Treacherous Living in the Imperial Harem

Chapter 264: Emotion and Reason

The next day was the day when the wife was ordered to enter the palace, and Xie and the others tacitly found an excuse to avoid it after greeting her, so that it would be easier for Jiang to talk to Yun Fenghuang and his mother.

Jiang asked about her daughter's recent situation, and when she learned that the eldest prince would shout, she laughed: "You look like you are still standing in front of you, and your son will be able to speak in a blink of an eye."

"The Eldest Prince is not my son." Yun Fenghuang corrected her, "He is the son of Concubine Zhenxi Shu, the grandson of Duke Yi's Mansion!"

Mrs. Jiang said disapprovingly: "When he landed, the grass on Concubine Zhenxishu's grave might have grown. You are the one who actually raised him, how can you let him get close to Mrs. Yun? Since he has a heart For you, you should treat him as your own flesh and blood."

He also asked if the eldest prince's biological mother was safe?

"The Zhao family and Zhaoqing's biological mother Yi family are both sensible." Yun Fenghuang said, "Otherwise I wouldn't let them take good care of them."

"Even so, you have to be careful." Jiang said earnestly, "The royal family is different from ordinary people. At the beginning, I treated Feng Huan as my own. On the one hand, the Qin family is sensible, but on the other hand, the Qin family is favored again." , the background is there, it is impossible to threaten our mothers. Besides, there are brothers like you under my mother's lap, but the Qin family only has one daughter. Based on this, the Qin family will make your father obsessed again. What's the use? If the Qin family still had a concubine, I might not be as concerned about Feng Huan. Although there has been no reason for a concubine to surpass a concubine for several generations in our family, who knows if your father will be coaxed to be happy? Share the benefits that should have belonged to your fellow brothers?"

"Looking at the two empress dowagers in the palace today, they both said that your majesty respects and filially loves the empress dowager more than her own empress dowager Qu. But empress dowager Yuan has worked so hard to cultivate him, isn't empress dowager Qu enjoying the benefits of being a biological mother? "

"Your Majesty seldom goes to Jiashan Palace, but when he asks for supplies, has Jiashan Palace ever been wronged?"

In short, what Jiang shi means is that even though Zhao shi and Yi shi are very sensible and well-behaved, being the biological mother of the emperor's heir is a hidden danger.

It is better to kill them quietly.

In this way, the emperor's heir will not have any thoughts when he grows up, so that he can treat Yun Fenghuang wholeheartedly.

Yun Fenghuang smiled lightly, and said: "That's not necessarily true, the flesh and blood of my own flesh and blood still eat inside and out, let alone I am not their biological mother? But there are many people in my palace, and there must be no less children under my knees in the future." .At that time, no matter whether the children are really filial or not, they will have to coax and hold me. Otherwise, I can pull them up to the clouds, and I can also make them roll down into the mud!"

Anyway, both the First Prince and Princess Zhaoqing were still young, Jiang Shi thought about it, and felt that there was no need to be urgent, so he didn't continue to persuade, but talked about some trivial matters, such as the little Chen who was born at the end of last year , it’s a girl, and Jiang’s name was chosen by her... Originally, when Xiao Chen was pregnant, she wanted to ask Yun Fenghuang to pick it up, but when the child landed, her parents-in-law and mother-in-law came, and she couldn’t say that she would go beyond her parents-in-law to entrust her sister-in-law. I can smile and watch my mother-in-law name this little granddaughter Xie Bao.

"Bao'er was born a bit like you, but not as similar as Meng'er." Jiang said, "I told your sister-in-law, this child must not be spoiled like her sister. Meng'er is jumping away now." Too much, since you want to be raised by your side, you still have to give some rules. After all, the family can't help you anymore, so you can't let the children cause you trouble. Your brothers and sisters-in-law are all understanding people. You go ahead and give them a long memory, their parents will definitely only agree."

"Although Meng'er escapes, he still has a measure." Yun Fenghuang shook his head and said, "Mother, don't worry, I haven't seen any battles in the palace these days, and I can let my niece trick me?"

After a pause, she asked, "Are you and dad leaving in a few days?"

Jiang sighed: "Your grandmother is getting old after all, so she can't keep bothering her old man."

"Aren't there elder aunts and the others at home?" Yun Fenghuang endured it, but finally he couldn't hold it back, and said, "Since all the cousins ​​have come to the Imperial Capital, there is a room in our family who has come to settle down, so must the grandparents too. Will you agree? Can mother stay with father? I will buy property for you, and I promise it will not be worse than the one at home."

