The Lady of the Red Chamber

The Chen family is one of the largest families in the south of the Yangtze River.

Although in business.

But because of the last years of the previous dynasty, all the kings were vying for hegemony, and the lords were vying for the throne.

The ancestors of the Chen family defected to Taizu and made great contributions to the establishment of Daqing Jiangshan.And the most glorious thing is to retreat bravely from the rapids.After all, it left a blessing for future generations.

Everyone in the south of the Yangtze River knows that You Wei, the eldest daughter of the Chen family, is intelligent, caring, and beautiful.

Before reaching the age of Ji, those who secretly inquired and came to ask for relatives stepped through the threshold of the Chen family.

The master and wife of the Chen family are also very concerned about the eldest daughter's marriage.It's clear and dark, I don't know how many times I have tried it.

Unfortunately, Miss Chen has always been decisive.

Whenever her parents asked, she raised her eyebrows and smiled without saying a word.

In a hurry, he said, "My daughter has her own ideas in her heart", which made the Chen family and his wife anxious but helpless.

One day, Chen Youwei came back from outside and locked herself in the house, unwilling to see anyone.

When Mrs. Chen entered the room with hot porridge, she found her daughter was holding a straw doll, smiling from time to time.

Mrs. Chen knew that her daughter was tempted.

Mrs. Chen sat beside Chen Youwei, stretched out her hand and touched the top of her head, and asked with a smile: "We Youwei, which family's husband are you looking for?"

It was obviously the simplest question, but it really made Chen Youwei blush: "Mother, I, I just happened to meet him today, what did you say..."

While talking, Chen Youwei couldn't help lowering her voice, thinking of the man she met in the teahouse today.

Chen Youwei Suxi goes out alone, dressed in men's clothes, not with the maid.

Unexpectedly, the weather was not beautiful today, and it was actually pouring rain.

Helplessly, Chen Youwei could only sit in the teahouse and drink tea.

It was at this time that Chen Youwei met Situ Zhao.

Heavy rain, tea house, a handsome young man.

However, this young man is eloquent and knowledgeable.

Chen Youwei is just a girl who is about to reach her age. She has read a lot of scriptures, even if she is as smart as her, she still has some unknown expectations.

After that, Chen Youwei met Situ Zhao several times.

Chen Youwei was gradually attracted by the handsome man in front of her, and she had a little thought of not marrying the king.

Whether she is the daughter of the Chen family's concubine or not, Chen Youwei is still sober, thinking about getting someone to investigate.

Unexpectedly, before the results came out, the imperial decree of marriage arrived at the Chen family.

The eldest lady of the Chen family bestowed the fifth prince's side concubine.

Only then did she realize that that young master Pian Pianjia was actually the fifth prince Situ Zhao of the Holy Majesty.

Situ Zhao met Chen Youwei again.

It's just that at this time, Chen Youwei, wearing a dignified dress, smiled gracefully and saluted her, indifferently: "The daughter of the people has met the Fifth Highness."

Situ Zhao is somewhat sincere towards Chen Youwei.Seeing her like this, Dang even stepped forward, eager to explain: "Youwei, I really like you. I didn't know your identity at first. Later, I found out that you are the eldest lady of the Chen family. I'm afraid of you Disliked me, so I went to ask my father to give me a marriage order. Although I can only give you the position of side concubine, I swear, I will treat you well for the rest of my life."

Chen Youwei lowered her eyelids, looked at the patterns on the stone road, and said, "Why did your Highness say that? I am about to become His Highness's side concubine, not to mention love, life and death are all His Highness's. Minutemen can't bear such words." , I hope His Highness will not say anything more."

Chen Youwei was blessed again, and left.

Situ Zhao looked at Chen Youwei's back with long-distance eyes, as if lost.

On a good day for marriage, Chen Youwei dressed in auspicious clothes and entered the Fifth Prince's Mansion.

The fifth prince's concubine is His Majesty's niece, the daughter of Princess Qingyang, who was exceptionally appointed Princess Anyuan, and is extremely favored by the royal family.

In addition, there are two side concubines in the Prince's Mansion.

