Chapter 491 [The Legend of Zhen Huan 26]
In Chengqian Palace, Youyou and Fanghua were sitting in the room chatting, when they suddenly heard the eunuch's shrill voice coming from outside: "The emperor has arrived!"
Immediately afterwards, Yinzhen walked straight into the inner room with the gait of a dragon and a tiger.
Youyou looked surprised and asked in confusion, "Your Majesty, why did you come here all of a sudden? Shouldn't you be in the Yangxin Palace reviewing memorials at this time?"
Yinzhen walked over to Youyou and sat down, waving his hand, signaling everyone in the room to leave. Fanghua and other palace maids bowed and left the room.
After the door was closed, Yinzhen explained softly, "I heard that Concubine Xiang came to Chengqian Palace, and I was worried that you would be wronged. Concubine Xiang is quite scheming, and I am afraid that you will find it difficult to deal with her and fall into her trap."
Youyou was shocked after hearing this, and then chuckled, "Yinzhen, is it really okay for you to complain about your concubine in front of her like this? What's more, she has given birth to a daughter for you."
Yinzhen frowned, looking unhappy, and said in a deep voice: "Why not? I really don't like her scheming and calculating appearance all day long."
Youyou couldn't help laughing and said jokingly, "Yinzhen, if Concubine Xiang heard you say this about her, she would probably faint from anger."
Yinzhen shook his head helplessly and sighed, "Alas, if it weren't for the fact that she gave birth to a daughter for me, I would have banished her to the cold palace long ago."
"By the way, what is the matter that she came to see you today?" Yinzhen continued.
"As soon as she saw me, she bowed deeply to me and called me Queen. Then, I asked her what she wanted from me, and she said she wanted to come to me for support. If she could, she could give Wen Yi to me. It's not like I can't have children, so why would I need her daughter?" Youyou said.
"She has a good plan. She thinks that as long as Wen Yi can be adopted by you, she will be able to enjoy wealth and glory in the future." Yinzhen sneered.
"She doesn't even think about what she has done. Does she really think I will accept her daughter?" Youyou said disdainfully.
"It seems that she has become too ambitious. We can't keep her like this. She even dares to set her sights on you." A hint of murderous intent flashed in Yinzhen's eyes.
"Yinzhen, what do you want to do?" Youyou noticed that Yinzhen was acting strangely and asked worriedly.
"Wen Yi can't have a biological mother like this." Yinzhen said slowly.
"Then Yinzhen, do you want Concubine Xiang to die of illness?" Youyou asked tentatively.
"Yes, the royal family cannot keep such a cruel and ruthless person." Yinzhen said in a firm tone.
Youyou was silent for a moment, and finally nodded: "Okay, then let's do as you wish."
Although she knew that Yinzhen's behavior was somewhat cruel, she also understood that Concubine Xiang had touched the bottom line of the royal family. If she was not punished, it would probably lead to a disaster in the future.
"What about Wen Yi? You have to find a foster mother for her." Youyou sighed and asked softly.
Yinzhen was stunned. He had never thought about this question. In his opinion, Wen Yi was just a child who needed someone to take care of her, but he had never thought of giving her to someone else to raise. He frowned and thought about how to answer Youyou's question.
"What do you think, qingqing?" Yinzhen asked hesitantly, hoping that Youyou could give him some advice.
Youyou shook her head, saying that she didn't know what to do. She felt that this was a very difficult matter, because Wen Yi was still too young and needed a careful and patient mother to take care of her. And in the Qiandi, there were not many people who met the requirements.
"I don't have any opinion. Yinzhen, you can choose the people who have been following you in the palace, such as Jingpin and Huafei." After thinking for a moment, Youyou put forward her own idea.
Jingpin and Huafei were both concubines who followed Yinzhen when he was in the palace. They were loyal to Yinzhen and had shown certain management skills when they were in the palace. If any of them were to raise Wen Yi, perhaps her safety and healthy growth could be guaranteed.
However, Yinzhen fell into deep thought. He knew that Jingpin was gentle and kind, and treated servants generously; while Huafei, although favored, had a hot temper and sometimes acted impulsively.
Yinzhen looked at Youyou in confusion and asked, "Qingqing, why do you think Hua Fei is okay? And don't Qingqing and Hua Fei get along?"
Youyou smiled and explained, "Your Majesty, you don't understand Concubine Hua. Although she is domineering, she is sincere to Your Majesty and she longs to have her own child. If Princess Wen Yi is given to her to raise, she will definitely treat her as her own. Moreover, Concubine Hua has a high status in the palace and can provide Wen Yi with better living conditions. As for the conflict between Concubine Hua and me, it is just a small quarrel between us women."
Yinzhen nodded slightly after hearing this and asked again, "What about Concubine Jing? Why do you think she is suitable to raise Wen Yi?"
Youyou answered seriously, "Jingpin is kind and gentle to others. If Wen Yi follows her, she will not suffer. Moreover, Jingpin has lived in the palace for a long time and has no children. She will definitely pour all her motherly love on Wen Yi. In addition, Jingpin has a stable position in the palace and will be able to protect Wen Yi in the future."
Yinzhen nodded with satisfaction, expressing his agreement with Youyou's opinion and praising her for her thoughtful consideration.
