Jia Yingchun of the Red Chamber

Concubine Shu is the most honorable woman in the harem besides the empress dowager. In Concubine Shu's eyes, Concubine Hui is nothing more than the emperor's random nonsense. Otherwise, how could there be a vacant position for the second concubine of Xiande, who was given the position of Concubine Yang but not given the title? , Yang did not want to be called Concubine Yang, so she asked to be called Concubine Hui.

In Concubine Shu's eyes, the word Concubine Hui is just a joke, it's ridiculous that Concubine Hui wants to jump up and down without knowing it.

The palace pays attention to the inferiority of the left and the superiority of the right, and concubine Shu is the first person under the empress.

When Concubine Ning provoked Yuan Chun knowingly, Concubine Shu sat in the first seat on the right, watching from the sidelines with a smile on her face.

Concubine Ning is willing to die, and Concubine Shu is happy to see it succeed. It would be best for Concubine Ning to drag her master, Concubine Hui, mother and son to die together.

In this way, my emperor's son will be the only one out there, and no one will block my mother and son.Concubine Shu is very disgusted with Concubine Hui's mother and son jumping up and down. Fortunately, the sky is what people want, and Concubine Hui is not in the line of King Zhongshun, otherwise, her mother and son will not have a good life.

However, Concubine Hui's marriage to the Fu family still made Concubine Shu feel uncomfortable. Although the Fu family was not as powerful as the Zhongshun Palace, it was a scholarly family, and with the noble princess, it was now the most noble family in Kyoto.The second prince is afraid that he will not be able to find a noble Yue family that can rival him.

There is only one man in the palace, and only one golden chair. Therefore, the women in the palace are either you die or I live.

The eyes slid all the way from Concubine Ning to Concubine Li Yuanchun, and Concubine Shu's eyes became even more sneering.

Just as Yuan Chun looked down on Concubine Shu in her heart, Concubine Shu also looked down on Yuan Chun's birth in her heart.It sounded like a family of meritorious service, but it was just a reckless man who murdered and robbed himself of goods, so he couldn't compare to his own family of scholars.

Especially Concubine Li, who was born in a reckless family, but in order to recommend herself, a lady from all over the world even participated in a small election to become a female official in the palace. It sounds good to be a female history, but in fact she is just a slave who serves others, so what right do you have to scold Ning? concubine?

Concubine Shu's eyes flicked from Yuan Chun's face to Li Concubine's face, she smiled sweetly, but she was viciously contemptuous in her heart: Can flying on a branch erase the humbleness of the past?

One by one the crows don't see themselves black, they don't know what it means!

However, compared to Concubine Li and Concubine Yuan, Concubine Shu hated Concubine Li even more.

It must be known that concubine Shu intended to please the queen mother at the beginning, and wanted concubine Li, who is a female historian, to marry her natal brother. Concubine Li, the clinker, is extremely hateful. The truth of hatred.It's really abominable, but Concubine Li is perfunctory on the surface, using Concubine Shu's younger brother as a way out, secretly seducing the emperor, and actually having an affair with the emperor in the empress dowager's palace, this is shameless.

Fortunately, Concubine Shu's desire to marry the Wu family is still in the planning stage. Apart from Concubine Li and Concubine Shu, only the Queen Mother knows Concubine Shu's intention.

My brother has been suffering for ten years, and he managed to leap from the dragon gate to become a student of the emperor, a scholar of the Hanlin Academy, and a close minister of the emperor, and was almost destroyed by this bitch, Concubine Li.It is tolerable or unbearable!

As long as Concubine Shu thinks that Concubine Li is using her to get close to the emperor to compete for favor while she is making false promises to her, and almost let her brother Jiyue's younger brother's green cloud cover her, and her future will be ruined, Concubine Shu can't wait to let Concubine Li die One dies.

However, it's not yet time to turn against Concubine Li. Concubine Li is just the empress dowager's niece and has limited influence. Concubine Shu is now planning to have her son marry the grand-nephew of the empress dowager's natal family, the eldest daughter of the Zhen family, as concubine.Therefore, no matter how much Concubine Shu hates Concubine Li, she still needs to stabilize this bitch for now, lest she ruin the future of the emperor.

