It's Hard to Be the Concubine of the Red Chamber

Chapter 11

Yuan Chun stayed in the palace for ten years, and he was very familiar with the big and small things in the palace, and the bits and pieces of things were enough for me to listen to for a while.

"There is a small kitchen in the empress's palace. I have the face of my empress, and I often cook some snacks - after all, there are not many things to do, I have to find some fun by myself." This is what Tu Mingjun said after he became the throne up.

To be honest, during the ten years in the palace, Yuan Chun always spent more time in the field, but let her say this, she actually described herself as a master who is indifferent to fame and wealth.

This statement was three parts true and seven parts false. Tu Mingjun and Yuan Chun were not very familiar with each other at first, so they didn't hear too many problems.

In Duke Cao’s Dream of the Red Chamber, Yingchun is gentle, Tanchun is sensitive and intelligent, Xichun is a very clear and good girl even though she is young—you must know that Yingtan is only a daughter of a concubine, and Xichun is a girl from another mansion even though she is a concubine, so when it comes to education In fact, it is not as meticulous as that of Yuanchun.

The three springs are not as good as the early spring, which can be seen.

In fact, Yuan Chun's cleverness is actually like her natal aunt Jia Min, and among the sisters of her generation, only Lin Xue's aura can match her.

As I said before, Yuan Chun really put in a lot of effort just to please one person, and it's always not difficult.

Although Tu Mingxuan felt that the harem was full of honey-belly swords, he didn't like it very much, but if he really put his mind to making the dexterity less visible, it would not be impossible to please.

Yuan Chun only acted obediently, and did not show his scheming in the open. He babbled on about trivial matters, but Tu Mingjun listened with ease and joy, and even occasionally he could reconcile with Yuan Chun.

This imperial palace was originally the place where the most humble and exalted. Back then the Empress Dowager was only a concubine, Tu Mingjun was young and unfavored, and her natal family was not prominent. In fact, she was often rubbed and rubbed.

These trivial things sound the sweetest, not only do they not take a lot of thought, but they always make people smile, which is extremely rare for Tu Mingxuan, who has been tense for a long time, to relax.

——Speaking of which, this is also the way of getting along with a husband and wife that a direct granddaughter and direct daughter can learn from their grandmother and mother.

Although chatting with Yuan Chun was pleasant, but in the end Yuan Chun was forcefully given to him in the name of being an elder, and also in the name of being the emperor's party.

So although he stayed here in Fengzao Palace, he only slept here.

Yuan Chun didn't care about it at all.

In the dream, although I used all kinds of secret recipes to give birth to a child, I tried my best to conceive a child successfully, but I only got a stillborn baby. I wasted all my efforts and even lost my life.

So Yuanchun didn't believe that he still had a destiny to have children.

Since it's not for the purpose of having children, it doesn't matter whether you do or don't do the couple's affairs.

It also saves people from being jealous for nothing.

God knows, her biggest ambition now is to die in the palace safely. If it is possible, she can help her natal family a little bit, even if she loses her title and becomes a rich man, it will be much better than her family being destroyed.

He only hoped that she would be more well-behaved and more knowledgeable about current affairs. Tu Mingxuan should not be stingy about a weak woman occupying a place in his harem.

Therefore, the night was very peaceful, although it was the same bed with different dreams, but it was considered to be peaceful.

As for the acetic acid smell in the harem, that was not within the scope of the two of them.

The result of two consecutive days of acknowledgment was that Yuan Chun was almost poked to death by the eyes of the people in the harem when he asked for peace.

Two days in the bedroom is actually not too long, but who made Yuan Chun spend the night in the Holy Palace on the first day, and then got the royal driver to visit him in person on the second day, this is why everyone in the harem is jealous.

Yuan Chun was neither humble nor overbearing, he just pretended that he didn't hear anything.

Luckily, Tuming's harem is still peaceful. Although jealousy is stronger, these people don't have the energy to use their tricks—or they don't have the capital.The only queen who was able to do anything was able to see Tong Shi, knowing that although Tu Mingjun went to Fengzao Palace yesterday, Tong Shi did not remember this.

——If there is no record in Tong's history, it means that she has not been favored, even if she is pregnant with a child, no one recognizes it. Considering Yuan Chun's age, the queen is indeed stable.

He even looked at the few people in the harem with a leisurely smile as they went back and forth to fight verbal lawsuits, and then looked at Yuan Chun, who was as immobile as a mountain, and sighed that he really got a good tutor.

The harem used to be all the old people in the backyard of the palace, their backgrounds were different from the queen's, and in the palace they were all afraid of being oppressed by the queen, all of them were like quails.Although sometimes the queen felt a little jealous for her husband's concubines, but she didn't have much love for her husband, at most, she respected each other like a guest. Looking at the calm harem and the concubines with clumsy means, no matter how Thinking back to the liveliness of the Empress Dowager's palace that I heard when I entered the palace to pay my respects, it was rare to be able to sigh with loneliness like snow.

Until Yuanchun came, although it was said that she was born as a female official, she had a good background and a good reputation.

At the beginning, the queen was not unscrupulous, but when I think about Yuanchun's age, I can't help but sneer—the only person in the harem who can give birth to a child after 25 years old is only one concubine Zhen Taigui Forget it, that's still the relationship with the Supreme Emperor since childhood.

In comparison, how could Yuan Chun compare with Concubine Zhen Taigui.

It was also Yuan Chun's way of keeping himself in order before that confused the queen, and after comparing it with the events of the previous dynasty, he finally guessed that Yuan Chun's behavior may have something to do with the Supreme Emperor.

Such a girl, no matter how clever she is, the Holy Majesty would never allow his eldest son to come from such a woman's womb.

At this point, the queen no longer worried, and just watched the show.

