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

Chapter 196
She bowed her head and said softly: "Queen Mother, although the concubine doesn't know why Madam Rong angered the Queen Mother, I still ask the Queen Mother to calm down and don't get angry. Today is a good day for the Queen Mother, so I won't talk about it after today. Chi. Mother Rong has served the Empress Dowager for many years, and finally she has made some contributions, and begged the Empress Dowager to spare her life for the sake of past love."

The queen mother sighed deeply, and said with emotion: "She has trapped you in injustice, but you are still willing to intercede for her. Take it to heart, it's not a big deal, go back and sit down first."

Qingchen hurriedly kowtowed, "Thank you Queen Mother for your forgiveness, my concubine is very grateful."

Now that Nanny Rong has been sent off, the emperor smiled indifferently: "If such a slave stays with the Queen Mother, it will only bring the Queen Mother's reputation in vain, and only add to the anger of the Queen Mother. There is no shortage of proper people in the palace. Let the House of Internal Affairs come again Just pick someone who is mature and prudent to serve you."

The Empress Dowager was angry, and said with a sneer: "What the emperor said is that the Ai family has no way to teach, and there is really no reason to keep her. It's just that people are not grass, and the emperor himself is a long-term person. Even if there is someone who wants to keep her People who are good, but also know how to leave room for everything, otherwise it will be counterproductive.”

There were reproaches and threats in these words, but the emperor didn't seem to understand the deep meaning in the Queen Mother's words, he picked up a piece of rose cake in front of him indifferently, put it in his mouth, tasted it, nodded slightly and said: "I thought that in this life I will never want to eat this dessert again, but I never thought that the rose cake made by Zhen Wanyi is as good as the one in the past, which suits my taste very much. I always don’t like other people’s messing around with the things I like. Especially those slaves who don't know what to do!"

Taking advantage of the gap between the empress dowager and the emperor to cause trouble is already a capital crime, not to mention trying to frame the emperor's concubines, any of which is a crime that cannot be punished. Mother Rong is an old man in the palace, and she is well versed in the way of survival in the palace. Once someone secretly tricks her, it will be a big deal, and the emperor will definitely not keep her.

The Empress Dowager hooked the corners of her mouth shyly, and said in a sad tone: "The emperor's wings are hard now, and Aijia is useless when he is old. Zhen Wanyi makes good cakes. If the emperor likes the cakes, it will be her blessing."

The emperor wiped his hands with a handkerchief, took a sip of tea, and finally his face was no longer as gloomy as it was just now, which was shocking, "I don't dare to be unfilial, and the queen mother doesn't have to worry about a slave who made a mistake. The minister will let the Ministry of Internal Affairs select suitable people to serve the Empress Dowager as soon as possible."

Seeing the emperor's pale face, the empress secretly breathed a sigh of relief. The empress dowager was obviously angry at the emperor's ruthlessness, but the emperor was undoubtedly telling the empress dowager in this way that the present is not what it used to be. Who is the person he likes? No one can move, including the Queen Mother!The queen secretly wiped the cold sweat from her forehead with a handkerchief, wondering why the mother and son are born so far?She frowned slightly, and felt uncomfortable because the emperor was so protective.

As soon as Qingchen sat back in his seat, Ye Guirong grabbed her arm. Qingchen saw that the broken hair on her sideburns was wet, her face was pale, and her palms were damp. She knew that she squeezed it for herself. Ba Khan held her hand tightly under the table, comforting her softly, "Sister, it's all right."

"Chen'er, do you know how dangerous you were just now?" Ye Guirong's voice was trembling, and he leaned over nervously and said in a low voice, "Do you know that this crystal rose cake was a big taboo between the emperor and the queen mother? When Wanyi was taken away, she was holding the rose cake ordered by the emperor to be made for her in her hand. It was her favorite dessert. Every time the emperor saw this rose cake, he was filled with resentment, and the queen mother did not want to see it. Pastry, that is the heart knot between their mother and son."
