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

Chapter 20

What kind of crime is a disrespect in front of the imperial court?

To be honest, this is a light or heavy charge, depending on the mood of the Holy Majesty.If you are in a good mood, you probably just laugh it off.But if the mood is not clear, there are quite a few people who went to Huangquan for this reason.

Yuan Chun's disgrace this time was because the headdress under the costume was heavier than usual.Yuan Chun got used to being casual in front of Tu Mingxuan again, for a moment he forgot all kinds of complicated jewelry on his head, and moved a little too loudly, and the headdress fell on the couch under the pull of gravity.

Although it was also a disgrace in front of the imperial court, it was a coincidence of various causes and conditions, and it was not humanly possible. It really should not be blamed on other people.

But even so, a crowd of people fell to their knees in this hall, and it was immediately quiet.

Last night, Baoqin was on duty in Yuanchun's room. This morning, Baoqin followed Yuanchun to the Queen's place to pay her respects. It was hard work.Yuanchun cared for Baoqin, and once he returned to Fengzao Palace, he promised Baoqin to go back to his own room to rest, so Baoqin was not here at this time.

——In fact, in front of Tu Mingxuan, Yuan Chun prefers to be served by Mo Xiang and the little girls, but Baoqin usually doesn't appear much.

So at this moment, apart from the people serving around Tu Mingjun in the room, only Mo Xiang and two little girls named Liu'er and Yue'er are serving in Yuan Chun's place.

Mo Xiang was fine, after all, she had served by Tu Mingjun's side before, and she wasn't very worried about her own life, so it was only these two little boys who hadn't seen the stage that were really frightened. It's just a girl.

But in the end, it was considered a shock to Sheng Jia, so no matter what the people in the temple thought, they all knelt on the ground.

On the other hand, Yuan Chun's reaction was a bit slow. Seeing that everyone else was kneeling, he was startled for a while, and then he knelt down in a little bewilderment.

In fact, she didn't react very slowly, the time of hesitation was actually not long, and it was only a moment.But if you pay attention, you can actually see the time difference between the two parties more clearly.

To be honest, the charge of misconduct in front of the imperial court may not be big or small, and most of it is actually just an excuse. It depends on whether the higher-ups have the intention to deal with this person.

Yuan Chun is actually quite clear about this, so there is nothing to panic about.After all, it was just a matter of jewelry, and it was the jewelry that Tu Mingjun rewarded the day before yesterday, so he couldn't really charge himself with malicious intentions because of this.

In fact, Tu Mingjun didn't care about the lack of manners.

At the very least, at this moment, Tu Mingxun still had some liking for Yuan Chun, and there was absolutely no reason for him to get angry because of such a trivial matter.Even if he retreated [-] steps, Yuan Chun really didn't like him at this time, at most he just walked away, just looking at the face of the Supreme Emperor, it is very unlikely that he would have such an excuse to attack.

So Tu Mingxuan just waved his hand and got people up, and he didn't care at all.

Yuan Chun started out of kindness, and didn't take this matter to heart at all.

I'm even in the mood to say a few words about the turmoil in today's greetings.

"Although the Jin ceremony has not been completed, the concubine is actually not a serious concubine, but this Buyao was bestowed by the sage yesterday, and today she has surpassed it once. She dressed up to be domineering once, and then she wore a head. The jewelry racks were born alive, and I also felt that these things were a bit heavy. But it was worth it even if I was tired. Today, my concubine is dressed up here, and An Concubine is very angry. After all, because of her current body It's inconvenient, and I don't dare to make up for it. Seeing my concubine coming here in full dress, Concubine An's mood is naturally not too much. In addition, Concubine An's energy is getting weaker due to pregnancy, so it's not like she's too late today For a long time - this is actually a common thing, and it is not worth paying attention to. Only the concubine got the golden words from the Holy Spirit yesterday, and got a reward. A chair, this matter may make Concubine An very angry." In this world, the left is always respected, since Concubine An became pregnant, Concubine Yi was pushed to the right seat, and she herself Occupying the seat on the left, I thought I was No.1 under the Queen.

However, today, Yuanchun relied on the fact that the sage and empress verbally agreed to her promotion yesterday, and also gave her some clothing and jewelry for the imperial concubine. He took Anpin's seat.

