Chapter 23 I Have Special Skills for Getting Along with Mother-in-Law and Daughter-in-Law
Of course Yun Fenghuang was thinking of other ideas.
Ever since she entered the palace, she had been wary of Empress Dowager Yuan. After all, compared to the innocent Empress Dowager Ji, this one was not easy to see at first sight.
Later, the Jiang family came from afar, and after a few points, she went to the Empress Dowager Yuan to plead guilty, and the two sides had a short period of rapprochement—even at this moment, Yun Fenghuang didn't think the Empress Dowager Yuan was very kind, but it was just a hug. The well water does not violate the river water, and everyone gives each other face and gets along with each other in a friendly way.
As a result, the good times didn't last long. With Yuan Niangniang's death, the Empress Dowager Yuan unabashedly dragged her side. The status of Yun Fenghuang, a "sensible and intelligent child" in her heart, fell rapidly, not to mention, even because of Yuan Niangniang. , Empress Dowager Yuan became more and more bored with Yun Fenghuang.
Now that concubine Xuan and others have entered the palace, the existence of Yunfenghuang is no longer irreplaceable, and the Queen Mother Yuan is even more straightforward-counting how many times since Luo Hanyi and the others entered the palace, the queen mother has beaten Yunfenghuang, overtly and secretly. Are you going to make things difficult for her?
Therefore, on the way back from the Spring Palace today, Yun Fenghuang felt that this loving empress dowager could not stay.
It is definitely not possible to have such an idea if you want to change someone. After all, it is the one who has the deepest relationship with Chunjia among the three empress dowagers. He single-handedly cultivated this young emperor who is considered to have the appearance of a "Mingjun". The most important thing is that the Empress Dowager Yuan was able to go from being a vassal prince and concubine to the present, which shows that she is definitely not an idiot like Yuan Niangniang.
Even if she slack off for a while, once she is alerted, it will not be so easy to deal with.
The friendship between mother and child is there, and when it comes back, who can resist it?
But Yun Fenghuang didn't care, Qi Chen was still Qi Jiulu's mother, she had a disagreement with Chen Fan at that time, when didn't Qi Jiulu follow her?
As long as you have good provocative skills, how can you not destroy your love?
Her mother-in-law, Mrs. Jiang, used to mention her mother-in-law and daughter-in-law relationship. The core is that it is easy for a mother-in-law to embarrass the daughter-in-law, not that the daughter-in-law must obey her mother-in-law without thinking... So in Yun Fenghuang's view, if the mother-in-law doesn't like her, she doesn't have to endure it , Either change husband-in-law, or change mother-in-law.
But Chunjia's husband and son-in-law are really not easy to change. The little prince under her knee is only so old. With the current complexity of the temple, she is not suitable to be promoted to empress dowager now, so she can only ask this mother-in-law to cool off.
So at this moment, she cried out her grievances, and asked Chunjia to love her two children more in the future. Even if she has other children in the future, she can't just ignore the actual eldest son and daughter, and just compromise lightly.
Facing the temptation of Chunjia's distrust, Yunfeng Huangzhu burst into tears and said: "As my concubine said just now, because of the empress dowager's love for the eldest son of the emperor, even if she didn't give the eldest son a full moon, no one would think that The empress dowager doesn't feel sorry for the eldest son of the emperor. How did your majesty treat the concubine? Who didn't know who was in the harem before? Could it be that this time, if you don't go to the empress dowager to intercede for the concubine, the concubine will suspect that you don't care Are you a concubine?"
He also said, "If it were someone else, I would never give in. After all, Your Majesty, you also know that I have such a sharp and strong personality. It was like this when I was young, and I can't change it. But this will It's the Empress Dowager who spoke, although I'm not virtuous, there are still rules of respecting elders. Besides, you treat me so well, how can I have the heart to embarrass you?"
Chunjia was very moved by what she had said, and she wished she could go to the Spring Palace to pamper her face immediately——Yun Fenghuang persuaded him with sweet words, telling him not to do this: "The empress dowager is so embarrassing in front of everyone. Speaking of which, if the full moon banquet is still held separately for the two children, no matter how nice the words are, there will still be those who will gossip outside, saying that the Queen Mother’s words in the palace have no weight... I am thinking of Your Majesty’s love, How can something like this happen?"
