Time blink of an eye to the birthday of the Empress Dowager.

Since becoming the queen mother, the queen mother Yuan has not passed this birthday.

Earlier, it was Ji's deliberate bombing and suppression, which was not allowed; Later, Chunjia became pro-government, and Empress Dowager Yuan felt that her relationship with the emperor did not need to be demonstrated by holding a birthday banquet, so she also resigned.

But this year, Xu is because of the mustard between mother and son, as well as the death of Yuan Yiniang, which made the Empress Dowager Yuan and the Yuan family feel the crisis, and when Chunjia said that she wanted to celebrate her good birthday, she responded.

…… So Chunjia didn't go hunting.

After all, he first chose this time to hunt in order to use this method to express his concern for the Empress Dowager Yuan and to express his apologies for not being able to congratulate the Empress Dowager Yuan on her birthday.

Now that they can have a decent banquet, they naturally don't have to toss.

The main Chunjia is very busy at this time, and he really doesn't have the energy to hunt and feast.

King Qin and Zhaoqing were very sad.

When Chunjia went out hunting last year, they made a fuss about following them, but Chunjia felt that they were still young and refused. At that time, the two children couldn't help but entangle, promising that they could go out for a ride together on ponies this year.

For this reason, Yun Feng Huang also specially asked the Royal Beast Garden to temporarily train two Spring Ponies for them to accompany this year.

As a result, because the Empress Dowager Yuan agreed to hold a birthday banquet and the hunt was canceled, the brothers and sisters cried on the spot after hearing the news, and then ran to Yun Fenghuang, pulled her sleeve and asked them to hunt by themselves: "My father is too busy to take a break, and my sons can hunt and sacrifice their lives on my behalf, so I ask my mother to help my sons and daughters talk about it, and let my father agree!" ”

Yun Fenghuang didn't know that this was all an excuse, and the two children just wanted to go out and play.

After all, they said that they were the grandson of the Empress Dowager Yuan, and because the relationship between Yun Fenghuang and the Empress Dowager Yuan was not very good, the Empress Dowager Yuan's attitude towards the imperial heir of Xuanqing Palace was also relatively flat.

The two children have never gotten along with this grandmother at all, what feelings can they have?

"The mother doesn't dare to guarantee this." Of course Yun Fenghuang wouldn't agree to them, he didn't think too much when he was last year, he just felt that there were many waiters to accompany him, and it was okay to let Chunjia take the children out for a walk.

But now that Zhaoqing's leg injury is considered to have a long memory for the imperial concubine, how can he let them mess around anymore?

At this time, they pushed two hundred and sixty-five, saying that Chunjia was in charge, and he might not be able to intercede, and finally saw that they wanted to go to Xingxin Hall to entangle the emperor, so they hurriedly sent someone to copy the path to ventilate and report the news, so that Chunjia must stop the person.

Chunjia really scolded them with a straight face, but he complained to Yun Fenghuan, saying that the concubine is becoming more and more inattentive now, why does he let him come forward every time he wants to refuse the children?

He can't bear it for a long time.

Especially this time Zhaoqing cried, he was the most beloved child, and he felt guilty about her leg injury, seeing her standing there wiping her tears, Chunjia almost didn't stabilize.

"Can this be blamed on the concubine?" Yun Fenghuan said unhappily, "If it weren't for Your Majesty pampering them, the concubines would discipline them strictly, how dare they make such excessive demands?" Your Majesty's own spoiled children, the concubine body is not allowed to be controlled by His Majesty, how can he take care of himself? Can you manage it yourself? ”

Chunjia laughed and said, "How have you ever been harsh with them? ”

"It's not Your Majesty's fault?" Yun Fenghuang asked rhetorically, "When the concubine said that she wanted to clean them up, Your Majesty was distressed, and she was afraid that the concubine would treat the imperial heir badly, what else could the concubine do?" ”

"I just said it casually, and you still went to your heart?" The emperor couldn't help but say to her, "Then why didn't you listen to what I said?" ”

The two shook each other for a while, and Chunjia felt sorry for Zhaoqing in the end, so he decided to let the guards go out to catch some prey to be a target in the palace, and personally taught his daughter archery.

