Yun Fenghuang and the attendants were racking their brains to discuss, and the people from the outer palace came to tell them that the Holy Driver was coming.

She hurriedly tidied up her skirt and went out to welcome Chunjia into the house.

This spring, because the wind and rain are smooth, the emperor is relatively leisurely, so every day after reviewing the recital, he will come to rest. Yun Fenghuang was not surprised, but said with a smile: "Your Majesty came just in time, and the concubine is worried here, so I just asked Your Majesty to help come up with an idea." ”

Chunjia asked what was the matter.

Yun Fenghuang said that many people came to test the tone and wanted to ask Shang Zhaoqing for the children of the family: "...... At first, the concubine was angry when she heard it, and the girl who was raised by the concubine was just that, like a flower, how old is this? The concubine didn't expect that so many things would go up, and someone actually made an idea! It's just a dog's heart! However, in the past two years, there have been more and more people, and the concubine can't be angry! Besides, last time, what Duchess Ning Guo said was also reasonable, even if Zhaoqing would be lowered out in two years, it would almost look like it, otherwise how would you know if the good reputation circulating outside was pretended? There are still two years before Zhaoqing and Lu Ke, and two years of hard work is not enough for many families to whitewash the peace and cover up their bad deeds? ”

In fact, many ladies were forced by the children of the family to talk about it in private, hoping that the concubine would come out through the mouth.

Even if they didn't choose the people of their family, they would have to go back and explain the results, so as not to be unresolved like this, causing the young men in front of them to scratch their ears and cheeks one by one, and they would be coquettish and tricky when they saw the sky, and asked them to try to please the concubine.

Yun Fenghuang is now using it, not because he is really in a hurry to show Zhaoqing, but to test Chunjia's attitude.

Sure enough, when the emperor heard the Duchess of Ning Guo, he raised his eyebrows and said, "That kid from the Ke family, I have an impression, it seems like five or six years ago?" The first time he saw Zhaoqing, he was so distracted that he hit the pillar? ”

"Not that one?" Yun Fenghuang said, "The concubine still felt that he was unstable at the time, but she looked at Duchess Ning Guo as a very appropriate person." Therefore, what she said, the concubine also remembered a few words in her heart. ”

Chunjia pondered for a while and said, "I don't know much about that kid, but since you feel sorry for Zhaoqing, you don't have to be in a hurry. ”

He added, "Besides, Zhaoqing doesn't seem to have such a mind now, so it's better to wait for her to have a plan after she arrives, and let's listen to it." ”

Yun Fenghuang sighed in his heart, knowing that the emperor was opposed, at least for now, against her plan to demote Zhaoqing to Kehe, so as to win over Ning Guogong.

In fact, this is also a reasonable thing, Chunjia is not a fool, although he is still in the prime of life, the princes have not fully grown up. But as the Son of Heaven who is considered to be the master of Zhongxing, even if he deliberately allows the sons to compete for the throne, how can he easily hand over the military power?

Moreover, now that several princes are still half-grown children, their qualifications have not yet been clearly seen, even if the emperor favors Yun Fenghuan, it is impossible for her to use the card of Princess Zhaoqing to win first.

"What Your Majesty said is that the concubine actually thinks the same way." Yun Fenghuang was secretly disappointed, but she put on a look on her face, "Your Majesty, you don't have any plans to let Zhaoqing out now, that's really good", as if she was cautious that Chunjia would do this, "After all, the concubine body said something not so motherly, although the second and ninth princesses are now all concubines' daughters, but they can't compare with Zhaoqing, Zhaoqing was raised by the concubine from the ground, and the child now thinks that the concubine is the biological mother...... After so many years, it is like a jewel, and it is really no different from the concubine's own body. ”

"When the princes grow up, they will leave the concubines one after another."

"The royal daughters have the opportunity to stay for two more years, and after the fall, it is also possible to stay in the imperial capital to facilitate reunions from time to time...... The concubine really didn't want Zhaoqing to marry too early. ”

Chun Jia listened to all of her sincere words, after all, in his mind, the concubine said that he cared about his own King Jin the most, and in actual action, he was actually extremely kind to several children.

Especially King Qin and Zhaoqing, as the eldest son and eldest daughter, they have enjoyed all kinds of preferences and maintenance of the concubine.

The emperor couldn't help but feel that he had just been a little overwhelmed, and turned around to appease the concubine for a while before he remembered what he meant: "I came here today but there is something for you to worry about." ”

Yun Fenghuang said: "Your Majesty just orders. ”

Just as I was thinking about what was going on, I heard Chunjia say, "I thought about opening another selection ......."

After saying this, he paused deliberately and went to see Yun Fenghuan's expression.

