Harem for a living

Chapter 83

"Congratulations, Concubine Hui, you are very happy." Li Yuyi said with a happy face, Chen Manrou couldn't help twitching the corners of her mouth behind the screen, no wonder Li Yuyi was reused by the emperor, look at this carefulness , Realistic performance, as if it wasn't the Ximai he diagnosed five days ago.

"Really? Can Doctor Li make a diagnosis?" Chen Manrou also showed surprise on her face, and asked in a series of voices. After asking more than ten times in a row, Doctor Li also twitched the corners of her mouth when she asked, so she was very happy. commanded to give a reward.

"Thank you, Yu doctor Li. I will send someone to announce the good news to the emperor and empress, and I will trouble Yu doctor Li to follow to Qianqing Palace." Although Chen Manrou's servants can do the good news, Li Yu Doctors are the main messengers.

"I can't afford to be tired. This is the duty of a humble official. For the first three months, it is best for Concubine Hui not to be too tired. After three months, move around more and eat more nourishing things on weekdays." But don’t eat too much shark’s fin and bird’s nest, it’s the first time for Concubine Hui to conceive, so the fetus in her stomach shouldn’t be too big.”

Doctor Li was very responsible, and he said the precautions that he had said before. Chen Manrou nodded while listening. When he finished speaking, he immediately asked Director Ming to lead him out, and the two went directly to Qianqing Palace.

As for the queen, it was enough to send someone there.Chen Manrou thought for a while, but someone passed on the chariot, and she went to report the letter in person, and handed over the power in her hand by the way.The queen received the news relatively quickly. When Chen Manrou was still listening to Li Yuyi's teaching, the news of her pregnancy had almost spread throughout the palace.

"Your Majesty, I'm here to announce the good news to you." Chen Manrou bowed to the Queen with a happy face, the Queen's face was still gentle, and she raised her hand slightly: "Get up quickly, what's the happy event right now?"

"Just now, Doctor Li came to ask for Ping'an's pulse, and said that my concubine has been pregnant for nearly two months." Chen Manrou said quickly, with a blush on her face, she was a little embarrassed, and slightly timid and uneasy .

The queen immediately showed a smiling face: "Really? What did Yu doctor Li say? Are you in good health? Is the baby in your stomach also in good condition?"

"Physician Li said that my concubine's health is quite good, as long as I pay attention to it." Chen Manrou said quickly, she did not ignore the Queen's displeasure flashed for a moment, but she was sure that the Queen could figure it out.When the queen was still not sure about the gender of the child in her womb, she would not attack Chen Manrou, who was not a threat to her at all.

No matter how good the eldest prince is, he still needs the support of his brothers.Even if he doesn't support him, he still needs a brother to show respect as a brother and friend.

What's more, who said that the child in Chen Manrou's belly must be a prince?

"That's really a happy event. Have you sent someone to tell the emperor? There are also the Palace of Compassion and Peace and Palace of Ci'an, have people sent news to them?" The queen asked with joy, and Chen Manrou rubbed the handkerchief. The son replied: "Physician Li has already gone to Qianqing Palace. As soon as my concubine heard the good news, I hurried to tell you, Empress, that the Compassionate Ning Palace and Ci'an Palace have not had time to send people there."

"That's just right, you don't need to send someone over there, I will send someone to deliver the letter." The queen said immediately, she would be a fool to refuse to send something to show her kindness.Chen Manrou also quickly nodded in response. Anyway, according to her observation, the queen is a standard virtuous person, which means that as long as she follows her footsteps, she will be safe even if she does not reach the height of Concubine Yang.

"Empress, I have one more thing to do..." After the Empress gave a few more words to rest and recuperate, Chen Manrou said with a little embarrassment: "The empress trusts this concubine, so I let this concubine help with the palace affairs. It's just that the concubine is pregnant with a child now..."

"So it's this, you don't need to worry, since you are pregnant, you should pay more attention to rest in the future, and you must not be tired." The queen immediately said gently: "These trivial matters, I just find someone else to deal with them. What you have in your belly is also the emperor's heir, nothing is more important than the emperor's heir."

"Thank you for your understanding." Chen Manrou hurriedly said with a smile: "The concubine sent someone to send back the account book?"

"Well, let someone get it." The queen nodded, frowned and thought for a while, then asked: "Who do you think this palace should ask to take over these things?"

"I think Sister Concubine Liu is pretty good. She is a bright and generous person. A few days ago, I asked Sister Concubine Liu to help with the calculation, but it turned out that Sister Concubine Liu did the calculation quickly and well." Chen Manrou hurriedly said: "It's all It's my concubine's point of view, who should be sent, or the empress's decision."

"Concubine Liu is a good one, but her status is not as good as Concubine De's." At that time, she promoted Chen Manruo and Concubine De, just because the two of them had similar identities and seemed to be at odds with each other, so she balanced it of.Now that Concubine Liu is changed, there is a bit of a mismatch in identity.Maybe, Concubine De is about to go crazy.

"Then Concubine Shu?" This is purely a nomination, the queen just shook her head, held the cup and thought for a while, looked at Chen Manrou and said, "We'll talk about this later, you don't have to think about these things when you're pregnant. Are there enough medicinal materials in your palace?"

