Harem: Biography of Concubine Qin

Chapter 297
The crowd was stunned for a moment, some opened their mouths and didn't know how to reply, and some picked up the meat with chopsticks and dropped it in mid-air.

Everyone knows that Chen Wenyi loves this girl the most, but who knows that Concubine Qin is so confident in her second brother?
It is a little frivolous to say this in front of everyone.

Seeing the expressions on everyone's face, Chen Wenxin couldn't help raising his eyebrows, "Why, do you think I'm talking nonsense, my lords?"

She was speaking very seriously.

Seeing that her face is not angry and arrogant, who would dare to say something that would spoil the scenery?
Everyone praised Chen Wenyi, but fortunately he was indeed outstanding, and he didn't need to pay any flattery against his will.

Chen Wenyi was a little embarrassed by everyone's compliments, and because Rong Ruo, Huang Ji and others were familiar with him, they seemed to praise him but actually laughed at him.

The atmosphere at the banquet was harmonious for a while, the emperor looked at Chen Wenxin with a serious face, and couldn't help being curious.

"Tell me, why is Lan Xiang sure to win the battle?"

"When did the second brother fail to do the job the emperor ordered? It's the same in war. The second brother has never been defeated. He won't lose, I know."

This "I just know" attitude that comes from nowhere seems unreasonable, but in fact Chen Wenxin can often guess right.

Perhaps, it was a very subtle telepathy.

Because she and Chen Wenyi are biological brothers and sisters, they can sense each other's truest hearts.

The emperor thought so, and asked Chen Wenyi, "Concubine Qin said you can, can you really?"

Chen Wenxin had already boasted about Haikou first, but he didn't know how to be modest, so he was pushed to the forefront.

Therefore, Chen Wenyi only smiled and said, "I certainly have some skills, but there is a huge gap between the Heilongjiang River Basin and the Central Plains. If the Emperor really wants to send my ministers to take back the city, I still need to know more about the details of this place."

The emperor waved his hand, "Now it's just a discussion, you don't have to be nervous. Seriously, there is nothing to do in the cold winter season, so don't be in a hurry. After returning to Beijing, we can discuss this matter again."

Whether to fight or not, and how to fight, are still questions.For the time being, I can't think about who to send to fight.

At this moment, Li Dequan hurried in from outside.

Not to mention the courtiers, even Chen Wenxin had been by the emperor's side for so long, and he had never seen Li Dequan so flustered.

An ominous premonition made her frown.

Li Dequan went up and whispered something in the emperor's ear, and the emperor frowned suddenly.

"Quick, order everyone to pack up quickly, and set off for Beijing!"

Now that I've cleaned up, I'll go back to Beijing. When it's done, I'm afraid it will be dark soon.

No matter what happens, don't be in a hurry!
Li Dequan looked embarrassed, he wanted to dissuade the emperor but he didn't dare, so he tried his best to wink at Chen Wenxin.

Chen Wenxin didn't know what happened, so she didn't dare to dissuade her, so she could only say: "Your Majesty, I'm afraid it's too late to pack up and leave today. Why don't we let them pack up today, and we'll return to Beijing early tomorrow morning. It's hard to walk at night in snowy weather. Lu, Your Majesty, think twice."

The emperor's complexion was particularly ugly. At this time, only Chen Wenxin would listen to what he said.

He nodded with difficulty, and seemed to have no intention of eating.

All the ministers wanted to ask the emperor what happened, but they didn't dare to ask. They hesitated for a while, and stood up wisely to leave.

I only heard the emperor said in a difficult way: "The empress dowager is an old man, I'm afraid it's not good..."

The empress dowager's health has become worse and worse in the past two years, and she is ill for more than half a year.

This year it was a bit heavier, and it was almost impossible to get out of the bed.

It can be regarded as an omen, so the ministers were not surprised when they heard this.

"Your Majesty, don't be anxious at this time, it is inevitable for old people to suffer from illnesses. Maybe it's okay."

Hearing this, the emperor hurriedly ordered: "Hurry up, send a team of guards to escort Lu Zongxian back to Beijing. His medical skills are good, I'm afraid it will be of some use."

The entire team of the emperor's royal driver is too large, if it is such a light and simple team of Lu Zong and a few guards, now they can go to the next station before it gets dark.

Li Dequan responded, and hurriedly ran out to pass the message to Lu Zong.

This kind of time is the time to test his leg skills. He must run fast enough so that the emperor will not be angry when he sees it.

All the ministers here comforted the emperor, and they all resigned one after another.

Chen Wenxin also accompanied the emperor back to the bedroom, she knew how much the empress dowager meant to the emperor, and understood how worried the emperor was at the moment.

He lost his parents since childhood, and the empress dowager is his father.Also mother.

Teach him how to be a good emperor, care about his growth, and praise his achievements.

She is almost all the spiritual pillars of the emperor's self-reliance and self-improvement.

Now that the emperor is getting older and the empress dowager is getting old, this pillar of the sky is about to fall.

From Li Dequan's hurried appearance, it can be seen that the Empress Dowager is by no means an ordinary illness, but really ill.

