Chapter 68 Cousin

It didn't take long for Yun Fenghuang to write home letters, because she didn't talk too much, she just asked her family, did she try to urge the younger generations to make progress, or did she sue Chunjia herself, and drive everyone back to continue to be country gentry?

After all, she tried to get these brothers into official careers for her own future, not just to support them and clean up the mess for them!

How many favorite concubines in the previous dynasty were ruined, and the bottom line is that they did not do anything wicked, but were simply brought down by their natal family?

Yun Fenghuang is not used to these people in her family. When she was the Seventeenth Miss at home, her brothers and sisters-in-law let her go. Instead of saying that she became a noble concubine, she had to endure her brothers making trouble for her.

An ultimatum was given to the family, and Yun Fenghuang followed without delay, taking advantage of Chunjia's arrival, he spent some effort to make people happy, and took advantage of the situation to talk about Kunze's marriage.

So within a few days, the imperial decree from Princess Kunze to marry Jiang's son Jiang Zhui came down.

This caused an uproar for a while, because Jiang Zhuo really didn't care.

It's just the concubine's cousin. Since the concubine has a lot of Xie brothers who haven't taken care of her yet, no one really noticed him.

Even Jiang Zhu himself was flattered.

Because when Yun Fenghuang planned to choose a marriage between Xie Yanxiu and him to marry Kunze, the Xie family was dissatisfied and blocked the news without letting him know.

Following the imperial decree at this moment, there is a kind of surprise and surprise that the pie fell from the sky.

When he entered the palace to thank him, he couldn't hold it back. Regardless of his family's instructions, he asked Yun Fenghuang: "Why did my cousin tell me about the princess? After all, many cousins ​​of the Xie family are not yet married."

"What? Worried about something wrong with the princess, afraid that my cousin will cheat you?" Yun Fenghuang was still annoyed by his brothers' incompetence for the past two days, so he snorted coldly and asked angrily.

Jiang Zhu scratched his head in embarrassment, and laughed: "How is it possible? I just didn't expect my cousin to treat me so well."

Yun Fenghuang stretched out his fingers to touch his forehead, and said angrily: "There is no outsider at this moment, so I will say it frankly, although Xie and I have a family friendship, and helped the eldest brother's cousin to marry a princess, How can I be worthy of the whole family. When I was young, the Jiang family treated me well! You grew up with me, breaking the bones and tendons. I want to take care of Mrs. Xie, but it is impossible to ignore it completely How about my kinsman? I have earned my own status and love, and it has nothing to do with my family. I can take care of whoever I like, and who can argue with me?"

"Cousin..." Jiang Zhu was moved immediately. He had been obedient to Yun Fenghuang since he was a child, and he had been following this cousin to wave the flag and shout. It's just that since Yun Fenghuang entered the palace, his status has changed, and his father and brother have repeatedly emphasized that Xie's Today is not what it used to be, and if he gets closer to Yun Fenghuang rashly, he will definitely attract Xie's suspicion. This is not a good thing for the Jiang family, and it is only in the past two years that he has gradually become estranged from the seventeenth cousin.

Now that Yun Fenghuang said so, I feel that the life that has been separated for these years has disappeared, as if it is still the same as when I was in the Northland, chasing and playing all over the mountains and plains.

"Don't be too busy to thank me." Yun Fenghuang said with a straight face, "Don't think that marrying the princess is only good, let me tell you why this kind of golden branch and jade leaf can marry an ordinary child."

Jiang Zhu now felt that there was no quarrel between the two parties, so he became more courageous. Hearing the words, he leaned over and said with a smile: "Cousin, don't worry. If my background is not for my cousin's great help, I would be the princess of the royal family. Even the maid in front of the royal princess, that is not her turn. No matter what the rules of being a county horse, I promise to listen to you!"

This sounded quite comfortable, Yun Fenghuang smiled a little, slowed down his tone, and said: "There are no rules or irregularities, it's just that you accepted those fancy intestines... Although Guochao can't help the county to take concubines However, Your Majesty is just such a blood-related girl who was raised by His Majesty's birth mother, the Empress Dowager. Let me tell you the truth, the Princess Empress Dowager originally favored a noble son with outstanding looks and talents. Kind of. It took me a lot of effort to tell you about this marriage. In the end, I have to go to the Queen Mother to plead guilty! Therefore, if you treat the princess badly, your cousin and I will be the first to have nothing to do with the Queen Mother. Your Majesty, do you understand?"

Jiang Zhu felt very ashamed, and said: "Since this is the case, why not... I won't marry this princess? I can't ask my cousin to be wronged for me."

After hearing the words, Yun Fenghuang looked at him carefully for a while, and confirmed that he was really worried, and he didn't deliberately block himself with words, then continued with a cold snort: "Xie's side is my cousin, you are my cousin, I want to Back then, they took care of me in the same way. Remembering that the Xie family belonged to the father’s family, I told them about the eldest princess. When it’s the Jiang family’s turn, they can’t have nothing, right? I know about this, so you don’t have to worry about it. If you really feel sorry for me, you must have a good relationship with the princess in the future, and you are not allowed to do those things that are courteous!"

