[Red House] Harem Road in Spring

In the imperial garden, although it was the twelfth lunar month of winter, the plum blossoms were in full bloom, and the scenery everywhere was even more special, which caused several girls to stop and admire frequently.

Across a lake, a woman in palace attire looked at the commotion on the other side and asked, "Who is that?"

"Going back to Baolin, my mother spared Baolin's greeting, so Baolin has never seen them in Fengzao Palace. A few days ago, I heard that the empress summoned her natal sisters to accompany her in the palace, and those girls were accompanied by the empress The Liusu girl next to her must be the girl from the Rongguo Mansion who was summoned by the empress to enter the palace." The palace man next to her said.

Jing Baolin couldn't help taking a few more glances, thinking of her own situation for a moment, not being able to see the emperor, for the sake of slim hope, she wandered around the imperial garden every day, hoping to meet the emperor one day, so that the emperor would look at her differently As for the empress, the emperor visits her every day, and she can even call her natal sisters into the palace to accompany her.

"The queen's natal sisters are different after all." Jing Baolin said sourly.

She can only say sour words behind her back. In front of the queen, she dare not say a word, let alone make the empress unhappy. Otherwise, the emperor goes to Fengzao Palace every day, and she Wouldn't it be safe to go to Fengzao Palace or meet the emperor at the gate of Fengzao Palace?Why wander around in this imperial garden, looking forward to the slim chance of meeting the emperor?

However, just think about her cousin, who was a first-rank imperial concubine and held half of the power in the palace, but was killed by the empress who was only a first-rank concubine at that time, and there was no disturbance.

It was said that the noble concubine died suddenly due to a crime, but they met their cousin that day, and they were in extremely healthy health, so how could they die so easily?The details inside are more terrifying the more you think about it. Thinking about it, none of the palace maids in Chang'an Palace were left alive, so that even if she wanted to fight for favor, she didn't dare to stop the emperor, let alone go to the Phoenix Palace. Deliberately meeting the emperor near Zao Palace, he can only pin his hopes on the real chance encounter in Nuo Da's palace.

Regarding Jing Baolin's sour words, the maid did not dare to say too much. As a rare understanding person, she felt that since she had sharpened her head and drilled into the palace, shouldn't she endure the loneliness of not being favored!

Under the plum blossom tree, Tanchun plucked a plum blossom, and suddenly said, "Sisters, I have something to leave, and I will come to my sisters later."

Sister Lin has a few exquisite thoughts, and she can see Tanchun's thoughts when she gets along with her on weekdays. It is not difficult to guess what Tanchun will do this time.

"Go, you don't need to come to us later, we will go to you."

Tanchun smiled, thanked the younger sisters for their thoughtfulness, and immediately turned back.

In Fengzao Palace, the girls had just left for a while when they saw the emperor walking in.

"You are really well informed!" Yingchun said with a smile.

In the past, the emperor came to her Fengzao Palace from time to time. After all, from Daming Palace to Jiaotai Palace is Fengzao Palace. The two palaces are almost connected, and the distance is very close. It was especially taboo, as long as sister Lin Tanchun was around, the emperor would never appear in Fengzao Palace, so that sister Lin and others had been in the palace for so long, and they had never seen the emperor.

But this also shows that the emperor values ​​her and respects her natal sisters, otherwise, who would care so much about the need to avoid taboos!

"Since I called your natal sister into the palace, I have been staring at Fengzao Palace without blinking an eye. No, when I heard the news that they are going to the Imperial Garden, I will come to see you immediately." The emperor said without hesitation. Said, the tone is full of resentment.

Yingchun laughed and said, "It's not you, the emperor. I said that it would be good to invite my younger sisters into the palace to meet me. The emperor wants them to enter the palace to accompany me."

"When you are in a better mood, I will immediately send them out of the palace. When they came to see their wives, they were sneaking like thieves." The emperor said.

"As the emperor said, although I miss my sisters from my natal family, I am not so happy that I can't see them. Having the emperor, Ding'er and Suan'er in the palace is enough to make me happy." Ying Chunhao He said good things without hesitation, and sure enough, the corners of the emperor's mouth curled up several times visible to the naked eye.

"Then what did the imperial doctor say that you feel more comfortable these days?" He obviously knew the answer, but he just liked to hear the queen's own words.

"The icing on the cake is always pleasant." Yingchun said.

"Then how should you thank me, the person who 'made the icing on the cake' for you?" The emperor suddenly asked, his eyes darkened, but only for a moment, they returned to normal.

