Chapter 1: His Royal Highness Prince【04】
She smashed the decorations in the Crown Princess's house. After learning that, His Royal Highness ordered the Ministry of Internal Affairs to replace all of them with sturdy wooden decorations. This incident spread like a gust of wind inside and outside the palace.
Crown Princess Feng Yufeng's commentary suddenly fell to the bottom of the valley like an avalanche, and even Feng Yufeng's father was given a copy by the imperial censor.
The emperor was originally dissatisfied with the jealousy of the Crown Princess, but now that the Crown Princess has made a riot of extravagance, she is even more dissatisfied with her.
But the emperor, a father-in-law, could not go beyond his son to reprimand his daughter-in-law, so he turned his anger on Feng's father.
The princes and concubines of the Dayue Dynasty were of ordinary family backgrounds. This was to prevent foreign relatives from rioting. It was impossible for the prince to use the power of the Yue family to fight for the throne.
Therefore, whether Feng's father's official position is lowered or not has no effect on Yuan Jia, the prince.
However, the immorality of the crown princess made the courtiers who followed Yuan Jia worried, and the second prince took this opportunity to sneer at Yuan Jia.
Even the emperor sighed to Yuan Jia in private: "Yuan Jia, why did you fall in love with such a woman blindly in the first place?"
Yuan Jia said blankly: "My father also said that my son was blind at the time and was confused by Feng's gentle and virtuous appearance."
In fact, it was the plot that made Qin Yuanjia become a lover, and he fell in love with a femme fatale.
Otherwise, a wise prince like Qin Yuanjia stood in the way, and the male protagonist Qin Yuanhao still respected him very much. How could Qin Yuanhao overthrow the prince and become emperor himself?
So Qin Yuanjia had to give up the throne by himself, and by the way, used his own death to help the male protagonist clear the obstacle of the second prince.
Just like the villain boss in many TV dramas, the protagonist can't beat it at all.
As a prince, Qin Yuanjia, what kind of beauty has he never seen before? Feng Yufeng is not a stunning beauty who is ostentatious and overwhelming. Qin Yuanjia fell in love with Feng Yufeng at first sight as if she had been betrayed. In the original plot, when facing Feng Yufeng, she did not see the wise and godly martial arts in the government at all, and reduced her wisdom to a love-minded prince.
The emperor looked at the prince's paralyzed face, and was choked by Yuan Jia's straightforwardness.
Yuan Jiadu himself admitted that he was blind to Feng Yufeng before, and the emperor who wanted to kill him was embarrassed to say heavy words.
"Then what are you going to do about Yuanjia? Feng's virtue will not be suitable for the mother world in the future."
Yuan Jia had a plan long ago, he said to the emperor: "Father, the Feng family is the crown prince concubine you personally canonized, after all, you have the crown prince concubine in hand, and you haven't made a big mistake, so it shouldn't be abolished. My son will teach Feng well. 's."
The emperor pondered: "It's good that you have an idea."
Yuan Jia crossed the Ming Road at the emperor's place, and then returned to the East Palace to start 'teaching' Feng Yufeng well.
First, let Qin Yuanjia's mother beside her mother Yuanhou ask Feng Yufeng to follow the strictest rules, and let her memorize the palace rules and learn all kinds of etiquette.
The internal affairs of the East Palace also did not allow Feng Yufeng to intervene any more. Every time Yuan Jia came to see her, she was to compare her learning achievements.
Feng Yufeng was about to be driven mad, but he didn't have so much trouble when he was favored before!
It was not until the day of Qin Yuanhao and Zhang Qiqi's big wedding that Yuan Jia was going to take the crown princess to the wedding, and Feng Yufeng had a day off.
But it is rare to have a rest on this day, but it is tragic to go to the Five Kings Mansion to attend the wedding of the sweetheart to marry another woman.
<<<<<<
Yuan Jia brought Feng Yufeng to Qin Yuanhao's palace.
"His Royal Highness is here! The Crown Princess is here!"
Qin Yuanhao, who was wearing a red robe with a happy smile on his face, greeted him: "Big Brother!" He glanced at Feng Yufeng beside Yuan Jia, and the smile on his face faded slightly, "Prince Concubine!"
Qin Yuanhao couldn't smile when he saw Feng Yufeng's face, because he felt that she was not worthy of being his sister-in-law, but Feng Yufeng didn't think so. She felt very much in her heart that her sweetheart had feelings for her, otherwise, how would she see her and his elder brother? Are you not happy to come together?
Must be jealous! Depressed!
