Chapter 324: Beacon
In a few days, the Secretary of the Imperial City withdrew from the Central Palace, and the Yanfu Palace was changed up and down, except for the queen's dowry.
The reason why people talk about the queen is that she is completely rejected by the emperor, and the future of the Gu family is even uncertain.
However, the news that the Twelve Princes moved back from the Taichu Palace to the Harem and was still under the care of Gu Zhen quickly broke the dislike for Gu.
It's just that Gu Zhen is still worried, mainly because after the ups and downs of one child after another over the years, she doesn't trust her own abilities very much now, and she is always worried that one day she will be muddled, and some tricks will fall on the tenth prince or the twelve princes up.
She even said to the left and right: "If it is not for sure whether the imperial concubine really reforms herself, I would like to count on her to help take care of the two princes."
"Your Majesty, you must not do this!" The servants hurriedly stopped, "Even if the imperial concubine sincerely assists you, but the imperial concubine is the imperial concubine, how can there be any reason for the prince to be raised by the imperial concubine when the main palace is in power?"
What does such a big prince know? Then who raised and kissed whom?
You want to hand them over to the noble concubine for their safety. After the noble concubine brings up her wife peacefully, she might stop kissing you!
Of course, Gu Zhen is just talking, no matter how much she worries about the safety of the princes, she can't let the noble concubine take advantage of it.
"I don't know what's going on with my father!" The queen sighed, she just felt that no matter what she did in the middle palace, there would never be a good day. After worrying about the future of the palace, she also had to worry about Gu Fangshu be afraid.
Gu Fangshu and his party did not go well, and they arrived at the border after stumbling. How did they negotiate with Gu Li? Because it is a military and state matter, not to mention the harem, even the former court officials, not everyone is qualified to mix. Every day, only a few important officials and young officials like Deng Chengzhai were called to discuss privately.
These people are very good at restraining their emotions, and it is impossible to judge the situation from their emotions before and after.
When Chunjia arrived in the harem, Yun Fenghuang made a few indirect remarks, but to no avail. He was worried that going too far would arouse the emperor's dislike, so he stopped talking, and only told Chunjia about the situation of the children. With the growth of the Seventh and Ninth Princes, she now intentionally brought up two younger children, which unavoidably reduced King Qin and Zhaoqing's attention from the emperor.
These two children have attracted much attention since they were young, how can they bear it? Turning around, he complained to Yun Fenghuang coquettishly.
After the noble concubine finished consoling her with a good voice, she blamed Chunjia, implying that Chunjia had to pay attention to the seventh and ninth princes for the two children. isn't it?
"That's why my mother and concubine mentioned it to you earlier. Even if you can't love your younger brothers and sisters from the bottom of your heart, you should at least pretend to be in front of your father." Yun Fenghuang calmly provoked dissension, "Otherwise, your father Even if you still dote on you, and don't directly blame you for not having the demeanor of the eldest son and eldest daughter, how can you not make up for your younger brothers and sisters in private? If you take the lead in treating your younger brothers and sisters well, your father will naturally have no reason to love them more ,right?"
King Qin and Zhaoqing felt more and more aggrieved as they listened.
Zhaoqing even cried sadly, and said: "At the beginning...the emperor said he liked his son the most! He has changed in just a few years!!!"
Yun Fenghuang nodded in approval, wiped her face, and whispered: "Your father is such a person, in the future, just listen to what he says!"
That bastard, thinking about how swearing he was at the beginning that he didn't care about this, that he didn't care about that, but when he turned around, he remembered everything clearly!
It was fine to lie to her before, but now even my daughter is cheated!
Zhaoqing deserves to be separated from him.
It wasn't just Zhaoqing. As the eldest son of the emperor, King Qin, even though his aptitude was not as good as Zhaoqing's, in the eyes of Wei Changkong and other lecturers, his status, the degree of attention, and the subjects he needed to master were naturally higher than the princess. Therefore, this idea is far more mature than children of this age.
At first, the King of Qin just watched Zhaoqing cry and the imperial concubine coaxed him to persuade him. Finally, Fang asked softly: "Mother, concubine, someone told the sons and ministers that the father is not only the biological father of the sons and ministers, but also the monarch of the world, so we cannot simply use The way you look at your father, the way you look at your father, is that right?"
"You are still young, it's not time to talk about this." Yun Fenghuang pondered for a while, and said slowly, "Your father still loves you as children, so there is no need to talk about it now." just be in awe of him..."
Otherwise, if Chunjia is aware of it, she may feel sorry for the child's maturity at a young age, but more, I am afraid that I still have to guard against the child who is mature at a young age, will he take the lead in preparing for the acquisition of reserves?
According to Yun Fenghuang's observation of the emperor, Qin Wang Zhaoqing is temporarily innocent, even if he is pampered and willful, there is no harm.
While the emperor was busy with government affairs, he was still willing to enjoy some family happiness.
"But you have to know that your father is more than your two children." The imperial concubine looked at King Qin, "It's not even the children of Xiaoqi, Xiaojiu, and Fifteen... The emperor's heirs in this palace are all your siblings. They It is also your father's blood, your father may not care as much about them as he does about you. But it is also his blood after all, he can't say he doesn't care at all."
In fact, there are so many imperial heirs now, not to mention Chunjia, even the queen may not be able to take care of her.
