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

Chapter 27

After the winter solstice, the New Year's Eve is less than a month away, followed by the most important New Year's Eve ceremony of the year.

During the previous winter solstice, even though Yuan Chun took up the title of Assistant Palace Affairs and received rewards, everyone knew in their hearts that Yuan Chun didn't actually contribute much in it, but just took up the title for nothing.

However, this year's New Year's Eve gift is the first time Yuanchun has seriously intervened.There were people going up and down in the palace, but I don't know how many people were waiting to see Yuan Chun's jokes.

Just to be honest, although Yuan Chun had never dealt with palace affairs, she was a daughter from a decent family, and she always saw Mrs. Wang doing things when she was in her natal family.Although it is impossible to remember everything clearly due to the passage of time, but in the end I can always remember some essential things.

The lady in charge of the Rongguo Mansion should be Jia She's original wife, Mrs. Zhang, who died just after Jia Lian was born, and Yuan Chun was only one year and nine months older than Jia Lian. It's only a three-year-old child, and he can't remember Zhang's housekeeper skills.

After Mrs. Zhang passed away, the family was the housekeeper of Mrs. Wang, Mrs. Yuan Chun's mother, and Mr. Yuan Chun had seen many of them.

It is somewhat similar to Yuan Chun's current director.

Mrs. Wang is the second son's daughter-in-law, so she shouldn't be in charge of the house, but after Mrs. Zhang is gone, Nuo Da Rongguo Mansion can't stop here, so Mother Jia appointed Mrs. Wang as director.Later Jia Amnesty married his stepwife, just to prevent the stepwife from rubbing against Jia Lian, so he only hired a seventh-rank official girl named Xing who had lost her father and mother.

The Xing family was not qualified to be the daughter-in-law of the housekeeper of the Rong Mansion in terms of her background and knowledge, so Jia's mother asked Mrs. Wang to continue to be the director.

In order to prevent Jia She and his wife from disagreeing, although Mrs. Wang has the ability to manage affairs, she dare not be expert in everything.

Yuan Chun also plans to do the same.

Things in the palace have their own rules. Yuan Chun only compared the previous year's New Year's banquet with the list of a series of big gifts hosted by the empress this year. It took a day or two to add and change one or two to combine the two. For one, it is considered complete.

Then he copied the list in four copies, except for the one he kept on hand, one of which was given to the queen, and the other two were handed over to the Supreme Emperor and the Queen Mother respectively.

That's all for the queen mother and queen, left and right are just a cover, and it's easy to say.It's just that for the Supreme Emperor, Yuan Chun spoke very beautifully.

"Concubine Xian can have the grace of the Supreme Emperor today, and she is very grateful. Now the emperor allows Concubine Xian to share some things for the empress, because she trusts the vision of the Supreme Emperor. The empress only wants to be utterly embarrassed by the Supreme Emperor. It's just Concubine Xian After all, you are young, and you have never done this before, so you are unavoidably terrified in your heart, fearing that if you make a mistake, the Supreme Emperor will be displeased, so you drew up a list early, asking the Supreme Emperor to give you some more grace, and give you some pointers." Baoqin is The girl Yuan Chun brought from the Rong Mansion was always more respectable than Mo Xiang with the Supreme Emperor, so this job was handed over to Bao Qin.

Although the Supreme Emperor is quite clear about the affairs of the former court, he is not good at the twists and turns of the harem. Seeing that Yuan Chun's list was written in great detail, he also submitted two or three copies that were only a little bit subtle in the details. The different list shows the intention.

There are actually quite a lot of things that need to be arranged for this banquet, and Yuan Chun wrote it in detail, but there are so many things that need to be arranged densely.

You must know that the Supreme Emperor is not a person who does everything by himself. He didn't bother to think about these small things in the harem. He just glanced at it and remembered Yuan Chun's intentions. Then he ordered a list and said that he thought this was better. .

With such an answer, Yuan Chun's errands can be regarded as successfully completed, since no one can tell Yuan Chun what to do, Baoqin secretly heaves a sigh of relief in his heart.

Now that he was hand-picked by the Supreme Emperor, Yuan Chun let go of it, and only asked Mo Xiang to copy a few more copies of the final list and send it to the Queen Mother and Empress, and also told everyone in the inner palace to deal with it carefully.

Then Yuan Chun lived his little life leisurely again.

Due to the importance of the New Year's Eve ceremony, the queen naturally did not dare to slack off, and she only worked hard every day for fear of any omissions.

It seems that Yuanchun's leisurely life is very different.

Because the pen is about to be sealed, Tu Mingjun didn't come to Yuanchun's place very much for several days, but he couldn't stand Yuanchun's palace. Tu Mingjun inserted several people in, but he didn't feel bad about Yuanchun's leisurely life now. learn.

Especially with the queen as a comparison, it looks even more different.

It's just that Mingxuan didn't find time to ask Yuan Chun before he got older, but he dragged the question until after the grand ceremony.

Although the next year's grand ceremony sounds more important than extra important, in the final analysis it is not fundamentally different from other grand ceremonies.

It's just that there are more people involved.

