Harem: Biography of Concubine Qin

Chapter 185
Talking about avoiding the summer heat, soon the emperor's royal driver moved to Tsinghua Garden.

On this day, the ceremonies and music were played, the sedan horses and horses continued to flow, and the guard of honor was crowded shoulder to shoulder.

The sound of drums, the sound of horseshoes, and the sound of copper bells at the four corners of the carriage, all sounded in my ears.

Except for Chen Wenli and Chen Wenxin, the two youngest members of the Chen family, all the working men went to participate in the ceremony of sending the emperor out of the palace.

Just like the emperor's visit to Xingqinghua Garden, the accompanying officials had to be sent from the city to the suburbs of Beijing, and then they could not go back until the emperor had a rest.

Fortunately, the Chen family now lives in Nianxin Garden, so they don't have to go back and forth so much.

When Chen Xihai and the others came back, it was already late for lunch.

Chen Wenxin ordered the small kitchen to prepare light and non-greasy fresh dishes, and sent them to the rooms of Chen Xihai, Chen Wenren, and Chen Wenyi.

It was hot outside, and they must have been hot and tired after traveling all the way back.

The small table sent someone to deliver meals, and on the way, he also inquired about the list of concubines who followed the emperor out of the palace this time.

Surprisingly, the emperor seemed to be uncharacteristically, soaked in rain and dew.
-
He actually brought out all the famous and unnamed concubines in the palace.

Thinking about the two concubines who were favored and conceived, if it wasn't because of their pregnancy, the emperor would have brought them out.

All affairs in the palace are sent to Tsinghua Garden for handling. There is no master in the palace, and nothing will happen.

There is only one empress dowager left in charge, if anything happens, it is the same to report back to the empress dowager.

Chen Wenxin was also very surprised when he heard this. Does the emperor want to move the entire palace to Tsinghua Garden?

She thought about it, it was very possible.

The Tsinghua Garden is already big enough, but the emperor wants to expand it. When the expansion is completed, it is not known whether the emperor will also move the empress dowager.

The small table was a little worried, "Why did the emperor bring out all the concubines in the palace, this, this..."

Isn't this inconvenient for the emperor to meet with his master?

I don't know what the emperor thinks, he didn't treat these concubines so well before?
Especially Concubine Tong Gui, since she entered the palace, the emperor has never taken her out of the house.

Chen Wenxin didn't care about this.

What she thought was, if the emperor brought so many concubines out, would people live in her Guanlan Pavilion?

At the end of autumn last year, the emperor once said that he would take her to escape the summer heat this summer and let her live in Guanlan Pavilion.

He said that Guanlan Pavilion accompanied by water is the most cool and refreshing place.

Now the emperor has really gone to Tsinghua Garden to escape the summer heat, and all the concubines in the palace are there, but she is the only one missing.

Bai Lu hurried over from outside, with a displeased expression on her face.

"what happened?"

In Nianxin Garden, who doesn't know that Bai Lu is her personal maid, and who dares to be angry with her?

"Master, Concubine Tong Gui sent the grandma here to ask to see the master."

Chen Wenxin frowned, "Concubine Tong?"

Ever since Concubine Tong brought Concubine Yi to search Yikun Palace, there has been no face-to-face interaction between them.

For Concubine Tong, being threatened with a phoenix seal by a young concubine was a shame and humiliation she would never forget.

The two had torn faces from that time onwards. Concubine Tong Guifei was always proud, so she has not had any contact with her since then.

Now that Yu Jia had just arrived at Tsinghua Garden, Concubine Tong sent the most capable grandma by her side.

The visitor is not good.

there is always a solution to a problem.She would like to see what Concubine Tong Gui's intentions are.

The corners of her lips curled up, "Come in, please."

Mammy was originally a noble status among the slaves, and Mammy was the most expensive among the nobles, so she used the word please.

After a while, the eldest mother walked in from the door, and her eyes rolled around the furnishings in the room first.

The furnishings in this room are comparable to those in the palace.

She had just walked into Nianxin Garden from the corner gate of Tsinghua Garden, and the scenery along the way was pleasant, beautiful and exquisite.

Some subtleties are even more beautiful than the royal garden Tsinghua Garden.

Tsk tsk, the Chen family is really rich, to have such a good garden bestowed by the emperor...

She saw Chen Wenxin sitting high on the head. She was only wearing a moon-white wide-sleeved Hanfu skirt.

The bun is simple and plain, slanted out, as beautiful as the Guanghan Palace Fairy sung in operas.

The eldest mother hurriedly kowtowed and saluted, "Slave, please concubine Jin An."

This is not the first time for her to see this concubine, and every time she sees her, she always feels that she is shockingly beautiful.

Such a demeanor, when she grows into a mature woman one day, she still doesn't know how to harm the country and the people...

In another three or four years, she will be at the most beautiful age for women.

As for Concubine Tong Gui, she will be even older than she is now, causing the emperor to dislike her.

Thinking of this, Grandma unconsciously subdued half of the arrogance she carried when she came from Concubine Tong.

Thinking that Concubine Tong Gui's trust in her recently is not as good as before, and instead she trusts the little girl's film.

She had to plan for her own future. No matter what, this concubine should not be offended.

"Ma'am, please get up."

With a smile on her face, she seemed to be very polite, but she didn't let Bai Lu move the pier to sit on for her.

The eldest mother was also very knowledgeable, and said with a respectful smile: "The imperial concubine has an order. The emperor's royal driver has just arrived in Tsinghua Garden. Although the concubine is out of the palace to visit relatives, the place is not far away. She should go to pay the emperor's peace."

