The Promotion of Yuanchun in the Red Chamber

Zhao Han looked calm and calm, but he was actually beating drums in his heart: he wanted to keep an eye on his stepmother and younger sister. , with the love of my father and king in every possible way, there will be no future to speak of in the future.

Father Wang is not at home, the pressure is really great.This is Zhao Han's inner voice at this time.

And when Zhao Zhizhen left Beijing, Yuanchun's courtyard suddenly became clean, and she also felt empty in her heart... In fact, Zhao Zhizhen came to accompany her almost every day, and the two chatted endlessly, but after he went out, Yuanchun was I can't help but start to miss it.

This time she fell into lovesickness, and she was even more paranoid.

Although the concubine Liu Wei has the mentality of watching the excitement, she also knows that if the side concubine who is on the jade plate really has good or bad things, she is also doomed to fail.Therefore, regardless of whether she wanted it or not, she had to instruct the doctor to carefully protect... Yuan Chun's stomach.

In her opinion, if Yuan Chun died when he gave birth to a son, it would be the best to keep a son.There is no more thorny opponent, and there is an extra cheap son to raise... Husband Zhao Zhizhen was also raised in the imperial concubine's palace since he was a child, and his biological mother, Concubine Shu, is still alive. A motherless child still not holding hands?

In other words, self-confidence is an advantage, but overconfidence is a kind of... sickness.

Liu Zhi's parents are very loving. After she was born, she was really loved by thousands of people. In addition, she has a very good appearance, and she can learn both manners and knowledge very quickly. Everyone in the family knows that she will have a "great fortune" in the future, so Relatives and friends have never stopped flattering her. As time goes by, Liu Wei really thinks that she is the girl of destiny, but marrying Zhao Zhizhen is a blow to her who has always been smooth sailing.

On the eve of the marriage, Liu Wei once saw Zhao Zhizhen from a distance: At that time, this tall and stern man with an extraordinary bearing directly caught her eyes.It was only when she married into the palace that she realized that Zhao Zhizhen didn't treat her kindly like her father holding her mother in his palm, as she had imagined.

Liu Wei also knew that in Zhao Zhizhen's view, his natal family married him in a way that made him very uncomfortable, but unfortunately, the end was done, but Zhao Zhizhen couldn't be interested.

Liu Yan couldn't do it, so he could only use his arrogance to maintain his decency and dignity.

Having said that, how many princes and princes in the royal family really live in harmony with their husbands... But if they live together, if they can bend and stretch, they will not only be decent, but most of them will also get the inside.

Let Yuan Chun secretly comment on the princess, that is to say: I want to save face and suffer.

However, now Yuan Chun has come to realize that, if Zhao Zhizhen was the first to harbor a bad feeling, he would not be able to win back his heart no matter what.Didn't she lose her "preemptive opportunity" in her previous life, and no matter how hard she tried afterwards, it would be futile...

Anyway, Yuan Chun thinks that in his previous life, he and the concubine were just laughing at each other, so he shouldn't worry about others, his natal family alone is enough to make people physically and mentally exhausted.

It is said that Mrs. Wang really took out some of her own money to start some business with her natal sister-in-law-Jia Zheng was not ignorant of his wife's movements, but he had no right to ask about his wife's dowry, but he was better than Mrs. Wang. The strong point is that as long as you find something is not right, at least you will be honest for a while.

For example, he has already recalled that in order to send his daughter to the East Palace, he acted too urgently...and it was very cheap, so he simply closed the door and studied, and no longer went out casually to socialize.

But Mrs. Wang is extremely competitive, and she would never let it go if she had a chance to turn things around.Moreover, although she and her niece Wang Xifeng were quite proud of their backgrounds, Sister Feng was right in saying that Mrs. Wang and Wang Xifeng's dowry was indeed very good.

At least in the eyes of everyone in the Rong Mansion, which has lost its former glory, this dowry is really not a small amount.

Especially Mrs. Wang, she is confident that when her daughter enters the palace, she will have the flesh and blood of the Seventh Prince in her belly. When the time comes... the Seventh Prince will definitely protect her for her daughter's sake.So she discussed with her natal sister-in-law a few times, and then she took out the body and handed it to her. Mrs. Wang paid for it, and Wang Xifeng naturally got involved.

After Prince Teng, who had a lot of money in the moment, showed his favor to several nobles, he really went to flatter the eldest prince according to his previous promise.And at the critical moment...it was really thanks to Wang Ziteng's ingenious plan that the eldest prince was not completely defeated by the attacks of the prince's disciples.Since then, Wang Ziteng has become one of the eldest prince's confidantes, and has been deeply trusted. Of course, these are all things for later, so I won't mention them for now.

However, Mrs. Wang and Liu Wei's mother have almost the same thoughts. The two just think that if their daughter blows the pillow, cries and makes a fuss, it will make the Seventh Prince soft-hearted. Come to the rescue.It just so happens that the Seventh Prince is still out with troops, some "trivial matters" His Majesty will not embarrass this heroic and courageous son.

