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

Chapter 106
When they arrived at Chengkun Palace, the queen hadn't finished grooming, but all the concubines had almost arrived.Empress Shaoqing came out and sat down on the carved nanmu throne in the main hall. All the concubines got up and greeted the empress together.

With a gentle smile on the queen's face, she said in a gentle voice: "They are all my sisters, let's all be flat."

Then another little girl took a bright yellow goose feather cushion with dark patterns of bamboo leaves and put it down. Qingchen came out and knelt down and said, "My concubine pays her respects to the empress, and the empress is a thousand years old." Then respectfully The reverent made three knocks and nine bows.

The queen didn't cry out for the time being, and only gently admonished as usual: "Concubines of the emperor, you must abide by women's morality, put the emperor first in everything, don't be arrogant because of favors, and get along with each other in harmony, and don't be jealous of others The emperor is troubled."

Qingchen only felt mocked by such a high-sounding admonition, but still put on a humble and humble look on his face, and then bent down and kowtowed: "The concubine respectfully obeys the empress's instruction."

The little palace maid at the side came to help her, and Qingchen leaned down next to Concubine Ning again, "Concubine sees the empress, and greets all the sisters." He wanted to be by her side, so he didn't have to look at Concubine Shu's face.

Concubine Ning hurriedly helped her up and said with a smile: "They are all my sisters, and they will serve the emperor together in the future, so you don't need to be polite, please go and sit down."

"Thank you madam."

Qingchen bowed his head and retreated to his own position, heaving a sigh of relief.

Under the Empress today, as usual, Concubine Shu and Concubine Ning sit first on both sides. Concubine Ning is seated by Concubine Qin, Concubine Xin, Hao Shuyuan, Lin Wanyi, and Sang Wanrong; Concubine Shu is seated by Concubine He Gui, Concubine Leng Zhaoyi, Yao Shuyi, Ye Wanrong.There were a few empty chairs, presumably because he was sick.

Concubine Shu glanced over and said with disdain: "I thought that Wan Chongrong would guard her perfect body forever. I never thought that there would be a day when I couldn't bear the loneliness. I got a big deal with a painting. He also won the favor of the emperor, this scheming is really extraordinary, it seems that Wan Chongrong is far from being as soft and chaste as she appears on the surface, she is a very manipulative person."

What she said was straightforward and merciless, and Qingchen felt a little annoyed in his heart. Before she could open her mouth, Sang Wanrong on the opposite side said sourly: "That's not true, who told me to be the disciple of Qin Zishuo, son of Qiao? Is it comparable to us ordinary people?"

Qingchen glanced at the concubines calmly, seeing disdain, ridicule, and indifference on everyone's faces, thought for a while and smiled calmly: "The empress knows best why the concubine wants to give a painting. But The concubines don't understand the meaning of the empress. Since they are all the concubines of the emperor, how can the concubines die forever? The emperor is a young son, it is normal to have more concubines to serve him, unless he is extremely jealous and jealous jealous wife, otherwise how could we not allow the emperor to be exposed to both rain and dew?"

Concubine Shu glanced at her from the corner of her eyes, her eyes were full of resentment, "An intolerant jealous woman? Are you talking about yourself?"

Qingchen didn't care about her attitude at all, and said with a gentle smile, "The favor of a concubine is far less than that of a concubine, and I can't afford to be a jealous woman."

Concubine Qin glanced sideways at Concubine Shu, as if persuading, but also with a hint of schadenfreude and sarcasm, "When it comes to special favors, the emperor spent most of the month at Concubine Shu's place, Concubine Shu The empress can be said to favor the Sixth Palace, why have I not seen the emperor for a few days, and I am so restless?"