"Conversely, if I obey the empress dowager, people will laugh at me for not being pleasing to me, and even the emperor's heir will be wronged..."
"But both the concubine and the emperor's heir are juniors of the empress dowager, so what does it matter if this junior suffers a little bit of grievance for the sake of the elder?"
"As long as your Majesty loves more concubines and mothers and three concubines in the future, and dare not say those words in front of concubines, then the concubine's rights should not be heard."
"It's difficult these days, are there still fewer people talking about concubines in private?"
"I am a concubine, I have long been used to it."
If it was a concubine who was usually sensible, such as Wei Hengyan, she shouldn't say such things, Chunjia also felt that she should be wronged for the sake of the queen mother.
After all, what Guochao advocates is to govern the country with filial piety, right?
Not to mention the concubine, even the emperor, since he was a child, has he never felt wronged or sad?
It's not enough to bear it.
Continue to be the good son of the loving mother Empress Dowager.
But Yun Fenghuang has always been a restless master, and he will stir up three points if he doesn't reason. From the time he entered the palace, when he was still a small concubine, he had never upset anyone, let alone fight. I have never backed down from anyone, even trying to gain the upper hand against Chunjia—this is a rare concession at the moment, Chunjia intellectually suspects that she is playing retreat to advance, but emotionally she still can't help being moved .
I think Concubine Ai is so sensible, caring, well-behaved and wronged!
I feel that the kindness to this concubine these days has not been in vain, and she also remembers it in her heart!
He was so moved that he suddenly felt compensatory, so after encouraging Yun Fenghuang a lot, he mentioned the matter of naming the two children: "Before I promised my concubine to name the emperor at the full moon banquet. It's just that Concubine Ai and Concubine Zhenxishu have a deep bond of affection, only mentioning the emperor's son, but not the emperor's daughter. I have few descendants, even if the eldest daughter of the emperor cannot inherit an heir, how can it be ignored?"
Actually, although Yunfenghuang didn't mention Jiaoruo that day, Chunjia herself did mention it.
But this will be to praise the concubine, the emperor will naturally not talk about the details, so at this moment, someone took a pen, ink, paper and inkstone, and personally wrote a word, naming the little princess: "My concubine first entered the palace, and lived in Xi Xingxuan. ’. There is a poem in the past that says, “The Dongfeng Pavilion spreads the fragrance, and the apricots and peach trees bloom.”
Yun Fenghuang smiled sweetly at him when he heard the words... Wei Hengyan waited very late that night, but he never saw the emperor and concubine sister who promised to come to see her, and finally fell asleep.
But the emperor's compensation was more than that. On the day of the full moon banquet co-organized by the two emperor's heirs, Chunjia even issued an imperial decree, naming the little princess as "Princess Zhaoqing".
This is against convention.
There is a customary rule in the imperial court regarding the entrustment of princes and daughters. If a prince is crowned king for fifteen years, if he is not established as the heir, he will go to the fiefdom. From then on, he will not be allowed to enter Beijing without an edict; You have to be twelve years old to get the title of princess.
Occasional exceptions are special circumstances.
For example, in the previous dynasty, there were princes and princesses who were deeply loved but did not live forever. They died at a young age. Under the mourning of the emperor and empress, in order to avoid no one behind him to sacrifice, they raced for time to be canonized, or they died after they were young, and they waited for the right opportunity to adopt Heir, or buried with the emperor's mausoleum.
Another example is the three princesses of Xiaozong. They were only six or seven years old when Xiaozong died. In a calm tone, he named the three daughters princesses and set a generous Tang Muyi.
Although this kind of promotion is also in advance, but the relatives of the family are going to die, fearing that the new king will not pay enough attention, everyone can understand that he will give his daughter more things before he dies.
But how old is Gongxiang? It is said that it is a full moon, but in fact it is a few days away because it is organized with the half-brother.
Born strong and cute, it doesn't seem like he won't live long. It's only been 20 days since he landed, and he even got the title of princess with his name-this is the first time in the country!
