Chapter 108: Falling into the Well
Gu Zhen didn't expect the concubine to ask this question, so he was stunned for a moment before saying, "She...... After she entered the palace, Sister Shuang was very supportive of her, but after Sister Shuang Yan went, she immediately bowed her head to you, such a person, why does the palace take care of her? β
"I see, but it is a concubine who spends the belly of a gentleman with the heart of a villain." Yun Fenghuang said with a smile, "The concubine still thinks that the friendship between the queen mother and Concubine Zhenxi is limited to Concubine Zhenxi herself, and even Concubine Xie can't be quilted." β
Gu Zhen frowned and said lightly: "Besides, aren't you already taking care of Concubine Xie?" She now has a son under her knees and is in the position of a concubine, is there anything wrong with her life? β
In fact, what the queen really wanted to say was that at that time, Yun Fenghuang tore all over the invincible hands of the Six Palaces, and she was too busy to take care of herself, where did she have time to take care of Concubine Xie?
But when he said this, he would be too embarrassed.
Gu Zhen showed a tired look and let Yun Fenghuang leave: "This palace is tired, what else do you have to say, go back and talk about it, this palace wants to rest now." β
Yun Fenghuang responded with a smile, and then Shi Shiran left.
After returning to the Huanhua Palace, she summoned Chen Jing to her and asked about the recent situation of Tongxia Palace.
Chen Jing whispered: "Over the past few years, according to Niangniang's earlier instructions, we have hinted at some people that Concubine Xie Niangniang has misbehaved and lost your favor. Up and down, I didn't dare to do anything at first, but then I tried a few times, and when I saw that we really didn't have much protection for the Chengcai Palace, my attitude gradually slackened. Now Concubine Xie's mother and son are becoming more and more cautious in their words and deeds, and they rarely even go out of the door of the main hall, for fear of causing trouble. As for the examples, there are also some omissions due to the hurry. Of course, Concubine Xie Niangniang and the four princes have noble status after all, and they still have basic food and clothing, but few people around them have to suffer. β
The so-called lack is actually being taken away to fill one's pocket.
Yun Fenglian didn't need to ask, and he knew that Chen Jing would probably be involved.
She didn't care, she just smiled and said, "So it seems that Concubine Xie is a sensible person, didn't she come to the palace to cry and complain about her grievances?" β
"Where does she have that face?" Chen Jing said with a smile, "Is it hard to believe that over the years, Niangniang has not taken care of her enough?" If you come to the mother to complain about your grievances, it will be too annoying. β
Yun Fenghuang said lazily: "You talk like this, it seems that she doesn't come to beg for mercy, but is sensible?" β
Chen Jing was originally flattering, but when he heard the words, he realized that he had said something wrong, so he hurriedly slapped himself in the face and said, "It's the slave who is confused and said something wrong." Where is Concubine Xie's sensible? There are no rules at all! Even the omissions in the cases are hidden and refused to be said, and I don't know how many unknown secrets are hidden in the plain plain, so that no one will know! It can be seen that the mind is deep and unpredictable, which is not a good one! β
"Spread the news that His Majesty is already worried about King Qin's enrollment." Yun Fenghuang snorted, propped his cheeks, and lazily ordered, "Especially Tongxia Palace, let them know that Your Majesty is personally selecting the western seat for King Qin...... As for the other princes, His Majesty will be able to think of them for a while, but he may not think of them. β
Chen Jing bowed down and responded, seeing that she had no other instructions, he hurriedly went down to do something.
Yun Feng saw him off, and muttered slightly: King Qin, as the eldest son, will be the twin second prince and the third prince, the two siblings, and these two princes have always been inferior to other imperial heirs because of their biological mothers.
Over the years, Chunjia has also been very clear and unkind to them.
So the emperor basically doesn't worry about their enrollment, and these two are the four princes.
But Concubine Fan Xie has some hope for the four princes, and she is afraid that she will not be able to sit still.
Yun Fenghuang smiled faintly, what he wanted was that Concubine Xie couldn't sit still.
