Harem for a living

Chapter 125

Hearing the sound getting closer, Chen Manrou turned her head to look at Qiuyue who was standing on the other side: "Who is that shouting outside? Just let it go like this? The rules of Jingren Palace are one thing, and Sister Yang's reputation is probably not the same." Will there be any hindrance?"

Qiuyue was stunned, and hurriedly saluted: "Thank you, Concubine Chen Guifei, for reminding me, this servant will order someone to deal with it."

As he said that, he called two little maids at the door, gave some instructions in a low voice, and then came back to continue serving Chen Manrou.And the shouting in the yard disappeared after a while, and the yard was completely silent, as if the shouting had never appeared.

"Sister Chen, why do you want to come to this palace today, Jingren Palace?" Someone next to him opened the curtain, and Concubine Yang came out wearing a fragrant apricot-colored slanted-front jacket and a silver-red twelve-piece magpie climbing plum skirt. Turn around, looked at Chen Manrou and smiled.

"My sister is greedy, and suddenly wanted to drink maple dew tea a few days ago, but the best place for maple dew tea in the harem is Jingren Palace, so I had to have the cheek to visit." The two sides greeted each other, Chen Manrou Sit on the guest seat.

Concubine Yang raised her sleeves and covered her mouth with a smile: "I thought Sister Chen had something to do, it turned out it was for a cup of maple dew tea, nothing else, this palace has a lot of maple dew tea, since Sister Chen mentioned Now that she's out, my sister won't hide it anymore. Chunhua, go and get that maple dew tea."

Chunhua took the order and went, Chen Manrou said expectantly: "My sister is really generous, and my sister will take advantage of her today."

"It's just a few cups of maple dew tea." Concubine Yang said with a nonchalant smile, "Sister Chen never goes out of Zhongcui Palace in the past, and even this palace, Jingren Palace, has only been here a few times. He is considered a rare visitor, since he is a rare visitor, he must serve good tea."

"My sister has always been favored, and my younger sister didn't dare to come to Jingren Palace in the past." Listening to Concubine Yang's words, Chen Manrou didn't go around in circles, and only asked Jin Huan to bring up the gift: "I heard that Sister Yang's direct sister is engaged. Dear, how can my sister not come to join in the excitement of such a big event, so that I can feel happy?"

Chen Manrou opened the box she sent with a smile, and there was only a set of jewelry in it: "This is a mere gift, even if it is to add makeup to Sister Yang's younger sister, please don't be disgusted by Sister Yang."

"You have such thoughts, I am very pleasantly surprised." Seeing that it was not a big deal, Concubine Yang no longer tried to test it deliberately, and the application on her face relaxed a little, and she signaled Qiuyue to come over and put away the jewelry in the box Down.

"Sister Yang is so lucky. Your direct sister is going to marry General Meng, right? I heard that General Meng is very young and promising. He is only 24 years old this year, and he is already a fourth-rank general." Chen Manrou's own father, now He is already forty, and he is just a general of the third rank.

"Where there is, he is just armed." Listening to Chen Manrou's praise of her brother-in-law, Concubine Yang Gui was very happy, with a bit of joy in her eyes: "My younger sister likes to dance with guns and sticks since she was a child. Marrying a The military commander just took advantage of her thoughts."

"That's really a match made in heaven." Chen Manrou continued with a smile and said, "It's just that General Meng is guarding the west? If Lingmei is married, won't she be out of the capital for a long time?"

"The west side is very calm, unlike the Zhending Mansion, where we are always worried about Khitan people coming." Concubine Yang said with a bit of pride, Chen Manrou's father was guarding the Zhending Mansion in the north. Compared with the west, that area is indeed very difficult. In case of war, it is not uncommon for them not to return to Beijing for several years.

Before Chen Manrou entered the palace, the father of the Chen family had even stayed at the border for eight years.

Chen Manrou acted as if she didn't hear the show off in Concubine Yang's words, and only slowly went around in circles. However, Concubine Yang had been tempered in the palace for ten years, although she might not be very smart on weekdays, But that was only about meeting the emperor.

Once she had nothing to do with the emperor, her ingenuity was revealed. After going around a few circles, Chen Manrou found out only a few words.

"Ma'am, Ma Jieyu's things have been packed." Concubine Yang soon became impatient and glanced at Dongmei. Dongmei went out for a while, and then someone came in to report to Concubine Yang.Concubine Yang looked at Chen Manrou apologetically: "Sister Chen, look, I really like you to come and sit here, but it's just an unfortunate coincidence."

"Sister Yang is warm and hospitable, but my sister has forgotten the time!" Chen Manrou was also slightly annoyed, and hurriedly got up to leave: "I'm really sorry for letting my sister deal with business. Since my sister has something to do, then go and deal with it yourself. My sister should go back now."

"Then sister won't see you off." Concubine Yang Guifei didn't say any polite words, she just sent Chen Manrou to the door of the house, and when she saw Chen Manrou walking into the yard, she snorted softly and walked towards the side hall: "Ma Jieyu What about that bitch?"

"Returning to your mother, Ma Jieyu is still fainting right now." Qiuyue whispered, and Concubine Yang sneered: "Wake up that bitch, I have something to ask."

Chen Manrou left Jingren Palace and didn't take a car, but walked slowly towards Zhongcui Palace. Jinhuan and Duiyue followed her, seeing her thinking about something, she didn't dare to disturb her, and just paid attention to the situation in front of her. Road, don't let her bump into something.

