The Concubine of the Red Chamber

Princess Baoqing ignored her, and Jia Lan felt a little more relaxed temporarily. She knew her current situation very clearly. What's more, in the palace, the reality is always more complicated than imagined. Even if he doesn't want to admit defeat, Jia Lan thinks that he still has something to learn. Without learning much about the noble ladies of this era, Jia Lan thought that even if she was not free, even if she was in danger, she still wanted to master more skills with Hao Hao when she arrived in the palace.

When the book is in use, there is little hatred. If Jia Lan had known that he would be reborn, Jia Lan would have worked hard to learn more useful knowledge.But it's too late to regret it now. Since there is such a good learning opportunity, Jia Lan is unwilling to give up. Maybe she still can't be a talented woman in the end, but she also wants to learn to appreciate it.

"Since the Jia family is acting well, let's just leave it like this for the time being!" Concubine Zhen listened to Nanny Ping's reply with her eyes closed, and said wearily.

Nanny Ping looked at her master distressedly, she knew that his wife had brought Miss Fifth to Beijing, and she had already been elected in the next year's general election.Concubine Zhen was the one she saw growing up since she was a child, and Nanny Ping knew that it was not easy for her to walk this step, so she couldn't help but feel a little unhappy.Having been with Concubine Zhen for so long, how could Nanny Ping not understand what kind of disaster would be brought to her master if a fifth young lady who looked similar to the young lady entered the palace?

"Mommy, tell me..." Would it be better for Fifth Sister not to give birth?Concubine Zhen couldn't help thinking in her heart that after following Emperor Longchang for so many years, Concubine Zhen thought she knew this man very well. I have seen this man's tenderness and sweetness, and I have also seen his cold-blooded ruthlessness. Since my aunt has such thoughts, and the fifth younger sister has such a look, she will not stop it, and she cannot stop it.But she couldn't do it just by sitting there waiting to die.And even if it's not for her own sake, but only for her own pair of children, the fifth younger sister cannot give birth to a prince and daughter with the blood of the Zhen family.

Mrs. Zhen and Emperor Longchang's biological mother were close friends in their boudoirs when they were young, and Emperor Longchang's biological mother was not favored. When the late emperor was in power, he loved the jealous imperial concubine very much. The Zhen family is not powerful, and the family is not well-off, so Mrs. Zhen once entered the palace and served as the nurse of Emperor Longchang for the sake of love and career, and she took good care of him.Later, Mrs. Zhen's two sons and the daughter who was two months older than Emperor Longchang later served in front of Emperor Longchang, who was only a prince at that time, because of his mother.The girl from the Zhen family is beautiful and enchanting, and she has a friendship with Emperor Longchang since childhood. Although the daughter of the Zhen family was not able to be a concubine at that time, Emperor Longchang had already left her the position of side concubine. , Emperor Longchang was conspired by the prince at that time, contracted the epidemic, under the care of the palace servants and the imperial physician, he survived, but the daughter of the Zhen family, who was still a female official at the time, contracted the disease because of her personal servants, but did not survive ... This matter was a great regret in Emperor Longchang's heart, and even though Concubine Zhen was three points similar to his eldest sister, his favor has not declined for many years.

Concubine Zhen knew this matter very well. Before she was accepted into the door, because the Zhen family had no more suitable girl than herself, even if she was dissatisfied in her heart, Mrs. Zhen gritted her teeth and said something about Emperor Longchang's preferences. Let her not fall out of favor after entering the mansion. Later, Emperor Longchang was named the crown prince and succeeded in succeeding to the throne. The pair of children under Concubine Zhen's knees are the foundation of her foothold. The next sister, but at that time she was already married and didn't know much about her, but the news that occasionally came to her ears was that this sister had no salt and a spoiled temperament... Although Concubine Zhen was honorable in the palace, but I also know that my aunt has a lot of face in front of Emperor Longchang, and I respect her, but now... Concubine Zhen almost fainted in anger when she thought of the news that her aunt had finally sent someone to send it in.

Concubine Zhen thought that she had done enough for the Zhen family over the years, but she was treated like this. She felt sad and indignant, but she didn't want to bear it anymore.A younger sister who looks similar to the first sister has been hidden by the family for so many years. Concubine Zhen is not a fool. How could she not know that the Zhen family is unreliable, but the children are still underage. She can't turn her face around either, after Zhen Fei secretly hated her for several days, she finally took advantage of the opportunity that Emperor Longchang was no longer in the palace, and summoned her aunt and sister to the palace to have an audience.

"Mother, please get up!" Concubine Zhen's eyes darkened the moment she saw the beautiful sister-in-law, and she clenched her fists, trying to control her emotions. "What is mother doing? Why do you need this screwdriver salute in your own palace?"

"Your Majesty, courtesy is undeniable. Although it is my own mother and daughter, people's words are awesome after all." Mrs. Zhen took her daughter and insisted on saluting.She didn't think that this daughter would have any good intentions, but since she dared to bring her into the palace, she had the ability to escape unscathed.

Concubine Zhen lowered her eyes, filled with hatred in her heart. Apart from her innocence at the beginning, she hadn't shown any disrespect to her these years, but in the end...although she had a thousand thoughts in her heart, she showed half of her face, showing her admiration. Lips respectfully said: "What mother said is true."

