Chapter 61 Natural Disasters

Yun Fenghuang frowned and said: "This is not trusting us people!"

"Actually, there is not much more of her in the palace, and one less of her is quite a lot." Gu Zhen said, "According to Yin Qu's reliance on His Majesty, His Majesty will probably agree, but what position do you think should be given to her? At the beginning of Yin Qu, Entering the palace is only conferred by Zhaoyi. This is her younger sister. In theory, she should be a little lower than Zhaoyi. The problem is that when Yin Qiang had a difficult childbirth, she was Concubine Shao, and she was concubine Wen Huixian afterward. The adoptive mother of the Seventh Prince cannot Is it the nine concubines?"

"Then we can't break the rules and let her go straight to the concubine position?" Yun Fenghuang said, "What do you think about the experience of the concubines now? The most successful one is Concubine Wan, the first concubine, who has served His Majesty at least A few days ago, Concubine Xie, Concubine An, concubine Xie, had the credit for giving birth to an imperial heir, but Concubine An has been suffering for many years... Your Majesty is very dependent on Yin Qu, but he has also given a lot of favor to the Yin family? Because Wen Hui is dead, everything is closely related to the Yin family, so who is the ruler and who is the minister?"

He also said, "Wen Hui's concubine's fate is pitiful, but to put it bluntly, she is not the most honorable among the high positions in the palace. The former empress, former noble concubine, and former concubine Shu are all about serving your majesty by birth and status. Chen Guang, who is not above her? Her dystocia is not because of any grievances or calculations, but because of her own fate. The Ji family does not mention, whoever made a fuss over the death of their daughter Is it? The former empress and the former concubine have no heirs, but the relationship between Yi Guogong and this palace is also known by the empress, and they didn't say they were worried about this palace at the beginning, so they must send another daughter-in-law into the palace to take care of King Qin?"

Gu Zhen felt that the situation was different. Firstly, Yunzhao and his wife did not have a second daughter-in-law; Concubine Shu was born in person, and the mother and son have never even met each other. Under such circumstances, Duke Yi's mansion has limited value for King Qin, and there is no need for this cheap grandson to bring a carefully cultivated daughter-in-law into the palace to fight with Yun Fenghuang life and death.

And the seventh prince was born by Yin Jian at the risk of his life.

"Your Majesty, I actually feel that you are too generous to the Yin family." Yun Fenghuang saw that the Queen was silent, and said, "Although you are magnanimous and don't care about their distrust of us, you have to think about this matter. What will people think and see when they go out? To put it bluntly, it is not a big problem for concubines like Yin Nuluo to enter the palace. Anyway, there are many young concubines in the palace. As you said just now, there are not many more of her. She is missing a lot. The problem is that you are the middle palace. Everyone will think that you have not managed the sixth palace well. Otherwise, why would the Yin family send a prostitute daughter into the palace to take care of the seventh prince so that the seventh prince can grow up peacefully? nephew?"

Gu Zhen frowned, and said: "Then if Yin Nuluo is not allowed to enter the palace, it doesn't matter who your majesty entrusts the Seventh Prince to raise, but if he fails to raise him well, wouldn't Yin Qu feel resentful?"

"Thunder, rain and dew are all the grace of the king!" Yun Fenghuang said lightly, "Besides, the Tian family has its own rules, so why make an exception for Yin Qu? If he doesn't even understand such a little reason... that can only mean that he Not fit to be a minister."

"..." Gu Zhen thought for a long time before hesitating, "I think about it again, you should go back first."

On the way back to Xuanqing Palace, Chen Jing said cautiously: "My lady, since the empress doesn't appreciate it, why should we remind her?"

Regardless of whether the Queen adopted this suggestion in the end, if this word reached the ears of the Yin family, it is conceivable that they would definitely resent Shang Yun Feng Huang.

Yun Fenghuang glanced at him and said: "Where is this palace reminding her? I just don't want Yin Nuluo to enter the palace."

"Excuse me for being stupid, but the unknown lady has already thought of someone to take care of for the Seventh Prince?" Chen Jing asked thoughtfully.

Otherwise, as Yun Fenghuang said, there are too many young and beautiful people like Yin Nuluo in the palace, but Yun Fenghuang is willing to support Yi Xingen and other beautiful women, so why is he still afraid that Yin Nvluo will not be able to compete for favor? ?

But why stop the other party from entering the palace?

"Who will bring up the Seventh Prince is suitable for the holy order, I don't want to comment." Yun Fenghuang shook his head and said, "I just think... Yin Nvluo was impulsive. The empress is virtuous, and I am afraid that Your Majesty and Yin Qu, the monarch and his subjects There was a grudge between them, and I didn't think about such things at all. If Yin Qu agreed, as a person, he must have mentioned it to His Majesty in the past. How could Yin Nuluo, a weak girl in a boudoir, come to the Queen to say this in person? Yin Nuluo made her own decision, but her father may not agree. Now that Ben Gong stops me, Yin Qu may not even have time to thank Ben Gong."

Yin Qu still doesn't know that the imperial concubine in the palace has confirmed his gratitude, and he is trembling with anger from his little daughter's actions: "Are you crazy!? How could you do such a thing?! Qian'er It's gone, she just disappeared in the palace, if it wasn't for the Seventh Prince, I don't want to hear any words related to the harem of the Tong Dynasty in my life, and you still want to go in?!"