She casually removed a few heavy hairpin rings in front of the mirror, leaned back, and lazily ordered someone to come in and wait for a change, and the day passed.
A few days later, the Jiang family asked to see each other, and the mother and daughter took a photo in the Huanhua Palace, and Yun Fenghuang asked why the Jiang family came.
"Princess Lin, do you remember?" Jiang said, "She asked someone to send a generous gift, and there are ten pearls the size of her thumb alone." β
"I guess she will not sit idly by with a little bit of blood and blood from King Fuyang, but this thing is not easy to handle." Yun Fenghuang bowed slightly, and said, "It's okay to go other places, Fuyang County is the place where His Majesty was born and raised, how important is it?" To put it mildly, if it weren't for the Ji family's quarrel with the regent back then, how could His Majesty let Gongxiang Ruogong pick up the cheap? It is necessary to wait for the heirs under his knees to have more heirs, and choose the biological flesh and blood who are not good to inherit the throne and are deeply loved to succeed the heirs, which can be regarded as a fate of the same biological father. As a result, this Gongxiang Ruo is not interesting, and he will give His Majesty's carefully loved Li Shu to the scourge, which is also the kind of heavenly son that His Majesty is not anxious about, otherwise, how could he give him the opportunity to come to the imperial capital? Early in the morning, I asked the Imperial City Division to get people and hand them over to the Zongren Mansion! β
Jiang said: "Why don't I think so...... Then I went back and politely declined? β
"Not necessarily." Yun Fenghuang shook his head and said, "This matter is difficult, but since His Majesty has given Gongxiang Ruogong the opportunity to face the saint, it is obvious that he still has the intention of taking it lightly." And take the gift, I'll take the opportunity to act. But the mother and Princess Lin have to make it clear. Don't think that if we accept the gift, this matter will be settled, and I won't give them a ticket. Who told them that they had no way to raise such an idiot? β
Jiang nodded: "I know, after I go back, I will return the things to them, and wait for them to add some and send them over, and then accept them." β
The mother and daughter looked at each other and smiled, and asked each other about the current situation.
Yun Fenghuang said: "There has been nothing in the palace recently, but His Majesty summoned Wei Changkong a few times ago and personally inquired about the prince's enrollment. β
"The prince's admission ......" she mentioned this, Jiang's heart moved, and she said, "But I don't know if King Qin's companion can be found?" β
"Companion?" Yun Fenghuang was stunned for a moment, and then said, "This, because the child is still young, I haven't thought about it." Do you want to recommend your nephews? β
Jiang said: "After all, King Qin is under the name of Concubine Zhenxi, and the Yun family is his foreign family, so the companion reading should still focus on the children of the Yun family, but since you raise him, you don't let go of your own people around you, and don't say that you are not at ease, that is, other people, including King Qin himself, are afraid that they will be suspicious, worried that you will not care about him, and your relatives and nephews will be stingy." β
This is not a big deal, according to the rules, the prince can have at least two companions, and Yun Fenghuan responded: "Then please pick a mother for me, choose the good-looking and well-behaved nephew, and when the time comes, I will go and talk to Your Majesty." β
Jiang asked Xie Yi and the others if they were obedient, and when they learned that everything was fine, they breathed a sigh of relief and said, "The family never thought about such wealth and opportunities today, so the teaching of the children is just decent. Most children are still spoiled, but the court is not as good as the Northland, and it can't be like this in the future. I'm really afraid that the previous training of them at home was not reliable enough and caused you some trouble in the palace. β
"Mother, you think too much, the nieces are all fine now." Yun Fenghuang groaned and said, "Kuo'er...... Especially clever. β
"This is also unintentionally planted in the willows." Jiang frowned and said, "You know your second aunt, she is a person who has no ability, and she has a hard time managing her own one-third of an acre, and her son and daughter-in-law are not fuel-efficient lamps. Kuo'er, the child, watched her mother fight with her aunts and aunts from the moment she hit the ground, and fought with her aunts, even brothers and sisters who came out of the same father, and they stumbled each other in order to compete for favor...... The daughters who grew up in such an environment will inevitably be extra well-behaved. β
It's not like the four-room where the Jiang family is.
