In fact, the concubine Bing's family was also very poor. Her father was a soldier who died in a border war with the Huns, and her mother raised her with all her hardships. The suffering during this period is self-evident.

In her impression, her mother relied on being a servant and earning a few small money to maintain the family's basic necessities of life, food and clothing.Even if he ate bran and swallowed vegetables, he couldn't eat enough. However, his mother fell ill due to overwork and overwork, and finally fell ill.

This small family that was already precarious was just like snow and ice, and could not sustain it at all. Since then, she has assumed the heavy responsibility of the family and supported this precarious small family in this precarious situation.It is to inherit the work of the mother and serve as a servant for others.

However, it was extremely beautiful, but she was disdainful by the words and behaviors of the sons of the rich families. She couldn't bear the teasing of these dudes from the rich families.In order to protect this pure and pure body, he had to chop firewood for a living.However, she is a weak woman after all, how can she do such cumbersome physical labor.Looking at his mother who was seriously ill and bedridden, he shook his head helplessly when he thought that he could not make ends meet, and had to push his seriously ill mother along the street to beg for a living.Whenever she recalled that period of tragic years, she would secretly cry.

Just when they were desperate, Yin Yuan, the deacon of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, passed by. Since ancient times, this beauty has come from the people.This Yin Yuan's job is a bit special, he is in charge of searching for beauties for the emperor in the Ministry of Internal Affairs, it can also be said that he is a draft pick, he is rarely in the palace, but he wanders around the market, trying to get something.Passing by today, I saw a young woman knelt on her knees, holding a broken pottery bowl, crying like tears, beside a rotten wooden cart.On it was an old woman moaning seriously ill.Obviously, the mother and daughter came here to beg along the street out of helplessness.

Seeing this, Yin Yuan couldn't help but secretly rejoiced in his heart. This woman was so beautiful that she was trapped in the market. She was really a good horse who died in the stables. This is Bole.Thinking of this, he took out a large ingot of silver and weighed it with his hand, which was worth five taels.Throwing it casually into the bowl held by Concubine Bing, Concubine Bing couldn't help being shocked when she saw this.Hurry up and kowtow to Yin Yuan with gratitude.

Yin Yuan hurriedly intertwined his hands, and said in his mouth, "Girl! Don't be too polite! Don't be too polite! Of course this money must be left for the most needy people!"

Concubine Bing didn't expect that the official on the opposite side would be so generous, and she gave so much, so she felt grateful, "Thank you benefactor! Donate money! My daughter and mother will never forget the official's great kindness." .”

"Girl! It is better to teach a man to fish than to teach him to fish. You can't beg on the street all your life! After all, you can't help the poor!" Yin Yuan also wanted to know about the girl's plan.

Concubine Bing said helplessly: "My lord! My father left early, leaving us orphans and widowed mothers, and my mother is seriously ill. I have to take care of the seriously ill mother, and I have to go out to seek a living. I am a weak woman. I run into walls everywhere I go. Being bullied, I have no choice but to beg along the street to survive, what can I do?"

"Girl! Now there is an opportunity for you to enjoy the glory and wealth. Not only can your mother's illness be cured, but you can also become the object of admiration by everyone. No one will dare to bully you anymore! Are you willing?" Yin Yuan asked. It was a tentative question.

After hearing this, Concubine Bing asked half-believingly, "There is such a good thing in the world?"

"Maybe the girl still doesn't believe it! It's okay! Listen to me and explain slowly! I am the deacon of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and my name is Yin Yuan! I am responsible for finding beauties and beauties for the emperor. You are naturally beautiful and beautiful. I think it should be fine. Was selected into the palace. In addition, I strongly recommend that if you can enter the emperor's eyes, then you will really enjoy endless glory and wealth in this life! Not only that, your mother can also be carefully treated by the imperial physician. Such a good thing, you How can there be any reason to refuse?" Yin Yuan explained in detail.

After hearing this, Concubine Bing calculated in her mind that the emperor's harem was full of beauties, and the emperor was already a dying old man, so entering the palace was equivalent to putting her life's happiness into the cold palace.The intrigue among the concubines and beauties in the harem is inevitable.Fortunately, the emperor's favor is better. If he is left out, he will be like a bird in a cage.You can't live, you can't die.Thinking about it makes me feel miserable all my life.However, she turned around and looked at the seriously ill and moaning mother, and at the big piece of silver in the broken pottery bowl, she understood everything in her heart.The current situation I am in is really extremely embarrassing, I have no other way out, and this is the only way to go!
Concubine Bing thought about it, and said decisively: "Master Yin! My mother and I are willing to go to the palace with you! I hope you will speak a few words of kindness for me in the palace."

Yin Yuan was extremely happy, as soon as the woman agreed and he spoke kindly to himself, once he was favored by the emperor.Then you can also become an official and a noble.This is the best of both worlds.

