Chapter 180: The Year of the Son of Heaven (Part 2)

... Although Chunjia does not have the real Yuji Yunei now, she is no longer the child who is trembling in front of Concubine Zhuang and will tremble because of the elder's eyes and tone changes. There is no need to be afraid of Fuyang Yuan Shi. But I feel that it doesn't matter what the showdown is.

It doesn't matter whether it's him or Yuan Niangniang that Empress Dowager Yuan really loves - he doesn't care.

So after he cut off Yuan Niangniang's future in this palace, he generously proposed to let her advance to the throne, and leave the Dendrobium Palace to her.

After all, Empress Dowager Yuan has cared for him for many years. Since she is reluctant to part with this niece, she should take care of him and be filial to her mother.

Of course, this generosity is also the last time, if Yuan Niangniang still refuses to stop, Chunjia won't bother to give her another chance.

Maybe some people think that she is innocent and wronged. After all, the Queen Mother Yuan did not teach her well from the beginning, and Chunjia's wholehearted promotion of herself is mostly perfunctory to her.

Even if he tactfully guided her later, it was only out of consideration for making his life easier, but he never really thought about her.

But they are as old as they are, and they grew up together. Although they didn't spend much time together before becoming the throne, they can easily understand what each other is doing.

When he was sweating profusely in his studies, Yuan Niangniang lived a relaxed and leisurely life, and would occasionally make trouble for him.

She never thought of studying with him, let alone worried that she was not worthy of the young prince who was born in the clan and worked so hard.

During this period of time, Chunjia had a few moments of jealousy towards Qi Jiulu. Because of the news his people brought back from the north, Qi Jiulu would know it, and Yun Fenghuang would basically know it.

Although it may not be comparable to the level of Qi Jiulu's mastery, it can at least be able to talk on paper.

Don't get bored or sneer when you are excited to ask her to share or show off.

If he had had such a companion when he was young, he would get along day and night, share the same interests, share the same mind, even if his appearance was not as good as Yun Fenghuang's, he would have poured some sincerity into it, wouldn't he?

Therefore, it is understandable for Qi Jiulu to come to the Imperial Capital from the North even after he got married.

A person like him who lives under the protection of his aunt who is not his biological mother, who is trembling and dare not slack off in the slightest, feels that it is very good to have a green plum like Yun Fenghuang, let alone grow up surrounded by him, and have enough time and energy to do it. Qi Jiulu, who considers the affection of his children?

If it were Qi Jiulu, he wouldn't let go.

Of course, in the final analysis, the reason why Chunjia didn’t feel guilty about abandoning Yuan Niangniang, or even caring about Gong Xiangzhuo, was because he felt that Yuan Niangniang’s admiration for him was actually more similar to the desire for monopoly or competitiveness out of a savage temperament, rather than Genuine care and love.

Otherwise, even if Empress Dowager Yuan coaxed her into thinking that she could be a concubine that everyone envied without hard work... Why did she never bother to understand his preferences and taboos, and caused him trouble for years of repeated admonitions?

Among those in the harem who are ruthless, the real concubine Yun Fenghuang is definitely on the list.

This is a person who can even be cruel to himself.

But she has been changing ways to protect Qi Jiulu so far, even though Qi Jiulu married Chao's daughter whom she hated deeply, and Chao's daughter was rumored to be pregnant...she was still afraid that he would be dragged down by the status of "real concubine's former fiance" .

Although Yun Fenghuang concealed it very well, Chun Jia knew it well.

He hadn't thought about the sincerity between him and Yuan Niangniang before, after all, when the Ji family was standing there, he couldn't even guarantee his survival, and he didn't care about the love between these children at all.

Secondly, although he can be regarded as Yunwen Yunwu, when he was in the palace, the Queen Mother Yuan looked at him, and there were no messy people and things around him; , no time to care about Fengyue; after ascending the throne, the concubines in the palace probably have ulterior motives, and it is too late for him to guard against them, let alone have a heart-to-heart relationship with them... In short, the emperor doesn't really understand what it means to be in love with each other.

It was said inside and outside the palace that he and Yuan Niangniang had been in love since they were young. He talked too much, so he thought that he pampered Yuan Niangniang and doted on her as much as possible, in exchange for her unabashed jealousy. Domineering, crying and beating as one likes, that is, two people are in love with each other.

After all, although he didn't have a deep love for Yuan Niangniang because of Concubine Zhuang's words and Yuan Niangniang's unsatisfactory performance. But if you want to say how to hate Yuan Niangniang... that's not enough.

She has a knot in her heart, she has been together for a long time since entering the palace, and sometimes she gets hysterical, compared to when she was in the palace, although she was unruly, but because of the honor and pride, she is probably lively and lively, and it is not without sincere sighs.

But this embarrassment probably means that a stranger sighs while reading a story about a beautiful woman who has a bad life.

After being moved for a while, let it go.

