The Virtuous Concubine of the Qing Dynasty

Chapter 82

Back then, Yougui knew that Jiaorong was getting close to the emperor, so without saying a word, he beat her back to the lowest rank of maids in Yanxi Palace, and she was bound to prevent her from seeing the emperor again.But today's Concubine Yi, knowing that the emperor doesn't mean anything pure to her, is still willing to let her hang around the emperor?
Jiaorong was stunned for a while, blinked her eyelashes slightly, put her hands in front of her belly, and said softly: "Your Majesty's kindness is appreciated, but a servant is a slave after all, and a slave will not do such unruly things. Your Majesty will also Learn to protect your own rights and don't blindly treat others well."

Hearing Jiaorong's words, Concubine Yi was slightly taken aback.Ever since she learned that the emperor is interested in Jiaorong, she has been in a complicated state of mind. She is only 17 years old now, and does not have much concept of love between men and women. In her heart, the emperor is only the emperor, not a beloved husband. .

So after knowing the emperor's thoughts on Jiaorong, Concubine Yi didn't feel any jealousy. She was thinking more about, from Jiaorong's point of view, if becoming the emperor's concubine, would there be more advantages or disadvantages? .

Although Jiaorong is smart and caring, she is still a child, because she is rebellious and stubborn, her temper and heart are too cold, and she doesn't want to live by others' faces.

Concubine Yi sighed, shook her head slightly, and said softly: "I really can't see through you, I can't get involved in these matters."

Immediately, Concubine Yi frowned lightly, walked a few steps closer to Jiaorong, and said with a complicated expression: "But Jiaorong, you should not always think about yourself in many things, and think more about your family."

Jiaorong looked into Concubine Yi's eyes without knowing why, her face gradually sank, the corners of her mouth moved slightly, and she fell silent.

The emperor had long forgotten about Ma Changzai, until a few days later when the sun was about to set, Ma Changzai sent someone to Qianqing Palace again, and the emperor reluctantly went to Zhongcui Palace.

Maybe it's because Ma Changzai's sons died one after another, and the emperor himself has some grudges against him, especially Ma Changzai Kezi, who is often rumored in the palace. In the end, I will still listen to it.

After the emperor entered the main hall, Ma Changzai rushed out to greet her. Since she gave birth to Changsheng, the emperor seldom came to Zhongcui Palace. It is incomparable to the days when she was so favored.

Today, Ma Chang was wearing a delicate peach-pink gown embroidered with phoenix-tailed butterflies, the powder on his face and the accessories on his head were extremely delicate and gorgeous.But even so, I have to admit that Ma Changzai has given birth to five children so far. She is only in her 20s now, but she looks much older than concubines of the same age. Makeup is used to modify and cover up, and the mental state is not very good.

"Your majesty, you are finally here!" Ma Changzai showed a bright smile, and walked towards the palace facing the emperor, showing [-]% enthusiasm.

The emperor just glanced at her indifferently, didn't say much, just gave a slight "hmm" and asked, "Where is Changsheng?"

"Changsheng is still sleeping, Chenqie, let someone bring Changsheng here." Ma Changzai quickly gave Bai Kui beside him a look, signaling her to hug Changsheng quickly.

Unexpectedly, the next second, the emperor stretched out his hand to signal the two of them to stop, and said in a deep voice: "Since you are sleeping, then there is no need, I just have something to talk to you, it would not be good to wake up Changsheng."

Hearing this, Ma Changzai looked at the emperor blankly, his expression became a little reserved, and he said tentatively, "I don't know what the emperor needs to talk to his concubine about?"

The emperor never showed his emotions on his face. He sat on the wooden chair in the hall and gestured to Ma Changzai with his eyes: "Sit."

Ma Changzai swallowed slightly, knowing that something was wrong, silently sat on the wooden chair next to the emperor, glanced at Bai Kui, and said softly: "Bai Kui, go make a pot of tea for the emperor."

"Yes." Bai Kui nodded slightly, turned and left the main hall.

Then, the emperor looked at the darkened night outside the hall, his eyes became a bit blurred, he rubbed the jade finger on his finger, and said softly: "I remember that the relationship between you and Li Xu is the best in the past. Everything is respectful to you, I don't know the changes that happened in the palace a few days ago, do you know?"

Hearing the name "Li Promise" by chance, Ma Changzai didn't realize it for a while, and after a few seconds, Ma Changzai's eyes darkened.During this period of time, she naturally heard about Li's being demoted one after another, and the things involved were too big, so she naturally didn't want to get involved in it. After all, even if Concubine Yi is easy to bully, she is also a famous family, so she can't easily provoking.

Thinking of this, Ma Changzai pursed his lips, and answered bravely: "The concubine accidentally heard from someone in the palace that the concubine is busy taking care of Changsheng these days, and has not been with sister Congzhen for a long time. Sister Zhen did such a thing. It is also the fault of the concubine, if the concubine can stop her, sister Zhen will not go astray and become what she is today."

Ma Changzai said these words full of regret, the emperor sized her up, he could see a little nervousness and guilty conscience on Ma Changzai's face.Presumably she is also eager to get rid of the relationship at this moment, so as not to affect herself.

The emperor snorted coldly, looked away, and said in a very light voice, "In this way, what Li promised these few times has nothing to do with you?"

Hearing this, Ma Changzai blinked her eyes, she was a bit tougher, she really didn't get involved with these things with Li Congzhen this time, "Your Majesty, my concubine now has longevity, and all her thoughts are spent on longevity. Yes, the concubine naturally did not participate in this kind of matter."

Hearing this, the emperor paused for a while, not knowing what to think about, and finally nodded slightly, as if he agreed that Ma Changzai hadn't done anything: "Okay, I understand."

This time it was Ma Changzai's turn to look serious, she frowned in disappointment, and couldn't help asking: "Your Majesty, did you finally come to Zhongcui Palace just to question your concubines?"

Ma Chang felt clearly in herself that since she gave birth to Changsheng, the emperor has never been interested in her, and even a little bored, she herself doesn't quite understand why.That's all, Changsheng is more or less a prince, but since he was born, the emperor has never shown any love for him, the second elder brother is a prince and they can't compare, but Changsheng's favor is not even the slightest bit of elder brother's love Can't compare.

Even now, Changsheng is almost half a year old, and the emperor has not planned to sequence his teeth into the royal family tree. To put it bluntly, he is waiting for an auspicious day. In fact, everyone understands that the emperor is actually because Ma Chang is there. The princes who gave birth all died before, so the emperor didn't feel that Changsheng could grow up safely.