——Because Concubine An arrived late, everyone else took their own seats, but they were squeezed out of Yuanchun's original seat. At the end of the concubine's position, it is also the first place among the nobles, that is, the second chair from the right.In this way, Concubine An couldn't help but not get angry.

When Yuan Chun said this, he was also laughing at Yan Yan, with a straight-faced look, and he didn't feel that his behavior was against women's morals.

Yuan Chun picked up Bu Yao who had fallen on the couch, and handed it to Mo Xiang. Mo Xiang packed Buyao into the makeup box, and then sat back on the couch.Although the resplendent Buyao is missing from the bun, she is still dressed up in full spirits.

On weekdays, Yuan Chun is also a character who laughs, yells and scolds as he pleases, but under the usual refreshing and simple attire, he seems more transparent and natural than others, but under the current attire, he looks more lively and lively.

The Supreme Emperor's Concubine Zhen Taigui was favored by her gentleness and consideration. As the son of the aggrieved "sister" under Zhen Taigui Concubine's hands, Tu Mingxuan naturally didn't have much affection for this kind of woman, but admired the straightforward ones more. woman.

Obtaining Tu Mingjun's liking from the dream, Yuan Chun intentionally shaped his personality into the appearance that Tu Mingjun liked, but now he has benefited.

After all, although Yuan Chun's initial impression score was extremely low, he gained a little favorability with Tu Mingxuan day by day.On the contrary, although Concubine An has been with Tu Mingxuan for several years, because of her recent behavior, Tu Mingxuan's mind is far away.

Under the ebb and flow, Tu Mingjun didn't blame anything for Yuan Chun's dislike of Concubine An.

Just thinking that Concubine An is pregnant, even though she doesn't like her very much, but Tu Mingxuan had to remind Yuan Chun: "Concubine An is pregnant, she should restrain herself."

When Tu Mingjun said this, he seemed to be dissatisfied with Yuan Chun.

The servants in the room had the urge to kneel again.

On the other hand, Yuan Chun still pretended not to know anything, and still had a bright smile on his face.

"The Empress naturally watched Concubine Gu carefully, and the House of Internal Affairs also opened her mouth. If Concubine An has any needs, she will do her best first, and she will do everything properly." Yuan Chun asked for credit for the Queen in a brisk tone, as if in vain. What Ming Jun said before did not mean her, "Also, Concubine An is also cautious, and she dare not ignore her body. Whenever there is any discomfort in her body, the imperial doctor will go to her immediately. It is not far away. Said, just yesterday, I went to the doctor three or four times for the Ping'an pulse, and everyone said that the pregnancy is stable, which shows the little prince's considerate temperament."

Yuan Chun's words were full of praise, without the slightest intention of complaining, but they also gave An Bin a small eye salve.

After all, the imperial hospital is for the whole palace to order. Concubine An has tossed and tossed the imperial physician many times a day, which shows that she is too much--and everyone said that concubine An's fetal breath is safe, but she just tossed and tossed the imperial physician again and again. He used this as an excuse to rob the emperor from the queen and send him to his own palace.

It is impossible for Tu Mingjun not to notice Yuan Chun's careful thoughts. Although he has An Bi in mind, it is impossible to completely forget Yuan Chun's place.

But Yuan Chun seemed to be just talking casually, and only briefly mentioned this topic, and then stopped making complaints, which made Tu Minghao's newly raised defenses a lot dispelled.

"Since Concubine An's health is fine, concubine should be a bit presumptuous. Before the little prince was born, Concubine An was not promoted because of her meritorious service. The position of concubine can slightly overwhelm her, but I don't want to come out first." Vent your anger. Otherwise, Concubine An will be promoted to another level, regardless of the order in which she was promoted secretly, as long as she still has a title, the status of a concubine will be lower than hers, and then I will have to suffer again." Yuan Chun smiled narrowly. , expressing her little thoughts clearly, not caring at all that she revealed the not-so-good side of her temperament.

Obviously she was talking about jealousy and narrow-mindedness, but she still had a full-fledged expression, not at all embarrassed, very righteous, and she looked like a hot pepper.

Compared with the thousands of people in the palace, it is undoubtedly such a lively personality that is more popular with Tu Mingxuan.

