Harem: Biography of Concubine Qin

Chapter 55
If there is anyone in this palace who hinders Concubine Tong's eyes more than Chen Wenxin, it is definitely Ding Chang who dangles under Concubine Tong's eyes every day.

This must be relying on the identity of the family's imperial merchant, wearing red and green, showing off all day long.

She is not favored and has no status, so she has some money, what is there to show off in the palace?
Last time on Concubine Tong's birthday, Ding Chang dared to run into Concubine Tong in rose red, Concubine Tong was already very dissatisfied.

The emperor punished her to ground her feet, this Ding family was not enough, she dared to compete with Zhang Changzai in the garden.

Concubine Tong is always there, but she always pretends to be weak. Concubine Tong is afraid that people will say that she is intolerant, so she doesn't care too much.

Besides, Dingchang lives in her Chengqian Palace, so she is hers.Wouldn't she be making fun of Concubine Rong, Concubine De, and the others if she was fighting in a nest here?

Chen Wenxin did not forget Ding Changzai's sentence "Concubine Tong Gui is not a queen", nor did she forget that Zhang Changzai was so angry at Ding's words.

Zhang Changzai hasn't let out his anger, maybe it's uncomfortable to hold it in his heart, right?

She asked Bai Shuang to personally send a post and invite Chang Zai to Yikun Palace for a talk.

Zhang Changzai knew about Concubine Tong's embarrassment in Yikun Palace a few days ago.She sensitively sensed that the wind direction in the palace had changed, and Concubine Tong Gui was no longer the only noble lord.

The emperor did not formally inform the Sixth Palace, and let the Qin concubine manage the harem on behalf of the empress.But the news about Feng Yin in Yikun Palace has already spread throughout the palace.

It is said that the ministers of the former court got the news and tested the emperor openly and secretly.

Previously, when the emperor leapfrogged the ranks and promoted to concubine Qin, many princes and ministers headed by Tong Jia were willing to oppose it.

No queen can dissuade the emperor on behalf of the officials, and the only concubine, Tong Jia, was also deprived of power.The empress dowager has ignored political affairs for a long time, and they couldn't invite this one out of the mountain.

Only Tong Guowei has a high position and authority, and has the courage to give the emperor a break.

The emperor didn't hear any response, and Tong Guowei didn't dare to raise any objections.

He doesn't dare to offend the emperor now, lest his daughter Tong Guifei be in the palace, life will be even more difficult!
There is no queen in the palace. Concubine Tong Guifei has been in charge of the harem for many years. Once she was seized power, the emperor has not appointed someone to manage the harem for a long time.

Such a huge harem, how can there be no one to manage it?
Even if there is no one to manage it, it can't be that little Han girl, Pian Ziqin!

The princes and ministers are ready to move again, and this time even Tong Guowei is out of the picture.

The emperor didn't say anything about Feng Yin, they, the former ministers, took the initiative to bring up Concubine Qin, what if the Emperor got angry and really announced that Concubine Qin was in charge of the harem?
Tong Guowei is not stupid, he knows that the emperor's temperament is to be soft rather than hard, and he will never obediently obey the opinions of courtiers.

Instead, he would think that the unanimity of the courtiers was persecuting him and challenging his imperial power!

So it went smoothly for Chen Wenxin to be concubine Qin, and the Chen family felt at ease.

Ever since Concubine Yi moved out of the East Side Hall of Chengqian Palace, Zhang Changzai lived alone.Zhang Changzai is happy and at ease, she has long been dissatisfied with Yipin ruling her everywhere, which is more lenient than Tong Guifei.

Seeing that Concubine Qin personally sent the Grand Palace Maid Bai Shuang, she was overjoyed.
-
She has a certain liking for Chen Wenxin herself, and Chen Wenxin and Yi Bin have torn their faces, so of course she is on Chen Wenxin's side.

Standing secretly, you can't let Concubine Tong know.

"Miss Baishuang go back and tell Concubine Qin that I will definitely visit you on time."

This is exactly what Zhang Changza said, and Bai Shuang repeated it to Chen Wenxin verbatim.

A few days ago, the incident of sending off Guanyin, the emperor reminded her to search the inside and outside of Yikun Palace.She mobilized almost all the palace people in the palace to search, and finally dug out something under the palace wall in the north corner of the backyard, which was the Guanyin Guanyin.

