Chapter 354 Newcomer, Second Princess
Sending off the envoy sent by Xie Wuzheng, Yun Fenghuang held the round fan in his hand and sighed long.
The eye circles of the Qing people and other close attendants were a little red, and they persuaded in a low voice: "Your Majesty, this is a good thing. It is because God has never cut off the blood of the ten sons."
"...If the heavens are really merciful, why didn't any of the tenth brothers and their sons survive?" Yun Fenghuang smiled wryly, "When I left Beidi, the eldest and second sons of the tenth brothers all went to school. Bengong remembers that they are all well-behaved, polite, sensible, and motivated children. The two younger brothers even fought with their cousins because of Bengong... At that time, they thought they would see each other every two years, but they didn't take it seriously. Who Do you know that it is Yong Jue?"
She still has feelings for the older nephews. After all, she watched them grow up, and after the incident of Xie Fenghuan came out, these nephews and nieces were very protective of their own aunts. Yun Fenghuang is not really hard-hearted, how can he not feel sorry for such a junior?
I haven't asked much about it in the past two years. One is that I am entangled in many things and I can't make a move; the second is that I feel that my nephews are still young, and now Xie Wuzheng and his group are still rushing about their future, and they haven't had enough energy yet. When cultivating the next generation.
Originally, I was thinking that these sons of the Xie family could not be treated badly, so let them study slowly, wait for two years, and then arrange to come to the imperial capital for a long-term experience, to see if they can become a disciple of a famous Confucian scholar, increase their qualifications and At the same time, it is also to win over a teacher... I have thought about it, but who knows that there will be no one left.
Even though Yun Fenghuang knew that what the Qing people said made sense, Xie Xishi left an illegitimate son who could inherit the blood, which was better than extinct male heirs.
Although according to her status, Xie Xiaoyu has many heirs in the future, and it is inevitable to adopt and establish heirs for her direct brothers, but the adoptive ones are no different from the parents and children in terms of etiquette, and they are two families after all in terms of blood.
The birth of the illegitimate child is no longer on the table, but it is always Xie Xishi's own. Presumably Xie Xishi can be used as a consolation under the nine springs?
... Anyway, now I can only comfort myself like this.
Yun Fenghuang couldn't help but sighed again: "It's just that brother twenty-one killed his biological mother, and I don't know if this child will feel resentful when he knows the truth when he grows up?"
"How is that possible?" the Qing people said hastily, "You just heard that his biological mother is not a good one! I have done a lot to torture the young master! This is also the fate of the young master, who was found by the son-in-law in time. I don't know how much I will suffer! Even if I am a biological mother, the mother is unkind, why does the little boy have to make his serious blood relatives sad because of her? The little boy is so old, it is unreasonable to start reading at this moment It's late. Where will you be ignorant in the future?"
"It's better not to be careless, who knows what that child thinks? It's not like there are no such pure and filial people." Yun Fenghuang sighed, "Although I am not a filial daughter, I can't guarantee that Brother Ten will have that blessing. A son of twenty-four filial piety! Let me tell you later, when the eighteenth sister-in-law is raising this child, pay more attention, and don't let him go astray!"
That being said, she wasn't too worried.
After all, whether she or Xie Wuzheng, if you can't even train a seven-year-old child, then don't bother.
But in the end I was not angry.
Like in the past, how could they care about such illegitimate children living outside the home?
After all, the serious nephews and nieces at home can't be loved, who will take care of the outside world?
In the end, it would be good, not only to take care of it, but also to prevent him from being ungrateful in the future!
After being silent for a while, she couldn't help but asked again, "Other brothers... are there any other brothers like this outside?"
The Qing people thought for a while, then hesitated and said: "Since the son-in-law found this child for the ten sons, he must have considered similar situations. When the servant girl was in front of the wife, she actually knew that there were several sons in the mansion. Although there are wives and concubines in the backyard, they are still a bit of an act outside... Although it is not possible for everyone to be like Shi Gongzi, causing Xie's blood to flow outside, but... of those many people, it is true that Shi Gongzi has flesh and blood outside. Impossible. However, since the son-in-law did not mention it, it must be uncertain. After all, the Xie family is now a poor man, and I know it. Now that I recognize my ancestors and return to the clan, it must be vigorously supported by the empress and the son-in-law Yes. The son-in-law has to be more cautious."
