Vol 5 Chapter 38:

The queen's niece was annoying herself, but Yun Fenghuang's nieces shivered under her aunt's gaze: "...If you go back to my aunt, should I go back to my nephew and niece?"
"It's okay." Yun Fenghuang squinted his eyes, looked at the girl in front of him for a moment, then said with a chuckle, "It's just staying with Zhaoqing for a night. What's the big deal? I have to be so scared... just live. Go ahead. If you think it’s not enough, it’s okay to stay for two more days. In the end, the palace is no better than Miyagi, and there are not so many restrictions."
Her niece, Xie Xiyu and Xiao Cui's daughter Xie Mengmeng is seven years old this year. She did not follow her father or mother, but she accidentally passed on her aunt Cui Lianye.
When I was with Concubine Shu, people who didn't know thought it was the emperor from Concubine Shu, and her eyebrows were quite similar.
Only a pair of eyebrows have a shadow of Xie Xiyu.
The child's name was given to Yun Fenghuang after the little Cui clan asked Yun Fenghuang after he came to the Imperial Capital.
At that time, it was in the cold spring. Yun Fenghuang looked at his young niece and thought of getting along with Xie Xiyu in her boudoir. At that time, Xie Xiyu taught her "Begonia does not hesitate to rouge, independent in the drizzle [Note]", said carefully. Rain is the origin of his name... The youngest brother was born in spring.
So he and his niece took the word "Mengmeng".
Originally, she wanted to raise Xie Mengmeng in front of her like Xie Meng, but Xiao Cui was unwilling. Yun Fenghuang thought that the step-sister-in-law was a widow, and it was indeed unkind to take her only daughter by herself. Just give up.
In the past two years, Little Cui had frequently hinted that she had taken Xie Mengmeng to the palace to raise her.
Especially after Xie Meng married Deng Chengzhai, he was very much loved by Deng Chengzhai. Xiao Cui looked regretful, and felt that his daughter had been delayed following her.
Yun Fenghuang was very helpless. Xie Meng is her niece, why isn't Xie Mengmeng?
Xie Mengmeng was actually better than Xie Meng for the love accumulated by the elders. After all, she looked closer to Xie Xiyu than Xie Xiliu.
Even if Xie Xiyu made a big mistake, she would cheat her, but...the dearest relatives are after all.
No, a few days ago, Xiao Cui directly proposed that he wanted to grant his daughter to the seventh prince or king of Jin. After being rejected by Yun Fenghuang, he just settled in the Qishan courtyard and couldn’t wait to send Xie Mengmeng into the palace. Come and play with Zhaoqing.
Just play, the key is that it’s getting darker now. When Yun Fenghuang plans to send someone to send his niece out of the palace, Xie Mengmeng hesitates to say that her mother wants her to stay in the palace tonight, with Zhaoqing’s cousin. Talk more.
It is still unclear where Yun Fenghuang is. The little Cui family's drunkard is not interested in drinking. What is more close to Zhaoqing is to seek opportunities to get close to the Seventh Prince or King Jin.
There is a high probability that it will be King Jin, because it is no secret that the Seventh Prince has been in the courtyard of the Queen Mother for the past two days.
"...Nephew, let's go back." Xie Mengmeng was so young, he was still ignorant of his mother's calculations and aunt's plans, but instinctively felt that aunt was not happy, so he became scared and whispered, " Anyway...Anyway, my niece will go back, and my mother won’t do anything to my niece."
"It's as if you stay in this palace and treat you like you." Yun Fenghuang laughed. If Xiao Cui was in front of this, she couldn't say that she would beat it, but her niece is different, let alone the same. Point the older child.
She softened her expression and teased Xie Mengmeng, "In my heart, is this aunt in this palace so fierce?"
Seeing Xie Mengmeng's hurried denial, the imperial concubine smiled and teased a few more words, and arranged for her to go to Zhaoqing, "You two sisters, please go there, and this palace will not disturb you."
After the niece walked away, she asked a little annoyedly, "Cui Mansion, who is still struggling to cheat the Eighteenth Sister-in-law in the past two days? It seems that this palace has been so easy to talk recently. Someone dared to do this. It's always causing trouble to this palace again and again!"
"It seems that the birth mother of the eighteenth youngest wife is dying." Chen Jing came out and said, "I am concerned about the eighteenth youngest wife and Miss Meng these days, and worry that their lonely widows will have a bad life in the future. ."
Yun Fenghuang's tone eased a little after hearing the words. One of Cui Wan's concubine hadn't taken it to heart, but Xiao Cui, how should I say, was indeed pitted by Xie Xiyu.
A good lady, Xie Xiyu is the royal concubine's brother and has passed the test before committing to marrying. As a result, within two years of getting married, before he had time to give birth to a son, it was revealed that her husband murdered his wife's son... Yun Fenghuang Don't mind her remarrying, just leave Xie Mengmeng.
But Cui Wan, for the sake of her family's reputation and her relationship with the imperial concubine, was determined to let this daughter keep the festival.
Therefore, Yun Fenghuang was more tolerant of this sister-in-law, and even more tolerant of this sister-in-law’s mother-in-law, after hearing this, he said,
This woman really doesn’t know what she thinks. They are all pointing to this palace to live. Why can't this palace protect their mother and daughter?"
Seeing that Chen Jing and the Qing people were hesitant to say something, they raised their eyebrows and said, "What? Even you guys think this palace is unreliable?"
