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

Chapter 872
Xiao Jue looked at Concubine Li sharply, seeing her smiling like a flower, playing with the silk handkerchief in her hand alluringly, she didn't care about his dissatisfaction at all.

The emperor also seemed to be very interested and asked: "What Concubine Li said is that you have to let me know which family you like, so that I can give you a marriage."

Xiao Jue restrained the emotions in his eyes, still smiled gently and said: "It's not just a lady from a family, just a brothel singer, even if my younger brother has a heart, he may not be willing, so let's wait until we talk about it, younger brother And I don't want to force her."

Concubine Li thoughtfully took over the words and said: "It turns out that what the son said is a brothel singer? I didn't expect that in your eyes, Concubine Chen is not as good as a prostitute."

"Women in the world are not all self-deprecating and self-deprecating. The lady also stayed in that kind of place. She should be able to understand that everyone has their own choices. Some people can still have noble character no matter where they are. Like a lotus flower, it emerges from the mud without being stained, isn't the empress such a person?"

Xiao Jue's tone was already filled with cold dissatisfaction, with a gun and a stick in his hand, he praised and criticized in secret, but Concubine Li couldn't understand the meaning of his words, her face became gloomy in an instant, and said with a sneer, "My palace congratulates Your Highness I have found the person I like, I hope Concubine Chen finds out and is also happy for His Highness."

Xiao Jue also fought back without giving in: "The concubine Chen treats others, and never sees such superficial things as her background, otherwise she would not mind sitting on an equal footing with you, my empress."

Xiao Jue's every word was like a needle piercing Concubine Li's heart, in front of the emperor, she dared to think some cruel words but dared not say them, so she could only swallow her breath, snorted coldly and turned her face away, no longer talking to him.

Although Xiao Jue said this, he felt uncomfortable in his heart. He never thought that one day, the two would come to such a point of confrontation, which made him feel a deep sense of sadness deep in his heart.

Seeing that the faces of the two were angry, the emperor ignored Concubine Li, and said to Xiao Jue indifferently: "Just now you said that you wanted that "Landscape after Snow", but it's a pity that I gave that painting to you. Concubine Chen, I said, as long as I can give you, I will not be stingy to give, and what I can't give, that is, I really can't give, do you understand?"

These words sounded different, Xiao Jue was a smart person, after a little thought he quickly replied: "Your brother understands that since it already belongs to someone else, it means that you have no destiny with me, and I will not force you."

"But this time I really want to fulfill you." The tone of the emperor's words made Xiao Jue's heart tremble violently, and he felt that there seemed to be some deep meaning, but he dared not think about it.

Xiao Jue's eyes trembled slightly, and he looked at the emperor suspiciously, and listened to Xiao Jun's order: "Fuquan, send someone to tell Concubine Chen that the prince wants her "Landscape Picture after Snow" to give to his sweetheart, and let her cut it off. I'll just send her something else in the future. She also mentioned to me before that she wanted to find a good marriage for the prince, and she must be happy to hear the news. I lose face in front of the person I like."

Xiao Jue's brows were slightly frowned, feeling a little uncomfortable. Seeing him like that, Concubine Li couldn't help but sneered.

I heard the emperor ask again: "Is there anything else?"

Xiao Jue thought of Qingchen's entrustment, hesitated for a moment, and said: "My brother knows that the emperor is worrying about the construction of the border trade city recently, but my brother has an idea. I wonder if the emperor can listen to my brother?"

"No need, this is a matter in the court. Let me settle it. If you have nothing else to do, go down. I will talk to you when I have time." Xiao Jun's tone was faintly impatient. Not long after leaving here, Xiao Jue came to the imperial study, and the two had met before, he believed that Xiao Jue must have been entrusted by Qing Chen to come to the imperial court to ask for an audience.It's just that it's not good for her to go to anyone, so why did she go to him?

If she really wanted to help him, she could go to Ye Hanyu or Concubine Ning. She wanted to tell him what she thought, and there were plenty of people who could convey it to her. Why was this person Xiao Jue?
The emperor's complexion was not good, but Xiao Jue didn't want to disappoint Qing Chen's entrustment, so he insisted: "Brother Emperor, just listen to what I say, as long as you plan..."

"Fuquan, send your son out and change my clothes for me. I'm going to the racetrack to relax my muscles and bones."

The emperor got up and went to the West Nuan Pavilion, Xiao Jue followed behind and hurriedly said: "Brother Emperor, Concubine Chen is ill, and it's not serious. Brother Huang, don't you want to go and see her?"

The emperor said without looking back: "If you are sick, go to the imperial doctor. What's the use of seeing her?"

Fuquan reached out his hand to stop Xiao Jue, and tried to persuade him: "Your Highness, you should go back first." Then he cautiously glanced into the West Nuan Pavilion, and said in a low voice, "Don't meddle in the matter of Concubine Chen, If you really want to do her best, stay away from her, some things will only help you more and more, or even a disservice, that's all the old slave said, so His Highness please go back on your own."

Xiao Jue didn't say anything else, but turned around and walked out with a sad expression. He understood Fu Quan's words, and the emperor was really angry about that matter.

Not long after leaving the Imperial Study Room, I saw the little Wuzi coming over with a long brocade silk painting box, bowed and smiled and said, "Your Highness, this is the painting you want. Concubine Chen said congratulations."

Xiao Jue looked at the painting with concentration, turned around and left, Xiao Wuzi was puzzled by his attitude, handed the things to Xiao Luzi, and asked: "Your Highness, what's the matter, didn't you go well just now? "

Xiao Luzi took the things and hurriedly said: "I'm sorry for the fifth father-in-law. The slave doesn't know what's wrong with my master, so I'll go and have a look, so I won't bother the fifth father-in-law."

"Go quickly, His Highness is gone." The little five turned around, and saw the emperor walking out of the imperial study with a dark face. He was the servant who served the emperor personally, so he didn't dare to make a sound, so he hurriedly followed .

When Qingchen returned to Qifeng Palace, Gu Yunfeng had just arrived, checked her pulse, and sent her to take medicine, then stood in front of the couch and asked: "Chen'er, what happened to you and the emperor during this time? The emperor has been in a very restless mood recently, and he gets angry easily, what did you do to make him so angry?"

"Don't you know what I did? Because of the matter of Concubine Li's pill, I just didn't feel at ease and wanted to check it out, but he was unhappy, as if I had committed such an unforgivable crime, and refused to accept it again." Forgive me." As Qing Chen said, he fell on the pillow and wept aggrievedly, "You still say that you are a wise king, and you don't distinguish between public and private? What kind of wise king is it? Today I went to the imperial study room to ask for an interview. Is it because of my own private affairs? The rise and fall of the world Everyone is responsible, even if I am a commoner, if I have a good strategy to govern the country, can't I ask the emperor to listen to the heavens, why would he refuse to see me? After all, I am for the long-term peace and stability of Daqian, not for him .”
