Harem: Biography of Concubine Qin

Chapter 158

Only then did Chen Wenxin look directly at the emperor.

He is still the former sword-browed star-eyed, Fengshen Langjun.It's just that there is less warmth in the eyes, and more alienation and indifference.

Such a familiar face, yet so unfamiliar.

He asked the second elder brother to sit back in his seat, which was blatantly hitting her in the face.

If the emperor really felt that Yu Li was not suitable, he would not have let her teach arithmetic lessons to his elder brothers.

That's just because of Yu Changzai's words.

The emperor pursed his lips, he must be like this, so she would look at him, right?
She was plumper than when she first returned to the palace, and she had regained her previous figure.

At that time, I had a lingering illness in Yangzhou, and because I was full of grievances, I lost a lot of weight.

Is she not wronged now?

The look in her eyes was clearly filled with resentment.

The eyes of the two met in the air, each had a deep knot in their hearts, and when they met, it was cold.

No one has ever taken an extra step towards anyone, and seen the blood in their hearts through that layer of ice light.

The corners of her mouth were slightly raised, with a hint of self-deprecating smile.

Perhaps, this is the period of emotional boredom.

Ordinary people have it, but she and the emperor are the only ones?

It's a pity that ordinary families don't have so many wives and concubines. The husband and wife are tired of quarreling, and they must reconcile after staying with each other.

The emperor is different, he is tired of this concubine, he can go to that concubine.

What about the concubines?
In the day after day of waiting, I gradually became disappointed until I despaired.

It seems that the emperor is the most proud, but in fact this kind of behavior will only make him unable to receive any sincerity.

In the end, he became a loner on the unreliable dragon chair in the tall hall.

how sad.

Thinking of this, she was relieved.

That was the emperor's own choice, he was willing to be a loner on the dragon chair, she couldn't change it.

She also knew in the past that being favored cannot be for a lifetime, and she also has a day of being old.

But she is only 15 years old.

The love between husband and wife in the past is now a severance.

"What the emperor said..."

After staring at each other for as long as a century, she calmly withdrew her gaze, nodded and answered every word.

"Very much."

Everyone noticed the delicate atmosphere between the two of them.

It is understandable that Concubine Qin has resentment towards the emperor.

The emperor suddenly stopped favoring his concubine Qin, it was indeed a bit unfeeling.When she was favored in the past, she taught her elder brothers to calculate, why didn't the emperor say that Yu Li was at odds with her?
Now that another standard has been changed, it would be too unfair to do things.

The emperor withdrew his gaze, and turned to Concubine Hui.

"I'm here to celebrate your birthday, don't disturb the good atmosphere of your gathering."

Concubine Hui smiled softly, "It's not only the honor of the concubines that the emperor can come, but all the younger sisters are with Mu Ende. Why bother?"

"I'll just write a birthday character in hand, to celebrate the birthday of my concubine."

Concubine Hui hurriedly saluted and thanked her, "My concubine thanks the emperor for his kindness."

Li Dequan had already prepared a pen, ink, paper and inkstone, and two young eunuchs carried a book case for the emperor to write on.

The emperor stood still in front of the case, and all the concubines gathered around to watch.

Concubine Rong said: "Every year, Concubine Hui's birthday, the emperor will write birthday characters for her in handwriting. My sister is really lucky."

"Since you are envious of Concubine Hui, when your birthday comes this year, I will also write a picture for you."

The emperor dipped his pen in the ink and said these words without lifting his head, which flattered Concubine Rong.

"The concubine will first thank the emperor for his kindness."

As soon as the emperor came, Concubine Yi regained her confidence, and satirized Concubine Rong: "The emperor wrote the word "Shou" in hand, making Elder Concubine Rong so happy? You don't even look at Concubine Qin's birthday, then..."

Before she finished speaking, she quickly closed her mouth.

Because the emperor looked up at her coldly.

Even Yu Changzai, who was always close to the emperor, looked at her disdainfully with the eyes of an idiot.

You idiot, do you think you are mocking Concubine Rong?
If you say that, the one who feels the most uncomfortable is the emperor.

The emperor's cold look seemed to make Yipin see the cold palace.

"Miss Yipin, it's a hot day, why are you shivering?"

The little expert Dingchang has been quieter recently, but Yipin is deflated, can she really let it go easily?
"Could it be that you, like Concubine Qin, used icebergs at will to blow more icy wind?"

It was Ding who did not boast, so he thought she was quiet, and she became frivolous again.

Chen Wenxin couldn't help but find it funny, this Ding family is simply a living treasure.

