Chapter 242 Jia Yingchun 1
Chapter 242 Jia Yingchun 1
"Second sister is a little better. She gave birth to a little princess. Even though the emperor doesn't often visit the harem, he always thinks about her. Even the empress gives her some face. It seems that the most important thing in the harem is not family affairs and status, but offspring.
It’s a pity that I am unlucky. I have been in the palace for so many years, but my stomach has not moved. Even the emperor has never looked at me. I can only waste my life in the palace.
Mother, I only regret that I am far away in the palace and cannot help you much."
When Mrs. Wang heard her daughter's words, tears began to fall from her eyes. She rolled her eyes and said, "Since your second sister is unwilling to help you, what about your third sister?
I think the old lady didn't want your second sister to enter the palace for the selection, because once she entered the palace, she would block your way in the future.
It's a pity that your uncle is an unforgivable wicked man who secretly registered for your second sister. Later, your second sister was sent to the emperor's private residence and became a concubine.
You know what happened later. Your second sister rose to prominence, became the queen, and gave birth to a little princess, taking advantage of your good fortune.
Now your second sister is definitely not on the same page with us, so if that's the case, let's push Tanchun up. That child was raised by me since she was a child and has a very strong temper. She is also on the same page with us. Having someone by your side to help you can at least help you win favor. When you have a child in the future, you can also raise it by your own lap."
Yuanchun's eyes lit up and she thought this was a really good idea, but it was a pity that calculations could not keep up with changes.
After the defeat of the Prince of Nanjun, he needed to give up a girl as a marriage partner. The old princess was reluctant to part with her own granddaughter, so she set her sights on the Jia family, who were on good terms with her own family, and also fell in love with Tanchun.
Mrs. Wang was naturally reluctant to give up this chess piece, but the old princess had given her too much. Not only did she give Yuanchun her connections in the palace, but Baoyu also benefited from it and began to become friends with Prince Beijing.
Although Mrs. Wang was reluctant, she still agreed to this for the sake of her eldest daughter. It was a pity that Tanchun was so young and could only marry far away.
After Su Tong learned about this, he realized that there was no way to change it. The only thing he could do was to send more dowries and send a few reliable maids and guards over, hoping that his third sister could live a good life.
Su Tong only hated that he was too far away to take care of his fourth sister's family affairs, so he immediately went to ask the Queen Mother for a favor and arranged a nanny for his fourth sister, hoping that his fourth sister would not do anything to show disillusionment with the world again.
Although Mrs. Wang did not send Tanchun into the palace, she sent Baochai instead. After all, she owed Mrs. Xue such a large sum of money. Even if they were sisters, they had to settle the accounts clearly. Mrs. Wang directly gave this position to Baochai. After all, she wanted to enter the palace to serve people so much in the first place, so she directly fulfilled her wish.
But there are so many beauties in the palace. Although Baochai is beautiful, her looks are not good enough in the palace. The emperor is not a man who is greedy for beauty. It is impossible for him to pull all the beautiful women into his bed.
Baochai has been in the palace for almost half a year, but she can only stay in the small courtyard every day. The two cousins stare at each other. Baochai originally had great ambitions, but she panicked when she was trapped here. She was unwilling to be trapped in this small courtyard for the rest of her life, so she thought about looking for Yingchun.
When Su Tong heard that a palace maid wanted to see him, he realized that it must be Baochai. The other party was also the kind of person who would come forward when she needed someone and go backward when she didn't. However, people come and go in the world for profit.
Su Tong can recommend the other party to become the emperor's concubine, but the prerequisite is that the Xue family must give him their previous business connections. No one will think that he has too much money, and he also has to prepare a dowry for his daughter.
For the sake of her daughter's future, Mrs. Xue had no choice but to agree. After Su Tong received the things, he immediately handed over half of them to the emperor.
Although Zhao Yan made a lot of money from the villa for the visit of the royal family, who would feel that the money was a waste of money? He immediately kept the connection, favored Xue Baochai, made her a last-rate beauty, and threw her directly into Yuanchun's yard.
After Su Tong learned about this, he did not take it to heart, because he was planning to have a second child, originally to find a support for his daughter. Besides, the affairs of the Jia family had been almost dealt with, so he did not need to worry about those old nobles anymore.
Baochai thought that the emperor would fall in love with her after seeing her, but reality slapped her hard in the face. That night, the emperor did not even ask her what her name was. He came and left in a hurry, and in the end he gave her a little beauty.
Yuanchun still has the title of Talented Lady. She doesn't have a good face towards her cousin. Both of them are competing for favor in the harem. But it may also be that Xue Baochai is younger, so the emperor also came twice.
Xue Baochai was smart and seized this opportunity, and was named a talented lady. However, unless she became pregnant or became even more favored, she would remain a talented lady in her life.
After learning that Su Tong was pregnant, these two people's eyes turned red with jealousy. They used the excuse of visiting Su Tong to actually want to meet the emperor by chance and get pregnant.
Su Tong didn't care. Yuancun was so old that he didn't know if she could get pregnant. Even if she did, he didn't know if she could give birth to the baby.
The ancient times were not the same as the modern times. The production conditions in ancient times were particularly poor, and Yuan Chun was already in her thirties, which was old enough to be a grandmother in ancient times.
Xue Baochai was young and fresh, relying on her cleverness, she actually won the favor of the emperor. It was a pity that her brother always held her back. Unless Xue Baochai could get lucky and give birth to a son, she would only be a small talent in her life.
After Su Tong became pregnant, she was conferred the title of noble concubine, and the emperor even promised that he would confer her the title of consort after she gave birth to a prince.
Su Tong didn't think about competing for favor, nor did he think about fighting for the throne for his children. He just wanted to live a good life now.
But now the emperor is still young and everything is uncertain. The harem seems calm, but there have been turbulent waves underneath, not to mention the past three years. The selection is coming soon, and many young and fresh beauties will enter the palace.
However, what Su Tong did not expect was that Yuanchun was actually pregnant. But thinking about the fact that Yuanchun seemed to be pregnant in the book but did not give birth, he did not know whether she would be so lucky this time.
After Yuanchun became pregnant, the concubines in the palace mocked her for being an old clam carrying a pearl. However, the emperor was still very happy and directly promoted her to a noble lady.
Baochai's face was twisted with jealousy. She had finally climbed to the same high position as Yuanchun, but now the other party had become a noble. If she gave birth to a child, wouldn't she be above her forever?
Su Tong was never a kind-hearted person. After noticing Baochai's thoughts, he secretly helped her. Then Yuanchun died of heavy bleeding during childbirth. It was a pity that the little princess lost her mother just after she was born.
