Harem: Biography of Concubine Qin

Chapter 233
The news that Concubine Qin brought dozens of people from Yikun Palace to search Yongshou Palace has spread throughout the palace.

Searching the palace is not a trivial matter, besides, Chen Wenxin wanted to make an example of others, and traveled all the way from Yikun Palace to Yongshou Palace.

The news spread quickly.

The emperor was approving the papers in Qianqing Palace, and when he heard Li Dequan's report, he just smiled.

"I see, you don't have to worry about it, let Concubine Qin solve this matter by herself."

Chen Wenxin is not stupid, but very smart.

She was just bound by that benevolent thought, and once she figured it out, she could be more decisive than anyone else.

In front of her, Yigui is not enough to look at.

He believed that Chen Wenxin would be able to handle this matter well and establish a majesty in the palace.

Not only in terms of status, but also in terms of means.

A concubine with a high position and no means can subdue a gentleman, but cannot subdue a villain.

And in this harem, there are not many gentlemen, but a lot of villains.

It can't be killed or chased, but it can be subdued and used.

As long as they are used well, villains can also produce great benefits.

This is the same reason as the emperor's policy in the previous dynasty. There should not only be upright officials in the court, but also courtiers.

When the water is clear, there will be no fish, and when the officialdom is clear, it will be difficult to exercise power.

Concubine Hui, as the current manager of the harem, also got the news soon.

"Master, Concubine Qin should also tell you about such a big matter as the palace search."

In the Changchun Palace, the nurse in charge heard the news and said this in Concubine Hui's ear.

Concubine Hui was lying on the couch, lazily, without dressing up.

Although she is not sick, she has just claimed that she is sick. In order to prevent revealing her secrets, she simply pretended to be sick.

The emperor dismissed the proposal to make eldest elder brother the crown prince, and fined all the ministers who accepted the proposal.

She felt deeply hopeless in her heart, and felt the emperor's dislike for eldest elder brother.

If the emperor likes eldest elder brother, the courtiers mentioned this, at least he would not punish the courtiers.

This can only show that the emperor was angry not only at the appointment of the prince, but most importantly at the appointment of the elder brother as the prince.

And Nalan Mingzhu kept saying that he supported the elder brother to become the prince. Didn't he say a word for those courtiers who were punished?
Not only that, Concubine Hui found out afterwards that Nalan Mingzhu himself did not give the emperor a letter, requesting that the elder brother be made the prince.

He just appointed one of his servants, Tu Gong, to take the lead.

Of course, the emperor doesn't pay much attention to such a small servant minister of the Ministry of Rites.

If he, Nalan Mingzhu, a member of the first rank of the dynasty, made this request to the emperor, the emperor might not consider it!
She was angry and hated at the same time, angry at Nalan Mingzhu for not doing her best, and at the same time hated him for looking down on big brother.

If he really thinks highly of Elder Brother, he won't even refuse to give the Emperor a reward himself.

At the same time, she felt that the emperor would be suspicious of her and the elder brother's mother and son.So she said she was sick and avoided, and didn't want to see people for the time being.

Yikun Palace held the fifth elder brother's first birthday ceremony today, but she excused her illness and did not go.

Afterwards, Chen Wenxin sent someone to send some medicinal materials to check on her health, and let her know about Fifth Prince being drunk.

"That's it."

She shook her head weakly at the nanny, "Today's incident, anyone with a discerning eye can tell that Yigui deliberately framed her. In order to prove her innocence, she did not hesitate to be allergic to alcohol. It can be seen that she is in a hurry."

The person who was framed was her, Chen Wenxin, and there was nothing wrong with letting her solve this matter by herself. Why should Concubine Hui intervene?

"Having said that, master, you are the one in charge of the harem, and your status is the most respected in the harem. Concubine Qin is only an assistant in the harem, so you should report everything to the master."

The nanny in charge could understand the situation in the palace, and now that Concubine Hui's status was different, the palace people in Changchun Palace naturally became ambitious.

Now the only one who can compete with Concubine Hui in the palace is Chen Wenxin.

Relying on her elder brother's military exploits, she was conferred the title of concubine and has the right to assist the harem. She is about to stand shoulder to shoulder with Concubine Hui.

"Should report everything to the palace, didn't she report many things? The emperor allowed it."

Concubine Hui also complained a bit when the nanny in charge said, "The emperor alone let her handle the ceremony of Princess Heshuo Wenyi and the two princes Gongge entering the palace. Zhang Guiren and Wei Chang were also in Jinfeng's palace." The ceremonies, even the Longevity Festival, are all in charge of her alone."

According to the order personally issued by the emperor, Chen Wenxin is nominally the assistant to the harem, but in fact she has the same management rights as Concubine Hui.

The nanny in charge gave her some advice earlier, telling her to act as if she was in charge of the harem, and not let Chen Wenxin seize power.

After thinking about it, she thought it made sense, so she changed her temper of not wanting to take care of things, and started to take care of the big and small affairs of the harem.

She should hold the power firmly in her hands. Seeing her concubine Tong fall down, this is a good opportunity for her to seize power.

In the past, Concubine Tong was a noble concubine, and the pressure on her head made her breathless.

It's different now, there's no one else over her head, and she shouldn't be tied around anymore.

