Chapter 14: Prepare for Danger in Times of Peace

At the beginning, Rou Kun was pregnant when she first entered the palace, but because of her young age, she had a miscarriage immediately, and was advised by the imperial doctor to wait two years before going to bed, so Rou Kun basically stayed alone in the vacant room for the past two years.

At the beginning of the year, when the days were over, Gu Zhen reported the matter to Chun Jia, and was re-enrolled in the ranks of servants.

I don't know if this foreign princess has Yizi's physique or it's just a coincidence. It hasn't been long before there is good news again.

"Ask someone to back up the generous gift and send it over." Yun Fenghuang ordered, "Although Mrs. Qing Shu was the leader of the favors at the osmanthus banquet, Rou Kun was also on the list after all. Let the people below watch, don't call What's wrong with her pregnancy?"

She didn't have a good relationship with Rou Kun before, but she didn't have any deep hatred.

Next, as long as Rou Kun doesn't take the initiative to provoke her, Yun Fenghuang doesn't care at all about her having children.

only……

"Although the position of virtuous concubine is vacant, Mrs. Roukun is just pregnant, so she is directly promoted to the position of concubine, isn't it inappropriate?" Yun Fenghuang frowned slightly, and said slowly, "It's not because of the concubine's intention. Suppress Mrs. Roukun, after all, I still remember what happened at the osmanthus banquet. I just asked someone to help look at her body yesterday. I thought that even if His Majesty wants to praise her, I should first Jin Qi is a concubine, and after giving birth to an heir smoothly, he will be promoted to a virtuous concubine, so it will be safe. Anyway, no one is suitable to be promoted to a virtuous concubine, so there is no need to rush."

A few days ago, the virtuous concubine Yuan Zhiniang passed away, because she was not Chunjia's favorite concubine, and the Xingning uncle's mansion was not very respectable in front of the emperor. It was because of the Empress Dowager Yuan's face that the word "Jing Shun" was posthumously named "Jing Shun". Concubine Xian is on the same list as Concubine Wen Hui, who died last year.

Such a vacancy in the position of Concubine Wan, during this period of time, Concubine Wan and Xuan Zhaoyi have made up their minds, and even played Yun Fenghuang's tone euphemistically.

But neither Yun Fenghuang nor the queen let go, and they both planned to leave this seat vacant for the time being and leave it to their own people in the future.

Now that Chunjia suddenly proposes to give Rou Kun's wife Jin Xianfei, Yun Fenghuang will naturally object.

It's just that she knows in her heart that Chunjia's move is probably not because she loves Mrs. Rou Kun, and it may have a lot to do with Wei He's affairs, so it is definitely not possible to directly object, and she can only hope for a compromise in the event of an emergency.

Sure enough, the emperor said in a slow voice: "What you said is right. Normally, I would definitely not refuse to listen. But the country has already responded to the request of Prince Xifa, and sent troops to Weihe soon. Prince Xifa mentioned Roukun in his letter. , the country will always have something to say.”

Prince Xifa is the fifth son of Wei He's late Khan Mu'e, not his direct son, but it is rumored that he is quite skilled and lucky.

Previously, the king’s tent was broken by Hele, Mu E was captured, and the Da Yan family fled hastily with their young son. Many wives and children of Mu E either fell into the hands of Hele, died in chaos, or fled in all directions... But the escaped Those were basically caught when Hele searched and searched around under the banner of Mu'e.

Xifa escaped from a tribe that favored concubines, and persuaded that tribe to hide her whereabouts for herself, avoiding Hele's pursuit.

So the news of Mu'e's death came out, and he immediately used the banner of revenge for Mu'e, and got the support of Mu'e's wife and mother clan. Now he is entangled with many Mu'e remnants, rectified the troops, and persuaded the imperial court to send troops to help , intending to fight to the death with Hele.

At such a time, Chunjia would naturally not be stingy with the position of a virtuous concubine to enhance the friendship with her allies.

Yun Fenghuang felt regretful and knew that he could not object, so he said: "So that's the case, but the concubine is too worried."

After answering the matter, she couldn't help but get tired of Chunjia asking about the war in northern Xinjiang.

"The war hasn't started yet, so let's just do that." Chunjia said with a faint smile, "Actually, I don't want to do such a waste of people and money. However, Hele is ambitious and invades our country first. As the Son of Heaven, I always want to It is to avenge the people who suffered in the past in northern Xinjiang."

"Your Majesty is wise." Yun Fenghuang echoed, "Wei He's wolfish ambition, if you don't teach him a lesson, sooner or later he will bring disaster to the frontiers. Fortunately, your majesty is so talented, so that there will be peace in the country."