"That's true." Yun Fenghuang sighed, and said, "Let's not talk about it. Thinking of these things, I feel panicked. Back then, my sisters-in-law were not bad to me. They were all good people. My daughter, since entering the door, who has not been educated and educated? Why didn't their own flesh and blood stay behind, but the low-scum outside, unexpectedly got a blessing in disguise?"
"Your Majesty, don't think that way. You think that the little boy might be the child of Madam Shi, but because of a misunderstanding, he was reincarnated in the wrong place, so he returned to Madam Shi's lap after a few years?" the Qing people comforted. Said, "As for the low-bitch outside, isn't his mother already gone? It can be seen that he is unlucky and cannot afford such blessings."
In other words, Yun Fenghuang said that her mind was still hanging on the affairs of Fuyang County for the past two days, and she was about to call Chen Jing to come over to inquire about the details, but a palace official came to report first, saying: "Flower and Bird The emissary has returned, and is now reporting to the empress in Woxialou!"
"So fast?" The master and servant were stunned, and Yun Fenghuang immediately said, "It can be seen that they are all ready, the so-called dispatch of flower and bird envoys is just for show."
Let people prepare the chariot and go to Woxia Tower to listen to the report together.
When she passed by, a group of flower and bird envoys had already said something.
Seeing the imperial concubine coming, I have to tell her from the beginning... This story is actually not fancy, it is nothing more than that they went to the countryside to find a poor family with good morals and outstanding appearance under the order of the queen, and then a certain year, a certain month, a certain I found a candidate in a certain place, who was the last name, how was it, and so on.
Yun Fenghuang listened lazily, and then asked the queen: "This time, I don't know how the empress plans to arrange it?"
"I'm thinking about it. Your majesty cares about the country and doesn't miss the harem." Gu Zhen glanced at her and said slowly, "Since that's the case, there's no need to rush these newcomers after they arrive. It's better to live in Xiuzhuo Palace." Teach them, after they are sensible and know the rules, it will be safer to serve the imperial court again. In order not to be like Wen and the others before, their status has not been promoted much, and their hearts are more than one!"
Frowning again, he said, "It also prevents these people from being young and ignorant, and offending Concubine An and her like."
Yun Fenghuang said: "Your Majesty's good intentions are just that a girl's youth is fleeting, but it can't be too long, otherwise, I'm afraid it will make people's hearts fluctuate even more?"
Gu Zhen said: "That's the reason, I thought, it shouldn't be too much for them to learn the rules and etiquette for three months?"
In three months, how many rules those poor families can learn is not the most important thing.
The most important thing is to figure out the situation in the harem, and don't sit in the wrong place with arrogance.
Yun Fenghuang had no objection to this, so the concubine and concubine discussed a series of issues such as the status and residence of the newcomers.
As for the status, most of the newcomers must be the same as Yi Xingen's group, starting from picking girls.
Only a small number of people who are related to high positions and receive special care can be exceptions.
But the concubine's tacit understanding is that none of the newcomers is a concubine!
Even the one with the highest status is a beauty.
According to the rank of the harem, a beauty is a nobleman, a nobleman is Ronghua, Ronghua is a concubine, and a concubine is the lowest concubine, Jieyu.
This means that even if this beauty conceives and gives birth to a child soon after entering the palace, without extra grace, she can only stop at concubine.
After all, regardless of the empress or Yun Fenghuang, without Chunjia himself mentioning it, there was an ulterior motive in arranging this group of people to enter the palace, and it was not to find rivals for favor.
Even if Gu Zhen is basically unfavored now, she wouldn't say that she is in a rush to give the emperor a favor.
Not to mention that after the special case of Yunfenghuang was brought up, who would be a queen who didn't know how to prevent the next Yunfenghuang from appearing?
"Although the weather is still hot, the newcomers come from all over the world. They can't run back and forth with us. It's a toss and they don't know what to do." The queen finally said, "Why don't we let them go directly to Xiuzhuo Palace? The very young child has been confirmed by the accompanying imperial physician, so it must be fine."
Then he stopped talking.
Yun Fenghuang saw it, and asked: "Is there any order from your empress?"
"Not really." The queen thought for a while, and said, "I just remembered King Yi. Originally, according to the tacit agreement, His Majesty was only his brother, and he had to leave a few fertile concubines for him. However, King Yi and his wife have not yet come out. Filial piety is one, and the second is that this move will definitely displease Princess Yi...forget it."
