Chapter 1: His Royal Highness [05]
When the queen heard that the prince had a grandson, her face changed uncontrollably. Fortunately, the emperor was patronizing Huanxi at this time. She didn't notice that the queen's face was not right. She quickly adjusted to a happy expression and said to the emperor. : "Congratulations to Your Majesty for getting another grandson, this is a big happy event in the palace in the past few years!"
"Haha!" The emperor was really happy, "Happy and happy!"
The smile on the lips of the queen who couldn't feel the joy at all was very rigid, but her heart kept sinking. Now that the prince has a son, the only advantage of the second prince is gone. How to compete with the prince in the future?
The emperor was still teasing the son of the second prince, but now he is not in the mood. He shoved the little emperor's grandson to the queen, and couldn't wait to get up: "Let's go to the East Palace! I'm going to see my grandson!"
The empress holding the little emperor's grandson couldn't hold back the smile on her face. The emperor's words sounded too irritating. It seemed that the little emperor's grandson in the East Palace was his grandson, and the second prince's son, who was quite favored by him just now. Not like his grandson!
The queen was also angry, holding her grandson without moving, leaving the emperor alone to go to the East Palace.
Originally wanted to take advantage of the emperor's dissatisfaction, the queen expressed her attitude and told the emperor not to be too partial. As a result, the emperor did not notice that the queen did not follow up, or the emperor did not care whether the queen came or not.
The emperor set up in the East Palace, Yuan Jia hurriedly came to greet him: "My son, see the father and emperor!"
The emperor strode into the East Palace: "No need to be too polite! Let me see my little grandson!"
Yuan Jia took the emperor to a side hall, and asked the nurse to bring the child to the emperor to see. The newborn child was red and wrinkled like a clown monkey, crying, but the emperor liked it how he saw it: " This child is good-looking, it looks like it was carved out of a mold when you were born, and the crying is so loud, it is obviously healthy."
The emperor untied a jade pendant from his waist, stuffed it into the child's swaddle, and stretched out his arms to hug: "Although this child is not a direct son, it is also your first child, and his status is precious, I have already taken it. Once you have a name, you will be called Qin Zheng, Zhengrong's Zheng."
The children of Qin Zheng's generation have two-character names next to the word "mountain". For example, the son of the second prince is called Qin Yu.
Compared with the ordinary meaning of the word 'Yu', the meaning of the word 'Zheng', which symbolizes the lofty heights, is unusual.
Yuan Jia bowed to the emperor: "I will thank my father and emperor for the name on behalf of Zhenger!"
As the only son of the prince, Qin Zheng naturally performed the three rituals very grandly. The emperor and the queen came in person, and the specifications were only slightly less than that of the prince's heir, but the excitement and the emperor's attention still made Feng Yufeng feel jealous. .
However, Feng Yufeng shrugged, and now she can only lie on the bed to recuperate, and she can't participate in the three rituals. She can only bite the horn by herself and curse Lin and that little brat to die soon!
No one cared about the absence of the Crown Princess Feng Yufeng. Among those who came to the East Palace to congratulate, either they were as worried as the second prince that it would be more difficult to deal with the birth of an heir, or they were as happy as Qin Yuanhao for having an offspring. I don't even have the heart to pay attention to a prince who has no children and no pets.
Fortunately, Feng Yufeng suffered a waist injury and couldn't be absent. Otherwise, at the third banquet today, she would have been sitting on pins and needles watching Concubine Lin's mother being flattered by other noble ladies, while her own mother, Madam Feng, was left out and half-dead.
＜＜＜＜＜＜
Washing the three banquets made Feng Yufeng hide, but the full moon banquet could not hide.
Her waist injury was not very serious at first, and it was healed after lying in bed for half a month, and then she received an order from Yuan Jia to let her attend Qin Zheng's full moon banquet.
The children's three washing feasts, the full moon feast, and the first birthday feast are all to be held. Qin Zheng, as a concubine, should have Feng Yufeng, his first-born mother, handle his three washing feasts and the full moon feast. However, Yuan Jia was worried about Feng Yufeng and only let him Feng Yufeng will show her face when the time comes.
Yuan Jia set a set of rules for the internal affairs of the East Palace, and let Zhang Jinzhong, the **** beside him, and the aunt who served by the first queen be in charge together. The palace staff of the East Palace each performed their own duties and supervised each other. important.
