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

Chapter 879 Li Wei (2)
Seeing that the emperor seemed to be in a bad mood, the queen glanced at the concubine Chen who was sitting there quietly, with a calm expression, as if everything that happened here had nothing to do with her, and she was completely different from other people. Some of them have some earnest expectations, hoping that he can take another look at him.

The queen raised her lips slightly, and said with a gentle smile to the emperor: "Your Majesty, the emperor's birthday is about to come, and the concubine and concubine Ning should also start preparing. I wonder if the emperor has anything special to explain?"

Xiao Jun said lightly: "It's good to keep everything simple. The Empress and Concubine Ning have always handled the affairs of the harem in a safe manner. I am very relieved."

The queen nodded with a smile, and asked as if thinking of something: "It's a coincidence that Wei Guiren's birthday is only one day later than Concubine Chen's. This concubine thinks that she is a newcomer entering the palace. This is her first birthday in the palace. If you want to give her a favor and give her a good birthday, why not postpone Concubine Chen's birthday for a day, and celebrate together with more excitement, I wonder what the emperor wants?"

Qingchen only felt a breath of bad breath stuck in her chest, which made her chest hurt and even a little disgusting. She was an imposing concubine of the second rank, but she was going to accommodate a nobleman of the seventh rank. Maybe in the eyes of others, the queen gave her such a grand birthday The banquet was all borrowed from nobleman Wei.

The corners of the lips unconsciously showed a hint of smirk. Qingchen thought that the queen wanted to humiliate her, and she really spared no effort. If it was just to let her avoid the emperor's birthday, she could celebrate her one day in advance. What did nobleman Wei say? She is just a little nobleman, congratulate her together two days in advance, if it is her birthday, if the empress wants to be kind, she can hold another family banquet for her, why bother to press herself to go To accommodate others?
Xiao Jun looked at Qingchen, and saw her eyes getting colder and colder. Even if she didn't say a word, he knew that she was not happy. Besides, what the queen did seemed to be very good. There is something wrong with it.

The emperor pondered slightly and said in a gentle voice: "For the matter of the birthday, it's okay to have fun a few days in advance, but if you go to celebrate after that day, it will inevitably feel meaningless. Since the birthday of Concubine Chen is on the same day as mine, I also feel that This is God's will, so I still want her to live a happy life. There is really no need to postpone it in advance to avoid anything. As for Wei Guiren's birthday, if the queen wants to be kind, she can also make it more lively for her, but at the same time As a concubine, even though she is a newcomer, the queen doesn't need to favor her too much.

Xiao Jun felt uncomfortable, maybe this was her last birthday by his side, and he didn't want to wrong her.

Even though the queen was extremely displeased, she still suppressed the uneasiness in her heart, and said with a warm smile: "In this case, everything should be done according to the emperor's wishes. There is one more thing, the concubine wants to I would like to ask the emperor for instructions. The emperor rewarded Mrs. Wei with a few pieces of Shu brocade before. She wanted the Ministry of Internal Affairs to use that material to make her a dress, but the Shu brocade is very expensive, and it is difficult to match such a good material with ordinary silk thread. But with her As a noble person, you can't use gold thread to embroider the embroidery on your clothes. Look, Your Majesty..."

Xiao Jun understood what the empress meant, whether it was Shu brocade or gold thread, neither of them could be used by a small seventh-rank nobleman. The queen probably wanted to ask for a reward from nobleman Wei, but right now he didn't want to give this grace.

The emperor said lightly: "It's not a big deal, since she likes it, let her use it."

The queen still had the usual gentle smile on her face, and told Zheyue, "Then you send someone to tell Mrs. Wei that the emperor gave her a special favor to make a beautiful dress with that Shu brocade, so that she can rest assured." Just wear what you're wearing."

Zheyue hurriedly said: "Yes, the servant girl is going now."

Someone in the hall snorted unconvinced, but the queen pretended not to hear it.

Qingchen didn't know what kind of tricks the queen would use to stimulate herself next, but no matter what others said, she didn't have the strength to care about it at the moment, and she was too lazy to care about it.Now she only hopes that the empress can finish her speech quickly, and then let her leave this tiresome place as soon as possible.

Even though he suppressed the irritability in his heart so much, there was still a hint of impatience on his face. This subtle expression fell into the eyes of the emperor. He also knew that she hated hearing these intrigues when she was ill, and wanted to let her go back to rest, but after all It's been a long time since I haven't seen her, and I feel a little bit reluctant, and want to see her more.

Seeing that she couldn't help coughing again, that really made his heart ache, so the emperor ordered: "Okay, I still have some things to discuss with the queen, if you're fine, just kneel down."

Qingchen wished to hear his voice, supported Yunlan's hand, stood up and followed the blessings of the crowd, turned around and walked out.Seeing that she hadn't raised her eyes to look at him from the beginning to the end, Xiao Jun felt even more angry in her heart, so she couldn't help but tighten her brows.

Concubine Ning saw that her face seemed to be uncomfortable, knowing that she was not just physically unwell, but she still cared about everything that happened in Jiaofang Palace today, so she softly persuaded: "Sister Chenfei, some things you want Think about it, even those families of officials and officials have used marriages to consolidate their power for many years, let alone the royal family? The emperor's drafts are often used to balance the power of the previous dynasty, so it's up to him whether he likes it or not. It is a last resort for the palace to enter the palace. I dare to say that even among the new concubines, it is not that everyone is greedy for the wealth of the royal family, and everyone has their own suffering. It is not just you, the queen's glory How much heartache is behind it, who of us has seen it? So I never think about the love between children. It is not easy to survive in this palace, why bother to be tired by feelings, it will only be more painful It's just yourself. Think about it carefully, and when you understand it, you won't be so sad."

Qingchen is actually very envious of Concubine Ning's cold hearted person. Even if she doesn't get the emperor's favor, she is still one of the few people the emperor can trust in the harem. Without favor, she has nothing for herself , but for Concubine Ning, without the emperor's love, she still has rights. As long as she firmly grasps the power of the sixth palace, no matter how favored the concubines are, no one will dare to openly challenge her majesty.

This is the difference between herself and Concubine Ning, no matter how much Xiao Jun spoiled her, she never thought of snatching the power of the harem, just like Concubine Ning never expected the emperor's love no matter how much power she held.

Qingchen hooked his lips slightly, and smiled reluctantly: "Sister Concubine Ning is willing to tell me this, so it can be seen that it is really for my own good, and she has said everything so thoroughly, if I can't figure it out, then it is really I'm so uneducated. I know very well what the queen's purpose is in today's incident, and I won't take it to heart. Even though I'm sick and unable to think about things, I'm not so confused that I even care about other people's intentions Do not wear."
