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

Chapter 473 The Change of Elbow and Armpit (2)
Qingchen heard what she said was reasonable, so she got up and cleaned her hands, sat next to her Mingfengqin and said: "This song is a bit sad. If it was someone else, I would definitely not play it to her."

It's not because the song is sad, but because of a trust issue. If Gu Manqin's words hadn't touched her with compassion, she would never have played this song in front of others.

Qingchen raised her arm, and lightly plucked the plain string with her jade hand, a long and melancholy piano sound came out from under her fingers, the unforgettable lovesickness, the distress of not getting what she wanted, the tossing and turning, listening to her softly chant along with the sound of the piano: "I People who miss something are far away in the country. I have something to feel, and it is deep in my heart. The country is far away, and I look forward to it every day. I can’t understand it deeply, and I don’t think about it every night. What’s more, in this night with the lamp, I sleep alone In the empty hall. Autumn has not yet dawned, and the wind and rain are in full bloom. If you don’t learn Thutuo, you will never forget it.”

The ending is lingering and pathetic, making people want to stop and heartbroken.

Gu Manqin sat there blankly, with a sad face, but did not dare to look into Qingchen's eyes.

At this time, at the gate of Tonghua Palace, Xiao Jun heard the sound of the piano from the courtyard, and suddenly stopped in her tracks, her fists were clenched tightly, the veins on her forehead were bulging, her face was livid, and her thin lips were tightly pursed. Sound, that sharp gaze seems to be capable of killing people.

A distorted expression began to appear on Fuquan's face, and he secretly groaned in his heart. The emperor's appearance is clearly enduring the rage in his heart. You said that this concubine Rong, she played no music, but this one.She had an inexplicable relationship with Qin Zishuo, so it's fine if the emperor doesn't care about it, but now he still says, "I miss someone, but I live far away. I can't go far away, and I look forward to it every day." It is clearly saying that she has never forgotten him, and misses him day and night. Can the emperor not be angry when he hears this?

She went out to meet Qin Zishuo's subordinates last night. It's not that the emperor didn't know, but he just pretended not to know. The emperor cared so much about her safety. How could he not know that she sneaked out in the middle of the night?The emperor knew exactly what Qin Zishuo was up to, he just turned a blind eye, but now it seems that this concubine's thoughts are really not on the emperor, so it's no wonder that the emperor is angry.

Among the concubines in the palace, she is the most favored, even if it is a stone, it should have been warmed long ago, but this concubine's mind is really stubborn.

Xiao Jun snorted coldly, flung her sleeves and strode away, Fu Quan glanced into the Tonghua Palace again, clicked twice and quickly followed the emperor to leave.

But the people inside didn't know that the emperor had already come. Seeing that Gu Manqin had been in a daze, Qingchen thought she was missing her relatives, so she comforted her: "Although we are both in the capital, my sister can't go out of the palace to meet her family." See, but it’s good to know they’re safe, isn’t it? Even the empress, it’s impossible to summon someone when she wants to see them. Except for seeing Lord Lin in the court hall during the New Year’s and holidays, not at other times Are you not allowed to meet your relatives like everyone else? If you want to open up, sister, don't get bored because of this."

Gu Manqin avoided her concerned gaze, looked down at the "Three Lanes of Plum Blossoms" in her hand and said, "The fragrance of plum blossoms comes from the bitter cold, and you've already made it through, but how long will I have to suffer? You do things at least I can obey my own heart, but I have never been able to help myself. Sometimes I also think that even if I change places with you, I may not be as favored as you are, because our two hearts are different, and our fate is natural. It won't be the same. There are so many concubines in the palace who come from aristocratic families, and there are many who end up in a miserable end. When I think about it, I have nothing to complain about."

Qingchen didn't understand Gu Manqin's words. I don't know if she was unhappy because of something troublesome, or if she was scolded by the queen again. In short, seeing her so sad, she felt a little uncomfortable, "No matter what my sister encounters, In this red wall, no one's life is easy, everyone is the same, it's just to see who can survive the other."

Gu Manqin nodded lightly, and the two chatted about other topics. Seeing that it was getting late outside, and seeing that it was already time for dinner, but the emperor hadn't come over yet, the guilt in Gu Manqin's eyes deepened, Standing up, she said, "It's getting dark, I should go back. Caiping brought back a lot of fresh walnuts and chestnuts from the big kitchen. I made pastries some other day and gave you some to try."

Qingchen hurriedly got up to send them off, and then asked Jin Xin to get a lantern to illuminate Gu Manqin, and personally sent her out of the palace and said: "Although the cakes made by my sister are delicious, but now my sister is the emperor's concubine, so it is always like this." It’s not good to cook by yourself, so don’t let the servants around you look down on it. It’s fresh once or twice, and people will gossip after a long time.”

Gu Manqin didn't seem to care about her words, and said softly: "They all know my background, and it's not the first day that they look down on me. Apart from doing these trivial things, what else can I do for you? As long as you like it, even if you like it every day If you want me to make it for you to eat, I am also happy."

The last sentence seems to have been said by Sang Wanrong, but when it comes from Gu Manqin's mouth, it is obviously much more true than from Sang Wanrong. Qingchen pulled the cloak on her and said: "Then thank you sister, tonight Liang, sister, go back quickly."

Gu Manqin also said: "Then I'm leaving, you should go back quickly."

Red Polygonum carefully illuminated Gu Manqin, and the master and servant walked not too slowly, and soon reached the open space of the imperial garden. Seeing that there was no one around, Red Polygonum asked in a low voice: "Miss, did you meet before?" Have you ever played that song by Concubine Rong?"

Gu Manqin hummed softly, "I found out by accident when I was in the Lotus Wind Palace. The empress forced me to attack her, but you also know that she is always cautious. What can I think of to deal with her? Today is also a coincidence. Even if she's unlucky."

Hong Liao paused, but couldn't help but said: "The young master seems to have no intention of doing this, but he has ruined the emperor's favor for her."

Gu Manqin sighed helplessly, feeling uncomfortable in her heart, "I don't want to do this either, but at least it won't kill her, and I can do business with the empress, right?"

Hong Liao wanted to ruin the favor of a concubine, and it was no different from taking her life, it would only make her life worse than death.But she didn't dare to say this, she just murmured in her heart.

Sure enough, the closest person stabbed the most ruthless knife. So many people in this palace used so many insidious methods, but they couldn't hurt Concubine Rong at all, but my young master only used this song to make Concubine Rong She fell out of favor easily.
