Harem: Biography of Concubine Qin

Chapter 42 Diao slave
Bai Lu also found this strange.

She knew that her master loved the fourth elder brother very much, so she might not be able to stop her.Simply said: "Why don't you send a small table to report to the emperor first?"

What she thought was that if the fourth elder brother really had something to do with it, her master was neither the biological mother nor the adoptive mother, so it was really hard to control.It's better to let the emperor know, and let the emperor take care of it.

Chen Wenxin nodded.

Anyway, the emperor must know that she ran out, and instead of asking him to inquire about the crime, it is better to make a show and send a small table to report first.

She secretly slandered, Bai Lu is so careful, it's a pity not to be a concubine.

Walking through the path around the embankment by the lake, I came to a quiet bookstore.

The most rare thing is that a small stream flows slowly down the side and merges into the lake water, making a clear sound of water.

Chen Wenxin took a second look, this place is also good, it is the best place for brothers to study quietly.

There was no guard outside the yard, Chen Wenxin went straight to the inside of the yard, only the eunuch came up and beat Qian'er.

As the saying goes, respect Luo Yi first and then respect others, the little eunuch knew that Chen Wenxin's clothes were extraordinary.

It's always right to salute first.

"Excuse me. Are you served by Qingxi Bookstore?"

The nobleman spoke, the voice was like the sound of nature, the little eunuch hurriedly replied: "This master, the slave is here to serve the fourth elder brother."

It was a coincidence, she was worried that she would not be able to find the fourth elder brother.

"Where is the fourth elder brother now?"

The little eunuch lowered his head even more when he heard the words. Although he couldn't look at his expression, Chen Wen knew that he was panicking.

It seems that something happened to the fourth elder brother.

"Our master is Chen Changzai, how dare you not answer when I ask you?"

Bai Lu sternly reprimanded her, completely different from her usual gentle and dignified appearance.

In Chen Wenxin's words, this is called going to the hall and entering the kitchen.If you become a good wife and mother, you can also go up the mountain to fight tigers.

The little eunuch panicked and kowtowed, Chen Changzai's name was louder than Concubine Tong Gui in the garden, how dare he insist on it.

"The fourth elder brother is playing in the house, the study room on the left is the inner room."

The little eunuch made it clear, but he didn't mean to take them there.

Bai Lu wanted to scare him, but Chen Wenxin stopped her with a wink.

Since the little eunuch is unwilling to lead the way, they can go by themselves, why bother him.

If there is any guilt in it, the emperor will naturally arrest him and question him.

"Go and see fourth brother first."

She walked past the little eunuch first, followed closely by Bai Lu.

Only then did the little eunuch behind him dare to raise his head, looked at her graceful back, and ran out of the courtyard...

"Where are the people serving in this house? Where have they all gone?"

There was no one in the study, Bai Lu yelled, and a large group of people came out of the closed inner room.

The leader was a nanny in her thirties, well dressed and jewelry, presumably a respectable nanny.

The nun took a closer look at Chen Wenxin, it turned out that it was Chen Changzai who was favored by the emperor.No wonder the fourth elder brother called Chen Erniang outside the window just now, but he actually called her.

The nanny came forward, saluted her slowly, and said: "Give Chen Changzai my respect, the servant is Tang Nanny from Chengqian Palace, sent by the imperial concubine to serve the fourth elder brother."

Seeing that Madam Tang was not in a hurry, the flustered expressions of the maids behind her also improved, and they greeted Chen Wenxin one after another.

This is definitely a trick.

As soon as he saw her, he used the name Concubine Tong Gui, clearly trying to suppress her.That's right, what's wrong with you, why press her?
If these servants did something to the fourth elder brother, they would not be able to suppress Concubine Tong!
Chen Wenxin smiled coldly: "Nurse Tang?"

After hearing this sentence, Mother Tang didn't know how to answer, Fu Zhuli's body trembled.

It is rumored that Chen Changzai is very kind to his servants.

There was an ungrateful person called a small chair. Not only did she not punish her, she even sent him to Debi.

Nanny Tang is disdainful of such a master, who can't even stand up in front of a slave, so what if he is favored?

It's an angry life!
Who would have thought that when we met today, Chen Changzai would be so eccentric after hearing that she belonged to Concubine Tong Gui.Don't ask her to get up, just let her old bones bless her body...

This is a slap in the face of the imperial concubine!
As soon as she returns to the palace, she will tell Concubine Tong Gui to punish this little hoof who doesn't understand dignity!
"Get up."

While Chen Wenxin was speaking, he spared them and walked into the inner room behind them.

Nanny Tang was about to stop her, but Bai Lu stood guard at the door with a serious expression on her face.

"Aunts and sisters," Bai Lu said politely, without any politeness in her tone:

"Our master is Chen Changzai."

It sounded like a nonsense sentence, and everyone was stunned after hearing it.

Since when did Chen Changzai's name sound like Concubine Dong E in Shunzhi's time.

The person held in the palm of the emperor's hand, the status is not high, but the treatment is no worse than that of the imperial concubine.

