Harem for a living

Chapter 63

Manager Ming received the notification, and entered the door to salute Chen Manrou, with a look of anxiety and resentment on his face: "Your Majesty, when I went to Qianqing Palace just now, I met people from Concubine Cheng's side, and when I came back, I met Concubine De's side." People, they are all sending snacks to Qianqing Palace."

Chen Manrou froze for a moment, did she follow suit?According to the normal procedure, shouldn't you wait for a day or two, and then you will follow suit after you occupy the emperor for five or six days?

"Only these two?" After thinking for a while, Chen Manrou asked, and Manager Ming nodded: "The younger one has asked Manager Liu Cheng. People from Concubine De's side."

Chen Manrou frowned, dropped the embroidery shed in her hand, pinched her fingers and thought for a long time, but she couldn't think of a better way.Originally, sending snacks to Qianqing Palace was also a loophole. Qianqing Palace has always not allowed women from the harem to go there, the only exception is the queen.

She still sent Manager Ming to send it in with Liu Cheng's hand.He didn't even dare to send a court lady, let alone go to meet the emperor in person.However, without seeing the emperor, there is no way to control which one the emperor turns over when he turns over the cards.

Could it be that we can only wait for God's will at this moment?

Sitting back for a while, Chen Manrou was a little discouraged, fighting for favor is not an easy thing.

"Boss Ming, go and send some of this snack to the queen, and say it's my wish." Waving her hand feebly, Chen Manrou got up and went outside to look at the sky. It was getting late. If the emperor tonight If not, she should get ready for bed early.

Manager Ming responded, packed a basket of snacks and went to Yongshou Palace.

Seeing Chen Manrou's displeasure, Jin Huan came over to give her advice: "Madam, why don't we send someone to guard near the Qianqing Palace, and if someone comes out of the Qianqing Palace, we can go there and stop them?"

Chen Manrou twitched the corners of her mouth: "You have been in the palace with me for two years, tell me, why has no one used this method?"

Jin Huan was stunned for a moment, and his face turned pale after thinking about it.It is impossible that no one has used this method before, and no one is using it now. It can only mean that someone used it before, and then it ended, which sounded the alarm for the rest of the people.

"The empress dowager and empress are still in the harem." Chen Manrou sighed. In fact, at this moment, the harem is divided into three parts of the government. Even the favored concubine Yang Guifei has not been given a power, let alone her. Chen Man is soft.

"Then tonight..." Jin Huan was a little hesitant, she didn't understand why her mother insisted on inviting the emperor over these few days, but she knew that all she had to do was help her.The empress must have her own reasons for doing this.

"I don't know tonight..." Chen Manrou sighed, before she finished speaking, Xiao Laizi reported that Manager Liu Cheng had come.Chen Manrou was stunned for a moment, then turned her head to look at Jinhuan, she saw the joyful expression on Jinhuan's face, and Chen Manrou's face was filled with joy, she walked down the steps in two steps, just in time to meet Liu Cheng.

"Holy edict..." Liu Cheng immediately smiled when he saw Chen Manrou, and hurriedly told Chen Manrou that the emperor was coming tonight.Chen Manrou gave Liu Cheng a thick purse, and after sending Liu Cheng away, she hurried in to dress up happily.

What a surprise, it seems that the efforts of the previous two nights are still useful.

However, the emperor has come here for three consecutive days, so you have to take it easy for the remaining few days.Chen Manrou counted with her fingers. There are ten days of ovulation. She picked the best three days. If the emperor could come for the remaining days, it would be an opportunity earned for nothing.If you can't come, you can always conceive after spending a year or two.

Thinking about it, Chen Manrou's previous depression was swept away. Anyway, she is still young, so there is no need to worry about the child every day.I also thought about it before, and things like children depend on God's will.Could it be that she can have it right away if she wants it?
She said she wanted it, but it was just to make preparations for the arrival of the child. After a long time, she made more preparations.For her, there is no harm.

I was anxious before, but I lost my usual indifference, not bad, I have to guard against arrogance and impetuosity when I look back.

Chen Manrou let go of her eagerness, and in the eyes of the emperor, she felt a little more pure. She couldn't help but feel a little better. Before getting up the next day, she waved her hand and gave Chen Manrou's little private Cudo stuffed some treasures.

Chen Manrou happily asked Jinhuan to take inventory and lock them in the warehouse. These are all property left for her future children, so they must be put away.After tidying up, I brought Wei Le and a meeting drink to greet the queen.

Regarding the fact that she occupied the emperor for three days, the queen didn't say much.The queen has always been a smart person, knowing that the emperor is currently using General Chen, and Chen Manrou only occupied the emperor for three days, compared to Concubine Yang, who occupied the emperor for more than half a month, three days is not enough.

Concubine De was a bit sour and said a few unpleasant words, Concubine Cheng murmured a few words, Concubine Yang gave her a few supercilious glances, and the rest was fine.

When it comes to April [-]th, it will be the second prince's day to catch the week.The second prince is still quite liked by the emperor, so basically all the people in the harem went to catch Zhou Zhou.There are also many clan wives, very lively.At noon, Concubine Shu asked the second prince to be carried out and put it on the big red blanket in the yard, and asked the second prince to grab the things on it.

