Treacherous Living in the Imperial Harem

Chapter 248 Mother and Daughter Goodbye

Chapter 248

The fifth prince who was missed by Yun Fenghuang is still a baby in his arms, and he was sent to Yanfu Palace the next day after Gu Zhenshu.

Originally, Gu Zhen hoped to take over early, but the post-book ceremony was held in a hurry, and everything was not complete, and everyone was very busy. He was afraid that something would happen if the fifth prince was sent to Qiongfang Palace in advance, so he agreed. We'll talk about it after the book ceremony is over.

So the next day when Concubine De went to pay her respects, she brought him along.

Gu Zhen hugged him and was in a good mood, but knowing that Concubine De was from Yunfenghuang, he didn't say much, but gave a few general words of encouragement and rewarded him, and then he gave up.

Concubine De smiled forcedly until she resigned, and when she left Yanfu Palace, the corners of her mouth drooped uncontrollably. She really didn't care much about the fifth prince, after all, this child landed before she gave birth, and he was a prince. Even if no one said anything, Concubine De still felt that she was being compared by a concubine. Besides, she is young, she can still have children in the future, and the chance of having a biological prince is still very high, and she really can't spare the thought to love sincerely for the prince born by the Chen family.

But she didn't care whether she didn't care, and she still felt aggrieved after giving in to Gu Zhen.

This is different from Yun Fenghuang asking her in private if she was willing to part with the Fifth Prince. It was a very important time to fight for a way out for her mother and son, and there was no other way. But now, Chunjia is clearly living well, why should she make such a concession?

On the way, she told Bu chariot not to go back to Yijia Palace, but to go directly to Xuanqing Palace to visit Concubine Xian.

"Sister." Concubine De was in front of Concubine Xian, but Wei Hengyan never dared to offend Yun Fenghuang because of her status, and still kept a low profile posture, asking sadly, "Is sister okay now?"

Yesterday, at the Queen's Grand Ceremony, the new queen revealed the emperor's new love and old love in public, which attracted the attention of the palace.

Even many people from the previous court were watching.

As a result, Chunjia, who had always been partial to the concubine Xian, and Queen Mother Yuan, who had always been partial to Mrs. Chunke, remained silent.

And these two have been staying in their own palace all the time, as if they had acquiesced.

Concubine De couldn't help feeling a little uneasy, she didn't doubt that Yun Fenghuang would fall out of favor, but she was worried that Chunjia would give up Concubine Xian under the pressure of the previous court, so she wanted to inquire about some news right now.

Yun Fenghuang saw what she was thinking, and said slightly: "It's just a little ailment, yesterday was a good day for the next, I was afraid that it would be bad for her to bring sickness, so I didn't go. What's the matter? Everyone in the palace is very nervous now. Care about this?"

"...My sister is just worried that my sister feels wronged." This happened only the next day, and with Yun Fenghuang's prestige, it's not enough to say that someone would jump out and say something right now. Concubine De choked, and said just now , "After all, the empress has only just been registered. Treating my sister like this is really chilling."

Yun Fenghuang, who was eccentric at this, laughed, and calmed down: "As the saying goes, there are three fires when a new official takes office. The empress was originally in this palace. She is not as good as you and me in terms of status and love. Zha Deng High position, how can you not be a little uneasy? She will do this, I have already expected it."

Concubine De thought she was already making arrangements for Gu Zhen, she secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and said with a smile: "Then sister will just wait for the good news from sister."

Yun Fenghuang knew that she had misunderstood, but did not explain, smiled, and turned to ask the third princess: "Speaking of which, this time it is my palace that has dragged you mother and daughter down, and the third princess has not even lived a full moon."

"Sister, where is this? If there is no sister, how can we have our mother and son?" Concubine De is of course regretful in her heart. Even if she thinks that she will have other children in the future, the third emperor is the first flesh and blood. The birth mother should be the most honorable among the imperial daughters, but Chunjia has never paid attention to it since she landed, so can she not be wronged?

