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

Chapter 31

Compared with the chaos in the empress's palace, Tu Mingjun's harem was undoubtedly so peaceful that Yuan Chun hardly had to worry about it.

Concubine An and the eldest son of the emperor were plotted against. Yuan Chun believed that he did not do anything about it. Apart from Concubine Shu, who had always been indifferent to the world, the culprit or the final murderer identified by the superiors could only be Concubine Yi. .

It doesn't care about calculation skills, and it doesn't need any information. The truth of the matter is so simple that Yuan Chun doesn't even bother to worry about it.

Concubine Yi lost her title and status, and was thrown into a side hall of a desolate palace and confined.Concubine An hurt her body for giving birth to the eldest son of the emperor, so for a while, she could only calm down honestly.

For a while, it seemed that Yuanchun was the only favorite.

This is not a good thing, at least not for Yuan Chun.

It has always been an eternal truth to shoot the bird that stands out.There will never be permanent friends in the harem. Compared with the two concubines An and Yi, Yuan Chun was less of a threat to the Queen. The Queen formed an alliance with Yuan Chun. Now An and Yi can be regarded as abolished. This also means that Yuan Chun can easily face the Queen only if someone provokes him.

So, in spring, it was warm and cold, and one day in Yuanchun, Greedy fell asleep in the pavilion in the garden outside Fengzao Palace.

Mo Xiang, who served Yuan Chun that day, was fined with three months' salary, and temporarily closed his door to contemplate his mistakes.

Yuan Chun nonchalantly drank the bitter soup in one gulp, dressed warmly and leaned on the couch, covered with a thick brocade quilt, holding a miscellaneous book and reading with gusto.

The newly pulled Xiu Yan took the empty medicine bowl and retreated obediently.

Only Baoqin was left beside Yuan Chun.

To be honest, to be honest, Yuan Chun's illness was not very serious. At best, it was a little bit of wind in spring, which was not a big deal.Although she was a little congenitally deficient due to her mother Wang's frequent pregnancies when she was young, after all these years of careful nursing, she has been healthy and healthy for a long time, how could she fall ill after a short period of wind.

It turned out that she deliberately didn't dry off completely after bathing, and then played with Wu'er in the garden for a while, sweating a little before sending Wu'er away. Mo Xiang sat in the yard for a while, and deliberately went to blow the air, and only then did she suffer from a cold.In addition, she used the excuse of her poor appetite to starve herself a few times before the wind blowing, and then her pulse showed some weakness after the wind and cold.

When the hatchback was combined, it seemed that Yuan Chun's illness was very serious.

Yuan Chun is eager to welcome the intrigue, in order to temporarily restrain his edge.

To be honest, no matter what it was for, Yuan Chun was very unwilling to let himself confront the queen for nothing.

Not to mention that the queen has always done an excellent job in dealing with people, so there is nothing to criticize.Just to take a step back, even if the queen is wrong in every possible way, even though I am a concubine who is glamorous on the outside, but in fact she is not favored by the emperor, if she confronts the queen when she has no children, she will always be unable to please her. of.

"The Holy Majesty does not care whether it is day or night on weekdays, even if he comes to Fengzao Palace, most of the time it is just to chat with me. Regarding this point, the empress empress holds the history of the harem in her hand, so she is naturally clear in her heart. Because of this, the Queen Mother was naturally more willing to be favored by me than Concubine An and Yi in the past. But now that these two have been restrained, I have become a ready target." With blood in the dream Yuan Chun naturally sees the lessons learned from others' past mistakes clearly, and under this kind of grace, he is also extraordinarily sober.

She didn't have the slightest performance of being favored and arrogant like in a dream, but she was extremely clear-headed in her heart.

"If I can be undefeated for a lifetime, just like the Dong family or the Wan family in the past, I obviously don't have that ability, and the Holy Majesty is not a womanizer. Now I have a glamorous face, but the inside is just because of it." Seeing that there are fewer people in the palace now, it shows that I have come, which is really not a real favor. Just wait, when the draft is over in the middle of the year, there will definitely be a group of newcomers. It's called a hundred flowers blooming, and when a girl of fourteen, five or six years old is in the blooming period, all the old people in the palace will be counted one by one, and they will have to give way to the newcomers for a while at that time." Before letting himself fall ill, Yuan Chun said to Bao Qin, "Among the people in this palace, the empress is in the middle palace. Even if hundreds of newcomers come, it is impossible to shake her position. So Well, before the newcomers' sharpness fades away, I really shouldn't have offended the queen just because of the so-called scenery for a day or two."

You know, Cao Gonghonglou clearly pointed out that all the maids raised in the Rongguo Mansion have the spirit of a deputy lady. The servant girls brought up here cannot escape the imprint of Rongfu.Although she is loyal to Yuanchun, sometimes her loyalty is not what Yuanchun wants. What is even more frightening is that sometimes she will do things directly according to her own ideas, and will not He Yuanchun explained in advance.

