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

Chapter 612 A Letter (1)
After waiting for the emperor to wash and rest, Qingchen could not fall asleep listening to the sound of snow falling outside. There are not many snowstorms like this this winter. How many nights has she just listened to the sound of wind and snow and slept alone? to go?The feeling of being alone in a cold quilt is uncomfortable, but to be an emperor's woman, the first thing to learn is to be able to endure loneliness.

You could tell by her breathing that she was still asleep. Xiao Jun turned over and hugged her slender waist and asked, "What's the matter, why can't I sleep? I'm going to take a bath and fast in the Buddhist hall tomorrow to pray for the queen mother and the eldest prince, so even if Sleeping next to you, I can't touch you, I am physically and mentally exhausted now, and I have wronged you."

It feels so good to have him around, at least it's warm around me, so I won't turn over in the middle of the night, and there's a coldness behind me, she enjoyed it and leaned into his arms again, and said softly: "Whatever the emperor says, no matter how bad the concubine is." , I still understand this point. Since we are a husband and wife who will live a long life, we don't care about the momentary happiness. The concubine can't sleep. It's the poor eldest prince who has to suffer from such illness in less than a hundred days. Tonight is not only the concubine I can't sleep, I'm afraid Xiao Jieyu and Leng Zhaoyi won't be able to close their eyes either."

Xiao Jun kissed her lightly on the forehead, and said with a sigh: "I know that you are kind-hearted, and you can always suffer from the suffering of others. Don't worry, the eldest prince will be blessed by the Buddha, and nothing will happen. It's not too early Go to sleep, I don't want to see you ugly with swollen eyes tomorrow morning."

Seeing that it will be dawn in less than two birthdays, and he will go to court tomorrow morning, so I can't talk to him anymore, Qingchen leaned in his arms and said with some satisfaction: "The concubine was ill before, what an ugly look Your Majesty I haven't seen it before, but now I despise my concubine, even if the emperor despises me, my concubine is not afraid, and will always snatch the emperor back."

Xiao Jun patted her shoulder with one hand without saying a word, hugging him and fell asleep peacefully.

Because she slept late last night, she fell into a deep sleep, and when she opened her eyes, the emperor had already gone to court, she hurriedly got up to wash up, and went to pay her respects to the queen, seeing the palace people braving the wind and snow to clean the palace road along the way, After sweeping the front, another layer of snowflakes fell in the back. Qingchen didn't expect that the snow would fall so heavily, it was not inferior to the severe winter season.

Jin Xin was walking beside the soft sedan chair with a yellow silk umbrella, and when she spoke, a cloud of white mist came out of her mouth, even with such a cold wind, she still couldn't stop her mouth, "Madam, when the emperor left, he said , I will come over to have dinner at night. Recently, all the palaces have to be vegetarian. The emperor was afraid that the empress would not be able to bear it, so he ordered the House of Internal Affairs to send more blood swallows and purple ginseng to the empress. The servants thought about making it for the empress at night. How about a longan lotus root and purple ginseng soup?"

Qingchen smiled and said: "It's not time for breakfast yet, you've already thought about evening, but it's good, now your craftsmanship is getting more and more refined, it seems that you have tasted the emperor's taste, and it's also thanks to your hard work."

Jin Xin was carrying the umbrella, which was swayed by the wind and a little unsteady, but she still followed closely beside the sedan chair and said, "This is all thanks to Aunt Yun Lan, you see that Jin Xiu has always been careless about things in the kitchen. , Now I can cook a lot of specialty dishes. I didn’t expect that Aunt Yunlan would know so much, I really learned a lot from following her.”

Qingchen thought for a while and nodded and said: "Then you should study hard, so that you won't be dissatisfied with your in-laws when you get married in the future. It seems like I spoiled you. If you get a better sister-in-law, it will be even more difficult." You can't bear it, sister-in-law is sometimes more difficult to serve than mother-in-law, so before you get through the door, you must first win over other people, and at critical times, you need someone to help you speak."

Jin Xin blushed, seeing the little eunuch carrying the sedan chair secretly pursing her lips, she felt even more embarrassed, she pouted and stomped her feet and said, "Your Majesty just knows how to tease slaves, slaves and Your Majesty talk about serious things, it's fine if your Majesty doesn't listen, I also took the opportunity to make fun of the servant, but the servant never said anything again."

Seeing that Jin Xin was too shy, Yun Lan felt emotional, but she couldn't help but sighed: "Your Majesty is not joking with you, she is just teaching you with worry, Your Majesty loves you so much on weekdays, and everything is up to you. We can't see the door of your husband's house, and you don't have any parents or elders to rely on, if you are wronged by others, don't you feel sorry for your empress?"

Jin Xin suddenly had a sore nose, and couldn't help but want to cry, "This servant doesn't want to leave your mother, this servant is willing to serve your mother for the rest of her life."

Qingchen clicked his tongue twice, and said to Yunlan: "Do you think she can stay with her active nature? I want to find a reliable person to marry her and be the master of the house." , Seeing her still escape like this, she won't settle for a moment."

Jin Xin sniffled and asked: "The Empress of Emotions dislikes the servant girl, she wants to send the servant girl away earlier, the servant girl won't leave, she'll just stay by the empress's side, what can the empress do?"

Before putting down the curtain, Qingchen said again: "Then the dowry I saved for you won't be used anymore? Fortunately, I still want to let you get married in a good manner, who knows that you don't care about it."

"The empress bullied the slaves again, and the slaves refused..."

Qingchen thought it was snowing heavily today, since it was already late, there was no need to rush to Chengkun Palace anymore, anyway, the Empress Empress has always been magnanimous, so I wouldn't blame her for this.

Arriving at the Queen's Chengkun Palace, Qingchen saw that the Jiaofang hall was full of people, and he was the last one to come, so he hurriedly went up to greet the Queen and said: "My concubine greets the Queen, my lady is blessed and golden, today The road is slippery due to the heavy snow, and my concubine came a bit late, so I ask the empress to forgive me."

The queen didn't smile as she expected, but she just let it go, instead she said with a calm face: "Occasionally, I don't mind being late, and it's such a weather, Concubine Chen, please sit down first."

Seeing that the Queen's tone was not kind, Qing Chen wondered to himself, could it be that the Queen was unhappy because of what happened last night?But even if she is unhappy, there's no need to attack her, it's a contest between Concubine Li and Concubine Ning, the queen wouldn't blame her, would she?
Just as she was seated, Qin Wanrong clicked her tongue twice and said: "Concubine Chen really is different now, even the empress empress dares to prevaricate, it's snowing heavily this day, and it's not just for the empress alone, even concubine Li lives in the west. It’s not too late to come to a place so far away from the garden, and this Duanyang Palace is only a few steps away from Chengkun Palace? Don’t say it’s your own fault for being late, but you have to blame God, you’re too embarrassed.”

These words are extremely embarrassing, Qingchen glanced at her lightly, and was about to speak, when she heard Concubine Ning help her and said: "Even if the ministers are going to court, they will still be late in rainy and snowy days, Your Majesty." I never blamed it, let alone the harem? Why did Qin Wanrong be so aggressive? After all, Concubine Chen didn't do it on purpose. The emperor stayed in her palace yesterday, and this morning must have been delayed by serving the emperor. Empress The empress can understand, why are you doing this?"
