Abandoned Concubine's Promotion

Chapter 290
"Master, just now the red sleeve from Yichun Palace came." Jin Nanny was talking to Zitan when Zisu came in from outside the hall and said back to Su Qingyan.

Hearing Zisu's voice, Su Qingyan finally came back to her senses. She looked at Zisu and motioned for her to tell the story in detail.

"Master, this is the Ice Muscle Jade Dew Ointment that Concubine Rong Gui asked Hongxiu to send. She said that you are asking for your help to make amends to Princess Jinyu and forgive General Shen for his reckless behavior." On the small table next to Su Qingyan, Zisu explained the matter of Hongxiu's arrival carefully.

"I see." After listening to Hongxiu, Su Qingyan nodded. She had thought about going to Concubine Rong with a gift when she came back, but now it seems that there is no need.

From the looks of it, Concubine Rong also wanted to make the big things smaller, so she was naturally willing to cooperate, besides, she had already done things well in advance.

"Zisu, go prepare a generous gift and send it to Yongchun Palace." Reciprocity is a matter of courtesy, since she is willing to cooperate with Concubine Rong, she naturally has to show some sincerity, and sending the gift back is the first to show her attitude.

After receiving the order, Zisu responded, she knew exactly what gift to give to Concubine Rong Gui.

After Zi Su left, Su Qingyan put away the Bingji Yulu Ointment. After pondering for a while, she got up and went to the desk to write a letter to her mother, Su Wangshi.

After the letter was written, Su Qingyan asked Zitan to call Xiao Fuzi in, then handed the written letter to him, and ordered him to entrust someone to deliver the letter to her mother.

Xiao Fuzi put away the letter, saluted, and withdrew.

In Yichun Palace, Concubine Rong immediately smiled when she received Su Qingyan's gift in return. This is the benefit of cooperating with smart people. No need to say anything, the other party will understand what she means.

Instructing Hongxiu to give Zisu a reward, and then asking Hongxiu to send Zisu out in person, Concubine Rong leaned on the chaise longue, feeling much more relaxed.

"Your Majesty, I sent you away." After sending Zisu away, Hongxiu returned to the palace and reported to Concubine Rong Gui.

"En, I got it." Nodding her head, Concubine Rong stood up and walked towards the desk. Since she had agreed with Chen Zhaoyi, she should send a letter to the family to let them know.

After the letter was finished, Concubine Rong handed the letter to Gao Yuan, then she yawned and was going to take a nap in the inner room.

Hong Xiu followed behind her and waited for her to lie down before retreating.

Yongchun Palace.

"The situation of Ran'er, how is the inquiry going?" Ever since she saw Ran'er in Jingyue Xuan last time, Concubine Xian ordered Linglong to find out about Ran'er.

"Returning to your mother, the servant has carefully checked Ran'er's details. In addition to his parents and brothers, Ran'er's family also has a grandmother who is very old and in poor health. Now the whole family relies on her. I live on the little money I send back occasionally."

Speaking of Ran'er, Linglong's words inevitably showed a little more sympathy, and Concubine Xian couldn't help narrowing her eyes slightly after hearing this.

"Have you met her before? How do you feel?" Concubine Xian and Linglong both saw Ran'er's situation in Jingyuexuan. Last time in Jingyuexuan, Concubine Xian helped Ran'er out of the siege.

"Returning to Empress, I have been in touch with her, because the empress ordered someone to send her to Jin Jieyu, so Jin Jieyu treated her very badly, even if Ran'er showed her kindness again and again, Jin Jieyu still didn't appreciate it at all."

After quitting Jingyuexuan that day, Linglong found an opportunity to get in touch with Ran'er, and seeing her body was bruised and purple from the beating, Linglong felt very sympathetic to her.

"That Jin Jieyu is not what she appears on the surface. I reckon that she is not an easy-going lamp. It's just that she didn't get a suitable opportunity."

After listening to Linglong, Concubine Xian nodded, and then she spoke again, "You continue to find opportunities to get in touch with Ran'er, if you have the opportunity to help her out, then help her, maybe you can use her in the future."

Linglong was asked to investigate Ran'er and get in touch with Ran'er because Concubine Xian felt that Ran'er might be useful.

But it doesn't take much effort to get in touch with it. It is better to cultivate it early than not to use it when it is used.

"Yes." After listening to Concubine Xian's words, Linglong hurriedly responded, Concubine Xian thought about it, and gave a few more instructions before letting Linglong back down.

In the early dynasty, Emperor Jing asked Kang Ninghai to read out the imperial decree, and announced the disposition of Shen Hao in the court hall.

After the imperial decree was read out, everyone's eyes immediately fell on Shen Chengzhong. Because Shen Hao was recuperating at home, he asked for leave and never went to court.

"Thank you, Majesty Long En, on behalf of the dog." After hearing the edict, Shen Chengzhong immediately knelt on the ground and saluted Emperor Jing.

Yesterday, he had already received a letter from his daughter and asked his son's opinion. Unexpectedly, this time Shen Hao didn't say anything, and nodded in agreement.

Not only that, but the second son, Shen Hao, also asked him to prepare some things and send them to the princess mansion, which made Shen Chengzhong surprised, but also a little relieved.

Although his son was beaten, Shen Chengzhong was not angry. He felt that his son was a bit erratic now, and someone needed to remind him.

Although the kid from the Su family was a bit harsher, it was justifiable. What's more, Su Zhiyuan often helped him speak, even if he was asked to pursue it, he would not be ashamed to pursue it.

Now, the emperor's decision has been made, and the decision is reasonable, Shen Chengzhong naturally accepts the imperial edict verbally.

Seeing that Shen Chengzhong was so knowledgeable, Emperor Jing nodded secretly in his heart. He glanced at Xiao Peng, and saw that there was no smile on Xiao Peng's face.

Originally, Xiao Peng wanted to take advantage of this incident to suppress the Shen family, but he didn't expect the emperor to make a decision so quickly, and the Shen family didn't have any opinion, so they accepted the imperial decree, which made him want to find fault. No reason to find fault.

Wait... It's not that there is no reason at all. In the court hall, the Shen family and the Su family seem to have the same nostrils. Taking this opportunity, maybe we can provoke them.

Thinking of this, Xiao Peng looked at Shen Chengzhong, smiled and said, "As expected of Mr. Right, my son was so beaten that he couldn't go to court, yet he was still so calm."

Hearing Xiao Peng's words, not only Shen Chengzhong, but even Su Zhiyuan looked at him. After all, Xiao Peng's purpose was too obvious.

"Prince is indeed a magnanimous person, unlike you, Mr. Zuoxiang. If you want to envy, go ahead and envy. Speaking of which, this time I am really ashamed. Master Su, I apologize to you on behalf of Quanzi. "

After glaring at Xiao Peng, Shen Chengzhong looked at Su Zhiyuan, and bowed to Su Zhiyuan. Su Zhiyuan was slightly surprised by his behavior, but quickly recovered, and bowed to Shen Chengzhong.

"Master Right Prime Minister is really polite. The next official will also replace Quan Zi. I will apologize to Lord Right Prime Minister. Please forgive Quan Zi's recklessness..."
