Harem: Biography of Concubine Qin

Chapter 396
Chengde, Rehe Palace.

A flat lake is like a mirror, and there are tall palaces on the south bank of the lake, extending to the hills layer by layer.

Looking from a distance, it is full of layers and exquisite design, like the style of Jiangnan water town, but more exquisite than Suzhou gardens.

Next to Ruyi Island, on the Yanyu upstairs, a graceful woman leaned against the railing upstairs.

She has a beautiful appearance, wearing a pale water green wide-sleeved Han family palace dress, fluttering like a fairy.

On the bench at the side, a small food box was open.

She twisted it lightly, grabbed a small handful of fish food, and sprinkled it into the lake below.

The colorful koi in the lake, smelling the aroma of fish food, swam towards this place in groups.

They form a ball in the water dough, jumping high from time to time, making the woman who sprinkled fish food giggle.

Suddenly, the sound of children's footsteps was heard in the building.

Flick, bang, it sounded like there was more than one person.

The woman looked back and saw two little boys wearing melon caps, one big and one small running hand in hand.

The older one is six or seven years old, and the younger one looks three or four years old, and they are all extremely cute.

"Emperor lady!"

The two children rushed over and threw themselves into her arms.

Chen Wenxin put her arms around one, "Why are Baobao and Guoguo here? Didn't they learn to write at Huang Ama's place?"

Guoguo is Yinchen's nickname, and it just makes a good pair with Baobao.

It is said that this is how it got its name.

One summer, Chen Wenxin called the small table as usual, and cut open the watermelon in the town on the top of the iceberg.

Yin Chen didn't know how to speak yet, he just stared at the watermelon intently, drooling from the corner of his mouth.

No one noticed him because he was too young to eat iced watermelon.

Chen Wenxin was eating happily when he suddenly heard Yinchen babbling.

She was looking up curiously when she heard Yinchen's small mouth open and spit out two clear words, "Guagua, Guagua..."

Chen Wenxin almost vomited blood.

As soon as a child in other people's family is born, the first thing they learn is to call mother and father.

Fortunately, her silly son, who inherited her foodie attributes, even learned to be called watermelon first.

She immediately became unhappy, grabbed the small table and waited for someone to ask, who taught Yinchen to call him Guagua.

Everyone looked innocent.

Who is okay to teach the little elder brother this?

Isn't this full of food?

Chen Wenxin told the emperor about it, and the emperor finally came to a conclusion.

"This may be learned in the womb, no wonder the servants."

When Chen Wenxin was pregnant, she ate a lot of watermelon.

When the emperor said this, she was instantly discouraged, and she gave up on herself: "In this case, Yinchen's nickname is Guagua, and he is worthy of so many watermelons that I have eaten."

The emperor rubbed her head helplessly.

"In our Manchu language, this melon means stupid."

So the two discussed for a long time, from Guagua to Xixi, and finally decided to call Guoguo.

Yinchen said in a milky voice, "Huang Ama said she wouldn't learn, Huang Erniang is lazy, she doesn't learn by herself, ask Guoguo and Fifth Brother to learn."

Tong Yan Wuji spoke very honestly, and Chen Wenxin blushed instantly.

Immediately afterwards, the footsteps on the stairs slowly approached again.

The emperor came up from the bottom, just in time to hear Yin Chen's words.

He hurriedly said: "What did Guoguo say? Ama Huang obviously said that the Queen's Lady has worked hard, so let's bring some food to see the Queen's Lady."

As soon as she heard about eating, Chen Wenxin poked her head out.

"What's delicious?"

The emperor sat down beside her, and with a wave of his hand, the maid brought up food boxes, which were neatly placed on the stone table.

"Here, this is the medicinal cake developed by Lu Zongxin."

As soon as Chen Wenxin heard the word medicated diet, he subconsciously hid back.

"It's a hot day, what did you think you could eat, it turned out to be medicinal food. Lu Heimian is really getting more and more presumptuous, he did it on purpose!"

She turned her face away angrily, not looking inside the food box at all.

The emperor couldn't help smiling when he saw this, picked up a piece, and divided it into two halves to feed the two elder brothers.

"Baobao, Guoguo, is it delicious?"

"It's delicious!"

The two children's voices were childish, Chen Wenxin only thought that they were lobbyists for the emperor, and didn't care.

After a while, I saw Yinchen licking his fingers, and looking at the emperor with wide eyes pitifully.

She moved.

Unless it's something particularly delicious, Yin Chen won't act cute casually.

This point, follow her.

She couldn't help but looked at the table, and saw the so-called herbal cake served in a small dish, the color was golden and shiny.

It looks a bit like hawthorn cake, or kumquat cake or something.

The most special thing is that there is a layer of crushed ice on the bottom, which makes the pastry cool and delicious.

Can Herbal Cake be eaten iced?
She couldn't help being curious, picked up a piece and put it in her mouth, her eyes lit up instantly.

Lu Zong, an imperial physician, doesn't want to work anymore, but wants to be an imperial cook?

It's hard to understand how he made such a delicious pastry.

