuade you to go back to the palace to rest for a while, and when the results come out, I will send someone to inform you!" ”
"......" The original kindness on Empress Dowager Yuan's face froze instantly,
Dipping Liu wanted to say something and stopped talking, in fact, when Chunjia left just now, she sent someone in to persuade the Queen Mother, and she was next to her, but at that time, the Queen Mother's mind was all on Yuan Neem, and she didn't pay attention at all.
She understood Chunjia's intentions, but she didn't really care about Yuan Neem, but as everyone thought before, she felt that Yuan Neem's child would not survive.
I simply didn't see it, and I didn't look at Yuan Neem's sadness and pain at this time, and when I heard the bad news later, it wasn't so uncomfortable.
The reason why the Empress Dowager was persuaded to leave was also because she was afraid that the Empress Dowager Yuan would not be able to bear it.
Standing in the position of dipping willow, she supports Chunjia, after all, in her eyes, the Empress Dowager Yuan is better
Yuan Neem is important.
But for Empress Dowager Yuan, even if Chunjia was raised by her as her own son
Big, such a demeanor also made her feel a little cold.
"Isn't it what happened in the previous dynasty?" Not to mention the Empress Dowager Yuan, even Yun Fenghuan, who hated Yuan Melia for not dying and giving birth to the emperor's eldest son, was a little unbearable, coughed dryly, and said roundly, "Queen Mother, Your Majesty has to leave, but I am afraid that there will be many people and ......."
The muscles on Empress Dowager Yuan's face twitched for a while, and after a while, she said lightly, "Yes." However, the mourning family didn't ask about political affairs, so they didn't inquire. Go back, and let someone go and report the good news to the emperor. ”
She turned her head to look at the little prince who was still being held by the imperial doctor, and there was a touch of sadness between her eyebrows, and said, "The little prince's milk name is called ...... Tanuki. ”
The group was silent for a moment before saying, "Yes." ”
At this time, the royal heirs, who have just landed, are generally not in a hurry to choose a name.
One is to let Qin Tianjian calculate according to the eight characters of his birthday, delineate the category, and then ask the Son of Heaven to write it; The second is that I am afraid that I will not be able to keep it.
Empress Dowager Yuan didn't mention this matter at all just now, but suddenly gave the little prince a milk name, obviously thinking that Chunjia was so cold, eighty percent would not bother with this child, let alone take a name, and after that, if the child can't keep it, it will be sad.
Chunjia didn't even want to wait for a result outside the delivery room, let alone anything else?
Of course, the Queen Mother takes "Tanuki Slave" as the name of the little prince, and probably hopes that this child can grow up vigorously and survive peacefully like the raccoon cats that can be seen everywhere in the palace.
"Chenguang is not early, the mourning family should go back." gave the name to the child, who was both the eldest grandson and the nephew, and the queen mother was also not interested, and whispered to Yuan Zhu and others to take care of Yuan Neem's mother and son, and then got up, "If there is anything, just send someone to the Spring Palace." ”
"The Queen Mother." Yun Fenghuan hurriedly said, "You've been busy for a long time, and you're definitely tired." The concubines here will take care of it, or let them go to Xuanqing Palace if there is something wrong! The concubine body allows people to keep the lamp, regardless of day and night, all of them! ”
She said this with bitterness, she didn't want to worry about it so much!
But there is no way, Empress Dowager Yuan's words are basically for her, if she wants to continue to act as the queen, she can't help but do things well.
After all, if it weren't for the queen's illness, taking care of Yuan Neem's mother and son would have been the queen's business.
Sure enough, the Queen Mother smiled slightly when she heard this, and bowed her head, "The true concubine has always been filial, so the mourning family depends on you." ”
Yun Fenghuang breathed a sigh of relief, knowing that this was the queen mother, who still supported her to preside over the harem, let the queen be "sick", and left the Qingdu to take care of her, and asked Dan Cao to go back to Xuanqing Palace to transfer Xie Hengyu to sit in the town, and he led the Qing people, took the queen mother's arm and walked out, "Concubine, send you back." ”
“…… In fact, back then, when Neem Niang was sent to the mourning family, the mourning family didn't like her. Empress Dowager Yuan acquiesced to her request, and the group went out of the main hall, but when they boarded the palace, they suddenly invited Yun Fenghuan to join them.
Although Yun Fenghuang was puzzled, he still obeyed his fate and accompanied the Queen Mother to Fengyuan.
She thought that the Queen Mother had something to tell her, but her side was silent until the honor guard left the Huzhu Palace, and the Queen Mother Yuan suddenly spoke, "If it weren't for the Mourning Family's bad chance of turning against the Yuan family at that time, I really wanted to send people back and let them change them." ”
"......"
She was still analyzing why the Queen Mother said this, why she told her, why she said it at this time, but the Queen Mother continued, "The first is that she was born too ordinary, and she is not even as good as a mourning family...... How can he be worthy of the prince who made up pink and jade when he was a child? ”
Although it is said that marrying a wife and marrying virtue is true, for the Empress Dowager Yuan, she has no children under her knees, and the concubine she raises is the only child, and she regards it as if she were a mother's love for her son, of course she feels that her son deserves to be the best girl in the world.
In particular, Chunjia is not only from a clan, but also has a very good appearance, but also is smart and filial, considerate and well-behaved.
Empress Dowager Yuan felt that her son was good everywhere, and he was simply the best child in the world!
