Climb High Branches

Tong Anyi is the adopted daughter picked up by the Tong family. She comes from a family of merchants, and she is rich when she is rich, but she is at the bottom of the ranks of scholars, peasants, and merchants. Mr. Tong tried his best to send his son to Beijing to take the exam. Mrs. Tong tried her best to curry favor with her aunt's in-laws and brought her three daughters to Beijing to find a good marriage. After Tong's mother chose her eldest daughter to be a young master from a noble family, and her second daughter to a general's house, she chose Tong Anyi to be a concubine next to the eldest son of the Hou family. She said: "An Yi, you are an adopted daughter, and your status is not as noble as your two sisters. The only thing you can do anything about is your face. If the young master of the Hou Mansion can take you into the backyard, it will be considered a blessing for you." The implication is that after raising her for more than ten years, it is time for her to work hard for the Tong family and seek glory. The Tong family didn't treat her well, but they weren't bad either. In order to repay their kindness, Tong Anyi wore light clothes on a rainy night, and passed out in an embrace filled with cold fragrance on the way that the young master of the Hou Mansion had to go back to his room. Afterwards, she would be taken out of the house by the young master of the Hou Mansion from time to time, and he would also buy her a house outside the house, so Tong Anyi understood that her status was too low to be a concubine, so she could only be a concubine. It's okay to use it as an outer room. There are countless silver flowers, and you can sleep until the sun rises. You don't have to look at the mistress's face, so you can live a comfortable life. But when the two sisters of the Tong family married into a well-known family, they laughed at her in a weird way at every banquet. People in the capital spread the news that she, Tong Anyi, was an adopted daughter after all, a humble and low-born daughter who was happy to be someone else's wife. With an imperial edict, she entered the palace and was named a noble concubine. When she entered the palace and met the emperor, who had always been cold and desolate, but seemed to be a different person only when he was on the bed, she suddenly realized that on that rainy night, she had thrown herself into the arms of the wrong person. No wonder he always bit her when she called him Brother Pei at night. On the night of the concubine's concubine, when the golden tent was getting warm, he hugged her and whispered in her ear: "If you want to climb a high branch, you must climb the highest, so that I can protect you."
