Harem for a living

Chapter 200

After seeing off Mrs. Chen, Chen Manrou's tense nerves were finally relaxed.When the emperor came over in the evening, Chen Manrou had already adjusted her mentality, dressed neatly, with a relaxed and happy smile on her face.

The emperor raised his eyebrows slightly: "Zitong is in a good mood today?"

"Well, my concubine met my grandma today. Seeing that she is still in good health, and hearing that her siblings are in good condition, I am very happy." Chen Manrou did not hide her good mood, and poured tea for the emperor with a smile: "This is The Longjing tea prepared by my concubine was the emperor's favorite in the past, and I would like to ask the emperor to give me a favor to see if my concubine's tea-making skills have improved?"

The emperor's face froze, and he looked at Chen Manrou with a teacup: "Is this the tea you brewed yourself?"

Chen Manrou nodded with a smile. The emperor thought of the tea made by Chen Manrou that he had drunk before, and suddenly felt bitter in his mouth. With a full belly, I can't say no to it.

After a few dry laughs, the emperor decisively changed the subject: "In a few days it will be Xiao Si's birthday. This year is Xiao Si's first birthday after moving out of Yongshou Palace. Shall we hold a family banquet that day?"

Xiao Si is the eldest son, so he is different from other princes.What's more, the queen mother of this direct son is still very popular with him, so the emperor naturally doesn't hesitate to save face.

"The emperor cares about Xiaosi. I am very happy. However, Xiaosi has already asked the concubine for a favor, and the concubine has already agreed to plead with the emperor." Chen Manrou quickly declined, she did not want to push her son to the forefront .

"Oh, what kind of grace?" The emperor asked in a little surprise, Chen Manrou sighed: "The child has grown up and has his own little friend, and he is always thinking about going out to play with his little friend."

"Go out? Go out of the palace?" The emperor got to the point right away, Chen Manrou nodded, smiled and moved to the emperor's side, holding his arm and shaking: "Your majesty, Xiao Si finally asked for a concubine. Agreed."

The emperor smiled and pinched Chen Manrou's cheek: "Why didn't he come to beg me in person?"

"Your Majesty, you are busy with political affairs." Chen Manrou smiled, and the Emperor shook his head: "He begged you, and if you come to beg me again, don't you feel that I am busy with political affairs now?"

Chen Manrou leaned her head and kissed the emperor on the cheek, and shook her head with a reddish face: "Of course not, the so-called strict father and loving mother, Xiaosi naturally wanted to beg me as a loving mother first, and then I agreed, and the emperor doesn't need to be a mother." It's difficult."

"Your majesty, please agree. Xiao Si is so old and has never been out of the palace. He even asked me that an egg is cheap for ten copper coins. Why would I dispose of the people who buy it?" Chen Manrou said coquettishly, the emperor thought about it Thinking about it, he nodded and said: "Okay, I agreed, but I need to arrange a few more people for this man. Later, I will arrange a few more guards for him. Who did he say he would go with?"

Xiao Si has already gone to live in Nan San, so the personal guards have been selected early. According to his current age, there are only twelve guards around him, and the third class follows him.

This kind of manpower is enough to see in the palace, but it is not enough to be seen outside the palace.

Chen Manrou was very happy that the emperor took over this matter, and said with a smile: "Go with his two companions. Hongkun also wanted to go with him before, but Hongkun is still young, and Concubine Cheng is a little worried. , so it’s just Xiao Si and his companion reading.”

Hongkun is eight years old this year, and just moved to Nansan in the first month, and is still in the adaptation period. Concubine Cheng loves this child very much, and she is more concerned than her eyes, so she is naturally worried about letting Hongkun go out of the palace with her. .

For the rest, the second prince, Hong Xu, has never been very close to the fourth prince. The third prince, Hong Hao, is a little introverted because the Empress Dowager Ci’an is a bit neglected. He doesn’t interact with other princes very much. Xiao Xiao couldn't go, so naturally the sixth prince Hong Xin and the seventh prince Hong Yi couldn't go either.

The emperor nodded his head to express his understanding, and when Xiao Si came over from school, he asked him a few more questions about his homework, and he brought Liu Cheng back to Qianqing Palace until the palace gate was about to be locked.

Then the next day, Chen Manrou heard another very sad news - Tang Wan'er picked up Miss Pei's family to live in the palace for a while.That girl from the Pei family is the concubine of the Pei family. The wife of the Pei family has always disliked this concubine, so this concubine has always been an invisible person in the Pei family.

This time, the Pei family suffered a big setback in the human life transaction case. Although it didn't go to the point of ransacking the family, all the official positions of the man were removed. If he was not related to the Tang family by marriage, he would have been kicked out of the capital long ago.

There was really no other way, Mrs. Pei thought of her concubine, no matter whether she entered the palace or became a concubine, as long as she could win over the Pei family.

Tang Wan'er didn't know what was going on, she just took the girl from the Pei family into the palace, but Ci'an didn't object.

Chen Manrou's first thought was disgusting, and her second thought was that this Tang Wan'er is really talented, being cruel to others is nothing but being cruel to oneself is a real talent.Then, Chen Manrou thought of Tang Wan'er's words that day, and was shocked for a moment. Could it be that Tang Wan'er really planned to give birth to a child?

