Harem: Biography of Concubine Qin

Chapter 2
"The servant greets Miss Chen."

When the leading eunuch saw Chen Wenxin in homely attire, his eyes lit up, and he bowed down respectfully and saluted.

Be so polite to her?
She was a little flattered. Could it be that her status suddenly increased after she was going to bed?This eunuch had never been so respectful to Nanny Gui just now.

Chen Wenxin was puzzled in his heart, but he didn't show it on his face, he just nodded lightly, and replied:
"My father-in-law is very polite."

Unexpectedly, the eunuch's face became more joyful.

Chen Wenxin really couldn't imagine why he was so happy, only heard Nanny Gui's chrysanthemum face approach her, and said with a smile:
"Girl, this is Eunuch Liu, the head of the respect room, here to announce the good news to the girl!"

Chen Wenxin waited for the good news every day, and naturally understood what it meant.

"Girl, let's dress up earlier, the servant is here to talk to the girl about the rules."

Seeing Chen Wenxin's appearance, Eunuch Liu fell in love with him like something.He was a fourth-rank eunuch, so he didn't have to salute a little promise who could only be called a girl.

It's just that he respects in his heart that this is the first beautiful girl summoned by the emperor.Moreover, they skipped the two regular presences and directly summoned this promise. I think it is a bit special to come to the Chen family.

I didn't expect that she was born with such a good appearance, how could the emperor not like her?So even her indifferent posture made Eunuch Liu feel very comfortable.

Noble people should have this attitude, only inferior people are busy laughing and flattering.

Look at this Nanny Gui, who is also the master of the first palace after all, she smiles so much that she looks like a chrysanthemum, isn't she just inferior.

In his heart, he didn't like Nanny Gui's flattery, so he couldn't see the same smiling face as Nanny Gui.

When night fell, Chen Wenxin, who was wrapped into a silkworm chrysalis, was carried to the Emperor's Qing Palace by two fast-paced young eunuchs.

For a concubine like her who lives in Chuxiu Palace with others, it is so shameful to serve her bed.

Only when the palace is divided, can the emperor go to stay overnight in person.

Of course, the concubine and below promised, Changzai and nobles, even if the palace is divided, they are just side halls, and the probability of the son of the emperor's daughter staying overnight in the side hall is extremely small.

Chen Wenxin didn't care about her long road ahead, she just felt hot, so hot that she was sweating all over.

She was wrapped in an extremely long piece of red silk, which was wrapped in countless layers on her body after bathing for two full hours.Every crevice of her nails was cleaned, and every fold of her skin was scented with fragrant flowers.

She is sweating profusely now, isn't all this work in vain?
Seeing the two little eunuchs who were about to leave after throwing her on the dragon bed, she gritted her teeth and called them softly.

"What is the girl's order?"

The two eunuchs felt that it was unreasonable. According to the rules, they should go out after they let people go. Who knows when the emperor will come?But since the master has spoken, they are reluctant to respond.

No matter how low-key the promise is, he is still the master anyway.Besides, this Chen family looks like a flower, after going to bed tonight, I'm afraid she won't be able to be called a girl anymore.

"It's too hot today, and I'm sweating all over. Can you bother the two father-in-laws and send a familiar sister to wipe it for me."

"The Lord Long Live will come later, if I am lucky enough not to offend Long Yan, I will thank the two father-in-laws in person tomorrow."

It has always been the custom to serve the bed, once the red silk is wrapped, it will not be removed again.It's not that it's not allowed to tear it down, but the concubines are either shy or terrified, how can anyone dare to speak?

The two of them were of low status, and they wanted to curry favor with this beautiful girl, lest she would not speak up.Seeing her speak so politely, there is no reason why she shouldn't.

"The girl is so polite, it's what a slave should do."

One of the little eunuchs replied respectfully, and the other rushed out to spread the message.

After a while, two court ladies in extraordinary clothes came in, untied the silk for her and took a bath.

This time after bathing, she didn't wrap the red silk again, but put on a thin violet gauze for her.

Chen Wenxin was helped to the dragon bed again, and after the two maids bowed and left, she was left alone in the huge bedroom, so she started to observe leisurely.

The emperor's bedroom is tall and bright, but very simple and plain.

All the fabrics, such as curtains and quilts, are bright yellow.All the furniture, such as dragon beds and seats, are made of red nanmu.

Two characters and a painting were hung on the wall opposite the dragon bed. The characters were in cursive script. Chen Wenxin vaguely understood the phrase "diligence in government and love for the people", but he couldn't tell what the other words were.

She just had to look at the painting.

She didn't know much about calligraphy and painting, but she saw an ink painting of misty rain in the south of the Yangtze River.After looking carefully for a long time, I still can't see what the signature is.

I think the paintings in the emperor's bedroom must be masterpieces of famous masters.

She was about to look away to look at other accessories when she heard a steady voice:

"Look at this painting, how about it?"

Chen Wenxin was startled, and looked towards the source of the voice. A handsome young man was standing by the multi-treasure shelf and looking at her.

This, this, is this Kangxi?

What about the pockmarked face, why is it not only free of pockmarks, but also very beautiful and delicious?

