Harem: Biography of Concubine Qin

Chapter 218 Decentralization
After the winter snow fell, the palace began to be busy with the New Year's work.

Last time the Longevity Festival was organized by Chen Wenxin, there were no mistakes or omissions.Therefore, the emperor entrusted Zhang Changzai and Wei to grant Jin Feng to her.

One can still be named as a permanent residence, and the other can be named as a nobleman with more grandeur.

This matter is not difficult, but it is more difficult to welcome Ge Ge from the two princes' families.

The emperor also entrusted this matter to her. Prince Gong's two princesses are not yet old, and they only entered the palace as princesses.

And Prince Yu's Gege will go to Horqin within three months without any accidents, and she will treat each other with the etiquette of Princess Heshuo as soon as she enters the palace.

The status of a Heshuo princess is much more dignified than those who are often present, and there are many things to take care of.

It was also the first time for Chen Wenxin to take care of this matter, but Concubine Hui was unable to handle the New Year's affairs alone, so she often sent people to ask her for advice.

On the one hand, she was taking care of Jinfeng and welcoming Princess Gege, and on the other hand, she was also taking care of Concubine Hui, so she was really busy.

I had to temporarily suspend the math class at my brother's office, so as to save her from running around.

Brothers are all very clever, knowing that she is not free, so they don't bother her.

He only said that after the New Year's Eve, he would invite her to give lectures at Elder Brother's place, and then it would not be too late to speak well.

Chen Wenxin couldn't help but sigh with emotion, it's the Chinese New Year again, and my brothers are going to be one year older, so they are much more well-behaved and sensible.

Even the second elder brother and fourth elder brother who were most attached to her the most obediently did not bother her, but only sent exquisite gadgets once or twice.

Those are things that children love to play, such as Jiulianhuan and Kong Mingsuo.

Chen Wenxin also likes it for something, thinking about playing it to the top and going to compete with his elder brothers.

As a gift in return, she also sent someone to send the fat thief to elder brother's place, so that the fat thief could play with the elder brothers.

Fugui'er runs between elder brother's house and Yikun Palace every day, and also takes the fat thief's clothes to change.

——Although the fat thief doesn't need to wear those clothes at all, but his master insists on wearing them for him, what can he do?
The most astonishing thing was that the fat thief was obviously a male dog, yet the clothes Chen Wenxin made for her were all female styles!
Basically, they are all made directly from leftover fabrics of her own clothes.

So it often happens that the master and the dog wear the same style.

Chen Wenxin never tires of it, she likes to walk around with the fat thief who wears the same clothes as herself the most.

In addition to preparing for the promotion of the two concubines, the entry of the princess into the palace, and the celebration of the New Year in the harem, Chen Wenxin also ordered people to pack up the things and accessories of the Yikun Palace.

Yikun Palace is gorgeous, and the two supporting halls are also magnificent.

It's just that Chen Wenxin lived alone in this palace all the time, so the side halls on both sides were empty and dusty.

She ordered the palace staff to tidy it up, and then arranged all the items that conformed to the princess's etiquette, and decorated them properly.

I heard that Prince Gong has two princesses, one is fourteen and the other is thirteen after the new year.

Chen Wenxin couldn't help talking, but luckily she was younger than herself, even though she was only two and three years younger.

It suddenly occurred to her that she would be 16 years old after the new year.

In another year, the emperor will have a three-year general election...

She suddenly panicked, not knowing what would happen then.

"What are you thinking?"

The emperor strode in from outside the hall, which frightened Chen Wen's heart.

"I heard that Yikun Palace is in a hurry today, so I came to see you. Why are you so lost in thought?"

Chen Wenxin pouted towards the west side hall, "Here, you said that I will take care of Prince Gong's two princesses when they enter the palace. So I will order people to clean up the side halls on both sides first, and prepare for the two princesses to come and live in the palace. "

The emperor said displeased: "Who told them to live in Yikun Palace, this Yikun Palace is given to you alone by me, and no one else is allowed to live in it."

These words warmed Chen Wenxin's heart, she smiled and said, "Where do the two Gege live in the palace?"

"Aren't there few empty palaces in the harem? What's more, there are only two princesses, and they won't be named princesses until they get married. Where can't they live?"

What the emperor said is true, the two princesses are still young, even if they get married, they will have to wait another year or two.

It is not convenient for them to live in Yikun Palace for a year or two, since the emperor often comes and goes.

"I see that the Zhongcui Palace is still empty. When Xuanye refurbished the Yikun Palace last time, he also renovated it by the way. It is also close to the Yikun Palace. It's better to let the princesses live there, and it will be convenient to take care of them."

The emperor said: "You can make up your own mind about these trivial matters. You don't have to ask me everywhere."

He is now in a state of delegating power to Chen Wenxin, letting her handle various things that she has never done before, so that she can better understand the item-by-item matters of the harem.

In all fairness, Chen Wenxin is a quick learner.

She has studied and is knowledgeable, and she is much better at management than Concubine Hui, who has dark eyes.

Concubine Tong can also do well. She comes from a descendant family and was raised as a queen since she was a child.

It's a pity that she is unwilling to do well, and always acts recklessly, fighting for power and profit, and harming other concubines.

Compared with them, Chen Wenxin, who is fair and intelligent, is extremely precious.

Chen Wenxin also faintly felt the change in the emperor's attitude. In the past, he wished he could tell him everything and make up his mind.

Now he would take the initiative to let Chen Wenxin make up his own mind.

This is because the trust in her has gone a step further.

In other words, it is an affirmation of her growth.

The 16-year-old Chen Wenxin is naturally different from the 14-year-old Chen Wenxin.

