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

Chapter 977 Birthday (33)
Murong Shaocheng nodded slightly, glanced at Xiao Jue without a trace, then turned to look at Qing Chen who was seated there, seeing her sitting there with a cold expression, calm and measured in every move, he couldn't help showing an appreciative smile, such a clever girl, he likes it!What happened today, if he was not mistaken, was a complete reversal. The little eunuch named Meng Tian might not have lied, but he was not smart enough.

Inadvertently seeing Qing Chen glance over here, Murong Shaocheng raised his glass with a charming smile on his face, but received a blank stare from the other party.He was slightly taken aback, and then poured himself a drink with a smile on his face, thinking that this little girl could really hold a grudge, but just kissed her, this feeling was like being at the mercy of him.

Qingchen was still in the mood to eat at the moment, so he drank a few sips of wine sullenly, then stared at the dancing girls in the hall in a trance.Recalling the hardships I have walked this way, I feel emotional in my heart, and I can't help but drink a few more glasses.

Concubine, concubine, and imperial concubine to this day, every time she is promoted, she has to experience life and death more than once. The road ahead is difficult, the higher the status, the more dangers she has to endure.Others only envy her grace and status, but no one has ever seen her difficulty.

Seeing her not moving her chopsticks, Xiao Jun looked over with concern and asked, "What's the matter, but is the food not to your liking? What do you want to eat, I asked Fu Quan to order the Imperial Dining Room to cook for you alone."

Probably because of drinking on an empty stomach, after only a while, she felt the strength of the alcohol coming up and her face was burning uncomfortably, so she begged: "Your Majesty, this concubine is probably drunk and wants to go out to get some air."

Xiao Jun was a little worried, it could be seen that she kept pulling on her collar, so she told Yun Lan and Jin Xiu, "You two follow and take care of you, don't go far, just stay on the porch for a while. .”

The two hurriedly responded, helped her carefully down the steps, and walked unnoticed from the side door to the corridor.

The fragrant lily is burning in the copper tripod under the corridor, and the green smoke is curling up, which smells fragrant in the skirts of the palace people passing by.

Standing on the porch, Qingchen was blown by the cold wind, and suddenly felt a lot more awake.

Dark clouds overwhelmed the top, and the snow particles that started to fall outside at some point had already spread a thin layer under the steps. The crackling snow particles hit the evergreen trees under the corridor, and occasionally some jumped into the corridor, and immediately turned into snow water.

She stood there silently, thinking about her own thoughts quietly, letting the cold wind blow the red auspicious cloud pattern cloak in the white fox on her body and slipping off her shoulders without feeling it.

Afraid that she would catch a cold, Yun Lan carefully helped her close the cloak, and softly persuaded: "Your Majesty, go back after standing for a while, don't let the emperor worry."

Sure enough, within a short while, Xiao Wuzi came out to find her and said, "Madam, is there any discomfort? The emperor asked if you want to invite an imperial doctor?"

Qingchen saw that Gu Yunfeng was already waiting outside the hall, but she knew it herself, but she was just drunk. Apart from a little pain in her knees, there was nothing serious about it, so she said, "No need, I want to stay outside for a while, you can go back and tell me Your Majesty, let him not worry."

Seeing a girl passing by with tea, Xiao Wuzi hurriedly beckoned her to come over, and asked: "Your Majesty, have a cup of tea and wake up, the slave will go and answer."

Qing Chen waved his hand to the little maid and said, "Go down, I am not thirsty."

The little maid bowed her knees, agreed and retreated.

Inadvertently raising her eyes, she saw Xiao Jue coming out of the hall, she looked like she was looking for someone, and when she saw her standing in the corridor, she quickly walked over and asked, "Chen'er, are you okay?"

Qingchen said with a faint smile: "Your Highness, don't worry, I've already gotten used to such thrilling scenes, and I've already learned how to deal with them calmly. It's not a big deal, but it's just a question of who has the quickest mind and knows how to seize the opportunity." .”

Hearing what she said, Xiao Jue was actually not happy at all. Is she already numb?How many things does a person have to go through before he can make his heart so hardened by the vicissitudes of life that he appears so indifferent in the face of life and death?
"Chen'er, have you ever thought about being able to leave here one day?"

"No, I won't leave. I will be where the emperor is." Qingchen replied without hesitation, and whispered with some pity in his eyes: "What the emperor has suffered is far worse than what I have seen. Hard work, this throne is not what he wanted. For the great work and for the people of the world, he shouldered the responsibilities and burdens that should not belong to him, but who has thought about his feelings, and who has thought about him? What do you need? If even I leave, then all he has left is a cold throne."

What she thinks in her heart is always about the emperor.Xiao Jue looked at her in pain, and seemed to be struggling in his heart. After a long time, he asked: "Chen'er, do you only have the emperor in your heart?"

Qingchen didn't dare to meet Xiao Jue's gaze, and said in a faint voice while looking at the boundless sky, "Your Highness, I am the emperor's concubine, and I can't have anyone else in my heart."

Xiao Jue looked at her deeply, sighed softly, turned around and left silently, the lonely figure made people feel distressed.

Murong Shaocheng, who was not far away, leaned on the pillars under the porch, had a panoramic view of all this, saw Xiao Jue left, then came over and said with a smile: "The imperial concubine is very happy, she escaped from the hall just now, what will happen now?" Zizi is still in the mood to enjoy the snow here, I don’t know if you really don’t care, or you want to come out and calm down?”

Qingchen knew who it was by hearing the voice, turned around to face Murong Shao and received blessings, and said solemnly: "Just now, I would like to thank the prince for his generous help, I am very grateful."

Murong Shaocheng was slightly taken aback, then returned to his usual manner and smiled: "Don't, don't, Xiao Wang really doesn't get used to your appearance. You should be more aggressive with me, so that I will feel more comfortable."

Qingchen asked with a smile: "So the prince likes fierce women?"

Murong Shaocheng's eyes darkened slightly, and he seemed to have some feelings and said: "There's nothing wrong with being fierce, at least you know how to protect yourself. It's not a good thing for a woman to be gentle and submissive."

Qingchen could tell from his eyes that maybe his unrestrainedness was no different from the previous Xiao Jue, because the person he liked was gone, so the women who looked around the world were not the one he liked, so it didn't matter if he was sincere If you don't want to be sincere, just play and be happy every time.It is often the extent of the smile, the depth of the hurt in the heart.

But she didn't want to think about it deeply. Women in this era are always involuntary, especially men in the royal family, and it is even more impossible for them to marry independently. It would not be surprising if they were beaten with a stick.

She smiled slightly and asked: "So the prince wants to marry the princess in the future because he wants to choose a powerful shrew?"

Murong Shaocheng leaned over and whispered in his ear: "If I can't wait for you, this king will never get married. There is nothing in this world that this king can't get. You don't have to rush to refuse. One day you will know, only I can." It is the person who is the best match for you, and only I can prevent you from living like this."
