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

Chapter 48

Fortunately, Yang Guiren is not stupid enough, and he also knows that the persimmons should be picked up softly and start to be pinched. At first, it was just to meet some unfavorable nobles and beauties. After finding out that there was no problem, he began to try and plan to toss and toss the concubine. of.

Two days ago, she just tossed Concubine Wen a little bit. Although Tu Mingjun reprimanded Concubine Wen afterwards and made some compensations to Concubine Wen, in the end it was considered a slap in the face of Concubine Wen.

In the blink of an eye, Yuan Chun slapped Yang Guiren in the face.

It's not that Yuan Chun and Wen Bin have any friendship, it's just a coincidence.

Today Yang Guiren can slap Concubine Wen in the face regardless of his superiority or inferiority, who knows what kind of moth will happen next time, right and left just happened to collide with the matter of Concubine Zhen, Yuan Chun simply pushed the boat along.

It can be regarded as a favor to Concubine Wen.

Wen's family was originally not dependent on any side, and this Concubine Wen's father was also a discerning man, and after Tu Mingxuan ascended the throne, he secretly moved closer to him, and this time the draft even gave away the only girl in the family. Come in, it can be regarded as a contribution to the dragon.

This concubine Wen is not a scheming person, although she is not considered to be favored, but her life in the future will not be bad, and she is indeed a person worth befriending.

At least it's better than this Yang Guiren.

Although Yuan Chun said this to De Concubine, his eyes were on Yang Guiren who was standing behind De Concubine.

Although it is the duty of a concubine to greet the queen, but there is limited space in the queen's palace, and it is impossible for everyone to come.Originally, there were not many people in the harem, but now the population in the palace is increasing day by day, and new rules have to be changed, so in order to set the rules, only concubines and above are allowed to sleep with these few days people can come.

Although Yang Guiren said that the seat is not enough, but he served Tu Mingjun two days ago, he was able to come, but there is still no seat, so he can only stand behind the concubine De.

Just in time for Yuanchun to choke.

Yuan Chun's words were quite harsh, first he pretended not to understand De Concubine's voice-over, then he compared De Concubine with the people who served him, and then he directly pointed out the indignity of the people in De Concubine's palace. Three birds, very hot.

After all, De concubine is young, and she is a concubine with shallow eyesight, otherwise she would not be able to fight Yuan Chun for the sake of gaining breath.

Then Yuan Chun stopped him with a single sentence.

"Sister Gao, let's listen to what my sister said. After all, my sister is an old man. She has seen a lot and experienced a lot. There are other things in the palace. It's not easy to mess up the seniority and seniority. Don't blame your sister for not giving you face, but it's just one position short, who knows what will happen in the future. Although you stand out for others, but I am not a soft persimmon, I can't let you step on me to climb up, if If you want to embarrass me, you should talk about it when you are in the imperial concubine position." Yuan Chun's words were meaningful, but the eyes had not moved away from Yang Guiren, and the meaning in the words was quite intriguing.

It is true that Yuan Chun and De Concubine are only one place apart, but it is true that De Concubine and Yang Guiren are only one place apart. Although Yuan Chun's words are clearly referring to De Concubine, who knows if there is any in the voiceover? mean something else.

At least everyone in the palace is good at listening to voice-overs. When Yuan Chun said this, Debi's face immediately changed a little.

It's hard to say whether Concubine De was slapped in the face of Yuan Chun, but Concubine Wen was actually slapped once by Yang Guiren before.

Although the sixth concubine's position is full now, no one will easily take the people below him lightly.

On the other hand, Yuan Chun took a sip of tea happily after pulling the attention of the people below, and stopped participating.

When greeting the Empress, there is never a shortage of tea and snacks here, but the newcomers are very wary and restrained, and they never touch these things, so only Yuan Chun and Concubine Shu, who have never seen each other, are paying their respects. Eat and drink from time to time, and don't be wary of anything.

----split line----

After Yuanchun drank a cup of new tea and ate another snack, the queen finally arrived late.

The queen never liked to chat with her concubines, and she could only chat with her in Yuanchun, so in order to avoid embarrassing situations, she simply showed up later every day.

Because the Supreme Emperor is still alive, the Supreme Emperor's concubines are much more arrogant than those of the previous dynasty, so in order to avoid trouble, the Empress Dowager simply did not ask the Empress to bring someone to pay her respects, and just pretended to be indifferent.

So the queen is not worried about what will be delayed someday.

Because she had been a female official in the palace for a long time before, Yuan Chun had developed a good habit of watching all directions and listening to all directions, so when the queen appeared, she was the first to stand up and salute.

It seems to be more respectful than other concubines.

Although the empress appeared later, there were always people around the empress serving in this palace, and the empress was not unaware of Yuan Chun's confrontation with De concubine before.

After thinking about it in my heart, compared with the good-born, young and beautiful concubine De, the queen is naturally more towards Yuanchun.

So he immediately ignored Debi's face and continued to talk to Yuanchun.

He even said a few words to Wen Bin specially, which can be considered as a way to appease the other party's grievances before.

Yuan Chun smiled gracefully and generously as always, and Concubine Wen also had a look of sincerity and fear.That's all for Depin, but Yang Guiren's face became much uglier.

