Chapter 79: Concubine Chen
The fact that her younger brother actually knew and was friends with Princess Ming made Concubine Qing a little surprised, but she didn't ask much, after all, this occasion is not suitable to ask.
With a shallow smile, Concubine Qing casually said a few words to Murong Zhen, and then chatted with the concubine about other things.
Yuan Quanquan stood behind the concubine, and his eyes quietly glanced at Murong Zhen opposite. Usually when I meet him, he is wearing the ugly fast catching suit, but today is the first time I have seen him wearing regular clothes.
A dark cyan power suit is simple and neat, not dragging, and the black hair is tied high behind the head and fixed with a silver crown. The long body is jade, like a pine and cypress, the expression on the face is indifferent, and the eyes reveal a touch of concern, which is really fresh and handsome, and it is pleasing to the eye!
Looking at Concubine Qing again, her eyes turned a few times on the faces of the two, and Yuan Quanquan found that the sister and brother really looked alike.
Sure enough, the genes are very strong!
The concubine and Concubine Qing were not interested in what they were talking about, so they simply began to be in a daze, but as a result, she suddenly felt that there was something strange in this room.
Looking up at a certain place, Yuan Quanquan's eyes suddenly widened.
There were originally four concubines in this room, plus the concubine and Concubine Qing, as well as her and Murong Zhen, and a few palace maids and eunuchs who were waiting, there were originally fourteen people in the room, but the Yuan Circle found that it had now become fifteen people.
Next to the screen, I don't know when there was one more person.
No, not people, exactly.
I don't know when the extra figure stood on the edge of the screen, wearing a red palace skirt, gorgeous and bright, with a simple bun and a simple wooden hairpin, so that the gorgeous face was less flamboyant, more plain, and there was no other headdress in the hair.
She just stood quietly, and where her eyes fell, was ...... Qing Fei?
Yuan Quanquan couldn't help but be curious, and looked at the woman's line of sight, and found that she was indeed looking at Concubine Qing.
I can't help but wonder, who is this woman? Why did he look at Concubine Qing with such eyes, it seemed to be gratifying, and it seemed to be envious, and at the same time there was a touch of love.
The woman seemed to look at Concubine Qing for a while, looked away, and her eyes collided with the circle of the Yuan Circle, and she couldn't help but look stunned, very surprised, and then turned around sharply and disappeared in place in an instant.
Yuan Huanquan was stunned for a moment, quickly glanced at everyone in the room, and found that everyone's attention was on Concubine Qing, and no one noticed her, so he quietly retreated, and then walked in the direction of the screen.
There was nothing behind the screen, but the bead curtain next to the screen swayed gently, making a crisp sound when the beads collided.
Yuan Huanhuan turned his head to look, no one noticed her side at all, thought for a moment, and then gently opened the bead curtain and walked towards the side hall.
Just as she left the inner hall, Murong Zhen tilted his head slightly, casting a glance in the direction she left, his eyes slightly puzzled. He was silent for a while, then whispered something to Concubine Qing and went out.
Yuan Quanquan followed the strange feeling in his heart, and walked to the side hall, where the little prince was located.
A cradle was placed next to the bed in the house, and the nurse was sitting on the side softly humming a song to lull the little prince to sleep, except for the gentle humming, only the faint sound of cicadas came from outside the house.
Yuan Quanquan stood at the door, and saw the slender red figure by the cradle, she was squatting on the edge of the cradle at this time, looking at the little prince who had fallen asleep with a smile, and the love on her face was as if she was the mother of the child.
The doubts in the heart of the Yuan Quanquan were even worse, and he guessed in his heart, isn't this female ghost going to be unfavorable to the little prince?
Looking at her dress, she looks like a concubine in this palace, could it be the concubine who lived in this Dawn Palace before? Why did she look at Concubine Qing with such a look just now, and now she looked at the little prince so lovingly, her behavior made Yuan Quanquan completely confused.
Just when she was puzzled, the female ghost in red stood up, turned her head to look at Yuan Quanhuan, and then actually smiled at her.
Yuan Quanquan was stunned again, and then, like Fang Cai, followed the direction she left out of the side hall, and finally stopped in a small room in the westernmost part of the Dawn Palace.
Pushing the door into the house, as soon as Yuan Huanhuan looked up, he saw a life-size painting scroll hanging in the middle of the room, painting a woman in red, with a gorgeous face, a slender posture, holding a red silk fan, beautiful eyes, clever smile, when a posture of alluring the country and the city.
In front of the painting, there was the female ghost that Yuan Quanquan had just seen, and at this time she had her back to the door, her hair hanging down to her ankles, and she was quietly looking at the painting.
The sound of the circle entering the house made the female ghost turn around.
God, it's actually the person in the painting.
The female ghost standing in front of her is like the woman with the posture of a captivating city in the painting behind her.
Yuan Quanquan was surprised at the same time, but also very curious, who is she?
"You can really see me."
The Yuan Circle was still wondering, but the female ghost in red in front of her spoke first, and what she said was not a question sentence, but an affirmative sentence.
"It's amazing that there are still people in this world who can see me." The female ghost in red slowly approached the Yuan Circle, always with a smile on her face when she spoke, looking gentle and demure.
