Chapter Eight Jiao Ruo
Ouyang Fulu met the eyes of all kinds of people, but he didn't realize it, and smiled: "The little prince has just landed, and I heard that Yi Guiren from Xuanqing Palace is coming soon, sister Zhenfei must be very busy next time, sister shouldn't open this Mouth. But the younger sisters are young and inexperienced after all, and they don't dare to make claims on many things without my sister watching..."
Speaking of this, I took a look at the Empress Dowager Yuan, "I always come to ask the Empress Dowager for instructions, and I am afraid of disturbing the purity of the Empress Dowager. So... I don't know if my sister can..."
"Your Majesty's knees are empty. It's easy to have a prince, and Yigui is indeed about to give birth. I originally had no time to be distracted by palace affairs, but since my sister said so, I can't just take care of the emperor's heir. Tell the Empress Dowager to worry about it." Yun Fenghuang smiled gently and kindly, "Fortunately, I have never given birth and raised myself, so I have no experience, and the emperor's heir is mainly served by the palace servants...but it is not completely inseparable."
If other people propose to let her regain control of the palace right now, she must have doubts, because she doesn't know if these people have set up some kind of snare for her—otherwise, who would be so kind?
But Concubine Rui, Yun Fenghuang is really not afraid that she would dare to do this.
After all, Ouyang Yanran is still on her way to the imperial capital.
As long as Ouyang Fulu and the Ouyang family are not insane, they will never offend her with this eye joint.
So this is good intentions? Still, do you want something?
Yun Fenghuang thought about it, and on the pretext of "being filial to the Empress Dowager", he readily agreed to take over part of the palace affairs in two days after coming down, and "to give advice to the younger sisters who have just entered the palace".
"Since you have decided on your own, let's leave it as it is." The empress dowager Yuan remained silent until now, "It's just the real concubine who decides for herself. You can't neglect the emperor's heir just because you are worried about palace affairs. After all Although this child is not in your name, Concubine Shu has both the status of a sister and the grace of supporting you, so you should treat the child under her name as if it were your own, right?"
Yun Fenghuang's smile remained unchanged, as if he didn't hear her beating: "What the Empress Dowager said is very true."
"After a while, you can take it to Jiashan Palace and show it to the Empress Dowager." The Empress Dowager Yuan nodded, "And then don't take it out for a short time. It's still cold, and the child is young, so I'm afraid it won't be able to bear it."
She had mixed feelings about the grandson of the Zhao family, especially when she saw how powerful the child's calves were kicking in the swaddle, she felt heartbroken.
If only Niang Niang was not so capricious...
Empress Dowager Yuan forcibly cut off her thoughts, because she was afraid that the more she thought about it, the more sad she would become.
It's just that after all, she has nothing to do under her knees, and she has always regarded Chunjia as her own child.
Although this child was not born to Yuan Niangniang and has no blood relationship with her, she still treats her like a grandson.
But it was originally in Zheng's palace, and later it was recorded under Concubine Shu's name, was taken care of by the queen, and finally fell in front of Concubine Zhen... Such a complicated life experience is even worse than Chunjia's back then. With the de facto title of the eldest son of the emperor, the Queen Mother Yuan also knew that the life of this little prince would not be simple in the future.
Moreover, regarding the nature of the concubine Zhen, the grievances between the concubine Zhen and Duke Yi's mansion, and the concubine Zhen will have her own prince in the future, this child may have a very difficult life.
The Empress Dowager Yuan loved him dearly, but she didn't feel sorry for him to the point where she would fight for him in person like she did with the prince born by Yuan Niangniang.
So let's meet less.
Such affection is not deep, if the child falls into a bad situation in the future, she will not feel so distressed.
Unaware of Queen Mother Yuan's thoughts, Yun Fenghuang came out of Chunlang Palace and carried the child to Jiashan Palace as promised.
