Chapter 168: Falling Behind

"Your Majesty, calm down, whoever believes such words, the government and the public, who has eyes and a conscience?" Yun Fenghuang softly persuaded the livid-faced Chunjia, "Who doesn't know that His Majesty loves Minghui the most? "

Chunjia sneered and said, "If you believe this, I'm afraid Minghui won't believe it!"

Yun Fenghuang's thoughts turned, and he thought to himself, could it be that Minghui made up these rumors?

My God, is this golden branch and jade leaf so eager to seek death?

Is there such a good thing?

She regained her composure and continued to speak softly: "Your Majesty, don't say that. Although Your Highness often behaves nonsense, but he is such a grown-up person, how could he still not be able to tell the good from the bad? Many of the things she said before are also true. It's just an angry talk, and I know in my heart which is right and which is wrong."

That's right, Minghui is so old, and she's not as stupid as King Chu, how could she not be able to tell good from bad? She said so many angry words before, but she knew in her heart that you were very kind to her.

If you still do something to actively spread rumors to deceive you at this moment, think to yourself, such a younger sister, it is necessary to continue to indulge her?

"..." Sure enough, Chunjia was silent for a while, then sighed, "That's right."

Yun Fenghuang smiled to himself, and immediately used Zhaoqing to change the subject. After all, the emperor was shrewd, and he could just stop talking. If he talked too much, he would become suspicious, suspecting that Minghui had been tricked.

After Chunjia left the next day, she called Chen Jing to come to her and asked carefully what was going on with the rumors.

"It was said that it was started in the public, and the servants inquired about it. It seems that it was not instigated by anyone. Didn't the news spread because of Her Royal Highness Princess Yun'an? There were discussions in the streets and alleys, and the words were hurried, and there was actually that kicker Troublesome, arrange your majesty." Chen Jing said in a soft voice, "Actually, according to my servant, the best way is for Her Royal Highness Princess Minghui to stand up and talk about what your majesty is doing. To her. But that Highness...I'm afraid he is not so sensible!"

Yun Fenghuang pondered and said: "Minghui may not have this kind of heart, but...the empress dowager may not mention this granddaughter?"

Chen Jingxin understood and said: "Your Majesty, don't worry, as long as Her Royal Highness Princess Minghui still has the same temper as before, the servant girl promises that even if the Empress Dowager sends someone to ask for something, she will not agree."

As far as Minghui's self-willedness is concerned, she can yell at the orders of the empress dowager and resolutely refuse to follow them... To be honest, although the common man Ji Sheng is not a good person, when it comes to being a queen The temperament is still there.

But it is really incomprehensible to teach the only biological daughter to be like this.

But that's fine too.

If Minghui is like Ji Sheng or Ji Lingzi, given her special status, Yun Fenghuang would really have a headache.

After two days like this, Ming Hui did not move at all, as if she didn't know that Chun Jia was criticized at all, and she didn't mean to refute the rumors at all.

Chunjia, on the other hand, decided to recall her son-in-law Yunxike and let him accompany the eldest princess for a few days after careful consideration.

Of course, it is impossible for him to call Yunxike back directly. Doesn't this confirm the rumor that he mistreated Minghui?

Therefore, it is only said that the expedition has been going on for many days, and it is time to call some people back and ask about the situation.

After all, it is impossible to describe it completely in the letter memorial.

So the monarch and his ministers discussed it, and decided to let Yunxike take the lead, and some children who are close to the Yun family, gathered a group of about ten people in total, and asked them to go to the court to report their duties.

When Yun Fenghuang heard the words, he raised his mouth, saying that Princess Kunze has been staying alone in the vacant house for a long time, so why don't Jiang Zhu come along?

Chunjia was willing to listen to what she usually said, but now that she was pregnant, the emperor was even more indulgent, and readily added Jiang Zhu into it.

Counting the journeys of these people, it is almost time to return in the first month of the new year.

For this reason, Princess Kunze even went to the palace to thank Yun Fenghuang for her kindness.

There have been two snowfalls in the Imperial Capital, and the New Year is approaching.

The festive atmosphere gradually enveloped the whole city, but at this time King Qin and Zhaoqing finally heard the news of Yunfenghuang's pregnancy, they were anxious and angry, and cried on the spot.

