Treacherous Living in the Imperial Harem

Chapter 87: Garn

Regarding the fact that Princess Yun'an was pregnant not long after she came out of the cabinet, and Princess Sui'an has not moved, Yun Fenghuang has been calm so far, but if there is a problem with Sui'an's fertility, this...

It's not that he sincerely considers the continuation of Xie Wuzheng's bloodline, the key is that only by letting the Xie family have heirs with royal bloodlines can they justifiably receive more blessings from Chunjia.

"The eldest princess grew up in the palace, and the imperial physician asked for her pulse, so there must be no major problems." She thought about it for a while, and said to Jiang, "Maybe it's because their fate for heirs hasn't arrived yet? The third sister-in-law of the big house, I Remember that it took five full years after entering the door to give birth to a son?"

Jiang said: "How can the situation of your third elder brother and third sister-in-law be compared with that of Sui'an and his wife? Your third elder brother is a flirtatious person. Before getting married, he took his personal maid into the house, and he prefers that maid. Although there are elders in our family watching , absolutely forbid spoiling concubines and destroying wives, but he is partial to the concubine's room in his heart, and he will not have many days in your third sister-in-law's room. If your third brother is like the twenty-one princesses, resting with the main wife every day, How could it be possible to have a son-in-law in five years?"

But I also agree with my daughter's words, "His Royal Highness Princess Sui'an doesn't look bad, she looks like she has no children. Maybe it's not the right time, but I hope there will be good news as soon as possible."

She sighed and didn't talk about it anymore, she just asked Yun Fenghuang, "You asked Shiba to go to Cui Wan's sect, what can His Majesty say?"

"Your Majesty is a little displeased, but he is coaxed by me, so he doesn't care about it." Yun Fenghuang said in a low voice, "Mother, don't stop me! The brothers in the family are not up to date, so they can learn more It’s always good. No matter what Cui Wan said, he was second only to Wei Changkong in knowledge back then, and he was once an extremely personable minister. His disciples were all over the government and the public. Brother Eighteen was his disciple, but it was not a loss at all! This is also his I don’t get much favor from His Majesty, and my daughter-in-law is not favored in the palace. Otherwise, he might not be willing to give me this face towards Xie’s lintel!"

"Why would I stop you in this kind of thing?" Jiang shook his head and said, "I'm just afraid that you will be too concerned about cultivating brothers, and you will hate your majesty! After all, you also know that the foundation of our family now lies in you, and your confidence It all depends on Your Majesty. No matter how you plan ahead, once you lose your Sacred Heart, it will be meaningless!"

Yun Fenghuang said lightly: "Mother, don't worry, I know it well. Of course I won't do things that will really annoy His Majesty."

Otherwise, she could still make Queen Mother Yuan jump up to now?

Just thinking about the Empress Dowager Yuan, the Jiang family asked: "The niece of the empress dowager, the empress dowager, the concubine Xian is currently confinement in Wannian County. I heard that after the full moon, she will bring the eighth prince back to the palace. Loving mother The Empress Dowager has always favored her natal family. The prince that Concubine An gave birth to before was for her sake, and His Majesty proclaimed him King Qi. But I don’t know what happened to the eighth prince, the loving Empress Dowager?”

"Then Yuan Zhiniang is not to be favored, even if she gave birth to the eighth prince, it's nothing, I almost forgot about it." Yun Fenghuang said in a deep voice, "There is no news from the Spring Palace these two days, but I will let people watch Focus on it."

My mother reminded her that it's fine if the Empress Dowager Yuan doesn't ask for any extra favors from Yuan Zhiniang this time.

As long as she opens that mouth, she will stop what she says!

As for why...

What reason do you want to add to the enemies!

"Don't always show your sharpness like this." Jiang Shi had a headache, "Even if His Majesty knew that you were not the kind of truly virtuous and virtuous person, after all, the loving mother Empress Dowager raised His Majesty with one hand. You just look at your Majesty's face." , she didn't come to make things difficult for you, but why do you have to go through with her because of these things? You must know that His Majesty loves you now, and is always so angry with you. Who doesn't get bored after so many times? Think about Your Majesty Ruoguo Do you feel good about saying my fault twice in three days?"

Yun Fenghuang said: "I'm afraid that if I don't trouble her, she won't let me go. If I let her make a fuss, she and Liugong will tell me that I'm afraid of her! There will be endless troubles at that time. !"

The Jiang family was silent for a moment, then sighed: "After all, the family is sorry for you. If you come from a high family like the queen, why do you need to use cruel methods to scare everyone?"

"It's not interesting to say these things." Yun Fenghuang said, "I talked to His Majesty two days ago about taking the nieces under his knees to be raised, and he agreed. It's just that after this matter and that matter, unexpectedly It has not been done so far. Since my mother is here today, I will go back and give a message to my sisters-in-law, and let them tidy up and send them to the gate of the palace. When the time comes, I will ask someone to bring them."

Paused, "It's just a few children's rules..."