Therefore, Feng Yufeng could not touch the management rights of the East Palace, and Concubine Lin side tentatively mentioned it, but Yuan Jia did not agree.
When Xiao Qinzheng was full moon, Concubine Lin just happened to have her confinement. After giving birth, she looked a little plumper after the confinement, and her beautiful melon seed face was also a little rounder, but it was inevitable to have a child. .
She wore a slightly looser dress, covering her waist that was thicker than before. She held her son with a radiant face, in stark contrast to Feng Yufeng, who was wearing a formal princess dress but had no expression on her face.
A discerning person can see at a glance that Concubine Lin, who has now given birth to a son in the East Palace, has the upper hand.
As the biological mother of the Crown Princess, Mrs. Feng was also fortunate enough to enter the East Palace to attend the full moon banquet of the little emperor's grandson Qin Zheng, but she stood in the middle of a group of concubines and saw her daughter's elongated face showing no joy, and she was very anxious and could not wait Chuanyin reminded her daughter not to appear unhappy on this happy day, and to keep her words in vain.
However, Feng Yufeng has suffered so many blows, she can no longer smile, and she is not happy to be wronged at the full moon banquet of the little cub of Lin's life. She is sitting in her seat with a late mother's face, who is it? It could be seen that she was unhappy.
The second concubine who was at odds with her mocked her: "Sister-in-law was married to the East Palace before Concubine Lin, so why haven't you been pregnant yet? I have some good recipes for having a baby here, but I don't know if my sister-in-law wants it?"
Feng Yufeng sarcastically went back: "Don't worry about Ben Gong, you won't be much better yourself! When you have a son, come back and tell Ben Gong about your recipe for having a baby!"
When the second princess married the second prince, she married late, and as soon as she married, she became a ready-made mother. Qin Yu, the eldest son of the concubine, was favored by the emperor and the second prince, but not to mention the second princess's eyes.
Later, the second princess gave birth to a daughter, but the daughter and son were completely different, and they did not threaten the status of Qin Yu, the son of a concubine.
Feng Yufeng is also aware of the situation of the second princess, so she will go back ironically.
The face of the second princess was blue and white, but because Feng Yufeng was both a sister-in-law and a princess, with different identities and orderly age, she did not dare to go back with the same straightforward sarcasm as Feng Yufeng, so she could only squeeze out a smile: "Sister-in-law, this I don't know the good heart, I just kindly remind my sister-in-law that even if you can't have a direct son, it's good to have a daughter under your knees."
After all, she still has a daughter, proving that she can have a son, but the fate of giving birth to a son is not enough. It is not like Feng Yufeng married into the royal family before her, and has been favored by His Royal Highness for a long time, but there is no news at all!
Feng Yufeng, who was teased that he couldn't even give birth to a daughter, glanced at the second princess with a sneer, and his heart was full of superiority: It's not that Ben Gong can't give birth, it's just that he doesn't want to give birth to a man he doesn't like!
However, in the blink of an eye, seeing the complacent look of Concubine Lin who had just given birth to a son to a man she didn't like, Feng Yufeng felt sour and astringent, not knowing what it was like.
Turning her head again, she saw the heart-stuck scene of Qin Yuanhao and his concubine Zhang Qiqi flirting with each other, Feng Yufeng felt that she was about to have a heart attack.
＜＜＜＜＜＜
Feng Yufeng was in a very irritable mood. Although she had scolded the second princess several times, she could not relieve her irritable mood. She didn't care about her face anymore. After drinking two glasses of wine, she went out to blow air under the excuse of dizziness.
Yuan Jia noticed Feng Yufeng's departure from the table, he glanced at the palace servants who accompanied Feng Yufeng, and saw that there were people arranged by him, he ignored it.
Feng Yufeng walked to the garden pavilion and sat to blow the cold wind. The gentle breeze brushed her face, which calmed her hot mood a lot.
However, when she looked up and saw the waterside pavilion opposite the pond, she thought that the prince on the opposite side had built a new yard specially for Concubine Lin to escape the summer, and the jealousy in her heart could not be suppressed.
The more she looked, the more upset she got, so she got up and prepared to change her place. On the way, she was bumped by a rash maid at the corner of the garden rockery. Feng Yufeng was knocked backwards, but luckily the waiter behind her supported her in time. To her: "Miss, are you alright?"
