Harem: Biography of Concubine Qin

Chapter 40
With Chen Wenxin's accumulation of food, the emperor is not in the mood to hunt anymore.The hunting time was originally scheduled for five days, and on the third day, the emperor would leave camp and return to Tsinghua Garden.

It was Chen Wenxin who stopped her, saying that she hadn't eaten enough game.

"You still want to eat game? You can only drink porridge these two days."

It is said that a little farewell is better than a newlywed, the emperor and Chen Wenxin had a little farewell for one night, and they became more and more tired.

She has been recuperating in the house for the past two days, lying in bed most of the time.He simply didn't even comb his hair, and just hung it behind his head.

The emperor rubbed her hair and felt that it felt so...

More comfortable.

The emperor is still humane, he didn't use the popular treatment to make her starve, he just told her to drink porridge.

Sparse white porridge, so clear that you can see people's shadows.

That's all, let's just drink a bowl.

"Your Majesty, if you don't hunt, let others hunt for a few more days? Can't I eat in two days?"

It's not just for her mouth.

You know, the emperor doesn't necessarily go out of the palace to hunt once a year.The ministers, especially the generals, were all vying to show their military strength in front of the emperor.

The concubines are used to restraint throughout the year, so it's not easy to come out and have fun.She couldn't bear to go back to the garden after only two days of making them feel at ease.

The emperor nodded: "That's fine."

He didn't know that in her little head, she had considered so many people.

The generals and guards were the happiest when the news spread that the emperor wanted to return to the garden by himself.

They don't have to worry about the emperor's safety, and they can hunt at their true level.

When the time comes to present the prey up, the emperor will still reward them when he sees who has the biggest prey.

What Chen Wenxin didn't expect was that none of the concubines would stay, and they all expressed that they wanted to go back to the garden with the emperor.

She expressed her doubts to Bai Lu, and Bai Lu was not surprised at all, and explained to her: "Master, don't think about them with your own thoughts, they are different from you."

Bai Lu didn't speak so bluntly, because bluntly, it would be too ugly.

Those women in the harem, from the seemingly honorable Concubine Tong, down to the humble and cowardly Wei Xu...

Is there anyone who doesn't focus on the emperor?

Wanting rewards and pampering from the emperor is the idea of ​​the young concubine.

Wanting the emperor to elevate the status of the mother's family is the idea of ​​the humble concubines of the mother's family like the De concubines.

Want to be behind.

This is the thinking of a high-ranking concubine like Concubine Tong who is not greedy enough.

Everything they want must be planned from the emperor.

Chen Wenxin thought for a while, when she first came to the emperor, didn't she also think that the emperor could give her everything she wanted?

Let her eat well, dress well, and live in peace.

Let her have spare money to give to the Chen family, so that her family can survive well.

The difference between her and them is that she doesn't want so much from the emperor.She didn't get everything from a man, that sense of what she deserved.

So the emperor treated her well, and she tried every means to repay him, and treated him sincerely.

The pay and return in the relationship should be basically equal. What he can give is glory, power, and wealth.

She can't give these.

But she can be considerate, understanding, and sincere.

This made Chen Wenxin, who originally held the idea of ​​"whoever is stupid can love the emperor", gradually fall in love with him.

These are exactly what the emperor needs.

It was something the emperor couldn't get from other concubines.

This is like a purposeful gold digger approaching a rich man.

If this rich man is stupid, maybe he would be willing to marry her, and spend all his wealth for her while enjoying physical enjoyment.

If this is a smart and rich man, he knows that this kind of woman cannot marry.

The emperor happened to be a smart and rich man.

In his eyes, except for Chen Wenxin, almost all of his concubines are gold diggers.

Worshiping money, worshiping power, worshiping position...

Chen Wenxin felt that the cold war with the emperor this time turned out to be a blessing in disguise.

The two not only have a better relationship, but also understand each other's thoughts better.

She's lazy, doesn't want to fall in love with him, and doesn't want to restrain her feelings.

Since the emperor dared to be sincere to her, why should she be afraid?
When they returned to the garden, they lived as before.

There were vague rumors that Chen Changzai was ill, and within a few days, even the palace knew the news.

Concubine Tong Gui sent someone back to the garden to find out what kind of disease she was suffering from?Are you pregnant?

The little eunuch sent back first reported the matter to Xiao Lizi, and when Li Dequan reported it to the emperor, the emperor was feeding Chen Wenxin medicine in Guanlan Pavilion himself.

She thinks the medicine is bitter, and she will coax it for a long time after drinking a spoonful.

In order to divert her attention, the emperor simply told her this as a joke.

Li Dequan clicked his tongue secretly, the emperor doesn't even avoid these things now.It's not surprising, this master is the emperor's first love.

Sure enough, Chen Wenxin didn't pay much attention, and was fed several spoonfuls by the emperor.

She just focused on talking, and said dissatisfied: "Why do you think you are pregnant when you feel uncomfortable? Even my brother and those rough guys can think of it like this!"

Concubine Tong Gui's inquiry naturally has bad intentions, Chen Wenren and those men will be wronged.

A woman who had just been married for a few months suddenly vomited, and anyone would think of pregnancy.

Who would have thought that there would be a girl who was married and didn't know how to control herself, so greedy that she vomited herself?

It's not that she married someone else, but the emperor.

As she was talking, she looked down and saw that there was only the last spoonful left in the medicine bowl.

The emperor quickly picked up the spoon and fed it to her mouth, and she quickly twisted a piece of candied fruit into the fruit plate on the small table.

She didn't look carefully, and stuffed it into her mouth as soon as she picked it up.It was actually a candied kumquat, very sweet.

"Your Majesty, this is delicious!"

She picked up another one, and this time stuffed it into the emperor's mouth.

The emperor grabbed the food and stuffed it into his mouth, with a look of satisfaction on his face, Li Dequan almost cried for those eunuchs serving meals.

Every meal delivered to the emperor has to go through a silver needle test for poison and a special person to taste it before it can be presented to the emperor.

Even if it was sent by the concubine, it is the same for any tonic soup.

These people who are in charge of tasting food are eunuchs who serve meals, and they work hard to maintain the rules left by their ancestors and ensure the safety of the emperor.

They want to know that the emperor eats like this in Chen Chang, why don't they bang their heads on the pillar and cry for their ancestors?

The emperor ate the kumquat and objected: "I see that the golden jujube from yesterday was better."

Yesterday's golden jujube was so sweet that she lost her teeth, even she, a patient who just drank the bitter medicine, thought it too sweet, but the emperor didn't think it too sweet?

When eating rose balls last time, the emperor didn't ask for sugar!

It seems that the emperor loves sweet taste, and he doesn't treat all sweets equally.

"Can I have porridge for dinner tonight?"

Chen Wenxin tugged at the corner of the emperor's clothes, and looked at him eagerly.

In her heart, she imagined that she was a white-haired girl bullied by Huang Shiren, and begged bitterly: Sir, please spare me!
She has been drinking porridge for two days, and her complexion has recovered.It is reckoned that once she is let out of the house, she will be alive and kicking.

The emperor nodded and said: "I will cook some fresh and non-greasy dishes for dinner, and I will share them with you."

When she was drinking porridge these two days, the emperor had come to eat in the main hall by himself.

A dinner with the emperor can never be too shabby!
Cheering in her heart, she discussed the menu with the emperor.

"How about some ham and fresh mushroom soup? I also have a pheasant and melon seeds mixed with garlic, and the three delicacies stewed with shredded chicken..."
