Huanxi Farm: Pick up a husband for farming

Chapter 362

Gu Chang'an gradually fell into memories, those memories that have been dusty for a long time, and all the past that no one on Fengli Mountain is willing to look back on.

Things went back to the winter of that year, when goose feathers and heavy snow fell all over the city, the capital was covered in silver everywhere, behind the towering vermilion palace walls, there was a scene of civil and military officials seizing power in the previous court, and three thousand beauties in the harem vying for favor. tragedy.

The beginning of the tragedy begins with the year when Emperor Zhengjia expanded the harem. Since Emperor Zhengjia ascended the throne, the world has been peaceful, and the weather has been smooth for many years. years.

Emperor Zhengjia couldn't care much about political affairs, the imperial examinations were held again and again, and the court was filled with talented people of their own to share his worries and problems.

These days are free, and the national treasury is considered full, so naturally the three-yearly draft is held as scheduled to select beautiful women from the families of officials to serve in the palace.

That year, one of them, Lin Zhenxian, the only daughter of the third-rank official servant of the Ministry of Rites, looked like a fairy, had a good figure, was well-known in the capital for her talent and beauty, and was called into the palace.

At that time, there was no formal selection, but Emperor Zhengjia caught a glimpse of him under the red plum tree in the palace. There was a pair of poems and books, a gifted scholar and a beautiful woman, and it was love at first sight.

When Gu Chang'an said this, Rong Shui couldn't help but interrupt, and said, "Chang'an, is this Lin Zhenxian Junli's mother, that is, the noble concubine who died tragically in your mouth?"

Gu Chang'an comforted the anxious Rong Shui and said, "Don't worry, just listen slowly and you will know."

This was a great thing. The emperor got a gentle lady, and the two still hit it off... It's just that Emperor Zhengjia was too young at that time, and he didn't have any ostentatious and careless ideas in doing things. He favored Lin Zhenxian the next day. Then she was canonized as a noble concubine.

Lin Zhenxian is gentle and elegant, and she is also considered the daughter of a wealthy family. If it is said that her family background assumes the position of imperial concubine, she may be a bit tongue-in-cheek. With so much resentment, there wouldn't be some old men in the previous dynasty who would think about it.

However, after the imperial decree came down, there was no doubt that at the age of eighteen, Lin Zhenxian was canonized as a noble concubine, second only to the queen of the middle palace, and also the only noble concubine in the palace. She was the highest-ranking concubine after the queen. Between them, it can be said that the power overshadows the sky.

Hearing this, Rong Shui thought of a sentence, since ancient times, the favor of emperors is a double-edged sword, giving you endless glory and inexhaustible wealth in front of others, while queens... bring you endless conspiracies Tricks, pitfalls and abysses.

Rong Shui has always kept a respectful distance from that vicious harem like snakes and scorpions. Fortunately, he came through time travel, and his identity is not in that place where people cannibalize.

Rong Shui couldn't help but let out a sigh of emotion, and said: "The emperor really lacked scruples at that time. He really dotes on that Lin Zhenxian, and he will definitely not push her to a place where everyone criticizes her."

Gu Chang'an sighed that Rong Shui is indeed a smart person, and he dared to speak out the shortcomings of the current sage.

He also said: "Who says it's not? But the Holy One was only enthroned back then, and the late emperor appointed him as the crown prince early in the morning. Before the late emperor passed away, he even removed all obstacles for the emperor, and sent the rest of the princes to their respective fiefs. , strictly guarded.

So the current Holy Majesty has never experienced a battle for the throne!The empress dowager also went with the first emperor, and no one was around to mention one or two things, and the world was peaceful and worry-free. Emperor Zhengjia didn't understand the dire situation in the harem!This move is like pushing Lin Zhenxian into the abyss, it's no wonder why..."

Gu Chang'an can see clearly what he saw and heard in the palace back then... Only he, an outsider who has come to this desolate hilltop, dares to speak out in front of the trusting Rong Shui, and evaluate the actions of the current Holy Majesty.

Rong Shui nodded, and Gu Changan continued to recall the past of those years.

Lin Zhenxian received three thousand honors and favors. Even though the harem was not empty at that time, she was not the only concubine who was favored. It's just that the favor lasted for a long time, which still made the queen extremely disturbed!

Empress Wuzhi was a marriage bestowed by the late emperor to the current Holy Majesty. Once the late emperor passed away, the emperor had to follow the imperial decree to marry her. It is precisely for this reason that the Holy Majesty is not very clear about Wuzhi's temperament. up.

After the two got married, they respected each other as guests, and the queen was also very capable in handling the affairs of the harem, which made the emperor trust her even more.

But...he never paid attention to Wu Zhi's character!The ancestors of the Wu family were the founding fathers of the country. She was the youngest daughter who was loved and loved at home, but she still loves to be favored by nature. At home, she often wins the favor of her parents and excludes dissident sisters and brothers. She has developed a habit of being jealous.

In the harem, not only did not change, but even worse, but it was extremely clever to hide such a character behind the dignified mother's world, the emperor never noticed it, and could only see the image created on the surface.

