Abandoned Concubine's Promotion

Chapter 36 The Empress
"Report to the emperor, the empress is here." Kang Ninghai walked in from outside the hall, saw Emperor Jing was reading with his head down, and lowered his voice to report back.

"Please come in, Queen." Putting down the book in his hand, Emperor Jing ordered.

In response, Kang Ninghai backed out, and not long after, he followed behind the queen and re-entered the palace.

"Greetings to the emperor." Facing Emperor Jing's blessing, the queen's tone was gentle, Emperor Jing stretched out his hand to help her up, and pulled her to sit on the soft couch together.

"How come the empress has time to come?" Normally, the empress rarely comes to Longgan Palace, but when she came suddenly today, Emperor Jing naturally wanted to ask.

"Duanyang Festival is coming, and the concubine is not in good health, so I handed over the Duanyang Palace Banquet to Concubine Rong this morning. Although it is a matter of the harem, I still think that I should tell the emperor." The queen smiled. Opened his mouth and answered Emperor Jing's question.

"Well, that's fine too. Your body is weak, and it's really not suitable for you to work too hard. I'll leave it to Concubine Rong." After hearing what the queen said, Emperor Jing nodded.

"Concubine Rong is a good one. Let her take care of it, and my concubine is very relieved." Seeing Emperor Jing nodding, the queen smiled and said, "This year's Concubine Rong's birthday, my concubine thinks that the emperor will be promoted to the position of Concubine Rong."

"Her current status is already very high. What's more, being given a title is regarded as a flattery. Above the noble concubine is the imperial concubine, who is the same as the vice queen. You know the family background of Rong Guifei. High, it is inevitable that people will have some other thoughts."

Although Emperor Jing spoke with a smile, Empress Xiao still heard something else.

After all, they were young couples with the queen, and when Emperor Jing was still the prince, Empress Xiao had already married him, so Empress Xiao believed that she knew about Emperor Jing.

For so many years, although the two can't be like ordinary couples, they still have some feelings after all.

Emperor Jing can tell her some things. Of course, sometimes, Emperor Jing's words are also a reminder to Empress Xiao.

Concubine Rong's mother's family is one of the best in the imperial court, and Empress Xiao's mother's family is naturally the same. Emperor Jing said that if Concubine Rong's status is too high, it will make the Shen family have some thoughts that they shouldn't have.

But according to the identity of Empress Xiao, although the Xiao family can't think of anything they shouldn't have, it's hard to guarantee that they won't do something they shouldn't do because of Empress Xiao's identity, or forget their identity.

"The emperor likes to read travel notes recently?" Thinking about Emperor Jing's words several times in her heart, Empress Xiao couldn't help but secretly wake up, she understood that this topic is not suitable to continue, so she changed the subject with a smile.

Empress Xiao changed the topic, Emperor Jing understood, and she already understood the meaning of what he said.

Focusing on the travel notes, Emperor Jing couldn't help but think of the owner of the book. He smiled and said in a softer voice, "I just have nothing to do, just take a look at it casually."

Empress Xiao naturally felt the change in Emperor Jing's words. She looked at the travel notes on the small table and wanted to pick it up to have a look, but she was worried that her purpose was too obvious and that Emperor Jing would notice.

"Speaking of the Duanyang Festival, I remember that Su Jieyu's birthday is around the Duanyang Festival, right?" Just as the Queen was thinking about the travel notes, Emperor Jing's voice sounded again, and in just a split second, Queen Xiao guessed that The owner of this travelogue.

She did not expect that the travel diary belonged to Su Jieyu, let alone that Su Jieyu's birthday was actually remembered by the emperor.

There are so many women in the harem, but few of them can be remembered by the emperor on their birthdays. It seems that this Su Jieyu is really quite sacred.

"Yes, Concubine Rong also asked this morning that Su Jieyu's birthday is just after the Duanyang Festival." Although there was an indescribable feeling in her heart, Empress Xiao still answered Emperor Jing's question with a smile.

"Well, it's a good day." After hearing what the queen said, Emperor Jing nodded.

"The concubine has already told Su Jieyu that when she is born, a few tables will be set up in the Qifeng Palace for her to celebrate her birthday."

Since the emperor took the initiative to mention Su Jieyu's birthday, as a queen, she naturally had to show tolerance.

"Well, that's fine, but everything is still in accordance with the regulations. After all, it's just Jieyu, so don't go too far, so as not to make other people dissatisfied." Tightening the Queen's hand, Emperor Jing gave orders.

Empress Xiao responded with a smile, knowing in her heart that Su Jieyu's birthday should not be her promotion.

After keeping Empress Xiao for dinner at Longgan Palace, Emperor Jing let Empress Xiao leave. After Empress Xiao left for a while, the eunuch from the respect room came.

Thinking of the person whom Empress Xiao had mentioned before, Emperor Jing stretched out his hand and flipped over Tao Ranju's signboard.

…………

Knowing that the emperor turned over her brand again, Su Qingyan felt a little complicated.

On the one hand, she didn't want Emperor Jing to turn over her brand and cause more trouble for herself, but on the other hand, she knew that only when the emperor frequently flipped her brand could her status continue to rise.

Sighing secretly in her heart, Su Qingyan ordered someone to prepare hot water. After all, the emperor was coming, and she always had to tidy up.

When Emperor Jing came to Tao Ranju, Su Qingyan was leaning on the soft couch to read a book, because the palace servants did not report, so Su Qingyan did not know that Emperor Jing had actually entered the house.

Feeling that someone in front of her was staring at her, Su Qingyan raised her head, and when she saw Emperor Jing standing in front of the soft couch, Su Qingyan let go of her hand in fright, and the book fell to the ground.

"I'm not a scourge, how could I be so frightened?" Seeing Su Qingyan like this, Emperor Jing showed a trace of helplessness on his face.

"Your Majesty... my concubine pays my respects to my majesty, my majesty forgives my sins, my concubine didn't know you were here..." Quickly got up from the soft couch, Su Qingyan apologized and saluted Emperor Jing, but she didn't squat down yet, He was helped up by Emperor Jing.

"It's okay, it's because I didn't let the palace people report it, but I scared you." Pulling Su Qingyan to sit down, Emperor Jing bent down and picked up the book that fell on the floor, "Is this sent by someone on my order?"

"Yes." Su Qingyan replied in a low voice, sitting beside Emperor Jing, thinking that Emperor Jing came in quietly, she couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat.

It seems that I have to pay more attention in the future, not only that, but also let everyone in Tao Ranju pay attention, so as not to say something that shouldn't be heard by the emperor who came suddenly.

"What did you see? What do you think of this book?" Seeing that Su Qingyan was still a little reserved, Emperor Jing casually opened the book and asked her.

"I just watched it not long ago, and I found it very interesting, so I was a little fascinated by it." If it wasn't for this, she wouldn't have failed to notice that Emperor Jing had entered the house.

Hearing what Su Qingyan said, Emperor Jing smiled and said, "I haven't read this book. When you finish reading it, why don't you tell me about it."

　Meng went to see the injury. Fortunately, it was not as scary as Meng thought. It was just a dull pain in the wound. The doctor said it was inflamed, let him recuperate, and then pay attention to diet and do not touch the water, so Meng can continue to double change.
