Chapter Thirteen Monastic Practice
Yi Xingen brought the Seventh Princess over here a long time ago.
When Yun Fenghuang asked, the mother and daughter had been waiting outside the hall for a long time with their hairpins off.
Just after being announced, Yi Xingen knelt down in tears and couldn't afford it: "Your Majesty, it's my concubine who teaches her daughter..."
"What are you doing like this?" Yun Fenghuang raised his eyebrows, and said in a low voice, "The Seventh Queen's words are not nonsense. Is it possible that I am such a big person, and I still care about children?"
In fact, the Seventh Princess was raised by Yi Xingen since she was a child, and she was very in awe of Concubine Min.
At that time, she was studying at a girls' school, she was also young, and she had known for a long time that the eldest sister Zhaoqing, who was the most favored by her father in the palace, was actually from the same mother as her, but she always defended the nine emperors whose biological mother was only an ordinary concubine so far, and felt extremely wronged , lost his mouth for a moment.
After the impulse passed, I regretted it.
Especially when Yi Xingen arrived upon hearing the news, he became furious when he knew what had happened, and ordered her to come to plead guilty with him, and said that the consequences of unsuccessful pleading were extremely serious, which made the seventh princess even more panicked. Seeing Yun Fenghuang's amiable expression at this moment, he didn't seem to be going into a rage, so he secretly breathed a sigh of relief, but seeing his mother and concubine hearing the words, she became more and more frightened, almost prostrate on the ground, and said in a sad voice: "I don't dare, I... I just... I just feel sorry for my mother's love over the years!"
"Okay, let's get up." Yun Fenghuang said without any anger on his face, "The seventh emperor is still here, you have been the lord of the first palace for many years anyway, why is this so? There is no need to frighten the emperor gone."
Yi Xingen has served her as a palace servant since entering the palace, and is considered to be someone who knows Concubine Min quite well. Hearing this, her heart became more and more agitated, but she dared not refuse. I mean, I sat down carefully, feeling like I was sitting on pins and needles.
Yun Fenghuang seemed to be fine, and he still had the leisure to chat with her about daily life. After chatting like this for a while, Yi Xingen's tension did not ease at all, but the ignorant Seventh Prince relaxed.
He even picked out his favorite preserved fruit from the fruit plate next to him and stuffed it quietly into his mouth.
While eating happily, she suddenly noticed that the concubine's eyes were on her. The Seventh Imperial Girl was startled, holding half a piece of dried plum in her hand, she couldn't let it go, she was so anxious that she almost shed tears. However, Yun Fenghuang didn't mean to blame, but said with a smile: "Like this dried plum? No wonder, this is the small kitchen here in this palace. It is specially made for your elder sister Zhaoqing. It is the second emperor and the ninth emperor. It’s also rare to eat.”
The Seventh Princess didn't dare to answer, she subconsciously went to look at Yi Xingen.
However, Yi Xingen didn't dare to give her daughter any hints in front of the imperial concubine, instead she turned her face away.
"...I like it when you return to your mother and concubine." The Seventh Prince had no choice but to hesitate for a while, and said in a low voice.
Yun Fenghuang smiled and waved to her.
The seventh princess looked at Yi Xingen again, and this time Yi Xingen urged her in a low voice: "It's your blessing that the empress let you go, why delay?"
So she bravely walked over, and when she saw the noble concubine stretching out her hand towards her, she subconsciously shivered.
However, the expected beating did not appear, Yun Fenghuang just touched her cheek gently, then turned to Yi Xingen and sighed: "Actually, if the child doesn't talk about it, Zhaoqing should be able to react in two years. After all, there are many princesses in this palace, only the two sisters have 70% to 80% similarities in eyebrows and eyes. If you go out and say that you are not sisters with the same father and mother, who will believe it?"
Yi Xingen apologized and said with a smile: "Although the appearance is similar, but Zhaoqing is raised in front of the empress, how can the bearing of the Seventh Emperor's daughter be compared?"
In fact, two years ago, someone discovered that Princess Zhaoqing and the Seventh Emperor's daughter looked very similar, but those who knew the truth were afraid to talk too much because of the imperial concubine; those who didn't know, only thought that half-sisters were also real sisters, and there was nothing strange about the similarity of.