Speaking of Gong Xiangxiao and his wife, Yun Fenghuang also casually said a few words: "They have been keeping their filial piety for some time, and they don't know how it is now? Two days ago, the King of Qin paid his respects to the concubine, and also mentioned the Marquis of Yongchun. Considering the age, Marquis Yongchun can also discuss marriage now? Even if he is still in the filial piety, the empress does have to think about it for him. Otherwise, if he talks about it after he is out of filial piety, there will be delays."
The queen said: "I think so too... It's just that there are so many things going on at present, but there is no suitable candidate."
She pondered for a while, euphemistically trying to see if Yun Fenghuang intended to take his niece wife Yongchunhou?
Yun Fenghuang directly shook his head and said: "I come from a humble background, and my niece and daughter are spoiled, how can I serve the Marquis of Yongchun? But I will disappoint my mother's kindness."
If nothing happened to Mrs. Xie, she might still consider which niece she likes more to be the wife of Marquis Yongchun.
But now, there are only a few nieces and daughters who are close by blood, and every marriage must be used wisely.
That Gong Xiangzhen seems to be of noble blood, but Yun Fenghuang knows very well in his heart that he is the son of the regent prince, no matter how friendly the emperor is to this cousin, it is impossible for the emperor to be unprepared. Responsive.
Following this Marquis, there will be no problem with prosperity and wealth in the future, and it is absolutely impossible to become a power.
Or, being in power will only die faster.
Yun Fenghuang doesn't have so many spare nieces now, how could he choose him?
The queen was obviously a little happy when she heard the words, and after confirming again and again that Yun Fenghuang was not interested in recruiting Gong Xiangzhen as his niece and son-in-law, she didn't hide it, and said with a smile: "I have a few clan sisters in this palace, but they are about the same age as the Marquis of Yongchun. I don't know if they are compatible..."
"What's the matter?" Yun Fenghuang asked with a half-smile, "The left and right women's schools are open, and there are not many people now... Why doesn't your empress arrange people into the women's school, and I will meet Hou Ye many times in the future, so I naturally know whether it is true or not. We hit it off."
After chatting about Marquis Yongchun's marriage for a while, Yun Fenghuang just resigned and left.
Back at Lanzhou Night Rain Pavilion, it is necessary to send someone to inquire about the situation of this group of newcomers.
Chen Jing arranged for a meeting, and said to her: "Mother, the newcomers are all born from poor families and good families. Occasionally, there are a few wealthy families who have limited resources... In terms of appearance and appearance, they are not good. There are also some. It’s just that the servants have heard that the most beautiful few are far away from the empress.”
"Why is the chief executive getting older and less able to speak?" Just as the voice fell, the Qing people next to him hurriedly scolded, "What are those screwdrivers, and they are worthy of comparison with our empress?"
Chen Jing knew she had made a slip of the tongue, and hurriedly admitted her mistake.
Yun Fenghuang didn't care about it, and said: "So it seems that this time, he is not as stunning as Yi Shi?"
Seeing Chen Jing nodded, she smiled, her eyes flickered for a moment, and she said calmly, "Let the girls in our family calm down and don't think about it too much. It's serious to learn the rules in Xiuzhuo Palace... What is going on in the palace?" No better than at home, even if I have Bengong here, but I am not a queen! Even if I am a queen, it is impossible to say that everything goes well. I know that no matter whether it is a girl from the distant branch of the Xie family or the Jiang family, there are some Delicate. It's no wonder that the one who beats up children as servants and servants has always been in a small place, so how could he not be a little arrogant? It's just that after entering the palace, what should be restrained, he also pretended to be restrained for me. Especially daughter Xie, do you understand?"
After all, the Xie family has nothing now, not even anyone.
As long as Yun Fenghuang still has hope in his brothers, it is impossible for the girls from the distant branch to ruin Xie's reputation.
Even she herself is pretending to be virtuous and virtuous right now, let alone other people?
"Your Majesty, don't worry, when the servant sent the message back, he repeatedly told him that the ones picked are all sensible." Chen Jing said hastily, "There is no such thing as a fool."
Yun Fenghuang nodded, because of her current status and power, there is actually no need to pay too much attention to this matter.
It is nothing more than out of blood relatives, as well as the guilt of the Xie family's destruction, and the desire for revenge, so I pay attention to it myself.
Otherwise, this kind of newcomers, if they are ignorant, they will be ignorant. If a group dies, then another group will be selected. What's the big deal?
