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

Chapter 1211 Hidden Murder (18)
There has never been a shortage of beauties in the palace, but all beauties are more or less ambitious. Relying on their extraordinary appearance, they are not willing to let down such a good age easily. It is obvious that the woman dancing in the palace belongs to this category .

Her eyes seem to be able to speak, every look is pure or charming or like autumn waves rippling in one's heartstrings, even a woman can't move her eyes when she sees her frowns and smiles, feeling jealous, she has to sigh, This is nothing more than the beauty of the world.

The emperor's expression seemed to be quite interested in this woman, but only those who were close could clearly see that there was always a deep chill in his eyes.

After singing and dancing, the woman in red took a step forward, said with a slight blessing, "Your Majesty, I don't know the dance just now, are the Emperor and Empress satisfied?"

The emperor smiled and nodded slightly, "Reward!"

Qingchen didn't say a word, and she didn't know what she was thinking with her lowered eyes. Seeing the looks on the faces of the concubines who were about to watch the excitement, Concubine Jing knew that if the emperor was interested in this woman, she didn't know how many people were waiting to see the empress. It was a joke, so he said in a cold voice with some displeasure:
"Smiling and dancing gracefully, being a girl from the Qin Dynasty speaks like a string, as a song and dance girl, you are rare and outstanding, well, go down to receive the reward, the place above the hall is not the place for you people to stay for a long time. "

These words were clearly insinuating that her background was as low as a wine seller, and she also clearly pointed out her identity, warning her not to have any unreasonable thoughts, and it is best to keep her duty.

The woman's eyes turned slightly, she was not annoyed, she just glanced at the emperor with that captivating look, and then said respectfully: "Yes, the servant has retired, thank the emperor for the reward."

Qingchen turned his head to look at Xiao Jun, seeing his eyes following the leaving figure of the woman, his eyes became more and more unpredictable, and then a playful smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

After the banquet was over, Qingchen took Yixuan and Jinghan back to Kunyi Palace. On the way, Yixuan felt that the silver incense ball and jade pendant on his body were always colliding with each other, and the clinking sound was annoying, so he tore it off and handed it to him. Said to Jinghan: "Give this to you, it would look better hanging on your tent to make a pair."

Jinghan picked it up, and threw it on her little bed after returning home.

After taking a nap, Qingchen followed Jinghan to practice calligraphy on the table. If this girl is not accompanied by anyone, she won't have the patience and enthusiasm for 5 minutes.

But Jinghan seems to like this kind of feeling very much. Although she was forced to practice a few big characters, recite a few ancient poems, and learn a few new characters, but because her mother-in-law taught her, she secretly Very happy, sitting in Qingchen's arms, acting coquettishly attached to her in every possible way.

Qingchen naturally felt it too, touched her little head and smiled and said: "Jinghan is so good, you have to study hard to read and write, you can't be playful and accomplish nothing, and embarrass your father, you know?"

Jinghan nodded, "If my mother taught me, I would study hard. The stories my mother told were much more interesting than those told by the masters in the Mission Hall. I showed the story books written by my mother to the masters. I actually read it with great interest, saying that the mother's mother is really fantastic, and she can come up with so many interesting stories."

At this moment, Qingchen suddenly understood what unspeakable concealment is. With Jinghan's temperament, as long as she opened her mouth to tell how these stories came about, she would definitely ask non-stop, and it would be better not to say something.

Lovingly touching her daughter's cute little face, Qingchen hugged her and said tenderly: "So, Jinghan is the happiest little princess in the story of the empress, the empress only wishes you to be so happy forever, as long as she sees your smiling face , the queen mother is satisfied."

"After that, will the queen mother often accompany me to practice calligraphy and painting?" Jinghan looked at her expectantly.

"Of course, in the future when you are older and more sensible, the queen mother will make many beautiful little skirts for you and comb your hair in a beautiful bun. Whatever you want, the queen mother will give you." Spoiling your own child like this, She is also happy as a mother.

Jinghan tilted her head and thought for a while and asked, "Will the queen mother allow me to go hunting with my brothers?"

Knowing that this was her wish, Qing Chen nodded gently and said: "Yes, when you grow up, you can follow your father to go hunting in Xiyuan, and the queen mother will not stop you."

Jinghan's eyes sparkled, she put her arms around her neck, and kissed her on the face, "Mother, you are so kind."

At dusk, the emperor sent someone to send a message, saying that he was going to pay his respects to the ancestors, and by the way, he would accompany the empress dowager to have dinner, so that she didn't have to wait, so Qingchen arranged the meals early and used them with the two children supper.

Jinghan ate more fried quail and felt it was a little salty, so she ordered another bowl of sour bamboo shoot and chicken skin soup. The little girl was growing up, and her appetite seemed to be bigger than before.

After dinner, Qingchen was doing needlework under the lamp, and a few girls accompanied them to play a game of touching people in the room. There was constant laughter in the room, and the noisy chirping made people have headaches. Qingchen shook his head helplessly, but he didn't To stop it, as Yun Lan said, it is a good thing and a happy thing to have children in the palace.

Jinghan ran away, so she casually took off her outer clothes and threw them on the kang. Seeing that her clothes were dirty, Qingchen took off all the pouches, jade pendants and incense balls on her belt and put them aside, letting Yun Lan put them on the bed. The clothes are sent to be washed.

At three o'clock in the morning, Qingchen asked Jinxiu to take the two of them down to take a bath and rest, and the room finally became quiet.

When the emperor came down, it was almost midnight, and Qing Chen had already slept with her clothes on. Xiao Jun didn't disturb her, and came in to rest after washing in the outside room.

Qing Chen was in a light sleep, but was still woken up by him, Xiao Jun lay down, hugged her and smiled and asked: "You made such beautiful purses for Yixuan and Jinghan today, have you thought about making one for me too? "

Qingchen leaned over, and took out a delicate bright yellow purse with the pattern of nine dragons and clouds from under the pillow, and said softly: "How could I forget the emperor's, it's just that the concubine has no chance to give it to the emperor today."

The emperor took the purse, sniffed it on the tip of his nose and said, "It's a very elegant fragrance, I like it very much, since I have the intention to make it, why don't I ask someone to send it to me?"

"I was afraid that the emperor was busy, so I didn't dare to disturb anyone. I wanted to give it to the emperor after dinner, but who knew that the emperor went to the ancestor's place again, so I had to wait until now."

Thinking about the day's events, Qingchen asked with some concern: "Does the emperor think that the dancer in the hall today is a bit unusual?"

Xiao Jun hummed, put her hands behind her head, and said softly with cold eyes shining brightly: "I also feel that something is wrong. I always feel that the woman has a lot of background, and I have already asked someone to check her background."

Sure enough, he was more vigilant, so she was relieved, Qingchen asked with a smile: "If there is no problem with such an overpowering beauty, does the emperor really plan to let her sit in the Si Le room and wait for her beauty to grow old? The emperor has the heart ?"

Xiao Jun tilted her head to look at her, raised her eyebrows and asked, "Otherwise?"
