Chapter 120: From a Loving Mother and Filial Piety to a Flying Dog

Due to the young age of the fourth prince, although the status of the birth mother Concubine Xie is not low, she has not been favored since she entered the palace, and she has a weak sense of existence.

Liu Gong didn't notice until the news of his disappearance came out.

Although Chunjia has quite a few heirs now, he is still a prince and the grandson of Lord Yi. When the former court heard the news, they naturally wanted to inquire about the details.

"...The heat of the past two days has not completely subsided, and ice drinks are still served everywhere." Chen Jing stood at his highness and whispered, "Concubine Xie is no exception. I heard that the fourth prince is greedy and eats more during the day. After eating a bowl of nectar ice, I complained of a stomach ache at night. At first I thought it was a cold, but later the imperial doctor arrived and found it to be an intestinal ulcer. Even adults can't stand it. Perhaps the Fourth Prince was young, and at first he took medicine, which relieved a lot, so no one reported it to His Majesty. But it dragged on for two days, and the attack broke out again... Despite the imperial physician's best efforts, in the end The medicine stone is ineffective."

Yun Fenghuang listened indifferently, and said slowly when he came here: "It's also pitiful."

Just let him play by the rules.

Chen Jing nodded, and said: "Concubine Xie doesn't eat or drink now, she seems to have the will to die."

"Let's talk to Duke Yi." Yun Fenghuang said indifferently, "That's their own daughter. If they don't care about it, why should I take the time to worry about it? There are too many people in this palace. Yes, one more of her is not much, and one less of her is not much.”

Two years ago, when she was resentful and resentful, she still wanted to keep Concubine Xie to toss and tidy up slowly.

But now, she is too busy with all kinds of things, and she is too lazy to play with Concubine Xie.

It doesn't matter if this man's son dies, or he guards his son and lives in trembling, as long as he lives on his own accord.

The word spread to Duke Yi's mansion, Mrs. Yi Guo, who had been languid since Xiao Han's mother and son left, finally went into the palace with her body supported, and went to the Tongxia Palace to appease the concubine.

According to Chen Jing's report, it was said that Yun Qingman washed her face with tears at first, and did not respond when she saw Mrs. Yi Guogong, but Mrs. Yi Guogong, from her previous actions, obviously did not have much sincerity towards the concubine daughter. It's just an intention to use it.

It can be seen that after seeing her full of bereavement pain, she probably thought of Yun Shuangyu, Xiao Han, and others, but they cried with her firmly. This move moved Yun Qingman, and her mother The grudge between the two girls has been somewhat eliminated.

"When Madam Yi left, Concubine Xie had already started eating." Chen Jing said, "Concubine Xie's left and right were relieved."

Yun Fenghuang smiled: "Can they not breathe a sigh of relief? No matter how unfavorable Concubine Xie is, she is the Yun family's biological daughter. She has a backer at least one day. If she is gone, who knows what those people will be?" What's the end?"

She asked again, "What did His Majesty say?"

"Your Majesty asked to follow the rules, and also gave some rewards to Concubine Xie."

Chunjia's reaction was within Yun Fenghuang's expectation. He is not the time when his knees were empty a few years ago. Yun Fenghuang and the queen's heir alone don't care too much about it. Other children, such as Speaking of the Second Prince, the Sixth Prince, and the Second Princess, it is basically difficult to see him all year round, except for grand ceremonies.

The fourth prince whose birth mother has been out of favor for a long time, from birth to death, the number of times he met his biological father can probably be counted on one hand.

Of course, the emperor would not be very impressed with this son.

I am not deeply impressed, even if I am my own flesh and blood, the degree of grief is just that.

Besides, it's not that Chunjia has never experienced the pain of bereavement. When King Qi passed away earlier, I didn't see how sad he was... When King Qi landed, although Yuan Niangniang had problems with him, after all years of getting along, At that time, the two sides were still in a love-hate relationship.

He is like that, so why does the fourth prince touch him?

The death of the fourth prince caused a little shock in the palace, and it was over when it was over.

The only thing that played a role was that the concubines paid more attention to raising the emperor's heirs, and they were especially strict about eating, so as not to follow in the footsteps of the fourth prince.

The unforgettable one is probably Concubine Xie.

However, Concubine Xie was usually inconspicuous, and after the limelight passed, everyone's attention quickly turned away from Tongxia Palace.

It didn't take long for the bad battle report to come from northern Xinjiang. It was Hele who succeeded in attacking Xifa. Xifa suffered heavy losses. He left a large number of luggage and retreated overnight. Children, lost in the chaos.

The Dingbei Army was lucky to be safe because they were not stationed at the same place as Xifa, but because of Xifa's defeat, the whole situation changed to a certain extent and began to fall into a disadvantage.

For this reason, the court has been discussing this matter intensively for two consecutive days... However, Chunjia was sinking in front of the court, and returned to the harem as if nothing had happened. After all, from the standpoint of the court, it is reasonable to let Wei He's uncle and nephew consume each other. In this defeat, the main loss was Xifa, so the emperor naturally didn't feel bad.

