Chapter 212 Son of Heaven: It's so Difficult for Me.

Usually when Chunjia came over, although it was commonplace for everyone in Xuanqing Palace to say that they felt happy, at least they all had smiles on their faces.

This time it was not the case, the loving mother, the empress dowager, had just left, the emperor finally remembered the harem, and was the first to come to the imperial concubine, but he didn't know if he missed the imperial concubine, or had other thoughts? For example, I feel that the loving mother, the empress dowager, left all the way, and the imperial concubine didn't mention a word from the beginning to the end. On the day she left, she didn't say anything about the things she gave her, and she didn't even come out to say goodbye.

Yun Fenghuang looked up and saw the apprehension on the palace man's face, he ignored it, lowered his head and smiled and said to the Ninth Prince: "Your father is here, how about Xiaojiu going out with mother and concubine to welcome your father?"

The mother and son tidied their clothes together and left the hall, and met Chunjia who was walking in in the courtyard.

The emperor's face was very tired. These days, things happened one after another. Even though he was still in his prime, he still couldn't bear it, mainly because he was tired.

Yun Fenghuang was not surprised, and accompanied him into the door, asked the Ninth Prince to greet him, and then asked someone to change into tea: "Your Majesty has been troubled by many things these days, so it's time to take a breather. After that, they are all pointing at you."

"I haven't seen Xiao Jiu for some days. At first glance, he has grown a lot taller." Chunjia absently sipped his tea, looked at the Ninth Prince, and said, "What is this child like now? Is he still playing? Or is he just starting to grow up?" learned?"

The Ninth Prince was the youngest among Yun Fenghuang's heirs, and he rarely met the emperor, so he was not as relaxed as his brothers and sisters. Hearing this, he timidly hid behind Yun Fenghuang.

"Xiao Jiu is only young, let's take it easy for two days." Yun Fenghuang patted his head sideways, smiled reassuringly, and said just now, "What? Does your majesty want him to go to school now?"

Chunjia said: "Of course not, he is indeed younger."

He sighed, "Just asking... I'm really busy now, and there are more children, so I really can't take care of it."

"Don't worry, Your Majesty, you are busy, concubines and these people are not free to eat." Yun Fenghuang said kindly, "The schoolwork and education of children is originally the responsibility of concubines."

Chunjia paused for a while, looked at the Ninth Prince, and finally said: "Let Xiao Jiu go and play with Xiao Qi and the others."

The Ninth Prince pursed his lips when he heard the words: "The child wants to accompany the concubine mother."

Knowing that the emperor had something to say, Yun Fenghuang coaxed him with a smile: "Xiao Jiu will go find your seventh brother first, and concubine mother will ask you to come and accompany me later, okay?"

"Not good!" The Ninth Prince usually had very little chance to see his father, mother and concubine. He was at this age when he was most attached to his parents. , for fear of being sent out, "Mother Concubine, I don't want to leave! Can I have dinner with you today? I haven't eaten with Mother Concubine for a long time!"

"Of course my concubine also wants to have dinner with Xiao Jiu." Yun Fenghuang coaxed softly, "But my concubine hasn't been with your seventh brother for a long time, if Xiao Jiu goes to play with your seventh brother right now, then wait For dinner later, it’s okay for the mother concubine and Xiao Jiu to leave Xiao Qi alone? Otherwise, it’s so pitiful to leave your seventh brother all the time! Then the three of us will have dinner together.”

The Ninth Prince was conflicted, he didn't have a clear idea of ​​fighting for favor at such an age, but subconsciously letting his mother and concubine stay with him was a child's instinct. Well, my boy will play with Seventh Brother, and when Eldest Brother and Sister Zhaoqing come, will Mother and Concubine only bring Xiao Jiu to eat together?"

Seeing Yun Fenghuang smiling and nodding, he heaved a sigh of relief and agreed to leave.

Chunjia didn't look at Chunjia from the beginning to the end, which made Chunjia a little bit dumbfounded.

After the child had gone out, Fang said: "Ah Huang's children have different personalities, but they all respect Ah Huang very much."

