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

Chapter 860
Kneeling for two hours, the emperor did not summon her again. Qingchen's legs could not walk, so she had to take a young eunuch to Qifeng Palace to pass the soft sedan chair. The emperor was in the Nuan Pavilion, watching her through the open window Frowning and rubbing his knees, he felt extremely uncomfortable.She is already cold, the ground is already very cold this season, and it has been raining recently, kneeling on the cold and wet green brick floor for so long, she knows without thinking that her legs must be cold at this moment.

Seeing her holding Yun Lan's hand and getting into the sedan chair with difficulty, the emperor turned around and violently swept the teacup on the table to the ground, and sternly reprimanded: "The tea is cold, don't you know where to change it?"

The tea had just been served, and it was still steaming when it was spilled on the ground. Fuquan knew that the emperor was in a bad mood, so he hurriedly told the little court lady who served the tea, "Hurry up and go get the emperor a new cup of tea."

The little maid didn't dare to raise her head, she timidly picked up the debris on the ground, and retreated out without a sound.

Seeing the emperor's expression, Fuquan knew that he was distressed, and said intentionally or unintentionally: "Your Majesty, it's getting cold, do you want the Ministry of Internal Affairs to make you a leather coat? The gift brought by the envoy of Great Summer this time, don't worry about it." The servants didn’t pay attention to the things they bought, but the leather goods they sent were pretty good, especially the wolf fur, which was thick and warm, and it was said that those with decades-old cold legs could sweat from covering them, so Wolf fur is very precious in the north. A pair of wolf fur pants, dare to spend the night in the mountains and forests in the middle of winter, how about those hunters..."

"Have you said enough? When did you become so wordy?" The emperor turned his head and looked at him with deep eyes. Seeing that Fuquan closed his mouth immediately, his eyes looked at his nose with a flat expression, and his nose and heart remained silent, as if there was nothing at all. other intentions.

Xiao Jun saw that he was silent, so she had to find a step for herself, thought for a while and said: "Daxia's envoys made things difficult for her, Concubine Chen has made great achievements, why don't you give her those wolf skins to make winter clothes. "

"Hey, I'm going to order you, slave." Just as Fuquan was about to leave, Xiao Jun yelled again: "Wait a minute, let the secretary make the room and send it over. Needless to say, it's a reward from me, just say it's the rules of each palace. good."

Fuquan replied softly, "Yes, the servant knows."

When Qingchen returned to Qifeng Palace, she saw that Gu Yunfeng had been waiting here for a long time. First, she soaked her legs with hot water and medicinal herbs in a wooden bucket to relax her tendons and blood circulation, and then asked someone to cook ginger soup to drive away the cold.

Looking at the two bruises on her knees, Gu Yunfeng sighed: "You really are, why didn't you ask me first? Is it trivial for the emperor to take pills? The elixir, can the emperor take it casually?"

"I don't care if I care about it. If those so-called magic pills can really prolong life and live forever, why don't the old Taoists keep them for themselves? No one is afraid of death. If there is such a panacea, how can he eat it?" Didn't he eat and become an immortal long ago, and use it to come to the palace to cheat for food and drink?"

Gu Yunfeng knew that she was very repulsed by Taoist alchemy since she was a child, because she thought it was very stupid and ridiculous.Although she felt dumbfounded by what she said, but what she said was also reasonable, so she didn't say any more words to blame, but only instructed: "Later, put on this ointment and let Jinxiu massage you, the bruise will be almost gone in three or four days. can subside."

Qingchen put the ointment aside, still a little worried and said: "Yunfeng, even if the elixir is really no problem, I beg you to find a way to persuade the emperor not to take that thing again. The emperor is the one with the most energy. At such a prosperous age, where do you need those things to nourish your body? I always feel that Concubine Li has no good intentions, but why did the emperor trust her so much this time? Could it be that he really believed the Taoist priest's nonsense?"

Gu Yunfeng shook his head and said, "You don't believe in Concubine Li because you didn't like her from the very beginning and held prejudice against her."

Qingchen seemed a little unable to believe his ears, stared at his eyes, and asked Gu Yunfeng: "What did you say? What do you mean by that? Don't you know how many bad things Concubine Li has done since entering the palace? You actually said that I did it because I have prejudice against her only if I don't like her, am I the kind of person who will slander others because of jealousy? Could it be that you also took her elixir and burned your brain?"

Seeing her turning around and looking for something to throw at him, Gu Yunfeng hurriedly took two steps back while being on guard, and added: "Of course you don't like her because she has done all kinds of bad things, not only you hate her, but who in this palace doesn't hate her?" she?"

Qingchen put down the pillow in his hand, and muttered extremely displeased: "This is still like a human saying, then tell me, the emperor knows that even if there is no problem with the pill, he can't take it lightly, so why does he still want to drink it?" Take it?"

Seeing her put down the things in her hand, Gu Yunfeng also relaxed his vigilance and said helplessly: "The emperor is too busy recently, there are too many government affairs to deal with, it is not a big deal to take some tonic to refresh yourself, why are you so suspicious?"

"Gu Yunfeng!" Qingchen was really angry this time, "Do you know what you are talking about, is there really something wrong with your mind?"

Gu Yunfeng walked out with the medicine box in hand, "Okay, you'd better take care of yourself first, you don't need to worry about the emperor."

A soft pillow hit the door frame with a "boom", Gu Yunfeng glanced back, and lamented that he was walking fast enough, this aunt really lost her temper, and he couldn't afford to offend her.

Qingchen knew that Xiao Jun's temperament was not strong, and there had been a lot of unhappiness, large and small, before, didn't she just come here like this?So she wanted to wait until the emperor's anger dissipated, and then talk to him about the pill.

Although the bruises on the legs looked scary, they did not hurt the muscles and bones, nor were they serious problems.The next day Qingchen felt better, so she took Jinxin and Jinxiu to Qingxiu Pavilion.

Even though no one lives in the palace, the place where the concubine of the late emperor lives is quite remote. Probably once people become discouraged, even though it is difficult to see the emperor, they still prefer to live in a place far away from right and wrong.

There are large tracts of bamboo planted in this place. If you don't know that there were people living here, you may think that you have entered the bamboo forest.The bamboos are towering, and there is a layer of hoarfrost-like water mist on the green bamboos. The path is quiet and cool, but the scent of bamboo leaves is tangy.

Such a secluded place suddenly reminded her of Lin Daiyu's Xiaoxiang Pavilion, "Baoding tea is still green when it is idle, and the chess in the window is still cool." Sister Lin's nature is different from others, but Qingchen believes Well, a woman who can choose to live in such a place must also be a person with temperament, otherwise how could she choose a quiet corner instead of crying every day like those bitter women in the palace.
