Chapter 46 Chunjia's Specialty

Yan Yin was slightly startled, a little unresponsive.

He subconsciously held his breath and listened to the emperor's slow voice: "This sculpture has a long-standing reputation in Qing history. Someone said, 'There are sixty out of three hundred feather insects, and Haidongqing is the most handsome. Those who lived in prudence for a long time asked Costin for too much, provoked civil uprisings, and almost subjugated the country indirectly; there are also imperial edicts that can pardon Costin for all crimes... it is rare."

"Haitongqing is fast and alert, and hard to catch. The old proverb says, 'It's rare to get an eagle if it's close to death.'

Yan Yin felt that he understood, and said softly: "Your Majesty thinks that the concubine Xian is like Hai Dongqing, although she is rebellious, once tamed, she can be of help, so..."

Playing hard to get?

"..." Chunjia slowly opened his eyes and said, "Have you seen Hai Dongqing?"

Yan Yin said: "I have seen this in the Royal Beast Garden before."

"That's the one who survived." Chunjia said in a flat tone, "During the process of boiling the eagle, not a few died... If you use Haiqing as a minion, you don't care. If you die, you just catch it again. But if you really like it Haiqing, when you meet someone who would rather die than submit, how can you not break the shackles and let him go free?"

He sighed leisurely, and said, "Concubine Xian was very favored when she was in the boudoir. After being changed, she came to the imperial capital. She said that she was living under the roof of others, but her mother's family bribed her with money, and her aunt and uncle's family did not treat her badly. During this time, he was taking the face of Duke Yi, and Shun Jieyu was protecting him, so he did not suffer any real humiliation or grievance."

Everyone has different experiences and views on things differently.

From Yun Fenghuang's point of view, she is a miserable woman.

But to Chunjia, the twists and turns encountered by Concubine Xian are nothing compared to what he has encountered in the palace for the past few years.

Even if Yun Fenghuang's first entry into the palace falls into the hands of a master like Yuan Niangniang, at least there is still Ji's power to take advantage of, and the situation that the whole palace is dissatisfied with the Dendrobium Palace can be used.

After all, it is not a doomsday situation.

This concubine is not the kind of person who really kneels down at all. Her obedience is a show of weakness by dragging the elders to act coquettishly and pretending to be wronged by the prosperous family. There is a bottom line.

If you exceed it, you start to think about dying together.

She has never experienced the humbleness of trying to survive at all costs in real despair.

But in Chunjia, in the years before he came to power, if there was a prince, he might die young.

Even if there is no prince, if his restlessness is noticed a little bit, the one waiting for him will definitely be killed.

There is no solution to these difficulties, he can only endure and wait.

If the Ji family wanted to change the emperor suddenly, Chunjia would have no choice.

The emperor said, "The concubine Xian looks like she has long sleeves, is good at dancing, is sleek and sophisticated, but in fact she is quite rebellious in her bones, she would rather bend than bend."

"She is someone who has never really compromised, and at this age, life and death are the most despised."

"I don't want to break with her, and I don't want her to make a decisive decision... I can only give in."

He was very calm when he said this, and he didn't feel the humiliation and unwillingness of being an emperor but having to bow his head to a bad-tempered concubine. After all, for Chunjia, what he was most used to was patience and waiting.

When he was young, he carried the advice of Concubine Fuyangzhuang, and lived in fear of losing his honor and status if he was rejected by his aunt; when he was young, he looked at the Empress Dowager Yuan who kept saying she didn't like Yuan Niangniang, but she cared for her niece in every possible way, and his heart tossed and turned. I want to ask who is my aunt who loves me more, but I have not said anything until now; after ascending the throne, I need to endure more.

Need to wait longer.

Those eight years of torment turned Yuan Niangniang from a savage but naive and lovely prostitute of a famous family into a disgraced woman in the palace. Those years until now are filled with hopeless darkness and coldness every day and night.

...but he finally came.

He has successively obtained the feudal sonship, the title of vassal king, the Ninth Five-Year Supreme, and even the imperial power that he had longed for.

So Chunjia doesn't care about forbearance and waiting. What makes people give up and disappoints people is that there is no harvest after hard work.

