Chapter 343 The Flowers Have Fallen
"Concubine Qi, you are bored all day long, so it's ok for you to play mahjong in the palace, but why did you bring the Third Prince with you..." The Queen looked heartbroken, and she seemed to be hesitant to speak, with a crying voice.
Concubine Qi wanted to argue, but when the words came to her lips, she was choked and couldn't speak. What should she say? Should she say that she didn't play the leaf cards? How to explain the leaf cards in the book of the Third Prince?
This is a vicious circle, and Concubine Qi feels that she can't find a breakthrough.
"Don't worry. The emperor asked me to raise the Third Prince. I will definitely treat him well. If you want to see the Third Prince, you can see him at any time. I will definitely not let you and your son be separated."
The Queen was so sincere and tearful, the Emperor remained silent at his desk, Concubine Qi looked dejected and said hesitantly, "Thank you, Queen."
There was obedience without any argument, and all the sins seemed to have been settled.
How long has it been since the emperor listened to me carefully?
Just a few words from others can clearly define the life of myself and my son.
Concubine Qi felt that all these years were so boring.
The man in front of him hated himself, hated his old age, and hated himself so much that he didn't even want to trust his own son.
Emperors have always been fickle-hearted. When he first entered the palace, he was wearing a pink dress and standing under the crabapple flowers. He said that he looked good in pink and he liked himself that way the most.
It turns out that the young man in the palace who praised me back then had long since disappeared with the falling flowers, but I just refused to face him for all these years.
Hongshi was not the smartest child. In fact, he was not as smart as the fourth child, Hongli, who was younger than him.
What’s the point of the queen going to great lengths to get a child who is not smart enough to be by her side?
Concubine Qi didn't know how she got out of the Yangxin Palace.
Cuiguo helped her up from the cold floor of the Palace of Tranquil Longevity and whispered many words of concern and care in her ears, but she didn't hear a word.
A gust of wind blew by, and a few pink petals fell in front of her eyes. Concubine Qi looked up and found that they were crabapple flowers, which had already fallen.
Now there are only a few scattered petals on the branches, and the wrinkled and thin petals are floating lonely on the branches. It really makes people feel embarrassed for them when they look at them. It is really embarrassing to be forced to compete for the pretty colors of spring.
"Cuiguo, the flowers have fallen." Concubine Qi looked at the branches and said hesitantly.
She was extremely disappointed with that man.
If you don't like it, why did you do it in the first place?
Cuiguo felt that the queen was not like usual, her emotions were all shown on her face. At this moment, she was a little worried about her queen's mental state.
The Third Prince is the Empress's life. Now that he is away from the Empress, his life will be difficult.
"Your Majesty, let's go back to Changchun Palace." Cuiguo helped Concubine Qi walk back.
At the corner of the long street, the master and servant turned around and bumped into a blue figure.
"Your Majesty, be careful!" Concubine Qi staggered and almost fell to the ground.
It turned out that Concubine Wan was so panic-stricken. It was rare to see Concubine Wan so panic-stricken.
After being hit, Concubine Qi came to her senses. She patted Cuiguo's hand and signaled Cuiguo to help Concubine Wan up.
"Empress Wanpin, you are weak, please get up quickly." Cuiguo went forward and helped Concubine Wan up.
After Wanpin stood firm, she bowed to Concubine Qi and said, "I was reckless and offended Your Majesty. Please forgive me, Your Majesty Qi."
"It's okay. Why is there no palace maid with you? You just had a miscarriage and you are still weak. Cuiguo, please accompany Wanpin back to the palace." Women who have miscarriage experience the same pain as giving birth. Concubine Qi knows the heart-wrenching pain.
"I'm fine." Wanpin's face was pale, and the panic in her eyes was hard to hide. She just managed to say, "Let Cuiguo go back with you."
"The Changchun Palace is just ahead. I can walk around by myself. You are weak, so there is no need to refuse. Cuiguo." Concubine Qi looked at Cuiguo. Cuiguo understood what her master meant, so she said to Concubine Wan:
"My lady, I will accompany you back to the palace."
Zhen Huan, who was already frightened by the cold palace, did not refuse. Concubine Qi and her personal maid were both kind people. She, Zhen Huan, would remember this kindness in her heart.
"Thank you." Zhen Huan said goodbye to Concubine Qi and turned to walk towards Sui Yuxuan.
As for Concubine Qi, her mood had improved a lot because of the collision.
Men are like fleeting clouds.
Over the years, we only see each other during the holidays. No matter how much love we had back then, there is not much left now.
The right thing to do is to think of a way to get your son back.
His son is his own flesh and blood. If his father doesn't love him, his mother should love him more.
Although Concubine Qi was smart but not good at speaking, she felt a strong sense of being pushed on her back at this moment, as if there was a big hand in her mind pushing her to think this way.
The more you think about it, the clearer your mind becomes and the more refreshed your mood becomes.
As long as the person is still alive, everything can be discussed.
When she arrived at the gate of Changchun Palace, Concubine Qi felt her steps lighten up, but her chest felt sore and empty. It turned out that her emotions were too fluctuating and were not good for her health.
Concubine Qi wiped the corners of her eyes with a handkerchief, took a few deep breaths, and walked into Changchun Palace.
Concubine Qi originally thought that only Xin Changzai was waiting for her. These days, she and Xin Changzai had become much closer, and she would even tell her some of her heartfelt words.
Over the years, apart from relying on the Queen and often saying flattering words to her, and the Queen giving good things to the Third Prince, she had a cold relationship with the women in the harem and did not have much contact with them.
It's nothing more than a fight for favor. There's no true sisterly love at all.
But lately, living like this, letting down my guard and being honest with each other, it really feels good.
At this moment, she didn't expect that in addition to Concubine Xin, Concubine Hua was also in Changchun Palace, admiring the peonies planted by Concubine Xin.
"Empress Qi is back." Linglong was the first to see Concubine Qi. She ran over and grabbed her hand.
Linglong's hands were warm, sweaty, and a little sticky. No one knew what the child had touched, but Concubine Qi, whose emotions had gone through a lot, had cold hands and feet. Now, holding Linglong's hand, she felt particularly at ease.
When Concubine Xin and Concubine Hua heard Linglong's movement, they both turned around to look.
"Empress, why did you come back alone? Where is Cuiguo?" Xin Changzai asked.
"I met Concubine Wan on the way. Seeing that she was frail, I asked Cuiguo to accompany her back."
It was just a small matter and no one cared about it.
"I heard that the peonies planted by Concubine Xin have bloomed, so I came here specially to admire the flowers." Concubine Hua proudly stroked the bun behind her head that was not at all messy.
"Then you can reward me. I'm tired and I'm going to take a rest." Facing the charming and gorgeous Concubine Hua, Concubine Qi suddenly felt that her usual bickering was meaningless and replied in a faint voice.
Even Concubine Qi used "I" instead of "this palace".
