37 years old, I became a harem concubine

As soon as she entered the yard, the nanny Wu could no longer hold back and said: "Every three years there is a talent show, and there are countless girls who go in. They are not as crazy as her!"

The nanny's voice was so rare that both Shen Huan and Qingzi were taken aback.

Shen Huan lifted the hem of her skirt and stepped over the threshold: "Let her go, it's not me who gave birth, so I'm not angry."

"Ma'am!" The nanny was about to die of anger. That heartless white-eyed wolf, who grew up with his wife, ate, drank, and dressed well, once he gained power, he didn't pay attention to his wife, only Aunt Luo. The mother helped her up without looking at her wife.

The nanny said angrily: "If it weren't for being fostered under my wife's knees, she wouldn't even be able to reach the selection threshold due to her background!"

After entering the room, Shen Huan held the round fan and fanned it slowly: "There's no need to be angry with a 17-year-old girl. After entering the palace, I won't see you for the rest of my life, and the anger is also with myself."

"What if she didn't enter the palace and gave elder brother Belle a Fujin? There are still many days to see her!"

"..." Shen Huan did not expect this.

The selected girls can't all be regarded as the emperor's women. He is asked to choose the one he likes, and the rest of the selected girls will be given to the prince and elder brother as the side Fujin. Chen Miaoyi and Chen Tingfang may be the second type.

The nanny wrinkled her face, she didn't want Chen Miaoyi to be next to her.

After entering the palace, Aunt Luo can't be treated badly in the mansion, maybe she will become a demon.

If he didn't enter the palace, he became Prince Baylor's Fujin, his wife, an official wife, had to grovel when she saw her, no matter how I thought about it, I hated it.

The master and servant didn't know, and the palace was also talking about it.

Earlier, the queen mother said that she would select Fujin and Chuanfujin for the King of Xiangjun. As soon as the selection was over, the list of the best girls was presented to her.

Looking at the names on the list, Yu Wenyao lost his mind: "Emiang... I don't want to marry Fujin..."

"I said it well a few days ago, how long did it take to regret it?"

The Empress Dowager knew him well, and seeing that he was guessing that he had a favorite in his heart, the list was released: "Tell Er Niang, which lady do you like?"

Yu Wenyi looked at the queen mother, but did not speak.

The Empress Dowager said slowly: "The young lady from Jueluo's family, a scholar of the Diange University, is about the same age as you, and you have seen her before, why don't you point her out to you as a Fujin."

"Er Niang," Yu Wenyi grabbed the Queen Mother's hand, "I don't want her, she's dark and ugly."

The queen mother gave him a white look, she felt that she had only seen that beautiful girl from the Luo family, she was so dark, but it was just that Qi women were not raised in boudoirs like Han women.

She pointed to another one on the list: "The daughter of Fucha's family, governor of Liangjiang, the Fucha family."

She immediately caught sight of this beautiful girl in the hall, with her small face and waist, she was a real beauty.

Moreover, Fucha's father holds a lot of power, so if anything happens in the future, he will be a great help.

The empress, who was called by the empress dowager as an adviser, also agreed: "On the day of the draft, the concubines also met the Fucha family. They are beautiful, elegant and gentle, and they are just right for us."

"Emperor's Sister-in-Law, why don't you persuade E Niang with me, why are you still booing with me?"

"Ben Gong, like Er Niang, wants to see Yi Shi get married and start a career."

Yu Wenyi was besieged by the empress dowager from left to right, with stars popping out of his head.

He couldn't find a chance to see Shen Huan these days, he couldn't eat and play, and he couldn't sleep. He just felt that his life was meaningless, and he couldn't even get the woman he liked.

Now, after listening to the empress dowager's words about Fucha's family and another Fucha's family, she sat down on the chair angrily: "Then Fucha's family is so good, why don't you ask the emperor to ask for it? What are you pushing me for!"

"Yaoshi!" The queen mother was so angry that she almost fell on her back, "Let's talk about you again, why are you talking about your brother, that Fucha family is such a good child, how can I do it for you as a Fujin, if you continue to mess around, you will kill the Jueluo family. Give you to be Fujin."

The queen naturally followed suit, and she didn't want Mrs. Fucha to enter the palace as a concubine.

An exceptionally beautiful woman with a prominent family background, it is difficult for the emperor not to favor her.

After persuasion and persuasion, Yu Wenyao nodded reluctantly, "Let's go to Mrs. Fucha, my son has something to do, so I'll take my leave first." After speaking, she ran out in a hurry, the queen mother wanted to say a few more words to him Nothing was said.

