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

Chapter 4

Although Concubine Zhen in the palace accepted Mrs. Wang's filial piety and promised to speak to Yuan Chun, but as a superior person, she really didn't take this matter to heart.

Just like when Yuanchun entered the palace before, she promised to give Yuanchun a good way out, and made Tu Mingjun a side concubine for Tu Mingjun, but in the end, she didn't delay Yuanchun's ten years in vain.

Although Mrs. Wang can be regarded as doing her best here, it was originally her own intention, and she didn't know that Yuanchun would come.And since Yuan Chun himself knew nothing about this and did not work hard with Mrs. Wang, and Concubine Zhen was also passive and sabotaged, although she was very anxious, she still waited for a long time and did not get a reply. .

On the other side of the palace, under Yuan Chun's four-way management, she stayed in the Queen's Palace peacefully and low-key for three months, and then returned to the Queen Mother's Palace peacefully, and did not disturb many people during the period .Even because it was she who tried her best to go back, many people didn't realize Yuan Chun's thoughts at all.

Although Mrs. Wang's movements are not slow, after all, Yuan Chun's side can be regarded as vigorous and resolute. Coupled with the slow motion of Zhen Taigui Concubine, she finally waited for Yuan Chun to return to the Empress Dowager's Palace with peace of mind, and Zhen Taigui Concubine finally talked to the Supreme Emperor Yuan Chun said this.

As the Supreme Emperor was getting older, and now he was not required to preside over the government in person, he was full of thoughts, and at most he could only grasp the general direction.

In this way, he is naturally free, and he has a lot of time to recall his youth when he is free.

As for his audience at a time like this, apart from Tu Mingjun, the people in the palace are also the concubines of the Supreme Emperor, and among them, Concubine Zhen has the most common language with him.

After all, in the Zhen family, besides the old matriarch Zhen, Zhen Yingjia, the father of the imperial concubine Zhen, is also regarded as a diehard loyalist of the Supreme Emperor, who was single-handedly promoted by the Supreme Emperor. Concubine Zhen and the Supreme Emperor have a common language.

On this day, the Supreme Emperor repeated the old minister's story again and again. Concubine Zhen remembered what happened in Jia's house, so she took advantage of the opportunity to transfer the topic to her old relative Jia's house.

The current children of the Jia family are unworthy, but Jia Daishan was indeed the emperor's number one confidant and beloved general back then.Moreover, Jia Daishan is not the son of an ordinary noble family, but he is considered a real military commander. Not only has he been loyal since the Supreme Emperor was the prince, but after the Supreme Emperor ascended the throne, he has made great achievements in the Southern and Northern Wars for many years. In terms of it, he is really loyal. A capable person.

Since ancient times, beauties are like famous generals, and the world is not allowed to see gray hair.In fact, many famous generals in the past and present have rarely died well, especially now that the country has not been established, although these generals have to be reused, they are inevitably guarded against.

It's just that Jia Daishan passed away early because of his serious injuries. He was not only loyal, but also rescued him many times, leaving a good impression in the Taishanghuang's heart.

Yuan Chun is Jia Daishan's eldest granddaughter, but with such honor, she finally got a little affection.

"This Mrs. Jia is the granddaughter of Mr. Jia's direct relative, and she has grown up by Mr. Jia's side for several years. When she entered the palace election, she happened to rush her natal family to something. If she left the palace, she would have wasted a lot of time. At that time, the girl was already in her teens, so it might be too late if she delays any longer. The concubine thought that she would have a bit of face, the two families were old relatives, and his family came to beg her, so the concubine made the decision. She stayed in the palace for a few days. But because the servants around the concubine were already full at that time, there was really no room for her, so she went to Sister Li's palace. Now that Sister Li has become the queen mother, she has been in the palace for many years. I had some affection with the little girl from the Jia family, and I wanted to give her a lifetime, so I let her go to the queen."

Concubine Zhen was not completely lying, but she picked herself up completely in her words, and didn't mention the fact that she kept Yuan Chun in the palace for ten years and basically forgot about her.