It's just that she made a wrong calculation and wanted to stab Yipin and Chen Wenxin with one sentence.

In fact, it was the emperor who was stabbed, right?

Sure enough, the emperor's writing hand trembled.

"The flood in the Jiangsu area has just passed, so the palace should not be too extravagant, and you can avoid such things as using icebergs at will in the future."

Only Chen Wenxin in the palace has this privilege, the emperor's words are revoking her privilege.

She saluted indifferently and said: "The concubine obeys the order."

Originally, these were the privileges of a concubine, but she was no longer a concubine, so naturally she couldn't use them.

Fortunately, according to her rules, she can use the iceberg twice a day before noon, so she can barely use it.

Dingchang didn't expect that his words satirized Yipin, but instead made Chen Wenxin a victim.

She has no interest in suppressing a concubine who fell out of favor, this is a mistake.

For some reason, the calmer Chen Wenxin became, the more everyone felt that there was something strange about her falling out of favor.

If she showed some sad expression, others would think it normal.

She is not arrogant or impatient, not in a hurry, what kind of performance does a 15-year-old girl fall out of favor with?
I didn't realize before that Concubine Qin is really calm and generous, worthy of being the emperor's favorite concubine.

It's not just beauty that wins grace.

Dingchang was suddenly a little confused, should she wear Hanfu like Chen Wenxin?

Or should she also learn that arithmetic...

Although this is a test of her brain flexibility.

Forget it, she comforted herself, she has already fallen out of favor, so what's the use of imitating her.

The wall fell and everyone pushed, the emperor revoked her privilege to use the iceberg at will, and told everyone.
-
From now on, the concubine Qin is no longer a favorite concubine.

Concubine Hui looked intently at the emperor's writing brush, the fine snow wave paper, bearing the emperor's imperial brush, did not show the flamboyant handwriting.

What the emperor wrote was a cursive character, but it was written stroke by stroke, which seemed a bit stiff.

Taken together, there is nothing wrong with it, only the process reveals the restlessness of the writer.

She narrowed her eyes slightly, feeling that the word "Shou" really resembled the big red kites that filled the sky on Concubine Qin's birthday...

The emperor dropped the last point, and everyone praised it in time.

"The emperor's handwriting is getting better and better. Is this a cursive handwriting?"

"This character is written with the spirit of a dragon and a horse. You can tell at a glance that it can only be written by the emperor."

"It's really good, when the emperor can write me a picture..."

The word "emperor" was written for Concubine Hui, but Concubine Hui knew that the word "emperor" was not written smoothly.

He didn't like his own words either.

Concubine Hui just said: "Thank you, Your Majesty, for the imperial pen."

The emperor hummed lightly, and didn't pay attention to the compliments from the surrounding concubines.

Flattery must be done at the right time, and that will make people happy.

He hesitated and paused several times for this pen today, the word has no shape and no character.

None of these concubines can read big characters, how can they know what characters are good and bad?

He couldn't help looking at Chen Wenxin, she was also taught calligraphy by herself, would she be able to see it?

Chen Wenxin stood at the outermost part of the crowd, with her hands folded in front of her body, she was slightly fascinated by the word "Shou".

It was often said in the former palace that Chen Wenxin had the temperament of an iceberg beauty, and she always had a cold expression even towards the concubines.

The emperor has never seen her cold.

When she was by his side, her expression was agile, casual, lively and delicate.

And she was standing outside the concubines at the moment, clearly only a mere step away, as far as the sky and the sea.

He was like an ordinary person in her life who no longer aroused her enthusiasm.

This estrangement, as calm as lake water, annoyed him more and more.

He held Jin Hao's hand, and the knuckles turned white from tightening.

"emperor."

Li Dequan reminded that if the emperor continued to hold it, the gold would definitely be broken.

Yuchang was watching the change of the emperor's expression with cold eyes, how could she not see that the emperor had no more affection for the concubine Qin?

There must be some misunderstanding between them that is hard to let go, and this concubine Qin has an arrogant temperament, and she is unwilling to bow her head to the emperor.

She sneered in her heart, Han women are hypocritical, these concubines of noble origin always put face and self-esteem more than anything else.

In her opinion, the position and benefits gained from the emperor's favor are the most important.

How much is face worth?

Chastity or something is even less valuable.

Even if the emperor dotes on her because he is angry with Concubine Qin, she doesn't mind.

Since the emperor wanted to vent his anger, she would follow the emperor's mind and help him vent his anger.

Yuchang smiled, looked in Chen Wenxin's direction, pretending to be surprised and said: "Oh, why is the concubine Qin standing so far away? Do you think the emperor's handwriting is not good?"
