Harem: Biography of Concubine Qin

Chapter 257
In early summer, the weather is slightly hot.

It rained heavily last night, and the air is exceptionally fresh today.

On this day, the cars and sedan chairs of many officials and eunuchs in the capital drove to the northern suburbs of the capital, and the scene was very spectacular.

The onlookers on the street saw the servants following the sedan chairs, among them were young maidservants and rich nuns.

From this point of view, it is the appearance of the official's family members traveling.

Someone laughed and said, "Could it be that Long Live Lord is going to be drafted again? Why are so many female relatives rushing to the northern suburbs?"

"Don't talk nonsense, it's the ancestor's rule to choose every three years, and the draft will start next year!"

Even so, it is well known that the emperor moved to Changchun Garden in the northern suburbs.

These chariots, horses and sedan chairs were clearly going to the northern suburbs, so weren't they heading for the emperor?
Another person interjected: "There is not only Changchun Garden in the northern suburbs, but also a Nianxin Garden!"

"Brother, tell me, what is the reason for this Nianxin Garden?"

"You don't understand." The person who mentioned Nian Xin Yuan was a little proud.

"This Nianxin Garden was given to the Chen family by the Lord Long Live. Do you know the Chen family?"

"How can I not know, apart from the Chen family that produced a concubine Qin, which other Chen family is there?"

As soon as the Chen family was mentioned, and then combined with these officials and women, everyone's faces became a little ambiguous.

Speaking of which, the Chen family's concubine Qin is so beautiful that ordinary people can't see it.

This Wuji general, Chen Wenyi, is the most beautiful man in the capital.

Rumor has it that there are quite a few ladies who often climb the walls of the Chen family's mansion just to see Chen Wenyi.

There is also a little miss, who stands guard on Chen Wenyi's way up and down, looking forward to a chance encounter with him.

The anecdotes about Chen Wenyi and a certain young lady have long spread throughout the streets and alleys, teahouses and restaurants of the capital.

Of course, those are stories made up by storytellers, but the hero of the story is undoubtedly Chen Wenyi.

why?
Because this person is simply born with the image of a perfect hero, not even the famous emperors and generals in history are so attractive.

These storytellers not only spoke in tea houses and restaurants, but were often invited to speak at banquets of officials and eunuchs.

It's just that when they say it on this occasion, they will slightly change the homophonic name, and the rest are exactly the same as Chen Wenyi.

Even the women in the brothel are competing to be proud of being able to have a relationship with Chen Wenyi, and often make up some romantic stories with him...

"Brother, what do you mean, these ladies from the official family are all running after General Chen? No way, can't you form a team to climb the wall?"

The person with a face I knew very well gave him a blank look, "You have to climb the wall, why don't you hold a birthday banquet, wedding banquet, and garden banquet?"

Those cars and sedans passed by on the street in layers, making people worry that if they were not careful, they would block the road.

It's just that the coachmen are very careful, even if the lady's personal maid in the car keeps urging, hurry up.

They didn't dare to go really fast.

How many carriages and horses there are on this road, the ladies inside don't know, don't the coachmen outside them know?
If this is fast, and the sedan in front is accidentally crushed and overturned, the road will be blocked.

It's not scary to block the road, the scariest thing is the cars behind, the lady inside will definitely rush out and kill him!

Because they, like their own young lady, were rushing to attend the garden banquet of the concubine Qin.

"Miss, don't hurry. The sedan chair of the eldest lady of the Nalan family is ahead, and it will hit it soon!"

A coachman lowered his voice and said to the people in the car.

After a while, the coachman with keen ears heard a scolding.

"Hmph, does Nalan Yulu rely on her to have a good Ama soon? General Chen doesn't like her!"

Amitabha.

The cautious coachman prayed silently in his heart, Buddha blesses me, let me go to the suburbs of Beijing safely.

……

At the same time, Chen Wenxin just woke up and began to dress up.

"Today is for the ladies of different families to compete for beauty. Your mother and I have a good name, so don't dress up too well."

She cast a wink at the mirror narcissistically, "Anyway, no one looks better than me even if I don't dress up."

Bai Shuang, who was on the side, was stunned with the comb in his hand when he heard this.

Then she nodded solemnly, "Yes. The master is not dressed up, and she is also the most beautiful woman in the whole capital."

Please, this Bai Shuang has no sense of humor!

Chen Wenxin's narcissism did not attract complaints, but got such a serious evaluation.

She rolled her eyes towards the sky, "It's hot, so I feel comfortable wearing Hanfu. Just wear a stone gray skirt with a pink jacket."

She wants to dress more plainly and elegantly, so as to give the noble ladies in the capital a chance to compete in beauty.

Da Gege and Er Gege are the five princesses, and they all like her Hanfu style and are very envious.

She ordered Bai Xue and Bai Fei to make two bodies for the three of them according to the style of her clothes.

The three of them like it very much, and they all want to wear it to meet guests at the garden banquet.

