Harem: Biography of Concubine Qin

Chapter 246 Sunbathing

Concubine Tong won the Phoenix seal again, so she naturally refused to be quiet.

The first person she operated on was Zhang Guiren who still lives in Chengqian Palace.

Zhang Guiren and Chen Wenxin were good friends in the past, but she just turned a blind eye.

Zhang Gui was born with mediocre looks and was not favored. He was an insignificant person.

Now she has been promoted to nobleman because of Chen Wenxin's support.

How can Concubine Tong tolerate it?
She is a member of Chengqian Palace, if she wants to be enfeoffed, she has to propose to the emperor herself.

When will it be her turn for Concubine Qin to reach out to Chengqian Palace?
She first thought that the Empress Dowager was praying for blessings, and asked Zhang Guiren to copy Buddhist scriptures and send them to Baohua Hall to worship.

Zhang Guiren didn't offend her on the surface, so she naturally couldn't deal with Ding Changzai like she did back then, but the number of transcriptions was extremely demanding.

Zhang Guiren doesn't know a few big characters, how can he copy Buddhist scriptures?

She drew gourds in the same way, and the characters she drew were naturally not good-looking.

Concubine Tong tore it up for her by herself, and asked her to continue copying, and it went on and on again.

Zhang Guiren's court lady secretly came to Yikun Palace to send a message to Chen Wenxin, saying that Zhang Guiren stumbled because of copying scriptures and had no time to visit her.

When she asked again carefully, she knew the reason.

"Where is Zhang Guiren's material for writing? This is really difficult for her. It's a beautiful spring, and I will spend it in the Buddhist words like Concubine Tong."

Guifei Tong governs people by copying Buddhist scriptures.

Dingchang was like this at the beginning, and Zhang Guiren is still like this now.

"Go tell your master and make her be more patient. Concubine Tong Gui has just returned to power, so it's normal for her to show her prestige, and it won't take long."

If it was longer, she would be afraid that others would comment that she was intolerant.

Concubine Tong cherishes her reputation, and she will not let her reputation be defeated by such a trivial matter.

After all, isn't she rectifying Zhang Guiren just to show her face?

The court lady was about to go, Chen Wenxin said again: "She likes the food in this palace the most, just wait a moment. Bai Lu is going to pack some exquisite food for Mrs. Zhang, and let her take it."

Bai Lu nodded to accept the order, led the little maid, and walked to the small kitchen.

Naturally, Concubine Tong Guifei had to give her the prestige of being dismounted, so she just accepted it obediently.

This also has an advantage, the affairs of the harem are all handled by Concubine Tong, and she is happy to be at leisure.

When she has free time, she happens to be able to go to the elder brother's office to teach the elder brothers.

This is the first time Chen Wenxin went to teach them after the second elder brother was registered as the prince.

Now the third elder brother and the fourth elder brother have also moved to the elder brother's place. The four of them live together to better cultivate their relationship.

It's just that Chen Wenxin always felt that something was wrong with the atmosphere.

The fourth elder brother and the second elder brother have always had a good relationship. After the second elder brother became the prince, the fourth elder brother seemed to be very happy for him.

The elder brother has a gloomy look on his face, and the third elder brother is the elder brother's little follower, so naturally he can't be happy.

After the establishment of the crown prince, the four elder brothers were clearly divided into two factions.

Although they used to form groups in pairs, it was because of their different personalities and interests.

Today, it is because of different interests.

Tell her to look only feel worried.

There is also a fifth elder brother in her palace who is learning to speak, and I don't know what will happen to this one when he grows up?
There are also the younger Sixth Brother and Seventh Brother...

Chen Wenxin shook his head and put down his book.

The elder brothers and attendants below all looked at her expression, including Chen Wenli and Chen Wenxin.

They were sensitively aware of the small group among the elder brothers, and became more and more careful not to speak casually.

However, although there was a rift between the four elder brothers, they were still very good to the two of them.

After all, they are Chen Wenxin's younger brothers.

The second elder brother was the first to say: "Mother Qin'er, what's wrong with you?"

The children all looked up at her, and she smiled and said, "I see the spring is beautiful, and it's a pity that the students are still confined in this room. Why don't we take half a day off and I'll take you outside to bask in the sun, how about it?"

The spring is warm outside, and it is of course very comfortable to go out to bask in the sun.

It's just that the elder brothers are all hardworking, even the most lazy second elder brother doesn't dare to be lazy now.

Who would have thought that Chen Wenxin would startle the world with just one opening of his mouth, and let them skip class to bask in the sun?

Isn't this just playing truant...

Everyone looked at me and I looked at you, all a little hesitant.

"Physician Lu said that children of your age can grow taller if they drink more cow's milk and goat's milk."

Seeing that everyone hesitated, she used this to encourage them.

My brothers really fell for the trick. How many boys of this age don’t want to grow taller?

Although they don't look as short as their peers, it's better to be taller.

Tall men are imposing, just like their Huang Ama.

"Ms. Qin, where are you going to bask in the sun?"

"It's out there on the grass."

In this way, even if they are seen by others, they can quickly withdraw to the school.

Chen Wenxin made a wishful thinking, and ordered the palace servants of elder brother to bring milk, and then spread a blanket on the grass.

