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

Yuan Chun now knows what it means to lift a rock and shoot yourself in the foot.

Although she has always consciously wanted to portray herself as a simple but intelligent and virtuous wife in the eyes of the emperor and empress, so as to increase her own weight.But it doesn't mean that she intends to take all the difficult things on herself.

But this time things are undoubtedly very difficult.

It's just that there are advantages and disadvantages in everything. Since she created such an image before, she can only take the trouble on her body now.

"Uh... the concubine is not very clear about it, but other people are fine. Naturally, there is no need for mercy on Liu Meiren's side. Simply deal with it more severely, which means to kill chickens and monkeys. As for Sister Wu and Sister Zhou, since If you have a body, then take good care of it. Don't be in a hurry to deal with it for a while, and the two younger sisters are also concubines. Although the concubine has more titles than the younger sisters, they are still equal in the end, but it is not easy to speak Deal with them. Your majesty might as well ask the empress dowager, after all, the empress dowager has more knowledge, and the little prince is also the grandson of the empress, so it is always more fair than the concubine's idea." Yuan Chun didn't want to be plain Take responsibility for yourself, and this matter is obviously not suitable for the empress to deal with, so after thinking about it, I only evaded the most important and lightly said the place that is least likely to offend others, and directly handed over the rest to the empress dowager, "As for The concubine’s knowledge of the former court is even shallower, so I can only trouble the Holy One to think up his own ideas. Or if it’s really not possible, it’s probably okay to ask the Supreme Emperor.”

Compared with the empress being in the harem, it is most fair to leave it to the queen mother, an outsider, even Tu Mingxuan can't say anything wrong.As for the affairs of the previous dynasty, if you want to shirk responsibility, it is obvious that leaving it to the Supreme Emperor is the least likely to cause trouble.

"The Holy Majesty is naturally familiar with the Empress Dowager's place. I don't need to say anything more, but if the Holy Majesty wants to go to the Supreme Emperor's place, I might as well run errands for my concubine. Brother Huai is still at the Supreme Emperor's place, so the Holy Majesty might as well." By the way, I will pick him up and save my concubine from having to make another trip." In the end, the Supreme Emperor is considered a father-in-law, and it is fine for Yuan Chun, the daughter-in-law, to go to the Queen Mother, the mother-in-law, but it is not convenient. He went to the father-in-law's residence for no reason.

After all, he is the only son of the old prince Yizhong. If the Supreme Emperor takes the initiative to think of sending Tu Jinghuai back, he doesn't know when it will be.And if you go to ask for it by yourself, firstly, it is disrespectful, and secondly, it is because it is not convenient for you to go to the residence of the Supreme Emperor after all.Thinking of this, Yuan Chun planned to use Tu Mingjun completely without any burden.

In fact, this is not a useless use. After all, Yuan Chun thinks that this is still a suitable excuse for Tu Mingjun.

Anyway, people always have to deal with it, and this time it's not a trivial matter, but to be honest, eating is not a big deal.To be serious, that is the only little prince of the Holy Majesty so far, so naturally it is very precious.But the little prince’s family background is not considered high, and he was born prematurely. The imperial physician has already asserted that the little prince is congenitally deficient. Therefore, it is impossible for this son to live to adulthood. You should be mentally prepared.

It's just that when it comes to the matter of the emperor's heir, if it is dealt with lightly, it seems that the deterrent effect is not enough, but if it is dealt with harshly, but you are worried that the veterans will be dissatisfied, this is a dilemma.But if it is said that he made a trip to the Supreme Emperor beforehand, it would be different.There is a premise of obeying the emperor's will, if the final treatment is still lenient, it is naturally the grace of the emperor, and if someone thinks it is harsh, just throw the pot on the emperor.

Yuan Chun is a master at seeking advantages and avoiding disadvantages, at least his ability to shirk responsibility is unmatched.

But now it is obvious that Yuan Chun is also cultivating Tu Mingjun's ability in this area intentionally or unintentionally.

--split line--

Probably because of the so-called self-esteem, in short, this time Tu Mingjun didn't bother the Queen Mother.He didn't even want to go to the Supreme Emperor at first, but after all he promised Yuan Chun that he would take Tu Jinghuai back, he made a special trip to the Supreme Emperor's palace after all.Then the job of reprimanding foreign ministers was taken over by the Supreme Emperor.

As for Concubine Zhou and Concubine Wu, it's not a big problem if they haven't decided what to do with them for a while.In the final analysis, no matter how good their backgrounds are, they are now concubines in the harem. As long as they offend the higher-ups, there is no need for a reason, but they can still do it if they are temporarily cold.

