Harem: Biography of Concubine Qin

Chapter 167 Crisis of Trust
The emperor put the raised little silver spoon back into the bowl, looked at her appearance, and sighed deeply.

"Didn't you say you were hungry just now? Why don't you want to eat now?"

The emperor simply didn't know what to do with her, this temper was just like a child's.

Chen Wenxin still lowered her head, and said in a muffled voice, "Let Bailu hey."

You are mad at him, so you don't even want to eat the food he feeds you?
In a moment of panic, he simply put the bowl on the low table, turned her body around, and made her look up at him.

When she raised her head slightly, the emperor realized that she was in tears.

This crying made the emperor's heart ache, and he directly wiped her tears with his sleeve.

The tears were like a broken bead curtain, no matter how you wiped them, there were still tears falling down.

"Niannian, don't cry, it's my fault."

It's always right to admit mistakes, let her stop crying and drink porridge first, that's the most important thing.

The duty of the emperor is to have three wives and four concubines. He just doted on one more Yu Changzai. What right does she have to be angry?

The emperor suspected that she should be, she did help Xiang Ming behind the emperor's back.

She understands the truth, but it is still difficult to pass this level emotionally.

If she hadn't had the expectation of being a couple from generation to generation, perhaps she should be content and be one of the emperor's favorite concubines peacefully.

Treat all the affection given by the emperor as grace, not love.

It's a pity that she positioned the wrong emperor and herself in the first place.

The relationship between the two of them was not an ordinary couple.

"The emperor is not bad, the emperor is doing it, just like an emperor."

What she said was clearly the truth, but she was so sad that she wanted to cry even more.

The emperor was slightly stunned when he heard the words, what do you mean, the emperor acted like an emperor?
What she meant was that he is now the emperor, but not Niannian's Xuan Ye...

How long has he not heard the word Xuan Ye from her mouth.

"You want to part with me at ease, don't you?"

The emperor frowned and looked at her, "Because I dote on Yuchang and neglect you, are you so angry with me?"

When these words came out of the emperor's mouth, it was a fact that he personally admitted.

Chen Wen blushed with anger, his chest rose and fell violently, as if he had many words to refute him.
-
In the end it was not spoken.

She can't lose her temper with the emperor now, she wants to leave the palace and never see the emperor again.

Then don't be impulsive now.

Seeing her like this, the emperor gave in again, "Listen to me, actually..."

Chen Wenxin raised her head, her bright eyes filled with tears.

She struggled to get up, kneeled on the bed, and kowtowed in the direction of the emperor.

The emperor hurriedly supported her, "You just lay down and said, what are you doing when you get up again?"

She is weak, and she can't eat even though the food is right next to her.

But she knelt persistently, pushed the emperor's hand, and said: "If the emperor still cares about the past half of the concubine, I will ask the emperor to agree to send the concubine out of the palace to visit relatives."

As soon as she woke up, apart from eating, she was thinking about going out of the palace.

The emperor faintly felt that something was wrong, he had the illusion that Chen Wenxin wanted to run away.

She is a child with a temperament, and it is not surprising to do such things on impulse.

The emperor said: "You are in such a body now, how can you still leave the palace?"

"Even if I die, I want to die outside the palace, lest my soul escape the Forbidden City."

Her blunt words made the emperor frown.

She actually hates the palace so much.

"not to mention……"

She looked at the emperor and said: "There are too many people in this palace who want me to die. If I continue to stay, there is no guarantee that what happened today will not happen again. I am in such a state now, I just want to go home to recuperate, nothing else."

If you just go home to recuperate, the emperor has nothing to disagree with.

He remembered the promise he had made to Chen Xihai, once Chen Wenxin woke up, he would let her go out of the palace to visit her relatives.

Now that Chen Wenxin has woken up, she is still as persistent as she was in the letter to Chen Xihai.

The emperor picked up the bowl of porridge again, "If you are willing to drink the porridge obediently, I will agree."

Where did she want to go out of the palace to recuperate, she clearly wanted to hide from herself, from the concubines in the palace, and from those rumors.

Let her stay at Chen's house first, Chen Wen's heart is not there, so he can do what he wants to do unscrupulously.

If he had known that she would be angry, he would have told the truth.

Tell her now that she may not believe it, it's better to wait until the matter is settled.

It would be great for the emperor to agree to her going out to visit her relatives.

She was already hungry, and now that the conditions have been negotiated, she will naturally drink the porridge obediently.

Her favorite Gaoyou salted duck eggs, the oily yolks are mixed in the light porridge, the yellow and white look very nice.

The emperor's spoon is specially used to scoop porridge where there is a lot of porridge. She is sick now, and even the salted duck eggs think the taste is too strong.

She wished that the emperor's spoon would scoop up the egg yolk. The porridge was bland and tasteless, so there was nothing to eat.

After thinking about it, the emperor already has a new favorite, and she can still feed her porridge here, so she should stop picking and choosing.

As soon as the emperor left, she asked Bai Lu to quietly bring up some delicious food.

When the bowl of porridge drank to the bottom, Chen Wenxin wiped her mouth with a handkerchief and shook her head.

