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

Chapter 494 Painful Choice (8)
After a moment of silence, Qingchen asked softly: "Concubine He Gui is gone. No one except me knows that you are pregnant in the cold palace. Do you need me to ask the emperor to let you go out? Or do you want to wait until the childbirth is smooth before telling me?" Your Majesty? I know that the life here is very difficult, if you want to leave, I will go and beg the Emperor for you, even for the sake of the emperor's heir, I think he will forgive you."

But Xin Changzai hastily stopped him and said: "Don't do it, the concubine knows that the empress has good intentions, and also knows that with the favor of the empress today, the emperor will not refuse to answer whatever you ask, but the concubine is just a little concubine. Now, after going out, I don't have the ability to deal with those people's calculations, and the concubine is still willing to stay in this cold palace, at least no one here wants to harm our mother and child, and everything will be discussed after childbirth."

Qing Chen also thought it would be best to do this, seeing that she was willing to do so, he comforted her: "When I go back, I will pick a more diligent girl from my own palace to take care of you, and I will temporarily allocate it from my share for a while. Although it can't be too conspicuous, it won't make you feel wronged too much. It's just that you have to think about some things. Even if you can give birth to a royal heir, it doesn't necessarily mean that you can be as valuable as a mother. A mother must be for yourself If you want to find a good future for your child, if you think about who you want him to follow, maybe this palace can convey it to the emperor for you."

Even if she didn't say these things, Xin Changzai had already expected that even if his position was bestowed by the emperor, he would not be able to keep the child by his side, so he got up and knelt down with tears in his eyes: "Your Majesty is so kind, concubines can't repay you. If the empress does not dislike it, the concubine is willing to send this child to be raised by the empress. Other concubines dare not say it, but if the empress can raise this child, at least our mother and son can meet again."

Qingchen hurriedly got up to help her, but Xin Changzai insisted: "Your Majesty, please agree to the concubine. If you have this child by your side, your position will be more stable, right? This is the only way a concubine can repay her." Empress's way."

Qingchen really didn't think about this issue, and she felt that even if she wanted to raise this child, Xiao Jun might not agree.He has always wanted a child of the two of them, and she is still young, she might be pregnant by God's favor, how could he let her raise someone else's child?

Xin Changzai spoke very frankly, and Qingchen also understood that if this child was brought up by Shu Guiyi or the Queen, not only would it be difficult for Xin Changzai to see the child, he might even lose his life. But always thinking about his biological mother?What's more, once there is a chance to be awarded the Ninth Five-Year Plan in the future, the mother-child relationship separated by a layer will not be as close as the biological mother after all.

Qingchen said gently: "Get up first, let's talk slowly if we have anything to say."

Xin Changzai stood up while supporting her hand, and asked worriedly: "Does your empress despise concubines?"

Qingchen said with a smile: "Why would I despise you, but you also know that my family background is not good. Although the emperor loves you wrongly, but after all, the foundation is shallow. I'm afraid it's not the best choice for a child to follow me."

Xin Changzai hurriedly said: "Your Majesty is worrying too much. This concubine has no ambitions. I just hope that this child can be protected by your Majesty and grow up safely. As for other things, my concubine has self-knowledge and never dares to ask extravagantly."

Qingchen helped her sit on the chair, held her wrist reassuringly, and signaled her not to be impatient, "I believe you, but in fact, if I have a child in the future, I will expect the same from him, and I don't want him to be impatient." How much ability you can have, as long as you are safe and happy, but you have to think carefully about the current situation of this palace. I am already favored at every step. If I add another child, it will be even more favored in the eyes of outsiders Youjia, do you think they will be reconciled? I am now a problem of self-protection, how can I still have the energy to protect your child? If there is any mistake, how can I be worthy of your trust? "

In fact, Xin Changzai really wanted to entrust this child to her, but now, according to her opinion, whether she would like it or not is the second priority, and what she said is also the truth.The more favored a concubine is, the more resentful she is. She understands Qingchen's difficulties. The emperor's favored concubine is beautiful on the surface, but she can't understand the sadness behind her back without being in it.Just like the two of them now, who is in a better situation than the other, in fact, it is not always the case.

Xin Changzai hesitated for a moment, and asked, "What do you mean by the empress?"

Qingchen said softly: "Apart from the empress and Concubine Ning, among the concubines above the fourth rank, there are only Leng Zhaoyi, He Shuyi, Hao Shuyuan and Yao Shuyi, which one do you think is more suitable? Do you have a favorite candidate? "

Xin Chang was obviously shocked when he heard the words, and asked in surprise: "It's only been a summer, are there only a few concubines who are above the fourth rank in this palace? The concubine only heard about it a few days ago Concubine He Gui is dead, so are Concubine Qin and Concubine Xin not there either?"

Qingchen looked down at the mottled black lacquered tabletop, and said with deep eyes: "You can't live without doing evil, if you don't have the intention of harming others, you won't end up like this. In fact, it's not just them, it's the fourth grade Several of the following concubines have been sent down by the emperor, so it’s not surprising that you don’t know about it in the cold palace. It’s better not to talk about them now, and think about your own affairs first.”

Xin Changzai was probably really shocked by Qingchen's words, his complexion was already bad, but now he became more unnatural, and the muscles on his face even twitched a few times uncontrollably, "The concubine is not meddling, It's just that I can't imagine how fierce quarrels have been experienced between the concubines and concubines in the palace in just a few months, that they will all fall like the leaves outside the window when autumn comes."

Qingchen glanced at her lightly: "Do you sympathize with them?"

Xin Chang said with a wry smile: "The concubine sympathizes with them, who will sympathize with the concubine? Besides with my current situation, how can I have the right to sympathize with others?"

After a pause, Xin Changzai said again: "Even though the concubine has no choice but to speak lightly, I still hope to find a good home for the child. Although the Queen and Concubine Ning have high status, the concubine also knows that sooner or later they will be together." Involved in the vortex of competing for the crown prince, I don't want my child to go through that, so the concubine is absolutely unwilling to choose the two of them;
Leng Zhaoyi is Concubine Ning's person, although she can't see any ambitions at the moment, and she doesn't show her innocence on weekdays, but it is precisely because of this that she can't see clearly that concubines dare not entrust their close relatives.

He Shuyi came from a distinguished family and was kind and gentle. The emperor always treated her differently. The concubine always thought that she was the most perfect person in the palace. She also made good friends with the empress. If the concubine Being able to entrust the child to her, even if the concubine dies, she can feel at ease. I'm afraid she thinks that she is still young, and sooner or later she will give birth to an heir for the emperor, and she is unwilling to raise other people's children.

As for Yao Shuyi, in terms of character and family status, although she is comparable to He Shuyi in all aspects, she has a heart disease..."
