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

Chapter 633 It Was You (4)
He gave Concubine Li an unmatched favor and turned her into a target of public criticism. He seemed to be ignoring him, but in fact he was protecting her, letting her fade out of everyone's sight so that he could be preserved when she was alone.

Yes, betraying her is also a kind of protection. When there are rumors in the palace that she is Xie Wanyi, it is also the time when Concubine Li is favored the most. This is his way of protecting her. He keeps Concubine Li in front of her. , to divert the eyes of everyone's hatred for her.

The more the emperor dotes on Concubine Li, the more no one doubts her background.

Qingchen dismissed all the people, wanting to be quiet for a while, it turned out that those pasts that had made her feel sad countless times, he was just trying to protect her.Everything he did was for her, but she didn't know the truth and resented him. Now that I think about it, how ridiculous my disappointment was at the beginning!
At this moment, she was not only moved, but also ashamed. At the beginning, she had no heart for him. She perfunctory him, flattered him, and used him. Now that she thought about how sincere she was, how could he not feel it? The emperor has been tolerant of her, patiently waiting for her to fall in love with him again.

Because his appearance and figure were so similar to Xiao Hong's, she hadn't recognized him for so long. If she were Xiao Jun, she didn't know whether she should be disappointed or thankful for herself.Comparing his heart to his heart, maybe the emperor should be more chilling towards her, but he didn't. He has been silently trying his best to protect her and tolerate her, but instead of being considerate, she complained more than once about his ruthlessness.

Such affection, what can she give in return?Besides never asking each other to make him feel at ease, what else can she do for him?
Feeling guilty and uneasy, Qing Chen was glad that he finally knew the truth, instead of regretting when he was hurting each other so badly that he couldn't look back, "Your Majesty, Chen'er is sorry for you, from now on Chen'er will never doubt the Emperor's sincerity..."

Since he wanted to hide it from her, she should always pretend not to know.

When Xiao Jun came over in the evening, she saw that her eyes were a little red and swollen, as if she had cried, so she asked, "What's the matter, why are you unhappy?"

Looking at him now, Qingchen felt indescribably satisfied. It turned out that it was really him. She remembered all the scenes when she was a child. It was strange that he said that he hadn't carried her on his back for a long time in the imperial garden that day. Now he knows. Everything, and I do feel that many things have a long-lost feeling.

Qingchen put his arms around his waist, leaned into his arms and asked softly: "Your Majesty, shall we go to Xinglin to see Xinghua after dinner?"

Xiao Jun was slightly taken aback, but thought that meeting Xue Changzai had spoiled her interest that day, and now she wanted to go see it again, so she agreed, "Okay."

Then she asked: "May I lend the emperor's jade flute to my concubine? The concubine wanted to play a piece of music for the emperor. The concubine originally thought that she would never want to play that piece of music for anyone else except the husband, but Now I want to blow it to the emperor."

"Okay, just let Fuquan get it." Xiao Jun felt that Qingchen was a little abnormal today. Except when she was in Guzhong, she had never been so tired of him, and she rarely acted like a baby to him on weekdays. A little cautious, not as casual as today, reminding him of her unscrupulous appearance before.

The emperor smiled and asked: "Why are you hugging me so tightly? Are you afraid that I will go back on my word?"

"Then the emperor hugs my concubine too, just like a concubine hugs you." She raised her eyes and looked at him expectantly.

Xiao Jun took her arm and exerted a little force on her waist, and she was so strangled that she groaned, which made him laugh out loud, "I haven't exerted much force, you can't take it anymore, so You are by my side, so I can rest assured. A man in this world, if I hand you over to anyone, I am afraid that he will make you suffer and be wronged, so I will never let you leave me, you are my woman ,Always will be."

"The concubine will not leave the emperor, and the concubine is willing to stay by the emperor's side forever."

"now it's right."

Xiao Jun ordered Fu Quan to get the flute, and then ate with her after cleaning her hands. Seeing that there was one dish missing from the table today, she asked, "Don't you always like to make that spicy tofu for me? Why is it missing today?"

He served him a bowl of bird's nest porridge, and pursed his lips secretly: "The concubine knows that the emperor doesn't like spicy food, and will not serve that dish again in the future. Eunuch Fu told the concubine that the emperor actually likes concubines." I keep it all in my heart."

Xiao Jun asked while eating: "When did Fuquan tell you? I never pick where to eat."

"Fu Quan is an old man who serves the emperor. If he doesn't know about this, then he has served the emperor for so many years in vain." He was suspicious, so she pulled Fu Quan to lie for him.

Xiao Jun thought the same, the emperor should not have preferences, but Fuquan should still remember the taste he had when he was the prince, so he had no doubt that he only ate with his head down.

The moonlight is very good tonight, but the wind at night is still a bit cool, Xiao Jun didn't let anyone follow her, and only led her into the apricot blossom forest.

Two cloaks, one red and one yellow, were blown bulging by the wind. The two walked hand in hand through the forest filled with apricot blossoms. The scene looked very warm and beautiful.

This was the happiest time, but Xiao Jun seemed a little worried and asked: "Do you like the painting I gave you?"

Qingchen looked oblivious, and thanked him: "Of course I like it. I like whatever the emperor sends me. I know that the emperor's paintings are hard to come by. I wanted to hang it up and admire it, but I was afraid that it would hurt my heart if it gets dirty, so I carefully put it away, and when I want to see it, I take it out and have a look.”

So he was relieved, Xiao Jun smiled secretly, it was just a painting, but she regarded it as a treasure.Feeling an indescribable relief in his heart, he held her hand tightly and led her to the depths of the apricot forest.

Looking at the dense apricot blossoms, Xiao Jun chose a thicker apricot tree, jumped on it, chose a more comfortable branch and sat down, crossed her legs lazily and said: "Blow it, It seems that I haven't smelled the fragrance of this apricot blossom for a long time."

Qingchen thinks that his nature is really hard to change, so is it so fun to play on the apricot tree? It really is hard to change old habits.But she also knew that lying in the apricot blossoms and sniffing the fragrance that was close to her lips and teeth, the feeling was really wonderful.

She stood under the tree and smiled slightly. For countless nights before, she stood under the tree and looked up at him like this, watching him lazily leaning on the branch and playing the flute until dawn.She never thought that after so long and so many personnel changes, she could still relive this scene with him.

The fife blew softly, and when the first prelude came out, Xiao Jun's body, half lying on the branch, seemed to vibrate slightly. He played this piece countless times. She refused to be favored that year, and never Ken appeared in front of him, and whenever he missed her, he could only play this piece of music to relieve his lovesickness.
