Four Hundred and Eightieth IX Reunion Place and Reunion
Although Yun Fenghuang finally admitted that the Qing people's analysis was correct.
Xie Xiaoyu's tragedy could have been avoided.
In the final analysis, she and the Jiang family were too powerful. Xie Xiaoyu seemed to have a good relationship with them, but deep down, she was actually very afraid of them.
This kind of fear even reached the point where he couldn't believe that Yun Fenghuang and Jiang's mother and daughter would stand between him and Xie Jiang's side.
And Xie Wuzheng, who is also the youngest son, is not like Xie Xiaoyu. First of all, the mistress of the big house, Mrs. Guo, is not a strong master. After all, as the eldest daughter-in-law, she successfully gave birth to a male heir after entering the door, but still lost to the new fourth daughter-in-law. This kind of experience itself does not have strong qualifications.
The second is that Xie Wuzheng is the youngest child of the Guo family, and he really enjoys the various preferences of the youngest son.
And he is different from Xie Xiaoyu, his qualifications are obviously better than Xie Xiaoyu's, and he is also highly valued among the many sons-in-law.
He is considered to be the most talented student after Xie Fu.
That's why Mrs. Guo attaches great importance to this son, so she replaced all the maids serving him with the ugliest ones, because she is afraid that if she relaxes a little bit, she will have a little hoof to seduce her handsome and talented young son, which will ruin him. future.
Xie Wuzheng and Xie Xiaoyu who grew up in this situation must have different temperaments.
But after Yun Fenghuang thought about it again and again, he didn't choose anyone from before him, but disguised himself, taking advantage of Chunjia's absence on this day, he quietly went to the side hall of Mianfu Palace to meet Mrs. Shen.
"Your Majesty, if you have something to do, just send someone to give instructions. Why did you come here in person?" Mrs. Shen has been clean for many years, and she has always fallen asleep early, so she has already settled down now.
After being called up by the palace people, he was quite surprised, and after a little freshening up, he went to the flower hall to meet the guests, with a serious expression on his face, afraid of some bad news, "But I don't know what happened?"
"Don't worry about the concubine, Your Highness is safe and sound." Seeing that she had misunderstood, Yun Fenghuang quickly explained, and then said, "But I heard from Your Majesty a few days ago that the concubine wants to send two people to His Highness?"
Mrs. Shen was stunned for a moment, her expression was a little unnatural: "That's what happened... After all, even though Sui'an is a golden branch and jade leaf, she is a married woman after all. I thought, since their husband and wife love each other, it doesn't look like this if they continue like this ..."
Having said that, the concubine's brows were somewhat displeased.
She told Chunjia back then that she had personally prepared two palace maids for her son-in-law to inherit heirs, but she just reminded Chunjia gently to be on guard against Xie Wuzheng, and not to flirt with Xie Xiaoyu.
At that time, the emperor promised repeatedly that he would help to take care of it, and he was determined not to make Suian feel wronged.
So Taipin Shen didn't take this seriously.
How would you know that the imperial concubine came here in person at night?
Are these meanings forcing her to implement this matter?
Although Shen Taipin knew that Yun Fenghuang was favored by her and did not dare to disobey, how could she be happy in her heart?
She understands rationally that even if Xie Wuzheng still had the possibility of guarding Sui'an for the rest of his life and not having children, with the demise of the Xie family, the pressure on the couple will increase.
For the others, Sui'an's status can still be suppressed.
After all, no one should be bold enough to force the eldest princess to agree to a concubine.
But the concubine is different.
However, emotionally, who doesn't want their own flesh and blood to live comfortably?
"Prince Tai, don't misunderstand." Yun Fenghuang shook his head and said, "Brother 21's oath to His Highness was well known back then, how long has it passed now, how can I, a child of the Xie family, be a person who backtracked on what he promised?"
Hearing what she said, Mrs. Shen's complexion immediately improved a lot, and she even smiled a little embarrassedly: "My lady said this, the son-in-law is sympathetic to Sui'an, and Sui'an should also be sympathetic to the son-in-law..."
