Chapter VI Debt Collection
According to court rules, all princes who have reached the age of ten must move out of the harem and live in the Qiongjiu Palace of the previous dynasty.
The princess who has reached the age of ten can also move to live in the special Yaoyu Palace.
But the princess can only live in the Yaoyu Palace, it is not necessary, if she is favored, such as Zhaoqing, she still lives in the side hall of the Xuanqing Palace.
However, after all, the prince is different from the concubines, but there is no compromise.
Now more than twelve princes, including the foolish king of Chu, have all lived in Qiongjiu Palace.
The Twelve Princes will also officially move out of the Chongchang Palace after their birthdays this autumn.
The princes in front of Yun Fenghuang, except for the biological Prince Jin, have all moved out one after another in the past two years, so it is not as convenient for mother and child to meet each other.
At this moment, the Seventh Prince and Xie Fuwang came here, but she counted the day when Jin Xi came to pay his respects, and specially arranged for someone to tell him, just to let Xie Fuwang and Jin Xi have a good relationship.
In the past five years, Yun Fenghuang has often done this kind of thing, so even though Jin Xi is still young and in love, the two children are quite warm.
After seeing the ceremony, we quickly talked together.
Yun Fenghuang took advantage of the situation and pulled the Seventh Prince to ask warmly: "How are these two days? Is the waiter still considerate?"
"If you go back to your mother and concubine, everything is fine, I just miss your mother and concubine." The seventh prince is twelve years old this year and has begun to grow taller, so he looks very thin. The old man is Yun Fenghuang, looking at him now, one can imagine Chunjia's appearance at this age, and it should be seven or eight points similar.
Looking at Yun Fenghuang's eyes full of admiration, he said gently, "I went out of the palace a while ago and saw a strange fruit in the market outside. I originally wanted to buy some to give to my concubine, but I heard that the fruit is edible. Too much is not good..."
The mother and son chatted for a while, and Yun Fenghuang carefully asked the seventh prince about his diet, daily life and schoolwork. The child didn't need her to worry about it since he was a child, so after listening to it, it was enough to encourage him. By the way, he asked King Qin and the ninth prince: " How are your elder brother and your ninth younger brother these two days?"
Seeing that the Seventh Prince opened his mouth and looked a little embarrassed, her face darkened: "Your elder brother is still playing around like a fool?"
With Yun Fenghuang's methods, it is of course impossible for the children raised to be truly disobedient.
At least now, when he was still a young boy, no one could not take the request of the concubine mother seriously.
However, the same rice feeds all kinds of people. Since she had a sensible and considerate son like the Seventh Prince, she also had children like King Qin and the Ninth Prince who needed to be worried about.
For these two children, because King Qin was found to be unqualified very early on, Yun Fenghuang planned the route for him to be a filial son. In the past two years, because of her cover-up, he has recognized King Qin inside and out, not to mention other things, in terms of filial piety. blameless.
Although some people felt that King Qin's filial piety seemed to be directed towards the imperial concubine, but he was not so considerate towards the emperor's father, Emperor Chunjia.
But Chunjia dotes on Concubine Min, coupled with Yun Fenghuang's indirect guidance, so he feels that this is the expression of King Qin's magnanimity and innocence: if the kind of thought is deep and pretends to be a filial son, of course it is an idea To please the emperor. It is precisely because Qin Wang is filial piety from the bottom of his heart that he is closer to Concubine Min who brought him up with one hand.
In short, the emperor felt that although King Qin was arrogant, willful, domineering, and often bullied younger brothers who were not in Xuanqing Palace...but he was still a good boy.
But he's just a good boy.
Anyway, Chunjia never thought of passing the throne to him.
The eldest son of the emperor was out of the game early in the morning as the imperial concubine knew it well.
In this way, Yun Fenghuang didn't expect the King of Qin to do much for him, but just wanted to find him a concubine who would be useful in the future, and strive for a richer fiefdom, that's all. As for the past two years before Fan, Yun Fenghuang was almost satisfied with maintaining the personality set he had arranged for him and getting along well with the princess he had chosen for him.
However, the King of Qin didn't live up to his expectations. He said that his son and minister would listen to his mother and concubine in everything. He turned around and felt that he was taken away not long after he went to Qiongjiu Palace. Reported to the imperial court.
Yun Fenghuang was so angry that he had to deal with the aftermath for him, and he pulled Chunjia to act like a baby for a long time before he settled the matter for his son.
It was also at that time that King Qin was young, so she pushed two six five, saying that the child was ignorant and was seduced by traitors, and sent all the old people who served King Qin to death, and even beat the suspicious ones to death. Lived for a while.
