concubine daughter

Chapter 74
After speaking, Man Qing turned and left.

Hong Yi held the jade in his hand, and slowly brought it close to his nose, closed his eyes and smelled the lingering fragrance on it, with a hint of joy in the corner of his mouth.

Man Qing went out of the side hall of side blessings alone, and saw Hongyao standing at the door of the side hall, looking at her with a smirk.

"Wanfu, the crown prince." Man Qing took him in immediately, and treated him with a normal expression.

Hongyao approached Manqing step by step, sizing up Manqing's body evilly, "In the dead of night, what is the princess doing in the side hall? Trying to meet the fourth emperor brother?"

It was already six months ago that the setting sun met, but Hongyao was still brooding about it, insisting on seizing Hongzhen's tricks.

When Hongyi heard the commotion outside, he came out of the window, so as not to be alone and widowed, and not be able to tell the relationship.

"What fourth prince? What is the meaning of the crown prince?" Man Qing was not afraid of Hongyao's approach, but retorted confidently: "The person who met me is the crown prince, right? It’s hard to escape the blame.”

"What's the matter? In the worst case, I will marry Princess Qianye. The princess is beautiful and beautiful, which is exactly what I want." Hongyao was not frightened by Man Qing's words.

Man Qing sneered coldly, "The prince dares to rob the emperor for a woman? The emperor often goes to my palace to be alone with me. There has been a lot of rumors in the palace, saying that I have the order to accompany you, let alone the position of the prince." Well, even the Queen's position can be abolished with a single word from me."

Hongyao had indeed heard a lot of rumors recently, and often heard the emperor mentioning Manqing, saying that she was a woman who made people's hearts flutter, maybe the emperor really wanted to accept a concubine.

The reason why the emperor was so blatant was that he wanted all his concubines to be jealous of Manqing. When Manqing couldn't resist, she would automatically fall into the emperor's embrace and beg the emperor to accept her.When the emperor subdued the strong woman's heart, he would ruthlessly abandon it to satisfy his own selfish desires.

Hongyao didn't understand the emperor's mind, he thought that Manqing was very likely to be a concubine, and with Manqing's scheming, he was more likely to be a concubine, so he had to guard against it.

"I still have things to deal with, so I'm leaving." Hong Yao turned and left.

"Congratulations to the crown prince." Man Qing saluted and sent it off.

Man Qing returned to the main hall of Yinghua Palace, but saw Hongzhen drinking alone in the corner, judging by his expression, he should have just started drinking.

"Fourth Prince, why are you drinking alone?" Man Qing couldn't help herself again, Hongzhen really had a kind of attraction to her, just like Daiyu did to Baoyu.

Hong Zhen handed Man Qing a wine glass and poured wine for Man Qing. "Drink together, and in another year, maybe we won't be able to drink together."

Man Qing suddenly understood what Hong Zhen was thinking. He was nineteen this year and would be crowned next year. The emperor probably tentatively arranged his marriage, a marriage that he was not satisfied with.

"I'll take you to a place." Man Qing looked around, it was a dark corner, no one seemed to be paying attention.

Man Qing took Hong Zhen's hand without hesitation. Although she didn't like others to help her, she would still help others.

"Just for one night, put aside the female training, let me make an exception." Man Qing thought to himself, took Hong Zhen out of the Yinghua Palace, and came to the side hall of the North Palace together.

The North Palace is a cold palace that is temporarily uninhabited, and the side hall is temporarily used for wine storage and brewing, and generally no one will come.

"This is the best place I found this year. It's a place where I can sit quietly alone." The two entered the side hall.

Man Qing opened a jug of wine and sniffed it enjoyably, it smelled so good. "I've checked everything. There is no registration for the wine here. As long as you don't drink it up, you shouldn't be found."

Hong Zhen looked at Man Qing blankly, "This is a capital crime."

"Fear of death is not a hero! When I first entered the palace, I was also afraid of death. But later I found that the more I want to die, the more I can't die, and the more I don't want to die, it happens to you. In a word, do you want to drink?"

Man Qing handed a jug of wine to Hongzhen. She had the boldness of a general in her bones.

Hongzhen drank the spirits in one gulp, and felt a rush of heat rushing to his brain, although it was uncomfortable but very exciting.

Man Qing also drank half of the jug, her alcohol capacity was not as good as Hong Zhen's, and she blushed as soon as she drank half of the jug.

"You look so pretty after drinking. You are born beautiful and hard to give up. (from (Everlasting Regret)) is [-]% similar to the general's wife." Hongzhen boasted slightly drunk.

After hearing this, Man Qing couldn't help shedding tears, "It's because of the eight points of similarity..." Man Qing hesitated to speak, it was because of the eight points of similarity that the emperor counted them.After entering the palace for a year, every time she wanted to take revenge, she was afraid that the emperor would deliberately make things difficult for her mother outside the palace, so she had to have a careful plan.

"You are still so cautious, even if you are drunk." Hong Zhen knew what Man Qing wanted to say, so his tone was full of apology.

Man Qing didn't speak, leaned against the wall, slowly closed her eyes, "I'm a little dizzy, the wine is so strong today."

"Obviously you have something on your mind, why always hide it? I understand how Father treats you." Hong Zhen said what was in his heart, and his cheeks turned red.

"The emperor treats me the best, the emperor is wise." Man Qing's voice was so small that only she could hear it.

"When I was young, I was also like you, because my concubine said that deep palaces are like dangerous chess. Concubine mother was a very cautious person, but she couldn't escape other people's schemes, and unfortunately passed away."

"My mother and concubine are not loved by my father. After I was ten years old, I asked myself to win the king's heart in every way, so that my father would remember my mother and concubine. But no matter how hard I tried, my father didn't even look at my mother and concubine. Watching my concubine being murdered by Concubine Wanyueshu and Concubine Shuxian."

"My concubine told me before that she is actually not my biological mother. She never gave birth to a child for my father. She is just an orphan concubine sent by a high-ranking person to serve her son. So no matter how hard I try, my father will never give birth. and will not pity her."

Hong Zhen wanted to tell Man Qing that they were orphans and orphans with the same disease, Hu Qi didn't dote on Yaxuan, and the emperor didn't dote on Concubine Xiande either.

"So, you and I are both fallen in the world?" Man Qing asked in a low voice, as if she had fallen into a light sleep. "That's why you want to help me, nothing else?"

Hongzhen's face flushed red again, "Other meanings... I've always felt guilty for Madam's disfigurement. So..."

"You don't have to feel guilty, even if your mother isn't disfigured, my father won't show any affection for her. His heart is not with her." Man Qing fell asleep and fell into a sweet dreamland.