"I've beaten you before." Jiang sighed, "I've been dragging you down blindly, I can't even add a few children to you. Especially Meng'er, I have taught her a serious lesson. If she enters the palace Afterwards, if the old ways sprout, you send her back, and don't let her enter the palace again!"

Yun Fenghuang said: "After all, she looks exactly like me when I was young, even if His Majesty is partial to her, it's okay to show a little coquettishness."

This just makes her regret for her children very real.

"Just be sure to tell her not to turn her elbows outward."

Jiang Shi nodded: "You don't need to say that? I even scolded your thirteenth sister-in-law. How did you teach my daughter? It's not as clever as you were when you were a child!"

After saying these words, seeing that it was getting late, Jiang Shi also took his leave and left the palace.

Two days later, Xie Meng, Xie Kuo and Xie Mu were brought to Yun Fenghuang. Xie Meng, Xie Kuo and Yun Fenghuang had not parted for a long time. Longer, but still familiar.

During this period of time, the two sisters have been reprimanded and disciplined by their parents and the Jiang family. Xie Meng, who has always been self-willed, has become quieter, with a hint of timidity. Although Xie Kuo was as quiet and sensible as ever, he looked at Yun Fenghuang with a bit of awe.

In short, the level of docility has increased.

It can be seen that the elders are really working hard to prevent them from causing trouble to Yun Fenghuang.

Yun Fenghuang encouraged them as if he had never chased them past, and went to see Mrs. Xie.

This is the daughter-in-law of her elder brother Xie Xishi, who is about the same age as Xie Meng, and her appearance is not very good among Xie's daughters, she has a small nose and small eyes, and her figure is slightly round. Youyou has cultivated a body with fine skin and tender meat, which is also commendable.

Yun Fenghuang sighed inwardly, wondering how could this niece have passed on the shortcomings of her parents?

The appearance of Xie Xishi and his wife is more than enough at home, but they are more outstanding outside.

But this niece... Forget it, she is her own niece after all.

And it's not good-looking, but this kid is lucky!

After all, Xie Xishi and Xie Xiye are the only girls who are suitable to be brought up by Yun Fenghuang.

The others are either too old or too young, or they are not born by the aunt, and the aunt is not willing to pull them out, and finds out various reasons to stop them.

There is no competition at all.

Otherwise, this chance probably won't be her turn.

Simply thanking her for being able to pass Jiang's test, there is still something to be desired.

She has a natural and generous personality, and she is neither too unfamiliar nor too obsequious to Yun Fenghuang, an aunt who has little impression of her.

Yun Fenghuang set the children's words and had a solid understanding of their current temperament and thoughts, so he smiled and asked someone to take them to rest.

The three nieces came to the palace and were watched by the palace people. Considering their age, Yun Fenghuang didn't plan to bother them too much now, but asked someone to find someone to teach them their homework and set a rule of taking the exam every ten days.

If you fail, you will be punished.

If there are too many punishments, then send them back.

She doesn't want unmotivated juniors to hold her back.

After dealing with this matter, Yun Fenghuang turned his mind to think about other things, for example, how can we prevent Queen Mother Yuan from asking Chunjia to crown the Eighth Prince as king?

Although there is no such news from the Spring Palace so far, Yun Fenghuang feels that since the prince who was born to Concubine An by the Empress Dowager Yuan suppressed Chunjia to chase after him as the King of Qi, Yuan made a fuss at the beginning. Zhiniang has become a virtuous concubine, and now Yuan Zhiniang is giving birth to a prince, can she compare the example of King Qin and King Chu, and strive for the same treatment for the eighth prince?

For this reason, Yun Fenghuang went to meet the queen in private, and tactfully expressed his worries about this matter.

But the queen still hated her for misleading herself to fight with the Queen Mother Yuan, and she sneered when she heard the words: "The eighth prince is also His Majesty's own flesh and blood, even if the loving mother Empress Dowager wants to make him king in advance, it is against the rules, but the rules are dead people are alive Yes. Originally, the prince will receive the title of king sooner or later. This is not to let the eighth prince get the honor he doesn’t deserve, but it’s just a few years in advance. Concubine, the eldest prince under your knees is all named King Qin, but why don’t you see other people like this? Human children are good? The eldest prince's stepmother is Concubine Zhenxi Shu, but the eighth prince's biological mother is also a dignified and virtuous concubine, but how is she worse than the eldest prince?"

Yun Fenghuang heard her resentment, and smiled: "How dare the concubine disrespect the loving mother, the empress dowager? It's just that the king of Qin was accepted together with the king of Chu. What is the reason? Forgot. And what about the Eighth Prince? Why was he accepted at such a young age? If the loving mother Empress Dowager insists on opening this door, the concubines will probably start to mess around more and more, but what is this like?"

"..." Gu Zhen frowned.

She wasn't really worried that the concubines would break the rules in the future, she was wondering if this was a tactful threat from the noble concubine?

After all, the imperial concubine now has two princes under her knees, and the eldest prince has already been named King Qin, but what about the seventh prince? This is Concubine Wen Huixian's own flesh and blood, and Yunfenghuang's adopted son. If the eighth prince gets the treatment of being crowned king in advance, Yunfenghuang will definitely use this as a reason to strive for the same grace for the seventh prince.

