Chapter 220 Envy

After scolding and thanking her, Yun Fenghuang's lingering anger was still there, and he glanced at Xie Kuo with cold eyes: "You played with the two cousins ​​in the palm of your hand, how can I not care about you, after all, this It's because they are stupid, even if they are not ordered by you, they will be deceived by others in the future! It's just that you know that Ben Gong has always favored Meng Er, but you still encourage Meng Er to hang the beam, so don't worry about this news shocking Ben Gong. Even disturbed the emperor's son in the womb of this palace?!"

Hearing this, Xie Ma's face turned pale, her lips moved, she wanted to say something, thinking of her aunt's anger just a moment ago, she didn't dare.

"How can my aunt be so determined to be disturbed by such news?" Xie Kuo opened her mouth slightly, her eyes rolled, as if she was thinking quickly. After a moment, she pursed her dry lips and said in a low voice, "Auntie's child, Naturally, she will be as tough as my aunt, and nothing will happen!"

Yun Fenghuang stared at her, his eyes were like knives, and after a while, he turned to Xie Mo: "You go out first!"

"Auntie..." Xie Mu looked at her and then at Xie Kuo, but in the end she couldn't match the coldness in Yun Fenghuang's eyes, and bowed and retreated very worriedly.

When only the aunt and nephew were left in the palace, Yun Fenghuang just sneered and said: "In your heart, I don't care about you at all?"

"Auntie was joking, if you don't care, there are so many Xie's children, why did Auntie choose us to enter the palace to entertain you?" Xie Kuo was not sure what she was thinking at the moment, and said cautiously, "Kuo'er said, Kuo'er will always be grateful you!"

Yun Fenghuang asked with great interest: "Then why are you sure that this palace will not be disturbed by the news of Meng'er Hanging Liang?"

"Because Kuo'er believes in my aunt's control over Huanhua Palace." Xie Kuo flattered, "Unless Auntie acquiesces, no one can hurt Kuo'er in Huanhua Palace! Or just like today, Kuo'er A few self-directed and self-acted. So even if the palace officials rush to report the news, I think my aunt will quickly react to the truth of the matter, so why would she be surprised?"

"You're wrong." Yun Fenghuang said coldly, "I'm... really surprised today! After all, how could I think that my nieces, who are well-behaved, sensible and obedient in my eyes, would have a If you don't say hello, come here?"

Xie Kuo was silent for a while when he heard the words, and decided to tell the truth: "Because if I told my aunt in advance, then Kuo'er would have to pass the credit to Meng'er and Mu'er two sisters. In this way, even if my aunt knows what's going on and knows what's going on, but It won't break either."

Yun Fenghuang said: "You said just now that you would not harm Meng'er?"

"Kuo'er never dared to murder his own siblings, and never had such thoughts!" Xie Kuo said quickly, "It's just, aunt, people always have selfish intentions. The two elder sisters of Meng'er and Xi'er are aunt's nieces. , Zilai is more loved and trusted by my aunt, Kuo'er can understand, and I don't feel wronged! After all, my aunt's nieces are not only two older sisters, but my aunt's cousin is more than Kuo'er! Now, based on this alone, Kuo'er will never forget the grace of my aunt! Kuo'er just wants...just wants to try to share her worries...and then..."

After all, he is a half-grown child who has not yet reached the age of Ji. Although Xie Kuo is careful and calm, but being looked at coldly by the imperial concubine, he loses confidence and shows timidity when he talks.

"You want to prove to Bengong that you are smart and capable, so as to get Bengong to treat you differently?" Yun Fenghuang said playfully, "It's just that you have so little means, what can you do?"

Xie Kuo didn't argue with her at this time to let Chunjia know that the Huanhua Palace has been infiltrated and the importance of the concubine's childbirth is not necessarily safe, he just respectfully said: "Yes, Kuo'er has such a little means now, it is naturally difficult to get into my aunt's eyes. But Kuo'er is still young, and he can continue to study. Aunt, please forgive Kuo'er for speaking bluntly. The uncles and brothers in the family do not have outstanding talents. Among the aunt's sisters, who can help the aunt? Except the fourth aunt In addition, the great Xie family seems to have a large population, but in fact the talents are scarce! We are not talented, so I would like to listen to my aunt and think that my aunt will use it!"

"..." Yun Fenghuang didn't scold her this time, but lowered his head in thought.

It is true that the Xie family has many descendants, but they have talents. The talents here are not ordinary talents, but it means that there are few people who have the kind of talents that can make the Xie family great.

Yun Fenghuang's parents and grandparents were all talents at the village level.

I can't handle the matter of coming to the temple at all.

As for her generation, including herself and Xie Wuzheng, the standard is beyond the reach of other brothers and sisters.

As for the younger generation, there are many nephews and nieces, but there are no outstanding talents.

Even though she didn't feel very good about Xie Kuo all the time, and even had some distrust, but now what the niece said is really right.

Yun Fenghuang needed help.

It was not because Chunjia had changed her mind to make her heir the crown prince, otherwise, she would have come to an end now.

Of course, the important ministers of the former court wanted to win over, but they really needed some really capable people around him to assist them.

In the current situation, she is about to give birth, if there is a trustworthy person who is similar to herself by her side, wouldn't she be able to rest assured? Instead of being ready to step up to Concubine Wen Huixian before she was born?

"Then what do you want?" The imperial concubine pondered for a moment, then asked slowly, "Don't say anything that you just want to repay me. Although I have raised you for several years, I have always favored Menger and Youer. Even if you If you really don’t care about it, how much gratitude can you have for this palace? Besides, your biological parents and blood brothers are still there. When it comes to love and getting along, you should also consider them first!"

