Chapter 344 Someone

The Qing people listened, their eyes lit up, and said: "The empress is confidant to the third prince, if this child treats her as a mother-killing enemy, then it will be fun to watch!"

Yun Fenghuang was not so optimistic, and said softly: "Although Ji Muzi is the biological mother of the second prince and the third prince, the two children were taken away from her when they were still in their infancy. I am still ignorant, since I was born, I am not as big as I am, neither the queen nor the concubine Shu is bad for the adopted son. After all these years, how much affection can the two children have for their biological mother? Look at Your Majesty as an example."

Chunjia was worried about Empress Dowager Yuan, but for Empress Dowager Qu...

That's because she knew that this mother was tortured by the Queen Mother Yuan, but she was indifferent!

"Now the second prince and the third prince are still young, and when they are young in a few years, they may still feel unconvinced and feel wronged for their own mother."

The noble concubine narrowed her eyes and sneered slightly, "But, if during this time, they encounter suppression and setbacks, and understand the importance of power and status, maybe...the queen doesn't explain, they themselves have to try their best to forget this enmity, and give their respective Mother and concubine, be a filial son honestly!"

She never felt what happened to her own.

Looking at Ouyang Fulu and Concubine Wan, who is not the direct daughter of his own family? After it was gone, didn't the big family recognize it without saying a word? Even the fourth princess and the sixth prince were arranged after bargaining between the empress and the noble concubine, but they didn't make a sound as their parents!

Why does Yun Fenghuang value the Seventh Prince? Isn't it because the child's fate is good, and he has a grandfather who values ​​flesh and blood?

But the upper and lower courts are only one Yinqu.

Although the second prince and the third prince are princes with the blood of Ji's blood, they may not necessarily be worried about Ji Muzi's death, relying on this, Yun Fenghuang can't rest assured that they will do what they will do in the future.

"Let the son-in-law..." The imperial concubine spoke slowly, but she sighed after speaking half a sentence, remembering that Xie Wuzheng had already returned to his hometown to observe his filial piety.

She paused, and then said, "The second and third princes are the same age as Qin Wang Zhaoqing. They are already eight years old this year, and they will move to the front next year. At that time, they can freely enter and leave the palace city, and make friends with outsiders...Forget it Days, when the time comes, the son-in-law and the others will be able to fulfill their filial piety. Let the son-in-law arrange some close confidantes for him."

Even if these confidantes can't mislead the twin princes, as long as they look like twin princes from the outside, what they do will be credited to the twin princes.

Yun Fenghuang made some arrangements before waving the Qing people to retreat. At this time, a palace official came in to report and said softly: "Madam, the Wang family in the side hall is pregnant. Counting the date, it was last month. Your Majesty Come here, the time the empress asked her to serve."

"Reward according to the rules." Yun Fenghuang was stunned when she heard the words, but she didn't take it seriously. Now she has both children, and she has her own prince. As for the things that the palace people help to raise children, it's not right. I am very concerned.

However, if someone is pregnant, it is not a bad thing to give her a baby.

After all, the children born to these palace concubines are naturally her children. Considering her future arrangements for King Jin and the assistance of several younger brothers and sisters, even if it is a mediocre and incompetent waste, it is Chunjia's own flesh and blood at any rate. It is always good to win over an in-law.

So I asked a few words about the situation of the Wang family, and learned that this is the same group of poor family girls who entered the palace with Yi Xingen. She's kind enough to be promoted by chance...now she's a beauty.

Yun Fenghuang said: "Let her have a good pregnancy, and there is no need to come to the main hall to pay her respects in the future. It is serious to give birth to a royal heir for this palace. After she gives birth, this palace will have its own reward. Those who contribute to this palace will not be treated badly."

For her current status, this is just a trivial matter, and it's fine if she confesses.

But within two days, the empress sent someone to invite her to Woxia Tower to discuss something: "Your Majesty has rarely been to the harem in the past two years. Although it is mainly because of busy government affairs, I am thinking that maybe it is also because there has been no one in the palace for a long time. It’s because of the serious recruits. This palace plans to select a group of poor and good girls, what does the noble concubine think?”

