White Moonlight is Not Easy To Do - Chapter 277
Now that I have received the grace of the Holy Spirit, every 26th day, concubines and concubines can enter the palace to welcome them. Wang Fucong was really annoyed by Yingchun’s “practice” towards her and Yuanchun. On the 26th day of November, Mrs. Wang put on her official uniform and went to the palace.
Mother Jia also knew that Madam Wang had to tell Yuanchun about Yingchun when she entered the palace, but she did not stop it. In her opinion, Yingchun really lost control. On the other hand, Mother Jia still hopes that Yuanchun can support the second room and wait for Baoyu to grow up.
Jia Yuanchun only chose “Fengzao Palace Shangshu”, in fact, “Fengzao Palace” refers to her literary talent, not a palace called “Fengzao Palace”. And the word “Shangshu”, I’m afraid it’s not a good word. In Bai Juyi’s “Shangyang White-haired Man”, it is said that “today’s palace is the oldest in the middle-aged, and everyone will give him a Shangshu number”.
The concubines and concubines who entered the palace this spring were all girls between the ages of fourteen and seventeen. Jia Yuanchun was already twenty-four years old, and the ancient women had already passed their time.
Today’s concubines are even more fulfilled this year. There were only seven concubines and concubines who came out of the residence before. For the ancient palace, it is not very lecherous nowadays.
The title of Concubine Xiande is also very strange. She is not a concubine of the four concubines or a concubine of virtue. She ascends the position with “talent”. Jia Yuanchun was the main concubine of the Qunyu Palace. Mrs. Wang was led by the **** into the gate of the palace, and she was surprised. When she entered the hall, the palace maid opened the bead curtain. As soon as she entered the curtain door, she saw Yuanchun, who was wearing a yellow robe and a phoenix hairpin, sitting in the middle. The concubines and palace maids were on the left and right.
Mrs. Wang knelt down in the state ceremony, and Jia Yuanchun said excitedly, “No!”
As she said that, she stood up, and the mother and son held hands and looked at each other with tears in their eyes, speechless for a moment. After a long while, Jia Yuanchun said, “I entered the palace myself, and I haven’t seen my mother for eight years.”
Speaking of this sentence, Jia Yuanchun couldn’t help choking, this is not fake. If Jia Yuanchun was only sixteen years old, if Yingchun wanted to take her out of the palace, she would definitely be happy, but her age had passed, and her family had high expectations for her, and she spent money. .
Eight years ago, after Jia Zhu left, there was only one younger brother in the second room, and Jia Zheng was not an official, so Mother Jia and Madam Wang all counted on her as the eldest daughter with extraordinary fate.
Jia Yuanchun said again, “How is the old lady?”
Madam Wang nodded and said, “It’s still good, I just miss the empress.”
Jia Yuanchun said: “I was sent in that day, and I knew it was rare to see each other, so why bother thinking about it.”
Mrs. Wang said: “Now the emperor’s favor is very heavy, we can go to the palace to meet the empress, and the empress can also go out of the palace to save relatives.”
Jia Yuanchun’s heart was moved, and since the grace went down, the officials in Beijing and concubines were all moved. Jia Yuanchun also heard in the harem that the imperial concubine, the concubine De, and the concubine Shu were all intentional to move. Their relatives had already entered the palace to tell them that they were going to build a different courtyard, and only today did Mrs. Wang enter the palace in the Jia residence. The concubines and concubines also competed with each other on the basis of their maiden family’s prominence. If the maiden family was weaker and the emperor’s favor was not particularly heavy, life in the palace would be very difficult.
Mammy Zhao told Wang Xifeng that picking up the car is to “use the money from the emperor’s family to use the emperor’s money! Otherwise, who would use money to buy this fake fun?” The more empty the belly is, the more face, the concubines have to support their faces in the harem, and the foreign ministers also thought that if the concubines could give birth to children, they would at least have a throne, so that they could continue the wealth and honor of the family.
There is not a single concubine that the emperor favors especially, so the concubines inside the palace and outside the palace and their parents’ families must save face, and they will take over the “grace” of the emperor.