Originally, Yun Fenghuang was the first to blame them for not staying in the Huanhua Palace to accompany him, so they had to guard the seventh and ninth princes. They were a little nervous, worried that the mother and concubine would not like them if they got along with the two younger brothers for a long time .

The child who is still in the womb of the mother and concubine is even younger, won't he want to dominate the sky in the future?

The two children are very sad.

"Your Highness, don't be like this. Your Majesty is happy. You should be happy." At this time, it was obvious that the relatives were far away. Earlier, when Zhao Qing was jealous of the Seventh Prince and Ninth Prince, the palace people all swore to her that she was Yun Fenghuang's heart and soul Yun Fenghuang's favorite, don't think that the Seventh Prince and Ninth Prince can compare to her!

Now that Yun Fenghuang has his own flesh and blood, although he doesn't know male and female, and he was born early, the palace people have already taught the little master they serve, "Your Highness is going to be a big sister, aren't you happy? The empress has a child in her womb. It must be extremely smart and cute, and His Highness should help the empress take care of the emperor's heir when the time comes. Then the empress will definitely feel that His Highness is filial and considerate."

In all fairness, the palace man who said that had good intentions.

Her idea was that after Yun Fenghuang had his own flesh and blood, the King of Qin and Zhaoqing who had been favored before, not to mention retreating, would definitely not be as good as before.

In such a situation, to be jealous and make a fuss, isn't this just for fear of not being rejected by the stepmother?

He should act generously and be kind to this child Yun Fenghuang.

Only in this way can he get Yun Fenghuang's love and pity.

In fact, there is no problem with her train of thought, but firstly, Zhao Qing didn’t know that she was not Yun Fenghuang’s biological child, and secondly, she was spoiled as far back as she could remember, so she was furious when she heard the words, and slapped the table and yelled, “I’m going to do this to you!” Why should I be happy?! This palace is going to die of anger!!! This is not the first time that this palace is an older sister! Don’t you have enough younger brothers and sisters? Why is the mother and concubine still pregnant?! And what are the offspring in the womb of the mother and concubine? Clever and cute, Bengong is the smartest and cutest!!!”

He also said, "I don't want to help my concubine take care of that little thing! Bengong... Bengong..."

The more he thought about it, the angrier he became, and he blurted out, "I think that little thing must be the same as Fifth Brother, a fool!!!"

"Your Highness!!!" The servants in the palace were terrified when they heard the words, and hurriedly went up to cover their mouths. They were frightened, wronged and angry, and cried all of a sudden, "Your Highness, never say such things again !"

Zhaoqing struggled to push them away, and angrily said: "I want to say what I want to say, what kind of people are you in charge of me! Be careful, I will tell my father, mother and concubine, and I will kill you!!"

She shook her hands angrily and left. Seeing this, the maid in charge quickly hinted to the two servants to follow, and she discussed with the other servants whether she should tell Yun Fenghuang about this.

"That's not a nice thing to say. Your Majesty is tired now, so don't make your Majesty worry about it. After all, His Highness is young and ignorant, and he doesn't mean it." Serving Zhaoqing for these years, although this imperial lady is not good , but because of his young age, he has never done anything harsh and inferior.

The servants had some feelings for her, and they were talking to each other at the moment, "Let's persuade Your Highness later, just don't do it again."

Although Yun Fenghuang usually looks like he loves Zhao Qing very much, but it is not his own.

Especially what Zhaoqing said just now, anyone who is pregnant will not be able to bear it, if you report it to Yun Fenghuang, there may be some troubles.

They then unanimously decided to conceal it.

But in fact, is there anything in Huanhua Palace that can be hidden from Yun Fenghuang's eyes and ears?

After more than an hour, Chen Jing came to the master and told her: "... Your Majesty, originally Her Royal Highness is rich in gold and jade, and not a servant can put her beak on it, but the little master is only so young, so he was cursed by His Highness, this... The empress has always been kind to the princess, but her highness is so narrow-minded, it really doesn't look like a royal princess."

Yun Fenghuang frowned slightly, and said, "Zhaoqing hasn't grown up yet, how can a child take what she says seriously? Let the people around her persuade her."