Yun Fenghuang frowned and said: "Earlier, the empress dowager and the empress dowagers were recruited and selected by your majesty one after another. People, if it is passed on, it should not make people think that His Majesty is greedy and lustful, wouldn't it be a hindrance to the holy reputation?"

She sneered in her heart, knowing that this must be intentional by people like the queen.

Because of Xie Jian's death, as Xie Jian's biological daughter, everyone knew that she was related to Xie's family, but she was incompatible with her nominal father, Yun's family. Filial piety.

Although the status of a concubine is unusual, it is impossible to really wear sackcloth and filial piety, but at least during the nine-month mourning period as a going out woman, it is always necessary to prohibit meaty entertainment, silk, bamboo, play, clothes, and sex. The emperor took pity on her, even if he stayed at her place these days, he would be the concubine of the Xuanqing Palace, which was why the Wang family was able to be happy.

Those who hoped that she would fall out of favor would naturally not miss this opportunity.

Earlier, the harem was trapped by smallpox, and the foreign ministers presented ten beauties from the Xu family, big and small. Didn't the emperor just accept them?

Although he still loves Yun Fenghuang afterwards, at least he didn't reject the newcomer.

With such an example before, it is no wonder that the queen publicly proposed to add more people to the palace.

Of course Yun Fenghuang wanted to object, but she also knew in her heart that since the empress had directly spoken to her about this matter, she might not be able to object at all. Not only the empress, but all those who wish her to fall out of favor, even the empress dowager Yuan who is far away in Fuyang County, will not let go of such an excellent opportunity!

Sure enough, the queen couldn't say no to her. After thinking about it, she carried the Queen Mother Yuan out, saying that it was the Queen Mother Yuan who was in Fuyang County but still cared about the emperor. It’s not enough to approve only ten, and it was arranged by Concubine An, and now she is injured, so she didn’t have to spoil the emperor’s interest: "Empress Yuan’s meaning is that Concubine An is the daughter of Yuan’s family, and she hurt Your Majesty. Empress Yuan also felt uncomfortable with the people who served her. So she specially selected a group of young and good daughters from Fuyang County, and planned to send them over to serve His Majesty. So I thought, if this is the case, why don't we serve His Majesty as well? Otherwise, if it spreads out, it will be thought that we are jealous, and the matter of adding people will require Mother Yuan to come later!"

Yun Fenghuang glanced at the queen with a half-smile, the queen must be feeling very uncomfortable right now.

After all, it is the Ji family of the three generations of phoenix masters. When the niece and daughter presided over the Six Palaces, the aunt did not say that she saw the sky pointing fingers.

For example, when the common man Ji Sheng was still the empress dowager, Ji Lingzi mostly expressed his opinions when the empress of the Yuan Dynasty consulted with her. Usually, he seldom issued orders directly past the empress.

As a result, when I came to the Empress Dowager Yuan, I don’t know if it was because I was used to being depressed in the hands of the Ji family. The current queen Gu Zhen is not good at the emperor’s favor. The queen is pointing fingers.

This time, she took advantage of what Concubine An had done to add people to Chunjia, and when the news spread, the concubine Yun Fenghuang was fine, but the empress Gu Zhen, it was hard not to be suspected of not being tolerant.

Otherwise, the empress dowager, who is thousands of miles away, would need to worry about adding people to the palace?

"Since the empress has made up her mind, the concubine will naturally obey." Yun Fenghuang thought for a while, then said lightly, "It's just that the concubine came from a humble background, and now the family... I'm afraid there are no suitable candidates."

This is the truth, no matter how favored she is, she is only a concubine after all, and she can intervene in everything in the palace.

But things outside the palace... used to be dependent on brothers.

Now that the brothers have all gone back to observe their filial piety, some of the remaining servants in the house can pass a word and run errands, but the others really can't be counted on.

Therefore, Yun Fenghuang is very weak in such a matter of placing a concubine in the palace in an open and aboveboard manner.

Of course, she didn't want to suffer this loss for nothing, so she wondered whether she would give this opportunity to a certain concubine on her side for promotion, or to win something for Xie Meng and the others? Counting the days, these three girls will marry when they are filial piety. In the past, because there were many nieces and daughters, it was not unusual even if they grew up watching them.