"Niangniang, it’s not like that, but, the mother of the eighteenth youngest wife, I’m afraid it’s not that she’s afraid that she won’t take care of the eighteenth youngest wife and Miss Meng." Qingren reminded in a low voice, "but she is worried that she will be with her Royal Highness for the sake of her husband Miss Meng was wronged by Ms. Meng. After all, Ms. Meng and the two are not very different in age... Although the prince in front of the empress is not one or two, judging from the behavior of the eighteenth young lady these days, it is almost impossible. Don't worry, Miss Meng promised His Royal Highness King Qin or His Royal Highness the Ninth Prince."
She didn't say, Yun Fenghuang really forgot.
Although Xie Wuzheng and Sui'an have never given birth after their marriage, in order to calm Sui'an's mood, Xie Wuzheng took a pair of twin sisters and raised them in front of the eldest princess in the early years.
auzw.comBecause he has promised not to be a stepchild, and he does not like adopting children, it is not considered as an adoption, but is arranged in front of Sui'an to relieve the boredom.
But the couple has been emptied for many years, and the sisters are almost the same as their daughters.
That being the case, can Xie Wuzheng and Sui'an not plan their future?
And the future of a woman this year is nothing more than marriage.
Then the most wealthy husband's family is undoubtedly the royal family... you must also kiss the prince Yun Fenghuang's knees.
Sui'an grew up in the palace, but because she was a girl who couldn't hold the seat, and his aunt Ji Cheng was from a large family, although it was not possible to treat the daughters of the concubine as if they were the same, she did not bother to make an embarrassment deliberately. Therefore, the eldest princess didn't suffer much during her growth, and her mind was not particularly deep. However, Xie Wuzheng is the master of the Xie clan who is the best at intrigue other than Yun Fenghuang. Will he let the twin sisters Xu Geming be the king of the Qin and his ilk, whose future is at most a vassal?
It should be impossible.
Anyone who is optimistic about the future of the imperial concubine and wants her daughter to have a bright future is naturally aimed at King Jin; if she wholeheartedly loves her daughter, it is okay to find her daughter with a valuable background, most of whom are going towards the seventh prince.
All in all, these two princes whom Xiao Cui had fancy, Xie Wuzheng would also like it 80%.
This can understand the eagerness of the little Cui's biological mother. King Jin will compete for the position of prince in the future. In this case, the concubine Zheng will definitely not have the turn of a girl surnamed Xie.
It must be to marry a daughter of a prominent family who can provide support to King Jin.
Maybe she didn't care about the accidental granddaughter Xie Mengmeng being the side concubine, the key is that the side concubine also has two seats.
The King of Jin is not a prince, and even the ranking is not dominant. Although the queen is not favored, the ten princes and the twelve princes are true jade disc records of the princes.
Aiming at the distinction between concubines and concubines, Yun Fenghuang must also plan carefully on King Jin's marriage and not waste any quota.
So, even if you look at the flesh and blood, you can squeeze one out to take care of your niece and daughter...
There is at most one, it is impossible to say that the two side concubines are for the Xie's daughter.
So Xie Mengmeng and the twin sisters under the knees of Princess Ma Ma, didn’t they have a conflict?
On the Seventh Prince's side, the Seventh Prince himself has no ideas yet, but his elders have tacitly refused to let him take risks.
In this case, whether Xie Mengmeng or the twins in front of him, there is actually a chance for him to be a concubine.
And there is only one seat for the concubine Zheng!
Considering from the standpoint of Cui's biological mother, it is indeed urging her daughter to reserve a seat for her granddaughter first, otherwise, after Xie Wuzheng mentions it, the mother of course must worry that her own daughter and granddaughter won't be able to grab it.
It's not that I don't trust Yun Fenghuang but value Xie Mengmeng...
After all, Concubine Min is famous for attaching importance to blood relatives.
The point is, if the twins' backstage was Xie Wuzheng, it would be nice to say, how can a cousin have a real brother?
But the twins were raised for the princess Sui'an. Over the years, it is rumored that Xie Wuzheng didn't care much about the two girls, but the princess Sui'an was very fond of them and treated them as if she had come out.
Under this circumstance, it is conceivable that Sui'an could not give them any effort?
Regarding Suian's special status, she didn't need to go through Yunfenghuang, and she could tell Chunjia directly. Could Chunjia make arrangements for her?
In this way, Xie Mengmeng seems to be a strong backer, and there is no need to worry about the future, but if you want the best, you can't be negligent.
Otherwise, you can't be squeezed down by the twin cousins, you can only pick the rest of them.
"I heard that the birth mother of the Eighteenth Sister-in-law was Cui Wan's concubine, and I didn't care about it before. Looking at it now, it's no wonder that Cui Wan's value can be obtained for such a rainy day." Yun Fenghuang could not help but sigh when he wants to understand this section. Said, "It's just that she urged me to be too easy to talk to my palace. My palace felt a little guilty to the eighteenth wife, but how to pay back this guilt? It should be my palace's decision, not by The mother and daughter are condescending and gesticulating... or is it true that my palace is a soft persimmon? I feel sorry for the sister-in-law of the eighteenth sister, but because of the eighteenth brother, but even if the eighteenth brother is alive, how dare to force this palace to do it like this? what?"
She shook her head, and said, "Ming'er will tell the birth mother of the Eighteenth Sister-in-law and say that the palace has no plans to arrange for the niece to enter the palace again. Whether it is Mengmeng or the two girls in front of the twenty-first brother, neither It will be arranged for the children in this palace."
