Chapter 155: The Crisis Is Getting Worse

Thinking of this, Chunjia couldn't help feeling a little bored.

This annoyance was of course aimed at the loving mother, the Empress Dowager.

After all, for him, the most difficult thing to deal with was the conflict between Queen Mother Yuan and Yun Fenghuang.

The two had quarreled several times before, and each time it exhausted him physically and mentally.

After finally calming down for the past two years, Chunjia thought that both the Queen Mother Yuan and Yun Fenghuang should know it well, and there was no reason why they should stop making troubles about trivial matters.

Because this is not making trouble with each other, but torturing the emperor.

At the beginning, he persuaded the Queen Mother and Yun Fenghuang to calm down the incident, the reason was that he was embarrassing himself by doing so... The implication was that if either party continued to make trouble, it was because he didn't take him seriously.

Regardless of whether the Empress Dowager or Yun Fenghuang lives by his attention, no matter what he thinks in his heart or not, he must show the attitude that he attaches the most importance to the emperor, and that he would rather be wronged than feel sorry for the emperor.

Now, the emperor knew very well that the Empress Dowager Yuan wanted to get better treatment for the eighth prince, and she was really worried that the king of Chu would hurt the eighth prince either lightly or seriously, so she did it. It has nothing to do with Yun Fenghuang from the beginning to the end. , Knowing these rumors, how could one not suspect that the Queen Mother Yuan was thinking of moving, and she wanted to provoke something again?

Combined with this year's Shengshou Festival, Chunjia inevitably became suspicious, thinking that the Queen Mother Yuan had not allowed a banquet for many years, but this year she suddenly allowed it. Could it be that she wanted to revive her momentum and interfere in the front and rear palaces? Moreover, I accompanied her to recall a lot of past events at the banquet. To some extent, I may have been misunderstood by the queen mother, thinking that I still supported her?

So on the return journey, this came without any temptation.

Just to test how much the emperor indulged him?

"..." Chunjia thought quickly in his heart, comforted Yun Fenghuang a few words, promised that he would handle the matter properly, and then persuaded her to leave, and when the imperial concubine left, he asked Yan Yin, "Xing How is Ningbo Mansion doing recently?"

Yan Yin said something about the situation, and the Yuan family has been relatively well-behaved in the past two years.

This is something that can’t be helped, the most important empress dowager faintly lost to Yun Fenghuang, the favorite concubine, the three Yuan daughters who entered the palace in a row, Concubine An fell out of favor, Concubine Yuan Xian passed away, Mother Yuan Cistan died earlier and has no weight... In this situation, even a fool would know that he couldn't shake anymore.

They are very law-abiding now, apart from showing off their identities as royal relatives to those who have no background, they dare not provoke any officials with some real power.

Even every time they entered the palace to visit the eighth prince with the empress, the female relatives dressed very low-key.

Chunjia listened, and ordered lightly: "Look for the ordinary people who have been bullied by them, and ask what's going on?"

Yan Yin's complexion changed slightly when he heard the words, and immediately bowed his head in agreement.

The emperor looked at the copper drain in the chariot again, and said: "The king of Chu has an accident, the queen is very sad, and my heart is also heavy... How about this, the dinner will be served at the queen's side today, and I will go to accompany the queen , also look at the King of Chu."

Not only this time, until returning to the palace, Chunjia basically stayed at the queen's place, and even found time to talk with the king of Chu every day.

This move shocked the palace and the imperial court, because it was an open secret that the empress was out of favor and the king of Chu was out of favor, but he did not expect that something happened to the king of Chu that would attract the emperor's concern.

It can be seen that this abolished prince still has a lot of weight in the emperor's mind.

"After all, he is the first son of a son-in-law. At the beginning, His Majesty and the Empress spent a lot of effort to raise and educate." Everyone couldn't help but think, "The abolished is abolished, but it's not that His Highness the King of Chu didn't learn well. It's because of bad luck." Jia, but you are already a prince, how could you be unlucky, in the final analysis, you must have been killed... The empress has been distressed for the past two years, how could your majesty have no pity?"

