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

Chapter 62
Beside the Taiye Pool, weeping willows are lingering, and the green silk ribbons are carelessly flicking on the water, moving gracefully in the breeze, like a girl combing her long and smooth hair by the water.The weather is getting warmer, and the winter jasmine in the flower garden is blooming just right. The bright yellow flowers bend the branches in strings, taking advantage of the pink cherry blossoms all over the tree, which is pleasing to the eye.The unbloomed peonies and peonies, as well as some precious moonglow and roses, have also sprouted strong buds, spreading their branches and leaves, and some have even begun to gestate flower buds.

The fresh scent of flowers and plants filled the air, and it was a beautiful spring, but Qingchen was not in the mood to appreciate it.

When Ye Hanyu saw her coming, she was busy with her work and said with a smile: "The weather is so good, I was just about to send someone to ask you to come out to play, I think you came from the direction of my palace, but you have been to Lan Ruo Xuan?"

There was an unknown bird with tender yellow feathers on the willow tree, and its chirping disturbed her. She raised her hand, and the bird was scared away by her. I went to sit there for a while, but she was only busy and didn't have time to go out for a walk."

It is rare for Ye Hanyu to see her impatient, so she asked suspiciously: "What's the matter with you? Is there something unhappy? Could it be that you got angry because Gu Changzai didn't come out to play with you?"

Qingchen couldn't laugh or cry, "I'm not a child anymore, how can I be so childish?"

Ye Hanyu sighed: "Her life is not easy, even if she doesn't have the favor, the queen will press her down from time to time..." Before she could finish her sentence, her complexion suddenly changed, she pointed to the front and shouted in astonishment: " That, that is... Concubine Shu..."

Qingchen was startled when he heard the words, and subconsciously turned around to look in the direction she was pointing at. Sure enough, he saw Concubine Shu leading a few palace maids and eunuchs, walking towards them arrogantly.She was wearing a newly-tailored first-class cloud brocade palace dress with peach red gold thread embroidered with big red peonies, her head was full of pearls and jade, and the ruby ​​on the red gold beaded phoenix hairpin was as bright red as blood, which was particularly eye-catching.The face is still full of heavy makeup, bright and charming.

Ye Hanyu looked at her in disbelief, her breathing became short of breath, her face flushed red, she was stunned for a moment and forgot to salute, but Qingchen reacted quickly and quickly pulled her back, and the two retreated to the side of the road and knelt down , "For concubines, see Concubine Shu, Empress Wanan."

Concubine Shu didn't seem to see the two of them, so she didn't cry out, she just smiled with Chun Shao who was beside her and said, "Spring is here, and all the birds are flying to this imperial garden, and they all want to fly to the branches to get a share of the pie." , taking advantage of Bengong's absence, some sluts took advantage of the loopholes and tried their best to climb up, but Bengong's nose can't accommodate these vicious people, and it's disgusting to watch."

Qingchen and Ye Hanyu looked at each other, and saw Ye Hanyu pursed her lips tightly, her face was livid, her hands were tightly clutching the hem of her clothes, and she was slightly trembling.Concubine Shu's sudden appearance really shocked and angered them.

Chun Shao at the side glanced at them, and said with a sly smile: "Your Majesty, why should you be as knowledgeable as those lowly things? Even if they fly to the branches, not all of them can turn sparrows into phoenixes. Now that Your Majesty is back, those who don't like you The noisy and annoying ones should be cleaned up, let's see how long they can be happy?"

Concubine Shu sneered, walked up to Qingchen and Ye Hanyu, looked down at them both, and said with disdain after a long time: "Aren't these Ye Wanrong and Wan Ronghua? It's a maid. But it's a coincidence that as soon as I left, the two of you were promoted to the position. I thought you were so capable. Even if you are next to the empress, you are just a mere fifth-rank Wanrong." Then he snorted to Qingchen, "Not to mention you, you were born as a maidservant, and it took so much effort to earn a Ronghua from the sixth rank, it's really pitiful and ridiculous."

Qingchen tried his best to hold back his anger, lowered his head and gritted his teeth and said, "Naturally, concubines are better means than Empress. How can ordinary people be able to get out of a place like Hanliang Hall? After all, Empress is blessed and can let Regardless of past suspicions, the emperor has regained his favor."

Concubine Shu said in a manly voice: "I have never had any quarrel with the emperor, but I was provoked and framed by an adulterer. Look at the jeweled phoenix hairpin on my head, how does it compare with Ye Wanrong's pigeon blood red collar? This is a new reward from the emperor today, saying that I have a good complexion, and I am taking advantage of this color."

Ye Hanyu naturally didn't want to look at her ruby ​​phoenix hairpin, her expression became more and more ugly, she lowered her eyes and looked at the path paved with colorful cobblestones with hatred, the corner of her mouth twitched and said: "How can concubine's things compare with empress's things?" The concubine is dull, and I will set my mother as a model in the future, even if she is imprisoned, she can escape unscathed and come back full of honor."

Concubine Shu leisurely played with the gold shell and emerald armor in her hand, and her lazy voice was mixed with a little mockery, "Don't worry, you will have such a day soon, but it's not certain whether you can come back with glory. I said before that I will not spare you lightly when I come back, hmph, just wait and see."

Chun Shao interjected from the side: "Could it be that some people want to imitate others? They don't even see if they have that ability, it's just to make people laugh."

Ye Hanyu got angry for a moment, staggered and almost fell down, Qingchen hurriedly reached out to support her, and said in a low voice: "Sister, be careful, we don't know as well as her."

Then he raised his head and said: "Concubines and concubines are insignificant, not worthy of your empress' concern. The queen and Lin Wanyi must be very happy to know that your empress has regained her favor. There will be a 'big gift' later, so your empress should cheer up first." Come, let's deal with the 'big reward' from the empress."

Concubine Shu smiled disdainfully, picked a cinnamon and played with it in her hand, "Is Wan Ronghua using the queen to suppress me? This is not the first time that I have fought against the queen. Why did Ben Gong ever pay attention to it? She was just lucky enough to win Ben Gong once, and seeing Ben Gong come back, couldn't she just sulking secretly? Forget it, Ben Gong is too lazy to talk nonsense with you here, We still have to prepare the emperor's lunch, Chun Shao, let's go."

"Yes, empress." Chun Shao gave them a white look, hurriedly walked up to Concubine Shu, and carefully helped Concubine Shu to leave.

"Concubine concubine sends concubine Shu respectfully."

After gritting her teeth and saying these words, Ye Hanyu got up and looked at Concubine Shu's back and pulled the handkerchief unwillingly, her eyes were red with anger, "How did she do it, why didn't she hear anything about it before?" Heard? The emperor is willing to forgive her for such a serious crime, what method did she use to confuse the emperor?"

Although Qingchen was also angry, he was not as emotional as Ye Wanrong, "Don't be impatient, sister. After all, we were careless and gave her a chance to turn around. Now if we want to bring her down again, we need to think long-term. "

Ye Hanyu said bitterly: "I just want to know how she got out!"