But now the people who appear here don't need Yang Guiren to be high-ranking and senior-qualified, and no one cares about Yang Guiren.

----split line----

There are many people, right and wrong, which is particularly obvious in the harem.

Originally, when there were not many people in the harem, everything was pretty peaceful, but now there are only a dozen newcomers, so there are more intrigues for no reason.

Although I choked Yang Guiren with his position and rank today, but to be honest, the rank and rank in the harem are actually far less valuable than what Yuan Chun said.

"De Concubine's life is probably not easy. At that time, for the sake of convenience, it was a separate palace, and the girls who were selected this time were put in De Concubine's place. There is no old man in their palace. The rules seem to be newer. Not to mention, the empress empress recently told her concubine that many people want to go to their side recently, in order to make money in the palace." And since the competitors If there are too many, then those who can enter naturally are those with some background ability. This is the main reason why their palace has been in the limelight recently. "There may not be those nobles and beauties in Debi's family who are well-off."

Even if Concubine De has entered the palace, she is also a concubine's daughter after all, and she is not the only daughter in the family. There is also a concubine's younger sister under the aunt's knees, so it is impossible to treat her very well, and she may not be worthy in terms of money. People are well off.

"Money can turn ghosts around. Those nobles are willing to contribute money, and the people at the bottom are naturally willing to contribute. Today, everyone who sees Yang Guiren's things are of the highest quality, let alone De Concubine, it is Shu Concubine Concubine An might not even be able to compare." Concubine An gave birth to the eldest son of the emperor, and she is also the only prince in the palace now, even if she doesn't have a lot of money, naturally there are many people who are willing to give her convenience.Although Concubine Shu's family background is not obvious, and she only gave birth to an imperial concubine, she was the No.Even these two people are not as rich as Yang Guiren, so it can be seen that Yang Guiren is indeed very rich.

Because of the emptiness of the national treasury, Tu Mingjun has always been more sensitive to money recently. Hearing what Yuan Chun said, he couldn't help but diverge his thoughts again.

"I remember that Yang Guiren's background doesn't seem to be high?" The concubine and concubine positions were all carefully selected by Tu Mingjun, but the nobles are first-rate, although they can see the background, but most of them just value the girl's hand. Liang Tiaoshun doesn't pay much attention to her origin.

"Tang is a concubine from a family of fourth or fifth grade." Yuan Chun knew it, but he didn't want to leave an impression in front of Tu Mingjun that he cared about the affairs of the previous court, so he said it vaguely, "Although girls from official families can be drafted , but forget it for the Beijing officials. Among the foreign officials, there are fewer people of the seventh and eighth grades who can enter the palace. And if they are too high, they cannot be put under the hands of Concubine De. The palace of Concubine Zhou and Concubine Wu is not too full. Knowing that although De Concubine is a girl from a second-rank family, she is a concubine after all, and she is not as confident as a concubine."

If the family is in the capital, it is enough to participate in the draft, and the left and right parents and brothers are all around, and at most it is less than a month away from home, and even if they lose the election, there is no delay in talking about getting married.But if it is a foreign official, it would take at least a year to go back and forth with the current traffic conditions, and the selection time is much stricter than in the capital.

If it weren't for the girl's excellent aptitude, she is too outstanding in all aspects, whoever can be selected by someone with a higher official position, and whoever is in the seventh or eighth rank.

What Yuan Chun said was vague, but it was enough for Mingjun to think about it.

The rules in the palace are different from those outside the palace. Tu Mingjun doesn't understand the twists and turns of concubines and concubines outside the palace. He only knows that De concubine and Yang Guiren are both daughters of concubines, and De concubine is the daughter of a second-rank military general—— Military generals have always been richer than civilian officials, and Yang Guiren's father was just a fourth-rank official who passed the imperial examination, but Yang Guiren seemed to be much richer than the German concubine in everything.

Although Jiangnan has always been rich and powerful, such a stark contrast inevitably seems a little strange, but it caught his attention.

On the contrary, Yuan Chun knew it well and didn't take it seriously.

"The only difference is whether or not her natal family is willing to support her. De Concubine has a sister-in-law who will be able to participate in the draft in the future, so she may not be able to get all the support from her family before De Concubine really brings benefits to her natal family. And Yang Guiren came from a noble family. Not high, it may not be able to send another girl into the palace, so it will naturally appear that she is precious."

"Besides, Debi's family's official position is not low, and she may not really point to the benefits that the girl in the family can bring after entering the palace, so naturally she doesn't care about it. On Yang Guiren's side, her mother's family may find it difficult to stand up. Yes, as long as she is favored, she can help her natal family, so her natal family will naturally be more active." Yuan Chun thought for a while, and finally added, "It's like a concubine's natal grandfather begged the Supreme Emperor back then. Exempted from the selection, but the concubine has to participate in the draft, just like trying to find a good marriage."

In front of Tu Mingxuan, Yuan Chun never concealed the idea that he entered the palace to fight for wealth and honor, even now he didn't feel any embarrassment, on the contrary, he said it openly and clearly, which made him more able to fight. Get the other party's favor.
