Chapter 202: On the Skill of Selling Miserably

Chunjia's heart was in a mess, completely annihilated the doubts that came from the emperor's instinct about the imperial concubine sending someone to Jiashan Palace.

But on Yunfenghuang's side, they don't know his many thoughts.

After receiving the reward, I asked the emperor for his reaction, and was told: "Your Majesty is very happy, but I heard that the empress hurt her hand because of this, and my heart is very distressed. If it is not busy with government affairs, I must come to visit the empress in person... "

Satisfied, he gave the reward, and then... concentrated on recuperating.

Anyway, cooking in person is just a cover for Chen Jing to find Gong Xiangwen's master and servant.

She didn't delay her pregnancy to bury her head in the oily smoke to get Chunjia's affection. At this moment, she paid more attention to the burn on her hand: "The ointment sent by His Majesty is really good. If I knew about it, I would have burned it a little more."

"Your Majesty, don't talk nonsense. Isn't this one piece shocking enough?" The Qing people disapproved and persuaded, "My Majesty is not the one who should do those things. If it wasn't for Your Majesty, why did your Majesty work so hard?"

Yes, Yun Fenghuang's burn was intentional.

She doesn't eat dry food, the dignified concubine cooks herself, how can she not protect her?

It was Yun Fenghuang himself, although he was pampered by slaves and servants since he was a child, he was not a clumsy person. A group of people instructed to cook two dishes, and countless maids helped... Normally, the cooperation should be very smooth.

But they all cook in person, and if they don't sell it badly, wouldn't it be a waste of this opportunity to express their affection?

Therefore, I specially scalded the crescent-shaped scar on the back of the hand, thinking that if it can be healed, it will be fine. If it can’t be recovered, the crescent-shaped red scar is not ugly to be honest.

In the future, she will often show up to remind Chunjia how much she has suffered for him...

Anyway, concubine Min Gui would never do it if she silently paid to keep this kind of thing from being known!

Not only did she make sacrifices to let the recipient know, but she also hoped that he would be kinder and return twice as much...

It's just that Chunjia is a bit like herself, so she may not get what she wants.

This is very sad.

Why can't Chunjia be a fool who doesn't know the difference between wheat and beans? ? ?

Concubine Min sighed deeply again.

The court meeting the next day was uneventful, and all the ministers had a tacit understanding to suppress all the topics about the harem mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, the struggle between the concubine, the emperor's heirs and the rebels, etc. that might offend Chunjia, and only picked some unimportant things to report.

After all, it's only been two days, and it's estimated that Chunjia hasn't finished dealing with it, or the emperor hasn't figured out how to deal with it this time.

Reminding him and urging him at such a time, what is this but hitting the muzzle of a gun?

The real emperor usually has a good temper, but when he gets angry, he doesn't want to kill him?

Not only does he kill people, he is also good at destroying the family and settling accounts with Qiuhou, and he is also good at throwing the pot away after doing so...

So to be a courtier to such an emperor, it is better to be honest.

Wait a few days, give the emperor more time to prepare, and everyone will look good by then, won't they?

Why be in a hurry to let the emperor bear his grudge?

But in private, no one dared to be negligent, and asked the emperor's thoughts everywhere, and judged what changes would occur in the situation of the former dynasty and the harem?

Uncle Xingning mentioned the capsize of the boat and suspected the imperial concubine in the court, although many sensational things happened.

But what really caught everyone's attention was actually two things: the drowning of the two empress dowagers and the twelve princes.

This matter determines the future of the imperial concubine.

Concubine Min Gui, as Chunjia's favored concubine, raised the eldest son and daughter of the emperor under her knees, and now she is pregnant herself, so she is a de facto strong contender for Qingci Palace.

Even though Chunjia did not care about King Qin and Zhaoqing during the palace change, but took care of the two sons-in-law, but looking at the historical records, many people think that this should not be taken lightly, after all... King Qin and Zhaoqing are not the concubine's own of!

The emperor is still sober enough to realize that a concubine is more important than a concubine, but it's really hard to say whether he will be so sober when the concubine gives birth to a prince.

How many wise monarchs were wise and powerful when they were young, but they became dizzy when they were old, and they only listened to the passing of the throne and favored their concubines and heirs?

Therefore, the overturning of the boats may affect the future of the country.

If Concubine Min Gui is determined to be the culprit, even if she can save her life by relying on her pregnancy, it is estimated that there will be no future.

But if the loving mother empress dowager and the holy mother empress dowager plus the bargaining chip of a direct prince who survived from death himself, can't kill Concubine Min...

Whether the imperial concubine will retaliate in the future is irrelevant. To be honest, this imperial favor is enough for the imperial concubine to weigh it carefully.

The second thing is the stupidity of King Chu.

That's right, whether it's the truth about the death of the fourth prince's mother and son, or the life experience of the eighth prince, in essence, none of them can cause major changes.

So what if the death of the fourth prince's mother and son was really killed by Mrs. Yi Guogong?

In view of Duke Yi's face, it is also for the sake of the dignity of the harem. At most, he privately bestowed a three-foot white silk to the wife of Duke Yi, and reported her sudden death to the outside world.

Except for the people from Duke Yi's mansion, outsiders quietly discussed it for a while, and it passed.

If it wasn't for Mrs. Yi Guogong who killed... the real culprit was the empress or the noble concubine, anyway, Chunjia and Yi Guogong didn't intend to go to war for Yun Jieyu's mother and son, so it would be nothing. .

