Chapter 12: The Way to Adopt a Mother

The Seventh Prince was caught in the wind and cold in the cold spring of the eleventh year of Chunjia because of the palace servants. A child at such a young age was the weakest. Even after the fever subsided, he was sick for a long time.

Yun Fenghuang inevitably visited from time to time.

This action immediately aroused Princess Zhaoqing's taste, because Yun Fenghuang always praised her for being well-behaved and considerate. Don't worry about Xiaoqi, or say anything bad about the seventh prince, she changed her method: "Mother and concubine, is the seventh brother pretending? The imperial doctor said that the seventh brother is already well, why is he still not energetic?" Look! My lord, he just wants to lie to you to stay with him! He is so bad, he knows that mother and concubine are working hard, but still teases mother and concubine like this! Seventh brother is a bad child, mother and concubine, right?"

Yun Fenghuang looked at the little baby in the cradle who was not yet one year old, and then at Princess Zhaoqing who was pulling her skirt to the side and her long eyelashes flickering. She smiled slightly, bent down, and said softly: "It turns out that Xiao Qi Do you want to trick mother and concubine into accompanying him?"

Zhaoqing nodded vigorously.

"Then Zhaoqing made my concubine so sad." Yun Fenghuang opened his eyes and said nonsense, touched her head, and sighed quietly, "When Zhaoqing was so young, he wanted to be concubine mother, mother The concubine left a few steps away, and you cried and made noises. The concubine mother thought at the time, you are young, and it is only natural for you to want to be next to the concubine... The result is that you know that the concubine is working hard, but you still want to play tricks on the concubine? Concubine Mu is really sad, Zhaoqing is such a good child..."

Princess Zhaoqing: "..."

She quickly smoothed things over for herself, "No, no, concubine mother, Erchen didn't play tricks on concubine mother at that time, I just miss concubine mother!!!"

"Mother concubine believes in Zhaoqing." Yun Fenghuang smiled and nodded her pink cheeks, and said softly, "It's just Xiao Qi..."

"Xiao Qi doesn't want to miss my concubine!" Zhaoqing immediately said again, "Xiao Qi is just ignorant! Concubine mother, you trust me, Xiao Qi is really ignorant, considerate and obedient!!!"

Yun Fenghuang nodded with a good temper: "Yes, yes, yes, yes, Zhao Qing is the most sensible, considerate and obedient boy. When Xiao Qi grows up, the concubine will let him have a good time with Xiao Qi. Learn! That's..."

She deliberately hesitated, "Xiao Qi is so ignorant, considerate and obedient, I don't know if Zhaoqing is willing to take him to learn?"

Zhao Qing thought to himself, of course I don't want to!

I wish I didn't have a brother!

Don't take him!

It's better if he keeps being so ignorant, considerate and obedient, so that the concubine mother won't like him, but like me alone!

But when she was pinching her to refuse, Yun Fenghuang said again: "Concubine Mother can't bear to embarrass Zhaoqing, after all Zhaoqing also wants to play, so it seems that Concubine Mother can only teach him by herself, otherwise I will leave Going out, everyone thought that the mother and concubine had no way to teach the child, wouldn't it be a disgrace to our Xuanqing Palace?"

"Mother and concubine are very busy!" Zhaoqing said decisively, "Seventh brother has grown up, let me take care of him! After all, seventh brother is not sensible, considerate and obedient, so it must be very troublesome to take care of him. My son For the sake of mother and concubine, don't be afraid of trouble!"

"Mother Concubine knows that Zhaoqing is the best." Yun Fenghuang hugged her in satisfaction and kissed her, "Mother Concubine likes Zhaoqing the most."

Zhao Qing was so happy, completely unaware that the surrounding palace people were trying to hold back their laughter.

When she ran to play with King Qin, the Qing people came up and whispered to Yun Fenghuang: "The seventh and tenth princes are still young, so that's all. When they grow up, if they also compete with His Royal Highness Princess Zhaoqing for favor, then ..."

Then, imperial concubine, you can't always like Zhaoqing the most, the seventh prince and the tenth prince the most?

As for the two princes growing up to be modest and sensible and not competing with Princess Zhaoqing, that is basically impossible.

Even if they don't have this idea themselves, the people who serve them will teach it intentionally or not.

"That's nothing." Yun Fenghuang said disapprovingly, "Don't forget that when I was young, I used different ways to compete with my sister to be jealous, but when I grow up, our relationship is not very good?"

"But..." The corners of Qing's mouth twitched, and he really wanted to say that the reason why you and Miss Six had a good relationship later on was not because Miss Six kept letting you go, and when you grew up, you had a new opponent, Chao Jingyou. She didn't care so much about the concubine's sister, and with the hard work of the mistress Jiang's reconciliation, the sisterhood was restored?

If Xie Fenghuan hadn't been blindly patient at the beginning, and even helped Yun Fenghuang to smooth things over, and refused to admit that her sister-in-law planted and bullied her, but if she fought back once or twice, Yun Fenghuang's narrow-mindedness, I am afraid that she will be bitter. Now, he has even turned his anger on the Jiang family.

