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

Chapter 505 The Cunning Emperor (3)
Holding the medicine bowl, Qingchen didn't see joy at all, instead his face was filled with sorrow, "Since it's almost healed, this medicine...doesn't it need to be taken?"

She was very unassuming as she talked to herself, and Jin Xin couldn't help but chuckle, "If you don't want to take this medicine, you can take the pills sent by His Royal Highness? Dissolve it with water... Actually, it's no different from taking soup and medicine." ..."

Now even Yun Lan couldn't help laughing, "Your Majesty, please bear with it, after taking two or three doses, it's time to stop taking the medicine. I've been taking it for so many days, and it's not too bad."

Qingchen frowned, obviously very reluctant, until Jinxin and Jinxiu came over with a gargle cup and a candied fruit, and she sighed helplessly, and drank the bowl of concoction full of sorrow and joy. do.

At the moment when she was taking the medicine, Xiao Jun was in Chengkun Palace listening to the queen's details about the birthday banquet. Regarding these matters, the queen and Concubine Ning had always handled these matters very well, so he listened a little absent-mindedly.

It wasn't until the queen had finished speaking that he was pleased and praised: "The queen is very thoughtful, I am very relieved, but there is one thing that I want to discuss with the queen. Concubine Rong couldn't bear it because of Shu Guiyi's matter before." Don't feel wronged, it's because I didn't investigate, I always feel ashamed of her, so I want to take this opportunity to make up for it, I want to promote her position again, what does the queen think?"

The queen was unprepared for the sudden incident, the expression on her face froze instantly, as if her chest was blocked by a breath, and she couldn't say a word for a long time.

Xiao Jun pretended not to notice the queen's reaction, picked up the tea on the table and looked down at the foam in the cup, and took a few sips carefully, giving the queen enough time to adapt to his decision.

The queen's hand, which was hidden under the table, kept shaking, the corners of her mouth twitched a few times, and finally she managed to put on a gentle smile and said to the emperor: "The concubine also thinks that Concubine Rong is very sensible and considerate. If it were someone else, the emperor loved her so much, and he didn't know what would happen? Shu Guiyi did so many wrong things and wronged her, and the concubines couldn't bear it, so they rewarded her generously. Since the emperor intends to ask Jin Yi To promote her position, how about giving her a concubine first? A concubine must have great merit, and the emperor may not accept such a heavy favor suddenly, and she will reward her when she gives birth to an heir in the future It's not too late, I don't know what the emperor wants?"

Now there is only one Concubine Ning in the harem, Xiao Jun originally wanted to give it to a concubine, but hearing what the Queen said, he couldn't force it, so he nodded and said: "Alright, let's give it to a noble concubine first. Let her be happy when the decree is issued on her birthday."

The empress gritted her teeth secretly, feeling extremely angry in her heart, thinking that since the emperor wanted to surprise her, she would naturally give Concubine Rong a generous gift, just because she was afraid that she would not be able to bear it.

Thinking about the person she was holding in her hand, the empress felt relieved, and she forced herself to restrain her inner emotions and said in a warm voice: "There are so many concubines in the palace, but concubine Rong is the most blessed one. Her birthday is on the same day, although she was lonely and helpless since she was a child, but meeting the emperor, wouldn't it be the greatest blessing from heaven for her?"

The emperor smiled noncommittally, got up and said: "The queen will have to work hard these few days. If you and Concubine Ning are too busy, let Leng Zhaoyi or Hao Shuyuan help. I still have something to do. I will go back to the imperial study first. Come back to drink tea with the queen when you are free."

The queen hurriedly got up and followed out of the Nuan Pavilion, until she reached the door, she blessed her body and said: "The concubine sends the emperor respectfully."

Seeing that the emperor was gone, Zheyue returned to the Nuan Pavilion while supporting the queen's hand, then whispered: "Your Majesty, do you think you want to take that girl into the palace?"

The queen's heart was heavy and helpless, her complexion was extremely bad, and she said with some melancholy: "It is indeed time, if this continues, Concubine Rong may become the second concubine Shu, I should find someone A share of her grace."

Xiao Jun left Chengkun Palace, saw that it was already time for dinner, so she changed her mind and went to Xihe Palace.

Qingchen didn't expect that the emperor would come over suddenly at dinner time, and hurriedly ordered the small kitchen to add more dishes. Fortunately, the small kitchen is well prepared today, so there is no need to rush to get the ingredients.Both Jin Xin and Jin Xiu went to help in the kitchen, leaving only Yun Lan in the room to serve.

Xiao Jun tore off the tie of the neckline of the cloak, took off her clothes and casually handed it to her and asked, "Why hasn't the meal been served at this time? Are you not planning to eat well again? Or are the servants seeing that you don't use much on weekdays?" , just be lazy and perfunctory and prepare some soup for you?"

Qingchen put the thin cloud brocade cloak with the wishful cloud pattern of Tuanfu on the hanger at the side, turned around and took the tea that Yunlan handed over, and presented it in person, "Your Majesty, drink a cup of hot tea to warm up your body first, servants I would never dare to be lazy, but the concubine didn't go out very much these days, and the dinner was scarce, so I told them not to prepare as they used to. I never thought that the emperor would arrive suddenly, and the concubine was a little caught off guard. .”

Xiao Jun took a sip of tea, put down her teacup and raised her hand to unbutton one of her necklines. The heat in her room made him uncomfortable.He is a person who is resistant to cold but not heat, and Qingchen has a cold body, even though the room is so warm, her hands are still a little cold.

"I came out of the Queen's Palace. I wanted to go back to the imperial study, but I wanted to see you, so I came here directly. In fact, there is no need to deliberately prepare it. It's just a dinner. It's good to be as casual as before...as usual .”

Xiao Jun held her in his arms, but didn't dare to use force, for fear of hurting her wound, "When you were young... some children, no matter how hard they were bumped, as long as they didn't bleed, they wouldn't be afraid of pain, but as long as they saw blood, Even if it is just scratched, I will cry endlessly in fright, so it's not that I don't know how to protect myself."

Xiao Jun's words stopped here suddenly, and she gently wiped her forehead with her chin, and closed her eyes slightly. Such a person who is afraid of blood must have so much courage and deep hatred, so that he will not hesitate to let people in Are you willing to poke a hole in yourself?He was angry, but even more distressed.

Qingchen listened to what he said without thinking, and suddenly lost the text, and couldn't help but raised his head and asked: "And then?"

He was probably thinking about what he would say next, so he looked forward to asking, but Xiao Jun suddenly got stuck, coughed twice and made up casually: "On the way here, I suddenly remembered that Prince Bao Fujin Bringing the little daughter into the palace to greet the Queen Mother, seeing Yunhan's cute little appearance, and not crying when she falls, I really like it from the bottom of my heart, but in fact, the girl also has her cuteness, why do you have to be the prince?"

Qingchen lowered her eyes as if feeling a bit disappointed, and said softly: "The concubine also wants to have a child, but there are always so many disasters and eight disasters, how can I give birth to an heir for the emperor? In fact, the concubine also likes girls My son, as long as it is my own child, my concubine will love it equally, but there is no such blessing."
