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

Chapter 53 Thank you for not being sensitive
The queen was not in a hurry to ask her something, her eyes were slightly downcast, she just stared at the potted flower in front of her in a trance.After being silent for a long time, he raised his hand and pointed, the gold-shelled ruby-encrusted armor on his ring finger flashed a dazzling light, "Do you think this pot of moon and moon is in full bloom?"

Qingchen's eyes fell on the pot of moon and moon red. Although it was winter, the greenhouse was well cultivated, and the branches were full of flowers blooming even in winter. The goose-yellow petals revealed deep and shallow red, which was extremely beautiful. Two strong colors look bright and charming.

Qingchen said with a smile: "The weather in the empress's palace is good, this flower can bloom so beautifully, this species is rare."

The queen didn't seem to care too much, looking at the branches full of flowers thoughtfully, "It's true that the flowers bloom luxuriantly, but when the flowers on the side branches bloom well, they will compete with the flowers on the main branch for nutrition. The flowers on the main branch will not be blooming for a long time. I don’t know the primary and secondary, and I don’t know the superiority and inferiority. It’s uncomfortable to look at. I want to prune it, but I don’t know where to start. I’m really distressed.”

Qingchen knowingly raised the corners of his mouth slightly, got up and approached the potted flower, lowered his eyes and smiled and said: "The concubine knows how to trim, but suffers from lack of tools, so I have to borrow the empress's scissors to use."

The queen's eyes lit up, the corners of her lips had a secretive smile, she nodded and said: "What's the problem, I'll just lend you." As she spoke, she pushed the golden scissors at hand.

Qingchen picked up the pair of scissors, and cut off the most beautiful flower on the side branch without hesitation, "The only one left on the main branch is the most beautiful flower, is the empress satisfied?"

The queen smiled and nodded, "Your Majesty Wan really knows what I'm thinking, and cut off this most alluring flower, it does look much more comfortable."

Qingchen picked up the flower that fell on the table and played with it, and said with a faint smile: "The concubine just moved her mind, and in the end it is the empress's scissors that need to be sharp. Now this flower is no longer moistened by rain and dew, so it blooms even better." Well, it won’t be bright for a few days.”

The queen took a sip of the tea on the table, put down the teacup and glanced at the pot of Yueyuehong, smiled slightly, and then said: "Although I know that you didn't protect Lin Wanyi that day because of her, but I also stood up for you. Lin Wanyi accepts your affection."

Qingchen turned around, walked back to his seat and sat down, respectfully said with a smile: "Your Majesty is serious, I dare not be a concubine."

The queen looked her up, her expression became more delicate, "Since you said you came to deliver medicine to me, why don't you tell me your prescription?"

Qingchen glanced at the little maids waiting in the room, and with a wave of the queen's hand, they retreated silently. Qingchen asked softly, "Xiao Lunzi must have a family, right?"

With such a random sentence, the queen didn't know what she meant, so she just nodded slightly, "I just heard that, too, it seems that he has an older brother and a mother who is over 60 years old."

Qing Chen seemed to say casually: "Since Xiao Lunzi decides to take the blame for someone else, maybe he will leave a family letter, why don't you..."

After listening to her words, the Queen's expression was excited, her eyes were sharp, she stood up suddenly, she gathered her concentration and looked at Qingchen again, "Ye Jieyu also knew in her heart that the person who killed her was Concubine Shu, so she tried her best to help Lin Wanyi speak. Bar?"

Qingchen said lightly: "I'm afraid she is not the only one who knows."

The queen sat back again, breathed a sigh of relief and said in a calm voice: "I really saw you right, come here."

Qingchen didn't know what the queen meant, but she still walked over obediently, Fu lowered her body, the queen took off the pink gemstone hairpin and put it on her head, looked at it from side to side and said: "It's so beautiful, I always think this color It's too delicate to wear, but now it looks like you're wearing it just right."

Qingchen raised his hand and wanted to take it off, and said in panic: "Concubines will not be rewarded for nothing, and dare not ask for a reward from the empress."

The queen held her hand and shook her head lightly, "You gave me such a good medicine, how can you say it's useless? Do you think my reward is too thin?"

Qingchen thought for a while and said: "This phoenix hairpin is too precious, I'm afraid the concubine is the one who fell in love with the wrong lady."

The queen looked into her eyes, and hooked the corners of her mouth meaningfully, "The reward is yours. As for whether to wear it or not, I don't force it, it's just a little bit of my heart."

Qing Chen hurriedly lowered his eyes and said submissively: "Being respectful is worse than obeying orders, my concubine thanks the empress for the reward."

Chengkun Palace is a place of right and wrong right now, she should not stay for a long time, she got up and left after sitting for a long time.

Once out of the boundary of Chengkun Palace, Qingchen quickly pulled out the phoenix hairpin and tucked it into her sleeve. Seeing her strange behavior, Jinxiu asked in puzzlement, "Why doesn't my lord wear it? Isn't this hairpin pretty?" Does it look good?"

Qingchen frowned and walked away until he was far away from Chengkun Palace, then said in a low voice: "The queen rewarded me with this hairpin, but it was just to test me, she wanted me to work for her in the future, but she was not sure if I would If you are willing, you will reward me with this hairpin. No one knows the queen’s phoenix hairpin. If I wear it, won’t it be the same as telling everyone that I have taken refuge in the queen? Concubine Ning will not see me as a thorn in the side?”

Jinxiu suddenly realized, "That's why the empress said she wouldn't force the young master to wear it or not?"

Qingchen's eyes darkened, and he whispered while wrapping Sipa in his hand: "The emperor doesn't like the queen, what would he think if he knew that I had taken refuge in the queen? The most important thing for us right now is to get the emperor's favor first."

Jinxiu nodded hastily, "What the young master said is very true, but this servant did not expect so much, and thought that the queen really wanted to thank the young master."

Qingchen carefully avoids the puddle of snow on the ground. It is cold and cannot be thawed even during the daytime. Wading in their muddy waters."

Jinxiu hurriedly responded, "What the young master said is true, this servant understands."

The next day Qingchen just finished breakfast, Ye Jieyu came over with Jing Shu, Qingchen hurriedly invited her to sit in the Nuan Pavilion, Ye Jieyu took off the cloak on her body and asked straight to the point: "I heard You went to the queen yesterday, what did she say?"

Qingchen took the tea in Jin Xin's hand and handed it to her, and said with a smile, "Since when did my sister become so impatient? You are anxious, isn't the queen more anxious than you? I heard that Lin Wanyi has been grounded for a few days. Bujin has already fallen ill, and the emperor forbids people to visit her, the empress can't comfort her, so she can only worry secretly, when I went to Chengkun Palace yesterday, the empress' complexion was not very good."

Ye Jieyu's eyes were black and blue, and she held the teacup and lowered her eyebrows and sighed, "To tell you the truth, I didn't close my eyes very much last night, and when I thought of Concubine Shu's proud appearance, my heart ached with hatred."

Qingchen shook his head and lightly annoyed, "Sister still didn't listen to my words, she was so angry, who will talk to me in the future?" He then ordered Jin Xin to say, "Go tell Xiao Yinzi, let him go out and stare at Dian Chengkun." If there is any movement in the palace, come back and report immediately.”
