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

Chapter 45

"Emotional separation comes from a place, and the Holy One will not suffer from getting along with the Supreme Emperor on weekdays." Regarding Tu Mingjun's current situation, Yuan Chun was not surprised, "I also have brothers and sisters in my concubine's family. The concubines and even the East Mansion get along differently. Needless to say, the elder brother who is a direct relative has the deepest affection, and the cousin who lives next door is not too early, but the cousin and the cousin who is now married to the cousin But it is about the same age as my concubine, which is considered close. The other younger siblings and my concubine are all very different in age, but the younger brother who is a direct relative is different, not to mention the closeness in blood. When the concubine entered the palace, he was just a baby and also a concubine Those who taught the Three-Character Classic and Thousand-Character Classic hand in hand day and night, naturally have affection. The other side is more about hearing the news after entering the palace with the piano."

"The second younger sister is a concubine from the uncle's family. She is docile and even a little cowardly. She doesn't get close to others on weekdays, just like a transparent person. She neither gets close to others, and no one wants to get close to her. The third younger sister is a concubine. The half-brother has a clever temperament and is willing to get close to my concubine mother and younger brother on weekdays, so although my mother treats her not as well as me, she is still very good. The fourth sister in the East Mansion has the weakest affection She is naturally cold-hearted, even her own direct relatives, brothers and sisters-in-law, she doesn't want to talk to her. It's good, and I'm sorry that she lost her mother at birth, so I can take care of her more on weekdays." As for the boy born in the family, Yuan Chun didn't want to talk about it.

Fortunately, Tu Mingjun didn't want to know more about the concubine's natal family, and he didn't care too much, but just listened to some voices.

"They're all blood, so it's natural for people to get along more and get closer." Tu Mingjun nodded in recognition of Yuan Chun's words.

Even for myself, from the bottom of my heart, I would always be closer to my mother, who had shared the joys and sorrows with me, than my father and emperor. As for those half-brothers and sisters, there was only superficial affection.

Yuan Chun narrowed his eyes slightly, and smiled softly: "It turns out that the concubine has selfish intentions, and the concubine's sisters are fine, but the concubine's brothers are really unlovable, but it's human nature to ask the emperor to say that, not a concubine." Be careful."

"That's all for those who are from the Shuxiang family. The Qingliu people always say that they pay attention to rules and decency. If the concubine is the head of the uncle's house, even if they only have a cousin and a dead heir, they don't like to have a concubine. But there is no such rule in the Xungui family. The ancestors of the Xungui family were all fought with real swords and guns on the battlefield. They really lost their lives at some point, no matter what the descendants are, you have to stay first before you can feel at ease. It is the stable life now When she came down, she still followed the rules of her ancestors, and she was very generous to the girl in the house. Both houses had children from concubines, but since there were children from the concubines, the children from the concubines could not go past the eldest brother who was born from the concubine. "Xungui's family really doesn't pay attention to this. In Yuanchun's generation, because he first married an uncle of a scholarly family, his father wanted to take the imperial examination to become an official in the early years, so he started to pay attention to it a little bit. In front of the birth.

In the previous generation, Rong Guogong Jia Daishan gave birth to three concubine daughters, the first one was older than Yuanchun's uncle Jia She. But she was a concubine who was raised by her aunt's side.

There are quite a few concubine children in the families of the four kings and eight princes, especially the concubine daughters. They can show the magnanimity and virtuousness of the concubine wives without really harming their own actual interests. Taking this opportunity to form a good marriage is much more cost-effective than having a son from a concubine, and most people have it in their families.

But this kind of situation is less in the scholarly family. This time the draft is basically all descendants, and the only daughter of a guerrilla general who is a concubine is from a military general.

"The males in the family are ranked according to each house, and the girls are counted according to the ranking in the entire mansion. After all, girls only stay at home until they get married, and according to the ranking in the entire mansion, they also increase their status as girls. The concubine is from the second house. , but at that time the grandfather was still there, so he decided to let the concubine be the big sister of the whole mansion, and now that the grandfather is gone, but the old grandmother of the natal family is in good health, and she can always see a few girls getting married, so she simply takes possession of her. Taking advantage of this, the uncle's family doesn't care." Yuan Chun seriously explained the story of his mother's family, "The concubine's mother's parents now have a pair of children besides the concubine's brother and nephew. The girl is Rong The third girl in the mansion, the boy is the third elder brother of the second room, all born to an aunt, because the elder brother of the concubine's family is gone, and the age difference between the concubine's son and the concubine's son is too small, the mother of the concubine's family naturally doesn't like him It's just that the mother treats the concubine daughter well in everything, so no one can say that the mother is not virtuous." Mrs. Wang must be sincere to her own children, but no one knows how much sincerity the concubine's children have. It's easy to say.It's just that women basically come here like this, as long as they can't make mistakes on the surface.

"Most people in honorable families have concubines, and everyone knows how to beat one by one. In a family with more concubines, it is good for those who are quiet and obedient, and those who are top-notch and strong will be suppressed. As long as there are concubines in the family A concubine who is willing to speak for the aunt, no one can say that the wife is not." Yuan Chun smiled and explained the things in the backyard of Xungui's family with Tu Mingjun, "Although there are many concubines in this family, but The wives of the main family also have their own methods, thinking that the concubines should not be allowed to pass over the concubines, the girls will be fine, and the boys will study, learn martial arts, become officials, and get married. All the things that the head of the family can do There are many."

