Concubine Biography

Chapter 5

On the third day, no one came to inform them when to participate in the second inspection, and the hearts of the show girls also recovered from the anxiety at the beginning. Chen Fuer occasionally wandered around the yard, and most of the time he stayed in the yard. In the house, this is the imperial palace, she always remembers, here, no matter when, you have to be careful.

Chen Lu'er also regained her composure, and wanted to go out several times at first, seeing that Chen Fu'er wasn't very interested, she didn't dare to act rashly, and then seeing that the atmosphere in the yard was slowly getting lively, she used the excuse of being bored to go out a few times.

Chen Fu'er saw it, but she didn't stop her. As long as Chen Lu'er didn't cause trouble, she would just turn a blind eye.Presumably, Chen Lu'er also knew that the chance of the concubine being selected this time was not great.

The emperor now has five sons. The eldest prince is 27 years old and has long been proclaimed king. There is no shortage of concubines, side concubines and concubines. There are a lot of sons and concubines.In the 25th year of Li Jia'an, the second prince was named King An, and he has long been a wife and concubine.One of the third prince and the fourth prince died when they were young, and the other died of a sudden illness before their wedding. After many years, they have long been forgotten by people.The fifth prince, Li Jiarong, was 23 years old, that is, Prince Rong who once rewarded the Chen family with green vegetables. There was no shortage of main concubines, but there seemed to be one less side concubine. It is said that he died of dystocia, with two lives.But no matter how it turns out, the position of side concubine is not something they, the daughters of a fourth-rank medical officer, can imagine.The sixth prince Li Jiaxing, nineteen years old, is King Xing. There is only one concubine and two concubines. As for the seventh prince...he is the main character in this draft.

The relationship between several princes is also complicated. The empress died young, leaving only one princess, who married Nanjiang and became the concubine of the Miao people.The first prince and the sixth prince are brothers with the same mother, and the mother is more expensive than the son, and the biological mother of the first prince and the sixth prince was also named Concubine Shu.The second prince is the son of Concubine De Gui, and there is no queen in the palace, Concubine De Gui is considered the first concubine by virtue of her status as a concubine, and Concubine Shu, who gave birth to two sons in one breath, gritted her teeth with hatred.The fifth prince's biological mother was a concubine, the fifth prince passed away not long after his wedding, and the seventh prince's biological mother was just a palace maid with a low status.A prince who is not protected by a powerful mother and concubine, and a prince who has a mother but has a low status are not taken seriously.

It can be said that although the emperor is in his prime now, the battle for the throne in the future will only happen between the eldest prince Cheng Wang and the second prince An Wang. If the other princes are lucky, they will be idle princes. If they are not lucky, they will drink a glass of poisoned wine. .

These days have been slowly spent in chattering discussions among the show girls. No matter whether Chen Fuer wants to hear it or not, she also knows that most show girls hope that they can be selected by King Xing and the Seventh Prince. King Xing has a high status, and the Seventh Prince Even if there is a chance to fight for a serious position, the notoriously cold-tempered Prince Rong, even if there is still a lack of a side concubine, there is really no one to ask him.

Chen Fu'er leisurely waited for the day when she would be dismissed, she always went with the situation.On the other hand, Chen Lu'er has made friends recently, and she shouted at her sister and sister as soon as she left the house.

While leisurely, Chen Fu'er discovered something, that Yang Bingyu, who was expected to become the Seventh Prince's concubine, did not live in the same courtyard as her.

Chen Fu'er didn't think that Yang Bingyu would be brushed off, since she was the appointed seventh prince and concubine, she must be treated differently from them.

On the fifth day in the yard, Chen Fuer was awakened by the noise of quarrels in the yard just after taking a nap. After listening carefully, there was a slight cry. Chen Fuer got up slightly and saw that Chen Luer, who was supposed to be taking a nap, was gone. Chen Fuer Immediately a little uneasy.

She tidied herself up in a hurry, stepped out of the yard and saw that all the beautiful ladies were bustling around together, Chen Fu'er saw Chen Lu'er standing outside watching the fun with a face full of schadenfreude, her restless heart finally fell in the stomach.

It turned out that there were some quarrels between a few beautiful girls, but they were all good-natured and arrogant, and they quarreled with each other. One girl was angry and cried, and there were more and more beautiful girls around. Fang's fight became more and more fierce.

Chen Fu'er quietly pulled Chen Lu'er back into the house, and after listening to Chen Lu'er's enthusiastic recounting of the incident, Chen Fu'er's face was dark enough.

"Do you remember what your mother told you before you left?"

When she asked with a dark face, Chen Lu'er completely fainted. She never dared to forget Zhu Shi's order.

Chen Fu'er sighed, and her tone softened a lot, "We are here to go through the motions, you should be sensible, none of the girls outside is something we can provoke."

Chen Lu'er nodded lazily. She has learned to be good in the past few days. She has also seen a lot of dirty things between beautiful girls, and put away all her previous thoughts.

One day after this little incident, the palace sent a message to let the beautiful ladies rest well, and to check their etiquette the next day.

The inspection of etiquette is also very easy for Chen Fu'er, that is, to walk around the house a few times, and some nuns ask about the contents of "Women's Training", "Women's Precepts" or "Biography of Martyrs". Compared with the first day, this first day The second check is really much easier.

The result came out soon, and out of the original 70 or [-] people, about [-] left, and there were only less than [-] people left. To Chen Fuer's surprise, she, who was not outstanding in appearance, was left behind. Chen Lu'er, who was considered the most beautiful among all the beautiful women, was sent away.

