Harem: Biography of Concubine Qin

Chapter 84 Birthday
Chen Wenxin prepared a congratulatory gift for his eldest brother long ago, and sent it together with the emperor's reward.

Although she couldn't go there in person, she still remembered it in her heart.

I don't know what her sister-in-law looks like, whether she is as gentle and virtuous as Zheng said.

Seeing her happy look, Bai Lu said, "When it's the master's birthday, let Mrs. Chen bring the young lady of the Chen family to visit you together?"

That's right, how could she have forgotten that the eldest sister-in-law has a five-rank imperial order.

Chen Wenxin smiled and said, "Look at me, I'm so happy that I forgot."

Her birthday is only ten days away, and the emperor said that it is the year of Jiji, and he will give her a big deal.

When it came to the Flower Festival on the twelfth day of the second lunar month, Bai Lu woke her up early in the morning.

She rubbed her eyes and got up from the couch, Bai Lu rushed Bai Shuang to dress her up quickly.Bai Shuang came up with a new white ivory comb made by the House of Internal Affairs in her hand, and said with a smile: "Master, look at Sister Shuang, this is what the saying goes, the empress is not in a hurry, the maid is in a hurry."

Bai Lu was so angry that she came up and twisted her mouth, "Naughty little hoof, did you arrange me like this in front of the master?"

Bai Lu's biological sister, Ying'er, has been found, and she is still as good to Bai Shuang as ever, which shows that her heart is originally kind.

Chen Wenxin said with a smile: "Even Bai Lu is not dignified today, why are you so happy?"

Bai Lu handed over the towel wrung out of hot water, and wiped Chen Wenxin's hands, caressing every crevice of her fingers.

"What else can it be? Naturally, it's my master's birthday!"

Bai Shuang answered quickly, not to mention Bai Lu was happy, who in Yikun Palace would not be happy?
Bai Lu said: "Master, hurry up and get dressed, all the people in Yikun Palace are kneeling outside, waiting to greet the master."

Chen Wenxin didn't expect that such a small birthday would be worth such a mobilization.

After she finished dressing, Bai Lu went to open the door, and she saw that the small table was kneeling outside the hall with its head on its head.

Outside, a group of little eunuchs and maids, holding various flowers in their hands, knelt on the ground, and bowed down when they saw her come out.

"Congratulations on the master's birthday, blessings are like the East China Sea, and longevity is longer than Nanshan."

The cold winter season is not over, and the spring is cold outside.

Everyone was so caring, and they picked so many spring flowers, Chen Wenxin couldn't help but feel happy watching.

"Get up quickly."

She smiled and ordered to put all these flowers up, and ordered Bai Lu to reward everyone.

Everyone knew how generous their master was, and they all smiled when they heard this reward.

All kinds of spring flowers filled the inside and outside of Yikun Palace, Chen Wenxin walked outside the palace, only to see the lanterns and festoons outside the walls of Yikun Palace.

"It was only taken off during the [-]th Lantern Festival, and now it's put up again."

Chen Wenxin smiled and walked outside while talking.

"Master, these are not lanterns for the Chinese New Year, they are newly made by the emperor."

The small table stepped forward to help her, and said: "Master, look, is it different from the previous one?"

She carefully observed the palace lanterns hanging on the wall, and saw that all of them were bright red, against the golden glazed tiles, they were particularly bright.

"Does it dare to be broken?" She pointed her hand in one place, "Oh, it seems to be hollowed out?"

The small table suppressed a smile when it heard the word broken, "Exactly. When the lights are lit at night, the master will know how beautiful it is."

Seeing the smiling expression on the small table, Chen Wenxin coughed.

Nanny Liu who was behind her dismissed the small table knowingly, "Hurry up and let the ladies know."

The empresses mentioned here refer to Concubine Rong, Concubine De, and Concubine Yi.

The concubines in the palace only had Concubine Tong Guifei's birthday to arrange banquets for other concubines, because she was the most respected.The rest of the concubines can only entertain the palace people in their own palace.