"This child is still so frizzy no matter how old he is. Don't let Aijia worry."

"It's good for Yishi to be like this. If she is like the emperor, where can Erniang find such a considerate little padded jacket?"

"The emperor is as good as the emperor, and the time is as good as the time. The emperor, since he was a child, he has never let the Ai family have a little bit of trouble, and he has grown up without seeing him a few times."

"It doesn't look like Yishi, who does something every now and then to make Ai's family headache, what a ghost."

The queen smiled slightly and didn't interrupt. She married Yu Wenyue at the age of 14. After spending more than ten years with this former imperial concubine and now the empress dowager, she had already figured out something.

Although the emperor and the king of Xiangjun are brothers, they are different here with the queen mother.

One is the son of his own humble status, who fought so hard to survive and was adopted by the deceased Empress Dowager Yiren, who he could not see two or three times a year, and the other is the doting old man who was given to the late emperor when he was in glory.

If it weren't for the king of Xiangjun who was still a baby when the first emperor passed away, I don't know how many moths there would be.

The queen mother pointed out one of the show girls to be a side Fujin for the King of Xiangjun. The rest, Borjijit Sanglan from the Horqin tribe, Niu Hulu from the Qijun Banner, and Chen Miaoyi from the Hanjun Banner were named nobles, and the rest The next one sealed Chang Zai's promise, and a total of 49 young beautiful women entered the palace.

As soon as the title is granted, there will be work to be done at the Ministry of Internal Affairs, cleaning the place, putting things away, and being very busy.

The Chen family also soon knew that Chen Miaoyi had to be a nobleman, and Chen Tingfang agreed.

Shen Huan sat next to Chen Fangyue, and next to her sat Chen Miaoyi and Aunt Luo, Chen Erye and Yan Shi, and Chen Tingfang who were full of spring.

Below that are the three masters and three grandmothers of the Chen family who came early, and even the daughters and granddaughters who were married on weekdays came, filling the lobby to the brim, and it was almost impossible to get in.

Chen Fangyue's eyes swept across the faces of everyone in the lobby, "Miaoyi deserves to be named a nobleman, and Tingfangfeng agreed, it's a great gift from heaven. My Chen family should be grateful, and I can't rely on this to be arrogant and arrogant. It was what it was before, and it will be what it will be in the future. I heard that someone caused trouble in the name of this, and he must be punished severely!"

"Yes."

Some of the tails were raised, and they were instantly hit by this blow, shrinking their necks.

Chen Fangyue turned to Chen Miaoyi and Chen Tingfang and continued: "I'm quite strict with you on weekdays, but that's because I hope you can understand these truths in the future and avoid detours."

"When you enter the palace, you are members of the Tian family. Your honor and disgrace in the palace is also related to the honor and disgrace of the Chen family. I don't ask you to climb higher and higher, as long as you don't do anything that hurts the Chen family."

From a poor family to a first-rank official today, Chen Fangyue's talent and heart can be seen.

He originally thought that Chen Miaoyi and the other three would not be selected. The emperor was too suspicious, and he had an arbitrary temperament that would never allow his power to fall into the hands of others. He would never let the daughter of a first-rank official like him enter the palace.

But he guessed the emperor's mind wrongly. Of the three young girls, only Chen Huiru was not selected, and Chen Miaoyi was also named a nobleman.

You know, there are only three nobles in this draft, Qi Junqi, Mengjunqi, Hanjunqi, why does Chen Fangyue share this honor with Mengjunqi, Qijunqi?

The backyard of Chen's mansion should be in charge of Shen Huan and his eldest daughter-in-law, Jia Shi. Chen Miaoyi and Chen Tingfang entered the palace, so the mansion naturally had to pay a sum of money.

After Chen Fangyue took the male guests to the front hall, Jia Shi said: "Miao Yi Ting Fang enters the palace, we have to prepare some things for them to walk around with, I don't know what Madam's plan is?"

All the eyes of the room were on Chen Miaoyi, the Chen family was poor, and the most promising of the three generations of ancestors was Chen Fangyue. Now that Chen Miaoyi has become a noble person, everyone is very envious.

Furthermore, if Chen Miaoyi can really give birth to a prince, it will really make the Chen family change their family and gain a firm foothold.

Shen Huan pretended not to be aware of the envy that was almost condensed in the eyes of the people, and said: "Master is an upright official, and all the civil and military officials in the court see it in his eyes, so there is really no need to empty the foundation to save face."