The second prince was white and tender, like dough. He sat on the blanket and smiled at Concubine Shu with his small face up. Chen Manrou assured her that eight out of ten concubines touched her belly at this moment.

"Be good, baby, grab one you like." Concubine Shu smiled softly, squatting on one side and leading the second prince.The second prince casually grabbed a book beside him, then climbed to a bow and picked it up.

Immediately someone beside him praised: "Congratulations to Concubine Shu, Congratulations to Concubine Shu, His Royal Highness the Second Prince must be capable of both civil and military skills in the future."

It started, and then there was a sound of congratulations.Concubine Shu smiled gently, hugged the second prince and said: "I'm sorry, he's a kid, so he doesn't deserve such praise. I just hope that he will be healthy and healthy, and I don't ask much for the rest. .”

The queen next to her frowned slightly, and was about to speak when she heard the announcement that the emperor had come.Everyone rushed to greet the emperor.The emperor came in with a smile, walked up to Concubine Shu and touched the second prince's cheek: "My son is not bad! I will be able to relieve my worries in the future!"

As soon as the words fell, there was an exclamation from the side: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, what's wrong with you?"

The emperor, empress, and Concubine Shu all turned their heads to look in displeasure, and saw that Concubine Hu had fainted, and her maid was standing behind her anxiously half-supporting and half-embracing her.The queen quickly ordered: "What are you still doing in a daze? Hurry up and go to Doctor Xuan, you two will help Concubine Hu up and sit aside and wait."

Concubine Shu lowered her head to straighten the collar of the second prince's collar, her lowered eyelids covered the flash of cruelty in her eyes.Immediately she raised her head, and commanded with concern on her face: "Concubine Hu's complexion is a little pale, hurry up and bring some ginseng soup."

Chen Manrou looked at Concubine Shu who was full of concern, and then turned her head to look at Concubine Hu who had been carried to the chair, and saw her eyelashes move slightly.The maid next to her was clever, and immediately said: "Concubine Xie Shu, it's just that my mother was a little uncomfortable at first, and the imperial doctor said that it is best not to eat great tonics."

Concubine Shu chuckled: "Since that's the case, there's no need to prepare ginseng soup."

The queen didn't speak, and the scene was quiet.After a while, the emperor suddenly asked, "Where's the imperial doctor? Why hasn't he arrived yet? Liu Cheng, go and rush!"

Concubine Yang's complexion changed, a little concubine Hu could actually make the emperor send Liu Cheng out, this concubine Hu, it seemed, was quite capable.Moreover, this reaction... Yang Guifei turned her head to look at Concubine Shu again, and she saw Concubine Shu just lowered her head and fiddled with the buttons on the second prince's clothes, not looking at anyone else.

It didn't take long for the imperial doctor to come, and before he could speak, the emperor directly stopped him: "Excuse me, show it to Concubine Hu quickly."

The imperial doctor immediately went to Concubine Hu's side to check the pulse. After a while, his face was relaxed, with a few smiles on his face, he turned around and bowed to the emperor: "Congratulations, Your Majesty, this is the pulse of Concubine Hu, and she has been pregnant for one and a half months."

"Okay, reward!" The emperor was stunned for a moment, and then said happily. It happened that Concubine Hu woke up slowly. Seeing that everyone was thanking him, she was a little confused and confused: "What's wrong with me? Your majesty? I have seen the emperor... "

"My concubine, please get up quickly. You are pregnant now, so there is no need to be polite." The emperor quickly reached out to hold Concubine Hu. Concubine Hu looked at the emperor, and then looked down at her stomach, with an expression of disbelief: "Your Majesty, you, you said..."

"Haha, Concubine Ai is indeed pregnant with a child. This child is really a lucky star. Today, the news of the victory at the border came, and Concubine Ai gave me another big surprise. I want a reward!" Looking at the queen: "Zitong, look..."

"Your Majesty, since Concubine Hu has caught up with such a good time, why not give her a promotion?" The queen said with a smile. As soon as she said this, the audience was silent, and Han Wanyi's eyes staring at Concubine Hu almost burst into flames. .Everyone entered the palace together, but Concubine Hu was promoted two ranks in two years, who's shit luck!
Even Concubine De stared at Concubine Hu in dissatisfaction. She herself was made one of the four concubines as soon as she entered the palace. She was so proud and proud at that time.But now, it's okay to be suppressed by that bitch Chen Manrou, who will let the Chen family be reused?But if he is still suppressed by this Hu family, it would be too unreasonable!

Regardless of whether everyone is jealous or resentful, what the queen said is not accurate, everyone is waiting for the emperor to express his position.Concubine Hu's face was slightly red, her eyes rolled, and she looked at the emperor shyly: "If I can bear children for the emperor, I have already received the greatest grace, and I don't expect any extravagant rewards."

As he said that, he turned his eyes and looked at Concubine Shu again: "Besides, my concubine dare not be prettier than before. Concubine Shu's elder sister gave birth to the second prince for the emperor, and she started serving the emperor earlier than her concubine, and she has not improved her status. The concubine is even more afraid to accept this reward."

The meaning of these words was deeper, Concubine Shu almost couldn't keep the gentle smile on her face, she threw a knife look at Concubine Hu, and immediately lowered her head again.
