Harem: Biography of Concubine Qin

Chapter 212 Asking her to beg
At the Wanshou Banquet, the concubine Qi Shu's hundred-shou picture, with the emperor's deliberate help, was widely praised by people inside and outside the palace.

The emperor also greatly rewarded the five concubines who made the picture, especially Chen Wenxin.

Of course he knew that this good idea came from Chen Wenxin.

The ingenuity of Baishoutu is second, and the most rare thing is that she used this move to wash away the bad influence caused by Yu Changzai's incident.

To please the emperor with exquisite toys is the way to spoil the concubine.

And her painstaking efforts for the stability of the court and the reputation of the emperor are hidden deep in the plaything. This is the journey of the virtuous concubine.

The emperor felt that Chen Wenxin's body had changed slightly.

She seems to have matured and grown up a lot.

Know how to think for the emperor, to preserve the reputation of the harem, that is to preserve the reputation of the emperor.

Such a heart, such wisdom.

It is by no means comparable to ordinary concubines.

After being rewarded by the emperor, everyone was naturally happy.

Especially Zhang Changzai, she was not favored due to her low status, it was rare to be rewarded by the emperor.

Seeing Zhang Changzai's happy appearance, Chen Wenxin hinted, "A little reward will make you so happy? When you become a nobleman in the future, won't you be so happy?"

Zhang Chang was playing with a string of tourmaline and pearls Pixiu bestowed by the emperor, and said nonchalantly: "How is it possible, what virtue and ability do I have, so that the emperor can make me a nobleman."

Chen Wenxin smiled and said, "Why is it impossible? It will be in the next year."

Zhang Changzai looked up at her in surprise, "Your Majesty coaxed me to play? Or is it true?"

After she entered the palace, she has been there all the time, and after two or three years, her status has not been promoted in the slightest.

Even if the emperor grants a title, it is an extremely decent thing.

Chen Wenxin took her hand, "Of course it's true, when did I ever lie to you?"

Before Chen Wenyi went to war, the emperor said that he would make her a concubine.

Later, she chatted with the emperor, and said that Zhang Chang had been in the palace for a long time, and he was still a permanent position, without even a title.

The emperor also had this intention, saying that Concubine Tong and Yigui had been demoted in the harem, just in need of some joy.

The emperor is best at this technique of checks and balances. One side is demoted, and the other side is promoted.

Let the foreign ministers not understand the emperor's intention.

Zhang Changzai has a natural temperament and doesn't fight for favor and power, so the emperor also likes her in his heart.

The most important thing is that she is the best concubine in this palace and Chen Wenxin.

The emperor went to Zhang Chang's place by chance, and he could always see traces of Chen Wenxin in her room.

Sometimes she gave Zhang Changzai her own favorite jewelry, and Zhang Changzai happily wore it.

Sometimes it was snacks made in the small kitchen of Yikun Palace, which Zhang Changzai loved to eat, so Chen Wenxin would send them to her from time to time.

The emperor even saw an antique pot.

Chen Wenxin often mentioned Zhang Changzai, for example, they talked about something new in the palace.

She is a person who likes to distribute good things to those around her, unlike the women who are said to be stingy, she has never been stingy when it comes to gold, silver and jewelry.

The concubines next to them were afraid that the young maids around them would be too eye-catching and would attract the attention of the emperor, so they never rewarded them with good clothes and jewelry.

I am even more afraid that other concubines will dress up better than me, so I would rather let the good clothes and jewelry spoil myself than give it to others.

Chen Wenxin was completely different. The clothes and jewelry she liked were given to Bai Lu and the others to wear for herself.

On Concubine Hui's birthday earlier, she also gave Concubine Hui the rare double-sided embroidered satin.

This level of generosity really puzzled the emperor.

Since Chen Wen is generous, the emperor naturally cannot be stingy.

In addition to Zhang Changzai Jin Feng, the emperor wanted to pick another one to serve as a foil.

It would be too conspicuous to promote one alone, but two or three together would be better, making people miss the point.

Chen Wenxin curled her lips, and said to Zhang Changzai: "The emperor still wants to take the opportunity to Jinfeng Dingchangzai or Wei agrees."

When Zhang Changzai heard this, he didn't even look at the tourmaline bracelet.

"How can this be done? Let's not talk about the virtue of Ding's little hoof, and Wei's promise to this person is even more double-faced!"

The reason why Zhang Changzai was so indignant was not because Wei promised to do something to her.

Rather, she was very clear about the face of Wei Xu, who had previously attached to her, during the period when Chen Wenxin fell out of favor.

Not only did she not help Chen Wenxin from the beginning to the end, but she even avoided it.

When Chen Wenxin left the palace to visit her relatives, she even fawned over her to Yongshou Palace.

It's a pity that Yigui looks down on her, and Yu Changzai is used to fighting alone, so no one pays attention to her.

Such a person, Zhang Changzai also looked down on her.

Chen Wenxin herself is very clear about this, but Wei Xu is not young anymore, and is still in the promised position.

She is also considered an old man serving the emperor, in terms of seniority, she should not be ranked with Chen Wenxin, Zhang Changzai and other juniors, but should be ranked with Concubine Hui, Concubine Rong and Concubine De.

But her status is still so low. Seeing that the two concubines who don't even have a status give birth to the prince, they will be able to surpass Wei's promised position.

