Chapter Forty-One

"Stop spitting blood!" Kunze frowned and shouted softly, "Mother Yuan and Queen Qu are both the backyard of the former king of Fuyang. They have supported each other for many years and love each other like sisters. Even if there is some discord, it is just a closed door Why do you have to hate the household chores? As a noble concubine, what is your intention to slander the elders of your clan like this?!"

Yun Fenghuang lightly clapped his hands and said with a smile: "It seems that the empress dowager, the loving mother, has taught the princess a lot these days. But I dare to ask the princess, if the two empress dowagers are just ordinary. Why is the princess so embarrassed that he needs to ask the empress dowager for instructions? The two empress dowagers are the elders of the people in this palace, and the empress dowager is even the elders of the two empress dowagers! This has alarmed the elders It’s so big, can it be a trivial matter? Princess, tell me, do you believe this yourself?”

If Yun Fenghuang herself was asked this question, then she must have no conscience and no burden to claim that she believed it.

But Kunze couldn't be so shameless after all, he hesitated slightly when he heard the words, he paused before speaking, his momentum was not as good as before: "Anyway, I decide my own marriage, this is what the two queen mothers and Your Majesty said, even if You are His Majesty's favorite concubine, you can't control me!"

"If it's just the princess's marriage, I naturally wouldn't dare to do it for you." Yun Fenghuang smiled and said leisurely, "But now it's about His Majesty, and I'm a noble concubine, so of course I have to share your worries for His Majesty! Princess, this palace Let's just say it straight, do you always resent His Majesty in your heart, and even feel disdainful towards the Queen Mother instead of being grateful?"

She didn't give Kunze a chance to object, and continued, "Because although you are His Majesty's half-sister, after His Majesty succeeded Emperor Xiaozong, there were three eldest princesses as sisters. In the harem, they all pay more attention to the three eldest princesses! In contrast, except for the Queen Mother, no one cares about the princess! The princess doesn’t say anything, but she is very upset in her heart. It’s just normal I can't find any way to retaliate. Now that you have reached the age of discussing marriage, the two empress dowagers and Your Majesty have some disagreements about your marriage, so you feel that the opportunity has come, right?"

Kun Zeteng stood up, walked out, and said in a hateful voice as he walked: "You have the qualifications to say that you are trying to share your majesty's worries by turning black and white and making false accusations out of thin air?! I think you are just looking for trouble when you have nothing to do, and you can't wait for the harem to be chaotic. I don’t want to tell people like you anymore, I’m going to find the two queen mothers to make the decision, and together I’ll ask His Majesty, what does it mean for you to ask me these words!?”

"The Princess really thinks that you can hide it from His Majesty because of your careful thinking?" Yun Fenghuang didn't stop him, but said slowly, "Don't forget how Your Majesty came to the throne! Do you think you are smarter than the Ji family, or Do you think you can beat the Regent King? How rich are these two men? Compared with them, His Majesty has nothing but the title of a great position! But where is the Ji family now? The Regent King has to bow his head in front of the throne! Your Majesty has even taken care of those people, so is there really nothing you can do about the princess? It’s just that you can’t bear to be harsh because you are thinking of the relationship between your brothers and sisters!”

"But princess, don't forget, if it's just a matter between you and your majesty's brothers and sisters, your majesty is magnanimous and loves you, so if you bear it, you will bear it, and you are willing to pretend to be confused."

"But now, is it just a problem between you brothers and sisters?"

"The two empress dowagers, and even the empress dowager, were dragged in."

"Under such circumstances, even if His Majesty still loves you, do you think that this love can surpass His Majesty's filial piety to the loving mother Empress Dowager, or can it surpass the respect to the Holy Mother Empress Dowager?"

Seeing Kunze standing only two steps away from the door, a little dazed, Yun Fenghuang took a sip of tea and sneered slightly, "The princess still doesn't understand? The reason why your majesty asked me to invite you alone at this moment If you come here to talk, I will give you one last chance, lest you have to sacrifice you when you get it! This is your majesty - as an elder brother, who has repeatedly praised you. If it is an ordinary person, do you think your majesty is busy or this palace is not busy? A lot of effort to spend with you mushrooms?"

Princess Kunze pursed her lips, straightened her back, and said in a deep voice, "It's just alarmist talk!"

He turned around, intending to continue to leave.

"The Princess can leave." Yun Fenghuang gently put the tea on the table, and said slowly, "So I will report to His Majesty later, saying that His Majesty's kindness has been rejected by the Princess. I also hope that the princess will not regret it when she turns around, and even cry bitterly, she is also the princess of the Tian family, her posture is too ugly, and she loses the face of the royal family."