If you know that there must be gains, or if you firmly believe that you will gain, then all the hard work, hardships and even grievances and humiliations before this will be meaningful.

Chunjia thought calmly, since he wanted to be the son of the prince, the king of the vassal, the son of heaven, and truly rule the world... He worked hard for this and succeeded, so why did he want to be in love with Yun Fenghuang? Can't bear to wait?

He has always been patient.

Also good at being patient.

That's how the Ji family was planted, why couldn't Yun Fenghuang?

She was thinking about Qi Jiulu again, now that he is in the deep palace and that man is in the army, he is facing her day and night.

Concubine Xian is still so young, counting the time she spends with Qi Jiulu, it's only about ten years, including the ignorant childhood.

And he and Concubine Xian still have many ten years, which he can afford.

Time is the fairest, the imprints given to each other by childhood sweethearts will never fade away, but they can be covered up by stronger imprints, as if they have never been there before—for example, Yunfeng Huang's to Yuan Niangniang.

He can also replace Qi Jiulu.

And her suspicion and distrust can also be proved in time.

So although Chunjia was actually very angry when he realized that Yun Fenghuang was trying to harm Queen Mother Yuan this time, after thinking about it, he decided to calm down.

The grudge between Concubine Xian and Empress Dowager Yuan is very deep now, he has no way to persuade Empress Dowager Yuan to treat this concubine as her own, and it is impossible for Concubine Xian to let go of her past suspicions towards the Queen Mother.

It's meaningless to force Concubine Xian to admit her mistakes.

Because Yun Fenghuang will definitely retaliate back after the incident.

In a hurry, she didn't even consider the consequences.

What good would that do him?

The conditions for suppressing Concubine Xian and not giving her a threat to the Empress Dowager are what he told Yan Yin to "cook the eagle". Concubine Xian is not him, Concubine Xian is very impatient.

After only a few months into the palace, she has been promoted to the concubine position and is still dissatisfied. Can you expect her to imitate Chunjia and wait for the opportunity for many years after her wings are broken and the palace gate is locked?

She will probably choose to put all her eggs in one basket and pull an opponent who can be pulled to die together.

What good would that do for Chunjia?

Like many men with both mothers and wives throughout the ages, he also hopes that the Empress Dowager Yuan and his favorite concubine will be like mothers and daughters and cooperate seamlessly.

But right now the conflict between the two parties cannot be reconciled in a short period of time, Chun Jia does not want any party to make trouble.

Besides coaxing from both sides, what else can I do?

Although it is still recognized as a "bloody" and "young and vigorous" age, but after eight years of forbearance, Chunjia's steadiness has settled down in his bones, and he has long since lacked the impulsiveness and recklessness of his peers.

His outward emotions have intentions, and he will never really allow emotions to dominate his actions.

"...This is really wronging Your Majesty." Yan Yin was silent for a while, then sighed, "But Concubine Wang Xian will understand His Majesty's painstaking efforts sooner rather than later."

What kind of blessing is it that the master of Xuanqing Palace is so blessed to be treated so favorably by the emperor?

But the one who is still not satisfied, is still aggrieved and feels wronged... But he doesn't know that the emperor is the one who has really been wronged!

Yan Yin really had nothing to say.

"I am the only male heir of Fuyang Duanwang. At that time, my aunt had no children. Before she died, Concubine Zhuang still didn't think that I could sit back and relax. She repeatedly told me to concentrate on my studies and not slack off in the slightest." Chun Jia leaned back to Che Zhen, Closing her eyes again, she said in a soft voice, "I was ignorant at the beginning, but as I grew up, I realized that the concubine was painstaking. She was worried that she would have a status, but her virtue would not match her, which would lead to disaster."

Although he was Yan Yin's confidant, of course he would not speak out his thoughts about the grievances between the concubine and the Queen Mother Yuan.

The premise of being an elder, Chunjia always chooses to say things nicely.

"Concubine Xian has only been by my side for a few years. Although I have favoritism towards her, it will not break the rules because of this. She grew up in a favored environment, so she is not so easy to be flattered."

