Chapter One Hundred and Nine

Chunjia asked Gong Xiangxiao with a smile when he heard the words, "Which lady did uncle tell you about?"

Gong Xiangxiao said with a wooden face, "A few empresses came here to tease my younger brother, my father has never said such a thing recently."

Before Chunjia could say anything, he handed over his hand and resigned, saying that he still remembered something.

"Then you go." Chunjia said gently, "By the way, I remember that there are new bird's nests in the library, you can take some back and mend it for my little brother."

When Gong Xiangxiao left, he looked around and asked with a smile, "What's going on?"

It didn't sound like she was happy, Concubine Xuan immediately stopped talking, but looked at Yunfenghuang, implying that it was all caused by Yunfenghuang.

Yun Fenghuang smiled indifferently, and said: "What else can it be? Your Majesty hasn't come back for a long time. It's boring for the son to drink alone. Why don't you just talk to my concubine and Concubine Xuan Rui?" How many words? The concubines live deep in the palace, and what they can tell the prince is the matter of marriage."

He said again, "Young son is young and tender. Just now when Concubine Xuan Ruifei and the others introduced the ladies from various families to him, he said to stop talking, but he listened very energetically. Otherwise, the concubines would not be able to hold the eldest son together." keep saying this!"

Chunjia stroked the wine cup in her hand, and said with a smile: "I was delayed just now, and I am sorry for my concubines to greet my son on my behalf."

He punished himself with one cup, and then said in a slow voice, "It's time for the son to discuss marriage at this age, but his younger brother is a bit weak, and he has called the imperial physician twice recently. The regent and his wife can't take care of the son for the time being." Marriage. It is the son himself, who is concerned about this matter, and I am afraid that he has no intention of getting married."

Yun Fenghuang smiled a little, and said seriously: "So that's the case! The concubine and others lived in the palace, but they didn't know it. They thought it was just a trivial matter, so they just made fun of the important things in the life of the prince, but made the prince embarrassing... Please punish him!"

It seems that Chunjia has provoked the Prince Regent recently, and in order to prevent his uncle and nephew from falling out, he can no longer provoke that Gongxiang Ruoji for the time being.

She glanced at Concubine Xuan calmly, thinking that you were so happy to grab the conversation just now, you never thought that the emperor would not want to provoke the Prince Regent and his son now?

Concubine Xuan was a little annoyed by her look, but she couldn't say anything, so she could only substantiate in a low voice: "I know the crime, please be punished by Your Majesty."

Chunjia said: "It's not a big deal, but let me tell you."

Originally, the banquet was full of sevens and eights, and those who should be rewarded also got the rewards, so it is naturally over here.

On this day Chunjia naturally went to Yin Jian's, and when he returned to Bianyue Xiaozhu, the Qing people talked to Yun Fenghuang about Yin Jian's behavior: "It's really unexpected that this person will compete with the concubines on the same stage."

"Sooner or later, there will be something like this. It's not the Yin family or someone else." Yun Fenghuang said lightly, "Now it's not the same as before. In the past, the status in this palace was determined by family background. Now, family background is even more important. However, the emperor's favor is more important. Isn't this palace a clear example? As long as you figure this out, even a noble lady will not be able to hold back."

Moreover, "The Luo family, Ouyang family, Yin family, Meng family, and Yuan Zhiniang entered the palace at the same time, and Yuan Zhiniang is fine. If the Xingning uncle's mansion does nothing, relying on the loving mother, the empress dowager, there may be a successor." Possibly. But they kept being stupid, not to mention anything else, just talking about Sixth Sister, it shows that this family has more success than failure, and the Ji family did not misunderstand them at all."

"For such a natal family, His Majesty will never let Yuan's daughter have the opportunity to enter the central palace."

After all, Uncle Xingning's mansion is only the natal family of one of the three empress dowagers, so it is such a hindrance. If it becomes a descendant, and even becomes the natal family of the prince in the future, what kind of burden will it be?

This kind of incompetence will be a disservice, and they must not be allowed to occupy high positions.

Chunjia is very clear about this.

So don't say that Yuan Zhiniang is not very favored, even if Yuan Yiniang arouses Chunjia's affection for her youth, it is impossible for her to preside over the Sixth Palace.

"The first four are the euphemistic promises made by His Majesty and the loving mother, the Empress Dowager, that they all have the possibility of replacing Empress Ji."

