Harem: Biography of Concubine Qin

Chapter 89 Yongqing County

The emperor smiled and said: "From the first time I saw you, I felt that you were different from others. You are not those flowers that grow in the inner courtyard of the deep palace. You are beautiful and lose your true colors. What kind of flowers are you talking about at home?" If it is worthy of you, it must be an untrimmed white plum."

Naturally, without any affectation.

"My husband is absurd, I am ashamed to be a concubine."

She picked up the accent and said a sentence like singing a song.

The emperor was amused by her, and said: "Although the flowers are beautiful, it's a pity that if you pick them off, you won't be able to live. After a while, they will wither."

"Not seen."

She pulled out a book from behind the emperor, and the emperor didn't know what she was going to do, so he hurriedly said, "That's the only copy from the Song Dynasty."

Orphan copy?Sounds like a lot of money.

She put down that one and took another one, "What about this one?"

"This is my pillow book."

Isn't the emperor's bedside book "Zi Zhi Tong Jian"?

How many times has the emperor read this book, and he still wants to bring it out for a private interview?

Is this just like some people have a bed fetish, and they have to bring their own pillows to sleep when they go out.

She curled her lips, "The cover of this book is very hard, I borrow it to press it."

I saw her put a branch of Shandan under the book cover and spread out the petals.I rubbed the petals with my fingers several times to keep those tiny petals in their best shape.

Then she carefully closed the book cover.

"Okay. After a while, the flower will not wither when it dries up."

Chen Wenxin put "Zi Zhi Tong Jian" back into the emperor's stack of books, and let the other books be pressed again, and the petals dehydrated faster.

She fiddled with the bunch of flowers in her hands for a while, then looked out through the small gap in the car curtain.

"Hey, why is the second brother not here? Is it at the husband's side?"

Didn't Chen Wenyi have been by her side just now, where is he now?
"Don't you think he blocks your sight, why do you think he's not on your side now?"

"Oh."

Chen Wenxin pulled off an extra leaf, "I want to ask him to pick some dogtail grass."

……

She was very interested at first, always looking out of the car.

Later, when the emperor started to close her eyes and rest her mind, she was also tired, so she simply leaned on the wall of the carriage, imitating the emperor's closed eyes and resting her mind.

Closed and closed, she became sleepy, and her body slowly slid down as the carriage swayed, and finally fell onto the carpet at the bottom of the carriage.

thump--
The emperor was wandering, startled by this sound.

Opening his eyes, it turned out that Chen Wenxin fell to the ground, and his head collided with the wall of the carriage.

Hit your head, still awake?

The emperor looked at her complexion hesitantly, seeing the faint reflection of her mouth, he was relieved.

He fell asleep until he was slobbering, it seems that he didn't fainted, but fell asleep.

When Chen Wenxin woke up by herself, the emperor was already sitting on the low table drinking tea and reading a book.

The official road was flat, and the carriage was carefully prepared for the emperor, so it didn't shake very much.A set of simple white porcelain tea sets were placed on the low table, and one of the small cups contained the tea that the emperor took a sip of.

The tea in the cup trembled slightly, rising and falling with the shaking of the carriage.

It just doesn't splash out.

Chen Wenxin stared at it for a while, and found that the tea did not splash out, and was a little disappointed.

How much she wanted to see the emperor being splashed with the tea she poured...

The emperor saw her staring straight at the tea when she woke up, thinking she was thirsty.

"Have a cup of tea first."

The emperor handed her the half cup of tea he had taken a sip of, "Let it sit for a while, it doesn't burn your mouth anymore."

Chen Wenxin really felt dry in his mouth, so he took the small white porcelain cup.Just as I was about to drink it, the carriage stopped suddenly.

She leaned forward a little--
The tea splashed wet her skirt.

"I told my husband a long time ago, why do you drink Kung Fu tea in the carriage. It's fine to make tea with a pitcher."

A small teacup is so prone to accidents, no, a lot of her skirt was wet.

The emperor looked innocent, "I have never been splashed with tea..."

It's because you don't know how to drink it yourself, so you still care about how I drink tea?

Chen Wenyi's voice came from outside, "Master, the boundary marker of Yongqing County is here, and the boundary of Yongqing County is coming soon."

Along the way, from the sparsely populated suburbs of Beijing to the deserted official road, and now finally arrived at the boundary of Yongqing County.

This shows that there will be more people in front, and they should pay more attention to what they do and what they say.

Yongqing County belongs to the scope of Zhili and is a close neighbor of the capital.The place here is not big, but the location is very important, it belongs to the traffic fortress.

In the evening, they arrived at the city gate of Yongqing County, and they were escorted by local staff.

They were going to stay at Nange Post in Yongqing County that night, which was next to the county government office.

The emperor's incognito tour did not notify the local officials along the road, and only some post stations knew the news, which was convenient for the placement of manpower and the emperor's accommodation.

The post stations are under the command of the Ministry of War, and the station masters of various post stations are basically at the same level as the local magistrates, so that the information transmitted by the post stations will not be interfered by local forces.

If officials from all over the world know about the private visit of the emperor's micro-service, then the meaning of the private visit will be lost.

The carriage drove directly into the post, and the staff in the post were respectful and greeted them on their knees, presumably they all knew the identity of the person in the carriage.

