Abandoned Concubine's Promotion

Chapter 761 Decision
After leaving Guanju Palace, Qi Zhaoyi's complexion has not been very good-looking. Although it was expected to be rejected, she still felt a little uncomfortable in her heart.

She knew in her heart that she shouldn't blame Concubine Chen, even if this matter was a matter of one sentence for her, it was her duty not to help herself.

"Master, are you alright?" came the voice of the little maid, and Qi Zhaoyi leaned on the sedan chair without saying a word.

…………

Concubine Rong quickly learned about Qi Zhaoyi's visit to Guanju Palace. She put down the brush in her hand, and a smile appeared on Concubine Rong's face.

"What are you laughing at?" Hongxiu stood beside her, saw the smile on her face, and couldn't help asking.

"I'm laughing at Qi Zhaoyi. I know the result, but I still want to try." Walking around from behind the desk, Concubine Rong said with a smile.

"Your Majesty's meaning... Qi Zhaoyi has long thought that Imperial Concubine Chen would refuse her request?" Surprise flashed in his eyes, and Hongxiu spoke again.

"Qi Zhaoyi is a smart person, and imperial concubine Chen is not stupid. The emperor gave me three days before. During this period, there will be no conclusion about the matter of the second prince."

"The emperor loves Concubine Chen so much, he will definitely not hide his thoughts from her, so Concubine Chen will never get involved in this matter, even if Qi Zhaoyi goes, it will be useless."

Sitting on the imperial concubine chair, Concubine Rong looked at Hong Xiu, talking about her own analysis, after listening to her, Hong Xiu finally understood.

"Your Majesty, do you think Qi Zhaoyi will resent Imperial Concubine Chen because of this matter?"

"This matter, I can't say for sure. People's hearts are the most difficult thing to guess in this world. It is said that women's hearts, sea needles, and Qi Zhaoyi's thoughts are naturally even more difficult to guess."

Hearing Hongxiu's question, Concubine Rong replied with a smile, "By the way, is there a letter from home? Brother is in the northwest border, is everything all right?"

In a blink of an eye, Shen Hao had left the capital for a while, and Concubine Rong knew why her brother left the capital.

Concubine Rong would know something about the affairs in the court, but she didn't dare to inquire too deeply. After all, the harem is not allowed to interfere in politics, so she is very uncertain about the current situation in the northwest.

"Your Majesty, don't worry, the second master is auspicious, and he will definitely win a big victory like before." Seeing the worry on the master's face, Hongxiu began to persuade, Concubine Rong nodded, got up and walked out of the hall.

After the smallpox incident, Li Zheng re-entered the palace to teach Princess An, and the second prince was attached to Princess An, so when Li Zheng was teaching, he sat beside him, very well-behaved.

Arriving outside the side hall, Concubine Rong Gui looked into the side hall. At this moment, the second prince was leaning on Princess An's body, his little head moving.

Princess An sat on the chair and listened carefully to Li Zheng's explanation. From time to time, she would turn her head to look at the second prince and reach out to help him so that he would not fall down.

Seeing the two siblings like this, Concubine Rong felt more and more that her choice was correct, and the latter position was indeed good, but such a scene touched her heart far more than the latter position.

As if she felt something, taking advantage of Li Zheng's pause, Princess An turned her head and looked towards the entrance of the hall. Seeing Concubine Rong standing at the entrance of the hall, a sweet smile appeared on her face immediately.

Princess An's behavior made Concubine Rong's heart softer and softer.

…………

In the northwest frontier pass, the war is about to break out, and the army of Wei State is approaching the city, and there is a possibility of attacking at any time.

"General Qi, everything has been properly arranged, please rest assured, General." In the general's mansion, Shen Hao was looking at the topographical map, preparing to use the familiar terrain of the border to give Wei's army a blow.

"Got it, Yan Xu, come and see." Reaching out his hand to greet Yan Xu, Shen Hao pointed to a place on the topographic map and told him his plan.

"The general's method is very good. When shall we do it? At the end, the general is willing to lead his troops to make up for the mistakes."

Yan Xu has been brooding over the previous incident, but now that he finally has the opportunity, he is naturally willing to make amends for the past.

"Let's choose tonight. We'll go pick out capable soldiers in person later." Hearing Yan Xu's question, Shen Hao smiled slightly, and told him, Yan Xu responded quickly, with excitement flashing in his eyes.

…………

At the same time, Su Qinghan was leading the army to clean up the battlefield, and in the battle with Xidi, Xidi retreated steadily.

"General, if this continues, it won't be long before we can take Sidi."

Su Qinghan is handsome, brave and resourceful. When he was about to arrive in Xidi, he directly ordered to surround the border of Xidi to prevent anyone from escaping and to report to other places.

Su Qinghan's strategy was successful. Until the Xidi border was breached, no one could escape to report the news. It was because of this that some towns in the back could be breached very quickly. If this continues, they will soon reach Xidi Kyoto.

"Take Xidi as soon as possible, so that we can return to Xing'an earlier." With a flash in his eyes, Su Qinghan ordered people to recruit lieutenants to discuss the next plan of attacking the enemy.

…………

"Your Majesty, the Emperor is here." Inside Yichun Palace, Concubine Rong Gui was looking at the account book. Outside the palace, Gao Yuan's voice came.

At this time, Concubine Rong was not surprised, because she knew why the emperor came to Yichun Palace.

Earlier, the emperor gave her three days to make a choice. Yesterday, it was the hundred-day banquet for the third prince and the third princess. After the hundred-day banquet, the three days had come.

"My concubine greets the emperor, and the emperor is safe." At the gate of the hall, Concubine Rong blessed herself and saluted Emperor Jing.

Greeting Concubine Rong to get up, Emperor Jing walked towards the soft couch together with her, Hongxiu withdrew from the hall, and prepared refreshments for Emperor Jing.

"Your concubine should know why I came here, right?" Looking at Concubine Rong, Emperor Jing directly asked without beating around the bush.

"If you go back to the emperor, I will know." Nodding her head, Concubine Rong Gui responded.

"Since that's the case, what is the noble concubine's decision?" Seeing Concubine Rong nodding, Emperor Jing spoke again, his eyes fell on Concubine Rong's face.

"Back to the emperor, I choose the second prince, although...Although I have thought about the second prince, compared with the second prince, I think the second prince is more important."

"During the time in Yichun Palace, the second prince has gradually accepted his concubine, and more importantly, he gets along well with An'er."

"When An'er first came to Yichun Palace, the situation was not very good, but now, the emperor has also seen that An'er is fine, so the concubine has information to make the second prince as good as An'er."

"The emperor, please hand over the second prince to my concubine to raise him." Standing up, Concubine Rong knelt on the ground and begged Emperor Jing. She had no idea in her heart, she didn't know whether the emperor would agree to her or not.

"Get up, I can hand over the second prince to you, but... it won't be recorded in your name, so, are you still willing to raise the second prince?"