As for Concubine Zhen's petty thoughts, the Supreme Emperor didn't care.

To be honest, Yuan Chun is just an unknown pawn. Although he has a relationship with Jia Daishan, to Yuan Chun, at most, he has a little affection, which does not mean that he will value Yuan Chun more.

Although the Supreme Emperor has resigned from the throne, it is not that he has no intention of controlling the government. After all, he has ruled the world for many years, and it is impossible to give up the idea of ​​​​ruling the world overnight. In addition, he feels that there is nothing wrong with his life's achievements. After all, he felt that Tu Mingjun was young and had many shortcomings, and he thought in his heart that it would be best to make everything in the court as it was when he was in power.

You must know that Tu Mingjun was not ambitious when he was young, although he was not unmotivated when he was a prince, and he learned a lot.But he can't use it, and many of the things he learned are useless, and seeing many sons and brothers from noble families who are clearly ignorant but able to shine brightly, I feel uncomfortable after all.

Therefore, under such circumstances, it is no wonder that Tu Mingjun actually doesn't like the noble family.

However, it is impossible for the Supreme Emperor to understand Tu Mingjun's thoughts, and it is a matter of course that he wholeheartedly protects the veterans with whom he has a deep affection.

There was no deep affection between the father and son, and now there is a natural contradiction.Although the surface still showed the harmony of father's kindness and son's filial piety, everyone knew that there must be turbulent waves and turbulent waves inside.

As the Supreme Emperor got older, he became more and more self-willed. He didn't think that his thinking was wrong, but felt that it was because of Tu Mingxun's lack of intelligence.

The Taishanghuang had many sons in his life, but among all his sons, only the deposed prince was brought up by him patiently and single-handedly.Now that the Supreme Emperor is not young, waiting for Tu Mingjun, a grown-up son, has long lost the patience he had when he was young, so he simply wanted to instill his own ideas in Tu Mingjun, and then put Tu Mingjun on the ground. Just connect with your veterans.

In this matter, Yuan Chun is undoubtedly a good candidate.

Tu Mingjun's current status determines that he has to be filial to the Supreme Emperor, at least in this matter, it is completely impossible for him to disobey the Supreme Emperor's will.As for Yuan Chun's thoughts, it was not within the consideration of the Supreme Emperor.

First of all, Yuan Chun is just a weak woman, and it is certainly not without meaning to enter the palace.Secondly, since Concubine Zhen Taigui said this, it at least showed that this was the intention of Yuan Chunniang's family.

That's enough.

----------Dividing line----------

So, early in the morning after a few days, Tu Mingjun was summoned to his side by the Supreme Emperor.

After the Supreme Emperor abdicated, he often summoned the new emperor to come to him, firstly to express his attitude towards various things, and secondly to use the new emperor's hand to control the government.

Regarding this point, although Tu Mingjun was reluctant, he had to comply due to filial piety, and he got used to it for many days.

Among all the sons of the Supreme Emperor, although Tu Mingxuan was ranked relatively small, the only one who was really doted on by the Supreme Emperor as the youngest son was Zhen Taiguifei's ten princes.Before Tu Mingjun succeeded to the throne, although he was a prince, he was basically no different from a transparent person in the eyes of others.

Probably because when he was young, he longed for his father's love but was too disappointed. Now Tu Mingjun treats the Supreme Emperor with only filial piety. In fact, his affection is not deep.

But in the end, the Supreme Emperor has the advantage in terms of etiquette, and although he has become the new emperor, the Supreme Emperor is still there. As a father, he is still qualified to abolish the emperor and establish another.

Although the Supreme Emperor had chosen Tu Mingjun to succeed him, it did not mean that the Supreme Emperor had no other sons.

Concubine Zhen Taigui still has her eldest prince alive. Although Tu Mingye was refuted by the Supreme Emperor, she is still alive.Tu Mingyu has the Zhen family outside the palace controlling Jiangnan to dominate the court, while inside the palace there is the imperial concubine Zhen who is still a strong enemy in the harem blowing pillow wind.