She couldn't help asking the emperor curiously, "How could this be medicinal food? I can't taste it at all, it looks like it's made of fruit. Lu Zong actually has this skill!"

"It's medicinal food."

The emperor counted them one by one, "There are perilla, amomum, and mulberry..."

Chen Wenxin didn't know much about Chinese medicine, knowing that the emperor was very proficient, so he listened to him.

The more I listened, the more I felt wrong.

These traditional Chinese medicines seem to be nourishing for fetus...

The emperor looked at her in surprise, and reached out to stroke her hair, "It's been a month, and you still don't know?"

"I... I thought I ate too much..."

Chen Wenxin couldn't help stroking her upper abdomen, unaware that she was pregnant with another one.

"This time, I will definitely let you give birth well, so you don't have to worry about it anymore."

The emperor rubbed her, and the two of them faced the lake, looking at the scenery of the lake and mountains.

This is the Jehol Palace, which was basically completed after the emperor ordered people to spend two years.

In the past few years, the war has passed, and the country is peaceful and the people are safe in the Qing Dynasty.

The emperor never forgot that he once promised Chen Wenxin that he would build a palace here for her to escape the summer heat.

This was the first year when the palace was built, so he hurriedly brought Chen Wenxin here without any concubines or other idlers.

This is the world he promised, only the two of them.

All the government affairs of the court were sent here, and the emperor handled them in person.

There are Chen Xihai and Chen Wenyi father and son sitting in Beijing. Except for Baobao and Guoguo, the other elder brothers also stay in Beijing.

In this palace, there are no rules in the palace, and there are no personnel affairs like those in Beijing.

Chen Wenxin returned to her old habits, sleeping until the sun was up every day, and the emperor let her do it.

He himself also gave up his habit in Beijing, sometimes sleeping with Chen Wenxin until seven or eight o'clock, and the two of them slowly got up.

Then in the palace, holding hands and slowly watching the scenery.

Every mountain, every lake was carefully designed by the emperor.

"Look at that lake, it used to be only half the size it is now. Now that it's expanded, doesn't it look much better?"

The emperor pointed to a lake next to it, "It was just like that one in the past, small and round, without any characteristics."

He snorted triumphantly.

Chen Wenxin: "..."

The emperor dug a heart-shaped lake for her and named it Nianxin Lake. This is to praise her!
But the boss Chen Wenxin was not happy.

"Why can't it be called Queen's Lake? It's so powerful and domineering! When people hear it, they will know that it is the same thing as Nianxin Garden in Beijing."

How embarrassing.

On the contrary, the emperor was very calm, "The emperor is harmonious and very affectionate. This is a good thing, what's there to be ashamed of?"

good thing?

Why does she think that she will be passed down as a demon concubine who will harm the country or something like that?

"Look at that pavilion..."

The emperor started talking again, as if every plant and tree were built by him.

Chen Wenxin knew it without listening to the following text.

This pavilion must be called Nianxin Pavilion.

"Why didn't Xuan Ye simply change the name of Rehe Palace to Nianxin Palace?"

The emperor thought for a moment.

"good idea!"

A family of four enjoyed the scenery upstairs in Yanyu, and the two elder brothers never got tired of feeding the fish, and they kept going to the lake to feed the fish.

And the emperor never tired of feeding Chen Wenxin.

Seeing that most of the plate of herbal cakes fell into Chen Wenxin's mouth, she shook her head with a puffy face.

"If you don't eat it, you will have a double chin."

She lowered her head awkwardly, pressed her chin hard, and picked up a thin layer of flesh with her hands.

"What double chin? Your chin is as sharp as a melon seed. Why don't you give me some more."

As a foodie, Chen Wenxin never imagined that she would have this day——

The day I was advised to eat more.

She simply came and went back and forth, and when the emperor picked up the cakes and fed them to her, she fed them back.

Once the two share the burden, a plate of herbal cakes will soon bottom out.

Yinchen watched from the side, almost crying because of his grievance.

"Huang Ama is eccentric, and Huang Erniang is eccentric! You eat by yourself, and you don't give Guoguo..."

Chen Wenxin hurriedly comforted, "Here, give Guoguo the rest, okay?"

She looked into the plate again, the sweet white porcelain was spotless and clean.

Those medicated cakes have already been eaten by her and the emperor.

Guoguo stood on tiptoe and looked at the table, her mouth was flattened.

"Huang Ama loves Huang Erniang the most, and Huang Erniang loves Huang Ama the most. No one loves Guoguo, no one loves Guoguo..."

It's like singing an opera, one set of one set.

Chen Wenxin couldn't help but smile wryly, and quickly hugged him to comfort him.

"Who said this to Guoguo, Huang Erniang loves Guoguo the most, and she loves Huang Ama the most!"

Yinchen burst into laughter and cheered happily.

"Really? Queen Mother?"

"Really, it's more real than real gold!"

Beside him, two men, one big and one small, stared at her after hearing this.

"Emperor Niang, where's the bag?"

The fifth elder brother pouted in grievance, his little face was chubby, as cute as a little bun.

The emperor looked at her with raised eyebrows.

"Say it again, who do you love the most, who do you love the most?"
