Harem for a living

Chapter 104

"Your Majesty, you are also a noble concubine now, why go out to greet Concubine Yang? Then Concubine Yang has no children..." Jin Huan muttered unhappily while dressing up Chen Manrou. She raised her eyebrows: "Even if she has no children, she still has a higher status than me. She was the emperor's favorite when she was in the residence."

"The emperor is also very concerned about the empress now." Jin Huan was a little annoyed, Chen Manrou shook his head: "The emperor is now concerned about Xiao Si, and only then is he concerned about me."

Seeing that it's getting late, I don't intend to listen to Jin Huan's nagging: "Tuan Fan just took that beauty picture, it doesn't have to be too grand, as you said, it's just a noble concubine, Concubine De and Concubine Shu follow Concubine Yang is back, but I am not qualified to let this palace go to welcome them."

Empress Dowager Ci Ning didn't know whether she thought it was better to pass the news in the Taimiao, or that the palace was too closed, or because she wanted to see a good show in the draft. Anyway, news came suddenly yesterday that she had recovered from a serious illness and was willing to Back to Taimiao to pray.Yang Guifei and the others are useless, let the emperor send someone to take them back to the palace.

The emperor went to the palace early in the morning to personally pick up Empress Dowager Ci Ning, he didn't even enter the palace, and went directly to the Taimiao.Concubine Yang and the others entered the palace gate and needed someone to greet them. After all, this sickness was considered a great achievement.

It's just that their status is not enough, the queen will definitely not lower her self-worth to welcome them, so this matter can only be assigned to Chen Manrou.

After Chen Manrou finished dressing up, news came from outside that Concubine Yang and others had passed the Hall of Supreme Harmony, and Chen Manrou sat in the chariot. At this moment, her sedan chair has been replaced by a car, which is very safe.Just at the Jingyun Gate, they met Concubine Yang Gui and others who were returning in a car.

"I have seen Sister Yang, I haven't seen her for so long, Sister Yang is getting more and more beautiful." Chen Manrou stepped forward to salute Concubine Yang. Red lips: "I haven't seen you for so long, sister Chen is still so good at talking."

Concubine Shu and Concubine De went forward to salute Chen Manrou. Chen Manrou carefully looked at the two of them. The clothes they were wearing were okay, and they were new clothes sent by the empress.Hot springs support people, the praise of Concubine Yang Gui just now was not a lie, and now it is somewhat in line with Concubine Shu and Concubine De.

I haven't seen each other for half a year. These people are all more beautiful. Their skin is tender and pink. I really can't tell that Concubine Yang and Concubine Shu are already in their 20s.

"Sister Concubine Shu and Sister Defei, please get up quickly. You have been exhausted all the way, but it's been hard work. Although I want to catch up with you, I can't delay your rest. The two sisters should get on the bus with Sister Yang. , let’s go to pay respects to the empress first, there will be plenty of opportunities to catch up on the old days in the future.”

Chen Manrou used to be polite to Concubine Shu, but to Concubine De, as long as Concubine De was not too arrogant, she would not care about Concubine De.It's just that now, with a different status, she doesn't have to be polite anymore.It's not that she bullies others, but that she wants to think about Xiaosi.

Originally, Xiao Si had a concubine, whose status was quite high. Basically, apart from the empress's son, Xiao Si had a high status.If she hadn't been a bit stronger, instead she would have appeared weaker than Concubine Shu and the others in every way, and Xiaosi might be crushed by the second prince in the future.

She doesn't want her son to suffer this kind of grievance, what status it should be, what status it should be, you can't see your own status clearly by yourself, if you ask others to help you see it in the future, you will never have a bright day again.

Concubine Shu raised her head and glanced at Chen Manrou in surprise, then she lowered her eyes and said with a smile: "Thank you, Empress, for your understanding. I didn't expect that after so long, Empress Dowager still respects Empress as always."

Chen Manrou curled her lips, pretending not to hear the sarcasm and provocation in these words, she just raised her hand to signal, and when Concubine Yang got into the car, she didn't look at Concubine Shu and Concubine De, and followed her into her car.