Seeing the empress come forward to quell the dispute at this moment, Concubine Shu immediately took action, intentionally taking a step behind Li Concubine, and gave Li Concubine a big smile. The smile on her face was sweet and sincere: "Ning Concubine always likes words that don't express her meaning and speak indiscriminately. , we generally ignore her, why would my sister be angry for such a ignorant person, it really doesn't make sense."

Facing Concubine Shu, Concubine Li felt a little guilty, the arrogance on her face dropped sharply, and the angle of her jaw lowered slightly by three points: "Sister Concubine Shu said so."

Yuan Chun originally walked behind Concubine Shu, Concubine Shu voluntarily backed down, Yuan Chun followed closely beside the Empress, turned around in the midst of his busy schedule, and gave Yingchun a comforting smile through the crowd.

Today's verbal sarcasm, I am afraid that Yuan Chun, who has always been docile and welcomes the spring, will feel timid.But seeing Yingchun's expression was natural, she made up her mind.

The empress led the way, and a group of people walked around the imperial garden and went up the long street, heading for Ningshou Palace.

The atmosphere of Ningshou Palace is much more solemn than that of Kunning Palace. The Empress Dowager has not yet been seated, and the Empress is the head, standing quietly waiting. The whole hall can hear needles falling, but no one hears.

When the Empress Dowager was ascended to the seat, the Empress respectfully paid her respects. The Empress Dowager asked for a seat, followed by the Concubine Shu. There were 23 concubines, big and small, and they had to kowtow three times and bow nine times before they got up and gave the seat.

"Give a seat!"

The Empress Dowager smiled benevolently, and her voice was full of auspiciousness and intimacy.The empress's smiling face is very different from the empress's fake fairy-like smiling face. The empress dowager's eyes glide across the faces of all the concubines, and the kindness and joy on her face come from the heart.

These beautiful women stayed after the empress dowager was satisfied. The empress dowager and the emperor looked at beauties differently. The emperor picked people and looked at their faces. Hold your waist, then ask about your background, look at your family background, and almost register your name.

The queen mother is different. The queen mother chooses beauty from the buttocks. First of all, you have to have a big buttocks. There is a saying in sackcloth physiognomy. A woman with a fat buttocks is a sign of a man.Although the imperial palace does not need concubines to manage the family, the mother and concubine of the future prince and princess must not look poor and mean.

Satisfied with this point, continue to look upwards, as long as you are not five short, with a bucket waist, this is enough, and then look at the skin and face, the Queen Mother likes the full duck egg face in the sky and the silver plate face like the full moon. luck.

Draw a circle between these two faces, and the rest are out of the Empress Dowager's eyes, and then, the Empress Dowager will choose almond eyes and emerald eyebrows from this circle.If these three elements are met, draw a circle and then remove those with dark complexion. This kind is not only unattractive, but may be seriously ill. How can a prince be born of a sick bun? A second prince is sick enough.

Then, the remaining circle of people looked at their family background one by one.If they meet, the queen mother will remind the emperor: "This one, that one, and those few seem to be blessed to have children."

The emperor said: "The queen mother is the master!"

Of course, the Empress Dowager would also consider the emperor's son's wishes, and would occasionally slip through her fingers for those beauties whose family background was not obvious.Food and sex are also, the emperor is not a god, and it is human nature to be debauched occasionally.But the queen mother grasped one thing, and the awl face with a prominent family background would never let go.However, I also want to thank the queen, the tall and powerful beauty with an awl-faced face, who almost lost everything when the first round of the imperial garden was cut off by nature.The rest are from unremarkable family backgrounds, or those who are not favored at home, which just meet the criteria of the queen mother's hourglass. Today's few awl-faced beauties standing at the end are just like that.

Although Yingchun was not left behind by the queen mother herself, she almost died because of the queen mother, and Yingchun's face is between the duck egg and the silver plate, which belongs to the silver plate with one point added, and the duck egg with one point reduced, which belongs to the lucky category in the eyes of the queen mother Therefore, the Queen Mother has no objection to Yingchun being selected.

The empress dowager's loving eyes ignored the emperors behind who left behind the beauties with awl faces, and fell on the faces of the concubines in the front two rows very lovingly.Then he affirmed all the concubines with a cheerful voice: "Well, your fathers and grandparents are the pillars of the imperial court. You are all blessed women. Now that you enter the palace, you must inherit the loyalty of your fathers, be loyal to the country, serve the queen wholeheartedly, and open for the emperor. The branches are scattered." Finally, the Empress Dowager threw out a huge bait with a smile: "Whoever of you is the first to give birth to an heir will be a hero of my Great Yong Dynasty, and there will be a great reward."