Feng Yufeng looked at Qin Yuanhao with a bit of grief, but we are now uncles and sisters-in-law, and we cannot live together.
Feng Yufeng had a lot of inner drama, but Qin Yuanhao was not willing to give her another look. He led Yuan Jia to the table, and took the initiative to toast Yuan Jia wine.
Yuan Jia raised his glass with a smile: "I should have respected you, the bridegroom officer! I wish the fifth brother and the fifth younger brother a hundred years of happiness, and give birth to a precious son early!"
Qin Yuanhao drank it all: "Thank you, big brother!"
After that, other princes also came to toast, just like Yuan Jia married his side concubine, the second prince didn't plan to let Qin Yuanhao go, and toasted a glass of wine with a glass of wine, trying to get Qin Yuanhao drunk.
Yuan Jia smiled and helped Qin Yuanhao to stop drinking, and said to the second prince, "Second brother wants to drink, so I will drink with you alone. Today is a good day for fifth brother. We can't let him spend the night in the bridal chamber drunkenly!"
The second prince snorted coldly in his heart. He really wanted Qin Yuanhao to sleep in the bridal chamber and spend the night in a drunken bridal chamber.
He said with a fake smile on his face: "How come, this is not the day of the fifth brother's rejoicing, everyone is lively and lively! Since the prince wants to drink with me, then I will be respectful and better to obey!"
He was ruthless in his heart: This time I have to get you drunk, make you lose your temper after drinking, and lose face!
However, the dream was very beautiful, and I really tried to drink. I saw Yuan Jia drink cup after cup, and the second prince had to accompany him to drink cup after cup of wine. In the end, he didn't see any alcohol on Yuan Jia's face. , the second prince was already flushed, and he saw a double image.
Staring at the hated prince in front of him, the second prince found that the hated prince seemed to have learned the avatar technique. One became two, two became four, and in a blink of an eye, he seemed to be surrounded by hated princes...
"Go away!" The second prince dazedly saw a prince next to him, and even slapped him.
Then Yuan Jia, who was sitting opposite the second prince, watched leisurely as the second prince slapped the air beside him and fell to the ground, unable to get drunk.
Yuan Jia let out a breath of alcohol and sent someone to take the second prince down to the second princess.
Zhang Jinzhong offered a cup of sober tea with a wink. Although Yuan Jia was not drunk, he drank the wine in earnest. He slowly drank the sober tea and asked, "Where's the Crown Princess?"
Zhang Jinzhong replied in a low voice, "Your Highness, the Crown Princess is also drunk and has been helped down to rest."
Yuan Jia paused when he was drinking tea, presumably Feng Yufeng was very unhappy watching Qin Yuanhao marry Zhang Qiqi!
<<<<<<
After Qin Yuanhao got married, he took ten days of marriage leave to spend his honeymoon with the newly-wed princess. He lived a very sweet and happy life.
After the marriage leave ended, when Qin Yuanhao came to the court, Yuan Jia saw his complacent appearance and couldn't help joking: "The fifth brother looks very different from the past, but it's not the same when you get married, you grow up. A lot!"
Qin Yuanhao blushed in embarrassment: "Brother, when did I grow up? I'm already a man!"
Yuan Jia laughed twice and patted him on the shoulder: "Stop teasing you! Let's go in!"
He brushed his sleeves and walked towards the Golden Palace.
As a prince, Yuan Jia's treatment was naturally different from that of ordinary princes and courtiers. On the middle steps under the dragon chair, the emperor specially set up a seat for his prince.
However, Yuan Jia would rather stand below like other princes, because this position is too conspicuous, the princes and courtiers below stared at him, and the emperor above stared at him at a glance.
At present, it seems that the emperor still trusts and values him as a prince, but Yuan Jia knows that it is difficult to be a prince since ancient times. No matter how much the emperor believes in the prince now, the first thing he fears after getting old and declining in the future is the gradually threatening his authority. Prince.
From the fact that Qin Yuanjia was easily deposed in the original plot, it can be seen that the emperor had been jealous of the then prince Qin Yuanjia for a long time.
The second prince and Feng Yufeng joined forces to frame Qin Yuanjia for treason. Although the evidence is solid, forged dragon robes, jade seals and other items were found from the East Palace, but if the emperor calmed down and only locked up the prince to investigate the truth, Qin Yuanjia might not be able to He was easily poisoned by Feng Yufeng.
It's not that the emperor has long been jealous of the prince Qin Yuanjia. Seeing that the prince may have turned against him, he immediately abolished the prince and imprisoned Qin Yuanjia without checking the truth.
