Harem: Biography of Concubine Qin

Chapter 266
After the emperor dismissed Suo'etu, Chen Xihai was also under great pressure.

He was clearly upright, but the courtiers seemed to think that he had the potential to replace Suo'etu, and praised him to the fullest.

On the day the emperor dismissed Suo'etu, Nalan Mingzhu advocated that Dali Temple should be investigated, but Chen Xihai did not agree with him.

Unexpectedly, instead of being annoyed, Nalan Mingzhu treated Chen Xihai even more affectionately afterwards.

Chen Xihai is not used to being in this position that is touted by thousands of people, so he can only keep a low profile and be cautious in his words and deeds.

The pressure on the emperor is also great.

After the establishment of Suo'etu, the Manchu ministers in the DPRK did not dare to raise any objections.

But what if, as they say, Fujian is really reversed?

This possibility is very small, but not impossible.

Once it happens, the emperor will become a dictatorial and stupid emperor, and he will completely lose his dignity in front of his courtiers.

So he was very anxious, eagerly looking forward to Shi Lang and Yao Qisheng's recovery of Taiwan as soon as possible.

The sooner he recovers, the sooner the Han army flag is transferred back, the sooner he can rest assured.

Chen Wenxin is well aware of the emperor's worries, she is confident, but she can't tell the emperor.

How to say?
I said that I read the history books, Taiwan was recovered by Yao Qisheng and the others, and they did not rebel, so you can rest assured?

She counted the days helplessly, it seemed that she could only be like the emperor, looking forward to the early recovery of Taiwan.

"Hold your mother... hug your bag!"

The fifth elder brother staggered in from the door, surrounded by a group of nurses with their hands spread out, like a hen guarding its chicks.

He is just over a year old and still walking unsteadily.

These nuns who served the fifth elder brother did not dare to let him go outside, but Chen Wenxin said that he had to let the fifth elder brother walk by himself in order to exercise his hands and feet.

They didn't dare to disobey, so they could only protect Fifth Brother like a hen when he was walking by himself.

The master asked the fifth elder brother to go, but they dared not refuse.But if the fifth elder brother falls down, it is still their responsibility.

Chen Wenxin hurriedly stepped forward and squatted on the ground, and the fifth elder brother threw himself into her arms.

I always feel that if she doesn't squat there and continue, the fifth elder brother will fall to the ground.

She held Fifth Prince in her arms, "It's not a bag, it's a baby."

The fifth elder brother was raised under her knees, and she treated her like her own son, even closer than kissing her mother.

She often talks to the fifth elder brother, no matter whether he understands or not, she just talks, which can exercise his language ability.

As she talked, she would habitually call fifth elder brother a baby.

Because when she was a child, she was also called a baby by her parents, and she was still like this until she went to kindergarten.

The Fifth Prince imitated her address and called himself Baby.

But his pronunciation is not standard, he always says it is a bag...

He pinched the fifth prince's little face, he really looked like a bun, and he really looked like the fourth prince when he was a child.

In the blink of an eye, the fourth elder brother has already had a twitch, and he looks handsome.

She looked at the nuns who took care of the fifth elder brother. Sweat was dripping from their foreheads, presumably because they were too careful to prevent the fifth elder brother from falling.

She said softly: "You all go down and rest, let Bai Lu and the others take care of you here. Bai Lu, ask someone to send some chilled fruits to the house of the nuns."

In this hot weather, there is no better reward than iced fruit.

It is often heard that Chen Wenxin doesn't like Mammy, and there are only two appointed by the emperor in the big Yikun Palace, Nanny Liu and Nanny Deng.

Even Da Gege and the nuns beside Er Gege who were brought in by Prince Gong's mansion were punished by the eldest maid of Yikun Palace.

Unexpectedly, those of them who were chosen to serve Fifth Elder Brother did not experience any embarrassment, and often received rewards like other Yikun Palace people.

The nuns smiled and thanked them, saluted and then left.

Bai Lu stepped forward to take Fifth Elder Brother, and couldn't help laughing: "Master, look, Fifth Elder Brother only got up after a break, and there is a mat mark on his arm."

She leaned over to look, and there was indeed an auspicious cloud mark on the joints of the fleshy little arms.

"This must be because Yinqi slept dishonestly and stretched his elbows out of the silk quilt."

In midsummer, in order to relieve the heat, the fifth elder brother's Arhat bed was also covered with a bamboo mat, and the pattern of auspicious clouds was carefully carved on it.

He was also afraid that his delicate skin would be hurt, so a thin layer of silk was laid underneath.

The nanny has said many times before that it is the fifth elder brother who is lively and active.

Of course the nanny didn't dare to complain to the face of Fifth Elder Brother's ugly sleeping appearance, Chen Wenxin only realized now, that's probably what she was talking about.

She was chatting and laughing with Bai Lu here, only to see the little table come in and say: "Master, Fourth Elder Brother has come to greet you."

"Si elder brother, when will he behave like this? What else is there to announce, please invite him in."

The fourth elder brother always ran in by himself, and it was better after adding a second elder brother, that is, he turned his head and saw them as soon as the small table said.

The little table hurriedly turned around to invite, and after a while, the fourth elder brother walked in from the outside, and stood aside to salute after entering the door.

"How did you say that? Why did the fourth elder brother salute me so well?"

In the past, as long as Debi was not watching over, the fourth elder brother would never take the initiative to salute her.

The relationship between the two of them is so close, why did the fourth elder brother suddenly have a biological separation with her?

