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

Chapter 60

Yuan Chun didn't care what he said, but there was a flash in Tu Mingjun's eyes.

From the very beginning until now, Yuan Chun has acted extremely sensible, never fighting or grabbing, and never making any demands, on the contrary, it seemed extraordinarily unreal.

Especially since he's been sending out a lot of errand positions recently under the pillow wind of others.

It can't be blamed on Tu Ming's soft ears. In fact, he doesn't have many people who can use him, so he has to point to the natal families of these concubines to contribute.

"You are sensible." Tu Mingxun didn't know what he was thinking in his heart, so he could only sigh like this.

When Yuan Chun heard this, he couldn't hide his joy, and his eyebrows and eyes were curved with a smile: "Since the Holy Majesty has praised him so much, I will accept it with gratitude."

In fact, Yuan Chun was indeed much more sensible than other concubines, but the queen and Yuan Chun were inevitably inferior in comparison.

After hearing Yuan Chun's words, Tu Mingxun's eyes darkened slightly, and he didn't know what he was thinking.

However, Yuan Chun was used to being cautious, and he didn't want to look too strange. Although he was praised by Tu Mingjun, he couldn't help but find some other reasons for himself.

"I also watched a lot when I was with the Queen Mother. This is the kindness I begged for my father and brother. If the family members do not have the ability to correspond, it will not work. It would be more affordable to leave this kindness for later." Yuan Chun After thinking about it, I explained my behavior, "And my concubine only started to get along with the Holy One in her 20s. Although she is still a newcomer in front of the Holy One, she is actually not young, and she has passed the age of self-willedness. The Holy Majesty only compares the concubine with the sisters in the palace who are five and ten years younger than the concubine, so naturally the concubine is more sensible, otherwise, wouldn’t all these years have been wasted?”

To some extent, age is Yuanchun's best excuse.

"If my concubine's brother has passed the test one day, no matter how sensible the concubine is, he has to mention it on the premise. Although Yijia dare not speak, but if the concubine is determined to ask It’s really lacking, but there’s always something decent about it.” In fact, it’s not that Yuan Chun is thinking about being sensible or not, it’s that Yuan Chun knows that many people in his family can’t support him, so he doesn’t want to say this, “But The problem now is that there is no one who can make a concubine stretch out this hand, the sage just wants to think, no matter how shameless the concubine is, she can't ask the sage to give a white Ding Jinshi fame for nothing."

Yuan Chun quietly changed the concept, speaking very naturally.

"The concubine just doesn't care about the story of the previous court. The left and right concubines usually don't listen and don't want to talk too much, but they are afraid of causing trouble. When the concubine's natal siblings grow up in the future, when the concubine will become ignorant, today's I beg the Holy One to give my concubine brothers a perfect marriage. Tomorrow, I want the Holy One to choose a husband with a bright future for my concubine sister. At that time, the Holy Majesty only sees the concubine's sensible appearance now, so there is still no confidence to reject the concubine. A small request." Yuan Chun's narrow smile appeared more lively.

This is not an excuse Yuan Chun randomly made up, in fact, Yuan Chun had this idea from the very beginning.

Baoyu didn't like official career in his heart, even if he was forced to enter the court, probably at most he would repeat the same mistakes and spend his whole life in a small official position like his father, what's the use.

Instead of this, it is better to use my current face to find a marriage for Baoyu in front of the Holy One that can protect him for the rest of his life once and for all.

But Yuan Chun's calculations in front of Tu Mingxuan seemed to be much more sensible than others.

At the very least, Tu Mingxuan was moved without knowing the details of Rongguo Mansion.

"When my concubine's father was young, he got his grandfather's bequest and became an official title. He was a member of the fifth rank in the Ministry of Industry. At that time, the concubine was still a milk baby. In a blink of an eye, 20 years have passed, and he is still from the fifth rank. , it can be seen that this person's talent and future are doomed in the first place, and it is useless to force him." With such a bad example in the family, Yuan Chun couldn't help but think about it.

Even when Tu Mingxuan was just an empty-headed prince, he would not pay attention to the junior officials from the fifth rank. Hearing Yuan Chun's words now, he couldn't help but feel a little surprised.

If you are a child of a poor family, let alone a fifth-rank official who has been in the position for 20 years, it is not surprising if you have no ambitions and are seven or eighth-rank sesame officials all your life. People like Zheng are still unheard of.

From the perspective of the position of the fifth rank, it does not sound high, but if you look at it as a starting point for a person's officialdom, it is not low - the number one scholar in the previous scientific examinations was only edited from the fifth rank's Hanlin Academy.

But Jia Zheng was able to be the son of the Duke's Mansion, and he worked in the position of fifth rank for 20 years.

You know, in the first 20 years, the Supreme Emperor was in charge of the family. As the second son of Jia Daishan, his confidant, it is rare for Jia Zheng to be able to mix like this.

