Harem for a living

Chapter 212

"Tang Zhaorong's words are quite correct. I also think that you are too negligent. The imperial doctors also said that the empress dowager's relapse is due to repeated cold and heat. If you take good care of it, why is it so?" Chen Manrou did not argue, and directly Follow Tang Wan'er's words.

After finishing speaking, he turned to look at the emperor: "It was my fault that I didn't find out earlier. Another mistake I made was that I shouldn't trust Concubine Hui and the others too much. Originally, I was thinking, Concubine Hui was careful, and Tang Zhaorong The Empress Dowager has always liked her, Fu Concubine and Concubine Hua are also gentle and considerate, they must be able to take good care of the Empress Dowager, but I didn't expect them to be so negligent that this kind of thing happened."

Eye circles were red, Chen Manrou lowered her eyes: "I shouldn't listen to Nanny Ping's words, I just think that the empress dowager doesn't want to see my concubine, and I don't come to sleep for the empress dowager's sake, I am guilty, and I ask the emperor to punish me. "

Everyone knows that Empress Dowager Ci'an doesn't like Empress Empress very much.As the son of the Empress Dowager Ci'an, the Emperor knew this matter very well. Hearing what Chen Manrou said, he immediately understood that it was the Empress Dowager who did not want to see the Empress, so the Empress sent another person to attend her bed.

Nanny Ping is the Empress Dowager's confidant, and what Nanny Ping said, to a large extent, is equivalent to what the Empress Dowager said.The emperor who knew his own mother very well also knew that it must be the empress dowager's intention to let Tang Wan'er come over instead of the queen.

So, this matter actually has nothing to do with the queen.But the queen is sensible and filial, even though it has nothing to do with her, she still took this matter to herself, just to save face for the queen mother.

The emperor stretched out his hand to help Chen Manrou get up, and said in a soft voice: "I understand the empress's filial piety, if the empress hadn't been vigilant, I would not have thought of this. Recently, there are many affairs, and the empress is tired. I will take care of the empress's affairs. Check it out."

On the one hand, she appeased Chen Manrou, on the other hand, she said that she would take over the matter. The emperor's attitude was obvious. The faces of several imperial doctors turned pale again, and Tang Wan'er couldn't help biting her lower lip.

Only Chen Manrou was not surprised. The queen mother had an accident, and the only one who had the right to investigate thoroughly was the emperor.

"The concubine will definitely live up to the emperor's entrustment." Chen Manrou hurriedly saluted and said, and then led her to leave.The emperor told her to leave it alone, and if she asked a few more questions, the emperor might become suspicious, so, be wise and protect yourself.

After waiting for two or three days, there was no news from Ci'an Palace.Chen Manrou was also patient, she didn't ask any questions, she just took care of the affairs of the harem, and called a few beautiful women to come over from time to time to have a look.

"Your Majesty, Miss Cao, Miss Guo, Miss Jiang, and Miss Hetian are here." The first group to meet were naturally the ones with the highest status and the most popular ones.Chen Manrou smiled and nodded: "Bring them in."

Afterwards, Lichun brought people in.Walking in front was Cao Lingyu, who was wearing a moon-white dress. She was very beautiful, but she had no expression on her face, which made Chen Manrou feel like she saw the little dragon girl in the ancient tomb.

With a toothache, she turned her attention to the second person, Miss Guo Baozhu, whose appearance could only be considered delicate, but when she smiled, two dimples appeared on her face, making her smile very charming, mellow and beautiful.

The third is Jiang Xiuer, who is also more beautiful.It's just that there are too many beautiful women in the palace, and compared with the previous two, she doesn't have any special features that stand out, so Chen Manrou just glanced away before turning her eyes away.

The last one, Tian Tian'er, is really the same as her name. The whole person looks very pleasing, Apple's round face is rosy, her eyes are big and her eyebrows are curved, and she looks even more cute when she smiles. I feel good.

"I have met the empress, please greet the empress." The four of them saluted together, and Chen Manrou raised her hand to signal them to get up: "Sit down, my palace was a little busy a few days ago, so I didn't have time to see you. You are in the palace How do you feel about living here? But getting used to it?"

"Thank you, Empress, for your concern. My daughter is fine." Jiang Xiu'er answered first, and Tian Tian'er shook her head with a smile: "Your Majesty, I am very grateful for your concern. My daughter feels that the palace is just like home. Sisters and sisters talk together and learn the rules together, the minister is very happy."

"If there is anything you are not used to, just tell the mothers, and they will come back and tell me." Chen Manrou also said with a smile, and asked someone to bring tea and snacks, showing her generosity and enthusiasm very kindly: "On weekdays If you need anything, feel free to ask me.”

The entire harem is in charge of Chen Manrou, so it is natural to ask Chen Manrou what she wants.

"Thank you, ma'am, I'm so polite, I think this snack is very delicious, can I bring two yuan back later?" Tian Tian'er immediately said with a smile, still stuffed in her mouth. Half a snack, with bulging cheeks, looks like a little hamster.

"Of course it is possible." Chen Manrou replied with a smile: "There are other things. If you like it, I will have someone put it on for you. Miss Tian likes dim sum?"

"Your Majesty, you don't know that Tian'er almost eats snacks as a meal. When we are learning the rules on weekdays, Tian'er always says that he is hungry and wants to eat snacks, and then eats the snacks. Say you're not hungry."

