[Red House] Harem Road in Spring

Yingchun frowned, not because the gift was inappropriate, but because it was too precious.

"you……"

Seemingly knowing that Yingchun would refuse, Yuanchun interrupted Yingchun's words, "Why should you care about it, no matter what, the child in your womb has the blood of the Rongguo Mansion, and the concubines only have infinite joy in their hearts. What is a mere dead thing worth?"

"Okay, then I will put the child away, and let her recognize you as my aunt after he is born." Yingchun said.

Suddenly hearing that Yingchun recognized her as her aunt, Yuan Chun's eyes flashed with excitement. This was the first time Yingchun had voluntarily admitted their relationship after entering the palace.

As for Yingchun, since she entered the palace, Yuanchun has never harbored ill intentions towards her, and she keeps showing her kindness. After all, they are cousins ​​from the Rongguo Mansion, why can't they let go of their previous suspicions?As long as Yuanchun doesn't plot against her, maintaining a good relationship is fine.

In many cases, blood relationship is a natural alliance, especially in ancient times with deep family management.

Yingchun has heard that some people, the older they get, the more they pay attention to relatives when they date. Maybe this is the case in Yuanchun!

As for what happened in Rongguo Mansion before, it was all a little unhappiness between the sisters!

"Life in the palace is not easy, and you often have to take care of it in various ways. You should also tighten your hands and be considerate of yourself." Yingchun suggested.

The palace people in the palace are more able to praise the high and trample the low than those in the Rongguo Mansion. Although Yuan Chun is a virtuous concubine, there are some problems with her original title. She has no title, no seal, and no favor from the emperor. How can people see her in their eyes?

Without the slightest prestige, if you still think about it well, you can only use a lot of money to manage it.

"In any case, the inner prison will not cut off the concubine's palace status. They have food, drink and clothes. I don't know how many times better than some poor people outside the palace. The concubine is already very content!" Yuan Chun said. , There is quite a sense of resignation in the eyes.

Welcoming the spring meal, when will the girls of Rongguo Mansion be compared with the poor people outside the palace? Different status and environment, what they should give and get in life are also different. Poor people have the joys and sorrows of poor people. People who live cautiously and intrigue all the time naturally have immediate demands.

The emperor controls the former court and the harem, maybe there are some things that can be mentioned, Yingchun always hates the people close to him, especially Yuanchun, who is not busy at the age of 30, but his eyes are like stagnant water .

She can't beg for Yuanchun's favor in front of the emperor, but she can try for other things.

"You also know that the emperor has strengthened his control over the harem, have you thought about leaving the palace?" Yingchun asked.

She can only provide help, and some things still have to be chosen by herself.

At the beginning, Yuan Chun was made a concubine, but it was only at the request of Shangde Palace. Although the concubine was conferred, the emperor was not happy, and Yuan Chun's status was not raised, let alone a servant. Based on this idea, Yuan Chun should still be in perfect condition.

This would be easier, as long as Yuan Chun wanted to, she could go and beg the emperor to let Yuan Chun escape.

Yuan Chun's eyes were tinged with joy, and then they darkened again.

"Your Majesty kindly accepts my concubine's heart, but I have come to this point, where can I turn back?" Yuan Chun paused, and then continued, "If I leave the palace, my concubine will definitely abandon her status as the eldest daughter of Rongguo Mansion. How can a concubine be willing to give up? And the concubine is nearly thirty, at this age, she can be a grandmother outside the palace. So fine!"

"You... Second Aunt Baoyu was born in her forties. You are only in your 20s, and you are still young! You don't have to refuse now. Think about it after you go back. If you think it's good to go out, you can come to Ben again. Palace." Yingchun persuaded.

This is really the difference between ancient and modern times. It is the same age as flowers in their 20s, and it is normal to get married at 30. How can you feel old when you are only 25 or six years old?

Yingchun stood in the position of Yuanchun and thought. In that position, the emperor didn't like her because she was forced to become a concubine through the emperor and Zhen Taigui. It is better to go out of the palace than to live a lifetime.

Yuan Chun's appearance and talent are both top-notch. After leaving the palace, he finds a small family to marry, manages his small family well, and has a son and a half daughter. Isn't it a leisurely life.

If it was a real ordinary family, she might still be afraid of being oppressed by the people above, but Yuan Chun, even if she couldn't leave the palace as the second wife of the Rongguo Mansion, she could find a relative of the same clan in the Rongguo Mansion. The government is standing, why should they worry about other people's oppression for no reason!

Even if Yingchun is now a first-rank concubine and is about to give birth to a royal heir, Yingchun is very envious.

"Okay, the concubine will think about it when she goes back." Yuan Chun replied.She could tell that Yingchun really envied that kind of life and thought it was good, but everyone has their own preferences!

Of course, she was also grateful for Yingchun's kindness to her.

"Hmm!" I don't want to now, maybe I will again after a while?As long as Yuan Chun's heart remains unchanged, her promise will never change.

When Yuanchun came this time, it was not good to get close to Yingchun. When Yingchun left, Zhou Cairen and Guo Meiren also came to congratulate, and Yingchun received them one by one.

After everyone left, the emperor brought over the reward for Yingchun's pregnancy. It can be said that Yingchun was busy all day on the day when she had just come into contact with the confinement.

On the second day, Yingchun, who had been free, had time to take a good look at the situation in the palace.

The emperor has complete control over the harem, and the queen is still empty-handed.

Because of the great achievements of the family, the noble concubine and the virtuous concubine received generous gifts from the emperor in the palace. It was a great effort, so the emperor treated her extra favorably, and concubine Xian was pregnant, which made her status rise even more.