She went forward to hold the fourth elder brother's hand, only to feel that the fourth elder brother had grown taller like mushrooms after rain.

Xu Shi grew up too fast and the flesh on his body didn't keep up, so he looked a lot thinner.

Hearing what she said, the fourth elder brother raised his head to look at her, and then smiled.

"Chen Erniang has a fifth younger brother, I'm afraid you won't like Yinzhen anymore."

He muttered in a small mouth, seemed a little aggrieved, but also a little happy for Chen Wenxin's caring attitude.

Only then did she realize that she was busy raising money for the Shotgun team a few days ago, and she rarely saw the fourth elder brother and the others.

So the fourth elder brother misunderstood, thinking that she was focusing on the fifth elder brother and didn't like him anymore.

"How come? Listen to me and tell you in detail."

She told the fourth elder brother that she mobilized these rich ladies in the capital to donate silver to the shotgun team.

The fourth elder brother was stunned when he heard this, "Chen Erniang, you are so powerful? My son heard that Huang Ama was worried about the military salary. I didn't expect Chen Erniang to raise so much money by holding a banquet."

She told Si Age this to let him learn something from it.

Of course, it still depends on him to comprehend, she can only be in charge of instructing.

"What's so great about Chen Erniang? She's just willing to use her brain. By the way, how do you know that Huang Ama is worried about the military salary?"

She led the fourth elder brother to sit on the couch, he must have been hot when he came in from the outside, so she asked Bai Lu to move the iceberg closer to him.

The fourth elder brother loosened his collar, "These days, Huang Ama asked my son to go to the main hall, but he was just practicing calligraphy and reading books. But he didn't call him before, because Huang Ama was busy with the war to recover Taiwan, so he didn't Don't dare to disturb."

She thought for a while, and asked, "Where is the prince?"

In the past, the fourth elder brother and the second elder brother both came in and out at the same time, why now they live together, but the fourth elder brother came here alone?

The fourth elder brother showed hesitation on his face, he didn't know how to answer, so he had to bow his head and take a big sip of tea.

"Cough cough..."

He drank too much, and a piece of tea entered his throat, choking him to cough.

Chen Wenxin looked at his appearance, and said calmly: "Don't you know the way of drinking tea, one cup is good, two cups is a thirst-quenching fool, three cups is drinking cows and mules."

"Little Niu, what are you doing here in this palace?"

The fourth elder brother coughed better, and lowered his head a little ashamedly.

He knew that Chen Wenxin was warning him.

"Chen Erniang, my son-in-law is rude. The second brother was reprimanded by Huang Ama a few days ago because of Mr. Suo, and the second brother himself was bored, and Erniang didn't allow me to associate with him..."

So he had to come to Chen Wenxin alone.

She sighed, thinking that the second elder brother was young and vigorous, and he would speak for Suo'etu, right?
He thought that with his status as the prince and the emperor's love for many years, he could influence the emperor's thoughts.

And even if the emperor still had pity for him, he would have to implicate him when he heard him pleading for Suo'etu.

One is to let the prince suffer, and the other is to let the courtiers see that he has no mercy for Suo'etu.

Lest those courtiers are still watching.

"It's not a big deal, the emperor will be fine after being angry for a while. After a while, the two of you brothers can still be together."

She said this, feeling a little puzzled in her heart.

The emperor has often summoned the fourth elder brother recently, presumably because he intends to praise him.

This kind of promotion is of course to compare with the prince being reprimanded, so that others can understand that he will not forgive Suo'etu for the prince.

He would even blame the prince for Suo'etu's crime.

——Well, I like the fourth elder brother, and maybe I will change the fourth elder brother as the prince at any time.

But why did you use the fourth elder brother as this raft?

She also couldn't fathom what the emperor thought about his sons, did he like the fourth elder brother, or did he just grab a random child to take the opportunity to snub the prince?

She shook her head and stopped thinking about it.

The fourth elder brother looked at the fifth elder brother who was dangling on the couch, crawling and standing for a while.

He is more curious about the fifth elder brother than the sixth and seventh elder brothers who are not much younger, because the fifth elder brother is now Chen Wenxin's child.

He not only likes this younger brother, but also fears that he will take away Chen Wenxin's care.

"Come on, come and hug Yinqi."

She teased the fifth elder brother over, and the fifth elder brother opened his mouth slightly, "My mother hugs... a bag."

Chen Wenxin gently pushed his shoulder, "Tell Fourth Brother to hold the baby."

As he spoke, he pushed him in the direction of the fourth elder brother.

The fifth elder brother opened his eyes wide, and when he saw the fourth elder brother sitting there, he opened his mouth and smiled and moved closer.

"Four hugs!"

He threw himself into the arms of the fourth elder brother and rubbed his shoulder with a smile.

"Oops, he's drooling."

The fourth elder brother saw the glistening liquid from his mouth flowing on his shoulders, and his sapphire blue clothes were immediately wet.

Bai Lu hurriedly took off the veil and went forward to wipe his clothes clean. The fourth elder brother was dissatisfied with the dirty saliva, but still hugged the fifth elder brother tightly with both hands.

Bai Lu wanted to take it, but the fourth elder brother pretended not to see it.

"The baby likes the fourth brother, doesn't he? Then the fourth brother will often come to play with the baby in the future, okay?"

Chen Wenxin teased Fifth Prince, and he laughed even more joyfully.

"Then it's settled, Erchen will often come to play with Fifth Brother in the future."

The fourth elder brother hurriedly took over the conversation, as if he was afraid of Chen Wenxin's repentance.