Liu Wei's mother is even more confident, she is the daughter of the clan, and she hasn't killed a single clan since the founding of the dynasty.

But Liu Zhi's mother worked hard to manage it, so how could Liu Zhi's father know nothing about it?

Originally, if there was a connection between the two sides, the deputy censor of Zuodu would naturally be happy to see the result: Even though he is the censor, he has always been regarded as a person of the Holy Majesty, but when it comes to his loyalty to the Holy Majesty... That's all.

It doesn't matter who sits on the dragon chair, the key is which one you can get more benefits from.

In fact, this is also the mentality of most family officials.

As for the thoughts of these people, the Holy Majesty is also well aware, so this time the vassal king's uprising, the Holy Majesty must fight back with a heavy fist, trample the cousin who has long been estranged into the mud, and also give those behind him who are always thinking about it. A bitter lesson for the Wall family.

At this time, Liu Wei's father, an old man in the officialdom, already sensed that the wind was not in the right direction: the cheap son-in-law Zhao Zhizhen followed the original plan to go north to fight against foreign enemies, so he knew that the Holy Majesty must have another plan for His Highness to the south.

And look at Lin Hai, the confidant of the Holy Master who just returned to Beijing this year, so busy that he doesn't even touch the ground... Liu Zhi's father inexplicably had an ominous premonition, so he hurriedly dissuaded his wife, and for the time being... get away, at least to get rid of those bright faces. The evidence of travel to and from the south has been cleared up.

But it is said that Liu Zhi's mother communicated with her elder brother through a clever confidant.This person is still the son of Liu Wei's mother's wet nurse. With this relationship, Liu Wei's mother is also reluctant... According to her husband's wishes, she took his life to keep it secret.

If it were true, even if it was a last resort, after killing the donkey, Liu Zhi's mother knew that it would be difficult for her to command her servants.So she sent someone to pass a few words to her daughter Liu Wei, and the confidant of Liu Wei's mother went to work in the Zhuangzi that Liu Wei married as a dowry—just to avoid the limelight, Liu Wei's Zhuangzi was indeed a rare Ansheng land.

It's a pity...it's also a blessing at the same time, Zhao Han took a close look at his stepmother, and even sent someone to keep an eye on his stepmother Zhuangzi when she came and went.

How did Zhao Han know that the newcomer in his stepmother's village was here to avoid disaster and save his life, rather than colluding with his stepmother, or even planning to take advantage of the chaos...to make a move.

The young man who had been carefully taught by his father to take precautions against his stepmother was beyond words... All in all, the more he looked at it, the more he felt that his stepmother had ulterior motives, and naturally he had to make some corresponding arrangements in the future. He told the housekeepers in the house to take good care of the concubine, and he also took the initiative to ask questions from time to time.

The young son-in-law and the equally young concubine should indeed avoid suspicion, but the atmosphere in this dynasty is relatively loose, and not being able to meet directly does not mean that when there are several people to accompany them, it is not okay to talk about family affairs through a screen.

What's more, Zhao Zhizhen is not at home, Yuan Chun doesn't count on Zhao Han, but can still imagine that if something happens to her, the princess and the eldest daughter of the palace will try their best to keep her?

At the same time, the eldest girl of the palace had nothing to do, so she thought about it a lot: she always felt that her half-brother was not right with her mother, but was even more nervous about Aunt Jia's body in the backyard—even though Yuan Chun had already passed away. Being made a side concubine, in the eyes of the eldest daughter of the palace, Yuan Chun is still an unworthy aunt!

As for the official document issued by the Ministry of Rites, in the eyes of the innocent young lady of the palace, can Yuan Chun, who has taken this imperial order, be more honored than her decent clan daughter, the future princess?

She just doesn't want to think about it, even if it's for your father's face, you have to be a little respectful to your concubine, even if you're just pretending.But Liu Wei felt that since her daughter was destined to be the main wife of a wealthy family, it would be better if she learned the ability to suppress the concubine earlier, so she never took control or even taught her.

But she said that the eldest daughter of the palace looked at her brother coldly for several days, and after much deliberation, she finally couldn't help but ran to talk to her mother, "Mother, concubine, do you think there is something wrong between my brother and Aunt Jia? How long has the father been away from Beijing?"

Liu Zhi's face froze when he heard this, his eyes swept away, and the maids and servants in the room disappeared almost instantly.Then she said seriously: "Who did you tell this to?"

The eldest girl of the palace was startled, and immediately realized that something was wrong, "I'm just telling you! You think I'm stupid, can you say such things casually?"

Liu Zhi felt relieved, and said seriously, "You're getting older, but you can't control your mouth anymore?"

