Harem for a living

Chapter 106

Concubine Shu's two requests are quite reasonable, even if they are unreasonable, it must be reasonable with the hat of servant.Besides, even if the queen refused to agree and found a reason to prevaricate, concubine Shu could still talk to the emperor about this matter. The emperor didn't want to see concubine Shu, but he still loved the second prince who suffered innocently.At that time, she will definitely agree to Concubine Shu because of the second prince.

Therefore, the queen didn't think about it for long, she just nodded and replied: "I know, Yikun Palace won't arrange people to live in it for the time being, but Concubine Shu should arrange a good manpower earlier to clean up the side hall, Maybe it will come in handy at some point, and Concubine Shu won't make any other excuses when the time comes."

"My concubine understands, thank you empress for your understanding." Concubine Shu saluted the empress, and then left with the army.

When Chen Manrou returned to Zhongcui Palace, she couldn't help but sighed first, now that it's all over, her plan can't be carried out.Without concubine Shu standing in front of him, it would be difficult for him to tell the queen that Xiaosi was too young, and Zhongcui Palace was not suitable for people to enter.

Concubine Liu does have a second princess, but the second princess has passed her first birthday anyway, and Concubine Liu's status is not too high, so the possibility of this matter is greatly reduced.The third prince is even more useless, he lives in the Palace of Compassion and Ning.The eldest prince and the eldest princess are the empress' backs. Even if they can find a way to use them, Chen Manrou will never use them. She can't go against the empress at this moment.

what to do?Really let others live in Zhongcui Palace?Or, tell us in advance to let Qi Mei people move in?But although Qi Meiren looks very obedient now, who knows what will happen in the future, people's hearts are changeable, she can't afford to bet.

Chen Manrou was a little annoyed, she didn't let others live in Zhongcui Palace, firstly for Xiaosi's safety, and secondly to keep herself from feeling sick.If people live in, it means that the emperor will pamper people in her palace, and she is afraid that she will be too disgusting, and she will have a rebellious mentality about having sex with the emperor.That is fatal, so no matter whether it is possible or not, it must be put an end to it now.

But, how on earth can we prevent people from entering our Zhongcui Palace?

"Your Majesty, if there is no room in our Zhongcui Palace, the Emperor and Empress will definitely not allow people to live in." Seeing that Chen Manrou was extremely depressed, he muttered to himself: "Mother, this slave has a way, Would you like to listen to it?"

Although Jinhuan's ideas have always been unreliable, at this moment, Chen Manrou really has no choice but to nod listlessly: "Talk about it first, if it is possible, I can solve a problem for Bengong. Big problem."

"If we want our Zhongcui Palace to stay empty, we have to find someone to live in, but you don't like concubines, so let's let someone who is not a concubine live here. Madam, you must not remember, Concubine Yang just entered the palace before. When I was young, because I was not familiar with the life in the palace, I invited the sisters from my natal family to be my companions."

Chen Manrou's eyes lit up, and she immediately considered the feasibility of this matter.If it is a young girl, it is definitely not allowed to enter the palace.The emperor is not a perverted uncle, so there is no need to worry that the emperor will do something.And if the house of Zhongcui Palace is occupied, the queen will not be able to drive people away.

If you use the time to come to the draft first, you will have an extra month to continue to think of ways.

"The Chen family doesn't have children of the right age." Chen Manrou was happy about this method for a while, and then she became a little depressed: "My little nephew is still too young, so my sister-in-law might not be relieved."

"Young lady, have you forgotten? There is a six-year-old cousin in the Zhao family." Jin Huan then reminded, Chen Manrou frowned, she trusted the tutor of her grandfather's family, she was only a six-year-old child, said Sensible is also very sensible, and sometimes it is difficult to say that you are not sensible.

It would be fine if he was two or three years old, but if he got into trouble, he could use his young age to excuse him.But five or six-year-olds are not easy to deal with. If something happens and one is not handled well, wouldn't he be double-faced and inhuman?

"It's a bit too obvious." After a pause, Chen Manrou said weakly. Now she suddenly went to tell the queen that she wanted to take her little cousin to live in the palace for a while. There are people living in Zhongcui Palace, so don't force people to come here.

There's nothing she can do about it, it's the best she can think of.

In the evening, the emperor turned over Yang Guifei's signboard. Chen Manrou had something on her mind and couldn't sleep, so she simply walked around the courtyard.How can we prevent the emperor or queen from filling the Zhongcui Palace with people?
Wanfo, let the show girls live in Yinghua Palace.

"Ma'am, there's news from the Chen family that the second young master has returned to Beijing." Chen Manrou didn't fall asleep until the middle of the night, and fell asleep after returning home after a drowsy greeting early in the morning.I only got up in the afternoon and was washing when I heard Xiaoxizi talking cheerfully in the yard.

Chen Manrou regained her spirits in an instant: "Come in quickly, what's going on? What did the family say? When did the second brother arrive in the capital?"