"Your Majesty, don't indulge her!" If this was before, he was willing to spend effort with his daughter, of course Yun Fenglian would not object, but now, she frowned and reminded, "Zhaoqing's leg injury before, of course, was harmed by people, in the end, she herself was too jumpy, first she fell through the window, and then she didn't take it seriously, and continued to wander around, so she gave that cheap maid a chance to take advantage of!" You're going to teach her how to ride and shoot at this time, and when she learns it, will she be able to sit still? ”

Chunjia sighed, "Why haven't I thought so? But think about it, children also grow up very quickly. We don't know how long our lies will be able to deceive Zhaoqing, and she will be sad when the time comes...... Now while she is still ignorant, she can be happy a little bit. ”

After a pause, he said, "Actually, if you are lame, you may not be able to ride and shoot, you see that the old soldiers in the army are not without disabilities." How many people who are missing arms and legs are not the same as going into battle to kill the enemy? Zhaoqing is our child, and he should have such a will. ”

Yun Fenghuang was stunned and sighed: "Your Majesty has bothered for Zhaoqing. ”

This is because I am afraid that Zhaoqing will feel inferior and uncomfortable when she grows up knowing that her legs are not good, so she will prevent it in advance.

It is said that in a few days, Chunjia will try to transfer some disabled but capable old soldiers to him, so that Zhaoqing can be touched by his ears and eyes, and not be indulged in the stump leg and unable to extricate himself.

Naturally, Yun Fenghuan would not stop the emperor from feeling sorry for his daughter, and said that he would also go and take a look when the time came: "The concubine was among the sisters when she was a child, and it was okay to ride and shoot." I don't know if Zhaoqing can catch up with the concubine? ”

Chunjia immediately said that this was for sure: "How can Zhaoqing not even be as good as Ah Huang?" ”

"......" Yun Fenghuang didn't speak, but his gaze became very dangerous.

The emperor reacted after realizing it, and made up for it without changing his face: "After all, although Ah Huang is very smart, the person who taught Ah Huang to ride and shoot must be inferior to me!" ”

It's okay if he doesn't say that, but when he says that, Yun Fenghuang subconsciously thought of Qi Jiulu...... She settled down, and Fang sneered: "Then the concubine body will not go to sacrifice ugliness, anyway, Your Majesty has Zhaoqing in front of her, and the concubine body is also an eyesore!" ”

Saying that, he shook his hand and was about to leave.

Chunjia grabbed her with a smile: "Why do you even have to sip your daughter's vinegar now?" ”

"How dare a concubine?" Yun Fenghuan snorted and pushed him away, "The concubine just thinks that she is stupid, and she is afraid that staying in front of Your Majesty will pollute Your Majesty's eyes!" ”

Chunjia was helpless, so he had to hug the person who was soft-spoken.

Yun Fenghuang took the shelf for a while before he snorted lightly, and said slowly: "Since Your Majesty wants to teach Zhaoqing, then King Qin and the second prince, the third prince, the second princess, and the third princess will also be together." In the end, it is His Majesty's blood and blood, and there is no favoritism over the other, so that the children are uncomfortable in their hearts, and it is not conducive to the harmony of their brothers and sisters. ”

This Zhaoqing's emperor's favor is about to surpass herself, if she is allowed to enjoy the independent emperor to guide the archery skills, she will be filial piety in the future, if she is not filial, she can still handle it?

It's better to let the other children go with you, and it is better to divide the emperor's attention and favor.

The emperor was completely unaware of the concubine's true intentions, and sighed lightly when he heard this: "You are really good to the children. ”

His eyes subconsciously crossed Yun Fenghuang's lower abdomen, and he regretted it: Why is there no news about the concubine who loves her children like this?

He thought so, and the news spread over and over again, so that the concubines knew Yun Fenghuan's generosity, but it was another idea.

Gu Zhen was very anxious: "Since the concubine entered the palace, she will repay her more money, and if others don't provoke her, she may be cheated." Count these people in the palace, but if you have had a holiday with her, there will be no good end. After all these years, who still doesn't know her character in the harem? At this time, His Majesty only wants to teach Princess Zhaoqing, and she will just take King Qin with her. In the end, King Qin was also raised by her. But even the second prince, the third prince, the second princess, and the third princess have told it, what does this mean? Bengong is not dead yet, she is still just a concubine, so she is sure that she will be able to sit in the palace in the future, so she began to sympathize with the emperor's heirs in advance??? ”

I can't complain that the queen thinks so.

After all, according to the tacit understanding, all the emperors and heirs are responsible for their own concubines, and only the queen can justifiably inquire about their situation and give them care.

Chunjia, as the father of all the imperial heirs, coupled with his preference for Yun Fenglian, faced with the concubine's repeated proposals to let other imperial heirs also have the opportunity to get close to him and be taught by him, he only felt that the concubine was really beautiful and kind, and he couldn't think of whether it was a transgression at all.