But, how on earth did she know that she couldn't have children?She is not yet 20 years old, so she has come to a conclusion so early, isn't she a little too impatient?Or, does she have any definite evidence that she can no longer have children?

However, because of the education of the old lady of the Chen family, this matter only stayed in Chen Manrou's heart for a while, and then disappeared without a trace.Whether Tang Wan'er and the girl from the Pei family can succeed or not, it has nothing to do with her.

Even if it succeeds, it is just a lot of women in the harem, no matter how hard it is to kill her, the queen, and become the new queen in one fell swoop.Even if this girl from the Pei family really gave birth to a child in the future, it is not certain whether she will be a prince or not, just like Concubine Hui who gave birth to two princesses in a row, her character is very good.

Well, even if the girl from the Pei family has a good character, she gave birth to a little prince in no time, but whether she can raise it or not is another matter.

Even if he was brought up, Xiao Si had already grown up at that time, so he couldn't pose a threat.

If it is unsuccessful, then it has nothing to do with Chen Manrou.

Therefore, Chen Manrou didn't take it seriously at all, and easily approved the request of the girl from the Pei family to live in the palace for a short time, and then continued to comfortably nest in her Yongshou Palace to raise her baby.

But Chen Manrou didn't expect that she didn't want to cause trouble, but the trouble wanted to provoke her.Tang Wan'er actually brought that Miss Pei to pay her respects!
Chen Manrou paused, and told Lichun: "Just say that Ben Gong is not feeling well, the emperor ordered Ben Gong to rest, and then disappeared. Let Tang Zhaorong treat the girl from the Pei family well. There are many places in the harem that you can't wander around at will, so let Tang Zhaorong pay attention. "

Li Chun smiled and went to pass on the message, and came back with a distorted face: "Your Majesty, you haven't seen Miss Pei's face, it's almost like the bottom of the pot. Tang Zhaorong's face is not very good, but it is not bad to hide it."

Chen Manrou's words were not considered polite, it was almost a warning, it would be strange if the girl from the Pei family looked so good.

In the next few days, Chen Manrou heard various news from time to time.For example, the emperor met a girl from the Pei family by chance in the imperial garden, and the emperor praised the girl from the Pei family for her literary talents, and the emperor rewarded the girl from the Pei family with a piece of cloth or something.

After listening to it for five or six days, Chen Manrou finally began to suspect, is this news too frequent?
To be honest, she still knows the emperor better, she is not lecherous, and is very diligent.The Pei family girl is not a character, in terms of virtuousness, I'm sorry, I didn't see it.In the paper, there was Concubine Yang Guifei and Concubine Fu Changmei.In terms of body posture, even the concubine De who has never been promoted has a better figure than her, with a protruding front and back, the young girl of the Pei family really can't compare with her young body.In terms of youthfulness, there are several low-ranking beauties like Xiaoyi in the palace, and there are even more youthful ones.

Therefore, the emperor will definitely not have any thoughts on the girl from the Pei family.It is possible to meet in the imperial garden, the emperor has to pass through the imperial garden twice a day.Appreciation and rewards are also possible. The emperor met several young girls a while ago and gave them rewards.

The truth of the matter may be very small, but it will change when it reaches her ears.

So, why did Tang Wan'er spread these news?
Chen Manrou didn't understand, but she soon understood.Because Li Yuyi came to feel the pulse, he said a few words: "The majesty is not pregnant this time, and she is over-thinking, which is not good for the child in her stomach. Wei Chen prescribed a prescription for calming the nerves and nourishing the fetus. The majesty used it several times. .”

After hesitating for a while, Li Yuyi said again: "If what your mother thinks is not important, it is better to wait until the child is born." There is no way, after the matter of sending His Royal Highness the Fourth Prince out of the palace, he has completely fallen for it. Since the queen's thief ship is already the queen's confidant, what should be reminded should still be reminded.

To save the future, the queen will be unlucky, and he, the imperial doctor, will also be unlucky.

"Thank you Li Yuyi. I suddenly felt that thinking too much is not a good thing, so I just decided not to think about those things anymore." Chen Manrou replied with a smile, feeling very depressed in her heart. Tang Waner's original intention was about That's it?
Pregnancy is not good at all, coupled with excessive worry, it is really two things to say whether it will be possible to give birth to the child safely.If she had moved a little more when she was giving birth, Keke would have killed two people.

I'm too stupid, I got into such a simple trap so foolishly!Tang Wan'er really wasn't a simple one, she had such a blatant plan, and she didn't realize it until now!
Fortunately, my grandmother persuaded me when I entered the palace before, and I didn't take the matter of the Pei family girl too much these days.If it were someone with a slightly more jealous heart, I am afraid that the child may not be in the stomach right now.

Chen Manrou felt resentful for a while, and became even more vigilant towards Tang Wan'er in her heart.With Tang Wan'er's intelligence, this superficial purpose is probably just a part of the plan. Maybe Tang Wan'er is planning to kill three birds with one stone or kill four birds with one stone. She has to find a solution once and for all.

Otherwise, being so on guard every day, she really fell for Tang Wan'er's tricks.However, this can be regarded as achieving Tang Wan'er's goal from the side?Chen Manrou was deeply depressed, she was really ruthless, she might be killed if she didn't want to, and she might be killed if she thought about it.
