Harem: Biography of Concubine Qin

Chapter 244

Two days after this incident, the emperor went to Yikun Palace to stay overnight and brought a lot of notes.

"I thought that being in the Qianqing Palace was just a commentary. It would be better to come to you and have red sleeves to add fragrance."

While grading the papers, the emperor looked at Chen Wenxin, who was rubbing ink beside him, in a good mood.

He was in a good mood, but Chen Wenxin didn't seem to be in a good mood.

"Why are you pouting and unhappy? I heard about your ghost hunting, Nian Nian is really good, and can relieve my worries."

The emperor did not intervene to help this matter from beginning to end, but Chen Wenxin handled it perfectly.

It not only suppressed the rumors in the harem, but also prevented those pretending to be ghosts from coming out to cause trouble.

When the emperor said this, Chen Wenxin became even more unhappy when he thought about not being able to question Concubine Tong.

The emperor threw away the pen, "Why is this expression still there? Could it be that I'm busy lately and haven't been with you properly?"

When he raised his eyebrows, Chen Wenxin knew that he was thinking wrong.

The emperor dared to think that she was dissatisfied with desire!

"certainly not!"

She quickly defended herself, "There is something that I need to clarify with Xuan Ye."

"Okay, tell me, I'm listening."

She told the emperor all the ins and outs of the ghost hunting.

And her doubts, and the testimony of the Great Mother.

"I asked my father to find out. The guard of the Shenwu Gate has a record in his hand, and knows when and which eunuch in Chengqian Palace bought that box of rouge."

That is to say, there are now many certified physical evidences, which can prove that Concubine Tong is the one who instructed the palace people to pretend to be ghosts.

She looked at the emperor fixedly, "I thought, Xuan Ye might not want to question Concubine Tong at this time, so he asked his father to seal the guard's mouth."

This matter was instructed by Concubine Tong, and the emperor was not surprised.

He was surprised that Chen Wenxin was able to contact the government and came to the conclusion that Concubine Tong should not be questioned.

Concubine Tong has always regarded her as an enemy. Now that she has caught the handle, she has been eager to ask Concubine Tong to blame her for being someone else.

She is so thoughtful that she can consider the government affairs, and.

For the stability of the court, she chose to give up questioning Concubine Tong.

The emperor stretched out his hands to her, "Nian Nian, come into my arms."

Chen Wenxin hugged the emperor's waist aggrievedly, why didn't she want to question Concubine Tong?
It's just that she can tell clearly which is more important.

"Niannian, I read you right. You can put the court affairs first, that's what I want you to do."

The emperor did not say the second half of the sentence, this is what I want you to do, the heart that a queen should have.

The timing is not right now, he can't say this to Chen Wenxin yet.

He is not qualified to say either.

"I don't know about the important affairs of the court. I'm just a woman in the harem. I only know that if Tong Guowei does anything to affect the emperor's plan, the emperor will be angry."

What she cared about in her heart was the emperor's thoughts.

Since asking Concubine Tong to blame would make the emperor unhappy, she gave up.

Even if it is extremely beneficial to her.

The emperor held her tightly in his arms, and was so moved that he couldn't speak for a moment.

He greedily inhaled the smell of jasmine water in her hair, feeling deeply relieved.

There seemed to be a sense of belonging that he was finally not alone on the unreliable dragon chair.

This feeling warmed his heart.

The two hugged each other quietly, and after a while, Chen Wenxin twisted her body and struggled out.

"Xuan Ye should approve the papers, there are so many, when will it be finished."

She also wanted to hug her for a while longer, but she was afraid that the emperor would stay up all night again for reviewing papers, and would have to go to court early tomorrow.

Seeing that he has been losing weight recently, it is better to let him be less distracted and read the scriptures quickly.

The emperor knew that she was considerate, and there was a little hesitation on his face.

The emperor has always been a vigorous and decisive character, and he seldom sees hesitation on his face.

This surprised Chen Wenxin.

Fortunately, the emperor didn't hesitate for long, he said: "I have something to inoculate you in advance, I plan to draw up a decree to make the second elder brother the crown prince."

The emperor had vaccinated her against this matter a long time ago, and told her the reason, and she was completely acceptable.

Just why at this time?
"The crown prince is the foundation of the country. Now the government is in trouble, and there are worries in both the north and the south. Establish the foundation of the country early, and use the hearts of the veterans to secure the hearts of all people in the world."

This is one of the reasons, and it is also the reason that the emperor brought up on the face of it.

As for the underlying reason, it was also for the stability of the Hesheli clan.

The first queen has passed away for more than ten years now, and the Hesheli clan occupies the position of the descendant family, but there is no queen.

The second elder brother was established as the prince, and half of the Hesheli's blood flowed in the second elder brother's body, which naturally reassured them.

"In addition, Concubine Tong is the adoptive mother of the second elder brother. The mother is more valuable than the child, and I want to restore Concubine Tong's position as a noble concubine."

This is also as it should be. Concubine Tong, the adoptive mother, was originally embarrassed and didn't live with the second elder brother for a long time.

Besides, the second elder brother's biological mother is the respected queen, so she may not have a high opinion of Concubine Tong.

Concubine Tong also has selfishness towards her second elder brother. This pair of mother and son is probably the most unlike mother and son in the palace.

Fortunately, it was not his own.

