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

Chapter 30

"There is no smart person in this world who would do bad business. If it weren't for Concubine An, she is a lucky person. I'm afraid this time it will end with one dead body and two lives. If Sister An Concubine is really not convinced, she will sit on the left and right." Confinement child, you might as well take advantage of this gap to think about it, if she is harmed, who can get the most benefit, it is not my age, who is already very difficult to conceive." Tu Mingjun has no affection for Concubine An However, after listening to Yuan Chun's argument, it happened that the Supreme Emperor was calling, so he left directly, leaving the job to the queen.

And Yuan Chun said this to Concubine An's maid of honor Pearl in a mocking tone in front of the queen.

These words are not only to remind An Bin, but also to remind the Queen.

Yuan Chun thinks that he has never done anything harmful to anyone, but there must be someone who is responsible for this matter, no matter whether this person is the culprit or not.

Yuan Chun didn't really care about what the truth was, there were only a few possibilities, so it was better to leave this issue to the queen.

After hearing Yuan Chun's words, the queen showed some thoughtful expression on her face.

Yuan Chun's words do make sense.

Counting this year, Yuanchun is already twenty-seven. Although in modern times this is still a prime age, but in ancient times, especially in the royal harem, this age can already be counted as the past.

Although Yuan Chun's so-called noble fate really poked the queen's eyes, just think that Yuan Chun will never have his own children in this life. Compared with other people, it is not a big threat after all. pressed down.

So the queen still talked to Yuan Chun in a pleasant manner, and then sent Yuan Chun away.It was very quiet and peaceful from the beginning to the end, as if Anpin's accusation that someone wanted to harm her because of her premature birth was just an illusion.

But later it turned out that this was not an illusion.

Yuan Chun was cleared of the suspicion, and returned to Fengzao Palace quietly. The basic necessities of life were as usual, and the small life was very peaceful.But in the harem, there are faint and turbulent signs. Although the surface is relatively calm, there are turbulent waves hidden inside.

But this has nothing to do with Yuanchun.

Anpin gave birth prematurely, although it was due to her own stupidity, but there must be something strange in it, and a culprit must be found to be responsible for this matter.Although the queen is not good at this kind of harem strife, but fortunately there are not many people in the harem now, and it is very simple. I just want to think about who can get the most benefit from An Concubine, and then put in all my strength. After investigation, the truth was found out within a few days.

But after all, it is still in the first month of the month, and there are so many taboos at this time, even as a queen, she doesn't want to suffer bad luck in the first month of the year.Therefore, even though the truth was found out, he forbears it for the time being, and only talked to Tu Mingxuan privately, thinking that he would settle accounts with this person after the first month. good year.

The eldest son of the emperor was born on the second day of the first lunar month. When the dragon raised its head on the second day of the second lunar month, it happened to be the full moon ceremony of the eldest son of the emperor.

Perhaps it was because Tu Mingjun had not yet had any heirs, and the eldest son of the emperor was different from the other princes in terms of identity. Perhaps it was also to compensate for the grievances and shocks of Concubine An, but this full moon ceremony was unprecedentedly grand.

Yuan Chun and Concubine An were not on good terms, and they were wronged because of Concubine An's premature birth before, so now they are just giving some things to the eldest son of the emperor in a proper manner, not offending anyone and not making a fuss deliberately, and then simply sitting aside to watch the excitement went.

It was indeed lively, and not only because of the excitement of the full moon ceremony, but also because the queen empress finally found out the real culprit, and then took advantage of the full moon ceremony of the eldest son of the emperor to make trouble.

The unlucky person this time was Concubine Yi.

There are not many people in Tu Ming's backyard, and their status is not high.Before Concubine An became pregnant, Concubine Yi was the first decent person in Tuming's harem other than the empress, but Concubine An was completely suppressed because of her pregnancy.

If it's just like this, it's fine, since the left and right concubines have the ability to get this first blessing, it can be regarded as An concubine's ability, but others can't be jealous.

If it was only Concubine An who stepped on her head, Concubine Yi was upset, but she finally gritted her teeth and endured it, and did not cause any trouble for a while.

Later, Yuanchun's favor and Jin Feng became the straw that overwhelmed the camel.

Before Tu Mingjun ascended the throne, apart from the empress, there were only two official daughters, Concubine An and Concubine Yi, in the Qian Mansion.Even Concubine Jian is just a court lady promoted by the empress, and even the first child of Tu Mingjun was born, but she couldn't pass them. .

However, Yuan Chun was promoted from the palace. He was just a nobleman at first, and then he was conferred the title of concubine within a few days. Probably not jealous.

In the dream, Yuan Chun was very proud of his birth, thinking that his birth was a reason to be a queen, wishing that everyone would know his noble birth, although such publicity would inevitably provoke the empress' dislike, but in the end he suppressed The possible dissatisfaction of the low-ranking concubines.

And although because of Yuanchun's butterfly effect, Concubine Yi was not able to conceive with Concubine An as scheduled.But now that there are not many people in the harem, Concubine Yi is still a lucky one, she is pregnant after all.

