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

Chapter 25
Qingchen asked Jinxin to give Gu Changzai a bright red double link, "This is for my sister. I heard that the emperor went to see my sister two days ago. I wish my sister can also keep the emperor's heart and become a couple with the emperor." , wishful and happy."

Gu Changzai took it in a hurry, held it in his hand and looked at it carefully, loving it.

"Thank you, sister Jiyan, I know you are good at doing this, and I have always wanted to ask you for one, but I heard that you hurt someone in the palace, and I was afraid that you would be impatient to make these things when you were in a bad mood, so I didn't have the nerve to ask you , who would have thought that my wish would come true today.”

Ye Ronghua also asked with concern: "But what happened to that little father-in-law in your palace? The people in the Ministry of Internal Affairs are really good. It's fine to despise your share, but the person who beat you is really deceiving people too much."

Qingchen said helplessly: "It's hard to live with a master like me, and someone broke his leg. At least the imperial doctor said it can be cured, otherwise a eunuch with a crippled leg will really ruin his future life." .”

Gu Chang shook Qingchen's hand to show comfort, "Since the imperial doctor said it can be cured, it's a blessing.

When Xiao Xiangzi was beaten, Concubine Shu must have told Xue Zisheng to retaliate deliberately.

The Ministry of Internal Affairs also withheld my share before, that is, the emperor came to sit with me for a while two days ago, and almost froze the emperor. Eunuch Fu became angry, and the Ministry of Internal Affairs hurriedly burned the charcoal on my side. sent over.

I wanted to send some to you, but Ye Ronghua said that she had already sent them to you, and I will send you some when the charcoal fire on your side runs out, and we must help each other through this winter. "

Qingchen hurriedly said: "Thank you sister, she always misses me, I really don't know how to repay the kindness of taking care of me."

She had been staying at home before, except for Gu Changzai, she had never interacted with people too much. She had been in the palace for so long, and she had never even seen many concubines conferred by the emperor.

Ye Ronghua is a woman who has read a lot of poetry and books, and is gentle and intelligent. From the first time Qingchen saw her, she felt an indescribable intimacy. Maybe it was her gentle temperament that gave her a sense of trust, so when interacting with her, she I don't have so many scruples in my heart.

Seeing Ye Ronghua looking at him with that strange look again, Qingchen asked with a smile: "What is sister looking at? But I think my sister is ugly, and I wonder how can I make my sister more beautiful?"

Ye Ronghua smiled peacefully, with a bit of banter, "Concubine Shu is as beautiful as a peach and plum, while you are as beautiful as a plum blossom, but my sister is even better inside.

Just don't be too lonely and self-admiring. You see, the emperor is willing to sit with Sister Gu when he sees her, let alone you? "

Qing Chen didn't know what to say, she smiled slightly and lowered her head to drink tea, Gu Chang saw her silent, looked at her and shook his head, "It is said that beauty is like jade, if it is jade, Chen'er is also a piece of cold jade."

Ye Ronghua's voice was as gentle as a warm wind blowing through Qingchen's heart, "Your nature is as cool as jade, as indifferent as water, I am talking about you. With your beauty and talent, even women would sigh when they saw you. If the emperor forgets you, At least I don't believe it."

Hearing what Ye Ronghua said, a trace of inexplicable emotion suddenly flashed in Gu Changzai's eyes.

She subconsciously looked at Qingchen, and saw her using the lid of the teacup to fiddle with the froth of the tea, drooping her eyes in silence for a long time before she smiled faintly.

"My sister said that I am like a plum blossom. Plum blossoms bloom in the cold winter months. I am destined not to be favored by Dongjun. When peaches and plums are competing for beauty, how can I see plum blossoms blooming?"

Ye Ronghua sighed softly, "When the time passes, you will drift away, and you will be ashamed to beg for mercy from Dongjun. Although the plum blossoms are strong, but you are in such a good age, are you really willing to be so unknown, lonely and withering in a place where no one is around?"

Qing Chen was very calm, without any trace of sadness on his face, with a smile on the corner of his mouth, as if he was talking about an extremely ordinary thing.

"Flowers flow by themselves, even if no one appreciates them, it doesn't necessarily mean that you have to let yourself down, at least I don't think so. If the person who appreciates flowers doesn't understand flowers, he will be insulting her instead."

The emperor is not her beloved, no matter how good a woman is, if no one knows her, she is just playing with her appearance. How can she commit herself to a king who only cares about her appearance?
She can't, she can't do it.

It is easy to disappoint others, but it is not so easy to disappoint yourself, especially for a woman like Mei Lan like her.

Gu Changzai listened quietly at the side, and suddenly said, "Ask the flowers all day without saying a word, for whom are they scattered and blooming for whom?

I don't know much about poetry, but occasionally I heard someone say that. After listening to Chen'er's words, I remembered this sentence for some reason.

Don't laugh at me, I just said it casually. "

Ye Ronghua's gentle voice was laced with a hint of sadness, "For whom do you want to open for? Who else can the women in this palace do for, whether they are beautiful or lonely, aren't they all for the emperor?"

Qingchen saw that there seemed to be a slight worry on her face, her green eyebrows were slightly drawn, and her eyes were getting darker. A pearl and exquisite eight-treasure hairpin on her temples was shining with warm brilliance under the candlelight, which made her eyes as clear as autumn water .

She changed the subject and asked with a smile: "My sister's hairpin is so beautiful, but is it a new reward from the emperor?"

Ye Ronghua stroked his hair on the temples, feeling a little shy, "The emperor loves me wrongly, and never forgets the teacher-student friendship with my father, that's how he treats me kindly, and I can only repay the emperor's kindness by serving him wholeheartedly."

Qingchen said with a smile: "Sister, why bother to be modest, my sister's talent and beauty, in this harem, is like a pearl in the dust, no matter what, it can't be buried. The emperor knows the pearl with his eyes, so naturally he will not disappoint my sister."

Just as he was talking, Jian Jingshu brought in Eunuch Zhang who was beside the emperor and said, "My lord, Eunuch Zhang is asking to see you."

Ye Ronghua was slightly surprised, and hurriedly asked: "It's so late, why is Eunuch Zhang here? But does the emperor have any orders?"

Eunuch Zhang took a step forward with a square flat box painted with red lacquer and golden phoenix and auspicious clouds in his hand, bowed and said with a smile on his face, "My lord, the emperor asked a servant to bring something to my lord. The things in this box are precious." , the emperor said that you will definitely like it when you see it."

Ye Ronghua and Qingchen looked at each other, both feeling a little curious, Ye Ronghua asked with a smile: "What good things are worthy of being delivered by eunuch in the middle of the night?"

Having said that, there is already an unconcealable look of joy on her face, there are many stunning beauties in the harem, as long as the emperor remembers them, it is the glory of being a concubine.

While speaking, Jing Shu had already taken the box over, the top-quality agarwood wooden box, it smelled so sweet when it got close.

Jingshu held the box with one hand and opened the lid with the other. The moment the lid was opened, everyone couldn't help but gasp in amazement. Even under the dim light, the things in the box were still dazzling and shining brightly.