Concubine Tong Gui specially sent her grandma to ask her to pay her respects to the emperor, what kind of intention is this?

Chen Wenxin didn't want to understand, and was a little confused for a while.

She only said: "It should be like this, but the emperor came here from the palace and was tired. Now I go down to pay my respects to the emperor, and disturbed the emperor's rest."

She didn't know what Tong Guifei's intention was, anyway, it wouldn't be a good thing, she had better refuse.

The eldest mother smiled and said: "Of course it's not now. It's so hot now that it's hard to go. The empress's body is precious, and it's not suitable to travel."

"It's better to wait until after dinner, when it's not too hot, and the emperor has time to see the empress."

Chen Wenxin frowned slightly, and Bai Lu took the opportunity to reprimand the grandma, "When does our master go out, don't we need the grandma to set a time?"

The eldest mother hurriedly waved her hand and said: "I dare not. This servant is just suggesting to the empress, when the empress wants to go to pay the emperor's peace, it is naturally the empress herself to decide."

Before she came, Concubine Tong Guifei told her that she must intimidate Concubine Qin and ask her to go pay the emperor tomorrow at the latest.

She is now an abandoned concubine, so there is no need to treat her politely.

Concubine Tong felt resentment in her heart, if Chen Wenxin was in front of her, she would wish to be rude in front of Chen Wenxin herself.

The eldest mother is used to showing off her power.

I don't know why, but this time when she came to Nianxin Garden, she lost her confidence.

Probably Concubine Tong Guifei is getting old and withered, and the concubine in front of her is still like a budding flower bone.

When she was in full bloom, Tong Guifei had long since withered.

The eldest mother has been in the palace for so many years, what else can't be seen through?

A woman with such an alluring appearance will never fall out of favor easily.

After Chen Wenxin heard this, she subconsciously didn't want to follow Tong Guifei's wishes, for fear of stepping into her trap.

If you say that you are not good, and you are afraid of offending the emperor with your illness, you can avoid this greeting.

But the emperor is just across the wall, if she doesn't see her, how many rumors will spread...

If so, see you then.

She found a reason for herself, and didn't want to admit that she also wanted to see the emperor in her heart.

"Bai Lu, don't be rude."

Chen Wenxin lightly caressed her nails, looking at the delicate carvings and gold inlays on the armor.

These words seemed to be blaming Bai Lu's tone towards the eldest mother, but in fact they were just a scene, and did not mean to blame at all.

The eldest mother stood on the ground with her head bowed, and Bai Lu stood aside, not speaking.

"Since that's the case, let's go back, Mammy. Take a message for the imperial concubine on my behalf, and say thank you for her reminder, and I will go to pay my respects to the emperor."

She only said that she would go to pay her respects, but didn't say when she would go, because she didn't want Concubine Tong to be ready to design her.

The eldest mother didn't dare to ask in detail, she bowed and left.

As soon as the big nanny left, Chen Wenxin stopped looking at her nails.

She pressed her slender hand to her chin, "Bai Lu, what do you think Concubine Tong Gui is up to?"

Bai Lu shook her head, "This time even the slaves don't understand. Thinking about it, maybe they want to take this opportunity to humiliate the master?"

Concubine Tong Gui was taken out of the palace by the emperor this time, full of ambition.And Chen Wenxin went out of the palace to visit his relatives for a long time, no different from falling out of favor and abandoning his concubine.

Concubine Tong Gui had suffered in front of her before, so it is possible to regain face in front of her this time.

Chen Wenxin pondered: "If it's just like this, why don't you ask me to pay her respects?"

Concubine Tong is in charge of the harem, so it is reasonable to ask a concubine who has fallen out of favor to pay her respects.

Isn't it more convenient for her to humiliate herself?
Bai Lu said: "Concubine Tong Gui is not stupid, if she asks the master to pay her respects, the master will definitely not go."

That is true.

She stayed in Nianxin Garden in the name of recovering from illness, and she could refuse Concubine Tong's request by just making an excuse that she was not in good health.

"Forget it, let's go pay the emperor tomorrow. In front of the emperor, she has always been speechless, so it doesn't matter if she makes some sarcasm."

She told Bai Lu: "Prepare the palace dress for me, and the hair accessories are a little more gorgeous, so I can't be as simple as at home."

It's not for the sake of showing off in front of the emperor to attract his attention, but I just don't want to give a false accusation to others.

Logically, concubines should serve in front of the emperor in splendid attire.

It's just that she is lazy and doesn't like to wear so many jewelry.

"Yes, let Bai Shuang come to comb the master's hair tomorrow. The master hasn't seen the emperor for a long time. Apart from being polite, he should also dress up more gorgeously for the emperor to see."

Naturally, Bai Lu was thinking of Chen Wenxin, and hoped that the emperor would see her in her most beautiful appearance.

"Yes, you are right."

Chen Wenxin teased her, "Now you are outside the palace, not inside the palace. You should also dress up better, I promise you don't need to wear the uniform of a court lady."

Bai Lu also gradually discovered that Chen Wenxin saw her thoughts on Chen Wenyi.

She blushed, "The master is just like the emperor, he likes to take down slaves."

Whenever the emperor got angry, he would scold Li Dequan and the others, and Chen Wenxin would always tease them.

She was afraid that Bai Lu would become angry from embarrassment, so she hurried up to hold her hand, "My good sister, please forgive me, I was talking nonsense."