After Qin Yuanjia was deposed, there was a shortage of staff to serve. Feng Yufeng, his wife, poured tea for Qin Yuanjia, and Qin Yuanjia drank it without any doubt.
The time was still early, and it was still a few years before Feng Yufeng teamed up with the second prince to frame Qin Yuanjia, which meant that the time for the emperor to suspect him as the prince had not yet come.
The emperor would be suspicious of the prince, because he felt unwell, his control over the government had declined, and he felt that he was old and frail, while the prince was young and strong, like a majestic young lion challenging the aging old lion king. , How can this make the old lion king not be afraid?
The emperor sat on the dragon chair with a solemn and dignified face. Yuan Jia looked up at the emperor involuntarily, then lowered his eyes and pondered.
At this time, the emperor was still strong, so he didn't know when his physical condition would decline... Yuan Jia felt that he should have prepared earlier.
In the original plot, when Qin Yuanhao ascended the throne as emperor, his eldest son with Zhang Qiqi was three years old. At that time, the current emperor was still alive, and the emperor who had abdicated for more than two years died.
Yuan Jia glanced at Qin Yuanhao who was standing below. Now Qin Yuanhao and Zhang Qiqi just got married, and they don't know when their eldest son was born.
This morning was rather boring, nothing major, basically trivial matters, so the emperor soon let him retire.
Yuan Jia also returned to the East Palace.
<<<<<<
Yuan Jia came to visit Concubine Lin, who was about to give birth. He didn't call anyone to inform him, so that Concubine Lin, who was very strict, had to salute with a big belly and walked in directly.
"The slave maid joins His Highness the Prince!" The maid who was helping Concubine Lin to play a fan hurriedly said.
Concubine Lin who was closing her eyes and resting on the soft couch heard the voice of the maid, and quickly opened her eyes to look at Yuan Jia: "Why is Your Highness here? Those lazy guys don't make a sound!"
Yuan Jia sat down and said, "I'm the only one who didn't let them report it, so as not to disturb your rest." He asked the maid to make him a cup of tea to moisten his throat. In order not to go out in the middle of the morning, he ate dry breakfast and didn't drink it. Water, a little thirsty now.
While drinking tea slowly, he asked Concubine Lin with concern: "How are you feeling lately? There are still two months before the due date, Gu has already sent someone to find the innocent wife Wen and Nanny, you just relax. "
A gentle smile appeared on Concubine Lin's face, and she said softly, "The concubine is naturally at ease with the person prepared by His Highness." What she said was the truth. She thought that when she was pregnant with a child in the East Palace, she would let others harm her like a thief. She, but I didn't expect that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince would protect her so tightly that she didn't need to worry about it at all.
Even during her pregnancy, His Royal Highness did not favor the Crown Princess!
If it is said that His Royal Highness does not favor the Crown Princess because the Crown Princess has been acting too much recently, which has angered His Highness, then His Highness has rejected His Majesty's behavior of sending beautiful women, so Concubine Lin can not help but hope: Is His Royal Highness the Crown Prince? Is it any different for her?
His Royal Highness, who was born noble, handsome, beautiful, talented, wise, and martial, was gentle, considerate, loving and caring for himself. Even if he believed that he could keep his true heart, Concubine Lin couldn't help but fall.
Yuan Jia felt that when Concubine Lin looked at her affectionate eyes, she was drinking tea for a while, and after the tea entered the mouth, it rolled on the tip of her tongue before he swallowed it.
He sighed in his heart, put down the tea cup, walked to Concubine Lin and sat down, reached out and stroked her bulging belly, the child in the belly probably sensed the movement of the outside world, kicked his little feet, just in Yuan Jia's hand.
Concubine Lin gave a soft cry and said in surprise, "Yeah! The child is kicking me!"
Yuan Jia's eyes softened: "Gu also feels it, what a lively and healthy child!"
He is always soft-hearted towards children, especially pure and flawless babies, and the mother who conceives the child is also holy.
Yuan Jia stayed in Concubine Lin's yard tonight after having dinner before leaving.
He noticed that Concubine Lin was having a hard summer now, not because there were not enough ice cases, but because she couldn't use ice as a pregnant woman, otherwise the cold would be too heavy to bear.
So Yuan Jia ordered someone to clean up a yard next to the waterside pavilion, expand a few more rooms, and then tidy it up, remove insects and ants, and give it to Concubine Lin.
The new residence, which is close to the water, has many shades, is much cooler than the previous residence, and is larger than the yard she used to live in after the expansion.
