The eldest brother of the Lin family in the Red Chamber

Concubine Xiande's Lanchun Hall was cold, without any trace of popularity.The maids and eunuchs who came in and out were very light in their hands and feet, and they made a slight sound.Today is the day when the married woman enters the palace to pay her respects, and several imperial orders from the Jia family should also come to see Yuanchun, but the Empress Dowager has just issued a decree to ask Concubine Xiande to "rest" in her palace, so don't bother.The last time the empress's confinement had just ended, this time the empress dowager did it herself. The emperor was already dispensable to the Lanchun Palace, so the servants naturally followed their eyes.

Yuan Chun sat in the Buddhist hall of his bedroom, his long, bright red nails pierced into his flesh, leaving blood stains without knowing it.But as soon as Baoqin came in, seeing her like this, she jumped: "No girl, what's wrong with you?" He shouted to the eunuch outside, "Come here, are you all dead?! "

Yuan Chun smiled bitterly and said, "Forget it. They are not dead, they treat me as dead!"

In the past few days, the servants have high-mindedness and low-handedness. Yuan Chun also complained at the beginning. He wanted to beat a few people to stand up, but the concubine is not allowed to use lynching without authorization, so she needs to pass the board to Shen Xingsi. "Concubine Jia, let's rest. If there are servants who are incompetent, just send them away. What time is it?" Yuan Chun finally came to his senses. His Lanchun Palace is no different from Leng Gong!She was once a noble concubine, and she didn't even have the right to beat a few servants to vent her anger.

The noble concubine's treasure book has been taken back, and now everyone knows that Concubine Xiande caused a lot of trouble, and even Concubine Hua sent someone to blame her: "Do you know who you humiliated? That is the son of the Kong family. Granddaughter, the eyeballs of Princess Hehui! The old sage Hehui has a deep brotherhood, and Prince Duan is the No.1 in the clan. I was terrified when I saw her, how dare you offend her granddaughter!"

With tears in Baoqin's eyes: "Mother, don't be like this, don't scare me."

Yuan Chun said: "Your Majesty? What kind of Empress am I? I think I've made it through as a noble concubine, but look, people think I'm a slave. I call myself a cousin, but where did I offend her? Are my relatives such a shameful thing?"

Baoqin persuaded: "Your Majesty, Miss Kong is the granddaughter of Princess Hehui, and you are His Majesty's concubine. It is indeed not appropriate to talk about seniority from Lord Lin Hou."

A noble concubine is just a concubine, and there is really no reason to judge seniority from a concubine.

Yuan Chun sneered and said, "Look, I've survived for so many years, but I'm only a concubine."

When she was born, Duke Rong Jia Daishan was still alive. As a granddaughter of a direct relative, she was favored since she was a child. Who would have thought that her grandmother and mother who had always loved her could call her into the palace so cruelly that she would be a female official? Isn't that just a slave?Grinding ink and paper for the queen, she thinks that her literary talents are superior to the queen, but what can she do?

After finally climbing up to Concubine Hua and becoming a noble concubine, she finally realized that her own concubine was not the same as Concubine Hua's too.Concubine Hua was deeply favored by the old sage, and even the queen mother had to give her three points, for fear of offending the emperor.The Taishanghuang even broke the old rule that the empress would not confer the imperial concubine, conferring the concubine Hua as the imperial concubine. If the censors hadn't made too much trouble, I'm afraid they would have made the Hua family the Marquis of Chengen.As for her, not to mention the queen, even in front of Concubine Wu Guifei, she often feels unable to lift her head up—Concubine Wu Guifei's father is a fourth rank, a head higher than Jia Zheng, and Concubine Wu Guifei was bestowed by the Empress Dowager during the general election. I gave it to His Majesty, and followed His Majesty all the way from the palace to the palace, from a concubine to a concubine today, she has never been a slave in the Queen's Palace!

Not to mention, Concubine Hua is getting bored with the Supreme Emperor because she speaks for her, and she doesn't bother to take care of her affairs.

Although it is indeed inappropriate to judge seniority from her, but listen to what Kong Jingxian said?

"In the early years, I also followed my grandmother into the palace to greet the queen empress. At that time, I thought that there was a fine-looking maid in the empress's palace. It was a good fortune. But the empress dowager also persuaded your majesty, If you like it, you like it, don’t show it to meet guests, who has this rule, the royal rule is to be admired by all people, a slave, it’s just a matter of flattery, it’s not appropriate to put it on the table for others to see.”

At that time, the concubines were all there, the empress pursed her lips and smiled, and confessed to the empress dowager - this "slave" came out of her palace, she found such a person for her husband, so naturally she had to apologise.The Empress Dowager glanced at Concubine Hua triumphantly, pulled Kong Jingxian over and smiled and said, "What about the Empress Dowager, the Empress Dowager, didn't the Empress Dowager say it? It's also appropriate to call us uncles, grandparents, and uncles."

