It's Hard to Be the Concubine of the Red Chamber

Chapter [-]

What happened in Fengzao Palace, especially those things that Xiuyan heard, naturally there is no possibility that Tu Mingjun didn't know.

Although it may take a little reaction time.

In the meantime, Luo Guiren started to make trouble again.

There has always been an unwritten rule in the harem, that is, to beat someone but not face.This face has always been extremely important to the women in the harem. Generally speaking, unless two people intend to form a deadly feud over this, they will usually not greet each other's face even if they do it, let alone do it directly.

Although it was only the court lady next to Luo Guiren who was beaten by Xi Niu, since the incident happened in a busy place like the Ministry of Internal Affairs, it is actually no different from Yuan Chun directly hitting Luo Guiren in the face.

Luo Guiren has the kind of temperament that does not know the heights of heaven and earth, otherwise he would not be able to provoke Concubine Shu and Concubine Xian successively with his belly as a nobleman.

You know, as far as she is concerned, since she is lucky enough to be pregnant with an imperial heir, anyone who is a little bit smart should also know that the most important thing now is to take good care of the fetus and strive to give birth to a prince in one fell swoop. Only a low-key and honest person is a smart person. It is a big taboo to act like Luo Guiren is now so arrogant.

But if Luo Guiren had this wisdom, he would not have jumped around before. This time, after hearing what the people around him said, he immediately felt that he had been greatly insulted, and immediately acted as if his stomach was uncomfortable, while making people feel uncomfortable. Called the imperial doctor, and at the same time sent people to the holy place to call the grievance.

No matter how insignificant Luo Guiren is, but she is pregnant with a dragon heir, only this stomach is the most precious. Now that Luo Guiren is talking about his own stomach, no matter how irritable Tu Mingjun is, he has to run for a while. back.

Then I heard Luo Guiren make a look of being wronged by the sky and say how arrogant Concubine Xian looks down on the emperor in her womb, and said aggrievedly, "The concubine is no more than the appearance of a willow, but I have to suffer a little bit." It's okay to be wronged, but the prince can't be wronged." While talking, he touched her belly that didn't even exist.

The Supreme Emperor likes such soft and weak women the most. Concubine Zhen was like this kind of dodder flower when she was young, but when she got older, she began to show a warm and affectionate look with the Supreme Emperor.

After all, a woman with such a temperament and appearance is actually more likely to attract men's love and affection. However, as a prince who lived under the shadow of Concubine Zhen when he was young, Tu Mingxuan was extremely sensitive to such a woman.

But in the end, thinking that the offspring are still a little thinner now, this reluctantly did not go away directly, but he also made a decision in his heart that this child, regardless of male or female, should not be raised by Luo Guiren himself.

Then, after reluctantly comforting Luo Shi with a few words, he excused Luo Shi to take a good rest and went out by himself.

Tu Mingjun, who was threatened by Luo Shi for a while, didn't even think about summoning his concubine, and only rested in his palace for a night, and then Yuanchun's conversation with only two audiences in Fengzao Palace was reported the next morning. into his ears.

Thinking about the day before, Luo Guiren was obviously full of calculations, but he deliberately made an appearance as if he was full of grievances, which made Tu Mingxuan feel a little uncomfortable in an instant.

Although because of Yuan Chun's honorable background, Tu Mingjun has always been on guard against her, at least from the very beginning, he was not prepared to let Yuan Chun give birth to a royal heir at all—Yuan Chun didn't know about it in the dream, and only wanted to fight for favor To beg for a son, Tu Mingjun naturally simply out of sight and out of mind, but now Yuan Chun pretends to have nothing to ask for, which instead makes the two of them get along happily.

But to be honest, Yuan Chun was a little different from others.

Yuan Chun has been serving the Empress Dowager since he entered the palace at the age of 15. At that time, Tu Mingjun was less than ten years old. Although he may not have any thoughts about the people around the concubine mother, he still has some impressions after all.

At that time, Yuan Chun still had a bit of an out of place pride in his self-esteem, which was different from the court ladies of the same age who were so careful that they didn't seem to exist.At that time, the Queen Mother was just an untitled concubine Li, and she didn't have enough confidence in the palace, but at least every month after Yuanchun came, whenever she came out, she could always get the monthly regulations for that month on time.

Of course, at that time, Yuan Chun was just looking for more opportunities to gain a better future in the palace. As for the people in the Ministry of Internal Affairs, it was not difficult to deal with, as long as they had enough money, there was nothing to worry about.

But of course, about this matter, Tu Mingjun didn't know about it back then, and now it's impossible for Yuan Chun to talk about these things with others by himself, so it can only become an eternal secret.

Although it is said that according to the rules, the status of the women in the palace is always based on their position, but this rule belongs to the rules. In fact, the favored concubines in the harem are always better than the unfavored concubines. It is better than those without children, and the lives of women with older and powerful princes are even more nourishing.

After all, Concubine Li has a prince by his side, which is not bad, but after all, both mother and son are unloved. The Supreme Emperor has many concubines, and the Treasury of the Ministry of Internal Affairs is always limited. Although he can live on, but even his role as a prince is often not as good as that of a favored nobleman and beauty.

