Chapter 166: King Qin’s Great Marriage
Because the wedding was hosted by the loving mother, the Empress Dowager, and Yun Fenghuang was the mother of King Qin, not Yun Xuxu, so there was no need to be too tired today.
But after getting up, I dressed up in fancy clothes and waited for congratulations from all directions.
"Congratulations to sister, congratulations to sister, in the blink of an eye, King Qin married a wife." Naturally, on such a big day, Concubine De dared not neglect, she was the first to arrive, and even wore a crimson palace dress to show her celebration. After stepping into the hall, he said with a smile, "My sister congratulates my sister here, and I wish Qin Wang and his wife will be united forever, with good luck and success."
He said and asked the people below to present a pair of gold inlaid jade Ruyi.
Of course, this is not all congratulatory gifts for the King of Qin. The official gift list has long been sent to the Palace of the King of Qin outside the palace. Take it today to add joy.
Yun Fenghuang picked it up with a smile, enjoyed it a bit, and made it easy for people to put it down: "Later, I will ask someone to send it to the child's house, so that he will know that you love him."
Before they could say a few words, Concubine Shu arrived in a hurry.
Xu Shi communicated with Concubine De in private, and Cui Lianye also temporarily brought a pair of jade pendants to congratulate her.
Followed by many concubines below.
Because it was subsequently abolished, Yunfenghuang has the highest status in the palace and has a lot of prestige, so no one in the sixth palace dares to be negligent.
Looking from the bottom, although the noble concubine is still a noble concubine, she is even more powerful than when she received the worship of the Six Palaces during the New Year's Eve.
This made many old people feel complicated. They watched the rise of the imperial concubine with their own eyes. Looking back on the past thirteen years, it was like a dream.
Who would have thought that the daughter of the border country gentry who was used as a pawn to enter the palace back then, not only trampled down all the noble ladies who plotted against her in the blink of an eye, but also witnessed the fall of the two queens, and she became more and more glamorous. Woolen cloth?
She is even going to be a mother-in-law.
After the eldest son of the emperor married a wife, the lifelong events of the other emperor's heirs would inevitably follow one after another.
The already arrogant Xuanqing Palace, with the support of many in-laws, will definitely become more stable and unshakable.
No, as for the imperial concubine's favorite, she may not necessarily need the help of her in-laws.
"It's been a while since the abolished empress retreated to the cold palace. Do you think His Majesty will make a new empress?" Some low-ranking, young and bold concubines discussed in private, "If a new empress is established, isn't your empress the most natural choice?"
"You dare to say such things, shut up quickly." The companion tugged at the hem of her clothes, no one seemed to be paying attention to them, but she also whispered, "Actually, with the status and power of the imperial concubine, even if you don't become the successor, don't you?" Is it any worse than the queen?"
They thought that these little words were concealed, but Yun Fenghuang managed the Xuanqing Palace closely, but there were already some palace people who seemed to not look sideways, who wrote it down, turned around and reported it layer by layer.
Due to the rules of the ancestors, only the emperor and the prince are eligible to hold a wedding in the palace. The princess can descend from the palace, and the prince can go out from the Qiongjiu Palace to greet him in person. However, the main venue for the wedding of the emperor's heirs is still in their respective mansions outside the palace. .
Therefore, the bustle in the palace today is just congratulations.
Yun Fenghuang was pregnant and had a high status. After a few words with everyone, she showed lacklustre, so many concubines also resigned tactfully.
She forced herself to go to the Spring Palace to thank the Queen Mother Yuan, and when she returned to the Huanhua Palace, she couldn't take it anymore and fell asleep directly.
After this sleep, it was time to light the lamps before getting up. While cleaning her up, the Qing people told her, "His Royal Highness's wedding went very smoothly. King Song, King Wu, King Wei, King Yan, and King Jin all accompanied Prince Qin to welcome the bride. At the beginning, Yun's side prepared some battles to make things difficult, but they didn't dare when they saw the battle, but they just put on a show and taught Princess Qin to leave the boudoir... At Prince Qin's mansion, the empress specially sent Chen Jing Serving in the past, the loving mother, the Empress Dowager, also sent people to go, except for some small twists and turns, everything went smoothly. Counting the time, there should be a banquet at the moment, and after a while, the newcomer will enter the bridal chamber."
