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

Chapter 18

Yuan Chun didn't know the little Jiujiu in the queen's heart, but this did not prevent Yuan Chun from receiving the queen's kindness and decided to accept it.

"This is also the favor of the empress, how could I blame the empress." Yuan Chun stood up and saluted respectfully, "It is a kindness for the concubine to be loved by the emperor and the empress today, and there is no reason to be rampant because of this kind of favor."

Yuan Chun's words were firstly to thank the empress, and secondly, he was referring to Sang and Huai's concubine An.

Concubine An is not a fool, she naturally knows who Yuan Chun is talking about, but when she thinks about the eldest son of Tu Mingxuan in her arms, the Empress Empress has not yet been happy, but she is really very unhappy—— You know, Tu Mingyu, the eldest son of the Supreme Emperor Zhentai Guifei, was a favorable contender for the throne back then. Even the eldest son of the Supreme Emperor Yuan was pulled from the seat of the crown prince. That's the one who caught it, so why can't her son do it.

And she is not quite the same as other people in Tu Mingjun's harem.

Tu Mingjun Many of the nobles nowadays are raised from ordinary palace servants as queens in the palace.But Concubine An is the daughter of an official family, and she was actually selected by the Queen Mother.

One must know that although Concubine An was originally the daughter of an official family, her father was only a rank-[-] sesame official, so if she was really selected to be a concubine in the palace, she would finally fly to the branch, and there was nothing to be wronged about.It's just that she came from a lack of family background, and she didn't have much knowledge. She saw a lot of unruly things in the families of low-level officials, and thinking about the chaos of the many sons under the emperor's knees two years ago, she couldn't help but feel alive.

——The queens of the previous dynasty were mostly the daughters of ordinary people, so why should she not be so lucky as a girl raised by officials and officials?

If Yuan Chun knew about her idea, she might laugh at it.

Although Concubine Zhen is not good in every way, her background is not bad. When Concubine Zhen entered the palace, she had a fourth-rank official in her family at least, and she had the affection of her grandmother. Naturally, her life was not bad. .However, the queens of the previous dynasty did not come from official families, which was originally the meaning of the former dynasty, and they never allowed the natal families of the concubines in the harem to serve as officials. This is naturally different from the rules of this dynasty.

But if she didn't know this, she knew only from the story in the dream that Tu Mingjun's eldest son would be taken care of by his biological mother in the future, and he was a bit pretentious. In the end, he was dealt with early and did not end well.

Anpin only had such a child in her life, and she ended up with that kind of fate. She also knew how miserable her life was afterward, so Yuanchun looked at her a bit pitifully, and didn't really want to know her like her.

But ordinary people say that the tree wants to be quiet but the wind doesn't stop. Although Yuan Chun is generous, Concubine An can't get used to Yuan Chun.

Although it's not easy to have a fit in the Queen's Palace, Concubine An made another mark on Yuan Chun in her heart.

However, Yuan Chun doesn't take An Bin's malice seriously. If there are too many lice on the left and right, it doesn't itch, and if there are too many debts, don't worry about it. Caring about how the other party thinks he is not pleasing to the eye again.

When I was just a nobleman one level lower than the other party, I didn't care about the other party's malice. Now that I am the first one in the palace to be promoted to the imperial concubine, there is nothing to be afraid of.

It's better to think about Tu Mingjun's thoughts first, which is more realistic.

The queen showed enough kindness towards Yuan Chun, and Yuan Chun himself also wanted to get closer to the queen, and the two hit it off naturally, although they didn't say anything clearly, but there was always a little more kindness in their eyes.

It's just that everything can't be done in a pinch. Although the two of them have the intention to form an alliance, it is not a one-day achievement after all. Therefore, the queen only said a few words to Yuan Chun when she greeted her, but she didn't stay to talk .

Although Concubine An made several small accounts for Yuan Chun, she didn't know much after all, so she couldn't think of any good way to deal with Yuan Chun.The only thing that can be done is to pretend to have a stomach ache and feel unwell, as the old saying goes, and toss and toss the imperial physician.

To be honest, the imperial physician does not want to see Concubine An, who has always been moaning without illness. If Concubine An was tossing out flowers, they would not pay attention to each other, but who makes this woman still have a baby in her belly? .

Tu Mingjun only has one daughter now, who knows if the one in Anpin's stomach is a boy, who dares to neglect her.

Not only did the imperial physician think so, but Tu Mingxuan actually thought the same way.

Even though Concubine An is an official girl, in the eyes of Tu Mingxuan, she is not as pleasing as He's promoted him.You must know that even though Tu Mingjun was considered the weakest among the many princes of the Supreme Emperor, he was still a prince. Which prince has to appease him when he ascends the throne, why is he also a county king.

In his eyes, Anpin's father's seventh-rank official title was no different from a commoner, not even a maidservant.

People often say that people who are close to Zhu Zhechi, these court ladies and eunuchs have stayed in the palace anyway, and they have the aura of the richest people in the world. No matter what their backgrounds are, their manners and conversations are not very bad.And the maids in the mansion who can be promoted by the queen are not counted. Most of the maids in the palace are the queen's dowry, and they grew up in the family of third-rank officials anyway.

