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

Chapter 166 Golden Flower Rouge
A gentle and calm smile hangs on her face, but the empress feels pain like a knife in her heart. Xiao Ronghua is pregnant, and although Ye Guirong has a miscarriage, she has conceived an heir after all, and now even Concubine He Gui has a child.Only she, the queen of the middle palace, has no news so far.What if she is a queen without any heirs?Dozens of years later, the power has fallen, and she can only have a miserable evening.

The empress was bitter in her heart, and she unconsciously clenched the armrest of the golden nanmu phoenix chair. Xiao Ronghua's rank was low, it didn't matter, he couldn't threaten her for the time being, but what about Concubine He Gui?After becoming a concubine, who would have expected what kind of situation she would face?The heirs of concubines have always been the biggest threat to the unfavored queen.

No matter what her emotions are, the empress never shows it on her face, so naturally she can't see her sincerity, Qingchen bowed her head and smiled shyly, "Thank you empress empress for your kind words, it would be great if my concubine is really blessed like that."

Qin Guifei took a look at her makeup, then smiled and asked: "This spring, the rouge tribute from the foreign domain has arrived again. In the past, Luo Zidai and Nian Nujiao were the most precious. It is said that this year there is another kind of golden flower rouge. I wonder if you have heard of it? "

Concubine Ning thought for a while and said: "I have heard a little about Jinhua rouge. I heard that it is extremely difficult to cultivate this kind of rouge flowers in the Western Regions. You need to use ebony and agarwood wood chips mixed with gold powder and secret spices to make the soil. Only when it is irrigated with fresh snow water, can it bloom rich and fragrant flowers. As the saying goes, "Half a square of ebony in a house is better than a box of treasures." One can imagine how precious the flowers for making rouge are cultivated."

The queen also nodded and said: "Although Luo Zidai and Nian Nujiao are precious, they are not very rare, but this golden flower rouge is hard to find, even if it is in the place of production, except for the concubines and princesses who are favored by the royal family, I am afraid that it is not easy. People have seen it."

Lin Wanyi seemed to be very interested and said: "Then can the empress show it to the concubines to see and see, so as to open their eyes?"

The queen smiled and said: "I am used to Nian Nujiao, but I am not used to the scent of other rouges. There are only two boxes in total. I heard that the emperor gave them all to Zhen Wanyi. I don't know if Zhen Wanyi can use them." ?”

Feng Wanrong, who was sitting next to her, suddenly realized with a smile: "No wonder I smell a faint fragrance from Zhen Wanyi these days, which is more like the fragrance of natural flowers, not like the fragrance of cosmetics we usually use, but So it’s the precious golden flower rouge?”

Cold sweat broke out in Qingchen's palms. After all, the topic came back to her again, and she couldn't hide it no matter what. Looking at the disdainful or jealous eyes of everyone, how should she answer so as not to cause more trouble? Jealousy?After thinking about it for a while, she tried her best to maintain a gentle smile, and said softly: "I seldom used makeup before, I only know that Nian Nujiao is very good, presumably it is not enough this year, the emperor put this golden flower rouge Reward the concubine."

Although these words are self-effacing, they will inevitably feel a little hypocritical in the ears of others. Before she finished speaking, she heard Shu concubine's cold voice. She couldn't see her expression from a distance, but she could still imagine Concubine Shu's expression now said, "Even if Zhen Wanyi is favored by the emperor, she can't pamper others at will. Beauty Li just broke a pair of your bottles, so you will punish her to kneel in Lan Ruoxuan for two hours and not get up. It must have been too cruel."

Qingchen knew that it would be a matter of time before the concubine would stand up for Li Meiren, so she knew it, so she replied calmly: "The concubine punished her because it was something given by the emperor, and the concubine can't explain to the emperor. The emperor loves her and has not pursued the matter."

Sang Wanrong suddenly thought of something, and casually smiled at Concubine Shu: "Beauty Li deserves to be punished for breaking something that was bestowed by the imperial court. Is it possible that she should be rewarded? I think Zhen Wanyi just accidentally stepped on Concubine Shu Compared with the penalty of kneeling in the imperial garden for two hours, Zhen Wanyi is much more merciful."
