Jia Yingchun of the Red Chamber

The shriek suddenly erupted, and all the concubines including the empress lost their color.

Everyone turned their heads in unison, and it turned out that Zhou Meiren and another pregnant Zhang Baolin were tripped by the eldest concubine Fu Jinyu at the same time, and the two rolled into a pile.Zhou Meiren rolled around with her stomach in her arms, and beads of sweat fell from Zhang Baolin's forehead like rain.

Fu Jinyu was completely confused, the concubine saluted, and she was the next wave, following the princess and prince's birthday greetings.She was supposed to wait at the next time, but she purposely wanted to be different from Shi Furong, who was sitting among the women of the imperial family.She was triumphant, but someone hooked her foot for the clinker. She was wearing embroidered shoes with high pads for the sake of looking good, and suddenly her heels became unsteady, and she rushed towards the little concubine who was kneeling at the end.

Regardless of whether the concubines in the harem are beautiful or not, their bodies feel like wickers that can support willows in the wind, and they are completely unprepared, like whole gourd strings, one after the other, falling into a groove.

The one who stood at the bottom and was crushed at the bottom was Zhang Baolin who was specially gifted by the empress because of the dragon veins in his belly, and was drawn to join him.

Generally, for such a major celebration as the Longevity Festival in the palace, concubines below the rank of concubine belong to the list of whether they can come or not.Originally, Zhang Baolin was not qualified to appear at the Empress Dowager's birthday banquet, but because Lin had a slight belly, and she was willing to flatter the Empress, he allowed her to attend the birthday party.

Zhang Baolin was in a state of excitement today, because apart from her being able to show up in front of the Empress Dowager today, there was also a happy event. Later, the Ministry of Internal Affairs announced the list of promotions, and she was among them.Because of his dragon veins, gifted by the empress dowager, Zhang Baolin is about to be promoted to be a fifth-rank talent.

For the Zhang family, this was a great joy for the ancestral grave to smoke.It should be known that this old Baolin is just the magistrate of Bapin County of a certain county.She, Zhang Baolin, came today with the feeling of honoring her ancestors.

The clinker turned out to be extremely joyful and sorrowful, and after suffering such an innocent disaster, Zhang Baolin's bowels also regretted greening for a while, regretting that he should rely on his stomach, and went to the Queen's Kunning Palace again and again to ask for birthday wishes.

Everyone was dumbfounded, but Nanny Gui, the head of Ningshou Palace, was still calm, and hurriedly asked people to find the imperial doctor, and carried Zhang Baolin, the beauty of Zhou, to the back hall for placement.

The empress dowager was dressed in a bright yellow golden phoenix and a peony phoenix robe, she was on the throne, her wealth was overwhelming, but her eyes were cold and there was no trace of joy.

On his own birthday, he actually provoked the concubine to start a new life.The queen mother was very displeased, and her eyes became sharp when she looked at the queen.

Empress Empress complained in her heart, she secretly stabilized her mind, and hinted that the praise officer should continue, and don't miss the auspicious time.

The praise officer had no choice but to praise again, and the queen led all the concubines to bow down again.

Clinker, some people don't want the Queen to pass the test easily.

Just when Yingchun was a little relieved and thought that the conspiracy was over, Concubine Ning, who was kneeling on the right side of Yingchun, suddenly made an attack. When everyone was panicking and kneeling unsteadily, she pushed and knelt in front of her and behind Yuanchun. Qin Zhaoyuan.

A concubine kneels down, not kneeling on both knees as most people think, but kneeling on one knee with one leg half kicked.

The empress is the head, and the four concubines are lined up next to each other.Concubine Shu is next to Concubine Hui, Concubine Li is next to Yuanchun, and Concubine Nine is behind.Behind Yuanchun is Qin Zhaoyuan, and behind Zhaoyuan is Concubine Ning.

Yingchun was side by side with Concubine Ning, to the left of Concubine Ning, and Yu Yuanchun was diagonally separated by Wei Xiurong.Concubine Ning, an old-fashioned concubine, was squeezed into the row of Yingchun, feeling very resentful in her heart, and her eyes shot around like knives.

