After entering the palace, the Qianjin Zhou Shuhui of the Rebbe Waiter's family was depressed and unhappy, and he frowned all day long, saying that once he entered the palace, he was as deep as the sea, there was no freedom, and he could no longer meet his family, even if he was rich and prosperous, he was just a bird raised in a golden cage, what was the fun?
In fact, the emperor treated her not thinly, as soon as he entered the palace, he sealed the Zhaorong of Zheng Erpin, and there were always a few days a month to turn over her brand and come to her palace to be served by her.
However, although Zhou Shuhui did not dare to be cold to the emperor, but he did not play a spiritual song to greet her, for a long time, the emperor naturally faded to her, and there were many beautiful concubines invited in the palace, so why bother to see the cold face of Leng Meiren without a smile? Moreover, Zhou Shuhui is not very beautiful, just Qingxiu.
Zhou Shuhui had not yet accompanied her into the palace, and the spring warbler was beautiful, nor was the spring warbler happy. The spring warbler's eyebrows are like early spring willow leaves, and the face is like a March peach blossom, which is very beautiful, and has a lively personality, happy like a small magpie.
Since entering the palace, the spring warbler has seen everything fresh, the palace is golden and brilliant, the white jade balustrade glazed tiles, the palace que loutai carved railing fragrant, the orchid flower window gold decoration, the bead inlay, everything is so beautiful.
The lively and cute spring warbler couldn't understand why the young lady didn't like to be a concubine, why didn't she like the palace? What a good thing it is to be the woman of the emperor and to be the first woman in the world.
Chunying was very fond of life in the palace, but looking at the sullen look of the young lady, she did not dare to act too happy. In order to make the young lady happy, she took the lady's white jade handle and gold silk fan to the royal garden to catch butterflies, but she did not expect to catch butterflies, but met the emperor.
Chunying was shocked, sincerely prostrating herself on the ground, her trembling body like a flower branch was very chuchu and moving, the emperor could not help but be moved, so he looked at her with a smile and said: "Very beautiful and beautiful, a beautiful picture of butterflies!" ”
That night, the emperor spoiled the spring warbler. The spring warbler made the whole body unravel, feminine and joyful, and the beauty between the beds made the emperor confused and very happy. The next day, Chunying was named a talented person, left the young lady Zhou Shuhui, whom she had served since childhood, and had her own palace residence.
Zhou Shuhui lamented with a willow eyebrow, Chunying was really unfortunate and had become the emperor's concubine. But Chunying was proud of the spring breeze, and there was no sense of sadness at all, and Zhou Shuhui was very puzzled.
A year later, Chunying gave birth to a son, the first son of the Emperor, and the Emperor Longxin was overjoyed, and immediately crowned Chunying as Zheng Erpin's Chongyuan, sitting on an equal footing with her former master Zhou Shuhui. Although the emperor was young, but twenty-eight years old, he also had several children, but they all died prematurely, and only the empress and the concubine had one daughter each.
In fact, the emperor wanted to give Chunying a concubine, but the concubine position was full, and Chunying's origin was too low, just a slave of the official's family.
Unconsciously, after ten years, the spring warbler has been favored by the emperor, and its status has been repeatedly promoted, until it has been promoted to a noble concubine. There are some people in the palace who are younger than the spring warblers, and there are also some who are more beautiful than the spring warblers, but the emperor likes the spring warblers because she is understanding and charming.
Chunying chunfeng was proud and felt that she was like Yang Guifei of the Tang Dynasty, "There are three thousand beautiful ladies in the palace, and three thousand pets are in one." ”
And Chunying's former master Zhou Shuhui was frustrated, from the time she entered the palace was Zhaorong, ten years later it was still Zhaorong, never promoted the title, and she was snubbed by the emperor for many years, and the emperor did not summon Zhou Shuhui to sleep once a few years. Zhou Shuhui's palace doorway was snubbed, it was really "jade is not as good as the jackdaw color, like the shadow of the Sun of Zhaoyang".
After the empress's death, the emperor wanted to make Chunying empress, and the empress, the clan and the ministers all strongly opposed it. The reason is that Chunying was born too low, and was sold into the Zhou family as a slave since childhood, and he didn't even know what his surname was, so he could only follow the Zhou family name Zhou. There were two concubines in the palace with the surname Zhou, one was Zhou Guifei Chunying and the other was Zhou Zhaorong Shuhui.
The emperor simply did not establish an empress, and the harem was managed by Zhou Guifei Chunying, who was shaped like an empress. Chunying thought, although the emperor has added several sons, but his son is the eldest son, and he is so favored, sooner or later his son will become the prince, and in the future, when his son becomes the emperor, he will be the empress dowager, so why fight for a moment and offend the current empress? Therefore, Chunying is not in a hurry to force the emperor to become an empress, and the emperor praises Chunying for being gentle and sensible.
It's just that Chunying thinks that she is from a low birth and feels unhappy, she knows that she has a nickname in the palace called "Maid Concubine", her origin is not even as good as Zhao Feiyan and Wei Zifu of the Han Dynasty, at least the people are the slaves of the princess family, and she is a slave of the little waiter's family.
Chunying bit her lip and thought hatefully that as long as Zhou Shuhui lived, others would never forget that she was a slave of the Zhou family.