Chen Wenxin looked at his face several times, and suddenly realized that he had just said something, as if asking her how the painting was.

In ancient times, these noble people had to go around three times when they said a word.The emperor really wants to know what she thinks of this painting?
not necessarily.

Thinking of this, she hurriedly got off the bed, kicked off her shoes and knelt down to salute:
"Slave pays respects to the emperor."

The word "slave" sounds harsh, even though it was said from his own mouth.She thought about it, and when her grade improved a little, she could also call herself a concubine.

After all, all she needs is to improve her status.

To improve, you can only rely on this man in front of you.

So she knelt down and worshiped more devoutly than Buddha.

"Get up, I'm asking you."

The young emperor looked a little tired, walked straight past her and sat on the bed.

"My slave doesn't know much about paintings. If the emperor can hang them in his bedroom, they must be good paintings."

Her understanding of Kangxi was only limited to the records in the history books. When she didn't know him well, she couldn't make any moves at will.So Chen Wenxin gave a well-regulated answer, that is, answering is the same as not answering.

When the emperor walked in just now, he deliberately lowered the sound of his footsteps.

He looked at the woman in gauze on the bed, with no expression on her face, just observing the items in the dormitory.Those dark almond eyes, which are more obvious than others, coupled with her white and slapped face, are as beautiful as a fairy born out of the dust.

He just casually asked about the painting, and she answered softly.There is no trembling like other beautiful girls who face the saint for the first time, but they are contented.

He couldn't help but put a smile on the corner of his mouth, and without thinking much about what she answered, he waved for her to come over.

Chen Wenxin measured the emperor's expression, it seemed that his mood was not too bad.

She carefully sat on the edge of the bed with half her buttocks, thinking that the emperor would say something to her again, but she didn't expect that the emperor was leaning on the dragon-carved nanmu bedpost and had already closed his eyes.

She stared at the emperor's sleeping posture with his eyes closed, thinking that not speaking was more terrifying than speaking just now.

Anyway, at least she knows what to do.

She took a closer look at the emperor, his braids showed signs of being loose, and he was wearing bright yellow pajamas.

I thought I was outside just now and came in after washing up.

She looked carefully at the emperor's face, trying to find pockmarks on it, but she found two on the side of the left ear.

This folklore is too much, but there are only two pockmarks, how can it be said that Kangxi is an ugly man with pockmarks?

She looked at the feet from head to toe, and saw that the emperor was also wearing shoes.

Is this a test of her eyesight?Chen Wen thought for a while, then took off the shoes and put them on the pedals.

The sleeping emperor let out a laugh.

Chen Wenxin was hugging his feet, and he froze there with a smile, not daring to move.

"You girl, you are so bold."

The emperor lifted his legs onto the bed by himself.

She couldn't figure out where she was so bold, shouldn't she serve the emperor to bed first?

Put him to bed first and then with him, wasn't that what Mammy taught?

"Aren't Han girls very shy, but you seem to be full of people."

"The Man-Han family, the servant is absorbing the directors of the two families."

Only then did Chen Wenxin understand that the emperor just laughed at her for not being ashamed.

He didn't know what kind of era he came from, she saw a lot of shirtless men, let alone just touched his feet?

In the Qing Dynasty, foreigners entered the customs. Since Shunzhi, almost every emperor has studied Sinology. Chen Wenxin remembers that Kangxi loved Sinology very much and wrote many poems.

Sure enough, the emperor heard the Man and Han family nodding with a smile.

"Is it not hot now?"

Chen Wenxin heard that the bull's head was wrong, but the air did cool down unknowingly, and the emperor didn't say that she hadn't reacted yet.

But how does the emperor know that she is hot?

Could it be that those two little eunuchs alarmed the emperor when they went out to call someone?

No wonder the two court ladies were so exquisitely dressed just now, where the two little eunuchs were so excited, they must have been sent by the emperor himself.

Thinking of this, she vaguely felt that she had broken the rules.

But the emperor didn't seem to be displeased with her soft-spoken words.

"Not hot not hot."

As she spoke, she didn't know whether it was to respond to her own words or to show courteousness, she picked up the bright yellow silk quilt on the bedside and covered the emperor's body.

"Is it that impatient?"

The emperor's tone suddenly became ambiguous, and he gently leaned into her ear, and the heat made her feel itchy.

She blushed instantly, and then remembered the rules.

Eunuch Liu said several times that she should wait for the emperor to lie down, get out of the cocoon wrapped in red silk, and then get into his quilt from the emperor's feet.

Just now the emperor didn't cover him with a quilt, and she took the initiative to cover him up, no wonder the emperor misunderstood!

Seeing her blushing, the emperor seemed to be satisfied.He thought this girl was so bold, but she was still shy.

For a moment, I became playful and wanted to tease her.Unexpectedly, she became shy and looked even more beautiful.

He looked at the violet pajamas she was wearing, which was a tribute from the West.Wearing it on her body, the slender waist...

He had been approving paperwork for a day, and he felt a little tired at first.

At this moment, he became energetic, and he turned over and pressed her firmly under him...
