Chapter 336: Fuyang Envoy

The queen held back her anger, pulled the tenth prince up, and said in a low voice: "What nonsense are you talking about?!"

Before the Tenth Prince could open his mouth, he pushed him into the arms of a nearby attendant, and said coldly, "Send him down!"

"No! Mother, I beg mother!" Seeing this, the tenth prince was in a hurry and struggled hard, but at his age, the attendant held it down lightly, and persuaded him in a low voice: "Your Highness, don't do this, you will be the queen just after landing!" How can the one raised by the empress listen to the nonsense of outsiders, but not listen to the empress's words?"

However, the tenth prince refused, and begged the queen to spare Ping Shi, crying and screaming.

The more he behaved like this, the more disappointed the Queen was.

As the attendant said, the child was raised in front of her as soon as he landed, like the Twelfth Prince, who was raised in the side hall of the Taichu Palace for more than half a year due to drowning, but even so, he recovered quickly after returning to the harem Closeness to the Queen. Since the tenth prince grew up, he hardly ever left the empress's presence for a moment, and now he suddenly knew that Mrs. Ping was his biological mother, which already made the empress shocked and angry.

Moreover, he still defends the Ping family so hard, it's hard not to let the queen suspect, in fact, the tenth prince has known his biological mother for some time, and some people have been instigating him to miss Ping Xianyi in private.

Otherwise, at the age of the tenth prince, whoever is ignorant, should kiss whoever treats him well.

Gu Zhen thought that he truly regarded this child as his own, and never slack off in the slightest. Maybe she's not capable enough, maybe she didn't think well, but in what she can think of and what she can do, she really does her best to care for the child!

As a result, the tenth prince is so resolute in maintaining peace and prosperity, what does the queen think?

Combined with the example of Empress Dowager Yuan and Empress Dowager Qu, Gu Zhen's heart was full of sorrow, and he couldn't help but turned his head and whispered to another servant: "There is an old saying that dog meat can't be safe on sheep, so that's about it. I raised it with one hand. This child, Ping Shi only meets him occasionally at banquets throughout the year, and has never talked to him in private, what he is thinking about in the end is Ping Shi!"

"Your Majesty, His Royal Highness the Tenth Prince is young, so maybe he was bewitched by someone in private." The valet also felt heavy in his heart. If an ordinary heir does not get close to the queen, it would be the heir's own loss.

But the tenth prince, this is the master who is expected to enter the East Palace.

If he doesn't want the queen in his heart, it's not a good thing for the queen, for the queen's close servants, or for Gu Shi!

So I could only bite the bullet and try to persuade the queen to be more open, "Go back and teach me slowly, how good you are to His Highness the Tenth Prince is obvious to all, and His Highness will naturally understand when he grows up."

But originally the empress was a bit in a dilemma about how to deal with Ping Xianyi, but now that the tenth prince came over to stir things up, it was even more difficult.

For a moment, Gu Zhen wished he could call himself sick on the spot, so that he could push off this hot job.

She finally thought about it, and heard that the imperial concubine was emotionally agitated because of this incident and was not in a good mood, so that the emperor put aside his government affairs and rushed over to visit in person, and all the heirs under her knees came to the scene to perform their filial piety, not to mention, even the concubine De He rushed over with the three princesses.

In the past two years, the palace affairs have always been handled by the empress, the noble concubine, the former concubine Ouyang Fulu and the concubine De. After Ouyang Fulu left, although Cui Lianye took over the position of concubine Shu, she failed to get a hand in the palace power. Concubine De follows the imperial concubine in everything, and now that she has even brought her daughter with her, it is obvious that the "love and sisters" character of the same imperial concubine will be carried out to the end.

Now the empress has nowhere to push her. In addition to grief and indignation, she feels that there is a reason why she has been unable to fight against the imperial concubine in the palace. Except that Yun Fenghuang is so fond of her, there is nothing in her middle palace except the Ping family. Useful confidant!