It can be said that in the palace today, Concubine Xian is the most popular among the four concubines.

The four concubines of nobility, shu, virtuous, and virtuous concubines have superiority and inferiority, but this only applies to the same degree of favor.

In addition, there are three pregnant concubines in the palace, Concubine De, who is eight months pregnant; Concubine Xian, who is six months pregnant; She, who is five months pregnant.

Everyone seemed to be staring at the three of them, to see whose belly the eldest son of the emperor would come out from. Yingchun hoped that she would have a daughter in this birth.

Also because she was pregnant, Yingchun developed the habit of taking a nap at noon every day. On this day, when she just woke up, Liuyun reported.

"Your Majesty, the maids of Fengzao Palace came to Changle Palace to pass on the Queen's edict at the order of the Empress Empress. The slave said that the Empress was taking a nap, and the maid left a message and went back first."

"Oh? What's the matter?"

"It is said that the empress said that the empress is pregnant, so she will not ask the empress to pay her respects." Liu Yun said.

"Well, is she reciprocating? Want to show favor?" Yingchun

"Isn't it? Although the concubines are not going to Fengzao Palace to pay their respects now, the name is not right after all. The day before yesterday, the empress sent someone to Fengzao Palace to report her pregnancy as usual. The empress is probably very satisfied. That’s why I want to show my empress a good relationship, and befriend my empress.”

"You, you still think a little less!" Yingchun said, seeing Liuyun's puzzled eyes, Yingchun asked, "There are so many concubines in the palace, they don't go to the queen's place to pay their respects, but the queen is alone. Greetings from Ben Gong, let the name of the palace be justified, there are too many small ways in it, of course, the queen may really mean to show favor to the palace, but there are too many things to kill multiple birds with one stone and kill multiple birds with one stone. "

Yingchun has a heart, and Liuyun is also willing to learn, so even Liusu, Xiutong Xiuju and others surround her.

"Think about it yourself, one person counts the disadvantages, and three people count the strengths." Yingchun said.

The battle between the concubines in the palace will only become more intense after the birth of the prince. Although Liu Yun and the others are excellent, they still need to grow up.

"Your Majesty, is the empress deliberately provoking? After all, she is the only one who shows her kindness to the empress, and this will make other concubines think too much." Liu Yun said.

Yingchun neither affirmed nor denied, "It doesn't matter whether the queen's starting point is this, but if there are some concubines who like to think too much, they will think too much."

"Also, maybe the empress wants to use this to tell the concubines one thing. As long as the empress is respected in terms of rules, the empress will not be stingy and show respect to the concubines, and everyone will cooperate with each other." Tassel said

"The empress wants to use benefits to make the concubines respect her in terms of rules, so as to preserve her dignity as an empress." Liu Yun added.

"Yes, this may be what the Empress really wants to plan, but I don't rule out others." Yingchun said, "If the Empress is able to succeed, you can take it as the foundation and go further."

Yingchun smiled, "She may not be able to become a queen who truly controls the power of the harem, but if she keeps her reputation as a queen, if she adopts another little princess, she can also keep her own face and get a piece of honor and benefits. home."

"Hey, the Cui family is the same. They are good aunts with a bright future, but they have been dragged down by their mother's family." Liu Yun said.

With the complete silence of the Supreme Emperor, the affairs of the Cui family were also exposed, and many people expressed their approval of the emperor's reluctance to give the Cui family decent things.

This Cui family is clearly the emperor's legitimate wife's natal family, but on the surface they seem to belong to the emperor, but secretly they are still working for the emperor.

Ever since the emperor monopolized the power, everyone has suddenly realized that the emperor and the supreme emperor are on opposite sides. If you stand in the emperor's camp but work for the supreme emperor, isn't this the same as standing behind the emperor and stabbing at the emperor? Knife?It is even more hateful than those who attack the emperor in the Supreme Emperor's camp!

It's no wonder that the emperor is unwilling to give the empress of the Cui family the dignity of her mother's family.

After the emperor completely controlled the previous dynasty, he would naturally have to settle the matter, especially those who had stalked the emperor but never repented. Therefore, the queen's natal Cui family was also suppressed.

Of course, these are things that everyone can analyze on the surface, but Yingchun knows more and more details.

Before the emperor married the queen, he had a deal with them. He gave the Cui family the dignity of his wife and mother, and the Cui family girl entered the palace to be his wife in name, but no matter how many, there would be nothing!

At that time, the status of the Cui family was not qualified to be the prince's concubine, and the Cui family accepted the matter because of their interests.

But later, the Cui family, who had been promoted a lot because of the emperor, was dissatisfied, so they turned to the Supreme Emperor, wanting to plan for greater benefits.At that time, the emperor was not the emperor, but a prince.

There are too many people working for the Supreme Emperor, why would he accept the Cui family? It is not because the Cui family is the emperor's wife's family, or it can be said that the Cui family used the emperor as some kind of bait to invest in the Supreme Emperor.

However, the Cui family is also stupid, they don't want to offend the emperor, but they also want to work for the emperor in the dark, like that scumbag, but in fact both parties have been offended.

As for the emperor's temper, once you violate the original deal, everything will be void, and there is no room for relaxation.

This Cui family had a good hand of cards but was beaten badly.

The thoughts of Yingchun drifted to another point, the empress wanted to "make progress", but would the noble concubine, the concubine Xian and others allow it?Will the emperor abolish the queen because of the Cui family's dishonesty?
