Harem: Biography of Concubine Qin

Chapter 7 Meet the Debi
Chen Wenxin was still lying on the bed, not knowing how many people in the harem were mentioning her name that day.

If she knew...

I will still lie in bed like this.

Even if the sky fell, she couldn't stop her from eating and sleeping.

It was already six o'clock when she woke up, and it was nine o'clock in modern time.Bai Lu and Bai Shuang met each other in Chuxiu Palace, only Bai Xue and Bai Fei were dumbfounded.

The emperor left after four o'clock, and she actually slept until nine o'clock by herself...

Here is another episode that Chen Wenxin didn't know about.

At four o'clock, Li Dequan asked the emperor to get up, and the emperor struggled on the bed for a long time before getting up.

Because there was someone with hands and feet on him.

Chen Wenxin was afraid of the heat, so the iceberg last night did not retreat.At night, I was afraid of the cold, so I couldn't help hugging the emperor to keep warm.

The emperor didn't know about this, he just felt that he was extremely proud, no matter whether her behavior was appropriate or not.

Holding him so tightly while sleeping shows that she loves him from the bottom of her heart.

If Chen Wenxin knew that the emperor was making up his mind like this, he would be ashamed.

Which concubine was lucky enough to sleep with the emperor overnight, didn't she wake up early in the morning to serve her.Only this Chen family is so bold.The emperor was actually very happy.

Li Dequan looked at the triumphant expression of the emperor after struggling, and couldn't believe that this was the Long Live Lord whom he had served since childhood.

Why is it that in front of Mrs. Chen, who is half his junior, it's like a son meeting his mother?
Of course, he would never dare to say this.It was just that Bai Lu and the others, who wanted to go in and serve, were quietly let back.

Your master hasn't gotten up at all, so what else is he serving?
"Master has just finished her bed service, so she is inevitably tired. The emperor has ordered her to sleep more, so don't go out and talk bad things." Bai Lu whispered.

She didn't want Chen Wenxin's unruly words to spread out just as soon as she was favored.

"Naturally. If we don't make a name for the master, who can help us?" Bai Xue is a sensible person, and said seriously:

"I only hope that the master will be well. Only when the master is well can we be well."

Bai Lu couldn't help but take another look at her.

"Master is favored now, but it's hard to keep others' eyes hot." Bai Shuang pointed to the direction of the main hall of Yonghe Palace.

In the morning, someone was sent to inquire about the news.

Bai Lu frowned and glanced at the direction Bai Shuang indicated, "We just need to tell the master what that empress does, and let her decide. We can't offend you. The master lives in this side hall, so it depends on that face." Woolen cloth."

People under the eaves had to bow their heads.They can't offend even the little trash fish sent by Debi.

After all, beating a dog depends on the owner.

"Bai Lu."

Chen Wenxin stretched on the embroidered bed, and called lazily.

"Which dress do you want to wear today, master?"

There are many rewards in these two days, but the clothes are unmade and can only be worn after a while.Chen Wenxin took a glance, and saw that the clothes that Bai Lu had chosen for her hanging on the shelf were the clothes that were rewarded by Concubine Tong and others in Chuxiu Palace.

They were all cheongsams with loose sleeves, she really didn't like them very much.

She is very fond of Hanfu in modern times, especially the aoqun of the Ming Dynasty and the chest-length ruqun of the Tang Dynasty, which are the classical beauty she imagined.

Randomly pointing to a water-red one, she said, "Where's the material you got yesterday?"

"It's all registered in the warehouse. I just want to ask the master, what kind of clothes do you want to make? Then send it to the Shangyi Bureau to make it."

"Is there a craftsman who makes Hanfu in the palace?"

Bai Shuang, who was combing her hair, shook her hands.

All the concubines in the palace, regardless of whether they were Manchu or Han, wore flag dresses.There is no rule saying that Han concubines are not allowed to wear Han costumes, but the number of Han concubines is small, and the second is that the world is full of people, full of Han Zun, and Han concubines also like to dress like Manchus.

