Harem: Biography of Concubine Qin

Chapter 6 Staying in the West Side Hall

Everyone in the room was stunned, as if a movie had been frozen suddenly. Even Li Dequan, who was like a human being, didn't know what to say to make amends.

The emperor didn't speak either, he was always very serious in front of the palace people, he didn't expect to lose his composure like this today.

Or Chen Wenxin was afraid that the two of them would be implicated innocently, so wouldn't he have harmed someone?He laughed first and said:
"What good fortune did the two of them have? For the first time as a concubine to face the emperor, they will get a head of the emperor's dragon saliva." She said coquettishly, pointing to the small table and chair kneeling on the ground and said:

"You guys won't wash your hair for three years from now on."

The emperor also laughed when he was teased by her.He just now felt that he had lost face in front of his servants, and it seemed that it was no big deal when Chen Wenxin said that.

If it were any other concubines, they would probably be silent in embarrassment like these servants.

Then he was even more embarrassed.

However, Chen Wenxin saw the way from the attitudes of the crowd and the emperor. It is really not easy to be an emperor. After all, there was a ridiculous thing that he couldn't even laugh freely.

She suddenly felt that the emperor was a little pitiful.

"These two names are good, very good!" The emperor waved his hand, "Reward!"

Not only the small table and chairs were rewarded, but Bai Lu and the others were also rewarded.

Now the two of them really can't change their names, who would dare to change the names praised by the emperor himself.

Everyone was so happy that they thanked each other again and again, rewarding money and utensils was nothing, what was rare was face.Long live Lord Jinkou Yuyan ordered a reward, how many slaves in the palace have this blessing?

With this reward, no matter where they go in the future, others will not look down on them.

"Your Majesty, this name was given by a servant." Chen Wenxin tapped her nose with her slender fingers, her eyes full of expectation.

Looking at her movements, the emperor felt that she was stunningly beautiful, soft and delicate, which made him intoxicated.

It took him a while to understand what Chen Wenxin's words meant, and he couldn't help but hugged her waist and laughed.

She was the one who gave the name, so naturally she should be the first one to be rewarded.

"Bring in all the rewards from Chen Changzai."

Seeing a row of little eunuchs neatly holding the tray in front of her, the jeweled items on it made her dizzy.

That night, the emperor stayed overnight in the West Side Hall of Yonghe Palace.

In ancient times, there was King You of Zhou who played with the feudal princes, so it was not a big deal for the emperor to stay in this small side hall for the sake of beauties.Li Dequan thought so, leaning on the pillar outside the palace gate and yawning.

The very winking little eunuch hurried over and put a cushion under the pillar.

"Really sensible."

Li Dequan sat down comfortably, leaned against the pillar and looked at the little eunuch, and found that it was one of the eunuchs who took a head full of dragon saliva.

"Little table, slave, please greet Grandpa Li." Without waiting for him to ask, the small table nodded and bowed and announced his family name.

Li Dequan didn't speak anymore, just closed his eyes and fell asleep.

He was going to watch outside all night, and when Yinshi personally called Wansui to get up.

Seeing that he ignored him, the little table still stood respectfully aside, without any impatience on his face.

"Serve well, there are a lot of things. Your master, I am afraid that the Xipei Hall will not be able to pay the tribute."

Since he served the Lord Long Live since he was a child, he has never seen him so happy in front of any wife and concubine that he laughed so much that he spit tea.This is something that never happened before.

It's just that the Chen family is too beautiful. It may not be a good thing for a woman to be too beautiful, but honor and favor are indispensable.Just like the first emperor's filial piety empress, who was crowned in the harem, and was favored alone.But died of illness at a young age.

With this sentence, the small table feels that even standing by the side with a bowed waist all night is worth it.

The emperor stayed overnight, and the wind in the palace picked up the next day.

In Yongshou Palace, Concubine Tong paid homage to the Buddha early in the morning.

She is only one year younger than the emperor, and she is twenty-seven this year.For women, this is the right age for Fengyun, not as young as Chen Wenxin who is 14 years old.

Concubine Tong Guifei looks to be in her 30s, with no charm, only solemnity.

Her eyes are like a pool of stagnant water, calm and unwavering, like a Buddha enshrined on the seat.

She was raised by Tong Jia's family as a queen since she was a child.Her direct aunt is Empress Xiaokangzhang, who is the biological mother of today's Long Live Lord.

Since she was a child, she was taught to be indifferent to emotions, which made her no longer know how to laugh.

Who would have thought that after the death of Queen Hesheli, the emperor would have no plans to establish a queen.No matter how much the former minister persuaded her, how she hinted, the emperor would not let go.

Even if Fang Fengyin was in front of her case at this moment, as the most respected woman in the harem other than the old empress dowager, she had already shouldered all the affairs of the harem.

But without the name of the queen, I am afraid of being talked about in everything I do.She has worked so hard to manage the harem all these years, but she hasn't gotten anything good.

"Miss."

The grandma of Yongshou Palace stood outside the Buddhist hall and gave a soft report.Concubine Tong knew that this was Xin'er from the Yonghe Palace.

She put down the string of dark sandalwood beads in her hand. Under her caress day after day, each bead looked oily, smooth, plump and translucent.

Seeing her put the Buddhist beads, Caiqing, a court lady beside her, stepped forward and walked outside holding her hand.

There was breakfast outside, Concubine Tong's rule was always to get up in the morning, wash and change clothes, and then read sutras for half an hour before eating breakfast.

"What happened to the newly sealed Chen family?"

She picked up a piece of snow-white milk, her voice could not hear the slightest wave, as if it was just a routine.

"Yesterday, the Long Live God gave many rewards, following the example of a nobleman." The eldest nun bowed her head and said truthfully.

"Oh?" She bit down a small mouthful of milk, "It seems that Chen's blessing is still far away."

Since the emperor has rewarded according to the nobleman's rules, I am afraid that Mrs. Chen will at least have a day as a nobleman.

"Last night, Wansui stayed overnight in the Xipei Hall. Xiao Lizi said, Lord Wansui originally ordered not to stay, but I don't know what Chen promised to talk to the emperor, so he changed it."

Keep?Yesterday, the Chen family was also staying at bedside, and the emperor gave Chen the opportunity to give birth to dragon sons so easily.

Concubine Tong Guifei slowly put down the gold-painted tureen before it reached her lips.

The butter tea in the bowl was steaming, and her originally calm face could not be seen clearly in the mist.

"It's such a hot day, why did you pour such hot tea for the master." The grandma glared at Cai Qing who was beside Concubine Tong, and the latter quickly knelt down.

Only then did Concubine Tong come back to her senses.

The emperor has never rested in the side hall of any palace.Those little concubines who are not qualified to live in the main hall are always sent to the Qianqing Palace, and then carried back to their own rooms after serving their bed.

The emperor never casually slept with his concubines until morning, this honor was hard to come by even for such a distinguished concubine like her.

Now when the emperor comes to her place, he just sits and drinks a cup of tea, chats about some major events in the harem, and leaves before late at night.

She was only less than 30 years old, and the emperor didn't want to visit her any more.

Hearing about the stunning beauty of this Chen Shisheng, is it true that the emperor is just like ordinary people who only value women's looks?
She felt a sense of crisis for a moment, a sense of crisis that even the concubine Cheng and the secret concubine had never given her.
