Chapter Nine: The Death of Concubine Shu (Part 1)

"Your Majesty, the eldest prince was named by His Majesty only a few days after he landed, and the little prince was born only a few days ago? How can he go past the eldest brother?" Yun Fenghuang explained to Queen Mother Yuan in this way, "Furthermore, concubine The mother and concubine who is the little princess is not the mother and concubine of the little prince, but just raising the little prince on behalf of Concubine Shu's sister. Therefore, the baby name of the little prince should be carefully considered by Duke Yi and his wife on behalf of Concubine Shu's sister. It's just that it's not yet the day when the married woman enters the palace to pay her respects, so it was delayed."

Empress Dowager Yuan said lightly: "So that's the case, the Ai family thought that you are not that unruly, how could you act so recklessly?"

He also said, "It's just that the emperor's knees are empty. Now that he has a son and a daughter with great difficulty, he may not be unwilling to give the name himself. You hurriedly gave the granddaughter of the Ai family a baby name and passed it on. I don't know. I thought the emperor had no such plan."

Yun Fenghuang hastily admitted his mistake: "It's my concubine who didn't think carefully."

"It's not a big deal." The Empress Dowager Yuan slowed down her tone, "Since I made it clear, let's leave it at that."

Then he didn't say anything else, and waved them away.

On the way back, Shun Jieyu caught up with the real concubine and pleaded guilty, saying that she had no way to control her, so she sent someone to go to Chunlan Palace to mess around—this matter was privately reported to Chunlan Palace by some palace servants of Tongxia Palace In front of the waiter, report to Queen Mother Yuan.

"Didn't the empress dowager just say it, just make it clear." Yun Fenghuang told the walking chariot to stop, but it didn't land on the ground. He just sat in the chariot and looked down at her kneeling on the ground with her big belly full of embarrassment. After a while, I slowly laughed, "Qingman, what are you thinking? You and my sister, are you afraid that I will misunderstand you? Don't say it's not what you mean, even if it is what you mean, how else can I treat you? Sample?"

Her tone of voice was very gentle, but Shun Jieyu couldn't help shivering, and said tremblingly: "Madam, I don't mean that by being a concubine, I just..."

"Okay." Yun Fenghuang didn't bother to talk to her, "I still have to go back to take care of the little prince and the little princess, don't think too much about it, and give birth to a healthy heir for His Majesty, huh?"

The guard of honor of the real concubine was so far away that she could hardly see it, Shun Jieyu got up with the support of the dowry maid Miaofang.

"Your Majesty, bear with me a little longer. After the emperor's heir lands, you will be able to rely on you regardless of gender, so you don't have to look up to the concubine anymore." Miao Fang sighed and comforted her in a low voice, "As for the other things, we don't care, huh? "

Shun Jieyu bit her lip, didn't make a sound, just slowly got on the chariot parked beside her, said: "Go back."

"The people left behind by Concubine Shu really have some skills." Back in the Huanhua Palace, Yun Fenghuang smiled and said to Chen Zhu and other servants, "It's really impossible to get the news to Chunlan Palace... Concubine Bai Fei Shu has been in the palace for many years."

Chen Zhu said: "Your Majesty, the servants and servants who reported to the Spring Palace this time have all written down, do you want to..."

He made a sharp gesture.

"No need." Yun Fenghuang said indifferently, "Everyone knows that such a small matter can't do anything to this palace. Raised under my knees, I have been treated badly by this palace. Therefore, through the help of the loving mother, the empress dowager, I beat this palace so that this palace will not dare to ignore the little prince in the future... However, since they did this, it can be seen that the little prince has joined forces. It should be their young master."

But isn't the little prince too young to command the people left behind by his mother and concubine?

It doesn't matter, her adoptive mother can do it for her.

Yun Fenghuang sneered and ordered Chen Zhu, "Look at those people first, to see if you can follow the clues. If not, it's okay, let them put their heart into doing errands for the little prince in the future."

Chen Zhu understood and left, but within two days he brought an older court lady over to greet Yun Fenghuang.

It is said that the people who stayed behind by Concubine Shu thought it through clearly and came to surrender.

"Why surrender?" Yun Fenghuang said indifferently, "Concubine Shu's people should be given to the little prince. How can it be that a dignified adult in this palace, who is the adoptive mother and aunt of the little prince, can still rob the little prince? Let her go back, just tell her one thing: Although the little prince is young, he can't control them who are gossiping and gossiping, but I can't rub the sand in my eyes! Skin!"

The interpretation of these words means that the dispatch is to dispatch these people, but she is not responsible for the crime...

And although these people are still staying in Tongxia Palace, they can only recognize the little prince as their son, Shun Jieyu's mother and son are not counted...

As for what the people left behind by Concubine Shu think, Yun Fenghuang doesn't care.

To put it bluntly, since Concubine Shu left, they have few choices—it is impossible for queens and the like to use them sincerely. Few, there is no shortage of manpower at all, is it possible to ask your own people to make room for them?

The best choice is actually to return to Concubine Shu's sisters in the palace, and there is no need to change families.

But Concubine Shu's sister, Yun Qingman, was still in Yunfenghuang's hands at the time, and Yunfenghuang, a cheap sister, was suspected of killing Concubine Shu, so they couldn't choose the former. They took refuge in the latter... So they dragged on and on, and it can be said that Yun Qingman was promoted to Jieyu to set up their own family, and they found something to do.

But it didn't take long before Yun Fenghuang came up with an operation to ask Concubine Shu for an heir. In this way, Yun Fenghuang didn't need to check to know that among the people left by Concubine Shu, there was bound to be a split: should he follow this young master, or continue to assist? Shun Jieyu?