Because she can control the field, the daughters-in-law don't dare to make a mistake even if they are careful, not to mention the rest, the rules of the concubine are very clear.
The concubines didn't dare to make a fuss at all, and the grandchildren who came out of the concubines were also very honest.
That's why there will be a little girl like Xie Meng who has no scheming.
is Xie Yi, because his appearance is not like Yunfenghuan, and he has not been particularly favored by his family, so his temperament is not as arrogant and domineering as Xie Meng, but when it comes to being sensible and considerate, it is not very good.
The main thing is that they are used to being surrounded, and it is very difficult for them to revolve around other people, even if they are the aunts of the concubines.
In contrast, although Xie Kuo is not the kind of child who takes the initiative to please, his behavior is undoubtedly a lot more pleasing.
"Your Majesty doesn't like her well-behaved, but thinks Meng'er is innocent and simple." Yun Fenghuang said, "Of course, they are still young now, and when they grow up, they are still blindly naΓ―ve and ignorant, which is not good after all." I didn't say this to Meng'er, lest Meng'er become more and more unmotivated. β
Jiang nodded: "That's how it should be, Meng'er is lazy." It's also that we are not good, we spoiled her when we were young, and we have cultivated this temperament now. Even if you screw it for her, it won't be easy to screw it for a while. Fortunately, she is also blessed, first you, then Your Majesty, in the end, there is still a little love for her. But I hope that in the future, don't let down this grace. β
After saying this, the Jiang family also took his leave.
Within two days, the trustee sent a message to the Huanhua Palace, saying that the person sent by Princess Lin had added another 30,000 taels of silver, and he didn't ask for anything else, so he asked Yunfeng Huang for help, and he saved the life of Gongxiang Ruogong.
It's really not okay to send people back to the Zhou Palace.
This is really my mother, so I will worry about it at any cost.
Like his father, King Zhou, he also sent someone over, but the person who came was the same as before, he went directly to Chunjia, and he had no intention of looking for a favorite concubine to knock on the side at all.
If it weren't for the sincerity of the benefits sent by Princess Lin, even if Chunjia didn't want to kill Gongxiang Ruogong earlier, Yun Fenglian would have sent him to Huangquan Road.
Despite this, she also thinks that it is necessary to give King Zhou a little look and let him understand who has the final say in this kind of thing.
So after learning that the envoy of King Zhou had come to visit, Yun Fenghuang immediately asked the small kitchen to pack up some food, and went to Taichu Palace under the banner of visiting Chunjia.
It was also a coincidence, when she arrived, the envoy of King Zhou had just retired, Chun Jia's expression was not very happy, Yun Fenghuang observed the words, and pretended to be indifferent, and persuaded Chun Jia to take care of the royal body, saying that he brought a flower cake specially made by the cook, which was mixed with a lot of medicinal materials, all of which were checked by the imperial doctor, absolutely harmless, and the most nourishing: "Now that it is summer, the summer is about to escape, the road is bumpy, Your Majesty has every opportunity, and it should be a good life to raise." β
Chun Jia sneered when he heard this, and said: "I want to raise it, but none of these bastard things are worry-free!" β
Yun Fenghuang was surprised: "Isn't there anyone who has made Your Majesty angry?" β
"King Zhou's people have just left." Chunjia casually told her, "What did you say when King Zhou sent someone to Tongme?" It is said that because the original Fuyang Royal Mansion was my hidden residence, the King of Fuyang did not dare to trespass when he went to Fuyang County, and only asked people to build another mansion next to the palace, which is the so-called large-scale construction. As for the fish, meat, and the people, that's all the thing...... If not, those people who complained, I personally asked, are indeed from Fuyang County, how can they explain?! There have always been many lawless people among the clansmen. In the past, I couldn't free up my hand to clean them up, so I could only press them for the time being. I really have a good temper and can always tolerate them reversing black and white and mutilating the township?! β
"Your Majesty, the concubine feels like you." Yun Fenghuang immediately fell into the ground, and Zhengse said, "The top priority, I'm afraid it's not to convict King Fuyang, after all, this person's incident has already happened, and the next thing is nothing more than how to deal with it." But first, someone checked King Zhou's fiefdom, is there anything more serious? After all, King Fuyang is the son of King Zhou, and it has only been a few days since he succeeded King Fuyang to do such a thing, King Zhou, as his biological father, did not want to ask for guilt, but also exonerated him, it can be seen that his body is not right, and his heart is not right! Such a person is a vassal king who has accumulated many years among his clansmen, who knows what he has done in the fiefdom?! β
These words reminded Chun Jia, he frowned, and said: "What Ah Huang said is very true, I will leave it to the Imperial City Division to do it." β
Although King Zhou is a fool, Princess Lin is still very clever.