Empress Dowager Qu looked at it carefully, and concluded that the child was not very similar to Chunjia: "The Ai family didn't pay much attention to Mrs. Zhao, maybe he followed the appearance of his biological mother?"
"Yes." Yun Fenghuang said with a smile, "The concubine has heard from the elders in the family that the son is like the mother, and the daughter is like the father."
With a low voice, "Your Majesty and you are not carved out of the same mold?"
Empress Dowager Qu smiled: "The left and right can serve His Majesty, and they should look good... Besides, as for the emperor's heir, just be healthy."
Her attitude towards the little prince is still a bit warm, after all, he is his grandparent and grandson, but she didn't say that Yun Fenghuang would bring it to her often in the future, but instead persuaded her in a low voice when no outsiders were around, "You still If you are young, even if you did not eat well before and take good care of yourself, after a few years, you may still have hope."
"Your Majesty is right." Yun Fenghuang thanked respectfully, "But this matter can't be rushed, simply because His Majesty is still young, and my concubine is still young."
Empress Dowager Qu sighed and said, "Your Majesty is indeed young, so there is no rush."
But he didn't say Yun Feng Huang.
The implication is obviously to remind her to beware of a confidante breaking her grace before she gets old.
... Back in the Huanhua Palace, Yun Fenghuang handed over the little prince to Xie Hengyu to take care of him in the side hall, while he himself called Xie Meng to check her homework.
Xie Meng has been polished and taught by her during these days, and the previous mischievousness has been eliminated a lot, and his demeanor is quite demure.
It's just that when there are no outsiders around, it's unavoidable that the true colors will be revealed, and she will be tired of acting like a baby in the arms of her aunt, urging her to check quickly, so as not to delay her going to see the little prince.
"Why do you like that kid so much?" Yun Fenghuang asked amusedly, "It's not like there are no younger brothers and sisters at home, so what's new to you?"
Xie Meng didn't play tricks with his aunt either, and said truthfully: "The last time my mother came to the palace to say hello, the maid sister next to her told me that before my aunt took me into the palace for a short stay, but it has been several months. The meaning of letting me go back is obviously to let me stay with aunt for a long time. Therefore, let me restrain myself and make sure to have a good relationship with the emperor's heir under aunt's knee, so as not to make things difficult for aunt."
"Your mother really thinks too much." Yun Fenghuang smiled slightly, "This little prince doesn't know anything now, when they grow up enough to lose their temper with you, you can almost discuss marriage, and you can talk about marriage." Get along for a few days? Besides, he is eating and sleeping right now, and he doesn’t know if you go to see him. If you have that skill, why don’t you write more big characters.”
Xie Meng smiled and said: "It's also because there are no children in the palace to play with me, I think the little prince is quite fun."
"Don't be naughty." Yun Fenghuang pinched her cheek, "Otherwise, you will not be allowed to see him again."
After a while, when Xie Meng ran away, she called Qingdu to her and told her, "Think of a way to attract Meng'er's interest, and don't make her pay too much attention to the little prince."
Yun Fenghuang is very clear about her integrity, and it may not have a happy ending if the eldest prince falls into her hands.
Just like Empress Dowager Yuan didn't want to get too close to this grandson, Yun Fenghuang himself didn't intend to accumulate a deep relationship with this cheap son, so as not to follow in the footsteps of Empress Dowager Yuan—how could it be possible for Xie Meng to get too close to him?
So from the next day in Qingdu, Xie Meng was assigned twice as much homework. Xie Meng searched for Yun Fenghuang, acted like a baby, tried to reduce it but failed, went to do his homework with a mournful face, busy... Sure enough, he didn't have much time to think about the little prince.
When this matter is over, the Lord Shang's matter will be settled.
Relying on the rich family business accumulated by more than ten generations and the generous support of the family, Wang Linglai got the opportunity from Princess Shang Minghui; Princess Penglai was indeed descended from Xie Wuzheng.
Yun Fenghuang was a participant in these two marriages, so it is not surprising to hear the news now.
