Chapter 16 Secret Discussion Between Brothers and Sisters
When Yi Xingen was terrified, in the Huanhua Hall, Yun Fenghuang took a sip of tea and told Dan'e in a slow voice: "If His Majesty doesn't come over tonight, you can tell me that I am sick, that I have a cold occasionally. "
Dan E said knowingly: "Then if your highness asks..."
"After more than ten years of nurturing love, it was suddenly exposed. How could a mother and concubine like Bengong, who is so affectionate and sexual, pass away after crying?" Yun Fenghuang said lightly, "The two children have always been spoiled by Bengong. Over the years, how many times have I coaxed them for the sake of the peace of Xuanqing Palace? Now that they have grown up, it is up to them to coax me."
This man is afraid of idleness.
Qin Wang is the eldest son of the emperor who was excluded by Chunjia and the noble concubine early in the morning, and Zhaoqing is the eldest daughter of the emperor who is loved and has no pressure. These two, as long as they don't want to get busy now, don't they have a lot of free time?
I only found out about my background in the past two days, so I may need to hide in my own residence and calm down.
After that, I have to wonder what happened to my biological mother.
Like Zhaoqing, maybe he will also be interested in the Seventh Emperor...
How can that work?
Yun Fenghuang protected them from growing up alone, not to let their biological mother and younger sister enjoy the benefits!
Therefore, they must firmly attract their attention to themselves.
Not only did they have no time to pay attention to their biological mother and younger sister, they even dared not and did not want to do so easily in the future.
As for the method, the long actual battle between the loving empress dowager and the holy empress dowager provided Yun Fenghuang with rich guidance.
Presently pretending to be weak is just a small test, in the future, as long as the two children have the slightest move to get closer to their biological mother, Yun Fenghuang will take the opportunity to give them a lesson.
"Being sick is boring, and I have prepared portraits of young masters and ladies of similar ages from different families." Yun Fenghuang thought for a while and then ordered, "Zhaoqing can press it, Princess Qin...the banquet in the palace is still some days away, but this Mr. Gong can't recognize people when the time comes."
It is always necessary to screen out a relatively small range in advance, so that it is convenient to focus on observation at that time.
After she claimed to be sick, King Qin and Zhaoqing heard that the mother concubine was worried that they would be estranged from him, and fell ill overnight under anxiety. Apart from concern and guilt, there was also a vague sense of relief in his heart.
After all, even if they still can't make it clear, or can't face up to the fact very frankly: so far, Yun Fenghuang can live without their children, and still be the arrogant Concubine Min; if they don't have the concubine Min Gui , but determined not to have the current status and treatment.
But with the accumulated feelings of treating Yun Fenghuang as his biological mother for more than ten years, after knowing the truth subconsciously, he sought affirmation that Yun Fenghuang really regarded them as his own.
Now that the imperial concubine is ill, it directly proves their importance to the imperial concubine, which makes King Qin and Zhao Qing worry about her illness, how can they not breathe a sigh of relief?
Zhao Qingyou cried sincerely: "It's all my son's fault, if it's not for my son's recklessness, mother and concubine wouldn't be like this!"
She really regrets it. If she had known this would happen, she might as well have ordered her to shut up immediately after the Seventh Princess yelled out those words, and continued to pretend nothing had happened in front of the imperial concubine... In that case, given the importance the imperial concubine attaches to her, she must have known her I know, if she doesn't rush over to ask the teacher in public, so that the noble concubine can't continue to muddle through, most likely the noble concubine will tacitly accompany her to pretend to be confused.
Then they can continue to be "biological mother and daughter", why is it so embarrassing?
King Qin thought so too, he didn't say anything in front of Yun Fenghuang, after he went out, he went to a secluded place and dragged Zhaoqing to complain.
When their brothers and sisters were very young, Qin Wang and Zhaoqing used their own methods and refused to give in to each other.
But later Qin Wang unintentionally caused Zhaoqing's lameness, and since then he has given way to this younger sister everywhere.
Over the years, Zhaoqing has gotten used to the elder brother's concessions, and now he has complained firmly, the degree of grievance can be imagined!
