Chapter 167: Gong Xiangwen
Chunjia raised her eyebrows slightly when she heard the words: "Oh? Hurry up and tell me, Ah Huang!"
In fact, he is not very hopeful, after all, in Chunjia's view, this situation is difficult for him, so how good is the concubine's idea?
But after all, she is a favorite concubine, and she worked so hard to share his worries while she was pregnant, so she decided that no matter how unreliable Yun Fenghuang's words were, she would praise her first anyway.
Hearing Yun Fenghuang sternly said: "What the Holy Mother Empress Dowager said inside and outside the meaning is nothing more than that after Kunze Princess came out of the cabinet, her knees were empty and lonely, so she envied the loving mother Empress Dowager. Didn’t you see the Holy Mother Empress Dowager compete with the loving Empress Dowager everywhere?”
Empress Dowager Qu is not stupid, she is very clear that she is inferior to Empress Dowager Yuan in Chunjia's mind, if she fights for everything, it will be tantamount to actively making Chunjia hate herself, and it will waste the poor relationship between her own son and her in vain. affection.
And some things about basic necessities of life are meaningless.
So even after openly tearing up with Queen Mother Yuan, she has been very low-key.
It is to save affection and use it at critical moments.
After all, it was effective. Now that Chunjia listened to Yun Fenghuang's words, although she still suspected that Empress Dowager Qu was just trying to find fault with Empress Yuan, in order to avenge Queen Mother Yuan's previous act of detaining Princess Kunze from reuniting her mother and daughter. But he still hesitated, and said, "If that's the case, what does Ah Huang mean?"
Forget it, Ah Huang has always been brooding over her children, and she can't help but feel that the queen mothers have the same attitude towards me as her... But in fact, not all mothers cherish their children very much, and even love others. child.
The emperor thought so, but Yun Fenghuang said: "Your Majesty, forgive me for speaking bluntly: Although the two empress dowagers have always been raised in the palace, they are still the elders of Fuyang King's lineage. The young heirs of King Yang entered Jiashan Palace to accompany the Empress Dowager? In this way, the loneliness of the Empress Dowager can be soothed and chaos in the palace can be avoided. As for King Fuyang, I believe that such an honor, he Definitely won't refuse."
Nor is it eligible to refuse.
"..." Chunjia hugged her quite pleasantly, "Ah Huang is really smart! Why didn't I expect that?!"
Indeed, Empress Dowager Qu didn't say it clearly now, she kept saying that her knees were empty and lonely, and that the Princess could not be with her all the time after she got married, so she was euphemistically forcing Chunjia to adopt a prince for her.
But firstly, there is no suitable prince in the palace for her to raise, and secondly, Queen Mother Yuan will definitely not let it go, so there will be trouble again?
However, if Empress Dowager Qu was allowed to raise Gongxiang Ruoheng's heir, this problem would not exist!
Not only blocked Queen Mother Qu's mouth, so that she could not make a fuss about being lonely and lonely, but also kept Queen Mother Yuan calm: Queen Mother Qu raised only a vassal prince, and the six princes in front of her were the blood of the emperor. !
As for Fuyang Wang and his wife's thoughts, Chunjia and Yunfenghuang have the same attitude: that's not important.
Chunjia even felt that what the imperial concubine said was right, the King of Fuyang could not refuse such an honor, and if he refused, he would be ignorant of flattery.
After all, there are so many vassal kings in the whole country, whose children are raised in the palace and taken care of by the emperor's own mother?
Chunjia was in a good mood immediately, and praised Yun Fenghuang solidly, and went to Jiashan Palace the next day to discuss the matter with the Empress Dowager Qu.
To his surprise, Empress Dowager Qu readily agreed when she heard the words. She didn't care at all that Empress Dowager Yuan raised a decent prince, while she raised only the son of a vassal prince.
This made Chunjia very relieved.
Although the reason given by Yun Fenghuang is very good, but considering that Queen Mother Qu's original intention is to compete with Queen Mother Yuan, it is very possible that she disagrees with this suggestion, and even wants to raise the prince directly. .
