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

Chapter 28
Jin Xin also put down her work and came to join in the fun, "If you can still let her down by putting it here, who is qualified to appreciate such a beautiful plum blossom?"

Qingchen saw that Jinxiu's face was exhausted, and her eyes were also black and blue. She knew that she must have had a hard time in the Punishment Department, so she said, "You don't need to come over to serve in a hurry these two days. Take two days of rest.

You are in that dark place, I should have visited you, but I was afraid that others would think that I valued you, maybe you would be murdered by someone, so I dared not go, and now you are finally back. "

Jin Xin also said: "The nobleman misses you every day, and even asked Xiao Yinzi to visit you several times secretly, saying that you are all right, so we can feel a little more at ease."

Jinxiu's face was touched, and her voice trembled a little: "I know that the young master treats me well. I heard that the young master pleaded with the emperor as soon as he woke up. The servant is incompetent, so it's not worth the young master to do this."

"I said it's not your fault, why do you still say that?" Qingchen smiled and said, "Thank you for your plum blossoms, I like them very much."

Jinxiu went back to her room to rest, Jinxin poured a cup of tea and came over and said in a low voice, "Just now when the servant came back from the outside, I heard the little palace lady talking behind her back, saying that Concubine Shu slapped Lin Wanyi for some reason, and Lin Wanyi went to the Queen's place She complained, but the queen didn't make the decision for her, so she could only comfort her and let it go."

Qingchen smiled knowingly: "Concubine Shu hit Lin Wanyi, and it was the queen's face. Last time the queen plotted against her, she couldn't do anything to the queen, but she couldn't swallow it, so she found fault with Lin Wanyi."

Jin Xin nodded, "I heard that the Empress Dowager reprimanded the Empress in Shou'an Palace, saying that she was not prudent enough. Although she said it behind her back, few people knew about it, but this palace is the most secretive Yes, it was finally passed on.”

Qingchen smiled lightly, fiddled with the plum blossom in the bottle, and said softly: "The Queen Mother must have known what the Queen did before, otherwise it would be impossible to reprimand her."

Jin Xin poured her tea for her, and asked extremely annoyed: "Is that the matter of the young master falling into the water?

The emperor ordered a thorough investigation of the harem. Although the two murderous eunuchs were found, they committed suicide without saying anything, and they didn't even know who the mastermind behind it was. "

Qingchen's expression sank in an instant, and he said coldly: "Actually, I know it well, before we leave the palace, I will definitely send her a big gift back.

Don't worry, I will get back Xiao Xiangzi's share.

By the way, there is something I have always wanted to ask, but I always got confused because of some things. When I fell into the water that night, who rescued me? "

Although her words were harsh but extremely light, Jin Xin didn't understand what she said in the first half of the sentence, so she said: "This servant knows that it was Prince Qi's son Xiao Jue who saved the nobleman.

At that time, Xiao Yinzi and I were planning to pick up the young master back to the palace, when we saw many people standing by the bank, even the emperor was there.

The prince's book boy said that someone fell into the water, and after a while, he saw the prince swimming up from the water holding the young master. At that time, everyone was terrified. Seeing that it was you, the emperor, he sent you back immediately. Then let Shizi go back and change clothes. "

Qingchen thought for a while and asked again: "At that time, why did the emperor and the son appear by the Taiye pool?"

Jin Xin smiled and said: "Isn't it just that you are a nobleman? The queen mother was a little uncomfortable that night. The prince and the emperor both went to pay their respects, and then left the Shouan Palace one after another. The prince saw with his own eyes that someone threw you into the palace. In the water, but it was night, and the two eunuchs covered their faces, so they couldn't see who it was."

Xiao Jue, Prince Qi's son, was in Beijing as a hostage. She had only heard about this man, but had never seen his true face.

This person seems to have just reached the weak crown. When the emperor was still a prince, the two had the same appearance and talent, so they were called 'Mr. Lianbi'.

