Chapter Three Hundred and Seven

"They are all people who have become their own mothers. Of course, it is impossible to be the same as before." Yun Fenghuang met his gaze and said calmly, "Your Majesty, the concubine said that for the sake of fifteen, what does the concubine do?" I would like to. You know, the concubine is so used to being a small and top-ranking concubine, and I have to fight for the first place in everything! Let alone the seat? Even if the concubine himself can not covet the second position, it is said that he has not planned for the fifteenth. , that is impossible."

She understated and calmly said the words that the two of them had tacitly agreed not to expose, which made the emperor a little at a loss for a while.

"But who is called fifteen - less than three months, it will be a catastrophe?"

Yun Fenghuang sighed softly, "The thirteenth prince disappeared not long after the flowers bloomed on the fifteenth day. The place where Concubine Jing lives is actually not that close to the concubine's Xuanqing Palace, but her cries in those few days, Even if the concubine ordered someone to hang down all the tents in the bedroom, she could still hear clearly. That was really... heartbreaking... The thirteenth prince is older than fifteen years, and he has never heard of anything unhealthy He's gone, can Fifteen survive? I don't know... At that time, His Majesty couldn't be by my side... The queen can't take care of herself. As for the others, I want to find someone to talk about From the bottom of my heart, I want to confide my fear, but looking around, there is no one who is suitable... After all, the eleventh prince will soon..."

She lowered her eyes, but there was no sound of sobbing, only clear tears falling down.

Chunjia told herself in her heart not to be soft-hearted, this is the usual trick of the imperial concubine.

She always knew how to behave and how to narrate to impress him.

If it was an ordinary matter, even if it was not in compliance with the rules, the emperor would just turn a blind eye and put his arms around her to comfort her.

But this one doesn't work...

Really can not.

So he is determined not to be weak, not to compromise.

He had to be indifferent, and use practical actions to make Yun Fenghuang understand that some things just have no room for change.

The emperor dotes on her, and she can even do whatever she wants on the premise of not hindering the country and society.

Even if she is a favorite concubine, the emperor can't give up on her when it interferes with the country and society.

Yun Fenghuang didn't know what he was thinking, and it didn't matter if he knew, and continued with all his heart: "At that time, I felt that nothing was important, and I didn't care about anything, I just wanted to be with Shiwu in person."

After a pause, she slowly said, "At that time, I thought of my biological mother. That year when my sixth sister had an accident, my concubine, as the half-sister of my sixth sister, was brought up by the same mother. At that time, someone Appeal, put my concubine and my sixth sister in a pig cage to prove my Xie family tradition... At that time, under the excitement of the crowd, my father and brother were a little silent, only my mother stood up and argued for my concubine's status The concubine was young and weak at the time, she could only hide in the room and cry, but she didn't know how much trouble, effort and price her mother had spent in exchange for sending the concubine to the imperial capital to avoid the limelight..."

"Thus, although my concubine has a bad temper, she listens to her mother the most."

"Because I always feel that in this world, only my mother loves my concubine from beginning to end."

"No matter whether the concubine is good or bad, no matter whether the concubine can bring her dignity and benefits, just because the concubine is her child and her own flesh and blood, she will never give up the concubine!"

"I always think I owe my mother."

"But at that time, I was stopped by the left and right and I couldn't see the fifteenth. I could only listen to the left and right to tell him that everything was fine, but when I saw that the people around me were just fooling me... the concubine suddenly understood. I don't want my concubine to be grateful to her and feel that I owe her. As long as my concubine is doing well, my mother will be satisfied."

"After all, this is how I think about fifteen."

"As long as the fifteenth is good..." Yun Fenghuang raised her head, her face was already wet with tears, she said softly, "If it's me, I don't care about throwing everything at all, but I have thought about it for a long, long time, my concubine I can't bear Fifteen's departure! So I can bet on myself, and even Xie's family, but I dare not bet on Fifteen! But this is a big deal, if I persist in my obsession, how can I bet on Fifteen? Is there any danger at all? Even if you win, you will be honored, but if you lose... I can't afford to lose!"

"Since that's the case, then tell me, Your Majesty, why should the concubine continue to haggle with the empress and Liugong at this moment?"

