Chapter 264 Power, Money and Beauty
Yun Fenghuang mentioned that when he was isolated and helpless in the temple, it was not too late for a gentleman to take revenge after ten years. In fact, the main purpose was to facilitate the marriage between Xie Meng and Deng Chengzhai.
From her standpoint, this marriage is beneficial to Xie Meng, herself and Xie's family.
But she can't control Deng Chengzhai, she can only rely on Chunjia.
Therefore, of course Yun Fenghuang could not have imagined that the emperor had thought of so many things from this matter, and had prepared for her and the fifteenth prince before the rainy day...
In her opinion, Chunjia's promise to recall Suian and his wife was very suspicious.
At this moment, I still want to take the initiative to give Xie Xiaoyu benefits, what good intentions can I have?
"Sure enough, a companion is like a tiger..." So after Chunjia left, she was furious, and after being persuaded by her left and right, she finally calmed down a little bit, and she couldn't help crying, "Qingren, you say, How did he manage to coax Ben Gong like a heart, and at the same time be cruel to Mrs. Xie?"
"This..." The Qing people have just been sent out to serve, but they don't really know what the imperial concubine said, and in her opinion, both the eighteenth and twenty-first princes will be awarded official positions by the emperor, shouldn't they Are you happy?
At this moment, I bit the bullet and persuaded the noble concubine to think about it, "Your Majesty is willing to give an official position, at least it is a chance. If Your Majesty keeps ignoring and letting the two young masters waste their time, this... this is not a good thing!"
"...Now that's the only way to go." Yun Fenghuang didn't expect the Qing people to give him any reliable advice. After all, the lintel of Xie's family was placed there, and being able to recognize her and Xie Wuzheng's brothers and sisters was considered a meritorious ancestor. , How far-sighted can a valet have?
Anyway, she didn't believe that Chunjia's move was well intentioned.
With this in mind, Xie Wuzheng and his wife washed away the dust and came to the palace to see him two days later, Yun Fenghuang sent Suian to see Mrs. Shen with a few words, waved back and forth, spoke to Xie Wuzheng, and said right away : "Brother Twenty-One must be more careful. His Majesty summoned you and His Royal Highness the Eldest Princess back this time. It may not be out of good intentions. But it is still for the sake of cultivating a son!"
Xie Wuzheng looked calm, as if he was not surprised by these words, nodded slightly and said: "Don't worry, my lady, I will understand. Although our family is not considered rich, we have no worries about food and clothing since we were young. Even if His Majesty's glory, even if there are ups and downs, outsiders would not dare to ridicule in person. As for private discussions, I don't bother to pay attention... I am determined not to do anything that would embarrass my empress."
"I don't have anything to do with this palace." Yun Fenghuang sighed and said, "How much does Your Majesty like this palace? What you do, as usual, can't be counted on this palace! What this palace is worried about is that now In the harem, although not everyone is in awe of the empress, but no one competes with Yanfu Palace on the scene. I am afraid that in view of this, His Majesty intends to help Xie to rise up, so that he can do things for the tenth and twelve princes in the future. Grind...so brother twenty-one must be careful, otherwise, if there is a trick, I am afraid that if there is a way to become a prince in the future, the Xie family will be useless."
Xie Wuzheng was silent for a while, then suddenly leaned forward slightly, and said in a low voice: "Young lady, you and I are flesh and blood, and there is no third person around at this moment, Rong Chen asked me a heart-wrenching sentence: My lady now has my own flesh and blood." The fifteenth prince, but I don't know, do you have any far-reaching plans for the fifteenth prince?"
Although the front and rear palaces were sure that Yun Fenghuang would covet the position of the East Palace, in fact Yun Fenghuang did think so.
But after all, it has never been brought up blatantly.
Asked by Xie Wuzheng at this moment, she paused briefly, then raised her head and looked at him calmly: "If this palace really has this intention, but I don't know what Brother Twenty One thinks?"
"Naturally, I will fully support the empress and the fifteen princes!" Xie Wuzheng heaved a sigh of relief as if letting go of any burden, and said without hesitation, "Your majesty is wise and powerful, and the empress is very intelligent. The fifteen princes will definitely be a hero among men in the future! Where is ten Is the prince comparable to the twelve princes?"
He promised so readily, Yun Fenghuang felt a little skeptical in his heart, and couldn't help asking: "Does everyone in the family think this way too?"
"...The left and right of the family can't help us much now. Why should your mother care about their thoughts?" I am still young, so I have great potential! Such an opportunity has been rarely available since ancient times. If I don’t move forward today, I am afraid that my future grandson will feel sorry for it!"
Only then did Yun Fenghuang feel relieved.