They were born in Zhen Guohou's Mansion and Jiangnan Zhen's House respectively.

Chen Youwei's life in the Prince's Mansion was good, but not bad.

Concubine Yun Chou has a straightforward temper and can't see ghosts and ghosts.Because of her discord with the imperial concubine and Zhen side concubine, she loves to come and talk to her from time to time.

After going back and forth, the two gradually became confidants.

When she first entered the mansion, Chen Youwei still had some fantasies about the fifth prince.With the passage of time, these past dreams like a breeze, also dissipated without a trace.

Concubine Yun seems to dislike Concubine Zhen very much, and she also doesn't like Concubine Prince.But the proper etiquette has never been lacking.

Chen Youwei also asked Concubine Yun curiously: "Sister Yun, tell me, who is His Highness's favorite person?"

Yun Huaran was lying on the beauty couch in the yard basking in the sun. Hearing this, he cast a sidelong glance at Chen Youwei, and said with a smile: "Your Highness loves the Empress the Imperial Concubine most of all. Your Highness grew up with the Empress Dowager as childhood sweethearts. No one can compare to the love in this.”

Chen Youwei was skeptical and wanted to ask again.

Because she always felt that His Highness looked at the imperial concubine with an indescribable indifference.

But Yun Huaran obviously didn't want to continue talking, so the topic changed and he talked about the jewelry and clothes that are popular in the capital.

Later, the fifth prince ascended the throne and became the new emperor of the Daqing Dynasty.

The fifth concubine became the empress, sister Yun was conferred the title of concubine Hui, and she also became the noble lady in the palace.

The days passed so peacefully.

It's a pity, how can there be real peace in the harem?

It is only an instant when waves rise suddenly and the building will collapse.

The queen's kinsmen colluded with the enemy and betrayed the country, sold their officials and nobles, indulged their relatives to enclose land, and disregarded human life.

One by one, one by one, the once illustrious Zhongpinghou Mansion was defeated overnight.The queen empress was implicated by her family, although her majesty did not depose her successor because of her love for marriage.But he often closes the palace gate, handing over the phoenix seal, and asks himself to be a Qingxiu.

When Chen Youwei talked about this matter with Concubine Yun Hui, her words could not conceal her fear.

Concubine Yunhui looked at her indifferently, as if she had expected it long ago: "Youwei, don't worry about this. Let's just take care of ourselves."

Chen Youwei raised her head after hearing these words that she seemed to have expected, a little panicked: "Sister, you..."

At this moment, there was no one else in the palace, and Concubine Yunhui smiled and said: "The late emperor loved Princess Qingyang, and the empress and I have known each other since childhood. I used to joke about what kind of husband the empress would find, but unexpectedly because of a With the fan, the empress will not marry her majesty."

Concubine Yunhui raised her eyes, her long and narrow phoenix eyes were shining with a lingering light, she didn't know whether it was emotion or chilling: "Youwei, you are a smart woman. Let's not bother with such things. Just take care of yourself."

Of course Chen Youwei understood the implication of Concubine Yun Hui's words.

It's just that she didn't expect that His Majesty would be so cruel.

His Majesty was able to ascend to the throne, thanks to the Great Princess Qingyang and the Zhongping Hou Mansion.But now, it's so nostalgic.

Chen Youwei suddenly felt a little cold.

Was it really because His Majesty welcomed her as his side concubine because he liked her?It is also the wealth of their Chen family in a country that is incomparably rich.

Later, Chen Youwei became pregnant and successfully gave birth to the third prince.

At the same time, the Patriarch of the Chen family was grateful for Tian's grace and expressed his willingness to hand over half of the family's wealth to the state treasury.

Emperor Mingxi was overjoyed, and allowed the Chen family to support the official position and the main support for fame.

The Chen family in the south of the Yangtze River has since left the family of merchants and entered the imperial examination.

Because of this, Yigui was named Yipin by the Jin Dynasty.

Chen Youwei received the imperial decree in the dormitory without saying a word.He just looked at the third prince in the cradle, humming a nursery rhyme softly, with a satisfied smile on his face.

