Chapter 272: Gentle and Pure
It has been a while since Concubine Ling died, but the matter of who raised the third princess has not yet been decided, Hua Ying is not in a hurry, Wen Chun is in a hurry first.
The third princess is not a stubborn character, she also knows what is good for herself and what is not good for herself, even if she still misses her Eniang after being sad, she also understands that it is a good thing to let Hua Ying raise herself now, not to mention that her Eniang's personal palace maid Ke Nan also told her that her Eniang has been arranged, and she must be raised by Hua Ying.
"Concubine Yun, why doesn't Huang Ama still make a holy decree? Could it be that Huang Ama is unwilling to let Concubine Yun raise her sons?" The third princess pouted her little mouth and said to Hua Ying.
The word Concubine Yun was also called by Hua Ying, which not only shows that the third princess still has not forgotten her biological mother, but also shows that she is close to Hua Ying: "Wen Chun, don't worry, the emperor must want this palace to raise you, but now it may be that your emperor Ama needs to deal with some things, and then issue a holy decree." β
"What's the matter?"
"For example, our Wen Chun is too liked by others, and many palace concubines are rushing to raise you, so why don't you wait a little longer to see which lady the emperor chooses in the end." Hua Ying actually knew in her heart that since Concubine Ling told herself with certainty that the third princess would definitely be handed over to her to raise, she must have communicated well with the emperor, and the emperor must have agreed, and now there is only one possibility in this situation, that is, the queen, it must be the queen who stopped the emperor from doing so.
Except for the queen, no one in this harem can influence the emperor's thoughts, not to mention that the other palace concubines are used to their own favor, even if they are one more princess, it is understandable, only the queen will think so much, calculating whether she will change the situation in the harem in the future with another princess.
Hua Ying felt that it was time to go out in person, waiting for the emperor to persuade the queen, it was better to go and see the queen mother herself.
"The concubine asks the Queen Mother to say goodbye, and the Queen Mother is blessed with Jin'an."
Today happens to be the day when the harem concubines go to the Queen Mother to say goodbye together, Hua Ying sat in the first row on the left, watching the Queen Mother laugh with a few grandchildren, the Queen Mother is old, she likes to talk to her grandchildren, although some of the imperial heirs are still a little shy, but more children are also willing to be close to the Queen Mother, although there is no shortage of because of their own mother's requirements, but close to the Queen Mother, you can always get a lot of obvious benefits.
"Wen Chun, come here to mourn the family." The third princess has no biological mother, and now who will raise her has not been decided, the queen mother is kind, and will naturally take more care of the third princess, and the third princess also got Hua Ying's meaning, and showed some acting skills slightly, pretending to be timid, and shook her head slightly.
"What's going on? But has anyone bullied you these days?" When the queen mother saw the third princess like this, she immediately became serious, and the other elder brothers were also put aside: "If you have any grievances, tell your imperial grandmother, there is nothing to hide, your imperial grandmother will definitely support you." β
"Huang Mama, the retainer is fine, but sometimes I feel a little lonely." The third princess looked at the Queen Mother with aggrieved eyes.
The Queen Mother knew what was going on as soon as she heard it, and she looked at the queen: "Who will the third princess be entrusted to raise in the future, haven't you discussed it with the emperor?"
"Back to the emperor's mother, the three princesses are cute and lively, and the concubines also want to raise the three princesses, not only the concubines, but the other concubines also think so, so we haven't decided for a long time." The queen smiled and said nonsense.
Hua Ying sneered in her heart, but she didn't forget to say what she had to say: "The queen mother is right, the third princess is indeed a very likable child, so why don't you let the third princess choose herself?"
"This is a matter of royal heirs, how can a child be allowed to decide for himself?" The queen knew that Hua Ying must have come prepared if she could say such a thing, so she made an excuse and said.
Between the masters' moves, the queen is always unwilling to leave a word behind, Hua Ying is much calmer in comparison: "What the queen said is good, but such a thing, no matter who the third princess is handed over to raise, it is a happy event, and it is understandable for her to decide by herself." β
The Queen Mother looked at the faint-for-tat momentum between the two of them, instantly understood something, and then said: "What you two said makes sense, but the mourning family thinks that the third princess is not an item, and there is no need for the concubines to quarrel with each other, just let her say it herself." β
These few words are euphemisms in support of Hua Ying's statement, and the queen was a little discouraged, but she still continued: "Doesn't the emperor think that the concubine is very suitable for raising the third princess?"
"It's really good for the queen to have such a mind, she has the demeanor of the lord of the harem, then Wen Chun, do you want to live in Kunning Palace?" The Queen Mother smiled charitantly, took the third princess's small shoulder, and gave her encouragement, the Queen Mother also knew that if it wasn't for the third princess to speak by herself, the queen would definitely not spare the other concubines and wanted to raise the third princess: "It's okay, your imperial mother is the most generous person, no matter what you say, your imperial mother will not hold grudges." β
The third princess received the support of the queen mother, and also saw Hua Ying's resolute gaze, so she opened her mouth and said: "Erchen likes Huang Eniang, but I feel that Huang Eniang is busy dealing with harem affairs, and I don't want to delay Huang Eniang, Yun Guifei Niangniang is familiar with Erchen's biological Eniang, so Erchen wants to go to Yun Guifei Niangniang's palace to live." β
Hua Ying saw that the third princess did not have the slightest stage fright, and said this large paragraph smoothly, and suddenly felt that Concubine Ling was indeed good at raising children, and the third princess did not seem to be in vain.
