Harem for a living

Chapter 209

"Your Majesty, do you want dinner?" Chu Yun came over and asked after returning to Yongshou Palace, Chen Manrou nodded.Xiaosi and Xiaowu have been waiting in the inner hall for a long time, and Xiao Bayi flattened his mouth as soon as he saw Chen Manrou: "Mother, I'm hungry!"

"Are we so hungry?" Chen Manrou hurriedly hugged Xiao Ba and kissed him on the cheek: "It's the mother's fault, she didn't come back during dinner time, the mother apologized, okay?"

"Okay, then Xiaoba will forgive the queen." Xiaoba said in a childish voice, and Xiaowu reached out to pick up Xiaoba: "Mother, please sit and rest for a while, how is the emperor's grandmother? Is there a problem?"

"Your grandma has a fever. The empress has sent people to serve her sick. Don't worry. The empress of tomorrow announced Princess An and the others to enter the palace. This mother-in-law is sick. As a daughter-in-law, she has to come to the palace to serve her sick." That's right." Chen Manrou said with a smile, and sat down on one side.

After dinner, as usual, Chen Manrou first asked about Xiaosi's homework, then cared about his life, and then sent him out of Yongshou Palace before the palace gate was locked.Then she asked the nanny to carry Xiao Ba down to sleep, and then she took Xiao Wu to her side: "Did you finish your homework today?"

"Queen, I don't want to learn embroidery. Can I still afford to be an embroiderer in the future?" Xiao Wu pouted, snuggled into Chen Manrou's arms, and raised her hands to let Chen Manrou see the pinholes on her fingers. Chen Manrou felt distressed , looked at them one by one, frowned and asked, "Did you take the medicine?"

"Well, the medicine has been applied." Xiao Wu nodded obediently. After the eldest princess got married, she was the most honorable princess in the palace, and Chen Manrou, the queen, was very favored, so she followed the tide, let alone the eye of a needle. , Even if a hair is lost on weekdays, those servants are extremely nervous.

However, Xiao Wu expressed that she couldn't understand this situation. She had never punished those subordinates. She always remembered what her mother taught her not to be arrogant and indulgent, and to be relaxed with the subordinates. So afraid of her?
"Baby, if it's possible, I don't want you to be pricked with needles all the time, but as a woman, female red is a standard for others to measure you in the future, so you can't do it if you don't learn." Chen Manrou hugged Xiao Wu and comforted: "Otherwise How about this, my mother doesn't ask you to learn embroidery very well, if you can make a purse that your father can wear, you won't have to learn embroidery in the future, what do you think?"

Xiao Wu pouted and hesitated, the things her father wore were very demanding, and she didn't wear them unless they were high-quality goods.If her handwork can reach that level, she can be called a master!

"Is your father treating you well? As your father's daughter, don't you have to respect your father? It's the easiest way to make a purse. Do you want to learn how to cook?" Chen Manrou listened to Xiao Wu. The reason, only raised eyebrows.

After all, Xiao Wu was young, so Chen Manrou immediately forgot all about the east, west and north: "I am also very filial to my father. If this is the case, I will learn to embroider and make a very beautiful purse for my father in the future! It is better than my mother's." You look better!"

"Okay, the queen mother is waiting, don't forget to make one for the queen mother, and your fourth brother, and your imperial grandmother, you can't leave behind." Chen Manrou smiled and counted with her fingers, and Xiao Wu's face collapsed instantly. : "So many."

"I didn't even mention your grandmother and grandfather." Chen Manrou smiled and pinched Xiao Wu's cheeks, feeling the tender and smooth touch, and took the opportunity to teach: "My mother usually teaches you how to speak. You have to think twice, you see, you agreed without thinking twice in your head, isn’t it a loss?”

Xiao Wu flattened her mouth, and Chen Manrou stretched out her hand to rub her head: "The queen mother is for your own good, didn't my brother teach me too? Think twice before acting."

"I know that my mother is doing it for my own good. Didn't I think so much because I was talking to my mother?" Xiao Wu hugged Chen Manrou's arm and acted like a baby: "I will definitely think twice when I say something in the future. Mother, don't teach me a lesson. gone."

"It's good if you know. By the way, you brought your puppy to the Royal Garden today?" Chen Manrou suddenly thought of another very important matter, and asked quickly. Xiao Wu immediately looked guilty and looked to the left. Look to the right but don't look at Chen Manrou, he hesitates and doesn't speak.

Chen Manrou sighed: "Did the queen say before that Concubine Zhu is pregnant, so your puppy should be sent to the cat and dog room first?" When Xiao Ba was born, Xiao Wu said that she wanted to raise a puppy. It wasn't until Xiao Ba was two and a half years old that Xiao Wu was able to raise a puppy.

On weekdays, Xiao Wu is a baby of that puppy, and he bathes and feeds it himself. If it wasn't for Chen Manrou's iron-blooded suppression, Xiao Wu would want to sleep in the same bed with that puppy.

After the news of Concubine Zhu's pregnancy broke out some time ago, Chen Manrou asked Xiao Wu to send the puppy away first.After all, there are many ways to cause accidents in this palace, and no one can guarantee whether someone will put their minds on Xiao Wu and the puppy, so as to achieve the purpose of slandering the palace and causing Concubine Zhu to have a miscarriage.

But Xiao Wu was very reluctant. Although he sent the puppy away, he still wanted to go and have a look at it every day.Then today, taking advantage of Chen Manrou's inattention, she took the puppy to the Imperial Garden for a walk.