Yingchun's radar was normal, so she naturally understood the hint in the emperor's words, and she asked back, "Is the emperor willing?"

"You will be so proud of being favored!" The emperor bit Yingchun's hand resentfully, as if to vent his anger, which made the smile on Yingchun's mouth widen, and the emperor threatened, "I am waiting for the day when you are in good health." .”

"Okay, okay, the emperor is not angry. These are plum blossoms picked by your son. I inserted them with my own hands. I am full of heart and give them to the emperor." The smile in Yingchun's eyes was about to overflow, making the emperor who saw this scene I am also happy.

Taking the vase and sniffing it on the tip of his nose, the emperor said in a hoarse tone, "It's very fragrant!"

Because of the emperor's laughter just now, at this moment, Yingchun couldn't help but think of some content in the past that needed harmony. In an instant, her cheeks were stained red, and for a while, the air in the room seemed to become sticky and ambiguous. .

"There is someone here!" Yingchun said angrily, she was not used to having other people around when she was close to the emperor, even if the other people were only referring to the palace servants.

"Is there someone? Who?" the emperor lowered his voice and asked in Yingchun's ear.

The deep and magnetic male voice exploded in the ears, so sexy and pleasant that it almost made people's ears pregnant.

Yingchun looked up, and before she knew it, all the palace people retreated, and there were only her and the emperor in the room.

The emperor's head lowered lower and lower, and he was about to kiss Yingchun's face. At this time, a palace official announced from outside the door, "I want to report to the empress, the third girl asks to see you."

Yingchun suddenly recovered from the ambiguous atmosphere, as if she was caught doing something bad secretly, her face was flushed red.

She looked up at the emperor, the emperor was expressionless, and his eyes seemed to be telling stories, and the story he was telling was called the duck with its mouth flew away!Fly!

With a "poof", Yingchun was amused by the emperor's expression.

The emperor glared at Yingchun fiercely, and said fiercely, "After all, if you sisters offend me, I will blame you, just wait!"

"Have you ever heard of a saying, Your Majesty?" Yingchun asked, remembering a common saying, but just after saying it, Yingchun suddenly felt that the saying was a little hard to say.

"What? I haven't heard of it, so you just tell me about it." The emperor asked with great interest, saying that he was definitely not the one who was so shy and shy when talking nonsense between husband and wife.

Yingchun had already regretted it, but the emperor still wanted to ask, she wished that time would go back to before she said that sentence, and she would use something to block that mouth.

"No, I asked nonsense." Yingchun firmly vetoed, she would never say the words she just thought of, she was too embarrassed!

"I don't believe it, you must have thought of something just now, tell me." The emperor teased without giving up, who told Yingchun to make fun of him just now, no wonder he wants to return it.

The emperor's reluctance made Yingchun furious, she said angrily, "The emperor still wants to see the concubine's cousin?"

Even the word "Chenqie" came out, which shows that Yingchun was really anxious.

"Don't worry, don't worry, I'm leaving now." Seeing that Yingchun was annoyed, the emperor got up and walked out. Seeing this, Yingchun breathed a sigh of relief, but seeing the emperor suddenly turned around, Yingchun had a bad feeling in her heart.

Sure enough, the emperor who turned around suddenly said in a low voice, "Did Yingchun just want to say that there are only exhausted cows in this world, and there is no plowed land."

There was a "boom" in Yingchun's mind, and the heat surged upwards. She felt her cheeks were hot, and her whole body seemed to be hot and smoking.

Yingchun pointed in the direction of the door and motioned for the emperor to leave quickly, she was too ashamed to speak.

"Okay, okay, this time I'm really leaving, but the relationship between husband and wife, since it's done, it's okay." The emperor finally said something cheap, and then left.

"... Shameless! Glib tongue!" After a while, Yingchun finally spoke, not angry, but annoyed and ashamed.

Xiuju who walked in after the emperor left, saw the emperor's expression when he left, and his master's extremely lively expression, and was very happy that the emperor treated his master differently.In the early years, with so many concubines in the palace, the emperor treated everyone with gentleness and consideration mixed with indifference and alienation, but in front of his master, he was gentle and considerate, but more of them were lively and laughing without restraint. .

"Ma'am, the third girl is here." Xiuju said.

"Hurry up," Yingchun said.

