Harem: Biography of Concubine Qin

Chapter 1
The weather in June is the time when the heat is unbearable.

Chen Wenxin spread her hands and feet, lying in a large font on the embroidery bed.

She crumpled the silk quilt and threw it at the end of the bed. She only wore a water-red tube top and a pair of white silk underwear.

Looking at the mottled tree shadows outside the paper window, she gradually became confused under the attack of heat...

"Oh my girl, this can't be done!"

Nanny Gui from Chuxiu Palace came in, and when she saw her sleeping position, she was startled and screamed.

Chen Wenxin was a little drowsy, and was awakened by Nanny Gui's exaggerated cry, her brows were furrowed.

She has a tendency to get up and hates being woken up.So the two maids in her room never called her and let her sleep until dawn every day.

Anyway, the emperor is not happy, who cares if she sleeps or what she does?

When she saw clearly the food box in Nanny Gui's hand, there was a slight chill in the hot air, and she immediately jumped up from the bed.

"No one saw it, Mammy, please forgive me."

Chen Wenxin's waking up anger was healed in an instant, and she pulled it from the shelf beside her, and she put on a pink outer dress in twos and twos.

Seeing her gorgeous little face, Nanny Gui lost most of her anger.

She is the nanny in charge of Chuxiu Palace, there are many girls living in this palace, who should not support her?This Mrs. Chen is just a promise from someone who just entered the palace. If it weren't for her face, she would not have brought the food box to curry favor.

Nanny Gui is old and has poisonous eyes.With Chen's appearance, he is sure to be successful in the future.

Chen Wenxin's eyes were almost glued to the food box, he greeted Nanny Gui to sit down, and asked the little palace maid Juaner to pour tea.

"The old slave knows that girls like to drink iced sour plum soup, so I went to order a pot for the girl myself. Other girls don't have such fresh ones."

Nanny Gui also found it strange, since she showed her intention to curry favor with Mrs. Chen, Mrs. Chen didn't want clothes or jewelry, but some iced melons or something.

Chuxiu Palace does not have an example of Bingshan, otherwise she would have to get some for Mrs. Chen, and that would be the best way to curry favor.

Chen Wenxin nodded with a smile, and lifted the lid of the food box herself.

Juan'er had just been sent to make tea, and there were only two maids in her room, and the other, Yan'er, was on sick leave.

There is no one to wait on.

"How can I ask the girl to do it herself?"

Nanny Gui said politely, and didn't stop her hand, just took out the jug from the food box and poured a cup into the porcelain bowl.

hiss.

Good ice.

She couldn't wait to take a sip, and felt that every pore on her body was opened, and they were breathing freely, as if they were celebrating their coming back to life.

God knows how afraid she is of heat!

Her body has long been used to the air conditioner. If there is no air conditioner, at least there must be an electric fan, right?
But this is the Qing Dynasty, not to mention that there are no air conditioners or electric fans, even ice cubes are very rare.

She greedily holds the sour plum soup in her hand, and the cold touch of the porcelain bowl makes her unable to put it down.

When I just crossed over four months ago, the weather in March was still very pleasant.

Otherwise, with the official position of the second-class bodyguard of the father of this body, how can he eat such luxuries as iced food.

Fortunately, she chose to agree, the treatment in Chuxiu Palace is more than a little better than that at home.

What's more...

There is also this fine-looking Nanny Gui, who often flatters her with ice-cold food.She has lived in modern times for 25 years, and she can see things clearly.

Didn't he just see her beauty?

On the one hand, Chen Wenxin was disdainful, but on the other hand, she accepted Nanny Gui's favour.

If you don't accept it, you won't accept it for nothing, and besides, she is still in Chuxiu Palace, even if she is in the hands of Nanny Gui, it won't do her any good to face her.

The body she passed through was a 14-year-old Han Chinese girl.

Her father was a coat thrown on the inlaid yellow flag, and now he is the second-class guard of the Hall of Supreme Harmony.She is also called Chen Wenxin, but her appearance is very different.

She felt that she was already pretty. Chen Wenxin was in college, and she was in the Chinese Department where the male-to-female ratio was extremely exaggerated, and there were many suitors around her.

But Chen Wenxin in the Qing Dynasty, with white skin like snow, rippling almond eyes, even when his face was expressionless, he had an air of immortality.

This is the gap between a mortal beauty and a beautiful fairy.

Every time Chen Wenxin looked in the mirror, she would grin her teeth unconvinced and uglify herself, and felt ridiculous after she finished.Anyway, this body is hers now, so why does she uglify herself?
Neuropathy.

"Girl, drink slowly, too."

Nanny Gui is an old man who was there when the Empress Dowager Xiaozhuang was around. How many Han concubines have she never seen?

I just never saw Chen Wenxin being so lazy.

