Harem: Biography of Concubine Qin

Chapter 82
Chen Wenxin rectified the Yongshou Palace. According to the news from the Punishment Department, these palace people will never come back again.

If the circumstances are serious, they will be sentenced to severe punishment, and those who are less serious will be sent to Xinzheku, and they will no longer be able to serve concubines and masters in the sixth palace.

There was no movement from Yibi's side, and she didn't know whether she was restrained because she was afraid that she would be involved in the crime, or she was planning some conspiracy worse than rumors.

The emperor did not punish Nan Huairen, but instead ordered him to go to the Qianqing Palace to give a lecture on the theory of the movement of celestial bodies, and he said that he benefited a lot.

He rewarded Nan Huairen as soon as he was happy, and the rumors about Nan Huairen's secret love for his concubine Qin were self-defeating.

If Nan Huairen really dares to have such thoughts, can the emperor reward him?
To everyone's surprise, the emperor summoned Yu, who had just entered the palace, before the Lantern Festival on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month.

Yu promised to be the empress dowager's family, so she went to see her at the Palace of Compassion, and the empress dowager met her and talked for a long time.

Some people said that the emperor summoned Yu to agree to give the empress dowager a face.It was also said that Yu promised to be beautiful, and might become the emperor's new favorite.

A few days later, the emperor told her that the anklet that fell in Qianqing Palace on New Year's Day was promised by Yu.

The two had just had lunch, and they ate an antique pot named by the emperor himself.At this moment, he was lying on the couch and gossiping, and the emperor talked about Yu's promise.

"How did the emperor see it? Because it's something you haven't seen before?"

The emperor frowned slightly, with a strange expression on his face.

"The chain is ordinary, and the pointed object embedded in it is a wolf's tooth. I saw it at the time, but I didn't say it because I was not sure."

wolf tooth?

Chen Wenxin thought about it carefully, if the pointed object was a wolf's tooth, it should be an uncut wolf's tooth.

Such things, ordinary concubines in the harem would not dare to wear.

She thought of Yuyue's extremely exotic face, and felt a wildness that was incompatible with the Forbidden City.

Why did she leave her anklet in the Qianqing Palace?

In the cold winter months, everyone wears thick clothes, so close-fitting items such as anklets are supposed to be wrapped in layers of clothes and socks, so how could they fall out so easily?

It happened to fall on the main hall of Qianqing Palace.

"Then what did the emperor Zhaoyu promise to do?"

That's what she's most concerned about.
The emperor laughed and said, "Are you still jealous?"

After he laughed, he frowned again, "This jade promise made me feel uncomfortable after seeing it, and I don't know where the problem is, it's just uncomfortable."

The emperor has seen countless people and has a natural sensitivity to people.

He said it was uncomfortable, so it must be that Yu promised something weird.

Chen Wenxin was also uncomfortable. She felt that Yu promised to lose the anklet, which was clearly intended to attract the emperor's attention.

Seeing the emperor frowning, Chen Wenxin also made fun of him, "Why is the emperor uncomfortable? Could it be that you are uncomfortable here?"

Her arms were originally around the emperor's waist.

"Tell you to play tricks, do you want to force me to prostitute in the daytime?"

"How can we, let's talk in a gentle manner!"

She accepted it as soon as she was ready, moved her buttocks, and sat a little further away from the emperor.

"Your Majesty, tell me in detail, what's weird? I'll analyze it for you."

The emperor took out an object from his sleeve, Chen Wenxin took a look, isn't this the anklet he picked up that day?

"She said it wasn't hers and refused to take it back. I think she's lying."

The emperor didn't quite understand, if she intentionally left something close to him to attract his attention, he summoned her to ask, why didn't she admit it?
Chen Wenxin thought of the emperor saying that the ornaments on his head were spikes, and felt chills for no reason.

She always thought that she was a primitive tribe, so she would wear things like teeth and bones to show the tribe's force.

