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

Chapter 1277: Concubine Li's Dark Trick (24)
The home-cooked food at her side has always been his favorite. Seeing the hot food on the table and the three chattering children around him, the emperor was suddenly satisfied with the feeling of going home.

He looked at the white jade tofu on the table, and suddenly remembered what Concubine Li had said before, and he couldn't help snorting, he is the emperor, and sitting beside him are his most beloved woman and child, don't say that the queen is not that extravagant Even if it is, so what?Could it be that he, the majestic king of a country, wants his wife and children to not even have a decent meal?
Seeing that his expression was different, Qingchen asked softly: "What's wrong with the emperor, but is the food tonight not to your liking?"

Xiao Jun shook her hand and said with a smile: "No, you know, I like your food the most. Oh, by the way, Sangzhou Weaving Mansion has recently presented a batch of high-quality organdy. I will send people to you to make more cool gauze clothes for you and the children. Also, has Si Zhenfang not made jewelry for you for a long time? You are the queen, and the jewelry of the four seasons is sold every year. To make new ones, the harem doesn’t have a lot of expenses now, so there’s really no need to be frugal about it, it’s your queen’s dignity, and you can’t save it.”

Qingchen knew that he was here to show his favor, and he was unhappy, so he used an excuse to serve him soup, quietly pulled out his hand, and said in a calm tone: "There are still many concubines here, give it to the children. It is enough to make clothes, so why don't you give them to the sisters in the palaces to make clothes. As for jewelry, since it is the rule in the palace, Si Zhenfang dare not neglect, the jewelry for this summer has already been delivered. It's just that the concubine didn't wear it much."

The emperor saw that although the corners of her mouth were curled up, she spoke softly, but only because of the coldness in her eyes, she knew she was still angry. Maybe because of Rong'er's life experience that day, she felt that he didn't believe her, which hurt her heart.No wonder he didn't come these days, and she refused to ask anyone to invite him, and even the children were not allowed to get close to him. With this temperament, if she refused to accommodate today, she might remain so indifferent.

Halfway through the meal, Xiao Jun laughed again: "Yesterday I drank fresh lotus seed tea, and then I realized that the lotus seeds in the lake are edible. The lotus seed porridge you make here is very good, I..."

Qingchen interrupted him and said: "The concubine is ready tomorrow, and I will send it to the emperor."

Xiao Jun didn't expect her to say that, she was stunned, but she still cheekily apologized and said with a smile: "It doesn't need to be so troublesome, I will come over for lunch tomorrow, you just have to prepare."

Seeing her drooping eyes, the emperor turned his head in embarrassment and asked the prince and princess: "From now on, the emperor will come to accompany you to eat every day, okay?"

The two children hurriedly said, "Okay."

Jinghan asked again: "Isn't the father very busy recently? Wouldn't it be a waste of time to come here every day?"

The emperor blinked at her and said, "No matter how busy you are, the emperor still needs to eat."

Jing Han looked at the emperor, and asked bluntly: "Then why didn't father come here a few days ago?"

The emperor glanced at the queen's expression, and seeing that she didn't hear, he picked up a chopsticks dish and put it in the prince's bowl, and said with a sneer: "Father was really busy and tired a few days ago, well, are you hungry?" Have you eaten more, I have your favorite pearl balls today."

After dinner, the emperor seemed to have no intention of leaving. He entered the Xinuang Pavilion and dismissed the waiters in the room. While drinking tea, he had nothing to say: "The pots of jasmine in your room are very good. Fragrant, but there is no need to use incense.”

"A few days ago, Jinghan and Yixuan couldn't sleep well, and it was not suitable to burn incense in the house on a hot day, so the concubine went to the flower house to ask for a few pots of jasmine. The jasmine fragrance calms the nerves, and Jinghan also likes this fragrance , the concubines have been left unreplaced."

The emperor felt a little embarrassed, so he lowered his head to drink tea. The two children had suffered such a great grievance. As a father, he really owed them a little.

The queen's tone of voice was not cold, but it was not as gentle as in the past, which always made him feel a little alienated.

The wind blowing from the lake was strong, and the window sash was blown open and closed erratically. Qingchen saw that there was no one waiting in the house, so he went to close the north window himself.

She stretched out her hand to close the diamond window sash, before she could turn around, she was tightly wrapped into his arms by the emperor himself. He rested his chin on her shoulder and asked softly, "Are you still angry with me?" What? I know that I shouldn't be suspicious of you that day, and I also know that Yixuan and Jinghan have suffered a lot of grievances, but it's all over now, isn't it, please forgive me, okay?"

Qingchen had no words, and he didn't know what to say. After so many years of knowing each other, he still suspected that she would step on Rong'er to the end for the sake of the prince. He doubted her intentions, how could she not be disappointed?
Seeing that she was silent, Xiao Jun sighed softly and said: "Chen'er, you have to think about my feelings too. For so many years, Rong'er has been calling my father the emperor. Before he knew the truth, he was also my prince. I don't pursue the prince's fault for his death, and I feel that I owe him. I really never thought that He Changzai would do such a disgraceful thing after living in the harem. If there is no real evidence, I can't believe it, let alone understand, what is it that makes her risk being punished by the nine clans to do such a thing?"

The emperor couldn't understand it, but Qingchen knew very well what He Changzai was doing for it. Even if a mother would not be as expensive as a mother in the future, at least she would have something to rely on when she was old, so she wouldn't have to live in the narrow room of Yongxiang like the concubines of the former emperor. Here, live that kind of dark life.

"Your Majesty, it's getting late, you should go back." The knot in her heart cannot be eliminated by his apology in a few words, and she has no intention to forgive anyone's difficulty.The woman in this palace, even if she is a queen, not everything goes well.

Xiao Jun saw that she refused to forgive, so she hugged her even tighter, "I won't leave, I will stay here with you tonight, husband and wife have no overnight feud, I have apologized to you, don't you want to stay here for the rest of your life?" see me?"

"The concubine didn't dare, but felt that the emperor didn't trust the concubine anymore. Over the years, the concubine had experienced many things, but she still believed in the emperor. But since when, the emperor has become suspicious of the concubine."

She sighed softly, and said with a wry smile: "Could it be that because the concubine is the empress and is in charge of the power of life and death in the harem, does the emperor feel jealous in his heart? The emperor must have thought before that this is the concubine using the power in his hand to lay down the law." The purpose of this game is to sacrifice Rong'er again to wash away the mistakes made by the prince, right?"

He really thought so before, but now he couldn't admit it no matter what, and it would only make her feel even more chilled.

The emperor rubbed her cheek in a fawning manner, and hugged her even tighter, "Chen'er, I won't doubt you anymore, no matter what you do, I will trust you."

(I am so obedient to satisfy you...)
