Chapter 162 Happy Pulse
When the empress dowager told the former imperial physician the news that the imperial concubine was ready to give birth, the sixth palace, no, it should be said that the front and back palaces were all shaken.
Now Yunfenghuang started pregnancy preparation in a grand manner, and even coquettishly asked Chunjia for a lot of precious medicinal materials. The intention of seeking a child is beyond words.
Of course, the front court and the harem cannot be peaceful.
It's one thing to know that the imperial concubine can give birth, but it's another thing to watch her prepare to go to war.
Not to mention Chunjia's connivance towards the noble concubine's actions. The gossip from the Taichu Palace said that there is no trace of the noble concubine's own flesh and blood. What a nice name.
... You know, among the emperor's heirs who have landed now, except for the few who are at the top, those who were born later have grown up without a name!
Like Concubine Xian's biological daughter, Gong Xiangxiu, she was chosen for Wei He's sake.
Concubine Shu and Concubine De in front of Concubine Xian, and Concubine Wen Huixian who was named Concubine Yin Yin, the biological princes or princesses under their knees are mostly called by the rankings even now!
Even if everyone knows that Chunjia prefers the imperial concubine, to such an extent, it's hard for a mother not to feel sad.
"Pay attention. Let's spread the word and beat some people. Don't let the king of Qin and Zhaoqing misunderstand me." Yun Fenghuang just smiled contemptuously at this, but told the left and right, "Say hello from the school, the emperor In the past, we were here to study, not to imitate some gossip women who muttered to the sky."
In fact, there was no need for Yun Fenghuang to talk about it at the school, Wei Changkong had already beaten it.
After all, everyone knows how difficult the imperial concubine is.
Normal people don't want to offend this person for the sake of quick talk.
"Your Majesty, don't worry, your servants are watching." After Chen Jing said this, he hesitated for a while, and then said, "It's just... If your Majesty is really pregnant, King Qin and His Highness Zhaoqing will know about it sooner or later. No, let Xueshi Wei tell the two highnesses about friendship and brotherhood in advance?"
Yun Fenghuang pondered for a while, and said: "Bachelor Wei was ordered by His Majesty to teach the emperor's heir. If His Majesty didn't order, we don't need to worry about it. The left and right palaces are not busy now, so we can talk to the two children in person when we have time." reason."
Let Wei Changkong teach, what if the two children are taught to be brothers and sisters to be friendly?
From Yun Fenghuang's point of view, King Qin and Zhaoqing only need to be friendly to the children under their knees, and at most add the flesh and blood of concubines from the same camp as Concubine De.
As for the other brothers and sisters, especially those in front of the queen, it's better not to get too close.
It's not just that she doesn't want Chunjia's beloved child to favor the queen mother and son, but also because she knows in her heart that she and the queen will have a battle sooner or later.
If the children of the two are too close, it will not be good for them then.
Although Yun Fenghuang definitely paid more attention to her own flesh and blood, but after all these years of raising her, she was able to keep the children from being sad, and she didn't want to torture them for nothing.
So after a few days, she asked the palace servants to "quietly" reveal to the two children: "These two highnesses go to school, and the lady is accompanying the seventh and ninth princes."
In the evening of that day, Qin Wang and Zhao Qing came to Yun Fenghuang to argue angrily: "Is it true that the concubine mother doesn't like my minister?"
Yun Fenghuang regretted this jealousy, he shouldn't have spoiled them too much before.
"My son, why did you say this suddenly?" She pulled out her veil calmly and wiped the faces of the two children, "Why are things running so fast? Look at the sweat on this face. Let your nurse Take it, go and wash it well, lest you catch a cold."
Zhaoqing didn't want to be diverted from the topic, pulled her sleeves, pouted: "Mother Concubine, Mother Concubine, tell me, now, do you not like Erchen, but the seventh younger brother and ninth younger brother?"
"Who told you all this nonsense?" Yun Fenghuang frowned and said, "You are the sharpest of the concubine mother, who else can I like if the concubine does not like you? As for your seventh and ninth younger brothers, of course the concubine mother also likes you I like it. But you said, from childhood to adulthood, did the concubine mother accompany you more or accompany them more?"
Those two children didn't remember anything earlier, and they didn't know whether they treated them well, so Yun Fenghuang naturally didn't bother to worry too much.
Qin Wang and Zhaoqing thought about it, indeed since the time they can remember, the mother and concubine have always been around the two of them, and only occasionally asked questions about the seventh and ninth princes, and only visited once every ten days and a half months.
In contrast, no matter what, I like them more.