The third prince is now recorded under the name of Concubine Yunhui, she would go to Deyang Palace to greet her sister every day, and take care of the third prince along the way.

In the harem, there has never been a shortage of bad-mouthed villains.

From time to time, there are court ladies in front of Chen Youwei, who seem to be whispering but deliberately say——

"Concubine Hui is so kind to the Third Highness. The Third Highness is really blessed."

"What do you know? It's because Concubine Hui doesn't have any children of her own. If Concubine Hui gives birth to a child one day, how can the Third Prince still have a foothold in Deyang Palace?"

"What do you think of Empress Yipin? What can I do wrong to record His Highness Third Highness under the name of Concubine Hui?"

"It's said that it was Concubine Hui who used means to blackmail Mistress Yi. It's just a pity that Empress is full of motherly love."

"If Concubine Hui really had a child of her own, would she feel that the eldest son, the Third Highness, is in the way of her child?"

"Who knows? It's just a pity for the Third Highness."

Every time Chen Youwei heard it, with a look, someone pushed these maids to the Department of Punishment.

But this kind of rumors are still endless in front of her.

Chen Youwei knew that Concubine Zhen ordered people to repeat it in her ear day after day.

But in order to make her feel bad, she separated from Concubine Yunhui.

Chen Youwei never cared.

After being married to the royal family for so many years, she has heard and seen a lot, and she is no longer the naive and delicate daughter of the Chen family.

She still doesn't care about this method.

The third prince gradually grew up.

More and more, he showed his intelligence in front of people.

Literate and hyphenated at the age of one, exporting poems at the age of three, and familiar with the Four Books and Five Classics at the age of five.

Concubine Yunhui and Chen Yipin always kept their expressions on the surface when they heard praise from others, but they were overjoyed in their hearts.

When he was five years old, the third prince had a serious illness.

Concubine Zhen is dangerous, if it wasn't for Concubine Yun Hui who forcibly broke into the palace, the third prince would have died like the first prince born by the empress.

But Concubine Yunhui stayed in the cold palace for a year because of this.

Even the status has become a Yungui.

Finally, Chen Youwei let Emperor Mingxi pass Qingliang Hall.The Yungui people took this opportunity to conceive a dragon son in one fell swoop, and then moved out of the cold palace.

Chen Youwei racked her brains and finally found out.

It turned out that the serious illness of his son was not a coincidence, but the murderous hand of Concubine Zhen.

The financial resources of the Chen family and the influence of the Marquis of Zhenguo's Mansion finally made some people afraid.For the sake of the second prince's future, he used vicious means and a heart like a snake and a scorpion.

Chen Youwei cried in front of Emperor Ming Xi, begging him to give her son justice.

In Chen Youwei's mind, at that time she still had extravagant hopes for Emperor Ming Xi.

The third prince is also his son, how can he sit idly by?

However, Chen Youwei still overestimated the position of herself and the third prince in Emperor Ming Xi's heart.

Emperor Mingxi pretended to be in front of her, on the surface he was very heartbroken by the passing of the third prince, but inside and outside the words, he was trying to make excuses for the Zhen family and Concubine Zhen.

Chen Youwei bowed slowly in front of the emperor.

When he kowtowed, a tear fell from his cheek.

It suddenly occurred to her that in the afternoon at the Fifth Prince's Mansion, she asked: "Sister, has your Highness ever truly loved anyone?"

Noble Concubine Yunhui didn't want to answer, she laughed at herself in a mysterious way.

She now finally understands the answer.

Situ Zhao, his favorite, will always only have his own power, the throne.

Everyone, his concubine, his son, even his married queen, is a chess piece to be manipulated.

Her son, so bright, so alert.

In the end, what she got in exchange for her life was nothing more than a concubine, a noble concubine, and the power to hold the Phoenix Seal.

The murderer is still alive and well, but in the eyes of the emperor, such kindness is enough to make up for the loss of her and her sister's son.

Chen Youwei knocked her forehead on the ground, and said with a smile: "The concubine obeys the order."

The first time I met Jiangnan back then, it ended up ruining my life.
