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

Although he already had two healthy sons, considering the reason of his eldest son's death, to be honest, Tu Mingjun didn't show much affection for these two newborn sons.It can be said that what he loves to tease the most these days are his two concubines, as well as Tu Jinghuai, Prince Yizhong who was raised by Yuan Chun's side.

"This is a child who knows how to be grateful." This is what Yuan Chun told Tu Mingxun.

Children who know how to be grateful will be loved at any time.

Mo Xiang was originally the person who was arranged by Tu Mingxuan, and now that she is by Tu Jinghuai's side, she will naturally tell him about Tu Jinghuai's speech and behavior. Tu Mingxuan naturally understands Yuanchun's meaning.

"Although I may not be able to have my own child in this life, I always appreciate Brother Huai's kindness." Regarding the fact that he might not be able to have children, Yuan Chun has always been very frank, without any complaints.

You know, when Tu Mingjun didn't trust Chun at the beginning, he secretly placed a lot of people in Fengzao Palace. As well as several second-class maids, they were all secretly inserted by him.

Although it is obvious that Yuanchun still trusts Baoqin, the girl brought in from her mother's house, Tu Mingjun's people have the upper hand in numbers, and they serve Yuanchun often.Yuan Chun's every word and deed, every action, basically can't be hidden from Tu Mingjun's control at all.

Fortunately, Yuan Chun has always been cautious and lonely. Even when Baoqin is the only person around him, he will not fully confide in his thoughts. In this way, he actually created a heart-to-heart in Tu Mingxuan's heart. The image of the scenery Jiyue.

So for Yuan Chun, Tu Mingxun was willing to trust him from the bottom of his heart.

----split line----

Concubine Wu and Concubine Zhou had meritorious service in childbearing, and as a rule, they should be promoted and divided, but because of the matter of the eldest son of the emperor, Tu Mingjun didn't like these two people very much from the bottom of his heart.Secondly, it was also the reason why she felt sorry for Yuan Chun, so she took the example of Concubine An and Concubine Jiang to forcefully refute the imperial censor's request for the birth mother of the second and third princes in the previous dynasty.

Although it is said that the former dynasty and the rear palace have their own systems, but to be honest, if the Zhou family and the Wu family did not intervene in this matter, they would have seen hell. Therefore, not long after the court came down, the two of Zhou and Wu got the news later.

It was never easy to say anything about royal heirs. At the beginning, Concubine Jiang deliberately induced people to instigate Concubine An, which caused Concubine An to give birth prematurely, making the eldest son of the emperor born weak.An Bin just mentioned it casually, so it can be regarded as no reward or punishment.Although Concubine Jiang was reprimanded, she was demoted on the pretext of being impolite in front of the imperial court, and did not mention the murder of the emperor's heir from the beginning to the end.So it seems very reasonable to figure it out clearly.

Concubine An gave birth to the eldest son of the emperor, but apart from receiving some rewards at that time, it was the empress' kindness that raised her daily expenses to the position of concubine, but her own status did not change at all .On the other hand, Concubine Jiang had a difficult birth and gave birth to the second concubine. Although it seemed that the concubine was mentioned directly from the status of talent, it seemed to mean that she was promoted to three levels in a row, but you must know that if you really count carefully, this concubine It was a posthumous title rather than a title, not to mention, she was already in the position of concubine before Concubine Jiang became pregnant, and she even had a title of Empress Yi in the Holy Harem.

Before Concubine Wu and Concubine Zhou gave birth to two princes, all the children of Tu Mingjun were no more than three.The Empress Dowager was born before Tu Mingxuan came to the throne, and the Empress Dowager Jian's mother was the concubine as soon as she entered the palace. Although there must be reasons for her meritorious service in childbearing, it was not a clear will after all.As for the last two, they didn't get the slightest benefit from childbearing.

Even if Concubine An gave birth to the eldest son of the emperor, she failed to advance to the position, so why should Concubine Wu and Concubine Zhou be eligible to be promoted to the position due to her meritorious service in childbearing?

Tu Mingxuan dared to reject the censor's papers when he was in power, but the heads of the two families who were supposed to stand up for their own daughters, because they already knew what their daughters did in the harem, in the eyes of Tumingxuan who seemed to be smiling but not smiling , After all, he didn't dare to speak.

At the beginning, because of the premature birth of the eldest son of the emperor, Concubine Yi Jiang was beaten to the end, and Concubine An was not promoted even if she had meritorious birth.At that time, the eldest son of the emperor was only weak, but now that their daughter is involved in the matter of the eldest son's early death, how could they have the face to ask for their daughter's place.

The patriarchs of the two families are veterans in the officialdom, so they are naturally aware of the twists and turns, so they are silent at the moment, as if this matter has nothing to do with them.

But just because they can hold their breath doesn't mean their daughter can hold their breath too.In fact, after getting the news from the previous dynasty, a batch of porcelain was damaged in the palace of Zhou and Wu.