It's just that this time was appointed by the empress, and Concubine Ning was crushed by those childless concubines and could only bite her teeth and swallow her blood.Because of Yuan Chun, even Li Yingchun didn't stare at her several times.

Originally, Concubine Hui planned to launch an attack when she got up and retreated after the birthday greetings, so that the maid who supported her would take the opportunity to attack, and attack the concubine Ning back and forth, taking the opportunity to make trouble.

Unexpectedly, Concubine Ning was suppressed, and she was furious. It just so happened that something happened later, and everyone felt lingering fear and uneasiness.Ning Pin had an idea, thinking that this was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

Furthermore, the Empress Dowager deliberately lost her face, no matter Li Concubine or Xian Concubine, but even Qin Zhaoyuan was ranked above her, she couldn't be more angry.Based on the principle that you make me sad and I make you unhappy, Concubine Ning decided to change the plan and launch an attack in advance.Just when everyone bowed down again, Ning Concubine took Qin Zhaoyuan's step down, and suddenly pushed Qin Zhaoyuan's footing, and was frightened again just now, like a frightened bird, she let out a scream, and staggered towards Yuan Chun.

According to Concubine Hui's original plan, when Yuanchun was hit, she would have to reach out and grab her left and right to stabilize her body. In this way, Concubine Li next to her would definitely act as the brunt and be affected. Then, arrange for the maids and Concubine Ning to take the opportunity to stretch their legs and stumble. It is complete.

Originally, everything was considered perfect, although Ning Concubine performed perfectly on the spot.

It shouldn't be wrong, because of the psychic variable of Yingchun, with the koi warning in advance, they are always on guard against them like big-eyed thieves.Although Yingchun was staring at Concubine Ning, there was still a distance between them, Xiurong and Zhaoyuan.Yingchun had no choice but to urge the koi to make a move.

The koi had been waiting early in the morning, but Ning Bin's eyes were blanked out by an illusion, and she suddenly changed positions. By the time she regained consciousness from another wave of screams, she had already entangled with Qin Zhaoyuan and rolled into a pile.

Concubine Ning wanted to design the ultimate goal, Concubine Li, but due to her inertia, she fell down when she looked to the left.Although Concubine Li fell, fortunately Concubine Shu made a meat pad, although she was a little dizzy, the fetus was fine.

Concubine Shu was also lucky. Although she was pressed down by Concubine Li, there was a thick blanket on the ground, but no one was hurt. It was just a big horse lying on the ground, and the golden hairpin on her head was shaking and the flower was distracted. The ground, in front of the hall, is disrespectful and unsightly.

Concubine Shu is very exquisite, the moment she fell to the ground she knew that someone was plotting against Concubine Li and Concubine Yuan Chun.Concubine Shu bruised her palm and knee, she didn't forget to step on the enemy's foot, her body arched wildly, and she tried her best to push the huge object on her body to the ground.

As a result, Concubine Li, who had nothing to do before, was turned upside down, causing her to hug her stomach and yell in fright.

Concubine Ning's other partner, Yuan Chun, lay trembling in Ying Chun's arms.

Originally, Yingchun could directly pick out her sister Yuanchun without bloodshed, but everyone was in disarray, and only Yuanchun looked good. It was not a bit shameful, so she took advantage of the trend and hugged Yuanchun with both hands. Hold it firmly, and then fall to the ground, using himself as a cushion, let Yuan Chun fall on top of him.

However, Yingchun's fall was much better than Qin Zhaoyuan and Concubine Shu's two meat pads, under which there was a koi fairy.Yingchun seemed to have landed on the ground, but it was actually on the koi, and its body was not covered with dust.

The koi was crushed by the weight of the two sisters Yingchun and Yuanchun, and it bared its teeth, and it didn't dare to move like Concubine Shu to lift it off, and it didn't dare to take back its body and let its owner Yingchun sleep on the ground. This little fairy felt that she was at a loss I want to ask for some compensation, ouch, ouch, yelled: "Oh, master, the little demon's waist is broken."

