Abandoned Concubine's Promotion

Chapter 75 Floating
When Su Qingyan arrived at Qifeng Palace, many concubines had already arrived, and Emperor Jing had to go to court early, so he left for the time being.

"Chen Jieyu is here too?" Seeing Su Qingyan, Concubine Rong said lightly, Su Qingyan blessed her, and then stood aside respectfully.

Not long after, Yingluo came out of the hall, saw many concubines standing outside, and blessed everyone, "Greetings to all the masters, the empress has taken the medicine and is sleeping at this time, please also masters Come back first."

Yingluo is the maid of honor next to the queen, since she said so, she must represent the meaning of the queen.

"Since that's the case, the sisters are going to leave first, and I ask the empress to take care of the phoenix's body." Concubine Rong Gui opened her mouth, and she blessed the body in the hall, then supported Hongxiu's hand, and turned to Qifeng Walk outside the palace.

Concubine Rong was gone, and the others would naturally not stay. They rushed towards the blessings in the palace, and then each supported the hand of the maid beside them, and walked towards the outside of Qifeng Palace.

"Master, shall we go back to Tao Ranju?" Zitan whispered, asking Su Qingyan who had walked outside Qifeng Palace.

"Well, go back to Tao Ranju." Nodding, Su Qingyan responded, this time is not suitable for walking around, so returning to Tao Ranju is the safest.

Not to mention that she just went to bed yesterday, but now that the empress is still ill, she can't do anything superfluous.

After all the high-ranking concubines left, Su Qingyan supported Zitan's hand into the sedan chair, and headed back towards Tao Ranju.

"Are you all gone?" Seeing Yingluo coming in from the outer room, the queen who was leaning on the bed asked her.

"If you want to go back to your mother, I will go away." Yingluo responded, and came to the queen, "My mother is not feeling well, can I sleep after drinking the medicine? This way I can recover quickly."

"Ben Gong can't sleep, but at this juncture, Ben Gong has suffered from an old illness. Seeing that the Queen Mother is coming back, looking at Ben Gong like this, I'm afraid I don't like it even more."

Sighing, the queen stretched out her hand and rubbed between her brows. Thinking of the queen mother's dissatisfaction with her, the queen felt a headache.

"Your Majesty, don't think too much, so that your body will recover quickly. Doesn't it mean that the Empress Dowager will not come back until three days later? During these three days, Your Majesty's body will definitely recover."

Yingluo has been with the Queen for many years, so she naturally knew that the Queen Mother didn't like the Queen, so she smiled and spoke to comfort the Queen.

"I hope so." Sighing, the queen's face was full of tiredness.

Seeing her like this, Yingluo stretched out her hand to support her, "Your Majesty, go to sleep."

Hearing what Yingluo said, the queen nodded, let Yingluo support her to lie down, covered her with a blanket, and then closed her eyes.

"How is the queen?" After the morning court, Emperor Jing asked Kang Ninghai who was following him, and walked towards the imperial study.

The northwest side has just been pacified, and there are still many things to deal with. Right now, he is also at a loss.

"If you go back to the emperor, the empress has taken the medicine and has fallen asleep now." Kang Ninghai said quickly, he could hear that Emperor Jing was not in a good mood at this time.

"Ask Xia Shi to show the empress. The empress is ill during this period, so you should be alert and don't make any trouble." After a pause, Emperor Jing ordered Kang Ninghai, and then walked towards the imperial study again. .

"Yes, I understand." The queen is the lord of the six palaces, in charge of everything in the harem. At this time, the queen is sick, so she must not have the energy to take care of the affairs in the palace.

Taking advantage of this time, it is inevitable that some palace people will have some crooked thoughts, so Emperor Jing asked Kang Ninghai, the chief executive, to be more vigilant.

When he accompanied Emperor Jing to the imperial study, Kang Ninghai ordered someone to go to the Imperial Hospital to invite Xia Shi, while he made tea for Emperor Jing himself, and stood quietly in the imperial study, waiting for Emperor Jing to summon him at any time.

"Don't just stand here, there are still three days before the Queen Mother will return to the palace. You can go to Shoukang Palace and see how it is being cleaned up there? If there is anything wrong, send someone to take care of it."

After reading the two memorials, Emperor Jing opened his mouth to order Kang Ninghai, and Kang Ninghai responded, saluted and withdrew.

"Your Majesty, I heard that the Empress Dowager will be back in three days." In Zhaochun Palace, Lu Yi entered the palace with a happy face, and said back to Concubine Shu.

"The queen mother is back... What does the queen mother's return have to do with me?" At this time, Concubine Shu was listless, and when she thought of her daughter leaving her side, her heart felt as if being cut by a knife.

"Your Majesty, why did you forget? The Empress Dowager dislikes the most. If you can please the Empress Dowager, Princess An may not have to move to Changle Palace!"

Hearing what Lvyi said, Concubine Shu thought about it carefully, and immediately regained her spirits. She looked up at Lvyi with a hint of joy on her face.

"Yes, yes, the Empress Dowager dislikes empresses the most. If I can please the Empress Dowager, I might be able to ask the Empress Dowager to prevent Princess An from leaving my palace."

"However, how should I win the Empress Dowager's favor?" Concubine Shu frowned slightly, looking at Lu Yi, hoping she could give her an idea.

"Your Majesty, the Empress Dowager believes in Buddhism. This servant remembers that there is a white jade Guanyin of excellent quality in your storeroom. When the Empress Dowager returns, you will send that white jade Guanyin to the Empress Dowager."

"If you are not afraid of hard work, you'd better copy some Buddhist scriptures by hand and give them to the Queen Mother and her elderly. I think the Queen Mother will definitely look at you differently."

Seeing Concubine Shu looking at her, Luyi told Concubine Shu everything she knew and the solution she had come up with. After listening to Concubine Shu, Concubine Shu's brows stretched, and a smile appeared on her face.

"You girl, if you are determined, I will do as you say. However, the queen mother will be back in three days. You can find a Buddhist scripture that is easy to copy for this palace. It is best to finish copying it in three days. In case this palace won’t be able to produce anything.”

"Yes, empress, don't worry." Responding, Luyi bowed to Concubine Shu, "I will go find Buddhist scriptures that are easy to transcribe for empress now."

"En." Nodding her head, Concubine Shu watched Lv Yi recede outwards, and finally felt much more at ease in her heart.

…………

"I heard that the Empress Dowager is coming back soon. The Empress is sick at this time. It's really time to fall ill." Back in Yichun Palace, Concubine Rong sat on the imperial concubine chair and said with a smile.

"Your Majesty, now that the Empress is ill, this is your chance." Hong Xiu stood aside, fanning Concubine Rong, she smiled and said to Concubine Rong.

"How do you say that?" Raising her eyebrows, Concubine Rong looked at Hongxiu.

"Your Majesty, now that the Empress Dowager is ill, she will definitely not be able to take care of the affairs of the harem. Now that the Empress Dowager is coming back, at this juncture, what if something happens..."

"In this palace, apart from the empress, you are the one with the highest status. Maybe you can think of a way to let the emperor hand over the right to assist the sixth palace to your hands..."
