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

1119 Chapter 8 Conspiracy of Each Other ([-])
Qingchen's heart skipped a beat, he already understood the meaning of the emperor's words, he didn't want himself to use the name of delivering sour plum soup to get involved in Master Ji's affairs, maybe the emperor already knew about Liang Shuyi's crying in his palace.It seems that it is really inappropriate to force this matter against the Sacred Heart right now, otherwise, even if it is pleading, it will be useless, and it will be charged with the crime of meddling in the harem without knowing what is good or bad.

Inadvertently seeing a water-red silk handkerchief under the small nanmu table, Qingchen felt a little annoyed, and sneered: "I'm afraid it's not that the taste of my concubine's sour plum soup has changed, it's that the emperor's mind has changed, maybe whoever used it?" The things my sister sent me are incomparably delicious, so I naturally feel that my concubine's sour plum soup is not to my taste."

Xiao Jun was slightly taken aback, looked at his sour and jealous look, looked in the direction she pointed, and couldn't help laughing when she saw the silk handkerchief: "What nonsense, that handkerchief is probably Concubine Ning The one who was left behind, she came to me because she had something serious to talk about, not what you think."

"What is this concubine thinking? Sister Concubine Ning is the emperor's concubine, so it's only natural to come to visit the emperor. The emperor summoned me, but my concubine didn't stop me. Why did this concubine mess around?" Turning his face away, he slapped it twice and felt upset, so he reached out to clean up the sour plum soup, "Since the emperor doesn't like it, then I will take it back, and I will leave."

Seeing that she was really annoyed, Xiao Jun held the bowl of sour plum soup in her hand first, took a sip and said: "Well, it's not bad, it's sweet and sour, and it's cold and refreshing. I haven't tasted the sour plum soup you made for a long time. great."

Qing Chen curled her lips and asked: "Then the emperor just said, what's the business for Sister Concubine Ning to see the emperor?"

Xiao Jun raised her lips slightly, put down the bowl and stretched out her hand, "Come here."

Qingchen stood still shaking his fan, "The concubine just came in from the outside, her body was very hot, and she felt very irritable when she got hot."

"I can see that it's been hot recently, you've been restless, your diet is not as good as before, and you can't stand your temper with me at all times. Even you can't stand the heat like this, let alone others? Let the Ministry of Internal Affairs prepare and leave in three days. Go to the palace to escape the summer heat." Xiao Jun stretched out her hand and wanted to hold her in his arms, but when she saw that her forehead was wet, she wiped her sweat with a handkerchief and said, "Don't take advantage of this hour to go out in the future. , if you want to give me something, just send a girl to bring it over."

Qingchen frowned and glanced at him without words. Xiao Jun understood what she meant, and continued, "Concubine Ning is here to ask me to give her younger brother a marriage. She said that Mrs. Ning fell in love with the official Su Your Excellency's Second Miss wants me to marry you."

"But is the official minister Su Yunzhou the second young lady from Mrs. Su's family?" Qing Chen felt a little bad in his heart, thinking that Concubine Ning really never idles for a moment, and when the harem lost her power, she began to plan for the former court again. Power, among the emperor's concubines, in terms of scheming and the depth of the city, no one can match her, even himself is inferior to her.

Concubine Ning's two older brothers are both the daughters of the family of important ministers in the court. If her younger brother marries with the Su family again, then there will be at least four major families as her backing in the court. It's getting harder to deal with.

More importantly, Su Yunzhou is in charge of the Ministry of Officials, and the Ministry of Officials is in charge of the appointment and dismissal, examinations, promotions, honors, and transfers of civil servants all over the world. How many connections does Mr. Su have?If this marriage is completed, what will he have to contend with her after he hits the ground?It's not that she is greedy for power, but that if Concubine Ning becomes a queen in the future, wouldn't her status as an imperial concubine be embarrassing?

"Has the emperor agreed to her?" Xiao Jun obviously saw the flash of nervousness in her eyes, and asked lightly, "Is there any reason why I don't agree to her? You don't seem to be happy for me to do this." thing."

Qingchen sighed with some disappointment and said: "It's not that I don't like it, but I just feel a little pity. The concubine also heard that the second lady of the Su family is a good character, and she was full of intentions to ask the emperor to point her to her brother, but Unexpectedly, people got ahead of them, and the concubine felt a little bit lost."

The emperor smiled deeply and hooked the corners of his mouth, obviously he had seen through her mind, but he said ambiguously: "I haven't made an order yet, I just said to think about it, if you can think of it, I can think of it, you can rest assured. "

It's not that she didn't understand what he meant, but she lightly shook the fan in her hand, pretending to be ignorant, and said with a smile: "Is there anything to be worried about, the big deal is to choose another spouse for my brother, so why should I be worried because of this matter?" Are you going to fight against Concubine Ning and turn your face?"

The marriage of the Suning family will not only put a lot of pressure on her, but more importantly, the Ning family is too powerful for the emperor to control, even if the emperor wants to come, he will never agree to Concubine Ning's request, Qingchen thought of this , I'm relieved.Shicai was surprised, but he had lost his composure if he didn't think carefully, but now he thinks about it, and he feels a little regretful.

The emperor saw that her clothes were acceptable, but the headgear was too simple, so he reminded: "You are now my imperial concubine, and you will be in charge of the Phoenix Seal on behalf of the empress. There must be someone more noble than the empress. Although I know You are used to being simple, but you still have to have the dignity that you should have. Clothes and headgear are a symbol of a woman's status in the palace. Although this dress looks refreshing, it lacks dignity after all."

"To wash your hands and make soup for your husband, do you still have to carry the dignity of the imperial concubine to the kitchen? The concubine has written down what the emperor said, and will pay attention to her appearance in the future. I just hope that the emperor will not dislike the concubine." Said After that, he covered his mouth with a fan and smiled.

Through the bead curtain, the little fifth son replied outside: "Your Majesty, the lunch is ready. Will the Emperor eat in the royal study or go to the imperial concubine's palace?"

Xiao Jun's eyes darkened slightly, and she looked at her with an inexplicable complex look and asked, "You really came to see me for a bowl of sour plum soup?"

Qingchen sensitively caught the flash of displeasure in the emperor's eyes, his eyes moved slightly and he fanned leisurely and said: "The concubine does have something to ask the emperor."

After finishing speaking, he looked at his expression carefully, saw the emperor's brows lightly folded, and asked in a cool tone: "What's the matter?"

Seeing the emperor's expression, Qingchen knew that Liang Shuyi had entrusted her with her, and she couldn't bring it up today anyway, so she pretended to be innocent and said: "Tomorrow is Concubine Yi's birthday, and my concubine has hired a troupe. The pavilion congratulated her, and the courtiers and concubines begged the emperor to favor him, so they would go and sit there when the time came, and it was all to show Concubine Yi's face. She is the lord of the first palace, and the position is not low. The reward is to show favor, will the emperor agree to his concubine?"

With just a few words, the emperor's face became more relaxed, and he raised his eyebrows and asked, "You ran this trip under the sun to beg me for this matter? Wouldn't I begrudge you for some trivial matter?" Yes?"
