Yuanchun of the Red Chamber is not a virtuous concubine

However, the unloved concubines in the palace are not sad, but those ministers and court wives who came to the New Year banquet are embarrassing. If there is a garden in the suburbs, you can go to the garden after the banquet is over. Rest for one night, but many people don't have gardens in the suburbs, so they can only rush back overnight.

The distance from the inner city to the imperial palace is nothing compared to the distance from the inner city to the suburbs today. No matter how much you complain, you have to come. No one dares to complain, but the other brothers of the emperor It's been a long time since I saw the Supreme Emperor, and the Emperor is also treacherous, not just to stop them in Changchun Garden, but to assign errands to them in a serious manner, so generous that the Supreme Emperor can't even criticize the emperor for his harsh treatment of his brothers.They were so busy that their feet didn't touch the ground, they wanted to do it badly on purpose, the emperor was near the Yuanmingyuan, and turned around and complained to the Supreme Emperor.

Naturally, they dare not go too far. If you want to say that the emperor can rest assured of them, but none of the adjutants are the emperor's people, and they are obviously vigilant against them, but they can't also complain to the emperor. After all, the emperor has nothing else to do except this. They didn't treat them badly, but they also lost the power to take more things that didn't belong to them from the treasury and the Ministry of Internal Affairs.

The Empress Dowager came out early in the evening, her complexion was ruddy than before, and the Emperor also went forward to help the Empress Dowager to sit down, but the Empress Dowager looked tired because she was worried about the Empress Dowager's body. Worried, the Empress Dowager is also thinking that after the annual banquet is over, she will invite an imperial doctor to visit the Empress Dowager.

Then the empress, the imperial concubine, and all the concubines began to enter the arena. The Qingyan area of ​​Jiuzhou is very spacious. From the entrance, there are banquet tables for the family members of the lower palace and all the ministers of the royal family and nobles. It is very grand. Your Majesty After speaking a few words with the Supreme Emperor, another important prince in the clan congratulated the emperor and the Supreme Emperor on the New Year, followed by a song and dance performance. Nowadays, such a big banquet is also an important occasion for the emperor to appease the ministers and clans. The sense of presence is not high, the highest is that the queen and the empress dowager have to deal with the congratulations of other wives, and few people go past the queen and directly congratulate the imperial concubine and the concubine.

Yuan Chun doesn't like to deal with these things, and she is an imperial concubine, and the queen is here, and she has no intention of competing with the queen, so why should she show her presence at this time, but this year the old lady also entered the palace, bringing Mrs. Xing and After the queen said a few words, she walked towards Yuanchun.

"Greetings to the imperial concubine and empress."

"Why does the old lady need to salute, she really shouldn't." Yuan Chun helped the old lady who was about to salute, and said.

The old lady hadn't seen Yuan Chun for a long time, and she was a little excited. In the past, Yuan Chun, as the prince, Shu Fujin, was not very conspicuous. Even if he later became the prince, he was in a group of people, all of whom were side Fujins. Talking and laughing together, there is no space to talk alone, and the old lady is not easy to pass.

Last year was originally the most beautiful time in Yuanchun, but Yuanchun thought that the old lady was already old and there were many rules in entering the palace. Annoying things, so I didn't go to the palace to see the empress, thinking that I could see her at the New Year's banquet, but I didn't expect that the old lady happened to be ill last year, and she couldn't get up for the New Year's banquet It was the first time for the old lady to see Yuan Chun wearing imperial concubine court clothes, so she was naturally very excited.

The old lady stood up following Yuan Chun's strength, and said with a smile, "Seeing the empress like this now, the old lady is relieved. Speaking of which, from what Wang said, the empress has considered a very good wife candidate for Baoyu, who is from the Ministry of Industry. The eldest daughter of the eldest son of the Shangshu family is two years older than Baoyu. I have also met Miss Chen. Although her appearance is not as good as ours, she is not bad. She has a rare charm, and she is more outstanding than ordinary girls. I thought that my mother would be worried about this matter, so I could tell my mother in advance that the previous one had already sent a matchmaker to come to make peace. After getting the horoscope, I went to the temple to have a close together, and then I waited for a pair of live geese, and went to give the betrothal gift."

Yuan Chun was also happy to hear that, thinking Mrs. Wang was afraid of the old lady's objection, so she entrusted her name, but she also hoped to facilitate this marriage, and what she cared most about was Baoyu's wish, "Is Baoyu willing?"

Speaking of Baoyu, the old lady's eyebrows and eyes widened, and she said with a smile, "Our two families also arranged for the two children to meet. Baoyu blushed when she saw Miss Chen. Although she didn't directly say yes, But it doesn’t make much sense when you think about it.”