"So, by letting Concubine Tong reset by the way, Xuanye is also trying to appease Tong Guowei?"

The emperor asked her back, "Is Nian Nian angry?"

She shook her head, since she clearly understood the emperor's intention, why should she be angry?
The emperor is for the government and for the world.

It's not that she has some old love for Concubine Tong, so why should she be angry?
"That's what it should be. Although Concubine Tong and Second Elder Brother don't have a good relationship, they are still adoptive mothers and adopted sons in name. Second Elder Brother is the prince, and if he doesn't have a foster mother with enough status, it will also damage his preciousness."

The emperor was very happy with her generosity, "I promise you that the restoration of Concubine Tong is only temporary. After Taiwan is recovered, I will examine her crimes one by one without mercy."

Now for Chen Wenxin, it might not be a good thing for the emperor to appoint the second elder brother as the prince.

The second elder brother had a close relationship with her, so he took a step back and said, what happened to the emperor, the second elder brother ascended the throne.

I think the second elder brother will treat her kindly.

It's just that if Concubine Tong is restored to become a noble concubine, she will once again become the most respected woman in the harem.

The one who should worry about this should obviously be Concubine Hui, not her.

On the contrary, let Concubine Hui temporarily relax her fear of her, she can join forces with Concubine Hui to speak out, and forgive Concubine Tong for not daring to do anything against her again.

That's a good thing.

She hurriedly pushed the emperor's arm, "What's the matter? Isn't she just a concubine Tong, I didn't pay attention to her. Xuan Ye hastened to criticize the papers, I'll be asleep when the time comes, and I don't care about you."

Seeing that she didn't seem to be pretending to be relaxed, the emperor breathed a sigh of relief.

Chen Wenxin's brain doesn't know what to do, she doesn't hate Concubine Tong, and has no feeling for her reset?

In her opinion, it seemed that the emperor had no real affection for Concubine Tong, so she was satisfied.

The emperor shook his head and sighed softly, "Okay, okay, I approve the papers. Don't sleep for now, and pick out the papers that don't matter here for me."

Now in the eyes of the emperor, the only thing that matters is the battle to recover Taiwan.

The second is the movements of Tsarist Russia and Zhungeer in the north, and the third is some anti-Qing and Ming-ming forces among the people.

Other than that, nothing else matters.

Chen Wenxin was not polite, instead of asking the emperor to light a lamp to boil oil, it would be better for her to help.

If the harem is involved in politics, let the harem be involved in politics. Anyway, no one here sees it.

She picked up a notebook and saw that it was a local governor asking about the emperor's health, so she threw it aside.

Then there is another book, the governor of Zhejiang's proposal for the battle to regain Taiwan.

She threw it in front of the emperor.

"This is important, Xuan Ye will look at it first."

Within a few days, the emperor's decree to establish the crown prince and restore Concubine Tong came out.

These two decrees can almost be said to be established by the emperor in order to comply with the wishes of the ministers, so they were promulgated smoothly.

In particular, the second elder brother was established as the prince, and the second elder brother was the only son of the emperor with a noble status.

And Suo'etu, the grandfather, was in control of the court, and no one dared to object.

Although Tong Guowei was worried that the second elder brother would become the prince, he would rely more on Suo'etu, his pro-grandfather, rather than his foster-grandfather.

But Concubine Tong was restored by her mother's noble son. If she is a queen first and then noble, she is also a dead person.

In the future, when the second elder brother ascends the throne, isn't Concubine Tong Guifei becoming the queen mother?
Thinking of this, Tong Guowei naturally did not object.

It is said that the ceremony for setting up the crown prince was extraordinarily grand, but Concubine Tong Gui was just reinstated, and a decree and imperial concubine uniforms would be issued again.

Chen Wenxin was not in the previous court, and he didn't know what the second prince's ceremony was like.

But according to the rules, after the crown prince's canonization ceremony is over, the second elder brother will come to the harem to meet Concubine Tong Gui.

Concubine Tong Gui has always been his adoptive mother.

She ordered Bai Lu to prepare a congratulatory gift for the second elder brother, and after a while she remembered that it was a piece of good ink given by the emperor, and after a while she remembered that it was a piece of clothing material that lined him.

Finally, the small kitchen was filled with today's new snacks.

"The ceremonies in the palace are always extraordinarily cumbersome. For such a big event as the establishment of a prince, it is even more necessary to have red tape. Send these cakes to the elder brother's place. The second elder brother likes them. He must be very hungry."

She was ordering everyone to prepare things here, when she heard a rush of footsteps, and the little table ran in panting.

"Master, the prince is here, and the slaves can't stop him."

She went out in surprise, only to see the second elder brother, who was wearing a brand new bright yellow uniform, running in quickly from outside.

"Mother Qin'er! Huang Ama named me the crown prince, did you know that!"

When he ran up, Chen Wenxin almost subconsciously wanted to squat on the ground.

Then I found out that the second elder brother was already ten years old.

He was already as high as his shoulders, and he no longer had to squat down to talk to him.

"I see. The prince's clothes are really pretty, just like your Huang Ama."

He was named the prince for the first time, and he still looks like a child in high spirits.

Chen Wenxin looked outside carefully, only to find that a group of eunuchs and mothers were following behind, all with worried faces.

Thinking of the anxious state of the small table just now, she felt an ominous premonition in her heart.

"Prince, have you been to Chengqian Palace?"
