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

Chapter 556 Another Life (20)
The tears in the corners of his eyes were not wiped away, and he walked with his head down, almost bumping into a person. What caught his eye was a primrose-yellow cloud brocade shirt embroidered with dragon patterns and gold threads, covered with an ocher sable cloak with boundless blessings, Qingchen Surprised, she raised her eyes and saw Xiao Jue standing quietly in front of her alone.

She hurriedly turned her back to wipe the corners of her eyes, then blessed her body, and wanted to leave quickly without saying anything.It's enough to be upset, but I have to meet another person who makes me feel even worse.

Xiao Jue didn't intend to let her go just like that, and asked closely, "Chen'er, why are you unhappy? Why didn't you even bring a maid?"

Which pot is not opened and which pot is lifted, Qingchen feels more and more annoyed. The emperor has recently neglected himself for no reason, and only holds a concubine Li in his palm. People also feel lost.

She angrily said to Xiao Jue: "Your goal has been achieved. Concubine Li is now dominating the harem, and no one can surpass her favor. Do you feel very relieved? Just now I saw the emperor washing his face Ting and her are very sad, so they want to go for a walk alone to relax, but Your Highness, are you really so happy when your beloved is lying in someone else's arms?"

No matter how agitated she was, Xiao Jue's face was as calm as before. He just looked at her quietly and said indifferently: "Chen'er, you are unhappy in your heart, do you want others to accompany you in pain? Who does the emperor favor? Could it be that I have the final say? Besides, Concubine Li is the emperor's concubine, you and I expected her to be favored, why are you still so unacceptable?"

Concubine Li's foot injury has healed and she has learned all the rules. The Queen Mother has no reason to stop her from attending bedtime. It is time for the Emperor to make up for her.

She saw that Concubine Li and the emperor were so close and jealous that she would use such words to provoke Xiao Jue. She turned around and cried, but she still apologized to him choked up, "Forgive me, Your Highness, I was in a bad mood just now. Alright, if you said something that hurt His Highness, please don't argue with me."

Xiao Jue took her shoulders, wiped the tears off her face with his sleeves, and softly persuaded: "The wind is so cold, aren't you afraid of chapping the skin on your face?"

Qingchen turned away, and said with a bit of anger: "A woman's face is one that pleases herself. With the beauty of the concubine Li in front of her, what does it matter if my face is good or bad? Who cares?"

"I, I will care." Xiao Jue took her hand and walked into the frozen lake step by step.

Qingchen asked puzzledly: "What are you going to do?"

Xiao Jue carefully looked at her feet, walked a little faster, and led her to the center of the lake, "I don't do anything, I just want you to concentrate on walking the path under your feet, and truly experience the feeling of walking on thin ice, it's very slippery. It's hard to walk, and you'd better not get distracted."

As she spoke, she was already some distance away from the shore. Qingchen's small buckskin boots could not stand on the ice at all. It was already difficult to walk with three slippery steps, but she was dragged forward by Xiao Jue. Terrified, I couldn't help shouting: "Walk slowly, I can't stand still."

Xiao Jue held her hand tightly, slowed down a little, but didn't intend to stop, and led her all the way to the center of the lake.

Qingchen paid attention to his feet with all his attention, and he didn't even dare to stop, because his feet would slip if he stopped for a while.I don't know how long we walked, Xiao Jue suddenly stopped, took her other hand to prevent her from slipping, and said with a smile: "Look up and see, where are we now?"

Qingchen straddled his feet slightly and stood firm. Because he was too hard on his feet before and was very nervous, there was a thin layer of sweat on his forehead.

She raised her eyes and looked around, only to see a white expanse of ice and snow stretching out in front of her eyes. In the huge Taiye Pool, the two of them standing in the center of the lake looked so insignificant.

Xiao Jue looked into the distance and sighed, "If it's summer now, imagine what it would be like to stand in the middle of the vast expanse of green lotus?"

Qingchen pursed her lips and said with a smile: "Beauty is beauty, but I'm not a Bihe fairy, how can I stand on the water in summer and enjoy such a beautiful scenery?"

"You can take a boat. If you want, I'll take you to see it then, okay?" He looked expectant, his eyes sparkled, "I'll support the bamboo raft."

Qingchen avoided his gaze and turned to look at the shore, his face sank again, "Next summer, it will only be a few months, but who knows if I will have the life to wait until then? All my life Life is really like walking on thin ice, and the struggle between concubines is actually more vicious than the party struggle in the court. I don't have a close relationship with His Highness, and even if you entrust His Highness with some things, you may not be willing to help me, but I still want to I beg you, if there is anything wrong with me, I beg Your Highness to try to save the lives of my two maids. It would be best if I could send them out of the palace. They have a way out."

Xiao Jue didn't seem to want to hear such words, her eyes widened, and she held her hand even tighter, "Chen'er, I said I would try my best to protect you, do you not believe me?"

"You also said that you want to protect Concubine Li, but you can't interfere with the affairs of the harem. I don't want His Highness to interfere with my affairs. I will not be soft on Concubine Li, so even if His Highness hates me in the future, I hope you will not anger those around me."

She pulled out her hand and turned around to leave, but before taking two steps, her foot slipped, and she fell backwards uncontrollably. Qingchen screamed in shock, and Xiao Jue hurriedly reached out to catch her, "Why are you running?" , I will not eat you. I will always agree to what you ask. Don’t you remember how you came here just now? Without my support, you go back and try. It’s no wonder that you don’t fall and you’re covered in bruises. "

"Then who brought me to this place?" Qingchen gave him an annoyed look, "You have no good intentions at all."

Xiao Jue helped her stand still and sneered: "Then you still come in with me?"

"Your Highness pulled me down, okay?" She said a little discouraged, "It would be great if I was wearing roller skates, and I would be able to slide to the shore in no time, and I wouldn't have to walk so hard."

Xiao Jue thought for a while and asked, "Are you talking about the kind of shoes you wore when you were playing in the ice?"

Qingchen paused for a moment, then nodded and said: "It should be."

Xiao Jue asked incredulously, "Which kind of shoes would you wear to slide on the ice?"

She has never seen ancient roller skates, but even if she is not a professional in ice skating, it is really not difficult for her, but in her previous life she was roller skating.

"Will your Highness know it?" She looked at Xiao Jue provocatively and asked, "Your Highness won't even know this?"