This time the emperor did not take the imperial concubine with him when he went out. It is said that Concubine Hui should be the number one empress and concubine.The emperor ignored Concubine Hui, and took Chen Changzai with him all day long.

Chen Changzai sat in the emperor's sedan chair, and the emperor slept in Chen Changzai's Guanlan Pavilion.

Has the imperial concubine ever sat in the emperor's sedan chair?

Even the former queen Hesheli never sat!
Gee.

Chen Wenxin entered the room, the light in the autumn afternoon was not bright, and there was not even a window open in the room.

She frowned, and pushed open a square window with bright tiles on the side with a clatter.

The room suddenly brightened up, with simple furnishings and a strong scholarly fragrance.

The fourth elder brother jumped off the Arhat's bed barefoot, hugged her and said, "Chen Erniang, Chen Erniang..."

Tears hung on his white and tender little bun's face, hugging her like a life-saving straw.

"Chen Erniang, please tell Huang Ama, I don't want Nanny Tang! I don't want Nanny Tang!"

When he said this, he looked out of the door with fear in his eyes.

Chen Wenxin was taken aback, she never knew when the fourth elder brother would show such a fearful expression except when facing the emperor.

What the hell did Nanny Tang do?
She looked outside the door, and Bai Lu stopped Nanny Tang and the others.

Those people didn't dare to force their way in, but looked at her and the fourth elder brother unscrupulously.

She half pushed and half hugged the fourth elder brother to the bedside, and used a screen in the room to ask poems while riding a donkey to separate their sight.

"Tell Chen Erniang well, what happened? What did Nanny Tang do to you?"

Under her comfort, the fourth elder brother's mood gradually stabilized.

He looked over from this direction, and he couldn't see Mother Tang and the others, so he relaxed a little.

"Nurse Tang insists on me wearing shoes, but I don't want to! Wearing shoes hurts!"

Why does it hurt to wear shoes?
She opened the trousers of the fourth elder brother, and first checked whether there were any wounds on his feet.

No wound was found on his feet, so she picked up a pair of crooked shoes under the bed.

"Is this your shoe?"

The fourth elder brother nodded, looking at the shoes with disgust.

These are a pair of finely crafted sky blue silk boots, and the soles are made of cotton, which is very soft.

She couldn't see the clue, so she put her hand into the boot and felt it, but there was nothing pungent.

Chen Wenxin suddenly thought of something, raised the soles of his boots and compared it to Brother Si's feet, suddenly realized.

These boots are too small...

She couldn't help but find it funny, laughing at herself for being superstitious.

The fourth elder brother's servant is probably careless. Children of this age grow fast in stature and feet.

The shoes won't last long, and they will be made bigger.

The fourth elder brother is only five years old, so there should be a communication problem.

She smiled and pinched the fourth elder brother's face, and said: "Nurse Tang is careless. Fourth elder brother's feet have grown up, so ask her to bring you bigger shoes."

Raising an elder brother in the palace would not dare to be fooled, it is not as casual as Ge Ge.

It stands to reason that Nanny Tang and the others should have brought bigger shoes for the fourth elder brother when they came out of the palace, so she went to ask Nanny Tang to bring them.

The fourth elder brother stopped her with a serious face, and said in a low voice: "Chen Erniang thinks that my son is so stupid that he can't even say that the shoes are too small?"

The fourth elder brother explained to her: "She served the second elder brother before, how could she be so ignorant! It was clearly intentional!"

Yes, even if it is a baby who can't speak and cries as soon as he puts on his shoes, the servant should know that there is something wrong with the shoes.

Besides, Nanny Tang is an old man next to Concubine Tong Gui. Seeing the flustered look of the other people behind Nanny Tang just now, she knew that she was guilty.

Seeing Si Age's angry expression, she couldn't help but feel ashamed.

She was deceived, it turned out that he was crying and making noise just now, and he was pretending to show Madam Tang and the others.

But these people, why do they wear small shoes for the fourth elder brother?
"It's not just about the shoes," the fourth elder brother said anxiously, "These slaves don't do good things all day long! Sometimes I'm in a hurry to pay my respects to Huang Ama in the morning, but they don't give me breakfast on purpose! What's wrong with the dining room?" Now, when will the dining room be correct, but when I see Huang Ama, he will be wrong!"

The implication of Si elder brother's words is that Madam Tang and the others want to prevent Si elder brother from going to see the emperor.

Only now did she figure it out, Mother Tang was instructed by Concubine Tong Gui.Concubine Tong Gui's purpose is probably that she doesn't want the fourth elder brother to be favored in front of the emperor.

She thought that the fourth elder brother was young and easy to manipulate, and he would not dare to disobey when he sent a shameless nanny.

She underestimated the fourth elder brother too much.

He is the future Emperor Yongzheng, how could he be willing to be manipulated by others and lose the chance to be close to the emperor?

The fourth elder brother is Xiaowei light, and the servants under him are all Concubine Tong's people, no one will listen to him.

He knew this very well, and also knew that the emperor favored Chen Wenxin, and Chen Wenxin had a good impression of him.