After moving in, Concubine Lin was very happy to see the new residence, and the maid said in her ear: "Niangniang, His Royal Highness is thinking of you! It must be that His Royal Highness saw you in a hard summer, so he ordered the expansion. Here, let you escape the summer."
Concubine Lin felt very comfortable when she heard it, especially since she only had this special treatment, and the Crown Princess didn't have it.
Moreover, the original residence, His Royal Highness, was not taken away. She wanted to live wherever she wanted. This special treatment made Concubine Lin in the East Palace all the time, and even the concubine had to retreat.
<<<<<<
Feng Yufeng stared at the wooden furnishings in the room with a dejected expression. After all, she was still a crown princess, and the Ministry of Internal Affairs did not dare to humiliate her with inferior wood, but only good wood.
But Feng Yufeng was even more embarrassed because of the good wood used. If she used inferior wood to make the ornaments, she could still cry a few words that the prince treated her as a princess. The prince didn't treat her badly at all, just to prevent her from smashing things again.
But she lost all her face. When she went out to socialize, her concubine or concubines in the harem couldn't help but ask her if she could see the exquisite wooden vases and ornaments in her palace.
After being ridiculed several times, Feng Yufeng was so angry that he didn't want to go out. And she didn't want to see her sweetheart's newly married princess, and she didn't want to get along with Zhang Qiqi as a concubine, she was too heartbroken.
But staying in the East Palace and not going out, there are also all kinds of bad things. It is enough to receive the strict teaching of the mammy next to the previous queen, but also to endure the high and low praise of the palace people. Seeing that she is not favored, they all go. Holding the stinky feet of Lin's little slut.
For example, when she went to the imperial pantry to get a meal, her dignified concubine had to fall behind Concubine Lin, and when she questioned her, they said with plausibility: "His Royal Highness ordered to take care of Concubine Lin's appetite, after all, Lin Fang. The concubine has two bodies now, and her body is precious, how can she be hungry?"
What else can Feng Yufeng do? Let Mrs Lin go hungry and let the imperial pantry cook her meal first?
If she dared to do this, the next day would spread the rumor that she treated the pregnant concubine harshly again.
Feng Yufeng had no choice but to endure it. Anyway, the Crown Princess's share was there. Even if the palace servants held high and stepped down, they would not dare to deduct her share. At most, they were not as comfortable as before.
To put it bluntly, Feng Yufeng is a coward. In the past, she dared to rely on Qin Yuanjia to like her, but now that Yuanjia has made her fall out of favor, she is much more honest and more tolerant.
Feng Yufeng's maid came to complain: "Prince Concubine, that Concubine Lin is so outrageous, how dare she live in two yards alone!"
Feng Yufeng asked with a drooping face, "What's going on?"
The maid's voice dropped: "I heard that His Royal Highness, the Crown Prince pity the bitter summer of the concubine Lin, specially built a yard for her next to the waterside pavilion and let her move in there. However, her original yard was not taken away, and now she lives alone. The two courtyards really don't take you in the eyes of the lady!"
Feng Yufeng suppressed the anger in his heart and said coldly: "Then what can I do? Can I still reject the prince's order?"
Seeing that Feng Yufeng seemed indifferent, the maid couldn't help but persuaded: "Niangniang, you are obviously the prince concubine that His Royal Highness is marrying, and even the first favorite of His Royal Highness is you, you have to find a way to regain His Highness' heart! Otherwise, Concubine Lin will give birth to a child and have a son and a pet, where will there be a place for you to stand in the East Palace in the future?"
Feng Yufeng heard turbulent waves in her heart. It was indeed the case. Before the child in the womb of Lin's **** was born, she suppressed her into a nominal prince concubine. If she gave birth to the only child of the prince, her disadvantage would be even greater. now...
Following the maid's words, Feng Yufeng also pondered how to restore the prince's favor to her, not for anything else, but to give that little **** Lin a good look!
<<<<<<
Because Concubine Lin was about to give birth, Yuan Jia was very sensitive to the troubles in the East Palace.
The eyeliner placed next to Feng Yufeng reported that Feng Yufeng seemed to have made some small moves recently. Yuan Jia did not dare to relax his vigilance, and sent someone to stare at her closely, for fear that she would do something wrong and harm the child in Concubine Lin's belly.
In the end, I didn't expect that Feng Yufeng's mysterious and mysterious operation turned out to be... a competition for favor?
Yuan Jia sat on the chair and looked at Feng Yufeng, who was wearing a red dress in front of him, and was very speechless.
