Abandoned Concubine's Promotion

Chapter 717 Thoughts
After all, Emperor Jing was not the roundworm in Concubine Rong Gui's stomach. If she didn't tell her what she was thinking, Emperor Jing would naturally not know.

Seeing Concubine Rong's not-so-good-looking face, Emperor Jing deliberately softened his voice, no matter what, Concubine Rong is taking care of his harem, they have known each other for many years, there is always some friendship.

It seemed that his words had frightened her after all, Emperor Jing spoke again, and comforted Concubine Rong, "You don't have to think too much, just say what you think."

"Your majesty, do you really not blame the concubine?" Concubine Rong still looked very badly, and Concubine Rong looked at Emperor Jing with a questioning look in her eyes.

"Seriously." Indeed, the imperial concubine is not allowed to engage in politics, Concubine Rong is at most manipulating the matter of becoming a queen, and Emperor Jing believes that Concubine Rong dare not do anything else.

She has been in the palace for many years, and the years she has been with her are not short. It is normal for her to have that idea.

Of course, Emperor Jing preferred Su Qingyan to be a queen, but she only wanted to be a concubine, not a queen, so Emperor Jing had no choice but to put away his thoughts for the time being.

Seeing Emperor Jing's serious expression, Concubine Rong felt a little more at ease. She took a deep breath, hesitated, and said again, "If you go back to the emperor, I think that the position of empress must belong to Concubine Chen."

If there were no previous incidents, Concubine Rong would be willing to recommend herself, after all, she wanted to be a queen.

But with the previous events, she had no choice but to speak out about Su Qingyan against her will, because she was worried, worried that Emperor Jing would know that her handwriting was behind the matter.

What Concubine Rong didn't know was that Emperor Jing already knew this, so he came to ask Concubine Rong.

If Concubine Rong was recommending herself and telling her own merits, Emperor Jing would think about it based on these. However, Concubine Rong mentioned Su Qingyan, which made Emperor Jing a little surprised.

"Concubine Gui means, do you think Concubine Chen is more suitable to be a queen?" Staring at Concubine Rong, Emperor Jing spoke again, Concubine Rong gritted her teeth, responding to Emperor Jing's question.

"If you go back to the emperor, the concubine really thinks that Concubine Chen is more suitable to be a queen than a concubine."

"In the former dynasty, Concubine Chen's mother's family had a prominent position. In the harem, favor and concubine Chen have always been inseparable. Furthermore, Concubine Chen is deeply favored by the emperor. In the emperor's heart, he should pay more attention to Concubine Chen. It is."

"Thirdly, Imperial Concubine Chen gave birth to the prince and princess for the emperor, and she is in good health. If Imperial Concubine Chen becomes the empress, the third prince will be a legitimate son. Such status as the crown prince will naturally be more prominent."

Except for Concubine Rong herself, no one knew how she felt when she said such words.

Emperor Jing looked at Concubine Rong, and after hearing what she had said, he couldn't help being silent for a moment, "The concubine just said that Concubine Chen's mother's family has a prominent position in the court, isn't the concubine's mother's family also the same?"

"Indeed, the status of concubine and concubine Chen's mother's family in the court is similar, but concubine is not blessed, and has not been able to give birth to a son and a half for the emperor for so many years, so I dare not think about that position. "

The matter of the child is the wound in Concubine Rong's heart. When it comes to the child, her tone is unavoidable.

"I see." After hearing Concubine Rong's words, Emperor Jing nodded, he stretched out his hand, and patted Concubine Rong's shoulder.

After lunch, Emperor Jing sat for a while, then left Yichun Palace and returned to the imperial study.

"Kang Ninghai, it is said that a woman has a needle in the bottom of the heart, I have seen it today." After returning to the imperial study, Emperor Jing sat at the table and said to Kang Ninghai who was standing next to him.

When Emperor Jing said this, Kang Ninghai looked confused with his head down. After all, when Emperor Jing was talking to Concubine Rong in the main hall, Kang Ninghai was not with Emperor Jing.

"Right now, the former court is talking about establishing a queen, Kang Ninghai, who do you think is more suitable to be a queen?" Kang Ninghai didn't answer, and Emperor Jing spoke again and continued to ask him.

"This... Your Majesty, slaves dare not talk nonsense about this matter." Hastily bowing to Emperor Jing, Kang Ninghai responded respectfully.

"It's okay, since I asked you, I forgive you for everything you say." Still looking at Kang Ninghai, Emperor Jing's words contained encouragement, Kang Ninghai hesitated, and finally expressed his thoughts .

"If you go back to the emperor, in the harem, the most qualified to sit in the back seat, besides Concubine Chen, is Concubine Rong. The emperor dotes on Concubine Chen, and the concubine is up to the mark and gave birth to the emperor. The third prince and the third princess, in your heart , definitely prefer Concubine Chen."

Looking at Emperor Jing's face, Kang Ninghai's words were full of caution. After all, he is an eunuch, and he is not qualified to talk about matters in the former court or in the harem.

"En, continue." Nodding his head, Emperor Jing signaled Kang Ninghai to continue, Kang Ninghai responded and spoke again.

"However, the imperial concubine has no intention of becoming a successor and only wants to be your favorite concubine. Under such circumstances, the emperor will naturally focus on Concubine Rong. Although the servant does not know what Concubine Rong said to you today, But the slave reckons that it has something to do with the later position."

"You slave, I asked you to express your own thoughts, but you are good enough to guess what I am thinking by beating around the bush." ​​Hearing what Kang Ninghai said, Emperor Jing frowned, and he stared at Kang Ninghai with displeasure on his face. Joy.

Emperor Jing was like this, but Kang Ninghai was terrified. He quickly knelt on the ground and kowtowed to Emperor Jing.

"The emperor forgives the sin, the emperor forgives the sin, the slave dare not try to figure out your thoughts, it is the slave who dare not talk nonsense!"

For Kang Ninghai, if he talks too much, no matter who becomes the queen in the future, he will feel uncomfortable if he knows that he has been involved in the affairs of the queen. A wise way to protect yourself.

"Get up." Seeing that Kang Ninghai was so frightened, Emperor Jing ordered Kang Ninghai to get up.

"Let's take a break for the time being, let me think about it carefully." Picking up the Zhu Zhu on the table, Emperor Jing continued to review the memorial. sweat.

…………

After Emperor Jing left, Concubine Rong sat on the soft bed, her face showed no expression, which made Hongxiu very worried.

"Niang Niang, what's wrong with you?" Hongxiu reckoned that Concubine Rong's behavior should have something to do with Emperor Jing, after all, after the emperor left, her master became like this.

"Hongxiu, you said that I am destined not to be a successor?" Hearing Hongxiu ask herself, Concubine Rong turned her head and looked at Hongxiu.

When she said this, Hong Xiu was very puzzled, "Your Majesty, why do you say that, in this harem, besides you, who else is qualified to be the queen?"
