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

Chapter No.16

Although Yuan Chun felt that his city was not shallow, but after all, it was nothing compared to the old fritters who had been scrambling in the palace for many years.Although she tried her best to act like nothing happened after she broke up with Baoqin that day, but there was still some dissatisfaction with Baoqin in her words and demeanor.

Everything may be lacking in this palace, but there is always no shortage of smart people.Within a few days, the news that Aunt Baoqin had fallen out of favor spread throughout Fengzao Palace.

Even Tu Mingjun knew about it, from the mouth of Mo Xiang who she planted in Fengzao Palace.

"I don't know why, the nobleman seems to be annoyed by Aunt Baoqin these days." Because the topic of that day was not very decent, neither Yuan Chun nor Baoqin revealed it to the outside world, and Mo Xiang was not a very clever work. In the end, I only got some face-saving news.

But that's enough.

Mo Xiang didn't know the reason, but Tu Mingxun was able to ask the Lord directly.

"Why haven't you seen the girl next to you recently?" This question is not too abrupt, after all, usually Baoqin is the only one who serves Yuanchun with tea and water, and even Mo Xiang can only help Baoqin. Having not seen Baoqin for several days, it is not surprising that Tu Mingxun asked casually.

After all, the dignity of holding a piano has not been as good as it used to be in recent times, so she has really been inactive for a long time, and Yuan Chun "is very unwilling to give her the job of showing her face in front of the imperial court".

When faced with this kind of problem, ordinary concubines will inevitably say some beautiful words, such as "Moxiang was given by the sage, so it is more decent", but Yuanchun has developed a straight-hearted character, and has Answer all questions, do not hide anything.

"Baoqin is a girl brought by my concubine from her mother's house. She has been serving her since she was four or five years old. After all, she is more considerate, but she has a little knowledge. It was not peaceful when she greeted her before, so that girl always felt that she was a concubine. I don't have enough confidence in this palace, so I suggest that the concubine raise her natal family, so that she can probably stand up straight in the palace. Hearing what she said, the concubine only felt irritable, and wanted to cold her." Asking the prince's matter Yuan Chun felt that he couldn't talk about it, so he could only talk about the affairs of his mother's family.

Now she is not very clear about her weight in Tu Mingjun's heart, because Tu Mingjun's performance before seemed a little unwilling to be favored by herself, Yuan Chun consciously did not take the initiative to bring up the topic of having children.

As for the latter point, whoever sent a woman to the palace would not want to climb up the Qingyun Ladder by climbing the woman's skirt.Although Tu Mingxun didn't like it, he knew about it, and he couldn't challenge the whole rules yet, even if he was dissatisfied, he could only listen first, so Yuan Chun had enough time to explain.

People always have preferences and prejudices, and Tu Mingjun is no exception.

He prefers scholars from humble backgrounds, because those people have weak backgrounds, and their honor and disgrace are only tied to the emperor.He extremely dislikes noble families who have been implicated in the network, because these people cover up and implicate each other, not only make the court a mess, but also have the ability to endanger the imperial power.

If the Empress Dowager asked for something for her natal family, thinking about the weak power of the empress' natal family's poor scholar family, even if Tu Mingxuan refused, he would probably not have any ideas.But if Yuan Chun, the daughter of a noble family, wanted something for her natal family, Tu Mingxun hated it from the bottom of his heart.

If Yuan Chun hadn't somehow known Tu Mingjun's blind and naive point of view from a dream, she would probably have stepped on the thunder unconsciously.

But now she knows how to avoid minefields reasonably, and by the way, give herself a good impression.

"The concubine's grandfather asked for an official for his father before he died, and he was in charge of the sixth-rank Ministry of Industry. Although children should not blame their parents, but after more than ten or 20 years of work, my father only knew his father after he was promoted to Yuanwailang. I really don't have the talent to be an official, but it's best to be so mediocre now. After all, I have a concubine as a daughter in the harem, and I don't worry about my father being bullied for nothing. The concubine's natal uncle has a first-rank general title. Therefore, just be an idle person, and there is nothing wrong with being rich and peaceful. Among the concubine's brothers of the same generation, the cousin of the uncle's family can also have a third-rank title, even if he is unworthy, he can't fall into the mud. Don't worry. Although the younger brother of the concubine can't get any kind of grace, but after all, with the parents' private property and the face of the concubine, he will not be poor. In the next generation, there will be no title, but they will be treated equally. It's inspiring. It's good for the concubine to feel like this. If the concubine really asks for some kind of grace from the previous court, it will be a harm to her mother's family if she can't afford it." Yuan Chun took it for granted, but it was Tu Ming. The little fire in my heart was extinguished.

"After all, the ancestors have a title and family property. This was won by the great-grandfather on the battlefield. It is used to protect the wealth of the family for two or three generations. It is also a royal grace. If the descendants can do it, such as concubines, brothers and uncles, there is no grace. If you can rise to the top, otherwise, you will be in vain if you get grace. Like a concubine's natal uncle, because his father's grandfather's title has come to an end, he has worked hard to become a prodigy. Sitting in the official position of the second rank, this is a good example for the children of the family."

Yuan Chun made a dignified appearance, and spoke perfectly and beautifully.It seems that she didn't get any benefits, but in fact, she didn't say this for nothing.

