Abandoned Concubine's Promotion

Chapter 474 Ambition
It was dinner time when Emperor Jing returned to Longgan Palace. Seeing Su Qingyan's absent-minded appearance, Emperor Jing reckoned that she knew about the palace banquet.

After the crowd retreated, Emperor Jing stretched out his hand to hold Su Qingyan's hand, and comforted her, "Ah Qing, don't worry, it will be fine."

Emperor Jing had made arrangements for everything, just waiting for Xiao Peng to come over.

"Your Majesty, no matter what, you must be careful. Although you are well-prepared, you still have to pay more attention." Su Qingyan was most worried about losing Jingzhou carelessly, because because of all the preparations, Emperor Jing underestimated the enemy.

"Don't worry, for the sake of you and the child, I will pay more attention to it. When the day of the palace banquet comes, you will call yourself sick and stay at ease in Longgan Palace and don't go anywhere."

Emperor Jing would naturally not allow Su Qingyan to participate in such a matter, and if something went wrong, Emperor Jing would not be able to bear it.

When Emperor Jing said this, Su Qingyan nodded obediently. Although she was still worried, she was willing to believe that the matter would be resolved safely in the end.

…………

The two days passed quickly, and in a blink of an eye it was time for the palace banquet. Early in the morning, the palace people got busy in Yanqing Palace, making the finale for the follow-up.

Yesterday, everything that should be prepared was almost ready, but there are some things that can only be arranged today.

After the morning court, all the ministers went home and tidied up before re-entering the palace. The palace banquet was chosen at noon, so they naturally wanted to eat lunch when they came to the palace.

Today is a special day for Xiao Peng. At this time, he is sitting in the study at home, and he is not in a hurry to enter the palace now.

"Father, when are we going to leave?" Xiao Yuheng came in from the study and asked his father.

Xiao Peng glanced at him, and said lightly, "Why are you in a hurry? Sit down and rest for a while, don't be so impatient."

Xiao Peng was not in a hurry to set off, he planned to bring people into the palace when the banquet in the palace was about to start.

Hearing what his father said, Xiao Yuheng responded and sat on the chair, "Father, are you all ready for the Seventh Prince?"

After confirming the time of the palace banquet, Xiao Peng went to the house in person and finalized some details with Bailirui, so when Xiao Yuheng asked, Xiao Peng nodded, "Don't worry, everything is ready, wait a little longer , the throne will change hands."

"Father, why don't you become the emperor yourself? After supporting the emperor's child, when that child grows up, if he has a different heart, it will be troublesome instead." Looking at Xiao Peng, Xiao Yuheng looked puzzled. I have thought about it many times in my heart, until today, I finally asked.

"People in our family cannot be emperors." After hearing Xiao Yuheng's words, Xiao Peng immediately said, "If you support a prince, you can tell the people that the emperor died of a sudden illness, and no one will know. What the Xiao family did."

"If our own family becomes the emperor, the people will definitely know that our Xiao family rebelled and killed the emperor." Although Xiao Peng is ambitious, he pays too much attention to reputation, otherwise, he would not have done it until now.

"Father, even if someone knows, so what? If the world becomes the Xiao family, who dares to say anything, whoever dares to say it will kill him, one who says to kill one, two who say to kill a pair!"

Unlike Xiao Peng, Xiao Yuheng doesn't care about reputation. In his opinion, when standing in a high position, all opposition voices will disappear with the status.

He is still young now, so he is naturally longing for that high position,

"Yuheng, don't think about that position. Dad doesn't want to be infamous. Besides, if you do what you say, the world will be in our hands. If that's the case, what difference does it make if you sit in that position or not?"

In some matters, Xiao Peng is very stubborn, and Xiao Yuheng is also helpless towards him. He can't say anything about his father, and he can't do anything to his father, so he has no choice but to agree unwillingly.

"My lord, the Seventh Prince is here." Outside the study, the housekeeper's voice sounded, Xiao Peng responded, and after a while, Bailirui followed the housekeeper into the room.

"Lord Xiao, when are you leaving?" Bailirui found a chair at random and sat down. He looked at Xiao Peng and asked.

"Seventh Prince, don't worry, wait a little longer, when everyone arrives, let's go directly to the palace." This way, it is also convenient to catch them all in one go.

In Xiao Peng's heart, there are many people who want to get rid of, so before that, he will not enter the palace.

"Then just wait, the king's side has already been arranged, and we're just waiting for Lord Xiao." Nodding, Bailirui responded, and then looked at Xiao Yuheng.

"Looking at Mr. Xiao's appearance, I don't seem very happy." Xiao Yuheng didn't like Bailirui, and Bailirui naturally didn't like him, but since he saw it, it didn't hurt to ask.

"Don't blame the Seventh Prince, the dog didn't have a good rest last night, and today he's a little nervous, so his complexion is unavoidable." Glancing at Xiao Yuheng, Xiao Peng glared at him, and then said to Bailirui with a smile.

In the current situation, Bailirui is the key. If he offends him at this time, it is not a good thing. If he wants to deal with him, it will not be too late to do so after the matter is completed.

"Please forgive me, Seventh Prince." After listening to his father, Xiao Yuheng cupped his hands at Bailirui. Although there was not much sincerity in his words, his attitude was much better than before.

"There is nothing to forgive or not to forgive. If the matter is resolved, the world will belong to your Xiao family. I hope that by that time, the Xiao family will not cross the river and tear down the bridge."

Smiling and speaking, Bailirui looked at Xiao Peng, and the smile on Xiao Peng's face suddenly became awkward when he said that.

"What is the Seventh Prince talking about? You have helped us a lot, how could we do such an ungrateful thing?" Even though he said that, Xiao Peng still felt a little uncomfortable.

"I'm not interested in that position, I'll help you, just because there is something very important in the harem, I want to get it, and whoever helps me get it, I will naturally help him."

As soon as Xiao Peng's words fell, Bailirui spoke again. Hearing what he said, Xiao Peng nodded repeatedly, "Yes, yes, what the Seventh Prince said is, don't worry, we will help you get what you want. , I just don’t know, what do you want?”

When discussing conditions before, Bailirui never said what he wanted, so Xiao Peng never knew what Bailirui wanted.

"What this king wants...you will know when the time comes. It's still the same sentence, I will help whoever gets it for me." Looking at Xiao Peng, the smile on Bailirui's face deepened. ...