So when she first heard that Chen Wen wanted to wear Han clothes, Bai Shuang was very surprised.

"There should be..." Bai Lu replied, "Master, if you want to wear a Han suit, we can make it ourselves if you want to tell us the style."

"You also know how to make clothes?" Chen Wen raised his eyebrows.

She has never had the chance to see the female celebrity craftsmanship of ancient women.

"Not a slave." Bai Lu felt a little embarrassed. Although she could do some needlework, she was not skilled enough to touch the materials given by the imperial court.

"It's Bai Xue and Bai Fei. The servant girl inquired yesterday, and they both came from the Shangyi Bureau."

"Great, call them in quickly." Chen Wenxin was eager to try.

"Master, it's time to pay your respects to Empress Debi today." Bai Lu reminded.

No wonder Bai Shuang combed her hair in such a neat bun today.

The girl Bai Shuang was a little impetuous, she had been pretending to be ill when she was not at bedtime in Chuxiu Palace earlier.Knowing that she had been promoted, she came to congratulate her and ask for credit.Chen Wenxin didn't like her at first, and wanted to find an opportunity to get rid of her.

But this girl's skill in combing her hair and makeup is first-rate, no wonder Bai Lu wants to help her and keep her here.

This girl Bai Lu's scheming should not be underestimated.

"That's right, I should have gone to pay my respects as soon as I came yesterday, but the emperor came early." Bai Shuang drew the eyebrows for her, and the two curved black eyebrows were like a new moon.

"Young master's skin is really good, it's white and tender, powder is redundant." Bai Shuang said: "It's better to just put some rouge on the cheeks."

Facing the mirror, Chen Wenxin tilted his head slightly to the left and right, deeply convinced.

Put on some rouge, even if the face is expressionless, it doesn't look so cold.

"Don't wipe the lip balm for now." She blocked Bai Shuang's hand, rubbed her stomach and said:
"Breakfast first."

Bai Lu, Bai Shuang: "..."

I should have gotten up early in the morning to say hello, not to mention sleeping so late, I should have gone as soon as I finished dressing up, and I still have time for breakfast?

Bai Lu turned her head and suddenly realized.Maybe it's the master who came to inquire about the news when he knew about it, so he wanted to give Debi a blow?

She suddenly felt great admiration for Chen Wenxin, how he pretended to be a pig and eat a tiger.Pretending to be greedy for food and sleep, is actually deliberate neglect.

If Chen Wenxin knew about the little Jiujiu in Bai Lu's belly, she would definitely say, you think too much.

She didn't wake up at all in the morning, so how would she know who came to inquire about what?
She is really hungry.

The breakfast was served with a plate of white noodles, a bowl of shredded pork porridge, a roll of scallion pancakes and a pot of milk tea.

The pastry is similar to rice cakes, made sweet, and Chen Wenxin likes it a lot.The milk tea was something she only had after she was promoted to resident, and it smelled like milk tea. She took a sip, only to realize that it was salty.

It's a dark dish, salty milk tea!

The scallion oil pancakes were crispy, but a bit greasy. Chen Wenxin put it down after eating half of it, and drank the bowl of shredded pork porridge again.

She tasted everything carefully, and Bai Lu stood by and waited on him, feeling anxious.

Master, you should hurry up and eat, it will be lunch in a while!

It is said in the harem that lunch is at noon, and each palace will send people to the dining room to pick up the meal at about twelve o'clock, and it will be around one o'clock when the food is eaten by the masters of each palace.

After breakfast, Chen Wenxin went to the main hall to pay her respects to Concubine De. Seeing the grandeur of the main hall, she realized how small and simple her west side hall was.

She thought that only the emperor's bedroom was so tall and magnificent, but when she saw De Concubine's bedroom, she was not inferior to Qianqing Palace.On the contrary, because the emperor likes simplicity, there are not many decorations in the sleeping hall, which makes the place of De concubine more magnificent.

She was brought to the main hall by the maid, and she pointed to a lower seat to sit down.The maid smiled and said to her:
"Sit in An'an often. Our empress will come soon."