Chen Wenxin now has the power to assist the harem, so her status is naturally higher than that of ordinary concubines.What the emperor meant was that besides Concubine Hui and Concubine Tong, let her entertain other concubines.

Low-ranking concubines should come, Rong concubines, de concubines, and even Yi concubines are comparable to me in terms of status, so it's better to let the little table invite them alone.

Concubine Yi is going to give birth in a couple of months, and she has never had a good impression of Chen Wenxin, so she definitely won't come.
-
It's up to her whether to come or not, if you don't invite, it means that Yikun Palace is being rude.

The same is true for Depin and Rongpin.

Immediately afterwards, the emperor sent Xiao Lizi to present a reward, and the Ministry of Internal Affairs also sent a routine gift.Gifts from Concubine Tong Gui and Concubine Hui also came, Chen Wenxin hurriedly asked Bai Lu to accept the gift in return.

No matter how much Tong Guifei dislikes her in her heart, she will not be wrong about these face-saving things.

Zhang Changzai arrived at Yikun Palace first with Wei Xu. When Chen Wenxin saw Wei Xu, he knew that Concubine Rong would not come.

Wei promised to follow Concubine Rong all along.

The two met Chen Wenxin who was looking at the lamp in the courtyard, and they stepped forward and said, "May the lady be safe, and congratulate the lady on her birthday."

"Exemption."

She helped them up with a smile, Wei promised to avoid her support slightly by turning sideways, while Zhang Changzai got up with peace of mind.

Nanny Liu and Nanny Deng gave them blessings again. Knowing that these two nanny's status were unusual, they returned a half-gift.

Zhang Changzai is her best friend in the palace, Wei Xuying is just superficial, her status is low, she dare not really be supported by Chen Wenxin.

Wei promised to look down at her from the corner of his eyes, and saw that she was wearing a golden luan embroidered palace gown with large sleeves today, resplendent in splendor.

Because it was her day of great joy, her usual indifferent expression now smiled with joy on her brows, she was as beautiful as a fairy concubine.

Zhang Changzai praised: "Your Majesty is so gorgeously dressed today."

Wei promised to see her speak before agreeing, "Your Majesty's body is gorgeous but not coquettish, beautiful but not vulgar, and it matches Your Majesty's elegant temperament."

Chen Wenxin looked at her in surprise, not expecting that Wei promised to be very winking, "Hearing what Wei promised to say, it looks like he came from a scholarly family."

If you want to say who is the most inconspicuous concubine in the harem, Wei probably agrees.The emperor obviously favored her and let her live in the Jingyang Palace where Concubine Rong lived.

For some reason, she didn't give her any points, it was a small promise.

Chen Wenxin hadn't paid attention to this person before, only when she and Zhang Chang were talking about Qifengchai of the Ding family during the last New Year's Eve family banquet, did she get a little impression of her.

She didn't make any trouble with the matter of Qifeng Chai, but at that time she felt that Wei promised to be troublesome and had ulterior motives.

Thinking about it later, how could Wei agree in Ding's eyes, the two of them should have no personal enmity.

The only possibility is that Wei promised to use Ding's family to borrow flowers to present Buddha, to please Zhang Changzai, and then to please himself?

The quarrel between Zhang Changzai and Dingshi in Tsinghua Garden is well known, and Wei promised that it is not surprising that he can please them by pointing out Dingshi's faults.

Wei promised with a bitter smile, "Your Majesty laughed at me. The concubine was originally a sinful minister, and she sent Xin Zheku to serve as a lowly servant. Fortunately, the emperor Long En, who was promoted from an official girl to a promise."

No wonder she was 20 years old, and it was just a promise.It turned out that the promised positions were all promoted.

Wei promised that his background was different from that of all the concubines. The other concubines, no matter how low their mother's family status was, were undeniable young ladies at home, and they were elected into the palace through the emperor's election.