Yingchun pursed her lips and smiled, Yuanchun originally had the physique of a noble concubine. Although she was told by Yingchun to exercise and lose weight after pregnancy, she still has a plump figure at 130. Although Yuanchun's body is leaning on Yingchun, her round and solid buttocks happen to be full of koi The fairy is full of waist.Koi Fairy's slender waist was almost broken by Yuan Chun, so it's no wonder it didn't hurt.

Yingchun and koi ventriloquist: "Fortunately, add a thousand-year-old ginseng!"

Koi gritted his teeth when he heard the words: "Er Gen, master, you are holding back too."

In such an occasion, there is even a bargain, so Yingchun put on a serious face: "Shut up, there is a debt to be settled, and this debt cannot be escaped! Hurry up and help us up."

Holding Fengying Yuanchun, welcoming the spring is not easy. It takes a lot of effort to get the sisters to stand up together.

The koi pursed its mouth aggrievedly, and with a mantra in its hand, it slowly helped the Yingchun sisters up.In the eyes of outsiders, Yingchun struggled to help Yuanchun stand up.

At this moment, the empress dowager's face was already livid with anger, and so was the empress.

Hundreds of officials gathered in the Qianqing Palace, waiting for the Empress Dowager Feng to come and pay homage. Then, the emperor would announce a series of blessing orders following the Empress Dowager's birthday.

Originally, the Ministry of Internal Affairs planned to prepare a grand birthday banquet for the Empress Dowager, to receive pilgrimage in the palace, and then drive out of the Forbidden City, but to watch a play at the Summer Palace and hold a banquet. Placed in Ningshou Palace.

It was the emperor's repeated pleas and the Supreme Emperor's words that the Empress Dowager decided to come to Qianqing Palace to accept the congratulations from all officials.

Hundreds of officials gather at the clinker side, but it has been a long time since the Empress Dowager Fengluan arrives.The emperor's visit to court is over, and the news from Ningshou Palace has also come, but it is the emperor's wives who have accidents one after another, disturbing the good life of his mother.

Along the way, the emperor understood what had happened, and couldn't help being furious. He was a daring thief, and dared to disturb the Queen Mother's life.According to the emperor's temperament, he wished that there would be a trial and a decision to kill the person who provoked the trouble.But he also knew that on the birthday of the Empress Dowager, it is not advisable to act rashly, so he had to endure the anger in his heart and decided to coax the Empress Dowager first.

Emperor Qianyuan made an impromptu decision to let the officials go to Ningshoumen to welcome the Queen Mother Fengjia. He walked into Ningshou Palace and overturned several golden mountains. Shoubi Nanshan, eternal youth, thousand years old!"

This birthday speech is the emperor's birthday speech when the emperor first ascended to the great treasure. The empress dowager just became the empress dowager from the imperial concubine. It was also the first time the emperor called his mother a mother empress. I shed tears happily, and the grievances I had suffered all my life disappeared immediately.

At this moment, the empress dowager recalled the past, her eyes were still wet, she smiled immediately, and she walked down the phoenix seat to help the emperor, and the mother and son returned to the seat together, before the emperor said anything else, the empress dowager smiled: "Let's start offering gifts, Don't tell the ministers to wait too long."

The emperor's first gift was a tribute to his mother. The emperor praised the empress dowager's virtue, speech, appearance, and merit with gorgeous rhetoric.Then be grateful, because the empress dowager gave birth to the emperor.

The empress dowager smiled and narrowed her eyes.

Then came the queen's present. The queen's gift was a set of phoenix gowns embroidered with orchid patterns in gold silk. This gift is only eligible for the queen's empress, a dignified daughter-in-law. Meilun, other concubines are far behind.

Then, the four concubines offered their birthdays.

Because Concubine Li just fell down, she was frightened even though she didn’t move her fetus, the empress dowager ordered her to rest in the back hall, and the fourth concubine became the third concubine. Hearing that the emperor had arrived, he came out from the apse.

Although Nanny Gui blamed her for being ignorant, she didn't dare to speak ill of the mistress, so she had to ask the heavens to worship her.

Concubine Shu is a scripture of filial piety that is said to have been recited.

