Harem: Biography of Concubine Qin

Chapter 176 "Assassin" Climbs the Wall

Chen Wenxin hadn't rested for a few days after leaving the palace, but news came that someone came to visit.

We all know that she is going to visit relatives in the palace to recuperate from her illness, who else would be so ignorant to hand over invitations?
Chen Wenxin took the post and looked at it carefully, it turned out to be Xiang Ming.

She couldn't help smiling.

She has heard the name of this Xiang Ming for a long time, but has never seen him.

This person's shocking words shocked the government and the public, and offended the emperor.

Chen Wenxin felt sorry for him, and arranged for Chen Wenyi and Lu Zong to rescue him.

The emperor's suspicion of her also arose from this.

She also wanted to see what kind of character this Xiang Ming was.

"Ask him to come in. I'll meet him at Ziyu Pavilion."

Xiang Ming entered from the Garden of Thought and Heart, passing through flowers and willows all the way, and the scenery he saw was magnificent.

When I saw the self-rain pavilion in front of me, the emotion I had traveled all the way reached the climax at this time, like a spring gushing out.

"There is a saying in the Tang Dynasty that there is a self-rain pavilion in Taipingfang House, with four streams flowing from the eaves. When it is in summer, it is as majestic as high autumn. It is a pity that I did not have the chance to see such an ingenious thing. Seeing it today, I am amazed."

Chen Wenxin was sitting in the pavilion, separated by a curtain of water pouring down, he could only hear the loud voice of the man outside.

Just by hearing his voice, one can feel that this man's heart has no city, and he is upright and upright.

Another man's voice was heard saying: "If you get drunk in such a gazebo, what can you ask for?"

The latter's voice is much more gentle.

Then I heard the latter's voice saying: "I'm sorry, girl, pass the message to the empress for me. I'm Nalan Rongruo, please see the concubine Qin."

Nalan Rongruo?

Chen Wen was so startled that he almost jumped up from the stone bench.

He is that Nalan Rongruo who is known as the number one genius in the capital?
Thinking back to his previous life, Chen Wenxin memorized how many lines of his poems, and shed tears for those sad emotions in his poems.

She actually wants to meet this famous poet in history with her own eyes today!

This was even more exciting for her than meeting the fourth elder brother for the first time.

The girl who was questioned by Nalan Rongruo was Bai Fei, she pursed her lips and said with a smile: "Our master is sitting in the pavilion, presumably the master has heard what your lord said."

Xiang Ming and Nalan Rongruo were terrified, looking into the water curtain, there seemed to be a faint lake blue figure.

Now that he has arrived in front of him, no matter whether Chen Wen wants to meet Nalan Rongruo or not, he should go forward and salute.

The two walked through the path paved with big bluestones and walked to the pavilion.

I saw a wide stone pavilion, with stone tables and benches in the middle, and simple and elegant purple sand tea sets on it.

Both of them knelt down and saluted together, and said in their mouths: "Minister Xiangming, and minister Nalan Chengde, please Qin's concubine Jin An."

Chen Wenxin looked at the two of them carefully. Chen Wenyi said that Xiang Ming was just passing the age.

His eyes were piercing, his brows were high, and he looked like a man of integrity.

And Nalan Rongruo is only in his early twenties, and his birth is somewhat similar to Nalan Mingzhu.The skin is pale and the face is delicate.

One of these two is Geng Jie's spokesperson, and the other is a wealthy son.

A man dressed in plain clothes, showing the elegance of a mature man.

A man dressed in brocade clothes, young and romantic, with outstanding literary talent.

After observing the two of them, she smiled and said, "You two are welcome."

Then they gave seats and tea, and the two of them sat obliquely at the bottom.

The water curtain outside the pavilion is rushing, and the inside of the pavilion is cool and elegant, which makes people feel relaxed and happy.

Xiang Ming got up first, and bowed to the ground towards Chen Wenxin.

