Abandoned Concubine's Promotion

Chapter 96 Beside the Lotus Pond
Having had breakfast with Emperor Jing, Su Qingyan sent Emperor Jing to the gate of Tao Ranju, watched the dragon chariot go away, then got into the sedan chair and headed towards Qifeng Palace.

"The noble concubine just went home yesterday to visit her relatives, why did she come so early today?" In Qifeng Palace, looking at the somewhat bruised Concubine Rong, the queen asked with a smile.

"The concubine came back when she was a child, and she didn't come to thank the empress for fear of disturbing the queen's dream. When going to bed, she was afraid that she would wake up late and delay paying her respects to the empress, so she specially told the people in the palace to come early. Call the concubine."

Hearing the Queen's question, Concubine Rong smiled and spoke with a very respectful attitude. Seeing Concubine Rong like this, the Queen's eyes could not help but be surprised.

Having known Concubine Gui for many years, it was the first time she saw Concubine Rong with a respectful attitude.

"The noble concubine has a heart." She said with a smile, and the queen's eyes fell on the outside of the Jiaotai hall, "Speaking of which, in this harem, Chen Jieyu is probably the only one who can compare with the noble concubine Rong. Even if I go to bed late, I can come early the next day to pay my respects to the palace."

After the queen said so, Concubine Rong turned her head to look, and saw Chen Jieyu, who was mentioned by the queen, walking towards the hall.

Concubine Rong already knew about Chen Jieyu's sleeping last night, a coolness flashed in her eyes, and she immediately looked away.

Su Qingyan didn't know it, but she was inadvertently teased by the queen. She entered the palace and saluted the queen respectfully.

"The Empress just told me about Chen Jieyu, and now Chen Jieyu has arrived." Hearing that the Empress asked Su Qingyan to get up, Concubine Rong looked at her and said with a smile.

Concubine Rong knew that Chen Jieyu must have not heard what the queen said to her just now, so she smiled and told Su Qingyan what the queen had said to her just now.

The empress was sitting at the top, still with a smile on her face, she had already guessed what Concubine Rong would say to Chen Jieyu.

After listening to Concubine Rong, Su Qingyan couldn't help but sigh in her heart. She wished the Queen and Concubine Rong a blessing, and then said with a smile, "Thank you, Empress, for the compliment, but in the harem, there are more people with more heart than concubines. Besides, how can a concubine dare to compare with a noble concubine?"

"Chen Jieyu is always so self-effacing. Compared with me, you are not bad at all." After hearing Su Qingyan finished speaking, Concubine Rong said with a smile.

"Chen Jieyu is naturally good, otherwise, the emperor would not love you so much, please sit down." The queen above also smiled and said, she looked at Concubine Rong, then at Su Qingyan , a light flashed in his eyes.

Blessed again, Su Qingyan walked to her seat and sat down.

Greetings in the morning are no different from usual, it's nothing more than women coming and going, finally waiting for the Queen to speak, Su Qingyan stood up with all the concubines, saluted, and then retreated.

Looking at the empty hall, the queen turned to Yingluo, "What's going on with Qi Xiuyi?"

"Returning to your mother, Qi Xiuyi did plot against Chen Jieyu, but the method was not very clever, so if he didn't plot, he let himself suffer."

Hearing the queen's question, Yingluo spoke in a respectful tone, and replied to the queen.

"I thought she was smart, but I didn't expect it to be so. Is the child in her belly okay?" After Yingluo finished speaking, the queen frowned slightly.

"The child is fine, it's just that he smelled less musk. It's nothing serious. Besides, the fetus is stable now, and Qi Xiuyi's body is good. If it's not a major event, there shouldn't be any problems."

"That's good, that child can be used to pinch Qi Xiuyi in the future." Nodding, the queen stretched out her hand and rubbed the center of her brows, "Where is Concubine Shu?"

"Concubine Shu's Buddhist scriptures have already been copied. Previously, the servants thought that the Buddhist scriptures could be sent out when the Empress Dowager returns to the palace, but there has been no movement. It must be sent to Shoukang Palace in the past few days. I heard that Concubine Shu is still there. I have prepared a fine white jade Guanyin and intend to present it to the Empress Dowager."

After reporting all the information she had obtained to the queen, Yingluo looked at the queen and asked her opinion, "Ma'am, can you do something about the white jade Guanyin?"

"Since there are articles in the Buddhist scriptures, the White Jade Guanyin will naturally have to do some articles. It is best to make the Queen Mother think that there is a problem with the White Jade Guanyin because of the Buddhist scriptures."

After a moment of silence, the queen opened her mouth. Yingluo responded, helped the queen to get up, and walked towards the apse.

…………

After leaving Qifeng Palace, Su Qingyan seldom wanted to take a walk in the garden, but she knew that the imperial garden was always a place where concubines gathered, so she let the sedan chair walk along the path towards the small garden near Tao Ranju.

Although the small garden is not peaceful here, and she was punished here by the concubine Rou at that time, but no matter what, the small garden is much quieter than the imperial garden.

When they arrived at the small garden, Su Qingyan got off the sedan chair. She turned to look at Zitan, "If I remember correctly, there seems to be a lotus pond here?"

"If you go back to the master, there are indeed, and it's right in front." Zitan replied with a smile, knowing that his master still likes lotus very much.

After sending the sedan chair back to Tao Ranju, Su Qingyan followed Zitan and walked forward. Soon, the two came to the lotus pond.

The lotus in the pond was just in bloom, so Su Qingyan found a stone, put the handkerchief on it, and sat down.

"If you can get some snacks, fruits, etc., it would be great to enjoy the lotus here." Because it is close to the pond, it is extra cool, and it is not yet noon, so it is very comfortable to stay.

"If master likes it, come back tomorrow and bring some fruits and snacks by the way."

After hearing what Su Qingyan said, Zitan smiled and said, it is rare that the pond is so cool, and the lotus is so beautiful.

"Alright." Nodding, Su Qingyan looked at the lotus in the pond, "After a while, when the lotus pods grow, you can order someone to pick some lotus pods and go back to make lotus seed soup."

"When the time comes, master will do as you want." Zitan replied with a smile. When I was at home before, my master still liked to think about food, but after entering the palace, I don't have my own small kitchen, so I can only think about some food. .

Now that we have Jin Nanny, it is quite easy to make some food. As long as we say it, Jin Nanny will prepare it, which is much more convenient.

After sitting by the pond for a long time, Su Qingyan got up, and just turned around to leave, but saw Concubine Shu not far away, staring straight at her.

"Greetings to Concubine Shu." She was very surprised, but Su Qingyan still stepped forward and saluted Concubine Shu.

"Get up." Said lightly, Concubine Shu looked at Su Qingyan, a flash of resentment flashed in her eyes, but it was quickly covered by her, only Lu Yi was with her, other than that, there was no one else...

　Children are not big radishes, they will be there when they are planted, but don’t worry, they will be there when they should be, but let me tell you, it’s not far away, and the cute manuscript will be written at that time, to be honest, follow The current position of the heroine, pregnancy is not good, jumping too high all of a sudden is not a good thing, you have to take your time, don't be impatient, and one more, dear friends, don't forget that the heroine was poisoned before, but she is actually pregnant It may not be beneficial.