The reason why Miss Xie Liu was willing to give in to Yun Fenghuang was not only because of her aunt Jiang's love for her, but in the final analysis she was not Jiang's biological daughter, but a concubine. From childhood to adulthood, if she was able to receive the treatment of a aunt because of her aunt's support, Xie Fenghuan couldn't help feeling that she owed her aunt, so she was more or less willing to bear with her aunt's own daughter.

If Xie Fenghuan was not a concubine, or Yun Fenghuang was not a concubine, Xie Fenghuan might not be willing to accept it like that.

None of Yun Fenghuang's heirs is his own. In comparison, Zhaoqing and the Tenth Prince are of course more intimate, after all, they are the heirs recorded under Yun Fenghuang's name. But the King of Qin and the Seventh Prince are not to be neglected, because one stands behind the Duke Yi’s mansion, and Mrs. Yi Guo has always come to visit him on every day of greeting; the other stands behind the Yin family, whose aunt and quasi Aunt Yin Nvluo visited more diligently than Mrs. Yi Guogong.

Because Zhaoqing grew up with the King of Qin, even though he could be regarded as unruly towards the King of Qin, but the relationship is not bad, so it's okay.

As for the Seventh and Tenth Princes, she was coaxed by Yun Fenghuang, and now she dare not say words of rejection directly, but if she can throw these two brothers away without anyone noticing, it is estimated that Zhao Qing will never hesitate.

After this situation grows up, you can't see the sky and pinch it?

"How can a child be taken seriously when he is ignorant?" Yun Fenghuang glanced at the attendant and said calmly, "The child who grows up will definitely be sensible. Besides, in three or two years, King Qin and Zhao Qing is about to enter school, when the time comes when they do their homework, I will love Xiao Qi and Xiao Shi so much, and when they come back, I will love them more, won't this matter be resolved? As for the child, I didn't see that our relationship is not good now."

Qing Xin said, can this be the same? There is a huge age gap between your mothers and compatriots, and you still have trouble with Miss Six.

What's more, Yun Fenghuang's four heirs have different biological mothers?

But Yun Fenghuang didn't want to discuss this issue anymore, and waved her down, thinking that a waiter like Xie who came from the lintel still had a narrower vision: none of these four imperial heirs were her own, and they were too kind to her what is the benefit?

It's up to them to compete for favor, so that it will appear that she is important as a concubine, okay?

As for the grievances between the children because of this, Yun Fenghuang doesn't care as long as it doesn't come to her mother and concubine.

After all, Empress Dowager Yuan and Chunjia were the first examples. She didn't want to be the second empress dowager Yuan, a child raised with all her heart and soul, who would soon have a wife and forget her mother.

The Empress Dowager Yuan had no choice, King Duan of Fuyang had only one son and one daughter, and Princess Kunze was much younger than Chunjia, so there was no competition between siblings.

But Yun Fenghuang is not the case. The four heirs she is raising are about the same age. When they grow up, they will fight instinctively.

If you don't seize this opportunity to show the importance of yourself as a adoptive mother, is it still foolish to teach them friendship and harmony?

That's why she firmly insisted that "the child is still young, so it is inevitable that if he is not sensible, he will know how to love brothers and sisters when he grows up." Yin Nvluo came here this day and euphemistically mentioned that Princess Zhaoqing doesn't seem to like the seventh prince very much. Yun Fenghuang said with a smile: " You haven't married Marquis Shouning yet, and you haven't become a concubine, so you don't understand. Children's emotions are very simple. Now that the seventh prince is still young, he can't play with Zhaoqing. Zhaoqing went to see it twice, and the same time The younger brother muttered for a while but didn't get any response, so naturally he didn't like it. After two years, the seventh prince can go down to the ground and run away. Then you tell Zhaoqing not to play with his younger brother, she won't even of."

Yin Nvluo left a nephew like the Seventh Prince because of her sister, and under her father's various balances, she was raised in front of the imperial concubine. trouble.

Hearing the words, he didn't dare to say too much, so he just smiled and said: "So that's the case, the minister only heard about it by accident... I'm afraid that the Seventh Prince will offend His Royal Highness in some way, please think that he is young and ignorant, so don't worry about it." Woolen cloth."

"How old is the Seventh Prince, so what is there to offend?" Yun Fenghuang said softly, "Children, it's normal to be with you today and her tomorrow. Zhaoqing grew up with the King of Qin From time to time, there will be conflicts. At first, Bengong felt like facing a big enemy, and couldn't sleep all night, worrying that their siblings would fall apart from now on, but what should I do? Who knows, Bengong is still worried here, but he is playing around there We got together. This kind of thing has happened many times, so Bengong will be calm. At their age, they are only temporarily angry, and when they get upset for a while, they say they won't be with you and won't play with you. Wait a while I forgot, so we played together again."