She coaxed the emperor a few words, and was told that everything was being prepared in an orderly manner, and that Guochao was very confident, so she resigned.

The matter for Mrs. Roukun and Concubine Jin Xian was passed on to Chongchang Palace in the form of oral order that afternoon. The Queen had no objection to this, but she was sick on the bed and could not preside over it herself, so she ordered Yun Fenghuang to cook with Concubine Shu.

This is not an embarrassing thing for the noble concubine Shu, it is compared to the regulations when I was registered as the fourth concubine.

However, Mrs. Rou Kun spread bad news on the second day of her acceptance, saying that she was pregnant because of the cumbersome ceremony of her acceptance.

Although the emperor and the empress did not blame anyone for this, and only asked the imperial doctor to give Rou Kun a good pregnancy, Concubine Shu went to the Huanhua Palace to tell Yun Fenghuang for a long time: "...if you don't follow the rules, maybe Let’s just say that we were negligent on purpose, and following the rules, she couldn’t stand it anymore, and told us in the middle, can we give her a way? It’s as if we deliberately made things difficult for her!”

"Anyway, your majesty didn't say anything to the empress, so it can be seen that he didn't blame us." Yun Fenghuang said lightly, "just send some things over there. Everyone knows that her position as a virtuous concubine is only for state affairs. Since she didn't say anything, some palace officials speculated that she should be fined."

Concubine Shu murmured: "Who knows if she said it in private, so people spread it? Madam, you remember, this is not a fuel-efficient lamp."

But after all, Mrs. Rou Kun didn't say she didn't do anything, she also acquiesced that it was an accident and she couldn't blame anyone.

From this day on, she will be raised in her own palace, basically not showing her face.

After summer, news came from the north that the Dingbei Army had already dispatched except for a troop left to continue guarding Yanzhou.

Xiao Chen started to become a vegetarian for this reason, because Xie Xiliu was also in the army.

Originally, he had fame and fame, so he didn't need to go to the battlefield to gain achievements, but Xie Jian and other parents believed that after Xie Wuzheng was forced to resign and go into seclusion, Xie's children are now scattered, and none of them is outstanding.

If he missed this opportunity, he might never be able to catch up with Yin's and Ouyang's family status in his life.

Although the Xie family has many children who have joined the army, how can the status of grassroots people be the same as that of Xie Xiliu, who is famous and famous?

In short, Xie Jian resolutely drove all three direct sons into the army except Xie Xiaoyu, who had cast himself under Cui Wan's family, as well as two older grandsons.

"Since ancient times, there have been no good things that come for nothing. Our family can have a mother like this. It is the virtue of many generations of ancestors. Now if you still cherish your wealth and life and only think about relying on your mother for everything, even if you get lucky for a while, it will be very difficult. For a long time." Xie Jian persuaded the Jiang family who was not willing to part with it this way, "In the end, you have to make real contributions to gain a foothold in the ruling and opposition parties. Just look at the Ji family, no matter how bad they are, they helped His Majesty the late Emperor Shenzong win the throne It is an indisputable fact that he was successful, and that he assisted the late emperor Shenzong in governing the world. Otherwise, he would not have been able to suppress Xiaozong for so long."

In fact, the Jiang family is not a person without vision, and he also understands that it will not work for the family to rely entirely on their daughters. Besides, Yun Fenghuang still counts on the prosperity of the family to rely on her.

It's just that she has four biological sons in total, and Xie Jian sent three of them to the battlefield. Even knowing that they must have preferential treatment, they are much safer than ordinary soldiers, and she is really worried.

However, Xie Jian and the rest of Xie's family are determined. Basically, as long as they are physically strong and at the right age, they either have a better way like Xie Xiaoyu, or their temperament is too loose or dull to be suitable. Those who entered the ranks, or had no heirs under their knees, were basically sent to the battlefield.

"The Wei family is the husband's family of His Royal Highness Princess Dachang, and his children are vying to be the first to enter this battle, let alone my Xie family?" Yun Fenghuang's grandfather and the current Patriarch of the Xie family are very firm, "And my family The children are prosperous, even if something goes wrong with these children, as long as they can earn their merits and have a concubine in the palace, they will not wrong the family after all!"

Not only the Xie family, but even the Jiang family wanted to take the opportunity to fight.

After all, wealth and wealth are in danger, and if they follow the steps, how long will they have to survive? It's still because the credits on the battlefield came quickly, especially the existence of Yun Fenghuang, which guaranteed that no one could take their credit.

At such a time, just such a guarantee is enough to make many people jealous.

As people who have lived in the Northland for generations, their children have grown up practicing riding and archery since they were young. Their parents and grandparents are not even unfamiliar with fighting against Weihe. Violence.