If Yu promises not to admit it, whose will it be?

"I will pay more attention on behalf of the emperor, and I will definitely find out about this matter."

She also became curious about this jade promise, and insisted on finding out if it belonged to her.

"No need, you just need to spend your mind on me."

The emperor pushed him over, Chen Wenxin was pressed on the side of the couch, and the space suddenly became cramped.

"Your Majesty, I just had lunch..."

Before she finished speaking, the second half of the sentence was already sealed in her mouth.

Fortunately, the emperor just kissed her and touched her up and down, and didn't really plan to prostitute her in the daytime.

Not to mention anything else, just saying that he is not obsessed with women, the emperor is definitely a wise king.

"I have to go back to the Qianqing Palace to approve the papers. New Year's Day has just passed, and there are so many memorials piled up in various places. In the next few days, I may not be able to come to Yikun Palace often. If you miss me, go to the Qianqing Palace to serve me with pen and ink."

The emperor stroked her hair, got up and went to bed.

The word "serve pen and ink" is actually grinding ink for the emperor, and then reading the scriptures with the emperor on the sidelines.

How can I accompany you?

The emperor would not ask his concubines to discuss government affairs with him, so the so-called company meant that the emperor read the scriptures and she practiced calligraphy on the side.

She won't do it!I hate practicing calligraphy the most!
Thinking this way in her heart, she still said in her mouth: "I must go often."

He saw through the smallness in her heart, and stared at her with a smile until she looked away guiltily.

"Forget it, it's freezing cold, and I don't want you to go out often."

At worst, he would rest less during the day, finish the paperwork, and come to Yikun Palace to accompany her at night.

The Lantern Festival on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month has arrived, and there is no celebration ceremony in the palace.

On the contrary, Mother Liu and Mother Deng, who had returned to their husband's house years ago, came back, and they were busy greeting Chen Wenxin as soon as they came back.

These two nuns are different from other nuns, their husband's family is an official in the banner, the emperor asked them to enter the palace to serve Chen Wenxin, more to help her.

Chen Wenxin was also very respectful to them, and gave them a holiday on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month.

Both of them were very grateful to her and worked harder.

The small table and the others breathed a sigh of relief, saying that after the fifteenth day, all the lanterns would be removed, and they would no longer have to look at the candles every night.

But in the society of Chen Wenxin's previous life, the fifteenth day of the first lunar month was more lively than the Spring Festival.

Her hometown is in the countryside, where the traditional custom of making lanterns is preserved, there is a grand parade, and there are endless crowds of lanterns all night.

When she was a child, she would go back to her hometown every year on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, just to experience the lively and brightly lit festival.

The lanterns in the palace were brightly lit, but it looked deserted.

"Master, why don't you have a bowl of hot Lantern Festival?"

Chen Wenxin was staring at the lanterns outside the window in a daze, Bai Lu thought she was missing the emperor, "Eunuch Li came to report after dinner, saying that the emperor spent the whole day in the Qing Palace approving papers."

It's not like she misses the emperor.

Chen Wenxin curled her lips, she just felt...

If the emperor doesn't come, it seems that the whole palace is deserted.

She was inexplicably depressed, wondering if she should go to Qianqing Palace to have a look.

But it was so late, I don't know if the emperor has finished approving the papers.If not, wouldn't she have disturbed the emperor, so that the emperor could not rest earlier at night?

The emperor gets up so early in the morning, she can't make him go to bed late.

Thinking about it, he deeply hated why he didn't go there before dinner, the emperor always wanted dinner, so it would be nice to be able to talk at that time.

Ugh.

She lazily scooped up the fresh meat Yuanxiao in the bowl, which was specially made by the small kitchen of Yikun Palace, and it was more to her taste than the ones from the Imperial Dining Room.

With an idea, she said: "This Lantern Festival is very well done, send a bowl to the Qianqing Palace."