So Yun Fenghuang said again: "And this thing is quite strange. No matter how much King Zhou relies on the old and sells the old, out of awe of His Majesty, he will not be so blind? Earlier, I heard that Princess Lin, the biological mother of King Fuyang, was the stepwife of King Zhou, and she was not very harmonious with the prince of Zhou and other princes. I don't know if there is anything to do with the matter of King Fuyang this time, or the family affairs of the same Zhou Palace? If this is the case, this Zhou Wang is too much of a bastard, how can he let the affairs of the backyard affect the people and make His Majesty even more annoyed? β
Chunjia pinched the corners of his forehead and snorted: "Zhou Wangfu...... I have made a note, I have Lao Ahuang today, and I still have some government affairs to deal with, so you can go. I'll go back and see your mother. β
Because of Yun Fenghuan's words, the envoy of King Zhou didn't even have a chance to face the saint again, and was directly rejected outside the palace gate.
Jiang then called the envoy of Princess Lin, who had not yet left the imperial capital, to him, and said that he wanted to return the gift: "Your Majesty is very displeased, and if you are so troubled by the envoy of the prince, who would dare to go to the palace to say this?" Although our mother is deeply satisfied, she does not dare to provoke His Majesty's anger in the end. β
The messenger was Princess Lin's confidant, watching Gongxiang Ruogong grow up, he was frightened and angry when he heard this, and he promised to have a good reward in the future, and begged the Jiang family to pity Princess Lin for such an heir in this life, and tried every means to arrange for him to succeed the king of Fuyang, which was also for his good.
If there is one with three long and two short, how can the princess live?
"Madame is also a mother, when you know the heart of my princess, as long as the king of Fuyang is good, let my mother do anything." The envoy burst into tears, and the Jiang family was a little unbearable, and said, "It's not that I refuse to help, and it's not that the palace lady is not compassionate. But the mother was not completely sure, and now it ...... His Majesty called the envoy of King Zhou to say that he was really angry, and the lady in the palace did not dare to mention this. Why don't you go to Zhaowubo's Mansion and have a look? Please ask the queen to come forward? β
Although the queen's identity is higher than that of the concubine, where is the concubine useful?
Before the envoy came, he was told by Princess Lin, and he didn't think about taking the path of the Gu family at all......
In the end, the Jiang family relented and sighed: "Okay, for the sake of being a mother, I will go into the palace again to persuade my mother." It's just that you also know that no matter how much I sympathize with the mother and son of the King of Fuyang, in the end, Niangniang is my own flesh and blood, if this matter hinders Niangniang's future, even if the princess resents me, I can't rely on it. β
So the messenger sent her into the palace with great gratitude.
The Jiang family went to the Huanhua Hall to chat with Yun Fenghuang and went back, telling the envoy that the Dao is the concubine is not sure now, so she can only say that she will do her best.
In this case, even if the envoy was not at ease, he did not dare to say anything, lest the Jiang clan leave it alone, and only said earnestly that Gongxiang Ruogong was really wronged, and he had no intention of harming Li Shu...... Jiang asked about the details casually, thoughtfully, and arrived at Xuanqing Palace again within two days.
