Chapter 339
Hua Xiaoqiao knew what the emperor meant, and even for Qin Mu's sake, it was impossible to leak this matter.

"Minnv won't let others know."

Seeing Hua Xiaoqiao's upright attitude, the emperor smiled slightly: "You little girl is really capable, and I appreciate it very much. If you want to be Qin Mu's side concubine in the future, I can marry you."

Hua Xiaoqiao was a little surprised when she heard it, but it's always bad to disobey the emperor, but she didn't want to marry Qin Mu, so she could only smile bitterly and said: "Since the emperor gave the prince a marriage, the daughter of the people knows her identity very well. I am not worthy of the prince, I only hope that the prince and the concubine will play harmoniously, and the daughter of the people has no other ideas." She is not stupid. If she really becomes a side concubine, she will be finished for the rest of her life, and she does not want a man with many women, She couldn't finish being jealous.

It doesn't hurt if you don't move your heart. She knows very well what her choice is. Even if she is marrying a very ordinary person, as long as she treats her wholeheartedly, she will be fine. She doesn't want power, status and money. strive for.

The emperor was very surprised and did not expect Hua Xiaoqiao to think so, looked at Hua Xiaoqiao with some surprise and said: "Don't you want to marry Qin Mu?"

He felt that if he could come to the palace with Qin Mu to beg him, he would definitely not deceive him. He also felt a little bit guilty towards Hua Xiaoqiao in his heart, but he didn't expect Hua Xiaoqiao to be a little ungrateful at all.

Hua Xiaoqiao sighed and looked at the emperor sadly, knowing that she couldn't tell the truth, so she could only say regretfully: "It's not that the emperor's daughter doesn't like the prince or doesn't want to be with him. Ms. Zuo is a well-educated and reasonable person, it is really... In fact, what Minnv yearns for most in her life is to be able to stay with the one she loves for the rest of her life, but now... and Minnv knows that it is a bit bold to say the following, but they are all folks. The feeling in the girl's heart also asks the emperor not to blame the girl."

She decided to tell the truth, but she had thought about what she wanted to say for a long time. Even if she said it, she didn't have to worry about the emperor's suspicion or anything.

The emperor looked at Hua Xiaoqiao and signaled her to continue: "You tell me, I promise you I won't blame you."

Hua Xiaoqiao raised her head to look at the emperor and said: "Your Majesty, although I like the lord very much, I also know that I have nothing to do with the lord in this life. I know that I am not worthy of the lord. Even if you are with the prince, you will be ridiculed. Minnv doesn't want the prince to be wronged because of the minnv. What the minnv is doing now is just wanting the prince to be happy, and there is really nothing else to pray for. In Minnv's mind, as long as the prince can live well, nothing else matters, so please ask the emperor to become all the minnv, so that the minnv will stand behind the prince silently and help the prince."

She doesn't want the emperor to give the marriage and everything is over, even if she wants to leave, she can't have a perfect chance, and now she is going to be beheaded every now and then, she doesn't want to be guilty of that kind of crime herself, it's not easy to live Why die.

The concubine not far away glanced at Hua Xiaoqiao in surprise, and slowly walked in front of Hua Xiaoqiao.

Then he glanced at the emperor and said: "The emperor's concubine wants to ask this Miss Hua a few words."

Hua Xiaoqiao looked at the middle-aged but well-maintained and beautiful woman in front of her. Although the clothes on her body were exquisite and gorgeous, the beauty and style of the woman's face could not be concealed by these things.

I was a little surprised by the coquettish eyes, she didn't look at her carefully just now but she didn't expect her to be so good-looking.

The emperor nodded in agreement.

The concubine took Hua Xiaoqiao's hand and said softly: "I am Concubine De, you can also call me Concubine De, I heard that the girl's mother passed away very early, right?"

Hua Xiaoqiao had a lot of doubts in her heart. She didn't know why this concubine in front of her was gossiping like this. It was a little inconceivable that she still cared about such a small person, and even knew about her mother's death.

The doubt in her eyes made Concubine De smiled and comforted her: "You don't have to be nervous, I just ask you this because I want to tell you the next thing."

She is completely puzzled, she is not a powerful person, the emperor's attitude towards me is a bit weird, but I didn't expect Defei to be like this, she didn't know that Defei wanted to ask her these things, and she always felt that all the things that happened today Things are weird.