But the queen, as the master of the harem and the mother-in-law of all the imperial heirs, is the person who has the most reason to care for any imperial heir, how can she not be sensitive?

Not to mention her, even the maid of the middle palace, I really can't think of a reason to appease the queen.

The master and servant looked at each other for a moment, Gu Zhen sighed, and sat down down: "Even so, what can this palace do?" ”

"Niangniang, the situation has been stabilized for the time being." Seeing this, he whispered to persuade left and right, "Your Majesty is not an impulsive person, even if you are confused by the concubine, you will definitely not do anything in a short time." After surviving the past few years, the ten princes and the twelve princes will grow up, and the courtiers should also propose to establish a prince, and at that time, the concubines under your name will be better than the concubines in front of them. Even if His Majesty is partial, how can the ministers connive? After all, the general trend is still on our side. Don't worry about the concubine, let's do the middle palace generously, so that Your Majesty and the concubine can't find fault with anything, and when the East Palace is decided, you will be able to rest assured. ”

Of course, this is impossible, and the concubine for the East Palace is only the first step.

If you don't live in Qingci Palace, how can you feel at ease?

But Gu Zhen has endured humiliation and burdens over the years, and it is desperate to say that it is so far away.

The attendants then advised her to set a small goal first, such as making her sister-in-law the crown prince.

In this way, Gu Zhen finally calmed down a little, and thought: "Wait a while, call the third prince over, but in the future, I can't let him continue to let King Qin and them." ”

Previously, the queen had always told the three princes not to fight with King Zhaoqing of Qin, or even with any of the imperial heirs.

Because of his biological mother, he was not treated by Chunjia with the second prince, and at this point, the heirs of those who were not favored by their biological mothers and adoptive mothers were stronger than them.

If there are too many conflicts, and Chunjia is not happy, then he will find a random person to send people away, so that the heirs and descendants can only live in a deserted place.

But now it's different.

Now Gu Zhen's trust in Chunjia has been further shaken, considering that the ten princes and the twelve princes are all several years younger than the king of Qin, the queen thinks that it is necessary to take precautions now and make herself famous.

Well, it is the reputation of the queen who is dignified and virtuous.

Think about it, when the two healthy sons-in-law were young and did not know the virtuous and foolish, King Qin and Zhaoqing had already been smart enough to spread their deeds inside and outside.

At this time, if the queen can't stand up, she will be very good at teaching children, and being the queen's heir will definitely be able to become a talent, so that the courtiers are full of expectations and trust for her son-in-law, maybe when the ten princes and twelve princes grow up, the king of Qin will already have full wings!

And the queen will have to teach the children how to build a reputation?

I can only let the three princes stand up and make this signboard.

Doing so would be sacrificing the future of the third prince, and would even put him in a dangerous position.

After all, Yun Fenghuan is not a person who will tolerate other imperial heirs stealing the limelight from the children in front of her, she is so favored, the queen is helpless, the second prince and the third prince are still the heirs that Chunjia dislikes...... To put it mildly, if Yun Fenglian murdered the third prince in a fit of anger, Chunjia would most likely know about it and pretend to be confused, helping Concubine Ai cover up the matter.

If it's good, the queen will definitely be reluctant.

The third prince was the first child she raised, or the child she raised when she did not foresee that she would become a queen and had many children under her knees.

In those days, she really wanted to guard the three princes well, rely on this child for her life, and chat for the rest of her life.

And the third prince has always been very well-behaved and obedient, especially when there is the king of Chu as a comparison, the queen can't help but love him from the bottom of her heart.

Can ...... now

For the sake of the two sturdy sons-in-law, as well as for herself and her family, the queen couldn't help but put him on the cusp.

After a while, looking at the three princes in front of him, who were well-behaved and would try to compete with King Qin, Gu Zhen asked in a complicated mood: "Don't you ask why?" ”

“？？” The third prince looked at her suspiciously, thought for a while, and whispered, "The queen mother's orders, the sons and daughters should obey them." ”

So for what reason?

Gu Zhen almost burst into tears when he heard this, so he quickly looked away and endured it, held his hand, exhaled deeply, and said, "Don't always take King Chu with you in the future, he is a child who doesn't grow up, and he is not very sensible, so he doesn't have to delay your homework." ...... backwards"

She hesitated, then turned firm, and said in a low voice, "Go and see your seventh brother more in the future." Remember, you feel like you're very close to your seventh brother, and you like him very much. ”

The emperor is unreliable, he can't protect himself, think about it, in the huge palace, the only one who can let the three princes get some shelter is the seventh prince who was reluctant to accept it as a hot potato.

