The ghost king and princess of Feng Qingtian

Chapter 40
It rained heavily at night, Yun Yuhong was lying on the bed, listening to the sound of rain outside the window, tossing and turning, unable to fall asleep, but the person who used to sleep well had insomnia on the first day after returning to the palace.

Recalling that after the family of three finished dinner, Yun Yuhong asked if the Jingyuan Hou Mansion had visited the queen mother in recent years, who knew that the queen couldn't hold back tears again, and Qianzong also sighed aside.The empress held Yun Yuhong's hand and wept while arguing for Jing Yuanhou: "It's the empress mother who doesn't live up to her expectations. Don't blame them. She's a big family." After an hour, Yun Yuhong didn't dare to ask any more questions, so she begged Qian Zong to accompany her mother to visit relatives in Jingyuanhou Mansion tomorrow.

When leaving the queen's bedroom, Yun Yuhong pulled Defu to ask, and Defu also sighed lightly, and only said that he would let Yun Yuhong go and see for himself, and what he knew was limited, so he shook his head and left.

Regarding Jingyuanhou's mansion, Yun Yuhong didn't expect to be able to help her. After all, they were not close to her in the past. However, they were always close relatives of the mother and queen, and she didn't want the mother to be sad. How to treat Jingyuanhou These relatives in the government are indeed a headache.But thinking about Bai Ziyu's words and Bai Ziyu's experience, these aristocratic families value the inheritance of descendants and family glory the most. For these, they can give up everything. Nor is it impossible.Yun Yuhong thought for a long time, and finally came to the conclusion that if they think about family affection, then they are still her relatives, and she must give up her life to protect each other. If Jing Yuanhou is really so ruthless, then the long-term pain is not as good as the short-term pain, and it can be solved once It's straightforward, but the queen mother is afraid that she will be sad for some days.After thinking it over, she felt relaxed, and Yun Yuhong fell into a deep sleep.

The rain has stopped in the morning, and the sky after the rain is very bright, with a little morning light. The air is very fresh, which makes people feel bored.

Yun Yuhong, who didn't sleep for a long night, was in good spirits, and after breakfast, she took the queen out of the palace and went straight to Jingyuan Hou's mansion.On the way, the queen could not hide her excitement at seeing her relatives, but Yun Yuhong held the queen's hand tightly and said to herself: If you still think about family affection today, I will give you a chance to wait, but if you make my kind mother sad, I will not have any relatives like you in the future, don't blame me for being cruel.

About half an hour later, a group of people came to the gate of Jingyuanhou's mansion, Jingyuanhou and his family had already greeted them outside.Yun Yuhong looked at her grandfather carefully. He is over 50 years old this year, but he is tall and majestic, energetic, and his eyes are like torches.The grandmother Mrs. Fang who stood beside him was a few years younger than him, with a round face, thin eyebrows and fine eyes, and a ruddy complexion. She seemed to be smiling even when she wasn't smiling, adding a bit of kindness for no reason.Followed by the eldest uncle Zhao Gang, the second uncle Zhao Yi, the eldest aunt Li Shi, the second aunt Sun Shi, and the cousins ​​she still can't name.

After meeting each other, Yun Yuhong's mother and daughter were welcomed into the house of Mrs. Fang in the inner courtyard, while Jing Yuanhou and the two uncles retreated with a few cousins ​​after saying a few polite words, leaving only The woman in the next room spoke.

Mrs. Fang seemed to love her daughter very much, and she pulled the Queen to ask her how warm she was. The Queen had a rare happy smile on her face, and she was immersed in the warmth of her relatives.Yun Yuhong was ignored and watched from the sidelines, she didn't want to break this beauty, but unfortunately a fake is a fake, and you have to see it clearly sooner or later, then the long-term pain is worse than the short-term pain.Yun Yuhong has always been a person who knows how to judge the situation and act decisively.

Yun Yuhong smiled and interjected: "Why is the queen mother only talking to my grandmother, and not helping me introduce a few cousins, but also letting us sisters get closer."

The lady on the side hurriedly continued: "Look, we only care about the joy of the Queen's return and forgot about it. The one in red is your first cousin Ruomei, the one in white is your second cousin Ruolan, and the one in pink is your third cousin." Cousin Ruozhu, your second cousin and third cousin are the daughters of your second uncle, and there is a younger cousin named Ruoju who belongs to your third uncle's family and was taken to the border by your third uncle's family."

Several girls came forward to greet Yun Yuhong again. Yun Yuhong looked at the beautiful and dignified Miss Zhao, took her hand and smiled and said, "My cousin is really pretty, but have you promised her?"

Miss Zhao was stunned, and the room immediately became quiet.

Mrs. Fang said to Eldest Miss Zhao: "It's boring for us people to talk to you young people. Ruomei, take the eldest princess and younger sisters to the garden to look at the flowers."

Yun Yuhong said indifferently: "I'm not interested in flowers or anything, I'd better accompany the queen mother and chat with the old lady."

