[Red House] Lixian

Some people say that the harem of Emperor Situ Wu was the most chaotic, not because of intrigue, but because of the relationship between concubines.

In the eyes of later generations, Emperor Wu's harem was rare and clean.However, the grievances and entanglements among several concubines left room for future generations to imagine.

First of all, Queen Wang and Concubine Mei.

Queen Wang finally asked her to be lonely, and Concubine Mei obeyed.Your son is my son, who will become a pair of affectionate sisters in the art processing of later generations.

Secondly, Concubine Wu and Concubine Mei.

As the twin concubines who assisted the Five Emperors together in Jinling, the two cooperated tacitly.In the end, Concubine Wu tightly held Concubine Mei's hand before she died, with strong affection.

Third, Concubine Wen and Concubine Mei.Some people say: "Where the plum fragrance passes, the orchid wind follows." As the four concubines chanted by later generations, the two have left indelible achievements for future generations.

Fourth, Jia Yuanchun and Mei Fei.As cousins, the two have known each other since childhood, and there is another legendary story.

Fifth, Bai Su and Shi Qinglan.This pair of enemies added vitality to Emperor Wu's harem, and finally both disappeared in the harem.

Sixth, Queen Wang and Concubine Wu.Don't expect to be born in the same year, the same month, and the same day, but to die in the same year, the same month, and the same day.The two poisoned each other and went to the underworld together.In the art processing of later generations, they are a pair of mandarin ducks and bitter couples. The affair was broken by Emperor Wu and they went to the underworld together, only to see each other again in the next life.Of course, there is another saying that because of their love for Concubine Mei, the two of them practiced each other's field, and finally died in Concubine Mei's arms.

———————— "The Queen of Attack Hidden Behind Emperor Wu"

Qing Si Temple.

"How's the situation in Jamsil?" Wei Qian asked the maid next to her after washing up.

Yiyun rolled her eyes, and said angrily: "Your Majesty, aren't you tired of asking questions every day these few days?"

Wei Qian was very concerned about the situation in Jamsil, and was afraid that someone would make trouble for her.Not only her, the empress dowager and Situ Yun also sent people to watch.Last year, the empress was ashamed of herself, if Wei Qian was tormented with the intention of sinking together, Wei Qian would not be able to bear it.

But Wei Qian didn't have Queen Hongchun by her side, so Yiyun and Qiyun stepped forward to serve her.After the incident in the past, Yiyun devoted herself to serving Wei Qian without any second thoughts.

"Your Majesty, don't worry, the Empress Dowager has come forward, even if something happens, it has nothing to do with you."

"It's embarrassing after all. If something goes wrong in Jamsil, how can I have the face to preside over such a grand ceremony in the future?"

Soon, Qiyun came in: "My lady, the empress and the imperial concubine are here to invite you."

"Are they inviting me together?" Wei Qian asked in surprise, and stood up to find two female officers.

After this questioning, it turned out that the two of them had invited Wei Qian to talk to each other in their palaces.

"What's this for? Let Ben Gong stand in line?" Wei Qian was puzzled, and after thinking about it, he went to Qingning Palace to pay his respects.

Seeing that something was wrong, Xiangling secretly went to find Concubine Wen.

When Concubine Wen heard that Wei Qian was going to Qingning Palace alone, she hurried to accompany her.

As soon as Wei Qian arrived on the front foot, Concubine Wen arrived on the back foot.

"Sister." Concubine Wen took Wei Qian's hand and looked at Qingning Palace.

Now Qingning Palace smells like sandalwood all over the place, and the surroundings are gloomy and cold, even more terrifying.

Concubine Wen felt apprehensive, and walked into the inner room side by side with Wei Qian.

Wei Qian frowned slightly, and she smelled medicine.The sandalwood outside is also to cover up the medicinal smell.

"Is the Queen seriously ill?"

The second daughter raised her eyes and saw the empress with her shawl hanging out, sitting on the edge of the bed looking at the screen portrait not far away.

On the screen are the portraits of the concubines at the beginning of the year.The queen, three concubines and nine concubines are all on it, which was drawn by a master Danqing.

"Concubine Ning, what do you think of this palace's appearance?" The empress looked at the portrait in a daze, and reached out to stroke her pale cheek.

Wei Qian was silent. Back then, to paint a portrait, the Empress dressed herself up carefully and got up from the bed.But simply looking at the portraits, he is rich and rich, but lacks a bit of aura.

"Elegant and elegant, with the appearance of a phoenix." Concubine Wen was the first to retort: ​​"The empress is not in good health, so my concubine and younger sister will retire first."

"Wait." The queen stopped them and looked at Wei Qian: "Tell me, who is more beautiful, Ben Gong or Concubine Wu?"