Anyway, her status is here, even if her nephews and nieces were not single-handedly raised, they definitely didn't say they didn't want to get close to her.

But now any bit of Xie's bloodline is a darling, so it must be paid more attention to.

While thinking about it, he rushed into a palace servant outside, and said in panic: "You two ladies, Concubine Mu asked to see you, and said that something happened to Da Xu!"

Both the queen and the noble concubine were a little surprised, they looked at each other suspiciously, and exchanged a "did you do that?"

After a brief silence, the queen frowned and ordered: "Concubine Xuan Mu, come in!"

After a while, Concubine Mu wiped her eyes and went in, and just entered the hall, she knelt down firmly with a "plop". Your Majesty, just now cried and begged the queen to save Da Xu's family: "My concubine's fortune is poor. I served His Majesty once. I was lucky and happy, but I failed to give birth! Now the emperor's heir in Da Xu's womb is just like the child in my concubine's body." Come back to continue the fate of mother and child, please forgive me, give me a chance, don't let me break this fate again..."

The empress heard the veins twitching in her forehead, what are you talking about?

Bengong has never thought of you at all these days. What you said is beyond words, are you suspecting that Bengong has harmed Da Xu? !

I don't want to think about how many imperial heirs are in the palace today, just pull one out, no one is more important than the heirs in the womb of the Da Xu family, and this palace can accommodate it, let alone Da Xu's wife and son!

If Concubine Mu was not her own cousin and Concubine Gui was by her side, she really wanted to yell at her.

After taking a deep breath, the queen turned her head to look at the concubine, and said with a smirk: "Concubine Mu is probably confused... Concubine Mu is weak these days, it's better not to listen to these nonsense, and go to the front to have a cup of tea, I'm here Have a nice talk with her!"

Yun Fenghuang glanced at Concubine Mu, got up with a smile and said: "I just woke up on the fifteenth day when I came out. I promised to go back to play with him earlier, but I don't want to stay longer. How about I leave first and turn back to my mother?" If there are still orders, can I call my concubine again?"

The queen sent her away in a hurry so that she could settle accounts with the concubine Mu, and without any objection, she waved her off and let her go.

On the way back to Lanzhou Yeyu Pavilion, the Qing people curiously guessed: "Who murdered Da Xu? I heard that Concubine Mu meant to suspect the Queen, but even if the Queen doesn't like Concubine Mu, it seems that she would not do such a thing ?”

This is not only because of the Queen's character, not the kind of ruthless and merciless one who will retaliate; but also because of the Queen's situation, as long as she does not make mistakes, the Qingci Palace is basically stable, and there is no need to use it for a moment of anger, so as to ruin the great good future.

"What about their sisters?" Yun Fenghuang shook his head, and said indifferently, "It's not the queen, not the palace, and none of the other high-ranking people would specifically have trouble with Da Xu, but with Da Xu. The few newcomers in the palace are most suspected of jealousy... Even Concubine Mu herself wanted to leave her mother and keep her son, so the thief shouted to catch the thief, and left a story in advance to prevent the future emperor's heir from growing up and holding grudges and doubting her. It is not impossible .”

She murmured, "You said that this time the palace has been filled with new people, but the palace doesn't have any suitable candidates, but what conditions should we discuss?"

The Qing people hesitated to speak for a while, and finally said: "Your Majesty, don't be angry: the servant girl thinks that your Majesty may not have no suitable candidates. After all, although the Xie family has a small number of people this time, there must be one or two survivors from the distant branch. People? After all, our Xie clan has lived and thrived in Huizhou for many years. Although the main clan has lived in Huizhou for generations, it is not that there are no branches in other places. Besides, there are also the sisters of the empress, who have been out of the court for many years, and have children under their knees? In addition The Jiang family of the empress's natal family is not in Huizhou... If the empress does not want them to enter the palace, that's fine. If she really wants to cultivate some people, these own family members cannot be said to be loyal and sensible, but the maid feels that, How can it be more suitable and reliable than temporarily picking someone from outside?"