The maid who bumped into her hurriedly knelt down and kowtowed and begged for mercy: "Prince Concubine, please forgive me! This servant didn't do it on purpose. It was just that His Highness the Second Prince ordered the servant to prepare sober tea for him. The servant was in a hurry and ran into you accidentally!"
Feng Yufeng was surprised and did not get angry, but asked, "Are you the maid next to the second prince?"
The palace maid lowered her head: "Yes."
Feng Yufeng smiled slightly and said, "I'm fine in this palace. Since the second prince has ordered you to go to work, then you can go quickly, don't delay."
The palace maid kowtowed again in surprise: "Thank you, my servant, for the kindness of the crown prince and concubine!"
Feng Yufeng watched the back of the palace maid leave, her right hand wrapped in a wide sleeve tightly clenched into a fist.
She turned around and walked towards her residence, and ordered someone casually: "If you go to report to His Royal Highness, you will say that this palace is unwell, and go back to rest first. Please be considerate of His Royal Highness and Concubine Lin!"
"The slaves obey!"
When Feng Yufeng returned to his room, he sent the palace people away: "This palace needs to rest, you all go down!"
After the palace people went out, the door was closed, Feng Yufeng took out his right hand from his sleeve, opened his palm, and a note soaked in sweat from her palm was exposed.
She unfolded the note and looked closely at the tiny words on the note. After reading it, her breathing became much heavier, and then she immediately put the note on the lamp and burned it.
Feng Yufeng pondered the contents of the note just now in her mind, her complexion fluctuated, and her mood was very entangled. Finally, thinking about her current situation, she still made up her mind...
＜＜＜＜＜＜
After Xiao Qinzheng's full moon banquet was over, Concubine Lin started to exercise every day to lose weight, and she wanted to restore her previous figure as soon as possible.
Yuan Jia came suddenly once, and was not surprised when he saw Concubine Lin exercising her waistline.
In the past, when we crossed the modern age, the married wife liked to practice some kind of yoga to keep in shape. Women's pursuit of beauty will never change.
Yuan Jia didn't say anything to comfort Concubine Lin if you are fat and solitary. Instead, he took a serious look at Concubine Lin's waistline and said, "The effect of your exercise is quite obvious, and it feels no different from before pregnancy. ."
Originally, Concubine Lin, who was caught by His Royal Highness and caught her doing indecent actions, was still a little embarrassed. Hearing Yuan Jia say this, she immediately put the embarrassment behind her and asked, "Is Your Highness telling the truth? Concubine Is your body really thin to what it looked like before pregnancy?"
Yuan Jia looked at her round face, and nodded earnestly with no conscience: "It doesn't make any difference if you look at it alone, it's very beautiful, you don't have to toss yourself to eat cat food."
He has no problem with Concubine Lin exercising to lose weight, but in order to lose weight quickly, she eats one meal a day, and she eats very little. She is really worried that her little bird's stomach will be starved.
Concubine Lin quietly touched her waist, she was soft and a little sensual, but since her husband said she was still so good-looking, then... let's not reduce it!
Yuan Jia sat beside Concubine Lin and asked, "Where's Zheng'er? Is Zheng'er good today?"
When Concubine Lin mentioned her son, she had a motherly smile on her face: "Zheng'er wet the bed this morning and cried a lot. The cry was very loud. The nurse changed the bedding for him, so he stopped crying immediately and ate it. The milk fell asleep, and has been sleeping until now, very good!"
Yuan Jia heard this and stood up: "Go and see Zheng'er alone!"
Concubine Lin hurriedly followed, and the two went to the side hall to see the child together. At this time, Qin Zheng's little friend was lying on his exclusive cot and sleeping soundly.
Because it is summer now, the weather is hot, so the child only wears a small apron, and the little fat claws like the lotus root are open, sleeping on all sides, with snot bubbles blowing from the nose, accompanied by Breathing snot bubbles are big and small for a while, so cute.
Yuan Jia couldn't help but want to reach out to poke his son's snot bubbles, but just as he reached out, before he could succeed, he suddenly saw a pool of water spread out on the cot centered on his son's buttocks.
He was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said, "This kid, this is peeing!"
The nurse who was waiting on the side immediately came to pick up the little emperor grandson in a sloppy manner, wiped his **** and changed the bedding, and then the little emperor was woken up by the movement.
Xiao Qin Zheng didn't cry when he woke up. He looked around with big round eyes, looking very energetic.