But this kind of grievance is not easy to tell Yun Fenghuang in front of anyone, after all, it is well known that Yun Fenghuang stayed with her for a day and a night to give birth, so he was taken advantage of and poisoned.

"When the third emperor's daughter is full week, I will definitely make good arrangements for you two." Yun Fenghuang promised, "Also, when you were pregnant before, this palace said that when you are confinement , I always need you to help share the palace affairs in this palace."

Concubine De certainly remembered what she said, but now it is different from before, before the middle palace was vacant, and the palace affairs were decided by Concubine Xian, she believed in Concubine Xian's promise.

Now Gu Zhen has filled the post, and on the first day of receiving the title, he expressed his dissatisfaction with Yun Fenghuang and Yuan Niangniang.

In this situation, I am afraid that Yun Fenghuang's own palace power may not be safe, let alone help her seize power?

She was worried that Concubine Xian would be embarrassed if she couldn't do it, so she declined, "My younger sister became a mother concubine for the first time, but she is far less thoughtful than my elder sister. I don't know what's wrong, but the three princesses have been making noise for three days, and now they are entangled. dead."

"Just ask the aunts and mothers who came over here." Yun Fenghuang waved his hand, "You and I know what kind of skills you will have in the future. She can care about her first house, but if she wants to take care of the sixth house, I'm afraid she won't be able to do it. Arrest. These two Japanese palaces are locked in the palace and it is difficult to get in and out. Where can Concubine Shan Rui come to assist me? Later, I will send someone to tell His Majesty to let you help Concubine Rui."

Concubine De was startled, surprised and frightened at the same time, and said: "It's just the Queen's place..."

"If she is capable, like the former empress, if she says she doesn't want to help, I won't be willing to step in and do it for you." Yun Fenghuang laughed and said, "But she is not, if you don't ask you people to help, it's hard to sit back and watch the harem chaos Do you want to make a mess for His Majesty?"

She patted Concubine De's hand, "Don't worry about it, everything is up to me!"

Yun Fenghuang said so and did so. After all, cultivating Wei Hengyan was something she decided early on, and she reported it to Chunjia in advance.

And Chunjia didn't have much sincerity towards Gu Zhen at first, whether she became the queen, or tacitly beat Yunfeng Huang and Yuan Niangniang the day after she became acquitted, it was nothing more than for the former dynasty.

As long as it doesn't affect the previous court, he doesn't even care about Gu Zhen's situation and fate.

Concubine De has a high status, has a royal daughter, is of good background, and her grandmother is the eldest princess of Dongxing. The most important thing is that the fifth prince who is in front of Gu Zhen was taken away from her lap!

With this in mind, Zhong Gong didn't want to embarrass her too much.

At least it's not easy to do so at the moment, otherwise Chunjia wouldn't have to come forward herself, Princess Dongxing alone would be able to seek justice for her granddaughter.

So within two days, Liugong was still wondering if Chunjia had given up on concubine favor in the face of the overall situation, and heard that Concubine De was assisting Liugong at the suggestion of Concubine Xian.

Gu Zhen's left and right were very angry about this, thinking that Chunjia really didn't care about her own mother, she was the kind who refused to even act like it, she simply wrote a deal... Gu Zhen was surprised: "This matter Did you just know? If His Majesty had feelings for us people, would he still be indifferent all these years?"

She was very tired from left to right: "Your Majesty, you have to find a way to change His Majesty's view of you, otherwise, if this continues, the limelight will pass, and I am afraid that Concubine Xian will still be our confidant."

"If I could win over the virtuous concubine in arguing about favoring me, I would not have degraded from the concubine Ying to my wife." Gu Zhen said honestly, "Didn't it be said in the art of war? To overcome the enemy's weakness with your own strengths, the virtuous The imperial concubine competes for favor so fiercely, even Yuan Niangniang is no match for me, so why bother me as an old man? I might as well live a good life and focus on raising my two children."