"Grandpa will give 2000 taels of silver to each of you, and you will have eight more sets of clothes and four sets of hats. What do you think?"

No matter how poor the family background of the Chen family is, it is still a first-rank official. Every year, the output of the shop and Zhuangzi is put together, and the daily expenses are taken from Gongzhong.

It is up to the juniors to earn more and less, and they can spend the money in their own hands as they want.

Jia Shi followed Shen Huan to take care of the backyard, knowing that two thousand miles was a lot, and the eight sets of clothes and four sets of hair and facial masks in the back were converted into 4000 taels, so she couldn't help nodding secretly in her heart.

The third grandmother, Lu Shi, has been learning housekeeping from her mother since she was a child, and after thinking about it, she also thinks that Shen Huan's statement is good.

The second grandmother, Yan Shi, also trembled because of her daughter's agreement, and counted with her fingers: "My wife can't do things more safely."

Anyway, her daughter is treated like a nobleman, so she has nothing to dissatisfy.

Shen Huan asked Aunt Luo again: "How do you feel?"

Aunt Luo shook her shoulders, grabbed the handkerchief and stood up: "Enough is enough, Miss has food and clothes in the palace, how could she spend so much money?"

"Auntie!" Chen Miaoyi dragged her onto the stool resentfully, and immediately choked Yan Shi, "Tingfang is the one who promised, and I don't blame the third sister-in-law for not knowing the situation in the palace. I can't be like everyone else Looking at the little money from the Ministry of Internal Affairs to live on every month."

The eldest wife frowned, the second wife, Yan Shi, was stabbed so hard that she wanted to jump, but under the signal of Shen Huan's gaze, she held it back bitterly, and the third wife hung herself up high as none of her business.

Anyway, this Chen family is inherited by the eldest family, and it is not their third family's turn, so she will not be involved in this muddy water.

Sitting upright, Shen Huan looked at the nobleman Chen Miaoyi who suppressed everyone's arrogance, "Only when there is a discussion and a quantity can be done. Since Miaoyi thinks that I can't count, then tell me what you think, let's talk about it." Add it up."

"According to my wife's instructions, there are eight sets of clothes in total. If the head and face are a little less, two more sets will be added."

Chen Miaoyi calmed down, "As for the silver, I have to manage it up and down in the palace. I can't hear 2000 taels thrown in, and 8000 taels will be enough."

"8000 taels!" Jia laughed angrily, "Sister-in-law has never been in charge of the house, so she doesn't know how difficult it is to run a house. Ask the old lady and sister-in-law, can the public give so much money?"

"I know that Gongzhong won't be able to get it out for a while," Chen Miaoyi looked at Shen Huan, "The several silver shops under my mother's name are in good locations, and it's enough to sell two."

Shen Huan sat upright: "According to what Miaoyi said, 8000 taels of silver plus eight sets of clothes and six sets of headgear can be purchased for about 4000 taels."

"Mr. Jia, how much can the public give?"

Jia Shi doesn't like Chen Miaoyi, who speaks loudly like a lion, but Chen Miaoyi is not so angry when she says that the big head wants Shen Huan to sell the shop: "Ma'am, more than a hundred people in the mansion point to the Gongzhong to eat and drink. What kind of silver is there, this year Zhuangzi’s output is not good, and there are only 6000 taels if they are all emptied.”

At this time, Mrs. Jia felt a little resentful towards the old lady, who would believe what she said, and a dignified first-rank official only had such a small amount of family wealth.

After Shen Huan heard her words, she turned her head and said to Chen Miaoyi: "You have been raised under my knees for many years, and I will not be reluctant to part with tens of thousands of silver, but you are not only in our mansion, Tingfang is also going to enter the palace, you two I don't want to favor one over the other, Huiru will start to look at others after this year, if you don't treat your sister's bowl of water, it will inevitably lead to suspicion."

"Although the location of the shop is good, if you are eager to sell it, the price will be lowered," Shen Huan continued, "I will discuss this matter with the master in detail, and listen to what the master has to say. You don't have any opinions, do you?"

The three daughters-in-law naturally had no objections. Chen Miaoyi was full of displeasure, but she was firmly held back by her aunt, and finally stomped her feet and left aggressively.

The nanny had long been angry at Chen Miaoyi's lack of manners, and as soon as they left, she said, "Seventh Miss has such a big face, she opened her mouth to ask the wife to put her dowry in the shop, if the wife hadn't raised her, how could she be as beautiful as she was born by an aunt! "

"Will she be well educated after this kind of upbringing? I'm afraid I'll die of starvation in front of her door without waiting for her to drink a sip of water!"

