Chapter 60 Hot Potato

"This little prince is a hot potato." Yun Fenghuang didn't reply immediately when he heard the words, but said slowly, "If it's a healthy prince, the fourth concubine or the empress, anyone can take care of him. But Concubine Wen Huixian is difficult to give birth after all. , the prince landed with difficulty, you know what the imperial physician and the old man around us mean just now... That man Yin Qu made a fuss about Yin Xian in the past, if someone else raised the seventh prince but failed to raise him well, you know, he must Will not let it go."

If it is true that the adoptive mother doesn't care, that's all right. If the adoptive mother cares, but because the Seventh Prince is weak and unable to return to heaven, Yin Qu will complain and hate him, which is too wronged!

And now that the palace is qualified to adopt the seventh prince, the empress has two princes under her knees, because Gu Su and others entered the palace, she absolutely does not want to adopt the princes born by other people unless it is absolutely necessary; among the four concubines, Yun Fenghuang has both sons and daughters, and has two nieces by her side; Concubine Shu and Concubine Xian are pregnant, while Concubine De has only one daughter, but she is young and she can still give birth. From her previous attitude towards the King of Chu, it can be seen that she Even a prince whose biological mother died early can't treat her as her own, and you let her treat the seventh prince who has a powerful natal family as her own flesh and blood, which is too difficult for her.

As for the position of concubine, Concubine An raised the sixth prince, and because of her criminal record, the Yin family was so stupid that they were willing to entrust the seventh prince to her upbringing; Concubine Xie is famously honest, but also dull, the most typical example is The last time she enjoyed the osmanthus banquet, Mrs. Qing Shu took Mrs. Rou Kun out to rescue Yun Fenghuang. She, a serious sister of the same clan, was also recognized as being taken care of by Yun Fenghuang, but she was indifferent and at a loss. This kind of person It would be a good fortune to be able to raise her own son; Concubine Wan and Concubine Shao were handkerchiefs who grew up together, and their knees were empty, so they were barely suitable candidates.

but.

Yun Fenghuang reminded the queen: "When Yin Jian had a difficult labor today, among the people who entered the palace with her, only Luo Zhaoyi thought of asking the Yin family to come and accompany her. No one else has ever said that."

"But Luo Hanyi's status is too low." The queen frowned. "And she interceded for Yin Xuan, but she may not have the patience to raise Yin Xuan's son... You know, Luo Hanyi is still young."

Luo Hanyi can still live by himself, so there is no need to work hard for the Seventh Prince. If he is not careful, he will offend the Yin family.

"Let Your Majesty make the decision." The concubine was silent for a while, and finally decided that this kind of hot potato should be eaten by Chunjia herself.

At this time, Yun Fenghuang remembered and asked the Queen: "Why is only Yin Nuluo here in the Yin family today?"

"The old lady of their family was not happy a few days ago, and she was taken care of by several daughters-in-law and granddaughters to the hot spring village outside the city, and she couldn't come back for a while." The queen sighed, "stay in the mansion. The presenter was Yin Qu's widowed sister-in-law, who had given birth to four heirs and failed to stand still, but now the heir is adopted, she felt that it was ominous and did not dare to enter the palace, so only Yin Nvluo came."

"So that's how it is." Yun Fenghuang said, "It's just that Yin Qu didn't ask to see his daughter for the last time after he came down to court, which is surprising."

The queen said: "After all, he is also an important minister. No matter how much he feels sorry for his daughter, he should be a little bit measured. Where is the place where he can come here without authorization? At most, when Wen Hui set up a spirit, let him and Yin Nuluo come to pay respects." Sacrifice one or two, this is His Majesty's grace."

Then the queen didn't know that it wasn't that Yin Qu didn't want to come to dye Xiang Palace, but passed out directly after hearing the news.

The family hurriedly invited the doctor to the scene, after a few injections, he woke up slowly, but grabbed the hands of the people around him, and asked in a trembling voice: "I seem to have heard the news that the son is gone?"