Let's use an analogy, although Yuanchun still trusts Baoqin very much, but she is still not sure whether Baoqin has participated in the matter of becoming a concubine for herself in the matter of being favored inexplicably and becoming a concubine for herself Add bricks and tiles to things.

After going back and forth, Yuan Chun felt a little estranged from Baoqin, and it was not that Baoqin had never been annoyed by this matter in his heart.But in the end, there are still too few people in her hands who are really worthy of her trust, at least in such a big matter, except for Baoqin, who was born with her, Yuan Chun dare not trust anyone else people.

You know, Tu Mingjun is a very suspicious person, or in other words, he has always been suspicious of specific people - such as his gang of brothers who are not dead and want to fight for the throne, and noble children like Yuan Chun .

Just relying on the ending in the dream, Yuan Chun can't guarantee whether Tu Mingjun's paranoia will happen to him.

You know, based on what happened to himself in the dream and what happened in Rongning's second mansion, Yuan Chun absolutely didn't dare to go to the mind of the gambler Mingjun, and only dared to calculate the worst ending every step he took.

Therefore, according to the common sense, this is just a matter that can be accomplished by buying one or two imperial physicians with a little word of mouth.But in order to prevent from poking a certain string in Tu Ming's heart and causing trouble for nothing, Yuan Chun made up his mind to forcibly toss himself out of the illness.

"Even if the wind and cold are delayed, it won't be better after half a month, and the master can't toss his body for this, but this draft will take four or five months, if you are really sick In the next four or five months, I'm afraid that the Holy One will really forget about the master." Looking at Yuan Chun's leisurely and carefree look, Baoqin felt a little anxious in his heart.

Baoqin's worries are not groundless.

Yuan Chun can hide for a while, but can't hide for a lifetime. The draft is always in May and June, but now it's not yet the first month, and it will take about half a year for newcomers to enter the palace.

But Yuan Chun is absolutely impossible and impossible to be sick for half a year.

Hearing Baoqin's words, Yuan Chun's hand turning over the book paused for a moment.

"It's not enough to be sick for half a year, but if the wind-cold illness only lasts for ten days and a half months, it can always be done... During these ten days and a half months, there will always be some noble people and beauties. It's really not good. It's not impossible for a woman to stand out." Yuan Chun didn't intend to be so selfless as to push out all the favors, but he was still willing to have someone who could share his gaze a little bit.

After all, from the very beginning, Yuan Chun never positioned himself as a favorite concubine.Yuan Chun is more willing to work hard to gain the queen's favorability than trying to win favor with Tu Mingxuan.

"If it doesn't work..." Yuan Chun tried hard to recall his dream, vaguely remembering that the remaining people in the palace don't seem to have anything to deal with, but they are honest with each other like Concubine Shu, "In more than half a month Concubine An will be confinement at one point, and instigating her to make troubles is also a good way." After all, Concubine An is the birth mother of the eldest son of the emperor, and no matter how dignified and magnanimous the empress is, it is impossible for her not to care about these things at all.

If An Pin can make a fuss, it can fully divert the queen's attention.

and……

Yuan Chun tried hard to think about his dream, and always felt that it was not so easy to be beaten to death with a stick in Yipin's place.

From the current point of view, Yuanchun's plan is not wrong at all.

While she was carelessly avoiding laziness under the guise of wind and cold, the full moon banquet for the eldest son of the emperor had already arrived.

Yuan Chun didn't want to be in the limelight, so he just casually gave him a small gold longevity lock, and then hid aside, slacking off and not showing up.

But fortunately, others didn't care what Yuan Chun did. While worrying about her frail son, An Pin also wanted to attract the attention of Tu Mingjun, so she didn't pay attention to what Yuan Chun did for a while.

Or in other words, she wished Yuan Chun would do nothing and not steal her limelight.

You know, the big banquets for newborns are only for the [-]th full moon and [-]th birthday. child's mother.

And Yuan Chun just wanted An Concubine to pick out her own height to increase the empress's hatred, so naturally she would not have any opinion on An Concubine's high profile.

It's just that although Concubine An has exhausted the tricks, the second day of February is a big day when the dragon raises its head, and Concubine An can be regarded as the protagonist in today's banquet, but according to the rules of the ancestors, on this day, should Tu Mingxuan be with her? Sleeping with the queen.

Yuan Chun sat quietly in his seat, didn't say anything, just focused on watching the show.

There is actually a gap between the current situation and the dream.

In the dream, the eldest son of the emperor was born on the second day of February, and he was in good health, which saved Concubine An enough face.Now Concubine An was tricked by Concubine Yi, which not only caused the eldest son of the emperor to lose the perfect birthday in his dream, but also ruined the eldest son's health.

In the dream, the eldest son of the emperor still had the strength to compete with the empress's son-in-law for favor and heir. It is not yet known whether the eldest son of the emperor can grow up safely in Chengdu.

Yuan Chun silently became a bystander, secretly thinking about what he should do.
