Chapter Forty-Nine
The emperor and concubine looked at each other for a moment, Yun Fenghuang asked slowly: "Your Majesty means... let this concubine go to persuade the loving mother, the Empress Dowager?"
There is no problem with this, but she can't guarantee what kind of persuasion Queen Mother Yuan will be.
"...Empress Yuan's mother is angry now, I'm afraid she won't listen to it." Chunjia coughed dryly, "However, if, um, if it's you, Ah Huang, pretending to oppose this matter, um... although it may not be possible , but Mother Yuan probably felt that Kunze and Yun's sons are also pretty good?"
"..." Yun Fenghuang was silent for a moment, and said quietly, "Excuse me for speaking bluntly, the loving mother, the Empress Dowager, is not a child, I'm afraid it's not so easy to fool?"
Chunjia held her hand and encouraged her, "If it's someone else, I may not be able to trust it, but if it's Ah Huang, I believe you will have a way to convince the loving mother, the empress dowager, right?"
Yun Fenghuang really wanted to shake off his hand and tell him that he couldn't!
But she held back!
"Your Majesty, forgive me for speaking bluntly. The empress dowager is a shrewd and capable person. Otherwise, how could you cultivate a wise and mighty Majesty? If it's just a show, I'm afraid I can't hide it from her old man's eyes." He said with a smile on his face, "Unless you let my concubine seriously oppose this matter. Only in this way can I hide it from her. But I have to say something up front. At that time, I can't say for sure." If you're not careful, Princess Kunze really has nothing to do with Yun's son."
Chunjia obviously thought that she would make this request early in the morning, and sighed: "If this is the case, it is destined to happen. I think Queen Mother Qu will not be able to say anything."
Well, co-author Chunjia doesn't really want to marry Kunze to Yun's son!
Yun Fenghuang was annoyed, and she finally understood that Chunjia was still partial to Queen Mother Yuan and did not want to fulfill Queen Mother Qu's request. It's just that Empress Dowager Qu has been suffering at the hands of Empress Dowager Yuan for the past two years. She has accumulated so many sorrows and grievances, and she is also the mother of life. The key point is that she even threatened to take Kunze back to Fuyang County. Chunjia is not good. He directly refused, so he thought of such a note: using Yun Fenghuang, he didn't want Yun's son to marry the eldest daughter, so he urged Yun Fenghuang to disrupt the situation!
"Then when the time comes, the Holy Mother and the Empress Dowager will blame the concubine." She immediately lowered her face, withdrew her hand, and asked coldly, "What is your majesty going to do? Should I let the concubine go to Jiashan Palace to take off her hairpin and punish her?" Directly an imperial decree took away the status of the concubine, and she was escorted to the Empress Dowager to be punished?"
Chunjia hurriedly took her hand again: "How is that possible? Mother Qu is a quiet person, and she never likes to be competitive. The reason why she refuses to give in now is nothing more than to get angry with Mother Yuan. If it is for your sake , where will it be compared?"
"So Your Majesty is not sure that the Queen Mother will not care about it?" Yun Fenghuang pulled back his hand again, and said with a smile, "Then Your Majesty really trusts me, but I don't know if the Holy Mother The Empress Dowager refuses to make a big deal into a trivial matter, how will His Majesty calm down this matter?"
Without waiting for Chunjia to open her mouth, she continued, "Aside from letting the concubine go to vent her anger on the Queen Mother, is there any other way?"
"When the time comes, I will go with you to apologize to Empress Qu." Chunjia wanted to shake her hand, but she slapped her away impatiently: "Since this matter is about two empress dowagers arguing about His Majesty, , What is a concubine doing with me? I don’t want to make the two empress dowagers feel that I am not interested!"
This is your own bad luck, don't even think about dragging Bengong into the water!
But Chunjia wanted to pull her into the water. Seeing that she refused to be held by him, she simply leaned over and hugged her shoulders. After Yun Fenghuang opened it three times, she still persevered and said, "Ah Huang, you said the last thing you said before. Those who like me say that they love me the most..."
"When did this happen?" Yun Fenghuang was hugged reluctantly by him, his face was as cold as ice, and he sneered, "When did this palace say such shameless words? Your Majesty probably heard it in a dream, right? This Palace has always been reserved, so it is impossible for me to say such frivolous words. Maybe His Majesty heard it from someone else, but I lost my memory because of the busy going around in the past two days!"
Chunjia didn't change her face: "Even if it's in the dream, doesn't it mean that I miss you, Ah Huang in my dream?"
Yun Fenghuang sneered again and again: "Your Majesty doesn't forget about being a concubine in a dream?"