"Your Majesty, why didn't the people who serve His Highness persuade you?" Chen Jing hesitated, and then said in a low voice, "Your Majesty is probably used to your Majesty being nice to her, so you can't bear your Majesty's concern for other heirs. If this continues, I'm afraid it's not good? After all, Her Royal Highness Princess Zhaoqing has never been the only child under the empress' knees."

"Ben Gong knows." Yun Fenghuang said lightly, "Speaking of which, she is also used to this kind of temperament, so I can't blame her all now? Don't say any more, I know it well."

Now this daughter is not only used to her pampering, but also Chunjia's darling.

Besides, Qin Wang and Zhaoqing were always treated like eyeballs before, and now they are pregnant, and they don't know the gender, and they are not sure whether they will be healthy, and they may not be able to raise them. The children who have been loved by the emperor for many years are separated?

Yun Fenghuang didn't do such stupid things, so even though he was displeased, he still beat Chen Jing and asked him to suppress the palace people and not allow Zhaoqing's words and deeds to be spread outside.

And then Zhaoqing went to her and cried and said that he was afraid that after the birth of his younger brother or younger sister, the concubine mother would have no time to take care of her, and she also smiled and promised not to: "Our Zhaoqing has always been a good sister, and we care about Xiaoqi and Xiaojiu. ! When a younger brother or younger sister is born, Zhaoqing will definitely help mother and concubine take care of it, right? In this way, mother and concubine don’t need to spend too much time teaching, how can there be no time to take care of Zhaoqing?”

Zhaoqing was very unwilling, and she didn't feel that she cared about Xiaoqi and Xiaojiu, but she didn't want to deny that she was a good sister, so she hesitated while wiping away her tears, so Yun Fenghuang put this name on her .

"This still doesn't work." After she left, Yun Fenghuang counted with his fingers, "The Mother Empress Dowager is dragged by the Holy Mother Empress Dowager, but the Empress and Qin Wang Zhaoqing are still very free."

No, on the queen's side, even if there is no movement at the moment, she still has other arrangements.

After all, the Marquis of Jingning has been sealed off, and the descendants of the Ke family have all entered the palace as companions. Under such circumstances, it is not an exaggeration for the Gu family to say that they have become frightened birds.

As long as the opportunity is pushed a little bit, the queen will not have that leisure time to be tempted by Xuanqing Palace.

It's more difficult to deal with a pair of children.

Now that the two children are having a fight, Yun Fenghuang still has the time to coax her. After a while, will she really have this spirit and temperament all the time?

Yun Fenghuang felt that it was better not to overestimate himself.

"Recently, my palace didn't ask any questions from the school." Thinking of this, she called Chen Jing to her and asked, "But I don't know how King Qin and Zhaoqing are doing with their studies now?"

When Chen Jing heard this, her expression was a little strange, and she said, "Your Majesty, did the two Highnesses tell you?"

"When they see Bengong now, they are tired of acting like a baby." Yun Fenghuang said helplessly, "Where can they bother to talk about this?"

After pondering for a while, he came to his senses, "Could it be that... you have regressed?"

Otherwise, the two children might show off early in the morning.

"But you can't blame the two Highnesses." Chen Jing smiled awkwardly, "After all, whether it's the young prince or Prince Yixi, they are all older than the heirs... As for the third prince... this...maybe The third prince did not have the company of His Royal Highness the King of Chu, and he was always lonely. He could only pass his time by going to school, so he was lucky enough to win the next round of the King of Qin? Of course, even if the Third Prince puts so much effort into it, he is still not as good as His Royal Highness Zhaoqing. "

Although Chen Jing doesn't like Princess Zhaoqing very much now, he still admires the princess's schoolwork, "Except for riding and archery, His Highness Zhaoqing is very good at riding, and no one else can match her." of!"

Yun Fenghuang's eyes flickered, and he smiled: "Two naughty little guys, what I said, these two days I have been telling the sky that I am afraid that I don't like them... The co-authoring is also to confuse the view, I am afraid Is this palace urging them to do their homework?"

It's fine if she doesn't know about it, now that she knows, think about it and don't let the two brothers and sisters be too idle, otherwise they will find fault with themselves, and said, "Let them all come over to Bengong later! I would like to ask, what King Qin is doing, why has he been overpowering the third prince before, and he was overtaken in just a few days?"
