Concubine, she is so charming

Chapter 374 Unsteady

As expected, in the next ten days until the Chinese New Year, Ning Chen went to Qian Jieyu's place five times in addition to Zhao Chunxuan once.

Either have a meal, or just sit and sit, anyway, there are a lot of people going there.

So some people speculated whether it was because the empress dowager had fallen, and the emperor could not care about the face of the Chen family, so he transferred the emperor's favor to Qian Jieyu.

Obviously, this is the most reasonable explanation that everyone can see.

No matter what, because of his family background, he is still himself, as long as he is favored, he will be envied and flattered by others.

In the past, because of the Empress Dowager, the Ministry of Internal Affairs did not dare to detain Qian Jieyu, but if it was superfluous, there would never be any.

But it was different since Ning Chen came several times.

The snacks and meals are extra filial, and even the roof and windows of the east wing where Yao Guangxuan lives are well repaired.

After entering the palace for six years, it is naturally old, but no one repaired it for her before.

Now it's time to catch up.

All the servants were very happy, but Qian Jieyu felt uneasy when she saw the boxes of jewelry just presented on the table.

The contact these few days made her clearly feel that her cousin of the emperor is not as kind as he appears on the surface.

I always feel that I am approaching her with a purpose.

But thunder, rain and dew are all the grace of the king, so she couldn't help but bear them one by one.

It's just that you can't help restraining the servants around you over and over again, remember to act in a low-key manner, and don't make trouble by making publicity.

At the end of December, the New Year's Eve palace banquet.

I thought that the queen mother who was recovering from illness would not be present, but Ning Chen still invited her out.

But it was just an effort to show his face, and he left after sitting for less than a stick of incense.

The Empress Dowager's complexion is indeed not good, it seems that she wants to rest.

That's right, even if an old woman who is imprisoned is well-fed and well-clothed, her health will never recover if she has a bad mentality.

Ning Chen's move was not to prove anything, but to protect the Queen Mother's last face.

She didn't even attend such a big occasion, but she was really a titular empress dowager.

After all, it is mother and child, Ning Chen still doesn't want to do that.

But there are really people who can't come to the banquet.

Concubine Yao Taigui fell ill again.

Anyway, the imperial physician's remarks were the result of being frightened in the Compassionate Ning Palace that day.

This statement is not pleasant, so of course I will not say it to the outside world. I only say that the old concubine's old illness has relapsed and she can't get up.

Looking at it now, among the late emperor's concubines, Concubine De, who gave birth to two princesses, was the most stable.

Of course, everyone's attention will not stop at the concubines of the first emperor, after all, the most important thing is the concubines of the current emperor.

Once a year on New Year's Eve, the harem is sealed off, which has become a law.

There is no doubt that Ye Yun will be promoted.

Being favored is something later, the main reason is that she went out of the palace to pray for blessings, but the fourth prince was almost murdered in the palace, and Ning Chen did it in the name of appeasement.

This promotion is Zhaoyi, and after another promotion, she will be able to enter the second rank concubine.

Hui Zhaoyuan was also promoted with her, and it meant a reward for her.

Further down, Yi Shunyi was promoted to Zhaorong, and finally squeezed into the third concubine among the nine concubines.

And Wan Xiuyi's promotion to Xiuyuan is still compensation.

I thought it was over here, but Ning Chen paused and said suddenly.

"Qian Jieyu should be promoted to repair the ceremony. Qian Jieyu has been in the palace for many years, and she has served the Queen Mother diligently and submissively. The British Duke has shared my worries for many years. A concubine deserves it."

Qian Jieyu was taken aback, and quickly got up, "The emperor loves me so much, but my concubine has no achievements and no children, so I am ashamed to be a concubine."

"You are my first cousin. I had a big temper when I was young, so I neglected you for many years. Now you are giving me a chance to make up for it. If I say you can afford it, then you can afford it." Ning Chen waved his hand.

When it came to this point, there was no room for rejection, so Qian Xiuyi had no choice but to accept the title.

Ning Chen smiled again and said, "Modest and submissive, the title I gave you is correct."

This time he continued to boast and looked serious, making it difficult for people to tell whether he was sincere or not.

But no matter what, Qian Xiuyi's promotion is still a good thing for the Chen family.

Even that night, Ning Chen went to Qian Xiuyi's place to stay overnight.

No one has this honor except the Queen.

For a moment, the harem looked sideways.

On the first day of the second day, I had to get up early and kneel at the Taimiao.

It was still dark and I couldn't see my fingers, but suddenly I heard the door being pushed open.

Ye Yun opened her eyes in a daze, maybe she was about to get up soon, but she was too cold to move.

He turned his back to the outside and shrank into the bed.

It snowed suddenly in the middle of the night last night, so I burned a few more charcoal basins for it.

"Is it time?"

"Not yet, you can sleep for another half an hour."

The voice was not from Huiyue. Ye Yun was so startled that she woke up and quickly turned over to reveal half of her head to look out.

Sure enough, he saw the familiar tall figure.

"Why is the emperor here? It's not yet dawn." Ye Yun didn't understand very much.

Didn't he go to Yaoguangxuan to rest yesterday? What kind of operation did he get up early in the morning to come to her.

Ning Chen directly took off his coat, shoes and socks and sat on the bed, opening the curtain.

"I didn't sleep well, so I came to you for a while."

After speaking, he lifted the quilt and got in, hugging him.

Naturally, his body couldn't be warmer than the quilt at the moment, and Ye Yun couldn't help but shiver from the cold.

But just a moment.

It is naturally comfortable to be hugged to sleep in winter, but at the moment I am still very sleepy, so I don't ask any more questions and sleep together.

It's just that she didn't know that Ning Chen came here early in the morning because he had an unpleasant dream at Qian Xiuyi's place.

In the dream, Ye Yun was annoyed because he favored Qian Xiuyi everywhere, and he closed the door and never saw him again. He ordered someone to forcibly open the door of Zhao Chunxuan, but the inside was covered with dust and cobwebs. .

Only an elderly court lady bowed to him tremblingly.

Hearing Ye Yun mentioned by him, the maid looked puzzled and replied that Ming Zhaoyuan had passed away long ago.

He asked where the fourth prince had gone.

The old maid replied again, she lost her mother when she was young, and died in a cold war in the palace.

Ning Chen was startled by this dream and broke into a cold sweat, couldn't lie down anymore, got up without any explanation and came to Zhao Chunxuan.

Although it was just a dream, he was really afraid.

He also didn't understand what he loved about this woman, maybe it was her intelligence, maybe it was because she was not as rigid as an ordinary lady, maybe it was because she was sincere and transparent.

In short, there are many points that attract him and make him reluctant to leave her.

So, under the influence of a bizarre dream, the usually calm young emperor did something extremely unsteady.

Early in the morning, the smeared and snow-treading man left the concubine next to him and came to Zhaochunxuan, just to lie down next to Empress Ming in Zhaochunxuan for half an hour.

Of course, other people would be jealous or moved, but if Ye Yun knew that this dog dreamed that she and her son were dead on the first day of the Lunar New Year, he would give him a hard gasp.

So that's why, Ning Chen never told Ye Yun why he did such a thing on the first day of the new year in his whole life.

　Ye Yun: You just died!