"Cousin, don't worry, I will definitely treat the princess well, even if the princess treats me badly, I will bear it." Jiang Zhu quickly assured her.

Yun Fenghuang was not moved when he heard it, because what Xie Wuzheng said was much more beautiful than him at the beginning, but now...how should I put it? This cousin's every move seems to be able to withstand scrutiny, but she always feels that she is not so straightforward.

...Of course, it may be that the brothers of the same mother are too bad, which makes her a little psychologically unbalanced in comparison.

After encouraging Jiang Zhui in this way and rewarding him with something, he sent him out of the palace.

As soon as Jiang Zhu left, the Qing people came up and said, "The thirteenth young lady handed over a post and wants to come into the palace to greet you."

"Is it for the princess's marriage? If that's the case, she won't have to come." Yun Fenghuang said lightly, "Everyone will only stare at the promotion of the palace, and don't look at what they are doing! Tell them Now, I don't expect my family to be able to win my spirit, I just hope that they don't do anything harmful to the heaven and reason, so that I will be impeached by the courtiers, thank God! If this is the case, there is no need to specifically promote my mother's family, but instead The lintel is lower, which can make the front and back palaces feel at ease, and it is also beneficial to this palace. Therefore, the marriage of Princess Kunze should be regarded as my gratitude to the Jiang family for their care. Go back to the North with Ben Gong!"

These words reached the ears of Xie Xiliu and the others, all the disgruntled people looked at each other in blank dismay, unable to make a sound.

After a while, someone said timidly: "Your Majesty... you just lost one chance, and besides, didn't you get selected on Twenty-One? Although they are not brothers from Sifang, they are all surnamed Xie anyway, and you didn't completely embarrass your Majesty, did you?" ?”

"Your Majesty is very pleased. If you can help me this time, of course there will be a next time." Xie Xiliu said in shame, "It's just that our behavior this time was too much for Meng Lang, which really disappointed Madam. Now Madam is disheartened, let's talk about it." It’s all our fault to go.”

When he said this, he was actually not very convinced, because before Chen Jing was ordered to come by the imperial concubine, he had to tell the truth after repeated questioning, but the imperial concubine turned around and sold it to Xiao Chen, and let Xiao Chen Shi casually.

Then Xiao Chen was not polite, and took someone to tie up his good friend, tortured him to death in front of Xie Xiliu, and finally gave him two slaps, let him have a long memory, and then for the sake of The mess outside ruined her own future and her mother's entrustment, so she directly sued her in-laws!

Xie Xiliu felt wronged, mainly because he was afraid of his mother and sister, and dared not say anything, but in private, he felt that Yun Fenghuang's actions were too disrespectful to brother and sister, and Xiao Chen's was too aggressive and vicious.

But his mouth was still guarded, and he said, "When the city was full of wind and rain, you blindly urged the mother to be sent out of the house quickly. Later, the mother came to the imperial capital to live under the fence for three years. , who sent someone over to ask her? Even so, when Princess Sui'an got married, the empress thought of you regardless of the past."

"Now the empress is sad. After saying such a thing, our fourth room didn't say anything. Why are you muttering here?"

"Brother Thirteen misunderstood." Hearing this, the people in the other rooms were very embarrassed, and said, "Where do we dare to speak of the empress? We are also worried about the empress, fearing that the empress will become cold-hearted, and the same family will be divided."

Xie Xiliu snorted and said: "If you are really worried about your empress, why not think about how to cultivate your moral character and strive to be stronger, so that you can teach your empress to look at you with admiration."

He groaned in his heart, finally survived the cold window and studied hard, and became an official, with his direct sister as his backer, and he didn't think about any nonsense, just thinking about letting go occasionally, why is it like that Coincidentally, are you in a hurry?

Now that the brothers have been persuaded to work hard, can he, the eldest brother of the imperial concubine, not take the lead?

Thinking back to the days before the scientific examination, it was really dark...

Yun Fenghuang naturally doesn't know Xie Xiliu's pain now, and she made Kunze and Jiang Zhuo's marriage purely for balance.

Mrs. Xie is now starting to fight among herself. Apart from being short-sighted and not worrying about being few and not being equal, she just knows that she has a bad relationship with Mr. Yun. They could only count on Mrs. Xie... She told them with practical actions that she could still choose Mrs. Jiang.

In the future, she will support whoever makes her satisfied, whoever makes her happy, whoever makes her feel promising.

What father's family is not father's family, her surname is Yun now!

Let's look at those brothers and sisters-in-law, are you still interested in continuing to plot and sue each other?

It's just that Kunze's promise to Jiang Zhui, for Yu Yunfenghuang, not only supported the Jiang family, but also balanced the power of his mother clan, and once again proved how favored he is. For Queen Mother Qu, Not so happy.

