Harem: Biography of Concubine Qin

Chapter 149
As soon as Chen Wenxin returned to Yikun Palace, she heard the news that Concubine Yi had escaped from Yongshou Palace and went to Qianqing Palace to take off her hairpin to be punished.

"This concubine Yi, do you really think that you have not reaped the consequences of your own evil?"

Bai Lu frowned and said, "Master, do you want to send someone to bring her back?"

The matter of Yongshou Palace was tried by her and Concubine Hui together, but it was Concubine Hui who made Concubine Yi shut up in the palace and contemplate her mistakes.

If you want to bring Yipin back, it should be Concubine Hui.

She has a problem with Yipin, so it is not beautiful to rashly prevent Yipin from seeing the emperor and tell people that she intends to frame Yipin.

Concubine Hui is soft-tempered, she may not care about Concubine Yi.

But Concubine Hui's face was hurt by Concubine Yi's disrespect for resisting the decree, and this Liang Zi was settled.

Maybe Yipin came up with some trick to clear her name?
She said: "If I don't want to talk to her, I should ask Xiao Zhuo to send someone to the Qianqing Palace to see what she is trying to do to clear herself and her mother's family of their sins."

She has the right to assist the harem, and she and Concubine Hui are responsible for the matter of concubine Yi, so it is only natural to send someone to Qianqing Palace to have a look.

Maybe Concubine Hui's people are there now.

She just laughed, if Yipin can regain the Sacred Heart by her own ability, that's her business.

Even though Yipin didn't get along with her, she would definitely not stop her.

A woman without her husband's love is pitiful enough. If she doesn't even have the emperor's favor, her life will be like ashes. What fun is there?
She will not help or prevent others from getting what they want.

Bai Lu's brows frowned even deeper. If she took Yipin back to Yongshou Palace and lost the opportunity to explain to the emperor, wouldn't she be unable to turn around again?

In the future, there will be one less rival, one less person to compete with her, and one less person to frame her.

Bai Lu sighed, her master is still too kind.

Only Chen Wenxin knew that it was not simply because of kindness, but also because of pride.

Her pride is to maintain an equal relationship with her husband. If other women want to get involved, it is an opportunity for them to compete fairly. Why should she stop it?

What's more, Concubine Yi is not another woman, she is the emperor's concubine just like himself.

A man who needs to work hard to stop, pull, and retain is definitely not a good man.

She disdains to fight for such a husband.

It was getting late outside the window, she ordered Bai Lu to evacuate the iceberg, and half-lyed on the imperial concubine's couch to read a book.

Recently, she has become more and more fond of reading books on mathematics. It is not difficult to learn mathematics for a few elder brothers of this age.

It is roughly equivalent to the level of junior high school in her previous life.

She wants to learn more and explain it better to the elder brothers so that they can all learn.

Bai Lu had laughed at her before, saying that she was too serious about her promises to Concubine Hui and Concubine Rong, and she actually read the book seriously in order to teach several elder brothers.

She also found it funny.

Bai Lu is her personal maid, did she actually think that she was so kind to the elder brothers because of her promise to Concubine Hui and Concubine Rong?

She was wrong.

Those elder brothers are still children, more or less with the innocence and simplicity of children, as long as they are well guided, all of them are good children.

In the past, except for the fourth elder brother, she had no contact with other elder brothers.

This time the emperor asked her to give arithmetic lessons to several elder brothers, so that she had the opportunity to really understand them.

The elder brother is 12 years old this year, only three years younger than her.

Facing Chen Wenxin as a junior, he would inevitably feel a little embarrassed.

Fortunately, Chen Wenxin's psychological age is not more than 15 years old, she lived to be 27 years old in her previous life!

She is really like a concubine and like a gentleman, teaching them to learn arithmetic seriously.

The elder brother put aside his prejudice against her age, but admired her very much. She is only a few years older than himself, but she can learn so well.

The elder brother asked her that day if he could learn as well as her when he was 15 years old?

Chen Wenxin patted his chest and told him, "Yes, definitely."

The eldest brother is gentle and steady, while the second elder brother is much more lively and reckless.

The second elder brother she knew in the past should be a brat who would act recklessly just because the adults liked him.

He is the only son of the emperor, and the emperor loves him very much, so he is naturally much more delicate.

After getting to know her, I found out that this child lost his mother since he was a child, and in his heart he longs for the love of his elders, especially women.

So he liked to cling to Chen Wenxin very much, and told her how he took care of Chen Wenli and Chen Wenxin at Elder Brother's office.

He acted like this, which made the fourth elder brother a little jealous several times.

To her surprise, when the fourth elder brother was jealous, the second elder brother did not bully him by virtue of his identity.

Instead, he said to the fourth elder brother, "Don't keep robbing Qin Erniang, the second brother will treat you to rose marinated cakes, okay?"

The fourth elder brother became closer to the second elder brother because of this.

