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

Chapter 88

Here, Yuanchun's natal family has successfully booked two good marriages for the girls in the family. Although Xue's marriage is a little dirty, it is really expected. From the Jia family's point of view It's also a red thing.

On the other side, Tu Mingxuan's brother's family reported a funeral.

Due to the previous postpartum disorder, the concubine in the family of Tu Mingxuan's elder brother, Prince Gong, finally suffered and suffered from illness for a year, but she was still ill.This Prince Gong was originally the son of the current Supreme Emperor, and also the eighth brother of Tu Mingxuan, so he could be regarded as a noble person, and the matter of the head concubine in his family is naturally qualified to hand over the son to the Supreme Emperor and Tu Mingxuan.

"Because the fourteenth brother's marriage has already been decided during the last draft, and the fifteenth brother is still young, so there is no rush. Therefore, it was originally agreed that there will be no draft next year. This time there are too many eighth sisters-in-law. As for the matter, do you still ask everyone in the palace and outside the palace to prepare, and come back next year to choose a successor for the starling. If you think about it, if you start to prepare now, it will be too late, even if the results of the draft are out. It's the month, and at that time, the starling has been a wife for a full year, and it happens to be married, but it doesn't hinder anything." This eighth sister-in-law has no friendship with herself, and if she really said how sad it would be, it wouldn't be too much. , so looking at this excerpt, Tu Mingxuan was only a little sentimental, and really thought of other things, so right now, based on the excerpt posted by Prince Gong, he discussed with the Supreme Emperor about adding a successor to Prince Gong. .

Although the superficial rule is that the draft is held every three years, but in the end the draft is a very labor-intensive thing.Under normal circumstances, if the Holy Majesty hadn't really wanted to fill the backyard or there happened to be a prince to choose a concubine, he would not be drafted easily, so this time Tu Mingyu was a little embarrassed, so he simply asked the Supreme Emperor.

It would be fine if Prince Gong married his original wife, even if he is only the brother of the Holy One now, he is still eligible to hold a draft, just like the first wife of the brothers after the fourteenth prince of the Supreme Emperor will probably be selected from the draft. But if it is changed to be the successor of Prince Gong, after all, the status is a bit worse, and it may not be qualified to be so.

It's just that the Supreme Emperor is still there, and other things are fine. At least in this kind of matter, Tu Mingzhen is very unwilling to disobey the Supreme Emperor's intention.

Fortunately, this time the Taishanghuang had the same idea as Tu Mingjun, and he didn't want to make another fuss.

"Then there is no need to bother, you just have to look around more on weekdays, and if there are good ones, pay attention to your brother." Regarding this, the Supreme Emperor is not worried, no matter which family's daughter Tu Mingxuan chooses, Always have to give the Supreme Emperor a purpose, if it is not a good one, the Supreme Emperor will not allow it.

But this is considered good, since the Supreme Emperor said so, he allowed Tu Mingxuan to slowly gather his power - the fourteenth concubine selected by Tumingxuan in the previous draft is the current Empress Dowager's natal family. It can be regarded as being able to gather the younger princes to his side in a disguised form.

Although the Supreme Emperor may not have loved Tu Mingxuan very much before, but now that he has chosen an heir, it is naturally unlikely that he will change his face from day to day. Not to mention acquiescing to his son to win over his brothers, Tu Mingxuan did not ask for marriage for Tu Mingxi's eldest son this time. , he didn't say anything.

Although Concubine Zhen Taigui was a little unhappy, she was beaten back by the Supreme Emperor in the end, only saying that the eldest son of Tu Mingxi can only be regarded as the son of the clan, and that child is only a bastard, and should not choose a concubine, only the princess of Tu Mingxi herself Choose a wife.

To be honest, this is also the reason why Yuanchun couldn't wait to book a marriage for Yingchun as soon as possible. If Tu Mingxi set his sights on his family and hired Yingchun to come in, even if he worked hard in the harem, he would not be able to stop Tu Mingxi in the future. The negative impact of the rebellion on oneself.

