Chapter 9: The Death of the Concubine (I)
"Niangniang, the eldest prince was named by His Majesty after a few days after he landed, and it has only been a few days since the little prince was born? How can you go beyond your elder brother? Yun Fenghuang explained to Empress Dowager Yuan like this, "Moreover, the concubine is the mother of the little princess, but she is not the mother of the little princess, but she is just raising the little prince on behalf of the sister of the concubine." Therefore, the name of the little prince should be referred to by the Duke and his wife on behalf of the concubine. It's just that it hasn't come to the day for the wife to enter the palace to ask for peace, so it has dragged on. ”
Empress Dowager Yuan said lightly: "I see, the mourning family thinks that you are not so unruly, how can you act so recklessly?" ”
He also said, "It's just that the emperor's knees are empty, and now it's easy to get a son and a daughter, and you may not be unwilling to give the name in person, you hurriedly gave the granddaughter of the mourning family a milk name, and passed it out, I don't know, I think the emperor doesn't have this plan." ”
Yun Fenghuang hurriedly admitted his mistake: "It's the concubine's inconsiderate body." ”
"It's not a big deal." Empress Dowager Yuan slowed down her tone, "Since it's clear, that's it." ”
Then he didn't say anything else, waved his hand and let them disperse.
On the way back, Shun Jieyu caught up with the real concubine's honor guard and pleaded guilty, saying that she had no way to do it, and asked someone to go to the Chunyu Palace to stir up nonsense, and several palace people from Tongxia Palace privately reported to the waiters of the Chunyu Palace, and turned it to the Empress Dowager Yuan.
"Didn't the Queen Mother say it, just make it clear." Yun Fenghuan stopped walking, but he didn't land, just sat in the middle of the chariot, condescendingly watching her kneel on the ground with a big belly and an embarrassed face, and after a while, he slowly laughed, "Qingman, what do you want?" You and my sister, are you afraid that I will misunderstand you? Don't say it's not what you meant, even if it is your meaning, what else can I do to you? ”
The tone of her voice was very gentle, but Shun Jieyu couldn't help but tremble, and then she trembled and said: "Niangniang, the concubine body doesn't mean this, the concubine body is just ......"
"Alright." Yun Fenghuang was too lazy to talk to her, "I still have to go back to take care of the little prince and little princess, don't think about it so much, so that you can give birth to a strong imperial heir for Your Majesty, huh?" ”
The honor guard of the real concubine was so far away that it was almost invisible, so Shun Jieyu got up with the support of the palace maid Miaofang.
"Niangniang endure it a little longer, and when the imperial heir lands, regardless of men and women, you also have something to rely on, and you don't have to rely on Concubine Zhen in the future." Miao Fang sighed and whispered comfort, "As for the rest, we don't care, huh?" ”
Shun Jieyu bit her lip and didn't make a sound, but slowly got on the chariot that stopped next to her and said, "Go back." ”
"These individuals left behind by Concubine Shu really have some skills." Back in the Huanhua Palace, Yun Fenghuang smiled and said to Chen Zhu and the other attendants, "You can also poke the news to the Chunyu Palace...... It's really not in vain that Concubine Shu has been in the palace all these years. ”
Chen Zhu said: "Niangniang, this time the people who reported to the Chunyu Palace, the slaves and maids have written it down, do you want to ......?"
He gestured sharply.
"I don't need to." Yun Fenghuang said nonchalantly, "Everyone knows that such a little thing can't help the palace, they are nothing more than love the house and Wu, because the little prince is recorded in the name of the concubine, and they are worried that they will be raised under the knees of the palace with the little princess, and they will be treated badly by the palace." Therefore, with the help of the Queen Mother, she knocked on the palace, so that the palace would not dare to ignore the little prince in the future...... However, since they did so, it can be seen that the little prince should be their young master. ”
But isn't the little prince still young, so he can't call the people left by his mother?
It doesn't matter, she, the adoptive mother, can do it for you.