"I have thanked my concubine Qin for your kindness in saving me. If it weren't for your help, I am afraid that I would have been relegated to the jungle."

Chen Wenxin glanced at Nalan Rongruo, and saw that his face was calm, obviously he knew about this a long time ago.

It seems that Nalan Rongruo and Xiang Ming are close friends, otherwise how could he easily know about such a secret and important matter?
Chen Wenxin smiled and said: "You don't need to be too polite to your lord. I didn't save you for your lord, but out of my heart. Your lord risked offending the emperor to speak out, wouldn't it be against your own heart?"

Xiang Ming looked up at her in surprise.

I didn't expect a woman, who was only in her early years, to have such a mature idea.

Nalan Rongruo quietly raised her eyes to look at her, only to see that her face was as bright as the bright moon, and her color was like the flowers of spring dawn.

She was wearing a lake-blue Xiaying gauze, with wide and gold-trimmed sleeves hanging down her side, making her feel like a fairy.

Isn't such clothes just like the beauties in ancient poems?
He couldn't help but think, Yun Xiang's clothes are beautiful, and the spring breeze blows Revlon.

If it wasn't for Qun Yushan, I would meet Yaotai under the moon...

Xiang Ming couldn't help sighing, "I'm young and the number one scholar, I never expected that there are so many talents in the court, except for Rong Ruo, the only one is my mother's bosom friend."

It was presumptuous of him to say this, a foreign minister actually bluntly referred to the concubine as a bosom friend?
Nalan Rongruo hurriedly got up to smooth things over, cupped his hands and said to Chen Wenxin: "Madam, please don't blame me, this person from Qingyuan has always been wild and unruly, that's why he offended the emperor. He really didn't intend to offend Madam."

Only then did Xiang Ming realize that he had said the wrong thing again, "Your Majesty, don't care about it, I'm being rude."

Chen Wenxin smiled and asked the two of them to sit down, "I'm not in the palace at the moment, you two don't need to be so formal. Sir Xiang is a man of insight, and it is my honor to invite me as a bosom friend."

"It's just the rules of the ancestors, the harem is not allowed to interfere in politics. Please pay attention to the adults in the future, and don't talk like this in front of outsiders."

Xiang Ming said anxiously: "Your Majesty, please allow this minister to be presumptuous again. Some time ago, there was a rumor in the palace that the Empress fell out of favor, did you dare to anger the emperor because of the empress's help to the minister?"

Ever since the rumors of Chen Wenxin falling out of favor spread, Xiang Ming has been restless.

In the harem, the concubines outshine others, and this situation has lasted for a whole year.

Concubine Yi is an old man, and Yu Changzai is also a beautiful girl presented by Mongolia years ago.

If the emperor was really fascinated by the newcomers and forgot about the old ones, he wouldn't have seen them at this time.

It can only be explained that the emperor detested Concubine Qin because of something, and turned to find other substitutes.

This happened just after what happened to Xiang Ming, how could he not blame himself?
-
The concubine Qin had some good intentions, but he caused her to lose her holy favor.

Chen Wenxin was a little surprised for a moment, she knew that Xiang Ming was upright, but she didn't expect him to be so upright.

Nalan Rongruo lowered his head, looked at his toes and rolled his eyes.

If Xiang Ming did this again, he swore he would never go out with him again.

Chen Wenxin didn't want to find excuses to hide anything, and falling out of favor is not a shameful thing. Which woman in the harem is undefeated?
She smiled slightly, "How long will it be good for Israel to treat others? The emperor's intentions are not for us to guess at will. Since the matter has already happened, let it pass."

She picked up a small purple sand teacup and raised her hands to the two.

"You two please."

The three of them drank tea in the pavilion, and chatted about Xiang Ming's idea of ​​opening customs that had offended the emperor that day.

It turned out that Nalan Rongruo also supported Xiang Ming's idea, and the three hit it off immediately, and they had a very happy conversation.