"I know you are filial." Jiang stared at her, "But it doesn't have to be. You think you are in the palace, even if we are in the imperial capital, we actually don't see you a few times a year. And you started as a concubine, and you are pulling Xie's side It's not just once or twice. Outsiders already think that Mrs. Xie relied on you to make a fortune. Of course, this is true. But this is not good for Mrs. Xie and you. It seems that Mrs. Xie has no ability, and it also seems that you are too Partiality is unfair. If you just want to be a favorite concubine, it's nothing. But I know you won't be willing to stagnate in your current position, how can your reputation be too bad at this time?"

"Last year, I made an agreement with my family that those of us who are elders will not come to the imperial capital, and let your brothers serve the imperial court."

"In this way, the high-ranking families in the imperial capital can breathe a sigh of relief, and they won't work together to embarrass our family. It will also allow you to say in front of His Majesty: You are just a virtuous person who does not avoid relatives. If you really want to benefit your mother's family regardless, do it Why not let the family move to the Imperial Capital?"

"I know His Majesty treats you very well now, but how long have you been in the palace? How old are you? Ten or eight years, who knows what will happen."

"It's better not to fall into the trap if you can not fall into the trap."

Yun Fenghuang was silent for a long time before sighing: "En."

In fact, before she opened her mouth, she expected that the Jiang family would not agree to stay. In addition to the possibilities mentioned by the Jiang family, there is another reason why the mother and daughter have a tacit understanding: Xie's background is shallow, relying on the favor of the concubine. If you start a family, once the favorite concubine you rely on falls, the whole family will inevitably end badly.

Now it is just to let the children who are nominated on the gold list enter the official position, and then bring some young relatives over as wings, even if it is all lost, the family can afford it.

But if all the clans come to the imperial capital, they will be next to the big tree of Concubine Xian.

Once the tree falls, the Xie family is also finished.

How could a family whose ancestral precepts run a long course of water take such a risk?

"...Don't provoke that Princess Weihe too much in the palace." After a period of relative silence, Jiang slowly said, "It seems that Weihe's side is indeed not very peaceful, and I don't know if it will affect the imperial court. At this time, the identity of the princess is a little sensitive, and she can't do anything to you, so why do you have to fight against her?"

Yun Fenghuang sighed: "It's not that I have to fight against her, it's that I can't be calm about every new and old love of Your Majesty!"

After all, she loves Chunjia. As far as Chunjia understands her nature, she is definitely not the kind who loves a man but can still watch him pamper others, whether it is out of the heart or for the sake of the overall situation, but remains indifferent and saddened. Master.

She has to find trouble and make trouble, so that it appears that she is sincere.

Otherwise, Chunjia would definitely suspect that Yun Fenghuang didn't value him the most.

There is no way, the sins I have done before, I can only pay back by myself now.

"You can say it." Jiang shi pondered for a while, and said, "It's what I mean. Don't you always listen to me? At least in front of His Majesty and the Empress Dowager."

Yun Fenghuang said: "Then I will restrain myself. However, although that princess can't do anything to me, she is always thinking about how to block me. If it is not for Wei He's sake, it is like this, I will not will keep her alive."

"Don't be so ruthless." Jiang said disapprovingly, "I taught you this when you were at home? Do everything by yourself, in case others don't fear and bore you? Can't you borrow a knife to kill and let others do it?"

"..." Yun Fenghuang was speechless, and said, "Well, I know these things, so don't worry about it."

Jiang Shi sighed: "What you say now is to let me not worry about it. In fact, I also know that you can go to this day by entering the palace suddenly. Not only is it useless to help the family, but it has also helped the family a lot. It can be seen that there is no need for me to help the family." You came up with the idea. But how can a mother not worry about it?"

Yun Fenghuang really wanted to say, why can't you stay because you are so worried? The family disagrees, but if you insist on staying for me, do they still dare to tie Concubine Xian's mother back?

But she clearly realized that the Jiang family must love her, after all, she is Jiang's only biological daughter.

But Jiang is not her only mother, she has many sons, grandchildren and grandchildren.

It is impossible to go all out for her and ignore it.

This made Yun Fenghuang feel very melancholy.

It's like going back to childhood, realizing that she is not the only Jiang family who treats her like a daughter, realizing that Xie Fenghuan's existence has taken away how much love, attention, food, housing and transportation from her, and realizing that she is not the only one who has been taken care of in such a big family.

I understand the truth, but I am not convinced.

Maybe everyone who is spoiled is like this. They are used to monopolizing, and they are no longer willing to share.