"The empress occupies a high position in the palace, and there are six princes and three emperors and daughters beside her knees. I can feel relieved. Your father said that he will worship the ancestors at the end of the year and officially record your aunt as the second wife on the genealogy." Madam Zhen said to the old lady. Concubine Zhen was not afraid, so she was very generous in her words.

Concubine Zhen's eyes turned red when she heard the words, she stood up and owed Mrs. Zhen, and said: "Daughter... I can't be filial at the knees of my parents. I feel so regretful. You can still think about me like this. My aunt’s status can be regarded as mentioning the status of the sixth prince, I really don’t know what to say!” If it weren’t for you, an old bastard, when I entered the prince’s mansion, my aunt was already a serious second wife, Instead of bearing the name of the second wife, she is still a concubine.mention now?Concubine Zhen knew in her heart that she was playing tricks on herself.So the son was mentioned only, the intention was that the father had written about this matter when the son was born, not after waiting for more than ten years to get such a result,

Old Madam Zhen pursed her lips, then she stopped talking about this topic, and started talking about interesting things in the mansion, most of them were the children of the second elder brother's family who was a compatriot of Concubine Zhen's mother.

"This is the fifth younger sister!" Concubine Zhen knew what she meant. In the past, maybe she would be manipulated by her aunt because of her aunt and elder brother, but now that she has a pair of children, her heart has long been biased, and she patiently babbled. After a while, I summoned Zhen Xianya, the fifth girl of Zhenwu, and after looking at it carefully, my heart sank even more. Although she deliberately dressed in a clumsy manner, she was indeed more similar to her eldest sister than herself, at least five or six points similar.Thinking that she was carefully raised by her aunt, the last bit of luck in Concubine Zhen's heart disappeared. This girl will definitely enter the palace and be favored.

Zhen Xianya let Concubine Zhen scrutinize her generously, and showed a sweet smile. The pair of dimples on her face dazzled Concubine Zhen even more. That dazzling woman turned out to be ten to ten.Zhen Xianya said softly: "At home, I often hear my father talking about the second sister. The second sister has been very intelligent since she was a child, but the younger sister was born too late and has never met each other. I feel very regretful. Today I met my sister. You are so kind, sister, you are so beautiful!"

"Look at this sweet little mouth!" Concubine Zhen smiled when she heard the words. The women in the palace would already know how to act, so she reached out her hand to the host, Zhen Xianya, pointingly, and said loudly: "My sister thinks that this palace is amiable. Gong also thinks my sister is amiable, wishing she could always be by her side in the future!"

"Sister..." Fifth Miss Zhen turned her head shyly, her shy look made Concubine Zhen dizzy for a while.

"Knowing that my sister is coming, I have prepared a lot of things. Nanny Ping, please take my sister to have a look. I have something to say to my mother." Concubine Zhen reached out to touch Zhen Xianya, then smiled.

Zhen Xianya looked at Mrs. Zhen, and Mrs. Zhen nodded, and Zhen Xianya took the serving nurse and Mrs. Ping to the inner hall.

"What do you want to say?" Mrs. Zhen asked after seeing her daughter leave.She suddenly felt a little uncertain about Concubine Zhen's thoughts, she thought she was the one who disliked her daughter's entry into the palace, but this behavior was not the case, she was even more jealous, but she also seemed to listen to what she said.

Concubine Zhen sighed softly, blinked her eyes, and shed two lines of clear tears. She dipped the handkerchief, her eyes turned red and she choked up, "Daughter knows what mother meant by sending her sister into the palace this time. Even if the mother doesn't believe it, to tell the truth, the daughter will send word back to the palace that it's time to enter the palace."

Mrs. Zhen looked at Concubine Zhen in amazement and asked, "What's the meaning of your mother? Your sister will only enter Beijing when she is old enough to be drafted."

"The family doesn't talk about the two families, and the daughter doesn't talk falsely. Your Majesty has been on the throne for five years. Before that, the Empress Dowager passed away. This is the first draft. I don't expect to be favored, even for the sake of the sixth prince, my daughter is also looking forward to another favored one in the family." Concubine Zhen saw that Mrs. Zhen didn't believe it, so she said: "My daughter knows that mother doesn't believe it very much, but just let me know." It was the younger sister who entered the palace and was favored to give birth to the dragon son, and she is at least ten years behind the sixth prince, so what hinders my daughter from being with the sixth prince?"

Mrs. Zhen frowned when she heard the words, she was a little confused for a moment, she didn't know whether she should believe it or not?

"Whether mother believes it or not, you will understand after a while. The daughter is not only the daughter of the Zhen family, but also the biological mother of the sixth prince and the third prince. There are many beautiful women in the palace, but there are no younger sisters. Compared to being favored by others, it is more beneficial for my own family to be favored by my daughter." Concubine Zhen pursed her lips, she did not expect Mrs. Zhen to believe these words, but let her be less wary, so that I could treat her that The fifth younger sister started and continued: "The prince in the palace is naturally the more the daughter of the Zhen family can produce, the better. Even if the daughter has her own thoughts, she still has some vision."

"Your Majesty is so smart, I really don't know what to say. The Zhen family is the sixth prince's backing." Although Mrs. Zhen didn't believe it, she would still say good things.
