The Lonely Family in the Red Chamber

The queen is sick, this is not a trivial matter, the queen is the only person who can be equal to the emperor in terms of status, the mother of a country, not a dispensable mascot.At least in the harem, the queen has the final say on everything. Of course, the premise is that the emperor does not intend to refute the queen's face.

For so many years, He Yu is indeed a winner in life who is envied and hated by many people.The He family counted up to three generations, that is, they were small landlords. Among the many famous ladies in the capital, He Yu's background can only be said to be middle-class, and even lower. Become a crown princess, and then the whole family will ascend to heaven!What is even more disturbing is that the prince is not the one who favors concubines and destroys his wives. He respects He Yu very much. The Empress Dowager was crowned as the grandson of the emperor, and now he is the crown prince. This position is a bit more secure than the prince of the past. That is to say, as long as He Yu does not die before Tu Jingnian, [-]% of the future will be the empress dowager. Isn't the He family going to be more prosperous!

As a result, looking at it now, He Yu is actually a queen who is not blessed enough. She has only been a queen for a long time, and she fell ill. Naturally, some people began to imagine that if He Yu died of such an illness, or would simply stay in bed in the future, that would be nice.The queen doesn't have the energy to control the power of the palace, so naturally she needs a high-ranking concubine to take care of it. It happens that next year will be the general election, so naturally she has to prepare well.Not to mention the emperor's concubine, she is also a concubine. Can the concubine of an ordinary family have a rank?If she becomes one of the concubines, she is not much worse than the empress. The only regrettable thing is that He Yu already has two sons, and the other is a prince. If she doesn't reach the position of queen, she will become a concubine if she dies in the future. A concubine will not be of much use.

Most civil servants don't want their daughters to enter the palace as concubines, don't say anything about the pillow style, Tu Jingnian is not a foolish person, someone has heard of what foolish things He Yu did when she was still the crown princess, Since then, there has been a gap between the husband and wife, and it is not as good as it used to be. But even so, He Yu is still the princess, and now she is the queen. The two women in the house didn't get much favor.

No one thinks that Tu Jingnian is not close to women, and Emperor Chengqing also said that he was not close to women. After the throne is stabilized, it is not like there are newcomers in the palace every year.

What's more, the queen is sick now, and the general election is even more necessary. Naturally, a famous lady must be selected to help the queen take care of the harem!

Tu Jingnian is actually very upset about this. It doesn’t matter if you can find the queen or not for anything in the harem. Basically, the management regulations he created in the East Palace back then have now been implemented in the entire harem. It is nothing more than the real-name system and the joint responsibility system. It is to play the role of a supervisor, but what do the female officials do?

As it turned out, Tu Jingnian was arranging several stewards around him to manage the palace affairs, and someone from Changchun Palace came to look for Tu Jingnian.

Even if he doesn't have much affection for He Yu now, after all, they have been a couple for so many years. Tu Jingnian thought about it, but it's over.

Changchun Palace was the residence of Tu Jingnian's biological mother, Empress Yiyuan. Now that it is in He Yu's hands, Tu Jingnian can't find much memory of that year.In any case, the Su family has always been a family for hundreds of years. Empress Yiyuan is the daughter of a serious family. Her father and grandfather are very promising, and they love her very much. Naturally, they are all high-end in their self-cultivation and aesthetic hobbies. At that time, Tu Jingnian wondered how the successor and his mother were cousins, so it felt like one was handed down jade and the other was inferior glass.

He Yu is different. After all, the He family has a shallow foundation. He Yu's aesthetic hobbies are completely different from Empress Yiyuan. Empress Yiyuan belongs to the kind of person who is very good at managing her own life. Make your life more comfortable.

Therefore, in the former Changchun Palace, according to Empress Yiyuan's wishes, even the plants and trees in the yard, although they may not be expensive flowers and plants, are arranged elegantly and pleasantly, with each season having its own scenery.

After the death of Empress Yiyuan, Emperor Chengqing sealed up the Changchun Palace, but asked the people from the House of Internal Affairs to repair and manage it from time to time. Without its master, the Changchun Palace naturally fell into decline.

Later, when Tu Jingnian ascended the throne, after thinking about it for a while, he still packed up the utensils and decorations that Empress Yiyuan used to use, and asked the House of Internal Affairs to renovate according to He Yu's plan.Now this place is naturally filled with the imprints of the life of the new owner. Tu Jingnian's visit to Changchun Palace now is a formulaic process, and he often comes and goes in a hurry. Now he has the leisure to watch the changes in Changchun Palace, but he feels a sense of loss in his heart. .

Quan Fu followed behind Tu Jingnian, saw that Tu Jingnian's footsteps had slowed down, still bowed his head and said nothing, just followed beside Tu Jingnian, while the female officer sent by He Yu was a little anxious, but did not dare Urging, he could only bite his lower lip, secretly looking at Tu Jingnian from time to time.

Fortunately, Tu Jingnian didn't intend to leave immediately. It was already autumn, and the few sweet-scented osmanthus trees in the front yard had already bloomed scattered small flowers, exuding a faint fragrance. He entered He Yu's bedroom.