Although I can always live a life, it is inevitable to feel sad when I think about it now.

And the person who witnessed those sad days at that time was Yuan Chun.

Back then when she was just a female official, Yuan Chun was still able to rely on her decent means to get a job in the mother and concubine's palace, which was at least more than enough among concubines.But now that she has become a noble concubine, she has been reduced to the point where she was slapped in the face by a young nobleman.

In addition, Yuan Chun also intentionally lowered himself a bit these days, so Tu Mingjun thought about it carefully, and after all he wandered into Fengzao Palace again during his afternoon nap.

Tu Mingjun is still young and doesn't have the habit of taking a lunch break, but the women in the harem will never miss a nap to pass the time when they are bored during the day, and Yuan Chun is one of the few concubines in the palace who don't have the habit of taking a lunch break After Tu Mingjun discovered this, he often came to Yuanchun at noon to chat for a while and take a break.

But this day, when he went there, Yuan Chun was sleeping soundly.

Dai Quan is an old man who serves his disciple Mingxuan, and ordered the little eunuchs around him to inquire in Fengzao Palace, and soon got the news: "I heard from the people in Fengzao Palace that the lights in the main hall were on all night last night. When I went to pay my respects to the empress, the imperial concubine didn't bring Aunt Baoqin and Miss Xiuyan who were on vigil last night, but she brought Miss Le'er."

And early in the morning, it was not difficult to inquire about the various plots in the empress's palace. The empress is now living more and more indifferently. Shang Yuanchun never liked to argue with others, although Yuan Chun didn't feel anything, but in the eyes of others, Yuan Chun was finally angered.

Tu Mingxuan didn't ask anyone to wake Yuan Chun up, but let Le'er and a few eunuchs serve him in the side hall silently for half a cup of tea, then got up and left.

----split line----

Almost when the empresses of the palaces woke up from their afternoon naps, they immediately discovered that in just one or two hours, the entire harem seemed to have changed.

I don't know where the rumor came from, but it only said that Tu Mingjun came to Fengzao Palace in person at noon, and it was said that he had been intimate with Yuanchun for half an hour.

As soon as this wind came out, the rumors that Concubine Xian fell out of favor immediately collapsed.

——Although Yuan Chun, one of the parties involved, is still at a loss about this news.

Because of the lack of womb and the hardships she has suffered in these years, her body is not in good shape, and she accidentally touched something cold the day before, so when she had menstruation at night, she was so painful that she slept completely. She couldn't sleep, and the two maids around her had served her all night, and secondly, they thought that she was sad because she was angry and depressed during the day, and they looked cautious and didn't dare to sleep.

Since I have been tossing and tossing for a long time at night, it is only natural to be sleepy during the day.When he was in the Rongguo Mansion in the early years, Yuanchun still had the habit of taking a nap, but after entering the palace, only the masters in the palace could rest during the day, so he quit this habit. Now that he is sleepy during the day, he can sleep again Sleep.

Then when he woke up, he suddenly heard Baoqin tell the news that had spread outside.

Compared with other people who stayed out of the matter, Yuan Chun, the person involved, was really at a loss - you know, don't look at the rumors outside, but Yuan Chun really didn't know that Tu Ming had been here.

It was Le'er who came in to clear up the confusion, and only said that she had come to ask about the empress in the morning, and specifically told no one to disturb the empress's rest, and then stayed in the empress's study for a while before leaving.

Then Yuan Chun slacked off.

Although Baoqin is her closest confidant, Yuan Chun gave Le'er all the management matters in Fengzao Palace early in the morning, and Baoqin was only responsible for a few things around Yuanchun.

Since this is the case, if the news of Tu Mingjun's visit to Fengzao Palace came from Fengzao Palace, then it would naturally be Le'er's responsibility, and Yuan Chun didn't have to worry too much.

So Yuanchun just heard it and let it go, and then started to toss about the refreshments to be delivered to Tu Mingxuan.

Then when the time comes, send people over again.

But this time, the refreshments sent over were not returned. Tu Mingjun not only took the things, but also sent Eunuch Dai Quan over to pass on the message.

Dai Quan is the most face-saving servant around Tu Mingxuan, it's never a trivial matter to make him show up, but just looking at the smiling face, he knows that at least it's not a bad thing.

"The Holy Majesty also knows that the empress was wronged yesterday, but Luo Shi is still pregnant after all, so it is not easy to deal with it. Therefore, the Holy Majesty is thinking that when the family members of the Jiaofang enter the palace next time, it is better to let the empress take care of her." The mother also brought the unmarried younger siblings in to meet the empress, among other things, the empress dowager also wants to meet her nephew and daughter-in-law." Dai Quan has always been one of the most sensible people in the palace, so he naturally knows This imperial concubine has no heirs but her foundation is stable, at least not something ordinary people can offend.

Regardless of His Majesty's thoughts on this empress, but only the Empress Dowager and the Empress Dowager are still alive, this empress cannot fail. The Empress Dowager is in good health now, and the Empress Dowager is only in her 40s, so she can always protect her The imperial concubine has been around for ten years, and only these ten years are worth bending over and respecting her now.