Yuan Quanhuan looked at the female ghost who had come closer, and once again compared her with the person on the scroll behind her, although she was not younger than the person in the painting, she was still beautiful and beautiful, and she couldn't help it for a long time, and asked, "Who are you?" ”
The female ghost in red laughed lightly, but explained her identity very simply: "I am the first emperor's favorite concubine, Concubine Chen, the biological mother of the current emperor." ”
This answer made Yuan Quanquan's eyes widen, Concubine Chen? The concubine of the first emperor? The emperor's biological mother?
She originally thought that this female ghost was at most the concubine of the current emperor, but she didn't expect that she was actually the mother of the emperor's concubine!
"You are the emperor's biological mother? But why ...... "Since she is the favorite concubine of the first emperor and the biological mother of the current saint, then she should be buried in the imperial mausoleum after her death, and her soul should have been reincarnated a long time ago, why is she still here after so many years?"
The questions in the heart of the Yuan Quanquan were all written on her face, and the female ghost Concubine Chen saw through it at a glance, and explained to her with a smile the reason why she had stayed here without going to reincarnation.
After listening, the Yuan Circle suddenly realized.
Concubine Chen is the most favored concubine of the first emperor, and has a son for the first emperor, who is the current emperor Beitangli. The first emperor favored Concubine Chen, and he was particularly fond of the son she gave birth to, not long after the eldest son was born, he was named the crown prince, and he personally taught, and the child was specially allowed to be raised by Concubine Chen's side, and the first thing that came to mind of all good things was the mother and son.
Although Concubine Chen is not the queen, she spoils the harem, enjoys the most beautiful love in the world, and has the favor and love of the most noble man, however, when Beitang was ten years old, a wandering warlock came to the palace, and calculated that His Royal Highness the Prince's future descendants are slightly blessed, even if they give birth to children, it is difficult to live long, or they can be mediocre, and it is difficult to take on great responsibilities. Unless there are loved ones by your side, it is possible to resolve it.
Concubine Chen valued this child more than her own life, and although she doubted the warlock's words, she did not dare to ignore them completely. Since then, she has been more careful and cared for until she became seriously ill and finally died. However, after her death, she found that she was able to continue to remain in the world and stay in the palace with her soul body. Concubine Chen, who loves her son like her life, even if she made up her mind, gave up reincarnation, and stayed in the palace to continue to protect her son, and this guard is more than 20 years.
The words of the warlock came true, Beitang was a seventeen-year-old concubine, and now the harem is full, but the heirs are thin, except for the prince Beitang Che born to the queen and the Yunhe princess Beitang Jing born to the late concubine, the other children were either aborted before birth, or died shortly after birth, looking forward to these ten years, and finally looked forward to a child again, and it was the woman he loved the most who was born to him.
Concubine Chen has always been guarding Beitangli's side, knowing his feelings for Concubine Qing, and what kind of person Concubine Qing is, she is also clear.
For the sake of her son and her grandson, since Concubine Qing was pregnant, she has stayed in this Dawn Palace, silently protecting their mother and son until the birth of the child yesterday.
Yuan Quanquan was moved by Concubine Chen's maternal love, her body was dead, but she stayed in the world because of the love in her heart, silently guarding it for more than 20 years, in this world, only maternal love can be so unrequited.
"Are you Xiu'er's princess?" After telling her story, Concubine Chen asked about the Yuan Circle, "Why can you see me?" ”
Concubine Chen was shocked and confused that the little girl in front of her, who didn't seem to have anything special, could actually see her.
Yuan Quanquan is not good at telling the other party her true identity, so she simply said that she had experienced an accident and woke up to see things that ordinary people could not see.
Concubine Chen didn't delve into it, was silent for a moment, and spoke again: "Can I ask you to help me do something?" ”
"Please."
"When I went to Wanfu Temple to find the high monk Master Fayi there, I asked for a peace charm from him, but I didn't have the opportunity to send the peace charm by hand. Could you please make a trip and take the peace charm for me and give it to the child? ”
Yuan Quanquan originally thought it was a big deal, but he just went to get a peace charm and gave it to the newborn little prince, without hesitation, and even responded very happily: "Wrap it on me!" ”
Concubine Chen looked grateful, and just wanted to say something of thanks, but she felt someone else approaching outside the door, and said to the Yuan Circle: "Someone is coming." ”
Yuan Quanquan turned to look at the door, listened intently, and sure enough, he heard a burst of footsteps that did not slow down.
She wasn't worried about being discovered, after all, others didn't have yin and yang eyes like her, and could see other creatures here besides her. But this place is the palace, and she is here to visit Concubine Qing and the little prince, if someone finds her here, she may misunderstand something, more things are better than less things, and you will save unnecessary trouble.
"I'll go out first." said goodbye to the female ghost concubine, and the Yuan Circle opened the door and wanted to go out to leave, but as soon as the door opened, he saw Murong Zhen walking towards this side.
Yuan Quanquan was stunned when he saw this, then closed the door, turned around, and ran away.
Murong Zhen, who just wanted to call her: "......"
