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

Chapter 66

Yuan Chun's birthday ceremony was quite satisfactory, not very brilliant, but not too bad either.

Even for the sake of acting, the Supreme Emperor's Longevity Banquet will not invite too many foreign ministers to participate, it can only be regarded as a relatively large family banquet.

Several surviving princes of the Supreme Emperor all appeared, and a young Prince Yizhong and the imprisoned Tu Mingyan were also graciously appeared.

Although Tu Mingyan occupies a long word for everyone here, in terms of positions, it is Tu Jinghuai, Prince of Yizhong, and Tu Mingjin, the eighth prince, who are the most honorable.

Although Prince Yizhong is the concubine son of the old prince, he is the lord of the prince after all. Tu Mingjin was conferred the throne of the county a while ago, and he is also a legitimate son, so it is naturally more honorable.

"Brother looks thinner than before. My son thinks that the imperial doctor should take good care of him for a while." Although Tu Mingjun sat side by side with the Supreme Emperor, he gave way and sat on the left hand side of the Supreme Emperor. Don't forget to act like a generous brother in front of the Supreme Emperor.

Although he didn't like Tu Mingyan, he couldn't get around the fact that he was the eldest son of the Supreme Emperor.

However, before the Supreme Emperor thought of caring for Tu Mingyi, he immediately changed the topic to another place: "Jing Huai is the second brother's blood and blood, and also the son's nephew. He was harshly criticized by Princess Zhen before. Although Jing Huai has second elder brother's loyal servant by his side, and lives in the second sister-in-law's dowry village, but sometimes it is unavoidable to be negligent. The son wants to keep Jing Huai in the palace, whether he is kept with the queen or with the queen mother. Everyone around him is good, and people dare not criticize him."

Compared with Tu Mingyi, the Supreme Emperor naturally cared more about Yizhong old prince Tu Mingxi and his legacy, so he was easily distracted.

Fortunately, today the seats are arranged according to their positions, that is to say, no matter how respected and beloved Concubine Zhen was, she still has to sit honestly under the Empress Dowager today. The Taishanghuang whispered something, but there was no way to make Tu Mingyan feel a sense of existence.

What's more, everyone knows that Tu Mingyan and the old prince Yizhong are at odds with each other. If it is said that Tu Mingyan did not intervene in the matter of the old prince Yizhong, no one will believe it.When the Supreme Emperor pays special attention to the old Prince Yizhong's house, it is most appropriate for Tu Mingyi to act honestly and transparently.

Concubine Zhen Taigui, who had finally released her son by blowing the wind on the pillow to make the Supreme Emperor soft-hearted, was itching with hatred.

Tu Mingxuan didn't notice it at all, but he still sold it to the Supreme Emperor: "A pair of grandchildren and grandchildren were adopted by Zhen before, and they are also the great grandchildren of the father. Although the Ding family is unworthy, after all, the princess is our girl. The son thought that he might as well give the pair of children the title of second-class light chariot captain, and the second brother and the second sister-in-law must be thinking about the two daughters who were born in the first place."

Now there are only two married daughters and an immature Prince Yizhong left in the lineage of the old prince Yizhong, and there is nothing to fear at all. If they can completely suppress the lineage of Tu Mingyan by supporting them, it will definitely be worth it.

Hearing what Tu Mingxuan said, the Supreme Emperor naturally nodded in relief—after all, when the old Prince Yizhong died, he did not forget to burn a fire in the East Palace and killed his adult son and unmarried daughter together. Shi Ji concubine, leaving behind only one young son who was still a milk baby, can be regarded as a continuation of the incense.

On the whole, compared with Prince Yizhong, who is the only male now, the Supreme Emperor is naturally more familiar with and has a deeper affection for Tu Mingxi's two daughters from the first line.

The second-class captain of Qingche was a Xujue of the third rank, which was not the best kind, but for the heir of a married woman who abolished the crown prince, he was already considered decent.

"There is also Princess He Rui. Although what she said is not bad, it is because of the good family of the second sister-in-law. The son thinks that He Zhen's face is for her, and He Rui is also the second brother's daughter. You can't treat one more favorably than another, it's better to give some respect, not only for the princess, but also for the second sister-in-law's natal family. The son has already given a lot of rewards on his own initiative, and he thought it would be better to give some rewards to He Rui's children. "Although Princess Herui's life is not bad, adding icing on the cake is not as good as sending charcoal in the snow, but the reward to Princess Herui is more to show an attitude-the royal family has not forgotten the orphan of the righteous and loyal old prince.

Princess Hezhen was wronged, so she naturally wanted to refute the Ding family.Princess Herui had a good life, and this dignity was not only given to her, but also to her husband's family.

"After all, Herui's sons and daughters are a generation older than Hezhen's grandchildren. They might as well be first-class Qingche captains. As for the girls, they are treated equally. The two nieces' families can be named county monarchs. In the future Marriage is also decent." If the daughter of a family with a royal family status is extremely favored, she will have the title of county monarch, while it is impossible for a family with a foreign surname to have such a title.

This is a real face.

The two princesses have entered the palace this time, and after hearing this, they quickly got up and thanked each other.

To put it bluntly, the princesses of the Supreme Emperor probably don't have this dignity.

