Harem: Biography of Concubine Qin

Chapter 140 The Emperor's Disposition

So Chen Wenxin told Debi, like sweet potatoes, bitter gourds, and cucumbers, the more you eat, the slimmer you will be.

"Really?"

Concubine De was dubious, "I always heard that if you eat too much, you will gain weight, and the more you eat, the slimmer you will be?"

Chen Wenxin smiled and said, "Sister, do you remember that in summer, I said that applying ice cubes to the face can make the skin delicate?"

Debi was stunned for a moment, how did she know that she also used this method?
She smiled and said, "I believed in me back then, so what are you still doubting now?"

She used a declarative tone, not a question.

Concubine De was a little embarrassed, "Then please teach me, my sister, I will save my fourth elder brother and eat light food with me in the future."

Dare she leave for the past three months, is it because the fourth elder brother is so thin because he is hungry?
Chen Wenxin couldn't laugh or cry.

The two of them were discussing vegetables that can make the waist slim, and here the maid of Yonghe Palace came in to report.

"Return to master, empress Qin. The news from Qianqing Palace made the emperor very angry."

When the emperor was angry, the harem trembled three times.

Depin asked: "Do you know why the emperor is angry?"

The palace lady replied: "It is said that it is a censor named Xiang Ming, and the above table tells the emperor to open the customs and do more business with Western countries."

Doesn't this opinion coincide with what I want to say to the emperor?
Chen Wenxin stood up in surprise, "Does the Emperor disagree with him?"

"Huiqin concubine, the emperor not only disagrees, but is also very angry, so angry that he waved his hands and left."

Can such a proposal make the emperor so angry?

Seeing that her expression was different, Debi asked suspiciously: "What's wrong with my sister, why are you so excited?"

Could it be that Xiang Ming has something to do with her?

Chen Wenxin realized that she had lost her composure, and hurriedly came over, "No, I just thought that the emperor is so angry, how should I comfort him."

Debi nodded, "Yes, you'd better go to Qianqing Palace to have a look."

"Then I'll take my leave."

The two stood up to greet each other with blessings, and the fourth elder brother also came up to salute Chen Wenxin, reluctantly saying: "When will Chen Erniang come again next time?"

For him, Chen Wenxin wiped off the crumbs of the crystal rock sugar cake from the corner of his mouth with a handkerchief, and said with a smile: "I come and go often, the fourth elder brother misses Chen Erniang, so I told your Erniang to come to Yikun Palace to play, understand?" ?”

The fourth elder brother nodded vigorously.

When she came out of Yonghe Palace, she saw Li Dequan coming from the direction of Yikun Palace.

When he saw Chen Wenxin, it was as if he had seen a life-saving straw, "Please concubine Jin An."

She hurriedly said: "Grandpa, please excuse me, you are from Yikun Palace?"

Li Dequan breathed a sigh of relief, "A moment ago, the servant went to Yikun Palace to look for the empress, and Bailu said that the empress came to Yonghe Palace to talk to the empress de concubine, so she rushed here again."

"Eunuch is so anxious, is it because of the emperor's anger in the early court?"

Li Dequan said: "It seems that the empress has already heard about this matter, the emperor is now so angry that he smashed two teacups in Qianqing Palace. Only empress' persuasion will work."

Li Dequan ran out to look for her, the one suffering in Qianqing Palace should be Xiao Lizi, right?
It seems that this time the emperor really got angry, and Li Dequan didn't dare to stay in Qianqing Palace anymore.

She said: "I was in the Yonghe Palace just now, and I have already heard from Debi's elder sister's palace servant. If this is the case, let's go quickly."

She should go to Qianqing Palace to comfort the emperor, but she couldn't think of how to persuade her.

Her heart is the same as Xiang Ming's point of view.

I didn't expect the emperor's reaction to be so intense. Fortunately, I haven't found an opportunity to mention this.

She suddenly felt that what she had done was really wrong, why did she agree to the emperor's calculation with the Spanish envoy.

In this way, the emperor is even more complacent, thinking that the Qing Dynasty is much more advanced than Western countries.
-
Of course, the Qing Dynasty in the Kangxi Dynasty was indeed more powerful than Western countries.

But this situation will soon be reversed, and by the beginning of the Qianlong Dynasty, everything will undergo a qualitative leap.

Naturally, these words cannot be said to the emperor.

How can I not go against my will to comfort the emperor, but also let the emperor calm down?
She really had a headache.

In the Qianqing palace, the emperor was really furious.

There are broken pieces of porcelain splashed everywhere on the ground, with the pattern of flying dragon painted in gold on them, which are the teacups commonly used by the emperor.

Xiao Lizi stood at the bottom and waited, with his head lowered to his chest, not daring to say a word.

With his master not around, he had to be honest so as not to offend the emperor.

When the emperor was usually angry, if he dropped something, the palace servants would come up and quickly pick it up.

Today, these pieces of broken porcelain are lying on the ground like this, the emperor must not allow them to pick them up.

Chen Wenxin sighed, and knelt down to pick up those pieces of porcelain painted with gold.

"My lady..."

Xiao Lizi accidentally exclaimed, the emperor looked up, wasn't it Chen Wenxin who was picking up the broken porcelain pieces on the ground?

"Your Majesty came in and didn't know to report, how could you be so poor!"