As for something unforgettable, that's even more impossible.

For Chunjia, the most unforgettable thing in his life up to now is without a doubt the uneasiness he felt when he was still young; the days and nights he worked hard to learn while enduring exhaustion and pain; When I came to the imperial capital to take the throne, I couldn't see all kinds of thrilling things in the history books... In short, in the situation where I feel that I have nothing and I can't protect myself, who still has the heart to think about those charming feelings?

So after Yun Fenghuang entered the palace, Chunjia knew about this concubine and Qi Jiulu.

He felt cheated...

The so-called "the only lady in this palace is full of you", "no matter how bad the lady is, she just has a bad temper, but she treats you sincerely", I'm afraid it's just the Queen Mother Yuan fooling him.

This Qingmei's undisguised jealousy is really for him, not for his identity, honor, and the status and power he can bring to her?

Yes, what Yuan Niangniang said was that she only wanted Gong Xiangji and her Jilang—she would rather Chunjia had never ascended the throne, and the two would love each other for a lifetime in Fuyang!

But she also took it for granted that after Chunjia came to power, she should find a way to kill the Ji family, vacate the queen's seat for her, and then dismiss Liugong and spoil her alone. It is best to listen to her in everything.

Otherwise, I'm sorry for her efforts and grievances over the years.

She was pregnant, and she took it for granted that if she gave birth to a prince, she should be made a prince immediately—even if Chunjia was patient. The son explained to her his current situation, and it would be very dangerous to be a prince, dangerous to him, and harmful to the baby. The same is true for the crown prince, but Yuan Niangniang only suspected that he had empathized with another person after hearing it, and refused to agree to her "such a small" request, which shows that she has changed her mind.

Chunjia played the flute for most of the night in the palace that night to calm down, so she resisted not immediately ordering her to be abandoned.

And that night, Yun Fenghuang, who also lost control of his emotions because of his childhood sweetheart, drifted down the river and made trouble with him.

At this moment, Chunjia, who was playing the flute again to calm her mind, thought to herself: "Perhaps Zhenfei still feels that I didn't make things difficult for her about that night because she is eloquent and concealed it well?"

Actually not.

The reason why Chunjia didn't really care about Yun Fenghuang, at most he raised the issue of beating her, was because he tried to understand what was going on between him and Yuan Niangniang under Yun Fenghuang's repeated actions that night.

No matter how godly and immortal the family members of the previous dynasty and harem were, no matter how sour Yun Fenghuang was when he was tempted, they could not change them. The so-called childhood sweethearts were more about conflicts of interest.

When the Empress Dowager Yuan compromised with the Yuan family of Fuyang, he compromised with the Queen Mother Yuan; Under the pressure of the government, he will turn against the water, lest the Duke of Yi's mansion will be alone; now, he no longer needs Yuan Shi so much, and Yuan Shi even asks him in turn, and even the Queen Mother Yuan dare not be like him when he was a child , but discussed and persuaded, but he still didn't want to turn his face like this.

After all, the Empress Dowager and Empress Dowager Ji are still there.

Although Yun Fenghuang is capable, he has little experience and a low seniority. He still needs the help of Queen Mother Yuan to mediate and block the pressure of the clan elders.

And for many years, the Queen Mother Yuan did not go too far, and he did not want to make the Queen Mother sad because of Yuan Niangniang.

He made a decision that night. Since he has no sincere love for Yuan Niangniang, it is hard to say how much Yuan Niangniang has true sincerity towards him. He has used her, and she has wronged him... After so many years, it is time to end up.

After that, he basically never visited Yuan Niangniang.

The plan at the time was that, for the sake of Empress Dowager Yuan's face, he would give her generous treatment, but the emperor's heir would not let her take care of her.

He himself grew up in a state where his grandmother didn't like his father's long-term illness, and his biological mother couldn't get close to him, so he could only try to please his aunt. The fear and bitterness of it can only be known by those who have experienced it.

All speculation is just watching the fire from the other side.

And no matter what Empress Dowager Yuan thought in her heart, she did treat him well as Concubine Zhuang said.

At least she and Concubine Zhuang were so discordant that she never said anything against Concubine Zhuang to Chunjia.

But what about Yuan Niangniang?

Full of grievances and resentment, she never knew the general idea, how would she teach her children?

Chunjia doesn't care that her child is full of resentment towards herself after listening to her biological mother's words. After all, to put it in a bad way, he must not be the only child.

He also did not intend to let the Yuan family produce another queen mother.

There are so many people in Sangong Sixth Courtyard, as long as the mastermind behind the murder of the emperor's heir in this palace is eradicated, he will have many children in the future.

One or two don't get close to him, Chunjia feels that after there are more children, he can't take care of them at all.

When the time comes to confer a title and send it out to the property, it's really unbelievable and outrageous, so just throw it to the prince he likes in the future to practice his skills.