However, Yun Fenghuan was very calm, and said calmly: "Is this the case?" This is the fault of the concubine and the queen's mother, counting the recent batch of newcomers, they were also selected by Chunjia in the fourteenth year, and now six years have passed, one by one, the youth is no longer there, and he is also an old man, he is too wronged Your Majesty! Your Majesty, please rest assured, the concubine will go to discuss with the queen mother when she turns around, and you must choose a group of virtuous and virtuous young and beautiful people for your majesty to serve you! ”

"Don't you feel aggrieved in your heart?" Junjia couldn't help but smile and asked.

"Your Majesty doesn't care, no matter how wronged the concubine is, is it useful?" Yun Feng glanced at him and snorted, "After all, if you want to add people, can the concubine still stop you?" The concubine wants to stop it, but I want you to be a concubine in your eyes...... But Your Majesty is not happy, what is the way to concubine? ”

She gritted her teeth in her heart, speculating that Chunjia should not have the idea of being greedy and lustful, but she still couldn't hold back and wanted to punch him in the eye socket!

The emperor also knew her temperament, and he didn't dare to tease her too much, so he hurriedly said: "This time the selection is also to choose a good family from a poor family, but there is no need to be too excited, just pick out the innocent person who has nothing to do with it, the family members are also kind and duty-oriented, and the woman herself has the appearance of a suitable son." ”

Then the number of people doesn't need to be too much, just a dozen or twenty.

Yun Fenghuan listened to the suspicion and said, "Your Majesty, ...... this?" ”

"These people are not for me, but for King Yi and the Marquis of Yongchun." Chunjia laughed and sighed, "King Yi and Princess Yi have been in love for the past two years, but it's just ...... There is always emptiness under the knees. You know Yin Qu's temperament, if King Yi doesn't mention it himself, who else dares to say anything? It's just that some of the clan elders mentioned it, and I think it makes sense. In the end, their brothers are all the blood of the Divine Sect, and if I let it go, it seems as if I wish the Divine Sect's own bloodline would be cut off. Therefore, I can only come out to be this difficult person, and personally reward King Yi with some good family heirs. ”

Yun Fenghuang said: "Although Princess Yi is good friends with the concubine and is Xiao Qi's aunt, she has no children for many years, even if there is a delay in keeping filial piety in the middle, it is indeed impossible to say." Your Majesty, please rest assured, if Your Majesty is inconvenient in this matter, the concubine is willing to go to the Yin family to talk to the father and daughter, and she will be able to ensure that they are convinced, and will not cause a gap between King Yi and Princess Yi because of this. ”

In fact, in the lunar month last year, when Princess Yi returned to Beijing with King Yi and entered the palace to see the Seven Princes, Yun Fenghuang reminded her of this problem and persuaded her that if she really couldn't do it, then take the initiative to arrange a few Yizi's maids for King Yi to serve, so that if she has an heir, it can also reduce the pressure on the outside world; If there are no heirs, then it is even more difficult to blame the princess.

After all, who calls this world, but all husbands and wives have no children, almost all of them think that it is the woman's fault?

But Princess Yi is not the kind of person who cares about the outside world's discussions, and after she thanked Yun Fenghuan for her kindness, she said: "My prince said that according to the rules of the dynasty, non-concubines cannot inherit the prince. Although there were exceptions when His Majesty was a vassal king in the past, His Majesty's dragon and phoenix posture could not be compared to ordinary clans? In this case, if the concubine gives birth to a child, she can't inherit the title left and right, so it's useless to come. A family like ours, do we still expect our heirs to support the elderly? So it's better to leave it to fate. ”

The husband and wife themselves are willing, and of course Yun Fenghuan will not force him to be difficult.

But now that the emperor is worried about it personally, this is not something that King Yi and Princess Yi can solve with one heart, Yun Fenghuan is mainly worried that Yin Qu will make trouble.

At this moment, seeing that Chunjia was approved, he said again: "It's just...... Yongchun Hou has not yet married, if he teaches his concubine to enter the door first, once he gives birth to an heir, he will not look good in the main room in the future? ”

"I'm already watching his marriage." Chunjia said, "When the time comes, the main room will enter the door first, and then the reward will be ...... If there is joy after entering the main room, it is okay for those people to send it away. I am not the kind of person who cares about the affairs of my brothers' rooms, but after all, the blood of the Divine Sect cannot leave them without heirs. ”

The implication is that although the clan rules are rules, only the son-in-law can inherit the title.

But Gong Xiangxiao and Gong Xiangzhen brothers are exceptions.

After all, Chunjia wants to set up a character who treats the bloodline of the Divine Sect well, right?

Yun Fenghuang asked: "After the filial piety of the Marquis of Yongchun, His Majesty planned to be a matchmaker for him, but the Hou Ye was picky, and you spoiled him, dragging it back and forth to this day, but I don't know who Your Majesty wants to marry for him?" ”

To be honest, Yongchunhou's marriage really gave Chunjia a headache for many days.