Yin Nvluo went back to ask the sister-in-laws in the clan about this, and most of them agreed with what the concubine said, but they also reminded her: "This is all the words of the concubine's family. I heard that Princess Zhaoqing and the king of Qin are very pampered and fierce. At the birthday banquet of the second prince and the third prince, they jointly beat the third prince."

"The two Highnesses may be ignorant." In the end, Yin Qu speculated, "But Concubine Min will not give up the support of our family easily. For this reason, she will not let the Seventh Prince suffer too much. After all..."

Yin Qu said coldly, "Whether it is Princess Zhaoqing or the tenth prince, Concubine Min is young, and the concubines under her hand are also young. Without the heir under her own name, she can be born again, but Yu'er only left the seventh prince." !"

So it doesn't matter whether King Qin, Princess Zhaoqing, and the tenth prince in the future will be the kind of unruly and self-willed people who will make their opponents bad. Concubine Min Gui will definitely give priority to the safety and interests of the seventh prince.

Otherwise, Yin Qu would not have resolutely handed over his grandson to Xuanqing Palace to be raised.

Yin's father and daughter then ignored the court rumors about Zhaoqing's jealousy, but Mrs. Yi Guogong was very sad: "Our family is said to be the imperial concubine's natal family, but in fact, not only is it not close to the imperial concubine, but has a relationship with her." Enmity, in the past, the imperial concubine had only one prince, King Qin, and she was a bit doting on her. Now she has ten princes under her own name, and she also raises the seventh prince, the grandson of the Yin family. How much does she think about King Qin? I heard that Princess Zhaoqing was jealous several times Oh, but the King of Qin never mentioned anything like that... It can be seen that the noble concubine is partial to the princess between the King of Qin and Princess Zhaoqing. Let alone the seventh and tenth princes when they grow up?"

"But King Qin is the eldest son of His Majesty, even if the imperial concubine treats him coldly, she will not ignore him." Duke Yi said lightly, "Besides, as the eldest son, it is also necessary for him to take care of his younger brothers and sisters. King Qin is not like It's a good thing that Princess Zhaoqing is so pampered and pampered."

Mrs. Yi Guogong murmured: "The two of us only have one legitimate son and one legitimate daughter. You harmed your daughter and I harmed my son. Now you can't even compensate your grandson?"

Duke Yi was silent for a while, and said slowly: "What do you mean by His Majesty? Although he favors Concubine Min, he still appointed Gu's daughter as his queen, and also acted as his son for his adoptive prince. If there are no accidents in the future, The East Palace will still come out from the middle palace. If Concubine Min Gui is too powerful, is it what His Majesty wants to see? Especially Xike and the others have just joined the Dingbei Army, which shows His Majesty’s trust and reliance on our family. At this moment, our family Going to please the imperial concubine, what does His Majesty think?"

If it had been before, Mrs. Yi Guogong would have continued to pester her, but after what happened to Xiao Han, her status in the family has been affected, so she dare not say anything at this moment.

Only when I went to see the King of Qin again, I told him to be well-behaved and sensible: "You are the eldest son of your majesty, and the first child under the imperial concubine's empress's knees. Now that you have younger brothers and sisters, you should take more brothers and sisters with you, and don't always think about fighting for favor. , we must learn to share our worries for His Majesty and Your Majesty."

King Qin nodded silently.

But turning around, Yun Fenghuang knew what he said, and Yun Fenghuang was very upset, so he called King Qin to him, held his hand, and said seriously: "Don't listen to your grandmother, she has a lot of thoughts, although It's good intentions, but what you say may not be all right. Although you are the eldest son of His Majesty, how old are you now? You acted coquettishly and foolishly with your father, mother and concubine, so what if you are a little ignorant? When your mother and concubine are your age, You are still jealous with your sixth aunt. The mother-in-law of the concubine did not criticize the concubine for this, they all reasoned with the concubine!"

Are you kidding me, if Mrs. Yi Guogong accepts what the King of Qin teaches, and the Seventh and Tenth Princes don't have the pressure of the eldest brother, what if they don't care so much about the support of their mother and concubine?

Also, King Qin is also the eldest son of Chunjia, second only to his son among the princes, how could Yun Fenghuang make King Qin develop a weak character?

Chunjia doesn't like weak people!

Let alone his children.

Although the emperor did not express his expectations for the emperor's heirs because they were still young, Yun Fenghuang knew that Chunjia loved and cherished talents, and a child who was too cowardly and only filial would definitely not get his special attention of.

In fact, this is not surprising. Young and strong emperors generally like outstanding heirs.

When they get old and frail, they start to taboo against the heirs of the prime of life. At this time, children who are not so smart, can be seen through at a glance, pure filial piety and considerate, and the point is that they can control their throne without threatening them, become Their new favorite.

Therefore, Yun Fenghuang absolutely does not allow Mrs. Yi Guogong to submissively teach King Qin.

After appeasing the King of Qin, she went to report to Chunjia.
