Yun Fenghuang praised Princess Zhaoqing in front of Chunjia, one by one, this is the most beautiful, filial and considerate daughter in the world, and Princess Zhaoqing is happy and entangled, and she is very troubled and lost.

At this time, the emperor smiled and said, "It's only such a big child, why are you fooled?" ”

"It's just when you're a kid that you have to be fooled, and when you grow up and become sensible, don't you worry about it so much?" The king of Chu tried to murder the ten princes, the middle palace will definitely not tell Chunjia, not to mention that the queen has not completely given up on the king of Chu, even if she gives up, she will not publicize it, otherwise this child came to her two days after birth, and she has such a vicious mind, doesn't it seem that she has no way to teach her son?

Therefore, Yun Fenghuang was very happy to remind the emperor, so he sighed lightly at this moment and said, "After all, Xiao Jiu's body is weak, and the concubine has to pay more attention." However, King Qin and Zhaoqing are still young, and they are not old enough to leave the concubine from time to time. In the past two days, Zhang Luo Xiaojiu has had a lot of Chenguang in the concubine, and it is inevitable that King Zhaoqing Qin will be aggrieved. ”

Chunjia became suspicious when she heard this, and said with a smile: "The child is messing around...... You're not afraid of children messing around, and they didn't get angry with you when they came to me with dirty dirt in their hands. But I don't know what kind of nonsense method makes you so uneasy? ”

"It's just a matter of planning for a rainy day." Yun Fenghuang wrote lightly, "After all, Your Majesty also knows that the Xie family has many brothers and sisters, and there are many things to do if there are many people, and the concubine has grown up from it, and many things are used to being small, but they are also dealt with, so it is not for Your Majesty to worry about." ”

After she said this, she immediately changed the subject to other things.

Chunjia didn't ask when he saw this, and after he dispersed the next day, he summoned Yan Yin to ask a few children who could run and talk, had they been in trouble recently?

He usually doesn't pay much attention to the imperial heirs, at most, King Qin and Zhaoqing are more favored because of Yunfeng Huang, and other children may not be able to see each other a few times a year, basically they don't have a big incident, or they are dying, and the people below don't dare to tell them to bother. The matter between the King of Chu and the Ten Princes, Yan Yin had eyes and ears here early in the morning, but because the Ten Princes were no big deal after all, and everyone knew that the King of Chu was not an ordinary child, the queen sent benefits, and Yan Yin did not take the initiative to mention it.

Now the emperor took the initiative to ask, but he didn't dare to hide it, and said cautiously: "Back to Your Majesty's words, all the imperial heirs have been fine recently, but His Royal Highness the King of Chu was naughty, and when he visited the ten princes, he accidentally lit the curtain of the side hall, and the palace people simply extinguished it in time, but nothing went wrong." ”

Although Chunjia is a thin person in both the biological father and the heir father's lineage, he is shrewd, and when he heard this, he smiled lightly: "Don't talk about these untruths, what the hell is going on?" ”

“…… Be. Seeing this, Yan Yin hurriedly knelt down and pleaded guilty, and only then did he tell the ins and outs, and he didn't even dare to hide the benefits he had received from the queen, "...... The people in front of the queen mother repeatedly entrusted that His Royal Highness the King of Chu had a childlike nature, which was not intentional, and after the three princes came forward, His Royal Highness the King of Chu was also very remorseful. The queen couldn't bear it, so she asked the slave not to tell His Majesty. The slave thought about whether this matter was dangerous or not, so she ......"

"One of my two sisters-in-law is only three years old now, and the other is less than a month old, and they have begun to kill each other." Chunjia's expression was light, and his tone was also very gentle, and said, "From the queen to the close attendants, they all feel that it is just a small thing that is not dangerous?" Then don't you need to tell me about the emperor's heirs? Is this not my child? ”

The geese prostrate on the ground, silent.

