In Yichun Palace, Emperor Qingde retreated from the annoying palace people, but he was talking to Concubine Chun and talking to him.

"Take good care of your baby and give birth to a fat boy for me next year." Embracing Concubine Chun, Emperor Qingde lowered his head and kissed her hair.

Concubine Chun shook her head and touched her stomach and said, "It's better to have a daughter, so worry-free."

Emperor Qingde's eyes changed slightly.

Empress Chen and the prince's guard against Concubine Chun had long seen it, but his concubine not only did not rely on her favor, but instead wanted to give birth to a daughter and avoid it.

I have no love for Empress Chen, but I love and hate for Concubine Chun, so I meet too late.

"I have me in everything, you don't have to worry about anything." Emperor Qingde promised quietly.

Concubine Chun didn't want to tell whether there was any deep meaning hidden in the emperor's words. She raised her head and looked at Emperor Qingde's face, which was gradually looking old but still graceful and majestic. Concubine Chun bit her lips gently, and wanted to speak but stopped.

Emperor Qingde smiled and asked, "What's wrong?"

Concubine Chun looked very embarrassed: "Emperor, if I commit the crime of deceiving the monarch, will you punish me?"

Emperor Qingde thought for a moment and said seriously: "You talk first."

Upon hearing this, Concubine Chun immediately retracted into the emperor's arms and said tricked: "Then I won't say it!"

The young beauty was so beautiful that Emperor Qingde loved her all the time and pinched the earlobe of Concubine Chun. He smiled and said, "Tell me, even if you deceive the king, I will not punish you."

Concubine Chun smiled and turned over and knelt up. She held Emperor Qingde's big hand with a cunning expression: "Emperor, I actually fainted on purpose just now. Do you know why?"

Emperor Qingde was slightly stunned and subconsciously looked at his beloved concubine's belly.

Concubine Chun immediately blocked her stomach and laughed: "It's not because of this. If you hadn't invited the imperial physician, I wouldn't know I was pregnant."

Emperor Qingde was confused: "Then why are you dizzy?"

Concubine Chun stopped talking, Danfeng looked at the emperor for a long time before she said with ignorance: "Because, because my brother likes the seventh girl of the Shen family, he finally had the idea of ​​getting married at the age of time, and I can't bear to let my little sister-in-law marry into the East Palace."

Emperor Qingde was shocked. Li Zhi liked Chen Qingqing?

"Your Majesty, you promised not to punish me, and you are not allowed to regret it." Concubine Chun shook the emperor's hand with little confidence.

Emperor Qingde came back to his senses, and looked at the pitiful little appearance of Concubine Chun, Emperor Qingde smiled and said, "I am not punished, I just unexpectedly, how could your brother fall in love with Qingqing? Qingqing came back from Suzhou, right?"

Concubine Chun breathed a sigh of relief and explained with a smile: "Calculate carefully, it's still the red line you have led. Didn't you ask my brother to capture Cao Xiong before? When my brother learned that Cao Xiong was hiding in Xiaoquan Temple in Cangzhou, he rushed over without stopping. It happened that Master Chen and his family returned to Beijing and were resting in Koiquan Temple when they encountered heavy rain on the road. After his brother appeared, Cao Xiong arrested the seventh girl as a hostage in desperation, so my brother became a hero who saved the beauty."

Emperor Qingde suddenly realized, and when he thought about Chen Qingqing's beautiful face, it was normal for Li Zhi to be moved.

Concubine Chun continued: "Brother likes Seven Girls, but we and the Shen family... I was afraid that the Shen family would not agree, so my brother was reluctant to propose marriage. Unexpectedly, Seven Girls caught up with you to show the prince when they came back? Emperor, you know my brother's temper. You don't fight or fight, but I am his sister. I have been worried about his marriage over the years. Now I have finally seen hope. I, I would rather be punished by you than watch my brother's sweetheart fly."

Emperor Qingde patted his beloved concubine's little hand and expressed his understanding. However, thinking that he had agreed to Queen Chen to order Chen Qingqing to be the prince's concubine, Emperor Qingde said strangely: "Since you have this idea, the queen of the last choice should be Chen Qingqing, why didn't you mention it to me?"

Concubine Chun hesitated for a moment and told the truth: "Last morning, my sister said that the princess and one concubine had not yet decided on the candidate. I just learned that she had fallen in love with Miss Seven. After all, this is to choose a concubine for the prince, so I can't chase after her sister and ask."

