Harem: Biography of Concubine Qin

Chapter 213 Promise
Chen Wenxin's guess was correct, within two days, Wei promised to come again.

This time Chen Wenxin met her alone.

Wei promised to walk in from the door with a bowed body, wearing a smoky blue satin jacket, half new and not old.

On her head, there are two neatly combed hair, and two plain silver hairpins, and there are no precious stones, pearls or emeralds on them.

A chic purse hangs upside down on the waist, which looks carefully embroidered, but the material is a bit ordinary.

Her complexion was yellowish, her eyebrows were lowered and her eyes were pleasing to the eye, she stepped forward and bowed down respectfully.

"Concubine, please concubine Jin An."

Chen Wenxin sat upright and glanced at her with a smile on his face.

"Get up."

Kan Wei promised that he was dressed in such a way that even some decent ladies in the palace couldn't compare.

Just look at Bai Lu standing nearby, you can see it.

Just the yellow amber ring on Bai Lu's hand is more expensive than what Wei promised.

Wei agreed to stand up, still bowing his back.

"Thank you madam."

Chen Wenxin didn't think that Yi Wei's years of accumulation in the palace would not even compare to the palace maids.

I'm afraid she deliberately dressed up in such a pitiful manner to gain sympathy in front of her?
Chen Wenxin snorted secretly, ever since Qianwei promised to stand under her camp, she only thought that one more friend is better than one more enemy.

But she has always disliked Wei agreeing to this person.

The incident of falling out of favor made her understand that Wei Xu is indeed not a good person.

Unexpectedly, she could be so shameless.

"Did Wei agree to ask Bengong for something? Why don't you tell me earlier, Bengong has to go to Qianqing Palace to practice calligraphy."

Chen Wenxin took out his pocket watch from his sleeve, and made an impatient look about going out.

Wei promised to see her neatly dressed, and when she entered Yikun Palace just now, she also saw the palanquin waiting outside the door.

It seems that Chen Wenxin is indeed going out.

In the whole palace, Chen Wenxin was the only one who could go to Qianqing Palace to meet the emperor at any time.

Sometimes it is to serve the pen and ink, and accompany the emperor to read the scriptures.

Sometimes the emperor personally taught her to practice calligraphy in Qianqing Palace.

Sometimes it's brothers who gather in Qianqing Palace to listen to her explaining math problems...

Either the emperor stayed in Yikun Palace, or Chen Wenxin went to Qianqing Palace.

This huge harem seemed to have only one concubine, one Yikun Palace.

Wei promised to suppress the unpleasant feeling in his heart, and bowed down again, "The concubine is here to plead guilty to the empress, and begs the empress to forgive the concubine."

"Oh? What did you do?"

Chen Wenxin looked ignorant, as if the person who came to her was just an ordinary concubine who made a mistake and surrendered herself.

Rather than the people who were once attached to her.

Wei promised to lower his head, with remorse in his voice, "The concubine failed to protect her, and failed to do her best to help her when she suffered a disaster a few days ago."

After she said that, she faintly cried, "The concubine is soft-spoken, and the empress knows it. In that situation at that time, the identity of the concubine can only think about self-protection."

Seeing her lowering her head, Chen Wenxin gave her a blank look.

She couldn't see it anyway.

Her identity, what is her identity?
Did she still want to say that, as a person in her own camp, she was implicated by herself?
If Zhang Changzai and Debi are likely to be involved by him, Zhang Changzai is the best friend with her, and Debi has a high position and son.

But what did she agree to?

She didn't have much intimate contact with herself, so she wasn't even part of her party.

It's just that Wei agreed to express the meaning of attachment, and she didn't refuse for the time being.

A concubine with a very low status and no love, no one would take her seriously.

Wei promised that she had the nerve to say that she was afraid of getting hurt by herself, so she was focused on protecting herself?
Self-protection is not like trying to curry favor with Yongshou Palace, is it?

Chen Wenxin didn't want to talk to her, although this Wei promised he had some brains, he was not a kind person after all.

It's not worth her wasting her time on this kind of person.

She said impatiently: "A friend is a friend in adversity. I know who treats me sincerely."

"Your Majesty, my concubine was still threatened by that derelict concubine Borzigit, how dare you defend you, Madam?"

Wei promised to know that a few words were not convincing, so he naturally wanted to present stronger evidence.

Chen Wenxin frowned slightly, "What did she threaten you with?"

Wei promised to come slowly, "It's like this. On the night my concubine was punished by Concubine Tong to kneel in the heavy rain, my concubine happened to have a relative and child who was on duty near the main hall of Tsinghua Garden. She told the concubine that the abandoned concubine Borji Mrs. Ji Te dispersed all the palace people in the main hall and went in by himself."

"Because the emperor didn't live in the main hall at the time, it was only used to meet courtiers occasionally during the day. So the palace people followed suit, and no one knew what she was doing there."

"Concubine, a relative and child, secretly went to see you, and saw you rushing out of the main hall in the rain. I also saw the useless concubine in the hall..."

Wei promised to look up at Chen Wenxin, and seemed a little hard to say.

"See what?"

