Harem: Biography of Concubine Qin

Chapter 19
Chen Wenxin, who felt very good about herself, went out.

According to the rules, she had to wait for Concubine De outside the main hall of Yonghe Palace, and then follow Concubine De to Chengqian Palace.Unexpectedly, when I went, Debi had already walked out...

Fortunately, fortunately, if Debi was waiting for her later, it would be a crime of disrespect.

Seeing her, Debi gave her a non-cold look.He wanted to blame her, but it was not too early or too late, and there was no reason to blame her.

Seeing that she was not at all gorgeously dressed, I was a little surprised.

The dissatisfaction was much smoother, and he said to her: "Let's go."

Then help the maid to go ahead.

Chen Wenxin followed behind, taking a look at Concubine De's attire today.

Compared with the last time I saw Debi, her attire today is indeed much more gorgeous.

Chengqian Palace had already spread the word that Concubine Tong Guifei would wear cherry red on her birthday.Naturally, others could not wear the same color as Concubine Tong, so Concubine De wore purple red.

The color purple...

Chen Wenxin has always felt that it is what middle-aged women over 50 like.

She complained silently in her heart, Debi's aesthetics is really worrying.

Compared with Qianqing Palace ahead, Yonghe Palace is not far from Chengqian Palace.Even so, there was still a thin layer of sweat on Chen Wen's forehead.

Fortunately, she didn't put on powder before going out, she just painted her eyebrows and put on a little lip balm.

Otherwise, if you wipe your sweat with a handkerchief now, you may be able to wipe off half of the powder on your face.

Chengqian Palace looks similar to Yonghe Palace from the outside.Once inside, I realized that the main courtyard is much wider than the Yonghe Palace.

Yiguiren and Zhang Changzai were also dressed up, standing beside the peonies in the yard and talking.Seeing the concubine De, both of them came up to salute.

"Greetings to Empress Debi."

Depin smiled and helped the two of them.

"Excuse me. The two sisters are so early."

Concubine De even smiled at her, Yigui didn't know whether it was joy or sorrow.

In the past, Debi didn't have a good face towards Yigui.

Happily, Debi is waiting to see her.The sad thing is that Debi treated her because she fell out of favor.

In other words, it was her limelight that was severely overshadowed by Chen Changzai.

Chen Wenxin was also amazed that Concubine De could smile so dignifiedly.

Could it be that she doesn't want to see her alone in the palace?
"The two concubines lived in Chengqian Palace, so they should have come earlier." Zhang Changzai replied.

Chen Wenxin met with her two again, and Zhang Chang returned the gift to her.

There was the sound of footsteps and cloth rubbing outside, and everyone looked out, and saw a group of court ladies and nuns, surrounded by a noble lady in fine clothes, coming in mightily.

Even Depin knelt down to salute, and Chen Wenxin followed suit.

Concubine Tong Gui should be in the palace at this moment, this lady in fine clothes walks in from the outside, and she can make Concubine De to perform the full salute...

It can only be the concubine Hui Nala who gave birth to the elder brother.

"My sisters, please rise up."

Concubine Hui and Qi Dao turned their attention to the pink figure among the four saluting people.

Such a lively beauty.

Seeing that her hairpin is simple, but her hair is combed in a cute and clever way.The clothes were not very gorgeous, but the curve of the narrow waist and long sleeves made her more exquisite and graceful.

Concubine Hui looked at her and said, "Good boy, come quickly to this Palace and have a look."

Chen Wenxin looked up and saw Concubine Hui looking at him kindly.

The title "good boy" still made Chen Wen feel like vomiting blood.

Concubine Hui looked luxurious and graceful, and seemed to be older than the emperor. People in their 30s call 14-year-olds children, and it seems right.

Chen Wenxin hesitated for a moment, but still walked forward, Concubine Hui stretched out her hand to hold her, and that hand was wearing a long golden finger cot.

"Such fair skin, such slender fingers. They really look like water onions."

