She hurriedly said, "It's Mrs. Ning-Qin."
"Qin... Ruolan..."
Mentioning this woman again made Zhu Feng a little confused for a while.
Xinqing said softly: "Of course, that happened many years ago. After half a year, the concubine was assigned to serve by the emperor's side, and has been up to now."
"..."
Zhu Feng looked at her, speechless for a while.
He found that it was really hard for people to notice Xinqing, a woman, because she really didn't have any sense of existence. Even if she asked about the events of the year, her words were all about others, and she seldom mentioned herself.
In the harem, such a woman does not compete or grab, has no background, no extraordinary talent and appearance, it is indeed difficult to attract people's attention.
However, it is precisely because of this that she feels very comfortable.
Just like a gentle relative.
After all, a person has experienced too much scrambling and scheming in this life, and even he will feel tired, but by Xinqing's side, there is no need to use his brain or be wary of calculations, it is indeed a place for people to rest.
It's no wonder that my former self would come to her every month no matter how busy he was.
Now, even though I only talked to her like this once, I feel so relaxed and can completely trust her.
Zhu Feng looked at her for a while and said, "Would you like some tea?"
"ah?"
After talking so much, Xinqing was indeed a little thirsty, but she was also a little surprised that the emperor would be so considerate.
What frightened her even more was that Zhu Feng went to pour a cup of tea.
Xin Qing was so frightened that she almost fell off the bed, she hurriedly held the teacup in both hands: "Your Majesty, how can a concubine be able to afford to be a concubine like this?"
Zhu Feng said softly: "You are sick, so don't talk about it."
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
A warm feeling welled up in Xinqing's heart, and the corners of her eyes were slightly red.
She held the teacup and took a sip. It was obviously just ordinary tea, but when she drank it, it turned out to be sweet.
Zhu Feng looked at her for a while, then said, "Then, how much do you know about the noble concubine?"
"ah?"
This time, Xinqing was stunned again.
She raised her head to look at Zhu Feng in surprise, but saw a faint glint in Zhu Feng's eyes, and said in a deep voice, "What kind of person is she?"
"..."
Xin Qing hesitated for a while, then said softly: "Your Majesty, haven't you already heard about it from the empress and the others? Moreover, this time, when King Ning rebelled, it was the imperial concubine who accompanied the emperor back from Changqing City."
Zhu Feng said: "However, I haven't figured out some things about her yet."
"..."
"I also know that some of them are unwilling to tell me; some of them have ulterior motives to tell me something."
Xinqing was taken aback by his words, and hurriedly said: "The emperor calms down, the empress and the others are not disloyal to the emperor, they are just, just—"
Seeing her like this, Zhu Feng's tone became calmer, and he said, "I know that they have other considerations, but because of this, there are very few people I can fully trust."
"..."
"I believe in you, and I want to hear from you."
"..."
This time, Xinqing also hesitated a little.
Although she does not fight or snatch in the palace, but because she has been with Zhu Feng for the longest time, her status is considered special. There are many things that even the queen may not dare to say. Into any right and wrong.
She just wanted to stay in the harem quietly, meeting the emperor once a month and being with him was enough.
Now, it was Zhu Feng who came to ask.
Seeing Xinqing showing a hesitant and hesitant expression, Zhu Feng said again: "When I was in Changqing City, Qin Ruolan and the people around her told me that the imperial concubine openly admitted that she had an affair with other men, and Princess Lian Xinping, Nor is it my own flesh and blood."
Xin Qing frowned.
He murmured, "How could they say that?"
Zhu Feng said: "Are these things true?"
"..."
Xinqing hesitated for a moment, looked at Zhu Feng, and said softly: "Your Majesty, the noble concubine—she has indeed admitted this matter herself."
Zhu Feng's breath suddenly sank.
"So it's true?"
"..."
Xinqing said softly: "Your Majesty, I seldom interact with people in the palace, and I almost never ask about state affairs or other people's affairs. I only know that the situation was complicated at the time. During the period when the concubine was pregnant, she was never around It is within the territory of Yan Kingdom, so there is room for people to speculate and doubt."
"Guess? Doubt?" Zhu Feng said, "Hearing what you said, you seem to think that this is not true."
"Your majesty, I really don't know the truth, so no matter what, I can't give the emperor a clear answer. If I say it casually, I will be deceiving the emperor."
"..."
"However, I trust the emperor."
"You, believe me?"
"Yes, my concubine has always believed in the emperor, and in the eyes of the emperor."
"..."
"The noble concubine's character, I believe that the emperor has already understood it after getting along with her during this period. At the beginning, the noble concubine was originally the chosen servant of Emperor Wen, but because she offended the emperor, she was kept by the emperor's side and became a Shangbao female official. She is a slave, but she has been serving the emperor with all her heart. So later, even though she knew that she had the blood of the royal family of the country, the emperor still resisted all opinions and made her a noble concubine."
"She—is she of Chinese descent?"
"The reason for this matter, maybe the truth is not something I can know. It's just that I believe in the emperor's eyesight. The emperor has always been clean, and the person who can make the emperor fall in love with him will definitely not be a vulgar fan." , let alone a woman with bad conduct."
Zhu Feng looked at her quietly for a while, and said with a half-smile, "Maybe, yes."
Xinqing's face was a little red.
Zhu Feng sighed, and then said: "Okay, I've been troubling you for so long, you should take a good rest."
After speaking, he reached out and patted the back of her hand, then got up and prepared to leave.
Just when he was about to turn around and walk out, Xinqing frowned, as if thinking twice, but said cautiously: "Your Majesty, I have one more thing that I want to tell the Emperor."
"oh?"
Zhu Feng stopped and looked back at her: "What's the matter?"
Xinqing hesitated again and again, and said: "The weather is really cold these days, Mrs. Qin's side—the emperor should send some more charcoal over there."
"...!"
Zhu Feng frowned.
He didn't know what happened at first, but after hearing Xinqing's words, he immediately understood.
Xin Qing hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, I don't have any other intentions, I just feel that she is a bit pitiful."
"..."
Zhu Feng looked at her silently for a while, and said, "You don't have to worry."
"yes."
