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

Chapter 11 The Grace of Dripping Water
Gu Manqin held Qingchen's hand and asked: "Didn't what happened today wake you up?

The emperor loved Concubine Shu very much, and she relied on her family's influence to run amok in the harem, even the Queen and Concubine Ning were ignored.

With your aptitude, it is not difficult to get the emperor's favor, and since Mr. Xiao is favored, you will also have the opportunity to see the emperor often, so you must find a way to make the emperor like you and plan for your future.

As long as the emperor likes you, who will dare to bully you in the future? "

Qing Chen smiled and asked: "My sister's empress in the palace, Concubine He Gui, often attends her bed. Did my sister ever think about going to be in her honor, so that she can share some of the emperor's favor?"

"she?"

Gu Manqin sneered and said: "Every time the emperor goes to Huayu Palace, she asks the servants to watch me closely in advance, lest I snatch the emperor away, and guard against me like a thief."

Hearing what she said so bluntly, Qingchen couldn't help laughing and said, "It's fine if my sister knows."

Gu Manqin said again: "You are different from me. You are a noble person with a title. At least you are more noble than nobleman Xiao. No matter how unhappy she is, she dare not use force on you, right? It's not that you can't, but you don't want to."

Just as he was talking, Li Quan, the little father-in-law next to the empress, came to invite him: "I have seen nobleman Wan, Gu Chang is here, and the empress has something to do, please go to Chengkun Palace."

The two glanced at each other, probably knowing that it was because of Xue Jieyu's miscarriage, and probably the queen wanted to ask about their situation at that time, so she followed Li Quan to Chengkun Palace.

Sure enough, as they thought, the queen asked very carefully.

Including how Xue Jieyu fell off at that time, what's wrong with her shoulders and so on.

Qingchen only said that the situation happened so suddenly that he didn't pay attention to it at first, but later because he was afraid, he didn't notice anything, and just helped put Xue Jieyu into the soft sedan chair and carried her back.

After hearing this, the queen was moved again, and then said that Liu Gu Changzai still had some things to do, so she asked Qingchen to go back first.

She didn't tell the truth because she knew that the queen might not be trustworthy.

What happened today, the mastermind behind the scenes is unknown, if she rashly reveals her discovery, what awaits her may be a disaster.

Sometimes, it doesn't matter what the truth is. Only by surviving can you be qualified to say anything else.

Coming out of Chengkun Palace and passing through the Imperial Garden, Qingchen heard a whimpering cry, she led Jinxiu to search for the sound all the way there, and saw a little palace maid huddled behind a rock and was crying sadly.

Qingchen saw that her eyes were raw, her body was bruised, and the corner of her mouth was bleeding, and she was crying pitifully, so she asked, "Which palace are you a maid from, why are you crying here alone?"

The little maid didn't know her, she just looked at her with fear and tearful eyes and didn't speak.

Jinxiu smiled and said, "This is nobleman Wan from Yinfengxuan."

The little palace maid hastily wiped her tears and knelt down, "Returning to the master, the servant girl is Xiaomei, the maidservant of the Clothes Bureau. When she was washing clothes today, she accidentally rubbed a piece of Feng Wanrong's clothes. Auntie saw that the clothes were expensive. Really, I blame the servant girl for being clumsy and clumsy, so I had someone beat the servant girl and drive her out."

Seeing that she was pitiful, Qingchen looked honest and calm, and thought that she was still short of manpower anyway, so he might as well just ask her to come over.

Then he asked: "It looks like your situation in the Huanyi Bureau is not good. I wonder if you are willing to follow me, but my place is also very deserted. It's just that life is easier than in the Huanyi Bureau."

No matter how unfavored the master is, it is much better than the Huanyi Bureau.

The little maid immediately kowtowed and said: "My servant can meet nobleman Wan today, the beating is worth it, this servant is considered lucky, it is my blessing that your nobleman does not think your servant is clumsy, how dare this servant be unwilling."

Qingchen said with a smile: "Then you get up, I will let your sister Jinxiu accompany you back to the Clothes Bureau, tell the aunt in charge there, let her not make things difficult for you, and come over after helping you pack your things. "

Xiaomei said happily: "I would like to follow the nobleman's order."

Then he stood up and blessed Jinxiu again, "I have seen sister Jinxiu."

Jinxiu quickly helped her up, "You don't need to be so polite, just follow us back."

Jinxiu first sent Qingchen back to Yinfengxuan. Jinxin had knelt for an hour and waited anxiously at the door. When she saw Qingchen came back, she asked, "Why did you spend so long outside today? I have been here several times, but seeing that the nobleman is not here, I have to go back, saying that I will come back later."

Qingchen held her hand and entered the room, feeling sore and exhausted all over.

"I encountered a lot of things today, and I'm too tired to go into details. You can ask Jinxiu when you have time."

Jin Xin hurriedly brought tea, "Drink a cup of ginger tea to warm up your body first, and the servants will prepare dinner."

Qingchen grabbed her and said, "Don't be busy, I have something to tell you."

The corners of Jin Xin's mouth drooped, and she hurriedly said: "I know what the nobleman wants to tell me. I was wrong about what happened today. I have thought about it clearly. In the future, we will encounter big things. We shouldn't ask about it. I will never say a word more.

Your lord is right, we really have no weight in this palace, anyone who just finds an excuse can take our lives.

Even if Lan Guiren is favored like that, he will go as soon as he says it.The servants can think of some of the things here, and know the severity.

The servants will never dare again, their own lives and deaths are small, and I am afraid that they will bring the nobles with them. "

Seeing that she had figured it out, Qingchen felt relieved, held her hand and said, "I punished you because I was really afraid of losing you. In my heart, you and Jinxiu are my only relatives in this world." , You said the wrong thing and did the wrong thing, how can I not be nervous?
You can do whatever you want in front of me, but if you leave the gate of Yinfengxuan, no one can trust you.

You are complaining about Ye Ronghua today, but maybe one day she will become our enemy, and what you say today will become criminal evidence tomorrow.

There are no permanent friends in this palace, but there are permanent enemies. You have to learn how to protect yourself.Leave yourself a way out in everything you say and do, and try not to cause trouble. "

Jin Xin said with tears in her eyes: "Your servant understands, I will definitely remember your nobleman's words in the future, think twice before acting, and will never be as reckless as today."

Qingchen patted her hand comfortingly, "That's good, I'm really tired today, you go get me some water, I want to wash up and lie down for a while."

Jin Xin looked at the sky and said: "It's time for dinner, you should eat something before going to bed. Besides, Yun Feng will come to check your pulse soon, how about waiting a while?"

Qingchen nodded, "I don't have much appetite to eat, so I'll wash up and wait for Yunfeng."

At the moment Jin Xin was helping her change and wash, and when Yun Feng came over, she was sitting on the kang taking a nap.

Yun Feng saw that she was sluggish, and her cheeks were a little red. After taking her pulse, Yun Feng asked in surprise, "It's clear that she's almost recovered, why did it happen again all of a sudden? This disease just started to improve, and you went out for a walk around here. It's been a long time, and I'm tired."
