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

1130 Chapter 19 Conspiracy of Each Other ([-])
"Your majesty is wise, but..." Qingchen hesitated for a moment, then carefully looked at his face and asked: "Since there is a solution, can the emperor release Mr. Ji? Mr. Ji is old-fashioned and not pedantic." If you know that the emperor has a plan to achieve the best of both worlds, you will definitely support it with all your strength. The emperor himself said that when he is employing people, although young officials are full of enthusiasm, experience is also very important. You can do better, can't you?"

The emperor is in a good mood at the moment, and what she said makes sense, so he naturally agrees, "Whatever you say is what you say, how can I not listen to what you say now?"

Seeing her smile, although there was not much ups and downs on her face, but she couldn't hide the joy in her eyes, the emperor knew that she was relieved, this matter was on her heart, and it must not be a day or two.

Seeing the corner of the envelope exposed in the folder buried at the bottom, the emperor seemed to remember something, took out the letter and said: "The letter from Jin Xin was sent together in the memorial. I have read it. It's no big deal, they had a boy last year, so it's already one year old. This girl knows you're back, she misses you very much, she can't wait to fly back to see you with her wings."

Qingchen rejoiced while reading the letter: "This is really good news. It's just that the concubine was not in the palace at the time and didn't even send a congratulatory gift, so I feel a little sorry."

Xiao Jun leaned on the apricot-yellow ten thousand-character borderless gold thread hibiscus soft pillow behind her, sipping tea leisurely and said: "I brought it for you, I know you are kind to that girl, and I am also happy for her when I learned that she gave birth to a boy." , so I even gave you that congratulatory gift."

"It's still the emperor's thoughtfulness. The concubine thanked the emperor. This girl is blessed, and Su Yue is a general. Maybe she will be rewarded by a lady in the future." There is nothing important in Jin Xin's letter, just He said that he missed her and Jinxiu, and the others were just words from some parents who told her to take care of her health.

The emperor responded indifferently: "I transferred Su Yue to the southwestern border a year ago. He made many military exploits there, but he did not live up to my expectations. Now I still transfer him back to the northwest to work under the old general Ning. As a deputy general, I also hope that he can always pay attention to the troubles at the border for me, and report to me in time if there is any problem. The border trade city is the hard work of you and me. Now it is getting more and more prosperous, and there are already many people in the two countries. We started to intermarry, and there are more and more houses, if we can live in peace like this, the money I save from fighting each year is a considerable amount, and I can do a lot of things.”

"What the emperor said is that the border trade city must not be chaotic. It is not just a city problem, but more importantly, it is related to the peace of the two countries. Such stability is not easy to come by, so the emperor would rather give Concubine Ning some Grace, you must not force old General Ning back. Although he is the commander in chief of the soldiers and horses in the northwest, not all generals obey his orders, so the emperor does not need to worry too much."

In order to deal with the power of the Empress Dowager's family, the emperor let people from the Ning family and the Shen family enter the Northwest Command Army, but he never expected that Old General Ning would hold the military power in the Northwest in his own hands for the benefit of the family. It's just how many soldiers and horses they have in hand, and because they have spotted the emperor's death spot, the border trade city must not be messed up.

Once there is turmoil in the Northwest, it will not only be a civil strife, but also cause a war between the two countries. This is the reason why the emperor is so cautious.

Xiao Jun sneered and said, "At the beginning, I really wanted to give Concubine Ning the title of imperial concubine, not only because of the military achievements of the Ning family, but also because of her hard work in running the harem over the years, but she missed that one. Opportunities, although there are many reasons why the empress secretly obstructed them, but now I really don’t want to give them, what I hate the most is being blackmailed by others!”

Qingchen knew that Old General Ning had seized the emperor's seven inches, but also violated the emperor's bottom line, so he persuaded: "The emperor does not need to be angry. Since you can't take back the commander-in-chief from Old General Ning, the emperor will also You can secretly train more young soldiers, let them be rewarded for their meritorious service, and gradually grasp the real power of the various branches of the Northwest Army. When something happens, they will not be unprepared. But it is a matter of time, and the emperor who should bear it must first Bear with him."

Xiao Jun held her hand, took her into his arms, and softly discussed: "I know, so if there is something wrong with Concubine Ning, I must temporarily indulge her. I have nothing here, but I am afraid of being wronged." you."

It has come to this point today, she still has something she can't bear, so she responded in a general way: "The concubine knows the severity, the emperor can rest assured. As long as the emperor can bear it, the concubine can also bear it." .”

"I know that you have a heart and insight, and you will be able to understand what I have to do." The emperor adjusted his sitting posture slightly to make her lie more comfortably, and said softly: "These days, you have to manage the queen's funeral, and you have to worry about it." Thinking about Mr. Ji's affairs, you must be exhausted, right? Just take a nap in my arms, and when you get to the palace, I will wake you up."

"Thank you, Your Majesty." That's probably how people are, exhaustion comes one after another when they have nothing to worry about, Qingchen leans in his arms, and soon falls into a deep sleep.

She slept until evening, and when she woke up, the imperial chariot had just entered the palace, the emperor went to the imperial study first, and the concubines knelt down and went back to their own residences.

Qifeng Palace has already been cleaned properly. At the beginning, because she liked Hefeng Palace, the emperor built Qifeng Palace for her on the island in the water. This can be said to be the coolest place in the whole palace.
Tall sycamores and acacias are planted all over the front and back of the house here, covering the whole palace in a thick green shade, and even the green brick floors in the palace are covered with moss.

There are floor-to-ceiling windows on all sides of the hall. In summer, the windows are opened on all sides to ventilate. The cool breeze blows from the lake, bringing a touch of lotus fragrance to make people feel cool. catch a cold.

Qingchen watched the girls tidying up their things. Although they were in a hurry, she knew what was most important in front of her eyes, so she told Yun Lan, "If you can't finish tidying up these things tonight, then save them for tomorrow. You still have more to do." Important things need to be done. Aren’t there four serving eunuchs in the Queen’s Palace? No matter what method I use, I will let some of them work for us. Also, you go to see Shu Xuan. What I told him to do will finally come in handy."

Yun Lan understood what she meant, and hurriedly said: "Your servant understands, tonight the emperor said that he would come over to accompany the empress for dinner, so maybe he will rest here. I am afraid that the empress will not be able to go out tonight, so let the servant girl go out on behalf of the empress." Just once."
