Chapter 282 Qingyin Palace

Qingyin Hall, as its name suggests, it is quiet and has no sound.

After the head of the dark pavilion left, His Majesty the Emperor stayed alone in the imperial study for an hour. After that, he called Chen Hai and asked lightly: "How is Feng Zhaoyi doing lately?"

Chen Hai replied: "I didn't hear anything."

It was very common for concubines to gain or fall out of favor in the palace. As an old man serving the emperor, Chen Hai knew what to do when. If the emperor did not take the initiative to mention a certain concubine, he would never remind him without permission. .

But instead of reminding you, what you can’t do is add insult to injury.

"I'm going to see her." The emperor's voice was calm, "After all, there is still some affection between husband and wife."

Chen Hai thumped, his eyebrows lowered even lower.

The environment in the Qingyin Palace was certainly not as good as the previous palace when she was a concubine, and everything was bleak and shabby. However, the life of Feng Zhaoyi and her daughter was obviously not bad - at least much better than the emperor imagined.

There was no announcement and no pomp. The emperor only took Chen Hai and two guards with him, and walked all the way through the corridor and the courtyard to Qingyin Hall.

As soon as I stepped into the peeling palace gate, there was an angry rebuke inside: "What kind of dish is this? There's no oil or water at all! What I want is honey chicken! Honey chicken, don't you understand?"

His Majesty the Emperor's steps were just like this.

Chen Hai quickly bowed and pressed down the tray he was holding.

"My dear, please forgive me, but there is no honey chicken in the imperial dining room today——"

"I don't believe it! You just deprived me of my food on purpose! Do you think that since I have been demoted, you can step on me and run wild?"

"I don't dare, I don't dare! I don't dare!"

"Concubine, there is no need to be angry." The sixth princess, Chu Yiling, spoke in a lively voice. Her voice was clearly that of a young girl, but it made people feel creepy. "Isn't it just a honey chicken? When the concubine recovers, Chong, not to mention one honey chicken, even if it’s a hundred or a thousand, the concubine can still eat it. As for this little bitch... when the time comes, just pull it out and kill it, so as not to upset the concubine.”

The little palace maid was so frightened that she cried instantly: "My queen, please spare my life! Your Highness, please spare my life!"

His Majesty the Emperor stood in the palace garden without saying a word, with an extremely calm expression on his face, not showing a trace of emotion.

Chen Hai shouted at the right time: "The Emperor has arrived——"

The cry of the little maid in the palace stopped suddenly.

Then there was a burst of panicked footsteps, and the sound of bodies bumping into tables and chairs in excitement and haste. Feng Zhaoyi and Chu Yiling hurried out of the palace. When they saw the emperor standing outside, surprise flashed on their faces. He kowtowed quickly: "See you, Your Majesty! Long live Your Majesty!"

"See you, Father! Long live Father! Long live Father!"

As for the little palace maid, she turned around and lay on the ground, not daring to make a sound.

The emperor walked very slowly, approaching Feng Zhaoyi and Chu Yiling step by step, his eyes fell on the two of them, and he looked at them silently.

Although they had been imprisoned in the Qingyin Hall for some time, the mother and daughter were obviously treated well, and the clothes they wore were not shabby - of course, the emperor had no intention of arguing with them about this.

When Feng Zhaoyi was still Concubine Feng, she had a lot of clothes, and he didn't strictly prohibit her from wearing them. As long as they weren't the concubine's grade robes, she could still wear other everyday clothes.

It goes without saying that Chu Yiling is a princess.

But these are not the point.

People in the palace have always been accustomed to flattering the superior and suppressing the inferior. It stands to reason that even if the emperor turns a blind eye, the down-and-out mother and daughter will not be able to live a happy life-unless someone protects them.

The emperor didn't speak for a while, stepped into the palace door, and began to look at the furnishings of the mother and daughter's bedroom.

The hall was so quiet that you could hear a needle drop, depressing and solemn.

Feng Zhaoyi and her daughter looked at each other quietly, and saw an undetectable surprise in each other's eyes. The emperor must have not seen the mother and daughter for a long time, and he thought deeply about them and felt pity for them.

Maybe today the mother's status will be restored and they can go back to live in Yongfu Palace.

"You are living a good life." The emperor sat down at the dining table and looked at the fresh dishes on the table, "Four dishes and one soup, two meat and two vegetables and a delicious fish soup... It makes me hungry. "

After he finished speaking, he raised his hand and waved to Chen Hai, "Just in time, I also asked Chen Hai to bring wine and food. You, mother and daughter, come over and eat with me."

Feng Zhaoyi quickly pulled her daughter to stand up, carefully thanked her, and then sat down next to the emperor.

"I haven't seen the emperor for some time..." Tears came at the drop of a hat. Feng Zhaoyi's eyes quickly turned red and her voice was choked with sobs. "During this period of living here, I have deeply reflected on myself. I didn't do well enough in the past and let the emperor down many times. In the future, I will cultivate my character and keep my integrity, and I will never make the emperor angry again. Can the emperor...can you forgive me for Yi Ling's sake? …”

By the end of the story, I was crying, feeling extremely aggrieved and sad.

The emperor turned to look at Chu Yiling and said calmly: "Is Yi Ling feeling better?"

Chu Yiling had just sat down, and after hearing the words, he stood up and knelt down again, with a humble and submissive look: "Reporting to my father, I was not sensible before, and made my father sad many times, so that besides taking care of state affairs, my father also had to I am worried about my body. I am ashamed of myself for not being my father's daughter, and I hope my father will punish me severely."

Her attitude was very sincere, and she looked sincerely remorseful. Any father would feel soft-hearted after seeing her - if he had not heard what the mother and daughter said outside the palace just now, he might really believe their repentance.

"Get up." The emperor said in a light voice, and ordered: "Chen Hai, take everyone out."

Chen Hai put all the wine and food on the table, bowed and said goodbye: "Yes."

There were actually not many people in Qingyin Hall. When Chu Yiling was not well before, the imperial physician would often come to see her. During this period, there were only two young palace maids who took turns to serve meals and take care of Feng Zhaoyi and her daughter's three meals a day and send laundry.

Although there were few people, their life was not hard and shabby.

At least not as hard and shabby as imagined.

As soon as the three of them left, the hall became even more deserted, leaving only the emperor and Zhaoyi and her daughter.

"I haven't had a meal with you and your daughter for a long time." The emperor looked at Feng Zhaoyi and said softly, "Pour me a glass of wine."
