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

Chapter 1089 The Intentions Are Sinister (5)
Xie Jinxuan's eyes sank. He never thought that today's event was planned by Concubine Xian. He asked in disbelief, "You mean Concubine Xian? She is..."

Qingchen interrupted him coldly: "She is just a concubine now, and my brother can no longer take care of her as his younger sister. People will always change, especially the women in this palace. You won't Knowing that the concubine Xian is no longer the sister Ye, I am so sad, but I have to accept this reality. Brother, I still have to guard against her carefully, you must not trust others, once you What happened, what should sister Hanying and I do?"

Xie Jinxuan naturally understands the stakes here. After all, he is a person who has experienced the crime of extermination. For him, nothing is more important than the safety of Qingchen and Liang Jieyu.

Even if I can't protect them, at least I can't implicate them, "I understand, I have written down what you said, and if there is anything in the future, I will definitely find a way to discuss it with you first, but I didn't expect that even Hanyu has changed. Such a kind woman, what made her disown her relatives?"

"It doesn't matter what it is. Now that she has made a choice, it proves that what she wants is far more important than what we came to. Brother, I am not a god. I can't do anything to persuade her to rein in the precipice. I feel very sad. "Qingchen knew that Xie Jinxuan was someone she could trust. In front of him, she didn't have to pretend, and she didn't have to hold on to her superficial strength. She could say anything with confidence.

Seeing her sad eyes, Xie Jinxuan really wanted to hug her and give her some comfort. His beloved sister, who hadn't heard from her for so many years, met again with great difficulty, but was forced to separate due to an accident. Xie Jinxuan always felt a little sorry for her. , I don't know how she is doing well these years, but I feel guilty that I haven't fulfilled my responsibility as a brother to take good care of her.

But after all, he is used to the vicissitudes of the world, and after experiencing the changes in the world, although he feels regretful about the change of the concubine Xian, it is not as painful as Qingchen, so he lightly comforted: "Wanyi, brother don't care. How about others, I only hope that you can be well, and I don’t want to see you sad because of others. Anyone, no matter who dares to hurt you, brother will not be soft. In this world, we are the only brothers and sisters who depend on each other. I will protect you with all my strength. Back then when our Xie family suffered such a great injustice, none of them was willing to lend a helping hand, not even a visit. I knew at that time that these people were unreliable It's not worth being sad for them. They are all people who only have their own interests in their eyes. Why do you feel sad because of the betrayal of these people? Your sadness is meaningless at all. Instead of being so sad, you should cheer up Let’s think about the countermeasures.”

"Brother, I know how to protect myself. You just need to take care of yourself, and you don't need to worry about me." Qingchen knew that he was disappointed, but why didn't she?
After returning to the palace, she asked Jinxiu to serve tea for Xie Jinxuan, and then went to change clothes by herself. After thinking about what to say to him, she came out with a smile and said: "Keep brother waiting for a long time, Yunlan's skill in making tea But this palace is one of the best, and this Jingting Luxue is my brother's favorite, how about it, can you still say it?"

Xie Jinxuan saw that she had changed into a pomegranate red and gold thread peony flower smoked dress. The sleeves were embroidered with various delicate and complicated auspicious patterns. Jade tassels dangled from the waist, a pouch with Sichuan brocade and gold thread, and a transparent suet jade pendant carved with a phoenix.Under her feet was a pair of bright pearl soft satin shoes, such a precious luminous pearl, others would feel like a treasure if they got one, but she was allowed to adorn the shoes so casually.

The emperor asked someone to make this pair of shoes for her, because she was worried that her eyes would be inconvenient when she walked at night, so that she would fall, so that every step would be bright, so she could see the road under her feet clearly and would not be tripped so easily.

Xie Jinxuan felt gratified just looking at her attire. A noble concubine should be like this. She is as graceful and luxurious as a queen, and she is the daughter of the Marquis Mansion, no matter how noble she is, she should be.

Xie Jinxuan's face had always been gloomy and cold, but now he finally felt a little warm, and even the tone of his speech was different from the usual warm-hearted and perfunctory, with a real sense of intimacy, "Aunt Yun was The first-class tea-serving lady next to the late emperor, when it comes to tea-making skills, no one can surpass her, thanks to you, I can drink such good tea, should I thank you?"

Qingchen tilted his head and smiled, and said coquettishly: "My family, I can't thank you for anything. I don't lack anything else here, but there is a lot of tea. Later, I will send Xiao Xiangzi to send some to my brother. Although I I also know that what kind of good tea has never been seen in our family back then? But this is also a little wish from my sister, you must accept it no matter what."

"They are all imperial concubines, and they act like a baby, and they are not afraid of people seeing the joke." Xie Jinxuan looked at her clothes again, and said with a gentle smile: "The emperor really treats you very carefully, I only hope that you can always It’s good to be smiling like this.”

"Only when my brother is safe and well, and I have reliance in the previous court, can my position in the harem be more secure." Speaking of which, some things can be naturally asked: "My brother is not young anymore, he has already arrived and should start a family Your age, the emperor said let me help you pay attention, and see which girl is in line with you, and propose a marriage for you. Although it is a great honor to give a marriage to you, it is more perfect if it is in line with your brother's wishes, so I still want to hear what my brother thinks, but is there anyone I like?"

Xie Jinxuan's eyes turned cold again, he took a sip of tea from his teacup, and said calmly: "I don't have anyone I like, and I don't plan to get married for the time being, you don't have to worry about me, just take care of yourself."

Qingchen waved away the people who were serving her. She could speak more bluntly when there were only two of them, and it would not make Xie Jinxuan feel uncomfortable.

"I know what my brother is thinking, but my brother is always alone like this. Is he really planning to let the blood of Xie's family be cut off in my brother's generation? Back then, in the prison, my father set fire to his mother and died in the sea of ​​flames in order to cover our brothers and sisters from escaping. , if you really don't marry for the sake of guarding the love in your heart, then how can you be worthy of your dead parents? Besides, Sister Hanying has already entered the palace. She insisted on refusing to serve her bed all these years, and the emperor treated her so leniently. She has reached the bottom line of her patience. If you are really for her good, you should dispel the emperor's suspicion and live your own life so that she will suffer less. I don't want to have a second time for what happened today. See you next time Being used by people with ulterior motives, I can't guarantee that I will have such good luck."