If it was anything else, she would have lost her temper.
But just now, she came out of her mother's concubine's sick bed, and she was too regretful in her heart, so she couldn't get up to argue with King Qin at all, but she cried even more sadly.
"You can only blame your cousin." Qin Wang looked at it, and felt a little distressed. After all, she was the sister who had been protected for so long, and she had always been treated as a sister of the same father and mother. After hesitating for a while, he finally sighed, "If she Don't talk too much, where do all these things come from? You and I don't have to be in such a difficult situation now. You are in the palace and have the protection of your mother and concubine, which is actually very good. Do you know what I hear when I am outside? People say in private that I haven't gone to Zhao Jieyu's place to ask An to recognize me, so I dislike the poor and love the rich, and I feel that the birth mother's status is not as powerful as that of a concubine, so I still stay in Xuanqing Palace!"
Zhao Qing choked up and said, "They spout blood! The concubine mother has treated us like our own for so many years, and suddenly found out about her background, she immediately left her and left... Is this something human can do?!"
"This is our feeling, as for them." A cold look flashed in King Qin's eyes, and he snorted, "How could they think so much about us?! Some people even did it on purpose!"
The situation faced by the prince is certainly not comparable to that of the princess who has no inheritance rights.
In particular, although King Qin's aptitude was not good, his status as the eldest son of the emperor naturally received extra attention.
Although he vaguely understood in his heart that his father didn't want him to sit in that seat.
But it can't stand the speculation of many outsiders.
At this moment, he said to Zhaoqing, "Xiao Shi has gone to the front, and he will go at the end of the twelfth year. If I expect it to be true, in the spring of next year, I am afraid that some courtiers will propose to establish a reserve... It is said that when we were young, there were courtiers I mentioned it once, but was rejected by my father because the heir was young and I didn’t know how to be wise. But Twelve have left the harem, this reason is obviously not good to use again. And even though the father is in the prime of life... most of the time he doesn’t know what to do. I want to settle down the crown prince, so that I can cultivate it myself! Our life experience will not be exposed sooner or later, but if it is exposed at this time, it may be plotted by someone."
Zhaoqing subconsciously said: "Seventh sister said that she knew the news two years ago, and she also knew that the matter was so serious that she never dared to say it. This time she said it, and she was also rushed..."
"She said so, you just believe it?" Qin Wang sneered, "Or do you think this is your sister of the same father and mother, so you have no defense? The concubine mother really raised you for nothing!"
"You!!!" Zhaoqing stomped his feet angrily, his cheeks glowed with anger, but he became even more charming, and he said in a low voice, "I've got you in trouble this time, but if you say such things again, even if you are the elder brother, don't Blame me for being rude!"
Seeing this, the King of Qin frowned, suppressed his anger, and said, "It's because you are too much loved by your father, mother, and concubine, so you haven't made any progress in the past few years... You really believe her when she says she is in a hurry? You I don't even think about it. Is it something that no one knows that you favor younger brothers and sisters who are in front of the same mother and concubine? Every day when you go to the girls' school, you can expect that. Seventh sister chose to fight with Jiumei at that time. Conflict itself is suspicious!"
Zhaoqing snorted coldly, "Where did you hear about the mess? It was Jiumei who picked it up on her own initiative!"
"What is the root cause of that matter? Isn't it the two pots of peonies that fought in the imperial garden?" King Qin asked, "Then let me ask you, among the younger brothers and sisters in the palace, who has not been taught to let the peonies out? In our palace? If Seventh Sister is pure and innocent, where would she have the guts to argue with Ninth Sister?! Besides, are you sure that Seventh Sister really likes Peony?"
Zhaoqing was a little dumbfounded when he was asked, his momentum weakened, he was a little uncertain, and said: "This... this... even if we have neglected it, the concubine mother has always been shrewd..."
"My concubine is still lying on the couch now!" King Qin interrupted her, and said with some coldness, "And why did my concubine fall ill this time? It was said to be a cold, but what is the actual situation, you and I don't know? After a while, even if the concubine mother finds out, what happened to Seventh Sister, and there are even other people behind her...Are you sure the concubine mother will tell us?"
