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

Chapter 601 Conspiracy to seize offspring (2)
Hao Wanyi naturally understood what Concubine Li meant. She was speechless and suffocated for a moment. She took a glass of wine and drank it down. She gritted her teeth and cursed inwardly: "This bitch, what else is she capable of besides seductive men? He deserves to live in a brothel and be ravaged by thousands of people."

Xiao Jieyu also froze for a moment, and looked at Leng Zhaoyi unnaturally. Seeing that she didn't seem to hear, she felt less nervous than before, and said to Concubine Li, "I can't be born jealous. Forget it, if you have the ability, just keep your grace and live on, why do you want to snatch other people's children?"

Concubine Li wanted to raise Xin Chongrong's second prince under her knees, but the emperor did not agree at that time, now that Xiao Jieyu said so, she felt a little bit uneasy, but she had to let it go.

Xin Chongrong and Yao Shuyi didn't care at all when they heard what Concubine Li said. Yao Shuyi is a kind-hearted woman who knows that she is infertile and can understand that it was not easy for Xin Chongrong to conceive this child at the beginning, so she couldn't bear to let her go. Taking away her child in this way has already made an agreement with Xin Chongrong. When the second prince grows up, he can still call Xin Chongrong's mother.

Such generosity made Xin Chongrong very grateful. Thinking about Leng Zhaoyi taking care of the eldest prince, how many smiling faces Xiao Jieyu had to accompany the child in order to take a look at the child. Moreover, if the child grows up, if she can't make it to the fourth rank, The eldest prince can't recognize his biological mother, Xin Chongrong only thinks that he is actually luckier than those seemingly beautiful women.

Although it was not her own, Yao Shuyi's love for the second prince was no less than that of Xin Chongrong. Xin Chongrong saw that Yao Shuyi was considerate to the child and never stopped her from being good to the child, so she treated her with sincerity.The two put all their energies on taking care of the second prince, but they were less interested in competing for favor, and were full of joy in taking care of the children.

Xiao Jieyu sometimes envies Xin Chongrong's good fortune, thinking that she is a lady from a humble seventh-rank sesame official family, who is not even worthy of carrying shoes for herself, and was thrown into limbo by the emperor. How come she is living better than herself now But also comfortable.

The emperor loves children very much. Anyone who has an eldest prince will definitely lose the role of the second prince. Even Xin Chongrong's status in the palace has been improved a lot. How could those servants of the Ministry of Internal Affairs put her in the same place before? In his eyes, he is also serving carefully now, and he dare not neglect at all.

What's more, Xin Chongrong's current status is even higher than her own. Xiao Jieyu is a little unconvinced when she thinks about it. If it wasn't for the low status of Xin Chongrong's mother's family, the emperor named her as Chongrong just because he didn't want to embarrass the second prince in the future. It was really hard to swallow this breath.

The empress didn't notice what they were talking about at first, but now the empress saw the annoyed expressions on the faces of several people, she couldn't help asking: "Okay, what's the matter, what happened under the big festival made you unhappy? Li Concubine, if you continue to pour yourself and drink like this, you will get drunk."

Concubine Li smiled bitterly with tears in her eyes: "My empress, the concubine is not greedy for drinking, but just saw the red plum blossoms on the table, and suddenly remembered that the emperor said he liked the white plum blossom in the concubine's yard. Now the plum blossoms are blooming just right, but no one appreciates them. No matter how beautiful the flowers that no one appreciates, I am afraid that they will be lonely and wither in a few days, and they will be lonely when they bloom, and they will be lonely when they fail.

The queen naturally knew what she was upset about, but she just sighed deeply as if to blame, and did not offer any words of comfort. The emperor said calmly: "Plum blossoms are flowers with character, and they can endure loneliness and severe cold. , noble and self-restraint, even if you can’t be calm and indifferent like a gentleman’s flower, you should at least have a compassionate heart like a lotus flower, and you must understand flowers when you appreciate flowers. That is the real disappointment of it. To introspect on flowers, people need to have some insight.”

Even if the emperor's words are not so obvious, there are always people who can understand them. Plum blossoms are noble, not everyone is worthy of admiring her beauty. Looking at Hua introspectively, don't you feel uneasy about the shady things you have done? ?Even if you don't want everyone to be upright and upright like a gentleman, you must have the bottom line of being a human being and have a minimum of compassion.

The emperor blamed it in his heart, but he didn't want to embarrass Concubine Li in front of everyone, so he said it so tactfully, Qingchen could understand it, and the empress, Concubine Ning and Concubine Li could understand it even more.

Concubine Li said with tears: "What the emperor said is that every time the concubine sees the plum blossom in the yard, she feels that she is not worthy of appreciating the flower of a gentleman, but the concubine always thinks of the emperor when she sees it. The concubine has no virtue. You are not worthy to serve the emperor, maybe the empress should not have accepted the concubines into the palace at all. The concubines have no hope of drifting away, but at least they will not worry about who makes them suffer from lovesickness every day."

The queen saw that the emperor's expression was not good, and she was afraid that the family banquet would upset the emperor, so she hurriedly reprimanded her: "Concubine Li, you must be a little bit measured in your words, the emperor has not forgotten you for so many years, isn't it enough? How can it be proper to say such a thing .”

Xiao Jun also said indifferently: "When your elder brother was imprisoned, he once asked me to take good care of you. I have the same brotherhood with him, so naturally I will not break my word. Concubine Li, you know how I treat you. I am not merciless. You are not stupid, but you and I know some things. Today is the Lantern Festival, and you don’t need to cry like this. Let the past pass. broke my heart for you."

Concubine Li knew that the emperor was willing to forgive her, so she hurriedly wiped her tears with a handkerchief, and said pitifully, "Yes, my concubine thanked the emperor, I will definitely cultivate myself diligently in the future, and I don't ask for anything else, but I just hope that I won't be rejected by the emperor." , so that the concubine can accompany Shengjia for a long time."

Concubine Ning turned her head and saw that Qingchen was smiling coldly, but she looked extremely depressed, so she turned sideways and said softly: "Look at Concubine Li, she really knows how to act. This method and ability to invite favors is not enough. It's really beyond our reach. After tonight, she is probably still the emperor's favorite concubine, so you should work harder."

He almost died under Feng Guiren's knife, it's fine if the emperor doesn't let Concubine Li go, but he didn't expect that it would be fine if he ignored her for a few days.Qingchen felt extremely uncomfortable, and said lightly: "The emperor has her in his heart, and it is only a matter of time before she can regain favor. It does not depend on whether she will invite favor, but on whether the emperor will let her go. The invitation to favor is only for the emperor. Just one step down."

Concubine Ning smiled slightly, and said in a low voice: "Don't worry, you are already on an equal footing with her, so what are you afraid of? If this continues, I feel that she will be less favored. You heard it too, the emperor just now I made it very clear that I agreed to concubine Li's elder brother to take care of her, not because of the relationship between the two. This is also to make you understand that the emperor has unavoidable difficulties, so don't mind too much. She will try to deal with us in the future , must be jealous, you said that she is so trembling and harming people, how tormented is she?"
