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

Chapter 525: Many Traps (15)
Xiao Jun leaned over to help her, wiped away the tears on her face with her sleeves, and coaxed gently: "Since you and I are husband and wife, we are not in a hurry at this moment. After you learn the rules, the queen mother will not be in a hurry." It will be difficult for you. Of course, if you really don't want to learn, I can also specially grant you that you don't have to abide by these cumbersome and annoying regulations, but you are a concubine, and you must set an example for everyone in the harem, otherwise how can you persuade me in the future? Those concubines below?"

Concubine Li obediently snuggled into the emperor's arms, hugged him quietly, and said with infinite attachment: "The concubine understands the emperor's painstaking efforts, but the concubine is just a little bit reluctant to part with the emperor. After leaving for many years, is it true that the emperor really doesn't care at all?" Don't you miss your concubine? Just forget your concubine like this?"

Xiao Jun asked coldly: "When you saw Concubine Rong at the banquet that day, what did you say? You know that I miss you, why do you still say that?"

Concubine Li still acted coquettishly and said: "Is the concubine just not reconciled? Although the concubine has forgotten many things these years, she has never forgotten the emperor. It's just that because of her status, she feels ashamed and can't come to the emperor. My concubine is always afraid that the emperor will forget the relationship with my concubine when I was a child."

Xiao Jun's voice sounded a little erratic, and she glanced at the dark night outside the door, and said in a low tone: "Even if I forget myself, I will not forget Wanyi. If you don't understand my heart, don't talk nonsense."

Concubine Li didn't understand the deep meaning in his words, although he was a little disappointed that he refused to stay, but she didn't dare to offend him, so she said softly: "As long as the emperor has a concubine in his heart, the concubine will be satisfied."

Coming out of Bixiao Palace, Fuquan held an umbrella for the emperor and asked: "Your Majesty, which empress palace are you going to go to tonight? Or go directly to Fuxi Palace."

Going straight back to Fuxi Palace means going straight back to the Emperor's bedroom, not planning to summon anyone.It was raining heavily, Fuquan's clothes were soon drenched half of his body by the rain dripping from the edge of the umbrella, the emperor saw that the palace gate of Xihe Palace was ajar, and said with a smile: "Come closer, I don't want to get drenched in the rain. "

Fuquan hurriedly responded, "Yes, the servant understands."

The reason why Qingchen didn't let people unlock it so late was because Xiao Jun would often come over late at night before, she was used to waiting for him, and the little eunuch guarding the gate in this palace was also used to locking the door later.

There were footsteps outside, she just thought it was Jin Xin walking and didn't pay attention, and soon heard the rustling sound of undressing, and when she opened her eyes, she saw Xiao Jun pressing down with her cold body, stroking her forehead and asking : "Why haven't you slept yet? Jin Xin said you are not feeling well, but did you have a fever again?"

Although he has already taken off his coat, his body is still smeared with such a strong fragrance of powder. It is not necessary to think that it is the fragrance of Concubine Li. Qingchen tried his best to hide his disgust for this fragrance in his heart, so that he would not notice anything. .Sitting up, Xiao Jun hurriedly took the cloak on the bedside and wrapped it around her, "I saw that you came in to see you before you locked the door, do you feel better?"

"It's better, but Concubine Li's singing is so beautiful that the concubine couldn't fall asleep listening to it, and kept counting the stars with her eyes closed. It's just that it's raining heavily outside, why doesn't the emperor stay in Bixiao Palace? Concubine Li will be there tomorrow." Sad, the concubine is not afraid of her blaming her, but worried that the emperor will catch a cold."

Xiao Jun clicked tut twice, with a bit of apology on her face, leaned over and took her into her arms and sneered, "You're so sharp-tongued when you're sick, and you don't know how to laugh at me when you get better." Well. It’s all my fault for making you rest, since she refuses to move to Duanyang Palace, when you get better, I will let you move there, so that I will be closer to you.”

Qingchen couldn't help laughing out loud. Concubine Li moved to Bixiao Palace obviously to scare her off. If she moved to Duanyang Palace, Concubine Li would live alone in this eerie place. Get angry?
But Duanyang Palace is indeed a good place, besides, it is far away from Concubine Li, so Qingchen would be more than happy to do it, otherwise the singing and dancing in Bixiao Palace will torture people to death.

"The concubine would like to thank the emperor for his compassion. Would the emperor choose a good day for the concubine?"

Xiao Jun didn't expect her to agree so soon, she thought it was true, the two lived so close, she was in a bad mood after all, so she said: "Then three days later, I will send someone to clean it up tomorrow. After a while, put a few more braziers to drive away the cold before you move there, and your cold should be better by then. The air over there is warm, so you can survive the winter even if you are so chilly.”

"Then the concubine will thank you." Qingchen lay down and moved a little away from him, "The concubine is still sick, the emperor shouldn't have come here, what should I do if the emperor is overwhelmed by illness?"

Xiao Jun hugged her, wrapped her in his arms, wrapped the quilt tightly and said softly: "Sleep, I'm not afraid of a little wind and cold."

The wind and rain outside the window were violent, and the raindrops were blown to the window by the wind, crackling and knocking hard, making her feel cold all over, but fortunately, he was there, and she slept very warmly and comfortably as he was a big heater.

When I got up early in the morning, the rain stopped at some point, and snow particles started to fall outside. The yard had already accumulated a thin layer, which was wet and slippery. Fuquan had already sent the little eunuch to fetch clean clothes for the emperor, and sent him to put them on Before leaving, Qingchen told Fuquan again: "Slow down on the road, the wind is so cold, and I will prepare a cup of hot ginger tea for the emperor later."

Fu Quan grinned in response, Xiao Jun didn't allow her to come out to deliver it, but told her to take the medicine on time, and took Fu Quan out of the house.

Not long after breakfast, Jin Xin came back from inquiring about the news and said, "Concubine Li went to kneeling in the Empress Dowager's Palace again. In such a cold day, she knelt in the snow. I heard that she didn't even wear a cloak. Isn't that sincere?"

Qingchen carefully wiped the strings in his bosom, pondered for a long time before saying: "Of course the queen mother is not afraid of her kneeling, but she seems to be too harsh and vicious. If the emperor finds out, wouldn't he want to have sex with the queen mother again?" Suspicion? In fact, it is not good for her to do so, it will only make the Queen Mother hate her even more."

Yun Lan said: "This is to win the Emperor's sympathy. It is a fact that the Empress Dowager doesn't want to see her. She knows that she is powerless to change, and she doesn't plan to change it. So it's better to get more love from the Emperor. With the Emperor's care, On the contrary, it will make the Empress Dowager feel apprehensive and unable to attack her, presumably this is also her means of self-protection."

"Let her go. It's just that this harem can't do whatever it wants with the protection of the empress. Let's just wait and see."

The cold wind roared outside the window, and the bursts of snow particles gradually turned into fluttering snowflakes. The first snow of this winter was so fierce.
