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

Chapter 85

What Yuan Chun said was not a secret, and there was never any so-called secret in this palace.Yuan Chun had just uttered nonsense in the Queen's Palace early in the morning, and it hadn't waited until the afternoon. Basically, no one in the palace didn't know what he said.

The Taishanghuang lived his whole life, after all he had seen more, and because he got along well with Jia Daishan and his ministers, he couldn't help loving Yuanchun, so although Yuanchun's words sounded a bit treacherous if you listened carefully, they were not incomprehensible.

In this palace, sons are always valued by their mothers, and mothers are valued by their sons. Leaving aside other things, the Empress Dowager was only a concubine in her first life in the Empress Dowager's Palace. To be honest, the harem at that time was much more beautiful than her. But now that Tu Mingxuan ascended the throne, she became the empress dowager logically. Although she didn't get much favor now, no matter how favored she was in the harem, it was impossible for her to put on airs in front of the queen dowager.

"Mr. Rong was arrogant when he was young, and he has made great achievements in military affairs all his life. Mrs. Rong is also a daughter of a general. It would be strange if their children have no temper." Instead, he said this to the people around him with a smile, full of jokes and nostalgia.

Although Tu Mingxuan may not have the tolerance and generosity of the Supreme Emperor, but fortunately he is really young now, and the two princes under his knees are only a few months old. It is impossible to say that there is any sense of crisis that the waves of the Yangtze River push forward. , I just feel that Yuan Chun's temperament seems to be different from usual, it's a bit novel.

"This is because I didn't have a good rest. The night before, my concubine was preoccupied with things and didn't rest well. Yesterday, I just returned to the palace at the beginning of Yin. This morning when I got up early, my temper was unavoidably irritable, but I spoke my heart out. Your Majesty Just think about it, my concubine has reached the end of her position now, she is extremely honorable, but it is difficult for them to climb up to my head by relying on her position. Besides, the brother in the concubine’s family is nothing more than a girl’s lifespan Not the eldest—the concubine’s grandmother has two sons and four daughters, and the concubine’s uncle and father are considered healthy now, but the four aunts are gone regardless of the concubine’s concubine. They are about ten years old, and they have been gone for several years. The concubine is not too young now, and she will definitely walk ahead of the Holy One in the future. I can't see the day when their mother is more expensive than their children. No matter how indulgent they are, they will It doesn't matter." Yuan Chun came back in the morning and slept in the cage, but now he is full of sleep, and when Tu Mingjun sees her, she will be a gentle and elegant girl again.

However, Yuan Chun's explanation of his own speech and behavior in the morning seemed to be different from others.

"A concubine is not the concubine's first wife in the palace. She must be virtuous and dignified. Since she is a concubine, she doesn't need to be tolerant and magnanimous. She is free to laugh and scold at will. The queen's concubine has everything in a bowl of water, but the concubine It's not necessary, as long as there are no mistakes in the face, it's fine. Some people are related to each other, but some are not. I am more willing to show respect to Concubine Jing. The character of the concubine Shu concubine is the most worry-free and I prefer to give her face. Although it is not necessarily fair, some people will be dissatisfied. It is not incomprehensible. But the concubine is still a concubine after all, No matter how friendly they are on weekdays, they and even the nobles behind them can't be provoked, so they simply choked and went back." Although Yuan Chun was soft on the outside, he was still arrogant in his bones, and he was quite a bit like Sister Feng when he laughed and scolded. The beauty and coquettish demeanor of Ershenxian concubine is different from other people in the palace, but Tu Mingxuan couldn't help but stare dumbfounded.

But all people always have bad roots, and they always prefer what they don't have.The empress dowager was not very favored and powerful before Tu Mingzhen ascended the throne. In theory, she was just a respectful and accompanying concubine. The master of the title, and the concubine is only just enough to be qualified to educate the prince and concubine, which is really not that honorable.

Because the position of birth mother is not high, he himself is not particularly smart and knows how to please people. In fact, Yitu Mingjun was not treated well when he was a child. In truth, his temperament is somewhat lacking in confidence. Compared with those Older or well-born elder brother, he is really not outstanding, but he is more respectful and honest.

Therefore, compared to those girls who seem to have no personality, who are virtuous and docile with three obediences and four virtues, Tu Mingxuan prefers sensible but confident and generous girls in his heart.

It's just that he was a prince no matter how unfavorable he was at the beginning. Although it is not easy to compare with the brothers in the palace, he is naturally noble compared to others, and the wives and concubines who were first given in his backyard have no good backgrounds. , in front of him there is only reason to be careful, no one dares to be presumptuous.

Not to mention the concubines, even Tu Mingxuan himself only said that he likes talented and sensible women.

