Harem: Biography of Concubine Qin

Chapter 51 The Uninvited Guest

Early the next morning, Bai Lu woke Chen Wenxin up at eight o'clock on time.

She was tired from the canonization ceremony yesterday, and at night when the emperor came to accompany her in Yikun Palace, she somehow fell asleep by herself.

I vaguely remembered that the emperor came over from behind the desk and carried her back to bed to sleep.

When did the emperor wash up and go to bed, she had no memory at all.

Bai Lu waited until she was fully awake, and reported to her about the congratulatory gift she received yesterday.

She presented the red gift list to Chen Wenxin, and said on the sidelines: "I followed the master's instructions, and sent the return gift early in the morning. The congratulatory gift of the concubine's concubine is more grand, and the gift according to the master's intention is thicker than others Three points."

"The Yongshou Palace of Empress Yibin, in addition to returning gifts, they also gave congratulatory gifts. By the way, I went to Yongshou Palace yesterday to get congratulatory gifts from Empress Yibin..."

Bai Lu hesitated to speak, Chen Wenxin glanced at her, "What happened to Yibi's congratulatory gift?"

"The congratulatory gift is not unusual. I just went there yesterday, and the Yongshou Palace is still packing up, and it's in a hurry."

She felt a little weird when she thought of yesterday's situation.

Yi concubine entered the Yongshou Palace and said that she was unwell, so she went into the inner room by herself.Just call Ping'er, the grand lady of Yongshou Palace, and take her to get the gift.

Ping'er led her to the storeroom, where she rummaged through boxes and cabinets for a while.

The untidy warehouse was very dark, and there were no other palace people around.Bai Lu didn't want to step in, so she just waited at the door.

She felt a little uncomfortable.If Concubine Yi didn't send someone to Yikun Palace to deliver the congratulatory gifts, it's fine to let her pick them up.They didn't pack up their things, and even rummaged through boxes and cabinets from the warehouse temporarily.

This is clearly the face of Xia Yikun Palace.

But Ping'er was still calling from inside, "Sister Bailu, come in and help me, it's too dark to see."

The always good-tempered Bai Lu rolled her eyes.

Are the people in Yongshou Palace dead?Want her to have an outsider to help find things?
She just wanted to finish the job quickly, so she listened to Ping'er and went in to help find gifts, and finally found a gift sealed with red silk in a big box.

Ping'er also said: "Sister Bai Lu laughed, it's really a hurry to move to the palace today."

She politely replied: "Where. Our Yikun Palace has just been tidied up."

After taking the things back to Yikun Palace, the more she thought about it, the more something went wrong.

But my master has been tired all day, and the emperor is inside again, so how can I go in and answer.

I didn't reply until the next morning.

Chen Wenxin didn't care too much when she heard it, she knew that Yigui was dissatisfied, maybe she was using an excuse to snub Bai Lu to slap her in the face?

Just let it go, she doesn't mind such a small matter.

If she can make Yigui feel better and not come looking for trouble, she will be Amitabha.

"Yesterday, I smelled a lot of incense candles in Baohua Palace, and I had a headache." She rubbed the position of her temples.

Nanny Li had some kung fu for massaging acupoints, she came up and rubbed Chen Wenxin's temples, and said while rubbing, "Master, do you feel sick?"

Chen Wenxin told her to rub it to make her feel better, so she chatted with her, "It's not disgusting, it's just a headache, and the smell is very strange."

These two nuns are no match for ordinary slaves in the palace, they are also pampered officials' wives in their husband's house.Their husbands were serving under the emperor, and Chen Wenxin treated them more politely.

Nanny Li smiled. She has a gentle temperament and speaks slowly, "Master doesn't usually like to worship the Buddha and chant scriptures, and there are some things that are not used to it."

Bai Lu also said: "Yes. There is a small Buddhist hall in the back hall of Yikun Palace. Master, go and have a look when you have time."

She quickly waved her hands, "That's all, I don't like to chant scriptures."

Everyone only thought that she was a child with a disrespectful disrespect to gods and Buddhas, so they persuaded: "The concubines, big and small, in the palace love to worship Buddha, so the master should do the same."