"Yes"

Xiuju withdrew again, outside the door, Tanchun stood outside with some anxiety, seeing Xiuju coming out, asked anxiously, "Miss Xiuju, is there still time for me to leave now?"

Xiuju gave her a "you know" look and shook her head.

Tanchun nodded and said, "Well, I didn't know that the second sister was talking to the emperor."

She just came back anxiously, and asked the palace servants to report that she wanted to see Yingchun. The palace servants agreed and went outside to report. Not long after, she saw the emperor walking out suddenly. Only then did she realize that she was interrupting her. The second sister gets along with the emperor.

Since entering the palace, they have come to the second sister's Fengzao palace many times, but they have never met the emperor, so they knew that the emperor deliberately avoided their relatives.I am also afraid that others will make random guesses about Yingchun and their people from Rongguo Mansion. Every time they come to Dongnuange to meet Yingchun, they ask questions and choose to come when only the second sister is alone. I have seen the emperor.

This time, because she had something on her mind, she hurried over, but she forgot to ask, so she chose such an unlucky time. Although when she saw someone coming out of the door, she felt that something was wrong and hurriedly lowered her head to avoid it, but who was it? A little embarrassing!

Tanchun thought so, and Xiuju was even more annoyed, because the empress ordered them to do other things, and only a tassel was left beside the empress. The maids around the empress don't know how to wink, the empress and the emperor have such a good atmosphere, why did they go in and report?Why don't you know to hint to the third girl and ask the third girl to come back later?

In the hearts of Xiuju and the others, it is natural that the better the emperor and their empresses are, the happier they are.

"If I knew earlier, I would definitely not let the palace servants in to report." Tanchun said.

It is precisely because Tanchun and the others are cousins ​​that the queen empress valued, that the palace people dare not neglect them so they went in to report!

"Third Miss, please come in." Xiuju said.

Tanchun nodded and walked into the Nuan Pavilion.

These girls in Rongguo Mansion were not dull, when Tanchun saw Yingchun, his face was flushed, and his expression was annoyed and ashamed, he knew that it was not the right time for her to come.

"I'm bothering Second Sister." Tanchun said embarrassedly.

"It's okay. The emperor left because of something. It has nothing to do with me seeing you. Why didn't you enjoy plum blossoms in the imperial garden with Sister Lin and the others, and came back alone?" Yingchun asked.

Tanchun's expression suddenly became serious and cautious.

"Second Elder Sister originally let us enter the palace to express sisterhood, but I asked Second Elder Sister to worry about me."

"There's no need to be polite between sisters, just tell me if you have any difficulties." Yingchun said.

Tanchun's expression became hesitant, and after a while, he became firm again. Some things are related to a lifetime, how can he not make up for it because he is embarrassed to speak up!

"It's about my marriage." Tanchun said in a low voice.

"Marriage?" Yingchun's expression also became serious. In ancient times, there was a saying that a woman's marriage was equivalent to a second reincarnation. Although Yingchun felt that this statement was not accurate, there was some truth to it.Whether it's etiquette or public opinion, it's unfair to women. If there are any mistakes in getting married, life, which is not easy at all, will be even more tortuous.

"But what went wrong in the marriage? The second master made an unreliable marriage for you?" Yingchun asked.

Tanchun is the girl of the second room, and if it is Tanchun's marriage, it is naturally decided by the second room's Jia Zheng and Mrs. Wang.Today's Erfang is not what it is in the book. Because of Jia Zhu and Yuanchun's early death, and because of the rise of the Dafang, Baoyu lost his future in the imperial examination, and she is peacefully nestled in the backyard of Rongguo Mansion to take care of Baoyu and Jia. Lan, she had long since ignored Jia Huan and Tanchun, so if anything went wrong in Tanchun's marriage, it must be Jia Zheng.

"Second Master wants me to enter the palace," Tan Chun said.

Yingchun raised his head, did Jia Zheng have such thoughts?

"What did the second master say? Does the old lady know?" Yingchun asked.

It's not enough to have a girl like her in the Rongguo Mansion in the palace, and he wants to send his daughter into the palace, what does he think?Throughout the dynasties, as long as the emperor was not stupid, there would never be a phenomenon where girls from the same family occupied two high positions in the harem, just like Concubine Yi and Guo Guiren in the Kangxi period of the Qing Dynasty, Empress Fucha and Yonghuang's in the Qianlong period. The biological mother, Yonghuang's biological mother was suppressed in a very low status when she was alive, and was posthumously bestowed with honor after her death.