There is also the life experience of the eighth prince, which, to put it bluntly, would embarrass the emperor.

As for the big picture...

The eighth prince has not been considered by the prince so far.

Through this incident, the monarchs and ministers may suspect the Queen Mother Yuan and the Xingning uncle's mansion, but so far, the eighth prince is really inconspicuous.

No matter how many pushes and plans he has behind his back, the prince is almost on the verge of a sudden death when the inside story of his life experience is revealed this time... What needs to be dealt with is actually the aftermath.

Involving the battle for the crown prince in the future of the dynasty, the eighth prince is about to die before he leaves.

Actually out.

Regarding this matter, the monarchs and ministers knew it well, and the only thing they needed to pay attention to was to be considerate and respectable to the royal family as much as possible.

Nothing else matters.

It was King Chu's stupidity, it seemed that the matter had passed, but the meaning was different.

When Ji Lingzi died after leaving the palace in the late Yuan Dynasty, when Chun Jia made his successor, he destroyed his promise and appointed Gu Zhen. Although most of it was due to the consideration of the previous dynasty and Yun Fenghuang's advice, it was also because Gu Zhen was nothing. Ayutthaya.

The emperor is very rational, he naturally likes women like Yun Fenghuang who are so clever and cunning that he can occasionally be unpredictable, and even be fooled.

If it weren't for the irreconcilable conflict with the Ji family, in fact, after Chunjia got married, the person Chunjia admired and loved the most was not Yuan Niangniang, but Ji Lingzi.

But if Gu Zhen actually hides deeper than Yun Feng Huang Ji Ling Zi...

Maybe Gu Zhen doesn't need to hide so deeply by himself, after all, considering Chunjia's scheming city, the possibility that the queen can serve him by his side for more than ten years without showing her feet is basically impossible.

As long as the Gu family has the idea of ​​abolishing the king of Chu so that they can send girls into the palace to serve the emperor, and give birth to a prince with Gu's blood to inherit the throne, it is enough for Chunjia to consider going to war.

Chunjia would never allow the descendants to have such an idea.

He established a crown prince, mainly for the sake of the stability of the dynasty in the future.

Choosing Gu Zhen as the empress and Uncle Zhaowu's mansion as the empress family, after careful consideration, he felt that such a family was still loyal and sensible, and would not learn from the Ji family.

Some even have the same idea as Yun Fenghuang, that is, Gu Zhen is barren.

She won't have a direct prince, so if she is made the queen and the adoptive prince is the heir, then when the crown prince grows up, there will be a layer of separation from the aunt, and it will not be easy for the aunt to control and sway her emotionally.

In short, the truth about King Chu's stupidity, even though the emperor just asked Princess Dongxing to investigate... In fact, Princess Dongxing was thinking about whether she had offended the emperor somewhere, so that she wanted to take over such a hot potato?

"Sister, there is really nothing there... um, just a reminder?" Concubine De made a special trip to the Huanhua Palace for this reason, and Lihua cried in the rain about her grandmother's embarrassment for the past two days, "Grandma is now I don't know what to do... After all, this matter has passed for several years, and my grandmother was not in the palace at the time, so how could I know so much? Now I am ordered to investigate the truth of this matter, and I don't even know who to ask... After all, most of the palace servants who served His Highness the King of Chu were killed with sticks, this... How can grandma do it?"

Yun Fenghuang sighed: "You probably don't know, the previous majesty came to this palace, and heard that I haven't slept well recently, so I told this palace to stay well and not go out. At least until Before giving birth, let Bengong rest well."

Concubine De was taken aback, this...could it be grounding in disguise?

At this time, the noble concubine is placed under house arrest, but what is her intention?

Is it protection, or mistrust?

She was in a daze for a while, and then she heard Yun Fenghuang continue to say: "And His Majesty hasn't come over these two days... Even if I want to help you now, it is powerless!"

"But I heard that my sister brought food to His Majesty yesterday?" Concubine De subconsciously said.

Seeing Yun Fenghuang looking over, he quickly lowered his head, "My sister is overstepping!"

But the imperial concubine was not angry, and said: "If it wasn't for the one who delivered something yesterday, I wouldn't refuse you right now. Take a look."

He stretched out the back of his hand covered with medicine to show her, "I cooked it myself yesterday, and His Majesty sent the ointment after knowing it, so that I won't be so busy and worry about it in the future... you It is said that if I go to make irresponsible remarks now, will His Majesty not be bothered? Originally, His Majesty will not be in a good mood for the past two days. If I want to join in and add fuel to the flames, don't help it at that time."

Seeing Concubine De's frowning, she turned her mind, "His Royal Highness Princess Dongxing really has no way to start? But the deputy chief swears that His Highness King Chu was murdered by the queen. Are those evidences true or false? Can't find it out?"

Concubine De choked, lowered her head and said: "This is a big matter, it will take a while...Grandmother is not sure."

This is not checked at all.

It must be that Princess Dongxing had learned enough lessons when she was young when she was fighting for the throne in Shenzong, so she was extremely cautious this time, and before she got Chunjia's hint, she planned to do more than do less.

but……

Yun Fenghuang smiled in his heart, and thought: Why doesn't the Son of Heaven know the embarrassment of the Eldest Princess? I also know that even if Dongxing is free to investigate, it may not be able to find anything.

But he still handed over the job to Princess Dongxing...

Is this something the Eldest Princess can hide if she wants to?

If she guessed correctly, Chunjia was planning to take advantage of the trend to rectify the clan.

And Princess Dongxing is the entry point.