The people serving outside the pavilion only heard the conversation inside, but they couldn't make out what it was.

To be able to chat so enthusiastically, I think it is very speculative.

"Who is there? Dare it be an assassin?"

A beautiful female voice rang out outside Tingyu Pavilion, hearing the word "Assassin", all the palace guards outside the courtyard surrounded him.

Not long after, a young eunuch came back to report to Bai Xue and Bai Fei outside the booth.

"Two aunts, outside are the third miss from Master Nalan Mingzhu's family, and the second miss from Guo Luoluo's family..."

The little eunuch was in a bit of a dilemma, these two were female relatives of officials and eunuchs, especially Nalan Yulu, the daughter of Nalan Mingzhu.

He has to be treated politely, not tied directly.

Bai Xue nodded to him, then went to the pavilion to report to Chen Wenxin.

Nalan Rongruo frowned upon hearing this, and hurriedly apologized to Chen Wenxin.

"My lord, forgive me, my third younger sister has been spoiled since she was a child, and she doesn't know the rules when she comes to the house."

Bai Xue said: "Your Majesty, the guarding eunuch said that Miss Nalan is catching assassins."

She changed her words: "Ah, it's not an assassin. It was Ms. Nalan who saw Ms. Guo Luoluo climbing on the wall and screamed..."

The second young lady of Guo Luoluo's family, she heard from Mrs. Zheng.

This girl waited for Chen Wenyi on the streets outside the Chen family's mansion almost every day, just to have a few words with him.

Sometimes Chen Wenyi couldn't even say a word, so he rode his horse and left.

It seems that this girl is also very infatuated.

Bai Lu has been standing behind Chen Wenxin, she doesn't like the second lady of Guo Luoluo's family from the bottom of her heart.

How can there be a girl's house who blocks in front of the man's door every day, begging to see him?
What's more, the second young lady of Guo Luoluo's family is Yipin's direct younger sister. For a person like Yipin, how can she have a sister with a good character?

Such a girl is not worthy of Chen Wenyi at all.

Chen Wenxin was amused, waved his hands and said, "That's all, my lords, why don't you go and have a look?"

It was Nalan Rongruo's own sister who had the accident, so he naturally wanted to see it.

This matter happened in Ting Yu Pavilion, she should go to deal with it.

In this way, it is not good for both of them to leave and leave Xiang Ming alone, it is better for the three of them to go together.

Bai Lu stepped forward and opened an umbrella for her, "Master, be careful, the sun is very hot outside now."

The sound of quarreling can be heard from a distance, Guo Luo, Luo Mingyuan and Nalan Yulu are listening to the quarrel outside the courtyard wall of Yu Pavilion.

Guo Luo Luo Mingyuan's face was flushed with anger, "How can you call me an assassin at will? I just came to find Second Brother Chen."

Nalan Yulu rolled her eyes and said with a sneer, "So you are that young woman who shamelessly haunts General Chen. If you want to climb the wall, you shouldn't climb into the courtyard where the concubine Qin is visiting her relatives."

The reputation of Guo Luoluo Mingyuan has become famous in Beijing, and the wives and ladies of each family are talking about how open-minded the second lady of Guo Luoluo's family is.

She dared to bully Chen Wenyi on the street, it was really infuriating.
-
Because she has done a lot of things that every lady wants to do, but she dare not do because of face.

Nalan Yulu is among the many young ladies.

Today, she wanted to meet Chen Wenyi while her eldest brother Nalan Rongruo was visiting the concubine Qin.

Her father once mentioned her marriage to Chen Wenyi at the Emperor's Longevity Banquet, so in order to avoid suspicion, she never dared to come to the Chen family.

Now it was her brother who came, and she just came along, so it seemed justifiable.

Unexpectedly, Yuanjia Road was narrow, and she saw this Guo Luo Luo Mingyuan outside Tingyu Pavilion.