During the two years when Wushi was in power, she was also gradually growing up. The number of concubines in the palace who went to bed increased, which palace lady the emperor paid more attention to, and which woman he praised, all could not escape her control.

Speaking of this, even Rong Shui has noticed the horror of this Wuzhi... Such a woman, so jealous, painstakingly manages the overall situation... I don't know if it is the blessing or the disaster of Emperor Zheng Jia.

Rongshui could probably guess the rest of the story, she said to Gu Chang'an: "Lin Zhenxian is so favored, and Empress Ushi is so jealous... So, Lin Zhenxian's good days are not long, right?"

And...after listening to the conversation between Ju Zheng and Gu Chang'an, Rong Shui wondered if this queen was the "slut" they kept saying? !

So what did the queen do to Lin Zhenxian...to make Ju Zheng and Gu Chang'an feel so shameless, and even utter insults?
Gu Chang'an said: "Rong Shui, you are really smart. I can't tell half of what I said, so I guess you can guess it all."

Rong Shui is embarrassed to tell him that this plot can be found everywhere in modern TV dramas and novels. I used to read those things just because I thought they were bloody and boring, but I really put this kind of thing by my side, and put it on Junli, whom I love. , she... just feels unclear, for the sorrow of the women in the harem under the rule of this feudal dynasty.

Gu Changan still did what he said, and continued to talk about the following things. It was exactly as Rong Shui guessed, day after day, year after year, the emperor's favor for Lin Zhenxian remained undiminished. There was news that she was pregnant, but how could Queen Wuzhi just ignore it.

It was said before that she has been running the palace for many years, controlling all the affairs in the palace, and the concubines knew the first time they were pregnant that it wasn't even themselves, but her.

No matter who is pregnant, she will consider at her discretion whether to stay or go. This consideration has many considerations, including whether this concubine is one of her subordinates, whether the family has any interests with her own family, and she is in the emperor's position. The position in the heart and other factors.

It is no exaggeration to say that in the early days of Emperor Zhengjia, Empress Wushi was in power, covering the sky with one hand, and had as many heirs as the emperor wanted.

Smacking her tongue, this Empress Wushi's level of arrogance is amazing, is it unique throughout the ages?The troubles in the harem cannot escape her eyes... So, what kind of twists and turns did Junli go through to escape her persecution?
Rong Shui asked, "Is the child conceived by Lin Zhenxian Junli?"

Gu Chang'an said: "That's not the case... If this child is born, there will be nothing left."

The queen only knew about Lin Zhenxian's pregnancy at the beginning of two months. How could she tolerate her beloved concubine and give birth to an heir?And it was Lin Zhenxian who was second only to her in status. Previously, most of the concubines who were pregnant and still waiting for delivery in the palace were weak concubines who were not very favored by the emperor.

So Lin Zhenxian took the child away unknowingly. After Lin Zhenxian knew that she was pregnant, it was time for a miscarriage. Because she drank the miscarriage medicine given by the queen, she had unbearable abdominal pain and called the imperial doctor to coax her into saying it was urgent. Abdominal symptoms, but Lin Zhenxian didn't believe it. After noticing foreign objects coming out of her lower body, she found out that she had been aborted after she found a private doctor.

The doctor was discovered by the empress, she dealt with it secretly, and even accused Lin Zhenxian of privately meeting private men. Fortunately, the emperor believed in Lin Zhenxian, so he didn't blame him, but his love for him has declined since then.

However, Lin Zhenxian's body was injured because of the miscarriage, and it was difficult to conceive a child again, and she was depressed.

Three years later, seeing that the concubines in the palace gave Emperor Zhengjia two daughters, but they still didn't get a prince, they couldn't understand it.

But I don't know that there is Empress Wushi who holds the lifeline and controls the entire imperial hospital. If there is any sign of a male fetus in the womb of the concubine, it will be eliminated quickly. Even if it is not seen during pregnancy, the child will definitely die when it is born. of.

Such methods only instill fear in people, so that Emperor Zhengjia's heirs are meager.

At this time, Lin Zhenxian realized that she might be pregnant. After learning the lesson from the previous time, even the imperial physician did not dare to tell her.

After preaching here, even Rong Shui was very nervous, for fear that the child in Lin Zhenxian's womb would fall into the hands of Queen Wuzhi again.

Gu Chang'an looked at her and said, "Hehe... Are you very nervous, girl Rong? Listen to me slowly."

Fortunately, with the blessing of the heavens, after Lin Zhenxian became pregnant, she claimed to cultivate her body and mind, and she could not serve guests at bedtime or even greet her regularly, so she hid in the dormitory every day like this, only seeing the two servant girls and the eunuch who were serving her closely, she was safe Spent pregnancy in October.

Finally, when it was the day of delivery, the noble concubine asked the emperor to accompany the delivery. The emperor also took pity on the former noble concubine. Under such circumstances, he chose to trust the noble concubine and agreed to her request.

Hearing this, Rong Shui became very anxious, she wanted to know if Lin Zhenxian gave birth to a prince this time.