With the favor of the noble concubine and Yin Qu's emphasis on his grandson, the emperor will most likely agree.

Then here comes the problem, outsiders don't know the twists and turns, they will only see Concubine Min being favored, not to mention the three heirs under her knees, each of whom has been rewarded in advance.

One can imagine the momentum of Yunfenghuang!

Now that Chunjia is still young, and the imperial heirs are all young, Gu Zhen already feels that he is powerless to fight this noble concubine. Let Yun Fenghuang become so famous, even if he holds a phoenix seal in his hand and has a son on a jade plate under his knee, She also felt hopeless.

"Your Majesty is pure filial piety. If the empress dowager is determined to go her own way, what can I do?" Thinking of this, Gu Zhen frowned slightly, and said in a slow tone, "If the noble concubine has a good plan, why don't you let it go?"

Yun Fenghuang said: "What can I do? I just feel that the harem wife has been peaceful for a long time. If the empress dowager favors the virtuous concubine and causes disputes again, won't it also cause trouble for Your Majesty? Virtuous and virtuous, she is His Majesty's virtuous helper, so she must not bear to see His Majesty suffer like this. But please ask Your Majesty to make up her mind!"

Gu Zhen suppressed his anger and said: "Ben Gong is now thinking about Gu Su, you should know it in your heart! I agree with what you said, but I don't know how to do it. Since it is You said it, don’t you know it in your heart?”

"I'm just a mere concubine, how can the empress be considerate when thinking about things?" Yun Fenghuang stabbed in a neither soft nor hard way, and then said, "It's just that the Spring Palace is very quiet these days. The queen mother hasn't been out of the palace these days, isn't it a bit boring?"

I understand, she wanted to act first and cause trouble for Queen Mother Yuan.

Gu Zhen frowned and said, "I'm afraid His Majesty doesn't like us disturbing the empress dowager."

Take the initiative to target the Queen Mother Yuan, it's fine if you have the emperor's favor, but I don't have one! At that time, are you afraid that you will not be thrown out as a scapegoat to vent your anger to His Majesty?

Just thinking about how to veto her proposal, Yun Fenghuang said: "What are you thinking, mother, why should we bother the loving mother empress dowager? After all, the concubine Xian is still confinement in Wannian County, and the loving mother empress dowager has not done anything so far. She didn't say anything or do anything. If she doesn't have that kind of thought, but she is wronged by us, wouldn't it hurt her peace?"

Do you know how to be kind?

No, it should be said, what harmony is there between your noble concubine and the loving mother, the empress dowager?

The corner of Gu Zhen's mouth twitched, and said, "What exactly do you want?"

"A few days ago, my concubine told His Majesty about the Six Palaces, and mentioned that Concubine An has not greeted the Central Palace for a long time." Yun Fenghuang said slowly, "That's why Your Majesty ordered Concubine An not to neglect you. No, these Every day, no matter whether Concubine An likes it or not, she still comes to Chongchang Hall to meet us every day?"

After she said this, Gu Zhen suddenly realized that Anfei Yuan Niangniang, as Chunjia's childhood sweetheart, also has a pro-aunt of the queen mother who protects her shortcomings, so naturally her status in the palace is different.

So much so that after she became strangers to Chunjia, she lived reclusively in the Huzhu Palace and hardly came out to pay her respects to the queen.

So Concubine An suddenly appeared in the Chongchang Palace two days ago, Gu Zhen was still a little nervous, thinking that something had happened, which alarmed her.

But Concubine An's attitude was cold, she ignored anyone's temptations, and she came and went in a hurry without talking to anyone.

So Gu Zhen wondered if it was because Yuan Niang was so quiet that she felt that the Huzhu Palace was too deserted and cramped, so she asked An to come out for a walk?

She has self-knowledge and knows that she is not Chunjia's true love, so she is unwilling to completely offend the emperor's new love and old love, lest she hate Chunjia, and it will be difficult to get along in the future, and it will also be bad for the Gu family.

Therefore, Concubine An's neglect of Gu Zhen actually didn't take it to heart, after all, she was tired of Yuan Niangniang, and she didn't really want to see this person in front of her.

It didn't matter if Yuan Miuniang didn't come to greet her before, anyway, Yuan Miuniang did this when the former queen Ji Lingzi was in power, but when Yuan Miuniang came suddenly, Gu Zhen didn't feel conceited or excited. Are you not coming?

At this moment, I heard that it was Yunfenghuang's meaning, and I sighed in my heart. No matter how bad Yuan Niangniang was, she was an old man who grew up with Chunjia's childhood sweetheart. It has only been three or four years since the capital, and things have changed.

Even because of Xinhuan's words, she was not even allowed to live alone in the Huzhu Palace.

For a moment, Gu Zhen didn't know whether he should lament Yun Fenghuang's killing them all, or Chun Jia's heartlessness?

She suppressed her distracting thoughts and only said: "You want to make a fuss about Concubine An and test your loving mother, the Empress Dowager?"