Concubine Hui embroidered the picture of Baifu Shou characters by herself. The characters Shou were written by the eldest son of the emperor and embroidered by Concubine Hui herself.

Yuanchun's picture of a hundred boys presenting their birthdays was unfolded, and the empress dowager liked it very much. She waved her hand and said, "Guixiang, come and see yours soon." Then he asked Yuanchun: "A hundred boys presenting their birthdays, isn't it a hundred boys?"

Yuan Chun bowed down and reported: "Returning to the Empress Dowager, there are exactly one hundred boys and one thousand birthday peaches, which coincides with the meaning of a hundred sons and thousands of grandchildren. The concubines wish the Empress Dowager a good life and health for generations to come. Congratulations to the Holy Majesty, the hundred sons and thousands of grandchildren, and the world!"

The Empress Dowager laughed at the same time: "Okay, good, good, the mood is good, and the words are good, there is a reward!"

For a while, the attendants held out the fragrant noble concubine's brocade robe: "The virtuous concubine of Chengqian Palace accepts the order."

Yuan Chun's voice was a little trembling: "The concubine accepts the order."

"I only rule the government first. Praise the elegance in Kunyuan. Rank Jin Chongban. Peiwoen Yu Xunming. Yizhang style examination. Rituals are added. Erxian concubine Jia's family, Dusheng famous family. Kebei Lingyi .Be respectful and cautious. Bow down. Bingroujia and nature. Jiaoye's fragrant voice came early. Duxie Henghuang. Xuanwei's Shude Pizhao. Honored by Lun. I hereby honor the empress dowager's benevolent order. Book treasure I was granted the title of noble concubine, and I was given the title of virtuous. Er Qi only worked hard at Suye, assisted Fan, and made a successor to Huiyin. Yanqing's family state, the position of a wife, and I will always be a family member, Qinzai!"

Yuan Chun was trembling with excitement, the thanksgiving was over, and the new imperial concubine's seat had risen, second only to the empress's seat.

When it was Concubine Li's turn to offer a gift, it turned out to be a pot of cold orchids.

Concubine Li bowed down and boasted: "This orchid is watered and cultivated by my concubine personally every day. The flowers are tall and straight, and the fragrance is elegant, which integrates the nature of the empress dowager. The concubine wishes the empress dowager a healthy body, youth forever, and blessings for all generations! "

All of a sudden, the servant brought up a large chest, and Yingchun recognized it. This is a small warm pavilion dedicated to keeping orchids warm in the Ministry of Internal Affairs. Yingchun also used this warm pavilion to carry agaves today. Because Concubine Li offered cold orchids, Yingchun finally decided to take a step back , Instead of offering cold orchids, offer tequila instead.After all, Concubine Li is the niece and daughter of the Empress Dowager, fighting her in the ring is afraid that the Empress Dowager will feel unhappy.

However, a few eunuchs opened the warm pavilion, lifted out the flower pots, and then raised the gauze cover. When they were about to remove the gauze cover, their faces turned pale instantly, and their whole bodies trembled involuntarily.

Concubine Li was still waiting for everyone to be amazed, the queen mother praised her, and the emperor was offering a reward, but seeing the eunuch stunned, she was immediately displeased: "What are you stupid, move out!"

One of the eunuchs quickly held down the gauze cover, slipped down, and knelt down to plead guilty: "The empress dowager made atonement, the servant is confused, and carried it wrong!"

Concubine Li was immediately elated when she heard the words, she lifted it wrong, could it be that she lifted it wrong in the Nuan Pavilion of Yanxi Palace?Concubine Li suddenly became excited, she didn't care about puffing out her chest and belly, got up abruptly, opened the warm pavilion with her own hands, and then suddenly lifted the gauze covering the flower pot.

But the moment Concubine Li took off the veil, there was a chill in the hall.But it turns out that there is no such thing as a tall and straight flower with an elegant fragrance orchid, but it is just a pot of dry grass that has withered long ago!

The empress dowager's face was ashen on the throne, and the emperor was furious: "Concubine Li, you are so bold!"

