Harem: Biography of Concubine Qin

Chapter 223

For the first time, Chen Wenxin didn't dare to meet Yigui's eyes, she felt a little guilty.

Lady Yigui can no longer have children, she only has one child, fifth elder brother, and the emperor even took fifth elder brother away.

It happened that the fifth elder brother was taken away and given to Chen Wenxin.

She simply felt guilty. Facing Yigui's anger, she felt that she had robbed someone else's child.

But she doesn't want this child!
Well, she can give birth by herself. After two years, when she grows up, she will definitely be able to give birth.

She didn't need to rob someone else's son to be her adopted son.

But the emperor made such a decision without discussing it with himself, and she had no choice but to refuse.

Mrs. Yigui must have thought that he was the one who made the emperor snatch the fifth elder brother, right?
Otherwise why is she so angry.

Chen Wenxin sighed softly, stood up from the seat, and said with blessings: "The concubine obeys the order."

She was the bad guy again.

Concubine Tong's expression was equally ugly.

If she had known that the emperor would hand over fifth elder brother to Chen Wenxin to raise him, she shouldn't have said that just now.

However, when did the emperor care about her thoughts?

Even if she didn't say that, the emperor would find his own reasons to facilitate this matter.

She couldn't help sneering in her heart, feeling that the hope of the empress seemed to be getting farther and farther away from her...

"Cough, cough..."

The night wind swept in from outside the hall, she covered her mouth with a veil, and coughed twice.

The emperor glanced at her and said, "Is Concubine Tong not in good health?"

She didn't expect the emperor to condole her, and she was flattered for a moment, and hurriedly said: "The body of my concubine is fine, I have an old problem."

In recent years, her body has become worse and worse than before, and she often suffers from coughing.

In the past, the imperial doctor had seen her a few times, and always said that she was suffering from cold, and advised her not to suffer in the Buddhist hall.

Even if it is boiled in the Buddhist hall, it should be smoked in a charcoal stove or something.

Concubine Tong was tired of hearing such words, and later she made a mistake again and stopped seeing the imperial doctor.

There are many prescriptions left by the imperial physician in her palace, and they are almost the same every time.

I asked the palace people to boil the medicine and drink it.

One cannot fail to worship the Buddha, and one cannot smoke charcoal in the Buddhist hall.

The smoke from the charcoal stove is not incense. If the Buddha sucked it up, he might be angry.

She could only wear more clothes.

The emperor nodded, "It's the cold winter season, all concubines and princes, please take care of your health. Especially the palace servants around the princes, you must be careful about your young masters' bodies."

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your concern."

All the concubines and princesses answered in unison.

The emperor picked up the wine glass again, "After drinking this glass, I wish you a new year."

……

New year, new weather, what other people's new weather is, Chen Wenxin doesn't know.

All she knew was that she suddenly had a son.

This son was born in Yigui who always regarded her as his deadly enemy.

After the New Year's Eve banquet, the emperor had to stay in Qianqing Palace to watch the new year as usual, so Chen Wenxin returned to Yikun Palace thoughtfully.

As soon as they entered the palace gate, people flocked up to please them. Seeing Chen Wen's calm face, they became quiet again.

Only then did she notice that the palace people of Yikun Palace were waiting for her to reward her with lucky money.

She smiled and said, "Bai Lu, go and give the prepared New Year's money to the small table, let him distribute it to everyone."

Seeing her smile, everyone started to laugh again, thanking their master repeatedly.

This year is even better than last year, and she prepared more lucky money for the palace people than last year.

The purpose of doing this is to reward their loyalty and not betray their master when they fell out of favor.

The second is to let them see hope and understand a truth——

Follow me, there is meat to eat!
Outside the sky was full of gongs and drums, salutes and fireworks, but Chen Wenxin didn't bother to watch.

Bai Lu happily walked in from the outside, wanting to call Chen Wenxin to have fun.

"They placed the master's favorite sparrow on the small table, should the master go and have a look?"

Seeing that Chen Wenxin was unhappy, she stepped forward and asked softly: "What's wrong, master, are you unhappy?"

Today is New Year's Eve, and the emperor just gave her the fifth elder brother as his adopted son. This is a great joy.

Not only suppressed Yigui, but also stabilized her position.

You know, her biggest shortcoming is that she is young and childless.

Now that the emperor has completed this part, she can completely overwhelm Concubine Rong and Concubine De.

Shouldn't this be happy?
Chen Wenxin frowned and said, "I don't want Fifth Brother."

Hearing these words, Bai Lu was startled, "Why, fifth elder brother is healthy and lively, and will bring a lot of fun to Yikun Palace."

"But Brother Fifth was not born to me."

She knew in her heart that Yigui's virtue was not worthy of being a mother, and she also knew that it was for her own good that the emperor gave her fifth elder brother as his adopted son.

But she wanted Yigui's child, wouldn't Yigui die of grief?
She robbed someone else's son, and that guilt made her unhappy.

"Although the fifth elder brother was not born by the master, he is still young, not yet one year old. The master treats him with care, and when he grows up, he will only recognize the master as his own mother."

The fifth prince only recognizes her, so she will be even more unhappy.

They are two biological mothers and children, and it always seems inhumane to separate them abruptly.

