Harem: Biography of Concubine Qin

Chapter 214 Cultivating Power
Wei promised to watch Chen Wenxin get into the sedan chair, and then left Yikun Palace.

If Chen Wenxin really has the ability to make Jin seal her, then her wish for many years will be fulfilled.

She managed to get out of Xinzheku's place, and was sealed by the emperor as a promise.

There was also an element of anger with Concubine Tong, otherwise the emperor would not have easily favored a lowly court lady.

Who would have thought that after sealing the promise, the emperor would forget her and never think of her again.

Fortunately, she was accepted by the court lady Jin, and the emperor directly placed her in Jingyang Palace, instead of staying in Chuxiu Palace like those beautiful girls.

Staying in Jingyang Palace, she is still among the concubines after all.

Those who stayed in Chuxiu Palace and couldn't get out promised Changzai, but they were completely forgotten by the entire harem.

Even if there is a beautiful girl who is directly named permanent during the general election, the emperor will not be lucky, or will not move her palace after the lucky.

No matter how noble that is, it is still a useless person.

There are quite a few such people, among the beautiful girls sent by Oboi at Xishi, there are quite a few of them who were sealed as regulars as soon as they were sent.

Those women are distinguished, and they are all daughters of the families of Oboi's ministers.

In the end, the emperor rewarded them with positions, but they still didn't move, so they threw them in Chuxiu Palace and waited for them to disappear by themselves.

Even the Longevity Festival or the New Year's banquet, there is no place for the Chuxiu Palace.

No one would think of any of the concubines in Chuxiu Palace.

She barely survived the cruel battle in the harem, but she has always been the most humble existence.

She lived with Concubine Rong in Jingyang Palace, Concubine Rong was the one who valued birth most, she looked down on those concubines who came from small families.

Only when Concubine Hui is highly respected can Concubine Rong not look down on her because of her low background.

And she Wei agreed?

Compared with those so-called low-born concubines, her background is still far behind.

No matter how bad those concubines are, they are also from official families, and they are decent young ladies.

She herself is Xin Zheku's lowly servant, and she is burdened with slavery.

Xinzheku, that is the hardest place in the harem, it is a place dedicated to washing and cooking for the palace people.

In other words, she is a slave serving a slave.

Concubine Rong looked down on her, and usually ignored her at all, and just took her along during palace banquets.

The other concubines satirized her background, or laughed at her for being so young but agreed, and Concubine Rong would not help her.

Not only do not help, but also laugh at her together.

What can I do? She is the lowest among the famous concubines.

She has endured humiliation for so many years, if she can really be promoted to Chang Zai, at least she will be able to stand shoulder to shoulder with Ding Chang Zai.

The three-year show girl election is coming soon, and at that time she can have some status among the newcomers.

Wei promised to think that if she really got what she wanted this time, she must hold onto Chen Wenxin's thigh tightly...

When Chen Wenxin arrived at Qianqing Palace, the emperor was reviewing the papers.

Seeing her walk in, the emperor was displeased and said, "Did you oversleep again? You came so late."

She has become more sensible recently, and the problem of sleeping late is better than before.

It's just that there is no improvement in the problem of gluttony.

The emperor had agreed with her that he would see her in Qianqing Palace as soon as he came to court today, but Chen Wenxin came late after he didn't realize how long it had been since he came to court.

The emperor snorted angrily and said, "I see that you are just here to eat."

Chen Wenxin looked outside the hall in feigned surprise, "Isn't it? Look at the weather, I'm going to wait for lunch here."

The emperor gave her a blank look, "You usually look at your pocket watch, why does the sky look bright today?"

She touched her nose and was ripped apart.

"I went out early, but I happened to be caught by Wei Xu, so I was late."

She sat down beside the emperor and said with a smile.

The emperor let out an oh, and continued to read the scriptures without raising his head.

"What did she do to you?"

"Earlier Wei promised to see that I was favored, so he expressed that he wanted to be attached to me. Who knows that she fell out of favor again, so she went to curry favor with Yongshou Palace."

Yu Chang died, Yigui was demoted, and now Yongshou Palace still lives in the main hall of Yigui.

Although the rules were not in compliance, the emperor did not move Yigui to the side hall for the sake of the fifth elder brother's growth.

The emperor nodded, "Such two-faced and three-handed sword. Now that you are gaining power again, how dare you come back to curry favor with you?"

"Isn't it? See, Wei promised to be quite smart, and I don't want to offend another person for no reason and push her to others."

The people she was talking about were naturally people in the palace who had ulterior motives for her, such as Concubine Tong.

"Xuan Ye told me a few days ago that he wanted Jin Fengwei to agree. I just took this as a favor to help Wei agree."

She said it comfortably, as if the one being used in this favor was not the emperor.

The emperor put down the pen dipped in cinnabar and grabbed her to tickle.

"You did a good job, so you take my favor as your own?"

Chen Wenxin giggled, twisted her body to avoid him, "What do you want favors for? Even if the emperor doesn't show her kindness, how dare she complain?"