While speaking, Yuan Chun stuffed two pieces of snacks into his mouth, stuffed his mouth full, and chewed slowly, looking at Tu Ming's thoughtful expression.

Although the royal rules are different from the outside world, there are always similarities. Tu Mingjun has now become a justifiable Ninth Five-Year King. Although there are many difficulties, most of them are between father and son brothers.

Although Yuan Chun didn't understand the affairs of the previous dynasty, he had some insight into these matters by analogy.

At least between father and son, brother, aunt, and concubine, there is no one in the palace as clear as Yuan Chun.

After Tu Mingjun got the benefits from Yuanchun here, as long as he didn't want to embarrass himself, he could only continue to trouble Yuanchun again and again, even if he wanted to change someone.

This made Yuan Chun feel at ease.

Looking at Tu Ming's thoughtful expression, Yuan Chun had his own calculations in his mind, but he still showed a careless look on his face, chewing the things in his mouth leisurely, and drinking a sip of tea from time to time to smooth things out. Shun, and then put another piece in when the food is about to be swallowed, making a greedy look.

When Tu Mingxuan came back to his senses, Yuan Chun had already finished two servings of snacks, and even the third serving had already been settled for more than half, and the eunuch serving meals beside him was just getting the fourth serving from the dining room present.

Really good appetite.

Seeing Yuan Chun staring at the plate and not forgetting to chew something in his mouth, Tu Mingxun didn't know what to say.

"There is no small kitchen in Fengzao Palace. Apart from three regular meals a day, there are no other snacks. If you want some soup, you can find it by yourself with a small stove for boiling medicine." It is made in one place, but if you want something more exquisite, you have to trouble the dining room, and you have to find someone to bring it back from a long distance. There are many people around me, but not every concubine dares to believe it. You should be more careful at the entrance, and it's not good to bother the dining room every day, so you can't take advantage of it when the saint comes up." Yuan Chun swallowed what was in his mouth, although his face was still a little embarrassed, But the excuse was straightforward, "The masters in the palace are also divided into three, six, and nine ranks. Those who can present to the Holy Majesty must be the best things, and they will save the trouble of my own manpower. If the concubine does not take advantage, she will suffer."

Although Yuanchun has a lot of people here, Yuanchun, who is involved in eating and drinking, only cares about the few around him. The little maids and eunuchs outside are like eunuchs. Before he finds out who the master behind them is, Yuanchun dare not Let them touch something important.

Regarding his own suspicions in various aspects, Yuan Chun did not shy away from this idiot, always expressing his taboos clearly.After all, she was able to live safely in the palace for ten years before. These precautions are also an unwritten agreement in the Taishang Palace. Although no one said it clearly, it always makes sense.

Because Tu Ming had inserted many people into Fengzao Palace, and most of these people Yuan Chun didn't know each other, and couldn't find out the history, so naturally he couldn't trust him.Therefore, although there are quite a lot of people in Fengzao Palace, there are not many people who can reassure Yuanchun by walking around, and it seems that there is a shortage of people.

Because of the manpower placed beside Yuan Chun, Tu Mingxun knew about Yuan Chun's situation here, and after hearing what she said, he didn't feel that there was anything wrong in his heart.

Although he is not good at intrigue between women, after all, Concubine Li lived cautiously in her early years, and he knew by ear that there is nothing wrong with being careful.Half of the people around Yuanchun are his people, so there is no need for him to be suspicious of Yuanchun.

But looking at Yuan Chun like this now, she feels more and more frank and natural.

----split line----

After spending more than an hour here in Yuanchun, Tu Mingjun asked the eunuch next to him to hold the booklet and went straight to the Supreme Emperor to take root and humbly ask for advice.

Yuanchun ate too much snacks here in the middle of the afternoon, but he was a little overwhelmed. He just held a pot of strong tea and leaned on the kang in a daze. He didn't even recover from the dinner. When I was full, I simply gave the rest of the dishes to the people around me.

What she said in front of Tu Mingjun today was also something she had thought about long ago.

Tu Mingxuan's ranking was low, and he was not a popular candidate for the throne in his early years, so the throne is a piece of cake from the sky. Not only did he have many brothers who were not convinced, but he himself was also unavoidably guilty.

But Yuan Chun looked at him coldly. Although the Supreme Emperor chose him because there was no other choice, it may not be without two sincerities.

After all, the imperial decree to confer Li Bin as empress was issued by the Supreme Emperor.

Originally, Tu Mingjun was just the son of a low-ranking concubine, who didn't show off mountains or dew and didn't touch anything, but under the emperor's imperial decree, he became the son of a successor.

Calculated in this way, even if the Supreme Emperor did not abdicate at the beginning, Tu Mingzhen was also the real first heir, so there is nothing to be ashamed of.

As for those princes who are not willing to die, there are always those who are willing to live a stable life, and the method of pulling one and hitting one is applicable everywhere.

It's just that this involves the clan prince, but it is a matter of the previous dynasty.When Yuan Chun was free in the past few days, he thought about what he had said before. After all, he was a little timid, so this time he didn't dare to say it too clearly as before, lest he would arouse taboos in the future.So after thinking about it, I had no choice but to take advantage of the meeting of the aunts and concubines to order the broadcast slowly, because I was afraid that Tu Mingjun would ask other questions, so I simply pretended to eat and occupy my mouth, so as to save more words and more mistakes.