Although the young master is still in Yunfenghuang's hands, this is actually the eldest son of the emperor!

The middle palace can't be satisfied, so far nothing has come out, and it will be abandoned in the future. Whether there will be a son-in-law in the future is still a very distant thing.

According to common sense, Chunjia's knees have been empty for almost ten years since she became the throne, and now she has a son, even if she doesn't care about it, she doesn't necessarily care about it... Maybe those who are loyal to Concubine Shu are unwilling to switch to Xuanqing In the palace, even for the little prince, Concubine Shu has been gone for more than half a year, there are always some people who want to make plans for their future, don't they?

Yun Fenghuang is not greedy either. Concubine Shu has served the emperor for eight years, and she has a high status and artifice, which can make her get one or two bosses, and she makes money.

Anyway, she didn't pay anything at all.

"According to the days, the eldest prince has already been named by His Majesty." After dismissing the people on Concubine Shu's side, Yun Fenghuang held the tea bowl and pondered, "And the empress dowager's words mean more than the meaning, the name of the prince and daughter , it is better to ask His Majesty to give a name first, and if His Majesty comes over later, I should mention it to His Majesty."

Originally, Chunjia visited Huanhua Temple quite a few times, even if there are newcomers to favor him, Yun Fenghuang would see him three or two times in ten days.

Since the princes and princesses landed one after another, he came more frequently.

To the outside world, she said that she was enjoying family happiness, but in fact Chunjia was not very interested in this pair of children, so let’s not talk about the little prince, who has not yet transformed into a cute, Chunjia would take a casual look every time before letting him go; Because the little princess looks good, he will look at it for a while, but he doesn't mean to say that he loves her very much.

It's just to tell the palace people to take good care of her.

In the final analysis, I still stay with Yun Fenghuang a lot.

Yun Fenghuang speculates that his attitude towards these two children is not pretending, at least not completely pretending, he really doesn't care so much about this pair of princes and daughters who are considered very precious in the former court and the harem.

"The loving mother, the Empress Dowager, misunderstood me!" Yun Fenghuang didn't know that Chunjia didn't care much about the offspring, but that it was because the birth mother of the emperor's heir was from a humble background, Chunjia was influenced by the Empress Dowager Yuan, and looked down on children born to low-ranking concubines. Out of anger, he secretly whispered to the Qing people and other close servants, "In order to keep His Majesty from getting close to the Holy Mother and Empress Dowager, His Majesty did not even get close to the eldest son and daughter!"

Qing people and others looked at Chunjia's attitude very worried, and made suggestions: "Prince and princess are still young. When they grow up, they can run and talk. The empress taught them to take the initiative to make out with your majesty... After all, the prince is of flesh and blood, and the prince is not a child. The princess is good, and after a long time, even if His Majesty despises the humbleness of the birth mother, for the sake of the empress's teaching, he will not dislike it."

"That's the only way to go." Yun Fenghuang sighed, "According to the days, the palace is coming soon, Shun Jieyu and Yijia Palace, that is, the second half of the year... In the past, the Ji family presided over the palace, the emperor The heir is withered, but it will not be like this in the future, Your Majesty will never be short of princes and daughters."

Therefore, the advantage of the eldest son of the emperor and the eldest daughter of the emperor is actually not very great.

On the basis that the emperor doesn't care about the two children very much, it's even more difficult to talk about whether they have advantages or not—at most, the eldest son of the emperor may be a bargaining chip in the future.

But Yun Fenghuang himself didn't intend to support this cheap son to go to that step...

She had a headache for a while, and she had to ask the two children to be brought to her and cared about her, before she was about to dismiss her, when Chunjia came.

Yun Fenghuang just asked him to watch the children together, Chunjia looked at them with a smile, and said: "I see that they seem to have grown up a bit."

"The children at the moment don't look the same every day." Yun Fenghuang said with a smile, "It's also the concubine's name, thinking that the little princess is under the concubine's name, so I made up my own baby name, but the little one After all, the prince is my sister's child, so I thought that even the baby name should be discussed with the Duke of Yi, but I forgot to ask His Majesty to give it a name... Please don't argue with me, Your Majesty."

Chunjia didn't care and said: "I still think it's just a baby name. You are right to want Yi Guogong and his wife to name the little prince. Concubine Shu has been with me for many years, and the concubine passed away early, and I feel quite guilty in my heart. Since this child is recorded under Concubine Shu's name, let Duke Yi's mansion worry more, and Duke Yi is also comforted in his heart... In this way, let Duke Yi take the name, because I think about my love for Concubine Shu point."

Yun Fenghuang agreed gently at this moment, and promised to wait for the wife of Duke Yi to enter the palace in two days, and to tell the truth so that they would know the emperor's grace.

But at night, when the two of them entered the inner room, she sneered: "Your Majesty thinks about Concubine Shu so much, but you don't know what to do here often? The concubine's heart is not clear. After all How many people in the palace think that Sister Concubine Shu was forced to death by concubine?"

"I knew you were going to upset the pot of jealousy again." Chunjia was not surprised by her turning around, without raising her eyelids, she said with a half-smile, "Isn't this matter already settled and has nothing to do with you? You must What are you going to do with yourself?"

Yun Fenghuang snorted: "Is this concubine insisting on getting me involved? Your Majesty still doesn't know what was discussed in the palace back then?"

Chunjia looked at her with a slight smile, and said, "You are usually so smart, why are you so confused now? Do you really think that Concubine Shu's death has anything to do with you?"

"?" Yun Fenghuang was stunned for a while, and said, "Then Concubine Shu...?"