The queen's heart was ups and downs, and Yun Fenghuang was also a little surprised. She did arrange for someone to reveal the news of the biological mother to the ten and twelve princes, so that they would have a gap with the queen, but... this is what happened in the past two days Things, why did the Tenth Prince have such deep feelings for the Ping family? Go against the queen and protect the Ping clan?

How old is this kid? Does he understand so much...

"Third Prince really worked hard." After thinking for a while, she smirked to herself, and said in her heart, "If the Empress knows the truth in the future, I don't know what face she will have?"

In her opinion, the only person who can calmly drive the relationship between the tenth prince and the queen is the third prince's side.

Of course, there is another possibility, that is, Queen Mother Yuan.

But today's Yanfu Palace was passed by the emperor himself, and the Empress Dowager Yuan's staff must have been cleaned up in sevens and eighties. Even the eyeliner arranged by Yun Fenghuang, many of them were chased away by making excuses.

Wanting to do things in Zhonggong is not as easy as before.

"Tomorrow, you will go to the queen to express my condolences on behalf of Bengong." She turned her head and told Chen Jing, "Just say that the empress's heartache is the most embarrassing for Bengong. When King Qin and Zhaoqing came to ask, Bengong was also very sad. Tight. Fortunately, the two children were brought up by Bengong, and they were married to Bengong in the end. Let the queen not think too much, the tenth prince should be too young to understand how the queen treats him well. Grow up After a while, when he becomes sensible, he will understand how lucky he is to have a queen as his mother."

Of course, these words were not intended to comfort the queen sincerely, but were designed to make things difficult for Gu Zhen.

In the beginning, they all raised children who were not their own, and were questioned by the children whether they were the biological mother, but the tenth prince clearly defended the biological mother who made a mistake. Yun Fenghuang is here, quietly, and the children still protect her. ;Secondly, the meaning behind the words is that the tenth prince is young and doesn't know the importance of being a son-in-law. When he grows up and is more sensible, he can't say that after weighing the pros and cons, he... will pretend.

In this way, a thorn was always placed in the queen's heart.

Even in the future, if the tenth prince does not kiss her, she will certainly feel uncomfortable; if she does, she will inevitably wonder whether the child knows the benefits and deliberately coaxes her?

At the end, he asked again, "Is the queen's treatment of the Ping family settled?"

"Just now, the people over there came over and said that the empress demoted Mrs. Ping as a talented person, fined her a year's salary, and ordered her to copy scriptures and pray for the empress and all her highnesses from now on." Chen Jing said in a low voice. "The people from the middle palace mean that the original Ping family's crime was extremely heinous, even if it was directly thrown into the cold palace. It's just that she is the birth mother of the ten princes. Back then, the empress loved the ten princes very much. I'm afraid that when the time comes The Tenth Prince's face is not good-looking, and the empress will feel distressed when she finds out."

Yun Fenghuang said lightly: "Gu Zhen was smart for a while, and he used the tenth prince to talk about it? Will he send the tenth prince to intercede for his biological mother later?"

Chen Jing hurriedly asked: "Is the empress willing to see His Highness the Tenth Prince? If not, my servant..."

"It's okay." Yun Fenghuang was not afraid of Zhonggong talking about the child at all, because she didn't have children in front of her, so she ordered, "If the tenth prince comes, Zhao Qing will deal with it. She Gu Zhen raised the tenth prince all these years I haven't seen much caring, Zhaoqing from this palace is a real little padded jacket."

Princess Zhaoqing is really domineering. Apart from being respectful to her mother and concubine, she even dares to punch and kick Chunjia when she is in a hurry, let alone other brothers and sisters.

Yun Fenghuang was very relieved to entrust the Tenth Prince to her for arrangement.

Chen Jing also smiled when she heard the words, and said, "Yes, the servant girl will tell Her Highness the Princess when she turns around."

But the Zhonggong side didn't let the tenth prince come over, maybe because the third prince has been suffering from Zhao Qing's hand, and the empress has a long memory, fearing that the younger tenth prince will also not be able to please him when he comes.