But because of this, when they heard that when I left the Xuanqing Palace every day, the mother and concubine went to guard the two younger brothers, they were very angry and a little panicked: "But...but the mother and concubine are now accompanying the seventh brother and the ninth brother. There are more brothers!"
"But my concubine has nothing to do!" Yun Fenghuang looked at them aggrievedly, "Think about it, before you were by my side, it was enough for concubine mother to watch over you every day. But now that you have all entered school, concubine mother I can't go to lectures with you. Your father and emperor are busy with government affairs and don't come to the harem during the day. Then you say, what else can mother and concubine do besides taking care of your seventh and ninth brothers? Don't you have the heart to see mother and concubine alone in the In the palace, sitting under the west window from morning to night, looking at the Moon Cave Gate outside, watching you go back, and waiting to see you come back?"
At this age, the brothers and sisters still can't quite understand the feeling of loneliness. After hearing this and imagining it, they feel that it really is very boring.
After all, they are extremely lively, lively and noisy children.
Let them sit under the west window for a whole day without moving, it would be fatal.
So Zhaoqing's voice suddenly dropped eight degrees: "Then mother concubine can go to play too!"
"Mother Concubine can still handle palace affairs!" King Qin was smarter this time, and added, "Isn't Mother Concubine assisting the Sixth Palace? Mother Concubine is actually very busy."
Yun Fenghuang sighed: "Mother and concubine are at this age, how can they have fun? As for the palace affairs, you also know that this palace affairs should be handled by your mother. In the past, your mother was not a queen, Therefore, the mother concubine needs to worry more. Now that your mother is very good at it, she can see this huge palace. The mother concubine said that she is an assistant, but in fact there is not much to do. In this way, you go to school, and the mother concubine can Isn't there nothing to do?"
Zhaoqing listened pitifully, and couldn't help but said: "I won't go to school there, so I'll be with my concubine every day, okay?"
She thinks this is very good, so that the mother and concubine belong to her alone, and she doesn't have to share with her elder brother King Qin who is only a few months away!
"But that, let alone how the concubine mother will explain to your father." Yun Fenghuang said with a heavy expression, "Your father likes bright and talented children the most. If you don't go to school, you will be compared to your elder brothers and sisters. At that time, your father didn't like you anymore, what should you do?"
Zhaoqing froze immediately.
As I said before, her father, queen, mother and concubine are almost important in her mind.
So although it is important to win the exclusive favor of the mother and concubine, she does not want to lose the love of the emperor...
It's very difficult.
King Qin scratched his head for a moment, then suddenly said: "How about, my sister stays with my mother and concubine, and after my son-in-law learns his homework in class every day, he comes back to explain to his sister?"
Zhaoqing felt that this seemed to be okay, and was about to agree, when Yun Fenghuang said: "But if this is the case, don't you have to go to bed very late every day? What will you do with the riding and archery class then? And the second and third princes and the others It's about the same age as you, and if you are compared to them because of your lack of energy, then... how can the concubine mother forgive herself!"
Hearing this, Zhaoqing suddenly thought that if she went to school by herself, she would always enjoy the scenery by virtue of her occasional achievement of surpassing her elder brother.
If she doesn't go and just expect King Qin to come back to teach her, King Qin's homework is often not as good as hers!
It's even more difficult...
Yun Fenghuang saw their expressions in his eyes, but pretended not to know, and only pretended to be sad, regretting that the eldest son and daughter could not continue to be happy, and at the same time vetoing all kinds of solutions proposed by the children method.
In the end, Qin Wang and Zhaoqing were confused and admitted that all this was their fault.
Because they left their mother and concubine alone in the Xuanqing Palace for the sake of their own future and the favor of their father, it was extremely pitiful.
So Yun Fenghuang should be close to the Seventh Prince and Ninth Prince, that's what he should do!
"...Although there seems to be something wrong." After a long while, the brother and sister retired from Yun Fenghuang and returned to the side hall where they lived.
Qin Wang was not sure: "...Huh? Huh."
Then Yun Fenghuang asked someone to reveal to them in private some things about his closeness with the seventh prince and the ninth prince. Qin Wang and Zhaoqing reacted greatly at first, but after a few times of quarreling, they felt that they didn't care about it, and gradually they didn't understand. Learn your lesson and keep quiet.
It took only half a month after such a training, Yun Fenghuang's little life was postponed for five or six days, and the master and servant were very disturbed, wondering if it was an ordinary delay or not?
The result has not yet been determined, Yi Xingen gave birth first.
"Your Majesty, there's news that Yi Shi has already activated it and is now being sent to the delivery room." Chen Jing asked softly, "But I don't know what your Majesty ordered?"