Qingchen didn't expect that he was the one who saved her.

She thought she should take some time to thank him in person, but I heard that Xiao Jue seldom stayed in the palace during the day, and always liked to hang out with those literati outside the palace, reciting poems and admiring paintings. I just went back to the palace.

So if you want to see him, you have to ask someone to tell you in advance before you go to visit, so as not to be rushed by others.

On the day of Laba Festival, there is a palace banquet as usual.

Although it is not an important festival and the dinner party is relatively simple, the concubines in the palace will still try their best to dress up on this day, especially those concubines who do not see the emperor on weekdays, want to take advantage of this opportunity Gain the favor of the emperor.

Early in the morning, the Queen's Palace sent someone to spread the word, saying that since Mrs. Wan is unwell, she does not need to attend the banquet.

Jin Xin was a little annoyed at the time, "Our young master didn't complain about illness."

On the contrary, Jinxiu understood better, so she hurriedly gave her a hand and said, "Thank you, Empress, for your love. When the young master wakes up, this slave will tell you."

As soon as the little father-in-law left, Jin Xin murmured extremely dissatisfied, "The nobleman was ill before, so it's fine if we don't go to the palace banquet, but what's the matter with the queen?

Every time I send people to say this, Mingli seems to be very concerned about our nobleman, but isn't it clear that he doesn't want us to see the emperor's face? "

Jinxiu pulled her into the room, "Keep your voice down, the nobleman hasn't woken up yet, didn't the emperor often come to visit the nobleman a few days ago? If the emperor has our little master in his heart, no one can stop him, the queen is nothing but vain Just be a villain."

Jin Xin thought for a while and then smiled, "That's right, our master doesn't care anyway.

A few days ago, the emperor often came to see the young master, but it was cheaper for Concubine Shu, who waited for the emperor to pass by at the gate of his palace every night. Today we talked about looking at the moon, and tomorrow we talked about appreciating the snow. Our young master was ill, but she benefited the most.

I heard that a few days ago, she sulked and smashed a lot of things in her palace because of a collar, saying that Ye Ronghua robbed her of things.

What a joke, it was obviously rewarded by the emperor, why did you rob her? "

Jinxiu reckoned that Qingchen was about to wake up, so she began to prepare things for washing, "Stop saying a few words, if you have the time, why don't you embroider a curtain for the little master, I think that curtain should be changed too."

Jin Xin also came over to help, and said, "Then I'll send someone to the Ministry of Internal Affairs to order another gauze curtain, and make a new one for the young master."

Qingchen had actually heard what Jinxin and Jinxiu said a long time ago, but she really didn't care too much about it. The occasion was very restrained, and the concubines were the most aggressive. There were constant quarrels between you and me, so it's better not to To end up quiet.

Only concubines of the fifth rank or above in the harem are eligible to pay respects to the queen. Qingchen is happy and at ease with a low rank. She has been up very late since the beginning of winter, and always sleeps until she wakes up naturally.

Anyway, she is the only one living in this Xihe Palace now, she can do whatever she likes after closing the palace door, and no one bothers her.

In the afternoon Yunfeng came to ask for Ping'an's pulse, and saw that she was wearing a homely plain satin jacket, sitting on the warm kang drawing flowers, her hair was tied loosely as before in the valley, without any headgear, very casual.

On the small nanmu table, apricot blossoms were drawn one by one. He sighed slightly, and saw that there was a few lines of small characters on the other flower note next to him, so he took it out to have a look.

See what is written on it: "The dirty ditch stores turbid water, and there are fields of leaves on the water. I sighed and found out that it is Dongxi lotus. There is green sludge under it, and the fragrance will never be restored. There is red dust on the top, and the color is not fresh. The physical properties are the same. , and personnel affairs are also appropriate. Tuogen is not where he is, it is better to be abandoned. In the past, in the middle of the stream, the flowers and leaves are beautiful. This year, I have no land, and I am haggard and cold in the palace garden."