Concubine Hui took a closer look and found that there was indeed no trace of powder on Chen Wenxin's face, she couldn't help being a little envious.

"It's better to be young."

She used to be charming and bright, but she hasn't worn pink for a long time now.

"The empress is charming and graceful, and her concubines can't match her in the dust."

Chen Wenxin didn't want to flatter Concubine Hui's beauty against her will, but instead disgusted Concubine Hui.It would be better to praise her in terms of temperament, which would also appear more sincere.

Concubine Hui smiled and said, "You child..."

Chen Wenxin didn't know what the second half of the sentence that Concubine Hui didn't say would be, I guess it's because you really can talk...

Now that Concubine Hui is here, they don't have to wait outside, they all followed Concubine Hui into the main hall.

In the main hall, there is a golden seat for the imperial concubine at the top, and pineapple armchairs are arranged on the left and right sides at the bottom.

The female officials of Chengqian Palace came out to greet them, and led them to their seats in order.

Naturally, Concubine Hui is the first one on the left, and Concubine De is sitting next to Concubine Hui in the second place.

In this way, the first person on the right is reserved for the concubine Rong who has never met.

Mrs. Yigui is the second from the right, and Chen Wenxin is the third from the left next to Concubine De.

This position doesn't seem right...

Chen Wenxin is a newcomer, the latest to be named permanent.How can he sit at a higher position than Zhang Chang?
Besides, she heard that there is another Ding Chang who is also in Chengqian Palace.

She didn't want to sit down, what if someone tricked her?When the time came to accuse her of disregarding superiority and inferiority, who would she cry to?

Sitting opposite Chen Wenxin, Zhang Changzai, who was third from the right, saw Chen Wenxin's hesitation and gave her a positive look.

Only then did Chen Wenxin sit down hesitantly.

For some reason, she still subconsciously believes that this kind-hearted Zhang Chang is there.

Before she sat down, Concubine De was discussing their son with Concubine Hui.Concubine Hui's elder brother Yinyi is ten years old, and Concubine De's fourth elder brother Yinzhen is five years old.

However, the fourth elder brother was raised in Concubine Tong's palace, and De concubine didn't see him several times a year, and he didn't know anything about his own son.

I can only say something about how I miss Si Age and so on.

Concubine Hui wanted to explain, thinking that this was in Chengqian Palace, the person called Concubine Tong heard it, and thought she was dissatisfied with Concubine Tong's raising the fourth elder brother, but it was not beautiful.

So he just smiled and didn't answer.

Debi was bored, and when she saw Chen Wenxin fidgeting, she knew what was on her mind and said:

"You, Ama, have now been promoted to the third rank, and you are more favored than the two of them. This position is naturally yours."

Chen Wenxin doubted her ears. Is Debi... explaining to her?

Chen Wenxin was stunned for a moment, not knowing how to answer De Concubine's kind explanation, and was about to answer, De Concubine turned her face to look at Concubine Hui.

Debi is really...

An unruly woman.

Chen Wenxin seemed to see the black line on his forehead.

While talking, a woman in rose red heart brocade, Tingting, walked in.

Seeing that Concubine Tong's seat was empty, she glanced at the people on both sides, her gaze fell on Chen Wenxin, and she didn't look away for a long time.

Others were not doing well, Yigui rolled his eyes when he saw her, and snorted coldly in his nostrils.

Chen Wenxin felt very uncomfortable being stared at like this, and lost her goodwill towards this woman.

"The concubine is late, please greet all the sisters."

The woman bowed weakly, her voice was very soft.

Concubine De pretended not to hear, and even Concubine Hui, who seemed very amiable, didn't respond.

"Get up."

As the highest status among those present, Concubine Hui still spoke, but her tone was indifferent.

"Thank you madam."

The woman sat down under Chen Wenxin, and continued to dissect her with her eyes.

Chen Wenxin really wanted to turn his head and stare at her. After thinking about it, the person sitting under her must be Ding Chang, right?

Anyway, he is on the same level as him, so it's not good to offend her, so just be patient for a while.

