Chapter Ten Nine Emperors
It was rare for King Jin to be called over by his mother and leave without being beaten. When he left, there was a smile on his lips.
The Qing people and other attendants were annoyed and funny when they saw it, so they persuaded Yun Fenghuang: "Your Majesty used to worry that His Highness would be too detached, which would be bad for the future. Looking at it now, our Highness has a clear heart! In this case In the future, the empress should stop beating His Highness all the time."
"He is a smart kid beyond my expectations." The noble concubine listened, smiled, and said, "It's not the kind who can only study and be obedient... But, this beating, can't stop in the future ah."
Seeing the Qing people and what else they wanted to say, she said in a low voice, "When I was a child, didn't my mother always remind me? You heard it just now, this child is only so old, and he knows how to trip up his brother... Yes , Those children were not born by me, and I don't want them to be too big-hearted to compete with King Jin, but you have to know that although I knew how to fight when I was very young, at that time, fight It’s just that parents dote on them, brothers and sisters value them... This is the instinct of all children. It’s just that most children can only express it by crying, but they don’t know how to show their hearts like Ben Gong.”
"Fifteen... Wisdom is wisdom, but it's a little too deep."
"Bengong is worried that he will get convenience here, and he will become more and more fond of playing tricks in the future, thus slackening his self-improvement."
"Your Majesty, I think Your Highness won't do it." The Qing people persuaded, "After all, please forgive me for your blunt words: Your Majesty grew up with the Xie family, and the Xie family said that the lintel is not high after all. Your Highness, however, grew up with the royal family. So the Empress and His Highness care about it." Yes, how can it be the same?"
Yun Fenghuang said: "My family background is not high, and I don't really know how to cultivate a qualified heir. But I have been with you for many years, and I still know your Majesty well. Your Majesty has always appreciated intelligence. A person of the highest rank doesn't care about concubines or subordinates having all kinds of thoughts and tricks... But, people who only have thoughts and tricks may not be noticed by His Majesty."
She said indifferently, "The master who can't stand up at the critical moment, no matter how proficient in the heretics, His Majesty will not bother to pay attention."
Relying on intrigue and trickery may kill possible competitors in advance. The problem is that the battle for the crown prince does not mean that after sitting in that seat, one can sit back and relax.
In one day, Chunjia has to guard against his brother's comeback; when Chunjia is gone, he has to fight wits and courage with the front, court and harem...
For those with insufficient abilities, becoming a prince may not be a blessing.
Yun Fenghuang was worried that King Jin would reap the benefits of using too many private means, so he developed a disposition that likes to calculate everything.
This is definitely not Chunjia's favorite candidate for the crown prince.
Although the emperor himself is also very deep in the city, as I said before, any emperor who kills his father and brother, and he becomes a father, he also hopes that his children will be friendly and harmonious.
Chunjia himself had been keeping a low profile for eight years before he got the chance to be a pro-government. Along the way, he used countless dirty tricks, but he still hoped that his child would win in a dignified way, showing the magnanimity and integrity that a prince of a great country should have. Ability, so that both the front and the harem are convinced.
And he is also qualified to ask for this: when he ascended the throne, the imperial power declined, and he was named the Son of Heaven, but in fact his life was not in his own hands.
Nowadays, even if the treatment of the princes is somewhat uneven because of their birth, at the worst, they can still have the treatment that a prince should have. It is not something that mere foreign ministers can wantonly threaten.
In this case, I only dare to hide behind the scenes and do small tricks...
How can Chunjia like it?
Of course, these are actually said to the servants, and to King Jin in the future.
In Yun Fenghuang's heart, there is another secret thought that he will never tell anyone, that is: "This brat has such an idea at such a young age, and even deceived me for a long time. If you start now He, sure of him, after he ascends the throne, even if I become the queen mother, how much room will I have to talk?!"
She knew too well the temperament of a child like Prince Jin.
Don't look like it's his own, but it's not the kind of master who will be filial to you just because you are his own mother and you raise him with care!
If you don't suppress it from now on, the mother and son will have different opinions in the future, and King Jin may not be able to turn against Yun Fenghuang!
...Because Yun Fenghuang himself is such a child.
The main reason why she didn't have any conflict with Jiang was that Jiang also understood her, so when the situation was not good, she took the initiative to back down, and didn't turn the mother-daughter relationship to the point of turning their faces.
After all, when Yun Fenghuang was at home, there was no conflict between him and the Jiang family. Later, she entered the palace and became a concubine, and the status of mother and daughter was very different. Jiang Shi weighed the pros and cons, so naturally he would not easily fall out with this daughter.
But King Jin is not.
As a prince, when he was born, his biological mother had a stable position and extraordinary skills.
The only setback in this little boy's life is Yun Fenghuang's strict discipline, and it can be said that there is nothing unsatisfactory.
