Chapter 111 Long Time No See

Yun Fenghuang was not disappointed with this polite refusal, he just smiled and said: "Aren't you just thinking about how to teach the loving mother, Empress Dowager, to celebrate this birthday more easily?"

Then the topic was brought to Concubine An again, "This is the person raised by the loving mother Empress Dowager as a daughter, and now she is lonely and pitiful. Although her current results are her own fault, but now the children have grown up, and they are given to each other every year. When the Loving Mother Empress Dowager pays her birthday greetings, the whole room is full of chatter, Du An Concubine is alone, presumably the Loving Empress Dowager also couldn't bear it."

She talked about the past relationship between the aunt and nephew for a long time, Chunjia just smiled and listened, and finally said: "Then what does Ah Huang think?"

"The empress dowager, the loving mother, heard that there is a concubine in Jingjieyu's palace who is pregnant with the emperor's daughter." Yun Fenghuang's blunt sentence made Chunjia startled, and said, "Did the empress mother tell you personally?"

"How is it possible?" Yun Fenghuang said, "It's just the words from the people below... In fact, I originally didn't want to get involved in this matter, but..."

She lowered her eyes for a moment, as if to cover up the sadness in her eyes, "It's just that someone mentioned a concubine's birth mother who is still unknown."

"The concubine's biological mother is as old as the loving mother empress dowager..."

"well."

The noble concubine looked a bit dispirited, and said in a low voice, "I still can't bear to refuse."

Chunjia knew that the imperial concubine had always been deep in the city, and although the sadness at this moment and Ai Wu and Wu's performance were flawless, it was hard to say whether this was the case.

He just casually said a few words of comfort, but his mind was still on the matter itself.

To be honest, there are many heirs now, those who are not favored, those who don't care, more and more just have the title of emperor's heir.

For Chunjia, it doesn't matter who she raises.

Of course, as far as Concubine An herself is concerned, she really doesn't have this status in his heart now.

If Yun Fenghuang came to intercede, if it was simply to let Concubine An raise a princess, and even find out the origin of the princess... Chunjia didn't care.

The problem is that there is a handwriting of the empress dowager, so the emperor has to think about it.

After all, mother and son have lived together for many years, and they know each other very well.

If the Empress Dowager only wanted to raise a child for Concubine An, there was really no need to make such a fuss. She just mentioned it to the emperor euphemistically in person, and the emperor would not be stingy with an heir.

Since she has walked the way of the noble concubine regardless of previous suspicions, I am afraid...

The emperor's eyes darkened, he glanced at Yun Fenghuang, and said with a light smile, "I can't bear what you said, but the concubines in Jing Jieyu's palace should have children who should be raised by Jing Jieyu. Although Jing Jieyu's status is not high, and she already has a princess under her knee, but this is yours after all. You can't bully her for Concubine An... think again."

"Yes." Yun Fenghuang didn't bother, and resigned after being blessed.

After going out, leaving the Xingxintang for a while, Chen Jing wiped off his cold sweat and said, "Why does your majesty mention the empress dowager with your majesty?"

If you don't mention it, maybe the emperor will agree?

"How can we not mention it?" Yun Fenghuang said indifferently, "The reason why this palace can exist today is because of the emperor's favor and His Majesty's trust..."

Although a lot of this trust is her own pretense, but no matter what, if the emperor believes it, it is true.

"In His Majesty's mind, although I have a lot of thoughts, a deep city, and means, I still treat him with sincerity... There are some things that don't matter, and I may hide them from him out of selfishness, but if He wants to know the truth, and this Palace never hides it."

The imperial concubine sighed softly, "It is precisely because I have always given such an impression to His Majesty, and I have been doing things that I do not hide him or deceive him, that he can trust me with confidence!"

"After all, in His Majesty's opinion, no matter how small this palace is, things involving him will always be followed closely..."

For example, when she dealt with the empress dowager, she designed it to expose the empress dowager Yuan that she did not put Chunjia's interests first, which caused a gap in the relationship between the mother and son who had come to depend on each other, which gave her and the empress Is there an opportunity there?

"As the emperor's favorite in this palace, it doesn't matter if you say something wrong, do something wrong or even get confused occasionally. It's just a little bit of effort to coax your majesty." Yun Fenghuang said, "the only thing is that you really tried to hide it from your majesty." .That is the way of death!"

"Even if His Majesty disapproves of Yuan Ke's recovery, and disapproves of the kind mother Empress Dowager's activities for Yuan Ke, so what?"

"Ben Gong is just a concubine who loves Wu Jiwu and respects and sympathizes with the empress dowager because of his biological mother, so he wants to do something for their aunts and nephews on the spur of the moment."

"Even if there is a mistake, it is because of a soft heart."

"I'm not the kind of abusive person who doesn't know the severity."

"Your Majesty's heart, is it possible that I can't tolerate me anymore?"

She shook her head, "It's good to ask Yuan Shi to get up and restrain Zhonggong, but Bengong himself is the most important thing."

The imperial concubine is stupid, and because of Yuan's purpose, she has to rely on the trust and affection she has accumulated over the years of business.

"Your Majesty is really exhaustive." Chen Jing couldn't help but marvel.

Yun Fenghuang's face was not happy: "It's just that I have been with His Majesty for a long time, and I have been fascinated by it... The biggest opponent of this palace is not the queen, not the empress dowager, nor anyone who is in the harem, but the majesty himself... Without His Majesty's support, this palace's wish cannot be realized... But, Your Majesty..."

The more we get along, the more I feel that this emperor who has been kind to her for more than ten years is deeper than she thought.

"It's just that even if Yuan Ke's recovery fails this time, the third prince can't stay any longer..." Yun Fenghuang looked gloomy, "Your Majesty himself is an example, the prince who grew up from a difficult struggle, is it easy?"