Yun Fenghuang smiled and said: "I have raised this child with trepidation for more than ten years, and dare not slack off in the slightest. Now I can be regarded as worthy of Sister Zhenxi."
Although Qin Wang didn't even want to recognize his own mother, he only recognized Yun Fenghuang as his adoptive mother, but he couldn't stand it. After all, he was recorded under the name of Concubine Zhenxishu. Come on, King Qin was brought up by the imperial concubine Zhenxishu, and everyone would feel that Zhenxishu owed Yunfenghuang this point.
Since Concubine Zhenxi Shu left, it was because the Duke Yi's mansion owed Yun Fenghuang.
So Yun Fenghuang didn't mind mentioning it occasionally, King Qin is the child of Concubine Zhenxishu.
All the servants knew her intentions and couldn't help smiling.
The Qing people said again: "Your Majesty just finished his work and came here to see your empress. He saw that your empress was sleeping, so he didn't bother me. I wanted to call the princess to talk, but I heard that your majesty and the others had gone out, so I hesitated for a moment and asked After eating some meals for the empress, I left."
In today's Huanhua Palace, the concubine who invited Ann was very quiet after she left, because the children all went to the Qin Palace to have a wedding banquet.
Since the wedding would inevitably last until nightfall, Princess Zhaoqing took the lead and specifically asked Yun Fenghuang for permission to let them spend the night in the Qin Palace so that they could congratulate the Qin King with peace of mind.
The noble concubine just laughed when she heard it: "Your Majesty is too busy."
Otherwise, how could it have been unexpected that in such a day, the sons and heirs would definitely not stay in the palace like the imperial concubine?
"There is one more thing." The Qing people hesitated for a while, and asked several young maids who were serving them to go out, and then said in a low voice, "Today, some concubines were talking about the posthumous position, saying that since the abolished queen has gone down, Yanfu Palace Is the vacancy... specially prepared for the empress?"
"..." Mentioning this matter, Yun Fenghuang frowned subconsciously, and said after a while, "It won't be a while before Gu Zhen was deposed, and it's all over. His Majesty has never mentioned what will happen next. , it just doesn’t mean that.”
The Qing people were a little bit looking forward to it and worried: "But His Majesty has been watching for the past two years, and he is not the kind of master who loves the new and dislikes the old. Although he is still kind to young concubines, he will probably come to the empress? That seat, if it is not reserved for the empress. , could it be someone else?"
"Now that your Majesty's throne is stable and there are many heirs, it doesn't really matter whether he succeeds or not." Yun Fenghuang said slowly, "If your Majesty doesn't mention it, either he doesn't plan to establish one, or he just imitates the Sejong of the past." First Emperor."
Seeing that the Qing people looked at her incomprehensibly, she sighed, "Emperor Shizong, there were four queens before and after. Except for Queen Yuan who died young, the second one succeeded, or was registered for the purpose of giving birth to a son. It’s okay to have two queens. After the third and fourth successors, do you think it must be established, or does Sejong really love them like that?”
"In Sejong's reign, there was no famous favorite concubine. Judging from the number of times he was lucky at that time, it seems a bit like rain and dew."
"This emperor is the same as today, with many heirs."
"And the princes who are quite favored by him, such as King Shu of Sejong and Princess Dongxing, are all descendants of concubines."
"Since you love these children so much, why do you have to give birth to a son-in-law to inherit the throne?"
"My palace speculates that it is probably because Sejong looked at many beloved heirs, but there can only be one crown prince, so he couldn't decide for a long time, so four queens were appointed successively as a buffer."
The Qing people were stunned, and said: "Buffer? But this... that Queen Qu's prince, was registered as the crown prince?"
Yun Fenghuang said lightly: "Yes, but he is only the prince, not the emperor. Don't forget the rules of the country. The prince has to go to the fief before he becomes the East Palace at fifteen. This rule was originally for the consideration of the Tian family. Avoid internal conflicts. No matter how favored the prince is, after leaving the imperial capital, whether it is the coldness of the relationship with the emperor or the inconvenience of dealing with the courtiers, it will greatly reduce their threat to the East Palace."