Yun Fenghuang sneered and ordered Chen Zhu, "You stare at those few first, and see if you can touch the melon along the vine." If you can't, it's nothing, let's
They will do errands for the little prince with their hearts in the future. ”
Chen Zhu knew how to go, but within two days, he brought an older palace maid over to ask Yun Fenghuan for peace.
said that it was the person who stayed behind at the beginning of Concubine Shu, and she thought clearly about coming to surrender.
"What is Toucheng?" Yun Fenghuang said indifferently, "Concubine Shu's people should be given to the little prince, it is difficult to be an adult in this palace, and she is the adoptive mother and aunt of the little prince, can you still rob the little prince's things?" Let her go back, just tell her one thing: Although the little prince is young, he can't control them eating inside and out, and the palace can't rub sand in the eyes of the palace! If you dare to do something unfavorable to the little prince, this palace will skin them! ”
The meaning of these words is that she is sent to send these people, but she is not responsible for the crime......
And although these people are still in Tongxia Palace, they can only recognize the little prince as the master, and Shun Jieyu's mother and son are not counted......
As for what these people left behind by Concubine Shu would think, Yun Fenghuang didn't care.
To put it mildly, since Concubine Shu went, there were not many choices for them, such as the queen and the like, it is impossible to use them sincerely, even if they don't doubt their loyalty, but they are from famous families, and there are many marriages, and there is no shortage of manpower at all, will they let their own people make room for them?
The best choice is actually to return to Concubine Shu's sisters in the palace, and they don't need to change their courts.
But Concubine Shu's own sister Yun Qingman was still in the hands of Yun Fenghuang at the time, and Yun Fenglian, a cheap sister, was suspected of forcing Concubine Shu to death, they couldn't choose the former, and they were not willing to take refuge in the latter because of their loyalty...... So after delaying and delaying, it can be regarded as Yun Qingman's promotion to Jieyu's self-reliance, and they found something to do.
But it didn't take long for Yun Feng Huang to come to an operation to ask for an heir for Concubine Shu, so Yun Feng Huang didn't need to check to know that there would inevitably be a split among the people left by Concubine Shu: should you follow this young master, or continue to assist Shun Jieyu?
Although the young master is still in the hands of Yun Fenghuang, this is the actual eldest son of the emperor!
The middle palace is not interested, nothing has come out so far, it will be abandoned in the future, and whether there will be a son-in-law in the future, that is still a very distant thing.
According to common sense, Chunjia has been empty on his knees for almost ten years on the throne, and now that he has a son, even if he doesn't care about it, he may not care in his heart...... Maybe people who are loyal to Concubine Shu are unwilling to switch to Xuanqing Palace, even for the sake of the little prince, but Concubine Shu has been gone for more than half a year, and there are always some people who want to plan for their future, right?
Yun Fenghuan is not greedy, Concubine Shu has served the emperor for eight years, and her position is high and skillful, so she can get one or two top people, she earns it.
She didn't give anything at all, anyway.
"Count the days, the eldest prince has already been given the name by His Majesty at this time." After sending the people from Concubine Shu's side, Yun Fenghuang held the tea bowl and pondered, "And the meaning of the Queen Mother's words, the name of the prince and the princess, or give priority to asking Your Majesty to give the name, if Your Majesty comes over later, the palace should still mention it to Your Majesty." ”
Originally, Chunjia went to the Huanhua Hall many times, even if there was a newcomer to share the favor, Yun Fenghuang could see him three or two times in ten days.
Since the prince and the princess landed one after another, he has come more frequently.
Externally, it is to enjoy the joy of family, in fact, Chunjia is not very interested in this pair of children, don't talk about the little prince, the cuteness that has not yet transformed, Chunjia just looks at it casually every time and let it go; Because the little princess looks good, he still looks at it for a while, but he doesn't mean to love it a lot.
It's just to tell the palace people to take care of it.
Back to the roots
In the end, it's still a lot with Yun Fenghuan.
