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

Chapter 625
The emperor did not give up, and wanted to ask for a favor for Concubine Li, but the Empress Dowager interrupted him sternly: "Concubine Li is a criminal minister, and the Xie family committed the unforgivable crime of killing the whole family. It is already a great grace to allow her to live. The emperor accepted her as a concubine in disregard of the legal system of the ancestors, which made the court officials criticize it. ? Well, even if the Ai family doesn't care about this, you go and ask your grandmother if she agrees!"

Hearing what the Queen Mother said, Concubine Li hurriedly came out and knelt down obediently: "The Queen Mother calms down, the concubine knows that she can live, it is already the empress dowager and the emperor's special kindness, the concubine dare not ask for anything else, as long as the concubine stays with the emperor, don't worry about it." If you are a concubine, even if you let the concubine be a rough servant, the concubine will be grateful. The emperor treats the concubine so kindly, and the concubine is already very satisfied, please stop worrying about the concubine."

Xiao Jun sighed in embarrassment, knowing that there was no room for change in this matter, she could only apologize and said with a smile: "Queen Mother, look at Concubine Li is so sensible, if I can add another grandson Chenghuan to your knee..."

"The Ai family now has two grandchildren. The first prince is smart and the second prince is well-behaved and sensible. The Ai family is very satisfied to see their cute little appearance. The emperor is still young, and there will be more princes in the future." Sang Guirong's child may be another prince, and Lin Guiyi is also a blessed child. The prosperity of the royal family's heirs is a blessing from the heavens. If the emperor wants to be a wise king, he must know how to choose, and he must not be stigmatized as a lustful and stupid king."

The empress dowager spoke very badly, she mentioned all the emperor's heirs in the harem, but she only ignored the concubine Li's birth. Concubine Li just knelt on the ground and listened to the empress dowager scolding the emperor. Hatred is like a raging fire, burning the internal organs with pain.Concubine Li gritted her silver teeth, and secretly clenched her fists to swear that she would never let the humiliation she suffered today go away.

The emperor also felt a little unsightly on his face, and said awkwardly: "What the queen mother said is that I have a sense of propriety."

The Empress Dowager's eyes fell on Qingchen again. After several times of scrutiny, she saw that she was sitting steadily and upright all the time, and she was somewhat graceful and dignified like a concubine. Just glanced at Concubine Li, and the Empress Dowager said thoughtfully: "Concubine Chen was quite favored by the emperor before, but she was able to reconcile with the Six Palaces. She is not as greedy as some people who don't know what is good or bad. The concubine made the officials angry and restless, do you think it is appropriate for the Ai family to do so?"

The treasonous minister appointed by the late emperor to allow the descendants to survive is already ignoring the law of the ancestors. Serving on the side of the emperor made Xiao Jun bear the reputation of being unfilial. The pressure, the memorial accusing the emperor is said to be full of two boxes.

Qingchen's heart twitched violently, thinking that the Queen Mother's question was too poisonous, if it was right, the emperor had obviously intended to confer the title of concubine Li just now, wouldn't this be stroking the emperor's scales?The queen mother dared to reject the emperor's wishes, but how dare she openly embarrass the emperor?
She is not afraid of offending Concubine Li, what she is afraid of is the displeasure of the emperor, besides, the Empress Dowager also said just now that she has always been favored when there is no Concubine Li. She was jealous of Concubine Li and took the opportunity to add insult to injury, no matter what others thought, but whether the emperor would think so, she had no idea.

But she didn't dare to say it was inappropriate, the emperor had already compromised, and she dared not disobey the empress dowager's wishes.

Whether it is appropriate or not, you have already acted according to the Queen Mother's will, so why ask her again?Qingchen thought that maybe the queen mother didn't deliberately make things difficult for herself, but she made her very difficult.

Qingchen was thinking about how to reply, while trying his best to stabilize his mind, looked at the queen mother and the emperor with a gentle smile: "Some things, the queen mother can trust the emperor to relax. The emperor is a benevolent king, even if it hurts Li a lot. The concubine is more, so she must have a sense of proportion in her heart. Besides, the concubine Li loves the emperor deeply and is very sensible. She will definitely sympathize with the emperor and not let the emperor be caught between herself and the courtiers. As for the courtiers' advice, it is also their way As for Lu Zhongjun’s duty, the emperor should also take their words as a lesson to restrain himself, always keep in mind the responsibility of the king, and be a holy lord respected by thousands of people.”

She didn't slander Concubine Li, not for the sake of peace in front of others, but more importantly, for the empress's face. After all, it was the empress who brought her into the palace. To say that Concubine Li is unbearable at this time is tantamount to embarrassing the empress.

Sure enough, the queen looked at her meaningfully. Even though she knew that she was always a considerate person, she never thought that her words were so impeccable that no one would be offended.

Just now Xiao Jun was still worried about how she would answer. After all, this is the empress dowager's palace, and the empress is also there. If she is not careful, she will definitely offend others. He doesn't want to involve her in this dispute.Originally, he was ready to help her smooth things over, so he didn't have to say anything more.The emperor didn't look at her, but there was an appreciative smile on the corner of his mouth, and he picked up the teacup to drink tea.

The queen also nodded and said: "Concubine Chen has always been the most general-minded, and has a gentle temper. Such a temperament is really pleasing, and it's no wonder the emperor loves her so much."

Qingchen hurriedly said: "The Empress has praised her absurdly, and I dare not be a concubine."

Mr. Liang saw that Concubine Li was still kneeling on the ground, but the Queen Mother didn't cry out. This situation was really embarrassing. He couldn't bear it and wanted to help her, so he smiled at the Queen Mother: "Although the Queen Mother loves to be clean when she is ill, sometimes I also feel that the Shouan Palace is too deserted. If dozens of princes come to kowtow to the queen mother to pay their respects during the new year, then the queen mother will not be soft with red envelopes? In a few years, there will be more princes, and the queen mother is afraid Even the treasures at the bottom of the box were taken out as rewards, but the queen mother should not be afraid. When the princes grow up and know how to be filial to the emperor's grandmother, there will be a few more small warehouses for the queen mother. There are so many treasures that there is no place to put them, and the concubine is willing to lend her small warehouse to the Queen Mother to store things."

Seeing Mr. Liang and his party, the emperor said that the Empress Dowager already had a smile on her face, and secretly gestured to Concubine Li to signal her to get up. Concubine Li understood, kowtowed again, and stood up and sat back in her seat with a sad expression.

The queen mother didn't care when she saw it, she just joked with the nobleman and said: "Put it in your place, I'm afraid Aijia will not come back, don't think that Aijia can't see what you're up to, this is just trying to confuse Aijia As for things, the Ai family will not be fooled."