The emperor will definitely miss her after eating the supper she sent.

"Yes."

Bai Lu smiled secretly, and walked into the yard to inform the small kitchen, and send another fresh one to the Qing Palace.Unexpectedly, as soon as she walked to the door, she saw the emperor walking towards her.

"Slave servant please the emperor's peace."

Said that Cao Cao Cao Cao is here, now she doesn't have to go to the small kitchen, it's ready-made on the table inside.

The emperor strode into the room, Li Dequan stood outside the door as an attendant, Bai Lu closed the door, and stood opposite Li Dequan.

The two were standing outside the door with smiles on their faces.

"Why is Miss Lu smiling?"

Li Dequan asked first, and Bai Lu replied in a low voice: "Master misses the emperor, so he asked me to send Yuanxiao to Qianqing Palace. But I just walked to the door, and the emperor came."

Li Dequan snorted, and said softly: "Isn't the emperor the same? He didn't rest for a moment during the day, and he didn't dare to take a sip of tea. After finishing a batch of today's papers, he said he would come to Yikun Palace."

They looked at each other with a clear smile in their eyes.

"I thought the emperor wouldn't be here today."

Seeing that the door of the house was closed, Chen Wenxin didn't avoid suspicion, stepped forward and put her arms around his waist and buried her head in his arms.

"I'm hungry, and I miss the craftsmanship in the small kitchen of Yikun Palace."

The emperor was duplicity again, Chen Wenxin covered his mouth and smiled, not exposing him.

"Taste the fresh meat Lantern Festival just delivered from the small kitchen, Your Majesty."

The Lantern Festival in the palace is all sweet, stuffed with crushed peanuts and sesame paste, and you will get tired of it after eating a few.

This fresh meat Yuanxiao has a salty taste, the meat is fresh and tender, paired with the soft and glutinous skin of the Yuanxiao, it tastes very appetizing.

Chen Wenxin likes to eat salty food, and especially asked the small kitchen to do so.

The emperor said while eating: "This meat stuffing is not unusual, it tastes so good when it is put in the Yuanxiao skin. I will make some for my breakfast tomorrow. It is much more delicious than the sweet stuffing."

"As long as the emperor likes it."

Eating with two people is much more delicious than eating alone.The emperor asked for a second bowl soon, and Chen Wenxin also ate a full bowl.

"By the way, I heard that Chen Wenren is going to marry Miss Zuo Shaoqing of Dali Temple?"

A letter from the Chen family arrived after the new year, and the marriage between Chen Wenren and Zeng Yuyin was scheduled for the end of the first lunar month.The emperor bestowed Ruyi on the bed, as a token of love.

This love is not for Chen Wenren, but for Chen Wenxin and Chen/Xihai.

"I decided to make her a fifth-rank pleasant person in advance."

Having Gaoming before entering the family means that Zeng Yuyin can wear Gaoming's wife's phoenix crown and Xiapei on the day the two of them get married.

That's great decency.

"Why did the emperor suddenly give you such grace?"

Chen Wenxin was very surprised.

The emperor smiled and said: "Lan Xiang proposed a green battalion shotgun reform system years ago, and I didn't see the scriptures until after a year. His understanding of the disadvantages of the green battalion is beyond my imagination, and I intend to adopt his reform proposal."

The emperor obviously valued Chen Wenyi very much, and whenever he was mentioned, he was called him.

The reform proposed by Chen Wenyi, how did this grace be added to his sister-in-law?

"Could it be that the emperor... wants my elder brother to preside over the Green Camp reform?"

Not long after Chen Wenyi was conferred the title of General Xuanwu, it was not good for the emperor to give him more favors.It just so happened that Chen Wenren was on the defense of the green battalion. If reforms were to be carried out, it would be more convenient for the two of his brothers to join forces.

Now it's an order for Zeng Yuyin's grace, and I'm afraid Chen Wenren will also be promoted in the near future.