He simply came to cry, make trouble and hang himself to attract everyone's attention.Make things big.

Chen Wenxin looked out the window, and there was a green lake outside, and on the other side of the lake was the Guanlan Pavilion with fluttering colorful curtains.

The fourth elder brother was yelling at her from this window just now, and the servants in this room closed the window for fear of attracting her.

He himself cried loudly in the house, causing these servants to gather in the house to coax him or threaten him.

His purpose was to make Mother Tang have no time to go outside to stop Chen Wenxin, or the person she sent to inquire.

In this way, he is closer to his purpose of making things bigger.

Chen Wenxin couldn't help sighing, what a precocious fourth elder brother!

No wonder he will be the final winner of the nine sons.

In fact, Chen Wenxin didn't want to have children, subconsciously it was also because of this.

She didn't know the history of Kangxi's harem. She didn't know if there was such a person as Chen Wenxin in history, and what role did she play in history?
In her impression, the fourteenth princes who seized the heirloom seemed to be about the same, and the little princes in the back didn't get involved too much.

If she is destined to have children, let her have a little prince.Born later, wouldn't the sorting come to the end?
The emperor only has four princes now, it's very early.

"Then what do you want Chen Eniang to do for you?" she asked.

This time it was the fourth elder brother who was stunned.

He didn't expect that after he yelled at her a few words, she would come to the bookstore in person.

He thought that at most she would send a maid to come. He heard that Huang Ama returned to the garden early because she was sick. She came to help him because of her illness...

The fourth elder brother gritted his teeth and asked her: "You are not my mother-in-law, why did you help me?"

The fourth elder brother felt that he asked a stupid question, and his mother-in-law didn't like him either.

The first time I saw her was at Shufangzhai, when he went to peek at Debi, she caught him straight.

He didn't give her any good looks, and later in the Qianqing Palace, he also called her "Chen Erniang" for Huang Ama's sake.

He was in a daze the day he ate rose balls, and thought she was his own mother-in-law.

In his imagination, Debi should be so warm and friendly.

He went to Yonghe Palace again and again, and was driven away again and again.I just want to see if Debi will change.

Maybe one day she will suddenly change, her indifferent and serious face will become as kind as in her dream.

"It's not because you kissed my mother, so I can't like you?"

Chen Wenxin suddenly felt a little sad for his early wisdom.

If someone cares and loves him, why should he force himself to be smart?
The fourth elder brother looked very surprised, it was the first time he heard that someone said he liked him.

Neither his biological mother nor adoptive mother said anything, nor did Huang Ama, nor did his brothers.

It was this Chen Erniang, who was neither relative nor relative, who was the first to say so.

A trace of inexplicable emotion spread in his heart, melting away the melancholy accumulated in his youth.

"Chen Erniang, can you invite Huang Ama for me?"

He said "Chen Erniang" from the bottom of his heart.

Chen Wenxin nodded, "When I came, the little table had already reported it. If you don't understand what's going on here, the emperor will definitely come."

"When Huang Ama came, I ran out to complain! Chen Erniang stopped those slaves for me, if Huang Ama asks you, you should tell him everything!"

The fourth elder brother's little eyes are full of hope, "I hope Huang Ama can let me return to my mother's side."

She didn't expect that the fourth elder brother's eyesight was not as short-sighted as that of an adult.

He knew that if he only punished Mother Tang and the others this time, Guifei Tong could send other mothers to hinder him in other ways next time.

If he wants to get it done once and for all, he must solve it from the root cause of Concubine Tong.

Since he wanted to achieve this level, Chen Wenxin had to consider the issue of offending Concubine Tong.

Concubine Tong has always disliked the fourth elder brother, but if the emperor really establishes the fourth elder brother, she will still find a way to get rid of De concubine and make herself the only biological mother of the fourth elder brother.

If the emperor really asked the fourth elder brother to return to the Yonghe Palace because of this incident, Concubine Tong Guifei would lose one and might become the adopted son of the prince candidate.

In this way, Tong Guifei could not blame the emperor, but only her.

It was she who first came to stand up for the fourth elder brother, and the emperor was provoked by her.

She wants to be a low-key person, but this time she is the first bird, is it really okay...

Seeing the light in Si Age's eyes, she really couldn't refuse.

After thinking for a while, Chen Wenxin added for him: "I'll take you to the courtyard, and you cry in the courtyard. Not only will the emperor know, but also others will know."

Now that you have become the early bird, you might as well do things more thoroughly.

If Concubine Tong used this incident as an excuse to ask her to blame, she would at least occupy the moral high ground.

Such a young child can't be depressed by the servants under Tong Guifei's ruthlessness.

She wanted to help fourth elder brother wholeheartedly, but she didn't expect how much trouble she had left for herself with her actions today.

The fourth elder brother nodded solemnly with his puffy little face, and jumped off the bed with bare feet.He grabbed one of his boots and ran outside first.

Nanny Tang and the others who surrounded the door and refused to leave were caught off guard for a while, and hurriedly chased the fourth elder brother and shouted: "Brother, don't run out, you haven't put on your shoes yet!"