Chunjia stared at him and said coldly: "I miss you serving me for several years, this time I will spare you from dying, get down and lead the board yourself!" ”

"Slave and maid, thank you, Your Majesty Longen!" Yan Yin was relieved when he heard this, for a close servant like him, being beaten and scolded is a trivial matter, and the most afraid is that the emperor doesn't want him to serve.

At this time, he was too busy to take care of himself, and he didn't dare to intercede for the queen and the king of Chu, so he stepped back and received the punishment after repeatedly thanking him.

The emperor put aside government affairs and went to the Chongchang Hall in person.

When Gu Zhen heard that he was coming, he was not happy and surprised: "Your Majesty should be handling government affairs at this time, why did you suddenly come here as a concubine?" ”

"Can't I come?" Chunjia said lightly, "Didn't the queen often say that King Chu missed me very much?" I have some time to spare, so why is the queen unhappy? ”

"How dare a concubine? I'm just afraid that the temple will be delayed. Gu Zhen heard him mention that the King of Chu's heart sank, and seeing that it was not Yan Yin who was serving the emperor at this time, his heart became heavier and heavier, and he smiled forcefully, "Concubine, let the children come over." ”

After a while, the three princes and the king of Chu went to the palace together to say goodbye, the three princes were timid, the king of Chu was forgetful, and he didn't remember the crying and weeping that he was personally punished by Gu Zhen before, and saw Chunjia's eyes lit up, because before the ten princes, he was the only son-in-law, and the number of times he saw the emperor was not a few, and he was no stranger to this father.

Chunjia stared at his child, because the posture of the harem concubines and concubines was repeatedly checked, and the emperor himself was also a rare beautiful man, and the appearance of the emperor's heirs was of course guaranteed.

King Chu, whose biological mother is from a humble background, looks even better, after all, without the blessing of his family background, he can enter the palace and be favored, and he is definitely won by his beauty.

The three-year-old prince's skin was white, like cow's milk, his eyes were dark and bright, and his pupils were full of joy and admiration.

"......" Chunjia was silent for a while, reached out and touched his head, turned to the queen and said, "The king of Chu is also older, although he has not yet reached the age of enlightenment, he should also teach some truth." ”

When he stared at the king of Chu, the queen was nervous and almost trembled, afraid that Chunjia would punish the king of Chu heavily.

Like the twin sons of the second prince and the third prince, because of their biological mothers, even if they are smart and sensible, their status in the palace is stumbling.

Not to mention the toss of the second prince in the hands of Concubine Shu earlier, but now he is under Mrs. Qingshu, because he is the only child of Mrs. Qingshu, his life is okay. The third prince is the first child raised by the queen, first there is the queen of Chu, there are eight princes, and now there are ten princes, and the status can be said to have fallen again and again. But after all, he is normal, no matter how much he is treated as a prince, he is deducted and treated badly, and when he grows up, he will be divided into fiefs, at most the fief is not very good, and he is not usually treated very well, and he can live his life after all.

But the king of Chu, if he is disliked by the emperor, the queen doesn't know what he will do in the future?

simply looked at the emperor's meaning, and felt some pity for this son, but his words were still tactful.

"What Your Majesty said is that the concubine was negligent, and she must teach the King of Chu well in the future." Gu Zhen hurriedly promised, and asked the king of Chu to kneel down to the emperor to thank him.

The King of Chu thanked him for some reason, and wanted to say something, but Gu Zhen was afraid that he would shout that he didn't like the Ten Princes or something, so he hurriedly asked the Third Prince to pull people away.

Looking at the lost eyes of the third prince before leaving, she felt very uncomfortable in her heart, but the king of Chu had just made a mistake, and she didn't dare to say anything for the third prince.