The people around him couldn't bear to admit it, and it wasn't easy to hide it. After a little hesitation, he understood, and he didn't come up again... Such repeated tossing until late at night, even the old man at home was alarmed, and he rushed over to guard himself, and managed to stabilize his emotions , not fainting because of being too excited, just crying loudly.

He cried like this, and Yin Nuluo, who had endured it several times in the palace, also cried.

The Yin family was heartbroken and sad, and finally the old lady came forward and stopped them: "Dead people can't come back to life, and the bones of Concubine Wen Huixian are not cold. As the people she cared about most during her lifetime, you are like this. You deliberately want Concubine Wen Huixian to go away." Are you at ease!"

He also reminded them, "Although Concubine Wen Huixian left, the Seventh Prince was left behind. However, the high position in the palace is suitable for raising the Seventh Prince. Either she is pregnant or has children under her knees. In this case, not everyone will treat the Seventh Prince. The prince is doing his best, if you really feel sorry for Concubine Wen Huixian, you should make a plan for the seventh prince's life, so that Concubine Wen Huixian will not be worried about her under Jiuquan, and she will not be safe!"

This matter finally got involved in the minds of the father and daughter, making them less focused on mourning, and seriously considering who should raise the Seventh Prince?

Yin Qu's father and daughter actually favor Queen Gu Zhen the most. It's not that they have any ambitions. It's just that they think the queen treats the emperor's heir well. The king of Chu won't say anything. It is perfectly normal for the prince of the Eastern Palace to be kind to such a son as a mother.

The key is the third prince, who has a special status just like the second prince, let's see how his brothers live in Concubine Shu's hands? Being thrown into the lotus pond in broad daylight, no matter how the royal family whitewashes the peace to the outside world, a family like the Yin family still doesn't know what's going on?

But Gu Zhen loved the third prince as much as he did the king of Chu.

Therefore, Yin Qu's father and daughter felt that if the seventh prince was adopted by the empress, they should be the least of their worries.

The problem is that the status of the princes raised in front of the empress is different, even if they are not recorded as legitimate sons under the empress' name, since the empress's two princes have no fate with the East Palace, the seventh prince will naturally become a thorn in the flesh.

"Didn't the king of Chu just follow the Tao before?" Yin Qu's elder reminded him, "The empress is kind-hearted and really loves the imperial heirs, but it is useless to raise the prince in the palace. With a little wrist, how can you support the emperor's heir? Let alone the heir of the middle palace."

The next one is the noble concubine according to her status, and most of the elders of the Yin family rejected this candidate.

The reason is simple: "The noble concubine came from a humble background. Although she has been trying her best to support the Xie family in the past two years, the Xie family is too weak, and she will definitely not be able to get up for a while. If the seventh prince is handed over to her knees, she will definitely use it As a bargaining chip, he forced our family to give convenience to Mrs. Xie, and in the future, he may coerce us into helping the King of Qin... The one from Xuanqing Palace is too thoughtful, so it's better not to get involved."

The elders of Concubine Shu and Concubine Wan have some connections with the Yin family. However, when Yin Xian had a difficult delivery, only Luo Hanyi helped to speak. Now the Yin family has some resentment towards these two and Concubine Wan, and they do not want to hand over the Seventh Prince. to their knees.

Not to mention Concubine Yuan Xian, the most practical issue is that if the other concubines raise the Seventh Prince carelessly or have any negligence, they can seek justice from Chunjia as their wives, and Chunjia should give them an explanation.

But Yuan's daughter has the Empress Dowager Yuan as her backer, and who knows the emperor's favoritism towards the Empress Dowager Yuan?

The Yin family didn't want to make mistakes.

Concubine Wan and Concubine Xie and Concubine An are deducted from the rank of concubine. These two Yin family members are also dissatisfied, because they have never heard of any special kindness in them, and they are sure that they have no special means... In short, he thinks that he is not worthy of raising the grandson of the Yin family.

"If you are so picky, then the seventh prince can't be raised by His Majesty himself?" The old lady of the Yin family advised Yin Qu, "Stop talking about this matter, just let His Majesty make the decision, and His Majesty can still treat his own son badly. Can't the prince succeed?"