Emperor Qingde understood that he could also guess why Empress Chen wanted to hide Concubine Chun. Empress Chen guessed correctly. Concubine Chun could indeed control his thoughts, but Concubine Chun was thinking about his sister-in-law, and she was not the daughter of the Duke who Empress Chen longed to protect the country.

"Don't worry, Qingqing won't enter the East Palace." Emperor Qingde gave a guarantee and then said: "But if you can give a marriage, I must also ask Chen Qu's meaning first."

If Chen Qu did not want to marry Li Zhi, he, the emperor, could not force a cabinet elder to marry his granddaughter casually.

Concubine Chun hurriedly said, "It should be, if the Shen family is unwilling, the emperor must not let down Ge Lao Chen's heart because of our brother and sister."

Emperor Qingde nodded with a smile.

Back at Zhenghe Hall, Emperor Qingde ordered people to come to Xuanchen Canal.

The cabinet was close to it and the sinking canal arrived soon.

Emperor Qingde first talked with Chen Qu about the government affairs. After the main affairs, Emperor Qingde smiled and said, "Recently, the imperial concubine and the queen were hosting the talent show. Seeing that Qingqing was beautiful and dignified, the imperial concubine intended to marry the seventh girl for the Marquis of Pingxi. I ask me to tell you what Yuan Qing wanted?"

Chen Qu's mood is quite complicated.

The emperor clearly responded to his daughter Dian Qingqing as the prince's concubine, but now he has the potential to be a foolish emperor because of the words of Concubine Chun. Whether as the queen's father or the elder of the court, Chen Qu was not happy. However, Chen Qu was still a grandfather. Considering from the granddaughter, Concubine Chun could convince Emperor Qingde to change his mind, and Chen Qu was very pleased.

"The Marquis of Pingxi is a pillar of the court. Qingqing was so arrogant that her parents were so arrogant that she was really not worthy of the Marquis." Chen Qu said humbly, thinking that if his granddaughter could be defeated, it would be best if the prince and Li Zhi were not married.

Emperor Qingde looked at the Shenqu opposite, but had another thought.

Chen Qu didn't want to get married to Li Zhi, was he trying to help the queen and prince?

To be honest, Emperor Qingde didn't know whether Concubine Chun could give birth to a prince. He was even more worried that the crown prince would take revenge on the imperial concubine in a hundred years. But at present, he only had three sons, one was disabled and the other was young, and only the crown prince could pass on the throne, because it was impossible for the imperial concubine to depose the crown prince. If it could prompt the Shen family and the Li family to marry each other, even if the crown prince wanted to deal with the imperial concubine's brother and sister after ascending the throne, the Shen family would plead for the sake of their daughter.

Thinking of this, Emperor Qingde smiled and said, "Yuan Qing was worried too much. In fact, the Marquis of Pingxi had long been concerned about Qingqing. The two of them were handsome and beautiful, and they had a fate of heroes to save beauty. This is a match made by heaven. Do you think?"

Chen Qu had already agreed to marry his granddaughter to Li Zhi. He heard the intention of Emperor Qingde's matchmaking, and he followed suit: "If the marquis is a talented person, it would be a blessing for the marquis to marry the marquis to be his wife."

Emperor Qingde was very satisfied and said loudly: "Since that's the case, I will give you marriages to your two families in the draft tomorrow."

Chen Qu smiled bitterly in his heart and could only thank him.

Chen Qingqing had no idea what was happening in the palace.

Shortly after Concubine Chun fainted, the unselected women were taken back to Chuxiu Palace by the teacher's nanny. On the way back, Chen Qingqing felt that many people were watching her, especially the fifth sister Shen Jiarong's eyes made her look like a shiny. Chen Qingqing thought happily in pain that the title of a concubine made the fifth sister so jealous. If Zhou Ya, who had been called the crown princess, was still there, would the fifth sister pounce on her and bit her to death?

After secretly mocking her, she returned to her hut. Chen Qingqing could no longer maintain her calm face and sat on the chair.

The prince's concubine and the prince's aunt actually asked her to enter the East Palace.

After the previous Huang Ying's birthday ceremony, Chen Qingqing knew that Queen Chen didn't like her. Today's arrangement was clearly to punish her. I think Queen Chen knew the prince very well and knew that her niece would not want to enter the Eastern Palace as a concubine.