Mother's words were serious, and the eldest girl who had always been loved by her mother immediately felt wronged, but she was not so heartless as to contradict her mother, she stood up and said with a low hand, "Daughter knows she's wrong."

It is said that Liu Wei is smarter than her mother because... Fortunately, she can often go to and from the palace, and she knows which bottom line is absolutely insurmountable.For example, today, the daughter suspects that the uncle of the palace, Zhao Han, and Aunt Jia are too "close".

What things can be done, and what things must be kept at a respectful distance, and what things should not be touched... Liu Wei said in her heart that it is indeed time to have a good talk with her daughter.

Liu Zhi was seriously thinking about how to teach her daughter, and Yuan Chun finally heard that both her mother and cousin sister-in-law contributed money to "support" her uncle... She suddenly felt a sense of relief that the stone fell to the ground: Although the money on hand of the mother's family is not stretched, but At any rate, the parents knew that if they didn't raise money and save money, even Yuan Chun's younger siblings wouldn't be able to get married.

Therefore, Yuan Chun can still accept her mother's eagerness, but being able to accept it does not mean that she can endure it all the time, but after the money is spent, the mother and sister-in-law should at least be more honest for a while, even if they are "unwilling to be lonely", they have to wait for the matter of the person in the south Let's talk about it in the past!

Yuan Chun was well prepared because of her life experience, but her brother Jia Zhu, who was studying and preparing for the exam in Rongfu, often kept in touch with his uncle and aunt. There's nothing wrong with kicking his uncle, the prince... It's a pity that he didn't know that his uncle really planned to burn the "hot stove" of the eldest prince, otherwise he would try his best to stop it.

Jia Zhu's calmness these days not only made Jia Min very gratified, but even Lin Hai looked at him favorably.However, the servant of the household department has no time for the time being and has no energy to teach Jia Zhu carefully, and the military salary alone keeps him so busy that he almost lives in the Yamen.

However, when Zhao Zhizhen arrived at Xiongguan in the north, he fought a few tentative battles with the Beidi people. When the battle gradually entered a stalemate, the highness in the south also saw the right time... and sent troops!

It is said that this His Highness wants to go north to the capital and directly tear off his cousin from the dragon chair... It is pure nonsense, what he wants is a real frontier cracker, and the south is rich and prosperous, so he just bit off a bite of his cousin's heart , and also fatten myself, this pleasure is needless to say.

In fact, the Holy Majesty has always been on guard against him. When secretly mobilizing defenders from various places to go north, he also quietly divided some elite troops to go south, replacing some of the original local Xiang troops without anyone noticing.

Of course, His Highness didn't know anything about it at the beginning, but then several of his good brothers from the same clan secretly sent a letter, and he also knew that although the cousin of the Holy Lord is a conservative king, he is also quite difficult to deal with. It's just that the arrow is on the string and has to be fired.

With intention to fight unintentionally, this elite of His Royal Highness chose the weakest defended city, and took it directly before the defenders from all over the country arrived, and then closed the door without fighting... He was waiting "Good news" came from the north, and it wouldn't be too late to make up for Shengshang.

It is said that the news of His Highness's rebellion quickly spread to the capital. When Liu Wei heard that, his face turned pale immediately, and the hand holding the teacup could hardly restrain himself from shaking.

The daughter on the side was almost scared to death: the eldest daughter of the palace is indeed not smart, but she is not so stupid that even her mother can't see the panic.And to make my mother lose her composure like this, I'm afraid something happened to my grandfather!

Liu Zhi swallowed half a cup of tea abruptly, barely calmed down, and ordered his confidants to take care of the eldest girl, and hurried back to her natal home by car.

When the princess left the mansion, Zhao Han naturally couldn't hide it from him. He snorted coldly, then turned around and gestured to the confidants left by his father.

Yuan Chun then also found out that the princess was leaving the house in a hurry... Although she didn't think that the princess would be a desperate person, she had to guard against it.There are also capable stewards in her yard, and it has been arranged according to the original plan at this time, but Yuan Chun waited and waited, but did not wait for the concubine to come, but welcomed the eldest lady of the palace.

The eldest girl's straightforwardness is far above Yuan Chun, "What is my brother and you hiding from my concubine and me?" She has already noticed that her grandfather's family...seems to be in trouble!At the same time, she was a little lucky, if her brother and the aunt in front of her worked together to plot against her grandfather, there would always be some room for redemption if she was captured.

The eldest girl also went to the doctor for illness, but she didn't want to think about how the Rong Guogong, who is almost left with a frame, has the ability to deceive her grandfather?

Yuan Chun was still calm, and the eldest girl's attitude of inquiring about the crime could not make her speak improperly, "There are a lot of things that are hidden from you, such as the bad things about my natal family."

The eldest girl raised her brows upside down, "You!"

At this moment, the rescuers came, and Zhao Han said directly outside the door, "My sister has something to say, why don't you ask me."