Ever since Chunying assisted in managing the Sixth Palace, Zhou Shuhui's treatment had become worse and worse every day. Zhou Shuhui, who was originally snubbed by the emperor, had a bad life, the eunuch palace women all looked down on her, and after Chunying assisted in managing the sixth palace, Zhou Shuhui's life was even more difficult, eating cold rice and steamed vegetables, no charcoal in winter, no ice cubes in summer, monthly money was always harshly deducted, and the lowest-level concubines in the palace were stronger than her.
However, Zhou Shuhui, who was born from Miss Qianjin, was able to live through this hard life and has always lived strongly, not only did not die, but studied Buddhist scriptures, copied scriptures every day, and had a calm mind, like a person outside the world.
Chunying wants Zhou Shuhui to die quickly, so she will not let Zhou Shuhui pass the life of an outsider, she has a way to interfere with Zhou Shuhui's tranquility. Soon after, Zhou Shuhui's father, Zhou Shilang, was accused of corruption and imprisoned.
Zhou Shuhui panicked and went to ask the emperor, who did not see her at all. In desperation, Zhou Shuhui could only come to ask Chunying ------ former personal maid, today's favored concubine.
Chunying wore a golden pearl phoenix crown, wore a gilded hundred-son durian palace dress of the nine phoenixes, sat on a chair with gold peiyu, and saw Zhou Shuhui kneeling on the ground crying and weeping, and there was an indescribable happiness in her heart. Zhou Shuhui's dresses are very worn and thin, and there is no jewelry on the bun, a shabby look.
The royal incense on the main hall is ethereal, the palace eunuchs stand on both sides, and the spring warbler phoenix eyes are loose, slowly standing up, sorting out their sideburns in the bronze mirror, and the mirror is graceful and luxurious, feminine and moving. Chunying smiled and said to Zhou Shuhui, "You said that your father has never been corrupt, but you have been staying in the palace all these years, how do you know that your father is not corrupt?" ”
Zhou Shuhui trembled and said, "My father has always been upright, and he will not do corrupt things." ”
"Everyone will say that they are loyal, and everyone will say that they will not be corrupt and bribe-takers." The spring warbler tilted the corner of her mouth and said dismissively, the emerald steps on her golden pearl phoenix crown swayed slightly with her proud body. The palace eunuchs around her all looked at Zhou Shuhui, who was kneeling on the ground, with joy.
"Noble Concubine Niangniang grew up in my parents, and she should know my father's character." Zhou Shuhui was anxious not to say anything.
Chunying hated it most when people mentioned that she was a slave in the Zhou family, and when she heard this, she couldn't help but be furious, and she was so angry that she opened her eyes and said viciously: "According to the view of this palace, your father must be corrupt, waiting for the family to be beheaded." ”
Zhou Shuhui realized that he had said the wrong thing, crawled to the feet of Chunying, and said with tears on his face: "Ask The noble concubine To save my father's life, I wish to repay you in the next life!" ”
Chun Ying raised an eyebrow, smiled sinisterly, and said, "Don't use it to repay the world, you can just repay it in this life." You live in the palace, and others say that the palace has been your maid, and the palace really doesn't like it. Do you understand what Hongu means? ”
"The slave maid understands that she only asked Niangniang to save my father, and I decided to do it myself." Zhou Shuhui knelt on the ground and said with tears.
"Okay, you kneel down, Hongu is a little tired." The spring warbler said lazily, and the ruby-encrusted gold pendant on the ear shone brightly. Looking at the former master begging for himself, and also calling himself a slave, Chunying was proud in his heart, and felt that he was really raising his eyebrows.
Back in his palace, Zhou Shuhui committed suicide with a three-foot white silk hanging beam.
Hearing the news of Zhou Shuhui's death, Chunying smiled heartily. However, Zhou Shuhui's father, Zhou Shilang, was still beheaded for corruption, and the Zhou family was exiled to Lingnan.
Chunying really looked down on Zhou Shuhui's stupidity, and when she entered the palace, she didn't think about how to invite favors and win power and glory and wealth, but she thought that it was not good to enter the palace and frowned, and in the end she lost her life.
It was not accidental that the spring warbler fluttered butterflies to meet the emperor, but the little eunuch next to the emperor who she paid for bribes, knew that the emperor was going to pass by here, so she waited for the emperor here and pretended to be the delicate appearance of the butterflies. Of course, the money she used to bribe the eunuch was stolen from Zhou Shuhui.
As a slave maid, Chunying had never thought about the young lady, only for herself. Since you can't get freedom, it's better to get rich. The poorer the person, the more he longs for riches.
Shortly after Zhou Shuhui's death, Chunying's eldest son died of a typhoid illness, and it was rumored in the palace that he had been killed by Zhou Shuhui. Chunying was sad to lose her son, and was frightened by the rumors in the palace, and she fell ill with madness, and the emperor was also overly sad and died soon after.
The throne was inherited by the second son of the emperor, whose biological mother died early, and the second son of the emperor was raised by his grandmother. Because the emperor's second son was young, the empress dowager bowed to the government.
The empress dowager was originally from an official family, and she had long seen that the spring warbler from the slave maid was not pleasing to the eye, and she ordered the investigation of the crime of the spring warbler. Chunying colluded with foreign officials to frame Zhou Shilang and force Zhou Zhaorong to die, and the empress dowager was furious and deposed Chunying as a shuren and sent her to the Cold Palace.
Since then, the crazy chunying has lived in the cold palace, living a life of insufficient food and clothing, and died of illness two or three years later, and she thought that she was still a noble concubine until her death.