"..." Princess Kunze clenched her fists, her complexion changed dramatically, she turned her head to look at Yun Fenghuang's expression, hoping to find some clues, but Yun Fenghuang's face was calm and unwavering, without a trace, only quietly look at her.

After a while, the princess walked back to the seat with a livid face, and said: "Now I know what Liugong is doing so much that I am so afraid of you, a noble concubine, you are really eloquent, you can say white is black, and dead It can be said to be alive."

"Everything I said is well-founded." Yun Fenghuang said disapprovingly, "Such rumors are not credible."

Now that Kunze has softened, she didn't want to run people away again, so she changed her tone and said, "Finally, what did the loving mother empress dowager say to the princess to make the princess feel that she should choose Yuan Ke as her husband-in-law?" , is it a good thing?"

Kunze bowed his head and remained silent.

Seeing this, Yun Fenghuang raised his eyebrows and said: "If the princess doesn't say anything, how about this palace?"

Hearing that the princess's scalp was numb, he raised his head and said, "It's not like everyone likes to pinch and be strong like you!"

"I know." However, Yun Fenghuang nodded slightly when he heard the words, and said, "The princess chose Yuan Ke because he wanted to be strong?"

"you!"

Yun Fenghuang looked indifferent, and said: "That's right, Your Majesty is still concerned, but I didn't expect that they are also His Majesty's younger sisters. Because they are the blood of the first emperor, the three eldest princesses are naturally valued by the former emperor and the harem. What about the princess? This princess It was a fluke. After all, your father Fuyang Duan Wang is only the county king, and according to the rules, the county owner should only be the county owner. Even because he is not a daughter-in-law, he is a bit unlucky, and the county owner cannot be named."

"So after leaving the cabinet, even if the husband's family can be honored, they must be ranked behind the three eldest princesses. The princess has been suppressed by the three eldest princesses since she was a child. It is no wonder that she is unhappy and wants to take the lead!"

Kunze was about to refute, when the imperial concubine continued, "But the princess was deceived. In fact, you chose Yuan Ke. It seems very good, but it is nothing more than suicide!"

"...Why?" Kunze was stunned and asked subconsciously.

After saying this, she immediately regretted it, and quickly corrected, "What are you talking about, I am confused!"

Yun Fenghuang didn't pierce her careful thinking, while looking at her expression calmly, he said: "I probably know how the loving mother empress dowager persuaded the princess: the princess is His Majesty's own sister, but before the public The empresses are not as good as the three eldest princesses. If they leave the cabinet according to the Queen Mother's wishes, they will definitely not be as good as the three eldest princesses in the future. Even in order to prevent others from talking about favoring blood relatives, your majesty will deliberately Suppress one or two."

"So it's better to marry Yuan's son. With the help of a loving mother, the Empress Dowager, but it's not comparable to the three eldest princesses, isn't it good?"

"But has the princess ever thought about it? The loving mother and empress dowager are certainly the most respected elders of your majesty, so why is the empress dowager not your majesty's biological mother? You were brought up by the empress dowager, but you made her sad like this, even if the empress dowager Kindhearted, I don't care about you. You said that His Majesty sees it, so can you not be dissatisfied with you? There are also palace servants who have served the Queen Mother for many years. , What do you think they will think? They will think that the princess is a person who repays kindness! At that time, who will treat the princess sincerely?"

"Don't forget that the loving mother, the Empress Dowager, is not your Majesty's biological mother, but only an adoptive mother!"

"Would she like someone like the princess who disobeyed her adoptive mother?"

"Since you don't like Princess Princess, why do you think she wants to plan for you sincerely? It's just a lie to you!"

Kunze's face was ugly, she was silent for a long time, she finally said slowly: "...that's not the case."

Yun Fenghuang asked in a low voice: "What is that like? Princess don't need to rush to deny it. There are only a few possibilities for this matter. If the princess really has a childhood sweetheart with Yuan Ke, then no one will doubt it." You are sincere to each other. But in fact, you have not met a few times, and you have never thought that you will be together before. If a person really cares about another person from the bottom of his heart, how can there be no trace Why don’t you stay? There are many eyes inside and outside the palace, it’s impossible for them to disappear completely. In the final analysis, the princess chose Yuan Ke for some other purpose, not out of sincerity.”

"Since it's not sincere, and it's a lifelong event, how can there be no reason?"

"Besides the reason I said, Princess, please tell me, what other reason is there?"

