Chapter Three Hundred and Ninety Seventh

The Empress Dowager was unwilling to come forward to restrain Princess Minghui, this matter was not so easy for Chunjia and the Yun family to resolve.

After all, the Empress Dowager, as Xiaozong's biological mother, ordered to get rid of Xiaozong's relatives and grandchildren whose father was unknown.

Anyone else, even Chunjia, would be suspected of being unable to tolerate Xiaozong's flesh and blood.

The emperor had pretended to be magnanimous for so long, so he really didn't want to take this kind of blame.

But the Yun family was even more afraid to bear such a crime.

Under the stalemate, in the end, Yun Fenghuang couldn't see it anymore. After reporting to Chunjia, he secretly summoned Yunxi guest to the side hall of Taichu Palace, and gave the opportunity face-to-face: "Your Majesty has made great contributions to your majesty, so how can your majesty not turn to you?" Just think about it for Your Majesty, this Minghui has an unusual status, how can His Majesty treat his flesh and blood wrongly when he succeeds Xiaozong? Besides, your family is certainly wronged by this matter, isn’t it also an excellent opportunity?”

"Isn't Your Highness Ming Hui determined to give birth to this child in a fit of anger?"

"Then let her live!"

"If it's a daughter, the eldest daughter sounds more honorable, but whether it's real gold or not depends on how much the family values ​​it? You are all loyal to His Majesty, raising a child who is rich and well-fed, is it embarrassing?"

"Anyway, when I grow old, a dowry is sent out!"

"Niang Niang." Yunxi Ke couldn't help but said, "If it is confirmed that it is a girl, it's not that I can't do this. But who can say for sure about this kind of thing? If it is a male heir, wouldn't it be necessary to occupy the position of the eldest son of the minister? ?”

That's why Yun's family wanted to seek justice from Chunjia.

Their long-standing distinguished family, not to mention the concubines, the eldest son is especially the most expensive among them, enjoying the best treatment and support from their parents' family.

No matter how tolerant Yunxi Ke could be, how could he give up such treatment to a child who God knows if he was of Yun's blood, and wronged his own flesh and blood?

Yun Fenghuang laughed softly and said: "If it is a male heir, it will be said to the outside world that the child is born with congenital deficiencies, and it is enough to set up a separate courtyard for placement."

She said meaningfully, "Whether it's your Majesty or the Yun family, the reason why His Royal Highness Minghui can't do anything about it is because of her high status, not to mention the blood and blood of Emperor Xiaozong, and her parents are dead, let alone the only real grandmother, the Empress Dowager." Say! So there is nothing to be afraid of? But...Your Majesty is filial to the first emperor and the Empress Dowager, but it is impossible to treat such a child differently! You don't have to be harsh on purpose, just ask him to live in another courtyard. Live your life without asking him to show up. With His Majesty’s trust and love for you, is it possible that you still have to blame him? As long as Your Majesty does not blame, even if His Highness Ming Hui objects, is it useful?”

Yunxi Ke narrowed his eyes slightly.

Then I heard the imperial concubine continue to say: "In this way, even if he assumes the status of the eldest son in name, what's the use?"

The voice lowered, "It's your family. Earlier, it was up to His Majesty and down to colleagues. It is only said that Minghui was quite tormented, causing you and your family members to suffer a lot of grievances. But there is no clear feeling about how much grievances. Who doesn't sympathize with you? Your Majesty, can you find a chance to make up for it in the future?"

"The only loss is that you lose face."

"But to be honest, this Gong has already happened. Even if Minghui had an abortion, your face would have been lost."

"No matter what you do now, you can't change the facts. Why don't you think about planning some benefits for yourself... What do you think?"

Yunxi Ke thought about it carefully, and sincerely cupped his hands to thank: "Thank you for your guidance, the noble concubine, the minister suddenly understands, and I will not let your majesty worry about such family matters anymore!"

"You said this is a family matter, so you really understand." Yun Fenghuang nodded, and said slowly, "Although this palace is not of the Yun family's blood, after all, it is a daughter of the Yun family who has entered the genealogy. Therefore, we have a shallow relationship today. Yan Shen, I would like to say a few more words to you: Although your highness is noble, since she is married to you, she is your wife. Whether it is now or in the future, the things your highness does are family affairs first of all. You are a man Husband, after all these years of marriage, he has never been able to subdue his wife, and has repeatedly asked His Majesty to worry about it... Those who know say that you respect His Highness Minghui and dare not make mistakes. Those who don't know say that you have a weak temperament and are unlikely to make a big deal! If things go on like this, even if His Majesty loves you again, how can he not feel that you are not good at shouldering important responsibilities?!"