"Back then, the first emperor of Shenzong couldn't be favored, and no one even talked about marriage. He wanted a cat, but was taken away by Queen Qu..."
"This kind of treatment is like King Song and King Wu, but have you noticed that the fiefdom of the first emperor of Shenzong before he ascended the throne?"
"Fiefdom?" No one really pays attention to this matter. After all, Shenzong was already the emperor two dynasties ago, and he finally sat on the throne. up.
At this moment, the Qing people thought about it carefully, and asked uncertainly, "Before Shenzong ascended the throne, it seems that he was registered as... King Jiang?"
"As for the fief, it seems to be...?"
She really couldn't remember this, Yun Fenghuang said: "His fief is only six or seven days away from the imperial capital, and Kuaima can make a round trip."
The Qing people couldn't help but change their faces. The country had many purposes in entrusting the princes to the world.
But it will also prevent them from causing chaos, so the vicinity of Gyeonggi will definitely not be canonized.
In six or seven days, this is already a group of vassal states closest to the imperial capital.
This kind of place has always been granted to many favored princes, so that they can often enter the court and have a family relationship. And when the new monarch ascends to the position, he will often change the title of his brother to avoid any accidents.
"How could such a fiefdom be obtained by an unfavorable prince?" Yun Fenghuang snorted, "I'm afraid Shenzong was not favored at the time, but he was one of Shizong's favorite heir candidates... just like the King Wu today! "
When mentioning the third son of the emperor, the noble concubine's face became gloomy, "And even if Sejong doesn't care about Shenzong, even if Ji's many heirs don't care about compromising the future of a prostitute, is it true that the concubine is the same as the other emperor's heirs?" Died? How could it be possible for Shenzong to marry Ji's daughter-in-law as his concubine? Could they stop it? If Shenzong was really unfavored at the time, how could he stop these open and hidden arrows?"
She said disdainfully, "Take the matter of Concubine Wu as an example. If His Majesty hadn't come forward in person, I would suggest that Wei Shi himself would do everything possible to regret the marriage, so that Wei Xiyan can be promised to Xiaoqi!"
And no matter how capable Shenzong is, he can guarantee that there will be no problems on his side. How can he guarantee that the Yue family will stab back with his back, arrange a plot for his prostitute daughter to fall into the water, accidentally break into the water, and "have to" withdraw?
"Regardless of the concubines, the emperor's heirs are the son's own flesh and blood after all." The concubine sighed and continued, "You may not care much when you are young, but when you get older, you must soften your heart a little bit. Besides, the child has not yet been born. Ben Gong, even if it is his own mother, has repeatedly thought about killing it for himself. The child fell to the ground, who dares to try to touch the child of Ben Gong! , are married...Although there are some schemes against him, the mistake is not a matter of life and death, and this palace really treats him as one's own flesh and blood."
If it is really a matter of life and death, her own son may not be able to weigh much.
After all, Yun Fenghuang is not the kind of loving mother who is willing to die for her children.
She still thinks she is the most important.
"Sejong has many heirs, and he watched them grow up, so the affection is naturally deep. These children are constantly fighting among themselves. He knows everything, but he is very cautious, so it is not easy to strike hard."
"At this time, a queen should be appointed to ease the relationship between the children he really loves with the target of his son... This kind of thing, the emperor may not be able to do it. After all, compared to his own flesh and blood who have been with each other for a long time, a queen who is registered at will What is it? Even if the empress gives birth to an heir, how rare are Sejong's many children?"
Yun Fenghuang sighed in disbelief, "Of course, these are all my conjectures, but His Majesty may not have such a plan... After all, if His Majesty doesn't mention the matter of the latter, let's not say anything."
"Wait until the East Palace position is contested, and then draw it slowly."
It's just that Yun Fenghuang thinks that he should deal with the position of the East Palace first, and then consider his own post, but Yin Qu doesn't think so.