In fact, he was not bought by Rose Lusu, but Chen Wenxin told him privately that he wanted to have a good relationship with his brothers.
-
Especially the second elder brother.

The third elder brother is the most timid and weak among the several elder brothers. Perhaps because of the better relationship with Concubine Rong, the third elder brother is also much friendlier to her.

Looking at the night outside the window, she remembered the smiling faces of those children, and continued to read "Nine Chapters of Arithmetic" in her hand.

In the Qianqing Palace covered by the same night, the emperor also stood in front of the window, looking out of the window and thinking.

Li Dequan stood behind him and watched, only feeling that the emperor's figure seemed to be getting thinner.

Maybe it's because I haven't seen the concubine Qin for ten days?

He already had experience this time, and knew why the emperor was angry, so he didn't dare to speak nonsense.

This happened once when the concubine Qin was still around.

At that time, the empress told her mother's brother Chen Wenren that the Chen family should keep a low profile and not make friends with ministers.

The sentence that the emperor just treated her as a plaything made the emperor so angry that he couldn't sleep all night.

It was only later that I realized that it was a misunderstanding. The concubine Qin didn't know the emperor's sincerity, but she warned her mother's family by emphasizing her words.

Only this time, will the emperor resolve this misunderstanding?
The concubine Qin wrote a letter to the censor Xiangming in private, and asked Chen Wenyi and Wang Xi to find a way to keep him.

But she didn't mention this in front of the emperor.

When she talked about the dish of eight treasures mixed with sauce, she was clearly speaking well for Xiang Ming.

The emperor tested her once, saying that she was pleading for Xiang Ming, but she quickly dismissed it.

This made the emperor feel very disappointed.

It was the first time for Chen Wenxin to intervene in government affairs behind his back like this.

Maybe she agrees with Xiang Ming's proposition, maybe Xiang Ming himself has some relationship with the Chen family.

No matter what it is for, as long as she tells herself that she wants to protect Xiangming.

There was no need to bother to find Chen Wenyi to find Wang Xi, he would definitely do what she wanted.

But she would rather give up her own shortcut, and go to help Xiang Ming privately behind his back.

This made the emperor feel very angry.

He is her husband and her monarch, why can't he be the person she trusts the most?

In the past, wasn't she the one who trusted herself the most?

Since when did she stop being unreserved about herself?
Yes, he knows.

Is it because of the incident in Yangzhou that he doubted her, and she is still brooding about it, right?
Because of his suspicion, she no longer trusted herself.

But at that time, she was kidnapped by the gangsters for five or six days, and her whereabouts were unknown, so how could he not doubt it?

For any man, can he tolerate his wife's innocence being tarnished?

What he did was justifiable, if he said something wrong, it would mean that he still had doubts when Chen Wenxin told himself that she was innocent.

Maybe she thought that she would no longer trust what she said.

So, let's not talk about it at all, shall we?
He laughed wryly.

Such suspicion, once it starts, can't it stop?
Could it be that he and Chen Wenxin couldn't go back?
This incident is like a crack in the mirror, which has been lying between the two of them.

Broken mirror, how to reunite...

The emperor sighed.

Li Dequan tentatively said: "Your Majesty, Madam Yipin is still taking off her hairpin outside, do you think you want to see her?"

The emperor did not personally go to Yongshou Palace to interrogate Yipin, but his eyes and ears have already told him everything about Yongshou Palace today.

Concubine Yi violated the palace ban and used musk for private use, which was already a serious crime.

And that Haihong was instructed by someone to increase the amount of Xiangji Wan in her.

She has tasted the consequences and can no longer bear children.

What's more, Concubine Hui has already ordered her to contemplate her mistakes behind closed doors in the Yongshou Palace, what tricks does she have to play, what is she going to do in Qing Palace?
The emperor frowned, and Li Dequan agreed.

"If the emperor doesn't want to see Madam Yipin, I will order someone to take her back to Yongshou Palace to contemplate behind closed doors."

"Busy."

The emperor suddenly thought of something, suppressed his annoyance and said: "For the sake of the fact that she just gave birth to my fifth elder brother, just listen to what she has to say."

"Yes."

Li Dequan led the order to retreat outside Qianqing Palace, and saw Concubine Yi, who was wearing plain clothes and without hairpins or makeup.

She was kneeling on the brick floor outside Qianqing Palace, and she seemed to still have a faint musky smell, which made Li Dequan feel goose bumps all over her body.

It doesn't matter that he is a eunuch, but he is afraid that if he gets this smell, he will be disgusted when he goes to meet the empresses and masters in the harem.

"Empress Yipin, the emperor invites you in."

Yipin was overjoyed, "Really?"

She has been kneeling for half an hour, afraid that the emperor will see her again, and she will be captured by Concubine Qin and Concubine Hui.

Thankfully, the emperor finally agreed to see her.

Hong Yao supported her, and she slowly got up while rubbing her knees.

There was a stern smile on her face.

As long as she can meet the emperor, she still has a chance.

She must sit firmly in this position to find out who framed her...
