Qin Qingyun accepted Fang Cai's sweet and gentle smile, and said calmly: "Mother, in the deep palace, there are a few people who can get what they really like, and what the father asks him to like must like." โ
Concubine Mei sneered: "The people in the palace think that the palace loves plum blossoms the most, so His Majesty gave him the title of Concubine Mei, but no one knows that this palace has such a title because of His Majesty's words, and then he likes plum blossoms." โ
Concubine Mei picked up the flower branches decorated with flowers and chuckled: "Yun'er, do you know why your father gave this palace as Concubine Mei?"
Qin Qingyun shook her head: "Yun'er doesn't know. โ
"Your Majesty said that the plum blossoms bloom proudly in the snow, and they are the strongest, just like the palace, so they gave this title. โ
Qin Qingyun hesitated and said, "Mother concubine, this is the love of my father. โ
"Love is not necessarily important, who in this palace will not endure, the queen is not favored, she endures, although Concubine Yun is favored, but after so many years, she has not even fished a concubine, what is the emperor's mind? Concubine Yun didn't think of it, but she could only endure it. There is also the imperial concubine, who marries relatives far away, why can't she endure it?"
"There are so many women, all of them can endure, and this palace is not the first one. โ
Qin Qingyun bowed her head and was silent.
Concubine Mei also felt that today's words were too sad, smiled lightly, and said, "Yun'er, the mother concubine is just talking to you, where do you want to go?"
Qin Qingyun raised her head at this time, looked at Concubine Mei, and said, "Mother, if Yun'er is a prince, will the mother concubine be much happier." โ
Qin Qingyun always knew that Concubine Mei would show a faint sadness from time to time, but she quickly put away her emotions and didn't let anyone see it.
Concubine Mei shook her head and said, "Silly child, the mother concubine should be content if she can have you." There are very few children in this palace who can give birth to children smoothly, and the mother concubine still has you, what about the princess, and what about the prince? โ
Qin Qingyun disagreed: "Mother, if Yun'er is a prince, the mother concubine will be like Concubine Yun, spoil the harem, and even compete with the queen." โ
Concubine Yun seems to be smart, but her temperament is not as restrained as Concubine Mei, and Qin Zhishan's arrogant temperament is not just following her. In terms of real intelligence, Qin Qingyun feels that it is none other than his mother Concubine Mei.
Concubine Mei smiled lightly: "Yun'er, you look down on your mother, for so many years, our mother and son can live peacefully in the harem, but it's because of our duty, and Yun'er You are a princess, you can't get in the way of the prince, otherwise someone would have been eyeing us a long time ago." โ
"Mother, we can't rely on people like this forever. Qin Qingyun said helplessly, "It is said that Yun'er's temper is better than Qin Zhishan's, but you know the concubine, Qin Zhishan is favored, and she shows her daughter's face everywhere, how is her daughter not angry in her heart, but according to her mother's words, endure it, Concubine Yun is not easy to forgive, Yun'er can only endure it, but Yun'er really doesn't want to endure it like this for a lifetime." โ
"Yun'er, you are wrong, the mother concubine told you not to worry about Qin Zhishan, not because you can't afford to offend Concubine Yun, but because the mother concubine doesn't want you to become someone else's knife, the queen and Concubine Yun are fighting hotly, if you are on a par with Qin Zhishan, you will inevitably be used. โ
Qin Qingyun was silent. She didn't think it was for this reason.
Concubine Mei continued: "Yun'er, you are still young, you still can't understand some things, don't say anything else, look at the imperial concubine, she has the support of Nanqi behind her, and she is the most favored woman in the harem, she seems to be full of majesty, but she has ever begged for a half-point errand for her biological son the fifth prince, the five princes have reached the age when they can leave the palace and open the mansion, but the imperial concubine has never mentioned it like His Majesty, haven't you thought about why?"
"Is it true that the imperial concubine dotes on the five princes and is reluctant to let him out of the palace?" Concubine Mei said, "The imperial concubine is just checking for the five princes, he stays in the palace, he is a rich and noble idler, and no one will give him any anger, and no one can win him over, any battle for the throne, he is involved in it, and he is wise to protect himself, nothing more than this." โ
Qin Qingyun listened to Concubine Mei's words, like carrying a pot to fill water, the things that she couldn't think of before are now clear.
"Mother, Yun'er has something she hasn't told you. Qin Qingyun hesitated for a moment, but finally decided to speak.
"What's the matter?"
Qin Qingyun paused and said, "Father seems to be intent on giving Yun'er to the six princes of Southern Qi. โ
Concubine Mei was surprised: "When did it happen? Who told you that?"
Qin Qingyun replied: "It's Gonggong Hu beside my father, he said that my father means that the six princes are guests from afar, and there are several Yun'er in this palace who are the most knowledgeable, so that Yun'er can contact the six princes from time to time,"
Concubine Mei frowned slightly: "You did it?"
"How dare Yun'er go around in front of the six princes every day as her father said, but today I heard that the six princes went to Shou'an Palace, so I said a few words to him in the name of asking the queen mother. โ
Qin Qingyun secretly looked at Concubine Mei's expression, Concubine Mei frowned, and she didn't seem to be very happy.