Left and right hate iron and steel: "If it can be like this, that would be great! The key is what did the former empress do wrong again? It is nothing more than the fall of the Ji family! You let His Majesty treat you coldly at this moment, thinking about those people, in the future... ..."

"Even if your majesty is thinking about me, do you think your majesty won't bear it if things get worse in the future?" Gu Zhen sighed, "Your majesty is so partial to the concubine Xian, but you see, the concubine De has come from behind, Concubine Xian It's still Concubine Xian, and you think that Concubine Xian is so competitive that she doesn't want to be a queen? But His Majesty did not follow her. It can be seen that although His Majesty likes her, he is not to the point of obeying her. You expect me to become Gu's worthy A person who can control His Majesty's attitude for a long time and a short time is too much to force others to do, and this is something that even a concubine Xian can't do."

He also reminded them that it was agreed at the beginning that if you are a queen, you should concentrate on being a queen, and fighting for favor is not within the scope of the prior agreement.

She doesn't have the patience either.

As for saving face...

To put it bluntly, in the days when Chunjia favored Yuan Niangniang in the front and indulged Yun Fenghuang in the back, didn't the concubines of the Six Palaces show their embarrassment enough times?

Even if she becomes a queen, Gu Zhen's mentality is very good, and she is not angry about Concubine De.

After all, before she came to power, she had thought that it was impossible for her to become an extremely majestic queen who was forbidden by the Sixth Palace.

So apart from the two special concubines that happened on the day of the post-canon ceremony, in the following days, apart from accepting the greetings, Gu Zhen devoted herself to raising the emperor's heir. have no idea.

But Yuan Niangniang and Yun Fenghuang never came to Yanfu Palace to pay her respects, and she had the right to assume that these two were always ill.

"Sometimes I can't bear to bully her when I see such a sensible successor." Yun Fenghuang said with emotion, "This is the master, if you don't fight, you fight!"

Of course this is just talk...

If Gu Zhen wanted to use this method to secure his position as the heir apparent, the fifth prince's future heir, he didn't even think about it.

Yun Fenghuang worked so hard to raise the eldest prince, not to leave a descendant for Concubine Shu.

It's just that the dusty Jiang family doesn't agree with her attitude: "Even if your majesty spoils you, you are still a legitimate empress, even if you are a successor, after all, you are a royal concubine. You are just a concubine. Why are you so arrogant and rude?" What good news is it? You see Mrs. Chunke is an example. She used to rely on the emperor's favor to bully the palace, but now she is down and out. How many people sympathize with her? You have to show that you care about your majesty and encourage her It’s not that there is no better way to show off in the future, so why ruin your reputation so much?”

"..." Yun Fenghuang bit her lip, and said angrily after a while, "Actually, it's not just for His Majesty to see, it's also because of my own displeasure: You said that he kept saying that he cared about me the most, why couldn't he break the rules and set me up?" Why? Even if the timing is not right now, it’s fine to just say something empty-handed to make me happy!"

"You weren't so hypocritical before, why are you so confused now?" Jiang said calmly, "How did I teach you before? This man is so excited, just listen to it. Your father, your brother, and the others were newlyweds. Who didn't swear and swear to be good to me and your sister-in-laws, and they will never change their minds in this life and the next life... But what? If the swearing is really effective like that, I'm afraid they will be crushed by a thunderbolt from the blue sky long ago! The world is as black as crows, and men in this world are pretty much the same, so if you listen to nice words and feel happy, don’t you think it’s stupid?”

He sneered, "The example of Mrs. Chunke is right in front of you, isn't it?"

Seeing that Yun Fenghuang's complexion was not very good, after a long time, his heart softened, and he slowed down his tone and comforted, "But your majesty does care about you, how wise and powerful he is, if he really wants to coax you, don't you know what you want to hear?" What? I didn't say that, so it can be seen that I treat you with sincerity, so I won't make random promises to you."