What did she say, as far as the lintel of the Xie family can produce a concubine, that is enough to talk about in the countryside.
As a result, the daughter-in-law accidentally became a noble concubine, and she is still the emperor's favorite... Apart from being proud of the many elders of the Xie family, most of them definitely don't want her to make another dangerous move. Otherwise, it will be difficult to keep her current wealth and status. It will also drag down Xie's future.
But Yun Fenghuang didn't bother to care about it, when Xie Fenghuan had an accident, the Xie family immediately cut off her wrists.
As a prostitute who was cultivated by the family and loved and grown up, Yun Fenghuang recalled that this matter was a more complicated emotion than love and hate.
So after she gains power, she will pull up the family, not only because of the reward for Xie's raising her, but also because she also needs the family as her wings; but similarly, when she acts, she doesn't think too much The situation of the family, whether she will be involved, whether she is willing to take risks with her... Yun Fenghuang only does what he wants to do.
Because of Xie's going up and down, it's difficult to move an inch or something, just tell Chunjia to get sympathy.
How is it actually possible.
She earned what she has today, and she doesn't owe anyone... Well, apart from feeling a little guilty about Qi Jiulu, Yun Fenghuang doesn't care how many relatives, friends and old friends her decision will cause trouble at all.
Xie Wuzheng's statement made Yun Fenghuang quite surprised. Although she had thought about it early in the morning, since Xie Wuzheng owed her current status to herself, no matter what Xie Wuzheng thought, she would anyway. Forcibly tied this cousin to his chariot to pave the way for the fifteenth prince's enthronement in the future. But Xie Wuzheng himself also meant the same thing, for Yun Fenghuang, of course it was a good thing.
"The elders' thoughts can actually be understood." At this moment, she eased her expression and said slowly, "With our family's little wealth, it is already a blessing to be able to have today... If we continue to work hard, if we can succeed, we will still be able to do so." That's all. Once it fails, then... I am afraid it will be lost!"
Xie Wuzheng said indifferently: "Madam, the Xie family is located in a remote place. To put it bluntly, it is like a frog in the bottom of a well. We were all in the village back then. What we saw and heard, we only thought that the Xie family was already a very rare big family. But now, After coming to the Imperial Capital and seeing the government and the people, can we still feel this way? Not to mention success, even if it fails, how bad can we go?"
Yun Fenghuang looked at him, and really wanted to say that if he really failed, Xie's burden would not be light.
The main reason is that she set up a person at the beginning, so that even the emperor firmly believed that she was for the Xie family.
So even if many people in Xie's family are not happy that she continues to take risks to fight, how can the future winner let Xie's family go for revenge?
But after thinking about it, I understood: Sui'an couldn't give birth, Xie Wuzheng took a slanted sword in his anger, and proclaimed his vow not to continue and not to take concubines in the future...
This is not just to swear in front of the emperor, this is known by the whole world.
He didn't leave a way out for himself at the beginning, so unless he wanted to be abandoned by the world, otherwise, he was doomed to have no heirs when he was alive... After his death, the Xie family would probably give him an adoptive heir, that's another time thing.
At this time, people pay attention to unfilial piety, there are three things, and no descendants are the biggest. How many people are doing their best for their children and grandchildren. Xie Wuzheng is now in the prime of his life and has no future thoughts. So besides power, money and beauty, he can also pursue What?
In terms of beauty, before Xie Wuzheng became the lord, when he was still in the Northland, he had a decent reputation. He was not a romantic person like Xie Fu, and his wife was the eldest princess of the dynasty. They don't want to mess around; as for money... Although the Xie family is nothing in front of the famous families in the court, they are considered top-notch wealthy in the countryside. Childhood is also the day of calling slaves and servants. After coming to the Imperial Capital, I have seen real wealthy families, so I certainly feel that the treatment in the past is nothing more than that. But still the same sentence, Xie Wuzheng married the eldest princess. After marriage, she also lives in the Princess Palace. Food and clothing are managed by the eldest princess's mansion, and his life is no worse than that of a famous son.
Even because the emperor treated Xiaozong's flesh and blood generously, sometimes he would rather wrong himself and the harem if there were any good things, and he would hold on to the three golden branches and jade leaves.
Xie Wuzheng's current life is comparable to that of Yun Fenghuang.
He was the best person in his knowledge from childhood to adulthood, and he didn't really have any concept of money.
Although I am also interested, but...it is not enough to pursue it as the sustenance of the rest of my life.
Then there is only power.
Anyway, he won't have any heirs, even if things fail, no one will be affected by his own flesh and blood, right?
In this way, it is no wonder that Xie Wuzheng feels that it is okay to fail.
