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

Chapter 729 The Empress’ Distress (1)
Qingchen and Ye Hanyu glanced at each other, neither of them said anything. In fact, what Concubine Li said was not unreasonable. It is better not to touch such things as suspicion.With the queen's method, there are a thousand ways to do this, and she will not choose the one that is most unfavorable to her.

Besides, even if you want to do this, how can you let your personal maid do it? How is that different from what the queen does?
Qingchen turned around and wanted to leave, Concubine Li called her and said: "Concubine Chen doesn't have any opinion on this matter?"

Qingchen said indifferently: "The empress is the lord of the harem. Even if I have any opinions, it is not my turn to speak. Besides, I was not at the scene when the incident happened, so I really have no right to say more. The concubine didn't stay to plead for the queen? This is the time when the queen needs you the most."

"How do you know that Bengong didn't ask for it?" Concubine Li straightened the handkerchief in her hand, without any nervousness, as if she didn't care about the Queen's life at all, "Bengong dares to bet with you that the emperor can't abolish the queen, at least for now. If she can't be destroyed, if that's the case, why should I be so anxious and begging?"

"Since you are so sure, why bother to ask Bengong's opinion again?" Qingchen didn't want to talk to Concubine Li any more. At this time, an inappropriate word would cause trouble. If the news reached the Queen's ears, she would be unable to eat and walk around.

Ye Hanyu saw that the two of them had reached the point where they didn't even want to talk, so she persuaded from the side: "It's cold in the morning, you both are pregnant, don't keep standing in this humid place, it's not good for your health, Let's go back and rest."

Concubine Li smiled and said: "Sister Ye, I have good tea that the emperor rewarded me. If you are free later, go to the Huxin Pavilion with your sister to drink tea. The lotus leaves in the lake are already growing well at this time. How about drinking tea while enjoying the scenery?"

Ye Hanyu was extremely contemptuous in her heart, the queen brought her into the palace, and now that she is in trouble, she doesn't want to repay, but she still wants to ask someone to drink tea and chat, it is truly ungrateful.Even the people she relies on can be treated so indifferently, let alone others?

Although she thought so in her heart, she didn't show it on her face, Ye Hanyu said softly, "I'm afraid I won't be free today, Yao Shuyi suffered from a bit of cold, and Xin Chongrong couldn't work while taking care of the child, so please ask me to go over and help Yoon Let’s make a few small clothes. The child grows fast, and it’s only been a few months, and the ones I made before can’t fit anymore.”

Concubine Li saw that she was unwilling to come, and she couldn't force her to do so, so she said: "Then I'll go back first, and I'll make an appointment with my sister another day."

Ye Hanyu nodded and said, "Go slowly, be careful that the floor is wet and slippery."

Seeing Concubine Li took Yinyu away, Ye Hanyu frowned and said angrily: "The empress has reached such a point, she still has the heart to ask me to drink tea, even I can't stand it anymore, if we are in trouble in the future, Doesn't she have to celebrate with singing and dancing?"

Qing Chen lightly stretched his lips, and gently persuaded: "Sister, why should you care about the disputes between them, villains gather to benefit each other, and originally they use each other, so where is there any respect and trust?"

Ye Hanyu sneered and said: "She is good at acting. Just now in Chengkun Palace, she begged the emperor to look into this matter, but was reprimanded by the emperor impatiently. She only took a few steps out of Chengkun Palace, and she changed her face so quickly. It’s really hard to comprehend this thought.”

Qingchen stretched out his hand to pick the dewy gardenia, but saw that the white and flawless petals were spotless, so pure and beautiful that one couldn't bear to touch them, so he withdrew his hand again, and said disapprovingly: "The queen is here Using her, but always guarding against her and suppressing her, do you think she can be reconciled with Concubine Li's temperament? It's just that she has suffered too much anger on weekdays, and has a heart of resentment towards the queen. Seeing the queen now In trouble, no matter what, I feel happy in my heart. Anyway, I still pretended to beg in front of the emperor, if it were someone else, I don't know how she would make trouble."

Ye Hanyu's eyes were cold, and there was still some annoyance on her face. The azalea flower she was holding in her hand had been crushed, and she didn't even notice it after getting her hand full of flower juice, "You mean, if this If it were us, maybe it would be too late for her to be happy. Wanyi, she only has hatred and scrambling for fame and fortune in her heart, and she has no human friendship at all. Thinking about it, it is extremely sad."

Qingchen hesitated to speak, even though Ye Hanyu was disappointed with Concubine Li, but for some reason, hearing her mention the word Wanyi, she always felt uncomfortable, so she said silently for a long time: "My sister treasured the childhood friendship with Ms. From the bottom of my heart, don't tarnish the beauty of the past because of the current concubine Li."

Ye Hanyu shook her head lightly, and sighed: "My Wanyi died in that fire a long time ago. Who is this person who escaped from death? Maybe I don't know him anymore."

Qingchen didn't say anything more, returned to Duanyang Palace not long after having breakfast, and heard that the emperor had issued an imperial decree to abolish the empress, Lord Lin and many ministers were waiting outside the imperial study to meet the emperor, and heard about the empress dowager again around noon Regardless of his illness, he personally took people to the imperial study.

Yun Lan saw that Qingchen was patiently tracing a picture of flowers and birds in Han Ting. The delicate brushes depicted a tranquil artistic conception. The magpie combed its smooth feathers leisurely.

The pattern of happy brows is more or less tacky, but this picture of hers uses light blue ink as the background color, and the light yellow moon as the background. The flowers and branches cover the center of the moon. The plum blossoms seem to be stained by the moonlight, and the tender yellow stamens add a bit of elegance. The magpie's feathers are colorful but not too colorful. The petals float lightly in the stream, drifting away with the gurgling water.The whole painting gives people a fresh and elegant feeling, and one can't help but feel peaceful when looking at it, and even Buddha can feel the tranquility and beauty of the night in this painting.

Yun Lan laughed at the side and said: "My lady's painting skills are not bad, this painting is extremely elegant, the servant girl is worrying about what kind of pattern to embroider on the lady's cloak, seeing this painting, I feel that this The flowers look pretty good, what do you think, Madam?"

Qingchen thought for a while and said: "That's fine, the color is light and not ostentatious, and your embroidery skills are so good, I will be reluctant to wear it after I embroider it."

The two were tasting paintings when Jin Xin brushed open the bead curtain and came in and said, "Your Majesty, the Emperor has issued a decree, saying that the Empress lost her morality and killed her concubines and heirs. The punishment after the abolition, but it is not appropriate to live in the Jiaofang Palace anymore, let the empress move to the Luohua Palace in the Bingquan Palace, and be confined for two months as a punishment. As for Xuewen, she will be executed directly."

This result didn't surprise her much. From the moment she heard that the queen mother had entered the imperial study, she knew that it was impossible to abolish the queen mother.Qin Wanrong is not yet qualified to be a queen mother, and the queen mother still does not want the power of the harem to fall into the hands of others.

　The weather has dropped suddenly recently, I hope you all keep warm and don't catch a cold~