At the same time, in Xingxintang, Chunjia was also talking about the third prince: "...he reminded me of when I was young, but whether I can grow into the appearance I am satisfied with depends on his future. The prince has not experienced these twists and turns and harshness like him, and he is somewhat weaker than him."

The battle between the country and the country is imminent, and the servants dare not criticize a certain prince rashly.

Just listen respectfully at the moment.

Generally speaking, Chunjia is currently the most satisfied prince is the third prince. As Yun Fenghuang expected, this prince's attitude of being friendly to his brothers and filial piety to his elders over the years may be pretending.

But being able to pretend all these years is also his ability.

When Chunjia was in the hands of the Ji family, didn't he pretend too little?

As an emperor, he has been a rich man in this palace for eight years.

It's still the kind of person who is about to be killed by the Ji family if he is not careful.

Therefore, the emperor never hated duplicity, especially his own successor, if he didn't have any means, why should he tame the former court and the rear palace?

"Concubine An is still making trouble in Woxia Tower right now?" The emperor had a deeper impression of the third prince because of Yun Fenghuang's mention of the past.

This son has a lot in common with his childhood experience.

Even in the case of adoptive mothers, it is astonishingly similar.

Chunjia's adoptive mother, Empress Dowager Yuan, not only devoted herself to him, but also loved Yuan Niangniang so much that Chunjia subconsciously coaxed Yuan Niangniang since she was a child, to get the approval and approval of Queen Mother Yuan; and Gu Zhen also loved the third prince very much. , but for the sake of the family and the future, they also sit back and watch the tenth prince bully the third prince...

Although Chunjia would not put aside his neglect of this son for more than ten years because of this, and think that he must be the reserve, but he also has great expectations for the third prince.

After all, the emperor himself has experience, and the emperor's heir honed out of suffering is much better than the well-qualified prince who grew up under the protection of his mother or concubine.

... Those who are not strong have long since fallen to death in misery.

He talked about the third prince for a while, and finally remembered what the imperial concubine said, pondered for a moment, and asked, "If you go back, let her come to my place."

Everyone was surprised, the emperor had not summoned Concubine An alone for many years.

It was the last time...they couldn't remember clearly.

Even if it was brought up by the noble concubine today, even if there are other things, after today, I am afraid that I will discuss it in the harem.

Concubine An herself was very surprised. More than ten years later, the resentment, resentment, hatred, and rage of her youth... were all ground into ashes in the years, and then slipped through her fingers, and she couldn't hold it.

She was also forced to accept Chunjia's childhood sweetheart for more than 20 years, and finally lost to Concubine Min, who had just entered the palace. An Fei.

Maybe it's because of her age, Concubine An's mood has calmed down a lot in the past two years, she is no longer the impulsiveness she had when she was young.

Of course, maybe it's because I'm getting older, and I don't have the energy of the past...

On the way to Xingxintang, Concubine An thought so.

She knew that there was no possibility for her to be favored again, otherwise Concubine Min would not let her live until now.

At this moment, I was ordered to go there, but I didn't clean up.

So the Concubine An that Chunjia saw was dusty, which is rare to see in the palace. Due to her previous disfigurement, she had been wearing a silk scarf for many years, and now she has not taken it off in front of the imperial court.

The emperor didn't care, and only said softly, "I haven't seen you for a long time."

These words were spoken casually, as if there had never been any grievances or intimacy between each other, it was just an ordinary old friend who met by chance after being separated for many years, with such friendly and nostalgic greetings without gaps One sentence.

Concubine An felt that she had been neglected by him for many years, and she had already been hurt thoroughly, and at this moment, she couldn't help but feel another burst of pain in her heart.

He... how could he? !

When the two of them met alone last time, Chunjia was still a little irritable and bored, that kind of expression and behavior that didn't want to see her, disliked her and hated her, even if it wasn't a good memory, at least... At least it proved that she was in his heart is still special.

Because she was his only female companion from childhood to adolescence, the only childhood sweetheart, and also his former fiancée...

She is special after all.

Especially when Concubine Min Gui is invincible in the six palaces and wantonly kills the concubine, she is only given a high position after winning the favor, and she is still given a high position, and the food and drink are honored, and she dare not really kill them all...isn't it? !

But now, Chunjia's attitude made her feel in a trance that those things of growing up together back then were just an illusion of her own?

He was at ease, as if the two of them were fellow villagers at most, not that they had agreed to marry each other and shared the same bed.

A choked sob rolled out of An Fei's throat, as if something was completely lost, and her heart was empty for a moment.

She knew that Chunjia had completely let her go now.

It's not like before, even if there is no love between men and women for her, there is still the affection and habit of staying together for many years like a relative.

Now……

He's used to being without her.

She doesn't even need her presence as a relative.

The son of heaven lost his father since he was a child, and was separated from his biological mother. In the palace of Fuyang County, he once only had his loving mother, the empress dowager, and her.

But now, he has the Sangong Sixth Court and dozens of heirs...

Concubine An felt so much pain in her heart that she didn't want to think about it any longer.

Forced a smile, no time to think about how sad and forced this smile is, Yuan Niangniang said in a low voice: "Your Majesty is here, what orders do you have?"

She didn't try to blame, feel wronged, cry, complain, get angry, blame... because she knew it was pointless.

The emperor who holds the power is not something she can say at all, he is gone, so what can she do if she is not reconciled?

Concubine An just wanted to finish the matter quickly and leave.

For Xingxintang at this moment, it would be a huge torment and embarrassment for her to stay for a moment longer.

"The imperial concubine said that you want to adopt the imperial daughter who has not yet landed in Jingjieyu's palace?" Chunjia said slowly, "Your palace has been lonely for the past two years, but why do you want to raise the imperial daughter?"