The sleeping hall was filled with a faint smell of medicine, but He Yu didn't have the lily fragrance that He Yu liked, and replaced it with another kind of soothing fragrance, which made Tu Jingnian a little worried. The soothing fragrance has always been a kind of spice that is used more in the palace. , there are always more patients with neurasthenia, insomnia and dreaminess in the palace than people outside. Anshen Xiang was allocated to allow these concubines in the palace to sleep better. It is impossible, He Yu is now neurasthenic ?

He Yu was lying on the bed at the moment. Seeing Tu Jingnian coming, she tried to salute Tu Jingnian, but was pushed down by Tu Jingnian. She looked a little haggard and her face was a little yellow. He sat down in front of her bed, looked at her carefully, sighed, and asked, "Why are you so haggard, what did the imperial doctor say?"

He Yu's illness is really not a serious illness, it's nothing more than a feeling of unhappiness in his heart, and he is holding on to the palace power tightly. When he is tired, he should relax his mind and rest for a while. In fact, He Yu will be fine. It's just that He Yu scares himself , Afraid of his own illness, he immediately made room for the newcomer.

Tu Jingnian took the pulse case and went through it again. After being in this world for so many years, Tu Jingnian understood some medical principles and pharmacology. What's more, the pulse case was written in a fairly detailed way. It's still clear. Tu Jingnian naturally understood the crux of the problem, so he comforted him with gentle words: "Even though the empress can recover from her illness at ease, there are naturally a few female officials in charge of the palace affairs, and the general election and the minor elections are also put aside for a while. Let it go, even though the younger brothers are all at the age of marrying wives, they are not in a hurry!"

A gleam of light flashed in He Yu's eyes, and then he became depressed again, and said softly: "Does the saint have to be so unfamiliar with the concubine? How long has the saint not called my boudoir name!"

Tu Jingnian was taken aback for a moment, but he didn't mean to be soft-hearted at all. He is not a soft-hearted person. Now he has understood a lot about He Yu's temperament. Giving her such a promise is enough for Tu Jingnian So I said lightly: "Why is the queen like this? Does the queen really think that I am just an ordinary husband? You and I are in this position now, and we each have our own considerations. If you are just marrying an ordinary person, this How could you be sick again?"

He Yu couldn't help but shed tears: "Saint, the concubine made a mistake before, and the concubine already knew it was wrong! For the sake of the two children, the saint forgives the concubine!"

Tu Jingnian took a deep look at He Yu, and finally said: "Queen, you are already a queen, and your natal family is also a first-class Cheng Engong. I didn't spoil my concubine and destroy my wife. Queen, you want too much. But I never thought that sincerity would be exchanged with sincerity! Besides, have you really believed me? Forget it, the queen should take good care of her illness. As you said, there are two children. I don’t want Amin and Ayang’s mother to have What a bad rumor!" As he said that, Tu Jingnian helped He Yu tuck the quilt up, turned around and left.

Behind him, He Yu sat up startled, looked at the back of Tu Jingnian who did not turn back, and bit her lower lip so hard that blood came out from her lip. The maid who was serving hurriedly stepped forward, but was caught by He Yu. Push away.

After leaving Changchun Palace and receiving a summons from Emperor Chengqing, Tu Jingnian had no choice but to leave with Cao Anping.Cao Anping looked much more peaceful now than when Emperor Chengqing had a stroke, but his attitude towards Tu Jingnian was more humble.

Emperor Chengqing is not in the Shoukang Palace at the moment, but in the Royal Garden. He almost doesn't care about the government now, and he wants to cultivate his fertility, but there is no difference in enjoyment. The people of Jiaofangsi played and sang on the painting boat from a distance, and sat in the pavilion to feed the fish by themselves.

Seeing that Tu Jingnian was coming, Emperor Chengqing grabbed a handful of fish food and gave it to him, motioned for Tu Jingnian to sit down as well, and asked, "The queen is looking for you?"

Tu Jingnian was not surprised that Emperor Chengqing knew so quickly, he just nodded and sneered: "She doesn't know what to think, she is worried that a noble girl from a noble family will enter the palace as a concubine, and she will fight against her!"

Emperor Chengqing sighed softly: "After all, the vision is a bit poor, but that's okay, after all, I gave birth to two good children, Amin and Ayang. Anything else, as long as they are satisfactory!"

Just as Tu Jingnian nodded, he heard Emperor Chengqing say: "Speaking of which, Ah Li, your harem is indeed empty, without even a concubine. I can assure you that if you really accept a concubine, she will never dare to accept it." Get sick anytime!"

Tu Jingnian thought for a while, and said with a smile, "Let's do whatever happens!"

Emperor Chengqing was also helpless about this, Tu Jingnian was too mediocre in female sex, and for Tu Jingnian, it can be summed up in one sentence, how to fall in love with different views!Women these days don't quite fit Tu Jingnian's concept in terms of personality. Besides, as an emperor, there are too many things to consider. To die by myself, to be a so-called famous lady of the empress dowager, it is better to be a small family, who has no courage and insight, and only knows to please and flatter herself!If it hadn't been for the queen really disappointing him, in his opinion, having a queen is enough!

Emperor Chengqing obviously couldn't bear to see his son like this, but in private, he had already started to help Tu Jingnian select beautiful women. When Tu Jingnian knew about it, he didn't say much, instead, he sent more lists over. Let Emperor Chengqing also consider the other sons, they are almost at the age of marriage!On the Jiangnan side, news came from the reorganized General Administration Department that Xue Pan had killed someone, and his family fled to Beijing in the name of a small election.