In fact, Chunjia feels that Yunfenghuang is pretty good, compared to his Sangong Sixth Courtyard, it is definitely a unique treatment-but Yunfenghuang's ex-fiancé is obedient to her, and dares to do anything for this Qingmei. His own mother is no match, and the family that raised him can abandon the kind that just wants to take Qingmei away.

In contrast, Yun Fenghuang really didn't feel how good Chunjia treated him...

After all, Qi Jiulu is so obedient, she was moved, she was moved, and the continuous training did not fail - well, she firmly believes that the first credit for the good treatment of her predecessor and current one is her good training.

It's not that these two love her inherently.

This kind of indulgence and preference is the result of her hard work, and she enjoys it as a matter of course.

"I have never done anything to make a virtuous concubine completely devoted to me, nor have I made any achievements to make everyone in the world admire me, nor have I accumulated a long-term relationship with her, so naturally I don't expect her to suddenly have a deep-rooted love for me after a big change in temperament. .”

Among the many concubines in the Sangong and Six Courtyards, did any of them fall in love with the emperor at first sight?

Chunjia believes there is.

But it is often based on awe of his identity, admiration of his appearance, fascination with manners and conversation, and confusion of gentle appearance. Such concubines are either of low birth, or relatively simple, not very determined, and easily confused by foreign objects , Bound by the rules.

It is the kind that can be won purely by status, appearance and etiquette.

But like Yun Fenghuang, you still want to convince her without much skill? It's good that she doesn't want to climb on top of you.

It's not just Yun Fenghuang, but anyone who comes from a relatively high background and is carefully raised by his family, at least so far, I'm afraid no one is really devoted to Chunjia.

Like Wei Hengyan, the first time she met the saint, she was full of affection... But as long as Yun Fenghuang is present, she will definitely watch Chunjia with her eyes and nose, nose, nose, nose and heart, and she will never take a second look!

Because in her opinion, she likes the emperor, but she doesn't like it to the point where she competes with concubine Xian for favor.

Chunjia is well aware of this and accepts it well.

He was instilled by Concubine Zhuang very early on in the idea that his status is unreliable and that he can only rely on his own strength, and he also believes that he cannot do without his own hard work, so he doesn't expect anything from the sky. The cake thing.

He believes more and looks forward to the rewards after his efforts.

Take it majestically, with a clear conscience.

The emperor glanced at the attendant beside him, and said in a calm tone, "This is the case with the concubine Xian, and so are you... I don't want to betray anyone, and I hope you don't want to betray me!"

Yan Yin listened, at first he felt aggrieved for the emperor, but when he heard the words, his heart was shaken, and he knelt down subconsciously: "The three lives of slaves are lucky, and I have to serve Mingjun!"

Although he also knew that as a servant, it was impossible for him to be treated in the same way as a concubine who arouses the heart of the emperor, but a monarch who is willing to be strict with himself and treat others leniently, even if it is just such a gesture, is not good for him. He is such a close servant, after all, he is very good.

Who wouldn't want to be with a master who is willing to sympathize with him?

...Chunjia calmly went to court, and Yun Fenghuang, who was pretending to be asleep, got up and sat up, feeling that the whole person was not well!

What is the emperor thinking? !

Why is he so patient? ? ?

After struggling for a long time, seeing the time when it was time to dress up and go out, Yun Fenghuang who was sitting in front of the dressing table was silent for a while, and finally sighed: "Let the people below take a rest first, and we will stop for the time being regarding Concubine Xuan and Concubine Rui. "

I just promised the emperor to come, I have to put on a show, I can't commit crimes against the wind, right?

Besides, I need to cooperate with these two concubines for a while, so that I can show weakness to Chunjia... Just think about the overall situation and let's not care about them for now.

Yun Fenghuang comforted himself in this way, and ordered angrily, "The Huzhu Palace's contact with Yuan Yuniang must first find a reason to stabilize the person... Anyway, these people, including the loving mother, the empress dowager, can't have any trouble recently!"

Otherwise, Chunjia would be the first to suspect her!

Why is this palace so miserable?

Concubine Xian, who was considered by Yan Yin to be deeply blessed, sighed, she is really miserable.