When the underground guards saw the driver for the first time, they were all very nervous.

They lowered their heads, and out of the corner of their eyes, they saw the door of the emperor's carriage opened, revealing a rosy skirt.

Li Dequan stood beside the carriage, bowed and stretched out his hands to support him.A white and snowy white hand reached out, and then walked down a beautiful woman who looked like a fairy...

For a moment, the guards who peeked were stunned.

As soon as the fairy daughter raised her arm, it seemed that she was about to fly away in the wind, and then she slowly put her hand down.

Chen Wenxin got off the carriage and saw the guards kneeling on the ground, thinking that he should not lose his composure.I wanted to stretch, but halfway through the movement, I let it go again.

A yawn was like a powerful force, about to burst out of her body, but it was interrupted halfway.

So angry.

The emperor then got out of the car and frowned when he saw the dull faces of all the people on the ground.

With this frown, Li Dequan regained his energy as if he had been injected with chicken blood.

"How does station officer Zhao discipline his subordinates? Why is the imperial court so disrespectful?"

If you dare to peek at the emperor's concubines in front of the emperor, it's nothing more than just looking at them, and you're dumbfounded.

The emperor wanted to pretend that he didn't see it.

The station officer in charge of Mingge Station is called Zhao Tianyi, who is a seventh-rank official, and looks quite young.

Yongqing is a small county town. Since Ming Ge Yi took over, he hasn't even visited a prince or elder brother. Now that the emperor is here, he is trembling.

The servants under his command had never seen anything in the world, seeing Chen Wenxin was dumbfounded, and Zhao Tianyi was also anxious.

The emperor's concubine is one in a million, can't she be beautiful?

Not to mention these servants, even Zhao Tianyi almost couldn't recover himself.

"Your Majesty, forgive me. Please forgive the servants for not being able to see the sky. They were so happy that they were in a trance for a while."

As Zhao Tianyi said, he kowtowed to the ground, and the guards kneeling behind him hurriedly followed him and kowtowed, their eyes buried in the soil, and they didn't dare to look around.

The emperor saw Chen Wenxin's tired face, after running around for a day, she might not be able to take it anymore.

"I think it's my first offence, so let's forgive it. I've been exhausted all the way, so I'll lead my concubine to rest first."

The emperor stood with his hands behind his back, his voice was tireless.

After sitting in the carriage for a whole day, why is the emperor so energetic?
"Yes, Your Majesty, please come with your ministers, and the poor wife, Mrs. Qian, will lead the empress to rest in the inner courtyard."

The woman kneeling beside Zhao Tianyi wore the silver hairpin of Hehe Erxian on her head, and once again blessed her body, she bowed her head humbly to lead the way, "My lady, please."

Chen Wenxin wanted to lie down on the bed for a long time to relax her muscles and bones, Bai Lu and Baishuang stepped forward to help her, and followed that Qian to the backyard.

Before the carriage drove into the post station, Chen Wenxin quietly watched the scene on the street.Compared with the prosperity of the capital, Yongqing County is obviously a rural place.

The houses are low, the people's clothes are coarse and plain, and there are few shops on the street.

Ordinary common people probably wear such clothes, but there are too many rich and noble people on the streets of the capital.

Post stations were originally used to transmit information from various places, such as military newspapers, memorials from local officials, or secret letters from the emperor.

The other is to send urgent items, such as sending Lingnan lychees to Yang Guifei in the Tang Dynasty, which is said to have exhausted many horses in various post stations.

The concubine riding Hongchen smiled, but no one knew that it was Lychee who was talking about this allusion.

The main function of the post station is not to accommodate people. Sometimes officials need to stay at the post station on the way when they are on a business trip or transferred.

Naturally, it cannot be compared with the imperial palace, but it is much better than Chen Wenxin imagined.

Arriving at Chen Wenxin's inner courtyard, the small courtyard is rare because it is independent and surrounded by courtyard walls.

The decoration inside the house is simple, and all the quilts and quilts are brand new. Seeing a good blue and white porcelain tea set on the table, Chen Wenxin nodded in satisfaction.

Qian Shifu said: "Reporting to Madam, all the idlers in the courtyard have been cleaned up, leaving only a few rough women to sweep the floor and do laundry. I don't know if Madam has any needs or dissatisfaction. Tell my husband to do it for your mother.”

Among the wives of officials, those who have orders call themselves ministers' wives, while those who do not have orders are regarded as ordinary people and only call themselves civilian wives.

Chen Wenxin just wanted to rest at the moment, as long as the house was clean, she didn't have any requirements for the furnishings.

It's only for one night, so why bother to ask others to make some decorations that I can't see at all?

"That's all right, Mrs. Lau."

Chen Wenxin nodded slightly, and Bai Lu stepped forward to give Qian Shi a purse, "Your Majesty rewards Madam."

The purse is made of inner fabric with exquisite embroidery.In the hand, the weight is not light.

Mrs. Qian could see Chen Wenxin's tired face, and she was blessed, "The woman thanked the lady for the reward. If the lady has something to do, she will ask the girl to pass it on to the woman."

The second half of the sentence was addressed to Bai Lu. Bai Lu nodded, and Qian Shi resigned tactfully.