At this moment, after some exhortations, seeing that Chen Jing had been very thoughtful, he praised Chen Jing a few words, remembered something, and asked, "After Rou Kun's aunt and nephew left, it seems that no one has taken over from the second princess and the sixth prince?"
Chen Jing hurriedly said: "It's true what the queen said! Before, the queen wanted to let the concubine De concubine take care of her, but the concubine de concubine insisted on not allowing it... Afterwards, there were many things, maybe the empress queen also forgot."
"..." Yun Fenghuang thought for a moment, then said, "The sixth prince is fine, the second princess..."
She pondered for a while, "The child's biological mother has a lot to do with this palace. Go and inquire about the child's temperament."
Before, she didn't think about these two children at all.
After all, Yun Fenghuang has no shortage of heirs now.
In addition to the biological prince, there are also three princes and one princess, why take over the two who are already a little old and know that she is not the heir of the mother?
But thinking about the future, thinking about the bloody enmity he bears, Yun Fenghuang can't help feeling that if he has one more child, even if the child doesn't live up to expectations, as long as he grows up alive, at least he can get married?
Even if the two children are short-lived and don't live to grow up, that's okay.
How could something happen to the blood of the Tian family for no reason?
Someone has to be responsible for this.
For example, her enemies and enemies.
And to be honest, although the children brought up by Qin Wang Zhaoqing from the ground, although their status in Yun Fenghuang's heart is not as good as that of his own King Jin, they are somewhat sincere in raising them so big.
If needed in the future, Yun Fenghuang may not be unable to make Yunfenghuang abandon them, or even deliberately plot them as pawns.
But I must feel bad.
But if it was the second prince and the sixth prince...
Then she will be at peace.
"Is Your Majesty planning to adopt the second princess?" The Qing people didn't know what she was thinking, and reminded them with some worry, "Although this Highness is young, he is very worried! Besides, His Highness Princess Zhaoqing... now there is only one princess Madam Cheng Huan, Your Highness has already caused troubles for His Highness the Seventh Prince and the Ninth Prince. If the Second Emperor comes to our side, I am afraid that His Highness Princess Zhaoqing will be the first to disagree?"
"Where is it the turn of a child to make decisions for this palace?" Yun Fenghuang said disapprovingly, "Just coax it. Moreover, if this palace adopts the second princess, it is a good thing to say to Zhao Qing."
Do you really think it's a good job to be Concubine Min's daughter?
She is no queen.
Besides, it's not like Gu Zhen was under pressure to sell his child.
"Anyway, let's check it out." The imperial concubine sighed softly, and said, "Check it out carefully, and find out her temperament and thinking...Let me weigh this child's ability. If she is up-to-date, why should I Wasting her talent?"
Chen Jing did not dare to be negligent after receiving the order, and came back within two days to report to the imperial concubine, saying that the second princess is very clever and intelligent.
Since Concubine Xian left, she and the sixth prince lost their mother and concubine's care, and their lives have plummeted, but they are also stumbling...
Under such circumstances, the sixth prince would only be patient, and became more and more silent.
However, the second emperor's daughter is not a good person when she is serious. Whenever the subordinates are negligent, they will make a scene and make a scene, threatening to find the father, the queen mother, and the concubines and concubines who are in charge to sue!
Because she is not the favored heir of the emperor, these days, the people in charge of the palace are very busy and have no time to ask.
The man in charge of the palace still wanted to take Qiao at first, so he euphemistically threatened her not to mess around.
As a result, the second princess didn't like this at all, and the palace steward's tone was a little harsher, so she held up the scissors to commit suicide, claiming that as the blood of the Gongxiang family, she would be angry with a slave, and she couldn't live through this day !
This kind of action is not something the palace people can bear. No matter how she is, she is also a golden branch and jade leaf. If it is really gone, the emperor will not personally intervene, but the empress will also take care of it.
When the time comes to find out the ins and outs, can the queen spare them?
Therefore, the people who served her did not dare to slack off at all, and even the second emperor's role was not too little.
On the other hand, the sixth prince who lived with her had a hard time.
Chen Jing's tone was weird: "But the second princess has no intention of helping the sixth prince, even..."
Yun Fenghuang narrowed his eyes slightly, and said in a low voice: "Even, are you taking the lead in bullying the sixth prince?"
Chen Jing smiled wryly and said: "Isn't it? The servants don't even understand, even if the second princess doesn't think that they are both degenerates in the world, she is very good with the sixth prince. After all, she is a half-brother, so why would she want to make trouble? ?”