However, Princess He Hui, who is the most respectful of rules and etiquette, was at the side, and when she saw her granddaughter insulting the noble concubine, she didn't reprimand or get angry, and instead said to the queen mother: "Sister-in-law, forgive me, my granddaughter, I was beaten by her father when she was young." She was taught badly. Her father said to her, Ning Baihan's wife, Mo Zungui's concubine, this child's brain is rigid, and he brought this rule to the royal family, so he should be beaten. Let me go back and tell her mother. "

The Queen Mother said: "Your sister's words are burying me! What kind of family is the Kong family? The rules of your girls are really first-class. No matter how many relatives the royal family has, no one dares to climb up. Jing Ning is telling the truth. Don't punish her all the time, what a wonderful child, our princesses should get in touch with her more and learn some rules."

Concubine Hua was pissed off by the phrase "there are no relatives in the royal family, anyone dares to climb up", she went to look for the Supreme Emperor and cried, who knew it was a step too late, and Princess Hui took the eye drops first .

"Brother Huang, why did my father marry me into the Kong family? Does Brother Huang know?"

Because the foundation of this dynasty is still shallow, Taizu came from a humble background, started from a weak position, and the methods used in the process of fighting for power were not well documented in history, which chilled many people's hearts, and the hearts of scholars all over the world were filled with embarrassment.

"I've heard a lot of people discussing that our royal family has some foreign blood. Don't be angry, I'm going to pay my respects to the emperor's wife today. I saw that the imperial concubine is bright yellow, and the cost of the emperor's wife and the queen is exactly the same. Brother, tell me, right?"

The empress dowager's face turned red, and the relationship between He Hui and the empress dowager was not very close, but he had never been married, and the sister who had helped him a lot asked him this way, saying that he doted on his concubine and killed his wife, how could he not be annoyed?

But when she got annoyed, she couldn't get angry with He Hui. She is her own imperial sister, and she has made great contributions to her ascending to the throne, so she doesn't mention the past. Now she is the mistress of the Kong family. There is really no way to block the mouths of the world.

What's more, what He Hui said is quite reasonable: "Brother Huang, what kind of person are you? What do you want? I know that you regard fame and wealth as nothing, but think about it for future generations, our royal family, how many eyes are there to see you?" What about it? The emperor likes the imperial concubine. As a younger sister, I have no intention of embarrassing the emperor, but the color of the clothes is not good. I know, you have a deep affection for the imperial concubine, but I don’t know, some people are chewing their tongues .”

As soon as she said these words, the Supreme Emperor also understood, asked the reason why the imperial sister told her about her, and took her anger out on Jia Yuanchun: "I see that her grandfather is a good person, why do I not understand the rules? Who are you? Pass my word to the emperor, take care of your own harem, it's fun to lose face in front of your relatives!"

Man is such a strange creature. He himself sees that Concubine Hua is very good, so he dotes on him thousands of times, but if his son dares to dote on his concubine and kill his wife, it is absolutely impossible. After thinking about it, he said to the queen again: I don’t know how to persuade the emperor, when it’s time to put on a majestic look, you have to act like a queen!”

The emperor and empress agreed, and went to see the empress dowager directly after leaving the palace, and asked the empress dowager to issue a decree-it is really embarrassing for the concubine to offend the Kong family, so it is inconvenient to speak, so I asked the empress dowager to punish him for the reason of Yuanchun's disrespect in front of the imperial court.

Mother Jia and Mrs. Wang excitedly handed over a sign to greet Concubine Yuan, but they were splashed with cold water.

"Concubine Jia? The Empress Dowager told her to rest. I won't be able to see Mr. Feng today." The Empress Dowager was as gentle and virtuous as ever, without any complacency or gloating.

I informed them, but didn't tell them to go back immediately—they didn't have the guts to stay in the Zekun Palace and continue to listen to the empress chatting with the wives, boasting about their daughters, asking about the dowry for those who refer to marriage during the general election How's it going? How's the preparation for the wedding? Those who put up the sign will also boast. Of course, the focus is still on the matter with Princess Hui's granddaughter: "Don't talk about the appearance, but the way you act is really outstanding. I really wish I could be my own relative." Daughter, she looks more stable than our princess." She didn't have a daughter herself, so she didn't mind talking about the princess.

The wives were busy flattering a few words about the lively and lovely princesses, but no one dared to say a word about Miss Kong.It is also necessary to pick someone to do it up and down.

Mother Jia and the others listened absent-mindedly, seeing Yun'er, the little maid in Concubine Hua's Palace, waiting outside Zekun Hall, she knew it, and after coming out from the Empress's place, she deliberately swayed—a woman has no right to sit in a chariot in the palace, Jia Mu was old and weak, so she walked slowly.Yun'er took the opportunity to tell her: "The imperial concubine has offended Lord Jingning!"

Madam Wang was so angry that she went back and cried: "I am a person who has never studied, and I also know that there is a difference between seniority and juniority. The empress is a noble concubine after all. It's no wonder that King Jingning has been praised by so many people for his rules." good--"

Jia Zheng was distraught when he heard this, jumped up and scolded: "The descendants of the most holy master, are you right? Don't gag me!"
