Chapter 265: Twelfth Floor Full of Make-Up, Wangxian Upstairs
Chapter 265 The twelfth floor is full of make-up at dawn, and the Wangxian Tower is looking at the king.
Since the sixth prince landed, all the news about the premature prince from the Dendrobium Palace is good.
For example, the cry is loud, the appearance is like Chunjia, the hands and feet are vigorous when kicking, and the growth is fast... Only three or two months ago, it was announced that there were no traces of premature birth.
In short, it has strong vitality, which shows the profound blessings.
Liu Gong has some doubts about this.
But the prince is still alive... So after paying attention for a while, and confirming that the prince will not die for the time being, everyone doesn't worry about it anymore.
After all, there are three princes and five princes under Zhonggong's knees, and the eldest prince is recorded under the name of Concubine Shu and Concubine Xian, the de facto mother concubine.
In the blink of an eye, it's summer, and the first prince, second prince, third prince and Princess Zhaoqing have all started learning language and walking.
Children at such a young age are the funniest time. They have certain mobility but are not so mischievous that people want to beat them. Even though Chunjia doesn't pay as much attention to them as outsiders think, she is willing to get along with children when she comes to the harem There is also more time.
Due to the backgrounds of the second prince and the third prince, there is no doubt that the eldest prince and Princess Zhaoqing are unabashedly favored by the emperor.
Although the twin princes were also very cute, Chunjia basically would not take the initiative to get close to the two sons, even if she watched from a distance, she would walk away after a while at most.
"Your Majesty, don't be sad. Your Majesty did this for the benefit of the two princes." So the Queen and Concubine Rui were persuaded by left and right, "After all, they have such biological mothers. The Ji family used to overwhelm the Sixth Palace. How many people in this palace do not know?" Do you hate it? Especially when the two empress dowagers are still here. Even if there are empress dowagers, if your majesty shows pity for the second and third princes, it will probably cause a lot of suspicion, which will be bad for the two princes!"
Concubine Rui is also alright, she is young and can give birth by herself, so to be honest, she doesn't pay special attention to the second prince who came to her door.
Chunjia didn't like this son very much, she sighed on her face, but this kind of sigh was mainly to prove that she was a gentle and kind concubine, in fact, she didn't take it seriously at all.
After all, the emperor likes the eldest prince and Princess Zhaoqing very much, and now he loves the second prince like a treasure. When she is born with his own flesh and blood, will the emperor still have the energy to take care of her?
She can't compete with Concubine Xian. It's okay if the emperor doesn't like the second prince. If she likes her, she has to find a way to make him fall out of favor.
Hearing the words, he readily accepted the enlightenment from the people below, and then said a few words that His Majesty would not understand even Ben Gong who really doesn't care about his own flesh and blood... so he gave up.
It was Queen Gu Zhen who was restless.
"But His Majesty often visits the Eldest Prince and Princess Zhaoqing. It's fine if Zhaoqing is a girl. The Eldest Prince...that's His Majesty's eldest son!"
"So what about the eldest son? Concubine Shu and Xianfei are only concubines after all, and you are the main palace! The third prince who can't be favored is also under your knees. As for the fifth prince, this is the prince you wrote down after you became the middle palace. It's the son of a concubine! As the saying goes, if you have a concubine, you will establish a concubine, and if you don't have a concubine, you will grow up. What is it to have five princes in the eldest prince?"
But the left and right said so, and I was still a little worried that Chunjia Yuji Yunei would abolish the public for personal reasons, so he said to Gu Zhen: "Fortunately, the fifth prince is not much younger than the first prince, and children grow up very quickly. In the same way, in a few days, our fifth prince can walk and run, and then we will teach him to get close to His Majesty. After all, His Majesty does not need to have any knots or concealments for the Fifth Prince. When the Fifth Prince grows older, it is up to His Majesty. Teach it yourself, and you will become a qualified prince in the future!"
In such whispers, Jin Feng of the harem was also put on the agenda.
In fact, this matter has been mentioned a long time ago, but there has been some controversy about the specific position, and it has been delayed until this time.
There is no problem with the promotion of Yun Fenghuang's imperial concubine, the concubine of some low-ranking concubines, and the promotion of the old people. The key is the fourth concubine.
Two of the four concubines are now occupied, Concubine De and Concubine Xian.
When Yun Fenghuang was promoted to the imperial concubine, there were still only two vacancies, Concubine Shu and Concubine Xian.
Before Gu Zhen discussed with Yun Fenghuang, it was Concubine Rui and Rou Kun Zhaorong.
