Chapter 229: The Eve

"This matter is troublesome." The next day, at Duke Yi's mansion, Duke Yi frowned slightly when he received the news, and said to his wife, "The Zhao family was raised by the queen before, but now the Ji family is declining, and His Majesty doesn't like it." No matter how reluctant the empress is, she never dares to neglect the emperor's heir under my son's name; but now that he is in the hands of the real concubine, it is hard to say."

Mrs. Han twisted her handkerchief uneasily: "But since the person who proposed to record the emperor's heir under my son's name is the real concubine, she will not deliberately let Zhao's miscarriage? Besides, my son is no longer here, so she just wants to do it because of my son's absence." Offending us, won't it be bad for Zhao's heirs?"

Yi Guogong said: "The real concubine really wouldn't do that... It's just that the queen's hand is tantamount to using the real concubine's hand to drag us into the water! The next harem battle has little to do with us, anyway, Shuang Yu is gone, Qingman has no ability to compete for that seat, Concubine Zhen has always been at odds with us, we just have to wait and see what happens."

"No matter who wins, it won't do anything to the child under Shuangyu's name..."

"But at this moment, the empress deliberately sent Mrs. Zhao to Xuanqing Palace. As a true concubine, how could she let go of the opportunity to make a big fuss by using the relationship between my son and my son?"

"Originally when a newcomer entered the palace, he relied on his family background in the palace to step on the real concubine's position. In the previous dynasty, his father and brother assisted His Majesty in eradicating the Ji family. It will happen naturally, and the successor will naturally be replaced."

"As a result, the Ji family has been in power for many years, so it should not be underestimated."

"He said that he was sick, and sent the Zhao family to the real concubine, and then forced our family to support the real concubine... In this way, the real concubine no longer has no foundation in the previous dynasty."

"Even though there is a grudge between our family and the real concubine, it is impossible to think about her all the time like a blood relative, but don't the Xie family's children also want to join the court? Your Majesty even allowed the Xie family's children to be the Lord... In this way, the piece of family background that Concubine Zhen lacks the most is barely filled."

"In this way, the real concubine is no longer vulnerable in front of the newcomer. Both sides are evenly matched, but they both hope that the back seat will not be vacated so quickly, so that they don't have enough savings and make the other party cheaper... Empress Ji, a queen, can only be stable if she does it. "

"Otherwise, after the true concubine leaves, the newcomers will have to target the middle palace!"

Duke Yi said this in one breath, and sighed softly, "Your Majesty has never trusted the queen, this one is indeed deep in the city!"

"If our Shuangyu is still here, the palace will be safe here!" Han said quietly, "The current imperial concubine is not up to Zhenfei to be in power... After all, we owe Shuangyu too much!"

Duke Yi understood what she meant: "Shuangyu is our first daughter, she passed away at a young age, why don't I feel bad as a father? Don't worry, as long as the real concubine does not go too far, for the sake of the child, I will help her. It's just that if she asks too much, we have other children after all. Moreover, this is not a good thing for that child... After all, the child is not the real concubine's own!"

Han felt uncomfortable, but she also knew that what her husband said was true.

Not to mention that they still have the eldest son Yun Qike to take care of, but with Yun Fenghuang's personality, if Yi Guogong's government is too obedient to her because of the child, sooner or later it will become a fish on the chopping board.

They must have a bottom line, so as to ensure that Yun Fenghuang treats Yun Shuangyu's heirs well, instead of just using them.

... Yun Fenghuang sneered slightly after receiving the reply from the Duke's Mansion: "Tell them, as long as I'm doing well, why bother them? After all, the concubine's concubine's child is entrusted to Bengong to raise, and I can't even live with it myself." Well, where is the spare energy to take care of Concubine Shu's heir?"

She just likes people like the Duke's Mansion who are affectionate and righteous to their own people!

In the past, there was Yun Qike, who did not hesitate to assassinate the concubine in order to avenge his sister; later, there was the Duke of Yi and his wife, in order to have an heir in their daughter's name, they would rather turn hostility into friendship.

The three people who are really in charge of the Duke's Mansion are willing to do this step, no matter how hard it is, it is not impossible.

Yun Fenghuang didn't bother to pay attention to Yi Guogong's so-called "not too much" beating, most feared that it was the kind of cruel and merciless relatives who would not recognize him, so he just ignored it.

This kind of expression of true feelings, one has two, take your time, I am not afraid that you will not be able to sell Yi Guogong's mansion for a good price.

Then he ordered Xie Hengyu, "Okay, you go and take care of Mrs. Zhao, I hope she will fight for a bit and give Sister Concubine Shu a male heir."

Otherwise, when the concubine of Xuanqing Palace gave birth to more children, she would have to find a way to adopt another male heir for Concubine Shu.

Only in this way can the Duke of Yi's mansion be dragged into the next whirlpool to the greatest extent—after all, if there is a prince under the name of a daughter-in-law of the Duke of Yi's mansion, no matter how cautious the Yun family is, they will not be able to stand behind the other princes and princes. The power of the government is preparing for the future battle for the crown prince, isn't the influence of the Duke of Yiguo's mansion?

Who is it that Duke Yi is loyal and loyal, and everyone knows it?

This is Chun Jia's important minister who firmly supported him when he came to the throne, and the only important minister who did so!

Concubine Shu stayed with the emperor for another eight years, and finally the emperor took charge of the government. Before she was allowed to enjoy some blessings, she was gone... Even if it was not Concubine Shu's own flesh and blood, as long as it was recorded in Concubine Shu's name, the legal order Above is Yun's grandson! It's Chunjia, can you show some favor to this child?

It's okay if the princess is favored, at most, there will be more favors when she descends.

But if it's the prince... then the tree wants to be quiet but the wind doesn't stop.

