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

Chapter No.17

The current situation of Yuanchun is naturally different in the eyes of different people.

The Jia family naturally felt that their daughter was very good, and that she should be spoiled in the harem to be worthy of such talent and beauty, so everyone hoped that Yuanchun would conceive immediately after Chengen, and give birth to a prince next year. They want to enjoy the glory of the emperor's family - in their eyes, such rebellious things seem to be a matter of course.

Now that Yuan Chun knows the story of the future, he naturally knows that her natal family's ambitions are just extravagant hopes.But fortunately, it is inconvenient for people in Jia's mansion to enter the palace now, so they are not qualified to say anything in Yuan Chun's ears. Even their ambitions can only be whispered in their hearts, but they are not stupid enough to express it. It didn't just give Yuan Chun a lot of hatred.

Baoqin has been with Yuanchun for most of his life, so treating Yuanchun is naturally more sincere than the pure use of those in the Jia family.Although her whole family's family deeds are still in the Jia family, it is inevitable that she sometimes stands on the Jia family's side and blows wind at Yuan Chun.But in the end, she also has deep feelings for Yuan Chun. Although she has some selfish intentions, it is out of good intentions and she has no intention of harming Yuan Chun.

In other words, if sacrificing Yuanchun one day can bring wealth and prosperity to the family, no one in Jia's family will say a word for Yuanchun except Mrs. Wang, who is the mother-in-law.But although Baoqin has selfish intentions, her own interests are still tied to Yuanchun, but she will never betray Yuanchun.

But even if Baoqin is so loyal, she still feels that Yuanchun's favor is not enough—compared with Yuanchun's current appearance, she thinks An Bin is more enviable.

But other people in the harem showed all kinds of envy, jealousy and hatred for Yuan Chun's current favor, which can only be seen from the knife-like eyes of the concubines and concubines during the greetings.

But fortunately, after getting the dream about the future, Yuan Chun's self-cultivation has been greatly improved.Whenever this happens, Yuan Chun just sits on the spot, simply treating himself as blind and deaf, and doesn't take those bitter words to heart.

If those newcomers enter the palace after the draft, Yuan Chun might be a bit apprehensive—after all, those people are all from low backgrounds and rich in money, and their methods are ever-changing. The sisters of Phoenix can only be compared with the branches.

Compared with those insider tactics, words and eyes can't hurt people directly after all. Yuan Chun only wanted to impress Tu Mingjun, so he simply put on a magnanimous appearance and didn't pursue it.

In this way, it is even more obvious that her character and demeanor are different.

"It has been more than half a year since the Holy Majesty ascended the throne at the beginning of the year. When the Holy Majesty ascended the throne, everything was complicated. He didn't want to make extra troubles and was considerate of his subordinates. Therefore, he temporarily exempted the draft for a year. Now everything is on the right track. The Holy Majesty's harem It's empty again, and we can start preparations for the draft in the spring of next year." The empress was still sitting in the center, and she threw down a big thunder in a flat tone, causing the faces of the people below to change drastically.

According to the rules of this dynasty, general elections are held every three years, and minor elections are held every year. This year is actually the year of the general election.

It's just that at the end of last year, when the deposed prince rebelled against him, the entire former court and harem would inevitably experience a major earthquake, and the emperor passed on the throne to the little transparent prince Tu Mingjun. All kinds of affairs are indeed very complicated, but there is no time to prepare draft matters.

Under such circumstances, coupled with the fact that Tu Mingjun is a young man who is determined to clear the court and does not want to be manipulated by others, but he himself knows that he is not strong enough, so he will inevitably have to rely on the emperor to survive, and it is impossible to be completely independent.

In a dilemma between the two, he actually postponed this year's general election under the pretext that the emperor's body needs to be recuperated due to the complicated mid-year affairs, in order to prevent the emperor from finding excuses to interfere in his harem affairs.

Arguing that his methods are more immature, but they cannot be hidden from the Supreme Emperor.It's just that at that time, because the Taishanghuang was indeed in a slight health condition, he was allowed to succeed.

It's just that the Taishanghuang is superior in chess. First, he is used to making decisions, and he is unwilling to let go of the power in his heart. Second, he doesn't have any bad intentions for Tu Mingjun. He also thinks about education, which is an untouched way of checks and balances His son is still in control of the important affairs of the previous court, and he can still pull out his hand to stuff Yuan Chun into Tu Ming's harem.

And this draft was also opened by the Supreme Emperor.

"The population in Xiao Twelve's backyard is not very prosperous, but there are only a few people, even if one person occupies the entire palace, it is not enough. It is really shameful. It was because of his filial piety that he postponed the draft before, but my There is no problem with the body anymore, but it is time to expand the harem." Fortunately, the Supreme Emperor has not really spoiled Zhen Taigui Concubine to the point of losing his mind, and this draft event has to alarm the previous court, and Tu Mingxuan is now He is already an emperor, but he specifically talked about this matter with the Queen Mother.

The queen mother thought about it and handed over the draft to the queen.

Firstly, it is because we do not want the ambitious sisters in the palace to interfere with the palace affairs, secondly, it is to repay the Empress Dowager, and thirdly, our empress also vaguely senses that this draft is a hot potato.Therefore, the queen hesitated for a while, and then recommended Yuan Chun to Tu Mingjun.