"Alternatively, who took the princess as an excuse to say something bad to the outside world and threatened you?"

"...I mean, I didn't say that I have a relationship with Yuan Ke because I want to compete with the three eldest princesses." Kunze lowered his head and fiddled with the hem of his clothes, muttering sullenly, "I was thinking about what would happen if I married Yuan Ke." Son of the Yuan family, Empress Yuan will not continue to make things difficult for Empress Qu in private, so Empress Qu can live a more relaxed life."

Yun Fenghuang said in his heart that it is no wonder that Ben Gong believes in you, what kind of jealousy was like when a little girl was like, Ben Gong is the most clear about this jealous nature.

Kun Zexing somewhat considered resolving the grievances between the two empress dowagers through this marriage, but he was more definitely thinking about himself.

This kind of thinking is actually understandable, although Kunze understands intellectually that she is also Chunjia's younger sister, and she is even closer to Chunjia's blood, but the treatment of the three eldest princesses as Xiaozong's blood is definitely different.

Even what she got now is more than what she should have had.

But after all, he is young, day after day he was detained in Jiashan Palace with Empress Dowager Qu, watching the three eldest princesses being cared for in every way, all kinds of blessings, it was inevitable that he felt a little aggrieved and envious.

When it was time for her to talk about marriage, she would be encouraged and encouraged again. If she made a mistake in this step, she would fall behind others in the next ten or twenty years, or even in this life, and even her descendants. The idea of ​​being convinced came out, and it was easy to guide.

It has to be said that Empress Dowager Yuan's vision is also vicious, and she made good use of Kunze's situation and unwillingness to stab Empress Dowager Qu straightforwardly.

The cover-up in Kunze's words now shows that she didn't feel that doing this was a complete betrayal of Queen Mother Qu.

In the eyes of the princess, this may be the best of both worlds.

It was convenient for herself and also helped Queen Mother Qu.

In all fairness, Kunze cannot be blamed for being too stupid. After all, although she is not considered favored, she has always lived a smooth life, and she is only so young. In terms of mind, how can she be the opponent of Queen Mother Yuan?

"So that's it, I just said, the Empress Dowager is so kind to the princess, how can the princess not consider the Queen Mother's thoughts?" Yun Fenghuang sneered secretly, and said, "It's just that the princess is also right The Empress Dowager's concern is chaotic. In fact, the Empress Dowager Mother is the mother of His Majesty after all. How can she have no power to protect herself at all? Even Princess Enze is more than enough. Furthermore, if the Princess does this, if If you don’t talk to the Queen Mother, the Queen Mother only thinks that the princess’s heart is for the Queen Mother and not for herself. How sad it should be? If the Queen Mother knows about it in the future, how can the Queen Mother not feel sorry for you at a young age? , you have to take out life-long events as bargaining chips, and worry about the future of you two?"

"No matter which one it is, the original intention of the princess is to protect the Queen Mother, but the fact is that the Queen Mother is heartbroken!"

Kunze said in a low voice: "But you also know the situation of Jiashan Palace in the palace, what else can I do?"

"Isn't the Princess's words still dissatisfied with His Majesty?" Yun Fenghuang said softly, "Actually, the Princess really misunderstood Your Majesty. If Your Majesty doesn't care about you at all, why would you say that you must be satisfied with the marriage?" What do you mean? Even took the time to ask you alone? There is no one else here at the moment, let me be frank: Your Majesty cares about the three eldest princesses, because he has to care for the three eldest princesses. For Your Majesty As far as she is concerned, the princess is the only sister by blood. When Minghui and the others chose the son-in-law, did you see that His Majesty let them make decisions on their own? Not to mention, he talked to them alone and asked them what they wanted. "

"As for the dowry and the favors given to the son-in-law, it's just for outsiders to see."

"How can it compare with His Majesty's sincerity?"

"And the princess should also know that His Majesty still has many constraints in the court."

"But your majesty is wise, powerful, young and powerful. After a while, your majesty will make the decision completely. Could it be possible to treat you badly?"

"It's you, you are really young and ignorant. The two empress dowagers who are making trouble at this moment openly tear their faces, and even Xiangrui has been affected!"

"Even if everyone knows that this is not your original intention, or even what you did, but just like what I said just now, Your Majesty is pure filial piety, how can you still blame the two empress dowagers? In the end, don't you think it's your fault?"

"Tell me, what's the trouble?"

Kunze's complexion finally changed. She leaned slightly from her seat towards the main seat, and her tone was subconsciously humble: "Then... what should I do now?"
