Chapter 261 Revisiting the Old Story

Chunjia doesn't even want to reuse Xie Wuzheng, let alone let his direct descendant, the promising future minister Deng Chengzhai, have a relationship with the noble concubine.

only……

After all, Concubine Chong brought it up so blatantly, so it's not good for him to just say that Concubine Ai is dead, and I will never give you any chance to threaten my pre-appointed Crown Prince.

After thinking for a while, he smiled and said: "I haven't asked about this matter, but I heard that he already has a woman he likes... I don't know who it is. If Ah Huang wants to know, I will ask you later. "

In the future, I will ask Deng Chengzhai to finalize the marriage quickly.

It's good to choose anyone, as long as it's not a prostitute who was carefully cultivated by a wealthy family, or a girl from the Xie family and the Jiang family.

Yun Fenghuang knew what he was thinking, frowned and did not hide it, and sighed: "Really? That's a pity... At first I thought, Meng'er is also at this age... It's time to show her a look."

Chunjia still has a very good impression of Xie Meng. Firstly, Xie Meng's appearance is exactly like Yun Fenghuang's, and Yun Fenghuang repeatedly brought it up when he cried and complained that he could not bear children. The emperor was somewhat fond of her; Although the wife is more spoiled, she has no city. The emperor liked intelligence for his children. For other people's children, I still think it's good to be innocent and lively.

Especially Yun Fenghuang's aunt is already very shrewd, if Xie Meng is also very intelligent, Chunjia must be more jealous.

Now that he heard that it was for Xie Meng's consideration, he was a little hesitant.

Because in Chunjia's impression, Yun Fenghuang has general kindness towards children, and he loves Xie Meng, his niece even more. After all, when she was unable to bear children herself, she treated her like a daughter and entrusted her feelings to the younger generation.

Originally, when the emperor saw that the imperial concubine asked about Deng Chengzhai, he only said that she was going to plot to go to court again, so he flatly refused.

But since the candidate is Xie Meng, Chunjia can't help but feel that she is being overwhelmed? Maybe Concubine Xu just thinks that Deng Chengzhai is a good husband-in-law?

After a little hesitation, Chunjia said slowly: "Meng'er...it's almost recognizable. But there are still a few years before leaving the cabinet, so there is no need to be so anxious?"

"Can you not be in a hurry?" Yun Fenghuang said faintly, "Your Majesty is always in a hurry, I am afraid that he has forgotten the danger of this child long ago? It was almost... just a little bit, and the child was... fortunately, she is not serious. If not, how can the concubine explain to her parents? Besides, this child is said to be the flesh and blood of the thirteenth brother and thirteenth sister-in-law of the concubine, but he has been raised by the concubine since he was seven years old. Among them, she is not much worse than Zhaoqing. Why doesn't the concubine want to keep her by my side for a few more years? But the child has never met Yongchun Hou in private, and there are so many gossips in the palace. Concubine pondered, but It's better to find a husband's family for her now. In the future, it won't save anyone from seeing her in the palace, see the arrangement!"

Chunjia coughed dryly and reminded: "Ah Huang, the matter between Xie Meng and Marquis Yongchun was caused by Concubine De's misunderstanding."

"Concubine De just mentioned that, just wanting to beat the side drums." Yun Fenghuang said lightly, "Those words that really made our aunt and nephew sad...I'm afraid no one will use them to dirty His Majesty's hearing!"

He also said, "At first I didn't think of Deng Chengzhai, but Your Majesty also knows that I came from a humble background, and the children from various families I used to be familiar with are now unsuitable for matching. But as for the noble son of the imperial capital, I am not familiar with him, I was also afraid that the other party would not look down on Xie's lintel. No, after thinking about it, I heard that Deng Chengzhai intended to marry a wife, so I couldn't help being moved. Although I don't know this person well, but I can be with him His Majesty has been reused all these years, so it must be not bad... But to be honest, based on this alone, I don’t really care much. What I really care about is that his parents have passed away. If Meng’er promises to him , you can be the master of the family after passing the door, and you don't have to be trembling with getting along with Weng Gu!"