So even if everyone said that Chunjia was kind to her, she knew that even if Chunjia was caring for her, it was still impossible for her to trust and rely on him very much.

After all, no matter how neglected Sangong Sixth Courtyard was, it really existed, as well as those imperial heirs who were in his blood but had no blood relationship with her.

Yun Fenghuang was in a low mood for a long time after Jiang's departure that day, and the news spread to Taichu Palace. In the evening, Chunjia had promised to go to the Queen's to see the fifth prince, but because the fifth prince had a cough, he broke the appointment and went to Huanhua Palace: "Madam Jiang came to see you in the palace today, aren't you happy?"

"They will leave in two days." Yun Fenghuang said listlessly, "Now that we're gone, we don't know when we will meet next time."

Chunjia comforted: "Maybe the end of the year will come again."

Yun Fenghuang forced a smile and did not speak.

Seeing this, Chunjia changed the topic, and said, "I heard that Rang'er can call someone? Can he call father?"

"I've been teaching for the past two days." Yun Fenghuang said, "But I still only call me."

"Why don't you teach him to call Father Emperor first?" Chunjia teased her with a smile, "That's what other palaces taught first."

Yun Fenghuang said: "They always think that you will treat them and their heirs badly, and I don't have such doubts about you. Why do you want to do this? They didn't specifically tell the servants, because they often Come to me to report, naturally I think I should teach my concubine first to please me."

After thinking about it, he added, "Actually, the First Prince should call me Concubine Xianmu, but he is young, so let's teach him that first. When he grows up, he will naturally understand the difference."

"Actually, it's pretty much the same. Anyway, you raised him." Chunjia comforted, "No matter whose name it is in, it is actually your son."

Yun Fenghuang was too lazy to talk about this topic with him, so he turned around and asked, "How is the sixth prince these two days? Actually, I wanted to go to the Huzhu Palace to see it myself, but I thought Mrs. Chunke had fainted before, don't let me What's wrong with her after going, blame it on me."

In fact, Chunjia hadn't been to the Huzhu Palace during this period of time, and had only given rewards a few times.

Originally, he didn't have very deep feelings for his own flesh and blood. The sixth prince, who was born prematurely like King Qi, even with the saying "seven lives and eight don't live", who knows if he will definitely survive?

So it's better not to worry about it, and wait until the child is sure that he can grow up.

Otherwise, wouldn't it be a waste of his energy and feelings.

But as the emperor, the Empress Dowager Yuan hoped that the children under Yuan Niangniang's knees would be closer to him, so she would naturally report the news to him all the time.

At this moment Chunjia said: "It is said that it has grown a lot, it doesn't look like a premature birth, but it is getting stronger and stronger."

When he said this, he was very calm, the kind of calm that didn't care much and didn't trust much.

Because who knows if the Empress Dowager Yuan lied to him in order to coax him to get close to the sixth prince...

"That's good." Yun Fenghuang nodded slightly and said, "I remember when I first entered the palace, the palace was deserted and there was not even a single heir. Now you have only six princes under your knees, and there will be more in the future." Much, it’s only been two years, it’s really gratifying!”

Chunjia said softly: "But you and I don't have any children, so you have to take good care of them."

"Talk to you properly." Yun Fenghuang hit him angrily, "You suddenly say such things!"

The two frolicked for a while and settled down.

... In the middle of the night, Chunjia fell into a deep sleep, but Yunfenghuang opened his eyes, looked at the birth of the tent, with no expression on his face.

Chunjia knew that she couldn't bear to be separated from her biological mother and biological father for a long time, but she didn't mention letting Jiang and the others stay in the imperial capital. It can be seen that Jiang's previous statement that they went back to the Northland was beneficial to Yun Fenghuang, and it was also true.

He likes her, is willing to favor her, and is willing to pretend to be deaf and dumb in many things for her.

But at the same time, he was also on guard against her.

Perhaps this kind of defense is not aimed at Yun Fenghuang, but Ji's past mistakes. He doesn't want to let any hidden danger develop, and would rather cut it off from the source.

From the standpoint of the emperor, there is nothing wrong with this. After all, the two generations of emperors, Xiaozong and Chunjia, suffered a lot from the Ji family. So far, Chunjia is still trying his best to get back the power that the emperor should have. Brains.

If you don't guard against the concubine's relatives because of this, then you are not brainless.

Compared with the dignity of the emperor, his defense can be regarded as gentle, but for Yun Fenghuang, it means that it will be difficult for her to get the sense of security she thinks.

She lowered her eyes and stroked her belly, her eyes flickering.