Yun Fenghuang didn't continue this hypocritical politeness, and said directly: "The reason why I came to disturb the concubine tonight is because Brother 21 and His Highness are in danger now!"
Hearing this, Mrs. Shen was shocked!
Without waiting for her to ask, Yun Fenghuang immediately said that the loving mother, the Empress Dowager, is now sending people to follow Sui'an and his wife, and there is even serious suspicion of murdering Sui'an and framing Xie Wuzheng!
"It's just that the imperial concubine must also know that this person who has raised His Majesty, even though I am deeply loved by His Majesty, still dare not remind me of this." Yun Fenghuang sighed, "After all, twenty-one Brother, there are only a few evidences, not rock-solid evidence. As you know, you can’t do anything to the loving mother Empress Dowager, on the contrary, it will scare the snake and make her people be more cautious.”
Taipin Shen's expression changed, and she murmured: "This...this...how could it be like this?!"
"Speaking of which, my palace has dragged His Highness Sui'an and Brother Twenty-One!" Yun Fenghuang blamed himself, "You know, this palace has never been very fond of the loving mother, the Empress Dowager... Otherwise, no matter what His Royal Highness Sui'an is still Brother Twenty-one, what kind of grievances does he have with the loving mother Empress Dowager? Is it worthy of the loving mother Empress Dowager targeting them?"
Shen Taipin actually thought the same way, she felt aggrieved for her daughter.
But now there is nothing I can do, so I can only ask depressedly: "What countermeasures can the empress do? After all, the empress dowager is also from a noble family in the county. Even if the Yuan family is destroyed, after all, the centipede is dead but not stiff. Suian and the son-in-law are both young. , how can someone like her resist the scheming?"
The concubine still has another worry that she dare not say, that is Concubine Min Gui is always cruel and merciless.
In particular, Sui'an couldn't have children, and he and Xie Wuzheng have been married for many years without having a son and a half daughter as a fetter.
What if Yun Fenghuang allowed the queen mother to kill Sui'an in order to put the queen mother to death, and after obtaining the evidence, there will be a reversal. At that time, the queen mother will not care what happens, will her only daughter be gone? !
Afterwards, Xie Wuzheng will be able to marry a noble daughter and live a life like Xie Xiaoyu did after he lost his wife.
"The concubine don't need to worry, brother 21 sent an old servant here today to give gifts and pass along a message." Yun Fenghuang said slowly, "but he said a plan, which is to lure the snake out of the hole. This matter requires the concubine's help. "
He talked about the whole plan of sending the palace servants under the pretense of his own name to force Xie Wuzheng to raise an outside room and have children, so that the Empress Dowager Yuan could enter the pit. It's better for the concubine to arrange trustworthy people here. After all, there is only a thousand days to be a thief, and there is no reason to guard against a thief for a thousand days. It is already very wronged for His Highness to follow Brother Twenty-One in the Northland. If His Highness is still cautiously guarding against others How good is it to calculate? I wonder what the concubine thinks?"
Shen Taipin thought for a while when she heard the words, and said: "The empress and the son-in-law are very considerate, but when I selected a man for the son-in-law, I only thought of Yizi, but his appearance was a bit lacking. I don't know if it is suitable?"
At that time, she was just trying to test Chunjia, and she never thought of really filling in for her son-in-law. Where would there be a ready candidate in a while?
However, after listening to the concubine's words, she thought it was necessary to arrange for two reliable confidants to go there.
But as the late emperor's concubine, she has been a widow for many years, so how can she be good-looking among the trustworthy palace servants?
At this moment, I have to try to smooth things over, "If something is wrong, I have to look for it again."
"What did the concubine say? Even if I arrange people for Brother Twenty-One, Yizi must be the first." Yun Fenghuang said quickly, "Who would pick those enchanting ones? Brother Twenty-One is not a lustful person." only."
Mrs. Shen felt uncomfortable, what do you mean, you really plan to add someone to your cousin? What kind of person Tim has thought up!
Of course, she also knew that these were all human beings, so she swallowed sullenly, and said slowly: "So, I will send the person to the empress tomorrow?"