It's not that there are no right people.

After all, the blood of the Divine Sect, in a sense, has a certain similarity with the status of the filial piety sect.

Chunjia is not the biological heir of the Shenzong lineage, but the successor of the distant branch, so it is reasonable for him to treat other people's biological heirs well.

In addition, the emperor's position is now as stable as a mountain, whether it is King Yi or Yongchun Hou, it is impossible to usurp the throne, and even have such an idea at all, so many high-ranking nobles want to allow their favorite concubines to pass through.

The key is that Yongchunhou himself is picky.

At first, he was very squirming and refused to speak. Later, he rejected several in a row, and Chun Jia was about to lose patience, so he trembled and said that he had only one request for the concubine, to be born well, and it was best to be the kind of legendary beauty!

Royal children, it is never difficult to want a beauty.

Let's just say that the concubines in Chunjia's harem, one is counted as one, and the good family of the poor family who can pass the test and enter the door, who goes out is not a beauty who dumps one side? It was hired by family etiquette, and his appearance and bearing are also very accessible, otherwise where would he be qualified to be a pillow person for the emperor.

And Yongchun Hou grew up rich and noble, when he was just taken care of by Chunjia, he also met many concubines, and his vision can be imagined.

He said that he wanted a peerless beauty, to put it mildly, at the level of Yun Fenghuang, the emperor was not sure if he could satisfy this brother, how could he have Yi Xingen second?

To be honest, if it weren't for Yi Xing'en who had already made Chunjia a concubine, Chunjia really wouldn't mind giving it to Yongchunhou.

The key is that Yi Xingen is a high-ranking concubine, and she has given birth to two princesses, if she is transferred to Yongchun Hou, Chunjia himself is nothing, wouldn't he want Yongchun Hou to be infamous and say that his brother took his brother and concubine?

The main branch of the Gongxiang clan withered, and Chunjia was still very tolerant of the two cousins who couldn't fight, and didn't want to pit Gongxiang so much.

If you simply ask for a peerless beauty, in fact, it is not impossible to find a second one when you are searching for it all over the world.

The key is, how can Concubine Yongchun Hou be from a good family? Why do you have to come out of a big family, right? The requirements are lowered, but it's not an official daughter, isn't it?

That's harder.

The emperor even used the Imperial City Division for this purpose, and now there is finally a result, but from a prefect's house in the borderlands, he found a girl who is said to be beautiful and fragrant. Although the girl actually had a marriage contract at an early age, under the royal hint, it was of course a joke and never existed.

The Son of Heaven personally ordered the prefect to be transferred to the imperial capital, and he was promoted to three levels in a row to match the identity of the Marquis of Yongchun.

"The Imperial City Division gave me a package ticket, saying that the woman's plan can make Yongchun Marquis like." Although as Chunjia, he is interested in Yongchunhou, that is, he urges his subordinates to do things, and it is impossible to personally remember it all the time.

But such a thing, hanging in front of him for several years, he still felt quite a toss, and at this moment he sighed with Yun Fenghuang, "Even I asked people to find out the appearance of Du Langu's daughter...... It's a pity that although Du Qing has three daughters under his knees, none of them have reached their aunts. ”

That is, an ordinary little girl with delicate eyebrows, she should be a more outstanding beauty when she grows up.

The shelving palace is almost the kind that stands out to everyone......

It definitely can't get into the eyes of Yongchun Hou.

Yun Fenghuang said with a smile: "Where is this kind of thing accurate? You see that there were dozens of nieces and nephews in the past, but there was only one fierce son who looked like a concubine. ”

At the mention of Xie Meng, she became alert and looked at the emperor, "Your Majesty, Meng'er has only been through the door for more than half a year, although there has been no movement so far, don't you also think about adding two people to Deng Chengzhai?" The concubine will tell you first, Meng'er has always been favored, but she may not have this heart. ”

Chunjia smiled dumbly: "When have I ever paid attention to the family affairs of my courtiers?" ”

If he wasn't afraid of people talking about him, he wished that the bloodline of the Divine Sect would disappear, and he wouldn't even bother to care about the heirs of King Yi and the Marquis of Yongchun.

"Your Majesty said this, the concubine body was relieved, and the concubine body thanked Your Majesty on behalf of Meng'er." Yun Fenghuang pursed his lips and smiled, and then said, "Your Majesty, don't worry, this matter, the concubine will handle it properly for you." ”

Because she was a small day in the past two days, the Son of Heaven stayed until the evening and left.

Not long after he left, the palace people came and went, saying that the emperor had gone to Concubine Mu.

It's not that Concubine Mu has won the emperor's favor in the past two years, but the pair of male heirs in the dragon and phoenix fetus from the Da Xu family that she adopted, and the sixteenth prince is very smart.

