Chapter 5 Jinxi
Yun Fenghuang's thoughts turned around, and he said tentatively: "The empress dowager always loves and protects the king of Yi. Even if she loved the concubine Yi at the beginning, in the final analysis, she still loves the house. Ordinarily, the knees of the king of Yi have been empty all these years. You should have urged The matter of adding people to King Yi is the matter, but why wait until His Majesty personally intervenes? Not to mention, His Majesty has proposed it, and you still object... Could it be that...it is useless to add people to the emptiness under the knees of King Yi and his wife?"
She had just urged Princess Yi to throw the heirless pot at King Yi, but it turned out to be a mistake?
"That's right or wrong." The Empress Dowager looked at her with a delicate expression, and said slowly, "Anyway, you have time to persuade the emperor, so don't worry about their brothers."
After a pause, he continued, "If Gongxiang sent it back then, the house would be clean."
"..." Yun Fenghuang pursed her lips. Although she was bold, this kind of private affairs of the royal elders was still the private affairs of the royal male elders. His Majesty said."
But it immediately occurred to her that the Prince Regent and Xiaozong were brothers, and their biological father, Shenzong, also had poor heirs...
In this way, it is very likely that there is something wrong with Shenzong's own bloodline.
Three generations of father and son are not suitable for offspring.
"Don't spread this matter." The Empress Dowager sighed, "The first emperor of Shenzong... was discussed in private when he was alive, saying that he killed too much and hurt the peace of heaven."
Seeing Yun Fenghuang's response, his complexion softened a lot, and he said slowly, "You have always had an idea, so let's find a way to make things right. Don't let people think about such a long time ago."
"yes."
The Empress Dowager thought for a while, and then said: "I believe it is a matter of marrying far away. I heard that you have been busy these days, but you don't know how you are preparing?"
There is nothing to hide, Yun Fenghuang said truthfully: "I have never done this kind of thing before, so I just listened to the advice of the Ministry of Rites and made some repairs."
"I heard that Xincheng's dowry was probably given by the Yin family and the emperor?" The Empress Dowager looked at her and suddenly asked, "How many people do you need from the Ai family?"
Yun Fenghuang was stunned for a moment, his thoughts changed, and he said: "The people in front of the Empress Dowager must be extremely outstanding. I thought about it in the past, but I didn't dare to say it. It's just that Xincheng is young, so I don't know if he is qualified or not." Tell them to wait on you?"
"Even though Weihe is in decline, it is still a big country that once rivaled the imperial court." The Empress Dowager said slowly, "What is the majestic Dayan family not qualified for? Don't think too much about it. These people have little to do with the Ji family, but they are. The Ai family grew up in front of them. Of course the Ai family would be entrusted to Ling Zi and the others, but now they are gone. The Ai family is old, and the old people in front of them are just fine. These few are still young, and their abilities are buried like this. It's a pity. The Ai family has already told them that if they are sent to someone else, that person will be their serious master in the future. As for the Ai family, it has nothing to do with them."
"The empress dowager is serious. You are sure to live a long life, and the future will be long." This request was so abrupt that Yun Fenghuang was not sure whether he should agree or not.
If you agree, you know, how can the empress dowager's words be accurate? After all, the servants brought up by the famous families over the years still have special skills. These are the backbone of the family's sons, so is it true that they are loyal?
Even if the Empress Dowager sincerely wants them to defect to others, can they not think of the Empress Dowager in their hearts?
If he does not agree, Yun Fenghuang is not afraid of offending the Empress Dowager...
The point is, she quite covets the backbone brought up by such a famous family.
After all, not to mention anything else, let's just say that the Empress Dowager is the head of the three generations of phoenix lords of the Ji family, and the people who came out before her, don't they have any experience on how to assist the master to become a proper queen?
This is exactly what Xie Kuo, who is not noble enough and his family background is not deep enough, urgently needs.
Even in the past two years, Yun Fenghuang has spent a lot of effort in training her in every possible way, but she has never been a queen herself so far, and she is mostly just talking on paper.
In contrast, the people in front of the Empress Dowager are really coveted.
In the end, Yun Fenghuang didn't dare to make a decision on the spot, so he prevaricated a few words, and after returning to Huanhua Palace, he summoned his confidants to discuss: "Do you think these people are worth the risk?"
The Qing people took the lead in objecting: "The Yin family is a noble family, and His Majesty has always been considerate. Princess Xincheng has taught by her mother's words and deeds in the past two years, which is no longer comparable to what she used to do! Didn't His Majesty approve of it when she saw it earlier, saying that she would definitely not fall into the imperial court?" If this is the case, why bother? At that time, if you don’t believe in the princess, you will spend all your energy trying to suppress them!”
Chen Jing was a little moved, and said: "My aunt is very worried, but the empress dowager has nothing to hope for now, and it is human nature to want to find a way out for the talented and learned people under her command. Even if she has small thoughts, Most likely he also wants to have more contact with our empress? If so, accepting those people may become Princess Xincheng's arm. At that time, wouldn't it be a good thing for the empress and His Royal Highness King Jin?"
The more stable Xie Kuo's position in Weihe and the more he has the right to speak, the more he can feed back Yunfenghuang's mother and son.