It sounds like a rare blessing, but it's not uncommon when you do the math.

There are not many people in Tu Mingjun's harem, and he is only waiting for the draft in May and June to fill the population.Although due to the small population base, almost everyone has the good fortune to serve as bed servants, but no matter what, the low-ranking dignitaries and beauties are still not everyone is blessed to give birth to children for Tu Mingjun. It is not uncommon for them not to be able to conceive in this case, depending on Tu Mingxuan's mood to decide whether to "stay" this time.

Among the high-ranking concubines, the queen has no idea of ​​getting pregnant now, but in private she intends to use contraception.And although Yuan Chun looks favored, but looking into it, the number of bedtime visits per month is really too little, and she is not too young now, so she has already missed the best time to conceive, so it is logical that she did not get pregnant .

Concubine An was already pregnant, so she couldn't sleep with her.Concubine Jian was even more physically injured when she gave birth at an early age, and she only lived with an imperial concubine, so it was impossible for her to have another child.In such a comparison, there is only one concubine Yi left, who is the most likely to conceive.

This woman who has a child in the harem, who doesn't want to compete for the position of the Holy Mother Empress Dowager.

Concubine Yi is more self-aware than Concubine An. She knows that her background is actually not high. If she wants to make her child competitive, she must use some external force.

For example, the title of the eldest son of the emperor.

The so-called eldest son of the emperor does not necessarily refer to the emperor's first born son, but can also refer to the eldest son of all the emperor's sons.

Although Concubine Yi has plans in mind, Concubine An's son is more than half a year older than her child. If Concubine An gives birth to the child safely, the title of the eldest son of the emperor will not fall to her anyway. on the child.

Concubine An was already six or seven months old when Concubine Yi found out that she was pregnant. With one dead body and two lives, he only dared to secretly bribe the people in An Concubine's palace, and spread some half-truth and half-false news, hoping that An Concubine would do something stupid by herself.

Concubine An was really a fool, she was tricked by Concubine Yi, who took oxytocin to give her unborn baby a good birthday, destroying her own foundation.

Concubine Yi saw that her plan had come to fruition, but she didn't know where she got the courage to think of killing two birds with one stone, and dragged Yuan Chun into the water.

Speaking of which, Concubine Yi's scheming was really not bad, and it almost succeeded.

If it wasn't for Yuan Chun, who was not a palace maid with no background in her imagination, but a real noble daughter of aristocratic family, with a lot of scheming and insight; If it wasn't for Yuan Chun being so smart that he could easily dispel the empress' fear of her, and make the empress feel that a barren woman like her is really not a big threat, concubine Yi's scheming would have been accomplished.

It's a pity that Concubine Yi wasted all her efforts in the end, and the queen even grabbed her by the tail.

It happened that Concubine An was very angry, so the queen decided to kill Concubine An as an example to the monkeys when Concubine An was born, firstly to give Concubine An justice, and secondly to use Concubine Yi's fate to scare other thoughtful people in the harem.

Concubine Yi murdered the emperor's heir and framed the concubines, she was demoted from title to talented person.Concubine An was deceived for her own selfish interests and made the eldest son of the emperor congenitally weak. She should have been reprimanded, but concubine An was the birth mother of the eldest son of the emperor, and concubine An was allowed to raise the eldest son, which was a mistake.Concubine Jian is gentle and quiet, and she has made great achievements in nurturing the emperor concubine. She is specially given the title of Shu and is the head of the six concubines.

Concubine Yi and Concubine An are both losers, while Concubine Yuan Chun and Concubine Shu Jian are sitting firmly on the Diaoyutai, but the fisherman gains.

Yuan Chun had expected this, but Concubine Jian had always lived in isolation, and now she just felt like a pie falling from the sky, and her heart was filled with joy.

On the night of the second day of February, Tu Mingjun did not rest at Concubine An who had just given birth, but at Yuanchun.

Because of Concubine An being deceived, Yuan Chun was judged as the culprit and was interrogated for no reason. Although Yuan Chun himself didn't think much of it, but in the eyes of others, he was wronged.Now that the truth has been brought to light, Tu Mingjun naturally wants to appease and compensate Yuanchun Yier.

In this case, Concubine Yi is the culprit and should be severely punished. Although Concubine An is the victim, she was at fault in the end. Even though she gave birth to the eldest son of the emperor, she could not be promoted, so she was only punished with a minor punishment. .Concubine Shu Jian always lived in peace, so she was not involved in this incident, but gained benefits for no reason, was rewarded by the Queen's words, and even got a decent title.This move was firstly to mention the identity of the emperor's eldest daughter, and secondly, it was also for others to see.

This time, although Yuanchun was wronged, he didn't get any reward and compensation. After thinking about it, Tu Mingjun planned to pamper Yuanchun for a few more days, and it was right to be compensation.

But Yuan Chun himself didn't feel Tu Ming's good intentions at all. After thinking about it, he only felt that the other party probably did it because of the embarrassment of the Supreme Emperor, but Yuan Chun was shocked and covered in white sweat , restraining his small movements again and again.