When the group arrived at Yongshou Palace, the maidservant Wu Yao came out to greet her: "This servant has seen Concubine Yang, Concubine Chen, Concubine Shu, Concubine De, and Empress is waiting inside. The lady went in with the slaves."

"Thank you, Miss Wuyao." Chen Manrou nodded with a smile, and turned to look at Concubine Yang. Concubine Yang had no expression on her face and just followed Wuyao in. Chen Manrou immediately followed, followed by Concubine Shu and Concubine De.

"I've been looking forward to it day and night, and I finally brought my younger sisters back." The queen came out from the inner hall, first took Concubine Yang's hand to look at Concubine Yang, and then exclaimed: "Why is Concubine Yang so thin? How many? Could it be that someone in the palace treated Yang Guifei poorly?"

"Your Majesty is worrying too much. The concubine is here to serve the sick, not to enjoy it by herself." Concubine Yang's eyes were clear, and she took her hand to salute the queen: "My concubine pays her respects to the empress, thank you for your concern."

Concubine Shu and Concubine De followed suit, and the queen hurriedly asked them to sit down respectively, and then looked at Chen Manrou: "Isn't Concubine Chen still busy? Let's get busy for now."

Chen Manrou responded, turned and went out.As for whether the queen wants to recruit or suppress, that is not her concern.

Back to Zhongcui Palace, just after entering the door, I heard Xiaosi's crying, Chen Manrou hurried over: "What's wrong?"

"Your Majesty, His Highness the Fourth Prince woke up and didn't see you. He is losing his temper." Madam Chen hurriedly said with a smile. At this moment, Madam Zhao was coaxing the Fourth Prince in the room, and several big maids were following along with her books and paintings. Aunt Bai led Jinhuan and the others to tease Xiaosi with gadgets, and the whole group of demons danced wildly.

The corners of Chen Manrou's mouth twitched, and she went to hug Xiaosi: "What's wrong with my baby? But you miss your concubine?"

Seeing that his mother had returned, Xiaosi stretched out his hand and pulled Chen Manrou's hair, continued howling twice, and then stopped crying under Chen Manrou's gentle pat, but the teardrops were still hanging on his eyelashes, his little face was flushed from crying, It looked very pitiful.

Chen Manrou stretched out her hand and rubbed Xiaosi's tender cheeks: "You little crybaby, have you been crying for so long, are you hungry?"

He reached out and touched Xiao Si's stomach, and seeing that his stomach was still swollen, he knew that he probably had milk after waking up.So he turned his head and waved his hands to everyone: "Okay, okay, just do what you have to do, by the way, Aunt Bai, come here for a while."

Everyone dispersed, Jin Huan and Dui Yue followed Chen Manrou, Chen Manrou sat down on the beauty's couch, teased Xiaosi with the rattle next to her, and motioned for Aunt Bai to sit down too: "Aunt Bai, I said last time that we are here I will let you out of the palace in time, and I will let you go after a few days after begging the empress's grace. I just want to ask, would you like to go to Zhending Mansion?"

Aunt Bai's ultimate goal of leaving the palace is to get married. Chen Manrou also promised to find her a good family, but after all, Aunt Bai is a bit older, so she might not be so easy to find in the capital, so she might as well go to Zhending Mansion. Most of the soldiers there have no families.

Aunt Bai hesitated, she also knew what Chen Manrou meant.Seeing that she couldn't make up her mind, Chen Manrou waved her hand and said, "I will give you a few days to think about it. If you are willing, I will go to the empress. If you are not willing, I will inquire for two more days."

"Ma'am, this servant is willing." Aunt Bai gritted her teeth and said, she stood up and bowed to Chen Manrou. She knew that the master behind her could only be Chen Manrou.But in the capital city, people from Ci'an might come to his door one day, so it's better to go away and have nothing to do with Ci'an in the future.

Although the frontier is suffering, but with the Chen family covering her, she will not suffer much in the future.