"Thank you, sister." Chen Wenxin also nodded with a smile.

This moment turned out to be a long time, Chen Wenxin took out the pocket watch from his sleeve four times, it was only rewarded by the emperor yesterday.

After a full half an hour, Debi arrived late.

Chen Wenxin got up from his seat, lowered his head slightly and stared at the concubine from the corner of his eye.

She is about twenty years old, with a medium figure, plump and round figure, and looks a little rich.I don't know if it was originally like this, or because the Seventh Princess just gave birth and didn't have time to recover.

"My concubine pays her respects to Empress Debi."

She was blessed, and what fell in her eyes was the hem of Debi's bright green flag dress.

How long has it been since there was no new favorite in the palace?The emperor is diligent, and he doesn't seem to have much interest in the women in the harem.Rao is that there are only four high-ranking concubines in total, and none of them can be favored by the emperor.

At first she thought it was because they were getting older, and the emperor liked delicate flowers.I'm even glad I'm still young.

Later, it was discovered that the emperor was even more ungrateful to those young concubines.She just thought, the emperor simply doesn't like to go to the harem.

Her self-comforting conjecture was broken by the woman in front of her.

Debi looked at her, the palace's new favorite.

She combed her hair in a simple bun, and only wore a white jade hairpin and two fashionable palace flowers.The clothes were nothing special, just ordinary water red palace satin, embroidered with patterns of blossoming roses.

But she has such a beautiful face, no matter how ordinary clothes are, she can't hide her charm.

"Get up and sit down."

Debi finally looked away from her, with a long sigh in his eyes.

Chen Wenxin uttered a string of words that he had thought up before, as if he was endorsing a letter. It was nothing more than words such as those who are newcomers, feel honored, and ask your mother to take care of them.

Debi couldn't listen to what she said at all, but felt that her snow-white skin was too dazzling.

"Chen Chang is now in the royal family, so why should I take care of her?" Concubine De didn't look at her, picked up the teacup and took a sip of tea.

She didn't even serve tea here.

Chen Wenxin laughed secretly.

Just now that Depin had left her alone for so long, she guessed that Depin didn't want to see her anymore.I didn't expect it to be so obvious, I didn't even serve tea, and now my words are stinging.

"The emperor is a sage, and there are so many things to deal with in the previous court. The empress is of high status in the harem, and a concubine is such a humble person, so she naturally depends on her care."

Chen Wenxin made a lot of effort, pointing out the status of superiority and inferiority, not only rounding up the thorns, but also reminding the concubine De to pay attention to her identity.

Hearing this flattering yet profoundly meaningful sentence, Debi couldn't figure it out for a while.Looking at the face she hated, only Chen's face was indifferent.

It's not like a master with ulterior motives.

She lightly touched the rim of the teacup with the lid, and the court lady came up to refill tea for Concubine De with a wink, and took advantage of this moment to serve Chen Wenxin a cup of tea.

"As the seventh princess, I personally made two bellybands. The needlework is rough. If the empress does not dislike it, it is my heart."

Of course, she didn't make this bellyband herself, it was made by Bai Lu and the others rushing to work overnight.

The maid next to Depin held the tray, and Depin glanced at the maid's hand.

The embroidery pattern looks simple at first glance, but upon closer inspection it is actually picking lotus seeds.

Lianzilianzi means that there will be a prince after the princess.Debi's current status in the palace is inseparable from the fact that she gave birth to a prince and a princess.

Her offspring are her greatest reliance, even like the fourth elder brother who was sent to be raised by Concubine Tong at birth.

Only then did Debi show a little smile on his face, and said a scene:
"Since you are in my palace, just go back and forth if you have anything to do. You don't have to come to pay your respects at ordinary times. I don't like being disturbed by others when I worship Buddha in this palace."

"Yes."

Chen Wenxin had no choice but to use it to pay his respects, and after hearing this, he quickly agreed.

Debi rolled her eyes.

She is not pious in worshiping the Buddha, most women in the harem worship the Buddha, she is just following the crowd.That's all, I just don't want to see Chen's face every day.