In such an environment, it is easy to develop a pampered temperament, but he is still a master who has ideas, can bear, and is good at disguising. It's fish, he will have a conflict with Yun Fenghuang in the future, can he be expected to give in honestly?
Anyway, Yun Fenghuang himself would not be so naive.
She has thought about it now, since when she was a daughter, she always thought of herself more from the beginning to the end, she was more pampered, and less considerate of her parents and relatives... Then don't expect King Jin to be filial How satisfying.
It was already an unexpected joy to be able to share the admiration of the Seventh Prince.
So Yun Fenghuang then instructed Chen Jing: "Watch the two of you at 15 o'clock, and I will know every move he makes from now on!"
I really went astray before, and told this little brat that it was dark under the lights!
The Ninth Prince was forced to neglect his studies!
Did she just say that the Ninth Prince was sensible and obedient since he was a child, why did he not listen to his persuasion? In addition to King Jin's cunning, there is another possibility that the Ninth Prince thought it was Yun Fenghuang's hint, so he didn't dare to work hard!
Thinking of this, Yun Fenghuang frowned slightly, and said in a deep thought: "Tomorrow, let Xiao Jiu come alone, I will have a talk with him."
Just as he was talking, the palace servants from outside came to report, saying that it was the Ninth Emperor's daughter who asked to see her.
"Let her come in." Yun Fenghuang listened, softened his expression, and said.
A moment later, a girl in colorful clothes walked briskly to the hall to salute: "Mother and concubine, all blessings."
"Get up." Yun Fenghuang stretched out his hand to help, and said kindly, "Where did you go? Look at this sweat, hurry up and let Hongca wipe it off for you."
The Nine Emperors were born by concubines, and they were listed under her name according to the rules, and they were also raised by her single-handedly.
It's just that when the Ninth Princess was born, Yun Fenghuang no longer needed to rely on heirs to consolidate her position, and she had her own Prince Jin, so she didn't care much about the Ninth Princess, but sent the maids to take care of her, and asked occasionally.
Of course, the palace people know her methods well, and they dare not neglect her.
Now the child is seven years old, and has been in the women's school for several years. According to the suggestion from the women's school, he is not doing very well... The main reason is that he is not focused on his studies.
Of course, although the princess is also the heir of the emperor, her requirements are not as high as those of the prince.
If the prince's academic performance is too poor, the father will have to scold him for being unlearned and incompetent, and despise the son for being a bastard.
But daughter...
Of course it would be best if he could have both talent and appearance, but Chunjia wouldn't mind if he didn't do well in his studies.
At most it doesn't matter that much.
The Ninth Emperor's daughter was not very close to Chunjia and Yunfenghuang, and she rarely came to pay her respects in normal times. But because Yun Fenghuang has always shown the image of a loving mother to the children other than King Jin, she is not afraid of the noble concubine, so she stands obediently at this moment, letting Hong'e help wipe the sweat, and said: "My son just went I played hide-and-seek with the third elder sister and the others in the garden, and when I saw that the peonies were blooming well, I asked someone to bring two pots over for my concubine to enjoy, and now they are outside, do you want to see the concubine?"
Yun Fenghuang didn't really care much about these things, and as a noble concubine who suppressed the queen, why should good things come into the palace and not send them to her first?
But since it was her daughter's kindness, she didn't refuse, she smiled and praised a few words, then nodded happily.
So the servants really brought in two pots of peonies. In fact, the types of peonies were quite different from the potted peonies that were offered before, otherwise they would not have been placed in the imperial garden for everyone to enjoy, but she still pretended I like it very much, and I highly praised Ninth Emperor Girl for her understanding and thoughtfulness.
The Ninth Emperor smiled and said a few words of humility beside her, and quickly found an excuse to leave.
Yun Fenghuang watched her leave, quickly withdrew his smile, and said: "Go and find out what happened in the imperial garden today? In the past, when this child came in and out, he didn't say that he brought something to the palace, don't just do something. Are you guilty?"
It really made her expect it, Chen Jing went to inquire about it for a while, and came back dumbfounded: "It's not a big deal, it's just that the two princesses had a conflict...Today, the third prince and the nine princes are playing in the imperial garden. Well, the Seventh Princess is also there. The Ninth Princess and the Seventh Princess both took a fancy to the two pots of peonies that were just presented to the empress, and wanted to ask someone to move them to their own yard. In a panic, the princess said that this peony was brought to you, so now, the Seventh Queen and the others are afraid to fight?"
"This child!" Yun Fenghuang was quite speechless, "It's just two pots of flowers, and it's worth worrying about? Besides, she wanted to come here, but she put it here in this palace, and didn't go to her own yard!"
So she asked someone to send two pots of peonies to the Ninth Emperor's daughter. As for the Seventh Emperor's daughter... the little awkwardness between the children, the one who suffers is not the child in front of her, so she doesn't care about it.
However, Yun Fenghuang felt that this matter would be over here, but who would have guessed that the next day, there would be another disturbance in the girls' school...
