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

Chapter 709
Nanny Gui bent down to help her, "Ma'am, get up, although you are in better health, the Empress Dowager also knows that your baby has suffered a lot, but she can't afford to keep kneeling like this, if at this time you Wouldn't the empress dowager be even more sad if the emperor's heir in her belly went wrong?"

Qingchen hurriedly stood up obediently, and said gratefully: "My concubine, thank the ancestor for his pity."

The Empress Dowager sighed heavily, wiped the corners of her eyes and said, "Sit down too, the ancestors are not so confused as to blame the royal family's enmity on you, a little girl. But it's not a good thing for the emperor to value you too much, if not Because of you, how could the emperor be in a tight siege? Xiao Jue would not have to act as the emperor's substitute. In ancient times, it was a lesson of blood that the emperor's favorite concubine misled the country, and what the emperor did on this point was indeed a little too disrespectful. "

Qingchen understood what the empress dowager meant, that the emperor might not be able to set foot in her Duanyang Palace in the future, and she couldn't annoy the empress dowager and make her ancestors dissatisfied, so she might not be able to stay in this harem any longer.

Qingchen said helplessly: "Don't worry, the empress dowager, the concubine is pregnant and cannot sleep, and will definitely persuade the emperor to enjoy the rain and dew. The concubine never thought of monopolizing the emperor's favor. In the past, the emperor loved him wrongly, and the concubine dared not touch her." The emperor's kindness, in the future, I must learn from the virtuous concubine Que chariot (Note 1), and I will never dare to burden the emperor's wisdom because of my courtiers and concubines."

The Empress Dowager saw that her attitude was submissive and she was always a sensible person. She was a little dissatisfied with her at first, but most of her anger disappeared and she said: "The Empress Dowager has already decided on the autumn beauty election, what do you think?"

Even though he was reluctant in his heart, Qingchen also knew that, as an emperor, Xiao Jun's harem was indeed dilapidated, let alone this time a year ago. The hall was still very lively, but now most of the chairs have been withdrawn, and if there are two people who are unwell, the whole hall will be empty.

Both the ancestor and the queen mother are for the sake of their children, what can she say?The royal draft is a big event, how can she have the qualifications to comment?

Qingchen lowered his head and said: "The concubine thinks it's very good, and it's time to add some newcomers to the harem."

Seeing that she had no objection, the Empress Dowager said again: "Now that there are more concubines who are pregnant, there will be fewer people who can serve the emperor's wishes. It is not a solution for him to always guard you. Since you If he wants to learn how to be a virtuous concubine, then he should persuade him to summon more concubines who don't usually see the emperor at this time, so that the harem will have less resentment, and the concubines can get along more harmoniously. You don’t need to talk about the truth of the truth.”

Qingchen hurriedly said: "Yes, the concubine understands, and also understands the painstaking efforts of the old ancestor."

While talking, a little girl from outside came in and said: "Old ancestor, the emperor is here."

The Empress Dowager's face darkened, obviously a little displeased, "He came quickly."

Xiao Jun came in in a gust of wind, walking in a hurry, apparently in a hurry, bowed to pay respects to the Empress Dowager, glanced at her out of the corner of her eye and said, "Grandson pays respects to the ancestor."

The Empress Dowager asked in a cold voice: "Don't play with me like this. Didn't you come here this morning? What is the emperor doing here again?"

Xiao Jun's breath was a little rough because of her haste to walk, now she said with a relieved smile: "The grandson is going to visit the queen mother, the queen mother is not feeling well, she can't come to pay her respects to the old ancestor, so she specially asked her grandson to walk this journey for the queen mother. trip."

Because the two were talking, Qingchen couldn't get in the mouth, so he silently blessed the emperor, and the emperor gestured for her to excuse her while speaking.

The Empress Dowager snorted softly, and said mercilessly: "Why did you go through this for your mother? You are afraid that Concubine Chen will be wronged by me, so you rushed here in a hurry, right?"

The emperor took the tea from Nanny Gui, smiled flatteringly and said, "Grandmother has always loved her, how could she be wronged? The grandson really came here for the Queen Mother's order, and the old ancestor would never wrong me like this." Then Then he turned his head and said to Nanny Gui: "If you talk about the skill of making tea, Nanny Gui is the No. It's getting better."

Nanny Gui watched the emperor grow up. Although she was a servant of the Empress Dowager, she was closer to Xiao Jun than the Empress Dowager. Nanny Gui also knew that the Emperor respected her, so she spoke casually: "When did the emperor learn to be so sweet, the mother can't afford to say that."

The Empress Dowager said unhappily: "Don't mess with me here. The ancestor asked you, how long has it been since you went to He Shuyi's place? What about Wanrong, what about Xiao Jieyu, Hao Wanyi and the others, why are you unwilling to invite them?"

Xiao Jun said awkwardly: "This is all grandson's fault, and has nothing to do with Concubine Chen. Grandson has been busy with state affairs recently, and sometimes he was very tired, so he rested in the Duanyang Palace nearby. The old ancestors also knew that Concubine Chen's temperament is Anshun, and Sun Concubine My son just wanted to be quiet so that he could have a good night's rest, so that he would have the energy to deal with state affairs during the day, so I really shouldn't blame others for neglecting the concubines in the harem."

The empress dowager put down the teacup in her hand heavily, and asked again: "Then you don't draft because you are busy with state affairs? Don't use the queen mother's body as an excuse. The draft is your business, and it is the queen mother's own decree. It's okay for the empress to take care of the matter, but why do you have to wait for the empress to recover?"

(Note 1: Ban Jieyu is the concubine of Emperor Han Cheng. Before Zhao Feiyan entered the palace, Emperor Han Cheng favored her the most. At that time, the emperor was touring the palace and often rode in a luxurious car with silk curtains and brocade mattresses. The cushions are dragged by two people in front, which is called "carriage". Jieyu's rejection.

She said: "Looking at the pictures left over from ancient times, the sages and sages all have famous officials by their side. The last rulers of Xia, Shang, and Zhou dynasties, Xia Jie, Shang Zhou, and King You of Zhou, had lucky concubines sitting there. In a situation where the country is ruined and the body is destroyed, if I go in and out with you, I will be very similar to them, wouldn't it be awe-inspiring?" , the last lord of the three dynasties had a concubine.) Emperor Cheng of Han thought her words were reasonable, so he had to temporarily give up the idea of ​​traveling with the chariot. , and said to those who were close to her: "In ancient times there was Fan Ji, but now there is Ban Jieyu." Encouragement and encouragement.

Que chariot, that is, push away, resign from the sedan chair, this word is used to describe a virtuous and reasonable woman, and Ban Jieyu has also become a representative of virtuous concubines in the harem. )