"..." Zhao Qing pursed her lips and imagined according to her understanding of Yun Fenghuang: This adoptive mother treated them as if they were her own, thinking that the two parties might even fall ill overnight because of the rift between them because they were not born, so even if they knew The so-called accident is actually a calculated necessity. Will she tell the two children?
No, because they were afraid of being thought of by the King of Qin and Zhao Qing, and deliberately provoked their relationship with their biological mother and younger sister!
"It's just that the mother and concubine are too cautious. After all, she is the one who raised us, so why don't we trust her?" Zhao Qing sighed in his heart, and looked up at King Qin: "Then, what's the big brother going to do?"
But at this moment, Yun Fenghuang, who was considered to be too cautious, was wearing makeup to make his face pale, and talked to Princess Yi who came to the palace to visit her sick through the curtain: "...I'm tired of you, but it's actually not a big problem."
"Being kind is not as good as raising kindness. Don't you think Xiaoqi is an example?" Princess Yi didn't know what to do, but she came here sincerely to enlighten her. Children who are not biological are indeed wonderful.
Even though Chunjia's own father gave up many heirs when the palace changed, she did her best.
Based on this point, Princess Yi felt very sympathetic to her at the moment, and tried her best to find words of comfort, "King Qin and His Highness Zhaoqing are both good children, and they are just a little at a loss right now. When they figure it out, they will naturally understand, who That’s the one who’s really close.”
Yun Fenghuang did a full set of plays, but he just sighed and didn't speak.
It sounds like endless worry.
"Speaking of which, last time, it seemed that the empress had told the minister about Xiaoqi's marriage?" Seeing this, Princess Yi felt that continuing this topic might make the noble concubine even more sad. After thinking about it, she said, "Actually, this matter It's not in a hurry, after all, King Qin hasn't engaged yet, and Xiao Qi is just a younger brother after all..."
"But he is only one year younger than King Qin." Yun Fenghuang was idling around, just in time to discuss with her, and then he said, "It's almost time to look. Besides, you are now a clan wife, if you No special circumstances, it is not good to stay in the imperial capital for a long time. If you miss this opportunity, you may not be there to choose a concubine for Xiaoqi in the future... As the saying goes, one person counts short, and several people count long. After a few years, he is no different from King Jin. Besides, this child is sensible and considerate, and he is really more caring than King Jin. If I can't choose a concubine who is good in all aspects, how can I be worthy of calling him "mother concubine" ?”
These words simply reached Princess Yi's heart.
She and Concubine Wen Huixian, the biological mother of the Seventh Prince, are direct sisters, and they have had a deep relationship since childhood.
I have nothing to show so far, and all my loving mother's heart is placed on the Seventh Prince.
How could she not care about the choice of the seventh prince's concubine?
Even though he understands that he is not in the imperial capital, he still has his father Yin Qu in charge.
Besides, Concubine Min is not a good quarrel, she wants her father and daughter to work hard, she will not cheat the Seventh Prince on the concubine, but how can Concubine Yi have no regrets if she misses such a big event like her nephew?
The resignation just now was nothing more than polite words.
Seeing the noble concubine say this now, she was overjoyed, she pursed her lips and said with a slight smile: "My wife is dull, how can I compare with my empress? But I am very grateful to my empress for making it happen."
"You don't have to be polite. Xiaoqi's concubine must be a noble girl first. If there is no suitable one among them, at least she must have a scholarly family." Yun Fenghuang said, "This child is both talented and beautiful. People, ordinary ladies, we must all look down on them. But I was born in a humble family, and I don’t know much about high-ranking families. Even if I listened to the introduction, I probably chose someone, and it’s not convenient to inquire about the inner house. These are The princess has to worry about it."
Concubine Yi was willing to worry about it any more, she agreed without thinking, and she also introduced Yun Fenghuang to several concubines who were looking for by Qin Wang through looking through the portraits before.
Yun Fenghuang was very satisfied, and said in his heart, the Yin family will never hide anything for the sake of the seventh prince's concubine, so let's take this opportunity to help him finalize the concubine of the king of Qin and the concubine of the ninth prince!