However, half a year later, this kid reverted to his old ways, and this time he didn't dare to go to the gambling shop. He was only eleven years old, and he started shopping in brothels!
The people who simply served all knew the concubine's temperament, so they tried their best to stop her, so that the king of Qin couldn't really make it up.
The next day when the news was reported to Yun Fenghuang, Yun Fenghuang was simply...
If this is her own son, she can beat him to death!
After all, she didn't ask King Qin to be a real gentleman who can sit still. With the status of such a cheap son, beauty is nothing.
The key is how old is he? ? ?
If you just do things with prostitutes now, will you not be able to live in the future?
Moreover, the children he raised are well known in his heart, how can King Qin really miss women at such a young age? It's nothing more than going to the front, and after getting in touch with the outside world, I actually get along with a few dandies who only know how to eat, drink, and have fun. When I was young, I liked to pretend to be big, and I felt that those "confidantes" who were older than him all had people in the room. Yes, but my mother and concubine haven't made any arrangements yet, so I just have to do something to impress my "confidantes and friends".
Yun Fenghuang was so angry with this stupid son that he lost his temper.
Since she was a child, she has always led others by the nose. When has she been led astray by others like this?
In the end, the king of Qin was really good, any unworthy bastard kid could lead him to a wrong path!
In a rage, she summoned the King of Qin to her, held the whip to give him a long memory, and finally sued Chunjia, and sued all the dudes who had been in and out of the King of Qin. Fear, and even the heart of beating. Coupled with the weight of the beloved concubine and beloved son, he agreed very readily.
After all, no one dared to play tricks on King Qin openly.
But after these two things, King Qin has crossed the threshold of eating, drinking, whoring and gambling.
No, he is thirteen this year. Hearing the rumor that the concubine is already looking for a concubine for him, this kid is ready to move. He even entrusted his nurse to test the concubine's tone two days ago. Even this concubine is being selected. Did the people in the room arrange it first?
Yun Fenghuang suppressed his anger and called him to the front, only to give him a painful memory again.
If this kid is really hopeless, it's not that the imperial concubine can't be cruel and take advantage of this thorough master.
But as far as she observed, although King Qin didn't learn well, he still really admired her. Combined with the inquiries of Chen Jing and others, this child was mainly defeated in terms of ranking and qualifications: as the much-loved eldest son of the emperor, King Qin's literary and military talents are not very good.
In the past, he hadn't realized that he was a filial son, but he gradually became more comfortable in the past two years.
The mother and concubine let him be a well-known filial son because he can only be a filial son...
This kind of truth was a bit of a blow to the cautious and arrogant King Qin.
He really wants to work hard, but his younger brothers are not only harder than him, but also smarter than him. How can he compare?
So I just broke the can and smashed it!
Chen Jing couldn't bear to look at it, and privately persuaded Yun Fenghuang: "Your Majesty, it's better not to be angry with His Highness King Qin, His Highness is actually very bitter in his heart."
But Yun Fenghuang didn't agree with these words: "What is he suffering in his heart? Isn't it harder for me to bring him out after so much hard work?"
The eldest son of the emperor who was finally snatched and brought up turned out to be an embroidered grass bag, she is the one who should cry, okay?
What's more, "the government and the opposition have become more mediocre. Those masters who have passed five trials and killed six generals, and won the title of the gold list, can only study hard and will not be officials, don't they? These people still live conscientiously. He is a prince. , I can’t compare to my younger brothers. Bengong showed him the way of pure filial piety, so he can’t maintain it well. There will always be good words in the history books in the future? To humiliate himself... Where is he humiliating himself, he is simply humiliating my hard work!"
After losing her temper, considering the overall situation, she had to coax King Qin a bit.
The main reason is that if this son really did something bad, it would inevitably drag the entire Xuanqing Palace.
Furthermore, no matter how bad the King of Qin is, with the status of the eldest son of the emperor, he will be able to marry a high-ranking daughter after all, so that he can win over a family of help for the King of Jin in the future.
"If you go back to my concubine, my elder brother hasn't been out much recently, but I often play cuju with my ninth brother." The seventh prince looked at his concubine mother's expression unhappy at this moment, and said quickly, "Someone came in with a message to invite my elder brother to the banquet. I don't understand either."
"That's what he looks like." Yun Fenghuang snorted, "When you all went to the front, I told him repeatedly that he should look like a big brother, so that he can take care of you! But this bastard is a fool I am really afraid that you will learn from him badly!"
