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

Chapter 110 Six

Yuan Chun never denied that there should be some affection between herself and Tu Mingjun, but she didn't think it was the so-called love.Even though she also likes to read the love stories in the West Chamber Storybook, she actually doesn't believe in these stories.

It is often said that young couples come to accompany each other for a long time, and the man and woman who have been able to carry each other through a long period of time will probably have this kind of love for each other in the end.

Everyone in the palace knew that since the birth of An and Diji, the health of Concubine Xian was getting worse day by day.

I don't know how many people in this palace have taken a fancy to Yuan Chun's status as a noble concubine, and burned incense every day to pray for Yuan Chun's return to the West as soon as possible, but Yuan Chun has been ill for more than [-] years.

Concubine Xian's pregnancy was difficult at the beginning, and everyone thought that Concubine Xian probably wouldn't be able to survive the calamity of childbirth, and she might end up with two dead bodies, and Yuan Chun's pregnancy image was indeed very poor. It's no secret that concubines don't have eyeliner in the imperial hospital, and it's no secret that Yuan Chun's pregnancy is dangerous.

However, even though there were many disasters and disasters during childbirth, Yuan Chun still survived. Even though the child had exhausted his efforts, he still survived in the end. He gritted his silver teeth.

It's really a miracle.

Yuan Chun's vitality was seriously injured due to pregnancy, even Qian Wanbao started to give birth when she was more than seven months old, because her own strength was already insufficient, so she forced herself to swallow a lot of food and oxytocin. It took a day and a night of struggling to give birth to a skinny little girl.And before the nanny who delivered the baby finished bathing Di Ji, Yuan Chun passed out due to a collapse of blood.

If it wasn't for Yuan Chun's preparations to make people boil a row of decoctions to stop bleeding at the other end of the small kitchen, Baoqin was so cruel that he simply opened Yuan Chun's mouth and poured a lot of it, if he just waited for the imperial doctor then If he was prescribing medicine to save people, I'm afraid Yuan Chun would have collapsed from the blood a long time ago.

Even so, Yuan Chun had been in a coma for three or four days before waking up, and the little Di Ji had to be kept in the Tai Hospital for more than three months before she was barely out of danger.

Yuan Chun, who was already physically weak due to childbirth, was exhausted physically and mentally from guarding the little Di Ji day and night. Even sitting in the confinement period was of no use.

Even the Tai Hospital didn't dare to be careless and prescribed nourishing medicine from time to time, but Yuan Chun's body was still like a leaking bucket, no matter how nourishing the medicine was, it was difficult to absorb, but it was just warming up.

So, after the little Di Ji had just passed a week, Yuan Chun asked people to go to the Queen Mother to beg for grace, saying only that he wanted to raise the little Di Ji under the Queen Mother's knees.

Ever since the parents and children got married one after another, the queen mother's side has been completely deserted. Raising a baby can just make the queen mother more popular in the palace, and Yuan Chun is very respectable in front of the queen mother. Knowing that Yuan Chun has lost his body Under such circumstances, the queen mother is also willing to mention the identity of Yuan Chun's daughter.

"Although Di Ji is raised by my side, I don't need to take care of it myself, and it really doesn't hurt my spirits. But I don't hide it from my mother. I always know what's going on with my own body, but I just try to take care of it. I'm just trying to get through the day, and I don't know how long it will last. So this time it's my selfish calculation. After all, if Di Ji can be raised by her mother, no one will dare to bully Di Ji without her mother's care in the future. "The queen mother also gave Yuan Chun some face, and sent her most useful mother Liang to Fengzao Palace to pick her up, and this Liang mother was also someone Yuan Chun had tried to curry favor with.

At the beginning, he thought that if he fell out of favor one day, he could rely on his affection in front of the queen mother to keep himself safe until his old age, but he didn't expect to become a supporter in the end.

It stands to reason that Yuanchun just suffered a loss of health, and just needs to rest. It is not a disease that is afraid of getting sick. In fact, it is not necessary to entrust Diji to others to be raised, but Yuanchun thinks too much I just want to find a backer for my daughter who will never fail.

The daughters of the Jia family never lived long. Among the four aunts in Yuanchun's previous generation, the longest-lived one was only in their 40s--and Yuanchun is now in his 30s. You may not be able to see your children get married as adults.