But Yun Fenghuang and Concubine De demoted Rou Kun's first four concubines to Zhaorong, so they didn't intend to make her the fourth concubine, so they proposed to let Yin Xuan make it up.
The Yin family behind Yin Xuan knew that she would not help for nothing, but she was still willing to contribute for her daughter.
So there was a stalemate.
As a result, not long ago, Zhaoyuan Yuan Zhiniang also had a happy event!
Although the most beloved niece of Empress Dowager Yuan is undoubtedly Yuan Niangniang, Yuan Zhiniang is also a biological niece, and unlike the sixth prince, if Yuan Zhiniang's child is born, it is also of Yuan's blood.
How could Empress Dowager Yuan not sideline her?
At that time, she gave Chunjia a tactful hint, hoping that Yuan Zhiniang's status would be mentioned.
For example, isn't the position of the fourth concubine still vacant?
Chunjia originally agreed to let Yin Xuan go to bed, but this...
It doesn't matter to him if he wronged Yin Yan or even the Yin family, the key is that neither the queen nor the concubine want Yuan Zhiniang to be promoted to the fourth concubine.
After all, this kind of master with a strong background needs to be treated with care. After climbing to a high position, wouldn't it be more and more difficult to achieve a big end?
In the end, under the mournful cry of Empress Dowager Yuan, Chunjia still compromised, and the price was to give the eldest prince and five princes the title of king in advance as a show of favor, in exchange for the adoptive mothers of the two princes not objecting to Yuan Zhiniang's succession of Yun Fenghuang as a virtuous concubine.
But this king made the queen angry again: "The eldest prince is the king of Qin, but the fifth prince is only the king of Chu...Does your majesty have any distinction in his heart?"
Although Qin, Jin, Chu and Qi are all national titles of powerful countries in ancient times, they can be regarded as king titles on a level. But because it is Qin who ultimately dominates the world, generally speaking, King Qin is the best among the tacit vassal kings.
"Young lady, you think, the fifth prince is the son of the eldest son, and he will be in charge of the East Palace sooner or later. What vassal king can be better than the prince?" Left and right could only continue to persuade, "The current king title is just used casually, why should we care about it?"
There is no way, the emperor has little affection for the empress, if they go to the emperor to argue about such a matter, there is a high probability that Chunjia will mark them down severely even if they compromise.
If you go to the eldest prince, the danger is higher than looking for the emperor...
I can only bear it.
After two years of patience, the officials proposed to establish a crown prince, and the fifth prince will be appointed as the crown prince.
Gu Zhen reluctantly accepted the proposal.
But in fact, Yun Fenghuang, the adoptive mother of the eldest prince who she thought had a good title, was not happy: "The eldest prince is the son of an emperor, and it will be a matter of time before he is crowned king. Is it a benefit to give away what should have been given? "
After all, she is a favorite concubine, and Yun Fenghuang complained directly to Chunjia.
Chunjia was not angry either, and put her arms around her to coax her: "The position you don't want is just for Zhaoyuan. You also know that the Yuan family's unpromising children now, and the queen mother didn't deliberately favor Yuan's daughter, but mainly because she was worried that after she went, The Yuan family will decline. Now that Chunke has a prince and Zhaoyuan has a concubine, it is not good for the queen mother to make too many demands on them, isn't it good?"
Yun Fenghuang thought to himself, who can the Yuan family blame for their inability to teach their children?
She would not sympathize with Xingningbo Mansion.
"This is what your Majesty said." She snorted softly, "Turn around, the Empress Dowager is looking for people like us again, you have to say something fair!"
Chunjia's repeated promises... Although both parties knew that this kind of guarantee was not very reliable, after all, it was not the Queen Mother Yuan's personal guarantee, but after playing around for a while, the matter passed.
In a few days, a ceremony was held in the palace, and a group of concubines were presided over by the empress to be canonized and promoted.
In this Jinfeng ceremony, the promotion from Concubine Yunxian to Concubine Min is not the most eye-catching, but the most attention is a group of concubines: as the actual first proposer and the status of favorite concubine, The people in the Yunfenghuang Palace are undoubtedly the most advantageous. Yi Xingen is registered as Xiuyi, Qu Hongzhuan is Xiuyuan, and those in other palaces are favored or not favored. In short, they are all loved by the lord. The concubine boundary, the concubine is registered as Jieyu, and presides over the first palace!
While everyone in the harem was cheering for this grand event, the former dynasty had mixed feelings.