Jiang Xiu'er said with a smile, Chen Manrou nodded, and looked at Jiang Xiu'er sideways: "Then what does Miss Jiang usually like?"

"She likes playing the piano the most!" Tian Tian'er answered first, and Chen Manrou turned her head to ask Guo Baozhu. I also bring a few books with me when I have nothing to do, and I read a few pages when I have nothing to do."

Chen Manrou moved her eyes to Cao Yuling, and Cao Yuling replied in a light voice: "My daughter likes to practice calligraphy." After a pause, she continued: "My daughter heard that the Empress Dowager's holy body violated harmony, so my daughter copied it in her spare time. A few volumes of Buddhist scriptures are for the Empress Dowager, please don’t dislike her.”

As he spoke, he pulled out two volumes of Buddhist scriptures from his sleeve.Chen Manrou couldn't help but twitched the corners of her mouth. When she was watching TV in her previous life, she always saw people taking things from their sleeves, so she kept thinking about how to keep things stuffed in the sleeves so they wouldn't fall off.

After thinking for so many years, she is used to people not stuffing things in their sleeves. A real case suddenly appeared in front of her. She really didn't understand how the girl kept these scriptures from her sleeves when she was saluting just now. slide out.

However, it is not easy to ask about this matter. If you ask, it will appear that the queen of a country is too ignorant.

So Chen Manrou just asked someone to take the scriptures, with a gentle smile on her face: "Miss Cao has worked hard, Miss Cao has a heart, I am very grateful, and I will definitely send the scriptures to Ci'an Palace later, so that the Empress Dowager Get well soon."

Cao Lingyu's move played a very good leading role.Jiang Xiu'er also took out a stack of square silk cloth with a bit of embarrassment: "My servant's handwriting is not good-looking, so I didn't copy the Buddhist scriptures, so I could only embroider a Guanyin image for the empress dowager, and asked the empress to Madam, don't be disgusted."

Chen Manrou still took it with a smile, and Tian Tian'er had a mournful face: "Are you all ready? What should I do? Although I pray to Buddha every day, I haven't prepared anything for the empress dowager. The empress dowager won't." Don't like me?"

I was so anxious to speak that I even forgot what I called myself.Guo Baozhu's complexion was not very good, probably because he didn't expect Cao Lingyu and Jiang Xiu'er to do such a trick.

Chen Manrou looked very happy on the top, and these four beautiful girls were not in a group.Cao Lingyu and Jiang Xiu'er probably had the intention of entering the palace.As for Tian Tian'er, those words seemed depressed, but she actually defended herself, and it seemed that her face was not just for nothing.

Guo Baozhu seemed like he wanted to enter the palace, and he didn't express much from the beginning to the end.

"It doesn't matter, as long as you have that kind of thought, it will be done. The Queen Mother is tolerant and kind. If you know that you pray for her every day, you must be very happy." After comforting Tian Tianer a few words, Chen Manrou dismissed a few people leave.

The emperor is over forty this year. In modern times, he is still the age of a flower. In ancient times, he was already the age of a grandfather.It's a pity that the first prince died early, and the second prince was still two years away, so the emperor is just a grandpa now.

Of course, this does not mean that the emperor is getting old and has become a bearded and wrinkled old man.Although the emperor has reached the age of being called grandpa, the emperor is well maintained on weekdays, and he often practices martial arts. It seems that he is only in his 30s.

Because of the precipitation of the years, the emperor has a unique charm, which is not only elegant, but also domineering, and also has the aura of being an emperor who looks down on the world.Coincidentally, at the age of the emperor, Concubine Zhu can get pregnant, which will attract more attention.

Chen Manrou opened Cao Lingyu's volume of Buddhist scriptures. The writing on it was slightly larger, which was very suitable for the elderly to read.The handwriting is beautiful, and at a glance, the entire page looks like a painting, which is very pleasing to the eye.

Chen Manrou twitched her lips: "This Cao Yuling is an interesting person. She sent the Buddhist scriptures here to show that she cares about the queen mother and leave a good impression on the queen mother. On the other hand, she shows that she is abiding by the rules and has not crossed the line in everything. This Empress Gong is really a smart person."

Li Chun was indignant: "She is taking advantage of the empress!"

"If I give the Buddhist scriptures to the Empress Dowager, wouldn't I gain a good reputation for being tolerant? I am a virtuous queen." Chen Manrou sneered, Cao Lingyu was not just using it.

She sent the Buddhist scriptures here, and Chen Manrou had no choice but to send them to Ci'an Palace.If you don't send it, you are jealous, and you don't want the Queen Mother to recover.Anyone can bear the reputation of being jealous, but the queen of the world cannot bear it.The reputation of unfilial piety is even more unacceptable, and if it is stained, it will become a street rat.

That Jiang Xiu'er was not simple-minded either.It was clear that there was no plan to send out the Avalokitesvara statue before, but after Cao Lingyu took out the Buddhist scriptures, she immediately took out the Avalokitesvara statue.On the surface, it looked like it was to save Chen Manrou from the siege.

But if she really didn't want to send the Guanyin statue, why did she bring it with her?
Not only wanting to please the queen, but also wanting to please the queen mother and the emperor, it is really greedy.Cao Lingyu just chose two of them.
