Chapter 68 The Emperor's Embarrassment

In the spring palace, Chunjia didn't know that his beloved concubine was already arranging for him after his death, so he waved back to the left and right, talking to the Queen Mother Yuan alone: ​​"...this plan comes from the concubine Xian, next, I have to rely on her for everything in the palace."

"This..." Empress Dowager Yuan frowned slightly, and said, "In the future, the emperor should go to the palaces of the Luo family and Ouyang family more often. The family and the Empress Dowager and other elders are rushing from the side, she is a young concubine, she is weak, how can she be comprehensive?"

"It's safer to support Luo's Ouyang's to help her."

"Concubine Xian is always sensible and never disappoints us at critical moments... Do you think she will disregard the overall situation for her own favor?"

Chunjia thought, I'm afraid Concubine Xian is so confident that she doesn't feel that she needs help at all.

If he supported Luo Hanyi and his like, he might be dragged into the enemy camp by Yun Fenghuang, and when he was fighting Ji, he would drag these people out to be cannon fodder.

But this is only from the perspective of the harem. Considering the previous dynasty, the favor of Luo Hanyi and others will inevitably increase.

Otherwise, how can I make my father and brother work hard?

So the Son of Heaven didn't go into details, just nodded slightly, and said: "I plan to discuss with Concubine Xian later, and find a reason to let Ouyang of the Luo family be promoted back to the concubine position."

Empress Dowager Yuan said: "There is no need to look for this reason, let them stay in the Spring Palace for a few days, and tell the outside world that serving the sick has merit."

"This is inappropriate." Chunjia secretly thought that the Empress Dowager Yuan's conflict with Yun Fenghuang earlier started when the queen mother openly supported Luo Hanyi. If this reason is used to restore the second concubine's status, Yun Fenghuang may be involved It seems that the resentment towards Queen Mother Yuan will be even higher.

Therefore, he hurriedly said, "There is no certain date for the mother to say that she is sick this time. If Mrs. Ji says that you are not well, the second concubine should not be credited. Isn't it just a waste of words? Let's find someone else."

Empress Dowager Yuan didn't think much about it, and agreed after hearing the words: "It's because Aijia didn't think carefully."

He also said, "It's just that there is only one person on the left and right of Ai's family. They say that they are ill because it is not good to show up in public. Your Queen Mother has raised the second prince and the third prince. She is so sick that she can't call Kunze a half-grown child." Go raise the prince. How to arrange the two children, you have to think carefully, don't fall into the hands of the Ji family, and use it for him!"

Seeing that Chunjia nodded in agreement, she hesitated for a moment, but she still said, "After Ai's family complained of illness, Concubine Xian must be busy. Can you take care of her pregnancy? Not to mention that after birth, there will be three imperial heirs, who will be taken care of by palace people, but the Ji family is deeply rooted in the harem. It's just from an ordinary family, I'm afraid... it's not Ji's opponent?"

Chunjia was embarrassed by these words.

He understood what Empress Dowager Yuan meant, that she wanted to move Mrs. Liang to another palace and let other concubines take care of her.

From the standpoint of the empress dowager, this is a matter of the best of both worlds. Anyway, Yun Fenghuang has both sons and daughters, and there is no need for heirs to favor him in a short time——Although the first prince is said to be recorded under the name of Concubine Shu, Concubine Shu It's gone, but it's actually not her son——Liang's child, it's better to hand it over to other concubines to take care of it. As well as various events after the emperor's heir landed, the emperor's heir can also receive the dedicated care of the mother and concubine.

However……

Yun Fenghuang definitely didn't think so.

Chunjia knew this concubine too well, and with her domineering nature, even if there was no shortage of imperial heirs under her knees, she would not take advantage of others.

Especially since Empress Dowager Yuan planned to do this with a good attitude for Yun Fenghuang, it was even more impossible.

After Yun Fenghuang found out, he might be able to jump up on the spot.

"It was also at the beginning that the Ji family forced me to promote this beloved concubine to a virtuous concubine." Chunjia sighed in his heart, otherwise he might be able to persuade Yun Fenghuang by using the promotion of the fourth concubine as a bargaining chip.