If it is said that Concubine Yunfenghuang was able to take advantage of the situation cruelly, and she was able to make an exception because she had the status of "Daughter of the Yun family" and was also a member of noble girls hired into the palace in name, This time, more than a dozen concubines have been named concubines, but it means that in the past when the Ji family and other powerful officials were in power, the harem distinguished superiors by family background, noble daughters were arrogant and unscrupulous, while poor daughters crawled tremblingly under their embroidered skirts. away.
Even though the list of promotions this time is mainly drawn up by the empress and the concubines, the emperor has not expressed any opinions, but...
If possible, who would be willing to promote someone to share the nobility and honor of today with him?
Letting Yi Xingen and other concubines with low backgrounds be promoted to the throne not only enriched their own wings and suppressed future rivals, but also because everyone realized in their hearts that the harem was no longer a time for family-only. Whether their status is high or low depends on the emperor's favor!
Perhaps "once elected to the king's side, all sisters and brothers will be exiled".
It is also possible that "all the brothers' seals and ribbons have been taken away, and the rewards of the past will no longer exist."
... The sound of festive music spread far away to Qingci Palace, the Empress Dowager was silent for a long time, and said: "Open the window, let Aijia listen more kindly."
Afraid of her feeling uncomfortable, Left and Right asked in a low voice: "Your Majesty, will the servants go and make them quiet?"
"No need." The Empress Dowager was very calm, she didn't mean to be angry or sad, she said leisurely, "Since the late emperor left, the palace hasn't been this lively for a long time. The Ai family really wants to listen, you go open the window, Ai family No problem."
The first emperor she was talking about was of course Shenzong.
When it comes to Shenzong, the palace servants who have been with her for many years feel uncomfortable.
If Emperor Shenzong was still alive, who would dare to treat the Empress Dowager like this?
She walked over silently and opened the window, the music became louder, and the tune could be vaguely heard.
The Empress Dowager seemed to be in a good mood, and hummed a few words along with the tune, then suddenly said: "The Ai family remembers that when Chunjia ascended the throne and got married, there was also this song at the wedding banquet."
"Yes, at that time the Secretary of the Jiaofang rehearsed for several days." The servant didn't know what she was thinking, and said cautiously, "The dance clothes are also specially made, and they are very beautiful."
"But Chunjia didn't have the heart to look at it at all. He, sitting on the throne, felt as if he was sitting on pins and needles. From time to time, he turned his head to look at Yuan's and Qu's." The Empress Dowager narrowed her eyes and smiled shallowly, "As if It's as if the two of you can save him... At that time, Sheng'er told Ai's family that the new monarch has no appearance of an emperor, but looks like a child."
The valet wanted to say something and held back.
The Empress Dowager didn't care, and continued: "At that time, the Ai family also thought so, but at that time, whether it was the Ai family or the Ji family, didn't they just need a child who had no ideas, skills, and temper? So Looking at him, I am very satisfied, and I even think that his virtuous reputation in Fuyang County was managed by the Yuan family for him, as for himself, it is just in name only."
The impression at the wedding banquet made them preconceived, and they subconsciously underestimated the young vassal king of Yuanzhi who came from afar.
Afterwards, Chunjia was gentle and gentle, almost indecisive, and she unabashedly favored Qingmei Yuan Lianniang, which made them disdain and displease her, and felt that the emperor would not pretend... After all, if he is ambitious, he must at least pretend to be grand. Doting on Ji Lingzi will paralyze Ji's family?
But he didn't.
His unprincipled preference for the unreasonable Yuan Niangniang made Ji dissatisfied and at ease.
At the wedding banquet of the emperor and queen's wedding, the young vassal prince who was anxious and unassertive wished to ask his aunt's biological mother for help on the spot... This impression deepened and deepened time and time again.
Looking back now it's ironic.
If Chunjia was really so terrified and unbearable at the time, how did he win the chance to take charge of the government under the almost impenetrable stalking of the Ji family?
Is it Yuan who will teach children?
So what did Yuan Niangniang say?
It can be seen that Chunjia's good reputation in Fuyang County is real, but who would have thought that a Yuanzhi vassal king who lost his father since childhood and was born a concubine, would have such a city and patience at the age of fifteen?
"'The twelfth floor is full of make-up, and the celestial building is looking at the king', Chunjia has endured for ten years before he is today, until now he is still careful to let Ruoji find no reason, and he does not take it lightly." Taihuang The queen mother thought back to this experience, and recalled all the things that happened when Shenzong seized the throne in the past, sighed softly, and said to herself, "The Ji family and the Ai family are actually not wronged to lose."
"Your Majesty..." These words were really ominous, the attendant was startled, but saw the Empress Dowager suddenly closed her eyes, and fell down without a sound!
