Yuanchun of the Red Chamber is not a virtuous concubine

When the New Year's banquet is approaching, the Supreme Emperor and the Empress Dowager will also return to the palace, followed by those concubines. It is for this reason that even the harem can move more palaces for the concubines to live in. The empress He and the empress dowager did not move either, because the dowager in Changchun garden would not have her own bedroom after returning.

Because this was the first annual banquet since the emperor ascended the throne, it was naturally grand, and the civil and military ministers of the Manchu Dynasty all brought their wives to attend. It is convenient to serve the Supreme Emperor on one side, and only set up another table next to the Supreme Emperor.

Because the Supreme Emperor occasionally met with other children, and Prince Li stayed behind closed doors, the court has stabilized during this year. The emperor is not in a hurry to arrange his own manpower. Anyway, the most important household secretary is Lin Ruhai. He had joined the emperor early in the morning, and there were people from the emperor in the Ministry of Rites.

The emperor also promoted the thirteenth master to be the governor of the nine sects.And Wang Ziteng got his wish and was promoted to an official position. Although he was no longer in charge of the emperor's family, but when he returned to the capital after the expiry of his term of exile, he might be eligible to join the cabinet .

Even the ex-princes who have their own thoughts can't figure out any tricks. Now they are participating in the annual banquet, but they are participating in the identity of the royal family. Naturally, there is a gap with the status of the previous princes, and I feel uncomfortable. You can only drink to relieve your worries.

After the New Year banquet, the Supreme Emperor took the Empress Dowager and some concubines to the Changchun Garden. The Emperor did not rush to the Yuanmingyuan, but stayed in the palace for a long time to work, because he was busy with official duties. The time to go to the harem is much less, and there is no good news from the harem, but because the emperor's heirs are not small, there is no urging voice from the previous court.

Because Yuan Chun wasn't in charge of things, she felt more relaxed, and she also had free time to meet court wives, but because the queen was in front of her, she wasn't too busy.

Mrs. Tianwang brought Tanchun into the palace, and mentioned to Yuanchun, "A while ago, your Aunt Xue came over to sit and mentioned Baochai. Now Baochai hasn't gone back for a while. I'm quite worried."

Because Yuanchun didn't have a daughter, she really didn't pay much attention to Yuanchun where the princess was, and Xue Baochai was also a worry-free girl. When she was in the Old Summer Palace, she was not easy to pass on news, so she could understand if she didn't come to bother her. Now that she has been back to the palace for so long, she has never seen her come over.

"Baochai is indeed a good girl. She is sensible and sensible. Even if I have returned to the palace, I don't see anyone coming here to ask for help. It can be seen that she doesn't want to trouble me too much. Don't worry, mother. I will send someone to ask her to come over later. Talk and you'll know what's going on."

"I don't blame you, Aunt Xue, for being anxious. Seeing that Baochai is about to reach her age, whether she is leaving the palace to marry or has other plans, I have to tell my family. She suddenly didn't go back quietly. Don't scare people, your Aunt Xue is a coward, and I'm meddling in my own business, as long as I don't cause trouble to your mother."

"What kind of trouble is this? I was too busy and forgot about it, but I didn't pay much attention to her. Maybe some rumors will spread down there. Jinxiu, you go to the princess's place and say that I have invited Miss Xue to come over and talk. .”

Yuan Chun and Mrs. Wang just drank a cup of tea, and Miss Xue was invited over, "Baochai pays respects to the imperial concubine, and pays respects to Yiren."

Yuan Chun smiled, "Please get up quickly, why are you so divided, sit down, we are also cousins, and I was too busy to take care of you for a while, I should invite you to come and talk earlier Yes, the people below have bullied you, you can send someone over to find me, and I will vent your anger on you."

"Your Majesty was joking. Because of my Majesty's care, those people are polite to me. There is no bullying, but it's my fault. I should come here earlier to say hello to my Majesty."

Mrs. Wang saw that they were polite, but she smiled and persuaded, "Don't be so alien, I saw your mother yesterday, because you didn't go back when you were on vacation last time, your mother was a little concerned, and asked me to enter the palace. Look, now that we see you like this, we are relieved."

"Aunt Lao is worried about it. It happened that the princess fell ill during the last vacation. I was worried, so I didn't go back. Besides, my sister-in-law sent news a while ago that she was pregnant. I will inevitably stir up a lot of people at home when I go back." , I feel that I owe it to me, and it makes me feel embarrassed. In fact, I didn't suffer any grievances in the palace. The princess is gentle and doesn't lose her temper. I thought it would be better not to go back, and save my sister-in-law a lot of trouble , I was also afraid that my sister-in-law would be tired because I went back, and it was also out of my good intentions, but I didn't expect everyone to misunderstand, it was my fault."

