Chapter Thirteen The Emperor's Favor Is Insufficient

Xie Meng tilted his head and said: "Because Concubine Xuan will definitely go to sue, how can we stop aunt from going to His Majesty's place?"

With a low voice, "That's...that's..."

"I just hope that my aunt will be more educated, sensible and well-behaved when she sees His Majesty, right?" Yun Fenghuang nodded her forehead and asked with a sneer.

Xie Meng tentatively said: "This...isn't it right?"

"When you just entered the palace, your mother told the person who picked you up that you would have a toothache if you ate too much cakes and caramels, so when you come to the palace, I will allow you to eat two pieces of candy a day." Yun Fenghuang sat slightly Straightened up a little, looked at her with a smile, "One day, His Majesty came over and promised you to eat an extra piece, and you were very happy. Later, the imperial doctor showed you that the tooth didn't hurt anymore, and the palace people around you couldn't help pestering you. I promised you to eat four pieces of candy a day... It is more than the day your Majesty promised you to eat, but I see that when you eat those four pieces of candy, you are very happy, but you are not very happy every day ?”

"...Uh." Xie Meng is the oldest girl of the Xie family's fourth family. Whether it is the Jiang family or the little Chen family, they all attach great importance to her. up.

Therefore, even though he is only seven years old at the moment, he is unusually ignorant. After thinking about it for a while, he said, "Auntie means, if you are well-behaved and sensible in front of His Majesty, Your Majesty will I'm used to your tenderness and obedience, if that's the case, you won't be able to say anything if there is trouble like Concubine Xuan coming to your door?"

Seeing Yun Fenghuang nodding her head slightly, she frowned and said in a low voice, "However, Auntie goes to ask His Majesty to make decisions every time. It's fine once or twice. If there are too many times, isn't it the same as what you taught me just now? Follow in the footsteps of Yuan Niangniang?"

Yun Fenghuang smiled and said, "Silly boy, what do you think is the reason why Yuan Niangniang is in today's situation, what is wrong with her?"

Xie Meng felt that this was simply a sub-question: "Unruly, self-willed, arrogant and ignorant, self-destructing the Great Wall, um, doing it on your own?"

"Right or wrong." Yun Fenghuang stroked the top of her hair, and said with a light smile, "It is said that this person has developed such a personality since he was a child, why did he wait until today to see his downfall? So in the final analysis, it is wrong The problem is not her temperament, but her inability to see the situation clearly."

"Your Majesty is no longer the Majesty of the past, but Yuan Niangniang is still the former Yuan Niangniang." Xie Meng pondered for a while and asked tentatively.

Yun Fenghuang smiled and touched her forehead: "That's the reason. She was raised deliberately, but the talent in her bones is to be able to dominate in Fuyang County and other places. In the end, she caught up with her true destiny." The Son of Heaven, coming to the Imperial Capital, if Virtue is not worthy, is there no good result?"

Xie Meng still didn't understand: "But Auntie..."

Aren't you about the same now?

Before that, your fiancé was Qi Jiulu, who was a childhood sweetheart, and you didn't have a temper when you let him torment, but now your uncle is a majestic emperor, with a huge disparity in family background, and no long-term friendship. Eighty percent of it is the addition of a new love when you are young and beautiful-but you still look like you can't suffer or suffer, can you do it?

When she said this, she wished she could dig a hole and bury herself: Miss, the maidservants taught you to advise you just to remind the master, not to let you say what you want to say without restraint!

This is what the young niece and niece said. Not only is Yun Fenghuang not angry, but she has the patience to break it up and crush her precepts and deeds: "Auntie is really the same as Yuan Niangniang? Think about it carefully, Yuan Niangniang was born The Yuan family of Fuyang, this is a family that is more than a step above our Xie family. In the previous generation, a princess was born, and now she has become a queen mother. But she accompanied His Majesty from Fuyang to the Imperial Capital for eight years. Fuyang Apart from the title of Uncle Xingning because of Empress Dowager Yuan, the Yuan family has only one Yuan Ke as the emperor's companion, besides, have you ever asked for any favors in the temple?"

