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

Chapter 1146 Competing for the rear position (3)
"I can see that you will be a good mother in the future, and it is his blessing to have a mother like you." The emperor hesitated for a while, and said: "Actually, I should have entrusted Heng'er to you to raise, but I'm also afraid that you won't be able to endure the exhaustion during pregnancy, so there is no way to send it to Concubine Ning to settle the matter."

Qingchen hurriedly said: "Chenqie understands that Chenqie is also going to be a mother, and now I can better understand the feelings of parents loving their children. As long as he can be safe, other things can be discussed in the long run."

The emperor smiled warmly, held her in his arms and said softly: "I already know that you are the most intelligent and reasonable, and there is no need for me to explain to you at all. I think you are particularly sleepy these days, if you are really tired Lie down and have a good rest. It’s easy to catch cold like this. It’s already past the Mid-Autumn Festival, so I have to remember to add clothes sooner or later. I’ve set the itinerary for returning to the palace in October, but I’m afraid that it’s not yet three months, and the road will be bumpy It's so powerful, your body can't take it."

Qingchen said mischievously: "The emperor is very thoughtful, and the concubine is taking the place of the child. Thank you, father, for your love."

"Why use you to replace him, I can wait for him to call my father emperor himself, our child must be a smart and handsome boy."

Seeing the emperor's expectant eyes, Qingchen felt warm in his heart, and couldn't help saying softly: "The emperor and Xiao Jue were already famous all over the world at the age of 15, and they were known as the 'second son of Lianbi'. It can be seen that the emperor was young when he was young. , how beautiful and handsome. If our child can also be like the emperor, a handsome young man, full of talent, both civil and military, how lovable it will be?"

Xiao Jun was very happy because of her praise and admiration. She was so attached to him back then, and the way she looked at him has never changed. Even though they have been separated for two years, her love for him has not diminished at all.

"You will see, and I will personally teach him many things in the future, he will be the best among the princes, and will never let you down."

Qingchen smiled but said nothing, just leaned into his arms affectionately, their child, no matter who he looks like, will definitely be an excellent boy.

After serving the emperor for dinner, it was rare for Xiao Jun to stay with her when he was free. He didn't mention the matter of the queen, and Qingchen didn't ask about it. It was rare for the two of them to enjoy the moon and drink tea in the pavilion on the Jiuqu Bridge outside the palace. sweet time.

Qingchen leaned in his arms, lazily looking at the bright moon in the sky, the moonlight fell into her eyes, those twinkling eyes were brighter than the stars in the sky.The pair of pearl shoes on the feet emit a shining brilliance, which can compete with the bright moon.

She just kicked her feet to play like that, and the two of them didn't talk much, just cuddling each other quietly.The emperor occasionally looked down at her dotingly, and tightened the cloak around her to prevent her from catching cold.

In the quiet night, the tranquility was suddenly broken by a long cry. Qingchen clearly saw a multicolored phoenix in the night sky, exuding dazzling light, dragging its gorgeous phoenix tail, and flying in the direction of Concubine Ning's Yonghua Palace. .

Qinxue, who was waiting by the side, couldn't help exclaiming, "Could it be that the legendary phoenix?"

Qingchen was also amazed, stood up slowly, and looked in the direction of Concubine Ning's bedroom thoughtfully.There was some surprise on the emperor's face at first, and after a while he said with normal expression: "The phoenix does not fall without the phoenix tree. If it is really a divine bird, then you should obey the will of heaven and come to your Phoenix Palace."

Qingchen remained silent, and said in a deep voice for a long time: "Concubine Ning's palace is full of begonias, and begonias have always been a symbol of wealth and prosperity, so it is called Yonghua Palace, which is also a good meaning. There’s nothing wrong with it, it’s really a happy event.”

After all, Qinxue was too young to hold her breath. Hearing what she said, she stomped her feet impatiently, and interrupted without regard for etiquette: "The phoenix is ​​a divine bird. Wherever it flies to, it is a sign of auspiciousness. What is there in Concubine Ning's palace?" Well, why did you fly to her? Even if there is Haitang, this season has already ended."

The phoenix is ​​only seen in totems or calligraphy and paintings. It is not certain whether there is such a divine bird. Besides, even if there is, how can the gods like a scheming man who can be used cruelly by children? A woman's maternal love?

Qingchen repeated lightly: "Yeah, what's so good about her palace, why did she fly to her Yonghua Palace?"

The emperor heard the sarcasm in her words, and also heard her implication, coldly pursed his lips, and said meaningfully: "Begonia is known as the 'Flower Immortal' and 'Flower Concubine'. Vulgar, it is indeed a flower of wealth and honor, but the queen of flowers is the peony, no matter how expensive the crabapple is, it cannot be replaced by the host, so why force it.”

Qingchen smiled knowingly, didn't bother to pay any more attention, took the emperor's hand, turned and went back to the palace to rest.

For several days, more and more people saw a phoenix flying down to Concubine Ning's Yonghua Palace at night. Those who didn't know the truth thought it was really a divine bird, and Concubine Ning was destined to be the queen.

After Phoenix, at the chrysanthemum appreciation banquet in the Imperial Garden, Concubine Ning deliberately let the emperor and everyone see another show of God's favor. Standing on the shore, those Jin Lins ignored the crowd and gathered at Concubine Ning's feet as if worshiping.

For a moment, all the concubines looked at each other, no one could understand why, only Qingchen smiled and remained silent, she was always able to bear it and kept silent, she also wanted to see what tricks Concubine Ning could play next.

Sure enough, in the afternoon of the next day, news came out from the palace again, saying that two peonies in front of Concubine Ning's palace suddenly burst into bloom, and the blossoms were more prosperous than in spring, which attracted many people to come to watch and marvel.

The so-called thing is only three things, if it continues like this, it will be a bit deceiving, so Qingchen ordered Jinxiu to say: "Go tell Xiao Yinzi, let him not leak the news for the time being, wait until midnight, lead all the people in the House of Internal Affairs, Go and watch the so-called phoenix, what kind of divine bird is it?"

Jinxiu was still a little worried at first, but when she saw Yun Lan sneered, she said, "Isn't Your Majesty suspecting that there is something wrong with that bird?"

Qingchen lowered his head and concentrated on painting, and said indifferently: "Although it's not kind to do so, she asked for the slap in the face, no wonder Ben Gong. Strange power and chaos, is it a fool to think of Ben Gong?"

Jinxiu understood what she meant, so she took the order and shot down the divine bird with a bow and arrow in the middle of the night, she couldn't help but be dumbfounded.

Qinxue followed to watch the excitement, and when she came back, she held her belly and smiled and said, "Madam, do you know what that so-called phoenix is? It turned out to be an eagle. Someone stuck peacock feathers on it and dyed it. Vibrant colors, it glows in the moonlight because the feathers are coated with fluorescent powder.

Sister Jinxiu hung that 'Phoenix' on the avenue of the Imperial Garden, and tomorrow everyone will be able to see the true face of that divine bird.Thinking of what Concubine Ning will look like tomorrow, the servant girl laughs so hard that her stomach hurts, no wonder the Phoenix always appears at night, it turned out to be the reason.