Yuan Chun could think of that picture, and he was happy to think about it, otherwise Baoyu would have two rooms, and he would blush when he saw the girl from the Chen family, and he could imagine how wonderful the girl from the Chen family was, "Then Well, only the south has wild geese at this time of year. As an older sister, I can’t help him with anything else. It happens that I have some manpower in the south, so I can get a pair of wild geese back. It’s better to give the bride price as soon as possible. Such a good girl doesn’t come sooner. I'm really worried about it."

"Our Rongguo Mansion is quite powerful in the south, and a pair of wild geese are already on the boat to the capital. Don't bother me, but when Baoyu is hired, I will ask you to reward me with some good things to show my mother. We must pay attention to Baoyu and Miss Chen, so that the ministers of the Ministry of Industry can also see our sincerity."

"Even if the old lady doesn't say anything, I will do the same. The old lady has asked people what Miss Chen likes. Although the things in this palace are good, I always want to give her what she likes more. people rejoice."

"The Chen family has strict rules and regulations. I'm afraid it's hard to inquire about it, but it's a good thing. If you want to come to the Chen family, you can be more flexible." The old lady said with a smile.

"Okay, after you find out clearly, just send someone into the palace to tell me, so that I can prepare in advance, and I must be perfect."

After all, when the New Year banquet was for entertainment, although other people also had winks, they did not come forward to disturb the imperial concubine and the old lady of the country. Be cautious and considerate.

The old lady didn't have anything else important to say to Yuan Chun, she also looked at the people around who were looking at her eagerly, she also said goodbye to Yuan Chun, and returned to her place, as soon as the old lady of the country left, someone came forward again, Yuan Chun also said with a smile, "Why did Prince Fujin come to my side, but I have something to say to Ben Gong."

It turned out that it was Yingchun's mother-in-law who came forward, Yuan Chun was right to call Prince Fujin respectfully, old Fujin also intended to make friends with Yuan Chun, "Last time I left in a hurry, for the grandson of my wife's family, I didn't thank the imperial concubine or empress .”

"It's nothing. I thought it would help, but unfortunately it didn't improve anything. It doesn't deserve Prince Fujin's thanks."

"How come, it is because of this that I have to thank you even more, and the candied fruit recipe obtained by the minister's wife and daughter-in-law also played a big role. Not to mention the previous thing, it is because of this reason that I must thank the imperial concubine. My lord, my lord doesn't know about our lineage, the number of offspring is thin, the child is weak and sick, whether it can be raised or not is a problem. Being able to have one more child is also a gift from heaven, otherwise I am afraid that our lineage of title inheritance will come to an end .”

Yuan Chun was afraid that her expectations would be too high and she would put too much pressure on Ying Chun. After all, having a boy or a girl is unknown, so she smiled and said, "Ying Chun is my own sister. I am naturally happy that she is pregnant. I can't help you with other things." Forget it, it's just a candied fruit recipe to relieve morning sickness, appetizer and promote body fluids. How can you be so thankful? Besides, this pregnancy is not stable, and my sister is soft-tempered. I know that Fujin is looking forward to it, but please ask Fujin to be here In front of my sister, please restrain yourself a little bit, don’t put too much pressure on your sister, instead, you will be too melancholy and hurt the fetus. Whether it is Ge Ge or elder brother is destined, after all, the health of the fetus is the most important thing. Could it be possible to give birth to a little Ge Ge? Fujin is not happy?"

Old Fujin also knew that the imperial concubine had misunderstood, but on the other hand, he was also very happy to know that the imperial concubine attached great importance to Yingchun, so he quickly argued, "Your concubine, you have misunderstood, you are not happy here, it is the words of the ministers. It's not right, not only the empress attaches great importance to the birth of Yingchun, but our prince also attaches great importance to it. Whether it is a boy or a girl, it is a happy event to add a child. What the empress said is very true. If the empress did not remind me, the courtiers would not know what happened on weekdays. It's a loss of propriety, it may have affected Yingchun's mood, the minister's wife must pay attention in the future, I really don't know how to thank the empress."

"What's the point? It's just a sentence. I hope Fujin won't blame Ben Gong for talking too much." Yuan Chun also said modestly.

The Supreme Emperor had a serious illness before and his body was weak, and he only stayed for two cups of tea at the annual banquet, so he left early, leaving the emperor alone to socialize, the emperor knew he was here, and the other ministers did not Zi Zi, it was time for another cup of tea, and he also left early.

The empress dowager and the empress dowager followed closely, and the empress dowager was left to preside over the rest of the affairs. Yuan Chun also wanted to leave early, but many people were staring at her, so naturally she couldn't sneak away. After the emperor left, The elderly princes couldn't hold on any longer, and left one after another. In addition to the favored Thirteenth Lord, the emperor's sons, plus the emperor's other younger brothers, could be stayed in the Yuanmingyuan, the emperor's other adult brothers and his other nephews all had to rush back to the capital overnight.