Generally speaking, very few people are willing to bring bad luck to their door in the new year, even the arrogant concubine An has become honest.

Oh, in fact, Concubine An is not very honest, at least a truly honest person would not take the risk of taking oxytocin for herself in order to gain a good name on the first day of the new year.

Yuanchun is also the birthday of the first day of the Lunar New Year. Whether there is a problem here is another matter. At least Yuanchun knew that he was born at full term when he was born, and even if there were calculations in it, it was not risky.

Early in the morning of the first day of the Lunar New Year, as soon as Yuan Chun woke up, he got the news that An Concubine had given birth.

Since this day is also Yuanchun's birthday, Baoqin specially went to the imperial dining room to prepare a bowl of noodles, thinking it was for Yuanchun's birthday.

So this news got it from Mo Xiang.

While eating noodles with chopsticks, Yuan Chun listened to Mo Xiang talking about these things, compared with the story in the dream, while being surprised in his heart, he couldn't help but sneer.

"I knew that Concubine An was stupid, but I didn't expect her to be so stupid. I couldn't bear to look at her directly." To be honest, Concubine An was thinking of giving the eldest son of the emperor a happy birthday. , but it really shouldn't take such a risk.

Probably because the Yuanchun in the dream was not as favored as it is now, although Concubine An also wanted to have a good birthday, she chose the second day of the next month.

The dragon raised its head on the second day of February, but it was a better day than the first day of the first lunar month.

Although February [-] can be regarded as premature birth, in fact, it has been more than eight months at that time, which is no more than July now.

Mo Xiang is young and doesn't know much, although Baoqin is older, but because the Rong Mansion has always been proud of Yuan Chun's good birthday, she doesn't quite understand why Yuan Chun made such an evaluation.

That's all for Mo Xiang, Baoqin is indeed very familiar with Yuanchun, there is nothing to be afraid of, but he asked the question clearly.

"What's so good about a birthday on the first day of the first lunar month? It's nothing but a nice name. I'm also born today, but I'm just a concubine, so I don't have the qualifications to host a birthday party. It's not a problem. But the prince Diji's background is noble, and he will always be qualified to celebrate his birthday when he grows up. The first day of the first month sounds auspicious, but it's not very affordable. Who knows who will Visiting relatives and friends to participate in the birthday banquet on the first day of the new year, no matter how honorable it is, it is not acceptable, this is one of the many opportunities that the prince Di Ji Ping lost to win people's hearts." After all, Yuan Chun is just a courtier's daughter, and if she has a good birthday on the first day of the new year, she can go to the harem to fight for great wealth, which is not useless.But the prince Di Ji was originally from the richest family, so although he had such a good reputation, he actually lost more.

"On the other hand, the child is only in his early July at this time. Although there is a saying that seven lives and eight will not live, no matter how many months, a premature child is not as strong as a full-term child. Just look at Uncle Rongfu Brother Hu and Brother Lian will know about it." Yuanchun's uncle, Jia She, was supposed to have two legitimate sons, but the eldest son, Jia Hu, was born prematurely for some reason, and even if he raised him meticulously, he would not have been born. However, when he was sick, he was cured when he was five years old. On the contrary, although Jia Lian had worked hard for the death of his eldest son, Jia Lian forced Jia Lian to last until more than nine months because of being a mother. Coming out of Mrs. Zhang's womb, she was barely born at full term, so Jia Lian has always been healthy since she was a child.

Baoqin understood what Yuanchun said, and after thinking about it carefully, he understood what Yuanchun meant.Although Mo Xiang didn't know Yuan Chun's natal family well, she wasn't stupid, and she understood what Yuan Chun meant.

If it's just the first thing, it's all right, and the left and right are the last to calculate, and the one who suffers is only An Bin herself.But if it involves the safety and health of the emperor's heir, it is a major matter above all.Who in this harem is not a discerning person, if the prince can grow up well in the future, that's all. If anything happens, Concubine An is the chief culprit, and death is inevitable.

Yuan Chun understood clearly, but he was too lazy to deal with these things.

It was still early, Yuan Chun sneered and ate noodles slowly.The left and right concubines have nothing to do with her, and they have never been on good terms with her. It's too late for Yuan Chun to gloat, so there's no need to worry about her.

Yuan Chunsu wakes up early in order to have more time in the morning, so even if he eats slowly, he will have time to say hello, so there is no need to worry.It's just that today, when Yuan Chun had just finished eating and was about to wash up and change clothes, the empress sent a palace servant over first, and said that the matter of asking for peace was temporarily suspended for today.

Yuan Chun froze for a moment, and was still a little puzzled, but when he asked the question, he suddenly remembered the matter of Concubine An, and swallowed the question back.

Although concubine An in the dream was also considered premature, the difference was not much after all. Therefore, although the queen was also attentive, she was not worried and did not delay her daily life.

It's no different from today's days when the melons are ripe, but it's too big. After all, it's very dangerous. The child in Concubine An's stomach may be the eldest son of the emperor. Although the Queen inevitably hates Concubine An's ignorance in her heart, she still I had to grit my teeth to pick up this hot potato.