Therefore, the entire palace now regards Yuan Chun as an imaginary enemy, and only the queen has seen through the fog. If Yuan Chun knew, he would probably be able to lament the wisdom of the queen.

The queen got married at the age of 13, and she still has nothing to do for five years, but she is still calm and relaxed. In her dream, it took five or six years before the queen gave birth to a son and a daughter. At that time, there were four or five children in the palace. Prince.

Later, Yuan Chun died, but he was still floating above the palace as the god of soul, and he read many stories——

Firstly, the empress tried her best to promote her concubines in the early years, and several concubines in Tu Ming's Qiandi who were not well-known were forced to be promoted to high positions by her.

Secondly, she didn't suppress the ambitions of her son's concubine brothers. After Tu Mingjun dealt with her several concubine sons who seized the heirloom, she found the sons pleasing to the eye in every possible way, which made her parents and children have a good situation.

In the dream, Yuanchun was only concerned with her natal family. The tree fell down and the monkeys scattered. Baoyu became a monk. Brother Lang lost his qualifications for the scientific examination but joined the army and got an official position. son struggled to get by.

Then Yuan Chun woke up with a start, not knowing what happened next.

But this does not prevent Yuanchun from actually wanting to be an enemy of the queen.

Fortunately, the queen didn't mean to embarrass Yuan Chun. Although Yuan Chun didn't know it yet, when she found out, she was relieved.

Now Yuan Chun just pretends to be indifferent to fame and fortune.

Yuan Chun, who was indifferent to fame and wealth, went back to Fengzao Palace and changed into regular clothes, put on hairpins, removed makeup and went straight into the study.

She used to read mostly travel notes and miscellaneous books, but now she picked up some history books and unofficial histories.

With history as a mirror, we can know the rise and fall.

Yuan Chun knew that his impression in front of the Holy One was probably a negative number, so he naturally had to do his best to improve his favorability, and for the Holy One, there was nothing more troublesome than the Supreme Emperor and his brothers who were not dead.

The queen is a master in backyard affairs, but after all, her family background is limited, and she really can't be a good helper to her husband in political affairs in terms of knowledge.

Tu Mingxuan is a character who will retaliate, if he can help him, he will always be more relaxed when cleaning up his natal family.

So when Tu Mingxuan came to Fengzao Palace in the afternoon, he picked up a home-cooked version of Jia Yuanchun, which still smelled of calligraphy and ink.

This time it's not that the palace people of Fengzao Palace are not careful, it's that Fengzao Palace is too close to Qianqing Palace, even if Fengzao Palace is very careful, at most they can know the news half an hour in advance.

If it was an ordinary concubine, half a quarter of an hour would probably be enough preparation, but for someone like Yuan Chun who took off all her make-up after returning to the palace, it was far from enough.

At most, it would be to add two pieces of unexaggerated jewelry to Yuanchun's homely bun, and then give her a more plain makeup.

Generally speaking, it is from Xiaojiabiyu.

"The formal dress is a bit heavy, and it is even more heavy to wear a whole head and face. When the concubine returns to the palace, I will unload these things and change to some lighter decorations, but your majesty is too close to the concubine, so it is too late. Replace it again." Yuan Chun was really embarrassed at this moment, and couldn't help explaining, but his voice lacked confidence.

In the dream, after Yuan Chun was favored, she really only looked forward to the Holy Family, and she relaxed every moment of the day, and then at that time, the Holy Majesty turned over the green card at noon every time, and someone would come to inform her, and the time would come naturally. in time.But now the Holy Majesty prefers to make a sudden attack for some reason, and it is in the afternoon when he should not enter the harem, so he can block Yuan Chun.

You know, the clothes Yuan Chun is wearing now are really homely, simple and casual, it can be regarded as an imperial disgrace.

Tu Mingxun felt a little strange.

Most of the female relatives he has seen since he was a child are the Supreme Emperor or his own concubines. All of them regard their husbands as their sons, as if they have nothing to do but wait for their husbands and sons every day. They are all the same, that is, Back then, the queen in the palace still had to do housekeeping work, so she didn't have to do nothing on weekdays, but her life was far less colorful than Yuanchun's.

"The concubine's father is not a high-ranking official, but the concubine is the only girl in the family. At that time, the aunt had just married, and the grandfather thought that the daughter was a little sad, so he kept the concubine by his side. At that time, I learned from the wife at home. Playing piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, my grandmother taught women to be female, and my grandfather taught my concubine a few words in passing when he was taking exams on his elder brother's Four Books and Five Classics during the day. My mother's family taught that a woman's lack of talent is virtue. She didn't know much about this, but she taught her These female red chefs deal with human relationships, so they learn a bit more complicated, and have a wider range of hobbies." Yuan Chun was a little embarrassed, and smiled a little reservedly.

Many men in this world think that a woman's lack of talent is virtue, and they don't like girls who can read and write, but some of them really like smart women, and they want to add beauty to their red sleeves.

At the stage of Tu Mingxuan, when he was the prince himself, he actually went to the study to learn a lot of things, but he really wanted to have a Xie Yuhua, but unfortunately his wives and concubines were not very good.

Even the queen was born in a scholarly family, but she is only able to read and write and occasionally recite some familiar poems, but she is not much in terms of aura.

Others are even more blind.

On the contrary, the noble ladies who were drafted out later, there are some who can be liked by Tu Mingxuan.

In the dream, Yuan Chun had never had a heart-to-heart relationship with Tu Mingjun, even if he was full of talent, he couldn't stand the preconceived disgust in Tu Mingjun's heart, but he never had a chance to show it.

But now Yuan Chun has appeared unintentionally.

Of course, it's not easy to say whether this was intentional or not, it's enough for Mingxuan to feel that Yuan Chun was unintentional.