Don't say it's from the same mansion, it's a girl from the same clan. If one wants to be promoted, the first thing to do is to pull down the one above.

Didn't Mr. Jia Zheng come up with an emperor with the blood of the Jia family because he wanted the girls from the Rongguo Mansion to monopolize the emperor's harem and monopolize the heirs of the emperor?He didn't have such a big vision and layout yet, maybe he felt that the benefits brought by her as a queen, such as titles, etc. were all given to the big house and he was greedy, and felt that entering the palace was a good deal, so he wanted to sell his daughter to ask for help. Honor it!

It's not true, although Jia Zheng regarded himself as a scholar, his desire for titles, glory and wealth is not like a real scholar, that man can really do things like selling his daughter for glory.

"The second master said that the second sister was alone in the palace, and asked me to enter the palace to help the second sister. The old lady also knew that the second master said that I would become the second sister of Yuanchun after entering the palace. The old lady was very moved , saying that he wants to enter the palace to discuss with the second sister." Tanchun said.

Yingchun's expression was a little relaxed. Fortunately, Mrs. Jia still wanted to enter the palace to discuss with her, instead of just stuffing Tanchun into the palace without telling her anything.

Jia Zheng, Jia Zheng, if someone calls Jia Zheng pedantic in front of her again, she must scold him for being blind. Can Jia Zheng do this without a heart?

Between her and Yuan Chun, no matter what was wrong before, in the end, it was Yuan Chun who thought of the Rongguo Mansion and risked his life to help her, and also allowed her to survive that disaster, and thus secured her position as Concubine Shu. Let the eldest son of the emperor be born safely.The benefits gained from this benefited the Rongguo Mansion, and the old lady saw the prosperity of the Rongguo Mansion from her, so she fully supported her.

The old lady, no kind of family affection can be done in front of her, she only has the prosperity of the Rongguo Mansion in her eyes, and Jia Zheng's idea to let Tanchun enter the palace to help her, isn't it just talking about the old lady's heart Li, in the old lady's heart, she, the queen, is not the guarantee of the Rongguo Mansion. On the whole, she starts from her safety and interests, no wonder the old lady is moved.

Such a well-timed deception, and the old lady Jia believed it, is Jia Zheng really that pedantic nerd?

As for why Jia Zheng is the old lady fooling, there are many sisters who entered the palace together, not all the sisters made the final choice like Yuan Chun did, fighting desperately for the sake of the family and helping the other.With so many sisters, it is very rare for them to support each other. More often, sisters turn against each other for their own interests, and plot each other to death. Check out the sisters who entered the palace together from history, and get to know them In the end, this matter is very clear.

At the beginning, Yuan Chun finally stood on her side, but at that time, Yuan Chun's situation was extremely dangerous, and she herself said that she had reached a dead end and could not turn back.Therefore, after Yuan Chun's death, she did not ask the emperor how much blood was stained on his hands by helping Concubine Zhen Taigui.The words are harsh but to be honest, although Yuan Chun saved her and lost her life, he also escaped from the emperor. Otherwise, after the death of Concubine Zhen Gui, how could the emperor bypass Yuan Chun, the minion of Concubine Zhen Zhen?

Yuan Chun, who was unable to get away and could see the stranger, finally chose to betray Concubine Zhen to save her. Whether it was because of the birth of the same family or other reasons, it all happened under that special situation. If Yuan Chun still had The way out, would she still choose that way?

will not!

Yingchun knew that if Yuanchun had a way out, she would not choose to sacrifice herself.

Just like now, at the beginning it seemed that Tanchun was allowed to enter the palace to give her another helper in the palace, but when Tanchun entered the palace, he would serve her husband together for a long time. And he was jealous, and then stretched out his calculating hand to her?

Furthermore, if Tanchun enters the palace, she will definitely not have a high position. It is still the same sentence. As time goes by, watching those beautiful women who entered the palace with her climb higher and higher, but she is suppressed by her cousin because of her superiority. Will she be reconciled to not being promoted?

It is said that being a mother is strong, if one day Tanchun gives birth to a prince, and this prince has a conflict of interest with the prince who is Ding'er, who will Tanchun help?

If she sees this clearly, the old lady who cares so much about the Rongguo Mansion still wants to send Tanchun into the palace!

However, it doesn't matter what other people think, what about Tanchun?What does Tanchun think, do you want to enter the palace?

"What about you? Do you want to enter the palace?" Yingchun asked. .
