Chapter One Hundred and Sixty Seven

"Your Majesty looks much better today." The second concubine stayed behind under the envious and jealous eyes of the concubines, and when everyone left, Princess Kunze also said, "My child will go back to accompany the mother", and she left, and then Stepping forward, one left and one right supported the Empress Dowager Yuan who got up, and flattered her with a smile, "Look at Da'an."

Empress Dowager Yuan said with a smile: "It's also thanks to you who often come to accompany Ai's family. You stood in front of Ai's family like a flower bone. When Ai's family looked at it, your heart brightened. Wouldn't it be better soon?"

Yun Fenghuang said in his heart that you are recovering so quickly, most likely because people are in good spirits on happy occasions, there is no longer the empress dowager and the empress dowager Ji, the largest in the harem, the emperor of the previous dynasty is very filial to him... Who would you change? , in such a situation, can you not feel comfortable and recover quickly?

"The empress dowager is absurdly praised. How can I dare to be an empress to praise the posture of the willows?" Wei Hengyan said, "The empress dowager is like a spring flower, graceful and luxurious, just like a peony in spring, and the concubine can't match it!"

She was talking nonsense with her eyes open. Although the Empress Dowager Yuan's beauty was stronger than that of her niece Yuan Niangniang, it was beyond the limit. Of the three surnames Yuan in the harem, it was Yuan Cistanniang who was the lowest and the best born.

But that must be the credit of Yuan Yuniang's biological mother.

The daughters of the Yuan family's two generations of concubine, even ordinary people can say a few words of beauty and cuteness, but compared with the beauties in the palace, they are not ugly at best.

But Empress Dowager Yuan laughed when she heard that, and said that Wei Hengyan "could talk nonsense to coax the mourning family", but she was full of joy on her face, obviously she felt that the words hit her ears.

After enjoying the flattery of the second concubine for a while, she thought about the business, and waved her hand to make all the servants except Zhanliu retreat. Fang held Yun Fenghuang's hand, and said softly: "Do you know what the Ai family suddenly arranged for Kunming?" Is Ze helping you?"

"Didn't the empress just say that?" Yun Fenghuang said with a look of surprise, "The princess is getting old, and it's time to learn something. When I was at home, at the age of eleven or twelve, I was also started to be taken care of by my mother and sister-in-law. I’m giving it a lesson with the host.”

She had a face of "Your Majesty said so, I believe so, I didn't think much about it", Wei Hengyan next to her nodded in agreement, watching them want to put the words "innocent" on their faces The smile on the corner of Empress Dowager Yuan's mouth deepened, and she said: "Although there are intentions in this regard, after all, the emperor is just such a biological sister... Of course, Aijia does not mean that Hui and the others will not be close to the emperor, but those few They are the flesh and blood of His Majesty Xiaozong, although the Ai family and the emperor are reluctant to part with them, they dare not keep them by their side."

"Otherwise, people outside would think that Aijia and Huang'er intentionally missed the princesses' blooming season!"

"But Kunze is still young, and she is not a princess. The Ai family has already discussed with Sister Qu and Huang'er that they plan to keep her for a few more years."

"Originally, this child has always been well-behaved, and there is nothing to worry about."

"But I'm in the palace this year. I don't know who it is. I told her something in private... Aijia thought, it's rare for this child to make a request. If Aijia refuses it straight away, I'm afraid it will hurt the child. Let her mix some things and learn something, so she has a good vision, maybe she doesn't need to worry about Aijia, she can figure it out on her own."

Speaking of this, she patted Yun Fenghuang's arm again, "So, take her well and teach her more, okay?"

"Your Majesty, don't worry, I will definitely do my best." Yun Fenghuang breathed a sigh of relief, and smiled more sincerely, "The princess is smart, I think after a while, I will understand your empress' painstaking efforts!"

The Empress Dowager Yuan was very satisfied, so she kept them for lunch and talked for a while, because she knew that the Empress Dowager was in poor spirits after she fell ill and had to take a nap in the afternoon, so the second concubine took a chance and left.