Jia Yuanchun was overjoyed when he finally heard the word “saving relatives”. In the palace, she does not have the foundation of the queens, nobles, virtues, and concubines, nor the freshness of the new concubines who have entered the palace. This suffering is not humane to the outside world. , the mother’s family can not help. Unless the father and brother are particularly useful, then even the queen should respect her by three points.
Jia Yuanchun said: “But it will cost taels of silver to build a house.”
Mrs. Wang said: “Now the old lady and the master are also supporting the construction of other courtyards. Even if it costs a few silver taels to welcome the concubine to save relatives, it is still the glory of the Rong Mansion.”
Jia Yuanchun said, “It would be great if I could see my father and Baoyu.”
Jia Yuanchun asked Mrs. Wang to sit down to drink tea and talk. Mrs. Wang looked at Jia Yuanchun when she saw that there was something in her heart waiting for the **** Gong E. Jia Yuanchun is Mrs. Wang’s biological daughter, and she can understand it even after being separated for eight years.
In the inner palace, the other party was the mother of the concubine, Jia Yuanchun ordered him to retreat, leaving only Baoqin to guard outside the curtain.
Jia Yuanchun said, “Can mother have something to say?”
Mrs. Wang’s eyes became resentful and said, “It’s not Yingchun yet. Since she married into the palace, she has not looked down on me more and more. Now that the mother is saving her relatives, all relatives have come to congratulate her, but she is the only one who is a sister. Like a blind man.”
Jia Yuanchun was also a smart woman, so he understood and sighed: “She’s married, so that’s all.”
Madam Wang really couldn’t say that the money in the mansion was not enough, so she had to say from another angle: “It’s just that this girl is only a concubine, and I don’t know where the luck came to enter the palace. She used to have no respect for you, but now you are the imperial concubine. , this girl is still like this. Isn’t it too deceiving!”
A trace of anger flashed in Jia Yuanchun’s eyes, and he said, “What did the old lady say?”
Mrs. Wang said, “Of course the old lady misses the empress even more.”
Jia Yuanchun questioned: “Does she dare to be unfilial?”
Mrs. Wang said: “The girl is now married. She is a princess, and even the old lady can’t handle her. If the Rong residence wants to say that she is unfilial, the prince doesn’t know how to say it.”
Jia Yuanchun thought that she was still a female history that day, and Yingchun neglected her. Later, she met several times in the palace, and she also had a cold attitude. This time, she was so humiliated. This Liangzi was settled.
She is the imperial concubine, Yingchun is just the imperial concubine. Although the grades are different, the people around the emperor are also different.
Mrs. Wang said: “Although the mansion does not say that she is missing to congratulate her, but her appearance is too outrageous. If she comes to the palace, if the empress meets her, they are sisters, and they are both royal daughters-in-law, elders and children. Orderly, my mother taught her.”
Jia Yuanchun said, “Don’t be annoyed by this, mother, even if you want to build another courtyard, it shouldn’t be too extravagant.”
Mrs. Wang talked in the palace for a while. Because Mrs. Wang was illiterate, Jia Yuanchun would not ask the sisters and the baby to compose a few poems like in the original book.
Speaking of which, in the original book, the time to save relatives is short, so precious, and it is not like the poetry club, so why don’t the family gather in one place to talk sweetly, and they want to write some poems, and the time will pass in a flash.
Because Jia Yuanchun is indeed talented in poetry, she chooses servants with her literary talent. She is somewhat proud of this aspect, and she will pay attention to these when saving relatives. If she is introduced to the palace, she will not lose her “phoenix” in front of the emperor, empress, and concubines. The title of Zao Palace Shangshu”.
…
After Mrs. Wang left the palace, she hoped that Jia Yuanchun would beat Yingchun and ask Yingchun to send her money obediently.
Yingchun entered the palace today to greet the queen mother. She, a princess with loose rules, has to go to the palace every few days, and occasionally brings some folk things to the queen mother, queen, and princess.
When she saw that the maids around her sometimes had nothing to do, she would buy some beauty Chinese medicines or things like milk and aloe vera, add pearl powder that she smashed with her inner strength, and adjust some facial masks to go to the palace to send the queen mother and queen.