Yun Fenghuang snorted and said with a smile, "But until now when they entered the palace, Concubine Xuan Rui took the lead by relying on her family background and temperament, and now the favored concubine mentioned in the harem, except for this palace and Concubine Xuan Rui, who still remembers Mrs. Manya With Yin Zhaoyi? If things go on like this, even if they think they can defeat me, it will be to the benefit of Concubine Xuan and Rui Concubine, so what's the matter with Guan Mengyouyi and Yin Xuan?"

"These two, if they don't want to lose sight of the concubines, how can they be silent?"

Not without surprise, she said, "At first, I thought Meng Youyi would act first. After all, Mrs. Meng seems to be a lively and playful character. Unexpectedly, Mrs. Yin is more open-minded."

The Qing people frowned and said: "Mother, the Yin family is young and well-born. Based on these two points, even His Majesty will give her some respect. Today, she will take the initiative to perform dances, and then go down with His Majesty to change clothes. I'm afraid... ...I'm afraid she was favored at that time. Now His Majesty has gone to her place, and as long as the Yin family takes the initiative to please her, His Majesty will hang around a lot."

"The servant girl knows that the empress is grand, so she often recommended the concubine to serve His Majesty before."

"However, Yin Zhaoyi is not comparable to a concubine after all. Your majesty has a heavy family background. For a beauty like Yi Shi, your majesty never told her to have the slightest delusion to go beyond the boundaries of concubines."

"If Yin Zhaoyi is favored just because of this, let alone other things, just say that if she becomes pregnant and gives birth to a prince, it may be detrimental to our eldest prince?"

Yun Fenghuang smiled lightly and said, "Don't you think Concubine Xuan Rui doesn't understand this truth? It's not Bengong who is most anxious right now."

She took a sip of tea, and said slowly, "In this palace, it's hard to win favors, keep pets, conceive, keep a baby, and give birth is even more difficult... Yin Zhaoyi has just stepped out of the first step to actively fight for favor... One step, there is still more to come."

"Concubine Xuan Rui is not stupid even though she is holding her hand."

"Look, from tomorrow onwards, this palace will be lively."

Actually didn't wait until the next day at all.

That night, under the pretext of a sudden pain in her heart, Concubine Rui sent someone to Yin Xiang's side and called her to her residence.

Concubine Rui's heartache didn't heal until the next day, so Chunjia stayed with her for three days in a row—the hearts of the people in the palace were fluctuating, and everyone tried their best to find reasons to pull people, but On the evening of the third day, Yun Fenghuang calmly asked someone to report to the emperor, saying that the eldest prince had a cough, and asked the emperor if he wanted to come and have a look?

All the flags and drums were silenced.

It's not to show that he attaches importance to the emperor's heir, but to be afraid of Yun Fenghuang's cruelty.

Who knows that if the eldest prince intervenes to prevent the emperor from passing by at this moment, will the eldest prince turn a small matter into a big one, and then be blackmailed by the concubine Xian?

This is someone who can do harm to herself. The eldest prince is neither her own, nor even recorded in her name. Why is she reluctant?

So Chunjia arrived at Bianyue Xiaozhu in the twilight.

Although he didn't pay as much attention to his own flesh and blood as outsiders thought, but he didn't take it completely lightly.

After entering the door and ordering the courtesy, he walked towards the house where the two children were housed, and asked Yun Fenghuang as he walked, "Why did you cough? But you caught a cold at night?"

She also took time out of her busy schedule to care about Concubine Chong, "Although it's summer, the mountains are different after all. Concubine Ai, don't be too greedy for the cold at night, and turn around carefully and have a stomachache."

Yun Fenghuang thanked him with a smile, and went in with him to see the two children, both of them were well-raised, white and tender, and they just drank milk, and they were sleeping soundly with their mouths pouting and fists clenched.

Both children are growing up well, Chunjia watched for a while, then quietly retreated back to the main hall, said with a sigh of relief: "I saw that they didn't cough when they fell asleep, it seems that the problem is not serious? What did the imperial doctor say? "

"The imperial doctor is here today to ask for a pulse." Yun Fenghuang waved his hand to let the waiter back down, and his tone became resentful, "They said that the two children are fine - the eldest prince coughed just now when the nurse was breastfeeding Yes, it will be fine after a while. The concubine sent someone to pass this word on, didn't he want to see if His Majesty still remembers the concubine and the three mothers?"

Chunjia didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and said, "It's all right for Yin and the others to fight, why did you come here?"