Unexpectedly, Empress Dowager Qu agreed immediately.
It's as if she just lacks a child, Cheng Huan, and she has no intention of comparing herself with Queen Mother Yuan.
Regardless of whether she really thought so, or didn't want to conflict with Chunjia, Chunjia was happy to see it happen anyway.
It's just that Empress Dowager Qu also euphemistically put forward a request, that is, after this child came to her side, Empress Dowager Yuan could not interfere in any sense.
In this regard, Queen Mother Yuan has a criminal record, and Princess Kunze is an example.
Chunjia thought for a while before agreeing. After all, Empress Dowager Qu gave way. If Empress Dowager Yuan continued to be aggressive, it would be unreasonable.
"The Ai family can rest easy." Seeing this, Empress Dowager Qu sighed, and said, "Your Majesty is busy with government affairs and has no time to come to Ai's family. Even if His Majesty is willing to come, Ai's family is very sorry. If you can have the prince to accompany you, Aijia can be more lively here."
The queen mother nodded, this matter will be easy to handle. Chunjia sent someone to send a message to the King of Fuyang, telling him to choose a sensible and considerate, good-looking, sweet-mouthed, and of course a male heir who has not yet grown up, and send him to the Imperial Capital to be the Empress Dowager's knee.
"Your majesty is considerate of His Majesty, but in this way, won't the empress dowager and the empress dowager not be able to quarrel?" After Chen Jing found out, she asked Yun Fenghuang in private, "In this case, it would be too cheap for the empress dowager." Empress Dowager!"
Yun Fenghuang smiled slightly and said, "Do you know why the Holy Mother Empress Dowager can't beat the Loving Empress Dowager?"
Who doesn't know the reason, Chen Jing said with a smile: "Your Majesty, it's naturally because our Majesty was raised by a loving mother, the Empress Dowager, so we are naturally closer to the loving mother, the Empress Dowager."
"Right or wrong." Yun Fenghuang squinted his eyes and said slowly, "Of course the loving mother, the Empress Dowager, has a deep bond with His Majesty. Even this Palace must act cautiously, so as not to offend His Majesty. But in the final analysis, it is the Holy Mother." The empress dowager is too weak. When the common man Ji Sheng was still the empress dowager, even if His Majesty had his heart for the empress dowager, he couldn’t even hold a birthday for the empress dowager! Just imagine if the empress dowager could have the empress dowager at that time What is the status and power of a loving mother, the Empress Dowager?"
Chen Jing smiled and said: "This... Your Majesty, even if the Fuyang Palace is on the side of the Holy Mother Empress Dowager, I'm afraid they can't do anything to the loving Mother Empress Dowager?"
"If the Fuyang Palace was on the side of the Queen Mother, the situation would still be like this?" Yun Fenghuang leaned back, glanced at him, and said with a smile, "You should know what the Queen Mother is now. Situation: Her only reliance is His Majesty's sympathy for her pregnancy in October and forbearance over the years. But this kind of sympathy is not as good as the filial piety to the loving mother Empress Dowager. Therefore, the Holy Mother Empress Dowager never dared to She took the initiative to pick things up, and even found fault with the loving mother, the Empress Dowager, as long as she was famous, she would not dare to speak up! Why? Is it because I am afraid that I will seek justice from His Majesty, and His Majesty will be annoyed. Without relying on?"
"However, if through raising the prince this time, we can get in touch with the feudal lord, in the future...when your majesty needs the clansmen, even if she can help you with a word, it will be useful to your majesty, and deserves to be treated politely by your majesty! "
How can the status obtained purely by sympathy and pity be as stable as the status that I can use to fight for it?
The most important thing is that the two empress dowagers are now in the deep palace, but the empress dowager Yuan has been at the forefront for many years, and the palace knows that the Sacred Heart is in favor of the spring palace, even if the empress dowager Qu wants to win over some people , there is no way to start.
