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

73 Chapter 3 I'll be a fool ([-])
Xiao Jun was obviously very happy at the moment, but her face was still calm, and she put on a fair and selfless look and said: "As a rule, women who are born as slaves cannot leapfrog the promotion, but since it is the grace of the ancestors, it is also possible It's all right, I just listen to my ancestors." Then he said to Qingchen: "My ancestors are happy, Wan Chongrong hurry up and thank you."

This was really an unexpected joy, Yun Lan and Jin Xin couldn't be happier, Qingchen knew that his goal had been achieved, so he hurriedly and respectfully kowtowed, "Concubine, thank the ancestor and the emperor for their kindness."

The Empress Dowager nodded with a smile, "Get flat."

At this time, a servant came over with a pen and ink, and the emperor said to Qingchen: "Come here and grind."

Qingchen was busy responding, walked over to pick up the pine smoke ink that was placed on the nanmu table trimmed with gold thread, moistened it with water, and carefully ground it, the emperor asked in a low voice while writing the inscription: "What about the Jade Buddha?" ?”

Qingchen knew that he would ask this question sooner or later, so he said honestly: "On the way here, I was bumped into by a little eunuch and smashed to pieces. The concubine had no choice but to send this painting as a token of her affection."

Xiao Jun didn't speak any more, and finished writing the poem after a while. Seeing what the queen and concubine Shu were muttering about, she asked with a smile, "What are the queen and concubine Shu talking about? Are you so happy?"

Today the Empress wears a bright yellow court gown woven with golden phoenix patterns, a purple gold flying phoenix crown on her head, three oriental beads adorned on the body of the phoenix, seventeen pearls, and one large oriental bead in her mouth.A cat's eye stone is placed on the edge of the phoenix crown, decorated with six east beads and six pearls, and decorated with coral.The empress is graceful and luxurious, and everyone knows that there is a huge family behind this lofty phoenix chair.

The queen straightened her sleeves, brushed off the fallen flowers on her body, and said with a smile: "If you go back to the emperor, the concubine saw a famous red-haired dog in the imperial garden two days ago. I just said it and realized that it was raised by sister Concubine Shu." , such a rare pet must be very rare, I heard that some pets with precious bloodlines often cost tens of thousands of taels of silver, Shen Guogong's family has a big business and strong financial resources, so he probably doesn't care about such a small amount of money."

The emperor didn't seem to hear the empress' implication. It's no secret that nobles are extravagant. The Shen family is like this, so why not the Lin family?Then he smiled lightly and said: "In terms of family strength, how can the Shen family compare to the Lin family? If the queen also wants to keep one for fun, it's not too difficult, just send someone to buy it."

The emperor's relatives are extravagant and desperate, but the treasury has been in short supply, and corrupt officials and officials have filled their private pockets. The emperor has long been dissatisfied with this, but he still tries his best to protect the concubine Shu, and all the concubines secretly look sideways angrily.

The queen's face was slightly disappointed, and the emotion disappeared as quickly as a fleeting shadow, and she still maintained a decent smile.She is a queen, she must be gracious at all times, and she must not allow anyone to see what is in her heart.

Seeing the emperor's words of defense, Concubine Shu glanced at the queen mockingly, and said with a smug smile: "Don't mention this dog, just thinking about it will make you angry. It's just that the servant was cheated and spent dozens of taels of silver to buy it. It came to please my sister-in-law, and my sister-in-law gave it to my concubine after seeing it well, but who would have thought that a puppy with such a beautiful fur color, took a few baths in the water, only to find that it was an ordinary white-haired dog that had been dyed. It’s just for fun. It’s okay to be cheated, the terrible thing is that rumors hurt people, and things bought for tens of taels of silver are spread to other people’s mouths.
