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

Chapter 957 Birthday (13)
What happened just now, if it was Xiao Jieyu, Mrs. Wei wouldn't dare to be so presumptuous, it was just watching people order dishes.

Walking halfway, seeing Qinxue coming this way, Qingchen approached and asked, "Why did you come out, but what's the matter?"

Qinxue smiled and said: "It's already this time, I don't know when the empress will come back, sister Jinxiu was anxious, so she asked the servants to come out to have a look. Just now the emperor sent the fifth son to ask, saying that he wanted to have lunch with the empress, but the empress was not here , Xiao Wuzi went back. I am afraid that the emperor has finished his lunch at this moment, should the empress go to the imperial court to have a look, or go back to the palace directly?"

Qingchen thought for a while and said: "Go back to the palace, I will go to see you after the emperor wakes up in the morning."

Qinxue smiled again: "The thread room has brought the dress of the empress, the empress should go back and have a look, it is so beautiful."

Qingchen pursed her lips and said nothing. She knew that if Xiao Jun ordered someone to make a dress for her this time, it would definitely be more solemn than the clothes she wore during the New Year's Eve. If she took her to meet the envoys, it would be a big face no.

Back in his own palace, he saw a pile of presents piled up on the table in the small flower hall outside, all of which were sent by the concubines of various palaces to congratulate him.

The emperor's rewards were also included, and Qingchen was already used to seeing those jewels and jades, so she didn't care much about those things, so she flipped through the rewards booklet and ordered someone to put them away.

After lunch, Jinxiu brought in the gown that was placed in the Xinuang Pavilion, and when Qingchen accidentally saw the color of the gown, her eyebrows twitched a few times.True red is a color that can only be worn by empresses and imperial concubines. Will the emperor go too far this time?
Jinxiu put the red lacquer plate with the clothes on the small table on the kang, and then the two of them carefully shook off the dress. Qingchen saw it and stood up unconsciously in shock. .

The regulation of this dress is clearly in accordance with the ceremonies of imperial concubines. The skirts of the dress are seven pieces, and the long skirts are embroidered with resplendent and multicolored phoenixes. Embroidery, the bottom of the skirt is embroidered with geographical patterns of mountains and rivers, and a picture of peonies facing the sun.The wide cuffs are embroidered with exquisite auspicious cloud patterns, and the carnival is as intended. A piece of clothing reveals the wealth, majesty and luxury of the heavenly family everywhere.

Qingchen couldn't believe his eyes, the emperor didn't reveal any news to him in advance, and suddenly asked her to wear the imperial concubine's gown to accept the court congratulations from all the officials, wouldn't this provoke the court again? Are many old men dissatisfied?Or does the emperor have some other purpose, and this dress is just a temptation to ask for directions?

Looking at Yun Lan full of puzzlement, Yun Lan signaled Jinxiu and Qin Xue to put away their clothes first, and then asked: "Your Majesty, did your Majesty mention to Your Majesty before that you want to be canonized as Your Majesty?"

Qingchen shook his head, his brows were furrowed even tighter, "The emperor never mentioned it, and he didn't even give me the slightest hint, so how can I wear this dress to greet the queen?"

Yun Lan was also a little worried and said: "Is it possible that the emperor had this intention before, but the empress refused, so this time I just want to make an order directly, and I don't want the empress to have the chance to refuse again?"

"That's why I'm worried. I don't have any children under my knees now. Even if I made a little contribution before, it's not enough to be crowned an imperial concubine. I really wonder what the emperor thinks?"

Yun Lan pondered for a moment, then slowly said: "It is absolutely impossible for the line secretary to make a mistake on such a big matter. Your mother might as well go to the imperial study to ask the emperor's intentions before making a decision. Anyway, the clothes have already been delivered It's coming, it's too late to change it, if the emperor insists on adding a seal, even if the empress refuses, she must speak softly, so as not to make the emperor angry. Such a great blessing is something that no one else can ask for. , Empress must not insist on refuting the emperor's kindness."

Qingchen knew what Yunlan was worried about. The imperial concubine's seat, if the emperor gave it to anyone except her, it would be a great joy, but she didn't want it, because she knew it in her heart, and she didn't have enough The ability to sit in that position.But if you insist on refusing, it won't do to offend the emperor, so what Yun Lan means is that if the emperor has made up his mind, just let her accept it with peace of mind.

Qingchen stared at the dress with heavy eyes, feeling uncertain, so he could only say: "I know, let's see what the emperor wants before we talk about it."

Unable to close his eyes during the lunch break, Qingchen thought that the emperor was about to get up, so Qingchen took Yunlan to the imperial study after freshening up.

The fifth son went in to report, and came out after a while and said, "Your Majesty, the emperor let you in."

Qingchen entered the East Nuan Pavilion, and saw that the emperor was immersed in reviewing the memorial, and just about to salute, he heard Xiao Jun say: "Excuse me, how much did you have to say to Mianyue, and you came back so late."

Qingchen said with a smile: "Actually, I didn't say anything, I just went to relax with her in the other garden. I walked half of the garden, and my concubine sent her back, so I came back late."

Seeing that the emperor didn't raise his head, but only curled the corners of his mouth slightly, Qingchen said again: "Your Majesty, I have something I want to tell you."

"Say." Xiao Jun still didn't look up, but just responded lightly.

Qingchen thought of Yun'er's grievances today, and felt pity in his heart, so he said slowly: "When I came back from the other garden today, I happened to meet nobleman Wei who was making a scene in the imperial garden, and Yun'er accidentally soiled it. After taking off her clothes, Xin Chongrong had already apologized in every possible way, and promised to pay her a few bolts of fabric, but Mrs. Wei still humiliated her with insults, and even scared Yun'er to tears. The concubine really couldn't see it. Punish her, I wonder if the emperor has heard about it?"

"Well, I know about this. Mrs. Wei has already been to the Imperial Study Room, and went back crying and making a fuss." Xiao Jun's tone seemed a little helpless, and she sighed: "I have never seen such an ignorant woman. Well, the Wei family's family style is really unflattering. It is said that it is the family of generals, but it doesn't even have a basic family education."

Qingchen followed the emperor's words, and continued to say with some concern, "You are a little nobleman, so you don't take your concubines seriously, let alone mention others. Today she insulted Xin Chongrong with rude words, and she also has a lot of disdain for Yun'er." , Xin Chongrong has no way to coerce her, she can only cry with sadness, if this goes on, when Yun'er is older and more sensible, how sad will the child be?"

Xiao Jun's eyes sank, she put down her pen for a moment, then turned to look at her and asked, "What do you mean?"

Qingchen hesitated for a while, but still felt that it was a bit inappropriate to ask Xin Chongrong to be named directly, so he said tactfully: "Xin Chongrong is not from a high family background, and when Yun'er grows up, even if he grows under Yao Shuyi's knee, if his biological mother is looked down upon by others , His face is not honorable. Those snobbish people, how can they really respect him as the master? The emperor doesn't have many princes, even if he hurts him a little more, others can't say anything. The concubine has no other intentions, just I can't bear to see Yun'er grow up with low self-esteem, he is a noble prince, he really shouldn't be looked down upon by those servants."
