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

Chapter 26

Probably because Yuan Chun's performance when dividing up the palace affairs really pleased Tu Mingjun. Since then, Tu Mingjun has resumed the habit of going to Yuanchun's Fengzao Palace for a short break every afternoon. Totally non-existent.

Although the number of favors received by Yuanchun is still not many, and there is no record in Tong's history, but this is still a favor after all, and it is a decent thing.

Among other things, at least it made the people in the palace treat Yuan Chun more respectfully.

As I said before, the Yuanchun Jin ceremony is in November.Counting the days, in fact, it will be the winter solstice gift in a few days.During the winter solstice, there has always been a custom of offering sacrifices to the gods, so there are also rituals and celebrations in the harem.

Although at this time, Yuanchun was just getting involved in palace affairs, and there were not many things that he had done or could do in a hurry.But she was eager to express herself, and after thinking about it seriously, she still asked the queen for a list of seats and meals for the winter solstice banquet that she had already prepared. .

The empress only sat in her current position at the beginning of the year, and she actually presided over several court banquets and ceremonies in this year.Duanyang, Mid-Autumn Festival, and Chongyang Festival all have great gifts, but each time there are always several lawsuits.

The concubines in Tu Mingjun's harem are all old faces who are used to getting along with the queen, and each of them has developed the instinct to seek advantages and avoid disadvantages. Except for Concubine An, who has been more rampant recently, everyone else is extremely obedient .On the contrary, many people from the Taishanghuang's place are very picky, and they can always find some faults, which makes the Taishanghuang have countless opinions, and they can always reprimand Tu Mingxuan again.

Therefore, every time the big ceremony comes, the queen is extremely troubled.

But this time everything went smoothly, even the Supreme Emperor was exceptionally silent, as if there was no sign of dissatisfaction.

After inquiring about it for a while, and then thinking about it carefully, the queen realized the reason.

Yuan Chun didn't ask for credit, but her attitude of doing things in a muffled voice was very popular.

The Empress Dowager was already acquainted with Yuan Chun, so she actually had a lot of affection, and seeing that her beloved son and Yuan Chun didn't get along badly, and she was able to help. This time, the Supreme Emperor was satisfied. Dongfeng rewarded Yuanchun with some good things.

Even the empress is a sensible person, although Yuan Chun didn't say anything, but she also exaggerated Yuan Chun's contribution to [-] points with Tu Mingxuan, and it should be a good relationship.

"Sister Xian is indeed capable. I'm not familiar with palace affairs. It's just that the cooking master is in the harem. Not only is she familiar with it, but she is also very well-behaved. No one dares to talk about it. The Taishanghuang always couldn't grasp the measure, and couldn't find any precedents to follow. It was a bit of a headache, but I didn't expect that Sister Xian was Linglong's mind, and I didn't see her change anything, but it was rare that everyone was not dissatisfied." Queen. Rather, he sincerely wanted to praise Yuan Chun, the softness and relief in his brows and eyes could not be hidden.

After all, they have been husband and wife for many years. Although the queen does have one or two shortcomings, the husband and wife understand each other very well.Seeing the queen's expression, Tu Ming knew that she was sincerely satisfied, and in his heart, he himself felt a little relieved.

"It's only this time that I can see that in the future, I should also be more friendly with sister Xian. It will always be more beneficial." Since Yuan Chun has some face with the Supreme Emperor, the Empress is secretly thinking that she will be with the Supreme Emperor in the future. It's better to leave all the affairs to Yuanchun.

After thinking about it carefully, Tu Mingxun agreed with it in his heart.

He was not raised as an emperor since he was a child, and his views on many things are actually different from those of the Supreme Emperor.

The Taishanghuang and his two successors died one after another, and he never became a successor. He only let his concubine Zhen Taigui take care of the palace affairs, and distributed some inconspicuous small jobs to the other concubines.

However, Tu Mingxuan always felt that the empress, as the main wife, was supposed to take care of the palace affairs, and it would be unseemly for the concubine to come forward.

But thinking about the emperor's increasingly lonely temperament recently, Tu Mingxuan finally compromised.

The queen smiled gently, obviously quite satisfied with her husband's attention to her.

"Since Sister Xian has meritorious service, I would like to give some rewards. It's just that the Holy Majesty gave it more honorable, so I dared to ask for a favor for Sister Xian and reward her with some good things for me." These words are actually flattering. In addition to admiring Yuanchun, he passed this matter in front of Tu Mingjun, killing two birds with one stone.

Although Tu Mingxuan's life is aggrieved now, and he is extremely restricted by the Supreme Emperor in all aspects, but it has not reached the point where he cannot afford to give some rewards to his concubines.

Although both the national treasury and the private treasury of the Ministry of Internal Affairs are extremely short of money, there is always no shortage of things.Although it is not possible to snatch a handful of rare treasures, but if you only reward some homely things, it is easy.

Yuanchun loves books, although she can still get books from the Shangshuju, but it is also a great kindness to give some books and pens and inks.What's more, it is not rare to find the common clothing and jewelry ornaments when rewarding concubines.