The emperor seemed to know what Concubine De was going to say, so he interrupted: "Concubine De, don't you think..."

Concubine De looked back at the emperor with a gentle smile and said: "My lord, that's what I mean. I think Hua Xiaoqiao looks like my dead daughter. Can you..."

dead daughter?Does the clichéd scene in the TV series still have to appear on her?She looked at Concubine De in disbelief and always felt that she was so lucky.

Concubine De looked at her tenderly and said softly: "Don't be afraid that I won't do anything to you."

The emperor took a deep breath and obviously hesitated. After thinking about it, he asked: "Miss Hua, I wonder if what you just said is true?"

"Everything that the daughter of the people said to the emperor today is true, and I hope the emperor can clearly see it."

She is not a fool, how can she tell a lie in front of the emperor, even if there is a lie in the middle, she still has to pretend to be true.

Concubine De had a pleading look in her eyes, and seeing the emperor's heart soften, Hua Xiaoqiao looked at the emperor and sighed in obvious embarrassment before saying: "Concubine De, if you like Xiao Qiao, you can call Xiao Qiao into the palace to accompany you at any time. You can understand that other matters are not child's play."

Hua Xiaoqiao saw the disappointment in Concubine De's eyes, but for some reason she breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, the bloody thing didn't happen to her. If it really happened, it would be funny. What can she do? .

The emperor smiled slightly and said in a strong voice: "Concubine De is too lonely. If you have time, you can go to the palace to spend more time with Concubine De. It is rare for Concubine De to meet someone she likes in so many years. I will give you the token and you can use it anytime in the future. Entering the palace, just remember not to lose the token."

This time Hua Xiaoqiao was completely surprised, she never expected that the emperor would give her the token to enter the palace, this is not a small matter and what is Defei's trouble?
She always felt that Concubine De's eyes were too gentle when she looked at her, and the light in those eyes made her completely unbearable, full of the radiance of a loving mother.

Well, just now Concubine De said that she had a daughter who died before, maybe she really resembles her dead daughter in some ways?Anyway, she doesn't think the palace is a good place and she doesn't like to come here.

It would be good if he could reject Concubine De's kindness, but if he couldn't, it would depend on the situation, and he couldn't trap himself into it.

It just so happened that the father-in-law came in at this time.

"The emperor has already come to court."

The emperor stood up and walked out, walked to Hua Xiaoqiao's side and stopped for a while, looked at Hua Xiaoqiao with a smile on his face and said: "It's still early and wait for the dawn before leaving."

Of course Hua Xiaoqiao didn't dare to disobey the emperor's will and could only agree, although she wanted to leave here quickly.

When the emperor left Concubine De, he took her hand enthusiastically. She felt a little touched by the warmth of Concubine De's palm, and was even more moved when she thought of Concubine De's kindness to her.

"Concubine De, what is this?"

She still felt a little awkward in her heart, except for Aunt Liao who was so kind to her, there really was no other woman who was so kind to her, but she was a little scruples in her heart, she didn't know what she was worried about, she just thought Whether he treats her as her dead daughter or not, in fact, he just wants to seek a little comfort in his heart.

Concubine De has been able to survive in the palace for so many years and has always been loved by the emperor. Of course she has her own ability. She must have her own ability to stand tall in this harem. Naturally, Hua Xiaoqiao listened to it when there was doubt in her words. When she came out, she felt Hua Xiaoqiao's guard against her, smiled and comforted Hua Xiaoqiao to stop panicking.

The words are full of tenderness: "Miss Hua, don't be afraid, I just see that you are more compatible, so..."

Hua Xiaoqiao was still a little nervous. After all, she felt that there were too many puzzles. She felt that Concubine De had treated her like this by surprise, but she didn't know how to refuse. After much deliberation, she could only say: " Just now I heard Concubine De say about her daughter... Although Minnv knows it's rude to ask such a question..."

Concubine De gave a wry smile, glanced at Hua Xiaoqiao with sadness in her eyes, and then sighed: "This matter is not a secret anymore, everyone in the palace knows about it. One of my daughters drowned in her early years."

This made Hua Xiaoqiao cover her mouth with her hands in surprise and looked at Concubine De worriedly. She didn't expect such a thing to happen.

