Chapter 90: People From the East

"...Thank you for your kindness." Concubine Xuan and Concubine Rui murmured in their hearts, but they felt that Yun Fenghuang was not such a kind person. Well, considering the overall situation, she was not such a sensible person... But it sounds like she is very happy. With the tone of "If you refuse, it will be in my arms", but she still hastily agreed.

After all, their ambition is not just to be an ordinary high-ranking concubine, but to aim at that position.

How can you let go of the opportunity to get involved in the palace power?

Even if Concubine Xian had some conspiracy, wouldn't it be the same if she had no power in her hands?

Thinking of this, Concubine Xuan and Concubine Rui suppressed their doubts for a while, flattered them obediently, and then Yun Fenghuang threw a lot of chores on the spot and sent them to take them back for disposal.

He also told them not to neglect the care of the emperor's heir or the concubines who were pregnant with the emperor's heir because they were too worried about these things.

When this topic was mentioned, Concubine Xuan subconsciously said: "Counting the days, Shun Jieyu has almost given birth in the Imperial Capital, right? I don't know if it's the little prince or the little princess."

"It doesn't matter if it's a prince or princess, as long as it's strong and cute." Yun Fenghuang said indifferently, "There should be good news in two days, and we'll know when the time comes."

Perhaps it was because the three of them were either mothers or concubines about to become mothers and concubines. They talked for a while about the issue of the emperor's heir, but there was no silence at all. It is rare that some court sisters are intimate and enthusiastic.

Of course, after Concubine Xuan and Rui Concubine resigned and left, when she went back to her residence, she had to pull the staff on the left and right to rack their brains to guess Yun Fenghuang's thoughts.

"Actually, what's the point?" They were not the only ones who were puzzled, even Yun Fenghuang's servants couldn't figure it out, her own mother was always very strong, it was rare to have such a chance to monopolize power, why did she take the initiative to split it?

Especially here in the Xinggong, Yun Fenghuang didn't intervene in it, so he just dragged the second concubine, isn't that too generous?

Although they are very confident in their master's ability, they can't hold back the second concubine's background, and there are people behind her to support her.

What if the empress can't win them over?

But Yun Fenghuang just sneered at the attendant's thoughts, "Firstly, it's a hot day and I don't want to move even in the palace, so why not use the two ready-made coolies? Secondly, the loving mother Empress Dowager and His Majesty specially hired this The few people who came to the palace are not for display, and now they need their father and brother to work hard in the previous court, how can they be suppressed all the time?"

"Even if I don't bring it up, His Majesty will hint at it in two days."

"Let's talk about it first, anyway, it seems that this palace is open-minded and virtuous, doesn't it?"

The Qing people whispered: "But those two came from famous families, and there are a lot of talents in the dowry. If you practice now, when you go back to the palace, you may be a tiger."

"That can't be helped." Yun Fenghuang's tone was flat, "This is His Majesty's intention, and this palace can't disobey him now. Who told someone to have a good family background?"

The Qing people fell silent all of a sudden.

Yun Fenghuang didn't continue this topic, and asked, "Have you brought the words from Brother Twenty-One?"

"It's been taken over. After all, the 21st son has just entered an official position, and the wedding is coming soon. He didn't come to the palace at the moment, but he is still busy in the imperial capital." The Qing people calmed down and said, "Simply the elders in the family are coming one after another. Arrived, I can help, and I should be able to take advantage of Xiumu to come over in the middle."

Yun Fenghuang let out a "hmm", and then asked who the elders in the family were - she and Xie Wuzheng's grandparents were old, and they would definitely not leave easily.

After all, the hardships of traveling and traveling these years, that is, a middle-aged man would lose weight a couple of laps after running back and forth from Beidi to Dijing, so how could those two old people bear it? Don't make a mistake on the road and delay the grandson Shangzhu, it will be a lot of fun.

However, her uncle and aunt are still strong, and her legitimate son is married, and she is still the Lord, but she intends to come to the scene in person, and some people in other rooms will rush over to support her, and stay with her family in the imperial capital by the way.

Yun Fenghuang thought about the temperament and behavior of these elders for a while, and asked the Qing people to send a message to Xie Xiliu: "When the elders arrive, ask my aunt to bring the aunts and aunts into the palace to talk."

After talking about some trivial things like this, some palace people came to report outside, saying that the princesses came to see the emperor's heir again.

Princess Jinyun and Princess Penglai visited very frequently during this period, Yun Fenghuang thought they had to breathe a sigh of relief when they came to the palace, who knew that they would come again just after the luggage was put away after counting the time.

However, the two sister-in-laws and future cousins ​​were willing to get close to her, and she would not be disgusted, so she stood up to greet her.

The three went to the hall and took their seats together. Yun Fenghuang took a look and found that Princess Penglai looked a little unhappy, so she couldn't help asking tactfully.

Princess Penglai forced a smile and said, "It's nothing, but I was taken aback just now."

"My mother gave us a few cute civet cats yesterday, and one of them was wild and untamed, and almost hurt Penglai." Princess Jinyun explained on her behalf, "Fortunately, there was no danger, and the civet cat also died. Locked up."

Yun Fenghuang asked a few more questions, and confirmed that Princess Penglai was indeed just frightened and not injured, so he frowned and said, "Why does the empress dowager like civet cats so much?"