"You said you wanted to share weal and woe with me..." Chunjia was interrupted by Yun Fenghuang before finishing her sentence: "How is this possible? When the concubine first entered the palace, His Majesty was not yet in charge, and so was the concubine." It’s a good day for the servants and servants to be clothed in rich clothes and fine food. Now that His Majesty is in charge, the concubine’s life will be more comfortable. And in the future, His Majesty will be arbitrary, and the concubine’s life will only be better. Not as good as when entering the palace? So even if the concubine wants to share joys and sorrows with His Majesty, where does this suffering come from? It does not exist!"
Chunjia felt her determination not to get involved, so she simply pulled her into her arms and rubbed her twice, and said seriously: "Anyway, I am caught between two mothers and queens, so Ah Huang must help me." yes!"
"What is Ah Huang not Ah Huang?" Yun Fenghuang pushed him away forcefully, and shouted mercilessly, "Do you think you have a favorite concubine named Ah Huang? Let me tell you, this is all imaginary. In fact, you There is no noble concubine at all!"
"..." Seeing Chunjia looking at herself speechlessly, she thought for a while and added: "When you stop cheating me, your noble concubine Ah Huang will come back."
The emperor was silent for a while, reached out and tapped a chestnut on her forehead, and hummed, "Liar!"
Yun Fenghuang clutched his forehead and glared at him: "You are a liar! You also said that you would definitely protect me! As a result, I haven't been punished yet, and you just want to push me out to block the knife!"
"Empress Qu has always favored you, and at the osmanthus feast, you were the one who persuaded Kunze to go back to reconcile with her and hand over the decision of the marriage to Empress Qu, so Empress Qu told me about you in private Lots of good words." Chunjia said softly, "If you disturb the matter between Kunze and Yun's son, what do you think Queen Mother Qu will do to you? At most, she will complain to me in private."
"It's easy for you to say!" Yun Fenghuang snorted, "If that's the case, why don't you do it yourself? After all, you are still the biological flesh and blood of the Queen Mother! Princess Kunze was raised by the Queen Mother alone, although She is not her own daughter, but what does she have to do with her own daughter? Even if she was a concubine, she was somewhat respectable in front of the Empress Dowager, and it involved the life-long event of the only daughter under her knee. , can you still give this concubine a good face?!"
Speaking of this, I couldn't help asking Chunjia, "You want to give Kunze to Yuan's son so much? To be honest, none of Yuan's children is particularly outstanding. It really humiliates Kunze Princess."
"It's all going on like this, how can I still let Kunze promise to Yuan Shizi?" Chunjia shook his head when he heard this, straightened his face, and said, "It's just that I don't want Kunze to have anything to do with Yun Shizi. "
This made Yun Fenghuang quite surprised: "Although you plan to send Minghui down to the Yun family, but to be honest, the Yun family has always been loyal to you, so it doesn't matter if there is another county horse?"
"Have you forgotten the emperor's grandmother?" Chunjia sighed, "The series of turmoil at the osmanthus banquet has a lot to do with her old man. It seems that Queen Mother Qu wants Yun's son to be a county horse, and she seems to have asked for advice in private. The Imperial Grandmother... If it was only Empress Qu's own intention, I actually thought it would be right, so that she would not be angry all the time. But since the Imperial Grandmother suggested it privately, I think it's better not to let her get what she wants."
"The Empress Dowager Mother's move is mostly to oppose the Empress Dowager Mother, and her heart must still be towards you." Yun Fenghuang said, "Even if you ask the Empress Dowager about the marriage of Princess Kunze, how can it be possible to listen to the Empress Dowager? ? At most, I can refer to one or two."
She felt that the emperor really thought too much, um, never seen Chunjia so afraid of the empress dowager before?
Could it be that the Empress Dowager recently revealed a new trump card?
Or the kind that is very deterrent?
Yun Fenghuang was thinking about it, when Chun Jia reminded him: "On the day of the osmanthus banquet, after the two queen mothers had an argument, why did Kunze send someone to find the imperial grandmother for help instead of asking the palace people to contact you or the queen?" The palace servants who stayed outside the palace, told them repeatedly, and calmed down the matter without alarming people?"
She was startled, and explained subconsciously: "Maybe it's because the Princess is young, and she didn't think carefully?"
"Kunze is indeed young." Chunjia turned her head to look at her, and said slowly, "But it is also because she is young... and has been raised in Jiashan Palace with Queen Mother Qu, and has hardly seen the emperor's grandmother. What do you think? , When she encounters something she can't solve, will she think of going to the emperor's grandmother? To put it bluntly, although I was adopted by the first emperor Xiaozong, I am not her real brother, but after all, I am related by blood. Said, apart from the two queen mothers in this palace, should I be the closest? I wasn't there at the time, so her most trusted helper should also be my wives and concubines."
However, Princess Kunze chose the Empress Dowager who had never had any intersection before.
Yun Fenghuang frowned slightly: "The person who tipped off the news was really sent by Princess Kunze himself?"
In other words, she suspected that it was not Princess Kunze who brought the matter to the Empress Dowager, but Queen Mother Qu in the name of the princess.