Speaking of this, there was embarrassment and sadness in her eyes, which made Chunjia ponder.

In the emperor's mind, the imperial concubine's words should have revealed her true feelings.

After all, he deeply believed in Yun Fenghuang's sincerity towards Xie Meng, so it was reasonable for him to favor Deng Chengzhai for Xie Meng. It must be known that Yun Fenghuang himself just couldn't get along with the loving mother, the Empress Dowager, and kept stumbling around? This is Chunjia's approach to her, and she has her own means. The most important thing is that the loving mother empress dowager is not the mother empress dowager, so she cannot interfere in the harem with confidence.

Otherwise, Yun Fenghuang's life will be even more difficult.

She loves Xie Meng so much, she has suffered so much, she certainly does not want Xie Meng to repeat the same mistakes.

In particular, Xie Meng only looks like a cloud, but his temperament is not one-tenth of this aunt's at all, and he is impulsive and spoiled.

Although Chunjia didn't hate her, she knew very well in her heart that such a girl would be fine if she was spoiled by the younger generation. If it is a woman, it is very difficult to please.

In this way, Chunjia felt that Yun Fenghuang should simply find a good husband for his niece, without any other meaning?

The emperor immediately became entangled.

Out of the instinct of a son of heaven, he felt that even so, he should not agree to this matter.

The position of the crown prince is of great importance, and the previous dynasty did not have allusions that the great dynasty declined because of the struggle for the crown. Don’t even need to look at the previous dynasty, it’s the current dynasty. Didn’t the Ji family cover the sky with one hand and the decline of imperial power all start with Sejong’s seizure of the heirloom?

You must know that Sejong has many heirs, and there are almost thirty or forty adult heirs alone.

The results of it?

When Shizong's grandson, Xiaozong, had no heir, he had to adopt from a distant branch to continue the throne!

Chunjia himself has suffered such hardships, so he naturally doesn't want his descendants to fall into a similar situation... At that time, there will be a precedent like him. Made Ji's mistake.

With Yun Fenghuang's background, even if he had a nephew and son-in-law who would be an important official, it might not be able to accomplish anything.

In particular, Deng Chengzhai and Chunjia are similar in age. Although the emperor is busy with many affairs, Deng Chengzhai is also busy with government affairs, so it is not sure who will go first between the monarch and his ministers.

Since there is no possibility of Deng Chengzhai killing Chunjia, as long as the emperor does not change his original intention, not to mention Deng Chengzhai's character, it is unlikely that he will stand in line with the imperial concubine for a wife. Even if he does, can he win the emperor?

Chunjia is still very confident in her means.

Now he doesn't feel that any courtier can disobey his will.

But a lot of things start to break down from small things.

The emperor loved the noble concubine, but he didn't intend to abolish the imperial concubine and establish a concubine. Therefore, while doting on the noble concubine, he also took advantage of the palace change to express his position, which immediately stopped the arrogance of the noble concubine.

But at this time, if the concubine and niece were promised a husband-in-law who would be an important minister... the emperor himself knew that he still didn't have the idea of ​​the fifteenth prince as the heir apparent, but he couldn't help but wonder if the people below would think wildly?

There are some things that can't be expected at all, which is good for everyone.

Chunjia understands this truth very well.

but……

Looking at the imperial concubine in front of her who is obviously very weak but still pretends to be nice to see her, think about her worries and fears when she had dystocia, and then think about Xie Meng's original intention to enter the palace, and the hard-earned fifteenth prince... Chun Jia A little shaken again.

After all, Deng Chengzhai is a sensible person, and he is able to suppress it, so it seems that there is nothing wrong with making the imperial concubine happy...?

The imperial concubine is also wronged these days...