If it hadn't been for the imperial physician to say that the pulse of Anpin's pregnancy seemed to be that of a prince, and that he was also his eldest son after all, Tu Mingxun would never want to pay attention to Anpin anymore.

It's just that now that he is thinking about the unborn eldest son of the emperor, Tu Mingxun has no choice but to go to Concubine An to appease her when she makes a fuss.

But it was a coincidence that because of the talent show, Tu Mingjun stayed with the queen for the past two days——Pin An actually snatched her away from the queen's palace.

The queen was worried, but she still had to put on a virtuous look on the surface: "Sister An's pregnancy doesn't seem to be very stable. It's only been a few months now, and it's been a lot of troubles. Anyway, this is the Holy Majesty's baby. Eldest son, you have to do well, and there is nothing serious about the courtiers and concubines here, so the Holy Majesty should go and see Sister An."

Tu Mingjun himself has no affection for Concubine An, and Concubine An is now relying on her own stomach to make such a fuss, which completely wiped out the last bit of affection for Concubine An.

But it's a pity that before An Bin gave birth to a child, he still couldn't get mad at her.

You know, when Tu Mingjun was just a transparent prince, whether he had any heirs was actually not important to him.But now that he has become the king of a country, this has become the most important thing.

It goes without saying that the Taishanghuang never stops.Even the Queen Mother, who has always put her son first, now shows extra importance to the child in An Bin's womb - even she doesn't like An Bin's unsteady attitude.

So even if Concubine An's troubles are turned upside down now, just looking at the piece of meat in her stomach, she can only endure it.

But this does not mean that the people in the palace have no grievances in their hearts.

After Tu Mingxun comforted the queen with a few words, he left in a hurry from the queen.And although the queen kept a dignified face when Tu Mingxuan left, she still couldn't help shaking several teacups and porcelain viciously after confirming that the majesty had walked a certain distance.

Concubine An robbed the emperor from the empress.

This harem is a place full of secrets, but sometimes it is also a place without secrets—just as Tu Mingjun entered An Cong's place in the front foot, the secret in the back foot spread throughout the harem.

When Yuan Chun got the news, he was lazily lying on the bed flipping through a miscellaneous travel book.

Mo Xiang handed Yuan Chun a cup of honey water to prevent him from being sleepy after drinking tea at night, and then told Yuan Chun about the news from the palace.

Although Yuan Chun has no intention of displaying his means to compete for favor, but after all, a person in the harem cannot turn himself blind and deaf. Therefore, it is not necessary for the palace people to inquire about the less secretive places in other palaces at any time. information.

It's just that she is not too much, she just wants to know some news from the palace, and she has no intention of digging into other people's privacy.

For example, the news that Concubine An gave the queen such an ugly tonight belongs to the kind of secret that is not a secret.Even if Yuan Chun doesn't inquire tonight, there will always be someone who will use this matter to make the queen look bad when he greets her tomorrow morning.

Yuan Chun reached out to take the honey water from Mo Xiang, moistened his lips slightly, and couldn't help but sneered.

"So it can be seen that Concubine An is a fool." Yuan Chun raised his eyebrows, and the two or three points of meanness between his brows could not be concealed. San's provocation—she thought she would have the blessing of the Empress Dowager, but our Majesty is not the Empress Dowager."

After all, Mo Xiang was originally a person next to Tu Mingxuan, so she had some guts, and her eyes flickered slightly after hearing Yuan Chun's "rebellious" words, but she was quite calm.On the other hand, Baoqin was holding a silver hairpin to pick out the candle wicks in the room. Hearing this, his hands trembled, and he accidentally dropped the silver hairpin on the ground.

It's not that Yuan Chun didn't know that his words were a bit bold, and it's not that he couldn't understand Bao Qin's performance, so he just glanced at Bao Qin and didn't say much.

"The empress dowager is thirty years younger than the empress dowager. Given the situation back then, as long as she calms down and raises her son well, one day she will enjoy the blessings of her children and grandchildren." Although it is not a good thing to lie about royal affairs, Yuan Chun is by the empress dowager's side For an old man who has served for ten years, it is not too much to talk about the Empress Dowager's affairs, "Now that the Supreme Emperor has abdicated, the Empress Dowager is not in her prime."

Although the Supreme Emperor is still there, the Empress Dowager can't act recklessly, but after all, she is now the birth mother of the Holy Mother, and her life is no longer the same as the days when she was a little concubine.

"But Concubine An is different. She is about the same age as the sage, but she gave birth to a son. If she really offends the sage, how can she survive until the day of happiness? What's more, with her background, how can she get enough money?" The private family will raise their own children well." Everyone in this palace has a heart of wealth and snobbery, and without the favor of the Holy One, it is enough for a concubine to be unable to move forward.

Moreover, the life of Concubine An's natal family is not rich, far worse than that of the Empress Dowager.After the empress dowager fell out of favor, she was still able to take good care of herself and her son with her natal family's private house, but anyone can see what An Concubine's life will be like in the future.