Yuan Chun raised Tu Jinghuai and gave birth to a girl, and she knows the difference between her own and her non-biological ones best—she also really loves Tu Jinghuai, but she will never be so troublesome as she is with her daughter. Tu Jinghuai paved the way for the future.From himself and others, Yuan Chun felt worried about entrusting his daughter to other concubines in the palace, so the Queen Mother became the best candidate.

One reason is that no matter how turbulent the harem will be in the future, as long as the queen mother is still alive for a day, she will never lose power; In fact, the concubines who have nothing to do with the little emperor can be trusted.

At that time, everyone thought that Yuanchun had survived the hurdle of childbirth, and probably only lived for a year or two.

Baoyu married his bride more than four months after giving birth in Yuanchun. In the general election after the turn of the year, Daiyu, who made an exception to participate in the draft, was caught by Prince Gong in the imperial garden.

With Daiyu's current status, being the first consort of the prince is actually quite a feat. What's more, although her brows are upright, but her bones look weak, she is obviously not the look that her mother-in-law likes.

However, Prince Gong’s family is different——Prince Gong is the only son of the second queen of the Supreme Emperor. His biological mother passed away early, and there is no pressure on his heirs. His princess disappeared a few years ago. It was supposed to refer to a second wife to enter the mansion.

And if it is a stepmother, the requirements on the birth dowry are actually not so high.

The Supreme Emperor also knows that he has abdicated now. Although he still has power in his hands, since he has no intention of setting up a new emperor, it is still futile to count on how the other children will live in the future.Although he can still restrain Tu Mingjun one or two times, it is not as suitable as making Tu Mingjun sincerely care for his brothers.

So when King Gong proposed marriage to Tu Mingjun, although the Supreme Emperor also felt that Daiyu's body and bones might not be regarded as having many children and blessings, he didn't say anything in the end.

So the marriage went smoothly.

At that time, Jia's mother was not too young, but she was worried that her daughter-in-law would treat her granddaughter badly, so she finally managed to personally collect the Lin family's property that Jia Lian brought back at that time, and put together a very decent dowry for Daiyu.

Because the royal family has its own standards for marrying a daughter-in-law, and the step-concubine cannot exceed the rules of the original spouse, even Jia's mother wanted to give her granddaughter a splendid marriage, and she could only bring 98 sets of dowry with her in the end, excluding the accompanying ones from the House of Internal Affairs. Things, even if these 98 sets are packed to the brim, they are only worth more than [-]% of the Lin family's property.

It was because Mother Jia deliberately stuffed all the ancient calligraphy and painting books collected by the Lin family into the dowry box, but there was no conflict with Mrs. Wang - Mrs. Wang didn't know the value of these things, she only had her eyes on the gold and silver shop.

Then two years later, Second Grandma Bao acted as a matchmaker and matched Xichun with the youngest son of a clan.

So far, there is nothing in the Jia family's generation that Yuanchun should worry about.

When the little Diji born in Yuanchun was 12 years old, Yuanchun's body collapsed again without warning, and she would be unconscious for at least ten hours out of twelve hours a day—this time compared to the time when she gave birth Even more dangerous, even Yuan Chun was fully prepared to hand over two copies of his private booklet to Jing Huai, who was about to get married and leave the palace to open the house. He only said that half was for him, and the other half was for him to wait. When Xiao Diji leaves the pavilion, she adds makeup to her.

This year, Tu Jinghuai is already in his 20s, and in this age when he should get married and have children in the fifteenth or sixteenth year, it is already a veritable late marriage—it was just because his princess was young at the beginning, so he delayed it for a few years. When the wedding date was finally set, the Supreme Emperor quietly disappeared in his sleep, so he had to wait for another three years, which was delayed until now.

By the way, Tu Jinghuai's concubine was the one he asked for in front of Tu Mingxuan himself. It was Jia Lan's cousin, Jia Lian and Wang Xifeng's daughter Jia Qiao, who was said to have fallen in love with Jia Lan when he invited him to Jia's mansion. .

When the marriage was arranged, Yuan Chun and Tu Ming sighed for a while that the brothers and sisters of Jia's two households were all married to the royal family.

