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

Chapter 136 Don't Say Thank You

After Ye Wanrong left, Qingchen went back to the palace to eat breakfast and then went to the palace of the Empress Dowager, the Empress Dowager was paying respects to the Buddha in the Buddhist hall, so I can't disturb you for the time being, so she waited in the courtyard.Qia's son Xiao Jue was also there, and when Qing Chen saw him, he hurried up to pay his respects: "My concubine has seen Your Highness."

Xiao Jue smiled lightly, and asked in a warm and casual voice: "Why be so polite, it's not the first time we've met, is Zhen Wanyi so cautious in front of anyone?"

Qingchen bowed his head and said: "The palace is a place where rules are respected. It is not surprising that there are many people. Your Highness has saved concubines and concubines in distress many times. I am afraid that this kind of great kindness will not be repaid in this life. I only hope to get married in the next life." Grass title ring to repay His Highness."

Xiao Jue seemed very afraid of hearing such words, and quickly waved his hands, "Why do you say it so seriously, no one would stand by and watch in that situation, fortunately you are fine. Zhen Wanyi sees me in the future, please don't If you look grateful again, even if you don't feel uncomfortable, I will feel uncomfortable. As a person, nature is the most important word when I get along with others. If the two are not in an equal position, it will be boring after all. "

Standing behind a bonsai bush in the porch, he was dressed in a moon-white Shu brocade costume, with a dark green jade pendant around his waist, and a gold purse with a picture of auspicious clouds, flowers and birds on a blue background, and a red gold coiled dragon crown on his head. , the gentle and indifferent tone is like his whole temperament, it sounds indescribably ironic.

Qingchen stood under the steps in the courtyard and looked at him, not knowing how to answer. He said equality, but how could there be such a thing as equality in this strictly hierarchical palace?However, she admired his kindness very much, so she couldn't help but look at him twice more. Seeing his gentle smile, she suddenly avoided his gaze. Even though Xiao Jue's eyes were open and open, she still felt a little uncomfortable. Staring at a handsome man for too long will eventually make your heart beat faster.

Xiao Jue stepped down the steps, casually took the scissors placed on the edge of a pot of camellias, and said casually while trimming the branches: "Zhen Wanyi always seems to have some bad things happening recently, but she is getting higher and higher. I really don't know whether to congratulate you or sympathize with you."

Qingchen saw that he didn't seem to be very good at taking care of the camellia, and even cut off the branches with buds several times, but he didn't know whether to stop him, so he had to follow his words: "Congratulations or sympathy, It depends on everyone's state of mind, right? Some people think I'm lucky, some people think I'm pitiful, and now even I don't know what kind of mood I should be in."

Xiao Jue was slightly surprised, turned her head to look at her and asked thoughtfully, "Why are you not happy?"

Qingchen looked at the pot of tea plums in front of him and said with a faint smile: "In the past when I was studying, I saw eight words, 'Don't be happy with things, don't be sad with yourself', I don't quite understand what kind of state it is. It is not too much to use these words to describe my mood now. I am not a gentleman of high moral character, nor am I open-minded. It is just because I have no ties to the relatives of the previous dynasty, so gains and losses are not so important to me. Besides, I am not a person who has not experienced poverty, such days are not so terrible, but my mood is more peaceful."

Xiao Jue was still holding the scissors in his hand, and the scissors were placed on a camellia flower in full bloom in a daze, and he asked with some doubts: "Could it be that what you are asking for is not what you really want?" need?"

Qingchen's eyes still did not leave the pot of tea plums in front of him, looking at the delicate flowers, he said in a flat tone: "I only want to be safe for myself and the people around me, what else is important?"

It's one thing to fight and not to fight, but another thing to feel about gains and losses. Even if she is flattered or humiliated, she will fight with all her strength. This is not contradictory.What you want and what you really want don't necessarily have to be the same thing.Even if it is a woman in the palace, who doesn't yearn for a sincere heart?It's just that if you can't ask for it, you can only fight for the so-called honor and favor for the family, and you can't help yourself.