According to Li Dequan, this Avalokitesvara was buried by Pin Yi herself during the renovation of Yikun Palace.

At that time, she was probably not trying to frame Chen Wenxin, but praying for herself.Unexpectedly, the emperor gave Chen Wenxin the Yikun Palace, she was extremely jealous, and simply used this Guanyin trick to frame her.

She had lingering fears, and Bai Lu was also afraid for a while.

Chen Wenxin told her to avoid the sharp edge and stay out of Yikun Palace in the near future.All the errands that should be done by Bai Lu are handed over to Bai Shuang.

In the afternoon of this day, Zhang Changzai quietly entered Yikun Palace with only two personal maids.

When Zhang Changzai saw her, he first saluted and congratulated her on being promoted to concubine.He apologized to her again, "Dingchang was agitated last time in the garden, but concubines did not mean to insult Han concubines."

Everything she said was true, and it was unseemly for He Dingchang to make a scene in the garden, and she regretted it after thinking about it.

He also thought that after hearing such words, Chen Wenxin wondered if he would be paranoid and become malicious towards her.

Chen Wenxin smiled and comforted her: "Sister Zhang, why bother, I already knew what you meant."

Zhang Changzai was flattered by Zhang Changzai's elder sister.

The concubines in the palace have always been called sisters, unless there is a history of hostility, or the disparity in status is too great.

For example, they wouldn't call Concubine Tong Guifei, Sister Tong, because they didn't deserve it.Concubine Yi wouldn't call Ding Chang Zai Ding sister either, because the relationship between the two of them is not good.

Everyone knows that Chen Wenxin is a maverick, she doesn't like to be called concubine sister and sister, she seems to reject others thousands of miles away.

Now that she has been promoted to the rank of concubine, she still calls Zhang Chang her sister, which is really abnormal.

Chen Wenxin asked Bai Lu to bring the newly made pastries, and asked Zhang Changzai to taste them.Talking about the cheese they ate in the small kitchen of the Yonghe Palace, it was still summer.

Zhang Changzai is a bit thicker, but she just can't control her delicious mouth.Eating in the garden was quite enjoyable, and once I returned to the palace, I could only eat those few regular dishes.

Seeing that the dim sum here in Yikun Palace is exquisite, she just said a few words politely, and picked up a piece of butter pineapple jelly.

Putting it in front of his eyes and taking a closer look, Zhang Changzai couldn't help boasting: "How do you think about this dessert, it's so beautiful."

This creamy pineapple jelly is a translucent yellow color, not unlike modern jelly.The entrance is the sweet and sour taste of pineapple, and the taste is smooth and tender, softer than jelly.

Chen Wenxin explained: "This creamy pineapple jelly is a food in Guangdong. The emperor recovered San Francisco, and this thing spread to the palace."

Zhang Changzai said enviously: "This is the first time a concubine has eaten it."

"This product also has the effect of whitening the skin and slimming the body. If sister Zhang likes it, she can pack it into a box and take it home."

After hearing this, Zhang Changzai beamed with joy and thanked him repeatedly.

Chen Wenxin kept secret and said: "There is nothing to thank for this idea. My sister wants to thank me, but it's not about this."

Zhang Changzai was stunned, not knowing what Chen Wenxin was talking about.

"I heard that Dingchang is begging the emperor to move to the West Side Hall of Chengqian Palace, and the emperor seems willing to agree."

Zhang Changzai had never heard of this news, so he was very surprised at first hearing it.

Ding's little hoof also knew that Tong Guifei didn't want to see her, so he went to beg the emperor.

The fourth prince is now living in the residence of the elder brother, and the West Side Hall of Chengqian Palace is now vacant.The Ding family wanted to monopolize the West Side Hall, but the West Side Hall is better decorated than the East Side Hall!
It seems that Dingshi intends to suppress her.

Zhang Changzai was so angry that he wrung his handkerchief, and said, "Dingshi is such a charming little girl, how can she deserve it!"

Zhang Changzai is an honest and responsible person. If others don't provoke her, she will never take the initiative to provoke others.

Now Ding often sees her as a bully, and she doesn't know how to fight back when he presses on her head.

She hurriedly asked Chen Wenxin, "Your Majesty, do you want to help my concubine fix this little hoof?"

Chen Wenxin waved to her, motioning her to put her ear close.

An unknown conspiracy was formed between the two of you and me.