You know, the two of them were born tall, and their status is not low. Before, they were both physically fit and used to extravagance since they were young, so even if their feet were banned before, the things they used in the palace were The top, no one will deprive them of anything.In a fit of anger, many precious porcelain ornaments were smashed to pieces, and it would cost a lot of money to make up for it.Seeing the headache, the queen thought about the fact that the children of her left and right had been born, so she didn't want to spoil them anymore, so she simply sent the list handed over by the House of Internal Affairs to Tu Mingjun.

You must know that whether it is the queen mother or Tu Mingjun, life has not been easy in the past many years.Although life is indeed richer than before, but inside is still frugal temperament.

If it's just daily expenses, it's fine, like Yuanchun's utensils and furnishings are not cheap, and if there are occasional wear and tear, it's common sense, even the booklet doesn't need to be handed over, Tu Mingxuan doesn't take it seriously.But if they were like Zhou and Wu, they would cost a lot if they were worn out, and everything was expensive, so Tu Mingxuan couldn't help but feel distressed.

Originally, he thought that this matter would stop here, but this time he suddenly saw this book, which made Tu Mingxuan think about it again.

"Concubine Xian is getting older, and she is raising Prince Yizhong, and the son is willing to give her face." After discussing with the queen mother, Tu Mingxuan simply went to the emperor to ask for credit, "Although concubine Xian has not She has no heirs, but when she was young, she served her mother and empress. Now she has brought up Prince Yizhong very well, which is not a small contribution. Even in terms of seniority, she can be regarded as the best in the son's harem. And she usually She is also sensible, but she is different from other people, so my son might as well give her the status of imperial concubine."

After being his old minister, and raising the only remaining blood of his beloved son, the Supreme Emperor is naturally willing to have a good life for Yuanchun. Now that Tu Mingjun is willing to give Yuanchun promotion points, naturally there is no one who is unwilling.

So at the full moon banquet of the third prince, Tu Mingjun issued three orders in succession.The Wu family was named Concubine Ning, and the Zhou family was named Concubine Jing.

That's all, no matter how these two people also gave birth to a prince, although they don't have the grace to be promoted, it is not too much to give a title.

But the third decree is a bit unexpected - Concubine Xian Jia's noble concubine.

You must know that Yuan Chun has always been impatient with such scenes, and she has no friendship with the Zhou family, so this time the third prince's full moon banquet, she just sent someone a longevity lock according to the rules. He simply complained of illness and did not attend.

Although there were not many people in Tuming's harem compared to the Supreme Emperor, there were always about twenty people, big and small, plus the maids and eunuchs serving by everyone's side, the number of people coming was really not small.In this case, no one really cares if there is one more person or one less.

In addition to the previous full moon banquet for the second prince, Tu Mingjun did not show up because of the busy previous court, so this time Yuanchun could only be the queen's leave, and Tu Mingjun was not notified in advance. Ming Xun also had a temporary idea, so he didn't find out until the oral order was sent out that the person who received the order was not there.

This is bound to be a little embarrassing.

Who said that Yuan Chun had reported in advance? Strictly speaking, this time, Tu Mingjun is more responsible, but Tu Mingjun is the Ninth Five-Year Supreme, and it is impossible to make mistakes, so if the matter this time is real. , the only one who was severely criticized was Yuan Chun.

If it was someone else, it would probably be a loss, but if it was Yuan Chun, others would be fine, but the Empress is very willing to protect her for a while.

"Concubine Xian's body is a little uncomfortable. She told me earlier that today she will be too courteous for anyone. I haven't seen the Holy Majesty care about this before. It's my fault that I didn't tell the Holy Majesty about it. The left and right are also my own family." Sister, I will take this order for Concubine Xian's younger sister." The empress owed her body to plead Yuan Chun's crimes, and she also prepared steps for Tu Mingjun to go down.

You must know that although they are all concubines in the harem, the queen and the concubines are different. The queen can say the same thing, but others can't.

The empress had gotten along very well with Yuan Chun for many days, so she felt that it was logical to say something good for Yuan Chun this time, and she didn't find it strange, but shocked the others.

There is a person in Yuanchun who is loved and favored. Although she has no heirs, she is deeply loved by the emperor and queen mother. She sits firmly in the No. 1 position below the empress in the harem.

Although Yuan Chun and the Empress usually showed their sisterly love, no one would think that they were showing their true feelings. First, they felt that the Empress must be very guarded against Yuan Chun, and second, they felt that Yuan Chun might not covet the Queen's position.

But who knows that these two people really have a good relationship.

The relationship is even so good that the queen is willing to speak for Yuan Chun in this situation.

Everyone knew that although Yuan Chun was not to blame for what happened this time, it was indeed a loss of face to follow Tu Mingjun. Although Yuan Chun might not be really punished, the Jinfeng matter should probably be ruined.

The premise is that the queen did not make things right for Yuan Chun.
