Chapter VII Production

Due to the tossing and tossing of Mrs. Zhao during her pregnancy, everyone was ready for her premature delivery.

As a result, not only did she not give birth prematurely, but she gave birth half a month later than the expected date calculated by the imperial physician.

After all, her status is low, and the imperial heir's concubine, Concubine Zhenxishu, has passed away, so her treatment is incomparable to that of Mrs. Chun Ke, who was the first to give birth in this dynasty.

Not to mention that the loving mother, the Empress Dowager, was not present, even when Chunjia received the news in the previous court, she only said "Got it" lightly, and asked to tell her after the birth, and rewarded according to the rules.

There is no excitement at all about being a father again.

This kind of reaction made many people in the former court and harem feel relieved, but they were somewhat suspicious that the emperor was deliberately showing indifference, lest the emperor's heir would be too eye-catching and difficult to raise.

In short, Yun Fenghuang was the most concerned about the concubine's delivery, and since he received the news, he has personally guarded outside the delivery room.

However, Mrs. Zhao's birth was extremely unsatisfactory. After two days and two nights of tossing, she gave birth to a fat and red baby boy.

"Mistress, don't look down on the little prince who is inconspicuous now. When you raise him, he will be white and tender." Newborn babies are rarely beautiful and cute. After the emperor's heir landed, he packed up the package and sent it to Yun Fenghuang neatly. Then she looked at it. He frowned at a glance, hugged reluctantly, and asked someone to serve Mrs. Zhao, and then complained that the child was so ugly?

It was Xie Hengyu who came over and explained with a smile, "Your Majesty, you forgot that when the little lady was born, she looked the same?"

Xie's descendants were prosperous, and although Yun Fenghuang was only twelve years old when he left home, he had met his newborn nephews, nieces and cousins. This kind of half-grown children called over to watch.

The children that Yun Fenghuang has seen so far, apart from the late eldest prince and the newly born prince, is Xie Meng.

Xie Meng just happened to catch up with the past to join in the fun, just that time he felt that the newly born child was not cute at all, and he didn't bother to care about the birth of nephews, nieces, siblings, until a few months later, the cute and lovable ones , will make a joke.

This is still her blood relative. The prince in front of him is neither her own, nor even in her name. In terms of affection, he really doesn't have much.

The current appearance doesn't please her, even after listening to Xie Hengyu's words, she felt a little lack of interest, waved her hand and said: "Forget it, fortunately, she is crying loudly, she must be a strong one. I hope that sister Concubine Shu is in the spirit of heaven, so that she can bless her in this life." Son."

I told Xie Hengyu to take good care of this child, the kind who never leaves her - as for Mrs. Zhao, it is fine to arrange for a maid to guard her. Anyway, the emperor's heir is born, and she doesn't care if the concubine lives or dies.

It's not bad that she didn't let people take the opportunity to go to mother and keep their children.

He returned to the main hall, changed his clothes, and sent people to announce the good news.

The rewards of the two empress dowagers were the first to be delivered, followed by Chunjia and Zhonggong.

And no matter what the concubines think in their hearts, they still want to send some congratulatory gifts.

Shun Jieyu is pregnant now, and it is not so convenient to move, but she still goes to the door to congratulate Concubine Shu in spite of the cold weather and thank Concubine Shu: "Sister went early, thanks to Sister Zhenfei for having this little flesh and blood, from now on the little prince will depend on Sister Zhenfei Taken care of."

Yun Fenghuang smiled casually: "Sister Concubine Shu is also the elder sister of this palace, when I first entered the palace, sister Shu concubine took care of this palace a lot, now, how can this palace treat her prince badly? "

"..." Shun Jieyu was afraid to see her now, let alone how to talk to her, so when she heard the words, she embarrassingly admitted her mistake, saying that she had said something wrong.

Seeing that Yun Fenghuang didn't say anything, he left a congratulatory gift and left.

Yun Fenghuang has been busy these days, and has forgotten Yun Qingman a bit, and now he waited for her to leave before asking: "How is Tongxia Palace?"

Yun Qingman was promoted to Jieyu in the palace, and at that time she was arranged to live in Xiangtaoxuan where Concubine Shu used to live in the palace. When he came back to the palace, he still took over the Tongxia Palace under Yun Fenghuang's suggestion.

Tongxia Palace is governed by the four concubines, according to the rules, a Jieyu is not qualified to preside over it.

However, at that time the high positions in the palace were withered and Yun Fenghuang was in the limelight. With the Empress Dowager Yuan not interfering and Chun Jia conniving, this was the way it was.

Yun Fenghuang did this, saying that the three sisters loved each other. After Concubine Shu left, only her own sister Yun Qingman inherited her palace residence in full, so that they could slightly comfort the pain of losing their elder sister. And this must be comforting to Concubine Shu's spirit in heaven.

...Well, the real idea is that, on the one hand, it is convenient for Concubine Shu's old man to connect with Yun Qingman;

It would be great if the concubine of the Yun family created a gap with Duke Yi's mansion.

If not, Yun Fenghuang would not suffer anyway.

"It's still the same." Chen Zhu said, "There are no palace people who walk very close to the people around Shun Jieyu... but the palace concubines, some of them did some embroidery work in private, and gave it to Concubine Xuan secretly Concubine Rui and others."

What is Concubine Xuan Rui's status, is she still lacking embroidery work?

The move was nothing more than a gesture of surrender.

Yun Fenghuang snorted and said: "Useless things, after all, they are the father and daughter of the country, and they are still pregnant with the emperor's heir, and there is a team left by the sister-in-law by my side, and I have my palace to watch over them in the palace. ...Mrs. Yi Guogong's method of raising a concubine's daughter is amazing!"