"Now that the children are still young, they don't know that the concubine is not their biological mother, so they are naturally attached to the concubine." After he said this, Yun Fenghuang took advantage of the situation to sue, showing sadness, "But the children will grow up, and now Someone has already murmured in front of King Qin and Zhaoqing that although the concubine tried every means to fool them, the two children have always been smart, and their backgrounds are not a secret in the palace... I don’t know how long they can be fooled? I don’t know When they find out in due time, will they complain about the concubine, thinking that the concubine deliberately misled them to treat the concubine as their own mother?"

Chunjia frowned and said, "When did this happen?"

"Just now, the two children ran over wiping their tears. I thought something important had happened to me. Who knew they would ask if what the palace man said was true, and I was not their biological mother?" Yun Fenghuangyi With a sad face, "At that time... my heart was about to break! To say something that I am not afraid of His Majesty's jokes, I have always been a greedy person. Although I am indeed not their biological mother, but since the landing Up to now, it is a lie to say that I don’t want to be their mother. I just coaxed Xiaojiu, but I just forced a smile, and I kept thinking. In the future, the children will know the birth mother Who is it, and I don't know if I can forgive my concubine who is a foster mother who is a fake mother?"

"Why do they forgive or not?" Chunjia said in displeasure, "Their biological mothers either came from humble backgrounds and were not worthy of raising an imperial heir, or they passed away and could not continue to take care of their own flesh and blood. You bring them in front of you and treat them as if Born by yourself, cherish it like a treasure, who knows who doesn't know who is in front of the palace? As the saying goes, the kindness of life is not as great as the kindness of nurturing, even if they know that you are not the biological mother in the future, they should be very grateful to you, even more than the biological mother Yes! If this is not the case, then you are an unfilial and unrighteous person! There is no room for such an unruly bastard in front of me!"

That's right!

It is my grace to raise them!

I have nothing to feel sorry for them!

Yun Fenghuang silently agreed in his heart, but his face was still frowning, and he sighed: "That's what I said, but Xiaoqi and Xiaojiu are fine. The King of Qin and Zhaoqing asked clearly, but the concubine deliberately took Tell them away and fool them. When the children grow up, they must think that I deliberately pretend to be their biological mother... Besides, I just take care of them according to the rules. In the end, they are all His Majesty's own flesh and blood, yes Noble golden branches and jade leaves, even if they don’t have a concubine, they should still live a life of gold and jade. So if we talk about grace, we still rely on His Majesty’s grace, but what does the concubine have to do with it? It’s just that the concubine has such a personality- Son, knowing that all the children have biological mothers, and when they grow up and know their backgrounds, they will inevitably miss their biological mothers, but they still can't help but hope that they will be the closest to my concubine."

"..." Chunjia who said this was silent for a while, with a dazed expression on his face. Yun Fenghuang observed that, and felt a little entangled in his heart. He felt that what he said subconsciously might lead the emperor to think of the dispute between the two empress dowagers.

The Son of Heaven quickly regained his composure, and said slowly: "This is also human nature... As for the children who should live a life of gold and jade, heh, the lost Xiao Si is also a prince. King Qin and the others? You have always had dignity with your ex-child, but didn’t this dignity come from you? Because of this, they should be filial to you more than their biological mother.”

Maybe it was not good for the imperial concubine to think too much during pregnancy, so he then comforted, "And Ah Huang, why do you worry about them now? You and I have biological flesh and blood. I feel sorry for our children."

... This is really my dear father.

Yun Fenghuang agreed again in his heart, feeling that he thought the same way; at the same time, he secretly scolded him for being ruthless!

Most of the concubines and concubines were left behind on the day of the palace change, and they only cared about the two heirs. So far, they have not coaxed the eldest son and eldest daughter who are usually loved. Heir, to distract your own flesh and blood?

Sure enough, it is not rare to have more...

Even royal blood.

Even though she didn't show her heart and sincerity to her children, she still had a plan, but being set off by the emperor, she felt that she really treated all the children as her own!

Whoever dares not to be filial to her in the future deserves to be struck by lightning!

Seeing the imperial concubine's silence, Chunjia felt that she was on the point of comforting her, and said something more, such as "it's okay if the child is not filial, it's a big deal, let's be partial, whoever is filial and hurts more, and whoever dares to be disobedient will be sent to the backcountry to fend for himself". Yun Fenghuang didn't know whether to laugh or cry, so he had to change the subject and ask him politely what's the matter here?