After leaving the Spring Palace, Wei Hengyan followed Yun Fenghuang to the Xuanqing Palace.

The two said some unimportant things on the way, and when they arrived at the Huanhua Hall, they cleared the scene and talked alone.

"Sister, are you telling the truth about what the Empress Dowager said today?" Wei Hengyan asked curiously, "Princess Kunze usually doesn't attract much attention in the palace, and I really don't know who made the decision. On her head, did the empress dowager find out?"

Yun Fenghuang smiled, and said: "Who else could it be? The queen mother said in public just now that the Princess of Kunze should follow the queen and Bengong to learn more. Bengong has nothing to do with the princess, so of course it is Queen."

"Empress?" Wei Hengyan was stunned, and said, "Empress Empress... What is she looking for Princess Kunze for? This princess doesn't care about anything, and the Empress Dowager who raised her is even more reclusive. Could it be that, She wants the Empress Dowager Tuoqu to intercede?"

"Shouldn't be so confused." Yun Fenghuang shook his head and said, "Empress Dowager Qu has no friendship with Ji Shi, but she is His Majesty's biological mother after all. You said that between His Majesty and Ji Shi, she might favor Ji Shi? Gong guessed that 80% of the queen was going for Princess Kunze herself!"

Wei Hengyan was startled: "Aiming at the princess herself...could it be because of the marriage of the princess?! She really dares to think!"

"That's about it." Yun Fenghuang laughed and said, "The empress has a good idea! If the princess can be persuaded to ask to marry Ji's son, even if the Ji family will not be as rich as before, they will still be able to survive. In the end The princess is not only His Majesty's only sister by blood, but His Majesty always has to consider Queen Mother Qu's thoughts."

"It's just that the queen probably didn't expect that the Kunze princess couldn't help things when she was young, so she turned around and showed her flaws to the loving mother, the empress dowager!"

"Now it's all right, the loving mother empress dowager didn't show her cards, and directly sent the princess to follow the queen and my palace to 'study'. In the future, if the princess continues to think about marrying Ji's son... At that time, no matter whether it is the loving mother The queen mother is still your majesty, but there are many reasons to attack the Ji family: the queen mother arranged for the princess to follow the queen to learn from Derong Industrial Bank and preside over all kinds of donations, but she learned to learn, and the princess who had nothing to do with Ji's son originally thought about it. Speaking of Ji's children, who else is playing tricks?"

Originally, Empress Ji secretly talked about Princess Kunze. After the Empress Dowager Yuan found out, if it was revealed, the Empress would be very embarrassed, but she could not do anything with the Empress or the Ji family.

After all, Empress Ji is not stupid, it is impossible to fall into the trap.

When Queen Mother Yuan wanted to confront her, she could have pushed 265, saying that she didn't mean that, and that the princess had misunderstood it.

Even after scaring the snake this time, Empress Ji will continue to tease Princess Kunze next time, and her methods will inevitably be more subtle.

But now Empress Dowager Yuan put Kunze Princess by her side in a fair and honest manner...

Empress Ji was in a dilemma instead: continue to persuade the princess to marry into the Ji family, that is to send her and the Ji family to the mother and son of the Queen Mother Yuan; And maybe blame her in turn.

I don't know what the queen will do then?

Yun Fenghuang curled his lips, looking forward to the queen's next response.

If she is smart enough, she has to learn a little bit.

Maybe she won't be favored by Empress Dowager Yuan in the future, can she use it?

"But sister, how did the Queen persuade Princess Kunze?" Wei Hengyan was a little puzzled, "To be honest, the two generations of Ji's children are indeed outstanding, but they are all old and have complete wives and concubines. There are many heirs under your knees, it is impossible to let such a person He Lilai marry the Princess?"

As for the young one, Ji Minggan is more known in the palace, but not to mention that this person was rumored to have lived in the same room with Princess Jinyun's lonely man and widow for one night. Since Chunjia has made it clear that he won't let him be the lord, is it possible that she will give him the princess's own sister?