Chunjia frowned slightly, for a moment she couldn't tell how sincere the concubine's words were?

Because in his perception of the noble concubine, there is no doubt that Yun Fenghuang attaches great importance to his heirs.

This is the character design that Yun Fenghuang set up for him several years ago. After taking Xie Meng into the palace to be educated, treating Qin Wang Zhaoqing and other non-biological heirs favorably, being the second emperor's daughter and the third prince and other non-biological heirs and not his own raising After the emperor's heir spoke, showed the emperor the frequent pain of being unable to bear children, and looked forward to the arrival of the fifteenth day, the emperor never thought that all the children in Yun Fenghuang's mind combined were not as important as herself.

He thinks that the imperial concubine is the kind of mother who is desperate for her children.

Coupled with Yun Fenghuang's intentional or unintentional mention of Jiang's love and affection for her, Chunjia couldn't help but feel that Yun Fenghuang herself was loved and grew up, and when it was her turn to be a mother, she would naturally act like her mother. Treat her like you would treat your own children.

And Chunjia knew that the Jiang family was actually deep-minded, but according to the report of the Imperial City Secretary, this Mrs. Jiang loved her children, including the non-biological Xie Fenghuan, sincerely, and she maintained her imperviousness everywhere, seemingly virtuous. Shude, in fact, can't listen to others saying that her child is wrong.

On this basis, if we continue to suspect Yun Fenghuang's ulterior motives and retreat in order to advance, it seems... Isn't this too suspicious?

The emperor thought to himself, could it be that he is really destined to be added to his body? The gradual tightening of the imperial power is the result of his diligent and tireless struggle, and it is only natural that he has come steadily and steadily, but he has not had time to do anything about the harmony between the concubines!

At this moment, the emperor even had an idea to let Yun Fenghuang know that it might explode on the spot: Since the imperial concubine has taken the initiative to reconcile with the queen, then...how about Xie Wuzheng and Xie Xiaoyu, so there is no need to be promoted?

"Then you're changing ways to excuse Gu Li just to please the queen?" Chun Jia pondered for a while, then asked in a harmonious voice.

When he asked this question, he felt extremely uncomfortable.

Is it because Yun Fenghuang only entered the palace back then, or was it because the Ji family was in power and the Empress Yuan was still here, was it the first or the second, third, fourth, and fifth time he stayed at her residence at that time?

Early in the morning, she got up in a panic, not because she wanted to serve him, nor because she was afraid of neglecting him, but because she was afraid that Ji Lingzi would not like it if she greeted him late.

"It's okay to offend His Majesty, but you must never offend the Empress Dowager" was written all over her face!

Afterwards, even if Chunjia came into power, had great power in his hands, and his prestige was even higher than that of Empress Ji and even the Ji family, why did the imperial concubine treat him so nervously?

She didn't even bother to get up and serve him.

When did this concubine ever try to please him with her gentleness and carelessness?

And at this time, she actually started to please the queen again...

He didn't enjoy the treatment before, but the two queens actually enjoyed it?

Chunjia was both aggrieved and dissatisfied, and hated Gu Zhen somewhat.

At the beginning when Yun Fenghuang flattered Ji Lingzi, although he slapped him in the face, but there is one thing to say, Ji Lingzi's family background is so prominent that even Chunjia himself has been irritated by Ji's hands, and he still has filial sons and virtuous grandsons to support Ji. The empress dowager, so she can barely understand Yun Fenghuang's actions at that time.

Gu Zhen...

It is not an exaggeration, Chunjia never took Gu Zhen seriously or seriously.

He didn't even feel that Gu Shi had any qualifications to be compared with Ji Shi.

Therefore, Yun Fenghuang's flattery to Gu Zhen made the emperor feel even more heartbroken.

The young emperor had such a momentary urge to stop thinking so much. After years of hard work and humiliation, what was he trying to do? Isn't it just a picture of a big power in Yujiyu? That being the case, why should I wrong the concubine I really like? ? ?

With him and Yun Fenghuang's intelligence, the qualifications of the fifteenth prince will not be much worse!

Then why bother to let Yun Fenghuang bow his head and be wronged again and again, and even let the only heir of the two so far be in front of the main palace that they don't like, and the tenth or twelve princes who have not had much personal relationship so far? Do you bow down, or even let yourself be dealt with?