The sun was so warm that it shone on the face so comfortably that one couldn't keep one's eyes open.

Brothers all competed to sit closer to Chen Wenxin, but Chen Wenli and Chen Wenxin were squeezed away.

The little eunuchs carried the table, milk and snacks, Chen Wenxin said: "Eat a piece of snacks first, and then drink the milk, so that the nutrition of the milk will not be lost."

The fourth elder brother asked: "Chen Erniang, is this also what Lu Taiyi taught you?"

She blinked, "You Huang Ama taught it. Think about it, when the Yellow River overflows, don't you have to block it with stones and sandbags, so that the water can't flow?"

The fourth elder brother made a gesture with the snack and the milk. What Chen Wenxin meant was, take this snack and stuff it in the stomach to prevent the milk from flowing down?
What kind of nonsense is this...

Although he didn't believe it, he still followed what Chen Wenxin said, and ate the snack first, and then drank the warm milk.

"Mother Qin, can you tell us more about the Southern Tour, please?"

The elder brother didn't care about anecdotes. He knew that the emperor's southern tour was mainly for river governance, and he wanted to care about river governance.

Seeing that summer is coming, when it rains heavily, I wonder if the Yellow River will burst its embankment?
If he asks now, when Huang Ama wants to test their questions on this aspect, he can have a good idea.

Chen Wenxin looked at the elder brother's eagerness to learn, and nodded to him.

She said to the others: "You have to study hard with Big Brother, Big Brother is the most diligent and eager to learn."

As soon as the words came out, the second elder brother curled his lips first, he was the one who looked down on the bookworm of the eldest elder brother the most.

It's just that he couldn't refute in front of Chen Wenxin.

The elder brother was a little shy after being praised by her, and lowered his head slightly.

Originally thought that if the second elder brother was canonized as the prince, Chen Wenxin would love him even more.

Unexpectedly, she was still the same as before, only encouraged and criticized by their behavior, not for status.

"The Yellow River originates from the Bayankela Mountains in Qinghai, and flows through seven provinces of our Qing Dynasty, including Mongolia. How many provinces are there in our Qing Dynasty?"

As soon as Chen Wenxin opened his mouth to test them again, everyone began to count them in their heads.

Zhili, Shandong, Shanxi, Anhui...

She interrupted their train of thought, "It's eighteen. If Qin Erniang asked your Huang Ama casually, he would have said it casually. Do you know why?"

Because the emperor is always concerned about national affairs, he can naturally tell the provinces of the Qing Dynasty like a few treasures.

Brothers can naturally understand this meaning.

"The Yellow River will eventually flow into the Bohai Sea. The upper reaches of the river along the way have too much silt. When the silt is brought down, it blocks the downstream. The original river bed was raised and the river couldn't hold it, so it naturally overflowed. "

"Where does it overflow? Naturally, it is the provinces along the way. It is not only the mother river, but also a disaster river that brings floods. Your emperor Ama is a dignified generation of emperors. For the safety of the people along the river, he has learned a lot of river management. Knowledge."

For a king, the governor of the river should be given the task of governing the river, and he didn't have to do it himself.

However, once the Yellow River flooded, the damage would be so great that the emperor had to learn this knowledge by himself and supervise it himself.

Simply speaking, this kind of personal diligence is worthy of admiration.

"Let me ask you a simple question. Apart from the accumulation of sediment, what other reason is there for the Yellow River to explode and break its embankment?"

Brothers have different opinions, some say it is because of the increase in summer rain, and some say it is because of the melting of ice water in spring.

It is even said that it is because the dams were not built strictly.

She sighed softly, "So, you have to learn from your Huang Ama. As long as it is for the people of the country, you have to learn everything."

Encourage them to study more, so there is no time for small group struggles, right?
Chen Wenxin looked at the hearts of his elder brothers, and continued to add a handful of firewood.

"There is a saying in the Buddhist scriptures, called Sumina mustard seed, mustard seed Nasumer. It says that there is greatness in the small, and even extremely small things can teach us a lot of truth."

"It's like the ants on the grass, this little grass, or a little flower. Although they are small, the truth behind them cannot be ignored."

The second elder brother thought for a while, and said first: "What Qin'er Niang said, isn't it just to learn from things?"

"The prince is right, that's what he means."

She smiled and touched the second elder brother's head, "The classes you usually take include Manchu and Chinese, Confucian classics, arithmetic, and Buddhism. These are far from enough. Your Huang Ama doesn't have a master who manages rivers. How can he Will it rule the river?"

The third elder brother muttered: "Then Huang Ama must have secretly learned it by herself after class."

"The third elder brother is right, but it can't be called secretly learning. You Huang Ama, that's called being eager to learn. Do you give yourself extra homework after class?"

The elder brothers asked themselves that they could not be as diligent as the emperor. They all knew that the ministers and the people of the previous dynasty praised their emperor ama for being diligent in government, loving the people, and working hard to govern.

goo-dong-

Chen Wenxin swallowed a big mouthful of milk, and narrowed her eyes in satisfaction.

Lying on the grass drinking milk and basking in the sun is really comfortable.

How can it be so easy to be a prince?
Since they have a quarrel over the crown prince, let them think about how to learn from their Huang Ama.