If she has the power, the elder brother's status will be higher, and the chances of him being crowned prince will be more.

She has always felt ashamed of elder brother because of her low background. Without a powerful mother clan, it is so difficult for elder brother to become a prince.

Also because of her low background, she didn't care about being inferior to others in the past.

She is a little daughter of a doctor, and she already feels very satisfied to be named a concubine by the emperor.

But as the elder brother grew up, she realized that this was far from her satisfaction.

The elder brother is the longest among all the elder brothers, and he studies hard, so he has every hope of being established as the prince.

She is also the highest-ranking concubine now, and the emperor has always respected her, so it is not impossible to make her a queen...

"master."

The words of the nurse in charge interrupted her train of thought, "Should I take someone to Yongshou Palace to ask, so as to trip up Concubine Qin? Let her know who is in charge of the phoenix seal."

Concubine Hui was a little hesitant, Chen Wenxin had never done any evil in the palace, and he befriended her with the kindness of the elder brother.

They are friends, not enemies.

Now, if she allows Nanny to trip Chen Wen's heart, wouldn't it be an enemy?
"Inappropriate. Concubine Qin's current status is not worth offending her. As long as she doesn't threaten me, I don't want to have an affair with her."

The mother was surprised and said: "Master, you are wrong. If the status of others in the harem is high, it means that your status is low. It seems that you are not threatened, but in fact your status is being controlled by her concubine Qin. The prestige has been lowered!"

"Think about it, Concubine Tong..."

Concubine Hui frowned, she knew what Mammy meant by mentioning Concubine Tong.

It's as if Concubine Hui never threatened Concubine Tong, but Concubine Tong was demoted, Concubine Hui naturally became the head of the harem.

In Concubine Tong's view, this is Concubine Hui threatening her status.

So Concubine Tong has not treated her with superficial respect as before, and often looks at her with particularly creepy eyes.

Her status has not changed since then, if the emperor demoted Concubine Tong, she would be higher.

Now that the emperor is promoting Concubine Qin, she is relatively low.

A person will naturally be extremely happy when he goes from low to high, but it is unbearable to go from high to low.

Concubine Hui is no exception.

Her heart was itchy like a thousand-word ants crawling, and Mammy's words were still lingering in her heart.

"Okay. You go, but don't make things stand still. Just remind Concubine Qin that it is enough for her to have a person in charge of the Phoenix seal like Bengong on her head."

Mammy bowed her head and said yes, then turned and walked out.

Chengqian Palace is not far from Yikun Palace, so Concubine Tong naturally heard the news soon.

A diligent concubine and a noble person.

They are not kind to her, and she is happy to stand on the sidelines and watch how the two of them fight.

The more intense the killing, the happier she would be.

Of course, she hoped that Yigui would be smarter and able to frame Chen Wenxin and make her bear the crime of murdering the prince.

It's a pity that Yigui let her cleanse herself.

Now it's Chen Wenxin who is going to punish her in turn. I'm afraid she won't be as kind as usual this time.

Forget it, it's fine to kill a Yigui.

This Yigui person used to be humble in her Chengqian Palace, once a concubine, and had a fifth elder brother, so he didn't think of himself as the old master.

Don't think she doesn't know, go ahead and slander the emperor, saying that the person who blamed her for her poor management of the harem for the late Yuchang's existence is her favored person.

The small door of Guo Luoluo's family unexpectedly gave birth to a person like Yigui, who dared to oppose him.

She had wanted to kill Yigui for a long time, but she was afraid that without Yigui, no one would restrain Chen Wenxin.

When Yu Chang was favored, she was afraid that without Yigui, no one would share Yu Chang's love.

It's all right now, Mr. Yigui has no son, and he doesn't have a lord of the palace.

She is like a bereaved dog now, and she is afraid that there will be no room for turning around.

Such a person, if he dies, he will die.

She also wanted to see if Chen Wenxin would simply kill Yigui, or if he remained indecisive, he would leave trouble for himself.

"Master, I heard that concubine Hui has sent a nanny in charge of the palace."

The maid bowed and reported to Concubine Tong, and Concubine Tong laughed out loud when she heard this.

"This concubine Hui is also very unreasonable recently. I didn't realize that she still has such ambitions before?"

Tong Guowei sent a letter a long time ago. Recently, the emperor was busy with the war to regain Taiwan, and several ministers wrote to the emperor at the same time to appoint the elder brother as the prince.

If it is said that Concubine Hui did not write this matter, who would believe it?
In the past, Concubine Tong respected Concubine Hui because of her gentle temperament and high morals.

The emperor also respected her a little bit, and Concubine Tong naturally respected her.

Unexpectedly, Concubine Hui was not as desireless as everyone thought. She might have had no desires in the past, but that was because of her short-sightedness.

As the daughter of a young man, she is content with being a concubine and having a healthy elder brother.

Who would have expected that the emperor would demote himself, and then give the Phoenix seal to Concubine Hui, which would make her develop ambitions out of thin air.

Concubine Tong only thought it was ridiculous, because she, Concubine Hui, wanted to be a queen or crown prince?
What a big joke.

"I know, don't worry about it. Let Concubine Hui show off her prestige, and I will just sit on the mountain and watch the tigers fight."

The corners of her thin mouth were pulled up, looking a little stiff.

"Two dogs fight, play off."