It's just that the other princesses just followed their biological mothers.
After all, both Yunfenghuang and Yi Xingen are quite beauties, and they are the bright and gorgeous types that stand out from the crowd. Although their appearances are not the same, they have similarities in beauty and charm.
Zhaoqing's face is exquisite and gorgeous, because she is the favored eldest daughter of the emperor, she broke the rules and made her a princess in advance, she is as proud as a phoenix... Those who don't know her background have never suspected that she is the real concubine.
At this moment, Yi Xingen's words are of course intended to flatter Yun Fenghuang, but they are not completely nonsense.
No matter how similar the appearance of the two imperial daughters from the same mother was, following Yi Xingen, the seventh imperial daughter who had been taught not to be in the limelight and not to have conflicts with her siblings, of course could not have Zhaoqing's unscrupulous, dazzling brilliance like the scorching sun.
"The child is still young, and when he grows up, he will naturally look more like the eldest sister." Yun Fenghuang rubbed the face of the seventh emperor, smiled, and asked abruptly, "By the way, how do you know about your imperial sister's life experience?" ?”
Since the Seventh Princess entered the palace, she has repeatedly experienced relief, tension, relief, and tension... She didn't have many palaces at her age, so she subconsciously said: "I heard what my uncle's cousin said..."
Yi Xingen grasped her sleeves subconsciously, but she breathed a sigh of relief.
She hurried over, mainly because she wanted to explain to the imperial concubine that Zhaoqing's life experience was not something she let slip.
In fact, with her intelligence and her fear of noble concubines, she didn't even dare to make a premise with the seventh emperor.
Not to mention that Zhaoqing was brought up by the noble concubine, even if he knew his background, he would definitely get closer to the noble concubine in a short time. Even if Zhaoqing is the son of the tenth prince, whoever is the biological mother will favor whoever is, Zhaoqing is now Her own future is in the hands of the imperial concubine, why is Yi Xingen telling her young daughter this?
Now that the noble concubine is interrogating herself, and the seventh princess has truthfully said that it was Du Langu's fault, then...
Whatever Yun Fenghuang did to deal with Du Langu, she should be safe anyway... right?
"Why did your cousin tell you this?" Yun Fenghuang didn't look at Yi Xingen, and continued to ask the seventh princess with a smile, "Could it be that you told her that you like your elder sister?"
The Seventh Emperor's daughter was a little uncertain whether there was a problem with her answer, and she didn't know what the imperial concubine meant when she asked this question.
Asking the concubine for help again to no avail, she struggled for a while, thinking that the concubine was so afraid of the words of the concubine, she had better not lie, so she said honestly: "If you go back to the concubine, it is... it was my cousin who talked with Wei before. Miss Jia had a dispute and wanted Erchen to help her seek justice, but Erchen listened to his mother and concubine and did not dare to go. The cousin was very angry and said that it was also from the mother and concubine. So timid? Erchen was curious, and after questioning, the cousin said that she had heard from her uncle and aunt that Elder Sister Zhaoqing was actually born to her mother and concubine, and she was only adopted by her mother and concubine."
Yun Fenghuang's smile remained unchanged, and he said: "You are a good boy, you are right to listen to your mother and concubine. Your cousin had a dispute with Miss Wei's family. If you can't argue, it's her business. How can I ask you, a younger sister, to take care of it?" She is in the early stage? Isn't this using you as a weapon? As for your elder sister, she is the eldest daughter of your father after all, so it is only natural that she is favored, right?"
The seventh princess nodded hesitantly.
Seeing this, the noble concubine asked, "But you feel that your eldest sister is protecting your ninth younger sister, and you feel uncomfortable?"
"..." The Seventh Princess peeped at Yi Xingen again, but the concubine mother sat upright, not daring to give her the slightest hint of winks, so she could only continue to play on her own, "Back to the imperial concubine If so, the son-in-law already knew he was wrong."
