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

Chapter 56 Jealousy
The emperor often came to see her recently, and saw that although she was more courteous and respectful than before, she was deliberate and out of character after all, but this was already very difficult for her, Xiao Jun naturally understood and did not expose it,

This day, Qingchen brought a lot of things to visit Gu Changzai again. Although Gu Changzai's illness had improved a lot, he had a cough and couldn't go out.Gu Chang congratulated her first, and Qingchen handed over an ebony gold-painted jewelry box in Jinxiu's hand, "The emperor rewarded me with two jade hairpins. I'm too lazy to wear these things. It’s so heavy that I’m not used to it, it’s a pity to leave it for nothing, why don’t I give it to my sister.”

Gu Chang was opening the box, and there were two pearl jade hairpins that were moist and emerald green all over. Gu Manqin liked it very much at first, but then she felt a little disappointed in her heart for some reason, but she didn't show it on her face, she just smiled and said, "You are willing to give away such a precious thing."

Qingchen pursed her lips and said with a smile: "No matter how precious it is, it's not as precious as our sisterhood. Who told me, 'We must support each other through this winter'." My sisters support each other all my life. Didn't my sisters never forget me about the good things they had before? Now they say that they are precious or not, and they treat me so petty, so I don't agree."

Gu Chang looked back at Hong Liao and Jinxiu, coughed twice and said in a hoarse voice: "Look, I just said that she has this car waiting for me, it's not your pettiness, it's me Is it okay to be petty?"

Both Jinxiu and Hongliu covered their mouths and heard Gu Changzai say, "It's just that only the empress and the empress dowagers of the two palaces can use this Dongzhu. We are not qualified to wear this kind of jewelry."

Qingchen took a sip of tea from the teacup, and said with a smile: "Sister, take a good look, it's not Dongzhu, it's Nanzhu. Nanzhu is big, round, and shiny. It's the top grade among pearls. Although it's not as noble as Dongzhu, it's still beautiful." Very popular with concubines in the palace."

Gu Changzai looked carefully again and said: "Isn't it? You can't even tell what kind of eyes I have. Since you intend to give me a gift, then I will accept it without hesitation."

Qingchen said angrily: "My sister shouldn't be polite to me. I have never been polite to my sister when she gave me things before."

Because of her words, Gu Changzai felt a lot more relieved, and handed the things to Polygonum Rhododendron for safekeeping.Qing Chen sat for a while, told her to take care of her illness, and then went out to Lan Ruoxuan.

Jinxiu asked in a low voice: "The things that Gu Chang gave to the young master on weekdays are also ordinary, why did the young master give her such a precious hairpin?"

Qingchen glanced at her, and said patiently: "To judge a person's affection for you, you can't just look at whether the thing itself is precious, but how much the person owns. Although there is a queen to take care of you, Gu Chang is very embarrassed in his hands." , The things she gave me before are also extremely precious to her. Like us, we couldn't even get the monthly payment before, so where can we get such things to give away?"

Jinxiu suddenly realized, nodded and said: "Your servant understands that when a person is in distress, a piece of silk is also a good thing, but if he is favored, jewelry and money are not hard to come by. In the final analysis, it is the young master and Gu Changzai sisters. Deep love is the only way to be willing to treat each other generously.”

Qingchen nodded with a smile, "It's good that you understand."

After she left here, Gu Changzai said to Hong Liao in great disappointment: "She is Ronghua now. Although she didn't go to bed, the emperor has been thinking about her all the time, and even rewarded the red silk incense tent. This jade bead What is the hairpin? Wan Ronghua's fortunes are changing now, and I'm afraid she will be promoted step by step in the future, after all, it is I who climbed up to her."

Seeing her lonely and sad expression, Hong Liao thought she was probably envious and feeling sorry for herself, so she could only softly comfort her: "My lord, don't be sad, Wan Ronghua is not a frivolous person, and she won't be hurt by the emperor. She will be separated from the young master."

Gu Chang was leaning weakly on the edge of the kang, the smile on the corner of his mouth looked a bit shy, he laughed at himself and said: "She is always so calm, no matter what situation she is in, she is not surprised, why can't I do this?" Normal heart? Am I jealous?"

Hong Liao took a crimson lotus-patterned soft pillow and put it behind her, pulled the wrinkled clothes for her, and persuaded in a low voice: "Wan Ronghua didn't pay attention to these things when she was in trouble, but now she is afraid. How many people in this world can not take money seriously? What she values ​​more is the friendship with the young master. If the young master has other ideas because of this, it will not let Wan Ronghua down. mind?"

Gu Changzai suddenly smiled and said: "Yeah, what's wrong with me? Isn't it beneficial to me if she is favored? It's always good to have more people to help me, but why do I always feel heavy in my heart? Do I have to let her be with me?" Is it better to stay alone in an empty room and die lonely? It’s because I’m too narrow-minded.”

Hong Liao hurriedly said: "It's not that the young master has a small heart, but the young master also loves the emperor. Seeing the emperor loves others, especially his close sisters, the young master feels sorry for himself and feels sad."

Gu Changzai was stupefied, and sighed softly, "You are the only one who understands what's on my mind."

When Qingchen arrived at Lan Ruoxuan, Ye Wanrong was taking pills. Seeing that she was looking very good, and she didn't look like she was sick, Qingchen asked, "What kind of medicine is this sister taking? But are you feeling unwell?"

Ye Hanyu rinsed her mouth, wiped her mouth with a handkerchief, and said, "It's not medicine, it's the Nuangong Pill that Sun Dexin from the Inner Hospital asked for. Since the emperor still favors me, I want to have a baby quickly. For my concubine, children are the greatest protection."

Qingchen casually picked up a pill and smelled it. She knew some medicinal materials, and she was relieved after the inspection, "It really is a good medicine for gynecology, so I wish my sister can conceive a dragonborn soon and give birth to a white and fat little prince." , when the time comes, I will be the baby's godmother."

Ye Hanyu ordered Zhihua to put away the medicine, and said with a smile, "Okay, it's all up to you, but what about you? You should have made a plan earlier."

Qingchen saw that the pot of narcissus on the kang table was blooming just right, but the leaves turned yellow in some places, so he picked up the scissors beside him and trimmed the dead leaves and said casually: "Although the emperor often visits me, he never asks me to give up. As for my bedtime service, I have enough energy to spare, and this child is not something I can give birth to if I want to."

Ye Hanyu asked puzzledly: "What does the emperor mean? Since he likes you, why doesn't he let you sleep?"

Qingchen guessed in his heart that it was probably because of Qin Zishuo, but it was hard to say this to Ye Hanyu, so he could only vaguely say: "The emperor's mind is always unpredictable, I only do what I have to do, and I can't force others."

Ye Hanyu lowered her eyes and thought for a while, then persuaded softly: "Chen'er, you have to be gentle with the emperor, so that he can feel your heart. What a proud man the emperor is, you treated him so coldly before, If he can't feel your sincerity, how can he want you? If you fight for favor, no matter how much he likes you, he will always feel uncomfortable. "