After notifying Xuanqing Palace of the result of the disposition, the queen went directly to the previous court to ask Chunjia to plead guilty.

Chunjia was not satisfied with Ping's fate: "That's it?"

"It depends on Xiao Shi's face." Gu Zhen carried out the ten princes as usual, "Although Xiao Shi did not grow up under the imperial concubine's knees, your majesty knows that the imperial concubine has always treated him well. When the palace was closed last year, Xiao Shi did not Don't go to Xuanqing Palace to pay your respects. The imperial concubine likes him very much, and even gave him many small things... This time, Xiao Shi begged repeatedly for his biological mother, and the concubine couldn't bear it anymore. Thinking about the imperial concubine, I am afraid that he would not be willing to call him a little girl for this. I was very sad, so I let it go lightly."

As mentioned earlier, the emperor sincerely believed that the imperial concubine had good intentions for all children. Hearing the words, he believed it, and felt that this was the reason, the imperial concubine would not feel sorry for the Ping family, but she might not feel sorry for the tenth prince.

In this way, he no longer asked to deal with Ping's family, but only asked the queen to be more careful in the future, and don't always ask her subordinates to do all kinds of evil deeds without knowing it.

"I know your temperament. You should not instruct the subordinates to curse the concubines and wives. If not, this time, let alone handing over people to you, even you and I will check carefully." The emperor said. He scolded bluntly, "But you can't just live your own life just because I trust you, and ignore the concubines in the sixth palace, right? You are the queen! How can you not count all the affairs in the harem? If you are like this, I am afraid that the rebels have attacked the Taichu Palace, and you are still thinking about what to say at the court meeting tomorrow!"

Gu Zhen listened to mixed feelings. If you want to be angry, think about the fact that the emperor trusts her; don't be angry, the emperor really despises her.

The most important thing is that what the emperor said is correct. As a queen, she should know the six palaces well. The problem is that the concubine is so favored. Today's concubines probably don't even have time to hug the concubine's thigh. How many of them will go with her? She is not as effective as a noble concubine when she speaks in the palace. How can she have a clear grasp of the movements of the six palaces?

After much deliberation, Gu Zhen felt that it would be a good time to get through it once, and he could breathe a sigh of relief when the prince next to his knees entered the East Palace.

So she admitted her mistake with a low eyebrow and pleasing to the eye, and said something about the virtuous and virtuous concubine against her conscience, and finally the emperor's face eased, saying that there were still government affairs to be dealt with, so she stepped down for the time being.

Back at the Chongchang Palace, the Empress only had the time to find out how the Tenth Prince knew about her parentage.

However, after checking it back and forth, it is more vague. The main reason is that when the Imperial City Secretary thoroughly investigated the Central Palace, many people were changed.

The two first-born princes were not served by old people, but were chosen by the emperor himself. They didn't know much about the prince's past, and said that the tenth prince had no other problems except that he was more attached to the third prince.

Although the empress is not smart enough, her left and right are not full of food. Someone immediately asked: "Could it be that the third prince told the tenth prince?"

It's fine if it's just like this, the third prince is not very old, he might slip up by accident, it can't be said that he did it on purpose.

The question is, what about the Tenth Prince's nostalgia for his biological mother whom he has never had much contact with?

If this is also done by the third prince, then the fun will be great...

The queen couldn't help feeling distraught for a moment.

But Yun Fenghuang didn't care about the excitement of Zhonggong at the moment, she didn't take Ping's fate to heart, because Ping Xianyi couldn't be her opponent in the first place. It was just that Xuanqinggong didn't want to find fault with everything before, but now that he thought about it, he could be knocked into the dust in minutes.

This is also Yun Fenghuang's plan to save her life for later use, otherwise, if she insists, Chunjia will definitely not disobey the favorite concubine for the life of a wife.

Even, after doing so, the future of the Tenth Prince died prematurely.

At least today's Chunjia will definitely not push the prince who has a feud with the imperial concubine to the position of heir.

Yun Fenghuang is now busy entertaining the envoys of Empress Dowager Qu.