Because he may already be regretting, annoyed, and angry now... But what he said is irreversible. Since he can't have an heir, he got rid of a heavy shackle and simply helped the imperial concubine and cousin pursue that seat. It can leave a name in history.
So it is not in vain to come to this world for a while.
Thinking of this, Yun Fenghuang sighed secretly, and even felt a little secretly happy.
It was because she was happy that Suian couldn't have this happen, but she didn't expect to help her by mistake.
If Xie Wuzheng already has an heir under his knees, it is conceivable that he might be like the rest of the Xie family, thinking that the noble concubine has a status and loves her own son, so why continue to bother? Anyway, the Xie family will have a concubine to follow the favored vassal king in the future, and they will be able to keep them rich and honored for generations.
Yun Fenghuang suppressed his joy, and said softly: "Brother Twenty-one, is Your Highness still seeing a doctor recently? But I don't know the result?"
She suddenly changed the subject, Xie Wuzheng was stunned, and then he said unnaturally: "Emperor doctors said that it is impossible to have any more children, so why bother to look again? Is the medicine three-point poison, or don't bother... But Your Highness It seemed that he did not give up, and quietly arranged for someone to diagnose. In fact, I had heard some rumors and persuaded His Highness to put his jade body as the most important thing. But His Highness promised, but behind the scenes... I can't help it. You can't get angry with His Majesty, can you? The most uncomfortable thing about this matter is His Majesty himself. When I come back this time, I also plan to mention it to His Majesty in private, to see if His Majesty can help persuade His Majesty a little bit?"
What he said made Yun Fenghuang nod secretly, this is what a son-in-law should look like.
The door lintel is far inferior, if you don't know how to be kind to golden branches and jade leaves... If Suian is the kind of soft-tempered eldest princess who is not cared about, it's fine, her mother Shen Taipin and heir brother Chun Jiake Her grievances will not fall on deaf ears.
"Your Majesty is busy with government affairs now, and I am afraid that His Majesty is not easy to talk about women's affairs." Yun Fenghuang said, "Why don't you do this? When I look back, I am confinement, so I will talk to Your Majesty and Your Highness. …Brother Twenty-One was also young and energetic back then, but his current appearance is probably not what His Majesty wants to see. Even if you don’t talk about taking concubines and having children, at least adopt one or two from the clan, and let His Majesty feel the family relationship of children around his knees Joy isn't it?"
Xie Wuzheng shook his head when he heard the words, and said: "My lady's kindness, I appreciate it! But Rong Chen said the truth: I am a descendant of a descendant, and my wife has personally experienced the clear rules of the family. Therefore, the concubine Even if the son is his own flesh and blood, how can he be compared with his own son? As for the heir who is said to be the heir, he is not his own son after all, I really don't have the patience to treat it as my own."
There is no other way, Yun Fenghuang sighed slightly, but did not persuade him any more.
What she said just now was originally a temptation.
Because planning for the 15th prince is destined to be a very long process, one is that Chunjia is not easy to deal with, and must be planned slowly; It happened more than ten or twenty years later, even if he sat on the position of prince now, unless Chunjia suddenly died suddenly, he might not be able to take the position.
After such a long time, who knows if Xie Wuzheng will change his mind again?
Or Suian took the initiative to compromise and solved the heir issue for him? At that time, he will have concerns and fetters, and maybe he will think about getting off the ship.
Seeing that Xie Wuzheng was still saying the same thing as before, Yun Fenghuang felt relieved, she could understand this kind of thinking, because she herself was similar.
She can take good care of the seventh and ninth princes of King Qin Zhaoqing, but this is mainly for Chunjia to see, as well as the need to maintain her personality, and the consideration of the interests of these children after they are raised.
Let her treat unrelated children purely, without any purpose or selfishness, even in her own name...she can't do it.
Not to mention no blood relationship, like Xie Meng, a direct niece, who looks exactly like her, has no city, and wholeheartedly focuses on her as a real aunt... Yun Fenghuang is only thinking about her on the premise of not harming her own interests.
It is impossible to look at it as one's own flesh and blood.
In fact, even if it is the fifteenth prince who is his own, if he dares to be as angry with her as Chun Jia Qi Yuan Queen Mother in the future, she probably will not be polite.
"Since that's the case, let's not talk about it." Yun Fenghuang calmed down and said, "If Brother Twenty-One has other ideas in the future, he can tell Bengong."
Although you are still very determined, what if you change your mind in the future?
So it's better to coax it first, so as not to sell Ben Gong and Ben Gong without knowing it!
"I don't know how the palace has been going on for so many years?" Xie Wuzheng nodded, and the siblings considered the topic to be covered, so he asked, "Although there was a glimpse or two in the previous letter, is it not detailed enough?"