…… Even if Empress Dowager Yuan knew Chunjia's taboo against the three princes, in order to let the seventh prince have more helpers in the future, she must be willing to take care of this grandson a little, right?

Gu Zhen smiled bitterly, she could only look forward to it now.

As for whether the third prince will really be co-opted by the seventh prince in the future, the queen is not very worried.

The Seven Princes are the same age as the Ten Princes and the Twelve Princes, and when he grows up, the Ten Princes and the Twelve Princes will almost be able to come in handy, and then the Middle Palace will not need the Three Princes to charge into battle.

This year's Holy Birthday Festival is coming in this undercurrent.

At the banquet, the queen specially arranged for the three princes to guard the seven princes every inch.

Empress Dowager Yuan really noticed it and asked the queen in private: "Hasn't the third child been sticking to the king of Chu, why did he follow the seventh child again?" ”

"Queen Mother, you don't know, Bing'er has always been this character." The queen showed helplessness and said in a low voice, "I take care of my younger brothers and sisters. It's not ...... The queen mother also knew about the illness of the king of Chu. I had disturbed the Ten Princes earlier, and not long ago, Xu asked a few more words about the Seventh Prince, so I ......"

Empress Dowager Yuan's face changed suddenly, and she said in a low voice: "What happened to him to Lao Qi?!" ”

“…… The queen mother was angry, but she didn't do much, because Bing'er arrived in time to stop the person. The queen felt a pain in her heart, the three princes' well-behaved won her heart, how could the king of Chu not be raised by her with great effort?

But now, the three princes are destined to be sacrificed, and the king of Chu ...... It has to come in handy, too!

She was ruthless, and sighed casually, "No, he now knows that he can't reason with the King of Chu, and he is afraid that he will repeat his old tricks, so he has been following the Seven Princes for the past two days, so as not to cause the Seven Princes to suffer." ”

"That's a good boy." Sure enough, Empress Dowager Yuan glanced at the third prince several times and sighed lightly, "It's really rare...... It's just that I'm affected by my mother's family. ”

The queen knew that the matter was in a hurry, and she urged the queen mother too much to protect the three princes, which would only arouse suspicion, so she smiled and didn't say anything.

Empress Dowager Yuan didn't mention it again, but only in the subsequent acceptance of the birthday, she gave an extra boost to the third prince and asked him: "Listen to your queen mother." ”

In the case that King Qin, Zhaoqing, the second prince and other imperial heirs who were ranked in front of the three princes did not receive support, nor did they get any advice, this move shows that the Empress Dowager Yuan is satisfied with the three princes.

So much so that Chun Jia asked with a smile next to him: "The queen mother seems to be in love with the old thirty?" ”

"It's just that he knows how to protect his younger brothers at a young age, and he feels a little emotional." Empress Dowager Yuan said lightly, "The mourning family remembers that Neem Niang made a mistake at that time, and you also protected her like this." At that time, the two of you were a little smaller, and the birthday of the mourning family was not so big, but it was just for you to accompany the mourning family to have a light feast...... In a blink of an eye, so many years have passed. ”

The past she mentioned, Chunjia was also a little embarrassed.

At that time, he felt depressed, but because of the contrast of being dormant under Ji's hands, looking back on the past, he felt that it was the most carefree and fulfilling years of his life.

After all, the biggest pressure is nothing more than not being able to inherit the prince.

At least there is no need for life.

And since stepping into the imperial capital, not to mention when the Ji family was there, even now, he is still in a situation where he accidentally loses everything.

The Son of Heaven's eyes were in a trance, and he smiled: "It's been a few years, but the queen mother still looks as young as she did back then." ”

"Come and mourn again." Empress Dowager Yuan said angrily, "King Qin is going to study, why is the mourning family still young?" ”

Although the intimacy between her and the emperor is no longer the intimacy when Yun Fenghuang first entered the palace, after all, there are many years of accumulation of dependence.

As long as Empress Dowager Yuan doesn't make a request that Chunjia is very resistant to, or tears it up with Yunfenghuan to make Chunjia embarrassed...... Chunjia is still very willing to follow her.

Especially the Queen Mother's memories at this time are some things that have been lost for a long time and are warm to the emperor.

For a while, the mother and son chatted warmly, and the rest of the people couldn't interject.

At this moment, Yun Fenghuang noticed that there was a palace probe at the door, as if there was something important to tell.