By this time, it was already very late, and several clansmen including Yin Qu had to go to court tomorrow, and seeing that Yin Qu's father and daughter had stopped talking, they left.

Originally, with the status of the Yin family, if the daughter died in childbirth, or the daughter who was a concubine in the palace died, someone should come to express condolences.

However, before dawn the next day, everyone was arguing over whether to return Da Yan's mother and son, and no one cared about Yin Xiang's death at all.

The queen decided to set up a mourning hall in Ranxiang Palace. Because the seventh prince was born and weak, she only let the concubines in the side hall come out to watch the spirit, and asked a few heirs who could walk to burn some paper money for Wen Hui's mother and concubine. It's not so deserted anymore.

After some busy work, just as he called the imperial physician to ask about the situation of the seventh prince, someone from the palace came to report that Miss Yin's family had come to the palace gate again to ask for an audience.

"It's pathetic if you want to send Wen Hui off." The queen ordered casually, "Go and take her to the mourning hall."

The death of Concubine Wen Huixian was a major event for Ranxiang Palace and Yin Mansion, but actually for the entire Six Palaces, it was over with regret and sigh at that time.

So after only one day, Gu Zhen and Yun Fenghuang returned to normal, and they didn't even go to Chunbo Hall in person.

After noon, Yun Fenghuang took the booklet to test the homework of the two nieces. After all, Xie Meng was still pampered, intelligent but not serious. In contrast, Xie Kuo was calm and down-to-earth.

It's just that Xie Meng looks exactly like his real aunt now, similar to Yun Fenghuang when he was a child, he can't compete with his sisters, so he privately trips Xie Kuo...

"It's really tit for tat." Just letting them recite their homework for a while, Yun Fenghuang prevented Xie Meng from ridiculing and beating Xie Kuo at least three times. This was still in front of her face, so one can imagine the private How did Xie Meng treat his cousin?

After dismissing the two little girls, she sighed to the left and right, "When I was targeting Sixth Sister, I never thought of today."

Qing Du and the others persuaded: "The two young ladies are still young, so it's inevitable that they will be naughty. Don't take offense, it'll be fine when you grow up. When you were young, you and Miss Six were having trouble. Didn't you become intimate when you grew up?"

"How is it so simple?" Yun Fenghuang shook his head and said, "When Bengong grows up, he can reconcile with Sixth Sister. How much thought did Mother put into it? Not to mention that Sixth Sister really doesn't care about Bengong."

Qing Du said: "Miss Kuo didn't bother with Miss Meng either."

Yun Fenghuang smiled and was noncommittal, Xie Kuo is so old, so calm, such a person is either really careless, or the city is deep, knowing that now is not the time to attack.

If before, even if one is the niece next door and the other is the real niece, after all, they are all related by blood. Yun Fenghuang hopes that her mother's family will grow stronger, and the fourth wife alone is not enough. Therefore, it is reasonable and sincerely wants to cultivate Xie Kuo .

But after the trial of Kunze's marriage...

Her mind has changed.

"Turn around and send a message to Thirteenth Sister-in-law, and tell Thirteenth Sister-in-law about Menger's actions these days." Yun Fenghuang ordered in a low voice, "Don't say that I said it, just say that you can see it. The more I felt pity for Kuo'er, and I was afraid that Meng'er would fall out of favor, so I couldn't help but give her news."

Qingdu only thought that she didn't like Xie Meng's domineering and domineering and didn't want to discipline him personally, so he hinted at Xiao Chen's hand, and quickly agreed.

At dusk that day, Zhonggong sent someone to invite Yun Fenghuang to discuss matters.

"It's so late, did something happen again?" Yun Fenghuang asked straight to the point while saluting at the Chongchang Hall.

The queen frowned: "It's not an accident, it's just that Miss Yin's family just gave me a problem."

Seeing Yun Fenghuang looking over inquiringly, she sighed, "She said she wanted to take Wen Hui's place in the palace to serve His Majesty."

The point is, "I can also take care of the Seventh Prince."