"Concubine is narrow-minded. Concubine An has always acted like a bullying concubine. I don't like it that much. As a concubine, although Concubine Yi is a little cautious, she is not difficult to get along with. Concubine Jian is also a meritorious person, but Not as proud as Concubine An, but she has a very likable temperament. Just such a comparison makes the concubine not love Concubine An's temperament even more." Yuan Chun commented on the other concubines rather disapprovingly.

Because Tu Ming's harem is really out of shape, it has raised people's minds--Concubine An's seventh-rank official daughter can torment people wantonly because of her pregnancy, Concubine Yi looks good now, but only It can be seen from seeing her rushing to give birth to the second prince and instigating the second prince to become ambitious for the throne.

Even Yuan Chun, in the dream, she and the people in the Rong Mansion didn't have the ambition to give birth to a prince and replace her with a queen.It's just that she has stopped thinking about it now, and only thinks about living her own life.

Concubine Jian, on the other hand, because she hurt her body when she gave birth to a concubine when she was young, and has no children since then, it is impossible for her to have any ambitions, but she has always been quiet, so it is okay for Yuanchun to boast a few more words.

To be honest, in Yuan Chun's capacity, he shouldn't judge these "sisters" wantonly.It's just that Yuan Chun was too aboveboard when he said this. Although it was an evaluation, it was actually more like a complaint.

It made Tu Minghao unable to think about anything else.

"Oh, how do you say that?" After all, Tu Mingxun grew up in the palace of the Empress Dowager, and has seen many stories about honey-belly swords.Most of the concubines in the harem clearly hate each other, but they can still laugh at their sisters and sisters and call them affectionate, but it is rare for Yuan Chun to express his happiness, anger, love and hatred so clearly.

"Needless to say about Concubine An, she was able to provoke the empress yesterday. Concubines are often targeted—they are both concubines in the harem, and there is no reason why no one is more noble than the other. Naturally, the concubine sees her differently." Concubine Jian looks a bit like the concubine Yutai, she is really quiet. Although my concubine doesn't have much friendship with her, there is nothing wrong with being as light as water. As for concubine Yi, she is a bit like the nobleman Wei in the early years. Your Majesty and Mrs. Wei are not on good terms, and she is a bit angry." Yuan Chun spread his hands, not intending to hide anything.

The Wei Guiren she was talking about was the biological mother of the Ninth and Eleventh Princes of the Supreme Emperor. She was originally from a palace, and her family background was not very high.

Due to her family background, she was not able to secure a high position until she died, and she was only a nobleman until her death.However, she gave birth to two sons, nine princes and eleven princes, under the strict guard of Concubine Zhen, and they all managed to grow up by her side.

You know, the fifth prince who was also born in the palace is not blessed to be raised by his biological mother.

Later, the abolished princes forced the palace to rebel, and the sons of the Supreme Emperor suffered heavy casualties, but although the nine princes and eleven princes had a tragic ending, they all survived in the end.

Not long after that, the Wei family, who was originally in good health, passed away due to illness, and he was not granted the title of Jin until his death.

At that time, because they were both nobles at the beginning, the Wei family gave birth to two sons and did not get the Jin title, but the empress dowager only gave birth to Tu Mingxuan and occupied the last seat of the nine concubines. There was indeed some tension between the two. Not very harmonious, but this is not a secret.

Wei Shi has always hidden himself well, but he doesn't show off, and his reputation in the harem is really good.And although Tu Mingjun didn't know much about the harem, and he didn't know much about Wei nobleman's temperament, but seeing the behavior of the two elder brothers who were raised by Wei's single-handedly, it can be seen that Wei's methods are really good.

Later Wei Guiren died but did not receive any posthumous honor.Although the Supreme Emperor intentionally concealed it, but after Tu Mingxuan ascended the throne, he had some manpower after all. Through some clues, he vaguely noticed that there seemed to be the secret means of the Wei family and his two elder brothers in the matter of the abolished prince Tu Mingming forcing the palace.

Originally, Tu Mingjun had a good impression of Concubine Yi, but when Yuan Chun said this, he inexplicably recalled some bad memories.Although Yuan Chun probably didn't know too much—in fact, the Queen Mother might not be very clear about many things—but Tu Mingjun still couldn't help being a bit wary of Concubine Yi.