Meritorious officials are conferred marquis titles, what rewards are concubines for their meritorious service?It's obvious that the seat in the harem will move up.

As soon as these words came out, it was like a heavy bomb falling into the water. In an instant, the hearts of all the concubines started to stir like boiling water, their eyes sparkled and their cheeks glowed. To have a son, you must have a dragon seed. ah!I can't wait to go back and save the emperor in my hands, coax him to bed, get the seeds, and have a son.

Especially the concubine who is the ninth concubine, she has a high level of consciousness, and she has already thought of establishing a crown prince. Now the emperor has three sons, the third is a sick bun, and the old lady comes from a humble background. The eldest prince and the second prince don't seem to be very favored. Woolen cloth?

The position of concubine is one step away from the position of concubine. Once I am lucky enough to give birth to a son, I can be promoted to the position of concubine, and my son can compete with the eldest prince and the second prince. Who will win, there is great hope!

Yingchun discusses seniority, sits at the end of the right, just hides behind and has a panoramic view of the expressions of the colleagues in front of her. When the queen mother's words fell to the ground, Yingchun became excited when she realized that many concubines were beaten with chicken blood, and their eyes lit up. A faint light flickered.

Yingchun only thinks that this pair of black pupils shining with the flame of desire is more beautiful than modern cosmetic contact lenses.

The ideal power is really amazing!

Yingchun sighed and at the same time, found that the elder sister Yuanchun's eyes seemed to glance at her. Yingchun was stared at by her naked calculating eyes, and the sweat pores all over her body shrank immediately, and she was busy straightening her back.

The concubine's agitated emotions infected the Queen Mother. The Queen Mother was in a great mood when she saw her son, these round and beautiful wives. She was excited and began to distribute sweet dates. Everyone present got a share, and everyone got a palm-sized brocade box.

Yingchun followed the concubines to bid farewell to the Queen Mother, and then sent the empress to drive, and all the concubines dispersed.According to Yingchun's understanding of the real life of the concubines in the harem, and without the special summons from the three superiors, Yingchun's official duties should have been successfully completed on this day, and the rest of the time is free time.

However, Yuanchun doesn't seem to have the intention of letting Yingchun fly solo. Yuanchun thinks that Yingchun doesn't know much about the living environment and lifestyle of the harem.

Yingchun herself also felt that this training was very necessary. According to Yingchun's understanding, life in this harem requires low-key humility and peaceful coexistence, but Yuanchun scoffed at it.Yuan Chun thinks that the rule of life in the harem is to find one's own position, respect must be respected, and crushing must be crushed, and the upper and lower must not be misplaced.

Yuan Chun couldn't understand the way Yingchun got along with the beauties in the attached palace. She thought that Yingchun was too lenient. As long as she didn't bully these low-ranking concubines, it was a gift to them. There was no need for Yingchun to act like this Special courtesy.Of course, there are exceptions. Sometimes in order to use someone to achieve a certain purpose, for example, to let a certain woman become his eyes and ears, he needs to be promoted and wooed. It is the highest state.

In short, living in the harem is a combination of interests, each taking what it needs.

Yuanchun told Yingchun that if Yingchun really went to Zhongcui Palace to bow down to Concubine Ning, she would be laughed at by everyone in the harem.It's best not to have any contact with other concubines in the harem without private contact, otherwise, the empress will have to think about it too, what does De concubine mean by this?Did he form an alliance with Concubine Shu or Concubine Hui in private?

This is a big deviation from Yingchun's life habits for many years: "Is the concubine in the harem not allowed to sneak around?"

Yuan Chun squeezed Yingchun's fingers and smiled lightly: "It's not that you can't go through the door, but you can't just go through the door casually. For example, on the birthday of Concubine Shu and Concubine Hui, you can go to drink and listen to operas to congratulate. Luo Xia is not. Usually, you don’t need to walk around at will, because the queen doesn’t like concubines to be amiable, which is not conducive to her control of the overall situation. Of course, my sister has nothing to do, just treat Chengqian Palace as her own home, and come whenever she wants, because, even if my sister you In the eyes of outsiders, my sister and I are separated from each other and belong to the same country. Even if you want to become a country with Concubine Shu, Concubine Shu and Concubine Hui will not trust you."