"Forget it, things are still far away, and it's useless to think about it now." When she was approaching Zhongcui Palace, Chen Manrou suddenly laughed. She only thought that Concubine Yang's father was the admiral of the Nine Gates, and General Meng was the admiral. General Bianguan, with these two combined, it is estimated that there will be no place for other generals to survive, so I hurried to inquire about the news.

Although Concubine Yang Guifei didn't reveal much just now, it was still rewarding.For example, the age of this General Meng, the reputation of this General Meng, the family of this General Meng and so on.

Although these two families are considered to be a strong alliance, but because of their respective identities, I am afraid that this powerful alliance will not be a good thing for the emperor.

I was too eager to think of this.

"Your Majesty, the slaves saw that the two maids who served Ma Jieyu were taken away by Eunuch Qin." Seeing that Chen Manrou was no longer in a state of wandering, she hurried to tell what she saw.

"Really? The people under Ma Jieyu's subordinates really should be changed." Chen Manrou didn't ask, Ma Jieyu probably would have been worse off than dead when she arrived in Jianfu Palace, without her children, without her holy favor, and then Coupled with the hatred and disgust of Concubine Yang Gui, it is estimated that there will be another corpse in the palace in a short time.

"Ma'am, the fourth prince called for someone just now." As soon as she entered the Zhongcui Palace, Nanny Chen came over happily and said, Chen Manrou was stunned for a moment, and then she was overjoyed: "Really? What did you call? Where is Xiaosi now?"

After walking two steps, he suddenly turned his head and frowned: "Xiao Si is only eight months old now? Will he call someone at eight months?"

Nanny Chen quickly explained: "Children are quicker to shout. Generally speaking, those who are smarter can do it in seven or eight months, but if they want to talk, they probably have to be one or two years old. Right now, the little prince is will shout a word."

Chen Manrou nodded, and walked into the room with two steps. The fourth prince was crawling on the bed. When he saw Chen Manrou, he opened his hand happily: "Ah, ah!"

"My dear baby, please listen to me, mother." Chen Manrou hurried over to hug Xiaosi, but Xiaosi didn't look at her, and turned around to grab the toys on the table. Chen Manrou turned her body to block his hand: "No, no Toy, shout quickly."

"Come on, Xiao Si, tell mother, mother~" Turning Xiao Si's body around, let him face her, stand on her lap, and slowly induce with a smile, Xiao Si opened her mouth: "Ah, ah ,what."

"No, it's mother, come on, mother~" Chen Manrou was very patient, no matter what happened to Xiao Si, she corrected her.On weekdays, the nanny also taught Xiao Si to call mother and father from time to time, so Xiao Si reacted quickly. After Chen Manrou repeated it five or six times, she finally shouted a bit like: "Cool."

"It's not Liang, it's mother." Chen Manrou continued to correct, Xiao Si jumped up and down: "Pinch."

"Mother!" Seeing that Chen Manrou was about to reach out to pinch his nose, Xiao Si smiled and yelled again, Chen Manrou was stunned, and kissed Xiao Si's cheek fiercely: "Mother's good son, I can finally shout clearly."

"Come on, yell again." Xiaosi also went to kiss Chen Manrou with a smile, and Jinhuan was also very happy with Yue and the others. He stopped aside and said with a smile: "Madam, the fourth prince will call people, after that is Didn't you want to teach him to call him Father?"

Chen Manrou paused, then nodded: "Well, from now on, we will focus on this teaching first, and the queen mother will also teach it."

When it comes to this, Chen Manrou is very depressed. There are not one or two giants in the palace. Apart from the father, the queen, and the queen, there is also the emperor's grandmother. It is difficult to learn two words, let alone these three words.She had to thank Concubine Hu, otherwise, Empress Dowager Ci'an would have a hard time handling it.

Two months is a short period of time, and when Xiao Si can finally call out the word "Father Emperor" clearly, it's time for Xiao Si to catch up.

When almost everyone arrived, Chen Manrou personally hugged Xiaosi, who was wearing a big red envelope, and put it on the blanket. On the blanket were all kinds of weekly supplies, and Xiaosi sat on the booth with her mouth grinning. Smile at Chen Manrou.

"Son, take what you like." Chen Manrou bowed and stood aside and said, the queen smiled and shook her head: "You stand here, but it will affect Xiao Si's grasp of Zhou, come and stand by Ben Gong, Xiao Si don't worry, choose carefully. Pick, take whatever you like."

The emperor also stood on the side, nodding with a smile: "Little Si is quite strong, Concubine Chen Guifei has raised the child very well."

Chen Manrou hurriedly humbled, saying that it was the emperor's good genes, not her own credit.Seeing that those who usually hugged her would ignore her at this moment, Xiaosi became a little anxious, sat on the stall for a while, and shouted crisply: "Father!"

"Hey." The emperor quickly agreed. He was very surprised by the one-year-old white and fat little four. Chen Manrou saw the gloomy eyes of Concubine Yang next to him, and said quickly: "Your Majesty, don't answer him, and delay the afternoon. The auspicious time will be missed."

The emperor also took a few steps back. Seeing that no one was paying attention to him, Xiao Si simply turned his head to look at the other side and crawled away. When he turned around, he found many small things behind him, all of which were quite strange.Looking at it again, ouch, there is a familiar one. After taking this thing by myself on weekdays, my mother will reward Xiangxiang with one and all kinds of delicious things!

So, as soon as Xiao Si's eyes lit up, he quickly went towards that thing, and the person from the etiquette department next to him quickly shouted: "Congratulations to the fourth prince for catching a copy of the Four Books, he will definitely be rich in learning in the future!"