And there are still younger brothers behind Tu Mingjun, and these people are also growing up, and it's not that all of them are powerless.

As an emperor who has succeeded to the throne, if someone else ascends to the throne, he will definitely not end well.But Tu Mingxun didn't want to let himself fall to this point no matter what, so he could only respond aggrievedly.

The Supreme Emperor still has his old ministers in the court, and he is quite well informed about the big and small affairs in the court.It just so happened that there were actually no major affairs in the court that day, but some trivial matters, so he simply didn't discuss the government affairs with Tu Mingjun at all, and just acted like he was dreaming about the past last night.

Although Tu Mingxuan was young, he had grown up in the palace after all, so it was impossible for him to be innocent and innocent.I felt in my heart that it was impossible for the Supreme Emperor to suddenly withdraw his temper, but due to his limited status, he had no choice but to listen carefully, so he could only listen patiently to the Supreme Emperor's old tune.

The Supreme Emperor has been in power for many years, and there are veterans and loyalists, among whom there are civil servants and military generals, many of them.The Taishang Huang talked about it from when he was a prince when he was young, and slowly recalled the past.

Although the Supreme Emperor is the crown prince, he is not very favored by the former emperor. Although the veterans he grew up with when he was the prince are all decent, but there are not many of them, and these sons are either dead or dying. I am old, and there is no one who is still active in the court today.

Before, the Supreme Emperor asked Tu Mingjun to promote many nephews of his old ministers. Most of them directly talked about how the children of a certain family or directly let his direct line veterans operate, but never in such a roundabout way. For a moment, he didn't think of anything.

In fact, this is not to blame for Tu Mingjun's slowness.

You know, although he knows that there are various forces in the emperor's harem, he is also prepared for the plan that the Supreme Emperor will inevitably intervene in his harem, but he did not expect that the Supreme Emperor will intervene so quickly, and he can't even wait for the normal draft in half a year. .

Moreover, because of Emperor Ether's temperament, if he really wanted to interfere in his own harem, he would probably do so directly or indirectly through the draft season, so he would definitely not think about it at this time.

It would be logical for Tu Mingjun to bestow someone with his status as the Supreme Emperor, and it would also carry the sense that an elder bestowed an inescapable gift, so there is no problem.

It was also the Supreme Emperor who believed the words of Concubine Zhen Taigui and planned to praise Yuanchun, but he did not lose all his imperial ingenuity, so he sent his confidants to inquire for a while, and only then did he know that Yuanchun was already 24 or [-] years old.

You know, in today's world, ordinary people start seeing each other when they are about ten years old, and they are ready to get married, but the girls in decent families get married when they are fifteen or sixteen at the latest.It seems that girls who are really fast can start looking after their children and waiting to hold grandchildren at the age of Yuanchun.

In this way, Yuan Chun is indeed old.

Although the Taishang Emperor didn't care much about Yuan Chun's life and death, but thinking that she was also his old man's girl after all, Jia Daishan had a good impression in his memory, so he didn't intend to let Yuan Chun continue to be a servant, and it was rare to feel compassion He sincerely wanted to give Yuanchun a result.

For the girl's family, becoming the emperor's harem was the best ending, not to mention that Yuan Chun has reached his current age, so he should not be picky.

As for Yuan Chun's current age, whether entering Tuming's harem can get a good result, this is not the concern of the Supreme Emperor.

The Supreme Emperor pretended to be recalling the veteran, and talked about the benefits of Jia Daishan's loyalty back then, and then mentioned that a girl from Jia Daishan's family seemed to have entered the palace, and was given to the queen by the Queen Mother as a caring person.

The meaning of these words is also obvious, and compared to the Supreme Emperor presiding over the government, being meddled in the harem is not an unacceptable result.No matter what he thought in his heart, Tu Mingjun still responded respectfully on his face.