In this way, Yingchun seems to understand the law of survival in the harem, just like Yingchun was in kindergarten when she was in elementary school. If you get along with Zhang San, you don’t have to deal with Zhang San’s enemies. You have to go up and help pinch him without hesitation, otherwise, Zhang San will immediately announce that he has broken up with you.

That is to say, Yingchun is now in the same party as Yuanchun, and Yuanchun was born in Kunning Palace, so Yingchun will not hesitate to attach to Kunning Palace, like Concubine Ning provokes Yingchun, Yuanchun shoots to death, the empress will never blame, but secretly supports.

Yingchun explained her understanding, Yuanchun clapped her hands and laughed: "Sister is smart, that's exactly what she is!"

Yingchun's head was full of black lines, and she was smart. It's all at the kindergarten level!This is too childish and embarrassing. Isn't it true that concubines in the harem should hide their secrets and be full of tricks, playing lurking, playing spy, playing Li Daitao stiff, and blooming on trees?

Yuan Chun was very happy that Yingchun was so transparent, she understood everything, smiled and pouted: "Don't want to see the reward from the Empress Dowager?"

When Yingchun opened it, it turned out to be a pocket-sized emerald Ruyi.Translucent and crystal clear, it is the best at first glance.Yingchun took another look at Yuanchun, probably Yuanchun's gift would be better than her own.Yuan Chun opened the gift box with a smile, and found that it was the same as Yingchun, also Yu Ruyi.No matter Yang's color is almost the same, it seems to be mass-produced.

Yingchun was stunned, did the queen mother's things turn out to be produced batch by batch?

Yingchun's awkward expression made Yuanchun laugh: "You will know after a long time. During the festivals, the empress dowager will reward Yu Ruyi, wishing the children and grandchildren all wishes come true. This jade ruyi is specially ordered by the empress dowager to make it. Give the reward to the concubines, and wish the concubines all the best."

But in an instant, Yuan Chun's eyes seemed to be lit, bright and hot: "As long as you really make the Queen Mother happy, then there will be endless rewards and praises in the future!"

Yingchun felt that Yuanchun was obsessed with being obsessed with the child at the moment, and hurriedly asked about the effect of yesterday's medicinal bath: "Did sister have any reaction?"

These words made Yuan Chun's eyes warm: "Speaking of which, thanks to my sister's reminder, I felt refreshed after taking the medicine bath last night, and I slept well all night. Today, the pain in my lower abdomen is more than half healed. Soak in the creek again."

Baoqin also joked on the sidelines: "That's not all, I got up early today, and the servant girl put blush on the master, but the master's skin was softer and brighter than the blush color, making the rouge even gaudy , so I just spread some pearl powder thinly on my master, and the effect is even better than before."

There is no woman who doesn't like that her enchantress is not old. Yuan Chun was overjoyed when he heard the words: "Really, let me take a look."

Baoqin really held the mercury mirror box, Yuan Chun looked left and right, gently stroked his cheek with his slightly curved middle finger, rubbed it carefully, and pursed his lips with a smile: "This is really strange, it's back to fifteen or sixteen years old." It's a sight."

Yingchun was busy being amazed and making fun of it: "Oh, really, I don't think the medicinal bath prescription of our ancestors has beauty effects!"

Yuan Chun pursed his lips and smiled sweetly: "I'll ask the imperial physician about this later to see if it makes sense."

Yingchun hurriedly said: "It's not that my sister doesn't take medicine anymore, how can I find the imperial doctor again?"

Baoqin smiled and said: "Madam Chongyuan doesn't know, the imperial doctor has been ordered to take care of Madam for more than two months, usually three days to change the pulse, today is the time to ask for pulse!"

Baoqin was quite proud of his words, the Holy Majesty personally ordered the Imperial Hospital to recuperate the empress' body, everyone knew that this was the emperor's hope that his empress would give birth first.

Yuan Chun's heart was very beautiful, but he blamed him and said: "I just love to talk. In such a situation, there is no food. It's been a long morning. You are not hungry, but I am hungry!"

Yingchun originally thought that she would be free to move around after eating, but unexpectedly Yuanchun stretched out her hand to stop her: "What's the hurry, Doctor Wang should be here at this time, so my sister asked for a pulse to see if there was something wrong, or Good to prepare."

