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

Chapter 1184 The Dark Forces (10)
Concubine Ning snorted coldly: "What's the use of being anxious, there is no strategy, and being anxious is just being anxious."

Yipin sighed softly, looked at the red plum blossoms in the white porcelain vase on the flower stand in the corner, and said with a wry smile: "It is said that the fragrance of plum blossoms comes from the bitter cold, but when will we be able to get the sweetness from the bitterness?"

Concubine Ning said coldly: "If you want to endure hardships, you must have the perseverance of plum blossoms. This winter has just begun, and the days to come will be long. There are still people who can endure such bitter cold weather. After you survive, you will be able to see the blooming flowers. In spring, if you can’t make it through, no one will care. Anyway, a concubine is like a grain of sand in the palace. If a coffin dies and is carried out, who will remember you in the future? If you don’t want to wither early at such a young age, then You have to suffer and suffer, isn't that how the queen came here."

Yipin lowered her eyes sadly, and her light voice was obviously not confident, "Maybe how many people are as lucky as her?"

"Good luck?" Concubine Ning sneered heavily, and asked, "Have you forgotten who she is? She is Xie Wanyi. Back then, Xie's family was ransacked and only Xie Jinxuan and her were left. You, can you accept such a fate? Even if you are given a noble successor, if you really have to pay such a price in blood to get it, are you willing? You actually think this is a good fate? What a joke!"

The corners of Yipin's mouth twitched slightly, she took a deep breath, and sighed, "Yes, if I have to exchange fate with her to get everything right now, then I can't do it. I have to pay such a heavy price , I would rather not have that back seat."

The heavy snow fell all day long. I thought the emperor would come down later, but Xiao Jun actually came to Kunyi Palace an hour earlier.

There are pastries everywhere in Qingchen Palace. Recently, her appetite has increased a lot, and she always feels hungry. Jinxiu makes pastries and puts them within her reach, so that she eats them all day long. They are not idle.

As soon as the emperor entered the room, he smelled the sweet aroma of pastries, took off the bright yellow tuanlong and silver-patterned cloak inside the black fox fur, and threw it to Fuquan. He baked it on the charcoal basin in the small flower hall for a while before entering the inner room.

No one disturbed her, the emperor stepped into the threshold of the inner room, and saw that she was busy making a pair of tiger-toe shoes, and wanted to scare her, but was afraid that she would be really scared, so he coughed twice with a smile.

Qingchen raised his sore neck, seeing that the emperor was coming, he quickly put down the things in his hands and got up to salute, Xiao Jun stretched out his hand to support her and asked: "Yun Lan can't come up to serve for the time being, do you have enough manpower here? Do you want to ask the Ministry of Internal Affairs to add a few rough envoys to you?"

Qingchen took the tea brought by Qinxue and handed it to the emperor, then said with a smile: "It's enough, it won't be too late to add more people after the child is born. It's so snowy outside, and the concubine thought the emperor won't be here tonight ?”

"It's snowing, I just want to be lazy, I miss you, so I leave those booklets to see you." Xiao Jun looked at her a few times, gesturing at her waist and said: "It seems to be getting bigger again, Are your clothes enough? Pregnant people, don’t wear clothes that are too tight, it’s not good for the fetus.”

Qingchen ordered Qinxue to go out to fetch water to serve the emperor to clean his hands, and then said: "The clothes are already prepared, the emperor doesn't need to worry about these, the sewing room is very attentive. The chestnut cakes and lotus moon cakes that are only made in the small kitchen, the emperor Do you want to try it too?"

After waiting for him to wash his hands, Xiao Jun picked up a piece of lotus moon cake and tasted it, saying: "I didn't feel much if you didn't tell me, but as soon as I entered your room and smelled the sweet fragrance of pastries, I suddenly felt a little hungry." .”

Hearing what he said, Qingchen asked Jinxiu to bring him a bowl of jujube and lotus seed soup and said: "The emperor will eat something to fill his stomach first, and the small kitchen is already preparing dinner. Since the emperor came down early, how about today?" Let's make dinner earlier in the evening, shall we?"

"Don't worry, I want to eat a few more cakes." Xiao Jun picked up a piece of chestnut cake and put it to her mouth with a smile, "Try it too, the chestnut cake is the most delicious when it's still hot."

Qingchen took some snacks with him, and seeing that the emperor seemed to be in a good mood, he wiped it clean, holding the pair of tiger-toed shoes she made, looked left and right, and said, "Look, I haven't slapped you yet." Big, can this really be worn, will it be too small? If you squeeze your feet, children won't say, wouldn't it be uncomfortable to wear?"

Seeing his serious face, Qingchen covered his mouth and smiled and said: "It won't be small, these are all shoes from the sewing room, those embroiderers know best how big the shoes are for a few months How can it be so small?"

There were already three princes, and the emperor didn't worry about these trivial things, and now he looked like a mother-in-law. Seeing him flipping through the stacks of small clothes on the kang, he asked: "Do you want to prepare a double set?" , since you don't want to let the sewing room do it, are you almost ready?"

Qingchen was a little speechless, but he still replied softly: "It's almost done. Concubine Jing sent a lot of small clothes today. Xin Shuyuan and Yao Shuyi also helped the concubine a lot two days ago. Rough calculations It's enough to get down."

The emperor nodded, and carefully held her in his arms, obviously feeling that she was much heavier than before, raised his hand and pinched her chin and said with a smile: "The child is getting older, and your face is also rounder. , I still think this is better. I want to discuss something with you. Although the names of the princes of the direct line are all chosen with the word "Wang" radical to show their dignity, but if you really have a good name, you don't have to stick to it. ,What do you think?"

Qingchen hesitated for a moment, and said euphemistically: "Since the ancestor's rules are like this, it's just a name, so why should it be different from the princes? The concubines know that the emperor loves him, but it's not good to always make an exception like this. Having a sense of superiority that is different from others will only encourage children's vanity, which is not necessarily a good thing."

But the emperor didn't listen to her words, raised his eyebrows and said: "I named my emperor's son, so naturally I have to choose a good name. Since I am a prince born in the first place, it doesn't matter if I am different from others. You are a queen, really. You don’t have to be so cautious about everything.”

"The concubine thanks the emperor for his love, but the concubine feels that since the concubine is the queen, shouldn't she be a role model for concubines of the sixth palace?" What Qingchen was afraid of was that too much favor would bring disaster to the children.

Seeing that she didn't agree with her, and he didn't want to argue with her for a while, the emperor thought about it for a while, then nodded and said, "Let's talk about this later, I'm really worried. With your temperament, you will definitely be a strict mother in the future. I felt sorry for the two children."

Qingchen saw that he was lovingly stroking his lower abdomen, and after he finished speaking, a gentle smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, so he knew that the emperor was not angry, and said angrily: "The emperor is really, the concubine is not a stepmother, how could she treat herself so harshly?" children?

Since the emperor has high hopes for them, what if the concubines don't discipline them well?If the children of ordinary families do not live up to expectations, they are at most prodigal, but if the prince is not successful, wouldn't he destroy the foundation of the ancestors?The emperor worked hard day and night for the great work, so it is natural for the princes to understand the painstaking efforts of the emperor. "

The emperor smiled warmly, rubbed her lips affectionately, asked about the familiar deodorant on her body, and lowered his voice a little distractedly: "Whatever you say, anyway, I can't say anything about you, I can't say anything about you. It's up to you."
