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

Chapter 1175 The Dark Forces (1)
Coldly pursing her lips, she picked up the teacup and sipped the tea carefully, her eyes gleaming with a sinister light, as if she was about to watch a good show.

Empress Shaoqing arrived, and after taking her seat, all the concubines knelt down and saluted. Apart from seeing Murong Shaocheng's congratulatory form, the emperor was in a good mood today, especially after learning that Qingchen was pregnant with twins. Afterwards, she was even more delighted, so she said softly: "Let's all get flat, please sit down."

Later, the three princes came out to salute. Although Heng'er was not yet two years old, she had already started to run around, kneeling down with her two elder brothers in a dignified manner: "The emperor sees the father, I wish the father Longevity and good health, I wish my mother a thousand years of good luck.”

The emperor looked at the princes below, all with beautiful faces and elegant manners, and he was even more happy. Compared with the concubines he saw just now, he was a little more loving and fatherly, and said softly: "Everyone, get up and take your seats. .”

After singing and dancing, Concubine Jing got up and held the cup and said: "Your Majesty, Empress, and concubines congratulate the Empress on her conferment."

The empress toasted and drank fine wine together. Because Qingchen was pregnant and it was not suitable to drink alcohol, she replaced her cup with freshly squeezed lotus root and cherry honey juice, and then the concubine also got up and said: "Empress, my concubine also respects you." One cup, from the time when the concubine first met the empress when she first entered the palace to when the concubine became concubine, thinking about it, the concubine was filled with emotion, no matter what, the concubine was happy for the empress."

Yubi wanted to say that after going through so much suffering along the way, she finally made it to this day. Whether she was happy for her or not, she was full of emotion when she said this, but in front of everyone, there was something to say It can't be so obvious, it's good for two people to know each other well.

Qing Chen looked at Yu Concubine's complicated expression, and felt mixed emotions in her heart for a moment. Before she could speak, she heard someone in the hall retching. Enduring discomfort in pain.

Seeing He Wanyi's appearance, Concubine Ning couldn't help but smirked and said, "What's wrong with Concubine He, did Yu Concubine's words make you feel so uncomfortable?" She really wanted to say, did Yu Concubine's words make you feel so disgusted? Well, but in front of the empress, she was used to being reserved, so she still spoke a lot more euphemistically.

Why did Yubi not understand what she meant? Perhaps everyone in this palace could understand the irony in her words, and she couldn't help looking at He Wanyi in embarrassment and said: "If He Wanyi is sick, there is no need to force yourself Come to the dinner, the Empress is merciful, she will definitely not argue with you, why bother to make others feel uncomfortable when you are uncomfortable?"

He Wanyi looked at Yu Concubine's angry look, and gave her a very proud look, her eyes were full of provocation, she supported the girl's hand and slowly stood up and blessed Fushen: "The empress, forgive me, this concubine really didn't do it on purpose. , It’s just that the concubine is very angry, and I can’t control myself, so I ask the empress to forgive me.”

Qingchen's heart moved slightly, but there was no change on his face. With a gentle smile on the corner of his mouth, he asked, "Evil? Could it be that He Wanyi is pregnant?"

He Wanyi shyly replied: "Exactly, my concubine has been feeling unwell for the past few days. I invited the imperial physician to treat my concubine last night. I never thought that I would have a happy pulse. It has been almost two months. It was the last time the emperor was here. The imperial study room summoned the ministers and concubines to sleep. Unexpectedly, the heavens were merciful and gave the ministers a child. Because today is the concubine ceremony of the empress, the concubines have never had the opportunity to tell the emperor, and invite the emperor and the empress Forgive me."

Someone in the seat muttered, "Why did you call you to sleep, didn't you climb onto the dragon bed with all your heart and soul?"

He Wanyi turned her head slightly, although she heard this very clearly, she snorted lightly, and didn't care about others.She knew very well that there was no need to argue with others at this time, as being pregnant would be the best torture for these people.

Yubi's face twitched slightly. First, she didn't expect He Wanyi to have such good luck; Queen Ying.Although it is a happy event for the concubine to be pregnant with the emperor's heir, it is only her own happy event. I am afraid that no one here thinks it is something to celebrate.

On the contrary, they would be jealous and resentful, hoping that something would go wrong with He Wanyi, and they would be happy if both mother and child died.This is the mentality of the women in the palace. If you can't get it, others have it, and you can't wait to destroy it to balance it.

Qingchen smiled slightly, turned around and said to the emperor: "Your Majesty, since today is a double happiness, why not promote He Wanyi together?"

The emperor didn't say a word at first, but took a deep look at her, and then responded blankly: "Since it's the queen's intention, then I will give her this kind of grace. Wanyi is the fifth rank, why don't she be promoted first?" From the noble face of the fourth rank."

He Wanyi knew that this would be the case. As long as the concubine is pregnant, as long as she is not as unpleasant as Wei Ronghua, the emperor is not stingy with rewarding her. Although she expected it, at this moment, she is still overjoyed. With the help of the maidservant, she came out and knelt down: "My concubine thanked the Lord for your kindness, long live the emperor, and a thousand years for the empress."

Xiao Jun thought for a while and said: "Congratulations to Wanyi with 24 pieces of brocade, a pair of hairpins with everything going well, a pair of white jade jade hairpins inlaid with beads, two jade bracelets, a pair of golden silk ruby ​​steps, and a pair of blue jade pillows. , a pair of gemstone flower and bird pattern gold bracelets, and the rest can be rewarded according to the regulations of the Ministry of Internal Affairs."

When He Wanyi heard that the emperor ordered such a generous reward, she was even more overjoyed. Qingchen understood his intentions, he would never treat his heirs favorably, and he didn't want people to say that because the empress was pregnant with a legitimate son, he ignored other princes , so it is not good for her reputation.

Qingchen immediately ordered: "He Wanyi's pregnancy is a great joy, and I will reward you with a pair of mutton fat and flower-wrapped jade rings for congratulations, a pair of Jinglan Ruyi knots, a pair of chi and luo circles on red gold plates, and a pair of stone phoenix butterflies. A pair of gold and silver hairpins, 24 batches of brocade brocade, twelve bolts of silk, a pair of white jade lotus bracelets, and a pair of suet jade Ruyi."

When everyone heard that the queen's reward was even more generous than the emperor's, they couldn't help curling their lips, not feeling angry, only He Guirong, under the eyes of everyone, came out to thank him with great pride.

Concubine Yu felt even more upset when she disturbed her. Looking at Heng'er who was not far away, she was mischievously playing with the wine glass on the table in Concubine Ning's arms, thinking that before the empress arrived just now, he would come over and shout My own mother felt even more uncomfortable when she was reluctant to part with her.Heng'er still kissed him, so it can be seen that he has not forgotten her as a mother, but it is also like this, which made Yupin hate Ningpin even more.