Yingchun bit her lip and agreed, feeling very depressed, as if anything that Yuanchun said could have something to do with Cheng Chong's heir, could it mean that if you are not crazy, you can't survive?

Yingchun just took a sip of a cup of tea here, and the eunuch guarding the gate outside reported back: "My lady, the imperial doctor Xiao Wang of the imperial hospital has come to check his pulse."

Yingchun hurriedly put down the teacup and sat upright.

Yuan Chun patted Yingchun's hand: "Don't be afraid, we are the masters, this is our territory!" Fu smiled outside again: "Please come in!"

Yingchun did not expect that the imperial physician who took care of Yuanchun turned out to be the imperial physician Xiao Wang.

Baoqin put up a small screen in front of the couch, covering the heads and faces of the Yuanchun Yingchun sisters.

Doctor Xiao Wang came into the hall, first knelt down in front of the screen to say hello, then walked a few steps on his knees, placed a pulse pillow on the table in front of the screen, and cut Yuan Chun's pulse through the screen, then switched hands left and right to cut the pulse, about a moment passed, Imperial Physician Wang said in a clear voice, "Congratulations to Mistress Zhaoyi. Judging from the pulse condition, the medicine seems to be right for your symptoms, and your pulse condition has calmed down a lot. I will wait for the servant to consider the next prescription. In this way, after more than a month of recuperation, your empress will be healthy again." recover.

"However, the empress still needs to listen to my minister's advice, such as melons to cool off the heat, as well as hot and dry fruits such as oranges, pears, lychees, mangoes, bananas, and longan. During the conditioning period, the empress should eat less, and it is best not to eat them. Behavior, the drip can no longer be touched.

Furthermore, during the period of taking the medicine, the empress should take a walk in the morning and evening every day to exercise her muscles, bones and blood vessels, and avoid catching cold, and don't worry too much about physical exertion.If you relax your mind, sleep well, and feel good, and assist with decoction, you will get twice the result with half the effort, and vice versa.Please also remember the empress. "

Yuan Chun had already heard these remarks from more than five doctors, and he knew that they were justified, so he agreed immediately.Immediately, Yuan Chun pointed and sat opposite to welcome the spring: "This is Empress Chongyuan from the Palace of Yanxi Palace, please ask Imperial Physician Wang to check the pulse of Empress Chongyuan!"

Doctor Xiao Wang lowered his head and cupped his hands: "Yes, please take your seat!"

Baoqin moved the screen to Yingchun, and the doctor Xiao Wang closed the house again to feel the pulse, opened his eyes after a while, and put away the pulse pillow.

Yuan Chun's eyes were full of eagerness: "How?"

Doctor Xiao Wang lowered his head and clasped his fists, the corners of his mouth slightly curled up: "Reporting to Mistress Zhaoyi, Mistress Chongyuan is in good health, just wait for the day to come, and the Ren pulse will be cleared up. At that time, it will be all right."

Yuan Chun frowned: "A woman gave birth to Guishui at fourteen, and she has been fifteen years since she was a Yuan."

Doctor Xiao Wang said: "Women's guishui will arrive sooner or later varies from person to person. Some may arrive as early as [-] guishui, and some may arrive as late as [-] days. It depends on each person's constitution."

Yuan Chun bit his lips, thinking in his heart, if his conditioning is not going well, it is best to let Ying Chun be favored, it is too late for him to be 17 years old, because he said: "Is there any way to force it out?"

Yingchun's eyes burst into cold air when he heard the words, no matter how he heard these words, it sounded like he was going to kill a chicken to get its eggs?

Yingchun clenched her lips and lowered her head, curling her lips into a sneer, she would rather die than drink that birth-inducing medicinal soup.

Fortunately, the words of Imperial Physician Xiao Wang gave Yingchun a solution: "Guishui is a sign of a woman's maturity, and the use of drugs is no different from counteracting seedlings and encouraging growth. It will harm the harmony of the sky, and it will be harmful instead of beneficial."

Yuan Chun frowned when he heard the words.

Doctor Xiao Wang said: "However, Madam Zhaoyi's health has improved a lot, I will go to prescribe it right away, I believe that Madam Zhaoyi's wishes will come true in the near future."

When Yuan Chun heard this, he was in a good mood: "Go, if I get what I want in the future, Imperial Physician Wang will definitely get everything I want."