In this case, compared with the Empress Dowager Yuan who also adopted a prince, it has no real use except to make Chunjia feel that she is picking things up.
After all, the prince is said to be noble, and if the mother’s family background is good, the biological mother can take care of him. Even if the biological mother dies due to dystocia, such as Concubine Wen Huixian, her natal family will probably arrange for her favorite concubine or even the queen to adopt, instead of the insignificant queen mother .
The prince's biological mother came from a humble background, and the mother and son will have to rely on the Empress Dowager to take care of them in the future, let alone bring any help to the Empress Dowager.
In contrast, although the son of King Fuyang is only a prince and not as honorable as a prince, he has the help of the palace outside, so he can get what he needs with the Queen Mother.
Yun Fenghuang didn't reveal anything about this arrangement to Empress Dowager Qu in advance, she believed that Empress Dowager Qu would understand.
When winter came, the third son of King Fuyang was sent to the imperial capital. The child was named Gong Xiangwen, who was only five years old. I like the smart look.
Empress Dowager Qu was very satisfied with him, and within two days she sent someone to Taichu Palace to ask Chunjia, "Wen'er is six years old, can I go to school with the emperor's heirs?"
This was not an unreasonable request, and Chunjia immediately agreed.
But Empress Dowager Qu continued to point out afterwards that the heirs of the emperor had companions in the school, even if the princes were not as noble as the princes, they were all clan relatives anyway, at least they should be accompanied by a companion.
After pondering for a while, Chunjia directly pointed to a grandson of the Marquis of Jingning, named Ke Hong, who was the same age as Gong Xiangwen, who was accompanying the prince to read.
After Yun Fenghuang found out, he sighed and said, "Your Majesty is Your Majesty."
From Chunjia's promise to accompany Gong Xiangwen but not to give Queen Mother Qu the chance to make decisions, I know that he has already reacted suspiciously and does not want Queen Mother Qu to have full wings.
And choosing Ke Hong as a companion, there is another plan, which is to further win over Ke Cong, Hou Jingning.
If such an emperor sincerely let her be the empress, or even the empress dowager in the future, how much peace of mind should she have?
But now you have to go against his will, life is really hard.
Yun Fenghuang was depressed for a while, then received news from the Xiaojiang family, saying that the Zheng family intended to let Princess Jinxi also enter the Royal Academy in the future, and be classmates with the emperor's heirs.
"Why don't you just tell His Majesty about this matter?" She said, "Your Majesty even agreed with Gong Xiangwen, how could you wrong the late Emperor's granddaughter?"
"Your Majesty, you don't know that there are only two princesses under His Royal Highness Princess Yun'an, but Princess Yushan disappeared not long ago, and now Princess Jinxi is His Royal Highness's life-root-son." Chen Jing whispered, "These days, His Highness has been watching with a good eye, not allowing the princess to leave his eyes for a moment... No, right now, the atmosphere in the Elder Princess's mansion is so tense... The Zheng family is also afraid that His Highness will suffer if this continues. Can't stop. Furthermore, although His Majesty has always treated the eldest princess mother and daughter kindly, it would be a good thing for the princess if he could be a classmate with the heirs."
When Chunjia was in power, if nothing happened, as long as Yun An didn't commit suicide, the wealth and honor of himself and his children would be guaranteed.
But when Chunjia passed away and the new emperor became the new ruler, time had passed and people's affection for Xiaozong would have almost faded away. At that time, it would be hard to say whether Yun'an and her heirs would still receive the continued sympathy of the emperor.
Therefore, the Zheng family felt that Princess Jinxi should get acquainted with his cousins now for future preparation.
This kind of consideration is human nature, but considering that the death of Princess Yushan was quite strange before, Yun Fenghuang said in a deep voice: "I don't want to be the master of this matter, I will ask His Majesty for instructions when I have time later. It's just Jin How old is Master Xi? It's still too early to enter school."
