Harem for a living

Chapter 35

The bed-serving system in this era is not like that of the Qing Dynasty, except for the high-ranking ones, the rest of the people had to be rolled up by the quilt and leave immediately after serving the bed.So after Chen Manrou had sex with the emperor, she could still sleep for a while on the dragon bed marked for the emperor's use.

However, she still took the opportunity to say that she wanted to take a bath, and asked Tuanyue to follow up and get the thing out, otherwise, she would not be able to sleep well even on the dragon bed.

"Your majesty, let me help you get dressed." The next day, before dawn, Chen Manrou felt the rustling noises around her, and she was so excited that she quickly opened her eyes, and then saw the emperor wearing bright yellow clothes. Liu Cheng was standing beside the bed in his inner garment, and Liu Cheng was holding the garment with his body arched. The two maids beside him were about to come up to dress the emperor.She hurriedly got out of bed, walked to the emperor and said.

The emperor glanced at her and nodded.

Chen Manrou is also used to doing this. When her father learned that the Chen family decided to let her enter the palace, he asked her to experiment with her elder brother. She still knows the steps and procedures for dressing a man. It's very clear.

"Ai Fei is very skilled in this movement." The emperor raised his head slightly to make it easier for her to button up his buttons, and said casually.Chen Manrou's subordinates didn't stop, and reached out to take the purse and hung it up for the emperor: "I knew I was going to enter the palace, so I practiced with my elder brother's clothes for a few days. My concubine's skills are not good, please forgive me."

"I think the concubine's match is quite appropriate." The emperor chuckled lightly, and stretched out his hand to pinch Chen Manrou's cheek: "Okay, you should pack up and go back, it's time for me to go to court."

Chen Manrou saluted, watched the emperor walk around the screen, and then turned around and took her own clothes. Although she didn't really want to wear them, it was obvious that Xiangyue couldn't go back to get a change of clothes at the moment, so she had to go back and get a change of clothes first. Put up with it.

As soon as she returned to Zhongcui Palace, Chen Manrou saw Jinhuan come in with wine and cups, and a box for breakfast in her hand.Chen Manrou waved her hand: "Get water first, let me wash my face and brush my teeth, and then change my clothes."

I took a shower last night, but I haven't washed my face this morning.Besides, time is running out, she doesn't want to give the queen the impression that she will become arrogant after just one ride.

When she finished her breakfast and was about to go to Yongshou Palace, she just walked out of the gate of Zhongcui Palace and heard a delicate voice behind her: "Sister Concubine Chen seems to be a little late today. Was it too tiring to serve the emperor last night?"

The corners of Chen Manrou's mouth twitched, this person is so cheap every day, isn't it possible that he is not afraid of falling into this one day?After thinking about it, Chen Manrou turned her head and said with a smile: "My sister really can't speak. It's our duty to serve the emperor. How can we be tired? Besides, why does my sister think it's a bit late today? Could it be that my sister didn't arrive at the Yongshou Palace, so she went to the palace first to wait for you?" Have you seen anyone who has already gone to pay your respects? Even if someone has already gone to pay your respects, my sister can't say that we are late. Could it be that when the empress made a greeting, do you have to go at a certain time? Concubine Cheng, if I If you read correctly, you are still behind me at this moment, right?"

After finishing speaking, without looking at Cheng Fei's reaction, she directly ordered the servant who was carrying the sedan chair in front: "Hurry up, don't let Cheng Fei say hello to me."

Concubine Cheng had never been robbed before, her face was flushed with anger at this moment, and she was about to say something, but Chen Manrou's sedan chair suddenly accelerated, and she opened the distance in a few steps, she couldn't shout, so she had to He stomped his feet angrily, turned around and scolded the bearer on his side: "What are you still doing? You are so stupid! Hurry up and chase after them!"

However, no matter how hard she chased, she couldn't catch up.When she arrived at Yongshou Palace, Chen Manrou had already sat down on the seat.Concubine Cheng saluted the Empress and Concubine Shu and Concubine De, snorted coldly at Chen Manrou, and then sat down under Chen Manrou.

"Why does Sister Cheng look so unhappy? Could it be that Sister Concubine Chen has offended Sister Cheng?" Concubine De smiled, her eyes swept across Concubine Cheng and then Chen Manrou, quite gossip Once again, it fell on the concubine Cheng.

"I dare not say that it was Concubine Chen who offended me." Concubine Cheng curled her lips and said, "Some people, seeing that the imperial concubine is sick in bed now, and she had to be pampered and accompanied again yesterday, they are so crazy that they don't know where the sun comes from. It's..."

"Sister Chengfei's words are really funny." Chen Manrou interrupted Chengfei's words impatiently: "What does the imperial concubine's sickness have to do with all of us? Could it be that the imperial concubine is sick, and there is no one in the harem to serve the emperor?" Sister Chengfei wants to say that the imperial concubine is the biggest in the harem? When she gets sick, the entire harem has to pray for her? I think some people have ghosts in their hearts. The imperial concubine was pregnant at the time, but given It has given some people a lot of convenience and benefits, and after a few days the imperial concubine recovers, I see what some people can do."