Concubine Li was stunned for a moment, but her face was filled with joy, she turned her head and yelled at Yingchun: "Mr. Jia, how dare you curse the Empress Dowager? You are going to die!" She turned her head and knelt down towards the emperor, and said, "Your Majesty, today is the birthday of the Empress Dowager Jia. It is unbearable for a little concubine to try to harm the mother of a country. My concubine implores the Holy Majesty to arrest Jia, as well as the virtuous concubine of Chengqian Palace, and give them careful punishment Si Yan tortured and asked for justice for the empress dowager and peace in the harem."

When Yuan Chun was in full bloom, something happened suddenly, his face turned pale with fright, and he was limp on the ground, but he knew in his heart that since his sisters were one body, Ying Chun couldn't have anything to do.What Yingchun did just now really moved Yuanchun, she couldn't let Yingchun have trouble.

Yuan Chun knew that Ying Chun would definitely not curse the Queen Mother, but others might not believe it, she knew that she had the blessing of protection, no matter how loud Concubine Li was, she would not be left in the cold palace.The most important thing now is to seek the understanding of the Queen Mother, and we must not allow anyone to arrest Yingchun. With all his strength, he climbed to the Queen Mother's throne and kowtowed: "The Empress Dowager's lesson, the Emperor's lesson, the empress dowager treats his concubines and sisters with great grace, full of wealth and wealth." I will not do such a shameless thing." Before the Queen Mother could speak, Yuan Chun turned his head and crawled towards the Queen: "Empress Empress, you know the behavior of the concubines and sisters, and the concubines and Chongyuan have no intention of offending."

The queen was also confused by this sudden turn of events, she couldn't tell who was right and who was wrong, but she was biased towards Yuan Chun in her heart, so she said: "I report to my mother and empress, my lord, my concubine thinks that no matter who it is, I will never To do such evil intentionally, it must be because the eunuch made a mistake when carrying it."

Seeing that the Queen wanted to excuse the Jia sisters, Concubine Li immediately retorted: "Hmph, misunderstanding, what misunderstanding, even if something happened on the spot, it should be fresh. Now not only the flowers are withered, but even the leaves are withered. Do you still dare to say that it was a misunderstanding?"

Concubine Hui seemed to see an opportunity at this time. The death of concubines Li and Xian concubine was one less disaster, and Jia Yingchun was also a minor disaster. She was flattering the queen mother all day long, thinking that no one knew her ugly intentions.

Concubine Hui felt that this was an opportunity to get rid of the Jia sisters, so she knelt down while leaning on the chair: "The concubine thinks that Sister Li Concubine is right. If the flowers wither, it can be said that they were not transported properly. Now that the leaves are withered, it can only be said to be On purpose!"

Concubine Shu's main target is Concubine Hui. At this moment, Zhou Meiren's matter has not been revealed, and she feels that it is not easy to make too many enemies. After all, Jia Yingchun is now favored by the Queen Mother, and Jia Yuanchun is pregnant with a dragon fetus.If this matter hadn't been ironclad, the emperor would not be willing to punish her sister, and with the empress around, she might just push her back and find an eunuch to take the blame, and it would be an understatement.

Concubine Shu didn't believe that it was Jia Yingchun who would be so stupid. She wanted to kill herself even though she was favored by the Queen Mother?She guessed in her heart that this was Li Fei's trap.

Furthermore, everyone seems to have overlooked a problem, but Concubine Shu saw it clearly. There was a number plate on the Nuan Pavilion, which clearly said --- Yonghe Palace three.Looking at Jia Yingchun's young age, she is calm and composed, and deliberately has a countermeasure.

The corner of Concubine Shu's mouth curled up slightly, but she watched the excitement and didn't say a word.

Turning around, she said that Yingchun, from a sudden change, concubine Li made troubles, and then the empress dowager was furious, Yingchun stared coldly at concubine Li jumping up and down to die, you must know that every word she said at this moment would fall on her own head later, I know if she will regret it later.

Yingchun originally waited for Concubine Li to perform a performance to see the situation before giving her a counterattack, but Yuan Chun came out of nowhere and disrupted the situation.Yingchun saw Yuanchun knocking back and forth, fearing that she would do something wrong, hurriedly stepped forward to stop her: "Sister, get up, I'm not afraid of shadows, get up, you're pregnant with a child!"