If it wasn't for Concubine Shu's death, would Yun Qingman be afraid that she wouldn't be a tool for this sister-in-law to give birth to her obsessed pet all her life?

After hearing this, Chen Zhu asked for instructions: "Then do you want the servants to send those concubines..."

"It doesn't matter, they belong to Tongxia Palace, not Xuanqing Palace." Yun Fenghuang thought for a while, but shook his head, "Keep an eye on them, don't let them find out."

She showed a meaningful smile, "After all, Shun Jieyu is also very happy. Duke Yi is certainly very fond of him, but his sons and heirs are few today. Since he has a grandson under the name of Concubine Shu, if the concubine's daughter is also a To have a grandson, I'm afraid Fukuzawa is too much!"

It's not surprising that there are too many things. In the eyes of Yi Guogong and his wife, Concubine Shu is of course more important than Yun Qingman.

They are more or less willing to take care of the emperor's heir who is not related to Concubine Shu but is recorded in Concubine Shu's name.

The question is, if Yun Qingman also gave birth to a prince, then...?

One is from Yun's blood, and the other is that Concubine Shu is dead, but Yun Qingman is still alive. Duke Yi and his wife must still miss Concubine Shu in a short time. But after a long time, they gradually forgot how much they loved Concubine Shu, but Yun Qingman kept in touch with them...

When the time comes, can the Duke's Mansion's heart not be biased towards Yun Qingman's mother and son?

How can this work?

Yun Fenghuang planned to coerce the Duke's mansion early in the morning, so he absolutely had to put an end to the possibility of this cheap sister being favored.

So let Chen Zhu, "Keep those few, maybe they will be useful in the future."

Anyway, it is impossible for her to be accused of murdering the emperor's heir.

Just count on those few to eat what's inside and outside.

Maybe, if you do it well, you can also bring in big fish like Concubine Xuan and Rui Concubine?

After all the arrangements, it was time to light the lanterns, but Chunjia rested at Yuan Zhiniang's place that night, and didn't come over at all-except for the rewards given according to the rules, for him to get a prince again, and it was still a prince. The healthy prince showed no expression.

Two days later, when he went to Huanhua Palace to stay overnight, he asked someone to bring the baby over and take a look. He had the same reaction as Yun Fenghuang before, first he frowned, feeling ugly, and finally said a few words to let the people below take care of him. The emperor's heir said: "The next time I order my wife to enter the palace to pay her respects, let Mrs. Yi Guogong come and have a look, at least it is under the name of Concubine Shu."

Yun Fenghuang smiled and agreed: "Your Majesty still needs to say this? I sent someone to announce the good news to Duke Yi's mansion yesterday."

Chun Jia then stopped paying attention to the son, and let the nurse carry him down, and started talking and laughing with Yun Fenghuang on his own, Xie Meng came over to greet him on the way, but the emperor teased Xie Meng with great interest... so he went to the palace the next day Going to the court, when Yun Fenghuang was dressing up, the Qing people said to her with some sadness: "Your Majesty doesn't seem to like the little prince very much?"

"This is the heir under the name of Concubine Shu, or actually the eldest son of the emperor. If His Majesty likes him 100,000, it may not be a good thing." Yun Fenghuang looked at himself in the bronze mirror and said indifferently, " Besides, it's only been a few days? How do you know that His Majesty really doesn't like him?"

The Qing people whispered: "Depending on whose name the little prince is in, after all, the empress is his adoptive mother."

"Nursing mother?" Yun Fenghuang said with a smile, "The many concubines in Xuanqing Palace have only served His Majesty for a few days? Are you afraid that there will be a lot of fun under your knees in the future?"

It is of course very good to be able to raise the eldest son of the emperor under his knees. The problem is that the eldest son of the emperor is raised by Concubine Shu.

It's not that Yun Fenghuang himself has the possibility of raising other princes in the future, but right now he really doesn't have much thought for the eldest son of the emperor.

What she considered more was to use this child to control Duke Yi's mansion, so as to make up for the lack of her own family before Xie's real revitalization of the family.

... In other words, if the Xie family has achieved climate, then this prince is actually useless.

Therefore, Chunjia's attitude towards the prince was not very warm, which seemed to Yun Fenghuang to be quite good.

Otherwise, the child would fall into the eyes of the emperor, and it would be out of her control if he grew up.

In short, due to the emperor's attitude, the commotion caused by the birth of the emperor's eldest son in the previous court's harem quickly subsided within two days.

Concubine Xuan and Concubine Rui have received word from the family, telling them to stay calm and serve the emperor wholeheartedly: "Your Majesty has been on the throne for nearly ten years, but he has no heir under his knees. The prince who was happy at such a time, or the eldest prince died unexpectedly. Afterwards, a strong prince was ushered in, but he was still lukewarm. Whether it was pretending, or he really didn't care, it can be seen that His Majesty really treats us with sincerity, so you should not be impetuous, and don't do something that you shouldn't do because of it Yes, it makes His Majesty dislike it... It is better to take care of it and give birth to an heir as soon as possible."

After all, the position of successor is attractive, but not every successor can naturally become the queen mother.

Concubine Xuan and the others were very sensible and acted more and more cautiously. Even when Yun Fenghuang had been confined for half a month and personally carried the little prince to the Spring Palace to show the Empress Dowager Yuan, Concubine Rui took the initiative to propose the power of the palace. The matter, the meaning inside and outside the words is to ask whether the real concubine should continue to come back to take care of the palace affairs? At least participate in the palace affairs?

Concubine Xuan and the others were very astonished by this action, wondering why she would do such a thing?

Didn't it be said that going to the Xuanqing Palace to thank you was a reciprocal courtesy, and it can be said that the emperor suppressed the real concubine's favor? But recently Concubine Zhen has nothing to do with Hansu Palace, why is she rushing to beat others?