"She..." She wanted to say something, but when she thought of the filth in the harem, she seemed to be able to understand the sadness in Concubine De's eyes. In such an environment, many things were beyond her control. I have a deep understanding, for example, she couldn't make decisions by herself just now.

Concubine De took her hand and walked to the side of the couch to signal her to sit down, and she also sat next to her. Concubine De's eyes were full of kindness when she looked at her tenderly. With such eyes, she knew that this was The way a mother looks at her children.

Concubine De didn't intend to hide Hua Xiaoqiao, people are sometimes so strange, maybe it's the first time they meet, but they trust each other like this, the inexplicable trust even she herself can't explain why.

Jiang Rujin looked at Concubine De and felt a little worried, afraid that she would offend Concubine De and these people she could not afford to offend.

Concubine De gave a wry smile before she said bitterly: "At the age of eight she didn't listen to me and went to the lakeside of the Royal Garden by herself, leaving the maid in charge. It was summer and the lotus bloomed very beautifully. She liked lotus very much. In summer, the court lady would pick a lot of lotus and put them in the vase in the house. The whole room was filled with the fragrance of lotus. At that time, she thought that the lotus by the lake had to be picked by herself. In a dangerous place, I was always worried that something would happen but I didn't expect that the thing I was most worried about happened in the end."

Hua Xiaoqiao seemed to have guessed what happened, maybe she fell into the water or she herself was killed.

Such a thought flashed through her mind, she looked at Concubine De and listened to the woman in front of her continue to narrate: "She went to the lake alone and didn't know what happened back then, when the maid came to look for it, she only saw that There are her shoes by the lake and how many lotus flowers are still budding on the bank. I salvaged them at the time and finally found a dead body. When I saw you just now, Miss Hua, I thought she was back. You The eyes and mouth really look like her."

Hua Xiaoqiao was a little sad in her heart, she really couldn't bear to see the sadness in De Fei's eyes.

"De Concubine's past is over, you still have to look forward." She didn't know how to persuade others and could only talk about her own feelings.

Concubine De smiled wryly and said: "I also know that the past is over, but I still can't let it go, after all, it's the flesh that fell from my body, who would be willing to let it go."

She has only this daughter in her life, but she doesn't want to suffer such a bad luck. No one can accept it, so she also missed several opportunities in her life and didn't let herself get pregnant, because the hurt in her heart was too deep, so she couldn't do anything in the end. forgive yourself.

Hua Xiaoqiao sympathizes with Concubine De a little bit. The biggest regret in this life is that a white-haired person gives a black-haired person. Life and death are impermanent but it is a good thing to avoid it, but now you can't avoid it and you can only accept your fate.

She looked at Concubine De and comforted her and said, "Concubine De is better to look forward to everything. I can understand how you feel about this matter, and of course I don't want you to continue to struggle with this matter. I don't know if Concubine De will let it go." Down."

lay down?She wanted to let go but it was easier said than done, Concubine De knew better than anyone else that she couldn't do such a thing by herself.

"Little Qiao, you are a good girl. The first time I saw you, I really thought it was my child, but I also know that you are a child who doesn't like to be restrained. The emperor doesn't agree with me being so reckless, but the only request I don't know Can you promise me?"

Hua Xiaoqiao could feel what Concubine De said to the emperor just now. Perhaps what Concubine De said was that she wanted to recognize her as a goddaughter, but the emperor did not agree. A little uneasy.

She didn't answer directly but said with a faint smile: "Actually, the greatest happiness in my life in my heart is freedom. I can do what I want freely. It's okay to hang out with men, but these are nothing to me, after all, I have to pay the price for the path I choose, after all, I have to pay for what I choose."

With a wry smile in her heart, she was thinking about the things she had encountered in the past few days, and she felt more and more that she should plan well, and she should not be led by the nose, nor could she be stirred into such a whirlpool. The struggle for power is the cruelest.

She herself has experienced it herself, so she knows the cruelty in the middle, and she also knows that these things are not something that an ordinary woman can participate in. In the harem, the concubine De can always be favored by the emperor, and she can always stand in the harem. With ability, and seeing Concubine De's appearance, she should be someone who loves Qin Mu very much. Otherwise, the emperor would not talk about Qin Mu in front of Concubine De.