The point is, I haven't seen her go in and out and love civet cats so much, can't she?

Yun Fenghuang always felt that this matter was a bit weird.

"It is said that there are many snakes and insects on the mountain, so it is safer to let the civet cats follow." Princess Jinyun said, "It is true. In our house last night, a big moth flew out of nowhere, but Scared me and Penglai!"

"It's because the sweepers don't care." Yun Fenghuang said, "I will tell Concubine Xuan and Rui Concubine later, and ask them to supervise."

Princess Jinyun hurriedly said: "Actually, moths are nothing, they just flew out suddenly and caught you off guard. If you see clearly, you won't be afraid."

After chatting with each other for a while, the two princesses resigned and went to the next room to tease their nephews and nieces.

They insisted on coming to see the heirs because they took the initiative to show favor to Yunfenghuang, or Chunjia, but girls of this age still like children, especially those who are cleaned up clean, white and tender. A cute kid who smiles at everyone.

So now there is a bit of sincerity.

In particular, the longer Princess Zhaoqing is, the more she has the meaning that the green is better than the blue, and the two sisters are reluctant to let go every time.

On the other hand, Yun Fenghuang, firstly, has been very busy, and secondly, she can be seen whenever she wants, and although she is very satisfied with the appearance of the cheap children, she seldom hugs her personally.

Anyway, these two children don't have memory yet, so it won't be too late to pretend to be a loving mother when they grow up.

Concubine Xian thought very utilitarianly, right now she feels sorry for them as if they are darlings, but they won't be able to remember them in the future, right?

...The next day, an envoy from the imperial capital came to announce the good news to Chunjia, saying that Shun Jieyu had given birth to a son four days ago, and the mother and child were safe.

Chunjia didn't have any big mood swings about the news, but ordered the rewards according to the rules, but asked about the situation of the two empress dowagers in detail, and learned that they were still "too sick to get up", and even "the wife and concubine of Yiguo When entering the palace to accompany the delivery, if you want to greet safety, you can only kowtow at the gate of the palace", so I feel relieved.

"Your Majesty, do you want to mention Qingman's position?" Yun Fenghuang came over to congratulate him after receiving the news, and suggested, "Given her background, Jieyu's position is not considered high. Now The fourth prince was born, so there should be a reward?"

"After Xuan Concubine Rui Concubine regained her position, isn't there a vacancy for Xiu Yi Xiu Rong?" Chun Jia is not very sensitive to Yun Qingman's status promotion. After all, this father is loyal to him, the key is the concubine herself Cowardly and silent, that's not the kind of troublemaker.

Even if he gets promoted, he won't be like Yun Feng Huang, stirring up the whole palace.

Hearing this, he thought for a while and said, "Let's promote him to repair his appearance."

Yun Fenghuang smiled and thanked Yun Qingman on behalf of Yun Qingman. Seeing that he had many memorials on his desk, he was about to leave, but Yan Yin suddenly came in from outside and said softly: "Your Majesty, there are people from the east."

Chunjia immediately ordered: "Let him go to the back, I'll be there in a while!"

When Yan Yin went out to spread the message, he had no intention of hiding it, and explained to Yun Fenghuang, "He is from King Mao."

Yun Fenghuang hastily lowered his voice and asked: "But the heir has already...?"

"I was just letting someone know about it before." Chunjia mused, "This is the first one to send an envoy... You just sit here, and I will go back later."

He went away for a while and then came back, with no expression of joy or anger, and told Yun Fenghuang, "King Mao is willing to use Wan Jin as his fifth son to ask for the status of the heir of King Fuyang."

Like their titles, the King Mao lineage can be said to be flourishing.

This generation of King Mao may not have nearly twenty sons with his concubines and concubines, and there are seven sons alone.

The reason why the fifth son was chosen to succeed the King of Fuyang was because the wife of the fifth son was from a wealthy family, and the ten thousand gold promised by King Mao was almost all from the Yue family—after all, although the Prince Mao’s mansion was not poor, , but with so many heirs, how many are divided among individuals?

It is absolutely impossible for the public to pay this account.

"Although there is a lot of gold, how can Wang Jue wait for nothing? This King Mao is so dishonest!" Yun Fenghuang frowned slightly, "What's more, since you rely on Yue's family to collect a lot of money, once the adoption is over, don't you want to get it back even more? "

"And since there is already a Yue family and they are getting older, it is not conducive to cultivating relationships with the two empress dowagers?"

This kind of thing is ignorant - thinking about Wang Linglai, his ancestors in the family have never been an official, and he knows who to turn to for such a matter that the emperor can decide with one word.

King Mao actually sent someone to look for Chunjia without saying anything, he didn't mean anything to her as a favorite concubine, tsk tsk.

Is this when her Concubine Xian does not exist?

Chunjia said noncommittally: "Wait a minute, after all, the fiefdoms of King Zhou and King Han are far away, so there may not be no news coming back."

After all, he is the emperor, he personally sent someone to offer an olive branch, even if the other party didn't want it, he definitely didn't turn a blind eye and didn't even give a reply.

The candidate for King Mao is not very suitable, and there may not be better candidates for the other vassal kings.

Yun Fenghuang also thought so, and comforted him: "Your Majesty said that there are many vassal princes in the country, and it is impossible for all of them to be confused and not count."

With so many vassal kings, it's not like everyone doesn't know how to find me to do business?