Xie Meng was stunned and said: "But at that time the emperor..."

"At that time, the Son of Heaven was in a difficult situation, and he could not be kind to his uncle's family." Yun Fenghuang nodded, "But, Yuan Niangniang had always hoped that the Son of Heaven would one day hold the power and rule the world, and she would be the mother of the world by supporting her! That's why she Are you ready?"

Seeing Xie Meng in a daze, he knew that this niece was still young after all, so she might not be able to understand it at this level.

But it doesn't matter, she taught first, how much can be understood, the left and right nieces are still young, and they will gradually understand in the future, "She expects the emperor to rule the world, but she doesn't do anything, just blame herself , just making trouble for no reason, but thinking that after the emperor took office, he made her queen without complaint, and coaxed her to obey her and listen to her in everything... Menger, do you think there is such a reason in the world? Yes, there is really such a thing in history books Such a lucky concubine, but how many posthumous titles are good for the monarchs on their stalls? No talent, no virtue, no family background, one side expects the emperor to be a wise king in the previous dynasty, wise and brave, courageous and resolute; If you expect the emperor to return to the harem, she will become a foolish emperor, and I would rather bear the world than her... I dare not write that in the scriptures!"

"The beloved concubine in the storybook is somehow virtuous, virtuous, and peerlessly beautiful!"

Yun Fenghuang sighed and asked his niece, "If you were Yuan Niangniang, tell me, what would you do?"

Xie Meng was in a daze for a moment, then asked uncertainly: "Then...to support your natal family?"

"What is the method of supporting?" Yun Fenghuang picked her up, sat on his knees, stared into her eyes, and asked, "You also said just now that the emperor was in a bad situation at the time and couldn't take care of himself. How could it be possible that Uncle Jia En Home?"

Xie Meng hesitated for a while, then gave up and said: "Then, aunt, what should I do?"

"...Of course, let the children of the Yuan family study, those who can do business, and those who can learn martial arts... In short, they are not allowed to be decadent and debauched. How can they make progress?" Yun Fenghuang hated that iron could not become steel, "If you have time, try to find a way to manage the name. In this way, if the emperor succeeds in his own administration, isn't this a ready-made talent for him to drive?! In this way, the Yuan family does not need to ask the emperor to promote him through the harem. The emperor himself has to thank his uncle's support and plump his body Feather, is this the truth?"

"If the Son of Heaven fails to govern himself, and has the reputation of being a virtuous and filial descendant, the Ji family will be more scrupulous... Eight years! Eight years! Yuan Niangniang is wasting like this!"

She sneered, "Believe it or not, if the Yuan family is really full of virtuous people, they are the talents His Majesty urgently needs now. Even if Yuan Niangniang did that, His Majesty would definitely not throw her in the Huzhu Palace, leaving her to fend for herself and ignore her? "

Squeezing Xie Meng's cheeks, Yun Fenghuang sighed, "Remember, it doesn't matter if you are unreasonable or unreasonable. The key is whether you have the ability to make people have to put up with your unruly willfulness." You are making trouble out of no reason, and you even have to go against your conscience, thinking that you are so innocent, pure and cute!"

"Your Majesty!" Qing Renqing couldn't bear it any longer, and had no choice but to dissuade, "You teach the young miss... this...?"

I always feel that I have to teach a little master who is even more troublesome than Yun Fenghuang when he was a child-Yun Fenghuang unilaterally competed with Xie Fenghuan at that time, although he was always suppressed by Jiang Shi, but as Jiang Shi's close servant, Qing Du, who was still a little maid at the beginning, was also maddened by the headaches behind Jiang's back.

She is really a direct daughter, Jiang has nothing to do, if it were someone else, she would have killed her long ago...

Still suffer that crime?

It turned out to be better now, this aunt has grown up and entered the palace, and she seems to be more sensible than when she was a child, but she still teaches her niece like this, this... Although the little Chen is not their master, for the fourth wife of the Xie family. To be able to continue to be harmonious, Qing Renqing felt that he had to come out and say something.