So much so that Empress Dowager Yuan cried when she returned to the Spring Palace after the full moon banquet: "The emperor's son, this is the face of bereavement! Zhuo'er was just the eldest son of the emperor until his death, a princess under Xiaoyun's knee, but It's the princess!"
"Why does the queen mother think so?" Chunjia, who stepped in with his heels in, looked surprised, "The child is doing this for the mother's sake!"
Seeing Empress Dowager Yuan stunned, he said heartbrokenly, "At the time when Zhuo'er died, the queen mother was heartbroken! How much did the mother emaciate in those days? I still feel terrified when I think about it! It's so easy for the child to fall to the ground. Thinking about it, how much?" I can comfort the queen mother...but after Zhuo'er is gone, Rang'er is actually the eldest son of the emperor!"
Gongxiang Rang is the name he gave to the little prince today.
"Mother, please think about it, over the years, how many children under the child's knees have left without knowing why?"
"The eldest son of the emperor... Although the boy is still in his prime, the people below... the boy canonized the princess today, but because he was afraid that Rang'er would get too much limelight, he specially promoted the princess to divert the topic - the left and right princesses can't take the throne, even if it's partiality Some, what is it?"
Empress Dowager Yuan didn't believe it, she wept and said, "Is the emperor coming to talk to Ai's family now? You said that you love Rang'er because you are afraid that he will make a mistake and make Ai's family feel sad. However, Zhuo'er is gone. But you have never given him the title! Besides, you kept saying that Zhuo’er is your eldest son, but why didn’t you name him after Zhuo’er?! Or you said that you gave it after racking your brains? Zhuo'er's name is all a lie to Ai's family?!"
"Mother's queen." Chunjia knelt down, walked up to her, and said suddenly, "Mother's mother misses my child so much, but tells him how to deal with it? Why doesn't the child want to give Zhuo'er the title? In fact, his title is given to him by the child." It was already decided when the name was given. It was originally planned to be given when the child was full moon, but the child did not last until that time... and the mother has been worried about it so far, how dare the child mention it rashly and touch your heart sad?"
As for why the name did not follow Gongxiang Zhuo, he could easily come up with the reason, "Zhuo'er is Hai'er's eldest son, and his biological mother is Niang Niang, and he and Hai'er are childhood sweethearts. Although there is a lot of grievances between each other now, after all, this child and other children are very different from each other. It's different. Therefore, Hai'er is selfish and doesn't want other children to be named after Zhuo'er."
What he said was reasonable. Although Queen Mother Yuan always felt that there was something wrong in her heart, she couldn't tell. She choked up for a while, and finally she was coaxed by him and Zhan Liu, and asked about Gong Xiangzhuo's posthumous title: "You What is the king name proposed for the child?"
"My boy wants to make him the King of Qi." This title is what Chunjia is thinking about now—he can't help it, he has no feelings for Gong Xiangzhuo, and he even feels angry with Yuan Niangniang, and even the name is to appease the Empress Dowager Yuan. Take it, let alone a knighthood.
But the title of King Qi is not bad.
After all, in ancient times, Qin, Jin, Chu and Qi were all well-known great powers. Since then, the canonization of vassal kings in the past dynasties, one character is better than two characters, and the four titles are the most important in one character king.
However, Empress Dowager Yuan was still a little sad, and asked him: "Will King Xu Qi be buried with the emperor's tomb?"
Chunjia didn't care about this kind of thing, in order to calm things down, she said without any hesitation at this moment: "All follow the mother."
"Forget it, after all, Zhuo'er has a shallow relationship with your father and son." The Queen Mother Yuan was still angry, but she didn't have any more reasons to make trouble, so she could only wave her hands, "Today is a good day for the two children, you go to Xuanqing Let Gong accompany them, the Ai family will not keep you."
But at this moment, in the Xuanqing Palace, Yun Fenghuang was looking at the palace servant in front of him, and smiled complacently: "Tell the Empress, I will definitely come to the appointment on time!"
Her planning these days was not in vain, as expected, Mrs. Ji couldn't hold back, and took the initiative to extend an olive branch of alliance - without Mrs. Ji's cooperation, it would not be so easy for her to kill Queen Mother Yuan by herself!
