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

Chapter 1255: Concubine Li's Dark Trick (3)
Qinxue responded and brought the three little people down.

Because of traveling for a day, and just moved to the palace, the empress sympathized with everyone, so she ordered the concubines not to rush over to pay their respects in the first two days, but to take care of their own palace first, and stay here to rest for a day. .

Because Wanyue came to the palace for the first time, Yixuan and Jinghan naturally acted as guides. The palace garden is large, and the summer schoolwork is not so tight, these children often get together to play, Often it was dark and no one could be found.

Jinghan is even worse. She wears good clothes in the morning, and when she comes back in the evening, it is either scratched here or dirty there. There is never a time when she is neatly dressed. Slowly, even Wanyue brought the cave for diving. Ditch has been naughty a lot.

That day Mrs. Mu came to visit her daughter, so Qingchen casually talked with her under the gazebo on the Jiuqu Bridge outside the palace, enjoying the scenery and tasting tea while talking about family life.

Mrs. Mu looks 37 or [-] years old this year, her cheeks are slightly plump, her nose bridge is high, and the corners of her mouth are slightly upturned. She always looks like a gentle and amiable smile.Under the thick emerald eyebrows, there is a pair of bright eyes, these eyes do not have the shrewd calculations of the headed mistresses of those wealthy families, although the years have faded her greenness and lost her youth, they have given her gentleness and calmness Her love made her look very easy to get along with, without the slightest bit of unruly look like an official wife.

Today she is wearing a lake green bluegrass thin silk shirt, covered with sky blue soft smoky gauze, the jewelry on her head is solemn but not cumbersome, neither rude nor kitsch, making her look fresh and pleasant, gentle and generous .

She was originally born as a young lady, and married into such a scholarly family. The husband and wife respect each other as guests, and they have no wives and concubines to compete for favor, and they have both children. She is a rare lucky person.Therefore, Mrs. Mu's demeanor looks graceful and tolerant, she treats people amiably, and behaves appropriately, without the old-fashioned hostility of a woman of this age.

Qingchen likes her sister-in-law very much, or in other words, she has seen a lot of sinister people in this deep palace. When she gets along with a simple-minded person like Mrs. Mu, she always feels that it is precious, and she also feels very relaxed and comfortable.

The table was filled with all kinds of snacks, the two chatted casually, Mrs. Mu smiled and said: "Madam, Wanyue is spoiled by me at home, if you are not sensible and cause trouble for your mother, please forgive me."

Qingchen shook his head indifferently, "Sister-in-law, what are you talking about? Wanyue is much more obedient than Jinghan. We are a family, and I see Wanyue as my own daughter. Don’t worry about the trouble coming.”

Mrs. Mu's eyes were filled with a gentle light, and she looked at the children fishing on the shore from a distance, and she gently pursed her lips and said, "The princess is smart and lively, her temperament is really cute, and she has a masculine air. Many are strong."

Qingchen took a sip of tea, and said helplessly, "I'm only worried that if the emperor spoils her, she will become a savage princess in the future, but she won't be able to marry."

Mrs. Mu hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, you are joking. In the future, when the princess chooses a son-in-law, he must be one in a million. Otherwise, how can the emperor be willing to marry the princess?"

The two sisters-in-law and sister-in-law were chatting, and saw a young father-in-law approaching from a distance with two court ladies on the bridge. Qingchen took a closer look and found that it was Gao Yong, the eunuch in charge of Concubine Li's palace, followed by two rough envoys. The maidservants in the palace each held a redwood square plate with several bunches of still green lychees on it, which were probably chilled before, but now they are covered with crystal water drops, which looks like they were freshly picked. as fresh.

Gao Yong was originally a waiter in the dead Gu Jieyu's palace, and he received a lot of favors from the queen, so he came up to salute with a very respectful attitude, and then bowed and said: "The empress, this is a tribute from outside. The first crate of lychees, I dare not slack off, I will send it to the Empress Empress first, so that she can taste it."

Qingchen curled his lips thoughtfully and said nothing, but his eyes clearly flashed a little displeasure. Concubine Li rushed to ask the people in her palace to send such a precious thing over at this time, and she was clearly beating her on purpose. The queen's face.The food in the palace, when will it be her turn as a concubine to reward the queen?
In front of Mrs. Mu, is this saying that the favor of her, the empress, is not as good as her favorite concubine who was born as a singer?What would Mrs. Mu think when she saw this?If she is a powerful person, she may feel that she is no longer worthy of being relied on as a queen.

When Gao Yong came over, Jinghan and the others also went back to the gazebo, Yixuan and Wanyue both lay on the table drinking iced mung bean water to cool off, only Jinghan stood aside, looking at Gao Yong with cold eyes.

The things were placed on the table, Qingchen couldn't care about anything at this time, but said lightly: "Go down and receive the reward."

How could Gao Yong dare to ask for a reward at this time, he hurriedly apologized and said with a smile: "It is the blessing of the slave to be able to serve the empress, the slave dare not ask for a reward, so I will retire."

How can he not know that this is not a good job, he took a step back and turned around in a panic, but accidentally bumped into Jinghan, Jinghan let out a "hey", full of anger, and whipped Gao Yong without hesitation. body.

"You dog slave, you don't have eyes when you walk, and you dare to step on this princess. I think you are going to heaven. Do you really think that your master has become so successful, and you will follow the villain to succeed?"

Gao Yong hurriedly knelt down and begged for mercy: "Princess, this servant deserves to die. The servant has no eyes and accidentally bumped into the princess. I beg her to forgive me."

Jinghan kicked him angrily again and asked: "Since it is the first crate of lychees brought in as tribute from outside, shouldn't it be sent to the emperor first? Even if the emperor doesn't want it, it should be sent to Qifeng Palace. Why not?" Send it directly to Concubine Li, do you still pay attention to the queen and the prince?

If you are really a sensible person, then you should send it over intact. Where is it your turn, you slaves, to share this piece of shit from Concubine Li to us. This princess is not fond of eating other people's cheap food. Take it away. , Let your master enjoy this grace, we can't bear it!snort! "

Gao Yong naturally knew Concubine Li's intentions, she just wanted to humiliate the queen in front of Madam Mu, but who would dare to say that?I could only beg with a bitter face:

"Empress, Your Highnesses, this first crate of lychees was sent to Empress Li, it was the emperor's intention. After the people from the House of Internal Affairs delivered it, Empress Li asked the slave to send some to Empress Li, and the slave only It's just running errands..."

Qingchen naturally knew in his heart, if the emperor hadn't spoken, even if he lent ten guts to the House of Internal Affairs, they would not have dared to bypass him and sent the things to Concubine Li's Palace first.