"It was Kunze's own idea." Chunjia said, "Empress Qumu also arranged for someone at that time, but seeing that Kunze ordered so first, she didn't show up."
Now Yun Fenghuang's expression became serious: "You doubt Kunze and the Empress Dowager?"
"En." Chunjia frowned, "If it's just that Empress Qu has something to do with Grandmother, as you said, Empress Qu will not think badly of me, at most she will use the Empress Dowager to confront Empress Yuan. But Kunze... doesn't think she has ulterior motives, it's just that she is still young, and she may be used by the emperor's grandmother, and she doesn't know it yet."
Yun Fenghuang thought in his heart, so it's no wonder that Chunjia didn't want Princess Kunze to marry Yun's son.
After all, this Yun family is what he intends to reuse next. If it is mixed with sand, who knows when it will turn against him and cause him to fail?
Especially since this sand is still his half-sister...
At that time, Ming Jun, who has been in business for many years, will be cold. After all, even the princess who has grown up with him doesn't understand. What kind of capable monarch is this?
Well, right now, she kind of wants to approve of Kunze marrying Yun's son...
"Does the Empress Dowager know about this?" Yun Fenghuang asked after thinking about it.
Chunjia sighed: "How could it be possible not to report to Empress Qu? It's just that Empress Qu didn't quite believe it. She always felt that I was deliberately making excuses to make things difficult for her in order to favor Empress Yuan. Empress Qu said that she wanted to go back to Fuyang County... There is no way."
He said these words in a very embarrassing way, with a few wrinkles between his brows, the young and handsome emperor's slightly sad appearance has a strange charm, if another concubine is here, I am afraid that he will promise to share his worries not long ago.
However, Yun Fenghuang was hard-hearted, not only did not comfort him, but also said very vigilantly: "Your Ah Huang can't do anything!"
After thinking about it, he said, "You don't have Ah Huang at all!"
"..." He didn't want this concubine a little bit, Chunjia calmed down, and then resisted the urge to punch her, "Actually, I originally thought that Kunze and I have half blood, even if They are no longer siblings in name, the previous king has gone, and she has no birth mother in her infancy. Although Empress Qu's mother treated her very well, you also know that Empress Qu's mother came from a humble background, and her natal family has no one to support her. Kunze is just Princess, after leaving the cabinet, if the husband's family is powerful, she might be wronged!"
Seeing that Yun Fenghuang was not moved at all, the emperor took a sip of the tea and said slowly, "So, I don't approve of her marrying Yun's son. One is to guard against the Empress Dowager, and the other is to be afraid of her. I can't cope with the rules of a big family like the Yun family. So what I mean is that the sons of the Yuan family and the Yun family are not very suitable, but..."
He paused for a moment, then smiled slightly, "Xie's son and Jiang's son, can you consider it?"
"...Your Majesty is wise!" Yun Fenghuang was stunned for a moment, smiling like a flower for a moment, and immediately stood up, patting his shoulders attentively, and asked eagerly, "But I don't know who is the future county horse that Your Majesty is looking for?"
This time, Chunjia's face was expressionless and cold as ice. He brushed Yun Fenghuang's hand away proudly, and said with a sneer, "Why is your majesty not your majesty? Do you think you are a favorite concubine? I tell you, it's all about yourself." I imagined it! In fact, I don’t know you at all!”
Yun Fenghuang knew he was wrong, and smiled apologetically, "What did His Majesty say? Isn't your favorite concubine here to accompany you?"
"Where is the favorite concubine?" Chunjia squinted at her, and said, "Why can't I see it?"
"Your Majesty, why are you still fussing over me, a weak woman?" Yun Fenghuang took the initiative to sit on his knees, wrapping his arms around his neck and acting coquettishly, "Besides, I was just joking with you just now! It can't be true! "
Chunjia looked down at her, and sneered: "Who are you? Don't you know whether a man and a woman can kiss each other or not! Go down! I don't recognize you, so if you touch me again, I will punish you carefully!"
Naturally, it was impossible for Yun Fenghuang to go down, so he tilted his head and kissed him on the cheek, and said with a smile: "Okay, His Majesty said that no hands or feet are allowed, so I will not!"
"Don't even move your mouth!" Chunjia squinted at her, and continued to sneer, "Do you think this is your majesty? Let you do whatever you want? I don't know you now! Get up and stay away from me!"
"Even if it wasn't my Majesty just now, why didn't you just kiss him?" Yun Fenghuang hugged him even tighter, and reasoned earnestly, "Your Majesty must be responsible for my concubine!"
Chunjia said: "It is you who kissed me, but not you who was kissed by me. What should I do to be responsible to you?"
Yun Fenghuang changed his words: "Yes, then I am responsible to His Majesty, Your Majesty is my Majesty!"
"..." Chunjia became interested, pondered for a moment, and asked tentatively, "Then how are you going to be responsible?"
