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

Chapter 124
Zheyue hurriedly lowered her head and knelt on the ground, showing embarrassment and said in a low voice: "Your servant deserves to die. At that time, my servant just didn't want to make Concubine Shu too cheap, so I did something wrong in a moment of confusion, and I begged your empress to forgive me."

The queen snorted coldly and sat up slowly, Zheyue hurriedly poured tea from the small table beside her, and handed it up on her knees.The queen took a few sips of the teacup and said, "Get up, I know you are angry, so I won't punish you this time. If someone like Wan Chongrong can't be used by us, the more you Being smart is not a good thing. Fortunately, she was born as a servant girl. If she can give birth to a prince, she will be a concubine at most. After all, there is no backing that can't make a big deal. So although she is favored, I don't want to touch her for the time being. , let her fight Concubine Shu, I will be happy to sit back and reap the benefits."

Zheyue hurriedly said: "Your Majesty Shengming, this time Concubine Shu provoked such a big incident, it was Wan Chongrong who benefited in the end. The servant guessed that the emperor might have to seal her up again."

"Do you need to say that?" The queen put the teacup heavily on the table, after a whole day of thrilling suffering, the queen looked quite tired, "Snipe and clam fight for the fisherman's benefit, she is for the sake of my palace. Rescuing the siege has solved a big problem for the emperor, can the emperor not reward her? The ancestors already liked her, and now they have to treat her differently."

Zheyue's face darkened slightly, and she said silently for a while, "It's still the empress who has the foresight, she is really not a thing in the pool."

The empress seemed to be lost in thought, only looking at the wisps of smoke floating out of the Boshan furnace. The concubine Shu hadn't solved it yet, and got up again to fill her capacity. I rarely come to Chengkun Palace, and when I come, I just sit for a while and then leave, and I rarely stay overnight.There is no direct son in the middle palace, even if she is the empress, this position is still not secure, I really don't know when will I be able to breathe a sigh of relief in such a day.

A little palace maid came in and bowed her head and replied in a low voice: "Empress, Your Majesty Qin, please see me."

The queen lazily said, "Let her in."

When Gu Manqin came in, the queen glanced at her lightly and asked, "Have you visited Wan Rongrong?"

Lady Qin hurriedly got down, "My concubine went to see the empress, my concubine and Ye Wanrong went to see Wan Chongrong, she was just a little frightened, nothing serious."

"Well, it's fine, just sit down." The queen stroked her sleeves, pointed to a plate of pastries on the small table and said, "That's the rose cake newly sent by the imperial kitchen, is it okay if you try it? "

Qin Guiren saw that the pastry on the table was crystal clear, and the rose petals inside were clearly visible, and it carried a strong floral fragrance, so he reached out and tasted a piece, feeling the sweet fragrance in his mouth, couldn't help laughing: "This is Made from freshly picked rose petals, right? It’s soft and sweet, and it’s a good snack in season.”

The queen said again seemingly unintentionally, "I heard that Wan Chongrong likes this dessert?"

Gu Manqin's complexion changed slightly, and she didn't know what the queen meant, so she could only reply hesitantly: "I heard that she is weak, the emperor allowed her to add a small kitchen, and now all the food is cooked by the small kitchen, she... Don't eat what others give you."

"Will she not eat what you gave me?" Although the queen's voice was soft, it carried a sense of oppression that could not be refused.

Gu Manqin's face turned pale in an instant, unable to guess the meaning of the queen's words, even a thick layer of cold sweat broke out on her forehead, "Concubine...concubine..."

"What I'm talking about is just cakes, why are you so nervous?" Seeing her troubled look, the queen snorted and changed the subject, "Since Wan has been favored, the emperor's rewards have been sent to Yinfengxuan every now and then. She has a lot more money under her hands, I heard that she often sends you some things, you used to take care of her, but now she is the one who rewards you, how does it feel?"
