Red Mansion Fanfiction, Yuanchun became a concubine because of her mother's status

Knowing the relationship between Defei and Lin, Yuanchun paid more attention to Defei during court meetings.

Just think back to Concubine De and you will understand.

She is also an old person in the mansion, but she has a son and holds a high position.

If she was the kind of person who had no plans at all, how could she possibly protect her own offspring?

Your Majesty has seven princes, four of whom are still alive. Among them, the third and fifth princes died before they were one year old.

These two princes died when Your Majesty was still a prince.

At that time, Defei, who was just a concubine, protected her own offspring.

The Empress and Consort Shu were both noble ladies in the capital, so it was not surprising that they could protect their own children.

But what about Concubine De?

"Sister Defei, I heard that you are a girl from the Yangzhou Lin family's branch.

I have an aunt who married into the Lin family. I didn’t expect we were related in this way.” Yuanchun mentioned.

During the court meeting, Yuanchun spoke as soon as she saw Concubine De.

After hearing what she said, everyone present turned their attention to her and Concubine De.

Concubine De is already in a high position, and Concubine Xian is a favorite concubine. If these two cooperate...

Well, when it comes to the fact that they are related, the first thing that comes to everyone’s mind is that they are going to work together.

If these two people cooperate, will they still have a place in the harem?

The fourth prince born to Concubine De was originally the heir to the throne.

Now that he has the support of Concubine Xian, it is hard to say who will take the throne.

Even though the Second Prince is the Empress's legitimate son, he is not without a chance as long as there are enough people supporting the Fourth Prince.

After hearing Yuanchun's words, Concubine De's expression froze.

"I do have some relationship with Concubine Xian. But in the capital, the family and in-law relationships are not complicated," said Concubine De.

Why did Concubine Xian mention this?

At the grand court meeting, she mentioned this relationship in front of them. What on earth did she want to do?

At this time, Concubine De had a lot to think about.

She didn't think that Concubine Xian would want to cooperate with her.

"That's right. Sister Defei is just from the side branch of the Lin family, but my aunt is the mistress of the Lin family." Yuanchun said.

The message she sent out should take effect soon.

She wanted to know if Concubine De could still remain so calm if the people from the direct branch of the Lin family really started a fight with the people from the side branches.

You know, many people in the side branches help the people in the main branch to manage the family business.

If it really gets torn apart, the side branches will suffer heavy losses.

As for the direct branch...

After listening to Concubine Xian's words, Concubine De felt threatened.

"I have been in the palace for too long, so I don't know much about the family's affairs. As for Concubine Xian's aunt...

Although she is the mistress of Lin's family, I have never met her." Defei said.

Xianpin mentioned this relationship first, and she felt that she was in a passive position.

Let her think about it. If she were to fight against Yuanchun, then...

Will the people from the legitimate family support her or Concubine Xian?

You have to know that Madam Lin is Concubine Xian’s aunt, and she is just a girl from a side branch.

And their side branches have no close relationship with the main branch.

If Lin Ruhai discovered their branch's actions again, then...

"It doesn't matter if you haven't seen her. My aunt is a very good person and she will definitely take good care of the Lin family." Yuanchun said.

From Concubine De's expression, she could tell that something was wrong.

It seems that her guess was correct.

I really didn't expect it... Even though they are from the same clan, the fight is still so cruel.

Let the direct line of descendants become extinct.

Since ancient times, the wealth obtained by the direct branch is several times that of the side branches. It goes without saying that the side branches are after the direct branch's family property.

"The mother of Concubine De has not entered the palace for some time. Concubine Xian can meet her when the time comes." The queen sitting on the throne spoke.

Looking at Concubine De and Concubine Xian, she suddenly thought of something bad.

you say……

Would it be a good thing if Concubine Xian confronted Concubine De?

She was also worried about the fourth prince under the name of Concubine De, and Concubine Xian's favor. And now, they were against each other.

But maybe they were just doing it for her?

Sooner or later she will find out the relationship between Concubine De and Concubine Xian.

And they just revealed the relationship before she found out?

That's not right, there are so many noble families in the capital, and there are many families who are related by marriage.

"Yes, you can meet her. After all, she is my mother and Concubine Xian's elder." said Concubine De.

She knew that the Queen had noticed her background.

I just hope that everything she has done in Lin’s company has not been discovered yet.

It is not easy for their side branch to produce a concubine. Over the years, she has almost exhausted the efforts of the side branch members.

The Lin family did not make this matter public, and people outside did not notice it.

Among the Lin family's branch, her father was just a small county magistrate.

Among the Lin clan members, the one with the highest official position is Lin Hai, a direct descendant.

Although he did not hold a high official position, he was the emperor's confidant.

"Is that so? Then I'll ask my mother to send an invitation to Madam Lin." Yuanchun said.

Mentioning elders.

When it comes to communication between elders, it’s natural for the elders to step in.

In his early years, Defei's father was just a small county magistrate outside the city of Yangzhou.

Because Defei was conferred the title of concubine in the palace, her father had been transferred to the capital.

However, his official position did not rise much and he remained a county magistrate.

However, as a county magistrate, the closer you are to the capital, the greater your authority.

"My birthday banquet is coming soon, and I would like to invite you two ladies to come to the palace for a gathering." said the Queen.

It was difficult for her to see clearly the relationship between Concubine De and Concubine Xian.

But it’s different when you look at the two ladies.

"As for the Empress' banquet, all the wives of officials in the capital must be invited to the palace. Then it will be very popular." Yuanchun said.

It doesn't seem wise for her to confront Concubine De at this time?

In addition to Concubine De, there is also a Queen Mother who is eyeing her covetously.

However, even if she didn't meet Concubine De, wouldn't Concubine De stare at her?

That may not be the case in her opinion.

"Yes, the Duchess must also miss the Queen." Defei followed.

Thinking of the Queen's power, she realized that now was not the time to confront Concubine Xian.

Even if she defeated Concubine Xian, the Queen was still a tough nut to crack.

As the Empress of the Central Palace, her legitimate son has the highest chance of succeeding to the throne as long as nothing goes wrong.

She should now focus her attention on the Second Prince.

Although His Majesty is tired of the Queen, he still has some father-son affection for the Second Prince.

If Your Majesty was not disappointed with the Second Prince, it would be difficult for the Fourth Prince to ascend to the throne.

Thinking of this, Concubine De suddenly grabbed Concubine Xian's hand.

"Sister Xianpin, we must have a good talk when mother and others come into the palace," said Concubine De.

Following Defei's actions, Yuanchun already knew what she was thinking.

She wants to reconcile?