After all, based on Chunjia's own experience and experience, he hates people who don't seek to make progress and complain about others because of bad circumstances-he has endured Yuan Lianniang like this for so many years.

How has he ever been smooth sailing all these years?

In the final analysis, it is because he worked hard enough in the past that he can be what he is today...Anyway, Chunjia himself thinks so.

Why is it that the father does not love the mother and does not love him? In the final analysis, it is because he is not up to date?

The real concubine sisters are a clear example: they were taught by the same mother, and even Xie Fenghuan received more favor from the Jiang family because she was a concubine. What happened? I didn't know people clearly before marriage, and after marriage, I was entrusted with inhumane people, not to mention that I didn't have a good end, and I also brought the two families into trouble;

Yun Fenghuang was also unlucky, with such a big sister, her bright future came to naught, and her childhood sweetheart fiancée also took advantage of her mortal enemy, and she was sadly urged to enter the imperial court, which is not a real noble girl with a bright future.

How difficult was her situation when she entered the palace?

It's only been a few months, and she is already a real concubine that no one knows and no one dares to despise.

Even if her current status was deliberately promoted by the Empress Dowager Yuan and Chunjia, there are many people from the Sixth Court of Sangong, and there are not a few newcomers entering the palace this year. Why didn't Chunjia and her son think of other candidates?

...In short, Chunjia felt that Gong Xiangzhuo was born prematurely and was doomed to die... so let's die young.

In this way, the break between him and Yuan Niangniang became more clean. Even if the Empress Dowager Yuan wanted to bring them back together again in the future, there would be no reason for the child to continue to make trouble.

After seeing the child with his own eyes, he even felt that it would be better for him to die earlier, after all, he was alive right now, but it must be very painful.

That pain reminded him of his biological father.

In the last few months of Fuyang Duanwang's life, he always wanted to die, because he was too weak, and the pain was so severe that he could not suppress it even with medicine.

When did the pampered vassal suffer so much?

Lying on the sickbed, he begged Concubine Zhuang loudly, begging her to give him a glass of poisoned wine, or a dagger, or heartbroken grass, or anything else, as long as he died early.

It's not like this, knowing that he can't survive, but he has to suffer painfully under the hanging of Tangyao.

Chunjia still remembers Concubine Zhuang's expression at that moment.

It is said that the grandmother vomited blood when she left the house...she really loved her son.

After all, is it your own?

I don’t know if it’s because of his childhood experience, but Chunjia has quite strange ideas about children: on the one hand, he firmly believes that there is no mother who does not love her own children, and this is a matter of course; but in himself, For the offspring, in fact, he is not very persistent or caring.

When he was not in power, when he heard that his concubine was pregnant, he was more worried than happy.

Now that he is in charge, considering from the side of the court, there should be some sons and daughters to stabilize the hearts of the people, but Chunjia is not in the mood of looking forward to her son.

He privately felt that if there is an emperor's heir, there will be one, and if there is no one, there will be no one. Anyway, Xiaozong has no sons, so he is also the emperor?

At worst, he is the same as Xiaozong, adoptive.

Adoption can also pick and choose to find one you like.

Unlike biological ones, okay, they can only be raised after they are born.

Anyway, as the Son of Heaven, he didn't worry about getting old and no one to take care of him; he didn't worry that no one would take care of his affairs after death, or that there would be no sacrifices during festivals.

In the future, whether it is his own son or not sitting on the emperor's throne, can he neglect Gongxiang's Taimiao? !

But Empress Dowager Yuan cared about the inheritance of blood, Chunjia felt that, as a filial son, he cared too, at least verbally.

...Speaking of which, it was the empress dowager's concern that made Chunjia suspect that Yuan Niangniang was indeed more important than herself in her heart.

But as I said before, he doesn't care anymore.

As long as the Empress Dowager Yuan is not against him, he will always be a filial son.

After being filial to the point of unintentionally learning the meaning of sincerity from Yun Fenghuang and Qi Jiulu, he continued to quietly learn from Yun Fenghuang how to use the advantages of the younger generation to control the emotions of the elders, so as to get the results he wanted.

After all, the older I get, the more I feel that what Concubine Zhuang said was right.

When I have nothing, I try to ask teachers as much as possible... Well, none of his teachers came to the imperial capital, and the emperor teachers arranged by the Ji family are all sour Confucians who have lost their minds after studying.

As the saying goes, three people must have my teacher, and there are so many concubines, it is not shameful to steal a teacher from the real concubine.

Anyway, Concubine Zhen didn't know.

After Chunjia played the song, she slowly put down the jade flute. After thinking about it, she was a little worried. After all, Yun Fenghuang was always cunning. After pondering for a while, she thought to herself, "I'll find another opportunity to mention Qi Jiulu tomorrow. In this way, Concubine Zhen should focus on how to dispel my suspicions, instead of suspecting that I secretly learned her methods of dealing with elders."

As wise as he is, this kind of thing is easy to solve!