Tu Mingxuan took drastic measures to eradicate the aristocratic family, although it can be regarded as getting rid of the cancer of the country.But no matter what, as a cancer to be eliminated, Yuan Chun couldn't applaud him, so he had to subtly try to influence Tu Mingxuan's thoughts, at least to earn a good death.

In fact, this is not impossible.

Because of his hasty ascension to the throne, Tu Mingjun's score in the Emperor's Heart Technique was actually unqualified.In the future, he eradicated many honorable families, single-handedly supported many officials from poor backgrounds, and caused a lot of chaos. In the end, he left a mean and ungrateful image in the hearts of courtiers.

He eradicated the aristocratic family, but supported many "aristocratic families", which almost caused a catastrophe. If he hadn't raised a few loyal generals who protected him at the critical moment, maybe a change of dynasty would have been possible .

It can be seen from this that Tu Mingxuan's actions may not be entirely a blessing, and if he can find some winking people in the aristocratic family as a kindness, it may not necessarily be a bad thing for Tu Mingxuan.

So Yuan Chun is very confident.

Because of Yuan Chun's righteousness and dignity, Tu Minghao didn't notice her sinister intentions—although she mentioned the credit of her ancestors, she emphasized that the royal family had already given grace to this credit, and the family should not have more What to ask for, it seems that she is full of a loyal and patriotic image, which adds a lot of points to Tu Mingxuan's heart.

With the comparison of the truth, goodness and beauty of Yuan Chun, the master, Baoqin, the girl, is even more odious.

As a saint, Tu Mingxuan had to look at the emperor's face if he wanted to deal with four kings and eight princes, but it was still easy to deal with a little girl next to a concubine.

But Yuanchun still stopped him.

"Holding the piano and entering the palace with my concubine, I have spent so many years, and I can be considered loyal. I always have credit and hard work. If the concubine disposes of her regardless of this affection, it will inevitably make people feel chilling." Some. Although in this Fengzao Palace, the concubine is the master and she is the slave, but if the concubine completely disregards the affection of the old man who has served for more than [-] years, it is inevitable that she will be rampant when she is successful. Before the concubine was I wasted ten years of time, and when there was no future in sight, Baoqin still did not give up. Needless to say, this loyalty. Although she is a little frivolous now, but the concubine asks herself, if Baoqin is by her side, she will not have a good death How can other palace people believe that concubines can give them a good ending." Yuan Chun has never been a good person, although Baoqin made some omissions, but she stabbed the mistake in front of Tu Mingjun, and then became pregnant again Plead for Baoqin.

Although she had no intention of disposing of Baoqin, she pleaded for Baoqin in front of Tu Mingxuan.But the emperor's mind is unpredictable, and no one knows what Tu Mingzhen thinks. If Baoqin is really punished, Yuan Chun will remember Baoqin's love to serve him, and he will definitely not disobey Tu Ming for this love. Meaning of Mingyu.

In any case, this is putting Baoqin in danger and ignoring it.

After all, mother and daughter are handed down in the same line, and Yuan Chun's cruelty is no less cruel than that of Mrs. Wang.

"The left and right concubines know that she is short-sighted. Although she can share adversity, she will inevitably be arrogant and useless when she shares wealth and honor, so she will not be reused. Just keep her to serve by her side. After all, giving her a little dignity is the concubine's. Be lenient. After all, the concubine is used to her service, but if she forgets her knowledge, her service is still considerate." In the end, Yuan Chun just used her relationship with the master and slave holding the piano to imply the relationship between the royal family and the royal family. Although you can't point to Tu Mingjun to listen to the relationship between the Xungui family, it is always possible to plant a seed in the other person's heart, and if it fails, it will not be discovered.

Although Tu Mingxuan intends to rectify the family, but after all, the Supreme Emperor is still there, Tu Mingxuan still has to act like a filial son in order to secure the throne, but he has not made his thoughts public.

On the contrary, Yuan Chun saw the future from a dream, and got this rare opportunity, so it was just a matter of intention and inadvertence.

After all, if one does not know the tragic future of the meritorious family under the rule of Tu Mingjun, it is impossible for anyone to have no ambitions to go further. Pian Yuanchun now only wants to keep his family from falling into the worst ending, so naturally he does not have such thoughts. be found.

After all, it's not the time for Tu Mingjun to really start to liquidate the family. No matter how keen Tu Mingjun is, he has no magic tricks and can't detect Yuan Chun's precautions. Instead, he just feels that Yuan Chun, who doesn't seek benefits for her mother's family, has a noble character.

In this case, Zuo is nothing more than a court lady, and she is still a court lady who has been disliked. Naturally, Tu Mingxuan will not refute Yuan Chun's face, but gently put it down.

Tu Mingxun consciously sensed the beautiful qualities of his concubine Ai, and naturally felt a little more at ease.And Yuan Chun used the matter of holding the piano to earn a good impression in Tu Mingxuan's heart, and even secretly cleaned up his mother's family, but he was also satisfied.

Moreover, these words of his have laid the foundation for him to rely heavily on Mo Xiang in the future, and it will serve multiple purposes.

Poor Baoqin, although he has some small thoughts of his own, he is still loyal to the Lord after all, but he was used as a tool by his master once, and he walked in front of the gate of hell without knowing it.

It is impossible to say whether this ignorance is her blessing or her doom.