"Your Majesty is showing grace." Tu Mingjun's actions were so obvious that even the empress, who had no political sensitivity, could see it clearly.

Yuan Chun sat under the empress, but he could hear the words clearly: "At the beginning of the Tang Dynasty, Emperor Taizong chose Gaozong to choose someone who could treat his brothers generously. It can be seen that the hearts of parents in the world are not different."

It would be fine if the Supreme Emperor was gone, but now that the Supreme Emperor is still there and holds power in his hands, Tu Mingjun has to treat his brothers leniently just for the sake of acting.

Although the queen is not considered a talented woman, and she knows only a little about history, but she always knows about the eternal emperor like Tang Taizong Li Shimin.

The queen was thoughtful.

Tu Mingxun looked at the concubine's side, and sent someone to bring Prince Yizhong here.

No matter what the queen thinks, she naturally expressed her warm welcome.

Prince Yizhong is only six years old now, he is really still a child, he has not yet reached the age to pay attention to different seats for men and women, and these people at the table can be regarded as the elders of Prince Yizhong, so there is no taboo.

After knowing that Tu Mingjun intends to uphold the lineage of the old Prince Yizhong, the concubines in the harem will naturally not lose the chain at will, even the concubines who have always had no sense of existence are willing to hold Diji's hand and let her take care of Yizhong The prince is called Sixth Brother.

After all, Yuan Chun was the only one who felt a little awkward.

In the dream, Tu Mingxuan didn't show the idea of ​​bringing Prince Yizhong into the palace, nor did he mean to praise the old Prince Yizhong's line too much.So Prince Yizhong has been growing up in the dowry Zhuangzi of the old Prince Yizhong and his concubine. After a few years, Prince Yizhong was in his early ten years old, and he was encouraged by the people around him to commit treason - counting In fact, there is no shortage of ignorant calculations.

Although Tu Jinghuai's actions at that time did not actually pose any real threat to Tu Mingjun.But after all, it is not as good as the so-called praying mantis catching cicadas and orioles, who followed closely behind and caused a lot of damage to Tu Mingyu. If he hadn't made up his mind to kill Zhen There are two concubines, a mother and a son, and they happened to be lucky enough to catch up with the Supreme Emperor and died of illness not long after, otherwise the throne would not be known to whom.

So when facing the young Prince Yizhong, Yuan Chun inevitably felt a little awkward.

----split line----

When Prince Yizhong officially settled in the palace, Yuan Chun inevitably raised some opinions.

"Old Prince Yizhong has been the prince for so many years, and there are always some loyal loyalists who don't give up—no one can guarantee that none of these people around Prince Yizhong will have unreasonable thoughts. The Holy Majesty originally had good intentions, but If there is nothing good in the end, the result will be bad." Yuan Chun would not say this to Tu Mingjun directly if he speculated on his intentions, but he went to the Empress Dowager's Palace and said, "I'm not afraid of my mother's jokes, If I hadn't become the Holy Majesty's concubine, maybe there might not be some gamblers in my mother's family who wanted to take risks."

The Ningrong Second Mansion was originally the power that the Supreme Emperor gave to the old Prince Yizhong. Although it has been out of power for many years now, it still has some energy if it really breaks the boat.

"Prince Yizhong is just a child, and His Majesty cares about him wholeheartedly. The status of a prince is already not low, enough for him to be rich and honored for a lifetime—even if the old Prince Yizhong succeeded to the throne back then, judging by Prince Yizhong's background, it is about At most, he is just a first-class prince of the county. But if someone around him wants to coerce the emperor to make the princes, or is calculated by other people who are also calculating, then in his capacity, he can always cause some troubles. " Those who are good at chess think a lot, Yuan Chun does not hide his scheming in front of the Queen Mother, nor does he hide his help to Tu Mingjun, "It is better to let the Holy One give another grace, and promise those who are loyal to Yiyi. It would be good for the old prince to raise the orphans to be free, and it would be good to send a generous amount of money to allow them to leave their citizenship and become citizens."

Most of the people who have been slaves in wealthy families for a long time are not willing to go out-only in the Rongguo Mansion, it can be seen that the golden hairpin was thrown into the well immediately after being kicked out by Mrs. Wang.

But no matter what, in the eyes of the masters, this is grace.

"This is something that offends people, and the Holy Spirit cannot be allowed to do it." The Queen Mother also knew the truth, but it was unavoidable to be a little embarrassed.

"Although he loves his house, the Supreme Emperor is willing to protect the old man of the old Prince Yizhong, but if this person is against Prince Yizhong, then the Supreme Emperor will naturally not be soft--Prince Yizhong is young and has no ability to replace him. If those who think they are loyal are instigating or even taking advantage of it, it is naturally impossible for them to end well. I think the Supreme Emperor should make a decision on whether to sacrifice some people who are loyal to the old prince or to sacrifice his own children and grandchildren." Yuan Chun naturally would not If you come out on your own, the only one who can do this is the Queen Mother.

Either she came forward to tell the Supreme Emperor about it in person, or she asked the people who served the Supreme Emperor to remind him.

There are risks, of course, but as a mother, you will always be willing to take this risk for your son.