"We are all young and new to the palace. After all, we don't know much about these things. This is the first time the Holy Majesty has done such a big event when he ascended the throne. We can't be sloppy at all. Our sister Jia is an old man in the palace, too. The respectable people around the empress do have some experience, so this time I will trouble Sister Jia to help me." The empress may think that the faces of the people below are too good-looking, but she dropped another bombshell in a blink of an eye. .

This time even Yuanchun couldn't help showing a little bewilderment.

This is really rare, because the story in the dream is too clear, and it is also a prediction of the future, Yuan Chun actually knows very well that the honor and favor he can get actually means that Tu Mingxuan has to make a compromise with the Supreme Emperor, his future—— After the death of the Supreme Emperor or even his loss of power, it was considered a grace for him to be able to protect his family and the ancient Buddha of Qingdeng.

Therefore, since Yuan Chun was favored, he has always acted like he has no desires and desires, only occasionally making a small and innocuous request, in order to make his life easier after falling out of favor.

Ever since she knew the future, Yuan Chun's biggest characteristic is self-knowledge, because she understands her situation very well, so she has always put herself very low in front of people with higher status than herself.

She did know about next year's draft from a dream, so she was not surprised by the queen's first news, she just followed the appearance of other people with a somewhat surprised expression, and the second news was the real surprise. Surprise her.

After all, in the dream, although she got a beautiful position, in fact, she didn't take over any palace affairs until she died.

But now, she got the job of coordinating the draft, which is really surprising.

In her dream, she only cared about fighting for a position and favor for herself. Facing the flowers and willows that were drafted out, and thinking about the passing of her youth, she felt infinitely sour and desolate in her heart.

But even so, she still remembered that there were quite a few newcomers in this draft, and among them were quite a few noble daughters from aristocratic families who came from the Supreme Emperor An.

It can also share the palace's attention to her, which is not a bad thing.

Yuan Chun was respectful and polite on the surface, but he was thinking about how to deal with this matter - after all, this draft was really a mess.

"It's just that sister Jia is a little less experienced with us, maybe she can't take care of such a big matter." Concubine An thought she had a golden bump in her stomach, and the harem rules as long as she was born, regardless of whether it was a boy or a girl, She always became the first concubine, but she seemed a little crazy.

Yuan Chun had just been favored, and she couldn't help revealing that her pregnancy was not very stable. Now that the pregnancy is three months old, it is a little more stable, and she simply relied on the child in her womb to work wildly in the palace.

Relying on the fact that he might be the eldest son of Tu Mingjun, Concubine An actually had the guts to start a conversation with Empress He.

Although she actually just doesn't like Yuan Chun.

Concubine An was the only third official woman in the harem when Tu Mingjun was the prince. Although she was only the daughter of a seventh-rank official family, she was a concubine daughter. Naturally, she didn't like Yuan Chun, who was born as a court lady. In fact, her status is about the same as that of the maid in her natal family who climbed onto the bed with her master on her back.

An Pin's voice pulled Yuan Chun out of his thoughts.

But Yuan Chun didn't want to choke with Concubine An.

Although she has the role of a concubine, she is not the same as a real concubine. Although she can stand upright among the nobles, it is really inconvenient to directly conflict with Concubine An.

So Yuan Chun just smiled at Concubine An and didn't speak.

Simply because she is not usually a person who likes to chatter with others, it is not unusual for her to just laugh off An Bin's words.

Concubine An, on the other hand, is not a magnanimous person at all, I just feel that Yuan Chun's smile seems to be mocking and provoking her, if it is not hindering her being in the queen's palace now, she can only wish to slap her, and her heart is even more angry.

The empress saw everything that happened below into her eyes. Although her face was calm, she couldn't help giving Yuan Chun a high look inside.

One must know that Yuan Chun had stayed in the queen's palace before, and at that time Yuan Chun acted like a dutiful person, never exceeding half a point.Although it is impossible for the empress to have no grudges in her heart, she still feels that Yuan Chun is less threatening than An Pin.

So at this time, she was more willing to support Yuan Chun.

"Sister Yang is also smart, and the Holy Majesty thinks so too. I thought that Sister Jia is a girl from the Duke's family, and her family background is higher than ours. A noble person is wronged, and there is another draft. Because of the matter, he and the Holy Majesty proposed to give Jiamei a promotion. The Holy Majesty meant that Jiamei must be respected, so she was promoted to the concubine. The production of the gold book and seal and the concubine's court dress have already been handed over. To the Ministry of Internal Affairs, the decree will come down in about two days, and I hope that sister Jia will not think that the palace has revealed the surprise in advance." The empress is also very smart, knowing that the draft harem will definitely enter the palace. A group of pampered daughters, so after learning the news, they pondered for a while before finally making up their mind to show affection to Yuan Chun.

One reason is that Yuan Chun is not young anymore, and once the women in this palace pass the age of 24, it is basically difficult to give birth to children.Secondly, it is also because she can see that Yuan Chun's current favor seems to have a different intention for Tu Mingjun.