The ladies who are both talented and beautiful are naturally not worthy of him.
As a result, Yuan Neem's appearance was followed in the palace
will pull a high-level maid, and she can be compared.
It's not just that she's not satisfied with this niece's appearance, "The second is that she has an impatient temperament, and the mourning family talks to her parents, and asks the emperor to take her down to play, that's it."
time, she was unwilling to give the emperor because she wanted something from the emperor, so she bit the emperor! ”
The most important thing is that she also threatened Chunjia not to tell the Empress Dowager Yuan, but Chunjia really didn't dare to say it.
After the person who was still serving Chunjia found out afterwards, he was afraid of taking responsibility, so he reported to the Empress Dowager Yuan.
Empress Dowager Yuan was distressed and angry, holding back her anger, pulling the young Chunjia to ask the reason slowly, and Chunjia at that time said in a milky voice, "My cousin said that the child can become the son of the world, and the mother concubine can be the concubine in the future, thanks to the Yuan family, if the child makes her unhappy......"
There is no need to listen to the following words.
Empress Dowager Yuan was so angry that her whole body trembled, she forcibly comforted him and sent him away, and behind closed the door, she hugged Dipping Willow and cried for most of the day.
Wiping away her tears, she saw Yuan Neem Niang again, so she restrained all the pickiness, gentleness and love, connivance and generosity, more than her mother, Yuan Yuan closed her eyes, and said slowly, "At that time, the mourning family was of course uneasy and kind to her, thinking that it would be best to give birth to a son-in-law anyway, but if she couldn't give birth, she just settled the account, and let the Yuan family return it with interest." is also considered to be a mourning family and the emperor, and they have not suffered the grievances of those years in vain! ”
Yun Fenghuang lowered his eyebrows and didn't dare to make a sound, and said in his heart, my mother only said that you connived at Yuan Neem Niang to become more and more willful, I am afraid that you have bad intentions towards Yuan Neem, but I don't want you to even calculate Yuan's family.
If it weren't for Chunjia's unexpected ascension to the throne and the need for Yuan's support, it is estimated that Empress Dowager Yuan would have questioned Yuan's "not strict goddaughter" long ago.
It's no wonder that Yuan Qianniang, who is also a niece, looks more sensible, but is not as favored by the rampaging Yuan Neem Niang as the Empress Dowager Yuan.
Co-authored Empress Dowager Yuan has long been dissatisfied with Yuan.
"It's a pity that the mourning family overestimates themselves too much." Empress Dowager Yuan didn't care about her thoughts, sighed, and said quietly, "In the past twenty years, even a dog and a cat will be reluctant." The mourning family is not as ruthless and unrighteous as they think, even if the mourning family has been thinking about it all these years, when the time comes, they will throw this disobedient and troublesome niece out in exchange for some benefits...... But as she said, when the matter came, the mourning family was reluctant......"
She opened her eyes and didn't look at Yun Fenghuan, she only smiled miserably, "It's really my niece, I think I'm so ruthless, but at the last moment, I retreated." ”
Seeing Yun Fenghuan bowing his head and looking panicked, Empress Dowager Yuan curled the corners of her lips and said comfortingly, "I don't mean anything else to tell you this." Today's ...... Neem Niang is not calm, and the mourning family is ...... It is also overturned. At this moment, I really want to find someone to talk about these things. was supposed to tell the emperor, but it happened that he wasn't there, so he could only pull you to listen. Don't dislike mourning when your family is old, just love it! ”
"Niangniang, this is taking the concubine as her own." Yun Fenghuang hurriedly said, "The concubine is only happy in her body and heart, how can she dislike it?" ”
Empress Dowager Yuan said softly, "You are very lucky, although you are not from a high background, you at least have no worries about food and clothing, and the most important thing is that you have a good mother, she taught you very well." It's so good that even if you rush into battle and share the queen's worries, you still do a good job...... If you have Ji Lingzi's background, you must be much better than her. ”
"Tonight's words, there is no need to spread them, and you don't think too much about Neem Niang being deliberately taught by the mourning family from the beginning, not to mention the concubine, she can't even be a princess."
"I hope after today...... She can wake up as you said, and in the future, she will have a good life with her children. ”
As he spoke, Feng Yuan had already arrived at the Spring Palace.
Yun Fenghuang hurriedly helped Empress Dowager Yuan down.
Empress Dowager Yuan did not enter the palace immediately after landing, but she still held Yun Fenghuang's hand and said in a low voice, "Huzhu Palace is handed over to you to take care of, and the mourning family is very relieved." ”
"The concubine will live up to her mother's trust!" Yun Fenghuan took a deep breath and said respectfully, "Also, Niangniang, the concubine wants to ...... Well...... The birth of the emperor's eldest son, such good news, the concubine wants to ask for a trick, and she will go to congratulate His Majesty again, is it okay? ”
Empress Dowager Yuan glanced at her deeply, and there was a hint of satisfaction in her eyes, "Go ahead." ”
She knew that Yun Fenghuang meant to personally persuade Chunjia to deal with Huzhu Palace
Mother and son are a little better.
At least install it a little better.
This can be regarded as a support for Empress Dowager Yuan's representative Yuan Neem Niang, who will be an honest concubine with children after being soft, and will no longer support Yun Fenghuang and euphemistic promises better than Ji Lingzi.
Carry out the reciprocation.