On the other hand, Princess Jinyun, under the persuasion of Mrs. Chen, Yun Fenghuang promised to mention it to Nie Bochen, but she only mentioned it, and did not persuade her to say anything. However, because of Zhao's production, he even forgot.
At this moment, Princess Jinyun, the descendant is... Zheng Fengli.
"How did Your Majesty remember this person?" Yun Fenghuang was quite surprised by Chunjia's decision. Although Zheng Fengfeng had a close relationship with Chunjia and was one of the six companions who accompanied him for many years, since Chunjia took office, apart from Except for Deng Chengzhai, the other five companions were more or less alienated by the emperor, or ignored.
Including Yun Qike, the son of Duke Yi.
And Zheng Fengyu was affected by the case of his younger brother Zheng Fengyu, and he had almost no sense of existence after that—what did he do, or what did Chunjia want him to do, that he would divide the only three princesses into one?
After a little thought, she called Chen Zhu to her and asked, "Is the back house of the Hussar General not peaceful recently?"
Chen Zhu pondered: "I haven't heard such news outside."
Then he took two steps closer, and said in a subdued voice, "However, I have heard that the Hushi General prefers Zheng Fengyi, and the other adopted sons are fine, but the deputy commander and the second son's wife have some criticisms."
The deputy commander he was talking about was Zheng Fengsen, the elder of Zheng Gu's adopted sons, and the second son was Zheng Fenglin, who was the second among the adopted sons.
These two married wives a long time ago because of their age, and when Zheng Gu was at the height of his power, the family of wives was not weak, and the wives were all pampered daughters-in-law. So whether it's out of jealousy of Zheng Gu's preference for his youngest son Zheng Fengfen, or out of foresight, he doesn't like Zheng Fengxuan's crimes, it is inevitable that he has a bad impression of this little uncle.
In this way, there is at least a certain gap between this family, not to say that they are like enemies.
Yun Fenghuang is thoughtful, so Chunjia just wants to take advantage of this, and push Zheng Fengli to stand out, and compete with his brothers for Zheng Gu's legacy?
Well, this kind of intention is too straightforward. Even if Zheng Ju has always been well-behaved before, it is impossible to continue to make concessions when it comes to matters related to his future and even life and death... That should be, Zheng Ju also acquiesced Will Zheng Fengli take over the Imperial Army in the future?
After all, compared to tearing up the face with Chunjia, it was the Zheng family who usurped the country if he won, or the next emperor would not be able to tolerate courtiers like them. He lost the whole Zheng family and changed his son to be the heir. It's Zheng Fengsen, but it's much better.
It should be acceptable for Zheng Ju to sacrifice this son who has been promoted to the deputy commander for the sake of the family.
Yun Fenghuang thought about Chunjia's plan, and said: "Forget it, just send the congratulatory gifts from the palace to the three princesses."
The wedding dates of the three princesses are all set in the second half of the year, but now they are about to start to make arrangements - Yun Fenghuang has been busy with these since last year, but it is not too troublesome to get started now.
It's just that within two days of being busy, Yi Xingen also activated it.
Although the imperial physician had previously said that she should be pregnant with a female fetus, after all the emperor's heir had not landed, everyone in the Xuanqing Palace, including Yun Fenghuang himself, had certain expectations in their hearts.
However, there was no surprise in the end, Yi Xingen did give birth to a little princess.
The only consolation is probably that this little princess has inherited the beauty of her biological mother, and she is even better than blue. She is the rare kind of child who is already beautiful at birth. It looks white, tender and cute.
This is the child under Yun Fenghuang's own name, compared to the little prince, she couldn't help but prefer it a little bit, so happy, she took the baby name "Jiaoruo" on the spot.
Then the next day, someone sued the Empress Dowager Yuan, saying that she favored the princess under her own name and treated the little prince badly—after all, the little prince has not had a baby name since he was born, and the little prince has just landed. Isn’t that obvious? What is the eccentricity?
