Chapter 111 This Must Not Be My Responsibility!
"Where is he pampering me?" Since Yun Fenghuang entered the palace, there is no one who can tell the truth, and the people around him are not sure about the truth of what they say on weekdays.
Now, I don’t hide anything in front of my own mother, and I have said a few words about the things I got along with the emperor, including the experience of living in the wilderness before, and said, “It’s useful to keep your daughter, so be more tolerant.” .After all, there are no four concubines in this palace. For someone like me who has no family background to support me, even if I become a concubine by opportunism, he does not favor a bit. Who knows if I can support him? "
"You don't have to be so pessimistic." Jiang frowned slightly as she listened, and after pondering for a moment, she advised her, "This emperor has a reputation for being honest and honest, and he is not the kind of person with a cold heart. Since he wants to use you, You have no other better choice now, why not do things for him sincerely, and when he turns back to Yu Jiyu, he will not treat you too badly."
Yun Fenghuang smiled and said: "Mother, why are you confused? Beidi used to say that I am virtuous, virtuous, gentle and considerate, and that I am the daughter-in-law that everyone in the world wants!"
What is honest and filial? Isn't that what the Queen Mother Yuan managed for him from a young age in order to let the concubine inherit the title?
Xie Fenghuan and Yun Fenghuang had done this before for the Jiang family, so Yun Fenghuang didn't take such rumors to heart at all.
"Why aren't you virtuous, virtuous, gentle and considerate?" Jiang glanced at her and snorted softly, "Let me ask you, if you marry Qi Jiulu smoothly, will you respect Qi's elders? Will you give him Take care of the inner house? Will you care about raising his heirs?"
Yun Fenghuang said: "Didn't you say it? After all, you have to save face for the elders on the scene. I'm really not happy to push Qi Jiulu out in private. No matter how noisy they are with their family, it will break the bones and connect the tendons; it is necessary to take care of the inner house." , This is the foundation of my being the head of the Qi family, and no one else can tolerate it! As for raising children... how can I not care about my own flesh and blood? Even if he changes his mind in the future and has a concubine's children, he can give them to him after making arrangements. My children are helping out, aren't they?"
"Then it's over?" Jiang said calmly, "What do ordinary people expect of their daughter-in-law? Isn't it just respecting the elders, taking care of the inner house, and raising the children? You have done everything and done well, don't worry about what you think in your heart. What do you think, why are you not virtuous? As for being gentle and considerate, how did I teach you?"
"If it is said that being virtuous and virtuous is what a husband's family requires of a daughter-in-law, being gentle and considerate is what a husband himself requires of his wife—but does Qi Jiulu eat that kind of gentleness? If he wants to eat that kind of thing, Chao Jingyou has already been with him Got it!"
"So don't listen to that half-understood nonsense, as if a woman has to be tender and submissive in order to please her husband!"
"You can make your husband like you, be happy when he sees you, and be willing to make progress for you and your children, that is tenderness and consideration!"
The Jiang family took it for granted, "Some people don't know how to teach their daughters. They only know that their daughters are gentle and gentle. If they leave the court and fail to win the favor of their husbands, it means that they are not nice to others. They don't want gold, pearls and jade objects. There are still people. What about the disgust of self-proclaimed loftiness, let alone the so-called gentleness and consideration?"
"This kind of goddaughter tells me that they are all misleading children!"
"Because teaching children to behave like the ignorant world recognizes, you can gain an advantage in theory, so that people can't blame the parents for not being careful. If the children do not live well, then their own lives will be miserable--instead of leaving their own responsibilities It's spotless!"
She glanced at her daughter, "Like me and your grandmother, the most important thing to teach a daughter is heart! Why do I spoil you and your sister more than your brothers? Because this world always feels that women are inferior. I have acquiesced to that contempt! I just want to pamper you with that kind of self-respect and self-love, not to belittle yourself!"
"Of course, to have a heart without the corresponding ability is to be conceited."
"So the second is to cultivate your talents, increase your knowledge, and enrich your experience..."
Jiang's mood faded as she spoke, "I'm not as good as your grandmother. She has six daughters, and all of them marry well. After getting married, it doesn't matter whether the husband changes his mind or not. After all, the status is as stable as a mountain. Even the children under her knees are also married to her husband." The family is highly valued. You and your sister's two daughters, I obviously followed the way I had learned from when I was a girl, but I didn't teach any of them well!"
According to her mother-in-law's teachings before she left the pavilion, to teach her daughter, first use pampering to cultivate a somewhat self-respecting, reserved and almost arrogant attitude, so as not to be too submissive and unable to stand up, and then teach various skills, cultivate talents, and subtly influence her vision and heart During the period, suppression and adjustments were quietly carried out to remove excess arrogance and arrogance.