"You're only thinking of good things." The Qing people rolled his eyes at him and said, "But have you forgotten the second and third princes? These two are the great-grandsons of the empress dowager!"
So, how can the Empress Dowager say that she is completely hopeless now?
If the crown prince finally falls into the hands of the second prince or the third prince, the empress dowager should breathe a sigh of relief, right?
"Concubine Cui Shu has made her attitude clear a long time ago. Not only does she only want the second prince to be a vassal king, she is determined not to interfere with the proposal of the crown prince, and when the second prince becomes a vassal, there is a high probability that she will ask to go to the vassal state together as a concubine. "Chen Jing said, "As for the third prince, the city is deep, but please think about it, even though the empress loves him, how could she agree with him to compete for the crown prince? In the past, he could still use the empress' trust in him to secretly plot The tenth prince and the twelfth prince, so that the queen will insist on him. But five years ago, His Majesty personally picked up the tenth prince and the twelve prince to raise him, and the third prince can't do anything since then, but where is the chance?"
Then he said, "My aunt probably doesn't know that the queen is already looking for candidates for the third prince's concubine, and all the girls she picks are girls from ordinary officials and eunuchs, and they don't choose any of them. It can be seen that in the queen's heart, there has never been a concubine." I thought about how to count on the future of the third prince. The empress dowager is a smart person, so I don't know why. It is already a blessing for the second prince and the third prince to grow up peacefully. If you think about other things, you are thinking too much. "
The Qing people frowned and said, "It's easy for you to think about it! Don't even think about it, how many things have been done after the destruction of the Ji family? When the Ji family was destroyed, who didn't think that this family would not be able to make troubles in the future? The result? If Princess Xincheng’s side is in a mess, we can take the risk. But now it’s just the icing on the cake, so why bother the empress to bear the trouble of being tied down?”
The two sides could not settle down, and in the end they had to let Yun Fenghuang decide.
But Yun Fenghuang himself was not sure this time, he thought for a long time, and finally said: "Let Ben Gong think about it for a few days, anyway, he didn't promise to give an answer immediately. Besides, Chen Jing also took the opportunity to check the details of those people." Even if the people in front of the empress dowager are not so easy to check, at least there is an approximate number. Otherwise, at this moment, I don't even know who they are."
Putting this matter on hold for now, she thought about today's day, "Jinxi will be here soon, right? Can the small kitchen make her favorite pastries?"
Ever since Princess Jinxi and Xie Fu forgot their engagement, Yun Fenghuang's attitude towards the emperor's nephew suddenly changed drastically.
Before this girl studied in the Imperial Women's School for many days, the imperial concubine never paid attention to her.
But after the marriage agreement, the imperial concubine would take people to her palace to get close to her every now and then, and repeatedly told Princess Zhaoqing to take care of her cousin. It can be said that she treated her as her own. My daughter is fine.
At that time, Princess Jinxi was still young, so she quickly became intimate with Yun Fenghuang.
Today she stepped into the palace excitedly, saluted, and before Yun Fenghuang could cry out with a smile, she trotted up to the imperial concubine, took out a purse as if offering a treasure, and said with a smile: "Your Majesty, look, this is Do you think my homework for the past two days is good or not?"
"Does it need to be said about our Jinxi's craftsmanship?" Yun Fenghuang habitually praised before seeing clearly. After all, she is a niece and daughter-in-law. In her opinion, she is very virtuous if she is willing to do some sewing. , as for the standard?
What does it matter, willing to do is the best!
Whoever refutes Yun Fenghuang will tear him up.
At this moment, if you look closely, you can pick out at least seventeen or eight faults in an instant, and you can see that the main problem is lack of practice. male heir.
But it seems that he is also a body with three disasters and eight disasters, and he is not as strong as Jinxi.
So Jian Tian raised her carefully...
Yun Fenghuang listened to the private discussion of the palace people, saying that even so, he didn't know if the child could be raised.
How dare he relax his attention to Jin Xi? Jin Xi was not allowed to do anything at all, but she was allowed to take good care of her.
It would be strange if Jinxi's craftsmanship was good.
"You all come over and have a look, is our Jinxi purse good?" At this moment, Yun Fenghuang praised the purse without changing his face, and after using half of the complimenting words he knew in his life, he greeted the left and right. "Bengong said earlier that Jinxi is a very smart and beautiful child at first glance. Sure enough, how big is this? This purse is full of aura!"
The left and right really couldn't see that such a shoddy thing had anything to do with aura, but it was fine, the imperial concubine set the tone, just follow along.
The master and servant immediately said that the purse said that there is nothing in the sky and nothing on the earth. Even though Princess Jinxi was used to hearing praises in Xuanqing Palace, she couldn't help but blushed with embarrassment and said: "I only learned it, how can it be so good... Sister Zhaoqing and second cousin did well."
Yun Fenghuang smiled and said: "You all do well, you are a noble person, and you are naturally talented."
Don't mention it, the three of you sisters are all born in gold and jade, and no one is good.
But this Palace is not good at dismantling you, so you are good!
While chatting lively, someone from the palace came to report that Xie Fu forgot to join hands with the Seventh Prince to come over to say hello, is it convenient?