Not to mention that Yunfenghuang will definitely support her concubine Shu's children to strive for the top. When the time comes, Duke Yi's mansion...they can just ask for more blessings.

Yun Fenghuang sneered a few times before calling someone to fetch the palace affairs for disposal.

... In the blink of an eye, it was mid-February, and the birthday of the Empress Dowager was not far away. When paying her respects on this day, the Empress Dowager Yuan sighed and mentioned the Empress Dowager: "The Ai family still remembers that on the Shengshou Festival last year, mourning Together with the empress dowager mother and the empress dowager, the empress dowager led the concubines to greet the empress dowager. The empress dowager was very happy, but she cried when she saw Minghui and the others, and said that she remembered Minghui when the emperor came to the throne. They are still children. Seeing that the emperor has been on the throne for almost ten years, Ming Hui and the others can discuss marriage, but the royal family has not yet added a son and a half daughter, how can she be worthy of the late emperor in the future?"

"Now the empress dowager and mother empress dowager are recuperating in the palace, and Ai's family looks at you, and I feel uncomfortable in my heart!"

Yun Fenghuang brought all the concubines to kneel down to plead guilty, saying that it was because of their disappointment and failure to continue the son of the emperor, and comforted the queen mother: "Simply there are already concubines pregnant in the palace. A royal heir is born."

Empress Dowager Yuan said: "Ordinary people think that having more children is more blessings, let alone my royal family? Nowadays, there are many concubines in the palace, but few concubines. And among all the concubines, except Mrs. Chunke who was pregnant, only Jieyu is the one right now. You are happy, after all, heirs are rare!"

Speaking of this, there was a prelude where Yun Fenghuang personally praised the girls at the Danri banquet. How could Yunfenghuang not understand how to speak up at this moment?

So after singing and singing together, it was decided to ask the Empress Dowager Yuan to issue a decree to hire the noble girl into the palace to continue the matter of the heirs.

"Sister, what should we do?" After the day was over, Wei Hengyan followed Yun Fenghuang directly to the Huanhua Palace, and said worriedly, "We have only been in the palace for a few years, Your Majesty is afraid that many of the concubines will be here. I haven’t remembered yet, even some people have been recruiting girls until now, and they have never served in bed, so they are about to enter newcomers, and they are still recruited... this?”

Yun Fenghuang sighed: "I can't help it, Mrs. Chun Ke has fallen out of favor, and Yuan Meiren has no favors. Can the empress dowager not be in a hurry?"

Wei Hengyan was startled, and said in a low voice: "Sister, you mean, the empress dowager is all for... the Xingning uncle's mansion?"

"After all, the empress dowager is not your majesty's biological mother. She has already given two daughters of the Yuan family to your majesty. If you want to arrange a third one alone, you must consider your majesty's thoughts." Yun Fenghuang said softly, "But since it is Hiring noble ladies and adding a daughter from the Yuan family will not attract attention. Originally, it is due for the Yuan family to receive special care as His Majesty's natal family."

Although I don't know if there is a daughter of the Yuan family this time, Yun Fenghuang has already arranged for people to go to Xingningbo's mansion to tease her.

...In fact, it is estimated that if you don't push it, the Xingningbo Mansion will not let this opportunity pass by.

After all, who told Yuan Qianniang to be too troublesome, not to mention that her own child was gone, but also to give Yuan Qianniang medicine to kill her?

Originally, with the Empress Dowager Yuan around, it didn't matter if Yuan's daughter fell out of favor, as long as she had an imperial heir, regardless of gender, she would be able to benefit the family after all.

As a result, the emperor's favor is gone now, and the children are gone. If the Empress Dowager Yuan disappears one day, and they have no blood relationship with Chunjia, then the days after that will not be difficult, but at least they will plummet, right?

Then can you continue to send the third Yuan's daughter into the palace as a concubine?

As for Yun Fenghuang, having such a daughter of the Yuan family in the palace is a way to provoke the concubines, whether the newcomer or the Wei Hengyan in front of him, they are guaranteed to guard against the Queen Mother Yuan.

She even hoped that this daughter of the Yuan family would be more upbeat, and not be such a waste like the first two, even if the queen mother and aunt were sidetracked, she wouldn't be able to get up.

Otherwise, the Empress Dowager Yuan is of one heart with the newcomers, and the newcomers have all the help in front of the harem, how will she live?

"Then what shall we do in the future?" Wei Hengyan frowned and said in a low voice, "Those few houses are not cheap... Plus the Empress Dowager has always favored her own family..."

"Let's take one step at a time." Yun Fenghuang said calmly, "The Japanese palace has been persuading His Majesty to go to your place these past two days. Your father and brother also need to use it. If you can conceive an emperor's heir, you will have nothing to worry about in the future. Maybe, when the time comes, I will ask you to take care of me!"

Wei Hengyan was overjoyed, and hurriedly said: "What did my sister say? Without my sister, how can I have a sister today? Even if my sister is pregnant with the emperor's heir, it is still my sister's flattery. I hope that my sister will take care of my sister and mother in the future. Otherwise, My sister is so stupid, she is still confused after being betrayed."

Yun Fenghuang said a few more good words and coaxed her away. Not long after, the other concubines, including Gu Zhen, who had met her these days and had always had a nose that was not a nose and eyes that were not eyes, sent people over one after another. Inquire about news.

This wave of troubles has been dealt with, and the Queen Mother Yuan's order has also gone down.

In March of the eighth year of Chunjia, the empress dowager, the loving mother, congratulated the empress dowager on her birthday, and ordered Qintian to monitor and calculate the birthdays of the daughters of the courtiers of the fourth rank and above. Sons and heirs, relieve the worries of the empress dowager.
