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

Chapter 30 It's Not Easy
Ye Ronghua didn't seem to be very clear about it, he just said: "As people get older, it is inevitable that the recovery from some diseases will be slower, maybe it is not a serious symptom.

The Empress Dowager is not doing well recently. In order to show her filial piety, the Empress first took a bath and changed clothes, and stayed in the Buddhist hall in the palace for seven days and seven nights, and then ordered the concubines below to eat vegetarian food and chant Buddhist scriptures in turn for three days. Pray for the Empress Dowager and the Empress Dowager. "

Qingchen nodded thoughtfully, she and Ye Ronghua didn't have to go to the queen to set rules, which saved a lot of trouble.

The empress dowager has always loved the emperor, and the emperor is closer to her old man than to the empress dowager.

When the emperor was young, the empress dowager took the emperor to her palace to raise her personally because she felt lonely under her knees, so the relationship between the emperor and her was even closer.

The empress dowager has lived through three dynasties and three generations. With the emperor's idle temperament before, she was able to manage the government in an orderly manner so quickly after she ascended the throne. It is absolutely inseparable from her old man's many years of teaching.

Xiao Jun didn't fight for his position before, but it doesn't mean that he doesn't have the ability to dominate the world.

Qingchen accidentally caught a glimpse of Ye Ronghua's brows with a slight worry, wondering why she was like this, and asked, "Is there anything unhappy about my sister?"

Ye Ronghua said with a little helplessness: "What else could it be? The thought of meeting Concubine Shu again tonight makes me feel uncomfortable.

The emperor just came to visit me every now and then, and she made things difficult for me.

First, I made things difficult when I greeted the queen at the beginning of my favor, and then I pretended to be filial in front of the queen mother, saying that I could write well, and asked me to copy ten volumes of scriptures to pray for the queen mother.

She also humiliated me in front of the emperor, saying that she heard that the plum blossom soup I made was delicious, and asked me to make it for her and the emperor.

I only went to the Imperial Study Room once and sent some snacks to the emperor, but somehow she found out about it and used it to humiliate me.If I meet her again tonight, I still don't know how to deal with me. "

Qingchen was silent for a moment after listening, and said in a low voice: "It turns out that sister's life is not easy these days."

Ye Ronghua smiled wryly and shook her head, "The emperor loves me, and she's red-eyed. Fortunately, we often meet each other from time to time, otherwise I don't know how much gossip will be caused."

Qingchen held Ye Ronghua's hand resting on the table, and comforted softly: "Sister, don't be afraid of her, isn't there an emperor? As long as my sister doesn't make big mistakes, no matter how jealous she is, she can't do anything to you."

Ye Ronghua sighed slightly, "I can only be cautious in my words and deeds, the best thing to do is be careful."

The two chatted for a while, and Ye Ronghua praised the plum tree in front of Qingchen's window for blooming well.

It was dark early in winter, and the sky darkened before he knew it. Qingchen asked Xiao Quanzi to take the palace lantern, and sent Ye Ronghua to Xinhua Hall before returning.

But at this time in Chengkun Palace, the queen was wearing a red nine-phoenix auspicious cloud suit. On her hair like a dark cloud, a phoenix hairpin spread its wings, and the pearls and jade swayed gently.

She was sitting lazily on the heated Kang, leaning on the vermilion hollow carved nanmu small table, holding a teacup in her hand, skimming off the tea foam in the cup carelessly.

Gu Chang was sitting on the rosewood embroidery pier in the ground, helping the queen embroider a peony picture, when the queen asked lazily, "What is Mrs. Wan doing recently? Why haven't you heard her mentioned?"

Gu Chang stopped the needlework in his hand, raised his head and smiled cautiously: "What can she do, winter is boring, and she is often ill and doesn't like to go out. Occasionally, she will sit with me and Ye Ronghua, She doesn't want to go to other places, for fear of causing trouble."

The queen frowned thoughtfully, and what she said was admiration from the bottom of her heart, but also a little bit of worry.

"Your Majesty Wan is really able to endure loneliness, just because of this forbearance, you are not as good as her.

Ever since the emperor ascended the throne, Concubine Shu has been suppressing her, and she herself refused to stand out, but she has survived until now.

However, Ben Gong knew that she was not a thing in the pool, and she would become a blockbuster if she didn't sing. If Concubine Shu plotted against her like this, sooner or later she would suffer. "

Gu Chang was slightly startled, his heart suddenly jumped a few times, and he asked in a trembling voice: "Your Majesty said that Concubine Shu plotted against her, could it be that Concubine Shu was the one who fell into the water..."

The queen seemed not in the mood to drink tea either, her face looked very lonely, she just played with the lid of the blue and white teacup with yellow background and blue border with peonies in her hand.

The gold armor with ruby ​​inlaid made a pleasant jingle when it was struck on the porcelain cup, as sweet as gold and jade colliding.

"After she fell into the water, did she suspect anyone? Did she ever think about avenging herself?"

Gu Chang shook his head, "I have visited her several times these days, but I have never heard her mention the incident of falling into the water. I have also tried to ask her if she knew who was secretly harming her, but she It's like you don't know anything."

The queen snorted coldly, "She is a smart person. Even if she knew, she would pretend not to know at this moment. When she is unable to take revenge, if she let her opponent know that she knew the truth, wouldn't it cause more trouble?"

Gu Changzai's hand holding the needle trembled slightly, and his face was a little panicked, "Concubine Shu...why would she do this to a harmless person?"

"Concubine Shu is just jealous and willful!"

The queen put the teacup in her hand on the table with a "snap" and said, "I heard that a few days ago, Concubine Shu found a picture of a beauty in the emperor's study room. It is said that the woman in the picture looks very similar to Wan nobleman.

Concubine Shu was so angry that she wanted to get rid of that thorn in her side, but she didn't even think about it, how could it be so easy for her to get rid of the person in the emperor's heart? "

Gu Changzai couldn't understand the Queen's words, but he was muttering in his heart, the nobleman Wan was hated by Concubine Shu, didn't you mention it?

Now even the paintings in the emperor's study room, maybe someone deliberately asked Concubine Shu to see them.

But she was just thinking about it in her heart, and then she asked puzzledly: "The emperor has never favored nobleman Wan since he ascended the throne, how could he have her in his heart?"

"You are really confused."

The queen's voice became a bit serious, "When I was in the palace, I saw the emperor wandering outside her small courtyard more than once, why do you think Lan Guiren and Xiao Guiren are so favored?
Do you really think that Yao Huaxuan has a good local atmosphere?joke!The emperor just wanted to get closer to her. "

Gu Changzai's expression became even worse. She never knew what the queen said, and she never thought that the emperor would value Qingchen so much.

She always thought that Qingchen came from a humble background, even inferior to her, at least she was still a domestic servant in the empress's mansion, serving the empress since she was a child, and had never suffered much, unlike Qingchen who was an orphan and lonely, that's why she agreed Take care of her everywhere.

But now I know that they are different after all.

She couldn't tell why they were different, but she felt that from now on, there was a world of difference between them.

Gu Chang felt very uncomfortable in her heart, she asked in a low voice: "Since the emperor likes her, why did he leave her aside?"