But Yun Fenghuang wanted to point out that King Qin and Zhaoqing had to pretend to love their siblings, so that they could be called Chunjia, and also let the former court and the harem know that noble concubines are good at raising children, and the children they raise are all brother-friendly, so naturally they don’t Will tell the two kids this.
After dismissing King Qin and Zhaoqing, Yun Fenghuang took a sip of the tea and squinted his eyes slightly: King Qin and Zhaoqing seem to have been raised together since childhood, so they are naturally closer. The two children are domineering and arrogant. Not to mention, I'm afraid that the Seventh and Ninth Princes are regarded as competitors in my heart. Such grievances and grievances when I was young are actually nothing, and it may not be impossible to ease them when I grow up and be sensible. But she will definitely not let them ease up and reconcile. She has to let them continue to confront each other, but they can't be incompatible, so that they can be used by the fifteenth in the future.
Thinking of the fifteenth, the imperial concubine sighed in frustration, because she thought that the twelve princes would return to the queen's side, and they would be able to enter school within two years...
At the beginning, the empress was suffering with great anxiety because of the fact that her legitimate son was younger than her concubine son, and it was inevitable that it would be Yun Fenghuang's turn to taste it in the future.
Now she can only pray that the fifteenth prince can pass on the talents of herself and Chunjia, and stand out from the crowd among the princes.
Yun Fenghuang thought about it, and called Chen Jing to him: "How about the noble sons of the various families that I asked you to inquire about?"
Chen Jing reported cautiously: "There are many noble sons in each family, but as far as I know, none of them are worthy of our princess."
"..." Yun Fenghuang was silent for a moment, and finally asked, "How is Jingninghou's house?"
Yes, she no longer expects the Xie family's children to revitalize the family to the extent that they are qualified to participate in such a major event as seizing the crown prince. Even if it was possible, she didn't want to pin all her hopes on Mrs. Xie. So I thought about it early and started to make a fuss about the marriage of the next child. Zhaoqing is handsome and the eldest daughter of the emperor, and she is also deeply loved by Chunjia, so it is naturally a very heavy bargaining chip.
The prospective son-in-law that the imperial concubine was looking forward to most in her heart was the heir of Marquis Jingning who became the representative of the military after Gu Fangshu.
Chen Jing said in a low voice, "Jingninghou...there are several heirs under his knees, who are about the same age as His Highness. But their family is very low-key, and their temperament and talents are not very clear to the outside world. And..."
He hesitated for a while before continuing, "The Marquis of Jingning looks heroic, and it is rumored that his wife is also considered pretty, but the descendants below his knees have not passed on her appearance."
What he said was euphemistic, but what he actually meant was that the children of the Jingning Hou family were not very good-looking.
"The Marquis of Jingning has served the country for many years, and he is a pillar of the country that His Majesty admires." Yun Fenghuang frowned slightly, and then said in a soft voice, "The appearance of this kind of person is second, the key is demeanor. Even if his children are not The handsomeness that is so popular nowadays must have been swayed by his ears and eyes, and his manners are also beyond the reach of others."
Chen Jing understood what the noble concubine meant, and only valued Jingning Hou's status and power, as well as his ability to compete for the reserve.
As for whether Zhaoqing will be wronged, that is not important.
Of course he has no opinion on this, the key point is: "I'm afraid His Highness can't understand the painstaking efforts of the empress."
Zhaoqing is wayward and may not be willing to accept this arrangement.
After all, how many girls in their teens are not cute? Deng Chengzhai's growth is not bad, his background and future are not problematic, and his family is still clean. Didn't Xie Meng also look down on him, and he was determined to find a son of a similar age?
"She's still young. In the future, when she should understand, she will understand." Yun Fenghuang disagreed. The child she raised with one hand can't be manipulated? impossible.
"Pay attention to the heirs of the Marquis of Jingning, especially the ones born on the first day." She ordered in a slow voice, "But there are also some traces, so that people can see... Zhaoqing is still young, so it is not appropriate to spread rumors at this time. Do you understand the news that should be delivered?"
Chen Jing agreed to leave, but after a while, she turned back with a solemn expression and told, "Madam, there is important news from the north. It is said that there is something strange in Weihe, and the frontier fortress beacon fire has been lit!"
This made Yun Fenghuang startled, and said: "It's not that Hele has been beaten and disabled, but there is still room for gathering the power of the small countries, and Xifa has not yet subdued the tribes, and the uncles and nephews are at a stalemate?! How long have they been? Can you let go of the grievance of killing your father?!"
She couldn't sit still for a while, she stood up and asked, "How is the frontier fortress?"
You know, her parents, brothers, sisters-in-law and nephews are all there!
Once the two countries go to war, although the Xie clan, as a big family, is more capable of resisting such risks than ordinary people, but once the Dingbei Army falls, they will be powerless, and they don't know what will happen to them then!
"Your Majesty urgently summoned important ministers to discuss matters in the previous court, and ordered not to disturb them." Chen Jing said in a low voice and quickly, "The empress has just gotten up and rushed over... But, I am afraid that Your Majesty has no time to call at this moment."
"..." Yun Fenghuang thought for a moment, then said in a deep voice, "Since that's the case, I won't bother His Majesty any more. You can go out of the palace and see if it's convenient for your son-in-law?"