That's why Yuan Chun said that all the marriages of younger brothers and sisters had to be done by her when visiting relatives, just to guard against this.

You must know that since Yingchun can be the adopted son and daughter-in-law of Prince Duan, it is not too much to be the eldest son-in-law or side concubine of Tu Mingxi. He can send his daughter to the door without hesitation.

They all think that the left and right are princes and the elder brothers of the Holy One, their status is secure, and they are sure that he is a wealthy son-in-law in front of him. Who can predict that he will cause a catastrophe in the future.

Although the royal family's decree is actually the queen's business, but because Yuan Chun's ability to assist the harem was really good, the impact of this is still too profound, and it is not something that cannot be said, so Tu Mingzhen is not surprised He Yuanchun said something casually.

"Although my concubine is not familiar with Concubine Gong, I have heard that Concubine Gong seemed to have given birth to a prince, so this step-concubine's background should not be too high, at least not to go beyond her original spouse, at least the rules outside the palace In the clan, at least in the past few years, I haven’t heard of anyone who has a stepmother, so I don’t know.” On matters that have nothing to do with him, Yuan Chun has never been willing to say too much or make mistakes, only after mentioning one sentence Say nothing more.

It doesn't make any difference to Yuan Chun who Princess Gong is, and she doesn't have to protect the matchmaker, so as not to cause unnecessary trouble in the future.

As an emperor, the Supreme Emperor is not considered to have a rich heir. This Prince Gong was originally the eighth prince, and he is almost seven or eight years younger than Tu Mingxuan, the twelve princes of the Supreme Emperor.And after all, Prince Gong’s son, who lost his mother when he was young, was framed into a slightly disabled appearance when he was young—although he was not so successful, but after all, it still made the Supreme Emperor feel distressed, but He Tu Ming He is not familiar with this purely invisible prince.Yuan Chun spent all those years in the Empress Dowager's palace, and was not familiar with her.

Ever since Tu Mingxuan came to the throne, Prince Gong has been more cautious and less annoying.

At least Tu Mingxuan was very satisfied with this brother's understanding of current affairs, and planned to find a good marriage for the other party.

Moreover, after Tu Mingxuan ascended the throne, at least he had more contacts and contacts, but he did hear some gossip.

"Originally, Prince Gong was closer to the second brother. This concubine Gong can be regarded as the nomination for the starling, and she chose a family that favored the second brother. Who would have thought that the second brother... this family just didn't have any troubles?" , I just wanted to get out and do something wrong while Concubine Gong was pregnant and giving birth." Tu Mingjun and Concubine Gong didn't have much friendship, but it was inevitable that he would sigh for a while, and now just in time for this matter, he simply had a gossip with Yuan Chun , "The Supreme Emperor only found out about it afterwards, and he even sighed with me because of this matter."

Yuan Chun is used to seeing these things and doesn't take them seriously: "There are always more people who follow the trend in this world. When the concubine was staying in the Empress Dowager's Palace, because of the age gap with the Holy Majesty, there was no one in the family. I don't think concubines are blessed to serve the saints and enter the royal family, so they have the right to think that there is no concubine. In ten years, except for the concubine's biological mother, there is no news of her natal family. The son climbed up again. Even the concubine’s peaceful family is like this. Although outsiders are inevitably embarrassed like Princess Gong, the family has always been like this. If only sacrificing a married woman can avoid disaster, Princess Gong It’s no surprise that the family behaves this way.”

The education of the aristocratic family made it so, not to mention just sacrificing a married woman, sometimes if necessary, the family members are willing to sacrifice themselves for the sake of the family. In Yuan Chun's view, this is not surprising.If Princess Gong hadn't survived for more than a year, Yuan Chun would have believed that Princess Gong had sacrificed herself.