This proposal was rejected by Chen Wenxin. She persuaded the three of them, "One of you three is the emperor's daughter, and the other two are the adopted daughters of the emperor. You are Manchus, and you all come out to meet guests in Han clothes. What will others think?"

"Others must think that it is my concubine Qin who instigated you. At that time, Mother Qin'er will be dead, what do you think?"

The three of them were also shocked when they heard this, they just wanted to wear it because they thought it looked good, they didn't think too much about it.

Since Chen Wenxin said so, they naturally cooperated.

What she said, I don't know why people are always willing to listen to it.

Perhaps it was because she would not forcefully make decisions for them, but would ask for their opinions.

She really treats them as adults with the ability to think, and asks them, what do you think?

This feeling of being respected made them very happy.

Chen Wenxin had eaten breakfast, and the small table came in to report: "Master, the fifth princess and the two princesses have arrived, please come in?"

"Please come in quickly."

I saw three well-dressed girls walking in, the fifth princess was in front, and the two princesses were behind.

Their clothes are not very gorgeous, but they are generous and decent, showing the demeanor of the heavenly family.

She couldn't help but praised: "You guys really know how to choose clothes. They all look good in such clothes, but they are not eye-catching. Now the emperor advocates integrity in the court. As the daughters of the emperor, it is good for you to be simple."

The fifth princess lowered her head shyly, "It's all taught by Qin'er Niang, so we know what clothes to choose."

As she spoke, she looked at Da Gege behind her, and Da Gege responded with a smile.

Since the fifth princess followed their example and returned to Changchun Palace to teach her nuns a lesson, the fifth princess became much more cheerful.

If she had been praised by Chen Wenxin in the past, the fifth princess would not have dared to speak.

Now she speaks generously and decently, and others feel much more comfortable watching her.

Chen Wenxin hurriedly said: "I just had breakfast here, you can use it? If you haven't used it, use it here."

The fifth princess is still a little unaccustomed to Chen Wenxin talking about me, my mother, Concubine Hui is her adoptive mother, and she will call herself Hui'eniang in front of her.

Sometimes when I am in a bad mood, I will call myself my palace.

Hearing Chen Wenxin like me, mine, she felt very kind.

Da Gege smiled and said: "We used breakfast to find the fifth princess, and the fifth princess also used it, so we came to see Qin Erniang together."

Chen Wenxin stopped after hearing the words, and took the three of them to Nianxin Garden.

The banquet was held in a waterside pavilion not far from Tingyu Pavilion, which is open everywhere, with mountains behind and water in front.

The environment is quiet and breezy.

When Chen Wenxin brought the five princesses to the waterside pavilion, what he saw were the noble ladies of the capital dressed in various costumes, gathering in twos and threes to talk.

Some are watching fish by the railing, some are enjoying flowers under the shade of trees, and some are sitting at the table drinking tea.

Huan Feiyan is thin and has different looks.

Those delicate voices of warblers and swallows, coming across a bend of water, are particularly pleasant to hear.

"Concubine Qin is here!"

The small table opened the way, and when he heard his loud voice, all the women rushed forward.

"Please concubine Qin Jinan."

Taking advantage of this moment, Chen Wenxin had the opportunity to nod the heads of everyone present.

Good guy, there are hundreds of people!

She forced herself to be calm and softly said: "Excuse me."

She knew that there would be many people coming, but she didn't expect it to be so many!

Did she send so many invitations?

Among the crowd, Nalan Yulu, who stood out from the crowd, rushed forward and walked to Chen Wenxin's side.

"Your Majesty, my daughter's elder brother ordered my daughter to pay his respects to your empress on his behalf."

Under the jealous gazes of the ladies behind her, Nalan Yulu leaned down again, with a smile on her face.

Chen Wenxin took her hand and patted it lightly.

"Why be so polite? I don't know how to recognize these ladies, but I just recognize you. For today's banquet, I have to rely on you."

Chen Wenxin said she didn't recognize anyone, but she was the only one, which was simply the greatest compliment to Nalan Yulu.

She hastily said: "What does the empress say, this is what Yulu should do. I recognize Jiuting from the official and female family members of the capital. Don't worry, empress."

Nalan Yulu is considered to be of high status among these women, so she naturally knows many people.

"I didn't send out so many invitations, why are there so many people here?"

She whispered to Nalan Yulu quietly, and Nalan Yulu said: "On the left is just the elder sister leading the younger sister, the cousin leading the cousin, the cousin leading the cousin..."

These girls all wanted to win Chen Wenxin's favor, so as to gain some hope of marrying Chen Wenyi.

Where will those who have not received the invitation give up?Those who beg grandpa to sue grandma will also come.

So in the end, many more people participated than originally planned.

Chen Wenxin nodded after understanding, she smiled and said to the somewhat cautious crowd: "Everyone, please sit down, I have never expected you to be so supportive, I'm afraid it's too simple."

When everyone heard that she not only didn't blame those who didn't receive the invitations for coming, but was also so polite and gentle, they couldn't help smiling.

The outside world said that Concubine Qin is a talented woman, smart, gentle and kind.

Now that I see it, I know what I said is true.