"He saw that the disused concubine in the palace didn't have a single thread on her body."

Chen Wenxin had expected it a long time ago. With Yu Changzai's scheming, she would naturally consider what to do if Chen Wenxin entered the palace to check.

"Unexpectedly, when he saw the waste concubine's appearance for a moment, he was so frightened that he stepped on a tile under the eaves and was caught by her."

"The child was young, and the concubine was arrested and frightened, and the concubine was confessed. At that time, the concubine was still a favorite concubine. She came to threaten the concubine, and the concubine was too scared to go out."

Wei promised to speak eloquently, with some fear on his face.

But Yu Changzai is dead, and now there is no proof of her death, and Chen Wenxin can't verify whether what she said is true or not.

If what happened that night was really seen by the person Wei promised, it would be reasonable for Yuchang to threaten her not to let her speak out.

Even if Wei promised to tell a lie...

So what?

She originally wanted to give Wei a promise to step down, and then promise her benefits.

When the emperor promoted her in the next year, he made her think that he had contributed to her promotion.

As long as Wei promises not to join Concubine Tong and the others in order to appreciate her, that's enough.

——One more friend is better than one more enemy.

Chen Wenxin slightly raised the corners of her mouth, "Okay, get up. I just trust you."

Wei promised to heave a sigh of relief, and at least made Chen Wenxin believe her.

In fact, the fact that her relatives and children saw Yu Changzai that night was true, but Yu Changzai found out that it was false.

The heavy rain poured down that night, even if the tiles were really broken, it might not be heard.

Even if they were heard, just because Yu Chang was with those few people, they would not be able to catch up if they were driven out.

His relative and child told Wei Ying about this matter afterwards, and Wei promised to understand the key point after thinking about it.

But at that time, Yuchang was favored and Chen Wenxin fell out of favor, so what good would it do for her to reveal this matter?

So she heard about it at the time and did not take any action. She did not expect to be able to regain Chen Wenxin's trust at this moment.

There is no such thing as a road to heaven.

Wei promised to wipe away his tears, and stood up pitifully from the ground.

"Thank you, concubine, for your understanding."

Chen Wenxin acted to the end, "Hmph, I thought you really took refuge with the abandoned concubine, so I forgot what you said to me earlier. If that's the case, shouldn't you have come to tell me earlier?"

She had a look on her face, if you told me earlier, I would severely punish that useless concubine's expression.

Seeing this, Wei promised to persuade: "Now that the concubine is dead, why should the empress be angry? The second brother of the empress is brave and good at fighting, and this crusade against Horqin will surely bring back good news."

Chen Wenxin sighed, "Oh, I don't want my brother to come back with great military exploits, but it's better for Prince Dalu to plead guilty and surrender."

Wei promised to agree, "Yes, yes, the safety of your second brother is the most important thing."

She agreed with her mouth, but she dismissed Chen Wenxin's thoughts in her heart.

You idiot, it's better for Prince Dali to resist. If you don't resist your brother, where's the military exploits?
With military exploits, Chen Wenxin's status in the palace can be improved with all prosperity.

When I follow her, her status has improved, so I can get more concealment.

It's just that it's inconvenient for her to refute Chen Wenxin in person, so after thinking about it, she added: "However, it's good to fight, the empress's second brother is brave and good at fighting, and he will definitely return home safely and triumphantly."

Chen Wenxin didn't know what Wei agreed to think, it seemed that she, like Yigui, was a person who disregarded the safety of her family for the sake of her own glory.

This made her even more certain that Wei promised such a person, no matter what, he could only keep a respectful distance.

She is smart and has brains.

If this kind of cleverness is used against oneself, it is undoubtedly a difficult problem.

Now Chen Wenxin borrowed flowers to present Buddha, using the emperor's grace to promise Wei favor.

It's enough to win over her and prevent her from targeting herself.

As for truly treating them as friends, Chen Wenxin is absolutely impossible to do.

Chen Wenxin pretended to be very happy with Wei's promised compliment, raised her eyebrows and said, "Of course my elder brother is good. By the way..."

She looked at Wei and agreed, and said lightly: "I have asked the emperor for the title of Jin for Zhang Changzai. Although it is not very accurate, there are nine points."

"It's been many years since you were a court lady until you agreed. This palace sees the emperor's mood, so let me mention it for you."

These words were exactly what Wei promised to expect, but Chen Wenxin was actually willing to help her.

Wei promised to knelt down and kowtowed, "My concubine is very grateful to my mother, and I will definitely follow my mother's lead in the future."

Chen Wenxin winked at Bai Lu, and Bai Lu stepped forward to help Wei up and agreed.

Wei promised to dodge in panic, "How can I have Aunt Bailu who is in front of Mrs. Lao personally support me?"

It is said that it is better to be a chicken head than a phoenix tail, Wei promised to be the tail of the master in this palace, and Bai Lu belonged to the head of the servants.

The status that Wei promised was not as good as that of a respectable court lady like Bai Lu.

When she saw Bai Lu, she still wanted to call her aunt politely.

Chen Wenxin smiled slightly, "Okay, you can go. I'm going to Qianqing Palace too."