In this way, even if the natal family lost their eyes when helping to pick a husband and son-in-law, or if some accident happened after marriage, they still have the power to deal with it, so that they will not lose the support of the family and the love of the husband, and become miserable.
Jiang thinks this way of thinking is no problem, and she has been doing this all the time. When Xie Fenghuan made a mistake, she reflected on it afterwards and thought it was understandable, because this daughter was not her own after all—this is not to say that she hid her selfishness in the upbringing, but It was the influence of Aunt Qin and the unavoidable comments from being a concubine from childhood to adulthood that caused Xie Fenghuan's indecision and lack of confidence, so that he was taken advantage of by others.
But Yun Fenghuang, as her own daughter, no one dared to talk about her discipline.
Why is it long and a little crooked?
Jiang shi thought about it carefully, and thought that it was not because he had learned the methods of mother-in-law and daughter-in-law and hadn't learned at home. He guessed that the child came to the Imperial Capital when he was only twelve years old. Xie shi's sister-in-law is not good enough. her daughter...
After calming down, Jiang returned to the subject: "The public opinion is raging, and of course some guidance can be given, but as the so-called fake can't be true, the real can't be fake. In the long run, you really think that no one can tell if it's true or false? That's why I told you that it's okay to be messy in private while promoting your good name, but you must be considerate on the scene."
"Let's talk about the six poems of Wei Wei in the previous dynasty. He was able to win the six poems all the way back then. Apart from the fact that his family managed his talent since he was a child, he himself is a first-class talent in the world—otherwise, if the article is posted, it will not be a big deal. Now it's in its original form?"
"I think His Majesty is similar. He has a reputation of being tolerant and kind since he was a child. The country is easy to change and the nature is hard to change. After so many years, even if it is pretending, it should be fake. Otherwise, with our family background, he is a majestic emperor, and he wants to deal with you. Concubine, are you afraid that there is no way to make you suffer so much but you can't tell? Since you are willing to indulge you, it can be seen that you are not a harsh person."
"Then Yu Gongjun and his ministers have a share, and you have to rely on his care for you to live comfortably in the future, why don't you give him some attention?"
Speaking of this, Jiang narrowed his eyes, "Aren't you still thinking about Qi Jiulu? What did I tell you before? Impossible people and things should be put down immediately. A person's life is very long, and he is born rich , who hasn’t had more than a dozen, dozens, or hundreds of regrets?! The regrets are over, and life must go on after all.”
"It's not..." Yun Fenghuang curled his lips and said, "It's just that His Majesty is not as kind as you think. You don't know that Yue Jieyu..."
She briefly talked about the fact that Yuan Niangniang grew up in front of the Queen Mother Yuan, but she was not even comparable to an ordinary lady. "That idiot Yuan Niangniang can't see it, but we still don't know why the Queen Mother and Your Majesty did this?"
Because Yuan Niangniang is the niece of the Empress Dowager Yuan, and because the rule of the country is that the vassal king has no son-in-law. If a certain vassal king is destined to be childless, there is no way.
But what if there is a problem with the first wife, the concubine gave birth to a concubine, but the concubine couldn't give birth to a son?
For example, the Empress Dowager Yuan tried every means to get her concubine to be made a king. It is only a few special cases, and there have not been many since the founding of the country.
More often, it's reconciliation, or, to put it simply, remarriage after losing a wife.
This is also the reason why the daughters of the Ji family, the Zheng family, the Cui family, etc. are married into the clan, but they have never had a princess: after all, the power and status of these families, even if their daughters cannot give birth, it is not so easy to get rid of. of……
When Chun Jiacai was born, she was adopted by the Empress Dowager Yuan, but she was still dissatisfied with Fuyang Zhuang Concubine, probably because she was moved to let her son marry again.
It was also because King Duan of Fuyang was weak, and he left within a few years, making Concubine Zhuang feel scruples.
Otherwise, the prince of Fuyang might not be able to fall on the head of Gong Xiangji, let alone adoptive as Xiaozong's heir.
From Yun Fenghuang's point of view, the Queen Mother Yuan obviously doesn't know how to teach children, but she still allows Yuan Niangniang to be pampered and self-willed, and she is inconsiderate. She presumably feels that she has never had children in her life. Blood relationship, the bastard raised by one hand is more related to his own interests.
If Yuan Niangniang had nothing to show for it, in order to pass on the prince of Fuyang, she could only let this niece abdicate.