Only half a month later, Gu Fangshu sent someone to send a report to the imperial capital and told Chunjia that Prince Xifa might think that the Dingbei Army was not very attentive, or it might simply be that the two sides need to strengthen further ties. He proposed to send his eldest son Yixi to the Imperial Capital as a hostage to show his respect for Zhongtu and his sincerity.

Chunjia has nothing to do with this, Xifa is two years older than him, and his eldest son is thirteen this year. It is said that his physical strength is superb, his riding and shooting is exquisite, and he is the son of his first wife. Said that Xifa would bow his head and ears for the sake of his son falling into Guochao's hands, the ruling and opposition parties would probably not believe it.

After all, Xifa is not the only son.

Just considering Xifa's new defeat, now he is feeling anxious, and he hugs Guochao's thigh even more anxiously. If he refuses at this time, I'm afraid he will be in chaos.

So he ordered the Ministry of Rites to tidy up the residence, and he had the right to raise an idler.

He didn't care much about this matter, and the harem didn't even care about it.

Time passed very quickly, and it was winter in the blink of an eye, and the first snow fell in the imperial capital, while the northern land was already covered with ice and snow.

Fighting at this time is very difficult. The two sides tacitly controlled the scale of the battlefield, only sending out small groups of cavalry to harass and spy on each other, while the large army was busy packing up the camp and preparing for the winter.

As the war in the north entered a lull, Chunjia's mind relaxed, and she spent more days in the harem.

So two days before Yixi's arrival in the Imperial Capital, Yi Xingen once again reported that she was pregnant.

Yun Fenghuang looked at Qu Hongzhuan who was smiling forcefully in front of him, and sighed slightly: "You are still young, don't be sad, I will give you a chance when I get a chance later."

Qu Hongzhuan bowed his head and said: "I am ashamed of myself, I always live up to my mother's high expectations."

In fact, this Qu family is not inferior to Yi Xingen in terms of cleverness, and Yi Xingen is the real number one beauty in the harem after all, even if she has always been docile, it is impossible to say that Yun Fenghuang has no idea of ​​defense.

Especially Yishi is Zhaoqing's biological mother.

So in Yun Fenghuang's mind, she very much hoped that it was Qu Hongzhuan who was pregnant this time.

This is also good to check and balance Yi Xingen.

However, the two are about the same age, and Yi Xingen's looks are the most attractive. As a concubine, even if Yun Fenghuang calmly pulls aside, Chunjia will go to Yi's place more often.

At this moment, Yishi was happy but Qu Hongzhuan remained silent, which is also reasonable.

"The fate has not come, how can I blame you? Don't think too much, go back and take care of your body." Yun Fenghuang endured disappointment and comforted Qu Hongzhuan, ordered her to go back, and asked someone to give Yi Xingen that Rewards were given.

Even if the matter is dealt with.

She was not in the mood to pay attention to these things at the moment, but began to stare at King Qin and Princess Zhaoqing to draw red.

After all, in the new year, the siblings will be five years old, and they will start school in another year.

Yun Fenghuang felt that it was time to lay the foundation for them. Although it was said that Kaimeng would not have to do very difficult homework immediately at the age of six, Zhaoqing was fine. King Qin is the eldest son, and he must always be able to set an example for his younger brothers and sisters. The performance can't be worse, can it?

But after Yun Fenghuang observed it, he felt that the king of Qin was just ordinary intelligent, so it would not be safe enough to keep him in stock, and it is better for the stupid bird to fly first.

The two children have never been to school before. I heard that the concubine mother taught painting red. At first, they were very happy and enthusiastic, but soon they started to play. You wipe me, I push you, and they are full of fun. With ink and cinnabar all over his face, he forgot all serious matters, unaware that Yun Fenghuang's face had darkened.

"Your Majesty, your Highnesses are young..." Seeing that the situation was not going well, the Qing people and Chen Jing hurried forward to intercede.

"Small, what a small!" Yun Fenghuang said angrily, "They are all people who are about to enter school and are so ignorant, but I heard that the third prince under the empress' knees, that is what the empress said and did, no matter how well-behaved Now I don’t let them do anything, it’s just for their benefit, so they don’t grow up like this!”

King Qin and Zhaoqing had always been pampered by her, and it was rare for their mother and concubine to have a fit, so they felt a little worried.

The Qing people smoothed things over: "Your Highnesses are also very eager to learn, but they didn't quite understand it for the first time."

He whispered and told them to continue painting red quickly.

The two children picked up the pen in a daze, peeked at the concubine mother, and saw that Yun Fenghuang really showed approval, and they were relieved.

They still don't know much about birth mothers and adoptive mothers at the moment, and they thought Yun Fenghuang was their own mother, because they have always loved each other, and the relationship between mother and child is very harmonious. Seeing Yun Fenghuang posing "I only like children who study hard" Even though King Qin and Princess Zhaoqing didn't like drawing red, and even less like reciting books and reading words, in order to please her, they still bit the bullet and persevered.

It's just that this friendship is limited after all, and it only lasts for seven or eight days, and the two children can't bear it.

