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

Chapter 22
When Jin Xin heard this, she became angry, "Those bastards in the Ministry of Internal Affairs are really nothing, they always deduct the rights of those concubines who are not favored, and forget about everything else. There is no such thing as a charcoal fire nobleman this winter." How can you survive?"

Originally, there was some silver charcoal left in the small kitchen last winter, but not long ago Jinyun fell ill, and her room was cold, so she used all the charcoal fire.

Qingchen handed the tidied silk thread to Jinxiu, and didn't take Jinxin's complaints to heart at all, and smiled calmly: "My pillowcase is also old, I want to change it, your needlework is good, I will help you when you have time." How about I embroider one? It’s still a pattern of broken branches and apricot blossoms.”

Jin Xin came over and fiddled with those silk threads, looked at them and said: "These silk threads are not good, they need to be embroidered in pink and white to look good. Tomorrow, the servant will go to the House of Internal Affairs to get some, and by the way, I will also ask for some fabrics, so I can make a cover for the young master with brighter colors." It’s just that if the embroidery is good, Jin Yun’s hand embroidery is really good.”

Qingchen chuckled, "You can just wear the pajamas comfortably, but who do you want to show them so brightly? If you are asked to do some work, you can slack off and pass it on to others."

Just as he was talking, Jinxiu brought a Mrs. Tang in from the outside room, put it on the bed and covered it with a quilt, and then asked: "Your honor, have you washed up and rested earlier?"

Qingchen lazily got up, went to the outside and opened the door, and saw that a thick layer of snow had accumulated in the yard, and the snow was falling like fluff, and although the lanterns were lit in the corridor, nothing could be seen clearly within a few steps , only the sound of roaring wind remained.

Qingchen ordered: "It's too cold these days, tell Xiao Xiangzi that they don't need to keep watch at night."

Jinxiu was adding hot water to the washbasin, when she heard this, she turned her head and said, "Night watch is a rule in the palace. Although the young master loves them, you can't indulge them too much."

Qingchen closed the door, took the cotton handkerchief in Jinxiu's hand, wiped his face and said: "Rules are dead, but people are alive, so you have to be flexible. Otherwise, you will move out of my room from today on." Don’t let them suffer from the cold outside if they sleep on the heating kang, isn’t it the same?”

Jinxiu smiled as she waited on her to wash up: "I don't know how many lifetimes of blessings they have cultivated, to be with such a caring master like you."

It snowed heavily all night and it didn't stop. Although it was cloudy when I got up early in the morning, the windows were very brightly reflected by the snow.Qingchen had finished his breakfast and was doing nothing to learn how to tie a wreath from Jinxiu. Seeing Jinxin bumping in, her hair was a little loose, and there was a long strand trailing by her ear, crying in a panic He said: "Your honor is not good. Today, the servant girl and Xiao Xiangzi went to the House of Internal Affairs to ask for charcoal fire from our palace, but the father-in-law of the House of Internal Affairs insisted on refusing to give it. Unexpectedly, Xue Zisheng, the head of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, bumped into him, saying that he didn't know the rules, and let someone scold Xiao Xiangzi. I thought... I thought it would be fine to hit him a few times, but who knew that the gang of slaves were so cruel, and they were so cruel I broke Xiao Xiangzi's legs..."

Qingchen was startled, and stood up suddenly, the beads she was wearing in her arms were scattered all over the floor, she hurriedly walked out with a pale face, stepped on the glazed beads that had just slipped, and staggered. Lian almost fell down, but fortunately Jinxiu supported her with quick eyesight and hands.

She walked out and asked, "Where is Xiao Xiangzi?"

With tears in her eyes, Jin Xin said tremblingly, "Someone from the House of Internal Affairs brought him back. I'm afraid he will be here soon, and the slaves came back first."

Qingchen bit her lip, feeling angry and impatient, and hurriedly told Xiao Yinzi, "Quickly ask the doctor Gu, just say that someone on our side has been seriously injured, and ask him to come here quickly."

Xiao Yinzi agreed, but didn't bother to take an umbrella, so he plunged into the wind and snow.

Sure enough, not long after, two young eunuchs carried Xiao Xiangzi back on a spring stool. Qingchen saw that his back was covered in blood and one leg was limply drooping, so he hurriedly asked to carefully move him onto the kang.

Xiao Xiangzi's face was as white as paper, his lips were bitten, and his forehead was covered with dense cold sweat.Qingchen spun around in his room anxiously, looking out constantly, wondering why Yunfeng didn't come over?

Over there, Xiao Xiangzi breathed a sigh of relief. Seeing her expression, he gritted his teeth and said, "Don't be impatient, my lord. This slave...it's fine. My slave's bones are hard. I can't die with a cheap life..."

Qingchen knew that he was comforting himself, so he managed to calm himself down and said, "Human life is the same. How can there be no distinction between high and low? At least I don't think you are humble, nor do I think anyone is so noble. Life is the same to me. equality is precious."

Hearing what she said, Xiao Xiangzi didn't shed tears when he was beaten just now, but now he wiped the corner of his eyes and said, "If you have a noble man, Xiao Xiangzi is worth it even if he dies. The noble man never abuses the slaves. Following the noble man is the most important thing." We got lucky."

Qingchen walked outside the door and asked Xiao Yinzi to change Xiao Xiangzi's bloody clothes, and Yun Feng hurried over after a while.It was inconvenient for her to stand aside, so she stood outside the door and waited.It is so painful to set a bone, but Xiao Xiangzi just gritted his teeth and kept silent, even Yun Feng sighed that he was a tough bone.

Immediately tidying up, Yun Feng wiped the sweat from his forehead and said: "You are a sensible servant, I am afraid that you will be worried and insist on gritting your teeth and refusing to cry out."

Seeing Xiao Xiangzi passed out on the bed, Qingchen asked Yunfeng in a low voice, "How is his leg? Can it be cured?" She really had no confidence in the ancient medical level.

On the way here, Xiao Yinzi had already told Yun Feng all about Xiao Xiangzi's injuries, and he said with a smile, "Why don't you believe in my medical skills? If you are injured for a hundred days, you will be guaranteed after three months." Let him be alive and kicking like before."

Only then did Qingchen heave a sigh of relief, "Thank you for your hard work, why don't you come to my room and have a cup of tea?"

Yun Feng was also polite, and followed her into the room to sit for a while and said, "Do you have anything else to tell me? If not, I can't stay for a long time. There are still many things to do at the Tai Hospital. I will let you know later. Someone brought Xiao Xiangzi's decoction over."

Qingchen thought for a while and said, "I do have something to tell you. Since you are busy, let's talk about it when you are free."

As soon as Yunfeng left, Qingchen sat on the kang under the window and lost his mind. Jinxin saw that she was in a bad mood, so she came over to persuade her: "Don't worry too much, since Yunfeng said that Xiao Xiangzi will be fine, then It will definitely be cured, the nobleman has to believe that Yun Feng is the one."

Qing Chenxiu frowned, "It's not that I don't believe in Yun Feng, but I just feel that I have to make a plan as soon as possible. Xue Zisheng beat up Xiao Xiangzi, and Concubine Shu was relieved, right? I thought I couldn't escape this deep palace, I also resigned to my fate, but who knew that I would meet Yunfeng again. Now I know that if I don't leave, I will only embarrass and even endanger the people around me."

Jin Xin hurriedly came over and asked in a low voice: "Does the young master still want to leave the palace?"
