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

Chapter 574 Bloody Trap (1)
Back then, she was the maid serving tea in the late emperor's imperial study, so she naturally knew the best about the late emperor's decisions.

Even though she promised Xiao Jun not to ask her about her life experience, she still wanted to know what she knew. Xiao Hong said that the Empress Dowager had a family feud with her. In this way, is she really the Empress of the Xie family?
Thinking of Concubine Li's alluring appearance, Qingchen felt awkward. Fortunately, she had taken refuge in Mu's house, otherwise, wouldn't it be sisters who turned against each other?
"I heard Gu Yunfeng mention that Mr. Sun and Sister Ye from the Ministry of Industry seem to be old acquaintances. Could it be that the Sun family was also relegated due to the coup?"

Yun Lan nodded lightly, "Your Majesty also knows that the Emperor had a contest for a show girl at the beginning of his ascension to the throne, but He Shuyi was obviously a woman of the right age at that time, but he did not enter the palace to participate in the election. Does your Majesty know the reason?"

It was only then that Qingchen suddenly remembered that something was wrong in this matter. Mrs. Ye is a grand tutor, and there is a woman of the right age in her family, how could she not enter the palace to be selected, but Ye Hanyu was later elected to the palace by the queen mother together with Lin Wanyi and Xiao Jieyu In the middle, this is a bit strange.Quickly asked: "Is there any reason for this?"

Yun Lan sighed softly and said: "It's also a trick of good fortune. Master Sun is five years older than Shuyi, and when He Shuyi was still in her infancy, Mrs. Ye saw that the son of the Sun family was smart, so she made a baby marriage with the Sun family. It was a good marriage, but it was a pity that the Sun family was exiled and fell for many years. Later, Master Sun didn't want He Shuyi to suffer with him, so he had to withdraw the marriage with Mrs. Ye. Mrs. Ye had only one daughter. My dear, even if I am not a person who dislikes the poor and loves the rich, I am reluctant to suffer with Shuyi, so I agreed."

"That is to say, when the emperor was drafting, Sun Zhaoming hadn't mentioned the matter of retiring to the Ye family, because He Shuyi had a family, so he didn't participate in the election?"

"Your Majesty said so." Yun Lan said again: "Even though the Sun family is in decline, it is still a family of poems and books. Master Sun did not give up studying poems and books in exile, and later returned to the capital to worship Mrs. Ye. Under Fu's family, he was wearing a hat of treason, and he was never able to become an official. If the emperor hadn't made an exception this time, he might never be able to turn around. Life is such a blunder, but if he is a year or so late Retiring the engagement, with his character and knowledge, He Shuyi is also a good couple."

Qing Chen didn't quite agree with Yun Lan's statement, "Even if he doesn't withdraw the engagement, I know that Sister Ye likes the Emperor?"

Yun Lan smiled gently, and said with some emotion: "This is the difference between the empress and He Shuyi. The empress knows how to fight for herself, has her own ideas in everything, and never likes to be manipulated by others. But He Shuyi Yi is not the same, every lady pays attention to the orders of her parents and the words of the matchmaker, even if He Shuyi had the emperor in her heart at the beginning, as long as Grand Tutor Ye agrees to this marriage, she would not object to it."

Qingchen didn't know what to say for a while, Yun Lan was right, Ye Hanyu would not object, otherwise she would not give up the chance to enter the palace by draft.

"In this way, it's not a secret that Sister Ye and Mr. Sun had a marriage contract. Presumably the royal family knows about it."

Yun Lan nodded, took the small bamboo basket on the edge of the kang, and said while arranging the silk thread: "Of course I know, Ye and Sun's family are good friends for generations, and everyone in the capital knew about it at that time."

Just as he was talking, he saw Jin Xin holding a large branch of red plum blossoms in his left hand and a beautiful shrugging vase in his right hand, and said with a smile, "Look, your lady, this is the plum blossom that Xiao Yinzi went to Xihe Palace to fold for your lady, he said I remember that my mother likes the purple jade sandalwood plum tree in front of the window very much, and now that the plum blossoms are just in bloom, I broke one and secretly sent it in from the corner door to let my mother watch it to amuse myself."

There are guards guarding the front gate of Duanyang Palace, but there is no one guarding the corner gate behind the main hall. If there is any movement in the palace recently, all the news is sent by Xiao Yinzi from the corner gate.

Qingchen picked up the plum blossoms and felt the fragrance was tangy, with a hint of coldness. There were a few flowers scattered on the branches, and most of them were still budding. It can be seen for many days."

……

Boring for a long time, Sang Wanrong brought Xia Tong out of Leng Zhaoyi Palace, feeling more and more frustrated and lonely.Xiao Qi's childish voice, nibbling his chubby little hands, and giggling at her from time to time, just looking at her makes people's hearts melt.That cute little figure is always dangling in front of my eyes, and I can't get rid of it.

Xia Tong saw that Sang Wanrong was chatting and laughing inside just now, and she looked bored when she left the door, so she asked: "What's wrong, my lord, are you tired?"

Sang Wanrong supported Xia Tong's hand and paced unhurriedly. Anyway, she has nothing to do when she goes back. She doesn't know how to pass the long days. Is she destined to endure such loneliness and emptiness in the future? ?
"Xia Tong, look at Qi'er who is only a few months old and so cute. It would be nice if Ben Gong also had a child? Leng Zhaoyi's palace was also deserted before. Every time Ben Gong came to her place to sit, It feels no different from being in my own palace, but now that there is this child, it is different after all, I feel that her room is extraordinarily warm."

Xia Tong naturally also felt this obvious change in Leng Zhaoyi Palace, and said with a smile: "In the past, the decorations in Zhaoyi Empress Palace were all neat and tidy. Although it looks tidy, it always makes people feel deserted. Now Tim After seeing the First Prince, although the room is much more chaotic than before, maybe it's because there are more people waiting on it, but it always feels lively all of a sudden."

Sang Wanrong sighed: "It's not that it's getting lively, it's that her heart is warming up. She is holding the eldest prince in her arms, who might be the future prince. With him, Leng Zhaoyi will not have to worry about it in the days to come." Yes. The emperor values ​​Qi'er, and he will come to see her every now and then, as long as she takes good care of Qi'er, and the emperor cares about the eldest prince, he will definitely not treat her badly."

After a pause, Sang Wanrong said bitterly again: "If I also have a child, do you think our palace will be warmed up and not so deserted? Everyone revolves around him, even if the room is His toy clothes are thrown everywhere, and I will feel as happy and satisfied as Leng Zhaoyi."

Taking a deep breath, Sang Wanrong said with hatred: "Look at today's harem, under the favor of Concubine Li, no one dares to hide her edge. She is even more vicious than Concubine Shu back then. The only one who can compete with Concubine Shu... Her concubine Rong, who was evenly divided, was also grounded and became Rong Zhaoyi. Is it possible that this harem will be dominated by her concubine Li in the future? There was Concubine Rong in the past, and I can still see the emperor from time to time. Concubine Rong is not a stingy person Yes, as long as I don't go too far, she will just laugh it off. But look at Concubine Li, when the emperor was in her palace, the servants who stopped the concubine from seeing him were three-tiered and three-tiered. Given her favor, I would be mocked and ridiculed by her even if I looked at the emperor from a distance, as if the emperor belonged to her alone, thinking about it makes me angry."
