Harem: Biography of Concubine Qin

Chapter 24 Guilt
The emperor was keenly aware that Chen Wenxin seemed very silent today, as if he was thinking about something on his mind.

It was still early, and the emperor was still grading papers, so Chen Wenxin was really standing beside him to grind.

A whole piece of rosin square grinder was held in Chen Wenxin's hand, and the inkstone was completely ground.The ink splashed out several times because of her strength, leaving black ink dots on the reddish-brown desktop.

Li Dequan, who was standing aside anxiously, wanted to remind her but dared not, and finally made up his mind to remind her, but was stopped by the eyes of the emperor.

"Why are you still thinking wildly by my side? Fortunately, I still praise you for your diligence in front of everyone."

The emperor continued to read the memorial without raising his head, implying that he blamed her for not serving her seriously.

Why is she not diligent, isn't this always grinding?
Chen Wen thought unconvinced, and looked down, the ink was almost overflowing the inkstone.

amount……

It's really well-documented getting caught.

She put down the mill in frustration, and sat down on the embroidered pier next to the emperor's dragon chair.

"what happened?"

Only then did the emperor put down the booklet, and lifted her chin to see her expression.

I only saw her face wrinkled together, her eyes a little...

sorry.

It turned out to be apologetic.

The emperor thought that she might have many thoughts, such as awe, fear, love...but he never thought it would be guilt.

"Why this expression, what did you do to apologize to me?"

Seeing her like this, the emperor wanted to make her angry.

Unexpectedly, Chen Wenxin was serious, counting on his fingers: "I am so sorry to the emperor, the emperor gave me so many rewards, and also gave rewards to my family. I promoted my father, but I did nothing for the emperor."

"I sleep late, and I don't get up to serve the emperor when he gets up. I don't like that kind of scrubbing. The emperor can only touch me after counting the safe period."

"My natal family is not rich, and there is nothing good to give to the emperor. I can't even do needlework, and I can't embroider a small purse for the emperor."

"Oh, by the way, the two handkerchiefs I gave Tong Guifei were not embroidered by myself, they were made by Bailu..."

The emperor didn't know whether to laugh or cry, so he quickly covered her mouth and called her to stop.

Isn't this girl too ignorant of taboos, she even said that the birthday gift for Concubine Tong was embroidered by a court lady...

Among the items she counted, the one that the emperor is really dissatisfied with is the security period.

But it won't be a long-term thing. After two years, when she grows up and can give birth to his elder brother, he won't have to worry about this problem.

"It's not a big deal, don't think about it, ah. Be good."

The emperor rubbed her hair, and the young couple put it in a simple bun, which was really soft to the touch.

If she was wearing so many things like other concubines, he wouldn't send his hands up to be pierced.

Being comforted by the emperor touching his head like this, Chen Wenxin felt even more guilty.

She thought that she was a person who repays the kindness of a drop of water, but it is really too difficult to repay the emperor.

The emperor has everything.

"Didn't you still call the small kitchen of the Yonghe Palace, and made me a pear cake with shredded silk? I like it, but the rules of the imperial meal are strict, and I haven't eaten it to my heart's content."

The emperor was trying to comfort her, of course she knew.When it comes to this, she is actually even more guilty, because she mainly eats for herself...

In the future, she will change her past mistakes, find a way to treat the emperor better, and repay him!
Chen Wenxin silently made up her mind to cheer herself up.

The emperor never thought of asking Chen Wenxin to give him anything in return.

To him, concubines are concubines and slaves.

The master rewards the slave because the slave is well-behaved and does things that please the master.

So the master offered a reward to reward them.

But Chen Wenxin didn't think so.

She regards herself and the emperor as equals. If the emperor treats her well, she wants to treat the emperor well.

It's like exchanging gifts between two friends. Today you want to give me a jug when you buy wine, and then I want to give you one when I eat fish tomorrow.

The emperor was moved by her little thoughts, and his heart towards her also changed slightly.

He seemed to finally understand why, he had a special feeling towards Chen Wenxin.

In the beginning, it was only because of her rare beauty and the kindness and simplicity in her eyes.

Then, it was because she was simple-minded, she didn't speculate and flatter him too much, and she didn't expect to use him to support her mother's family.

In fact, when Chen Xihai was promoted, Li Dequan had already told him.Chen Wenxin's small table is similar to the surrounding guards, it seems that he wants to bring money to Chen Wenxin's mother's house.

He sent people to pay attention to this matter, only then did he realize that Chen Xihai, a second-class bodyguard, had such a difficult job, and most of his salary was contributed to his superiors.

As a result, there are so many children in the family that it is almost impossible to have enough to eat.

If he doesn't ask, Chen Wenxin really won't mention it to him, but wants to send home the saved moon silver by himself.

Li Dequan told him that the bag of silver that Chen Wenxin wanted to give away was only a dozen or so taels.

Her wish is very simple, she just wants to use her own strength to make the life of the family less difficult.

She is not like those people, who want a higher status, more favor, and want her mother's family to be more prominent...

Even want to be queen.

He tried not to regard this rare woman as his subordinate and concubine.

But equal friends, wives.

Chen Wenxin got well again after being comforted by the emperor.

Suddenly thinking of seeing the fourth elder brother in Shufangzhai, he asked the emperor.

"Your Majesty, guess who I saw in Shufangzhai today?"

As if the scope was too wide for the emperor to guess, Chen Wenxin added: "It's a child."

The emperor held his chin and pretended to think.

"My child, is it my child?"

"Yes." Seeing that the emperor guessed the idea all at once, Chen Wenxin nodded vigorously to encourage him to continue guessing.

"It's... the third elder brother?" The emperor guessed wrong on purpose: "Yinzhi is the most mischievous child, he must have heard the opera and went to watch the excitement."