"Otherwise?" Yin Nvluo asked with tears in her eyes, "there is no one in the palace who is suitable to raise the seventh prince. If I don't enter the palace, how can I hand him over to those people with ulterior motives?! Will they raise the seventh prince well? Daddy I didn't see that the Seventh Prince was extremely weak from the moment he landed, and his crying was not as loud as when his nephews and nieces fell to the ground... The queen and the concubine didn't say anything directly, but after I saw them whispering to the imperial doctor, their expressions became serious, and the more It is like this that the seventh prince needs to be taken care of more carefully, but my sister is gone, who else will treat him with heart and soul?! My sister was so kind to me before she was alive, but now she can't take care of her own flesh and blood personally. If I don't enter the palace, can it be Watching the Seventh Prince in the hands of those empresses..."

"Are you entering the palace?" Yin Qu interrupted her unbearably, "It's fine for you to enter the palace. For the sake of being a father, the emperor and empress would not refuse. But have you ever thought about it? You are only fourteen this year, and you will They all need the protection of the father and the care of the sisters-in-law. You can take care of the seventh prince?! You heard our discussion yesterday. It’s deeply rooted in the palace, even if it’s so, it’s not that the King of Chu’s illness has not had a clear result so far?! Do you think you are Concubine Min! You can call the wind and rain when you first enter the palace at a young age?! A person like Concubine Min , how many years did one come out!"

Yin Nvluo was stunned, she really didn't think of this, she just felt that there was no one in Liugong who was suitable to take care of her nephew, so why not go into the palace and do it by herself.

At this moment, although I was a bit at a loss when I heard the words, I was even more unconvinced: "Why can't I do what Concubine Min Gui can do?"

"... Your sister didn't do it?" Yin Qu looked at her sadly, "You are the daughters of the Yin family, so it is destined that His Majesty will not be too mean to you, but he will definitely not spoil you too much. After all Ji's lesson is still bloody in front of you, neither the royal family nor the ministers will allow a second Ji to appear! So even if you enter the palace, your situation is just as good as your sister's, and His Majesty will give you Yourong, I respect you, and I will treat you with a gentle attitude. As long as you don't provoke troubles or cause big troubles, you will live a relatively easy life. But that's it, His Majesty will not be particularly partial to you, So if you are unable to win in terms of conspiracy and tricks, just like your sister, if you die in childbirth, then you die in childbirth, and your life is suffering, no one can blame you!"

Yin Nuluo was shocked: "Could it be that sister's so-called dystocia...?"

"Maybe it's true, maybe there's something inside." Yin Qu said calmly, "But now there is no proof, we can only admit that it was your sister's life. I just give you an example to tell you that the palace is not what you want. It's as simple as it sounds. It is true that everyone who is qualified to adopt the Seventh Prince has various deficiencies. But...however, they are better than you who can't take care of themselves!"

It is rare for him who has always loved his daughter not to save face with Yin Nuluo. He was really shocked by the bold and naive behavior of his little daughter today, "You have always been protected by your father and sister, and you have never had any worries. Worry, how can you be the opponent of those people? Think about who are the high-ranking people in the palace now? Your Majesty has practiced Zuo for ten years, and if he can survive until now, even if he has the help of his family First of all, I can't hold back, otherwise Zheng Gu is still there, where is the former imperial concubine? Besides, let alone those who have no family background, ten of you are not enough for others to take care of..."

Seeing Yin Nuluo weeping silently, Yin Qu softened his heart again. After a moment of silence, he sighed, "Don't worry about it, this is my father's own decision."

When the Yin family's father and daughter were in a state of confusion, Yun Fenghuang was frowning to confirm with Chen Jing: "The result of the court meeting? Return the person? That's it? No other backup?"

Chen Jing whispered: "It wasn't like this at first, but after noon today, when several adults were still fighting with His Majesty, they came here to rush again."

He paused, his voice lowered, "The long river broke its embankment and flooded several prefectures and counties in the lower reaches that were able to handle rice crops. Not to mention the harvest, the people were displaced, so the local officials urgently reported to the imperial court to ask for disaster relief, this..."

How can this be a war?

It must be known that the Changhe River is the most extensive water system in the south, running from east to west, and passing through the entire Kingdom, involving many states and counties along the way, and its downstream is the most important source of taxation, grain and grass for the Kingdom.

To put it bluntly, if the emperor and his ministers could choose, the emperor would rather be flooded.

"..." Yun Fenghuang was speechless for a while, sat for a while, and then said, "Isn't Changhe allocated funds every year to strengthen the embankment, how could it burst?"

Chen Jing shook her head and said, "I don't know."

The news spread the next day, and soon caused a series of changes.

For example, the marriage originally planned by the Wei family and the Gu family was shelved.

Because it is unlikely to fight in a short time, it is Shou Ninghou. After Chunjia received the news of the flood, he appointed Ouyang Yanran as the imperial envoy on the spot. As the deputy envoy of the imperial envoy, he followed Ouyang Yan to express condolences to Li Shu on behalf of the Tian family.

There is no way, the royal population is withered, and Chunjia's own sons are too young, and only his cousin, Gong Xiangxiao, can be useful.

What the Wei family is thinking now is whether they can promise their daughter to Gong Xiangxiao, and then Concubine Tuo De will help intercede, let Wei's children also join in the matter of water control. Princess Dongxing and Concubine De are seeking to be crowned knights?

They were still thinking about the feasibility of this matter, and finally heard the news: Shou Ning Hou was engaged.

Well, of course the fiancée is not their daughter.