"Ma'am, it's just a coincidence. Today, I was planning to go to the Imperial Garden to pick some big water lilies. Later, I met a guard who looked familiar. I went up to chat for a few words. Only then did I know, but the elder The water rushed to the Dragon King Temple, and the guard was famous in Mr. Chen's college. Sometimes he would go to attend lectures and practice, and then he told the little one that Mr. Chen was in class yesterday, and suddenly Seeing that someone from the Chen residence came to report the news, the old man was overjoyed immediately, and the class was over, so he led the people back to the residence."

"Then they found out the news?" Chen Manrou hurriedly asked, and Xiao Xizi nodded repeatedly: "Well, I guess the Chen House will send someone to deliver the news in a while, Madam, wait a moment, today is really a good day."

"Okay, okay, Xiao Xizi, you made a great contribution today." Chen Manrou happily asked Jinhuan to give Xiao Xizi a purse. She and her younger brother hadn't seen each other for more than three years, and she didn't know if his younger brother had changed his appearance.

For the next half a day, Chen Manrou was restless, and from time to time, she would send someone to the gate of the palace to see if someone from the Chen family was passing a sign.

When it was almost Shenshi, I saw a nanny coming, and the one behind that nanny was her sister-in-law Dong Chunni?
"Sister-in-law, I heard that little brother is back?" Chen Manrou hurried up to meet her. Dong Chunni smiled and patted Chen Manrou's hand, nodded, then saluted in a proper manner, and then followed Chen Manrou into the room.

"Sister-in-law, is little brother okay? How is his spirit? Has he lost a lot of weight?" Chen Manrou asked repeatedly, and Dong Chunni hurriedly stroked her back: "Mother, slow down, listen to my wife tell you one by one, It's still early, let's not rush."

Chen Manrou nodded vigorously, and Dong Chunni said: "Little brother is in good shape, he is as tall as Huai Jin, and he is in good spirits. He woke up early this morning, and even tried a set of sword skills and competed with his grandfather." Twice. However, the sun in Zhending Mansion is relatively bright, and my younger brother is a little darker than Huaijin. When I got home yesterday, I asked my sister-in-law first, and then I went to say hello to my grandparents."

Dong Chunni said what she thought of, she almost told everything about Chen Huaijing from entering the door yesterday until now.

Chen Manrou's eyes were sour, and she couldn't help shedding tears when she thought of how mischievous she and her younger brother were when they were at home in the early years, and let the elder brother follow behind to clean up the mess.I'm afraid there will be no chance for such a day in the future.

"Sister-in-law, don't be sad." Dong Chunni quickly took the handkerchief to comfort Chen Manrou: "It's still my uncle who knows my sister-in-law, knowing what I said today, my sister-in-law will definitely be sad, so I asked me to bring some things for my sister-in-law. "

As she said that, she pulled out a bamboo basket from behind, and Chen Manrou realized that she was only focusing on dragging her sister-in-law to talk, but she didn't realize that she was carrying such a big frame behind her.

Opening the top cover to reveal the contents, Chen Manrou couldn't help laughing again. The little wooden horse inside was the one that she and her younger brother used to tease Mr. Li's son when she was six years old. ?A small wooden horse was exchanged for a ruby ​​the size of an egg.Although the eldest brother later sent a jade pendant of about the same value, the ruby ​​belonged to her completely.

However, that Trojan horse has long belonged to Mr. Li, and this one must have been made by the younger brother himself later.There is also the younger brother's name on it, and I don't know how long I have practiced, but this Trojan horse looks quite delicate.

Crying and laughing, Chen Manrou finally vented.Then, under Dong Chunni's persuasion, she stopped her tears and ordered Xiangyue to take all the things in the bamboo basket to Xiaosi. It was obvious at a glance that these things were for children, and she couldn't embezzle her own son. toys.

"Sister-in-law, uncle brought someone with him when he came back." Seeing that Chen Manrou finally stopped crying, Dong Chunni breathed a sigh of relief, and quickly changed the topic. Chen Manrou immediately widened her eyes: "What, you brought someone with you? What? People? Men or women?"

"Look at what my aunt said, how could my uncle be that impolite?" Dong Chunni laughed out loud, and Chen Manrou was also a little embarrassed: "I was too nervous, so who did the little brother bring back?"

"It's a little girl of seven or eight years old. Her parents both died on the battlefield." Dong Chunni didn't dare to make a joke, so she hurriedly explained the situation clearly.Although there have been no major wars at the border in the past two years, there have always been a few small fights.

The little girl's surname is Niu, and her father is a city defender.That day, when it was her father's turn to guard the city gate, her mother went to deliver food at noon, it was very unfortunate that the Khitan people appeared at that moment.So both father and mother died at the gate of the city.

The little girl was so pitiful, she had no relatives at such a young age, and there was no elder in the family. Father Chen looked at her a little pitifully, so he took her back to the mansion.Originally, she planned to recognize a daughter-in-law or something, but she was in a hurry at the Zhending Mansion, so Chen Huaijing was brought back to the capital first.

It is said that the old man and the old lady will have a look at it first, and if they are willing, they will hold a bigger ceremony to formally recognize it.

When Dong Chunni finished speaking, Chen Manrou's eyes were like a cat that has been hungry for three days seeing a fish, and they started to glow green.This is really dozing off and someone will give you a pillow, God really treats her well.