This treatment has been comparable to the time when Zhaoqing broke his leg for the second time, so everyone thought it was true.

There were also some people who could not see it clearly or had other plans, and talked to Yun Fenghuang in private, implying that she would call the emperor away from the queen... But Yun Fenghuang directly complained that he was sick, and did not see anyone at all.

"Mother Concubine, you are sick, why don't you ask someone to invite Father over here?" Outsiders wondered how the concubine, who has always been domineering, would be afraid of the Queen, and wondered if Chunjia really had a heart for the Queen mother and son this time, Even the noble concubine didn't dare to disturb her, but no one dared to ask Yun Fenghuang directly.

Of course King Qin and Zhaoqing dared, and now the two children were tired of muttering in her arms, "Royal Father hasn't seen you for a long time, nor did you see Erchen and Zhaoqing... Even Erchen went to see you." Royal Father, Royal Father is just asking the ministers to spend more time with Fifth Younger Brother."

King Qin said unhappily, "I don't want to accompany my fifth brother, I don't like him because he bullies Zhaoqing!"

Yun Fenghuang smiled, stretched out his hand to touch his small face, and said softly: "Your fifth younger brother was indeed very naughty before, and the mother and concubine didn't like him either! But now, he really suffered. In the future, people will have to carry them when they go in and out, and they can no longer run around... Do you think it is pitiful?"

Because of their young age, King Qin and Zhaoqing didn't have a clear idea, and they didn't realize the pain of bad behavior from now on.

The two children are smart, so their choice is to carefully observe the face of the concubine mother, and then decide whether to express their pity or not...

Yun Fenghuang stared at them with a smile.

The siblings looked at each other, and Zhao Qing quietly pinched King Qin.

If this was left before, King Qin would definitely jump up and argue with her, refusing to give an inch.

But after Zhaoqing broke his leg, everyone inside and outside persuaded King Qin to give way to Zhaoqing, including Chunjia. I got used to the elder brother's appearance.

At this moment, he glared at Zhaoqing sullenly, and didn't say anything, but only probed resentfully: "Well... the fifth younger brother is really... um... a bit pitiful?"

"It's very pitiful!" Yun Fenghuang sighed, and said, "So if you have time in the future, you should love this little brother more."

Anyway, a stupid and crippled prince, if he treated him better, he wouldn't be a troublemaker, and he could give the two children a good-hearted and friendly reputation in front of Chunjia and foreign ministers.

King Qin and Zhaoqing reluctantly complied.

After all, they are brothers who seldom meet and have had conflicts. The two of them are still a little curious about the seventh and ninth princes who are under Yun Fenghuang's knees and the concept of "we are together". Half-brothers and sisters, but they are estranged after all.

Not very willing.

Yun Fenghuang didn't care either, originally he didn't want them to have a sincere love with the King of Chu, did they?

Be obedient, just pretend.

So the next day, the king of Qin and Zhaoqing, who had been repeatedly told by her, went to the queen together, and brought some little things that children of this age liked, saying that they were visiting the king of Chu.

Since the king of Chu was rescued, although people from all over the place came to inquire, even the empress dowager and the two empress dowagers sent things and said words of comfort, but the emperor's heirs did not come.

This is because it is still on the way, and there is such an example as the king of Chu. Other concubines are afraid that the children will encounter similar accidents when they go in and out. When the child comes to him, he will suffer.

Therefore, King Qin and Zhaoqing were the first couple to visit the heirs of King Chu.

Especially Zhaoqing was intelligent and had a good memory. Although she didn't quite understand the words of friendship and harmony that Yunfenghuang taught them, and she didn't take the part she understood, she still recounted them in a childlike voice.