"Perhaps people's hearts are greedy." Yun Fenghuang pondered for a long time before sighing, "When I first entered the palace, I just wanted revenge. Later, I felt comfortable in a high position, and then I wondered what it is to hold the palace power in my hand. Taste? Later... I was thinking right now, I want His Majesty's favor, I want it sincerely, I still want status and power. Even..."

She stretched out her hand, her five fingers were slender and white - pink and tender like bamboo shoots, and she grasped them in the direction of Taichu Palace, and said with disdain, "I want all of these in the future of this kingdom!"

The Jiang family was not surprised. The well-known daughter, Mo Ruomu, was the one who brought this daughter into the family's full cultivation. She said very calmly: "Then you should know that you can't be willful. How many people have never achieved great things?" Do you want to do whatever you want before it is done? Especially since our family is poor and can't help you. "

"Isn't this counting the day when you and dad will arrive?" Yun Fenghuang smiled, put down his hands, leaned back, and said leisurely, "What kind of character am I? His Majesty has already explored the same in the past two years. I don't want to be wronged. Otherwise, I wouldn't have fought with Yuan Niangniang just after entering the palace. I want this post, and he knows in his heart that even if I suggested to him to establish Gu Zhen, Gu Zhen really accepted it. It's also impossible to be calm. Now that you don't mess around for a while, your Majesty is relieved, and you may feel that I don't have enough affection for him. So I made a fuss, now that you are here, mother, we have talked After this, I can go to look for him like last time, and look for the empress dowager to admit that I am not."

"It not only shows that I am aware of my mistakes and can correct them, but also that you are good at teaching my daughter... So who dares to think that I am not virtuous and virtuous, and who dares to doubt my daughter Xie's upbringing?"

Jiang Shi listened, his brows relaxed a little, and he said with a smile: "Finally, I have grown a little bit. It's just that this kind of method is still spoiled in the end. I'm afraid it will make people bored if I repeat it again and again."

"It won't happen in the future." Yun Fenghuang shrank his head guiltily, not daring to let his mother know, most of Chunjia's suspicions were because he didn't listen to her persuasion earlier, and talked a lot about his and Qi Jiulu's affairs. The provoked one coughed dryly, "By the way, I heard that Aunt Qin is also here this time, but I don't know how she is doing now?"

"What else can I do? The maid is gone, and your father..." Jiang frowned and sighed, "Now he looks haggard and looks a bit older than me, and his whole body is like a piece of wood , is no longer as agile and elegant as before. Therefore, we must be strong as women! You see, Aunt Qin, who was so tender and tender earlier, treated your father and the wind maid as life-roots-children, so the wind As soon as the servant girl leaves, your father will fall in love with you, and she will collapse immediately! Serving delicious food and drink, but also withering like flowers, so why bother? Although our family is not a wealthy family, she The person who gave birth to children for your father, how can I treat her badly in the future?"

Yun Fenghuang smiled and said: "You and father are coming to the imperial capital to take her with you, with such care, there are not many mistresses in the world."

"Isn't this for you?" Jiang said, "Your Majesty is a shrewd man. He won't know what's going on with the reputation we managed in the Northland? So it's better to bring someone under his nose." , to know the kindness and loyalty of our mother and daughter, so that he can feel more at ease with you!"

Otherwise, although she has no hostility towards the Qin family, she still has some sympathy, but she is not in the mood to drag him all the way to the imperial capital... What are you kidding, several of her own sons and grandsons are still in the north, and she will fall out of favor with her husband What's the matter with a concubine? Even Xie Jian Xinhuan didn't let her come along.

The mother and daughter looked at each other and smiled, Jiang asked her daughter again: "You keep Meng'er Kuo'er by your side, but what are your plans?"