Chen Manrou likes smart people the most. Seeing that Aunt Bai is very interesting, she nodded and smiled and said, "Well, Aunt Bai will clean up her belongings in the next few days, and I will have someone send you out of the palace when I turn back. In addition, I still have some Things need Aunt Bai to do it, I don't know if Aunt Bai is willing to accept this job."

"Your Majesty, please give me instructions. This servant has received your great favor. As long as it is something that this servant can do, this servant will definitely die." Aunt Bai said quickly, and Chen Manrou shook her head with a smile: "I won't ask you to die forever, You, live well to handle this matter better for the palace."

Saying that, she beckoned Aunt Bai to come closer, and said something in Aunt Bai's ear, Aunt Bai hesitated a bit: "Ma'am, is this possible?"

"You just have to do what I tell you, and don't ask too much about the rest." Chen Manrou waved her hand, and Aunt Bai had no choice but to agree: "Yes, ma'am, this servant will definitely do a good job in this matter, and I will definitely live up to my entrustment." .”

"Okay, you go back and rest." Chen Manrou signaled Aunt Bai to go back, then reached out and tapped Xiaosi's nose: "You, you have to grow up quickly so that you can share the burden for your mother."

What responded to her was Xiaosi's silly smiling face. Chen Manrou's heart softened when she saw it, and Jinhuan's heart itched while watching: "Madam, are you tired? Let the servant hug me for a while?"

"No need, is there anything going on at Cheng Zhaoyi's place recently?" Chen Manrou pushed the dim sum plate on the table away from sideways so that Xiao Si would not be able to hold her, and she went around in a circle to attract Xiao Si's attention, while answering Chen Manrou's question: " Cheng Zhaoyi has not been out of Chengqian Palace recently except to pay his respects. However, my lady and servants have discovered that in the past few days, Ding Jieyu and Li Xiuhua have been together almost every day."

"Don't worry about them. They probably aren't the only ones who are anxious about the show girls entering the palace recently." Chen Manrou curled her lips. If she guessed right, the show girls entering the palace this time, probably Li Xiuhua and Ding Jieyu, will also be promoted.

Although a few of them have no children, they have been serving the emperor since the Qiandi, and it has been more than ten years. Their seniority alone is enough to raise their ranks.

"Ma'am, it's not good, Wang Xiuyi had a miscarriage." Chen Manruan was talking to the moon with joy, and suddenly came in in a panic for joy: "Just now, Wang Xiuyi went to the imperial garden to enjoy the scenery, and when he walked to the Chengrui Pavilion , suddenly slipped, and then fell down, and saw Hong on the spot, the imperial doctor had already been there, and said that Wang Xiuyi had already had a body for more than a month, but the pulse did not show, so I didn't see it, It's a miscarriage right now."

"Chengrui Pavilion?" Chen Manrou asked back, Wei Le's brain turned quickly, and she responded immediately: "It's Chengrui Pavilion. The maid who followed Wang Xiuyi has already found something that made Wang Xiuyi wrestle. It's a few jasper beads. Because of the color The color of it is too close to that of the grass, so you can’t see it clearly when standing, but you can only see it when you lie down on the ground.”

"If I remember correctly, the Empress just said the day before yesterday that the show girls can have some activities near the Chengrui Pavilion?" You can't go to the Imperial Garden before the end, but Chengrui Pavilion is next to the Imperial Garden , It can also let the show girls relax or something.

"Your Majesty means..." Said to Yue, frowning: "But, even Wang Xiuyi doesn't know that she is pregnant, do those beautiful ladies have the ability?"

"Has the queen passed by now?" Chen Manrou didn't answer, she just tilted her head and asked Wei Le, Wei Le nodded: "When the slave girl came back, I happened to see the empress's chariot, empress, let's go and have a look ?"

"Not going for the time being, you go and watch. If Concubine Yang Guifei is gone, you will inform me again." Chen Manrou frowned and ordered, rubbing her chin. It seems that the emperor's body is quite good. It will not be long before Wang Xiuyi has a body .Well, it's not too surprising after all.

There are only a few women who come and go in the palace, and the emperor is strong and strong, and he doesn't indulge in women on weekdays. It is normal to have more children.However, did Wang Xiuyi know that she was pregnant?