Hearing these words, Yunxike's face immediately changed, and he cupped his hands again: "Thank you, Madam, for reminding me! I will definitely pay attention to it in the future!"

Yun Fenghuang said: "It's good that you know. In fact, from my palace's point of view, Her Highness Minghui grew up too carefree in her early years. Her methods against you, Yun's, and His Majesty are just a few hands back and forth. , there is nothing difficult to deal with. To sum it up, if there is nothing, keep it at a respectful distance! Of course, you are a son-in-law, so it is impossible to stay away from her. However, don't take her actions too seriously. She must go to meet her boyfriend in private, and she must Giving birth to a child whose father is unknown... Just a few words of persuasion, if you can't persuade, just cover it up, always take the overall situation into consideration. Even if it's not for the Yun family, it's for the royal family's reputation and for the late emperor!"

"It was not her virtue, gentleness and consideration that mattered to you as the Lord. It was her status as a golden branch and jade leaf, didn't she?"

"Since this is the case, there is no need to ask her with the requirements of ordinary women."

"Who said that someone from a good family background is Xiaozong's only direct blood? You should look at Xiaozong's face and have the right to be loyal to His Majesty as Xiaozong!"

These words are too bare-bones, Yunxi Ke was born in a noble family, since he was a child, except for Princess Minghui, even Chunjia is kind to him, and he has never heard anyone open his mouth so bluntly. The nature of marriage.

There was some silence for a while.

He actually wanted to be angry, but thinking of Yun Fenghuang's identity and Emperor's favor, he subconsciously stopped talking.

During this moment of silence, Yun Fenghuang had already figured it out, and said slowly: "My son-in-law, don't think what I said is unpleasant. If you think about it earlier, you will know that Minghui can't do anything to you. It's you, your sister-in-law earlier. In order for you to have your own flesh and blood, I did not hesitate to come to Bengong personally. It is better now, His Highness Minghui has given birth to a child with an unknown father in front of you, and is still wearing the identity of Yun's blood. Then you will be fine in the future There is one or two bloodlines outside, who can say that yours is not?"

Yunxike wants to say that this is not the same thing at all. After all, according to the current view, his wife has not allowed him to touch him in the past two years since he got married, so it is human nature for him to want to find and have two children outside. But what his wife did is what the world cannot tolerate.

But thinking of what Yun Fenghuang said, Minghui is not an ordinary woman, she is Xiaozong's blood...

If the person in power is Xiaozong's own flesh and blood, that's fine. After all, his father has gone, so it's only natural for him to be a brother's controlling sister.

But Chunjia is not.

This is not easy.

This... seems to be the only way the imperial concubine said, to trade the shame of an illegitimate child in exchange for the continuation of her own bloodline and the emperor's sympathy.

"Your Majesty's teachings, I will take note." Although I feel that the concubine's words are reasonable, it is no wonder that Minghui doesn't like the concubine, and has repeatedly targeted Yun Fenghuang, but has never been able to do anything about Yun Fenghuang... But Yunxi After all, the guest is a unicorn son of the Yun family, so he can't bear such humiliation.

So after thanking you, I quickly left.

Yun Fenghuang then went to the main hall to return Chunjia's life.

When the emperor heard that the Yunxi guest had compromised and even left happily, he breathed a sigh of relief and praised: "Ah Huang still has a way. I have had a headache these two days!"

"What can I do as a concubine?" Yun Fenghuang said with a smile, "Don't you rely on His Majesty's majesty? To put it bluntly, it's not that the Yun family doesn't understand these principles. He grew up loved and loved. The Lord in his mind is supposed to be a golden branch and a jade leaf, and he is also gentle, considerate and virtuous, and even took the initiative to send a beautiful maid to marry him as a concubine... It is really a beautiful idea, and the benefits of being the whole world will be rewarded. What about him?"

Chunjia couldn't help but laugh: "Ah Huang doesn't seem to like Yunxi Ke very much?"