Mrs. Wang sighed. After hearing Xue Baochai's words, she also felt that Xue Baochai was too magnanimous, and what she said was very pleasant. However, Mrs. Wang also came here from that time. There is no conflict between the sisters-in-law. Maybe there was a little conflict between the sisters-in-law, so Xue Baochai avoided it and didn't want to go back. After all, it was the Xue family's business. Although she was an aunt, she didn't want to meddle in the Xue family's affairs, but she should say I still have to say, "I know you are a considerate person. People who are only pregnant are always sensitive and thoughtful. I have to think about it without taking your mother. When your mother sees that you are old enough to discuss marriage, it is inevitable. I'm a little anxious, but your mother is also doing it for your own good. Now that you are no longer a child, and you have seen the world with the princess, you may have some plans in your heart. Now there are no other outsiders here. Just say, I'll tell your mother later, so that she can rest assured."

Mrs. Wang said this is what Yuan Chun wanted to say. In the past, Xue Baochai entered the palace so that the Xue family could gain a foothold in the capital, so that they could find a backer for the Xue family. Now I heard that Xue Pan has also become a military officer with the help of his father-in-law's family. , Xue Biao took over the family's shop again, and he is doing something decent. Today's Xue family is neither short of power nor money. Even if he is out of the palace now, Xue Baochai can be regarded as a serious official lady. Although there are not as many options for marriage as the girls of the Jia family and the Lin family, it is much better than before when they could only choose from low-level families.

Xue Baochai was silent for a moment, then said with a smile, "I know my mother is thinking of me, but I think I can wait for my age, only the princess treats me very well, I really can't worry about the princess, wait for the princess The marriage is settled, I will leave the palace in time."

Mrs. Wang was anxious when she heard this, and persuaded, "My good boy, you are sixteen this year, which is nothing in the palace. After all, the princesses in the palace are all above eighteen when they get married, but people like us , you are too late to discuss marriage this year. After two years, you will be eighteen. We entered the palace as companions, but it’s not that you have to wait until 25 to leave the palace as a court lady. I know you are a kind-hearted person. My child, but when I left the palace at that time, there was no suitable candidate. Good boy, you can't be willful. You have to listen to your aunt this time. You should go out of the palace early. If you want to come to the princess, you can understand it. If she really treats you Well, I shouldn't have stopped you from leaving the palace." Apparently Mrs. Wang became a little annoyed as she spoke, and her tone became serious.

Mrs. Wang didn't think about that aspect, but Yuan Chun did. She patted Mrs. Wang's hand reassuringly, and couldn't bear to ruin Baochai's life because of that little bit of ambition. She then persuaded, "Now your brother You already have an official position, and in the future, you will be assigned duties, so you may be able to improve it. Besides, it is an established fact that you will be taken care of by your uncle, and there is still this palace in the palace, so you don't need to take risks to try. "

Yuan Chun looked at Xue Baochai who bowed his head and said nothing, and knew that he had guessed right. He really didn't know what she was thinking in her heart. She didn't want a good wife, but she had to run to the concubine. If she hadn't been sent to the palace, maybe she would have I didn’t have this idea anymore, so I didn’t dare to think about it right now, and I tried to persuade Baochai to let go of the thoughts in my heart, “I’m not afraid to reveal a little news to you, when the next draft, the princess who has reached the age is bound to give a marriage , you also know that the princess has reached her age. If the situation is good, you can choose suitable warriors from the wealthy Manchu and Mongolian nobles. Most of them are kings and grandchildren from Mongolia. Not to mention the fact that the selected warrior territory is far away, I know your thoughts, you just value the status of the prince and want to help the Xue family better, but have you ever thought about it, if you follow the dowry, you will be a concubine at most Even if you will be a prince in the future, how far is the grassland from here? How can you help the Xue family? If you are far away, you can’t quench your thirst. I’m afraid that with your identity, you will have to wait for decades to wait for your husband to go. You can only go back to the capital once, when the time comes, things will change and people will change, and the person you want to see may not be able to wait, don’t mention this, why don’t you have the heart to let Aunt Xue watch you in fear if you marry far away?”

Speaking of Aunt Xue, Xue Baochai's mind was touched. Because the family married a sister-in-law and her brother was busy with the future, Xue Baochai felt that she was out of place when she went back several times. If she was not good, she was not. She has a fiery temperament, but she can control her brother, but Xue Baochai is not used to it because she doesn't get along day and night, and every time she goes back, she seems to be a guest. The military officer was selected, and Baochai was a son of a civil servant family with outstanding literary talent. She was a boudoir girl, but she couldn't say this in person.