Yun Fenghuang raised her eyebrows, to be honest, she had already thought about it before, there was something wrong with Yi Shi's origin, and maybe she didn't want to take Zhao Qing back, so it's better to get rid of it. But right now... the Qing people immediately objected: "This Yi Shi was just picked up by the empress with one hand, so what if I let her go for a few days? Could it be that I missed the present, and the empress will not be able to take care of her in the future?"
Then he looked at Yun Fenghuang and said in a low voice, "Your Majesty, at this critical time, it's better to be still than to move, what do you think?"
This extraordinary time, of course, does not mean that Yi Xingen is going to give birth, but that Yun Fenghuang is at a time when it seems to be happy but not sure.
Even the Qing people are not very kind, and they can't help it now, wanting the master to accumulate some virtue.
"I don't believe in such things as accumulating virtue." Yun Fenghuang glanced at the two confidants, and said calmly, "Since ancient times, it is not rare to kill people and set fire to gold belts, build bridges and pave roads without corpses? However, there is really no need to do anything to Yi Shi now. After all, I have my own flesh and blood, and it is she who should worry about it."
After all, the root cause of Zhaoqing being able to get Chunjia's favor is because she was raised in front of Yunfenghuang.
Otherwise, wouldn't the second emperor raised by Concubine Xian not be smart? Wasn't Concubine De's own third princess not good? Aren't the four princesses under Concubine Shu's knees cute? Why does Chunjia still hurt Zhaoqing the most? It was simply because he had seen Yunfenghuang many times, and this daughter was the only one he had watched grow up little by little with his own eyes.
Yun Fenghuang is willing to praise Zhaoqing because he has no children.
She has her own flesh and blood, how can she continue to give resources to such an adopted daughter whose real mother is still alive?
You must transfer it to your own children!
This is not only because you love your own flesh and blood more, but the most important thing is that Chunjia’s vivid example proves that no matter how hard you think about raising children, you can’t guarantee that other people’s flesh can be placed on your body until the last moment Come.
The lessons of the past and the present have always been, to give one's own heart and soul to the child born in October, although it is not that there are no unfilial sons and unfilial daughters, the probability is much lower than that of other families.
Yun Fenghuang pondered for a while, and asked the Qing people to go to Yishi's side to take a look: "You have seen how many concubines give birth with this palace, and you have experience, so go over there and take a look. There are many things going on in this palace now. , it won’t pass.”
She showed her attitude by not going by herself.
Not so much.
If someone took advantage of the situation to kill Yi Xingen, it would be Yi Xingen himself who was not blessed.
When Zhao Qing grows up, there is no reason to blame her.
The Qing people passed away, and came back half a day later to report that Yi Xingen gave birth to another little princess.
"There are many princes in the palace now, but she is destined to be a daughter." Yun Fenghuang nodded, "Let's reward according to the rules."
Her casual attitude, in the eyes of the concubines, means: "The concubine is really ruthless. Earlier, when Yi Shi gave birth to Princess Zhaoqing, she was still a concubine, but the concubine personally guarded the outside. As a result, the concubine now has all the emperors under her knees." Si, she can give birth herself, so she doesn't care much about Yishi. It's because she hasn't conceived yet, after she conceives, even King Qin and Princess Zhaoqing will fall out of favor."
When Yun Fenghuang heard these words, he immediately acted preemptively and cried to Chunjia, saying that he had a knot in his heart because of his heirs. After all these years, he was getting older and finally saw some hope. People just think about her like this, it's hard to live this day!
Chunjia was already very concerned about her grievances in this area, so she was very angry when she heard it, so she comforted her softly, then turned her head and asked Yan Yin to scold the queen, asking Gu Zhen what he was eating?
The noble concubine who is second only to the empress is so talked about in the palace, does she actually not care about it?
What do you want Nakamiya to do!
Now Gu Zhen is numb to Chunjia's partiality, and he only sighed when he heard the words, and said: "Is there such a thing? I didn't hear it at all. Don't you think too much about it? But since your majesty has spoken, then I will ask someone to investigate, if anyone is caught, they will definitely not be lenient!"
Then he randomly grabbed a few palace people he didn't like as a job.
Anyway, seeing the situation in the palace, they didn't dare to say anything, the imperial concubine was satisfied, so Chunjia didn't say anything.
Of course, this was all on the surface, secretly, everyone saw the status of the imperial concubine in the emperor's heart again, and felt that the current peace was only temporary.
Once the imperial concubine gives birth to an imperial heir, especially a prince, I'm afraid that Hurricane will only happen overnight.
The Queen's faction, of course, hoped from the bottom of their hearts that she would not be born.
But two days before the seventh emperor's full moon, Yun Fenghuang finally cut off his happy pulse.