"I'm afraid that if I don't find a reason to invite Your Majesty, Your Majesty won't have time to come here." Yun Fenghuang said unhappily, "I know that I am not lucky enough to continue to have an heir for Your Majesty. Nowadays, there are not many royal heirs with noble mothers, and it is very wrong for the concubine to compete with Concubine Xuan, Yin Zhaoyi and the others, but His Majesty has not come for these days, and the concubine's heart is really tight... Besides, Your Majesty went to Concubine Xuan and Concubine Rui before. There are quite a few times, but they didn't give birth to His Majesty's children!"

Chunjia hurriedly put her arms around her and coaxed her: "Isn't this because their father and brother were going to be used by the previous court? I have to be more concerned about them? I was at Concubine Rui's place for the past three days because she was ill. You said there was something wrong here, but she hasn't recovered yet." , Didn’t I come to see you too?”

Yun Fenghuang pushed him, and said angrily: "Your Majesty came to see the eldest prince, why did you come to see the concubine? Doesn't he value the emperor's heir!"

"You have sent someone to say that the eldest prince has a cough. Why don't you check the situation first when I come? Otherwise, don't you want to suspect that I don't value your children?" Chunjia pinched her cheek and smiled. Said, "You, the one who picked me up in a different way!"

Yun Fenghuang snorted and said with a smile: "Where does the concubine have the guts? The concubine Xuan and Rui Concubine Yin Zhaoyi have such a noble background, even if her status is below the concubine's status, she has never taken the concubine's status seriously. This is even more important. Trying every means to please His Majesty, Yin Zhaoyi is even willing to perform dances for His Majesty despite the arguments of competing for favor with the concubines... I dare to pick on you, don't I? I dare not take this charge!"

Chunjia kissed her: "Here it goes again, every time you are upset, you like to say such irony."

"Your Majesty is by my side, what else is there to be unhappy about?"

"It's my fault, it's my fault that I haven't had time to come over these three days, and I haven't sent you a message to deliver anything." Chunjia admitted her mistake, "It won't be like this next time, okay?"

Yun Fenghuang thought about it for a while, and it was almost done, and if it continued, he was afraid that the atmosphere would be bad, so he put on airs and smiled slightly: "Your Majesty said this, I dare not be a concubine! You still want to be a concubine!" Here, concubine should be thankful! After all, concubine Xuan and the others have been in the palace for a full year, I am afraid that His Majesty will get tired of seeing it... Two days ago, Concubine Lin sent a newcomer Come on, don't you look more and more like a concubine?"

"The brows and eyes haven't fully grown yet, so what are you talking about?" Chunjia couldn't laugh or cry, "Stop saying such things, I've been with you for the past two days, huh?"

He did enjoy the contention between Yin Zhaoyi and Concubine Rui, who were noble concubines, but Yun Fenghuang had a special status. Now Chunjia's kindness to Luo Hanyi and others was mainly based on their father and brother's life. There is no special affection for the concubine herself.

Therefore, whenever Yun Fenghuang was jealous and acted like a baby, he coaxed him, but he was very happy in his heart, thinking that Concubine Xian still had her own in her heart.

So this day he stayed in Bianyue Xiaozhu as a matter of course, even if Concubine Rui sent someone over again, saying that their mother's heartache was even worse, Concubine Rui was lying on the bed dying, waiting for His Majesty to come and see Well... Chunjia met Yun Fenghuang's gaze with a smile that was not a smile, and told the visitor gently: "In this case, then quickly send someone to call a few more imperial doctors to show to Concubine Rui, I am here today. Concubine rest here, don't disturb her rest."

The visitor hurriedly said, "But..."

"But what?" Chunjia's complexion suddenly darkened, and she looked at him coldly.

Chunjia's reputation in the palace has always been lenient, kind and kind, so the palace people are not very afraid of him, and this little servant who spread the word dared to try to win for his mother - but the emperor is the emperor, seeing Chunjia turn his face at this moment, this The servant immediately prostrated himself on the ground, pleading guilty repeatedly.

Yan Yin looked at Chunjia's face, and told him to get out, and the servant stepped back as if he had been pardoned, and Yun Fenghuang only said with a smile at this moment: "But the heart of the concubine Rui is hurting, I'm afraid it's a heart disease that needs to be treated with heart medicine. , His Majesty has to be by your side all the time!"

Chunjia glanced at her when she heard the words, and was about to speak when she heard the concubine continue, "However, Concubine Rui is not the only one in this palace who has such a problem, and there is nothing wrong with my concubine at the moment. It will be easier to come with you."

"... When did you get this problem?" Chunjia took a sip of tea, the young emperor's eyes were dark, and he spoke with a smile, "I didn't know before, I'll let you take a good look at it later."