"No, Concubine Rong said, Brother San still has a fever today."

Only Chen Wenxin would tell the emperor so directly, no, such unceremonious words.

"That can only be the fourth elder brother."

Chen Wenxin asked back: "Why can't it be the big brother and the second brother?"

The emperor said: "Do you think Elder Brother is a place where you can go whenever you want? There is a master over there, and Wen Da follows, how can they go to Shufangzhai so easily."

"That is to say, the two little elder brothers and the two little princesses who are still raised in the harem. The seventh princess of Debi is still in her infancy, and the fifth princess is well-behaved and obedient by nature, and will not run around. You said that the third elder brother is sick, then It can only be the fourth elder brother."

The emperor pretended to analyze it for Chen Wenxin, and seeing Chen Wenxin's deeply convinced expression, he couldn't help laughing.

Chen Wenxin was stunned by the emperor's laughter, and it took him a while to react.

"Your majesty, you already knew that the fourth elder brother went to Shufangzhai, right?"

She is so stupid, how could a five-year-old elder brother sneak out alone?I'm afraid it's because she is considerate of Si Age Si Mu's emotions, can't bear to be restrained, and protects her from a distance.

Nothing big or small in this palace can escape the eyes of the emperor.

Then she will be relieved.As long as the emperor does not acquiesce, no one should dare to frame her or anything.

At most, it's like Yigui today, making her a little angry.

"Your majesty, the fourth elder brother looks really good."

The emperor didn't understand her so-called good looks, thought it meant that the fourth elder brother was strong, so he nodded.

"It should be good to take care of the concubine."

He also didn't go to Tong Guifei's place for a few days, and he didn't even see the fourth elder brother, so he didn't have any impression of whether the fourth elder brother was healthy or not.

"Your Majesty, I mean..." Chen Wenxin gestured on her face with both hands: "The fourth elder brother looks very cute, very much like the Emperor. Here..."

She couldn't get enough gestures, so she simply pinched her cheek and said, "It's white and fat, like a freshly baked meat bun!"

Do you use meat buns to praise your children?
The emperor took her hand away and saw that the skin on her cheeks was fair and tender, because of her young age, there was still some baby fat that hadn't faded away.

Playful for a while, I also pinched it.

This feeling is really good.

"Your majesty, you can pinch the fourth elder brother, it will be more comfortable."

Her cheeks were kneaded by the emperor, her expression changed, and she quickly directed the flames of war to the fourth elder brother.

The emperor really stopped.

"You mean, today you pinched the fourth elder brother?"

"No!"

Chen Wenxin answered with lightning speed.

The fourth elder brother, Xiao Baozi, is not in a good mood today, and I don't know where I have offended him.

How can there be a chance to pinch his face.

Chen Wenxin told the emperor about his meeting with the fourth elder brother, and wanted to hear the emperor analyze why the fourth elder brother was angry.

It's his son after all.

"You said, the fourth elder brother got angry when he heard that you often went to Yonghe Palace to play?"

The emperor already understood the reason.

"It's not that the fourth elder brother hates you, nor does it hate the Yonghe Palace. His child is a bit like me, and it's not a good thing to be too premature. It's because I missed him."

"What does the emperor mean by this?"

The fourth elder brother doesn't hate her or the Yonghe Palace, why does he have such an attitude today.

"The fourth elder brother was raised in Concubine Tong's palace since he was a child, and had little contact with Concubine De. If it was another child, he would only consider Concubine Tong as his mother. But elder brother heard that his biological mother was Concubine De, somehow, so he always I want to see Depin."

If Tong Guifei treated the fourth elder brother well, the fourth elder brother would not be so eager to seek the maternal love of his birth mother, right?
The emperor continued: "Every time he sneaks away to the Yonghe Palace to see De Concubine, De Concubine misses his son in his heart, and then drives Si Elder brother away, saying that he has already been raised by Concubine Tong Gui, so it is unreasonable to come to see her like this."

Debi has such an awkward temperament, and Chen Wenxin is still touched by it.

In this way, the fourth elder brother is really pitiful, the adoptive mother does not love the biological mother, and runs to the Yonghe Palace several times but is driven back by the concubine De.

This kind of shadow is too heavy for a five-year-old child, no wonder he blew up when she asked the fourth elder brother to go to Yonghe Palace to play.

He was just afraid of being kicked out again.

So I'd rather be in Shufangzhai, and take a look at Debi from a distance.

"Your majesty, the fourth elder brother is too pitiful."

Whatever Chen Wenxin was thinking in his heart, he said it out of his mouth.

The emperor knew that she was acting out of kindness, so he couldn't bear the fourth elder brother.

"I ascended the throne at the age of eight, my parents died, and only my grandmother taught me. I have overcome all the difficulties and obstacles along the way."

The emperor said to her seriously: "Yinzhen is my son, he should hone his temperament through hardships like me. The Aixinjueluo family does not raise a pampered elder brother."

This is the way the emperor summed up his son's teaching from his own experience.

The fourth elder brother is not considered the most pitiful in the elder brother. Compared with the second elder brother, his biological mother, Depin, is at least still alive.

It seems that the emperor is following the "Wolf Dad" route.

This kind of education method is too strict for a modern person like Chen Wenxin.

But this is ancient times, and these elder brothers are the heirs to the imperial power.That means they have to be elite and have to pay more than others.

She had nothing to say about the emperor's education methods, she just nodded and said no more.

The emperor said: "However, if you really like fourth elder brother so much, I can send him to Qianqing Palace more, and you can supervise him to read and practice calligraphy here."

Such a young child needs to read and practice calligraphy...

The emperor suddenly thought of something, and said again: "By the way, I don't seem to remember your handwriting well, so you should practice handwriting with the fourth elder brother."