That is to say, those who are barefoot in Yuanchun are not afraid of wearing shoes. Although they usually hide it well, once they get up and get angry, they immediately bring out their natal temper.

——When I was at the head of the family, Yuan Chun was the only girl in the family in the early years. She was born in a good life and was born as a daughter, so she was the one with great dignity.Later, two more girls were added to the family, and she was the only one who was born.

Although Mrs. Wang put on a bodhisattva appearance when she got older, she was still the daughter of the Wang family. Mother Jia said that Mrs. Wang's temperament was actually similar to that of Wang Xifeng when she was young.And Jia Min, the direct daughter of the Jia family, was the only one married to the Lin family in the previous generation—don't look at Sister Lin's gentleness, that's because she is the only daughter in the family and has no brothers. Even if he is in power, he is not very confident, and he is raised in someone else's family. Even so, he often coaxes people with Jia's phoenix eggs. It can be seen that although it is hard to say what Jia Min's temper is, but in the end he is Not a submissive temperament.

As the daughter of the Jia family and the Wang family, although Yuan Chun's temperament cannot be said to be like Sister Feng's, it is a dream to point out that she is soft-tempered.

But fortunately, Tu Mingxun didn't think about embarrassing Yuanchun, but was rather curious about Yuanchun's experience of returning to her natal family.

"Even the concubine, who has a lot of indifferent relationship with the family members, really misses the family members when they go back, let alone other people. I got a headache and agreed, I'm afraid the Holy One will hear many sisters begging for grace for their natal family." Yuan Chun didn't hide this at all.

In the dream, it wasn't that Yuan Chun had asked Jia Zheng for a job as a student of politics not long after he went home to visit his relatives.

"The concubine was just catching up with the emperor to give official positions to the concubine's father and cousin, and the rest are still dolls. For a while, they didn't think much about applying for official positions. They only let the concubine meet. Girls from her natal family, thinking about finding a good marriage for them in the future, this is harmless." Yuan Chun frankly put the matter on the bright side, and did not hide his careful thoughts at all, "Although the concubine's family is still There are a few girls, but they are either concubines or children of relatives, and their prospects are limited, and I think I still have this dignity after all."

Compared with seeking official positions for men in the previous dynasty, seeking marriage for female relatives is not that important after all, and according to Yuanchun's words, they are all concubines or children of relatives who are not well-born, and they are remarrying. It's also impossible to be too honorable, Tu Mingxun didn't intend to refute Yuan Chun's face, and even asked Yuan Chun's plan with great interest.

"There are five girls in total, and the tallest one is the daughter of her aunt's family who has disappeared. Her father was the first inspector of salt and imperial censor, and also won the false title of doctor of Lantai Temple. Later, she disappeared in Yangzhou. She can be regarded as a daughter of a second-rank official family, but her parents are gone, and she has no brother left. In the first few generations of her family, she didn't even have any close relatives, so it's really hard to find a marriage." Lin Daiyu's marriage is indeed difficult to find, she is not a low-born but she only has a false name left, and it is not at all possible to get married to her.

Daiyu's second-rank official daughter's status is not low, but she is not a girl from the Jia family's own family, but a relative's child. If the Jia family can find Lin Daiyu a first- and second-rank official son-in-law as a son-in-law, that's all. If she gets married, she's afraid that Jia's family will be poked and broken.

"The rest is the daughter of the cousin in the East Mansion. Although the cousin has become a monk, he is still there after all. Now the cousin of Xijue in the East Mansion is the elder brother of her mother. If you can find a good one Forget it, if you can't find a son-in-law from the East Mansion, it's fine, but you don't bother." Xichun's helping here is due to love and not helping, Yuanchun doesn't have a headache.

As for Yingtan, who are both concubines and have parents of their own, Yuan Chun couldn't have been more attentive in helping Zhang Zhangyan.

"Don't worry about the other two concubine girls. Although there is another girl from my aunt's family who is not bad, but she is from a merchant family. If the family can find a son who is a Jinshi, it will be more decent, so don't worry about it." Really, it’s just an aunt’s cousin who needs to worry about it. After a while, other sisters also have to ask for the grace of the Holy Spirit. If the Holy Spirit helps them, they can’t let the concubine suffer. The concubine will leave this burden to you, just a little But my concubine forbids you to bring her into the palace." Yuan Chun relaxed and threw the burden to Tu Mingjun with a complacent expression on his face.

Lin Daiyu's marriage is indeed troublesome, not to mention her parents' background, her slender body is enough for most people to exclude her from the scope of daughter-in-law.After all, the purpose of marrying a daughter-in-law is to spread the branches and spread the leaves to prolong the heirs. Who would be willing to have their children and grandchildren welcome a delicate and sick child into the door.