In this room, except Li Nanny and Deng Nanny who are newcomers, the rest are serving the old.She didn't shy away from it, and said with a smile: "If you want to talk about acting, I think Empress De Concubine is doing it when she recites scriptures."

When she lived in the West Side Hall of the Yonghe Palace, she had heard from the small table that Debi was holding scriptures and counting pearls, and sometimes dozed off.

This word came from Depin's palace maid herself, and the little table took it as a joke to listen to her.

Mother Deng couldn't help laughing when she heard this, "Master, you can't say this outside."

The two of them are direct descendants appointed by the emperor, and they are the coated servants of Zheng Huangqi.Naturally, only the emperor is on the horse's head, and he always considers his concubines and empresses.

The concubine Qin is young, so she might not be able to talk, but she can't be told to offend the concubine De.

Chen Wenxin glanced at her, "Don't treat me as a child, don't you know this bit of propriety."

Several people were talking and laughing when there was a commotion outside.

Aunt Deng met Chen Wenxin's surprised eyes and said, "Slave, go and have a look."

I saw Yipin and Concubine Tong entering the gate of Yikun Palace.

I haven't heard that there is a lady here as a guest today?

Madam Deng noticed that the visitor was not friendly, so she ordered two eunuchs to go up, and she quietly retreated to report to Chen Wenxin.

"Why did you come here without saying hello?" Chen Wenxin was very surprised.

"Master, hurry up and change your clothes."

Bai Lu brought a black silk and gold jacket, she quickly put it on, and ordered to be seated in the main hall to serve tea.

She came late, and turned to the main hall of Yikun Palace, Concubine Tong Gui had already sat at the head.

She instinctively felt a sense of danger, seeing Concubine Tong's serious face and Concubine Yi coming here uninvited with her pregnant belly...

Could it be that because she lived in Yikun Palace by herself, Yipin dragged Concubine Tong Gui to Xingshi to question her?
Concubine Tong raised her eyes to look at her, and saw that she did not apply makeup on her face.There is only a loose bun on the head, and a thin jasper and lotus field hairpin is inserted obliquely on it.

He was wearing a rare black silk and gold jacket, and underneath was only a homely white ink skirt.

Dressed in a homely attire, there is a lot of unfinished luxury in the simplicity.

Just to say that this black silk is precious and rare, if you can get one, you will definitely be able to make a whole body of clothes.

But she only made a half-length jacket and casually matched it with a homely skirt, which shows that this thing is not rare for her.

The hair bun is pulled casually, but the jasper lotus hairpin is not casual.It is a rare item from Xingong in the south, and there are naturally formed lotus leaf patterns in the jasper.

Concubine Tong Gui smiled coldly.

Yesterday she was just promoted to concubine, and the next day, not only did she not dress up to wait for the concubine and the palace servants to come to see her, but she also dressed casually.

Is she lazy in the first place, or is she dressing up like this specially for herself?

"Concubine Qin is sleeping well, it's already high daylight, haven't you finished dressing yet?" Concubine Tong's question was not polite.

She was still very polite, and she didn't know how to answer for a while after hearing this.

It was Mother Deng who stepped forward to relieve her.

"I want to report to the imperial concubine, our master smoked incense yesterday, and this morning he suffered from a headache. The emperor ordered the master to lie in bed and recuperate."

Concubine Tong Guifei saw that it was a nanny, she moved out of the emperor again, and said with a slight smile: "Now that there is a nanny in Yikun Palace, we must discipline the rules of the concubine's palace more."

This is an ugly word, but it still means that Chen Wenxin has no rules.

The angrier she got in her heart, the colder her face became, she did not defend herself.

Concubine Tong didn't see her talking, so she asked, "Which one is Bai Lu next to Concubine Qin?"

Bai Lu, who was named, walked behind Chen Wenxin and bowed down, "Slave Bai Lu kowtows to the imperial concubine."

Tong Guifei scolded angrily: "What a bold slave, even dare to steal Guanyin, the son-giving Guanyin rewarded by my palace!"
