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

Chapter 796 Concubine Chen returns to the palace (11)
Qingchen was obviously taken aback, not because he was surprised by who sent the assassin to kill her, but because he was surprised by his ancestor's attitude towards this matter.It seems that the queen mother's behavior has indeed touched the bottom line of the empress dowager, no one's patience has a limit, the bottom line of the ancestors is the safety of the emperor.

"The old ancestor's hands and eyes are open to the sky, and the concubine admires him."

Except for this sentence, Qingchen didn't dare to say anything else, what the Empress Dowager said was very vague, but she couldn't understand it in her heart.She was using Liang Jieyu, so why didn't the Empress Dowager want to use her?But in such a matter, she dared not express her opinion anyway.Even if he was successful in murdering the Empress Dowager, he will be a stain in the eyes of the world in the future.Besides, who can tell the merits and demerits of the royal affairs?

Xiao Jun was not the only prince of the late emperor. At the beginning, the Qin and Lin families were also heroes who assisted the new emperor to ascend the throne, but after only three years, they were already out of control of the imperial power. Many things happened in the blink of an eye.

Regardless of whether she does it or not, she can never clearly promise anything to her ancestors, so after saying this sentence, she has been hanging her head in silence.

Speaking of assassins, Xiao Jue couldn't help looking at Qingchen, her eyes were full of worry. Obviously, she didn't want Qingchen to do such a thing, even if it was for self-protection, he didn't want to see her commit a crime. How dangerous it is to fight with the Queen Mother, he knows it without thinking about it.

"Grandmother, my grandson has grown up, what's the matter, my grandson is willing to share the worries of my grandma, what do you want to do, even if you tell your grandson to do it, Concubine Chen is just a weak woman, she...is limited in what she can do after all , why not let the grandson..."

"You can't interfere with the affairs of the harem. The ancestor hopes that you won't be needed, otherwise it will be a major event in the world. The ancestor will not force others to make things difficult for her. Everything is up to her to choose."

Seeing that Nanny Xia was waiting by her side after taking something, the Empress Dowager took it over and opened the exquisite sandalwood jewelry box with gold and peony patterns, took out the pair of pigeon blood jade bracelets, looked at them and said, "This pair of bracelets , when I was not married, my grandmother gave it to me. How many years have passed in a blink of an eye. When I was young, I used to wear it to fight against the enemy. Lose the man. After walking through the bloody wind, it is only then that I have made such a great effort. Now that I think about it, although those days were extremely thrilling and the battlefield was also precarious, it became the thing I am most proud of in my life. A woman, if she can share hardships and wealth with her husband, she is not a failure to the person who treats you sincerely. If she only covets wealth, honor and comfort under his wings, then she is also incompetent, and she is not worthy to stand beside the emperor to enjoy him favor!"

Looking at the watery and transparent red jade bracelet, Mother Xia couldn't help but sigh with emotion: "This pair of bracelets has accompanied my ancestors for most of their lives, and they have also witnessed the prosperity of Daqian from the beginning of everything, to today's prosperity, It's just that how many hardships and ups and downs I have experienced during this period, others can't understand or imagine. Every time I see those scars on the empress dowager's body, the slaves can't help crying, they are all left to protect the emperor Taizu Scars, but the empress dowager has no complaints or regrets. This is a husband and wife. It is not who wants to protect the other, but to support each other to get through those disasters together, because it is a time when everyone can't take care of it. It's better to stand by your side and help each other, than to bear all the misfortunes alone. It's comforting to have someone to share even if you can't help. The ancestors gave this beloved thing to the empress, hoping that the empress can be like the empress dowager back then That's how to protect the emperor and the future grace that belongs to the empress."

"Well said, it's just such a difficult thing, not everyone can do it." The Empress Dowager handed over the bracelet, and Qingchen hurriedly knelt down to take it with both hands, bowing her head and said: "This bracelet from the old ancestor For the bracelet, it is too expensive, and the concubine dare not accept it, for fear that it will disappoint the ancestors. The concubine is not cherishing life, nor is he greedy for comfort, as long as the emperor is safe, even if the concubine is killed, the concubine will There will be no hesitation. It's just that the concubines are weak in foundation after all, and when some things are always beyond their power, the emperor is the concubine's heaven, so naturally he should share his worries. As long as the emperor needs the concubines, the concubines will be ten thousand I will die."

After all, the empress dowager still did not leave the original topic, but no matter how great the gift was, she would never promise anything easily. What she promised was to share the worries of the king, not to promise anything to the ancestors.

The empress dowager understood her concerns. Smart people always know how to leave room for themselves. The old ancestor leaned over to support her and said, "The emperor's grandmother gave you this pair of bracelets because she saw that you were wearing a begonia-colored dress. With this bracelet, such a fresh and tender color is really suitable for you young people. This season, the outside is yellow and bleak, and only by looking at you little people in bright clothes can you add a bit of vitality to the imperial garden. Grandmother is happy to see it, isn't she? Keep it safe, Grandmother loves the Emperor, why doesn't she love you too?"

As a reward from the elders, and the empress dowager's words were so gentle, she couldn't refuse, so she could only respect Fushen and said: "My concubine is afraid, thank you ancestor for the reward."

The Empress Dowager nodded again and said: "You must know about the drafting for the emperor. The drafting is a big event. After returning to Beijing, the imperial grandmother hopes that you and Concubine Ning can assist the empress and select a few well-educated and reasonable people for the emperor. Entering the palace to serve. The emperor's grandmother believes in your vision, and only you know what kind of person the emperor likes best. I am not afraid that you will not serve well. It is really that there are so few concubines in the harem. It is a matter of royal dignity and heirs Rise and fall, the imperial grandmother has to be busy."

Then he said to Xiao Jue who was on the side: "And you, it's time to decide on the candidate for this world's concubine, what's the point of procrastinating! This concubine selection is not only for your personal preference, but more importantly It's to continue the bloodline, your father and queen mother only have you as their only son, it's already very ugly, don't tell me you don't plan to marry a wife and have children when you come here?"

When it came to the draft, although Qingchen didn't have any big ups and downs on his face, he still felt unhappy in his heart. It turned out that the empress dowager's pair of bracelets was just to appease her emotions.

Xiao Jue was looking at her with sympathy. Hearing what the Empress Dowager said, she immediately said with a bitter face: "Grandmother, aren't you talking about the selection for the emperor's brother? Why did it come to me again. I have been Growing up in the capital, I don’t know which family’s lady is, I really don’t like one, if I want to choose, I have to go back to the domain to choose a wife.”

"It doesn't matter if you go back to the feudal land to choose a wife. As long as you are willing, the imperial grandmother will not care where the woman is married. You have passed the year of weak crown, and it is time to go back. Waiting for the imperial grandmother to mention this to the emperor. I want you to go back and reunite with your father, queen, mother and concubine, so that your marriage can be settled earlier, so as to spread the branches and leaves for the royal family."

Xiao Jue seemed to be afraid of the empress dowager's repentance, and hurriedly said: "Grandmother, we have agreed, I will choose the concubine when I return to the domain, and you and the emperor will never force me again."