The Queen Mother also nodded and said: "Since you are a child with an idea in your heart, the mourning family will naturally support you." β
After speaking, he continued to look at the queen and said: "The queen also heard it, this kid is a little tough, and now that he has identified Concubine Yun, you can discuss it with the emperor, and then clean up the palace for the third princess and live in Jingyang Palace." β
Seeing that this matter was quickly decided by the Queen Mother, the queen wanted to say something, but when she saw the happy appearance of the third princess, she knew that with the queen mother's love for children, she would definitely not listen to what she said anymore.
Hua Ying was finally able to bring the third princess to her palace, and she was also relieved, and smiled at the Queen Mother, if there was no Queen Mother today, it would not be easy to achieve.
The Queen Mother was not completely to help Hua Ying and the third princess not think about anything else, and later left Hua Ying to say a few words, but it was not because of anything else, but just reminded Hua Ying again that although she is in a high position now, she should not cross the line, the queen is still the queen, she can rely on the emperor's favor and get a lot of things, but the position of this queen is not so simple to be shaken.
Hua Ying is a realistic person, of course she wants to go to a higher place, but this kind of thing needs to come step by step, it can't be changed overnight, the Queen Mother saw her thoughts, didn't say much, and let her go back.
"Brother Five."
Since the Queen Mother has already spoken in person, the third princess Wen Chun immediately packed up her things and moved to Jingyang Palace, Hua Ying asked Chang Huan to pack up the residence for the third princess, it is a fresh and elegant place in Jingyang Palace, and now in this Jingyang Palace, I am afraid that there will be no other people to live except for a Fei nobleman, after all, this can be regarded as a big family.
The third princess packed up her things, and happened to meet the fifth elder brother Yinze, who had just come out of the main hall, so she said with a smile: "Are the fifth emperor brothers going to the Shang study?"
The fifth elder brother nodded and said: "Yes, the princesses don't have to go to the study room today, it just so happens that the third emperor sister can play with Wen Hua, but Wen Hua is still young, and you still need to take care of some." β
"Why did the Fifth Emperor Brother become estranged from Wen Chun?" The third princess pursed her lips, and always felt that after coming to Jingyang Palace, he was not as close to herself as before, which really hurt her heart to always treat the fifth elder brother as her own brother.
The fifth elder brother was stunned for a moment, and said with a soothing face: "It's not that I'm not estranged from you, but you just came to Jingyang Palace, I'm afraid that you won't get used to it if you're too enthusiastic, and Jingyang Palace is not just my elder brother, I also want you to get closer to Wen Hua and Yinxun." β
The fifth elder brother is a delicate person, so he will naturally observe the third princess all the time, and the third princess can say such a thing, which means that she is really happy and accepts living in Jingyang Palace, and she is not so restrained: "It makes you feel sad, it's the royal brother's fault, wait for the imperial brother to come back, and make you a fun thing." β
"Do you know the one you made out of twigs a few years ago?" The third princess suddenly smiled, she was a little older, and it didn't affect her naΓ―ve mind at all.
"Whatever you say is what you say." The fifth elder brother touched her head, although the relationship between brother and sister is not as good as with the sixth princess, but it can be easily seen on the surface.
Hua Ying was in the room, looking at the communication between the two eldest children outside through a propped up window, and smiled with satisfaction, she also knew that the unity and harmony between these children was very important, otherwise even if she got the right to raise the third princess, it would be a bad thing.
"Seeing that the friendship between the fifth elder brother and the third princess is good, the mother can put her heart in her stomach."
Qingxu also saw this scene in her eyes, and said to Hua Ying with a smile, before she also knew what Hua Ying's vague worry was: "Didn't Niangniang say in the morning that she was going to take the seventh elder brother to the Queen Mother?"
"The Queen Mother has had a lot of things recently, and raising the fifth princess is not an idle job, I heard that the fifth princess is sick again, and the palace will not go over to disturb the Queen Mother today." Hua Ying sighed, according to the imperial doctor, the fifth princess's body did not deteriorate in a day or two, not to mention that she had some diseases since she was born, and it was difficult to take care of her.
In fact, the emperor has not let other concubines raise the five princesses, and they are also scheming, first, it is not necessary, and secondly, because if the queen mother takes care of the five princesses, she will definitely do her best, and she can't take care of other things, such as contact with Mongolia, or meddling in the affairs of the former dynasty or harem, so the five princesses have almost always settled in Cining Palace.
"What Niangniang said is also true, the Queen Mother is a person with a bodhisattva's heart, and now that the fifth princess is sick, she must be uncomfortable, so let's wait a few days before passing."
"Who's to say it isn't? But this disease is also brought out of the mother's womb, and it cannot be cured. Hua Ying sighed, not everyone can be born healthy, and it is not certain whether the fifth princess can be raised: "This palace only hopes that these children can get along in harmony, and the heirs of the heavenly family, even if they are not brothers and sisters, should be brothers, friends and brothers." β
"Niangniang is so smart, and the children raised must also love each other." Qingxu said.