What the emperor meant was that Wei promised to be sealed, otherwise people would say that the emperor is mean and ungrateful.

Indeed, Wei promised to serve in the palace for such a long time, there is no credit but hard work.

The emperor wants to promote her, and she supports it, but she can't let Wei agree to be promoted so smoothly.

"The emperor's intention is not to disobey, don't worry, I will ask Wei to agree to come and beg us."

There was a smile on the corner of her lips, and she looked at the string of tourmalines in Zhang Changzai's hand.

The color is transparent and the blue color is uniform.

She smiled and said, "I have an excellent autumn-colored brocade, which looks best with your tourmaline."

Zhang Changzai was changed by her and hurriedly said, "Where is it? Let me see."

"Bai Lu, take out the batch of brocades I got earlier, and let Zhang Chang take a closer look."

Bai Lu bowed and exited the inner room, and returned after a while with a stack of brocades in her arms.

Zhang Changzai's eyes lit up, "Your Majesty, there are so many brocades here."

Bai Lu took out the autumn-scented one, and compared it to Zhang Changzai's tourmaline bead string.

"Zhang Changzai, look, it's so colorful."

Autumn scent and blue color, this color combination reminds people of autumn when the north wind is blowing.

Zhang Changzai liked it more and more, and nodded repeatedly.

Chen Wenxin said quickly: "You wrap this horse up for Zhang Changzai, and let Yu'er take it back when she leaves later."

Standing behind Zhang Changzai was the court lady Yu'er, Zhang Changzai felt a little embarrassed.

"Thank you madam for the reward."

Chen Wenxin shook his head, "Why are you still talking about this identity between us?"

She thought about it, and then told Bai Lu, "You send those lake blue ones to the Yonghe Palace. Sister Debi likes this color."

Zhang Chang took a sip of the tea cup, and was happy about what Chen Wenxin said about the emperor's promotion to her after the next year.

She naturally knew that the emperor wanted her to be promoted not only because of her law-abiding behavior.

It was because of her relationship with Chen Wenxin.

Hearing what Chen Wenxin and Bai Lu said, she couldn't help asking: "By the way, what color does the lady like?"

"me……"

Chen Wenxin smiled slyly, "I like them all."

There was beauty in all the colors of clothing, in her opinion.

It also depends on how the colors are matched, the texture of the fabric and the style of the fabric.

It's like Zhang often strings beads with tourmalines here, and that autumn-scented brocade.

Looking at the two separately, it is unremarkable.

Once Zhang Changzai puts on this autumn-colored brocade clothes and hangs on this tourmaline bead string, the colors will reach the ultimate harmony.

The two complement each other, presenting a generous and elegant extravagance.

When Chen Wenxin and Zhang Changzai said this, Zhang Changzai was very surprised.

"No wonder I see that your mother looks very good in simple clothes. It seems that the color matching has made a fuss."

Zhang Chang was trying hard to recall the color of Chen Wenxin's clothes, his mind was like a mess.

She has too many clothes...

"Not just clothes, but jewellery."

Chen Wenxin pointed to her tourmaline bead string, "The color of the jewelry should match the clothes to look good."

She thought of Mrs. Yigui, who was used to putting all kinds of gorgeous and rich jewelry on her head. If she hadn't been demoted, she would have to look at her head like a Christmas tree every day.

Yigui is beautiful, with a bold and bold temperament, so it is barely acceptable to dress up like this.

If this is a woman with mediocre appearance, it will be so ugly dressed up like this.

The two were discussing clothes and jewelry here, and the small table outside came in and stood at the door.

"what happened?"

Seeing that his master and Zhang Chang were chatting happily, the small table didn't dare to interrupt for a while.

It wasn't until Chen Wenxin saw him that he replied: "Return to Master, Wei promised to see him outside."

When Zhang Changzai heard that it was Wei who agreed, he became annoyed, "Your Majesty is right. Now that she sees Your Majesty regaining her favor, she has come to flatter her."

Chen Wenxin smiled slightly, "I'm not afraid of her coming, I'm afraid she won't come."

She had sent some news to Wei Xuyue earlier, letting her know that the emperor wanted to be with Jin Fengzhang often.

Of course, the emphasis was on letting her know that Zhang Changzai, who was promoted by the emperor for her own sake.

Zhang Changzai is her best concubine in the palace, and the presence of Zhang Changzai, the emperor's Jin Jin, is also a help to her.

Hearing the news, Wei promised naturally couldn't sit still.

If she had known that Chen Wenxin had a chance to turn around, she would never have acted so ugly on the bright side.

Not only did he turn a blind eye to Chen Wenxin who fell out of favor, but he also went to curry favor with Yongshou Palace.

Now that the situation has changed, she still has to go back and curry favor with Chen Wenxin.

Although she may not accept her surrender again, and may even humiliate herself.

Wei promised that he couldn't control that much anymore...

As long as he thinks that Chen Wenxin will be promoted if he fawns over Zhang Changzai, Wei promises not to care about any shame.

"Tell her that Bengong and Zhang are often talking, so I don't have time to see her."

Chen Wenxin had enough time to rest, Zhang Chang saw the little table go out, and asked: "Didn't you say you want her to come and beg? Why is she begging, and the empress doesn't see her?"

She smiled mysteriously, and said confidently to Zhang Changzai: "Don't worry, she will definitely come again."