If the palace hadn't been basically confirmed, such news would not have been spread easily, causing the emperor to be in vain.

Perhaps at this moment, the Empress Dowager has...

Chen Wenxin didn't dare to think about it anymore, she could only use pale words to comfort the emperor.

"The emperor's grandmother believed in Buddhism all her life, and she made great contributions to the Qing Dynasty. She is tired, Xuan Ye let her rest freely, and don't make her worry about you, okay?"

She didn't want to say those hypocritical words, the empress dowager would be fine with her own appearance.

Since the Empress Dowager is going, there is no point in giving the Emperor hope in vain, but he is still disappointed in the end.

The emperor sighed deeply after hearing this, "The emperor's grandmother is my closest relative, even closer than my siblings. Without her, I would not be able to become the emperor. She is going now..."

The emperor's eyes were red, and he couldn't help recalling the things in his childhood, recalling the voice and smile of the empress dowager.

She has been assisting the emperor wholeheartedly, and the ministers asked her to listen to the government behind the curtain, but she refused, for fear of hurting the emperor's dignity.

When the emperor ascended the throne when he was young, he was naturally arrogant, and he treated the veterans he didn't like with an arrogant attitude, and the empress dowager did not criticize him on the spot.

Afterwards, she would go to comfort those old ministers, ask them to forgive the emperor for being young and frivolous, and then educate the emperor not to be like this.

She didn't teach the emperor face to face, it was just for the face of the emperor Zhou Quan.

Then the emperor established a queen, and then took charge of the government and held great power.

The empress dowager gave him all the power, let him learn to be responsible for his own decisions, and let the former queen Hesheli take charge of the harem.

She backed away by herself, willing to be a ladder, and silently helped the emperor behind her back.

Over the years, her health has gotten worse.

In order to fulfill the Emperor's filial piety, every year the Emperor's Longevity Festival, the Empress Dowager always insists on attending.

The emperor likes Chen Wenxin, so the Empress Dowager also treats Chen Wenxin with kindness.

The emperor hated Concubine Tong Gui, and the old subordinates of the Empress Dowager were also secretly monitoring the crimes of Tong Jia's clan.

……

The emperor saw all this.

It's just that he's grown up now, in his thirties, and he's embarrassed to keep pestering the imperial grandmother like he used to when he was a child.

So it seems that their grandparents and grandchildren are not very close.

In fact, whether to kiss or not is in my heart, not going to say hello every day is called intimacy.

"The emperor's grandmother is already considered a long life at her age. Her husband, son or grandson are all so capable in her life. How lucky is the emperor's grandmother. She lived a vigorous and consummated life."

Chen Wenxin continued to comfort the emperor, and he got better now.

"I must rush back to see the emperor's grandmother for the last time, and I cannot let her die in regret."

He held Chen Wenxin's hand and said: "The imperial grandmother loved you a lot during her lifetime, she must also hope to see you before leaving."

"Yes, we will see the imperial grandmother. We can go to Shanhaiguan Pass when we go back, and we will be able to reach Beijing in a short time. Besides, Lu Zong has already rushed back first, and he will definitely let the imperial grandmother hold on until we go back."

With Lu Zong here, even if it is ginseng to continue his life, he can hang it for two or three days.

From Shengjing to the capital, it takes seven or eight days at the fastest and ten days at the slowest.

The emperor's heart was a little wider, and Chen Wenxin took the opportunity to say: "I didn't have a good meal just now, so if I don't eat more, how can I get up early in the morning to hurry? Just to meet the emperor's grandmother earlier, Xuanye should use more, right?" ?”

After hearing the news, the emperor probably lost his appetite, so Chen Wenxin ordered Bai Lu to go down to the dining room to make some light dishes, and then served with hot porridge.

At this moment, someone will bring it up, and the emperor must eat some when he sees it.

She sent someone to deliver some dishes to the ministers who were present just now, in the name of the emperor, to take care of these hungry ministers for him.

Chen Wenyi's copy was delivered by Bai Lu himself, "Second Lord, this is the meal that the emperor rewarded the adults. Because the news about the empress dowager came suddenly, the emperor didn't think about it in time, I'm afraid you adults didn't have a good meal."

What she said was of course a scene, Chen Wenyi saw that it was Bai Lu, how could he not know the truth?
"I'm afraid it was your master who asked you to reward me. Your majesty is in a trance right now, how can you think about such a delicate matter?"

Bai Lu smiled shyly, "Since the second master knows, don't tell other adults to know."

She called Chen Wenyi after her younger sister Ying'er. When Chen Wenxin was visiting relatives in the palace, she lived in Nianxin Garden for a few months, and Bai Lu followed suit.

Others would only think that she was loyal to Chen Wen, as if she was her dowry slave.

How could she have imagined that she was just using this cover to get closer to Chen Wenyi.

"Of course I won't say anything. Go back and tell Nian Nian to stop thinking about others and forget about yourself."

Chen Wenxin has this temperament, thinking about other people's affairs carefully, but it's her turn to be more confused.

Bai Lu suddenly thought of something, clapped her hands and said, "Oh, yes. The master only asked to pass on the emperor's meal, but she forgot about her own!"
