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

Chapter 591
While arranging the skirt of the dress for her, Yun Lan said: "Tomorrow is the sixth day of the lunar new year. It is a good day, and it is the New Year's time. I am afraid that someone from the Mu family will come to the palace to congratulate. Empress is about to prepare the next gift."

Qingchen suddenly said: "If you don't tell me, I'll forget it. This is the first time Mrs. Mu and Mrs. Mu have come to the harem, right? You see that the gifts are prepared generously. Don't forget the two young masters of the Mu family." , I originally sent rewards to the mansion at the end of the year, but unfortunately I was still grounded at that time, and some things were inconvenient to do, so let’s reward together now.”

Yun Lan squatted down, carefully fastened the brocade belt around her waist, and responded softly, "What your mother said is, that's fine. I couldn't help myself before, and I think the old lady and the young lady can understand."

Silver-red Four Happiness Gold Silk Brocade Phoenix Dress, the seven skirts are embroidered with a golden phoenix soaring, the eyes of the phoenix are embellished with diamonds, 28 large and round pearls are dropped on the body of the phoenix, and dozens of gemstones of various colors are placed on the skirts. The edge of the border is a bustling peony flower pattern embroidered with silver thread.Sixteen pearls the size of a thumb are dotted on the white jade belt with a golden cloud pattern, and the edges of the wide sleeves are all kinds of complicated auspicious patterns embroidered with gold thread.This set of dress is worn on the body, which is luxurious and full of nobility and grace.

Jin Xin was dumbfounded as she watched from the side, and couldn't help sighing: "The dress worn by the empress to seal the concubine is already so gorgeous, if it were to become the queen, the servants would not dare to imagine what it would look like."

Qingchen glanced at her reproachfully, and Jinxiu immediately realized that she had said something wrong, and said with a sneer, "Your Majesty, this servant didn't mean it, I just sighed and said that I slipped my tongue, and this servant should be beaten." He hit himself hard on the face twice.

Yun Lan smiled and said: "Okay, you don't have to act like a baby here anymore, go and prepare the jewelry that the empress will wear tomorrow, now that the empress is a serious concubine, she can't be as plain as usual, the concubine should With the regulations of the concubine, no matter what the empress thinks in her heart, she still has to have the style she should have, after all, her status is very different."

The room was full of brilliance reflected by this outfit, and the faces of the maids who served were all beaming, Qingchen then ordered Yunlan to say: "Prepare the reward money for tomorrow too, the red envelope should be thicker, so that everyone can be happy. You followed me back and forth and suffered a lot of grievances, I can't give anything else, and now I can only give some rewards."

Yun Lan looked at the clothes carefully, fearing that there might be something wrong, she didn't take her eyes off her dress when she heard the words, but said in a gentle voice: "What did you say, the servants follow the master, they can be safe and peaceful, and they won't be frozen in winter. It is a blessing to be able to eat a safe and full meal, what else can you ask for?"

For the whole day, there was an endless stream of people from all the palaces to give congratulatory gifts. After coping with this day, Qingchen only felt exhausted. After dinner, he was about to take an early rest, but who knew that the emperor came again.

Seeing that she had changed into her pajamas, Xiao Jun smiled and asked, "Why do you want to rest so early? I originally wanted to tell you a few words. Tomorrow is a good day for you to become a concubine. All the ceremonial mothers in the palace will Did Mama tell you everything?"

Qingchen served him tea, and said with a slight smile: "I've made it clear, although the concubines are a little nervous, but with their advice, there will be no big mistakes, the emperor can rest assured."

Xiao Jun didn't pick up the tea in her hand, but just pulled her into his arms and asked, "Did you get angry with Liu An yesterday? I already punished him for you, are you unhappy because of this?"

Qingchen has long been accustomed to the way these eunuchs behave with the red-topped and white forces, and he is still a person in front of the imperial court, so he doesn't take it to heart, and asked with a gentle smile: "The emperor doesn't want to see his concubine, why punish others? The concubine listens." It is said that the emperor encountered an ambush in the Taimiao, and he was very worried, so he could go out to greet him with great difficulty. Baba had endured the cold for a long time at the door of the imperial study, but the emperor was so beautiful that he didn't want to see his concubine at all. Reasons to blame others?"

Xiao Jun said seriously: "It's not that I didn't see you, it's because Liu An didn't notify you, and it's also because I heard Jin Xin's noise that I knew you had been here. I didn't lie."

Qingchen pouted and said: "The emperor has no concubines in his heart. After such a big incident happened, the emperor is not even willing to send someone to report the concubine's safety. Doesn't he know that the concubine will be worried? It can be seen that there is no concubine in his heart." Concubines, or simply do not believe in concubines."

Xiao Jun was a little embarrassing, seeing what she said so bluntly, it was hard to find a reason to perfunctory, she held her hand and coughed lightly twice and said: "I think you are still under restraint, and it is useless to worry if you know it. No one told you, it's not entirely because the person who wants to harm me is your husband, nor is it because of mistrust, don't think too much about it."

"The concubine won't think too much, it's the emperor who thinks too much." Such a thing may not have much chance of winning. Qingchen thinks that Xiao Hong will not come forward in person, and even if the emperor wants to deal with him cruelly, can she? Can you stop it? She was a little annoyed by being so secretive.

Xiao Jun kissed her on the forehead lightly, and explained: "I didn't hide it from you because of Xiao Hong, but because I have full confidence in the Imperial Forest Army accompanying me. He can't hurt me, so I don't want to I let you know that worrying in vain is because I didn't think carefully and didn't consider your feelings, so this time it's my fault, right?"

Even if he had some thoughts in his heart, Qingchen didn't dare to argue with him any more when he said so, so he took the ginger tea on the table and said, "Your Majesty, drink some hot tea to warm yourself up, why bother with such a heavy snowstorm outside?" Do you have to come over tonight?"

Xiao Jun didn't let go of the hand holding her, but took a sip of her hand and said, "I miss you so much, I haven't seen you for so long, do you miss me?"

He originally wanted to come over to see her last night, but Concubine Li was persistent and refused to leave, so he couldn't get away.Today, someone came from the queen mother to pass on a message, saying that the queen mother has been thinking about him, so that he can go over and sit down, so he went to the queen mother's palace and talked with him for a long time, and then went to the ancestor's palace to pay his respects. I was free to come over after having dinner with me.

Qingchen curled his lips again, with a look of disbelief, "The emperor has concubine Li to accompany him, so how could he think of his concubine? If he didn't think that his concubine would perform the Jin ceremony tomorrow, he would be afraid that his concubine would make a fool of himself. I won't think of my concubine."

Xiao Jun gritted her teeth, pinched her cheeks and said punishingly: "It is said that Rong Zhaoyi is gentle and submissive, but I don't think so at all. Your mouth is very powerful, and you are not forgiving at all. Look at me tonight. How to punish you."

The red incense tent was lightly cast down, and after several clouds and rain, Xiao Jun leaned over and stroked her beautiful eyebrows, which were as pale as distant mountains, and asked affectionately: "Chen'er, you are going to be a concubine tomorrow, are you happy?"
