Chapter 127: Branches
"..." All the elders in the palace were silent for a while with the noble concubine, and the noble concubine said, "Is it a coincidence after checking?"
Chen Jing said in a low voice, "It seems to be a coincidence at the moment."
After a pause, he said softly, "Madam, and Your Highness...the reason why His Highness was injured was not the so-called accidental injury, but when His Highness was talking about the frontier fortress with Miss Qi's family at the banquet, on a whim, he offered to try Qi's family." Young lady's skill. Originally, His Highness won, but Miss Qi's family was so angry that she sneaked in when His Highness was about to end, so..."
Yun Fenghuang said thoughtfully: "I remember that Chao Jingyou is very delicate... Is her daughter actually able to acquire martial arts?"
"I heard that Miss Qi was taken by her uncle when she stayed with her father in Beidi." Chen Jing said, "His uncle raised her as a boy, and often took her to dress up as a man and go hunting. Therefore, he is quite proficient in riding and shooting."
It's been too long, and if it wasn't for Chen Jing, Yun Fenghuang couldn't remember Qi Jiuzhang and others.
Hearing this, he sighed, and didn't say anything, just said: "Forget it, since it's her... because of the old friendship between the two families, I don't care about her. I just asked someone to send a letter to her stepmother, so that She calm down."
He asked again, "Who did she and Mengmeng get to know?"
Chen Jing listened, coughed dryly, and said: "If you go back to your mother, it's Miss Mengmeng... I hit it off with Miss Qi!"
"..." Yun Fenghuang was silent for a moment, Fang said, "Why?"
"Miss Mengmeng may not be very clear about the past." Chen Jing said awkwardly, "So a few days ago, when we met for the first time, I heard that Ms. Qi is from the Northland, and I heard that Mrs. Xie and Mrs. Qi had been friends in the past, so they were very enthusiastic. Then... ...Miss Qi met many noble ladies these days, and Miss Mengmeng helped introduce them."
Yun Fenghuang was backstabbed too much by members of the Xie clan, and now he was calm. Hearing this, he just sighed again and said: "Forget it, just let them go."
Can't you pull Xie Mengmeng over and explain to her the grievances and grievances of your generation in detail?
She can't afford to lose face.
Besides, Xie Mengmeng's status in the circle of noble girls in the imperial capital has always been a bit embarrassing. It is said that her father committed suicide in fear of crime, and his status was not very high before his death, so he is not qualified to hang out with the children of the high school.
But she has a high-ranking aunt Min Guifei who is very supportive of her, even the princess treats her like a sister, which makes those noble girls dare not make mistakes.
However, if you think about it carefully, others have the support of their father and brother's family background. As for her, apart from this aunt, she has nothing else to offer...
Therefore, the noble lady of the imperial capital's attitude towards her is a bit subtle.
It is impossible to be excluded explicitly, and there will always be one incidental to any feast or the like.
If nothing happens, I will also arrange for the concubine of the clan to contact her, in case one day I need to ask the imperial concubine, this relationship can be used.
But the noble girls who are really favored, such as Luo Di, Meng Posuo and others, just don't care much about Xie Mengmeng.
In the final analysis, they didn't feel that Xie Mengmeng had the right to be equal to them.
Therefore, it is understandable that Xie Mengmeng and Qi Luqing would "hit it off".
This girl really needs a little sister who has something in common, and even a good friend from the bottom of her heart.
Rather than either pretending to be false, or keeping a respectful distance.
When Yun Fenghuang came to the imperial capital from the north and followed Yun Qingman in and out, the situation was similar.
At that time, she was not as reliable as Xie Mengmeng, and her status was even more embarrassing.
She understands this kind of helplessness, so she doesn't bother to argue with this little niece, after all, Xie Xiaoyu is just such a child.
"It's just King Qin's side..." Yun Fenghuang thought for a while, and thought it would be better not to bet on King Qin's whim.
Back then, her rapid rise in the palace was the result of many people taking things lightly.
Therefore, after pondering for a while, he ordered, "Go to Concubine Shu and ask, Cui Nanye may promise to King Qin?"
The left and right quickly reminded: "Your Majesty, what about Miss Jue?"
"It's okay, admiring Gu Jue is a matter for the King of Qin, and I have never agreed with it." Yun Fenghuang said in a deep voice, "It's all about proposing marriage in private, don't delay things... Gu Jue, after so long, there should be some movement .”
After all, Yin Qu should be beaten soon, and many things have to be arranged before that.
She went to see Chunjia the next day, and discussed with the emperor about Qin Wang's marriage: "Xiao Jiu chose the lady of the Luo family, and I couldn't bear to ignore him, so I sent someone to the Luo family to talk about it. Yes. I wonder what His Majesty thinks?"
"Luo's daughter?" The emperor actually knew about this matter, and even sent someone to inquire about Luo Di's situation, so he agreed after a moment of pondering.
The Ninth Prince was one of the candidates he was considering. Luo Di's background and his own abilities were also expected to become a qualified princess.
Chunjia is quite satisfied with the choice of daughter-in-law here.
Naturally, he would not be embarrassed at this moment, and said happily, "You can decide this matter yourself, Ah Huang."
Yun Fenghuang sneered in his heart, if this was a marriage he didn't like, maybe he would have some reason to object.
You let Zhaoqing's marriage be decided by this palace!