The seventh prince apologized and said with a smile: "Where did the concubine mother think? Eldest brother has always respected you the most, and he definitely won't do it. In the past...in the past, people outside were not good, and they always teased elder brother."
He also said, "Ninth brother has been paying more attention recently, and the master praised him two days ago."
The Nine Princes were Yun Fenghuang's first son in terms of title, after all, King Qin and the Seventh Prince were recorded in other people's names, and they were not Yun Fenghuang's heirs on the jade plate.
Therefore, Yun Fenghuang has always been very concerned about the Ninth Prince.
However, this child is also an unbelievable thing.
When he was in front of Yun Fenghuang before, he looked very obedient and his aptitude was not bad.
In the end, he went to Qiongjiu Palace, without the supervision of his mother and concubine, and the eldest brother Qin Wang was unreliable, so he immediately relaxed.
It only took more than half a year, and Yun Fenghuang heard his schoolwork go from bad to worse.
If it wasn't for the people from the Qing Dynasty who stopped him, she would have hung up the Ninth Prince and beat him up!
After being reprimanded many times, the Ninth Prince did not hesitate to speak the truth to the imperial concubine, crying: "Usually, when the son is young, the mother and concubine can do whatever they are called, and have no idea. But now that the son has grown up, he can I understand some things. Dare to ask mother and concubine, how can the minister, how can he still covet that seat? In this case, no matter whether he is wise or foolish, he is just a vassal king. Even if the minister does not know a word, he will King! Why should you suffer yourself?"
This guy is a salty fish, and he feels that he has no chance of being a prince anyway, and then, as the emperor's own son, his mother and concubine are still favored concubines, and there is no suspense about being crowned king.
That……
Effort is also a vassal, not hard work is also a vassal, why make things difficult for yourself?
Yun Fenghuang was so angry that he patiently explained to him that feudal lords are also divided into ranks. For example, can the king of Zhou be the same as the remote feudal lords that no one remembers?
But the Ninth Prince heard the words and immediately looked at her expectantly: "Mother Concubine, although I'm not up to date and disappointed you, but who doesn't know that Emperor Father listens to Mother Concubine the most? You are my concubine mother and concubine , can you still watch your son suffer and be wronged?"
"Why can't I do it?" Yun Fenghuang laughed angrily at that time, "Not only can I watch you suffer, but if you dare not study hard, I will also persuade your father , I will seal you to a place as poor and remote as you want!"
"Mother concubine has a knife mouth and a bean curd heart, she will definitely not." Yun Fenghuang felt that what he said was the truth, this is not her own son, she has no shortage of sons in front of her, if she is disobedient, she still expects her to protect her?
She is not one to be reluctant to punish children.
But maybe it was set up by her loving mother so well that the Ninth Prince didn't believe it at all, and said with a smile, "That's all what the concubine mother said now, in the future, if the son and minister have not complained, you may feel distressed first! "
He is so confident that he feels that Yun Fenghuang must be reluctant to part with him, and he must not bear to let him suffer and be wronged... In short, he has no chance to be a prince, and he has a powerful mother and concubine as his backer. The Ninth Prince believes that it is his destiny to win. Well, hard work is a fool!
Yun Fenghuang: "........."
She turned around and arranged for someone to tell the Ninth Prince that the imperial concubine was not her biological mother.
Originally, I thought that after the child knew the truth, he would definitely feel complicated, and even feel alienated from Xuanqing Palace, but he should continue to work hard, after all, how could a foster mother be as reliable as a real mother... She had already figured it out Then how to coax people back.
However, the Ninth Prince was depressed for two days, and then he reverted to his old ways.
Yun Fenghuang really couldn't figure out how he could be so irresponsible to himself, so he sent someone to talk to him, and learned that the Ninth Prince's thoughts were: "For so many years, this prince has always thought that the concubine mother is his own mother. Think carefully, concubine mother She really treats the prince as her own... Even if the prince is not her own, after so many years of raising the prince, it is almost enough. After all, she is reluctant to keep a dog for so long. Will the mother concubine bear the heart of the prince being wronged in the future? impossible."
So, he is confident again!
Yun Fenghuang: "........."
I always feel that I tossed the elders too much when I was a child, and now the children are all debt collectors.
Now listening to the Seventh Prince's various reports, he should be boasting, but he sighed in his heart, thinking to himself: "King Qin and Xiao Jiu, it seems that they will be summoned to reprimand them tomorrow or the next day, otherwise they will not be able to live. There will be trouble again in two days!"
Now that she has summed up her experience, she beats her two sons on the eve of their upcoming troubles, lest they relax and cause her all kinds of troubles.