In terms of beauty, Feng Yufeng's appearance is also considered first-class, weak and elegant, and has a pure temperament. Wearing a simple and elegant dress is like a fairy, which is very pitiful.
But she wants to follow Concubine Lin's enchanting and charming style. Isn't this hot eyes? Yuan Jia looked at the long red dress that she couldn't hold up, and pressed her temples, only to feel a headache.
He didn't save Feng Yufeng any face at all: "Feng, do you have cramps in your eyes? If you have nothing to do, go back and memorize the palace rules, and don't embarrass Donggong!"
Feng Yufeng, who finally pulled down the air to look for Yuan Jia's invitation to pet, was so angry that his face turned blue, the old lady gave you a wink, you said that the old lady had cramps in her eyes, and she told the old lady to go back to memorize the palace rules? ? ?
However, before going crazy, Feng Yufeng took a deep breath and silently told herself: This is the prince! This is the prince! This is the prince! This is the prince!
She squeezed out an ugly smile: "That concubine retire!"
Feng Yufeng returned to her residence with a cold face, and the maid who helped her make an idea stared at her face, she didn't dare to say anything along the way, for fear of being angered.
When she returned to the house, she immediately took off the big red dress, threw it on the ground and stepped on her feet, but she was so angry that she smashed the huanghuali wood-carved plum bottle.
Because the wooden products could not be broken, the sound of smashing them was muffled, and there was no crisp sound of broken porcelain to relieve her breath. She kicked two more feet, and accidentally stepped on the round bottle and slipped and fell. Couldn't get up for a while.
The maids hurriedly stepped forward to help Feng Yufeng up, but as soon as she moved, Feng Yufeng cried out in pain, and had no choice but to ask the imperial doctor to come over.
When the imperial doctor came, he looked at it and said that his waist had slumped, and he had to take good care of it.
Feng Yufeng could only lie on the bed to support her waist.
After Yuan Jia heard about it, he was relieved, just lie down and don't make a fuss.
Concubine Lin's due date was approaching. Yuan Jia had prepared her clean wife Wen and Nanny early on. The family members of these people were all held by him. One was to prevent them from being sent by others. The second is to protect their family members and prevent someone from using their family members to coerce them to betray them.
Another doctor of obstetrics and gynecology was invited to live in the East Palace, ready to be dispatched at any time.
Finally, when the Mid-Autumn Festival was still a month and a half away, Concubine Lin started and was sent to the delivery room.
The mama who waited on the Queen's side was very clear about the birth process. She had the woman who was in charge of the birth immediately dragged to the prepared room to be washed all over her body, including the crevices of her fingers, and her clothes had to be changed. Clean, so as not to have any shady drugs on the woman's body that would kill the mother and the child.
Concubine Lin's side has not yet given birth to a child. She just drank a bowl of ginseng soup and was walking in the delivery room waiting for delivery.
After all the wives were cleaned, they were sent to the delivery room to deliver Concubine Lin.
Yuan Jia was standing outside the delivery room, listening to Concubine Lin's suppressed moans in the room. It was not the first time he had experienced such a thing, but every time he was a little nervous, he silently prayed for the safety of his wife and children.
After an unknown amount of time, a loud cry of a baby rang out in the delivery room, and a smile appeared on Yuan Jia's face.
It didn't take long for the mammy to come out to announce the good news to him: "Congratulations to His Royal Highness, Concubine Lin has given birth to a little grandson, and the mother and son are safe!"
Yuan Jia laughed: "Okay!"
Then he rewarded the palace people of the East Palace and shared the joy. Yuan Jia sent Zhang Jinzhong to announce the good news to the emperor.
The emperor is in the queen's palace. The queen asks the second prince to send his eldest son into the palace to accompany him. This is the emperor's only grandson, so sometimes the emperor likes to come to the queen's palace to see his grandson when he has nothing to do. .
At this time, Zhang Jinzhong asked to see him, and the emperor immediately summoned Zhang Jinzhong when he heard that he was someone close to the prince.
Zhang Jinzhong came in and bowed to the emperor and empress and said, "My servant Zhang Jinzhong pays respects to His Majesty, long live His Majesty! See the Empress, the Empress is a thousand years old! See His Royal Highness the little grandson!"
The emperor called him Pingshen: "Is there anything wrong with the prince?"
Zhang Jinzhong replied with a happy face: "Your Majesty, the concubine Lin side gave birth to a young grandson today, and His Royal Highness immediately ordered the servants to announce the good news to His Majesty!"
The queen's expression changed immediately.