The empress is the boss of the harem. The empress didn't say anything. You said that others treated you poorly because Concubine Yang Guifei was ill, so you couldn't go to bed. Do you think the empress is dead?
Concubine Yang brought Chengfei into the palace in the first place so that she could have someone to help her during her pregnancy.But now Concubine Yang's child is gone, Concubine Yang has had a miscarriage and confinement for a month, and then she can continue to dominate the harem when she turns back.

Concubine Yang is not here at the moment, Concubine Yang's biggest opponent, the Empress, is here. Chen Manrou made enough gestures in front of the emperor yesterday, so there is no need to continue to be patient. This harem is not just your concubine with a mouth. , You will say, is it possible that others will not say it?

Concubine Cheng's face turned blue and white, she rubbed the veil vigorously in her hand, glared at Chen Manrou angrily, and quickly stood up to apologize to the queen: "Empress, that's not what I meant, concubine..."

Concubine Cheng thought about it for a long time, but she couldn't think of how to explain it. She did mention Concubine Yang Gui before.It really showed off Concubine Yang's favor, and earned a lot of hatred for Concubine Yang.

No matter what Concubine Yang was interested in Concubine Cheng at the beginning, anyway, at this moment, Concubine Yang has to be dragged down by her pig-like teammates.

Even the queen didn't want to say anything to the concubine Cheng who was always showing off her tongue, so she sighed helplessly and waved her hands and said, "Since the concubine Cheng is so important to the concubine, it happens that the concubine is not feeling well, so you can copy it for the concubine when you turn around." Go to the Buddhist scriptures, when the imperial concubine recovers from illness, when will you come out again. Please don't use it anymore, just stay in your Chengqian Palace."

The queen's words sounded like an understatement, but they deprived the concubine of Cheng's chance to be favored.Concubine Cheng's face was even more ugly, she thanked her with a pale face, turned her head to wait for another look at Chen Manrou, and sat down without speaking.

Chen Manrou snorted coldly in her heart, she deserved it!If my sister doesn't show off her power, you really think my sister is a sick cat!
"Sister Concubine Chen is quite different from the past today." Concubine Cheng stopped, Concubine De followed, and looked at Chen Manrou with a smile on the corner of her mouth, Concubine De said with a smile: "Sister Concubine Chen looks tough today. Very, I don't have this kind of momentum on weekdays. Could it be that my sister has more courage because I went to bed once yesterday?"

Chen Manrou tilted her head in doubt: "Am I usually submissive and very timid to be afraid of seeing a mouse? Did Empress Defei remember it wrong? Ah, yes, or the incident the day before yesterday made Defei Empress misunderstand Hey, Empress Concubine De, I was really not a coward before, but that incident was unusual, it was human life, of course, they deserved it themselves, and they deserved their death, but when I think of that blood, I think of that The stick hurts so much, I'm scared, after all, I've never seen anything like this before."

Speaking meaningfully, he looked at Concubine De with a smile and said, "Empress De Concubine could still laugh at that time, but she was much better than me. I wondered if Empress De Concubine saw such things a lot on weekdays. ..."

If you say that I am proud of being favored, I will say that your family education is not good, and being proud of being favored is not up to you alone, but everyone in the capital knows that your family is not well educated.Putting her middle finger up, Chen Manrou really wanted to be irritable for a while.

Seeing De Concubine's eyes flashed with haze, Chen Manrou rubbed her chin with the villain in her heart, offending everyone in the harem, it seems that it will not be a bad thing, right?Will it be a bad thing?If it is like the fairy Lingfei in the anti-Qiong Yao novel, once she loses power, the whole harem will step on her, wouldn't it be miserable?

However, it seems that there is no offense. After losing power, there will be people stepping on it, right?Don't the miserable heroines all have such an experience?
Forget it, they are going to be trampled anyway, and now they won't lose money once they are proud of themselves.What's more, who said that we will lose power in the future?Heh heh heh, as long as you abide by the rules and don't do private things to give others excuses, even if you are not favored, you won't lose power and be thrown into the cold palace.

"I didn't realize that sister Concubine Chen is also sharp-tongued." Concubine Shu watched the show for a long time, and now said with a smile: "However, Concubine Cheng and Concubine De are indeed too outspoken. After a while, you have to pay more attention to what you say in the future."

Concubine Liu also laughed and said, "What Concubine Shu said, sister Chengfei's mouth, if you don't pay attention to it, you may be in trouble in the future."

The queen concluded the case: "Okay, although I like people who are straightforward, but what should I say and what should not be said, you should carefully consider it later, and don't wait for the day when you say the wrong thing. Gong Ke can't save you either. It's getting late, and it's time to pay the Queen Mother today, let's go there now."

After finishing speaking, she got up first and left the hall, Concubine Shu hurriedly followed with her belly slightly raised, Concubine De sneered at Chen Manrou, then turned to follow.Concubine Liu stretched out her hand and patted Chen Manrou's arm: "You, I still haven't calmed down today, and you won't lose a piece of meat if you say a few words to them, isn't it just jealous? They don't say these harsh words after too many times. gone."

Chen Manrou nodded with a smile: "I'm really in a bad temper today. I ate too little in the morning, and I'm a little hungry. Thank you, Sister Concubine Liu, for reminding me. I will definitely bear it next time."

Don't always think that everyone except yourself is a fool, okay?This trick of sowing dissension and praising others is really not enough.
