Abandoned Concubine's Promotion

Chapter 694 On the Road
"My lord, I have made some inquiries. I heard that Qi Zhaoyi went to Yichun Palace today and followed Concubine Rong to read the account books for a day. I guess he has already returned to Yihua Palace."

Hearing Su Qingyan's question, Zitan spoke in a respectful tone, and told Su Qingyan what he knew.

"Look at the account book? Qi Zhaoyi is helping Concubine Rong take care of the harem, do you still need to read the account book?"

A little surprised, Su Qingyan thought about it carefully, and asked Zitan suspiciously.

Although the right to manage the harem has been handed over to her long ago, she has never had the chance to really manage the harem with whom, so she is not too clear about this.

"If you go back to the master, the slaves don't know. It must be to let Qi Zhaoyi better understand the situation of the palace. After all, you can help if you are familiar with it."

Hearing Su Qingyan's question, Zitan was also at a loss. Since her master hadn't really done it, she must have had no chance to get in touch with it, so it's normal not to know.

"What did the master say to Zitan?" Golden Nanny came in from outside the hall with a snack in hand. Seeing that Su Qingyan and Zitan both looked puzzled, she asked Su Qingyan.

"Mommy Jin, I want to ask you something." Seeing Nanny Jin, Su Qingyan waved at her, and told Nanny Jin about the doubts in her heart.

"Look at the account book? I remember that some of the assistants in the harem don't need to read the account book. Logically speaking, Qi Zhaoyi's kind doesn't need to read the account book."

"The emperor's will is indeed to let Qi Zhaoyi help Concubine Rong, not to let her help with the affairs of the harem, but mainly because the new year is approaching, let her help Concubine Rong with the New Year's affairs."

"To put it bluntly, it is to run errands for Concubine Rong. As long as there is an order from Concubine Rong, Qi Zhaoyi will do it. So in this case, there is no need to read the account book."

"Of course, if the master is helping to manage the harem, he must start by looking at the account books. The old slave reckons that this is Concubine Rong who is working on Qi Zhaoyi."

Concubine Rong attaches great importance to power. It is normal for her to be unhappy if someone comes to distribute power.

"I see. Qi Zhaoyi must have suffered a lot in the past few days." Hearing Nanny Jin's explanation, Su Qingyan nodded. Even if she knew about such things, it was hard for her to say anything.

If you want to get some benefits, you have to suffer some hardships. This is inevitable. If Qi Zhaoyi can't hold on, it can only be said that she is not motivated enough.

After talking about Qi Zhaoyi, Su Qingyan picked up the pastries on the small table and ate them in small bites. It was already late and Emperor Jing had not returned yet.

As the year approached, the emperor also had a lot of things to be busy with, but he insisted on returning to Guanju Palace every night, because Su Qingyan often couldn't sleep well, and Emperor Jing wanted to be with her.

…………

"Ma'am, go this way." On the palace road, Zixuan supported Su Wangshi and walked on the cleaned road.

When she got up early, Su Qingyan yelled that she wanted to eat something made by Mrs. Su, so Mrs. Su asked Zixuan to take her to Shangshanfang.

Guanju Palace ran out of ingredients for what Su Qingyan wanted to eat, so she made a special trip to the Shangshan Room, after all, the ingredients there were the most complete.

With Zixuan taking her with her, everything went smoothly. After all, it was Guanju Palace who wanted something, how could Shangshanfang dare to neglect it?

For all the ingredients, Shangshanfang picked the best ones and asked Su Wangshi to pick and choose all the ingredients. Su Wangshi took Zixuan and returned to Guanju Palace.

Turning around the path, seeing that he was about to reach Guanju Palace, suddenly there was a cry for help, Su Wangshi stopped and looked in the direction of the call for help.

Although it was winter and it was snowing, but because it was on a small road, everything in front of it was covered by a rockery, so it was impossible to see the situation at all.

"Ma'am, should I go take a look?" Hearing the voice of a little maid, Zixuan looked at Su Wangshi and asked for her opinion.

Su Wangshi was kind-hearted, and when she heard the cry for help, she naturally would not ignore it. She took the basket from Zixuan and asked her to go and have a look.

Zixuan walked towards the voice calling for help, Su Wang looked at her back, waiting for her to come back.

"Mrs. Su." When Zixuan walked away, a voice came from behind Su Wangshi. She turned her head to look, and saw a face-faced little maid standing behind her.

"You are?" Turning around, Mrs. Su looked at the little maid and asked suspiciously.

"It doesn't matter who I am, what matters is that I have something to do with you..."

…………

When Zixuan came back, Mrs. Su was squatting on the ground, looking a little ugly. Zixuan hurriedly stepped forward and supported Mrs. Su, "Ma'am, what's wrong with you?"

"It's okay, just a sudden headache." Looking up, Su Wangshi's face turned pale, Zixuan looked at her like this, quickly helped her up, and went back to Guanju Palace.

"Didn't someone call for help just now? But what happened?" Su Wang always felt that there was something in her mind that she seemed to have forgotten. She frowned, but she couldn't remember it, but she still remembered that just now Why did Zixuan leave.

"Don't worry, ma'am, she's a court lady. The snowy road is slippery. She sprained her foot. Someone happened to pass by. The servant sent her back to her residence."

Hearing Su Wangshi's question, Zixuan answered, Su Wangshi nodded, her brows still frowning slightly.

After returning to Guanju Palace, Zixuan told about Su Wang's situation, and Su Qingyan quickly asked Zitan to invite Xia Qianluo to the main hall.

"Your Majesty, don't worry, Mrs. Su must have caught a cold. There's nothing serious about it. Drink some ginger soup and sleep for a while, and you'll be fine."

After diagnosing Su Wang's pulse, Xia Qianluo responded in a respectful tone, Su Qingyan couldn't help but blame herself when she heard this.

If she didn't want to eat the dishes made by her mother, she wouldn't let her catch a cold, she felt a little sorry.

"It's okay, I still blame myself. If I didn't wear less clothes, I wouldn't catch a cold, or maybe, when I went to bed last night, the quilt wasn't covered properly, so don't think too much about it."

After sitting for a while, Su Wangshi felt much better, she smiled and spoke to comfort Su Qingyan.

Originally Su Wangshi wanted to go to the small kitchen to cook for Su Qingyan, but Su Qingyan stopped her and asked Zixuan to send her to the side hall to rest.

Neither the Su Wang family nor Zixuan paid much attention to what happened on the road, so no one mentioned it to Su Qingyan.

In the afternoon, Mrs. Su finally got better. She insisted on going to the small kitchen to cook dinner for Su Qingyan.

…………

"It's done?" In Yongchun Palace, Concubine Xian looked at the little maid with surprise on her face.

"Of course it's done, otherwise, how could I take the risk to go out? Now, I'm looking forward to it more and more. Concubine Chen is giving birth. It must be very lively."