After the queen and queen mother used it, she really felt that her skin was hydrated and fairer, and she would also reward her with some silver jewelry.
Please be safe, because the princesses are in the Gongzhong classroom, Yingchun said that he would like to see the princesses, so he left the Cining Palace with the concubines.
“Second sister, please stay.” I saw Jia Yuanchun come forward, “Second sister, why don’t you come to my palace to sit down, our sisters rarely get together.”
The queen smiled and said, “Brother and sister, just go with Concubine Xiande, and meet up with a few children in the afternoon.”
When Yingchun saw that the queen had spoken, she pushed the boat along the way.
Yingchun took the sedan chair, Yuanchun took the chariot to the Qunyu Hall, and arrived outside the hall in a short time.
After getting off the sedan chair, Yuanchun and Yingchun entered the hall to serve tea.
When Yuanchun didn’t speak, Yingchun pretended to use a teacup to warm his hands and smelled the fragrance of the tea, only to think that whoever spoke first was the loser.
It was Yuanchun who spoke first: “We are sisters of a family, we can’t write two Jia characters in one stroke, and now we are all married into the royal family, it shows that you and my sisters have a different fate than others.”
Yingchun said, “If Concubine Xiande has something to say, she may speak bluntly.”
Yuanchun was also an ancient person, and some of his words would be unpleasant and unattractive.
Yuan Chun said, “Second sister, do you have any ideas about saving relatives?”
Yingchun said: “I don’t live in the palace, I’m in the palace, it’s convenient if you want to go back and see the old lady.”
Yuanchun said coolly: “I know that my sister may not always care about me, but I can’t write two Jia characters in one stroke, and my sister is sometimes biased in her actions.”
Thinking of the cold and humiliation she received in front of Yingchun for half a year before she became a concubine, and thinking that every time she saw her, she was sitting in the palace of the queen mother and the queen, but she was waiting inside and out, and it was inevitable that people would get angry.
Yingchun said: “Concubine Xiande also said that I was acting too biased. I saw that when I saw you, I was biased. I don’t value Concubine Xiande, I said it as if Concubine Xiande weighs me.”
Yuanchun said: “You are my sister, why don’t I respect you anymore? I was happier than anyone else when I heard your good news that day, so I wanted to congratulate you in person, but you didn’t appreciate it.”
Yingchun Hehe: “It is said that adding flowers is easy, but giving charcoal in the snow is difficult. Your congratulations on that day were worthless, and I was lonely when I was young. When you brought Baoyu to love and care for you, why didn’t you look at me?”
Yuan Chun said in shock: “So…you remember this, how long has it been since Baoyu is younger, and he is smart when he is young. You still can’t compete with your younger brother for favor?”
Yuanchun’s words and tone, as if Yingchun was ignorant of how ignorant he was. Now that Concubine Zhou and Concubine Wu are in a big move, Mrs. Wang said she wanted to save her relatives, but she thought that the family didn’t have enough money. How could Yuanchun not be in a hurry? Who doesn’t know that Yingchun’s husband came back from a raid in Jiangsu, and the treasury was full of money as soon as he started, but he didn’t carry some to his house?
Yingchun said: “Is it possible that my life is cheap? How can Baoyu surpass me? It is because you remember clearly at that time that I am not your own sister, or a concubine. The difference is clearly distinguishable, how can I distinguish clearly that the left is not right or the right is wrong?”
Yingchun remembered the poor state of the original owner at that time and her hard life. Of course, Jia She had a great responsibility, but at that time, Mrs. Xing had never been there, and no father had personally taken care of her daughter. When Mrs. Xing passed by, she was also six years old, and her taciturn and timid temperament had also developed.
Jia Yuanchun is not obliged to take care of her when she is young, and blame her parents; then why is she obliged to give Jia Yuanchun a face when she grows up?
I have martial arts skills, a husband, and a strong waist. If you don’t give a shit, you won’t give up on you. If you have the ability, you bite me! Back then, you were an adult and Yingchun was a child. Compared with her, you were not as powerful as a “martial arts master” at that time. If you didn’t ignore her, she couldn’t do anything about it.
This kind of dimensionality reduction watching fire from the other side also comes in turns.