Empress Dowager Qu, who has been cultivating herself for a period of time, specially called her to Jiashan Palace to reason: "Ai's family comes from a humble background, and there is only such a princess under her knees. Do you have the heart to marry her to an ordinary family?"

"What did you say?" Yun Fenghuang said softly, "Jiang Zhui is the candidate that His Majesty personally nodded. Could it be that His Majesty can wrong the Princess? Besides, if the Empress Dowager really loves the Princess, as long as Jiang Zhuo If you are good to the princess, I think you can rest assured; if you have other hopes for the marriage of the princess, is the concubine no better than Yun? You also know that Yun is loyal to His Majesty, but because she is too loyal, even if You are the Queen Mother, but you may not be able to command them, what do you think?"

Empress Dowager Qu was silent for a while, she actually acquiesced in saying this, she only said slowly: "But you are just a noble concubine now, what can you do?"

... When Yun Fenghuang returned to Huanhua Palace from Jiashan Palace that day, Chunjia had already been here for a while, watching King Qin and Princess Zhaoqing playing in front of him, with a smile on his lips, very loving.

Seeing the imperial concubine coming back, she immediately waved her hands to ask the two heirs to be carried down, and asked with a smile, "Why do you suddenly remember to go to Empress Qu's place?"

"Where is it that I want to disturb the Queen Mother?" Yun Fenghuang asked someone to untie the cloak, and said, "Isn't it because of Kunze's marriage that the Queen Mother was a little annoyed, so she summoned me to question her?"

Chunjia knew it well, Wen Yan said a few words of comfort, and then asked her what the queen mother said?

Yun Fenghuang said: "The empress dowager is not very satisfied, what can I do? I can only push it all on your head, I said that you personally appraised this marriage, if it is not good, you can still do it." Did you treat Princess Kunze badly? The empress dowager didn't say anything after that."

"Today I used you as a shield again." Chunjia sighed with a smile, "Forget it, it's good that this matter can be settled like this."

"Even so, I'm really upset when I see the Queen Mother." Yun Fenghuang took advantage of the situation and said, "Why don't you give Princess Kunze more dowry to appease you. After all, the princess was raised by the Queen Mother alone. , how could the empress dowager not think about it once she leaves the pavilion?"

Chunjia knew that she was actually taking advantage of the situation to seek benefits for her cousin, but he never cared much about such things, so he smiled and agreed.

Yun Fenghuang then stopped mentioning this, and instead talked about Princess Yun'an's pregnancy: "Considering that she will give birth at the end of the year, the Princess's house must have preparations, even the General Hussars will definitely take care of it. But we in the palace can't just say nothing, if you don't know, you think you don't value Her Royal Highness the Eldest Princess!"

In fact, after the golden branches and jade leaves fell, and the birth mother was there, she would naturally send someone to inquire.

Under normal circumstances, it is only after receiving the news that they take action.

But Chunjia, as the heir, had to put on an attitude that he valued the flesh and blood of the late emperor, so naturally he had to be very careful about this matter.

Thinking about it for a while now, let Yun Fenghuang prepare the imperial physician in advance, and send him to sit in the town at that time, to show the importance he attaches to Yun An.

After talking about some trivial matters in this way, the two settled down.

The next morning when Chunjia went to the court, Yun Fenghuang got up one step later and was dressing up. Zhu E came in with a complicated expression and said, "Madam, Xu Baolin from the side hall said yesterday that he was unwell, because His Majesty was there at that time, and the servant girl was afraid." Excuse me, I decided to ask someone to hire a doctor girl for her, and the doctor girl said that she seemed to be a happy pulse. Do you see this?"

"Then let the imperial doctor look at it again." Yun Fenghuang was stunned for a moment, and then said indifferently, "If you really have it, then take care of it according to the rules, so that she can have a safe pregnancy and give birth to a healthy emperor's heir. .”

Now she has raised three imperial heirs, but only Zhaoqing is under her name.

So I really want a prince in my own name.

Of course, if the Xu family still gave birth to a princess, then... that's okay, let's raise her together, maybe after more than ten years, it will be cheaper for her nephews.

After explaining the matter, she also went to Chongchang Hall to pay her respects.

As a result, when he arrived in the palace, he saw Concubine Shu's seat was empty, Yun Fenghuang raised his eyebrows, and asked the empress who was able to take the seat: "This is Concubine Shu?"

"Someone came here just now, and it was said that she felt a little unwell." The queen sighed, "It was said that she had a nightmare last night. Alas, I have ordered the imperial physician to go and have a look, but I hope there is nothing serious."

Gu Zhen felt a little annoyed, if Chunjia's knees were still empty, it would be a loss for everyone to have a pregnant concubine, now the emperor's children add up to ten, although Concubine Shu's status is not low, this child was born Could there be anything special?

Why can't you be too peaceful?