The emperor hesitated, and said: "Yue Ting is a calm person, but Xie Meng is too escaping, and the age gap between the two is relatively large, so it may not be possible to get together? Besides, Yue Ting wants to marry a wife at this moment, most likely because he hopes to get married immediately. Married. Xie Meng...seems to be only twelve this year? Can't you leave the cabinet right now?"

"Your Majesty, it is precisely because of Deng Chengzhai's prudent nature that the concubine is thinking about marrying Meng'er to him." Yun Fenghuang's heart moved, if the emperor didn't think about it at all, I'm afraid the reason for his refusal at this moment would be a set of rhetoric.

Since it's a prick, then...

It shows that this is possible!

She quickly became weaker, half leaning on her hidden pouch, and said with a wry smile, "Meng'er grew up under our knees, and you know what she is... To be honest, the concubine didn't teach her well. Such a big person is still naive! If there is no safe person to watch, I can't rest assured! As for being old, it doesn't matter. Your Majesty is also older than the concubine. Does your majesty think that the concubine is serving you? Are you wrong?"

I don't know what you bastards are thinking?

I have always only disliked women for being old. When did I dislike being too young?

Yun Fenghuang continued his efforts, and continued, "As for Deng Chengzhai's intention to let people pass through the door immediately... I don't think this is necessarily the case. After all, two years ago, many high-ranking families wanted to give their daughters to him, but he refused all of them. Yes! I haven’t mentioned it in these years. Now that I bring it up, I guess I want to choose carefully. After all, it’s only natural to be cautious when it comes to lifelong affairs. But your Majesty, you said, why are you so carefully selected? Maybe it will be over in a while? Besides, he is really in a hurry to get married, so that's okay. Let Meng'er get married first, and then consummate the house when she is old enough."

This also makes sense...

It's just that the emperor was still a little hesitant, and said again: "This is just our idea, whether Yue Ting and Xie Meng get along well is not known... Besides, is Xie Meng willing?"

Yun Fenghuang said: "Although Meng'er is a bit more indulgent, she is the most filial, obedient, sensible and considerate. This is a lifelong matter, and I asked her in private early in the morning. She said it to my concubine shyly and timidly, and listened to my concubine for everything. !"

Could it be that the emperor is confused?

At this moment, what is important is the words of a matchmaker, even if the elders dote on them and let the girls make their own decisions, then it must be said that the elders are the masters!

Otherwise, if it spreads out, it will appear that girls are not reserved or dignified!

Besides, although Yun Fenghuang had a conspiracy in this marriage, it was indeed for the good of Xie Meng.

Why did Xie Meng not agree?

If she can't even control a niece she raised with her own hands, wouldn't it be too unfair for the defeated generals in the court all these years?

Therefore, Yun Fenghuang never thought about Xie Meng's thoughts at all, so he was worried about Xie Meng's simple nature - his son had no city mansion, and promised to be a noble son of a wealthy family. She began to wipe her tears, and asked Chunjia if she disliked herself: "I already know that even if I have the surname 'Yun', in the final analysis, I am a daughter of a poor family from the Xie family in the borderlands, and it is an invitation to serve Your Majesty." Fortunately, let alone let my niece marry a good one? This concubine is thinking too much. I should have thought of it a long time ago. It was just a coincidence that I was able to be hired into the palace! Otherwise, my concubine He should be the same as Qu Shi and Yi Shi, starting from picking girls is..."

She was crying and coughing, looking very weak and haggard. The servants outside were all anxious, and the Qing people called for cough ointment and other things, and then knelt down and begged Chunjia not to get angry: "Your Majesty has no biological child under her knees." Daughter, although she regards Her Royal Highness Princess Zhaoqing as her own, Miss Meng has been in front of her mother longer than Princess Zhaoqing, and Miss Meng has always been filial to her mother, so how could she not have sincerity towards Miss Meng? My son, I really shocked my mother! Since I was in confinement, I have been asking about the peace of Miss Meng three times a day. No fault, the maidservants saw the empress suffering like this, and feared that the empress would suffer from the root cause of the disease, so they persuaded the empress to show Miss Meng a couple of young talents. With Miss Meng now in the right place, she must not dare to spread rumors in the future, and Miss Meng herself would not I won't be ashamed to be narrow anymore..."

