Harem: Biography of Concubine Qin

Chapter 306 Helping the Crown Prince
The emperor is only in his early thirties and has always been in good health.

Concubine Tong Gui was sickly, sick in summer and sick in winter.

Could it be that the emperor can't survive Concubine Tong Gui?
When the emperor passed away and the crown prince ascended the throne, Concubine Tong Guifei would have died long ago, so what is the queen mother's dream?

Everyone nodded in agreement when they heard this, but Zhang Guiren was often frightened by Concubine Tong's complexion, even the rouge and gouache couldn't cover up the decadent air emanating from her body.

From the looks of it, it could be as little as a year, and as long as three to five years, I'm afraid Concubine Tong Guifei is about to die.

"Heh, didn't you listen to what she said? She will take over the affairs of the harem when the end of winter is over."

It is the beginning of February, which is the time when winter ends and spring comes.

The warmer the weather, the better Concubine Tong's condition.

But spring is better than this one, and at the end of spring and summer solstice, when the weather gets hotter, she will be sick again.

Her own body is very clear, at this moment, she is still thinking of competing with Chen Wenxin for the power to manage the harem, she is really willing to die for power.

Zhang Guiren sneered and said: "Let her go, the empress doesn't have to argue with her about this. The harem is the place where you can see the wind and the wind, and it's not that she wants to take care of it when she recovers, so let her take care of it."

Concubine Tong's physical condition is well known to everyone, and those who were originally loyal to her in the harem have also defected to Chen Wenxin's side.

If you don't turn against us now, if Concubine Tong Gui is dead for a while, won't these gangsters let others trample on them?
Even if she is struggling to regain her power now, no one may listen to her.

For the first time, the Ministry of Internal Affairs has already bowed to Chen Wenxin's sect, and has been docile and obedient.

Most of the big and small affairs in the harem are taken over by the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and Concubine Tong has no way to do anything about this one.

Chen Wenxin nodded, "What you said is that if she wants power, I will give it back to her. Whether she can afford it or not is none of my business."

She is not worried about Concubine Tong Gui now, but rather Concubine Hui.

With the two promotions of Concubine De and Concubine Rong, Concubine Hui's status is getting lower and lower.

She is the first concubine among the four concubines in the palace, and her current situation is worse than Concubine De and Concubine Rong, let alone Chen Wenxin.

Chen Wenxin is the emperor's favorite person, and those two have just been promoted, and they are in full swing.

There is only one concubine Hui, the emperor doesn't like it, and concubine Tong suppresses her, so she has the false name of being an assistant to the harem.

Concubine Hui was still a woman after all, not too courageous nor cruel.

Her older brother was different.

The elder brother grew up year by year, and there was some discord between him and the prince, which reached its peak when the prince was registered.

As we get older, the contradictions become even more out of control.

She doesn't want brother brothers to fight each other, but it would be a lie to say that she treats all brothers equally.

The fourth elder brother was the first one she met because she knew he was the future Emperor Yongzheng, so she wanted to please him.

Later, I felt that the child was pitiful, and felt pity for him, so I always helped him take care of him.

The fourth elder brother is grateful to her and trusts her, and the two of them have become a relationship like a mother and son and a friend.

The prince took the initiative to make friends with Chen Wenxin after getting in touch with her. The prince is straightforward and smart.

His life experience is more pitiful than that of the fourth elder brother, but fortunately he is favored by the emperor.

Knowing that the prince will experience two wastes and two establishments in the future, and will be demoted to a common man in the end, she still wants to give him as much warmth as possible.

The fourth elder brother and the prince are in one party, and the eldest elder brother and the third elder brother are in one party.

Under Chen Wenxin's intentional guidance, her two younger brothers, Chen Wenli and Chen Wenxin, also leaned towards the prince.

Therefore, if a fight is inevitable, she will definitely help the prince's side.

Following the trend of history, it is inevitable for the prince to beat the elder brother.

She sighed: "Speaking of the prince, now that the elder brothers are grown up, it's really a headache."

Everyone understood why she was talking about headaches, brothers are all men, unlike concubines who hide their quarrels.

The elder brother and the prince were at odds, the third elder brother helped the eldest brother, and the fourth elder brother helped the prince.

Looking at the little ones like fifth elder brother and seventh elder brother, when they grow up and join them, it will only cause more headaches.

Speaking of this, Concubine De laughed and said: "When our fourth elder brother was young, he liked Sister Qinfei very much. Now that he has grown up, he also likes younger sister's fifth elder brother very much."

This is true, but it seems that there is no deep meaning when it is said at this moment.

"That's right. I also like the fourth elder brother very much, and the emperor also likes it. You can see how the fourth elder brother protects the fifth elder brother today. When the fifth elder brother grows up, he will definitely love the fourth elder brother, right?"

Chen Wenxin accepted her words, agreed with her statement, and teased the fifth elder brother who was at the side.

Fifth elder brother can only understand her last sentence, fourth elder brother?Oh, the fourth brother is a good brother who often plays with me.

"Well, Yinqi likes fourth brother!"

Fifth elder brother nodded with a smile, and continued playing with the fur ball in his hand.

Concubine De is grateful to Chen Wenxin, she not only said that the fifth elder brother will love the fourth elder brother in the future, but also promises to Concubine De that she will always take care of the fourth elder brother.

In the past, Concubine De formed an alliance with Chen Wenxin for the sake of the fourth elder brother. At that time, she was still a little afraid, fearing that the fourth elder brother liked Chen Wenxin too much and would not recognize her as a mother-in-law.