Don’t you just love to watch it? Auntie will let you watch as much as you want, and there will be a lot of meat!

After a while, Concubine Rong came along with Wei Ying.

Wei promised to live with Concubine Rong in Jingren Palace. Concubine Rong greeted Concubine Hui and explained that the third elder brother Yinzhi had a fever last night, and he still has a fever today.

Concubine Rong was worried about her third elder brother, so she came late.

Wei promised to follow Concubine Rong, so naturally the two of them would be late together.

The emperor has four elder brothers in total, and the only one raised in his mother's palace is the third elder brother of Concubine Rong.

Concubine Hui's elder brother is ten years old and has already moved to the elder brother's place.

The second elder brother is the direct son of Empress Xiao Chengren's Hesheli family. He is only eight years old. He is raised in Chengqian Palace of Tong Guifei together with the fourth elder brother born of Depin.
-
Speaking of which, the population relationship of Chengqian Palace is really complicated.

Concubine Tong Gui, the main character, holds a high position. She is only two or three years younger than Concubine Hui, but she doesn't even have a son and a half daughter.

In addition, there is a pampered nobleman, two are always there, one is low-key and the other is hated.There is also a second elder brother who is a legitimate son, and a fourth elder brother whose biological mother is in the palace...

Chen Wenxin faintly felt that Concubine Tong's situation did not seem to be as good as it seemed to outsiders.

Concubine Rong sat opposite Concubine Hui, pulling Concubine Hui to gossip.After Wei promised to salute everyone, he bowed his head and sat silently in the last seat.

So far, everyone is here except Concubine Tong Gui.

In the emperor's harem, there are almost all those with or without names.In addition to those who are not welcome to meet in Chuxiu Palace, there may be some official women who are not popular.

Chen Wenxin felt that the scale was not small, but not too large.

The emperor is still young, and the harem will always be filled slowly.

Chen Wenxin was a little frustrated.

She remembered that there were many sons of Kangxi in history, and even more concubines.

The emperor is now 28 years old, and Kangxi is known for his longevity, at least he can live to be 80 or [-] years old.There are still several decades in the middle, and there will be continuous concubines.

Can she be favored for decades?

If she is destined to fall out of favor, she must plan for her future from now on.

Concubine Tong Gui hasn't come yet, it is said that she has to recite sutras for an hour every morning.

An hour is a full two hours.

After reading, I have to change clothes and have breakfast.

So why on earth did these concubines arrive so early?
Chen Wenxin watched the crowd gathering and chatting in twos and threes, even the cowardly and humble Wei Ying, they all listened to what Yigui and Zhang Chang were talking about.

Concubine Hui and Concubine Rong and De Concubine also gathered together. Although De Concubine seemed to have a hard time getting in the conversation, she didn't turn her head to talk to Chen Wenxin.

Concubine Rong doesn't seem to be very warm to Concubine De.

Chen Wenxin silently analyzed the subtle emotions among the women in the harem.

"Sister Chen."

A delicate voice came from her ear.

Chen Wenxin turned his head to look, and it turned out that Ding Chang was there.

Hearing Dingchang calling Chen Wenxin, Xiang Wei promised to turn his head to look at them too.

There are three Han Chinese concubines present, besides Chen Wenxin who is always there, and Wei Ying in the corner.

The two of them don't want to cuddle with her, do they?
Wei promised that although his status was low and his face was gloomy, it was not so offensive to look at.

But this coquettish and coquettish person is always there, and at first glance, he looks like a deadly little expert!Even De concubine dared to wear only purple red, but she was wearing a rose red that was very close to Zhenghong.

Looking at the reaction of everyone just now, it is clear that she is disgusting.

Chen Wenxin himself doesn't like her, and doesn't want to have anything to do with her.

"Oh, it's always there."

Chen Wenxin didn't follow her address, sister and sister are too kind, what she has to do is to distance herself from her.

If this Ding family had been sensible, when she came in to greet her just now, she wouldn't have called elder sister to a room full of people who were higher in status than her.
