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

Chapter 86
Qingchen handed the white porcelain bowl with blue and white twigs and lotus to Jin Xin who was behind him, and asked Ye Hanyu, "Did sister not get along with the queen when she was young?"

Ye Hanyu casually pointed at a few fallen flowers on the table, and said in a low voice: "Why do you think the queen mother doesn't like the queen? It's because the princess chosen by the queen mother shouldn't be her, but she just wanted to marry the emperor. After waiting for many years, I even missed the good time to get married, saying that I would rather become a monk than marrying the person I like. The Queen Mother couldn't stand Mrs. Lin's repeated pleas, and thought of the stakes involved, so she couldn't offend Shangshu Lin. That's why I agreed to this marriage. After all, it didn't work out in my heart, so I accepted Qin Guifei into the palace. When she was a child, she couldn't see the emperor getting close to other girls. Although I was young at that time, I had no other thoughts, but I still suffered from her dark losses several times. Now that I am older, I have more thoughts, how can she protect me?"

Qingchen thought for a while after listening, and pondered: "So that's the case. I just heard that the queen mother doesn't like the queen very much, but it turned out to be true. The queen loves the emperor so much, so naturally she can't allow anyone to compete for favor. Don't be discouraged, just be careful not to let her make mistakes. Now that Concubine Shu is standing in front of her, she probably won't be able to spare her energy to deal with others."

Ye Hanyu nodded slightly, then smiled at her again, "Chen'er, I'm really happy that you got promoted, I don't know why, I feel at ease with you here."

Qingchen brushed off the fallen flowers from Ye Hanyu's hair with his hand, and said with a smile, "Me too, I also feel at ease with my sister protecting me."

Yun Lan saw that it was getting late, so she reminded softly: "My lord, it's time to go back. The banquet is still over, so it's not good to be out for a long time."

Ye Hanyu looked at the sky, reached out to support her and said, "It's time to go back. If you still feel uncomfortable, they will serve you a bowl of hangover soup later."

Qingchen took Xiao Jue's hangover medicine and drank another bowl of hangover soup, feeling much better now.When the two returned to the banquet, they saw that the ancestor was watching with great interest a group of ladies dancing on the fallen flowers, with the petals flying like snow in their sleeves, that scene was really beautiful and moving.

After the song was over, the ancestor played the reward, and was about to order the next one, when Xiao Guiren beside him suddenly retched.During such a quiet time, everyone's eyes came over unexpectedly, Qingchen also thought that she was drunk and uncomfortable, so he hurriedly asked the little palace maid to serve her tea.

The queen looked over from the crowd and asked, "What's the matter, Mr. Xiao, but is there something uncomfortable?"

Xiao Guiren hurriedly got up and replied: "If you go back to the queen, the concubine is just, just a little nauseated, it's okay."

The queen asked again with concern: "Do you want to send the imperial doctor over to have a look?"

Xiao Guiren blushed, and replied shyly: "Thank you, Empress, for your concern, concubines are fine, so don't bother the imperial physician."

Concubine Shu let out a sigh, and reprimanded in a loud voice: "Mr. Xiao was born as a young lady after all, how could he be so disrespectful in front of the ancestors? It's really unworthy of the stage."

Xiao Guiren's face froze when he heard the words, and he pushed back unconvinced, "There is a reason for my concubine's discomfort. This concubine is unhappy, and this concubine can't control it." After speaking, he looked at Concubine Shu proudly and provocatively.

Concubine Shu was drinking tea, when she heard the words she turned her head abruptly, inadvertently spilled the tea in her hand and burned her hands, she hurriedly threw the teacup on the table.