"Is the King of Chu stubborn in his own actions, or is someone pandering?" The two children left, Chunjia glanced at the queen, and asked calmly, "It is said that since this child is much sluggish, even if he doesn't like Xiao Shi, at most he will cry, but he may not want to murder Xiao Shi?" ”

"The concubine has been investigating for the past two days, and someone said something that shouldn't be said in front of the king of Chu." Gu Zhen hurriedly said, "The King of Chu is usually very well-behaved, and the concubine was also very shocked when she learned about it...... Please give your majesty another three or two days to the concubine, and the concubine will definitely find out! ”

This is a half-truth, in fact, the queen did not find out that someone had picked up the king of Chu.

But since the emperor knows about this matter, there must be an explanation.

It is better than the emperor thinking that the king of Chu is cruel by nature or that the queen has no way to teach his son, and it is better than the ten princes who resent their brother when they grow up.

"Look at the arrangement, after all, they are all children in front of you, I believe that the palms and backs of the hands are all meat, and the queen will not be biased against anyone." Chunjia took a sip of tea, then stood up and planned to leave, "It's just that the matter of King Chu can't be repeated, whether it's the one from the summer vacation before, or the one now." ”

In fact, he knew the queen's lies, but he also felt that it was better to drag a palace person out to take the blame for this matter.

It's better than the ten princes holding a grudge against the king of Chu in the future.

After sending the emperor away, Gu Zhen sat on the soft couch for a while and couldn't come back to her senses, and persuaded her left and right: "Niangniang, Your Majesty has never punished His Royal Highness the King of Chu, and he has not even said anything serious in front of His Highness, which shows that he still loves His Highness." Don't worry about it, after all, His Royal Highness the King of Chu is His Majesty's first son-in-law, how can His Majesty not feel distressed? ”

"Hongu is thinking about the future." Gu Zhen sighed lightly and said, "At this time, the King of Chu is still young, and their brothers have made such a fuss. Now you can still use the palace people to fool the past, and in the future, the eight princes and the ten princes have grown up, if they still can't get along, you say, how much can the life of this palace be tossed? ”

Both left and right persuaded her not to think about it, and said: "Before, Concubine Xian said that she was sick, thinking that she was dying, but it turned out to be still there, and in a few days, why don't you find an opportunity to send the eighth prince back?" ”

Gu Zhen also thought so, she originally thought that the Eighth Prince was an ancestor, and now that she had the Ten Princes, she didn't want to raise the Eighth Prince at all, so when she heard the words, she thought of an opportunity to send this concubine away.

Who knew that in less than two days, the Chinese New Year's Eve banquet was just around the corner, and Yuan Yanniang, the virtuous concubine who had been sick for most of the year and everyone thought that she should not die, died.

This is not the point, the point is that Yuan Yuniang committed suicide, leaving a suicide note saying that she couldn't stand the torture of illness, and in the end, Queen Tuogu.

Yuan Yiniang said in her suicide note that she wanted to die long before the summer, but she survived because she was not worried about the eighth prince.

During this time, the queen took good care of the eighth prince, and she had no worries and left.

Empress Dowager Yuan read the suicide note with tears in her eyes, and said to the queen: "Since this is the case, you can keep the little eight." Be good to him, don't call Concubine Xian Jiuquan and there will be no peace. ”

Gu Zhen: "......"

I really want to drag Concubine Xian out and whip the corpse!

But she couldn't.

Not only can she not, but she also has to sincerely promise that she will raise the Eighth Prince as her own flesh and blood, and she will definitely not treat the Eighth Prince badly.

…… Back in Chongchang Palace, the queen instructed the people who served the Eighth Emperor to take advantage of the approaching New Year's Pass, so that the child would naturally have something wrong, and it would be cold if she was sick, anyway, she couldn't bear it anymore!

She's had enough of Yuan's aunt and nephew!

Although the eighth prince has a mistake, Empress Dowager Yuan will definitely refuse to give up, but the long pain is not as good as the short pain, isn't it?

And such a hot potato is in Chongchang Palace, who knows if it will affect the King of Chu and the Ten Princes in the future?

Gu Zhen made up his mind to show no mercy.