In this way, Concubine Bing brought her mother into the House of Internal Affairs with Yin Yuan, and after strong recommendation, she passed through layers of selection, and was finally promoted step by step to be a talented person, and she got the chance to meet the emperor as she wished.Unexpectedly, when the Son of Heaven saw this ice-white beauty, he immediately made her a noble concubine.It got its name because of its snow-white skin.It means pure and clean.

Only when Concubine Bing arrived in the harem did she know the meaning of the 72 partial concubines in the Six Courts of the Three Palaces. This hierarchical system is extremely strict. Because of her outstanding beauty, she is envied by others, and there are many people who speak sarcastically about her.The empress is the head of the six palaces, and as a newly promoted concubine, she doesn't know much about the rules in this palace.Be careful at all times, but if you want to commit a crime, there is nothing to worry about, but the empress makes things difficult for you.The queen wanted to clear Concubine Bing out of the harem on the grounds that Concubine Bing was ignorant of world affairs, rules and education.Concubine Bing tried her best to please the explanation, and it didn't help if she used money and silver.The matter soon reached the ears of the emperor.The emperor couldn't help being taken aback, this concubine Bing was his most favored beauty.How could the queen drive her out of the harem because of such a trivial matter?
Then he quickly sent someone to find the queen, and repeatedly told her to take good care of the ice concubine. The queen saw that the emperor favored the ice concubine so much, so she gave her a high look.It is to take care of it against all opinions.The concubines of the Sangong Sixth Court saw that the queen was so kind to this ice beauty, and they all changed their attitude towards her.

The emperor would come to bed with Concubine Bing almost every night, which was undoubtedly a neglect to these concubines.The harem is full of complaints, only the empress knows the emperor's mind best, and the emperor has real feelings for this concubine Bing!She and the emperor are husband and wife.The degree of understanding of him is far better than that of these concubines.

It has to be said that this ice beauty is a peony among thousands of flowers and a colorful phoenix among a hundred birds.It is indeed beautiful and moving.Not to mention that the emperor liked it after seeing it, even if he saw it himself, he wanted to get closer to her.Therefore, it is reasonable for this ice beauty to be favored by the emperor, but what worries her is that this ice beauty is at a young age, about the same age as Princess Furong, but the old emperor is older than her father.This old couple and young wife will definitely not last long, the queen is someone who has been there, and I feel that Concubine Bing must be extremely depressed.They are all women, and she can best understand women's minds.

The empress guessed it was true, this matter has always troubled Concubine Bing, on the one hand, the emperor worked day and night for state affairs, although he came to sleep with her every night, after all, he was old and frail, so he just wanted to be powerless!However, Concubine Bing is in her young age, full of energy and energy.Over time, Concubine Bing had a knot in her heart. Although she was favored by the emperor alone, her heart was longing for that handsome man.

Concubine Bing loves viewing flowers, so she wants to take a walk in the Imperial Garden when she is bored.Looking at the blooming flowers, the dull mood can also be improved.It was in the imperial garden that he saw a tall, strong, handsome and unrestrained young man, and he fell in love with him, but beside him was Princess Furong, who was as beautiful as a fairy, and Concubine Bing mistook Yuanyu for Furong The princess's favorite son-in-law, she sighed again and again in her heart, if such a good man could fall in love with her, it would be great!

Although he thought so in his heart, the expression on his face did not bring out any ambiguity.However, the woman's intuition told her that this handsome young man didn't seem to have the slightest interest in Princess Furong next to him.Instead, he looked straight at her.This is too obvious, it is obviously interesting to me!The more Yuanyu was like this, the more excited Concubine Bing was.

How she wished that this handsome young man could take the initiative to strike up a conversation with her.However, what he waited for was to leave disappointed.From that day on, this Concubine Bing's mind was full of Yuan Yu's shadow.How he wished he could see her again!However, she can't make it too obvious, after all, so many pairs of eyes in the harem are staring at her!If you go to the back garden frequently, it will definitely attract people's attention.Once this matter reaches the emperor's ears, his life will be lost!After all, putting green on the emperor's head is no joke.There is no such precedent in history!Concubine Bing wanted to go to the Imperial Garden to enjoy the flowers every few days, but of course this was not the most important goal.The most important thing is to look forward to the handsome and suave son being there.

As the saying goes, there is no colorful phoenix and two flying wings on the body, but there is a tacit understanding between the hearts.It was a kind of lovesickness and sorrow. From the moment he saw Concubine Bing in the Imperial Garden that day, he felt as if he had been possessed by a demon.Day after day, he was out of his mind, his spirit became in a trance, he couldn't sleep at night, and he didn't think about food or tea.

Madam Xuanya felt that something was wrong with her husband without knowing it, she was listless all day long, and hated all day long, so she went to ask Princess Furong what was going on, but Furong just smiled and didn't answer.What is the reason?But it was incredible, and Xianggong didn't treat him as well as before.Xuanya wept secretly in the dead of night.She began to miss her lover Zhan Rong!