The eldest princess who has inherited the good looks of her biological father and biological mother is the most beautiful imperial heir. When she recites seriously with big grape-like eyes, even if she knows that such an old child can speak in such an orderly manner, she must have been taught. People can't help being moved.

When the pair of heirs left after visiting the king of Chu, the queen's attendants couldn't help but say: "Although the concubine is not a good concubine, she still cares about her face. The loving mother, the empress dowager, is nominally the grandmother of the heirs. After all, if there is no blood relationship, there is no blood relationship, who is the grandmother, willing to entrap her grandson like this?"

"..." Gu Zhen silently looked at the brothers and sisters who were surrounded and disappeared in the team, and then slowly said after a while, "The imperial concubine used to do things, there was no shortage of unreasonable actions, except that your majesty is partial and deliberately said that she is virtuous, what is she doing? Did she act virtuously at that time? Back then, when the fourth prince was gone, Yun Jieyu was still her sister in name. Did she ever let the two heirs go to the Tongxia Palace to put on a show? The second prince and the second daughter were in danger one after another. Has she ever taken care of it? This time King Chu had an accident, but she immediately let the two children come and taught them so many nice words, what do you think she wants to do?"

The attendants were startled, and they didn't dare to make a sound.

Thinking from the standpoint of Zhonggong, it's all right to want to be a queen!

That's why I changed my temper and started to be a good person in advance.

She even taught her children to be very cute and cute, to prove that she is not only virtuous, but also teaches the emperor's heirs to be worthy of the position of queen!

...So the group of people returned to the palace, and heard that the third prince had decided to be a vegetarian for a year for King Chu and Zhaoqing, and copied some scriptures to pray for blessings.

"Isn't this one who has always been a loving mother? Has she changed her mind now?" Yun Fenghuang raised his eyebrows when he heard the words, and sneered, "It's fine to copy the scriptures, vegetarian? The third prince is growing up , will be enrolled soon, when the time comes, don't say anything else, just say that he is only a vegetarian in the riding and archery class, can he stand it?"

Since I was poor in culture and rich in martial arts, what I said was that the cost of practicing martial arts was high.

Those who want to find their way out by practicing martial arts must first have a good background. Poor families can only study if they want to get ahead.

According to Yun Fenghuang's thinking, even if he wanted the third prince to win the reputation of being a friendly brother and sister, the other conditions were, why bother to be a vegetarian?

"Your Majesty, the third prince will not move the three meals outside for others to watch." Chen Jing said softly, "The empress told him so, let him continue to eat meat in private, even if he knows it outside, who can catch it What? It doesn’t matter if you have two vegetarian meals at the occasional banquet.”

Yun Fenghuang said: "But everyone knows all of this, who else can move?"

Having said that, her face was a little dignified.

After all, I am also under the support of the Jiang family, and because of Jiang's tendency to treat the concubine as her own, I have become a model for the ladies in the Northland.

Therefore, Yun Fenghuang is very aware of the importance of fame.

The power and status of the Gu family is even higher than that of the Xie family. Back then, the Jiang family was able to create a gentle, virtuous, talented and beautiful daughter who was able to make her such an arrogant and domineering daughter. She is simply the daughter-in-law most wanted by everyone in the world... The third prince is just pretending now Look, who knows if she will be promoted by the Gu family as a queen who is well educated and can be called a natural mother of the world?

... To put it bluntly, the Yun family is still weak!

Yun Fenghuang secretly sighed.

King Qin is the grandson of the Yun family at any rate. Apart from visiting the palace from time to time, has the Yun family done anything else to support him?

No!

This kind of foreign family is simply tasteless.

It's a pity to discard it if it's tasteless to eat.

Yun Fenghuang pondered for a while, sighed secretly, and said: "Forget it, come and prepare the chariot, I will go and have a good chat with the queen."

I originally planned to use it in the future, but thinking about the changes in the past two years, the plan is not as fast as the change, who knows if it will be useful in the future?

Still don't keep it.