Mrs. Fang wanted to say something again, but Yun Yuhong's special status was beyond her ability to say, and seeing her unshakable attitude, it was useless to say anything, so she asked her granddaughters and servants to retreat.

The queen also seemed to feel that something bad was going to happen, so she quietly held Yun Yuhong's hand.

Mrs. Fang sighed, and said to the queen: "I'm doing this for your own good. Although you are a queen, you have no children. Once the emperor..., your situation will be bad. It's better to find someone A noble concubine with a son joins hands to push her son to the throne, and he will also miss your kindness from now on, so you will have no worries for at least the rest of your life."

"Grandma doesn't have to worry too much about this. After all, the queen mother is also the aunt of the princes. When it comes to such a day, the new emperor doesn't say whether he is filial. You are still young, maybe you can give me a little brother."

Mrs. Fang's face turned cold: "As a mother, I naturally think about my daughter, and I don't want to do that, but you see she hasn't moved in the past few years, I'm afraid she is too old to have children. You must know that other people's children will not treat you well for no reason, you should think of a way out earlier."

"Then what should mother think?" the queen asked Mrs. Fang holding back her tears.

Mrs. Fang saw that the queen was a little loose, so her expression looked better, "Don't be sad, there is no other way. Among the four noble concubines, only Concubine Xian and Concubine Hui are the most powerful, and Concubine Xian is an unreasonable concubine. With an annoying personality, I think Concubine Hui is more suitable."

"Does Concubine Hui agree to adopt the son under the mother's name?" Yun Yuhong interjected again.

Mrs. Fang choked for a moment, the following words were a bit difficult to say, and she looked at Mrs. Fang.The eldest lady continued: "Eldest Princess thinks too much, of course Concubine Hui is not willing to adopt her son. We sum up this way, your mother please give up the position to Concubine Hui, and then..."

"All of you, have you ever asked the father and the mother, the queen is innocent, why did you ask to abdicate, the abolition of the queen is a national event, have you ever asked the father's consent, the mother appeared as the master of the harem, The harem is still walking on thin ice, and you have to forbear and give in. If there is no more queen, how will you let her survive. Finally, I would like to ask, have you ever considered me? Once my mother is abolished, how will you let me deal with it?" Yun Yuhong stood up and said angrily to the people in Yuanhou's residence.

Mrs. Fang and Mrs. Da were stunned. They really hadn't thought about Yun Yuhong.Seeing that the situation was not right, the second lady hastily added: "The eldest princess is already 13 years old, and she can stay in the palace for a few more years..."

"It's enough, I'm not up to date, but I won't treat Hong'er badly, so don't mention this matter again, I have been out for too long, let's go back to the palace now." Temper, but he rarely loses his temper, which doesn't mean he has no temper, especially after touching her beloved daughter, let alone.Her natal family favors boys over girls, and she knows that she doesn't like Hong'er, but she can't ignore Hong'er's interests at all. What her natal family did has disappointed her so much. Thinking about the kindness of nurturing for more than ten years, but today's conversation made her feel cold.

Yun Yuhong didn't want her mother to stay here any longer, so she gave the order to go back to the palace and pulled the queen to get up and go out. Mrs. Fang and a group of people hurriedly chased her out.As soon as he left the corner gate of the inner courtyard, Yun Yuhong met Jing Yuanhou and his two sons who were waiting there.

Marquis Jingyuan held his father's airs, and said to the queen with a calm face: "Don't forget, you are the daughter of the Jingguo Mansion, and this family has raised you for more than ten years. You have to think about the long-term of the family."

"Presumptuous, Marquis Jingyuan, don't forget that standing in front of you is not only your daughter, but also the queen. The long-term development of the majestic Jingyuanhou Mansion depends on the sacrifice of the daughter and the nepotism. Is the man dead? This kind of Hou Mansion is not far from decline." Yun Yuhong stood in front of the queen mother, blocking Jing Yuanhou's censure of the queen.

Marquis Jingyuan raised his hands angrily, but considering that Yun Yuhong's identity could not be revealed, Yun Yuhong sneered and pulled the queen away in a big stride.

In the carriage back to the palace, the Queen held Yun Yuhong and cried bitterly. Yun Yuhong could only pat her on the back and comfort her: "Don't cry, Queen Mother, you still have Father and I, we will always be by your side You, we won't want you."

The queen kept asking: "They are my relatives, how could they treat me like this?"

Yun Yuhong helped the queen up, and wiped her tears while saying: "Once interests are involved, many things can become very complicated, and many things can also become very simple. They just gave up their relatives for their own interests. It’s all about giving up this family relationship. But since they gave up first, you don’t want to provoke them in the future. You’re not in the same way, let them make trouble for themselves, we live our way, remember, from now on Jingyuan waits The government has nothing to do with us." Yun Yuhong's tone was soft, but his meaning was extremely indifferent.

The queen looked at Yun Yuhong in a daze, shocked by her daughter's indifference, but she couldn't say anything against it.