"Death is like a lamp going out. Although it is not an honorable act to sacrifice a female family member in this court event, it is still just an extra stick of incense for Princess Gong. As for the Supreme Emperor, although he sighed, he was probably more concerned about it." People's hearts are not old, so I'm just worried about Prince Gong's family. The Empress Dowager and Empress Dowager often order their wives to enter the palace to pay their respects. At most, in the past two years, they often ask the daughters of the family, and then find a good girl for them. That's it for Prince Gong, let the Supreme Emperor relax." Yuan Chun ignored Tu Ming's sudden sadness, just pretended that he didn't hear anything, and didn't give him any advice, just a casual sentence, and the rest was left to his own devices. Zhuo Mingjun thought about it by himself.

Even if Tu Mingjun valued this elder brother again, Prince Gong would have to observe his wife's filial piety for a year first, not to mention that Yuan Chun and the imperial daughters of the families outside the palace were not familiar with each other, even if they did, they would have to wait a year later, very soon Don't worry about it now.

So Yuan Chun simply pretended that he didn't hear, and didn't go to grab the empress' job.

----split line----

It is boring to be in the palace where nothing else happens. If it were the year before, Yuan Chun would definitely stir up some incidents so that the palace could not be too peaceful. But now that the queen has a son, the palace has suddenly calmed down. .

Apart from the fact that Concubine Wen was diagnosed to be pregnant again in early May and caused a little disturbance, there were no other surprises.

But this is nothing surprising, when the Holy Majesty was in his prime, and there were so many women in the palace, it would be surprising if no one became pregnant for a long time.

All of this has nothing to do with Yuanchun, because she herself is unable to conceive, so which one can conceive and which one can give birth to a child has nothing to do with Yuanchun, she will not be tampered with at all except for giving some according to the example There is really nothing to do except the gifts.

There are quite a lot of people in the palace now, although Yuan Chun can often see Tu Mingjun, but he doesn't really have much time to sleep with him, he is actually not a strong opponent for the kind of woman who really wants to win favor—compared to It seems that those girls who can go to bed four or five times a month and who are young and easy to conceive and have children are even more jealous.

At the Wanshou Festival at the end of May, Concubine De was extremely uncomfortable because of a meat dish at the banquet, and then she was diagnosed with a pregnancy of nearly four months, which was calculated to be more than a month earlier than Concubine Wen's pregnancy.

"De concubine's method is nothing in the palace. First of all, when the emperor was in power and rushed to the Halloween and Mid-Autumn Festival, he felt unwell and found countless people. At other times, the imperial physicians could hardly make a diagnosis. It's like a happy pulse, but almost all of the people who entered the palace had irregular menstruation when they were in their mother's house, as if all the women with diseases in the world entered the palace, and they were only three or four months pregnant I haven't found out that I have a body yet, if I know it, it's just a joke, but there is nothing to worry about." The first time I saw the empress empress was a little displeased, but Yuan Chun had seen it a lot. There are not many children, but there are quite a few women in the palace who conceive, but there are more unborn. Seeing this scene, I even feel a little familiar, and I can comfort the empress who is upset by the way. The fetus has been born for four months, although it is said that it is October, but the first month is the most. This baby is estimated to be born in October or Dongyue, and it will be even more so if it catches up with the Qianqiu Festival..."

Although it is estimated that De Concubine will not deliberately catch up with the Qianqiu Festival, this kind of thing has to be guarded against, even if the possibility of De Concubine's brain twitching like An Concubine's is not considered, one must also be prepared for unexpected situations, after all De Concubine's The first child was born during the Qianqiu Festival in October, so it is probably not considered premature.

Yuan Chun may not be good at the privacy of the harem, but he is familiar with the scheming methods of the women in the harem, and he is not afraid to popularize it for the queen.

It seems that the sense of crisis has been lower recently, so it is inevitable that I have nothing to do, and I am thinking about enlightening others.

But it is estimated that Yuan Chun will not be in this mood soon.