On this day, when Yun Fenghuang still stated that I don't like lazy children, but like hardworking and studious children, King Qin still couldn't help but quietly hid under the table and refused to go out: What, the concubine mother has always loved him, so it must be Just saying, right?

When Zhaoqing saw this, she complained to Yun Fenghuang. Her idea was that I had three more words than elder brother.

Yun Fenghuang was very annoyed.

He ordered someone to drag King Qin out, and personally copied the ruler and beat him several times. Seeing that King Qin was about to cry with tears in his eyes, he turned cold and reprimanded him: "You will be enrolled in school next year, and I will give you an early entrance exam at this moment. It’s already a bit slow. You don’t study hard yet, when the time comes, your younger siblings and your companions will all learn faster than you. What are you going to do? Can you hold on to your face? Wait, this palace feels ashamed!"

King Qin burst into tears immediately, he was so wronged: "Maybe younger brothers and sisters also don't like to go to school? At that time, everyone doesn't like it and don't want to study. Isn't it all the same?"

"How do you know that they don't like to go to school? Maybe there are two who are particularly sensible?" Yun Fenghuang hated that iron could not be made into steel, "Besides, don't you want to please your father? Your father likes talents and learning the most. people!"

After moving out of Chunjia, he coaxed the two brothers and sisters to work hard for a few days.

But that's it. Qin Wang and Zhaoqing were used to playing freely before, and they were not eager to learn, and entering school is extremely boring. They persisted for more than half a month, and then let Yun Fenghuang do whatever he wanted. He refused to listen to the facts and reason, so he just wanted to play.

The King of Qin even tried to transfer the pressure to Yun Fenghuang: "How about the concubine mother tell my future classmates that they are not allowed to learn better than my son! In this way, my son will be the best, and I won't lose my concubine face!"

Yun Fenghuang almost had a slap in the face, such a bastard son really wasn't his own!

She looked at Zhaoqing with hope. After all, the child under her name was reliable. Zhaoqing looked at King Qin with the eyes of a fool, and said, "Brother, are you confused? If you do this, won't everyone think we are idiots? "

Alas, the son is unreliable, it is better to be the daughter.

It's a pity that girls can't inherit the throne, otherwise...

Before Yun Fenghuang could finish thinking, he heard Zhaoqing change the subject: "We can beat them! Whoever dares to learn better than us, let's go together! Smash their heads with an inkstone and make them look like idiots. Aren't we the best?"

King Qin's eyes lit up: "It makes sense, it makes sense..."

Before the words finished, seeing Yun Fenghuang slap the table directly, she immediately stopped talking, quickly put on a well-behaved and innocent look, and smiled sweetly at her.

If Chunjia was here, she would probably have softened her heart, but Yun Fenghuang had done a lot of things to please and behave when he was a child, so he didn't like this at all, so he sneered, and asked someone to take a ruler over, and photographed them In front of the two, Qing people came over and announced today's homework: "If you can't do well, I will show you your skin carefully!"

She sincerely wants to be a gentle and loving mother and concubine, but helplessly, the two little bastards don't give her a chance! ! !

Judging from previous experience, the two brothers and sisters felt that their mother and concubine were supposed to scare people, so after Yun Fenghuang left, they immediately ran out to play regardless of the Qing people's obstruction, and then...then they were beaten.

Yun Fenghuang was not relentless at all, he pushed them one by one on the bench, gave them a solid smoke, and even ordered their favorite pastries, saying when they would complete their homework and when they would resume.

When did King Qin and Princess Zhaoqing suffer such grievances, they were stunned for a moment!

In the end, it was howling and crying, and the sound of crying shook the house, scaring the three princesses who came to play with them.

Because the third princess has been playing with her older brothers and sisters these days and has a good relationship, she can't help acting like a baby to Concubine De after she returns, asking if she can talk to her elder brother and sister.

As a result, when Concubine De heard the news, she first explained gently that the concubine was doing it for the good of King Qin and Princess Zhaoqing, and that she would not interfere... Then she looked at the third imperial daughter thoughtfully: "Zi'er is also at this age, and after two years it will be too late." Going to school."

The third princess looked at her and didn't feel sorry for her for a while, she just instinctively felt a chill in her heart, and subconsciously struggled out of her arms: "Mother, concubine, my son wants to go out to play."

"Wait a minute." Concubine De called her, and turned her head to look at her dowry. "The three children have been playing together, and now King Qin and Princess Zhaoqing are starting to go to school. If they are still living in a daze, they will not be able to keep up with them when the time comes." Brothers and sisters are small things, they can't play together and talk together, this..."

The bridesmaids nodded one after another: "Your Majesty said that the imperial concubine's heart is filled with adversity. Since King Qin and Princess Zhaoqing have both started to study, the imperial daughter can't be left behind."

So the next day, the three princesses' favorite small balls and nine-chain jigsaw puzzles were all taken away, and replaced with a whole set of unfamiliar Four Treasures of the Study, as well as the literate palace maid temporarily transferred by Concubine De to act as a teacher.

...I always feel that something is wrong?

The third princess grabbed the pen and looked around in a daze, with big question marks on her small head.