Xinzheku lowly servant?

It's not as tall as the maids serving in the palace.

No wonder Wei promised that he always arched his shoulders and shrugged his back, looking humble and timid.

What Wei promised was so straightforward that Chen Wenxin and Zhang Changzai felt a little embarrassed when they heard it.

How can anyone be so clear about their shortcomings?

Zhang Chang was sloppy, "Now that everyone is in the same palace, why should Wei promise to be so sad about the past?"

Wei promised to smile slightly, and looked up at Chen Wenxin tentatively.

Chen Wenxin looked at Nanny Liu suspiciously, and the latter gave her a wink.

She got it.

Wei promised to come with Zhang Changzai today, because he intended to surrender.

She wanted to pull Zhang Changzai back then because she wanted to divert Concubine Tong's attention.Zhang Changzai is simple in nature and likes food, so the two of them can just chat.

So it's getting closer and closer.

Is she going to pull another guard to agree to her team now?

She doesn't want to form a party.

However, many friends have many paths.Wei promised to take the initiative to show his favor. If she didn't respond, wouldn't she have cut off her way?

Chen Wenxin was holding her hands, one on the left and the other on the right, looking very intimate.

"Let's go inside and talk, it's windy outside."

It seems that Concubine Qin knows what she wants.Wei promised to show a smile on his face, this time she didn't retreat any more, let Chen Wenxin hold her hand.

She has been bored with Concubine Rong in Jingyang Palace for some time. Besides Concubine Rong has a third elder brother, is she empty-handed?
The third elder brother is not as good as the fourth elder brother. The fourth elder brother is more handsome and more loved by the emperor.

Even so, Concubine Rong still looked down on Concubine De, the biological mother of the fourth elder brother.

Wei promised to see that the fourth elder brother and concubine Qin have a close relationship.Debi still has brains on this point, and she is gradually making friends with Qinbi by virtue of her fourth elder brother's relationship.

No one in the palace could tell that the one who got the most sacred heart now was Concubine Qin, and she was also in charge of the harem. Her mother's family was so strong that she couldn't be easily moved.

That is to say, Concubine Tong's head is heavy, so she doesn't have to bow her head to Concubine Qin.Even Concubine Hui treated Concubine Qin kindly.

What is her concubine Rong, still holding on to airs and refusing to get close to concubine Qin?

Wei promised to be dissatisfied with her master for a long time, so she simply bypassed Concubine Rong and went directly to Zhang Changzai.Since Zhang Changzai introduced himself and his concubine Qin, we can take our time to get closer in the future.

The three were seated in the order of the guest of honor, Zhang Changzai asked: "I don't know who else will come to the empress's birthday banquet today?"

Chen Wenxin was about to answer that she didn't know, when she saw the small table coming in from outside.

"Give Chang Zai, Wei promised to greet you."

The little table hit a thousand children, Ding Chang smiled and nodded at him at the two of them, which was regarded as a return of the gift.

"Where are the ladies, what do you say?" Chen Wenxin asked.

"Returning to the master, the concubine Rong said she was not feeling well and could not come to the banquet. The concubine Yi was about to give birth and had difficulty walking, so she also apologized to the concubine. The concubine de concubine said that she would come later and would bring the fourth elder brother with her. Come."

This is similar to what Chen Wenxin expected.

She nodded slightly, "Understood, you go outside to meet my mother."

"Aren't you angry? Yibi's belly is nothing, but Rongbi's empress can't even excuse her illness."

Wei promised to point the finger at Concubine Rong, Chen Wenxin frowned slightly, "Concubine Rong is old, and her status is also noble. For my little birthday, it is enough to have all my sisters here."

Wei promised to be the best at observing words and expressions, and seeing her like this, he thought that he had misjudged her.

This concubine does not seem to be able to seduce the emperor with tricks, but rather a trouble-free person who doesn't like to provoke other concubines.

She has some doubts, is Concubine Qin really saving trouble, or is she just pretending?