"...Your Majesty said that." Yun Fenghuang gave him a blank look when he heard the words, and said with a smile, "I am His Majesty's concubine, if I like it, I must only like His Majesty! What do you like a foreign minister? He Is there a majesty who is wise and powerful, or is there a majesty who is as rich as jade? Is it worth my concubine's liking for him?"

"Don't make trouble." The emperor scolded with a smile, "You know I didn't mean that."

Only then did Yun Fenghuang straighten his face, and said: "I don't like it. After all, this one he favored is the most honorable one among the three daughters of the late emperor. It shows how much His Majesty had high hopes for him at the beginning! What happened? It's only been a few years since we got married, how many times have he and the Yun family come to look for His Majesty for this? What does this mean? If you don't say it, you may regret it in your heart, or even blame Your Majesty? I don't want to Come to think of it, even though Minghui has a bad temper, he is still a son of gold and jade! If it weren't for His Majesty's praise, how many people proposed to marry them, and it would be their turn to be Yun's son?!"

"If you really can't stand Ming Hui's temper and declined earlier, is it possible that His Majesty will force His Highness the Eldest Princess?"

"If I don't think carefully, I will ask His Majesty to give them the bottom line."

"I don't see that His Majesty is busy with government affairs, how many things can't be worried?"

"I still need to cause trouble for His Majesty... How can I like them? It's not bad if I don't hate them!"

Chunjia comforted: "We can't blame them all, after all, Minghui's temperament is indeed a bit unbearable, but her identity is left there, I can't say anything, let alone Yun's?"

"Your Majesty!" Yun Fenghuang was waiting for him to say so!

Hearing the words, he was solemn, and said in a deep voice, "I'm not afraid that your Majesty may suspect that this concubine has ulterior motives. Today, this concubine is really a bit uncomfortable: it is because Minghui's nature is not easy to deal with, and her status makes your majesty also use it. Yun Shi Those who restrain her will sue at every turn...so Minghui will never know how pampering and generous His Majesty treats her!"

The emperor knew that the imperial concubine had always had a grudge against the Yun family, and when he heard the smile in front of him, he didn't take it seriously. When he heard the last sentence, his eyes narrowed slightly, and he smiled and said, "Oh?"

"Your Majesty, we all know that His Majesty is actually very protective of His Highness Minghui." Yun Fenghuang said slowly, "But His Highness has always been ignorant... The reason is that His Highness came from a dignified family. Ji Chengxu is the only woman in her life, and she is so doted on that she doesn't teach her the truth well. Therefore, in the eyes of His Highness, it is a matter of course that His Majesty treats her with obedience. After leaving the cabinet, she went to the Yun family, Ruoyun Shi, especially the son-in-law, has taught His Highness a little bit, so in contrast, it can be seen that His Majesty cares for her, do you think she is not touched at all?"

"If Mrs. Yun did this, it would not be Mrs. Yun who came to the palace frequently to ask for help, but His Highness."

"Your Majesty has appeared for her once or twice. His Majesty may still remember the past and treat His Majesty with a cold face. After many times, His Majesty knows that you are her biggest reliance. You treat her well, but you say she is nothing. Hard-hearted, will you not change?"

"So Yun's kindness to His Highness, seemingly respecting the royal family, is actually putting His Majesty in an unrighteous place!"

"May I ask that Your Highness has misunderstood His Majesty in the first place. Under such circumstances, Yun frequently asks His Majesty to call the shots... What should His Majesty do? Upholding justice for Yun will inevitably deepen the grievance between you and Your Highness!"

"If you don't uphold justice for the Yun family, His Majesty is extremely fair, but how can you ask Sacred Heart to deal with it?"

"That's why the concubine said that the Yun family either did it on purpose, they had ulterior motives, or...they were too stupid, they never thought that what they are doing now is a disguised form of alienating the royal family!"

"It's even more embarrassing for His Majesty!"

Yun Fenghuang finished speaking in one breath, and sighed softly, "Your Majesty, I have been thinking this way for a long time, and every sentence comes from the bottom of my heart!"

"No selfishness!"

"Your Majesty, please be enlightened!"

If the emperor doesn't believe it this time, it doesn't matter, just come again next time.

She couldn't believe it anymore, Duke Yi's contribution to Chunjia, no matter how great it was, could it be greater than Queen Mother Yuan?

She drove away the Empress Dowager Yuan, not to mention the Yun family!

As her natal family in name, she has been standing by and refusing to contribute... Then what else is there for!