Chen Wenxin felt awkward, no matter how Bai Lu tried to persuade her, she was still not happy.

She also hates Yigui, but she can't take revenge by stealing his children.

This is too vicious.

Chen Wenxin said: "Comparing my heart to my heart, if it is Yigui who is in power now, and she comes to snatch my child, wouldn't I cry to death?"

"Don't worry, I will never let this happen."

The emperor's voice suddenly sounded outside the door, and then a bright yellow figure walked into the hall.

The emperor is not obediently watching the new year in Qianqing Palace, it was like this last year, and it is still like this this year.

Chen Wen was a little embarrassed, the emperor must have heard her saying that she didn't want the fifth elder brother...

"Next time you come in like this quietly to scare me, I'll be annoyed!"

She had no choice but to change the subject, trying to direct the flames of war to the emperor.

The emperor raised his eyebrows. He has always looked like this. Isn't she used to it?
"Yes, yes, my fault."

The emperor winked at Bai Lu, who quietly exited the hall and closed the door.

"Nian Nian is because he can't bear to let the fifth elder brother be separated from his mother, so he doesn't want the fifth elder brother? Is there any other reason?"

Chen Wenxin thought about it carefully, and said solemnly: "I'm afraid he will disturb my sleep at night."

The emperor shook his head and sighed softly, "How did Mrs. Yigui treat you in the past? She framed you for stealing her son Guanyin, and also publicized that you caused her mother's family to be condemned. Why should Nian Nian sympathize with such a person? "

"I don't sympathize with her, I just can't bear to see the fifth elder brother lose his mother."

"You have seen the virtues of Mr. Yigui. If you hadn't seen the red envelope today, how would fifth elder brother cry? Now that she has lost power, the servants in the palace don't treat fifth elder brother well."

The emperor simply threw out his trump card, "If you don't want Fifth Elder Brother, I will send him to Elder Brother's office."

"Fifth elder brother is not yet one year old, how can he be sent to elder brother's place..."

She was surprised, the emperor must be joking with her, definitely not serious.

The emperor pretended to be embarrassed: "Then what can be done, his mother-in-law can't support him, and his mother-in-law doesn't want him. I have to throw him to my elder brother."

If the fifth elder brother is put in the elder brother's place, he will be disciplined by those nuns and eunuchs.

A brother under the age of one who has a low birth mother and doesn't even have a adoptive mother, leaving him like this is like being abandoned by the emperor.

According to the rule of servants in the palace, how could an abandoned child be cared for wholeheartedly?

If that's the case, then it's better to bring her to Yikun Palace to raise her.

"Then I'll keep it..."

After all, Chen Wenxin couldn't bear to let the fifth elder brother be at the mercy of his slaves at a young age.If he was raised in Yikun Palace, at least he wouldn't be bullied.

The emperor predicted that she couldn't bear it, so he rubbed her hair and said: "As long as you treat him well, it doesn't matter if you kiss your mother? You don't have to worry, I think the servants of Yikun Palace are all good at it." Very well, I will definitely be able to take good care of my fifth elder brother."

Chen Wenxin still had confidence in his servants in the palace, so he nodded, "When will Xuan Ye bring Fifth Brother here?"

It just so happened that she ordered someone to tidy up the East and West Halls of Yikun Palace, and when the time comes, the fifth elder brother will be placed in the West Hall, where the nanny and all the servants will be able to live.

"My decree has been made today, let fifth elder brother move here tomorrow."

As the emperor said, he sighed unconsciously, "This year is not easy, and when I start writing tomorrow, I'm afraid there will be a mountain of memorials."

"What memorial?"

The emperor is very particular about the auspiciousness of the new year. Why do you have such a sad look at this time?
"Great victory in the southeast."

The emperor gritted his teeth on the word "great victory", appearing very dissatisfied.

The southeast is the Fujian area. The emperor did not start a war here, and even hoarded very few troops.

Where did the great victory come from?

Thinking about it, this is a saying for the auspiciousness of the New Year. In fact, some disaster should have happened in the southeast area.

"Taiwan's Zheng Jing, who occupied the mountain as the king, is dead. Zheng Jing is quite like his father Zheng Chenggong. Now that he is dead, it provides an opportunity for me to recover Taiwan."

"Unexpectedly, they themselves started to fight among themselves. Zheng Jing's eldest son was killed, and his second son was raised when he was young. This trouble will harm the people in the southeast of us again."

When the emperor mentioned Zheng Chenggong, Chen Wen couldn't help being shocked again.

This Zheng Chenggong is a national hero of the Han people...

It's a pity that when the Ming Dynasty royal family sent him to recover Taiwan, the end of the Ming Dynasty was approaching.

Zheng Chenggong regained Taiwan on the front foot, and Xuan Ye had already ascended the throne on the back foot, and changed his country name to Kangxi.

Zheng Chenggong simply nested on the island of Taiwan, claiming to be orthodox in the Ming Dynasty, and refused to surrender.

In the past, there was a small imperial court in Nanming who echoed him, but now Taiwan is alone.

"Xuan Ye, we should take back Taiwan!"

No matter which dynasty he was in, Chen Wenxin's desire for cross-strait reunification is still so strong.

Seeing her serious appearance, the emperor nodded, "That's what I mean too."
