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

Chapter 85
Qingchen didn't know what that piece of plum forest meant to him, in front of everyone, even though he was puzzled, he didn't want to ask too much, besides, he might not be willing to say it, who doesn't have privacy?Just like this apricot blossom to her, it also has an unspeakable secret.Then he changed the subject and asked: "Since Your Highness came here from the banquet, why don't you sit with the ancestor for a while?"

Xiao Jue said with a smile: "I came here early this morning to greet my ancestors, and then I was ordered to have a banquet with the foreign ministers. Just now I heard that there were assassins in the palace, so I hurried over to have a look. Fortunately, everyone is fine."

How is it all right?Is the life of a court lady so contemptible and insignificant?

Qingchen smiled slightly, stroked his forehead and said, "Yes, fortunately, the emperor and the ancestor are fine."

Seeing that she seemed a little overwhelmed by alcohol, Yun Lan carefully supported her and asked, "Do you think it's okay, my lord?"

Qingchen was indeed a little dizzy at the moment, and his stomach was a little uncomfortable, but he still suppressed a smile and said: "It's okay, just take a break."

Seeing that she was overwhelmed by alcohol, Xiao Jue hurriedly took out a hangover medicine from her purse and gave her a drink, frowned and persuaded: "Today's palace banquet uses pine wine. Although this wine is good, it is not suitable for drinking. For women to drink, it is better to drink a few cups less to fill the capacity."

"The concubine lost her temper and made the prince laugh."

Qingchen felt a little embarrassed, and kept fanning the wind with his handkerchief. In the midst of embarrassment, he heard Ye Ronghua's voice, "So it's here, so I can find it easily."

Ye Ronghua didn't salute when he saw Xiao Jue, he just asked with a smile: "Why are you here too? The ancestor asked you to toast the ministers, but you actually escaped to come here."

Xiao Jue spread her hands helplessly, "Didn't the emperor go, so why should I follow? I've been drinking with you for a long time, so I have to take a breather."

Seeing that the two of them were speaking impolitely, Qingchen asked, "Sister and His Royal Highness are old acquaintances?"

Ye Wanrong handed her the hangover soup in the girl's hand, helped her to sit at a stone table beside her, and then said with a smile: "I have played with him since we were young. It's still a virtue when you grow up."

Xiao Jue clenched his fists and coughed lightly twice, and said slightly embarrassed: "You...among so many people, you only bully me, and you are still like this until now, Wanyi is smarter than you..." Before he finished speaking, his face suddenly changed, "I, I have to go to drink with me, so I will take my leave first."

Ye Wanrong also seemed uncomfortable, and forced a smile: "You go, drink less."

Xiao Jue frowned slightly, responded casually, turned around and left.

Qingchen seemed to sense something was wrong, holding the hangover soup and slowly drinking it, he asked softly, "What's the matter, sister? But you've said too much and made the prince unhappy?"

Ye Wanrong sighed: "How can he be unhappy because of this, it's just that he accidentally mentioned an old friend, and he feels uncomfortable. The emperor, the queen, and Xiao Jue, we grew up together, so sometimes It’s also more casual to get along with others.”

Qingchen was surprised and said: "It turns out that my sister and the queen were also childhood friends, so that's good, because of the love we had when we were young, she can always take care of my sister more."

Ye Hanyu snorted coldly, and said mockingly: "I don't dare to think about taking care of her, as long as she doesn't design to harm me, I will be satisfied. You really think how virtuous she is."

Qingchen suddenly remembered that when Xue Wanrong had a miscarriage and she was sick in bed, Ye Hanyu and Gu Chang came to visit her together, and when they talked about how to deal with the eunuchs who raised their shoulders, Ye Hanyu said that the queen was magnanimous, and that was what was implied on her face. With a sarcastic expression, she had only entered the palace for a few days at that time, if she didn't know the empress well, she wouldn't have such a tone.
