Abandoned Concubine's Promotion

Chapter 644 Something Weird

"Get up." Although she regretted it in her heart, Concubine Rong's face did not show at all. She looked at Li Zheng and beckoned her to get up.

After thanking her, Li Zheng stood up, "The daughter of the people came out of the side hall with Princess An, and saw Hongxiu kneeling outside the hall. I don't know what wrong sister Hongxiu did? To make the empress so angry?"

"Have you had lunch? How is your lunch today?" Without answering Li Zheng's question, Concubine Rong smiled and asked Li Zheng.

"Returning to the empress, today's lunch was very good. Princess An ate a lot, and the girl is planning to take Princess An for a walk to digest the food." Responding to Concubine Rong's words, Li Zheng's attitude was respectful.

"Then go." Nodding her head, Concubine Rong responded with a smile.

"Imperial Concubine, can you sell the face to the Minnv and forgive Hongxiu, why don't you let her take Princess An and the Minnv out for a walk?" Li Zheng begged for Concubine Rong to bless her body.

"That's all, then for your sake, forgive her, you go out for a walk."

The Mid-Autumn Festival has passed, and the weather is much cooler than before. Even if you go out at noon, you don't have to worry about getting too hot and suffering from heat stroke.

"Yes." Responding quickly, Li Zheng retreated to the outside of the hall.

When she walked out of the main hall, Princess An was beside Hong Xiu. Li Zheng stepped forward and called Hong Xiu to stand up.

"I have already begged my mother, she asked you to get up, and take the princess and me out for a walk."

Hearing what Li Zheng said, Hongxiu stood up, glanced into the main hall, and couldn't help sighing.

"Let's go." Stretching out his hand to hold the red sleeve, Li Zheng held Princess An's hand with the other hand, and walked towards the outside of Yichun Palace.

"Sister Hongxiu, are you okay?" After walking out of Yichun Palace, Li Zheng looked at Hongxiu and asked her with concern.

Hongxiu hadn't knelt for a long time, and her knee didn't feel pain. She just didn't understand why her master suddenly changed his appearance?

"I'm fine, thank you for pleading for me." Hearing Li Zheng's voice, Hongxiu came back to her senses, she looked at Li Zheng, and shook her head at her.

"I usually bother my sister to take care of me. I'm just helping to say something. Why should my sister be so polite?"

Hongxiu is older than Li Zheng, and there are still many opportunities for the two of them to get in touch with each other, but once they come and go, their relationship gets better.

"It's just a little effort." Smiling, Hongxiu tried not to think about those annoying things. She looked at Li Zheng and asked again, "How was your lunch today?"

"Today's lunch is delicious, I like it very much." Hearing Hongxiu's question, Princess Ann smiled and answered Hongxiu's question.

"Well, today's lunch is really good. The soup is very good. The princess and I both drank two bowls."

After Princess An finished speaking, Li Zheng also spoke with a smile. When the two said this, the smile on Hong Xiu's face deepened.

After wandering outside Yichun Palace for a while, the three of them returned to Yichun Palace. Princess An wanted to take a nap, so Li Zheng took her to the side hall and coaxed her to take a nap.

Princess An's favorite is Li Zheng's bedtime stories, so every noon, when she takes a nap, Li Zheng will be by her side.

As Princess An's female teacher, Li Zheng could make her like her more, so she was naturally willing.

Hongxiu returned to the main hall, and the lunch on the table had been removed, leaving only an empty brocade box and a two-layer food box on the table.

"Are you back?" Seeing Hongxiu walking into the hall, Concubine Rong spoke first and greeted Hongxiu.

"If you go back to the empress, the servant girl is back." After taking a few steps forward, Hongxiu saluted Concubine Rong.

"Well, take the food box on the table, there is some food in it, you just went for a walk with the princess, haven't you had lunch yet?"

In response, Concubine Rong stretched out her hand, pointed to the food box on the table, and said to Hong Xiu, she said so, which made Hong Xiu's eyes turn red immediately.

She has been by Concubine Rong's side for many years. From a very young age, she has served her master by her side. Over the years, she seldom dissatisfied the master, let alone knelt down as punishment.

Today's punishment to kneel down was beyond Hong Xiu's expectation, and she felt wronged in her heart.

However, because of Concubine Rong's words, the grievance in her heart immediately dissipated.

"Okay, it's my fault. I shouldn't be angry with you. In fact, I don't know what's wrong with me. Why did I suddenly get angry?"

Seeing Hongxiu's red eye circles, Concubine Rong opened her mouth and explained to Hongxiu.

"By the way, there is still an empty box on the table, what was in it?" Pointing to the empty box on the table, Concubine Rong asked Hongxiu.

"When I was having dinner just now, I saw a set of tableware on the table, which seemed to have been touched by someone. Did the emperor come? Why can't I remember?"

After talking about the empty brocade box, Concubine Rong remembered something else, but she didn't notice, because of her words, Hong Xiu's brows were tightly frowned.

"Niang Niang, don't you remember?" He opened his mouth tentatively, this time, Hong Xiu didn't dare to say the word Xing Concubine.

"Remember what?" Hearing Hongxiu ask herself, Concubine Rong looked at her suspiciously.

"Niang Niang, do you still remember what you arranged for today?" Seeing the confusion on his master's face, Hongxiu asked again.

"Today's arrangement, I will naturally remember. In the morning, I looked at the account book. At noon... at noon, I seem to be looking for someone for lunch. Who is it?"

Just now she had a face full of confidence, but after she said a few words, Concubine Rong was a little stuck. She thought about it carefully, but she couldn't remember who she asked for lunch at noon.

Seeing the confusion on her master's face, Hongxiu was secretly startled, she bit her lip, and said again, "Mother, do you still remember what you ordered your slaves these days?"

"Instructions for the past few days? It's the same as usual! Keep an eye on the movement in the harem, always pay attention to the people in Yichun Palace, and then watch Concubine Dian Xian."

After thinking about it carefully, Concubine Rong answered, and Hongxiu noticed that her master mentioned Concubine Xian, but did not mention Concubine Xing.

"Please forgive my sin, my servant will take the crime of disrespect, and ask my mother another question."

Taking a deep breath, Hongxiu saluted Concubine Rong, and said in a respectful tone.

"Well, tell me, what's the matter?" Nodding, Concubine Rong looked at Hong Xiu, waiting for her to speak.

"Your Majesty, do you still remember that you asked your servant to investigate Concubine Xing's affairs before? Also, this morning, you once ordered your servant to go to Xingyun Pavilion and let her come to eat at noon. remember?"

With Concubine Rong's permission, Hongxiu looked at her and tentatively said, she noticed that when she mentioned the word Xing Concubine, her master immediately frowned.

With such an appearance, Hong Xiu had a vague guess in his heart, that is, Concubine Xing must have done something to her master!