Tu Mingxuan knew Yuanchun very well, and the queen made a sincere suggestion, and sent the reward to Yuanchun in a short while.

Yuan Chun was not surprised, but calmly accepted the order to thank him, and then told Mo Xiang to find a suitable place to pack all these things, and then he wanted to hold the piano to serve him and take an early rest.

On a certain level, there have never been so-called secrets in this harem, not to mention that the emperor's reward is an extremely glorious thing, and there is nothing shameful about it.

Yuan Chun only received the reward at night, and it was not too early at that time, and it was almost time for the key to be released in the palace, but the news was still transmitted quickly.

At least when greeting the next day, almost everyone already knew it.

There is no need to say anything about An Pin's usual jealous look, even Yuan Chun is too lazy to get to know An Pin any more.Concubine Jian was in a calm mood as always, and didn't say much.

However, Concubine Yi's complexion was not very good-looking, but it attracted Yuan Chun to take a few more glances.

In the dream, the birthdays of the First Prince and the Second Prince were not very far apart. Now Concubine An is more than six months pregnant, and due to much thinking during pregnancy, she is due to give birth in about one more month.By this time Concubine Yi should be three or four months old.

But until now, there was no news that Concubine Yi was pregnant.

Leaving aside the fact that the current Empress is not a master who harms her children, she just refuses to reveal the news of her early pregnancy just to be on the safe side. It is rare to hide it until early March. She began to show her pregnancy, and it was impossible to hide it anymore.

Because he believed in his prophetic dreams very much, it was rare for Yuan Chun to have some doubts.

Fortunately, Yuan Chun was still rational. Although he was indeed a little puzzled, he still didn't ask.

Yuan Chun was thinking about this in his heart, while saluting to the queen to thank her.

"I should have come yesterday, but it was really late at that time, and I was really afraid of disturbing the rest of the empress, so I came to thank you so late, please don't blame the empress." Yuan Chun didn't care about other people's treatment of her. After all, in her dream, except for Concubine Jian, who barely maintained her dignity from beginning to end, the rest of them were all involved in the struggle of the palace, so there was really no need to worry too much about it.

Therefore, Yuan Chun only wanted to be more polite in front of the queen, which was just in line with the queen's appetite.

The smile on the Queen's face deepened: "It was originally a reward for your hard work, and everyone at the Supreme Emperor's place praised it during the winter solstice ceremony. This is the credit for your hard work, and the Holy Majesty also praised your seriousness."

Yuan Chun and the empress were also acquainted, and after hearing this praise, he also felt that the empress had some other meaning, but thanked him again generously: "My lady's words made my concubine feel ashamed. It should be the empress's ability. The preparations are very proper, and the concubine can at most make some changes according to the dietary taboos and personal friendship. If all these can't help the empress, it will be a waste of ten years."

This is just a nice way to say it, but in fact, both parties are well aware of the reason why Yuan Chun can handle the errands beautifully.

In fact, Yuan Chun didn't really do anything, but just took the queen's order and changed a little bit of insignificant things.

Then Yuan Chun exaggerated his role as an assistant to the palace affairs by more than ten times and twenty times to the side of the Supreme Emperor.

Although the Supreme Emperor may not have half the heart in treating Yuan Chun, but in the end he will not deliberately hope that Yuan Chun will be bad.Not to mention that Yuan Chun was actually pointed out to Tu Mingjun by the Supreme Emperor himself, but just looking at Jia Daishan's face, he is always more honored than other people in Tu Mingjun's harem.

What is good at the top is effective at the bottom.The king of Chu is so thin-waisted that many people starved to death in the palace.Since the Supreme Emperor preconceived and was extremely satisfied with this banquet, the people below guessed his expression, so naturally they could only praise him.

Taking ten thousand steps back, even if there are those who really don't know how to wink and want to say something in front of the Supreme Emperor, they will be dealt with by the Supreme Emperor, and they will never spread to Tuming's harem, so it seems that everything is very appropriate.

On the contrary, it was the Queen who, because of An Pin's delicate and troubled nature, had an extra lawsuit.

Although Tu Mingjun knew that Concubine An was in a lot of trouble now and it was very difficult to take care of, and he didn't mean to blame the queen, but the queen couldn't help feeling that she had lost face and felt uncomfortable.

In comparison, Yuan Chun seemed more considerate and polite.

The combination of these few things made the queen treat Yuan Chun so considerate.

The concubine next to her was actually not very clear about these twists and turns, she could only hear from the conversation between the two that the queen and Yuan Chun were actually flattering each other.

The empress has been accumulating power for a long time, these people naturally dare not say anything more, they just store all the jealousy and hatred on Yuan Chun.

Yuan Chun didn't know other people's thoughts, even if he knew, he wouldn't take it to heart.Left and right are just jealousy, and now she is actually quite desireless, but she doesn't worry about other people's little emotions.

It's just that she didn't know that in the future, she would suffer a big loss because of other people's little emotions that she didn't like at first, and almost lost her life.