With greater trust comes greater responsibility.

She felt deeply pressured, and it seemed that she must think twice before doing things in the future.

The emperor said again: "If you have any doubts, ask Nanny Deng and Nanny Liu by your side. Bai Lu is also a good person, and the little table looks like a fine person with experience."

"With these loyal servants by your side, I feel relieved."

In the past, the emperor thought that Chen Wenxin treated his slaves too well, which would foster their pride and disrespect towards their masters.

After looking carefully, she was lucky, and the servants around her were all very loyal, not those treacherous servants.

It's not just luck, it's just that she took the trouble to find Bai Lu's biological sister back, and promoted an inexperienced little table to be the chief steward of Yikun Palace.

Her sincerity in dealing with people has also been exchanged for sincerity.

And these two people took the lead, and they subdued the servants below, so they naturally followed them.

Seeing their loyalty, they can get so many benefits.

As long as the palace people of Yikun Palace are not stupid, they all know how to learn loyalty from them so that they can walk a smooth road.

In addition, there is the emperor silently supporting behind.

The emperor wants the servants to be loyal to her, how many dare not be loyal?

Chen Wenxin nodded seriously, "Don't worry, I will definitely not disappoint Xuan Ye's expectations."

If the emperor wants to protect her and give her power, then she must hold onto it firmly.

The [-]st day of the twelfth lunar month is a good day. On this day, the ceremonial ceremony of honoring Zhang Guiren and Wei Changzai was held in the harem.

On the [-]nd day of the twelfth lunar month, Princess Heshuo Wenyi and Da Gege and Er Gege from Prince Gong's family were welcomed in.

The two princesses have not yet been promoted to princesses, but they entered the palace with the ceremonial staff of Princess Heshuo Wenyi, which is extremely dignified and dignified.

This is also the emperor's comfort to Prince Gong, hoping that his bad-tempered younger brother can settle down a bit.

Prince Gong doesn't have much courage, the emperor is not afraid of him raising troops to rebel or something.

—Excluding the soldiers of his own palace, he has no soldiers on hand.

What I'm afraid of is that his complaints will affect the relationship between the royal family and hurt the brotherhood between the emperor and him.

Princess Heshuo Wenyi was sent to Changchun Palace, where she was taken care of by Concubine Hui and lived with the fifth princess.

The fifth princess was acquainted with her before, and the two were close together, and there was a smile on Princess Heshuo Wenyi's face.

As for Chen Wenxin, facing two Ge Ge who were not much younger than him, he felt a little overwhelmed.

The two Gege were darker than the other, the big Gege was better, and the second Gege was about to cry.

What kind of father gave birth to what kind of girl, Princess Heshuo Wenyi, who is about to send to Mongolia for marriage, can barely smile.

Naturally, she was not happy, but took the overall situation into consideration.

These two princesses completely followed Prince Gong's temperament, and any dissatisfaction was written on their faces.

It's just that when Chen Wenxin arrived at Zhongcui Palace, he still came over respectfully to pay his respects.

"My daughter, please concubine Jin An."

Chen Wenxin also felt sorry for the two children who were about to leave their parents and enter the palace at such a young age.

The most important thing is that they all know that they will not be in the palace for long, and they will go to the vast grassland, where they will never see their family members again.

She said softly: "There is no need to be too polite, you come to my side."

She didn't call herself Ben Gong to the two princesses, but spoke to them softly as much as possible.

"What's your name, can you tell Madam Qin?"

Although the two princesses were sad and angry about entering the palace, they still answered her respectfully.

"Returning to your mother, my daughter is Da Gege of Prince Gong's mansion, and my father did not give us a name."

"Back to your mother, my daughter is Prince Gong's second princess, and I don't have a name."

The string in her heart became tighter and tighter. Why does this bad habit of not naming her daughter still exist among princes and ministers?

No wonder, after the emperor named Prince Yu's big princess as Princess Heshuo Wenyi, everyone called her Wenyi.

She heard Depin say her name at the longevity banquet, and her name was Yusheng.

Such a beautiful name was automatically ignored.

Thinking of this, it would be better to have no names like Da Gege and Er Gege.

"Then, I'll call you Big Gege and Er Gege from now on, okay?"

Hearing what she said, the two princesses nodded obediently.

Chen Wenxin said with a smile, "The two princesses just entered the palace today, so Madam Qin prepared a gift for you, I don't know if you like it or not."

As she said this, Bai Lu came up with a smile, holding a mahogany tray in her hand, covered with a yellow scarf.

"Ge Ge, this is a small gift prepared by our master for you, Ge Ge see if you like it or not."

Seeing Chen Wenxin's beauty and gentleness, the two princesses felt a little cordial in their hearts.

Seeing that the palace people around her are so gentle and kind, the rejection of strange places in her heart is much better.

Er GeGe looked at Big GeGe, but he didn't dare to take it by himself.

Da Gege still knows the rules, she went ahead and said, "Thank you, Madam Qin."

Then she opened the yellow scarf, and saw two scrolls inside.

She untied one scroll by herself, and Bai Lu handed the other to Er Gege for her to untie.

"It's my mother-in-law, it's my mother-in-law."

Big Gege had tears in his eyes, and happily said to Er Gege.

Er Gege opened the picture scroll, and said with a smile: "And my mother."

The two of them were not born of the same mother, the eldest gege was born of a concubine, and the second gege was born of a concubine.

It was not difficult for Chen Wenxin to find a painter to draw a portrait of Princess Gong, and he could also draw a portrait of a concubine in the palace, which shows that he worked very hard.

Da Gege leaned down deeply again, "Thank you, Madam Qin."