"Wangxiang, go and get that ginseng from the treasury of the palace." Before Chen Manrou could reply, the queen ordered, "There are also white peony root, astragalus root, scutellaria baicalensis and poria cocos. Prepare some for Concubine Hui."

Individuals have different physiques, and different prescriptions for pregnancy protection are also prescribed, so some medicinal materials can be used, and some can't.Doctor Li didn't prescribe a prescription for Chen Manrou at that time, so the queen could only order some people to prepare some commonly used ones.

"Your Majesty, absolutely not, you are also pregnant with a child. I am in good health, so I don't need to take medicine at all. Besides, there are some medicinal materials in the warehouse of Zhongcui Palace, so you don't have to worry about it." Chen Manrou hurriedly declined, the empress He reached out and patted the back of her hand: "I'll give it to you, so you just take it. Anyway, there are plenty of medicinal materials in this palace, and the emperor also said that if there is something missing in this palace, just go to him to get it." .”

"Some time ago, both the emperor and the Empress Dowager Ci'an rewarded me with a batch of medicinal materials, and I thought it would go bad." The queen mentioned a few words intentionally or unintentionally. value.

Chen Manrou hurriedly answered: "The emperor and the Empress Dowager Ci'an value the Empress Empress. You are the Empress of Zhonggong Yuan, and the little prince in your stomach is the son of the eldest son. The Emperor and the Empress Dowager Ci'an must pay attention to them. Concubine Wan Wan I can't ask for your medicinal materials, otherwise, the concubine will have no way to explain to the emperor and Empress Dowager Ci'an."

"Don't worry, I know it well." Seeing that Chen Manrou's attitude was as respectful as always, and she could recognize her identity clearly, the queen was even more satisfied.Anyway, she couldn't let her own children stay in the harem, so she could only win over the biological mothers of other princes as much as possible.If you really can't win them over, try to find a way to get rid of them.

Soon, Jin Huan came back with the account book, and Huai Xin came back together, Chen Manrou looked at Huai Xin, and said to the queen: "Originally, no matter who took over the account book, the concubine should explain it carefully. Let’s clarify what’s on the books.”

"It's just that my concubine is a bit clumsy. Thinking that Huaxin has read the account books these days, I want Huaxin to explain it on my behalf." Chen Manrou said, her face slightly embarrassed: "Original Huaxin is the queen. The concubine gave it to my concubine, but I really don't want to give it to someone else. However, you are pregnant after all, so you can't send another person from Yongshou Palace. Anyway, there are few things for the concubine, and you don't need too much. man, so..."

Chen Manrou was really depressed, she originally planned to keep the ears and eyes of being a queen.It's just that she didn't expect that Huai Xin was really restless. In just a few days, she went out of the Zhongcui Palace more than a dozen times, and from time to time hinted that Jin Huan Duoyue would give her some jewelry and silver or something.I really thought Zhongcui Palace was a bank!
The queen was silent for a while before taking up the conversation: "In that case, let Huaxin come back first."

Although understandable, the queen was still a little unhappy.The unhappy queen was not interested in chatting, so Chen Manrou tactfully got up and left.

"Your Majesty, the reward from Yongshou Palace has arrived." As soon as Chen Manrou came in and sat down, Jin Huan hurried in and said, Chen Manrou hurriedly got up to receive the Queen's order.Next, after a series of rewards from the Emperor, Empress Dowager Ci Ning, and Empress Dowager Ci'an, Chen Manrou knelt down a little dizzy.

"Director Ming, you take Xiaoxizi and Xiaolezi and clean up a room in the apse as a warehouse. All the rewards and gifts from others during this period will be sent directly to the new warehouse. Joy, you still remember account."

After finishing speaking, he confessed in a low voice worriedly: "After writing it down, don't forget to wash it with hot water, and don't stick anything smelly. Let Duanyue go with you, anyway, you have to pay attention to everything."

As soon as she finished explaining on her side, Concubine Yang Gui sent another reward, this one didn't need to kneel, she just bowed and stuffed her purse, and asked someone to move the things to the back.

Then Concubine Liu and others, and even Concubine Hu, who lives near Ci'an Palace, sent people to bring gifts.Chen Manrou didn't even touch those gifts at all, and just sent them directly to the new warehouse.

After tossing and tossing for a long time, it finally calmed down. Chen Manrou called Beiting: "Has anyone sent any news these days?"

"Your Majesty, this servant is just trying to tell you about this." Bei Ting stood aside and bowed to Chen Manrou, and then said in a low voice, "Qi Mei entered the palace during the draft in the third year of Yonghe, and her father is a sixth-rank military academy. , used to be a soldier of old Mrs. Chen's generals. He only got an official position when the emperor came to the throne. The old man sent a letter saying that you can use Qimei, if you use it well, he will take care of Qimei's family. "

Chen Manrou nodded, touched her chin and thought for a while, the old man's meaning was obvious, if Qi Meiren was loyal to him, then he could help Qi Meiren's father get promoted.If Qi Meiren is careless, the Chen family can throw Qi Meiren's family out of the capital later, so that Qi Meiren can no longer rely on them.

So, from the looks of it now, Qi Meiren can use it?
