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

Chapter 1293: Concubine Li's Dark Trick (40)
Xiao Jun didn't let go of his hand, leaned on the kang and said warmly: "I'm not hungry, I just want to sit quietly with you for a while, talk to you, hug you, I feel a lot more relaxed. "

Qingchen signaled Qinxue to go out to serve the emperor supper with his eyes, and then discussed with him: "The meaning of the concubine is that since Concubine Li can't be touched now, don't investigate Xiao Jieyu's matter for the time being, anyway. Sooner or later, there will be a day when Concubine Li confesses. She has a lot of minions in the palace, if she finds out that the emperor is secretly investigating this matter and pushes her, I'm afraid there will be trouble again."

The emperor replied indifferently: "You are right. If that is the case, then don't let outsiders know the cause of Xiao Jieyu's death for the time being. Just declare to the outside world that she slipped and drowned. It will also save her face."

"Yes, the concubine knows." Although he had no appetite, Qingchen persuaded the emperor to eat some more bird's nest porridge before helping him to wash and go to bed.

Concubine Zhuang's funeral was held in a very grand manner. Lin Guiyi was relieved because she did not hold anyone accountable. I couldn't find any faults, but the more this happened, the more convinced Qingchen was that his thoughts were right, and Concubine Zhuang's death must have something to do with her.

But Qingchen didn't press her to ask her anything right away, just wait, anyway, it won't be long before the truth comes out.

I thought Qi'er would be dissatisfied with the result of this kind of handling. After all, he is still a child. Some honors can be bought by adults, but it may not be effective for children. But unexpectedly, Qi'er not only did not make a big fuss Instead, after Concubine Zhuang's funeral, she stopped interacting with other people, closed the door and only concentrated on studying, and practiced horseback riding and archery even harder than before.

He was originally a lively and active child. Perhaps Concubine Zhuang's death had hit him too hard. Since then, he has become taciturn. Even the homework that he usually doesn't pay much attention to, now he has made up his mind to study hard. Asking about foreign affairs, both civil and military, even the New Year's reunion banquet was sick and did not attend.

Qingchen sent people to visit several times, but the emperor persuaded her: "Let him go, when his knot is resolved, naturally he won't be so awkward again."

She is not afraid of being awkward, but from Qi'er's energy in studying hard and practicing martial arts, she can clearly see Qi'er's intentions. He has made up his mind to compete with Yixuan for the crown prince.

On the day of the Lantern Festival, Mu Mansion sent someone to pick Wanyue back to celebrate the festival. Jinghan had been looking forward to it getting dark from early in the morning, and then he could light lanterns and set off fireworks.

In exchange for being able to set off a few fireworks with her own hands at night, she finally changed into the little skirt the queen had prepared for her, and even made an exception and agreed to wear a long bun.

Qingchen happily dressed up her daughter, and specially gave her a fringed hairpin with pearls and golden flowers hanging on it. Looking at the cute little person in the mirror, Qingchen asked her: "How does this look?" Is it more beautiful? Is it better than your boys' dress?"

Jinghan shook her little head, and the pearls and golden flowers hanging by her ears swayed slightly. Even though she was a child, she was extremely touching.

All the girls in the room were full of praise. In order to let her change back into a daughter's outfit, they even deliberately made her exaggerate. Jinghan held up her skirt, walked around the room a few times, and said: " I'm going out to play, get me my cloak."

Everyone was a little disappointed, it was less than a quarter of an hour before she was a lady, and she was about to go crazy again.

Yun Lan put on the black fox fur cloak with the big red feather veil on her, and wrapped her a white fox fur scarf, and said: "Princess, come back quickly after going out for a walk, the weather is cloudy today. It's heavy, and the wind is extremely cold, I'm afraid it's going to snow at night, princess, don't get cold from playing, otherwise you won't be able to light the lanterns and set off the fireworks."

Jinghan nodded, "I know, I won't go far."

In the early morning, she ordered Qinxue and Jinyu to follow her, but when Jinghan went out, she went straight to the imperial study.

Xiao Wuzi was on duty in the corridor, and saw her running from a distance, his eyes lit up, he hurriedly came up to meet her with a smile, looked at her a few times and said, "Hey princess, is the sun coming out from the west today? Dressed up, it looks like the golden boy and jade girl in the painting."

Jinghan asked with a smile: "Where is the father, is he busy now, can he see me?"

The little fifth son hurriedly said: "Princess, wait a moment, the servant will go in and report to you."

Jinghan was waiting on the porch, and the little five came out soon after entering, and said, "Princess, go in quickly, don't freeze outside, the weather is really bad today."

As he said that, he stepped aside to make way for Jinghan to enter the imperial study. When he arrived at the Dongnuang Pavilion, the emperor turned his head and saw her wearing a begonia-colored gold thread peach blossom cloud brocade dress, deerskin suede boots on her feet, and a red feather gauze The black fox fur lining the cloak, the white fox fur scarf around the neck has no trace of variegation, and the little white face is as cute as a pink carving.

The first time he saw her wearing a girl's outfit, the emperor looked at her carefully with a smile, held her cool little face that was a little flushed by the wind and asked, "Why do you suddenly think of wearing a girl's outfit today? You look like this." , it reminds father of your mother when she was a child, it's so cold outside, why did you come running here, why didn't you ask someone to prepare the sedan chair?"

"My daughter doesn't like to sit in a sedan chair." As Jing Han said, she had already taken off the scarf around her neck and threw it on the warm Kang. Said: "Father, will you set off fireworks with us at night? The queen mother will definitely not play with us, cousin Wanyue has also returned home, and it's just me and brother Huang, how boring is it?

Today is the Lantern Festival. I heard that folk parents will take their children to the streets to watch lanterns, guess lantern riddles, and set off firecrackers to watch fireworks. Cousin Wanyue can definitely go out with her aunt, but my brother and I can’t go out. If you don't play with us, it's no fun. "

As a prince and princess, they don't have the freedom of ordinary people. Looking at the pleading little daughter, the emperor naturally understood her envy for Wanyue, and couldn't bear to refuse, so he agreed: "Okay, after the dinner, Father will go with you to set off fireworks in the imperial garden. But when there is no one around, you are not allowed to touch those things secretly, it is too dangerous, do you understand?"

Seeing that her goal had been achieved, Jing Han nodded obediently, "Don't worry, Father, I will listen to Father."

The emperor looked at her again, and said with a smile: "The little dress your mother made for you is very good, so let's wear a daughter's dress from now on, isn't it good?"

Jinghan was noncommittal, turned her head to look at the decorations in the emperor's study boredly, saw that she had nothing to do, and was afraid that she would catch cold when she went out to play, so the emperor ordered someone to bring pens and ink and let her practice calligraphy on the small table. Find her something to do.

(Since you are all looking forward to Concubine Li's death so much, then I will let her die quickly...)