... Yun Fenghuang only heard the news from the Jiang family who entered the palace after the news of the army's departure reached the imperial capital. It was his own idea, why did Brother Ten and the others all join the army? This...the sword has no eyes in front of the battle, but why bother to bring two nephews?"

Jiang Shi actually argued with her husband in this way, but now in front of her daughter, she said: "With your current status, how can the Dingbei Army not take care of you? Besides, this time Dingbei Army It's not for defending the family and defending the country, it's just to help that prince Wei He. If the situation is not good, how can Uncle Zhaowu not take care of his subordinates? The family bought armored horses for them, so it is expected that there will be no serious problems. Sharpen your knowledge, and it will be of use to you in the future.”

Yun Fenghuang sighed, and said: "They are all blood and blood, I hope they are safe and sound, and nothing else matters."

This is a lie, and she hopes that many people in the clan, especially the brothers and nephews, will have two talents, or those who are purely lucky and make great achievements, so that she will look good in front of the emperor.

So even though he looked worried in front of Jiang Shi, he was quite in favor of his grandfather's idea in his heart.

Where do so many pies come from in the sky?

For Mrs. Xie, having a Concubine Min like Yun Fenghuang was a gain for nothing, but how much did Yun Fenghuang pay for climbing to this position?

This is still luck to check and balance each other in the palace. On the eve of Chunjia's pro-government, if he enters the palace in this situation, no matter how dexterous a fairy is, it will be useless: the emperor's mind is on the war in northern Xinjiang, and Yun Fenghuang's status as a favorite concubine Stable, with many heirs, high-ranking concubines already have a tacit understanding... It is difficult for a newcomer to serve him a few more times, let alone seek others.

The Xie family wants to be on par with the rich and powerful, and it is purely a dream if they don't pay a considerable price.

And Mrs. Xie is really well, the real pain is the Gu family and Queen Gu Zhen.

I am afraid that Gu Fangshu's children of the Gu family, headed by Gu Fangshu, will be unfavorable in the battle and will be punished together with the previous incidents, and I am also afraid that if I perform too well, I will be the master... In short, the Queen's condition is getting worse and worse, and she will not even be able to go to the summer vacation in the near future The imperial doctor emphasized that she couldn't stand the bumps along the way.

When Chunjia heard the words, she agreed to stay, just to take care of the new concubine Xian who was not stable because of the fetal image.

Princess Yun'an was also the one who needed to stay in the imperial capital for the summer vacation this year. She was pregnant again and only found out. Afraid of accidents on the road, Mrs. Zheng asked her to stay too, and only went to rest on the Zhuangzi outside the city.

After Yun Fenghuang heard the news, he sighed and thought of Princess Suian and Xie Wuzheng.

If Suian can live...

Gathering her mind, she asked someone to send some ice to the side hall of Mianfu Palace, to Shen Taipin and Wu Taipin, these two concubines who were the late emperor lost their right to escape the summer heat after the commoner Ji Sheng left.

Because the Empress Dowager doesn't like them to follow, and as the stepfather's concubine, they have no friendship with the loving Empress Dowager and the Holy Mother Empress Dowager, and their relationship with Chunjia is even weaker. When Chunjia didn't mention it during the summer vacation, they were also acquiesced Stay in Miyagi.

Yun Fenghuang had no relationship with them, and was too lazy to take them with her. She just gave them something to find an excuse, so she went to Chunjia the next day and said, "When I was packing up yesterday, I thought of two things. The concubine had to stay in the palace, so the concubine gave them some ice. It was alright with the concubine Wu. After all, His Royal Highness Princess Yunan came to visit the palace from time to time, so she stayed there instead. The concubine Shen was much older. See I'm tired too. Do you need to talk to Her Highness Princess Sui'an to distract the princess and stop worrying about infertility?"

"It's probably because of the hot weather, Ah Huang reminded me." But Chunjia said softly, "I'll order people to send more heat-relieving food to the two concubines later."

This is because they did not intend to let Princess Sui'an and his wife come back for the sake of Taipin Shen.

Yun Fenghuang was disappointed in her heart, but at present there is no particularly good chance for Xie Wuzheng to come back... She did not argue with Chunjia, and only sighed softly: "Your Majesty is kind, the two concubines must be very grateful."

Also resigned and left.

On the way back to Huanhua Hall, she pondered, Chunjia's attitude, if the Xie family's children make great contributions...Although this is unlikely, after all, Gu Fangshu and others are not just for nothing, I'm afraid Chunjia will not either. There will be endless promotion and cooperation.

He is a good emperor and he learned the lessons of Xiaozong very much.

Do not abolish the public for personal reasons.

But for her, it's really not a good thing.

She felt she had to figure it out.

The next day, something happened in the court, which made Chunjia very angry.