The emperor looked at the timid little Lizi and cursed angrily.

I saw Chen Wenxin squatting on the ground, her fingers were bleeding red, and she was blowing on her lips.

"Put it down quickly, why do you have to pick it up yourself?"

The emperor came down anxiously to look at her fingers. There was a wound on her fingertips cut by the tiles, and blood was flowing out.

Fingers connected to her heart, she gasped in pain.

"Your Majesty, don't blame Xiao Lizi. Usually when I come in, they won't let me know."

Chen Wenxin didn't explain the difference between entering Qianqing Palace and entering Yikun Palace. She won't go to the place where politics is discussed before, and she can walk around as she pleases later.

The emperor frowned and said to Xiao Lizi: "Hurry up and get gauze and medicine."

He helped Chen Wenxin to sit on the couch and waited. After Xiao Lizi brought the bandage, Chen Wenxin said sullenly: "This is a small injury, so there is no need to bandage it?"

"Nonsense, it's bleeding, why don't you bandage it?"

Chen Wen said anxiously: "But it won't look good after bandaging, and the armor can't be worn anymore."

The emperor held her hand and looked at her injured ring finger, with an inch-long crystal nail on it.

These nails have been kept since Chen Wenxin was still around, and now they have been raised for more than half a year to have this length.

If the fingertips were bandaged and the armor could not be worn, then half a year of thought would be in vain.

"I'll bandage you up so you can still wear the armor."

The emperor personally took the small medicine bottle with a thin neck and round belly, and pushed the blood from her fingertips to let the dirty blood flow out.

Then he pulled off the seal of the medicine bottle, and lightly shook a little white powder on her fingertips.

"Pain Pain!"

She grinned.

"Be patient."

The emperor stared at her dissatisfied, who told her to be so careless and pick up the tiles by herself?
She just kept her mouth shut.

The emperor evenly wrapped the top section of her finger with gauze, and finally cut the end of the gauze in the middle to form two thin threads.

He wrapped the two threads around Chen Wenxin's fingers, and then tied a knot with a short tail.

Chen Wenxin put on the armor for a try, and it happened to fit.

"Your Majesty is so powerful, even an imperial physician can do it!"

She looked at the emperor with starry eyes, and was very satisfied with the fact that the armor could still be worn.

The emperor rubbed her head, and said disdainfully, "You flatter me again."

But his smug eyes betrayed himself, Chen Wenxin could see that his anger had eased a lot.

Li Dequan let out a deep breath beside him. Fortunately, the emperor finally stopped being angry.

She waved Li Dequan and others back, and talked with the emperor on the couch.

"I just heard Xuan Ye was furious, but it shocked me."

The emperor snorted coldly, "Li Dequan, this slave, is getting bolder and bolder. He ran to find you before I spoke."

He thought the emperor didn't know, did he go to avoid disaster?
Chen Wenxin chuckled, "Jiang is still old and hot, but Xiao Lizi is not so clever, knowing that he is far away from the emperor."

Little Lizi might also want to find Chen Wenxin as an errand, but his arms can't twist his thighs, so how can he beat Li Dequan.

The emperor thought about the incident in the court again, "This Xiang Ming is really unreasonable, he is very good, just after the competition with the Western envoy, he brought this up to spoil my interest!"

If it was Kessler who won this time, perhaps the emperor would humbly admit that certain techniques from the West were better than those from the Qing Dynasty.

It happened that Chen Wenxin won, and Xiang Ming made a fuss about it.

She followed the emperor's back, "Although this person is disgusting, Xuan Ye can't make himself angry, and then break the rules of the ancestors for him."

The emperor said that he was disgusting, so Chen Wenxin followed his words.

He threw the booklet on the hall in court today, and became so angry that he almost violated the rules set by his ancestors that officials should not be beaten or scolded.

The emperor said: "If it wasn't for the rules of our ancestors, I wouldn't just throw face and leave. I have to teach him a good lesson."

His anger is not purely because of today.

This Xiang Ming was the champion of Enke seven years ago. He had practiced under the Imperial Academy for many years, and he was just appointed as the Yushi of Youqian Capital this year.

He has submitted several papers, hoping that the emperor can open the customs.

Usually it's not that bad, the emperor just dismissed his papers and didn't criticize him much.

Today is the time when all the officials in the court congratulate the emperor for displaying his national prestige, but he is still so ignorant.The emperor's anger finally reached the critical point, and he vented it all at once.

"Then, how will Xuan Ye deal with Xiang Ming?"

She suddenly thought of the fact that the harem is not allowed to engage in politics, so she quickly covered her mouth and said: "The concubine made a mistake."

The emperor knew that she was just curious and had no intention of intervening in politics.

Besides, if he could tell her about Xiang Ming, he would naturally say it completely.

"I want to relegate him to a local place to be a county magistrate or something. If you don't see him, you're pure!"

The emperor seems to really hate him. If he is the censor of the fourth-rank Youqin capital to the seventh-rank magistrate, it will be a continuous surrender...

Chen Wenxin was shocked, and dropped three ranks in a row, which would be a sixth rank.

Is such a punishment too severe?
If Xiang Ming can be recorded in the history books, he will definitely be praised as a prophet of future generations.

"Xiang Ming, Xiang Ming..."

The emperor repeated a few words of his name, angrily said: "This fellow is so rebellious even with his name!"