When the Qing people said this, Yun Fenghuang coughed for a while and barely stopped, and told her to get out, and finally pushed Chunjia's arm that was supporting her, and said in a negative voice: "It's my concubine who judges me because of her height. Humble, but after all, Menger grew up in the palace, so he can still match Deng Chengzhai. Now it seems that being a concubine is just a fantasy! Who is a concubine and nephew, and how can I match her?"

Chunjia knew that what she said was out of anger, and she was even trying to retreat, but seeing her face flushed with coughing, her heart ached, and she couldn't help but gently persuade her to calm down: "What are you thinking again?" ? I just feel that it is not good for the emperor to meddle in the marriage of his subjects... I was thinking about how to mention it to Yueting!"

Yun Fenghuang wasn't moved. After all, the emperor only mentioned it to Deng Chengzhai, but didn't say how to raise it. Who knows if she would be perfunctory here, and turned his head and refused in the name of Deng Chengzhai?

In fact, even if the emperor didn't hint like that, Deng Chengzhai probably wouldn't be happy to marry Xie Meng based on Yun Fenghuang's thinking.

Because Deng Chengzhai began to look for a wife for himself after a few years, most of Chunjia's thinking was that he was anxious to get a regular wife to come into the mansion to preside over the back house. How could he wait for Xie Meng and Ji? Moreover, Deng Chengzhai himself may not like a half-grown child like Xie Meng.

So after hearing this, I just sneered: "Your Majesty is the Ninth Five-Year Sovereign, why shouldn't you ask? Besides, Deng Chengzhai was born as His Majesty's companion, and has served His Majesty for many years. His Majesty asked about his personal affairs because he was close to him, and Deng Chengzhai was too late to rejoice." Well, what is it difficult for Your Majesty to say? It is nothing more than because our aunt and nephew are humble, and even a rich man like His Majesty finds it embarrassing!"

After speaking, tears came down again, so she called the Qing people and asked her to pack up Xie Meng, Xie Kuo, Xie Kuo, and immediately sent them out of the palace, handed them over to Xie Xiaoyu, and sent them back to Beidi overnight!

"What are you still doing here? Isn't it embarrassing enough?" Yun Fenghuang didn't care if Chunjia was still there, and pointed at Sang and scolded Huai in front of him, "I don't know how long I can stay in this Xuanqing Palace." In 2009, they lived here for a long time, and they still haven't left, is it possible that they will be chased away in the future?! It's better to go back to the north to get married while I'm still here, so I can save some face!"

Chunjia's eyebrows twitched, and she felt a little overwhelmed: "Ah Huang, don't do this! Is there anything you can't say properly, why bother to mention these things that you can't leave? You are the master of Xuanqing Palace, and you in this Xuanqing Palace Why don’t you know how many more years you can live? Who would dare to expel Xie Meng and the others?!”

How Yun Fenghuang sees him now is not pleasing to the eye, it sounds nice!

In fact, there were several times when he didn't have an attack. Wasn't he just pretending to be confused?

With a gloomy face, she ignored him, and urged the Qing people to send away the three Xie Meng sisters, and then asked someone to take good care of the fifteenth prince, crying and saying: "My son must grow up quickly Alright! When he has his hair tied up, I can also pack up my luggage, and go with him and we'll be here!"

Recalling the old story, Chunjia finally couldn't hold it anymore, and scolded angrily: "It's done, I will tell Yueting later that I will give him a marriage with Xie Meng, can you stop saying these things?!"