"Mother's queen..." Xiao Wu yelled, then lowered her head and remained silent.Chen Manrou sighed: "Do you still remember that when you were four years old, you went to the Royal Garden with your brother to play, and then accidentally stepped on Tang Zhaorong's cat? And the year before last, Cui Wanyi's parrot pecked Chang Meiren, and then Cui Wanyi was killed What about the punishment? And last year, Li Zhaohua’s cat caught Zheng Zhaohua, and both of them were demoted? And at the beginning of this year, Wang Wanyi’s puppy bit Tang Zhaorong’s cat, and then Wang Wanyi was demoted?”

Of course, what happened behind these cats and dogs is certainly not simple.Chen Manrou didn't say anything, Xiao Wu also knew about it, and Chen Manrou had analyzed it for her in detail before.

Xiao Wu's head lowered lower and lower when Chen Manrou said these things.After Chen Manrou finished speaking, Xiao Wu also had shame on her face: "Mother, I'm sorry, I was too self-willed, I went to see it, and then it kept barking at me, so I thought, I will take it to the Imperial Garden Let's go, you'll be fine."

"Did you think that those people were not filial at the beginning?" Chen Manrou said slightly sternly, this matter really cannot be bypassed easily.If someone really seizes the opportunity, let's not talk about whether Xiao Wu will make the emperor hate him.

It's just that at a young age, Chen Manrou couldn't bear the crime of conniving at a pet and murdering a child's mother.

Xiao Wu has always been smart, but now he just lowered his head and listened to Chen Manrou's lesson.In the end, Chen Manrou stopped after repeatedly promising that she would never play with the puppy in the imperial garden again.

After sending Xiao Wu away, Chen Manrou breathed a sigh of relief.Someone brought hot water in, and she soaked in the bathtub and began to think about what happened today.The more she thought about it, the more she felt that Tang Wan'er and Empress Dowager Ci'an were going to cause trouble.

In the past few years, the palace was very peaceful.Everyone knows that the empress Chen Manrou is very favored and has two sons. Among the surviving princes, the second prince has no biological mother, the third prince is sick, the fifth prince is raised by a concubine and has no intention of seizing the throne, and the sixth prince With a low background, the seventh prince followed the fourth prince all day long.

The concubines with princes are all quiet, and those without princes are even more quiet.As a result, the palace was quiet for several years, and everyone worked hard to give birth to a prince.But I don't know what's going on, and no one can conceive.

Until the beginning of this year, it was revealed that Concubine Zhu was pregnant.Now, catch up with the draft again.Tang Wan'er is not young anymore, and her old rival, Concubine Zhu, is pregnant. As soon as May is over, there will be another group of pink flowers entering the palace, so I guess this time I am in a hurry.

Chen Manrou used to be able to watch the Empress Dowager Ci'an and Tang Wan'er torment like she was watching a play, but after so many years of peace, she got tired of Tang Wan'er playing tricks from time to time, with the Empress Dowager Ci'an backing her up.

If the new ladies in the palace serve the emperor in the future, maybe someone who is not good-looking will want to hug the empress dowager's thigh, and then hook up with Tang Wan'er. If Tang Wan'er has a prince again, whether it is her own or adopted , is not a good thing for Chen Manrou.

The most important thing is that in the past two years, Tang Wan'er has suddenly gotten very close to the third prince.Under the care of the Empress Dowager Ci'an, although the third prince was a little sick, he also left the ranks of the medicine jars.

If the third prince can recover one day, even if Tang Wan'er does not have a prince, the harem will be full of waves.

Coupled with what happened today, Chen Manrou deeply felt that she was so kind in the past that she kept Tang Wan'er until now!
Although the average age of people in this era is sixty, there are also people in their seventies and eighties.The Empress Dowager Ci'an is only in her 60s this year. If she really can live to be in her 80s, it will take at least 15 years. With her around, Tang Wan'er has always been the unbeatable Xiaoqiang.

But she couldn't take action against the Empress Dowager Ci'an, so she could only focus on Tang Wan'er.If she still wanted to be quiet in the future, she had to get rid of Tang Wan'er as soon as possible.However, she couldn't do it herself...

Some bottom lines cannot be crossed no matter what.

"Li Qiu, you can send a message to Concubine Hui tomorrow." When she felt that the water was a little cold, Chen Manrou got up slowly, and while letting Li Chun wipe her body, she turned her head and said to Li Qiu: "This palace The concubines in the palace have not been canonized for several years. This year, the draft picks enter the palace, and there will definitely be a canonization at the end of next year. Concubine Zhu has a body, whether it is a boy or a girl, she will definitely be canonized next year. In addition, there has been no one in the position of noble concubine for six or seven years, and this palace will speak to the emperor and canonize a noble concubine."

Tang Wan'er is now Zhaorong, but after she becomes sick, she might become a concubine of Tang. If she is adopted again, or for another day, it is not impossible to be promoted to the position of noble concubine.

In addition, there is Concubine De, although she also raised two princesses, but her qualifications are higher than Concubine Hui's, so it is not impossible.

She couldn't get rid of Tang Wan'er herself, but she could make the water in the harem more muddy.It's easy to fish in muddy waters, she doesn't believe it, Tang Wan'er won't be moved for a while with such a big pie hanging in front of her.

As long as the heart is moved, there will be actions, and with the heart, it means that there will be more pigtails.