But now, there is no room for promotion in terms of status, even if the virtuous concubine is replaced by a noble concubine, after all she is still at the same level, Yun Fenghuang probably will not agree to hand over a pregnant concubine.

For other rewards, such as clothing and jewellery, where would Yun Fenghuang catch the eye?

Chunjia pondered for a while, and said: "The queen mother thinks, which palace is it safer for Mrs. Liang to arrange?"

Empress Dowager Yuan pursed her lips and asked her to choose, she definitely hoped to be arranged in Yanhong Palace.

After all, after Yuan Ziniang fell out of favor, Yuan Cistanniang didn't make a fuss, and the Yuan family can only count on Yuan Zhiniang now. However, Yuan Zhiniang is not favored by Chunjia, and the hope of conceiving an emperor's heir is far away.

Although it is not known whether Liang's womb is male or female, the emperor's heir is the emperor's heir, Yuan Zhiniang, or Yuan's current situation is not qualified to pick and choose.

But the queen mother also understood that Chunjia's question was tactfully rejecting Yuan Zhiniang's option.

It would be hard to say if she would persuade her a few words at ordinary times, and act both soft and hard, but this time, she was thinking about the safety of the emperor's heir.

Because if Mrs. Liang was sent to Yuan Zhiniang's palace at her insistence, Yuan Zhiniang and Queen Mother Yuan would not be able to explain if something happened.

... Maybe Chunjia would not argue with the Queen Mother Yuan because of the emperor's heir born by a concubine.

But Yun Fenghuang will definitely not let Liang's current position be resigned.

And how could the Ji family let go of this opportunity to add insult to injury?

"The ones that the emperor used in the previous dynasty, choose one that is prudent and sensible." Empress Dowager Yuan struggled for a moment, and finally chose Luo Hanyi, "For example, the daughter of the Luo family."

Chunjia said softly: "They all follow the queen mother."

He thought to himself that Luo Hanyi should be able to afford the price.

Well, it was the price for taking Mrs. Liang to Yanlan Palace to take care of her.

As for Luo Hanyi, it's not that he can't give birth, why must he pay a price to accept the pregnant woman in Xuanqing Palace... Chunjia thinks it's not difficult.

He has a lot of ways to make Luo Hanyi and the Luo family submit, and he is still willing.

Anyway, compared to Concubine Xian, this former Concubine Xuan is much easier to deal with...

Although the Empress Dowager Yuan only claimed to be sick, she was really tired after all the acting, thinking that she had nothing else to tell her, so she asked the emperor to go back to rest: "The emperor is busy now, so he has to take care of himself. "

Chunjia reported to leave the inner hall, but outside, Empress Ji and other concubines were still there, but Yun Fenghuang was not there, so she asked.

Empress Ji said: "The concubine saw that all the younger sisters came here, fearing that there would be no one to take care of Empress Qu's mother, so I invited my younger sister Xianfei to go."

"The queen is very safe, but I don't know if there is any news from Jiashan Palace?" Chunjia nodded slightly, "Forget it, I went to Jiashan Palace to see Mother Qu."

But before he moved, a figure flashed at the door, and Yun Fenghuang had already walked in. Hearing the words, he was blessed, and said: "Your Majesty, the Holy Mother and the Empress Dowager have taken the medicine and have rested. The concubine is watching, the Holy Mother and the Empress Dowager are very energetic." It's fatigue, I heard from the imperial doctor, it's because of a great stimulation, I'm afraid I have to rest for a long time."

Chunjia asked some details in a step-by-step manner, and just sighed: "Let the two mothers and queens have a good life and raise them, and other matters will be discussed with the ministers tomorrow."

Glancing at the empress, "The matter of serving the sickness is left to the empress, with the exception of Concubine Xian, Zhaorong, and Shun Jieyu, so that the two empress mothers will not have to worry about the emperor's heir when they are ill."