So on the second day of the Lunar New Year, the Eighth Prince spread the news that he was infected with a cold.

After Yun Fenghuang heard the news, he sent someone to send something to the middle palace to express his gratitude, and said with a smile: "The Yuan family can be regarded as forcing the queen to be anxious, but the queen is naïve, who is the mother and queen mother, can she not think of this?" ”

Sure enough, in the evening of that day, Empress Dowager Yuan ordered someone to invite Chunjia to come to her and talk to him about the Eighth Prince.

But the queen mother's spearhead was not aimed at the queen Gu Zhen, but the three princes and the king of Chu.

She felt that the eight princes should have been murdered by these two princes.

The evidence is that the King of Chu had just murdered the Ten Princes a few days ago, and with such a criminal record, it is very reasonable not to see the younger brother of the Eighth Prince.

"Queen Mother, the Ten Princes are the same as the King of Chu, and the Queen can't help but take extra care." Chunjia politely objected, "Therefore, the king of Chu is young and ignorant, so he will be jealous of the ten princes." But although the eighth prince is raised in front of the queen, he is only a concubine in the end, why should the king of Chu be jealous of him? Counting the eight princes came to the queen several months before the tenth prince, and I didn't hear that the king of Chu went against him. ”

Empress Dowager Yuan said lightly: "The third prince is also a concubine, when do you see when the queen has treated her badly?" After all, the Gu family is from a big family, and the bearing of the middle palace is still there. The heirs of the emperor in this palace call her the queen mother, and she can indeed afford to be the queen mother. Therefore, why is the eighth prince not carefully raised in front of the queen? The mourning family heard that the queen treats the eighth prince as her own! If she hadn't raised the Eighth Prince so hard, Concubine Xian would not have let go with peace of mind. ”

"This ......" Although both mother and son know in their hearts that the queen doesn't care about raising the eighth prince at all, and even in the past year, she hasn't personally seen it a few times, and the eighth prince has been able to grow up to now, mainly because the people who serve are afraid of the mother and queen mother, and they dare not care.

But whether it is Chunjia or Gu Zhen himself, it is difficult to admit that Gu Zhen is not concerned about the Eighth Prince.

Empress Dowager Yuan also said: "And after Concubine Xian entrusted the orphan, the mourning family was not at ease, so she specially summoned the queen to encourage her. Maybe this news reached the ears of the three princes and the king of Chu, making them more and more jealous of the eighth prince. Poor Xiaoba is so big, and he has such two ruthless brothers, and the mourning family doesn't know what to say. ”

Chunjia proposed that the Eighth Emperor be removed from the Chongchang Palace and raised by someone else?

After all, the Queen Mother felt that the Third Prince and the King of Chu were ruthless, and the Eighth Prince was not safe in front of the Queen, so of course it was better to change to a place where the Queen Mother felt it was safe, right?

But Empress Dowager Yuan was unwilling, what the Empress Dowager meant was that the eighth prince was completely innocent, and the third prince and the king of Chu were completely vicious, and it was the third prince and the king of Chu who were wrong, so why should the eighth prince be driven away? Isn't this conniving at the arrogance of the three princes and the king of Chu!

"That's it at a young age, and you'll have it in the future?" Empress Dowager Yuan said lightly, "Look at the mourning family, let's let the queen teach them well, I don't blame the queen for this, after all, the queen has a lot of things, and there are many children under her knees, so it's understandable that she can't be busy for a while." It's just that the stakes are big, and one cannot have two. ”

He also said, "And this is also for the sake of the three princes and the king of Chu, their younger brothers and sisters are not only the eighth prince, as the heirs of the heavenly family, the many brothers and sisters are blessings, how can they be jealous?" Now it's inappropriate to target the Eight Princes, and when Xiao Shi grows up in the future, they won't be able to tolerate Xiao Shi, what does that look like? ”

Chunjia was silent for a while before he said that he would tell the queen.