"But you don't have to be so eager." Yun Fenghuang came to her to ask for someone, but he just kept a hand to prevent Xie Wuzheng from cheating himself, and it was not really anxious about Xie Wuzheng's heirs, so he persuaded Shen at this moment Concubine Tai, "Besides, the weather in the Northern Land is different from that of the Imperial Capital. Concubine Tai also asked them to say a few words about the rules after they go. It's just that Concubine Tai had better not tell His Highness about this. Brother 21, beware of leaks during this process. When the time comes, the loving mother and the empress dowager will be reminded that if we don’t send troops, are we tossing in vain?"
"How about this, which two people you say first, let's arrange to go to this palace quietly, and then reward them in the name of this palace, what do you think?"
When the man is in her hands, she will have to train her well and prepare a case in front of Chunjia in advance.
In short, put an end to all possibilities of being cheated.
It's not the first time she has met an unreliable brother, at Xie Xiaoyu's level, one is really enough.
This is how she arranged the matter. It was already the end of the year, and within a few days, it was the New Year's Eve banquet.
This year's New Year's Eve banquet was generally very smooth and lively.
After all, with the great victory over Weihe, the monarchs and ministers look back on this year with good mood.
Just when the toasts were mixed in the middle, the children went out to play in the garden, and something went wrong: Ke He, the grandson of Duke Ning, happened to bump into Princess Zhaoqing who was making a snowman in the court with King Jin and several palace people. Surprised by his looks, he bumped his head against the pillar. The festive feast was almost ruined!
He was taken by the palace servants to tidy up the wound in a hurry, and Ding Guogong was so angry that he learned that he had passed by, so he hurriedly took his grandson to catch up with him to plead guilty while the emperor was going to change clothes in the side hall.
Chunjia didn't get angry when she understood what had happened, and said with a smile: "My eldest daughter is indeed a good-looking girl, and this child didn't behave rudely, it's just that everyone has a love of beauty, so why bother? "
So he ordered someone to reward Koch with a glass of fruit wine, and said that it was the case and let it go.
Because the Zhaoqing siblings were having fun at that time, and Zhaoqing had an outstanding appearance, and had long been accustomed to all kinds of admiring and admiring gazes, so he didn't notice Koch's gaffe at all.
Yun Fenghuang didn't even know about it.
It was also when the emperor rested in the Huanhua Palace that night, and when the two chatted after being warm, Chunjia said casually: "The child looks three or two years older than Zhaoqing, but he is considered a good-looking talent."
Yun Fenghuang immediately became alert: "How old is Zhaoqing, does your majesty want to promise her out?"
"Where did you think?" Chunjia laughed dumbfounded, and said, "It's just a casual talk. Both of them are still children."
"I really wish that the children would be young all the time, so that they could stay in front of me forever." Yun Fenghuang said quietly, "It's not like now, King Qin seemed to be babbling like yesterday, and in a blink of an eye, he moved The days ahead are numbered, alas..."
Chunjia never lived in the same palace with King Qin, so he didn't really care about this so-called separation, so he persuaded him at this moment: "It's just going to Qiongjiu Palace, it's not like I can't go back to see you."
"Can it be the same?" Yun Fenghuang asked back, "The Fuyang Palace where the loving empress dowager lives now is not very close to the palace city. Could it be convenient for your majesty to meet the loving empress dowager?"
Now the emperor was speechless.
In fact, when the loving mother and empress dowager lived in the Spring Palace, he didn't go there every day.
Even the frequency of meeting is about the same as it is now.
But as Yun Fenghuang said, they were in the same palace at that time, even if they didn't visit for a few days, they always felt like living in the same house.
As for now...
The plaque in the Fuyang Palace reminds the mother and son that they are not what they used to be.
So Chunjia was silent for a while, then sighed, and said quietly: "It's probably rare in life to be together, let's get together and reunite [Note]."
While speaking, the snow was falling densely outside, and the thin bamboo planted by the window made a slight snapping sound.
In the distance, there is the noise in the market, which is far away, vague and unreal, but it exudes a very strong New Year's atmosphere.
Warm and full of vitality.
The sixteenth year of Chunjia came quietly like this.