These three either have a child under their knees or are pregnant. Even if the concubines are envious and jealous, they can't say anything against it. The queen is the same. She nodded calmly and asked: "Since Queen Qu's illness, how about The second prince and the third prince..."

"Let's talk about it tomorrow." Chunjia said lightly, "Jiashan Palace has a lot of servants, and it's not bad for this night. It's so late now, Mother Qu just drank the medicine and fell asleep. You can't bother me for the sake of the two children, so that the queen mother will be disturbed even when she is ill."

Empress Ji quickly pleaded guilty.

Chunjia didn't even bother to punish her, and gave a few more instructions to serve the two empress dowagers well, and then left with the three concubines who were exempted from serving sickness.

After leaving the Spring Palace, Chunjia asked Wei Hengyan and Yun Qingman to be sent back to their respective residences, while he accompanied Yun Fenghuang back to the Xuanqing Palace.

"Your Majesty, the Empress Dowager is sick, and the two princes raised by her knees must have an explanation." Sitting down in the Huanhua Hall, after receiving the tea offered by the palace servants, Yun Fenghuang ordered the left and right to retreat, taking advantage of the Queen's just In other words, he said, "This matter cannot be delayed, it is better to make a decision immediately. Otherwise, the Ji family may take advantage of it... They started from the royal tomb and stumbled the two queen mothers. Get the second prince and the third prince back?"

Chunjia glanced at her and said, "Actually, it's not just the second and third princes who need to be resettled, but also the pregnant concubines. I'm afraid they are all being calculated."

For a while, Yun Fenghuang didn't think of Liang Shi, who had no sense of existence, but thought of Chunjia just letting Wei Hengyan and Yun Qingman do not have to wait for illness, and pondered: "Zhao Rong and Shun Jieyu are indeed younger... "

"The Liang family in your palace." Chunjia had no choice but to remind her, "Whether the offspring in her womb are male or female, did you ever know?"

"...The concubine didn't ask me." Yun Fenghuang was stunned for a while, and she arranged the whereabouts of the second and third princes in front of Queen Mother Qu. How could she turn around and arrange for pregnant concubines in her own palace? up?

Choking at this moment, Fang Jingxing asked, "Your Majesty suddenly mentioned her, could it be...?"

Chunjia coughed dryly: "I just thought that you might not have time to take care of her in the future."

How can Yun Fenghuang believe it: "There are too many good-looking and flattering concubines in the concubine's palace. This Liang family is not outstanding in it. If it weren't for Fu Ze's deep and deep pregnancy of the emperor's heir, the concubine would not remember this person very much .I'm afraid His Majesty thinks so too? No one has reminded her of her eyes, can Your Majesty remember her?"

"...Just say whether you want her to go to another palace or not." Chunjia didn't want to increase her anger towards Queen Mother Yuan, so she avoided answering, and said, "It will be beneficial."

Yun Fenghuang frowned, and said displeasedly: "What does Your Majesty think of me as a concubine?! Mrs. Liang came to Xuanqing Palace as soon as she entered the palace. It is not an exaggeration to say that she is the concubine's direct descendant! She is pregnant with children, Naturally, they are the children of concubines! Those ordinary people, poor and poor, can’t get rid of their families, and there are some who are reluctant to sell their sons and daughters! Let alone concubines?! Does your majesty think that concubines are the kind of people who will trade their children for benefits? !"

Chunjia was very ashamed when she said this: "I misunderstood my concubine Ai. I was thinking of the famous family of the Luo family. If my concubine is willing to send the Liang family to take care of her daughter, the Luo family can choose a daughter from the Xie family as a child." Wife, but since I love my concubine..."

"It turns out that this matter involves the previous court!" Yun Fenghuang's expression softened for a moment, and he said softly, "How can the concubine delay His Majesty's business? Needless to say, Your Majesty, the concubine will send Mrs. Liang to Yanlan later Gong! Well, Your Majesty, there are many sisters in the family of concubines, and there are many who are more talented than concubines. The son of the Luo family wants to marry, but he is not from the main family. He is highly valued, but he is too wronged by the sisters who are concubines!"