As a result, the only concubine in the palace who had a body was temporarily grounded in her own palace for the reason of raising a fetus-no matter for the queen or Tu Mingxuan, it would be difficult for the imperial doctors to give a conclusion that the fetal breath was unstable It's not difficult.Of course, as for Liu Meiren, there is no need to worry too much.In fact, although the matter of mutilating the emperor's heir cannot be said, a low-level concubine who has no birth, no love and no heirs is not worth the trouble of the masters, so the news that the head of the palace knows is only because of the seasonal changes. After the epidemic, he was confined in the palace.Of course, it is conceivable that Liu Meiren will die soon.

But anyway, this has nothing to do with Yuanchun.She is now No. 1 under the queen in the harem. Except for Wu Zhou, it is estimated that no one will have the hope of climbing on top of her for a long time.And these two people have been rejected by the Holy One now, so there is nothing to fear.As for Meiren Liu's humble background, to put it bluntly, Yuan Chun never cared about Meiren Liu's life or death from the beginning to the end.

Then the matter was suppressed like this.

Of course, Yuan Chun still told the queen here, begging the queen to reveal some truth to Concubine An.After all, if she kept everything from her, maybe in the future, under someone's instigation, Concubine An would target Yuan Chun.This is what Yuan Chun does not want to see.

The queen and Yuan Chun usually get along well, and more importantly, Yuan Chun is old and childless, and he doesn't have much ambition. At this time, he just wants to be wise and protect himself.The queen is naturally willing to give Yuan Chun this face.On the other side, Tu Mingxuan, although he didn't want to reveal too much of the truth, after knowing it, he didn't express any dissatisfaction with Yuan Chun's actions.

The Taishanghuang's handling was also very simple. He just asked Tu Mingjun to call the heads of the Zhou family and the Wu family over, and then told the two heads of the matter with a cold face.

A Shangshu is the official title of the first rank, and the right servant is the first rank. No one who can achieve this official position is an idiot. He knows the elegance when he hears the stringed songs. Anyone can hear the voice of the masters above. The old ministers who are not young are dripping with cold sweat.

To put it seriously, the crime of mutilating the emperor's heir is no different from treason. If the superiors are really determined to deal with them, this crime alone is enough to put their whole family in ruins.

"When I get old, I will inevitably feel soft-hearted towards the elderly, but the Holy One is still young and vigorous. This time...he is his eldest son again. Even if I have the heart to protect you, don't overdo it." Yuan Chun taught disciples The Supreme Emperor has also heard the truth of Jing Huai's stories.Although he is inevitably soft-hearted as he gets old, and he is not lacking in conceit on weekdays, but in the end he also understands the truth in his heart that one emperor and one courtier.

It would be fine if no one reminded him on weekdays, but after Yuan Chun said the same words in front of Tu Jinghuai day after day, and then passed them to his ears, he was inspired after all.

He can indeed protect all the old people wishfully now, even as long as he is alive, no matter how dissatisfied he is, his filial piety will prevent him from taking action.But he is already over sixty years old, and he is also the age of great-great-grandchildren, but Tu Mingjun is still young.No matter what, Tu Mingjun can always live longer than his old father.If when he was alive, those old people relied too much on his face, and when he one day the mountains collapsed, even in the first three years, Tu Minghao would still be hindered by the rule of not changing his father's way during the filial piety period. Some peace, and one day he will still take action against those people.

That being the case, why not help the new emperor restrain these people while he is still there, lest they cause even greater disasters.

As for the abolition of the emperor... I'm sorry, the Supreme Emperor has never thought about this. Although he really doesn't care much about the son of Tu Mingxuan, he always cares about the grandson of Tu Jinghuai, and even more about the family's family. world.

So for a while, the Supreme Emperor would rather choose to play the black face himself.

It was Tu Mingjun's harem concubine who did the wrong thing on the female side, and it was not easy for the Supreme Emperor to intervene as a father-in-law.But the Supreme Emperor of the previous dynasty took advantage of this incident to find an excuse to severely reprimand the two families.Although the positions of the Patriarchs of the two families were not changed, the collateral descendants of the two families suffered heavy losses.

Tu Mingjun was also quite satisfied with this.

In the end, he doesn't have many trustworthy people in his hands. At this moment, the positions of the two ministers and the right servant are vacant, and no one in his hands can secure this position. In the end, he still doesn't know Which one is cheaper.It might as well be that most of the vacant positions are middle and low-level officials at this moment. Although he also has to take into account the face of the Supreme Emperor, he can also get some benefits from it.

And in this turmoil, the Rongguo Mansion also took advantage of Yuan Chun's face.