"I have already told about this matter to your elder sister. Although your ninth younger sister is younger than you, it is indeed her fault. How can you wrong me just because your ninth younger sister is younger?" Yun Feng Huang said softly, "Don't worry, when you turn around, Concubine Your Majesty, I will let someone move the two pots of peonies into your house... Next time if she is not sensible anymore, you can come and tell Concubine Mother, Concubine Mother will make decisions for you." ,ah?"
The Seventh Prince was surprised and delighted at the same time. She heard her biological mother said that she seemed to be very serious. Whether the mother and daughter could survive was a problem, so she was frightened. Of course, she couldn't care about the two pots of peonies.
But now seeing the noble concubine's gentle attitude and kind words, and even taking the initiative to give her two pots of peonies, I suddenly feel that the concubine mother is too timid.
Where is this noble mother and concubine as scary as the mother and concubine are afraid of?
She is as gentle and considerate as she said to Princess Zhaoqing and the Ninth Emperor! She is the best mother and concubine!
"My son, thank you, Concubine, Your Majesty!" The seventh imperial daughter couldn't help saying loudly, "Concubine, Concubine, you are so kind!"
Yun Fenghuang smiled and took a piece of pastry to her: "Hey, try this, it's also your elder sister Zhaoqing's favorite, it's not available anywhere else."
Talking to the Seventh Princess for a while like this, the noble concubine has many heirs, such as Qin Wang Zhaoqing, who is not a good tempered person, she can be coaxed into submission. Let go of your defenses, answer whatever you ask, and even tell the truth about some little secrets about getting along with Yi Xingen's mother and daughter.
Yun Fenghuang had almost heard it, so he found an excuse to arrange for her to go out, and looked at Yi Xingen again.
Yi Xingen immediately got up from her seat, and prostrated herself on the ground again: "My concubine..."
"It's over, I don't blame you for this matter, so you don't have to pretend to be so panicky." The imperial concubine pinched her forehead, her expression cooled down, she completely lost her amiability in front of the Seventh Queen, and ordered softly, "If you want to blame, you can only blame your pair." Brother and sister-in-law... Du Langu is in the emperor's heart, and I don't want to embarrass His Majesty. As for your sister-in-law and nieces, I will not do anything heavy because of your face, and let them go to Shanyuan Temple Practice for a few days, and tell the outside world to pray for the ancestors."
How dare Yi Xingen object?
Even though she suspected that the noble concubine's revenge would not be so simple, she was eager to thank her at this moment: "Thank you for your kindness!"
"But Du Langu can't be unattended in front of him." Sure enough, Yun Fenghuang said, "Forget it, I will give him some young and beautiful palace maids, even if they don't appear on the stage, they can serve him at least."
She acted quickly and reported the matter to Chunjia on the same day.
Chunjia had known about this for a long time, and knew very well that King Qin and Zhaoqing were definitely no match for the imperial concubine, so he didn't go to the harem immediately.
Now that it was the daughter of Du Langu who leaked the secret, she was a little surprised: "Du Qing looks like he is not such a person who indulges his wife and daughter with wanton tongue."
"It's probably because he is obsessed with public affairs and has no time to take care of it." Yun Fenghuang said lightly, "After all, Du Langu's background is not considered noble, his wife married before His Majesty favored him, so her background is naturally low...Narrow vision, It's not surprising that I like to chew my tongue."
She didn't play tricks with Chunjia, and put it forward straightforwardly, "Therefore, I plan to arrange for their mother and daughter to go to the Taoist temple to practice for a few days, so as to cleanse their minds, so as not to cause trouble to the upper body again. As for Du Langu, the concubine What does Your Majesty think about preparing a few palace maids to serve on behalf of his wife?"
The emperor actually felt that this matter was nothing more than a child's ignorance, but considering that the imperial concubine seemed calm at the moment, he must be unhappy.
If she objected, then maybe the imperial concubine would attack herself.
It would be better for Du Langu's house to be restless...
It is the duty of a courtier to share the worries of the emperor.
So the emperor agreed after a little thought, and kindly reminded the noble concubine: "The servant girl should be bestowed in my name."
After all, the middle palace is still there, and the imperial concubine rashly bestowing someone to a courtier who is not relatives or relatives will inevitably provoke discussions.