Wei Qian: "..."

Concubine Wen was stunned, and asked Wei Qian to come over, just to say this?

"Each has its own merits." Wei Qian said euphemistically, "The empress has the appearance of a phoenix, while the elder sister of the imperial concubine is virtuous and dignified."

"But isn't it as good as you?" the queen said suddenly.

Wei Qian frowned unknowingly, was it an old saying?

At the beginning of the year, we drew a total of three portraits.There is a picture of riches and honor with a hundred flowers, a picture of a hundred birds facing a phoenix, and a picture of a person.

Let the queen mother and the emperor look at it, and they all say that Wei Qian's portrait is the most spiritual.

Nonsense, that Danqing master is a monk who practiced painting, and his portrait is full of images of luck.The so-called picture of a hundred birds facing the phoenix is ​​to transcribe and draw everyone's luck and phoenix birds on the scroll one by one.

Among the crowd, Wei Qian was naturally the most lucky. Although there were people above her who were superior in rank, the rich luck and dazzling looks were far beyond the comparison of the others.

In the picture of a hundred birds facing the phoenix, although the golden phoenix is ​​in the center, it is weak.The phoenix birds singing on both sides are not as comfortable as the other red phoenix soaring.

Most of the birds landed on the trees and the ground, only Danfeng flew in the air.If Wei Qian hadn't known that the painter of Danqing was a well-rounded person who was born in the cave.I'm afraid they all suspect that someone took the opportunity to design themselves.

For this reason, Wei Qian deliberately avoided these jealous concubines for a long time.

"Your Majesty's words are wrong. A hundred flowers blooming in the palace can have a long life. It's just that it was easier for me to get into the painting that day." After Wei Qian saluted, Concubine La Wen left.

The queen didn't stop them this time, and asked the two to go to the imperial concubine's palace.

The imperial concubine's face was haggard, and she was also looking at the painting.

The imperial concubine took the "Hundred Flowers Wealth and Nobility Picture" in the house to watch.

Sitting by the bed, the two of them pointed to the two peonies in the center of the picture: "Do you think the golden peony is more beautiful, or the red peony?"

The second daughter looked at it, and Concubine Wen said, "They all look good."

The Hundred Birds Facing the Phoenix compares birds to concubines, while this picture of Hundred Flowers compares flowers to women.

The golden peony is the empress, the red peony is the noble concubine, the begonia is the Yuanchun, Wei Qian chooses plum blossoms, Wenfei chooses orchids, and the other concubines choose lotus and camellia.

"Sisters, don't coax me with these words. You can't tell why. My sister won't let you two go."

It's time for these two to run out of fuel.Wei Qian saw that their lives were not long, so she wanted to compare them before they died.

She cautiously comforted her: "Golden peony is the richest in the world, while red peony is more majestic and orthodox."

When the concubine heard this, she smiled with satisfaction: "Yes, some people are showing off their status. In the final analysis, they are nothing more than chickens flying on branches, but they are nouveau riche."

There are too many people in the palace who are dissatisfied with the queen.The queen herself has low self-esteem, and half of her current illnesses are caused by depression.

"Sister, don't think too much, just recover from your illness." Wei Qian and Concubine Wen withdrew and left.

On the way back, Concubine Wen patted her chest: "It's so pervasive, you stayed in the house, didn't you feel anything?"

I can feel it, the two palaces are lifeless, which is obviously a sign of a change of owner.

"What do they do? My sister only needs to take good care of the eldest princess, and having a son is a serious matter."

"It's just about me, what about you? Your Majesty has been with you these few days, why hasn't he seen any movement from you?"

Wei Qian's face froze, and he hesitated to change the topic.She slept with Situ Yunchun, her passion stopped at ceremony, and she didn't take any further action at all.She would never give birth to a child for Situ Yun.

A few days later, the empress invited Wei Qian over again.This time, Wei Qian checked the astrology in advance, and by the way, pulled Princess Yihe next to her.

The two went to Qingning Palace.

This time, the empress was dressed in formal attire and sat in the main hall.

"My concubine pays homage to the queen's wife/my sister meets the emperor's sister-in-law." The two saluted and stood in the hall.

"I don't like you." Empress Wang raised her chin and said coldly to Wei Qian, as if she couldn't see Princess Yihe next to her, "Since you entered the palace, I have disliked you."

Wei Qian frowned, but said nothing.Princess Yihe wanted to say something, but Wei Qian pressed her to let the empress vent herself.

"One you, one Jia Yuanchun, one Wu Yingyue, the three of you despise me behind your back!" The empress was a little out of breath, and the maid next to her hurriedly gave her medicine.