However, Xie Meng has already been aroused by Yun Fenghuang's curiosity, and he speculated happily according to his aunt's thoughts: "So, when my aunt entered the palace at the beginning of last year, she started promoting the family not long after, and even sought favor for Uncle Twenty-One. The Lord's opportunity... is for the sake of being savage, capricious and unreasonable?"

She asked puzzledly, "But...but the princess hasn't descended yet, and even if I descended, I, Mrs. Xie, wouldn't be enough to make my aunt be rude in front of His Majesty?"

Yun Fenghuang smiled and said: "You have this understanding, it can be seen that I did not delay you in the palace these days."

She pondered for a while, and Fang Xuxu said, "Things are impermanent. At your age, I don't want to say something too bleak to you, lest there will be any hindrance when I reach the age of discussing relatives. After all, Your Majesty is very If you are willing to spoil me, you have been living with me these past few months, so you must be able to feel it."

"But even now, when His Majesty has no intention of favoring Concubine Xuan and the others, I still have to tie my hands and feet."

"If a few days pass, Concubine Xuan and the others will also be pitied by His Majesty. Or they will give birth to noble heirs for His Majesty..."

Yun Fenghuang sneered, "At that time, the emperor's favor was not enough, virtuousness was not enough to be praised, and pure filial piety was not enough... The only thing that can protect you and my aunt and nephew from being bullied in this palace is profit."

She tilted her head slightly, and the candlelight shone on her smooth and fair skin, like porcelain with a sweet white glaze. What kind of interests can make him tempted to the point of wronging himself to tolerate me? This can't be done by me alone, we must work together, right?"

Xie Meng was ignorant: "Yes. But..."

"So I can't give in at this moment." Yun Fenghuang narrowed his eyes, and said in a low voice, "If you give up the first step, there will be a second step—your 21st uncle, Lord Shang, is coming, your father, your uncle, and the others are going to be officials. Now, what will happen to me if I pretend to be virtuous? Does His Majesty ask me to be sympathetic when they are oppressed unfairly, or does the Queen Mother ask me to be patient when their careers are not going well?"

"Yes, at this moment, if I have to pinch and suppress Concubine Xuan and those people, I will lose the conversation to some extent, and it will even consume Your Majesty's affection for me."

"But so what?"

"I haven't accumulated these affections for a few months. I don't need to be on Xie's official career at this moment. Will I wait later? Who knows what will happen in the future? Is it because His Majesty has forgotten me, or His Majesty has not forgotten me but because Because of this or that, you regret to give up on me?"

"Conversely, your father and the others are my brothers. I know they are not the kind of people who can't be helped."

"As long as they become the climate, they will become His Majesty's indispensable help."

"Then what if I exhausted the emperor's favor?"

"A wise gentleman like His Majesty, in order to make face for his right-hand man, would not care about pampering his right-hand sisters. It's as if His Majesty just told me that he must not be too disrespectful to Concubine Xuan's father and brother!"

"Such a solution is a long-term solution, and it is also the guarantee that I can die well in the future!"

… After a while, Xie Meng was sent away to continue with his homework. The Qing people said worriedly: "Mother, the young lady is only seven years old, you just teach like this, don't you...?"

"Shouldn't it be taught like this?" Yun Fenghuang sneered, got up from the dressing table, walked to the window, overlooked the scenery in the courtyard, and said calmly, "Mr. The marriage of the first generation can still be the same as in the Northland, although it also pays attention to being well-matched, but as long as it is not too bad, we always choose what we like?"

She said coldly, "Given Meng'er's age and seniority, they must be married. Don't teach me now, should I let her be Yuan Lianniang or Yun Shuangyu in the future?"

The Qing people didn't know what to say for a while: "My lady..."

"Go down." Yun Fenghuang did not give her a chance to continue speaking, and ordered, "Your Majesty should come over later, you let the small kitchen prepare."

Qing Ren bit his lip, hesitated for a while, and finally saluted and went on.

However, when it was time to light the lanterns, Chunjia, who had just promised to come in the Taichu Palace, still disappeared.