Although she came from a poor background, her father, Chen Xihai, was also a guard in the palace.Why didn't they learn the rules of the Manchus and the diligence of Han women?
In the past month since entering the palace, I haven't picked up the needle or twisted the thread, and I haven't done half of the female red.Every day I sleep until the sun is three poles, and when I wake up, I ask the maids to ask for snacks.

The other selected show girls have been unable to be called for such a long time, and all of them are afraid of losing a few catties, but she is very comfortable.

I'm afraid I've gained a few pounds.

Is this a lack of understanding or a well-thought-out plan?
Nanny Gui only looked at her face and firmly believed that it was the latter.

Chu Xiugong has just entered the three promises of this year's draft, and two are always there.One person divided two or three rooms, promised to be served by two maids, and there were often four.

These are the newcomers to the palace.

The other two promised to be old people, but the emperor was not favored by the emperor, so they were not assigned to the side halls of other empress palaces.

This is probably abolished, and there will be no chance of getting ahead in the future.

When Chen Wenxin heard Nanny Gui talking about these two promises, she made no secret of her disdain.

"Girl, let me tell you the truth." Nanny Gui looked out of the window and said in a low voice, "The room to the east of you lives in the room that was chosen by Tan Xuying three years ago. She doesn't even have the emperor's face." Seeing the last time, I had to wait three years bitterly. Now I am finally relieved."

"The emperor is going to visit her?" Chen Wenxin probably felt sorry for each other, and subconsciously hoped that this Tan promised to escape from the sea of ​​suffering.

"Where is it?" Nanny Gui looked disdainful at Chen Wenxin's speculation.

"She's going to die."

"Why are you going to die?" Chen Wenxin shivered because he drank too much iced sour plum soup or something.

"Before spring this year, it was said that she had typhoid fever. She was short of charcoal and cotton, didn't she suffer from frostbite? The two maids were not willing to serve her for a long time. They begged me several times, but I refused. She didn't agree. Struggle with typhoid fever, those two wished she would die sooner."

"She can hold on, and she won't die until now." Nanny Gui said calmly.

Chen Wenxin's mind went blank and he could hardly think.

Since she entered the palace, she has always held an attitude of rejoicing, thankful that she was chosen and agreed, life in Chuxiu Palace is much better than her home where there is not enough food and clothing.

She remembered that at home, the toilet was dry toilet.The alley was shared by more than a dozen families, and the maggots in the pit were fat and plump, which made her terrified.

There is not even a bathtub for bathing, so I can only fetch a basin of water and stand to wipe my body.

There is no need to mention food. The Chen family has a large population. How can her father's Lumi be enough for her and her four brothers who are growing up?

Her mother felt sorry for the five children, and she was so hungry that she was sallow and emaciated.So Chen Wenxin knew about the draft after time travel, and he didn't want to escape by getting sick or anything like that.

Freedom is precious, but love is even more expensive.

For the sake of survival, both can be thrown away.

She entered the palace to live, even if the emperor didn't like it, it would be good if she could give it to a prince or nobleman as a concubine, at least she could support herself and help the Chen family.
-
She only stayed in Chen's house for four months, so it's not really affectionate.The Chen family is poor, but treats this daughter very well, sometimes they would rather starve her four brothers than starve her.

Most importantly, she kept thinking that she had transmigrated into this body as soon as she woke up, so what about Chen Wenxin from the Qing Dynasty? ——
Maybe right now in her old body.

Comparing her heart with her heart, she can't watch Chen's family suffer from hunger and cold, and also hopes that Chen Wenxin can take good care of her parents in modern times if she travels to modern times.

She is an only child in modern times, and her parents cannot do without her.

She originally thought it would be good to stay in Chuxiu Palace, but the emperor never summoned their newcomers, so she was happy and at ease.It is recorded in history that Lord Kangxi had a pockmarked face, which was caused by smallpox when he was a child.

She didn't want to give in to Chenghuan with a pockmarked face.

But looking at the situation, if the emperor continues to be unlucky, her good days will come to an end.

She will die of typhoid fever at a young age, just like Tan promised next door. No one cares about her, but others are looking forward to her death...

So she went from praying that the emperor would not have time to see them, to pricking up her ears every day, never missing any trouble.

In the first month and fourteen days of entering the palace, the emperor finally remembered them.

On this day, the Chuxiu Palace was as lively as a festival, Chen Wenxin heard the movement outside, and saw a group of strange eunuchs by the window, holding various items in their hands.

Some of the other court ladies who promised to be there often squeezed around to look at those objects.

Presumably the Lord is embarrassed to come out to see, but who doesn't think about it?Maybe everyone is like Chen Wenxin, peeping at the window.

The one in the lead had his chest up and his belly folded, and he didn't seem humble in front of Nanny Gui, he seemed to be a big eunuch.

The wrinkles on Gui Nanny's face turned into a chrysanthemum smile, and without saying a few words, she led the eunuch towards Chen Wenxin.

She was taken aback. Could it be that she was the first person the emperor wanted to summon?