"If someone is really capable, he will naturally be able to stand out with his own ability. The left and right concubines stand in the palace well, even if they don't say anything, it is their reliance. If they are not capable, the concubine doesn't want to lose face for them. ——As long as people have selfishness, they can form a decent marriage to bless them, and it won’t be too late to wait until the younger generation is educated.” Yuan Chun sees these things clearly, and doesn’t want to hide it from anyone.

As a girl in Rongguo Mansion, Yuan Chun dare not say that she has no selfishness.But as a concubine, Yuan Chun knew that Tu Mingjun preferred women who were frank and selfless.

So apart from some unspeakable calculations, Yuan Chun loves to use scheming, and is very open and frank.

This is the long-term solution.

----split line----

In the eyes of concubines in the harem, Yuan Chun was really unusual.

The concubines in the harem don't focus on men and children. Pian Yuanchun doesn't value favors, nor is he in a hurry to have children. Instead, he runs to the queen mother every day.

If Yuan Chun was trying to use the Queen Mother to put pressure on the Holy Majesty, it would be fine, but everyone knows that the current Queen Mother is just a high-end decoration, and she has the title of the main wife, so she can't control the people in the Empress Dowager's palace. Things, and she didn't want to interfere in Tu Mingjun's harem, even if the queen said she wanted to go to her to greet her, she refused, and she really didn't have a high sense of existence in the harem.

Pian Yuanchun ran very diligently.

Except for going back to the Queen Mother once every five days to pay her respects, basically in the remaining four days, she could go to the Queen Mother's place three times according to the time of greetings, rain or shine.

Even if the queen mother is not in good spirits and cannot see her, she can always chat with the maids and nuns around the queen mother for a while.Now that she lives with Princess Zhen with the Queen Mother, she is not shy at all and looks very attentive.

It's not that no one made sarcastic remarks about Yuan Chun, but no one dared to make irresponsible remarks in front of Yuan Chun.

Although Yuan Chun didn't have many days to serve her bed, she was very respectable in front of the master of the harem and could not be easily offended.

Not only did the empress willingly distribute half of the palace affairs, but she also wholeheartedly stood by Yuanchun's side.Not to mention the Empress Dowager, I am afraid that even the Empress may not be as respectable in front of the Empress Dowager as Yuan Chun.On the other side, although the Holy One doesn't often turn over Yuanchun's brand, he gets Fengzao Palace to rest almost every day.

In this way, it is really not wise to offend Concubine Xian, and more importantly, Yuan Chun has no children under her knees, so compared with Concubine Wu who was diagnosed with pregnancy, the attention is undoubtedly lower.

Now there are three people at the top of the concubine, Yuan Chun is the only one with a title, she looks more decent than the others - but she has nothing under her knees.Now that the two positions of imperial concubine are vacant, if Concubine Wu can advance further with her pregnancy, she may not be able to climb to the top of Yuan Chun's head.

Even if you don't concubine, and only look at the credit for the birth of the offspring, you have to give it a title anyway, plus the offspring under your knees in the future, it will always be more decent than Yuanchun.

While the concubine was apprehensive, she might not have no intention of watching Yuan Chun's jokes.

But Yuan Chun really didn't care, he didn't pay attention except to give him a gift with Daliu, but he still went out every day.

"I'm not young, so I may not be able to have this kind of blessing. I don't have to be jealous. I have stayed in the palace for a few years, and some things are clear to the bystanders. If you want to poke the princess's scar, this gentleman will come out." It may not be a blessing, the Holy Majesty is still young." Facing Princess Hezhen's concern, Yuan Chun himself didn't care.

These words are indeed suspected of poking someone's scars, after all, the old prince Yizhong suffered a loss at the beginning when he was born too early.

"The Zhen family was in power at the beginning, otherwise they wouldn't be able to do so many things. My mother's family couldn't support it, but I just kept them safe. I don't want to worry about the rest. Counting my age, I am older It’s still older, and there are not many people in my mother’s family who live long, so I guess they will definitely walk ahead of the Holy One, so there is no need to raise children to guard against old age.” Yuan Chun was frank and frank, not hiding his thoughts at all, “I just want Living in this palace, you don’t need to do anything to be safe and secure. As long as you stand here, you will naturally be able to protect your mother’s family. There is no need to intrigue and think about going up. I am already a concubine now, and I will not be able to do it in the future. When I die, even Shi En has to be given the posthumous title of imperial concubine, which is also decent. As for my natal family, that’s all when I’m alive, I’ll just watch from left to right, and when I’m gone, no one cares about the flood.”

On weekdays, Yuan Chun seldom took the piano with her when she went out. Most of the time, Mo Xiang and Le'er took turns to accompany her. This time, it was Le'er who followed her.

Most of the people who served on Princess Zuohezhen's side were sent by the Queen Mother or Tu Mingjun, and it was probably impossible to hide it. Yuan Chun saw it clearly, so naturally he would not do anything shady.

It looks so frank and cute.