Chen Jing smiled and said: "What Zheng means is that the princess is not as intelligent as the emperor's heirs. If you go to school early, you can accumulate more knowledge."
Understood, the Zheng family didn't expect the princess to learn anything, they just wanted to have some friendship with the emperor's heirs.
Yun Fenghuang smiled and said: "I know, let's talk to His Majesty later. Let's see what His Majesty means."
What Chunjia meant was that he disagreed: "Jin Xi is still young, besides, since Yun An hasn't come out of the sad news of Yushan's death these days, won't it be her life to let Jin Xi leave her side? "
His attitude was expected by Yun Fenghuang. The real culprit who murdered Princess Yushan is still unclear. What accident happened to the princess in the school?
How did Chunjia explain to the outside world?
Is it because he admits that he is not capable of protecting his niece, or is it that he admits that he is capable but does not pay attention to it, which makes the only niece cool?
And what's more dangerous is, what if the person who wants to murder Princess Jinxi also murders the emperor's heir?
No matter how much Chunjia didn't care about her children, she didn't want them to be murdered for nothing.
"The concubine also thinks the same way, but Mrs. Zheng feels that His Highness's current situation is a bit worrying." Yun Fenghuang said, "Either the concubine will tell the empress tomorrow and ask the empress to arrange an imperial physician." Go and have a look?"
The imperial doctor showed Yun An that he was frustrated.
He prescribed some medicine, but when he went back to report to the palace, he repeatedly said that this kind of thing still needs to be taken care of by oneself, otherwise, no matter how much medicine is taken, it will be of no real use.
"Yun An is really too, alas." The Queen sighed and said, "But she doesn't think about herself, at least she thinks about Jin Xi. She is still so young. Xi? Besides, she is still so young, she will definitely have other children in the future."
She said so, but within half a month, Yun An really had good news again.
But before the palace had time to congratulate Yun An, Chunjia heard a rumor that because of the Ji family, he angered His Royal Highness Princess Minghui, who was born by the late emperor.
Otherwise, among the three daughters of the first emperor, Sui'an could not give birth, and at any rate, there was a Ruyi Langjun who cared about her in everything, and even resigned from office to go into seclusion in order to let her avoid gossip from the imperial capital. Always in one place, really love each other; what about Yunan? Although the story between her and Zheng Fenglin was not as poignant and touching as Sui'an and his wife, it was still loving and harmonious, and after giving birth to two daughters, she was pregnant again.
Only Minghui is the most miserable.
The young man who married was said to be a noble son with a bright future, but in fact, he went to the battlefield within a few days of marriage and has not returned until now!
The long-term husband and wife did not say anything about each other, but I heard that the Yunxi guest didn't seem to treat the eldest princess very well.
The gossip is that Yunxi's guests have been in Beidi for so long, and they don't even have a family letter for the eldest princess, but all correspondence with the family is written to parents and elder brothers!
Poor Princess Minghui is obviously the daughter of the first emperor and his wife Jiefa. She is the most noble bloodline of the first emperor. Just because her mother was born in the Ji family, not only will her mother's family be destroyed, but she will also be disliked. , being so embarrassing by his brother, he has been a widow not long after marriage and has not even had a son and a half daughter under his knees.
After all, everyone knows that Ming Hui's son-in-law is the best born among the three son-in-laws!
There are even people who say that the soldiers have been away for many years, and they are lonely in the army. In addition, this time to help Xifa, there are often victories, and the captured female relatives are rarely distributed.
With the status of Yunxi guest, maybe there are several heirs born outside at this moment.
When the time comes for the army to return to court, he will go alone, and a group of people will come back. If the eldest princess is angry again, can she kill the son-in-law's flesh and blood? It was Chunjia, who pretended to be punished, and probably admitted it.
It can be seen that people still have their own sons.
If this is a real brother, even if he is not a mother, how can he deceive his sister like this?
...Whether these rumors are true or not, don't tell me, if he didn't know the inside story, Yun Fenghuang would think that Chunjia married Minghui to Yunxike to torture his sister.