He is only seven years old this year, and it is rumored that he has a talent that he will never forget.

Although Concubine Mu was secretive, her means were average, and in the palace ban, some news was revealed.

Chunjia paid more attention to their mother and son.

Yun Fenghuan nodded when he heard this, and said, "Sixteen is really smart, and I can't complain about Your Majesty." Therefore, when the palace urges fifteen o'clock in the future, you are not allowed to stop it anymore! ”

Her biological son, King Jin, is eight years old this year, and when he entered school, he was also praised by the gentlemen for his intelligence and cleverness.

But even more famous is his stubbornness.

Yun Fenghuan is also tired, obviously because this son is biological, she disciplines the most ruthlessly, and there are definitely a lot of violent beatings from childhood to adulthood...... Supposedly, even if he is not a coward, he should be restrained a little?

As a result, the King of Jin became more and more unscrupulous, and made it clear that no matter what his mother did, it would be impossible to beat him to death, since he couldn't be killed, he had nothing to fear!

Poor Yun Fenghuang has been crisscrossing the six palaces since he entered the palace, when have you ever been afraid?

Now mention this son...... Even if she didn't do anything, she subconsciously felt a heartbeat.

I can't ignore it yet.

At this moment, I immediately regretted mentioning it in passing: Who is not good for this palace to mention, and you want to mention this debt collector?

coughed dryly, and quickly changed the topic: "Okay, have you heard what Your Majesty just said?" Give Yiwang and Yongchun the candidates, cheer up, at least don't make the two main rooms too troublesome in the future, and always pick the really honest and obedient ones. If the mind is too flexible, you are not allowed to mix in. ”

The left and right agreed, and inevitably discussed the marriage of Yongchun Hou, and said that Mrs. Yongchun Hou was pitiful, and the official lady who was not from a noble background was easy to meet a chance to fly on the branches, and she had to face many concubines rewarded by the Son of Heaven before she was born. Even if Chunjia said that as long as she gave birth to a male heir, these people would dispose of it casually, but you can imagine that she would know, would the prefect's daughter dare?

It is also said that this is all unfounded, Yongchun Hou is so picky about the beauty of the main room, even the Son of Heaven is quite anxious, this thousands of selected beauties, can he not be spoiled? The Son of Heaven has to arrange a bunch of concubines for him, and he has to see if Yongchun Hou is happy or not.

At that time, maybe it will lock people in the yard as decorations and take care of themselves to accompany the main room?

"Why are you still so naïve after all these years of following this palace?" Yun Fenghuang shook his head slightly when he listened, and said, "It's not been a day or two since Yongchun Hou entered and left the palace, do you think he is a lustful person?" ”

The attendants were very curious when they heard it: "Niangniang is saying that Yongchunhou doesn't value beauty?" But I just want to marry a peerless beauty, and I said it by Yongchunhou himself! Or to His Majesty. Could it be that he still dares to bully the king? ”

"What he said to His Majesty, of course, was specifically for His Majesty." Yun Fenghuan said disapprerovingly, "You don't want to think about the biological father of the two brothers, King Yi and Yongchunhou, who didn't get along with Your Majesty very happily back then. Even though that person is gone, who knows what His Majesty thinks in his heart? ”

Chunjia is not going through the old accounts once or twice.

He doesn't even feel like he's turning over old accounts, it's just that sometimes when he needs to, he drags someone he doesn't like to go up to block the knife.

If you want to blame, you can only blame those people's bad lives.

No, no, no, it should be said that this is the will of God.

In short, in Yun Fenghuang's view, Yongchunhou pursued the beauty of the main room, and spread this matter through Chunjia, everyone knew about it, and in the final analysis, it was for self-preservation.

It's almost like beating gongs and drums to tell everyone: I'm just a waste who was lucky enough to be born in the royal family, and my mind is full of beauty.

Therefore, whether it is the Son of Heaven or the ministers, let me live as a rich idler.

Don't look for me for the rest.

At the same time, it is also an opportunity for Chunjia to pamper his cousin, so that the whole world can see that the Son of Heaven personally worked so hard for the marriage of Yongchun Hou, and he is really a friendly brother.

From Yongchunhou's standpoint, this will of course greatly increase his safety.

As for the prefect's family who rushed over to greet the pie falling from the sky......

Whether Yongchunhou likes their daughter or not, only Gong Xiangzhen knows in his heart.

However, men are always pretty, and if the daughter of the prefect is really beautiful, she must be a little fond of Yongchunhou.

Such a fake show is really done, in the eyes of uninformed people, it is a good story that has been fated to meet thousands of miles away.

This kind of good story is very familiar, for example, Xie Wuzheng and Princess Sui'an.