"Are you full?"

When the emperor asked, she rolled her eyes inwardly.

Whether you are full or not depends on what you eat. If you are full, you can eat two bites, and if you are not full, you can eat two bites less.

White porridge obviously belongs to the latter.

Salted egg yolks can't save it from its blandness, not to mention the emperor always scooped it up on the white.

She said again: "Since the emperor has agreed, let's leave early tomorrow morning."

He unconsciously held the small spoon in his hand and tapped the bowl intermittently a few times.

After thinking for a moment, he said: "Okay, you can leave the palace when you wake up tomorrow, don't be in a hurry. As soon as you need something, I will order the Ministry of Internal Affairs to prepare it overnight."

His voice was full of helplessness.

Chen Wenxin raised his head and glanced at him, thinking that the emperor still has some old feelings for him?

For an emperor, it is already very difficult, she can't do it anymore.

"Chen and concubine, thank the emperor."

She bowed to the emperor in salute, and her loose black hair slid from her back to the front of her body following this bending.

The hair was slightly messy beside her face, and against her sickly face without makeup, it looked like a lotus flower.

He stretched out his hand, straightened the slightly messy strand of hair, and then gently pinned it behind her ear.

"Nian Nian, you have to believe that I am still your Xuan Ye."

She froze for a moment, then frowned and took a deep breath.

He seemed to want to say something, but finally fell silent.

This annoyed her.

She didn't want to refute anything the emperor said, and she couldn't force herself to say something eulogizing, so she had to turn her face away.

When the emperor saw her appearance, he knew that she was still angry.

"After a while, you will know. Trust me once, okay?"

If the emperor said he believed him, she should believe it. Then why did the emperor doubt her in Yangzhou?

Believe it or not, Chen Wenxin himself would look at the emperor's actions instead of listening to his one-sided words.

The meaning of his words, could it be that he favors Yu Chang, is there another reason?

Chen Wenxin thought to himself, should he take advantage of this topic and bring up Yu Changzai's strange things?

Maybe the emperor found something that she didn't know, or maybe she found something that the emperor didn't know.

When he was about to turn his head to ask him, he spoke again.

"It's late today, if you don't rest, you won't be able to leave the palace tomorrow morning, it's time to go to bed now."

Chen Wenxin: "..."

Does the emperor really want her to go?

She suppressed the [-] mud horses in her heart, nodded slightly, and said softly: "Send off the emperor."

The emperor walked out of the main hall and saw a red shadow on the palace wall in the courtyard of Yikun Palace.

It was Chen Wenxin's 15th birthday. He specially made it for her. It can project writing and patterns on the ground.

She liked it very much at that time, and she even took him to dance a Western dance called waltz under the shadow of the lamp.

When she dances, her waist is soft and her steps are light, like a butterfly ready to fly at any time.

He couldn't help it several times, and held her hand tightly, fearing that she would disappear into the dim lights if she threw it in a circle.

She is so beautiful that it is not as beautiful as it should be in the world, which always makes him worry about gain and loss.

There has never been anything that can make him worry about gains and losses, because the beauty and beauty of the world are all his.

Only Chen Wenxin, she is like a fairy who has fallen into the mortal world from the sky, and she is incompatible with this world.

This kind of incompatibility may make many people jealous.

It also made the emperor cherish it even more.

He ordered people to light these red lights again, hoping to add blessings and longevity to her, and make her recover from illness.

God is sorry, Chen Wenxin is awake after all.

He smiled slightly, and in an instant, that smile melted into the night sky again.

"Order the Ministry of Internal Affairs to prepare the ceremonial staff for the concubine going out of the palace to visit her relatives overnight, and arrange all the defenses."

A concubine's concubine went out to visit her relatives. This ceremonial staff was not small, and the preparations for one night were too tight.

Li Dequan asked: "Your Majesty, how long will Concubine Qin be visiting relatives? There must be a definite time before the Ministry of Internal Affairs can handle the affairs."

The emperor glared at him, "As for the things that are going to be used for a long time, we should compare them according to the concubine's position. If it is not easy to compare, we should follow the example of a noble concubine."

Since the founding of the Qing Dynasty, concubines and concubines have rarely visited relatives.

The emperor was worried that the Ministry of Internal Affairs was busy all night, and it was difficult to find a comparable example, so Chen Wenxin was wronged.

Li Dequan understood what this meant, that is, more can be added, and absolutely must.

This is the emperor wanting to show face to the concubine Qin.

If this decree is promulgated, who else in the palace would dare to say that Concubine Qin is out of favor?

Li Dequan hurriedly confessed: "Your Majesty, forgive me, it's getting late now, and this servant must go to declare the decree as soon as possible."

If he doesn't go again, it will be bad for the Ministry of Internal Affairs to miss this matter.

The emperor waved his hand, "Go ahead. Xiao Lizi will serve me back to the South Study Room, where I will write a plaque for Nianxin Garden."

After the emperor wrote the inscription, the word had to be sent to the House of Internal Affairs to make a plaque.It seems that the Ministry of Internal Affairs has no way to rest tonight.