"It's Xiaoliu." The emperor sighed, "I originally thought that since he had been raised in front of my mother for a while, I might as well go to Fuyang County with my mother, so that he could take care of me on my behalf. But my mother refused, saying that there is no prince to take care of me." The truth is that you belong to the clan of the vassal king. But you also know at the Huzhu Palace that it is impossible to send Xiaoliu back. But he is only so young, why can't we just let him live alone? Originally, I thought you would take care of this I am most at ease with the child..."

Yun Fenghuang listened with a gentle and virtuous face, but his face froze when he heard the words, Xin Dao Bengong didn't want to take over!

It's not that she doesn't want to simply raise another prince.

Anyway, there are four children in front of me, and it doesn't matter if there is one more or one less.

The point is that this prince is deeply involved with Yuan's aunt and nephew, and the loving mother, the empress dowager, is now in the emperor's inverse state. If Yun Fenghuang wants to take over him, it is impossible to send away all the people who serve him, which seems so distrustful Same as Empress Dowager Yuan. But if these people are not dismissed, who knows if there is any Empress Dowager Yuan's staff?

Fortunately, Chunjia didn't intend to let her raise her, so the emperor continued, "But you are about to give birth now, and there are so many children under your knees. I thought that you might not be able to take care of me, so I planned to ask Concubine Xian to take care of you."

"Although Concubine Xian is of a foreign race, she has become more disciplined after entering the palace, and now she looks a bit virtuous and virtuous." Yun Fenghuang doesn't mind harming others as long as this hot potato doesn't fall into her hands, Hearing the words, he immediately said, "Before, I voluntarily asked to raise the second prince, which shows that I have a kind heart, and I am very happy for the emperor's heir. If I know that I can raise the sixth prince, I will definitely be grateful to the loving mother, the empress dowager, and Your Majesty!"

Chunjia sneered slightly, he couldn't tell that the imperial concubine just wanted to throw the pot away?

In fact, the emperor really wanted to entrust the sixth prince to Yun Fenghuang's upbringing. On the one hand, the grievances between the noble concubine and the Yuan family had been alleviated; live with children. But the imperial concubine was about to give birth, and the emperor didn't say anything, but he was also worried that the Queen Mother Yuan would use the sixth prince to do something to deceive his favorite concubine.

His second choice is the queen, but considering the queen's ability and the fact that the queen has a son in front of her, I think it's better to forget it...

Don't worry, none of the three sons-in-law ended well. When the time comes when people suspect him or the Queen Kezi, then it will be fun.

As for the other concubines, it is necessary to mention the emperor's complicated feelings for his loving mother, the empress dowager.

Emotionally, he both respects and is attached to the queen mother; but intellectually, he clearly understands that Queen Mother Yuan is not innocent in this turmoil, and can even be said to be the instigator. , Not all impulsive choices, but the decisiveness after careful consideration and comprehensive consideration.

Therefore, on the one hand, the emperor begged her to stay, but on the other hand, he was unwilling to hand over the six princes to be raised by concubines other than the empress, noble concubine, and virtuous concubine. Continue to point fingers and head towards the harem.

In Chunjia's fantasy, it would be best if the Empress Dowager Yuan or Yun Feng Huang would not only get along harmoniously and warmly, be kind and filial to her mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, but would also concentrate on living in the harem with flowers and butterflies. , Regarding the affairs of the previous dynasty, and the selection of the crown prince, he was not at all concerned, and everything was up to him.

But this is impossible. After all, a young widow like Queen Mother Yuan raised her only son to raise her only son and returned to the throne of God. As for the favorite concubine, it is possible for Chunjia to love someone like Yun Qingman or Gu Zhen, but he just likes Yun Fenghuang who is so thoughtful that he is sometimes unsure of himself. This...

He couldn't even count on Yun Fenghuang to change his temper.

Because, he might not like the imperial concubine who has changed her temperament and can see through at a glance...

After some analysis, the emperor felt that he was in a difficult situation, and he couldn't help sighing melancholy.

Then Yun Fenghuang said softly: "By the way, Your Majesty, but I don't know how the twelve princes are doing now?"