Yuan Chun stretched out his hand to pull Yingchun, and shouted: "Quickly kneel down and ask the empress dowager to calm down, and tell the empress dowager that you didn't do it on purpose, it must be the maid and eunuch who accidentally moved the wrong one, sister, you definitely didn't mean it, you are right Anyone with eyes in the palace knows that the empress dowager respects her."

Seeing Yuan Chun's words excited, Yingchun's face was flushed, she was really afraid that something would happen to her, she didn't dare to twist with her anymore, she hurriedly knelt down as she said, and kowtowed to the queen mother: "The emperor's lesson, the queen mother's mother's lesson, my concubine admires the queen mother Love and respect, but there is absolutely no disrespect towards heaven, earth, sun and moon!"

Because Concubine Li was preconceived, the Empress Dowager was shocked by these words. Someone even cursed her with dead flowers. Although she believed that Yingchun would not be like this, Concubine Li was eloquent and confused: "Of course I believe in you, but Why did Concubine Li speak so convincingly? Where did this potted flower come from?"

Yuan Chun thought that the Empress Dowager was going to convict the Spring Festival, so he hurriedly said to Emperor Qianyuan: "Your Majesty, don't you remember that every time Chongyuan Dao Chengqian Palace met the Emperor, he always talked happily about the pot of cold orchids, and he was drawn again. , It’s budding again, I go to the imperial dining room every day to wash the rice water, and then water it carefully, move it out when the sun is out, and move in when the sun is setting, muttering every day, always talking about the cold orchid, how to turn your face on it? What about Han Lan’s death? Your Majesty, you know that the few sweet-scented osmanthus trees in the backyard of Chengqian Palace have been wrapped in straw mats, let alone the orchids that are dedicated to the Empress Dowager?"

On the forehead of the emperor, he looked at the Empress Dowager: "Well, I know this, that girl waters the flowers with rice washing water every day, saying that the orchids are noble and clean, and it is not easy to use chemical fertilizers to desecrate them. I even laughed at her for being hypocritical."

Concubine Li saw that the emperor was wavering, and stared angrily with hatred: "Your Majesty, now is the time to try the case, not to recall the old relationship." She turned her head and scolded Yuan Chun: "Hmph, wolf ambition is the most hypocritical, isn't it showing wolfishness now? The flower is the ironclad evidence, what you say is useless, unless you live up to the flower, and the flower is full of branches, I will obey you!"

Yuan Chun was busy distinguishing: "Your Majesty, Chongyuan is the most kind-hearted. You have just seen, Empress Dowager, that my concubine was overthrown. It was Chongyuan who fell down on the ground to catch my concubine regardless of her own safety. Only the dragon fetus in the concubine's belly will be safe and sound, the empress dowager, it is a great achievement to save the emperor's heir, so I ask the empress dowager to see that she has made a contribution to saving the emperor's heir, so please forgive his mistake for a while!"

Concubine Li felt sore when she heard this, and said with a sneer, "Save the emperor's heir? You are her sister, of course she will save your child! Why didn't she come to save me? I don't have an emperor's heir in my stomach? "

Yuan Chun immediately said seriously: "Sister Li Concubine is wrong. Women obey three virtues and obey their husbands at home. My sisters are royals when they enter the palace. In terms of sisters, all concubines in the harem are sisters. But it’s true, it’s the blood of the sage, the heir of Sheji, the ancestor of Jiangshan Guozu, sister Li Concubine, please be careful with your words!”

Concubine Li's eloquence was no match for Yuan Chun's, and she was so angry that her neck was straight: "You, let your tongue shine like a lotus flower, this potted flower is the proof of your sister's rebellion!"

Yuan Chun was so angry that blue veins burst out on his forehead.Yingchun whispered to her quietly: "Sister, don't worry, I'm fine!" Immediately, Yingchun snorted coldly: "That's right. Wolf ambition, even if you have a lot of tongue, you can't erase the crime of disobedience!"