What should I do now?

Chen Qingqing was very anxious. If possible, she really wanted to rush out of Chuxiu Palace to find her grandfather and beg her grandfather to teach her good daughter a lesson.

Unfortunately, the teaching nannies were very strict with the show girls, and even if Chen Qingqing wanted to use money to deal with others, she would not accept it.

Chen Qingqing was very worried, so worried that she didn't sleep all night.

During breakfast the next day, Shen Jiayi secretly said to Chen Qingqing: "Seventh Sister, look, the fifth sister's eyes are almost growing on you."

Chen Qingqing didn't look at it, she had no appetite, and she couldn't eat it even more when she saw Shen Jiarong.

Shen Jia said that her cousin was listless. She suddenly realized something and asked in a low voice: "Don't you want to?"

In terms of status, the prince's concubine is definitely not as good as the prince's concubine, but the concubine is also very noble. As long as you don't make mistakes, the prince will be able to be a concubine immediately after the prince ascends to the throne in the future. Shen Jiayi knew that her cousin didn't like the prince like her, but she didn't expect her cousin to be so resistant. After all, many ladies can't even be a concubine.

Chen Qingqing said nothing.

The teacher's nanny looked over here, and Shen Jiayi shrank his neck and swallowed all his words back.

As soon as the hour came, the teaching nanny took the carefully dressed showies to the central palace again.

In the back hall of the central palace, Empress Chen was secretly worried about the chair that Emperor Qingde had sat on yesterday. The showies had been waiting outside for two quarters of an hour. Why haven’t the two arrived yet? Could it be that Concubine Chun still wanted to disrupt this talent show?

Just as she thought so, a little eunuch from the front hall hurried over: "Empress, the emperor has just come to Zhenghe Hall and has already settled in the front hall. Please come over."

Queen Chen quickly stood up and arrived at the front hall. When she saw Emperor Qingde had indeed arrived, the seat on her right was empty.

"Emperor, where is the concubine's sister?" Queen Chen asked with a smile.

Emperor Qingde said lightly: "She is pregnant, so it's not appropriate to work hard anymore. I'm very busy today, let's start."

After saying that, Emperor Qingde looked straight at the show girls.

Shen Jiarong and Chen Qingqing were both standing in the first row.

Empress Chen was preparing to praise Chen Qingqing as yesterday, but Emperor Qingde said first: "Jiarong is pure and elegant like a chrysanthemum, and has a bit of the queen's character, so choose her as the prince's concubine."

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone was shocked!

Shen Jiarong was overjoyed! She wanted to be the crown princess most, but the title of crown princess fell behind. Shen Jiarong settled down and changed to thinking about her concubine. Last night, the queen wanted to choose Chen Qingqing. Shen Jiarong was so stung that she almost suffocated to death for a night. Unexpectedly, today the turn of things happened, Emperor Qingde ordered her personally!

Shen Jiarong was about to laugh out loud in ecstasy.

Chen Qingqing likes her more! If the fifth sister becomes the prince's concubine, then if Queen Chen wants to mess with her, she will never choose two nieces in her parents' family.

As for Queen Chen, she was quite surprised. She thought that Concubine Chun would make a slander and change her candidate for the Crown Princess, but the one who changed it was Chen Qingqing.

"Empress, what do you think?" Emperor Qingde asked as he looked at Empress Chen.

Queen Chen smiled sincerely: "I think Jiarong is good, too."

In this way, Queen Chen slapped herself in the face in front of all the beautiful girls, but who made the emperor the real decision?

After the Crown Princess, the two concubines, and the two noble concubines were selected, the talent show was over.

It was not until this moment that Chen Qingqing was completely relieved and only had doubts about Emperor Qingde changing his words.

Because of doubt, Chen Qingqing secretly looked at Emperor Qingde, but Emperor Qingde also looked at her!

When Shen Qingqing was hesitating whether to immediately bow her head to avoid it or smile at her uncle, Emperor Qingde smiled at her first, and her smile was very mysterious.

Chen Qingqing:...

What exactly happened?

Emperor Qingde did not confuse the little girl for too long. Before Chen Qingqing could speak to Chen before she could speak to Chen.

Except for the three brothers Chen Qu and Chen Tingwen who were working outside, the Shen family knelt in the front yard to receive the order.