"Yuan Niangniang is acting like that, and she caught a lot of mistakes." Yun Fenghuang said, "If Your Majesty had never ascended the throne, she would have become the Princess of Fuyang. Once she has no children, it is very easy to find a reason to abandon her! About Empress Dowager Yuan My Majesty and I still feel that they are kind, because since I deliberately pampered her to divorce my wife at any time, it is obvious that I don't intend to kill her. This is the Empress Dowager's direct niece and daughter, and she is a serious cousin with His Majesty, even if they are not related by blood. At any rate, they grew up together... Even now, they have made Yuan Niangniang feel that she is favored by the Queen Mother and His Majesty, mother, what kind of sincerity are you playing with such a person?"
She said contemptuously, "They deserve it too?"
Mrs. Jiang glanced at her and said, "You are a child's family - do you think that I treat Qi Jiulu better than the Queen Mother treats Yuan Niangniang? This is because he treats you with all his heart and soul, and Yue Jieyu does not seem to be very good to Your Majesty So! If I were Queen Mother Yuan, I would be able to deal with more ruthless hands. Whoever raises the child will feel sorry for him. If you want to blame, you can only blame Yue Jieyu's natal family for being incompetent. I feel sorry for my daughter!"
"..." Yun Fenghuang said melancholy, "But Yuan Niangniang grew up next to these two, even if she had raised a dog for more than ten years, wouldn't she be willing to treat her like this?"
"According to what you said and what I asked, how can this Yue Jieyu compare to a dog?" Jiang looked at her inexplicably, "A dog that can be kept for more than ten years must be sensible, well-behaved and loyal. Otherwise, she would have been slaughtered and eaten for meat long ago! Although this Yue Jieyu entered the palace arguing, she still caused problems for Her Majesty the Empress Dowager... The anecdotes about her outside the palace are really rare!"
"Why don't you get along well with the concubine? If you can't reach other places, you will grind your own palace people. Troubles will cause troubles, but they can't be solved every time. Every time, His Majesty the Queen Mother will help her deal with the aftermath. For this day The mother and son are not less angry... You said that if you had to choose, would you keep a dog or her?"
Yun Fenghuang laughed.
Jiang snorted and said, "I have taught you before that you must let your husband know what you have done to your husband, but you must not bring it up too often. Because there is no affection that can last a lifetime. If it can be used for a lifetime, then only It can be said that I was lucky enough to meet a sincere person. But we can't put our hopes on luck!"
"This Yue Jieyu has acted recklessly in the palace all these years because of her relationship with the Queen Mother for many years, her blood relationship with the Queen Mother, her marriage contract with Her Majesty, and her courage to enter the palace regardless of difficulties and dangers for Her Majesty... These emotions are temporary, three to five years is fine, she really thinks that she can eat it for the rest of her life?"
Jiang's face showed a mocking look, "If this is my daughter, first of all I will not allow her to enter the palace! If I can't stop it, then I will beat her to death and force her to change her temper, no Talk about how to be low-key, gentle and considerate, at least not to cause troubles for the mother and child of the Tian family... especially the Queen Mother!"
She raised her head, looked at her daughter, and said cautiously, "After all, you are young and have not personally experienced the life after marriage, so you may not understand: in terms of your majesty's life experience, the Empress Dowager Yuan is probably more important to him than anyone else. important!"
"So Yue Jieyu's biggest mistake was not making His Majesty feel wronged for her over and over again, but making Empress Dowager Yuan worry about her!"
"In the future, you must not be disrespectful to Queen Mother Yuan!"
"... You didn't say that when you were at home." Yun Fenghuang blinked.
Then Jiang's ears were twisted: "At that time, I only said that you would marry Qi Jiulu. Qi Jiulu had a strange relationship with Chen, and he was devoted to you, so I told you not to have a direct conflict with Chen. What's the matter for Qi Jiulu to go up... let alone how His Majesty looks at you now, can it compare with Qi Jiulu's attention to you?!"
Seeing Yun Fenghuang's aggrieved answer, he let go of his hand and sighed, "There is one more thing. Judging from the actions of Queen Mother Yuan, this is not a cheap lamp! She is not her niece, and she will rely on her original treatment Your majesty's kindness in nurturing and the credit for seeking the king will live a lifetime. You see, before your majesty was not in charge, she kept a low profile. Now your majesty is in the limelight. Whoever made Queen Mother Yuan unhappy over the years will definitely end badly in the future !"
"This queen mother has a lot of ways to take revenge with a kind and amiable face!"
Yun Fenghuang pinched his chin and pondered: "Mother, what you said is terrible... Then, what should I do if I have already offended you?"