And Kunze is also this old. He should know that his elder brother Chunjia has all the glory and wealth in his life, but why should he offend the emperor and his aunt for the sake of other Ji's children whom he has never met?

Yun Fenghuang smiled, with a subtle expression on his face, and said, "What's so difficult about this? You think, although the Princess of Kunze County is His Majesty's only biological sister, the three princesses above are there, even if they are not from the same father as His Majesty." However, logically, His Majesty inherits Xiaozong, so he should regard the three princesses as his own sisters, and his relationship with the Kunze County Lord will be farther away!"

"Furthermore, the three princesses entrusted their body to the late emperor, and they will be treated in the future. If Princess Kunze is to compare with you, what do you think people in the world will think?"

It must be that Chunjia has no conscience, inherited Xiaozong's throne, but still turned to his biological father - Wei Hengyan thought so, and understood a little bit: "But if Princess Kunze married Ji's son, There is a relationship between the empress dowager, the empress dowager, the empress dowager, and even the empress, so it’s okay for your Majesty to take care of her, and if it spreads, everyone will only say that it is an act of filial piety for your majesty to treat your aunt’s family well... But is your majesty willing to treat Ji’s family favorably?"

Yun Fenghuang said: "I will not say whether your Majesty is willing or not, but you and I both understand that His Majesty wants to decide the marriages of princesses and princesses himself. You should also understand what kind of person His Majesty wants to choose. To put it bluntly, In His Majesty's eyes, if these sons-in-law are sensible and capable, their status in His Majesty's eyes may not be inferior to the princesses in the future."

Wei Hengyan understood that what she meant was that if the brothers-in-law chosen by the emperor himself had to be loyal, the emperor's favorite in the future would probably be higher than the princesses—after all, those were real wings, the emperor's royal wings. The foundation of the universe.

Even though the emperor turned to his younger sister on the surface, the one he trusted and relied on more in his heart was still his brother-in-law.

In this case, even if the princess has a noble status, it is impossible for her to be too contemptuous of the consort.

Even, in order to win over his subordinates in the future, the emperor might not follow the example of the previous emperor, asking the princesses to give himself a reputation of being wise, benevolent, and compassionate to his ministers.

... Anyway, he doesn't feel bad if it's not his daughter.

But if Kunze chooses the Ji family, it is basically impossible for the emperor to reuse the Ji family. Moreover, the Ji family needs to rely on the princess to save their lives, let alone dare to disobey her, that is definitely serving her like an ancestor.

In this way, although it is unlikely that her husband's family will be in a high position, Kunze himself can live a very nourishing life.

The princess was raised by the Empress Dowager Qu, and the Queen Mother has never left home. Even if the princess can play with the three princesses occasionally, she is generally tightly restrained. She seems lively, and I am afraid she has not missed much. complexion.

At her age, as Empress Dowager Yuan said, she really doesn't have much knowledge, and she is easy to be fooled. After some empress Ji's persuasion, don't you think that the Ji family is a good choice?

only……

Yun Fenghuang thought to himself, Empress Ji is not a fool, why doesn't she know the consequences of doing such a thing?

Even if you really communicate with Princess Kunze, you should keep things a little more secret.

Even though the Ji family has been on the decline for the past few months, but after all the years in power, the centipede is dead but not stiff, Yun Fenghuang doesn't think that Empress Ji can't do such a little thing.

So, how did Queen Mother Yuan find out?

Is it true that Princess Kunze is ignorant and exposed, or... Empress Dowager Yuan has a quiet but extremely strict surveillance beside Empress Dowager Qu?

Thinking of the Queen Mother Qu who seemed to have no intentions and even acted petty, and who was still giving him vegetarian meals, Yun Fenghuang bit his lips. If Queen Mother Yuan had really been staring at this "Sister Qu", then Is it because Empress Dowager Yuan is not at ease because Chunjia is not her own, or is it that Empress Dowager Qu is not as simple as I imagined, so that she dare not relax in the slightest because of the position of Empress Dowager Yuan?
