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

Chapter 113
The queen lowered her head and brushed off the falling flowers on her body, and didn't pay attention to her words. She looked at Jin Xin with a smile, "This girl has a straightforward temper and an upright heart, but she has a temper for me. I like people like this. What she said is not What a bad thing, what are you punishing her for? It's a rare encounter today, since you are free, how about going for a walk with me?"

Qingchen hurriedly responded, "The concubine obeys."

Suddenly, a trace of uneasiness spread in her heart. She always felt that it was impossible for the queen to just invite her for a walk. She probably had something to say to her, because she knew that it was not easy to be so respectful with her. Talkative people hang out, it's really not interesting.

The queen chatted with her about the family while walking, but she just responded obediently, and occasionally said something innocuous.It is the season when the cherry blossoms are in full bloom in the garden. The ground is red like rain, like a thick pink carpet. When the wind blows, the cherry blossoms are flying all over the sky. Can't help reaching out to catch the falling petals.

The queen stood under the tree, looking up at the tree full of flowers, the corners of her mouth were still raised, but her eyes seemed to have a sense of melancholy, "The cherry blossoms are not long behind, and you can see many red and bright fruits, so the palace regards it as a treasure. A symbol of auspiciousness and fertility, I like to embroider it on the curtains or quilts for auspiciousness. But Chengkun Palace does not have such good cherry blossoms, only peonies and peonies. Although they look rich and prosperous, they are empty with no fruit. Zhi, after all, it makes people feel lonely.”

There is no child in the middle palace, and the empress inevitably feels regretful, but Qingchen always feels that the empress is not such a sentimental character, so he can't figure out her thoughts, and dare not speak too clearly, so he just doesn't understand: "Peony country is beautiful and heavenly fragrance , is the first of all flowers, as elegant and luxurious as the queen empress, how many people can't even imagine planting this flower in their own palace, why is the empress envious of this ordinary cherry blossom instead?"

The queen didn't look back, she just stretched out her hand and gently folded off a blooming flower branch and took it in her hand, and then picked off the string of dense flowers bit by bit. , the queen said lightly: "The flowers bloom well, and the fruits they bear are naturally good. It's a pity that such a good fruit tree is not in my palace. I am really envious."

Zheyue, who was silently following the empress, suddenly smiled and said, "Since this tree does not belong to our palace, seeing it will only annoy the empress, so it is better to cut it down directly to save the wait." When it bears fruit, you can pick it up and show off on the branches, which will make your empress even more sad." Although Zheyue was speaking to the queen, she kept looking at Qingchen.

Qingchen thought about the conversation between the two of them and did not dare to say anything. The queen glanced at her unintentionally. Seeing her bewildered face, she looked back and scolded Zheyue lightly: "What nonsense, every plant and tree in this imperial garden is the emperor's. Yes, even if I am the empress, I can’t do whatever I want, how can I destroy something just because it didn’t come from Chengkun Palace, if this word gets out, how do you make people in the world think of me?”

Zheyue hurriedly lowered her head and said, "This servant is confused, please punish me, Your Majesty."

The queen snorted coldly and did not speak, Zheyue still quietly stepped aside.

Seeing that the queen had no intention of punishing Zheyue, Qingchen couldn't help sneering in her heart, thinking that this pair of master and servant really knows how to play tricks, no matter what, she would not be so stupid as to make wedding clothes for her, and kill her mother and son, such an unreasonable thing. Unable to do it, he thought for a while and smiled: "The empress is kind, she doesn't even want to trample on a single flower or grass, she really has a deep Buddha's heart. In fact, this tree is no different from that tree, and the fruits must be picked when they are ripe. Come down and send it to the master's table, so who would care about which tree it bears? The empress is the master of the harem, and the fruits of all the fruit trees in this palace belong to the empress, so where is the difference? What do fruit trees do?"

The queen is the head of the middle palace, and all the children born to concubines in the harem must recognize her as the aunt, isn't that enough?Why do you have to kill everything before you give up?Is it true that there is no room for a little Ronghua?