She followed up and said: "It's just that Xiao Jiu is at the bottom of the ranking. He can't settle his lifelong affairs. The brothers above have not moved yet? I have been a concubine for the past two days, but I have a headache about Qin Wang's marriage. This child took advantage of the injury yesterday. The same concubine acted like a baby and mentioned Miss Jue. This was really embarrassing for the concubine...Your Majesty knows that the concubine doesn't mean that she doesn't like Miss Gu, but...I don't think it might get along well. But the king of Qin has another thought Thinking about it... the concubine is asking people to inquire about other people's girls now, and I am afraid that I will force the child to marry. How can the concubine accept it when the time comes to become a resentful couple? Alright, you can't make King Qin's life uncomfortable in the future, and make a good noble girl become a dissatisfied wife!"
What she said was reasonable, and Chunjia believed that she was a loving mother, so she didn't doubt that she had other thoughts. After hesitating for a while, she said slowly: "Perhaps King Qin has an idea, and the girls he values may not necessarily be good. ?”
"How can this young man be so excited to listen to what he has to say?" Yun Fenghuang twitched the corner of his mouth and said, "Besides, let me tell the truth: Miss Gu has nothing wrong with her... It's just that I really can't like it. .”
Chunjia smiled, and said indifferently: "King Qin is young and ignorant, if I say that Gu Jue is not good, it is naturally not good."
This means, to frame Gu Jue and shatter King Qin's illusions about his sweetheart?
Yun Fenghuang: "..."
Just, how should I put it, the emperor really loves his beloved concubine and his son, and he is really ruthless to outsiders...
But that's not what she wants.
The emperor's move was only aimed at Gu Jue himself, and maybe he would give Gu some compensation afterwards to calm things down.
But if she wants to deal with Gu Jue, Concubine Min has no means, so she needs to let the emperor do it himself?
What she wants is to use Gu Jue to implicate the Tenth Prince and others!
what to do?
The imperial concubine's thoughts turned, but at the end she sighed softly, and said: "Your Majesty loves me deeply, and I will be deeply moved by this concubine. It's just... King Qin is still young, if after this incident, he will be cynical from now on, won't this... not hurt the Princess Qin who will come later?" ?”
How could my eldest son be so weak... Chunjia was slightly taken aback, and immediately said: "It's not a big deal, is it?"
Isn't it because you misread the wrong person when you first fell in love?
Compared with the setbacks he and the imperial concubine encountered when they were teenagers, it is nothing worth mentioning.
If because of this, my temperament changes drastically...
That……
The emperor didn't know what to say?
He really didn't believe, or didn't want to believe that his son was so weak and incompetent.
"Of course not for us, but for King Qin..." Yun Fenghuang hesitated, and finally smiled with a pale face, and stroked his lower abdomen calmly, "Maybe the concubine is pregnant again now." For the sake of my mother, I always worry about gains and losses when thinking about things. I am afraid that I will not do well, and the children will be wronged without knowing it. After all, Your Majesty knows that the children in front of me have always been extremely filial and sensible. The arrangements made by the concubine made them feel uncomfortable, so they would not say anything. But in this way, the concubine became more and more confused and didn't know what to do with them."
When it came to being pregnant, Chunjia's expression also softened.
I think this is true.
The imperial concubine has always valued children, and now she is pregnant, it is human nature for this pregnant woman to be sensitive and thoughtful.
That can't be too rough.
Otherwise, the emperor didn't really care whether the King of Qin would suffer because of this.
A good eldest son of the emperor, if such a little thing can't stand it, it will be nothing but his flesh and blood.
Don't tell the imperial concubine to let her worry down because of this, so that it affects the raising of the fetus.
Chunjia thought for a while, and finally said slowly: "Don't be like this, Ah Huang. You have always been sincere to the children. How can the children not feel it? Even if sometimes it seems arbitrary, it is actually for their own good. Even if they If you don't understand for a while, you will know about your goodness in the future. How about this, you are pregnant now, so you shouldn't worry about it. I'll take care of King Qin's marriage."
Knowing that this imperial concubine might not be at ease with her, she assured her, "After I have chosen someone, I will let you check it out. If you don't like it, then let it go, how about it?"
To be honest, Yun Fenghuang didn't think so much.
Who knows what the emperor will do with this opportunity?
Don't get rid of all the candidates she likes, and make her have to accept the one he chose.
But there is no reason to object for the time being. After struggling for a while, he nodded uncomfortably: "Then I will thank you, Your Majesty."
After talking with the emperor for a while, he retreated back to Huanhua Palace and asked Chen Jing to inquire about the emperor.
Then he was told that Chunjia summoned the queen to the Taichu Palace to have an audience.
This audience was obviously not very pleasant for the Empress Dowager, although the attendants were all sent out, there was quite a commotion after all.
When the queen left, You Qi's eyes were red, and not long after, Gu Jue was sent out of the palace.
While Yun Fenghuang was silently waiting for Chunjia's next move, news came from the former court that Princess Weihe was about to arrive in the imperial capital.
The princess was immediately sent on the road by Khan when Chunjia let go, so she came very quickly.
Although Wei He is being overwhelmed by the Guochao now, it is precisely because of this that he has to adopt a more kind and generous attitude.
After discussing with the courtiers, Chunjia decided to let King Qin and other senior princes accompany King Shu to greet him, to show his respect for Weihe's golden branches and jade leaves.
As a result, after the palace servants who accompanied Qin Wang and others out of the palace returned, they immediately rushed to the imperial concubine to report anxiously!