Yun Fenghuang speculated that his attitude towards these children was not pretending, at least not all of them, he really didn't care so much about this pair of princes and princesses who were considered very precious in the harem of the previous dynasty and the harem.
"The Empress Dowager misunderstood me!" Yun Fenghuang didn't know that Chunjia didn't care much about the heir, but because the biological mother of the imperial heir was from a humble background, Chunjia was influenced by the Empress Dowager Yuan, and looked down on the children born to low-level palace concubines, so she was quite annoyed, and secretly muttered to Qing Ren and other close attendants, "In order to keep Your Majesty from getting close to the Queen Mother, Your Majesty is not even close to the eldest son and eldest daughter!" ”
Qingren and the others were also very worried when they saw Chunjia's attitude, and made a plan: "The prince and the princess are still young, and when they grow up, they will be able to run, and the mother will teach them to take the initiative to make love to His Majesty...... In the end, the flesh and blood of the own child, and the princess and the princess are good, after a long time, even if His Majesty dislikes the birth mother Hanwei, for the sake of the mother's teaching, he will not dislike it. ”
"That's all it can be." Yun Fenghuang sighed, "Count the days, the palace is also fast, Shun Jieyu and Yijia Palace, that is, the second half of the year...... In the past, the Ji family presided over the palace, and the imperial heir withered, but this will not be the case in the future, and His Majesty will not lack the prince and princess under his knees. ”
Therefore, the advantage of the eldest son and eldest daughter of the emperor is actually not very big.
On the basis that the emperor is not very distressed about these two children, let alone the advantage or not, at most, when competing for the crown in the future, the eldest son of the emperor may be a bargaining chip.
But Yun Fenghuan himself didn't plan to support this cheap son to get there......
She had a headache for a while, and asked people to take the two children to her and care for them for a while, before she was about to send them away, and Chunjia came.
Yun Fenghuang just called him to watch the children together, Chunjia looked at them with a smile, and said, "I see that they seem to have grown up." ”
"Children here are not the same every day." Yun Fenghuang said with a smile, "It's also a concubine, thinking that the little princess is under the name of the concubine, so I took it upon myself to give a milk name, but after all, the little prince is my sister's child, and the concubine thought that it was a milk name and should be discussed with the Yiguo Mansion, but I forgot to ask Your Majesty to give her a name...... Please also ask Your Majesty not to worry about the concubine. ”
Chunjia didn't care and said: "I still think it's a matter of what, it's just a milk name, and it's right that you want the Duke of Yiguo and his wife to name the little prince." Concubine Shu has been with me for many years, and she died early, and I feel quite guilty. Since this child is recorded in the name of Concubine Shu, let the Yiguo Mansion worry more, and the Yiguo Gong is also comforted...... In this way, the name was also taken by the Duke of Yiguo, and it was said that it was my thoughts and my love for Concubine Shu. ”
Yun Fenghuang agreed gently and gently, and promised that when the Duchess of Yiguo entered the palace in two days, he would tell them truthfully and let them know the emperor's favor.
But when the evening came, when the two entered the inner room, she sneered: "Your Majesty thinks of Concubine Shu like this, but you don't know what to do with the concubine so often?" The concubine is strange in her body and mind. After all, how many people in the palace feel that Sister Shufei was forced to death by a concubine? ”
"I knew you were going to knock over the vinegar jar again." Chunjia was not surprised by her face-turning, she didn't raise her eyelids, and said with a smile, "Isn't this matter already decided, and it has nothing to do with you?" What do you have to do with yourself? ”
Yun Fenghuang snorted: "Is this a concubine who has to be involved with herself?" What was the discussion on the side of the palace at the beginning, Your Majesty still doesn't know? ”
Chunjia looked at her and smiled slightly, and said, "Usually so smart, why are you confused at this time?" Do you really think that the death of the concubine has anything to do with you? ”
“?” Yun Fenghuang was stunned and said, "...... that concubine?" ”
