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

Chapter 908
Qingchen inserted a golden phoenix pearl hairpin obliquely on her temples, and picked out a string of drop-shaped ruby ​​brow pendants to wear. Yun Lan helped her choose a few gemstone hairpins to put on her hair bun. Blossoming her eyebrows, looking at the woman in the mirror, she felt a little strange even to herself.

I don't know when, that elegant and graceful woman, demure like orchid, has long lost the tenderness and docile she had when she first entered the palace. Perhaps her mood has changed. Under the candlelight, her eyes are more cold and frosty, and the expression between her brows They all have a fierce look, slightly curved lips, but also an extremely charming look.

Throwing away the jade hairpin in his hand, Qingchen got up to change his clothes. Although this garnet red palace dress was not a dress for the grand ceremony, it was extremely gorgeous. The large peony flowers on the dress were all embroidered with gold thread. Embellished with pearls, a delicate sachet on the belt, and wishful knot tassels, perhaps the significance of this dress lies not in its value, but in its aura.

The soft sedan chair outside has been waiting for a long time, Qingchen held Yunlan's hand and walked out, meditating all the way, and walked to the door of the imperial study, Qingchen told Jinxiu: "Let Xiao Yinzi come over tomorrow, I have something to do Discuss with him."

Jinxiu was busy responding, but she was thinking in her heart, if Qingchen didn't want to summon Xiao Yinzi easily, if there was no serious matter, she might have to make another big decision to find him this time.

Fuquan went in to report, and soon came out and said, "Your Majesty, the emperor let you in."

Qing Chen only brought Yun Lan in, leaving Jin Xin to wait outside, and entered the East Nuan Pavilion. Seeing the emperor was burying her head in approving the memorial, she bowed respectfully and said, "My concubine sees the emperor, the emperor is auspicious."

Xiao Jun inadvertently turned her head, glanced at her, but quickly turned back and fixed on her, as if quite surprised by her attire.

After a brief silence, the emperor nodded and said, "Get up, sit down." Then he looked at her meaningfully, and said with a smile, "This dress suits you very well. Why do you suddenly think...to dress yourself like this?"

Qingchen softly sighed, and asked back: "Then how does the emperor think the concubine should dress up? The concubine is a second-rank concubine personally appointed by the emperor, and she doesn't dare to dress up. Is it because the concubine usually dresses too casually?" so that even the emperor has forgotten the identity of the concubine? It is no wonder that even noble Wei dared to be so disrespectful to the concubine. But then again, if the concubine did not reject the emperor's kindness at the beginning, the concubine is now a first-class concubine Your noble concubine, I think it won't be so easy to be ignored."

Xiao Jun tasted the meaning of her words thoughtfully, and asked with a smile: "Do you regret it? At the beginning, you defeated the envoys to save me from the siege, and then you cleverly solved the problem of using money in the border trade city. I know you have meritorious service." , as long as you want, I will immediately decree to make you a noble concubine, which is what you deserve, and you know that I am not stingy with rewarding you."

"The emperor is not stingy with rewarding his concubines, but the concubines are not here to ask for credit from the emperor tonight. I just want to ask the emperor, why did you withdraw the concubine's green head card because you want to protect your concubine?" Qing Chen's face remained unchanged. With a gentle smile, neither humble nor overbearing, there is no previous hospitality and anticipation in his eyes, which is quite a bit of Ning Fei's usual look.

Xiao Jun pursed her lips lightly, stared at her coldly and said, "You know why, why bother to ask knowingly, this matter is that I need you to bear this crime, and I will make up for you later."

What he needs is the influence of the Ye family, she is very clear about this, Qingchen asked with a smile: "How does the emperor plan to make up for his concubines?"

"what do you want?"

"If the concubine said...the concubine begged the emperor to let the concubine move to Qingxiu Pavilion in the palace?"

"No, I won't allow it!" Xiao Jun refused very simply, brushing aside the folder in his hand as if a little irritated, looked at her deeply and said: "You said so much, didn't you just want to tell me, Even if I withdraw your green head card, since you are still the concubine, should I give you the dignity you deserve? I have never belittled you, and I will never allow the concubines below to disrespect you. If they dare to treat you disrespectfully Li, you can punish him severely, no one asks you to swallow your anger!"

What she was waiting for was his words. Seeing that the goal was achieved, the emperor seemed a little angry, so he changed the subject and asked softly: "Your majesty, didn't you say that you have something to say about calling your concubine? say what?"

Xiao Jun turned her head and looked aside, coughing dryly twice, Fuquan hurriedly asked someone to bring up a cup of hot tea, Xiao Jun moistened her throat, calmed down her emotions, and then said slowly: "My birthday is in a few days, Mian Princess Yue will come to Dagan to congratulate you, you must already know this, right?"

Qingchen nodded, "The concubine heard about it in the empress's palace before, what does the emperor mean?"

"What I mean is that I want you to receive her." Xiao Jun's voice was much gentler, and she discussed with her: "I'm afraid that with Mianyue's temperament, she won't like Concubine Ning's rigid etiquette. I heard that Before she left, she gave you a gift, which shows that she still likes you very much, what do you think?"

Qingchen didn't answer right away. After thinking about it, she didn't think it was something that had to be explained. The emperor wanted her to entertain Princess Mianyue, so he just ordered her. Why bother to ask her so solemnly, Could she still not agree? "Does the emperor have anything to worry about?"

"No, you don't have to worry about other things, you just entertain her well and don't let her play childish temper again."

After a short period of doubt, Qingchen saw Xiao Jun's calm expression, as if he really had nothing to add, and nodded in disbelief.

She didn't have anything to say, and she didn't say a word when she saw the emperor, she just looked at her with gentle eyes, Qingchen felt a little unaccustomed to it, glanced at him secretly, and suddenly felt that his attitude today was very strange.Two days ago, he treated her coldly, as if she had committed some heinous crime, but now suddenly the clouds cleared up.Even if she was asked to receive Princess Mianyue, there would not be such a big difference in treatment before and after. Is it true that people have to ask for something under courtesy?

Qing Chen was feeling uncomfortable when he heard Xiao Wuzi come in and say: "Your Majesty, Mrs. Wei is here to bring some snacks to the Emperor. Will the Emperor want to let her in?"

Xiao Jun's brows tightened, she seemed a little displeased, but she hesitated and said, "Xuan her in."

Wei Guiren came in with Wei Hong, and seeing Qingchen was there, he couldn't help but feel a little surprised, obviously the emperor had neglected Concubine Chen for a long time, and these days she has been emphatically speaking ill of her in front of the emperor, why did the emperor suddenly agree Have you summoned her?

Mrs. Wei was a little unhappy, looked at Qingchen's clothes, and felt even more envious in his heart. After saluting to the emperor, he turned to Qingchen and quickly knelt down, saying in a manly voice: "My lady is auspicious." Qing The etiquette is like water, and the attitude is extremely contemptuous.
