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

Chapter 1207 Hidden Murder (14)
Qingchen took off the hollow incense ball on Yixuan's body, opened it to look, and saw that there were realgar, smoked grass, mugwort leaves, nard pine and ice flakes in it, all of which were common spices for regulating qi and preventing snake bites.

After putting it back on for Yixuan, Qingchen told him again: "Don't just play on your own, Heng'er woke up but couldn't come out to play with everyone because of a serious injury, you guys should go visit him too. These few sachets were made by the empress mother and several empresses together, you bring them to Heng'er, and bring some rice dumplings and pastries, it's also a little kindness from your brothers."

Yixuan hurriedly responded, "Yes, my son, I'll call a few emperor brothers to go with me."

Heng'er woke up. Although the little eunuch that Fufeng caught that day admitted that he was pretending to be Qinxue and wanted to frame the queen, but the others did not admit it. He only said that they were the lowest level believers of the Moon Worship Sect, and nothing else I don't know, and I didn't ask anything of value until I died.

With such a sensitive topic, the others secretly glanced at each other, but no one dared to answer. It was Xin Shuyuan who broke the embarrassment first, and asked with a smile: "Empress, why didn't you see the princess? On weekdays, she likes to join in the fun gone."

Qingchen sewed the purse in his hand, hesitated for a moment, and said gently: "Probably went to Concubine Jing's place, she spends most of the day by Concubine Jing's side."

Yao Shuyi also smiled and said: "Isn't that right, the princess and the concubine Jing are very close, the concubine brought Yun'er to visit her there before, and saw that all the clothes on the kang were made for the prince and the princess Shoes and socks, with such dedication, it is better than my own mother..."

Speaking of this, he suddenly realized that he had said something wrong, his face changed slightly, he stuttered, and he was a little embarrassed and didn't know how to continue.

Qingchen didn't care, she pursed her lips slightly and said, "Yes, Concubine Jing is more devoted to these two children than my biological mother is. With her helping me, Bengong really saves a lot of worry, so I always I am grateful to her."

Yao Shuyi saw that the Queen's face was not angry, and knowing that she was not a hypocrite, she was relieved, and hurriedly picked up a purse that she had just made and handed it over: "This is just made by my concubine, Begonia Red The color is delicate, it is suitable for the princess to wear, Madam, what kind of spices should be put in it?"

Qingchen took it over and looked carefully at the delicate embroidery on the purse. The pattern of butterflies wearing flowers was so lifelike, she couldn't help but praise: "Yao Shuyi's needlework is really good, I can't put it down after seeing it, Jingong Han will definitely like it, I thank you for her."

"Your Majesty, you are being polite. It's just a small thing. If the princess likes it, it's too late for the concubine to be happy." Yao Shuyi lowered her head to straighten the silk thread in her hand, thinking that the queen is magnanimous, otherwise this will cause trouble again.

But He Shurong muttered in a low voice: "It's not my own, no matter how much you flatter me, it's useless, can it be true that the prince will treat her as the queen mother in the future?"

If this is the case, no one would dare to pick it up, the smart ones just pretended not to hear, Qingchen stopped the needlework in his hands, raised his eyes and glanced at her, seeing the bitterness on He Shurong's face, he knew that she must be worried because of Rong'er. Not happy, so I didn't bother with her, and just pretended I didn't hear it.

Jinghan left the Kunyi Palace and went straight to the imperial study room. Fuquan saw her coming from a distance, and quickly turned around to report. Before he could finish his sentence, he saw that she had already barged in.

The emperor was sitting under the window reviewing the memorial. Seeing her panting and excited face, he thought that she might have encountered something new, so he asked, "Aren't you going to watch those things in the imperial garden with your mother?" Little eunuch is racing dragon boats, what are you doing here?"

"Father, father, look quickly." Jinghan lifted the hem of her clothes, revealing the pair of soft satin shoes with golden phoenix back, and asked with bright eyes: "Father, do you think my shoes look good? Even among the concubines of father, No one has ever worn such beautiful shoes."

The emperor's eyes flashed, he put down his pen, turned around and looked at the silk shoes on her feet and nodded, "Isn't it? Not only in the palace, but even in the whole capital, there is no second pair of shoes like this. These shoes, They are exactly the same as the pair your mother wore when she was a child."

Jinghan was even happier when she heard what the emperor said. She ran over and lay on his lap, thought for a while and then pouted: "But the queen mother said that these shoes were not for me, but for Wanyue. Cousin's."

"Oh? Really?" The emperor asked with a smile, "Since it wasn't given to you, why did you wear it on your feet?"

If it was said that it was snatched by force, it would inevitably feel shameful, rolled her eyes, and Jinghan said solemnly: "I think my mother's pair of shoes are too small, she doesn't believe it, then I took them and tried them on, and sure enough It's better for me to dress."

"Oh, so that's how it is." With a knowing smile on the corner of the emperor's mouth, he deliberately teased her and said, "Then you came out wearing these shoes, does your mother know?"

Jinghan didn't answer, but just rubbed back and forth on him, her small face was obviously unhappy.

The emperor picked her up and laughed, "Your mother made these shoes for you, otherwise how could you wear them so well?"

Jinghan said with some disbelief: "But she said it was for Cousin Wanyue, and the queen mother rarely makes clothes, shoes and socks for my brother and me."

The emperor felt a little uncomfortable, and tried his best to draw the relationship between their mother and daughter closer in words, "That's because you always refused to wear embroidered shoes, so your mother said that on purpose. You have to believe that father and your mother They all love you. Since they were shoes worn by your mother when she was a child, how could she give them to others?
Wanyue is half a year older than you, she can't wear these shoes no matter what, if they were really made for her, how could they make you wear them so well? "

Jinghan's eyes were shining, and a big smile appeared on her face again, and she said with a crooked smile: "It really is so, it turns out that the mother is coaxing me."

The emperor saw the hollowed-out silver incense ball she was wearing around her waist, held it in her hand, and asked, "It's really unique. Usually, the larger ones are hung on the curtains, but it can be made so small and exquisite that it can be worn on the table." body."

Jinghan opened the incense ball, took out the contents and said, "I don't like the smell of camphor, just put mugwort leaves and borneol."

The emperor helped her re-button the incense ball, and ordered Fuquan to say, "Go and bring some pastries to the princess. Aren't there newly made glutinous rice dumplings? Bring some too."

Jinghan shouted at Fuquan's back: "Eunuch Fu, I only want candied dates."

"Yes, princess, the servant knows." Fuquan agreed, and went to bring her something to eat. Jinghan slid off the emperor and started to look at the newly added decorations in the imperial study. Generally, if she saw something she liked, So it was brought directly to her.
