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

Chapter 1102 The Intentions Are Sinister (18)
Jingshu sighed silently. Seeing her sad, he felt uncomfortable, and comforted with tears: "Madam, I should not have said something. There are so many women in this palace, and the emperor's heart is so big. He wants to pretend to be the world. He still has to pretend to be concubines in the harem. The world is so big, how much space can he allocate to these women in the harem? Empresses are smarter than slaves, so they naturally know why concubines above the third rank call themselves concubines. , "Concubine" is in the back. The emperor and the masters and ladies of the harem are first monarchs and ministers and then masters and servants, but they are not husband and wife. The emperor's wife has only one queen, but even if you get a wife, don't you call yourself a concubine? So, With the word 'Chen' in front, there is no room for love between men and women, how alienated and cold this word is."

Ye Hanyu smiled wryly and said: "You are right, how distant and cold this word is, the word 'official', separated from the interests of the family, separated from the dignity of the monarch and his ministers, seems to be as far away as thousands of mountains and rivers, so I can only treat He looked at each other from a distance. 'Concubine' hehe, isn't there someone who doesn't even have the qualifications to be called 'concubine', are those who call themselves 'concubines' farther away from him?"

There are some things that Jing Shu dare not say, so she has to follow her to answer, the emperor is not born with a cold heart, even if thousands of mountains and rivers are separated, the person who can be close to him is still in his heart day and night ?

Even when she was extremely sad, Concubine Xian did not stop the calculations in her heart, raised her hand to wipe away the tears on her face, gritted her teeth and struggled to stand up, and staggered towards the inner room, "Jing Shu, help me Change clothes, I will go to the imperial concubine to plead guilty."

Jing Shu hurriedly persuaded: "Your Majesty, what are you going to do with the imperial concubine at this time?"

Concubine Xian angrily pulled out the hairpin from her head and threw it on the dressing table, her eyes were so cold that it made people shudder, and she sneered almost madly: "Didn't the emperor say that the imperial concubine is magnanimous, since she has repeatedly tried to put her to death Even Wei Ronghua can forgive me, let alone Ben Gong who is deeply in love with her sister? If she can forgive Ben Gong, then why does the Emperor have any reason to blame Ben Gong?"

Jing Shu thought for a while, but finally felt that something was wrong, and tried to persuade her: "Your Majesty, it's better to talk about it later, the imperial concubine must be angry now, aren't you asking for shame if you go at this time? If she doesn't Pay attention to the empress, let you kneel outside, then..."

Concubine Xian gritted her teeth and said fiercely: "She won't, I know her best, no matter what she thinks in her heart, she will never humiliate others by ignoring her, just look at her treatment of Wei Ronghua You know the attitude."

Taking off the hairpin to treat the crime, this is the way concubines make a big mistake to plead guilty, no one in the palace will do this easily, even if she is sorry for the imperial concubine, this kind of pleading is enough to show her sincerity.

The emperor took Fuquan out of the Huayu Palace, with a gloomy face, his lips tightly pressed, and he walked quickly all the way without saying a word.

Back in the imperial study room, Fuquan served tea to the emperor, and said softly, "Your majesty, calm down and drink a cup of lotus seed tea to clear your heart."

Xiao Jun was sitting on the heated kang with her elbows propped on the small golden nanmu table, her hanging hand was still trembling because of anger, "Fuquan, I really didn't think of it, and I couldn't believe it. Concubine Xian would actually use this method to frame the imperial concubine. In her eyes, is human life so contemptible? Now that she is a mother, she can still dedicate such a sinister prescription to the imperial concubine, which really makes me dumbfounded! Imperial concubine Even if she wants to have a child again, I believe she will never use such a cruel method to obtain medicine!"

Under the emperor's fury, Fuquan didn't dare to answer casually, but he was also a little suspicious. Why did the imperial concubine suddenly choose to use some birth control medicine after bringing the mother and child into the palace? Is there no other reason for this? ?But the emperor was not suspicious, and he didn't dare to mention anything. He just persuaded in a low voice: "Your Majesty, the imperial concubine is such a smart person. How can this little trick fool her so easily? Besides, haven't you already punished her?" Concubine Xian, Xian... oh no, Empress Yubi has never done anything outrageous since she entered the palace. After all, she is not a vicious person by nature. It feels better, doesn't it?"

The emperor sighed softly, thinking of all the benefits of Yubi before, he also felt a lot of emotion for a while, "Before Yubi was a gentle and honest woman, and I also admired her conduct in the world very much, but I don't know when she started, how could she be so kind?" Such dark thoughts? The imperial concubine is very close to her, and now that something like this has happened, it must be Chen'er who is most sad."

After a pause, the emperor sighed again: "The Ye family has been loyal and good for generations, Taifu Ye is highly respected and is my benefactor, Ye Mingqin is young and promising, and is also a subject I rely on, the Ye family has made many achievements, and I will not let Yu Concubine down no matter what , but this also depends on her own virtue, at least worthy of the title of "virtuous" I gave her. Over the years, I think I have not treated her badly, even if nothing else, it only depends on my relationship with her. For the sake of growing up together, I didn't neglect her, why did she still feel that it wasn't enough, and wanted to frame the imperial concubine, what more did she want? I entrusted Heng'er to her to be raised, that's a lot of trust, Can't he see my painstaking efforts? I also hope that she is just confused for a while, otherwise I will be really sad."

Fuquan knew that the virtuous concubines that the emperor had seen in recent years had always adhered to etiquette, meekness and virtuousness, so even if she was not a beloved woman, he had always praised her very much, so he treated her generously and trusted her everywhere, which can be regarded as a model for concubines.Now that the emperor suddenly saw such an unbearable thing, it was like seeing stains on a gorgeous silk. While making people angry, it was more painful and regretful.

"Your Majesty, people are not sages and sages. Even though Yu Concubine is confused, she wants to compete for favor, isn't it because she loves the Emperor? The old slave feels that if Yu Concubine sincerely repents, the Imperial Concubine will not make things difficult for her, after all The two are much closer than others, don't worry, things may not be as bad as you think."

"The closer you are, the sadder you are. Sometimes people can forgive their enemies, but they can't forgive their own relatives. It's because the more they care about the person, the deeper the hurt. Xiao Jue was like this to me at the beginning, but now Concubine Yu The same is true for the imperial concubine, I understand how she feels."

The emperor's eyes showed deep pity, and he ordered Fuquan to say: "Go to the imperial dining room and order people to send more of the latest melons and fruits to the imperial concubine's palace. Also, tell her to cherish it." For yourself, don't be sad."

Fuquan thought for a while and said: "Didn't the emperor always praise the ice bowl made by the imperial concubine before? Since the old slave is asked to deliver the fruit, why not let the imperial concubine make an ice bowl for the emperor? People are in a bad mood. Sometimes, there is something to do, which can always relieve the depression in my heart."