When Chen Lu'er was packing her luggage, she stared at Chen Fu'er several times, but hesitated to speak.Before leaving, Chen Lu'er thought for a while, and handed over to Chen Fu'er a purse that Zhu Shi had given her in her bosom, which hadn't arrived yet.

"I... you can keep it."

Chen Lu'er didn't know what to say, and Chen Fu'er didn't know what to reply, but just took the purse in a daze, watching Chen Lu'er walk out of the courtyard.

The small courtyard became more and more quiet. Chen Fu'er sat in the room for a while before suddenly realizing that almost all of the twenty or so beautiful girls who left this time were girls who were not very peaceful and gossip in the small courtyard.

Chen Fu'er let out a sigh of relief. If she had known that the etiquette inspection was to observe the daily behavior of the beautiful girls, she should also learn from Chen Lu'er's nonsense.

But in this world, how can there be regret medicine?

Character determines destiny!
The remaining 39 show girls were officially named, and the management of the small courtyard became more and more strict, and at the same time it became lively. Today, either this girl was summoned by a certain empress in the harem, or that girl was summoned by a harem empress, especially the internal appointment. It is said that Yang Bingyu, the seventh prince and concubine, was summoned seven or eight times.And Chen Fu'er was summoned only once, and the one who summoned her was a concubine in the palace who had no heirs and was in an embarrassing position.You know, it is easy to be a concubine, but it is not so easy to be promoted to the position of concubine.

She replied tremblingly, never even raised her head from the beginning to the end, she didn't pay attention to what the concubine looked like, only vaguely remembered that she was the concubine Yu.Concubine Yu rewarded her with a palace flower, and no one called Chen Fu'er again after that.

Chen Fu'er also breathed a sigh of relief, she was really not good at dealing with such situations.

The next step is the most important part, accepting the summons of the emperor and other nobles.

Chen Fu'er changed her clothes early in the morning and took a look in the mirror, not pretty!No matter how you look at it, it is not beautiful!It's just that because the life in the palace is really not very comfortable, Chen Fu'er lost some weight, and her chin is a little pointed.Even so, when Chen Fu'er stood with other beautiful girls, she still looked unusually round... round.

Chen Fu'er followed the footsteps of the crowd into the side hall, and a nanny reminded them to pay attention to this and that. Chen Fu'er only felt a buzzing in her head, and she forced herself to calm down, but just to see the nobleman, just go through the motions .

Finally arrived at Chen Fu'er's group of five beautiful girls, they walked in one by one and knelt down.

"Long live the emperor, long live the emperor, and the empress a thousand years ago."

"Pingshen." A deep and majestic voice sounded.

The eunuch flipped through the booklet in his hand, and the girls who were named all stepped forward to answer the questions asked by the nobles.Chen Fu'er counted, but fortunately, he was the last one.

Chen Fu'er didn't dare to raise her head, but judging from the way she was speaking, apart from the emperor, Concubine De Gui, Concubine Shu, the five princes who were present today seemed to have also arrived.

"Chen Fu'er, the daughter of Chen Zhengzhi, the director of the Sipin Imperial Hospital."

Hearing her own name, Chen Fu'er took a deep breath, took a step forward, knelt down and kowtowed, "My daughter has met the emperor, long live long live long live long live long live, empress."

Puchi!

Someone laughed, and the audience fell silent for a moment.

Chen Fu'er froze for a moment, then heard the emperor say, "King Xing, why are you laughing?"

A cheerful man said with a smile, "Don't you think that this girl... stands out from the crowd? It seems that Imperial Physician Chen is very good at raising children."

As soon as King Xing said this, the surrounding laughter increased.

Chen Fu'er's face turned pale, what's going on?Stand out from the crowd?From the corner of her eye, she glanced at Xiu Nu next to her, and immediately felt like a dumb person eating coptis.

No wonder!
The other four beautiful women are all as slender as Zhao Feiyan, but she... is really outstanding.

The emperor was silent, followed by a man's voice, "Sixth brother is very careful. If you like this girl, you will order and take her back to the mansion. She looks like a good child." Chen Fu'er couldn't tell who the voice was. , I don't know if it's Cheng Wang?Or King An?Or is it King Rong?

Please do not!

Chen Fu'er's heart thumped as if being beaten by a drum. Although she was a little fatter, her mother also said that a girl like her is good-born and blessed, but...she doesn't want to be the prince's concubine!
"It's good to give birth..." The emperor pondered for a while, as if he was thinking about something.

"I don't want it! I don't need a son! Give it to Fifth Brother. Fifth Brother only has one son. This girl is suitable for Fifth Brother." King Xing shouted as if he was stepped on his feet.

Even Chen Fu'er, who has such a good temper, was aroused a little bit of anger, do you look down on me?I still despise you!But no matter how dissatisfied she was, she still had to endure it, but she knew what was going on, and if she was not careful, catastrophe would be imminent.

"Okay." The emperor spoke, and everyone fell silent.

"How old are you?" the emperor asked again.

Chen Fu'er's head was pressed against the floor, and she raised her head slightly when she heard the words, but her eyes were fixed on a green brick in front of her, "Return to the emperor, my daughter is 13 years old this year."

"Raise your head."

Chen Fu'er raised her chin slightly, but she didn't dare to move her eyes up at all. After a while, she quickly lowered her head again.

Immediately afterwards, she heard the eunuch's top-notch voice, "Chen Fu'er, the daughter of Chen Zhengzhi, the director of Sipin Imperial Hospital, stay here."

Chen Fu'er was completely dumbfounded.