Just let the fifteenth take the seat!

But his reason stopped him from blurting out his words.

First of all, the head of abolishing the prostitute and establishing the concubine cannot be raised. Otherwise, the hearts of the royal family will be fluctuating in the future, brothers will fight each other, and concubines will slander each other... The tragedy in Sejong's later years will repeat itself, I'm afraid it's just a thought.

The second is to find excuses to abandon Gu Zhen and change Li Yunfeng Huang, which is not successful. Because he was really worried about Yun Fenghuang.

Gu Zhen is incapable of doing politics, Yun Fenghuang... In Yun Fenghuang's own eyes, no matter how angry she is and how much she hates Chunjia, she also sincerely hopes that Chunjia will have a peaceful life in the past two years. Because she felt that she could not support such a great dynasty.

However, in Chunjia's eyes, the imperial concubine is very intelligent, with a delicate and keen mind, and when she really intrigues, even he, the emperor with a distinguished record, must concentrate on dealing with it.

Even though Yun Fenghuang did not have the ability to suppress the civil and military forces of the Manchu dynasty, it was mainly because the emperor had not given her any chance to get involved in government affairs or influence the previous dynasty.

If she becomes the queen mother in the future...

Maybe he will not point fingers because of his own flesh and blood; but it is not impossible, unable to withstand the temptation of power, to suppress his own son and listen to politics behind the curtain!

Thus setting a bad example for the descendants of the Gongxiang family.

It's not that Chunjia doesn't trust Yun Fenghuang, it's his own personal lesson.

Back then when he was in Fuyang County, no, needless to say that long, just said that he was still in dormancy for a few years ago, he was so grateful to Queen Mother Yuan, and vowed that if he was in power, he would definitely He was obedient and obedient to the Empress Dowager Yuan.

He also believed that Empress Dowager Yuan was the kind of truly loving mother who would always be extremely considerate and love her like a treasure.

The results of it?

Counting it, less than ten years after he took office, the mother and son parted ways.

He feels guilty, and besides feeling guilty, he also feels that if given another chance, he will still send off the queen mother with regret, because the queen mother has become more and more partial to Yuan Shi in the past two years, and Yuan Shi is also in a daze, daring to think about anything! Dare to do anything!

As for the Queen Mother?

Chunjia speculated that she should also be sad, but if the Queen Mother is given another chance, will she keep a distance from Yuan Shi?

Not too possible.

Because the Queen Mother Yuan's actions seemed to be for Yuan's consideration, but in fact it was not for her own power and status? Although she, the empress dowager, already had some meaning that she could not be promoted, but according to the rules passed down by the Ji family, the palace affairs were presided over by the empress, and neither the empress dowager nor the empress dowager would easily intervene, which made the empress dowager Yuan look dignified. In fact, there is no real power in hand. Once the heirs grow up and the East Palace is established, the crown prince's mother will overwhelm the old man in an instant.

She should be more or less reconciled, right?

When she was in the Fuyang Palace, she suffered a lot in the early years, but since the concubine left, she is actually in charge of the huge feudal kingdom.

After accompanying Chunjia into the palace, mother and son, Yu Ji's hand covering the world, trembled, cautious in words and deeds, and finally got ahead, but they had to spend their old age... Can the Queen Mother enjoy it willingly?

Especially the empress and concubine in power in the sixth palace is not the niece Yuan Niangniang she likes and expects!

... All in all, looking back at the gradual distance between herself and the Queen Mother Yuan, Chunjia did not expect anyone else to be able to resist the temptation of power.

The feeling of life and death in Yu Jiyu is beyond the imagination of those who have never stood on the highest ground.

Chunjia himself can't do it, Queen Mother Yuan can't do it, Yunfenghuang... how can he count on the future of the Gongxiang family on Yunfenghuang's firm will?

Don't say that Yun Fenghuang's love for the fifteenth prince is profound, the Empress Dowager Yuan also loved him wholeheartedly back then!

People's hearts are changeable, even if parents are to children!

The emperor sighed deeply in his heart, subdued all the ups and downs of his heart, and asked slowly: "Then have you thought about it? If Gu Li is convicted of the crime, your rhetoric just now... will inevitably be implicated!"