Qin Qingyun was afraid of upsetting Concubine Mei, so she hurriedly said cautiously: "Mother, do you think Yun'er did something inappropriate?"
Concubine Mei pondered for a moment, and then said: "Hu Quan is the first confidant by His Majesty's side, what he said must be what His Majesty meant, the six princes of Nanqi, the mother concubine has also seen it, but it is a rare good son, if Yun'er can marry him, it is also your blessing, but it is just ......"
"Just what?" Qin Qingyun hurriedly asked.
Looking at Qin Qingyun's hurried expression, Concubine Mei turned to ask, "Yun'er, tell your mother honestly, do you like the six princes?"
Qin Qingyun's face was slightly red, and she replied in a low voice: "Mother, Yun'er has only met the six princes twice, where can you talk about liking or not? As the concubine said, he is indeed a rare man. โ
Concubine Mei smiled and nodded: "Yun'er, it's best for you to think like this." โ
Looking at her slightly shy daughter, Concubine Mei couldn't help but sigh: "Mother has always felt that you are a child who has not grown up, and it is not until today that she feels that you are a real big girl." โ
"Mother ......" Qin Qingyun was shy.
Concubine Mei smiled: "Yun'er, the mother concubine is just such a child as you, and I also hope that you can live happily in the future, safe and smooth, do not seek supreme glory, just hope that you can be carefree." The six princes are indeed lovers, but if you want to marry him, then you must be happy with him. โ
"Is this possible?" Qin Qingyun hesitated, "Yun'er is used to seeing women in the palace, and she has never seen any mutual affection." โ
"Yun'er, you don't know. Concubine Mei explained, "Nanqi is different from Western Qin, although Nanqi is also a man with three wives and four concubines, but most of the princes of the Nanqi royal family are lovers, even if there are other women, but there is only one love in their hearts." โ
"Take the current Emperor of Southern Qi as an example, it is rumored that his favorite woman is his wife Empress Shengyuan, after the death of Empress Shengyuan, he devoted all his thoughts to the government and politics, the harem is just a place to relieve boredom, Emperor Nanqi's later queen Han, that is, the biological mother of the six princes, the reason why Queen Han was established as the successor, is because she does not fight or rob, is generous, and has the talent to govern the harem. โ
It was the first time Qin Qingyun had heard of such a thing.
"Mother, what you said is true? After all, the rumors are just rumors, maybe it's not like that?" Qin Qingyun was a little unconvinced.
Concubine Mei smiled faintly and said: "The mother concubine believes that the air may not come to the wind, not only the current Emperor of Southern Qi, but also the previous Emperor of Southern Qi are all rumored to be in love with one person. If it's just one person, it's just rumored that three generations of grandparents are like this. โ
One person can be said to be a rumor, but if all three are like this, it may not be a rumor.
"I have never heard of a truly infatuated emperor in the royal family, and Yun'er is lonely and unheard. โ
"Not to mention the emperor, even ordinary people rarely have this. However, infatuation is infatuation, and the love path of several generations of emperors in the Southern Qi Dynasty is not smooth. The current Emperor of Southern Qi loves Empress Shengyuan, but unfortunately Empress Shengyuan has a thin face. The previous Emperor of Southern Qi was even more vacant after his lifetime, and it is said that the woman he loved could not marry him. โ
The more Qin Qingyun listened, the more interested she became, and she couldn't help but ask, "What about the last Southern Qi Emperor?
Concubine Mei sighed lightly and said: "In the last term, the rumors are even more incredible, that Emperor of Southern Qi fell in love with a married woman, killed the woman's husband, and then let the woman enter the palace as a concubine as a sibling sister." โ
"What!" Qin Qingyun was shocked, "There is such a thing." โ
After thinking about it, he said: "Thunder and rain dew are Jun'en, and it is not surprising that such a thing is not surprising. โ
"Not really. Concubine Mei shook her head and said, "It is said that it was not her intention to enter the palace as a concubine, just to protect her and her husband's daughter, and later her daughter was discovered by the emperor, and the emperor wanted to kill her, and the woman went crazy directly, and then died in a fire." โ
"This woman is really pitiful, in order to protect her daughter, she committed herself to others, and in the end her daughter died. Qin Qingyun was fascinated and couldn't help but sigh for the woman.
Concubine Mei shook her head again: "The story is more complicated than you think, the woman's daughter is actually not dead, she was rescued, and later returned to the capital of Nanqi, revealed the truth about the cause of her parents' death, rehabilitated her husband, and avenged her mother. โ
"It's also amazing for a weak woman whose life is not guaranteed, and who can still wash away the grievances of her parents. Qin Qingyun asked, "Mother, is she still alive in the world? โ
Concubine Mei smiled: "I don't know if she is still in the world, but the previous emperor of Nanqi has read her all her life, and she has never been a queen for her life." โ
Qin Qingyun was shocked: "Mother, what do you mean is that the last Emperor of Southern Qi and the previous Emperor of Southern Qi fell in love with a mother and daughter......
