Abandoned Concubine's Promotion

Chapter 724 Lunch
The actions of the eldest prince made Su Qingyan understand that her guess was not wrong, perhaps because she had not been in contact with outsiders all year round, the eldest prince would inevitably have some flaws in character.

Fortunately, the eldest prince is still young, and there is still a chance to correct him so that he can be like a normal child.

"Kang'er, don't be afraid. In a few days, Madam Chen will pick you up to live in Guanju Palace for a few days. You can visit your younger siblings, okay?"

Kneeling down, Su Qingyan kept herself at eye level with the First Prince, she slowed down her voice, and asked the First Prince for his opinion.

"Brothers and sisters?" After hearing Su Qingyan's words, the First Prince was puzzled. He didn't know that he had more brothers and sisters.

"Well, younger brothers and sisters, do you want to see them?" Nodding in response, Su Qingyan's voice became softer. She said this, making the First Prince hesitate for a moment before nodding.

As a prince, perhaps in the eyes of outsiders, he is very beautiful. After all, he is a child of the royal family, but only the eldest prince knows how helpless he is.

Because he is the prince and the master, the palace people treat him with care, after all he is not in good health, if there is any problem, the palace people will be severely punished.

He is already nine years old, but there is no one who can talk and play with him. Normally, he has no contact with other people except the teacher who teaches him. He wants a friend.

At his age, it was the most naughty and lively time, but for various reasons, he could only be bored in his own room.

It is because of this that his character has become what it is today.

Seeing the Eldest Prince nodding, the smile on Su Qingyan's face deepened. The Empress Dowager sat aside, looking at the expectation in the Eldest Prince's eyes, feeling a little sore in her heart.

After all, this motherless child is pitiful. Although she has tried her best to treat the eldest prince well these years, there are some things that her grandmother can't give.

The Empress Dowager very much hoped that after the First Prince went to Guanju Palace, he could feel maternal love from Imperial Concubine Chen.

It wasn't until this time that the Empress Dowager finally understood why the emperor wanted Concubine Chen to be the empress, not only because the emperor liked Concubine Chen, but also because of Concubine Chen's temperament, she was very suitable to be a queen.

In the past, Xiao was the empress. Although she seemed tolerant and generous, she was actually a narrow-minded and jealous person. Because of this, there were only such a few children in the harem.

Not only that, but the fights among the concubines also continued, making the harem a mess. Now that Mrs. Xiao is gone, the harem is much more stable.

After all, after staying in the harem for many years, the Empress Dowager thinks that she has a good sense of people.

Although Concubine Rong's mother's family was quite safe in the previous dynasty, and Concubine Rong managed the harem fairly well, but in fact, Concubine Rong is an ambitious person.

Right now, Concubine Rong looks pretty good, but there is no guarantee that she will become a queen, and after getting that right, she will not become the same as Xiao Shi.

After making an agreement with the First Prince, Su Qingyan stretched out her hand and touched the First Prince's head. She could tell that the First Prince wanted to avoid it, but resisted herself.

This appearance made Su Qingyan feel even more distressed.

"If the imperial concubine is fine, why don't you stay in Shoukang Palace for dinner at noon?" The queen mother deliberately wanted Baili Kangduo to get close to Su Qingyan, so she asked her to stay in Shoukang Palace for dinner.

"If that's the case, then bother the Queen Mother." She responded with a smile, and Su Qingyan naturally understood what the Queen Mother meant. She gave Zitan an order, and Zitan responded, and after saluting, she stepped back first.

Since it was agreed to pick up the First Prince in three days, then without wasting time, send someone back to clean up the house now.

Zitan left, Su Qingyan stayed in the Shoukang Palace, the eldest prince was given a seat, he lowered his head, played with his fingers, and listened to the Empress Dowager talking to Su Qingyan.

Occasionally, Su Qingyan would ask him a few words, and he would answer them honestly, but refused to say anything else.

It was the same with the First Prince during lunch, he always lowered his head, and only ate the food in front of him, which was a little further away, even if he wanted to eat, he would not pick it up with his chopsticks.

Seeing him like this, Su Qingyan looked towards the Queen Mother, and seeing the helplessness on her face, she knew that the First Prince had always been like this.

Stretching out her hand, Su Qingyan picked some food for the eldest prince. She smiled and said in a very gentle voice, "If Kang'er wants to eat something, just eat it. If you can't reach it, just tell Madam Chen, Niang Niang will hold you, now is the time for you to grow your body, you need to eat more to grow taller and stronger."

Such words were what Su Qingyan often heard her mother say to her elder brother when she was a child.

When I was young, my brother and sister were naughty and often didn't eat well, but my brother wanted to be a general since he was a child, so my mother would often use growing tall and strong to encourage my brother to eat.

After hearing Su Qingyan finished speaking, the First Prince raised his head and looked at her with some anxiety. Seeing her smiling and encouraging face, he picked up the chopsticks and picked up the dish he wanted to eat.

After the pinching was finished, the First Prince thought about it and pinched some for the Queen Mother and Su Qingyan, which surprised the Queen Mother very much.

Having raised the eldest prince for many years, his temperament has always been timid and timid. The queen mother wanted to change him, but she didn't know where to start. In addition to his poor health, the queen mother didn't want him to have any burdens, so she just followed him. up.

It was because of his timidity that when Emperor Jing came to Shoukang Palace, nine out of ten times he was not seen.

Therefore, even if Emperor Jing wanted to develop a relationship with the First Prince, he was helpless at all.

After lunch, Su Qingyan obtained the Queen Mother's consent, and accompanied the First Prince back to the room. Looking at the somewhat dark room, she couldn't help but reached out and touched the First Prince's head.

It has been five years since Su Qingyan entered the palace. She had only heard of the eldest prince before, but never met him. Su Qingyan didn't know if the eldest prince had experienced anything before, but looking at the furnishings in his room, Su Qing Yan understood that it would take a certain amount of time for him to recover like a normal child.

Su Qingyan didn't know if she could change the First Prince, but she thought that if she tried her best, she could gradually influence the First Prince. Perhaps one day, he would become like a normal child. This was her wish .

"Is Kang'er going to take a nap?" Looking away, Su Qingyan looked at Baili Kang and asked with concern. The eldest prince thought for a while, then nodded.

Accompanying the eldest prince into the inner room, Su Qingyan personally helped him take off his coat and shoes, watched him lying on the bed, covered him with the quilt, and sat beside him.

Thinking of the nursery rhymes she hummed casually when she coaxed Sheng'er and Bao'er to sleep in the past few days, Su Qingyan stretched out her hand, patted the eldest prince, and hummed softly.

Originally, the eldest prince opened his eyes, looked at Su Qingyan, and heard the soft nursery rhyme, and sleepiness swept over him. He closed his eyes, and fell into a deep sleep after a while...