Later, Chen Wenxin's status became higher and higher, and the status of her mother's family was even more prominent in the court.

Her mind gradually changed, and she was not afraid that the fourth elder brother would love Chen Wenxin too much, she just hoped that Chen Wenxin would like the fourth elder brother more.

The emperor loves Chen Wenxin so much, if she has a word in the future, why is it so difficult for the fourth elder brother to be named the county king or prince?
She didn't expect to be in that supreme position.

The second elder brother has been established as the crown prince, even if the emperor changes his candidate in the future, he will definitely choose Chen Wenxin's own child, right?

Concubine De is not from a high family background, so she knows that the fourth elder brother is hopeless.

After lowering her ambition, she felt relaxed and didn't have to have so many scruples.

If she can lower herself, Concubine Hui may not.

After all, eldest brother is the eldest son of the emperor, so his status is naturally extraordinary, second only to the crown prince.

So the emperor asked the prince to study political affairs in the middle of the court, and when he went on tour, he only took the elder brother with him, and there was still a possibility of a dispute between the two of them.

Wei Chang said tentatively: "Looking at the eyes of the elder brother looking at the prince, there is no love for the younger brother, but more resentment and jealousy."

Wei Changzai explained it clearly, and even Zeng Changzai, who had just entered the palace, understood it completely.

Eldest brother, he has disobedience to the prince.

Zhang Gui said: "The elder brother is the son of Concubine Hui, and the crown prince is the adopted son of Concubine Tong. If the two of them fight, let's just sit on the mountain and watch the tigers fight."

She didn't feel right after she finished speaking, and said again: "But the fourth elder brother seems to be very close to the crown prince, right?"

She couldn't help thinking, the fourth elder brother and the crown prince are close, is it because of their simple flirting, or is it intentional by Concubine De or Chen Wenxin?

Chen Wenxin gave arithmetic classes to the elder brothers, and she seemed to be on good terms with all the elder brothers.

Which elder brother does she like the most? Does she want to help anyone?
Looking at the young fifth elder brother, this is Chen Wenxin's own adopted son. Chen Wenxin is so favored, does it mean that the fifth elder brother is the candidate for the heir apparent?
Or, wait until she gives birth to one...

Chen Wenxin shook his head and sighed, "You can't say that. We are concubines in the inner palace. There is some jealousy between us. Can we really interfere with the emperor's decision to establish a crown prince?"

"Since the emperor appointed the second elder brother as the crown prince, we should think about the second elder brother. This is to share the emperor's worries."

Chen Wenxin's words sounded high-sounding at first glance, but they had a deeper meaning when he listened carefully.

The emperor appointed the second elder brother as the crown prince, so they have to think about the second elder brother...

She is the one who knows the emperor's mind best, and it seems that the emperor has made up his mind, and the elder brother is just wishful thinking.

Thinking about it this way, I feel that Concubine Hui and Eldest Brother are pitiful.

"In the final analysis, Concubine Hui should be closer to us. But once Concubine Tong Guifei dies of illness, the emperor will either establish a queen, or find a adoptive mother for the second elder brother. Otherwise, the emperor really has a chance, and the crown prince will not succeed without the empress dowager." Decent."

Zeng Changzai said something truthfully, a word to wake up the dreamer, everyone was stunned.

She panicked, thinking that she had said something wrong, which made everyone silent.

"The concubine is talking nonsense, sisters, please forgive me."

She hurriedly bowed her body and saluted, feeling that she had said something wrong and offended everyone.

Only Chen Wenxin knew the reason, smiled lightly, and stepped forward to help her up.

"It's okay, it wasn't you who offended everyone. It was your words that made everyone think of something they hadn't thought of before."

She held Zeng Changzai's hand, Bailu opened the curtain in front, and the two walked out of the pavilion slowly.

Only Concubine De and the other three were still in the pavilion, and it took a long time to come back to their senses.

If Tong Guifei dies of illness, the emperor will find a new adoptive mother for the prince.Whether it is from the emperor's wish or the crown prince's wish, the candidate must be Chen Wenxin.

In other words, if the crown prince ascends the throne, Chen Wenxin will be the empress dowager.

The hearts of the three were as warm as fire, and they had never been so convinced that they were on the right side.

Concubine De was deeply moved. When Chen Wenxin was still living in the West Side Hall of Yonghe Palace, who would have thought that she would be where she is today?
Fortunately, she never treated Chen Wenxin harshly, fortunately the fourth elder brother got acquainted with her by accident, and fortunately she loved the fourth elder brother very much, so Concubine De came to Chen Wenxin's camp.

Everything is unexpected and unimaginable.

Fortunately, God blessed her to choose the right path.

Zhang Guiren is even more fortunate, she has so much virtue and ability, her low status has never been able to help Chen Wenxin.

Chen Wenxin treats her the most affectionately, knowing that she is delicious, so he often sends her fashionable snacks.

It is because she has been treating herself well that she is what she is today.

Even if she is in the palace all her life, she won't be favored by the emperor and won't get any status.

Chen Wenxin will become the empress dowager in the future, and with her character, those who depend on her will be treated kindly.

The women in the harem fight all their lives, some of them are too ambitious, for power and status.

Some just want to get a foothold and don't want to be crushed by others, so they want to crush others.

The current concubine De and Zhang Guiren belong to the latter.