"I've already raised her. The matter of entering the palace is a certainty. It's useless to say more."

Shen Huan has little affection for the children in the family. With Chen Miaoyi under her knees, she will be more diligent in rewarding things during the New Year, and send someone to greet her when she is free, but she is not angry with her arrogant and domineering attitude now.

But it doesn't mean that she just let Chen Miaoyi round and flatten her. The shop Yinlou Zhuangzi in his hands was all run by his parents when they got married. Don't talk about one Chen Miaoyi, even a hundred Chen Miaoyi don't want to get involved.

The sky was about to be stained with lead ash, so Chen Fangyue arrived at Minghui Hall, looked around but didn't find Shen Huan, and asked the serving maid: "Where's your wife?"

The servant girl replied: "My wife said she was a little tired after eating, so let's rest first."

Chen Fangyue raised his hand to let her go out, and walked into the inner room alone, just as he walked around the screen, a seemingly cold fragrance lingered at the end of his nose.

Looking again, I saw a thin-necked beauty porcelain vase on the left and right sides of the case table, with begonias in full bloom in the vase, and a lotus-shaped incense burner in the middle, with burning incense hovering in circles.

Further inside is Shen Huan's couch, five or six steps in front of the couch is hung a tourmaline bead curtain, the couch is covered with a light purple bedding, and there are dark black tassel pillows.

Chen Fangyue peeled off the pearl curtain with his fingers, walked to the couch without making a sound, put his hands behind his back, and looked down at the person on the couch.

Shen Huan was lying on her side, with one hand under her face and the other on the quilt, sleeping soundly.

After so many years, Chen Fangyue is still fascinated by this beauty. Shen Huan is so beautiful, eyebrows, eyes, lips, nose, neck, ears... There is no one thing that is not beautiful.

Chen Fangyue slowly bent down and lowered her head, approaching Shen Huan's sleeping face, but she didn't want Shen Huan to wake up suddenly and open her eyes, looking at him right in front of her eyes, she backed away silently.

Chen Fangyue didn't seem to notice his estrangement, and straightened his slightly crooked pillow: "I heard that the matter of Miaoyi hasn't been settled yet?"

"Yes, does the master have any regulations?"

"As before, I can rest assured that you are the master of the back house."

Shen Huan doesn't like to wear a bun when she sleeps, so she asks her maid to tie it up with a hairband every time. Xu Shi moved in a dream while sleeping today, and most of the hairband fell apart, and her hair scattered on her chest and back.

His hair grew down to his hips, dark as satin, and made his face small and pale.

Chen Fangyue said again: "From tomorrow, Aunt Luo will come to Minghui Hall to read two volumes of scriptures for you every day at the hour of the hour. When will you finish reading the scriptures in your room?"

The sky outside the window was completely dark, and the two bright lights in the room were so dim that only the side of the couch could be seen clearly.

Shen Huan was lying on the couch, her hands were tightly held, she looked at the swaying roof, not daring to have the thought of wanting to be warmer, the more she thought about it, the colder it became, the more she thought about it, the colder she became...

In the early morning of the next day, everyone in the Chen family knew about Chen Fangyue's treatment of Chen Miaoyi's entry into the palace. It was so tragic.

Not only did she fail to hold it well, but my aunt was sent to the old lady to learn a lesson.

The eldest wife, Jia, picked up a melon seed and peeled it carefully, and said to the elder Chen who was sitting opposite: "It's a good thing that the old lady doesn't have any sons or daughters of her own. If there is a whole Chen family, my father will chew it up and give it to the old lady." swallow it."

Grandpa Chen leaned halfway on the soft pillow, glanced sideways at Jia Shi, who was only two years younger than him, but older than him, the thought that had been hidden in his heart for many years was restless again, and he sucked his teeth twice Hanako.

Even an old pedant like his father who can only deal with government affairs and sage books all day long was eaten to death by Shen Huan, he...

Grandpa Chen squinted his eyes and pretended to be asleep, but he was thinking about Shen Huan.

Shen Huan.

Pity.

The more Chen Dayuan thought about it, the more he felt uncomfortable, so he patted his robe and walked out.

Seeing his yelling, Jia yelled angrily behind him, "Which coquettish fox in the morning is obsessed!"

Master Chen ignored her and left with the two servants.