Yuan Jia said, "Hold the child alone!"
The nurse respectfully handed Xiao Qin Zheng to Yuan Jia, and was going to give instructions to His Royal Highness how to hold the child, but he did not expect that the noble Crown Prince would hold the child in a very standard posture, apparently it was specially practiced in private.
Xiao Qin Zheng came to Yuan Jia's arms, stared at Yuan Jia's face with his fingers in his eyes for a long time, and seemed to recognize that this was his own father who had hugged him before. The little claw gnawed in his father's arms.
Yuan Jia carefully pulled out the hand that was in Xiao Qin Zheng's mouth. Concubine Lin held a clean handkerchief to wipe the saliva from her son's hand, and said incredulously, "This child likes to put his hand in his mouth. , can only let the nurse remember to wash his hands often."
＜＜＜＜＜＜
Yuan Jia was busy with political affairs during the day, and came back at night to accompany Concubine Lin and his son Xiao Qin Zheng, but it seemed that he and Concubine Lin and his mother and son were a family of three, and Feng Yufeng, the prince concubine, was redundant.
However, in Yuan Jia's heart, Feng Yufeng was indeed superfluous. If he hadn't waited to catch her and the second prince, and justly abolished her, he would not have left her alone.
A few days ago, Yuan Jia received a message from Feng Yufeng's eyeliner. Feng Yufeng seemed to have passed some news through Mrs. Feng.
Yuanjia sent people to investigate, and it is estimated that the results should be available today.
Yuan Jia hugged his son and coaxed him at Concubine Lin's place, and when little Qin Zheng fell asleep, he went back to the study to do business.
"My subordinates meet His Royal Highness!"
Yuan Jia asked, "Have you found out?"
"His Royal Highness Qiying, it has been found out. The one who is in contact with the Feng family is the family of the second princess' sister-in-law, and the person behind it is the second prince."
Yuan Jia tapped a few times on the desk with his right hand, and pondered: "Second? He can't bear it so soon?"
In the original plot, when the second prince and Feng Yufeng teamed up to frame Qin Yuanjia, Qin Yuanhao and Zhang Qiqi's sons were both born, and now Zhang Qiqi has not heard good news!
"It seems that he has an orphan, the second child, he can't help it!"
Yuan Jia pondered for a while, then ordered: "Continue to follow up and keep an eye on them!"
"Subordinates obey!"
Yuan Jia was even happier about the second prince joining forces with Feng Yufeng in advance. He could get rid of these two people earlier, complete the task earlier, and feel relieved as soon as possible.
Moreover, Feng Yufeng's actions were frequent, and he could not help but cause trouble for him and Concubine Lin. He even cursed Xiao Qin Zheng to die early, and he had endured her to the limit.
In order to create an opportunity for Feng Yufeng to communicate with the second prince, Yuan Jia also deliberately disguised the defensive power of the East Palace with a lot of loopholes, so that the second prince's eyeliner placed in the East Palace could reach Feng Yufeng, the prince concubine.
Feng Yufeng thought that his connection with the second prince was perfectly concealed, but in fact it was all carried out under Yuan Jia's nose.
After reading the secret letter Feng Yufeng sent to the second prince, Yuan Jia suddenly became furious. He thought that Feng Yufeng and the second prince were planning to frame him for rebellion as in the original plot, but he didn't know until he read the secret letter. , Feng Yufeng actually planned to join forces with the second prince to murder Xiao Qin Zheng!
Feng Yufeng felt that little Qin Zheng was an eyesore, and wished to kill him and Concubine Lin together.
The second prince also didn't want the prince to have an heir, so the two hit it off and decided to join forces to kill Qin Zheng.
As for whether the alliance between the two of them can be maintained after Qin Zheng's death, it doesn't matter.
Yuan Jia's face turned gloomy. Facing Feng Yufeng and the Second Prince's conspiracy to murder him, he could calmly wait for them to drill into the cover, but he couldn't tolerate them extending their poisonous hands to his son!
But the anger turned to anger, Yuan Jia has not lost his calm yet, so he asked people to restore the secret letter to its original state and send it back, waiting for the second prince to send someone to take the secret letter.
If you want to drive these two people into the abyss in one fell swoop, they must not act rashly. The evidence collected so far is not sufficient, and they will not be allowed to deny it if they wait until they are caught.
