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

Chapter 717
Mother Wei brought the tea, but Qingchen didn't reach out to take it, so can you give me a compliment? What if the Empress Dowager asks you to taste it?Sure enough, Madam Wei hesitated a little, and put the teacup by her hand.

Freshly brewed hot tea, wisps of hot air overflowed from the gap in the cup lid, wafting into the nostrils, Qingchen smelled the tea fragrance, her heart twitched violently without warning, maybe she was too sensitive For some reason, the aroma of Liu'an tea suddenly reminded her of the cup of tea that Chunlan handed over with the abortion pill in it.

Subconsciously, he clenched his sleeves tightly. What if the Queen Mother really did it?The Queen Mother had always hoped that Qin Wanrong could win the Sacred Heart and stabilize the family's favor, but Qin Wanrong had obviously disappointed her, while the Queen's side was doing well. Lin Guiyi was pregnant, and the Qin family's position in the harem was about to be lost. Can the Queen Mother be willing to replace the Lin family?

Could it be that the queen mother has long wanted to attack Lin Guiyi?She wants to remove all obstacles for Qin Wanrong, including her?

There was an inexplicable chill on her body, and she couldn't help shivering. Did she really guess right?If it wasn't for the queen mother's handwriting, why can't the queen find out the truth so far?Chunlan was poisoned to death without a trace, who can do things so cleanly, who else is there in the harem besides the queen mother?Taking a step back, even if Qin Wanrong ordered someone to do this, the queen mother must have taken action to deal with the aftermath secretly for her, otherwise with the queen's ability, she would not be able to find out everything.

But the empress had suffered such a big loss in secret, yet she still unknowingly covered up Qin Wanrong in an attempt to get back together with the empress dowager. Sure enough, when it comes to skills, Jiang is still old and spicy.

It's just a guess, but for some reason, there is a feeling of sudden realization.

Qing Chen was in a trance when she heard the Queen Mother's lazy voice and asked with a bit of coldness: "Doesn't Concubine Chen want to try the Liu'an tea that was brought in as a new tribute this spring?"

Qingchen hesitated for a moment, and said with a smile: "Yes, the concubine obeys the order. The emperor is very filial to the queen mother. If there are any good things, they will be sent to the queen mother's palace first. Presumably this tea is also very good."

Although she felt that the queen mother would not harm her face to face, she still had some precautions. She was not without fear at the moment, because her child really couldn't stand any risks.

Yun Lan's eyes moved, and she reached out to pick up the tea behind her. At this moment, Qing Chen was also turning sideways to serve the tea. The tea cup was handed over without warning, and it hit her chest with a bang. On the back of the hand, the lid of the cup fell to the ground, and the tea was dripping all over the table.

Qingchen exclaimed, Yun Lan seemed to be taken aback too, hurriedly put down the teacup in her hand, took out a handkerchief to help her wipe the tea on her hands and sleeves, and confessed: "Your Majesty, forgive me, slave It wasn't intentional, but is it hot somewhere?"

Qingchen knew that it was Yun Lan who was helping her out, so he cooperated with the reprimand and said: "You are getting more and more entrusted with your errands now, and you are so careless in the Empress Dowager's Palace. I will go back and see how I punish you."

Bao Zhu helped clear the table, but the Queen Mother didn't say a word, she just watched the master and servant play with cold eyes, with a lingering smile on her lips.Yun Lan is a maid serving tea. She has served the late emperor for 15 years without any mistakes, but it happened to her in the Shou'an Palace. Who would believe it?
After a while, Liang Jieyu came up with a cup of tea in person, the smile on the corner of her mouth seemed to be absent, but it made people feel that there was something deep in it, "Chen Concubine, empress, I don't know if you don't drink Liu'an For tea, let’s change to a cup of Longjing, the new tea before tomorrow is brewed by my concubine, how about my concubine’s handicraft?”

The eyebrows twitched slightly, Qingchen looked at Liang Jieyu deeply, and saw that she was standing next to the queen mother as if nothing had happened. After a while, she smiled slightly and said: "Thank you, Liang Jieyu has served the queen mother for so long, and the queen mother He has always been able to train people, so he can't go wrong in this tea art."

After finishing speaking, I took a few sips at ease and said: "The concubine is used to love Mingqian Longjing. Although the first taste is slightly astringent, the aftertaste is sweet and full of fragrance. There seems to be a faint fragrance of plum in this tea. Could it be the harvested plum blossoms? Do you make tea with the snow water on the bed? Liang Jieyu has always been attentive in serving the queen mother. The concubine once met her early in the morning to collect the dewdrops on the lotus leaves to make summer tea for the queen mother. Such a clever idea really made the concubine Can't wait."

The queen mother smiled slightly and said: "Yes, in terms of filial piety, none of you can compare to her. Concubine Chen is pregnant, and the Ai family can't order you to do anything. Even in normal times, you rarely come to my birthday Coming from the palace, it can be seen that you are not willing to serve me, a crooked old lady."

Qingchen hurriedly bowed and said: "If the Empress Dowager has any orders, the ministers and concubines should do their best and rarely come to greet her, because the Empress Dowager likes to be quiet when she is ill, and she is afraid of disturbing her recuperation, and the ministers and concubines are dull. The Empress Dowager is angry, although the concubines can't always serve her, they still copied the Buddhist scriptures and prayed for the Empress Dowager."

The queen mother couldn't find anything wrong with her words, she looked at her with deep eyes and said: "You shouldn't be tired during pregnancy, so you don't need to copy the scriptures. From now on, I will come to Ai's house every day and accompany Ai's family to relieve boredom, right? With you Now, Liang Jieyu can also be more than one person to talk, and being with each other will not feel boring."

Even though there was much reluctance in my heart, I couldn't shirk such a thing, so I could only respond: "Yes, my concubine obeys."

While speaking, someone outside shouted loudly: "The emperor is here!"

Qingchen hurriedly got up to greet her, Xiao Jun walked in with Fuquan's protracted ending, bowed calmly and said, "My son, please greet the Queen Mother, does the Queen Mother feel more comfortable today?"

The queen mother glanced at Qingchen, knowing why the emperor came, but she still smiled as usual: "That's the way Ai's family is, the emperor doesn't need to be polite, just sit down."

The emperor sat on the kang opposite the empress dowager, Qingchen and Liang Jieyu bowed to the emperor together and said: "The concubine sees the emperor, the emperor is Jin'an."

Xiao Jun seemed to have just seen her, and said casually: "Let's be flat, there is no need to be polite, why is Concubine Chen free to come to the Empress Dowager's Palace today? You are in better health. Didn't I tell you to close the door and have a baby?" , why do you ignore my words, do you have to ask me to punish you again?"

Even if the emperor knew what was going on, as a concubine, he had to save enough face for the queen mother, so he replied with a smile: "The concubine hasn't come to pay her respects to the queen mother for a long time, so I want to come and see the queen mother. Look, the Empress Dowager's complexion is much stronger than the previous days."

Is it because the heart disease has been cured, and the spirit is also exceptionally good?
Xiao Jun nodded calmly and said: "It's good for you to be filial, but don't be in a hurry. Right now, you take good care of yourself and the heir in your womb, which is the greatest filial piety to the Queen Mother. Do you think what I said is right? ?”

The Empress Dowager's face was gentle, her expression didn't fluctuate at all, but her tone was much more amiable, she said to the emperor: "The Ai family thinks so too, just now they also advised her to stay in the palace and raise her, but she insisted that the emperor is busy with state affairs, I often don't care about Ai's family, I want to do my filial piety for the emperor, and every day when I have free time, I will come to accompany Ai's family to relieve boredom..."
