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

Chapter 4 The Midnight Flute
Qingchen sat at the table staring at the candles in a daze. She neither wanted to be favored nor cared about the emperor's attitude towards her.

It's just that she has been in the palace for almost a year, but she has never been able to escape.

The previous two escapes reached the gate of the palace, and they were suddenly blocked by various emergencies.

It has been six years since she came to this inexplicable era. She is a person who passed through. She went to study late in the second year of junior high school. On the way home, she passed an alley. The street lights in that alley were broken. The lid was lifted and forgot to close, and she stepped into this era.

Her soul fell on a seriously ill ten-year-old child. The child was an orphan and was about to die of illness. Fortunately, he was rescued by the genius doctor Nangong Xie and lived in his Valley of Evil Doctors for five years.

When she woke up, she didn't know the name of this body, so that person named her Shen Nianyi.

Those five years were the happiest and carefree days in her life, not only because the valley was a paradise, but also because of the company of that person.He is the old doctor's apprentice, a few years older than her.

For so many years, she wanted to marry him wholeheartedly, but he finally abandoned her and married someone else.

When she left the valley with Jin Xin and Jin Xiu, this body had just reached the age of Ji.

Jin Xin and Jin Xiu were the girls he bought for her. At that time, she was dying of illness and couldn't take care of herself. After all, it was inconvenient to take care of her because of the difference between men and women. So he bought two little girls to take care of her. Like Jinxiu and herself, she is a lonely woman with no relatives.

After leaving the valley, they went all the way to the capital. The three of them wanted to make a fortune from scratch, but unfortunately, the money was stolen, and they had nowhere to go. Just in time for Xiao Wangfu to recruit slaves, the three of them entered the palace together as servants.

When Lord Xiao saw her that day, he seemed inexplicably shocked and asked, "What's your name?"

She replied softly: "The servant girl's name is Mu Qingchen."

Xiao Wangye was stunned, looked at her with complicated eyes for a long time without saying a word, and took her into the room that night.

She couldn't live or die, and he didn't make things difficult for her.

Within two months of being a concubine in the palace, Lord Xiao became the emperor of the world. She also changed from a concubine in the palace to a noble person in the palace, and he even gave her the title "Wan".

Every time Qingchen thinks of this word, Qingchen finds it extremely ironic, saying that the long-haired Wan Junxin, not only did she not win the emperor's heart, he even doesn't remember her.

The name Shen Nianyi, she discarded it as soon as she came out of the valley, no one in this world will remember her, it is as ironic as the word "wan".

Looking at the dancing candle, Qingchen was in a trance.

Seeing that she was in a daze at the table, Jin Xin thought that she must have recalled the past, knowing that she was unhappy, so she came over to persuade her: "My lord, it's getting late, why don't you go to bed early?"

The night was cold and cold, and the candles in her room were never extinguished at night, as if she wanted to borrow a little warmth from the small flame, but she felt insecure about the dark night in the deep palace.

Sleeping in a daze until midnight, she faintly heard a clear and pleasant flute sound, her heart trembled, she sat up and listened carefully, suddenly her whole body was shaken, she jumped out of bed in a panic, and she didn't even have time to wear her shoes Wear it and run out barefoot.

After leaving the Xihe Palace, she ran madly towards the direction of the flute sound. That song, that song does not belong to this era, it is a song that only she can sing and he can play. Why is it at this time? Will someone play in this deep palace?

Under the cold moonlight, only her figure was running in the long palace road late at night, and the scene looked indescribably weird.

It should be somewhere in the imperial garden. She was looking for the sound, and anxiously searched in the imperial garden, but when she found the flute sound, it suddenly disappeared. She searched for a long time, but finally failed to find the flute. flute man.

Qingchen was a little unwilling, still looking around, ran three times and ran twice to the vicinity of the Changchun Pavilion
She saw a figure in the pavilion, with a slender and well-proportioned figure, standing in the shadow of the moon with his back facing her, not knowing what he was doing.

Hearing the movement, he turned around, his eyes were like cold stars in the dark night, looking down at her coldly.

Qingchen gasped, and hurriedly knelt down, "Concubine sees the emperor."

Looking at the woman kneeling on the steps, Xiao Jun was slightly surprised, then the corners of her mouth twitched, and she suppressed the anger in her heart and asked in a cold voice: "Your Majesty Wan, do you know how far Xihe Palace is from here?

What time is it now, you are running around the palace with bare feet and disheveled clothes, what is the matter?How decent! "

Qingchen was concerned, and still looked around, not caring about answering the emperor's question, and begged stubbornly: "Concubine, may the emperor hear a flute just now? Is there anyone staying in the palace tonight?"

Xiao Jun was silent, just stared at her coldly, and said after a long time: "I didn't hear any flute sound, are you stupid? Who would dare to stay in the inner palace except me? You didn't care because you heard the flute sound. Can you describe it as running out?"

He is the emperor, Qingchen didn't dare to ask further, but she was unwilling, because she knew that sometimes, a rubbing of shoulders was a lifetime of misses.

But she was not favored, and she still had her own choice in her heart.

She knelt there restless, anxious and at a loss, Xiao Jun in the pavilion came down, pulled off her cloak, wrapped the shivering woman, then bent over to pick her up and walked back.

Qingchen's gaze was still lingering behind him, and he walked further and further away in his embrace, and finally gave up helplessly.

It was the first time she was hugged by the emperor, and she said in a nervous and soft voice: "Your Majesty, you can let the concubine down..."

Xiao Jun didn't speak, but Qingchen could feel his heavy breathing on his temples, it wasn't tiredness, but suppressed anger.

"You are now my concubine. If you continue to be so wild and unruly and disobey the palace rules, sooner or later you will cause a catastrophe and even lose your life! Do you know what the consequences will be if someone finds out tonight? ?”

The key was issued at the end of the time in the palace. If there is no urgent matter, you can't go out again. If she breaks the palace rules rashly like her, if the queen finds out, she will definitely be punished.

"The emperor's lesson is that if the concubine knows her mistake, she will never dare again." Qing Chen huddled in his arms and admitted her mistake obediently.

Xiao Jun snorted heavily, with a livid face and no further words.

Xiao Xiangzi, the eunuch who was on duty at night under the corridor of Yinfengxuan, didn't know that the emperor was coming, and was still sleeping soundly leaning against the door frame without realizing it. Seeing that, Xiao Jun kicked him over in a rage, and shouted coldly: "Go call the doctor!"

Xiao Xiangzi was kicked awake suddenly, and he was really startled. When he opened his eyes, he saw Fuquan beside the emperor waving his hand, "Hurry up, and wait for punishment when it's late?"

Only then did Xiao Xiangzi realize that it was the emperor who had arrived, so he lost all sleepiness and jumped out in a hurry.
