The Six Palaces of Favorites: The Black-bellied Emperor's Cold Concubine

Chapter 1005 Birthday (61)
"Whether to go or not, the emperor can decide for himself." The Empress Dowager ignored his petty temper, nodded to Qingchen and said: "It's really not easy to be able to do this after suffering such a big grievance. When you were growing up, you might not be able to have such a heart, and it will be difficult for you."

It's not that she doesn't hate her, but she has no choice. In order to appease her ancestor's dissatisfaction with her, what else can she do except be patient?And this is more for herself, the empress dowager is dissatisfied with the emperor's exclusive favor, isn't she the one who complains from the bottom of her heart?If she didn't know how to advance or retreat at this time and was aggressive towards the queen, she might not only fail to bring down the queen, but would also involve herself in it.

Qingchen bowed his head and said respectfully: "Even if it is to live up to the protection of my ancestors and the emperor for my concubines, my concubines shouldn't feel wronged."

The empress dowager nodded with a gratified smile, "Well said, this is a good boy who understands reason. The emperor has a stubborn temper, and it means you are always around to persuade him so that he will not make him do something too outrageous." , so my ancestors can rest assured."

Seeing that the emperor was still sullen and depressed alone, the empress dowager still had something to say to them, so she ordered: "You go back first, you're quite frightened today, go back and rest well, and come back after healing the wound on your foot." It’s not too late to talk to your ancestors.”

Seeing that the emperor didn't seem to have anything to say to her, Qing Chen bowed obediently and said: "Yes, my concubine will retire."

Holding Yun Lan's hand out of the Yongshou Palace, Qing Chen didn't show too much emotion, but he was even more disturbed after returning.

Seeing that she had been sitting depressed and silent, Yun Lan asked softly, "Ma'am, are you unhappy about what happened today?"

Qingchen held the hand stove in his arms, and asked with a heavy heart: "Today, the empress dowager reprimanded the emperor, and mentioned several times that the emperor should not favor my palace, so I knew that the empress dowager did so to the emperor. dissatisfaction. Where she blamed the emperor, it was clearly me."

Yun Lan also seemed to have a premonition and said: "So, fortunately, the empress did not cry like Wei Ronghua in Yongshou Palace, otherwise not only would she not be able to please her, but she would even lose the good impression she usually left on my ancestors. If the favored concubine is ignorant, she will be the most disliked by the elders, and the words of the concubine dispelled the worries of the ancestors, so she allowed the concubine to stay in the harem."

"That's it. You're right. You're thinking about going with me." Even so, Qingchen still felt a little uneasy. If the ancestors were still willing to reprimand you for their actions, they would still give you a chance. It's fine.But if the person was uncharacteristically gentle and considerate before, it is very likely to have murderous intentions. "Let Xiao Xiangzi keep an eye on it. When the emperor comes out of Yongshou Palace, try to invite him to our palace for dinner."

Yun Lan understood what she was thinking, she had no idea in her mind, she had to see the emperor, and she would be at ease only by playing his role.Putting a piece of yellow silk on her lap, Yun Lan stood up and said, "Your Majesty, take a break first, and this servant will let Xiao Xiangzi watch over it. Besides, it's getting late, so I should tell Qinxue and Jinxiu to prepare for the night." meal."

"Then prepare it." Although I don't have much appetite, at least I still have to prepare dinner for the emperor, right?

As for the Yongshou Palace, the Empress Dowager darkened her face and asked in a cold voice when she saw Qingchen go out, "If you keep this girl, the harem may continue to have conflicts, for the sake of the emperor's backyard peace, and for the sake of your brotherhood." The old ancestor can only live in harmony with each other, the old ancestor can only make a painful decision. I wanted to leave a comfort for the emperor, but who knows that you have disappointed the old ancestor, Gui Nanny, the sweet-scented osmanthus wine brewed this autumn is fragrant and sweet, you give it for me The imperial concubine, send a jar over there."

Nanny Gui looked at the emperor and Xiao Jue reluctantly and distressedly, then turned around and was about to go out, when she saw the emperor's eyebrows twitch, she hurriedly stopped her, and asked urgently, "Old ancestor, what do you want to do?"

The Empress Dowager said with a cold expression: "Grandmother allowed you to posthumously designate her as empress, and to bury her in the imperial tomb with the emperor a hundred years later. Isn't this a supreme honor?"

"No, I don't agree. If the imperial grandmother insists on doing this, then my grandson will not be the emperor anymore. Please ask the imperial grandmother to choose another virtuous emperor! I am not angry with the imperial grandmother, this time I will definitely do what I say! Back then If I can't keep Wanyi, and now if I can't keep the imperial concubine, what's the point of being an emperor? I don't want to be so useless anymore!"

Xiao Jun took off the jade ring finger from his thumb and put it heavily on the table. This jade ring finger was once the favorite of Emperor Taizu. When he ascended the throne, the Empress Dowager gave it to him. I hope he can understand It was not easy for the ancestors to conquer this country, and I hope he will be a good emperor in the future.Every time Xiao Jun saw this finger puller, she always felt that she could not live up to the high expectations of her ancestors, so she endured it silently no matter how hard or tired she was.He was extremely exhausted, but he just wanted to find a little comfort from his beloved, to feel a little real warmth by her side, but such a small request was now becoming a luxury.

He was used to seeing those people's intrigues in the previous court, and when he returned to the harem, he saw the flattering faces full of greed and desire, and he felt exhausted.There is no one you can trust, and you have to be on guard all the time, and you can't get a moment of relaxation and tranquility. He is also a human being, at least he needs to sleep soundly at night, right?
The Empress Dowager glanced at the things on the table sternly, and asked sharply: "For a woman, can you really not even want the throne? You abandon the world, the painstaking efforts of your ancestors are like shoes, and the hard work of your grandmother for many years Regardless of cultivation, just for her?"

Xiao Jun knelt straight and said: "Grandmother, please forgive my grandson for being unfilial. My grandson really can't bear it. Back then when Wanyi died in the fire, I was disheartened and even felt that life was worthless. For Chen'er, the grandmother might as well just kill her grandson.

I guard the throne, guard the great country, and guard the peaceful life of Yi Wan Li Shu, but who has seen my hard work?Look at these women in the harem, how about the queen, I don't need to say more, the emperor's grandmother knows it well; Concubine Ning is greedy for power, why has she ever said a word of greeting to me?Wei Ronghua is hypocritical and treacherous, and only wants to use my favor to climb up; Yao Shuyi and Xin Shuyuan have always been indifferent to me; Xiao Jieyu tried every means to please Qier to please me, but only for the position of the prince; Not to mention the other people, all the condescension and joy are for the purpose of consolidating their own family interests.The imperial grandmother blamed me for doting on the imperial concubine, but how much did the imperial grandmother see for what he paid for me?How much can others match her?

What I gave her was what she deserved. I didn't feel that I was partial, but I always felt that I owed her!She always endures and tolerates, but she is also a human being, and she will be sad. The emperor's grandmother praised her for being general and sensible again and again, but have you ever thought about her feelings? "
