Abandoned Concubine's Promotion

Chapter 422 The Uninvited Guest

Usually there is nothing to do in the palace, and the only thing that can pass the time is to listen to the little maid reciting Buddhist scriptures, or let the palace people from Shanglefang come to play the piano and sing songs, so as to pass the time.

Recently, Shanglefang prepared some juggling, which looked very lively, and the Queen Mother also liked it very much, so she often asked the palace people of Shanglefang to come to Shoukang Palace to perform.

When Emperor Jing came to Shoukang Palace for dinner, the Empress Dowager also mentioned that Su Qingyan also knew something about this matter from Kang Ninghai.

At noon, the palace people brought up the lunch, and the palace people from Shanglefang also came to the Shoukang Palace. The Queen Mother greeted Su Qingyan and Princess Jinyu, while eating, while looking at Shanglefang's Palace performance.

As the Queen Mother said, juggling looks really interesting. Su Qingyan thought that if she was bored in the palace in the future, she could often ask the people from Shanglefang to perform for herself in Guanju Palace to pass the time for herself.

"Chen Guifei, what do you think?" Seeing that Su Qingyan was staring intently and even forgot to eat, the Empress Dowager asked Su Qingyan with a smile.

"If you go back to the queen mother, I will see that this juggler is very good. If you are bored in the palace in the future, you can let them go and help the concubine pass the time." Turning her head, Su Qingyan looked at the queen mother and replied with a smile.

"Well, Ai's family thinks the same way. If it's hot today, you're working hard with your body in your arms, and you walk around frequently, and you're afraid of catching the heat. Why don't you watch juggling in the palace, so that the time will pass faster."

After hearing what Su Qingyan said, the queen mother nodded, that's what she thought, that's why she mentioned this matter to Emperor Jing before.

"The queen mother is so considerate of my concubine, I am really grateful." With a smile, she picked up her favorite dish for the queen mother, and Su Qingyan's words were full of emotion.

After lunch, the juggling performance was almost done. The queen mother asked Nanny Lu to give a reward, and let the palace servants of Shanglefang retreat.

After chatting with the Queen Mother for a while in Shoukang Palace, Su Qingyan and Princess Jinyu left. She knew that the Queen Mother had the habit of taking a nap.

"It's noon now, and it's hot. Princess Jinyu rests in Guanju Palace before leaving?" Su Qingyan looked at Princess Jinyu as she was heading back to Shoukang Palace in a sedan chair, and asked her Opinion.

"Everything is according to the arrangement of the empress." Nodding with a smile, Jin Yu complied. It is indeed hot at the moment, and now she is going out of the palace and returning home, and it is easy to suffer from heat stroke.

All the way back to Guanju Palace, Su Qingyan asked Zitan to arrange Princess Jinyu in the side hall, and then asked Zixuan to wait on her. She was also used to taking a nap, so after changing her clothes, she went to the inner room to rest.

"General, it's almost here." The guard who was beside Su Qinghan opened his mouth and said back to him as he was driving fast, and when he was about to reach the southwest border.

"En, let's take a break." Nodding his head, Su Qinghan pulled the rein and stopped the horse. He turned over and dismounted, moving his body.

"Looking all the way, it seems to be fairly peaceful, presumably the southwest border, there is nothing serious." If something really happened, there would be clues along the way, but seeing that everything was safe, the guard spoke again, talking to Su Qinghan.

"Whether it's a problem or not, we won't know until we reach the southwest border. Have you sent people to the states and counties to transfer troops?" The southwest and northwest borders are far away, and it is really difficult to inquire about news there. It takes a long time.

"If you go back to the general, they have already been dispatched. It will not take a few days before all the people will arrive at the southwest border." Hearing Su Qinghan's question, the guard replied.

"Well, continue to send people to inquire about the situation at the northwest border. In addition, send people to the southwest now to inquire about the news first. The emperor will also send people back to deliver the letter. By the way, I will inquire about Master Su's news."

In response, Su Qinghan gave instructions to the guards, who responded repeatedly, and then deployed them one by one according to Su Qinghan's instructions.

"Empress, Concubine Xian is here." Entering the inner room, Yingluo reported to the queen, she was a little surprised by Concubine Xian's arrival.

"Let her in." Raising her eyebrows, the queen ordered, and not long after, Concubine Xian followed Yingluo into the inner room.

"My concubine greets the empress, empress, Jin An." Saluting to the empress, Concubine Xian's attitude was the same as before, very respectful.

"Mianli, why did you come to see me?" Looking at Concubine Xian, the queen said in a flat tone, with a hint of sarcasm in her voice.

"Returning to the Empress, since the concubine was grounded, the concubine has been thinking about the concubine, but the emperor ordered that even if the concubine wanted to come in, she couldn't come in."

"Now that I heard that the emperor has lifted the confinement of the empress, my concubine hastened to see the empress. Is the empress still okay?" Concubine Xian's words were tinged with fear as she spoke towards the empress' blessing.

"Concubine Xian, although I'm sick, I'm still not confused. If I remember correctly, I've been under confinement for several days. Is it too late for your concern?"

Emperor Jing had visited the queen before, and when he left, he lifted the queen's restraint. Now it has been a few days before Concubine Xian came to pay her respects, and the queen couldn't help but sneer in her heart.

"Please forgive me, my lord." Kneeling quickly on the ground, Concubine Xian's tone became more panicked, "I usually stay in Yongchun Palace, so the news is inevitably delayed."

Concubine Xian's words are naturally false. Although she has been staying in Yongchun Palace, she always pays attention to the news in the harem.

After listening to Concubine Xian's words, the Queen looked at her, and that scrutinizing gaze made Concubine Xian uneasy.

"Get up." After a long time, the queen finally said, "Tell me, why did you come to Qifeng Palace? I want to listen to the truth."

The so-called not going to the Three Treasures Palace for nothing, the queen believes that if there is no incident, Concubine Xian will definitely not come to Qifeng Palace, she is eager to get out of her control, how can she stick to it?Especially at a time like this.

"Empress Empress, this concubine really just misses Empress, that's why I came to visit Empress." Standing up, Concubine Xian blessed her body and spoke again.

When she said this, the corners of the Queen's lips couldn't help but twitch, "It's not true to think about Ben Gong, but to see when Ben Gong will die, isn't it true?"

"Your Majesty!" She suddenly raised her head to look at the Queen, Concubine Xian's face showed grievances, although she really thought so, but she dared not show such thoughts in front of the Queen.

"If you want Bengong to trust you, it's not impossible. I have something here that I want to leave to you to handle. If you do it well, Bengong will trust you, how about it?"

Staring at the grievance on Concubine Xian's face, the Queen smiled and said, Concubine Xian couldn't refuse, "Please tell me, no matter what happens, I will do my best to achieve it for Your Majesty!"