"That's whether the Empress wants to see it or not." Wei Qian said indifferently: "You have the crown prince in your hands and your position is stable, so why bother with the three of us? Sitting firmly in the central palace, what can others say?"

"Sit firmly in the middle palace?" Queen Wang laughed loudly: "Who among you would not peep at this chair of this palace? If I don't do it first, wait until you bully me? How can you not understand private affairs?"

Princess Yihe couldn't help but said: "That's why I said that the emperor's sister-in-law is petty. Do you really think that everyone else is like you and only focuses on the harem? Back then, you secretly acted so that no dragons would be born in the palace. Do you know that you almost let the emperor The dragon position is not guaranteed?"

"You only know that the harem competes for favor. If you don't do it, how can the elder sisters do it to you? And Sister Ningfei never did anything to you from the beginning to the end, right?" Princess Yihe grew up in the palace and still has a little bit of political power vision.

When will Situ Yun's life be good?

Just after giving birth to the prince.During that time, the empress was proud, even Concubine Wu Gui and the others didn't do anything to the prince.

Why?Because these women all understand that Situ Yun will be safe when the prince is around, and their position will be stable.

One focuses on the struggle in the harem, and the other focuses on the harem. It is clear at a glance which is better.

Not to mention that the queen served the emperor at first, and she didn't have much respect for the queen mother.The queen mother was annoyed, so Situ Yun naturally favored his mother.

Inferiority, haste, recklessness.Innocence, all kinds of characters that should not be possessed by women in the harem, the queen possessed them all.

It's strange that she doesn't fail.

"Your Majesty is looking for a concubine for this?"

"No." Empress Wang sat on the chair, seeming to lose her energy all of a sudden: "I want to hand over the crown prince to you."

"Wang Zheng said, you are a decent governor, and I can only leave it to you after I die." Queen Wang pleaded with Wei Qian, but she seemed a little unwilling and her tone was blunt.

"Concubine Wu poisoned my palace, and this palace also used medicine on her. Both of us will die soon. The prince is young, so he can only choose a concubine to raise him." The empress hated Concubine Wu for taking her child.Secretly prescribed medicine to her, the so-called serious illness of wind and cold was the queen's handwriting.And now the queen is seriously ill, because Concubine Wu used the medicine of tiger and wolf to hollow out the queen's body.

Wei Qian politely refused: "The Empress Dowager is still here, I will ask the Empress Dowager to take care of me." Seeing that the Empress was a little disappointed, she added: "Of course, the prince is the future heir of Jiangshan Sheji, and the concubine can only take care of her. "

After receiving Wei Qian's words, the queen felt at ease.At this time, another palace official came to report: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, Concubine Wu is dead!"

"She's dead?" Queen Wang was overjoyed and laughed loudly: "Wu Yingyue, after all, I'm the one who overwhelms you. You're the one who went ahead!"

Crazy laughter echoed in the hall, and Princess Yihe couldn't help shrinking behind Wei Qian.

Wei Qian frowned slightly, and suddenly the laughter stopped abruptly, and Queen Wang sat on the phoenix chair and died.

A group of people in the palace turned their backs, Wei Qian and Princess Yihe ran to the imperial concubine's palace.

At this time, Concubine Wu's life weakened, seeing Wei Qian coming from the Queen's palace, her eyes lit up: "Sister... sister, is that bitch dead?" Mood ups and downs.Sure enough, the queen was forced to death.

"died."

"Okay, it's fine if you die." Concubine Wu Gui spat out blood, "I wanted to attack the prince as well, but the prince is His Majesty's only son after all. Only when the prince is here, Jiangshan is here. I just ask my sister to help take care of the Wu family in the future. For the sake of my heart for His Majesty, I will leave a bloodline of the Wu family."

When a person is about to die, his words are also good, and Concubine Wu Gui saw it clearly at this time.Now that the Wu family's power in the court is growing, I'm afraid there will be a catastrophe in the future.

Wei Qian was quite helpless, why did you always ask me for your last words?

Seeming to see what she was thinking, Concubine Wu Gui smiled bitterly: "Don't you know Yuan Chun's personality? Listen to my sister, be careful of Yuan Chun in the future."

With the first two dead, wouldn't Yuan Chun's temper be contentious?And Wei Qian here is the biggest obstacle.When Yuanchun ascended the throne, Wei Qian must be removed first.

Grasping Wei Qian's hand, Concubine Wu gave a heavy support, and finally fell down heavily.

Later history books say: "Wang and Wu poisoned each other, died on the same day, and were buried together after death."

Of course, at this time, Wei Qian never imagined that in later generations, this pair of enemies would be added so many artistic adaptations by later generations.What's more, he didn't know that he became the protagonist of the so-called Shura field.