The emperor refused to stop, "They naturally dare not complain."

The women in the harem, if they fall out of favor, they will only blame the favored concubines, how could they blame the emperor?
"Forgive me, Xuan Ye, hahaha."

Chen Wenxin laughed until tears flowed out, the emperor stopped his hands.

"It's okay if you forgive me, come and kiss me."

The emperor pointed to her cheek, she looked around, Li Dequan and others were outside.

"Kiss, dear!"

Chen Wenxin pouted and moved closer, kissing him on the cheek several times.

Now it's over, and the two sat down together to talk in a gentle manner.

The emperor said: "Nian Nian has benefited a lot and knows how to win over other concubines."

The emperor didn't like Wei's promise, and it was only because of a momentary dispute with Concubine Tong that he rewarded her.

At that time, Concubine Tong was in charge of the harem, and she even found a reason to beat a tea-serving court lady in front of the emperor fifty boards.

The emperor was patrolling the river at that time, and when he came back, he found out that the maid serving tea was beaten by Concubine Tong, angry and helpless, and finally died of illness.

And the reason given by Concubine Tong was that the maid was indiscreet, and Qiao Zhi was enchanting as a court lady.

In fact, Concubine Tong is just a court lady who can't see the emperor, she's just a better looking lady.

She was on duty in Qianqing Palace, so her status was naturally more respectable than ordinary court ladies, but she had never done anything beyond the rules in a charming and Qiaozhi way.

The emperor was furious on the spot, accusing Concubine Tong of arbitrarily punishing the people in front of him.

It also depends on the owner to beat a dog. People who are in the Qing Palace cannot be punished casually by the harem.

Concubine Tong insisted that the palace maid was from the harem, she was in charge of Fengyin and had the power to deal with the palace maid.

She refused to admit that she was wrong at all, but just thought that if the emperor was displeased, he would punish him.

At that time, Concubine Tong's uncle Tong Guogang, who was Tong Guowei's elder brother, was fighting abroad and made great achievements in battle.

That was also the day when Concubine Tong was most energetic.

The emperor didn't want to punish her, but the next day he found a court lady in Xinzhekuli, and after luck, she was granted the title of promise.

Isn't Concubine Tong just afraid that the maids of Qianqing Palace have attracted the attention of the emperor?
Then the emperor will find someone who is even lower, to stimulate Concubine Tong's jealousy.

This lowly Xinzheku court lady, later Wei agreed.

Although he didn't like Wei's promise, he knew that this woman was very scheming.

If not, she would have died long ago under the contempt of the people in the harem, how could she have survived till now.

The emperor told Chen Wenxin: "Wei promised this person, you can win her over, but you can't befriend her. Don't tell her important things, and be vigilant towards her."

Chen Wenxin nodded, "Don't worry, I know how to measure. Wei Xu is not a kind person. If I really trusted her, I would have asked Xuan Ye for a reward."

The emperor nodded, "It's better that Zhang Chang is here."

As soon as he said this, Chen Wenxin immediately pouted and became unhappy.

"You said Zhang Changzai is good? You actually praised other women in front of me, woo woo woo..."

She pretended to cry there, making the emperor at a loss.

"What I mean is that Zhang Changzai is on good terms with you, and he is more upright. It is good for you to have her promoted."

Chen Wenxin felt something was wrong when she heard this, her eyes widened in surprise, "Could it be that you want to..."

"I want to cultivate power in the palace for you."

Well done, how could the emperor think of this?
In fact, Chen Wenxin herself thinks the same way, she intends to strengthen her own strength, so that she can gain a foothold even if she loses the emperor's favor in the future.

But if the emperor thinks this way, something is wrong.

The way the emperor cares about her and loves her is to use his favor to tell everyone——

Chen Wenxin is the most important person in the emperor's heart, no one can touch him.

But the emperor will not think about cultivating power for her. In the eyes of the emperor, she should be protected by him.

This may be called machismo.

Now that the emperor said this, she was a little surprised. Could it be that the emperor meant...

"I'm thinking, what if one day I'm not in the palace and I don't take you out of the palace with me. I can't let you be bullied without a stick."

The court lady serving tea who died after being beaten fifty times by Concubine Tong is the best precedent.

Seeing that Chen Wenxin is getting older, if she becomes pregnant in the future, or during the confinement period, the emperor will not be able to take her out of the palace.

If she didn't have her own influence, it would be very easy for Concubine Tong to make her kneel on a rainy night.

The heart that Chen Wenxin raised was put back into the chest cavity.

She was scared to death, she thought the emperor was going to make her a queen, otherwise what would he do to cultivate power.

It turned out that the emperor meant that.

That's fine, with the emperor's support, all her actions can go smoothly, and she doesn't have to worry about causing any misunderstandings.

The emperor knows these women in the harem much better than himself, and with him as a military adviser, she will surely get her wish.

Chen Wen thought, and kissed the emperor again.