——Jia Lan was the only one who was not married to the clan. He was spotted by an old man in the study at that time, and married the granddaughter of that old man. Although he has not yet won the Jinshi, he already has a Juren The fame and fame will be over in just one more year.

At that time, Yuan Chun was seriously ill, not only did he divide up his private house early, but also because he was afraid of delaying Tu Jinghuai's marriage again, he deliberately told Tu Mingjun that he wanted to advance Tu Jinghuai's marriage.

——Although Tu Jinghuai is not the parent-child of Tu Mingjun, and Yuan Chun is only a concubine, but after all, he has raised Tu Jinghuai for more than ten years. Year.

Normally, a concubine will always have special favors before she dies, just like Concubine An who was promoted to the concubine two years ago before she passed away, but Yuanchun's position has come to an end, when the queen is still alive There was no room for further advancement, so Yitu Minghao had no choice but to favor his sons and daughters, and chose the title of Diji from Yuanchun in advance, that is, Anhe Diji.

——You know, not every concubine has a title, just like Baoyu's wife is also a princess, but even if she gets married, she can't get a title.

When Yuanchun was seriously ill, it was already in November, and neither the twelfth lunar month nor the first month was suitable for weddings, so Tu Jinghuai's marriage was arranged in February.

In order not to delay the marriage of his adopted son and niece, Yuanchun forced himself to hold on for a while, and even half of the Imperial Hospital was stationed in Fengzao Palace, relying entirely on Dushen Decoction to ensure that Yuanchun could hold his breath.

On the second day when Sister Qiao came in, Yuan Chun fell completely unconscious after meeting the bride, and finally woke up after seven days of coma—at that time, everyone thought Yuan Chun was just a flashback. Gradually getting better, although the bones of the body are still as weak as before, but in the end it has survived another catastrophe.

Although it seems unbelievable, everyone thought that sister Qiao was blessed in her life, so she succeeded.

Then Yuanchun passed another 12 years without any danger.

And this time Yuanchun knew that he probably really couldn't make it through.

Three spring contests and early spring scenes, the tiger and the rabbit meet and return with a big dream.

She has been dreaming recently, and what she dreams of is still the place she went to when she was serving in bed at the beginning of the first day more than 20 years ago-it is still served by the police fairy and another woman who has never seen who claims to be lovely. However, it was waiting for Yuanchun to be intimate, and the woman named Keqing took the initiative to go to the Boming Department to get Jinling's brochure and handed it to Yuanchun. Except for the two poems in the original book, the rest are actually the same. They were all ticked off.As for the two verdicts, Keqing said that the first verdict was actually her own, and the other was Yuan Chun's.

In this world, there is a reason why doctors don't heal themselves. Yuan Chun can change everyone's fate, but he can't change his own verdict.It stands to reason that she should have returned to the illusory realm when An and Diji were born, but that time it was the merits she accumulated when she changed her life against the sky and saved herself once.

But the second time, it was Tu Jinghuai's sincere prayer and Yuan Chun's obsession that saved him once again.

The price is that Yuan Chun's physical body can no longer carry her soul, which is why she is getting weaker and weaker even though she has no illness.

"Only this time, there is no room for loss. If it weren't for this, our sisters shouldn't make an exception and make you come again." In the end, Fairy Jing Huan, who had dealt with Yuan Chun before, explained the problem to Yuan Chun in detail. , I'm afraid that Yuanchun still has something unwilling, "It's not good if you hurt Yuanshen for some trivial matters."

Because of this time of sleepwalking in Taixu again, Yuan Chun finally knew that her time was approaching—fortunately, she didn't have any obsessions this time, and simply let nature take its course.

It's just that during the daily reading time on a certain day, I quietly burned all the writing papers about the verdict of the illusory realm that I recorded at the beginning.

Then one night in the twelfth lunar month, I quietly stopped breathing...

It was quiet, no one was alarmed.

The author has something to say:

Finally finished writing, this last chapter was stuck for about four or five days, but in the end I still didn’t know what to say, so I could only end it in such a hasty way, probably to talk about the ending of the other twelve beauties, and then after Yuanchun’s experience Back to too illusory realm...

The new article is in preparation, it should also be the story of the Red Chamber... I don't know how to put links in the article, so you can follow my column to see it, tomorrow night at [-] o'clock...