Xie Kuo opened his mouth, clenched his hands hidden in his sleeves slightly, suppressed his beating heart, and said in a deep voice, "Kuoer...want to be like Auntie!"

Yun Fenghuang glanced at her and said, "What do you mean? Serve His Majesty too?"

"Of course not!!!" Xie Kuo froze for a moment, quickly denied it, and said with a red face, "Ko'er means that Kuo'er wants to be like her aunt, relying on her own ability to establish herself in the world and help her aunt and family, not, what? Relying on my aunt and my family, I live in a daze!"

"This is a little bit like Bengong when I was young." Yun Fenghuang leaned back, looked at her, and said thoughtfully, "They say that Menger looks like Bengong, but in fact she looks like her at most. Look at it this way, you are the one who really resembles Ben Gong when he was young... But do you know? This road is not easy to walk. "

Xie Kuo collected himself and said, "Auntie, Kuo'er knows! But Kuo'er still wants to try!"

Yun Fenghuang was silent for a while, she was thinking, is this niece really high-spirited, she doesn't want to be a pure tool for family marriage, and hopes to get the opportunity and qualification to become a chess player, or... just playing a flower gun and using this Means to win yourself an excellent husband-in-law?

Because normally speaking, Yun Fenghuang would choose a husband for the three nieces, and Xie Meng and Xie Miao must be the most cared for.

If there is anything good, these two must be followed first. As for Xie Kuo...it must be the last.

"Why?" Yun Fenghuang raised his eyes to look at Xie Kuo, and asked, "You are a good, well-behaved and sensible niece of this palace. Even if this palace is partial to Meng'er, I will not say that I am harsh on you on purpose. And you Why do you have to leave the Yangguan Road and not go, and you have to look for guilt? You should understand now that if it weren’t for the accidents, the palace and Qi Jiulu fell in love with each other early in the morning and even had children in groups; instead of coming in this palace to fight , so far the future is unknown!"

Xie Kuo was silent for a while, then said in a low voice: "My aunt may not believe it...but, Kuo'er really doesn't want to live like mother."

Before Yun Fenghuang could open her mouth, she had already said excitedly, "Born more than her family, she is more than her family, marrying a well-matched husband-in-law who was carefully selected by the family, and then...the two have been in love with each other for a long time, But in the end, I still watched him carry people home one by one, and take care of them outside... The parents who loved him in the past kept saying that as long as they still respect the wife, they can live on. You get used to it, and when he dies, your own flesh and blood will be in charge of the family, and you will be at ease...but...at that time, people will also be old."

"Since I was a child, my mother has often told Kuo'er and my brothers about her past with my father."

"Back then, Kuo'er was ignorant, and when he came to my aunt by chance, she was thinking of trying to please her. In this way, it was only when Mother was in front of father that she gained face. Those concubines would not dare to mess around!"

"But year after year, Kuo'er looks at her aunt and thinks about her mother... she envies her very much."

Yun Fenghuang was a little dumbfounded, and said: "First, although your father is a bit of a mess, your mother and your father are well-matched. Even if your mother is hot and jealous, it is actually impossible for your father to let Ji concubine bully your mother. Xie's The elders will not tolerate such a thing! So your mother said that, most likely to encourage you to be obedient and sensible; second, do you envy me? But, why is this palace looking at His Majesty Sangong and Sixth Court, helpless? Even His so-called great favor, my palace has now reached its peak, and there is no further opportunity. Moreover, how many concubines have come to a good end?"

"You said you envied me..."

"What are you envious of?"

"If you are envious of the honor and wealth of the noble concubine, but there are queens, empress dowagers, empress dowagers... I am envious."

"Then be a wife of your family, isn't it good?"

"You don't have to walk on thin ice like Bengong!"

Xie Kuo lowered his eyes slightly, and said in a low voice: "This is different. My aunt can have today because she has won it all by herself. And mother, she has always listened to the family's arrangements... Kuo'er is still young, and now she may say I don’t understand. But Kuo’er knows that he can’t keep pretending to be cute. Even if this road is not easy to walk, even if the future may not lead to a good death, Kuo’er still wants to give it a try, instead of listening to his family’s advice like his mother. What to do, what to do, I have never tried in my life, the life I want to live."

Yun Fenghuang stared at her for a moment, and did not answer the question directly, but said: "You let Meng'er pretend to be a murderer when His Majesty is around, it will indeed make His Majesty pay attention to the Huanhua Palace, and then feel pity for this palace... But Have you thought about it? Now that my palace is about to give birth, His Majesty will definitely investigate the truth of the matter personally. With your little means, can you hide it from His Majesty?"

"..." Xie Kuo bit his lip, looked at her timidly, and said in a low voice, "But, isn't there an aunt here? The whole palace of Huanhua is under the control of my aunt! Even if His Majesty personally intervenes, my aunt doesn't want to Your Majesty knows, how can Your Majesty know?"

"You have confidence in me!" Yun Fenghuang snorted, and said, "What crime did I do? Back then when your mother was giving birth, everyone up and down was holding and protecting it. It was my turn. Palace, let alone being held and protected, I have to give you these troublesome aftermaths! Is it really what I owe you in my previous life!"

Xie Kuo looked at her words and felt that she was not really angry, so he quickly apologized and said with a smile: "If there is no aunt, no matter how much Kuo Er thinks, how would he dare to make any changes? You must learn from your mother and live a life of honest and boring It's all because of my aunt, Kuo'er feels alive today."

"Go on." Yun Fenghuang said noncommittally, "I'm exhausted, so don't worry about it, otherwise, I don't have the energy to clean up the mess for you, understand?"

Xie Kuo hurriedly blessed him: "Yes!"

Bending back to the door, I couldn't help but smile again, and said in a low voice and quickly, "Thank you, Auntie, Auntie is the best!"
