Abandoned Concubine's Promotion

Chapter 995 Untitled
Because she just came back, she had breakfast, Su Qingyan accompanied Emperor Jing to Shoukang Palace to pay her respects to the Empress Dowager.

The children had all gone to study, so Su Qingyan only had Xing'er by her side.

Not long after Xing'er was born, Emperor Jing went to war. For more than a year, Xing'er hadn't seen Emperor Jing.

At this time, Xing'er leaned in Su Qingyan's arms, wrapped her arms around Su Qingyan's neck, and looked at Emperor Jing curiously.

Emperor Jing looked at him and smiled kindly at him. Xing'er thought for a while and stretched out his arm to him.

Emperor Jing was a little surprised that Xing'er was like this, he stretched out his hand and hugged Xing'er in his arms.

Sitting on Emperor Jing's lap, Xing'er reached out and touched Emperor Jing's face, then stroked the beard on his chin, thought for a while, and then patted his chest.

Su Qingyan and Emperor Jing were a little puzzled by the series of actions. They didn't understand why he did this.

"Are you Emperor Father?" Xing'er raised his head, looked at Emperor Jing and asked after finishing touching and taking photos.

"Well, I am your royal father." Nodding his head, Emperor Jing replied in response.

"Queen Mother, Emperor Father is back!" Hearing Emperor Jing's response, Xing'er suddenly cheered and spoke to Su Qingyan.

During these days when Emperor Jing was away, Su Qingyan would often talk about him with Xing'er. After all, Emperor Jing was away and the child could not be reached. Su Qingyan didn't want to wait for him to come back. The child was too estranged from him.

In the past, when Xing'er was young, he couldn't understand Su Qingyan's words. As Xing'er grew up, he remembered everything Su Qingyan said in his heart.

Besides, Su Qingyan is not the only one who can talk about Emperor Jing in front of him, but also brothers and sisters, so Xing'er has been looking forward to her father's return.

The reason why I touched and patted it just now is because the Emperor Jing said from the mouths of my brothers and sisters is somewhat different.

In the first prince's and Sheng'er's impressions, Emperor Jing was tall, mighty, imposing, and particularly strong.

In the impression of Bao'er and Shun'er, Jingdi's face is very piercing, and they often feel very itchy and painful.

Seeing Xing'er's happy appearance, Emperor Jing and Su Qingyan looked at each other with smiles on their faces. Emperor Jing felt a little sour in his heart. He felt that he owed Su Qingyan and the children very much.

The sedan chair stopped at Shoukang Palace, before Emperor Jing brought Su Qingyan and Xing'er into Shoukang Palace.

The Empress Dowager was leaning on the soft couch, not very energetic. After all, she was old. Su Qingyan remembered that when she first met the Empress Dowager, she was only in her early forties, and now she was close to 60 years old.

Her hair, which was originally very black, has turned a lot whiter, and her spirit is not as good as before.

Elderly people are not as healthy as before. At the beginning of the year, the Empress Dowager fell seriously ill, and Su Qingyan waited on her for several days in dismay, before the Empress Dowager woke up.

In order not to worry Emperor Jing, Su Qingyan did not tell him that she would often visit and accompany the Queen Mother in normal times.

When she got up early, the queen mother knew the news of Emperor Jing's return, and now she was very happy to see Emperor Jing and Su Qingyan coming.

Instructing the palace staff to prepare refreshments, the Empress Dowager invited Emperor Jing to sit down with Su Qingyan. As for Xing'er, she sat next to the Empress Dowager as usual.

"Being out for more than a year, the emperor has lost a lot of weight, but he needs to make up for it." Looking at Emperor Jing, the queen mother spoke slowly, perhaps because Emperor Jing was here, the queen mother was in good spirits.

Seeing the empress dowager like this, Emperor Jing's eyes became a little hot, but after more than a year, the empress mother has aged a lot.

It is said that the mother is worried when her son travels thousands of miles. After all, she is leading the army to fight outside, which is even more worrying.

"Yes, I know that the queen mother should take care of her health." Nodding in response, Emperor Jing planned to call the imperial physician after leaving Shoukang Palace to inquire carefully about the current physical condition of the queen mother.

At noon, Emperor Jing and Su Qingyan took Xing'er and had lunch in Shoukang Palace. After lunch, they chatted with the Queen Mother for a while. When the Queen Mother was taking a nap, the two of them took Xing'er and left Shoukang Palace.

Instructing Kang Ninghai to call the imperial physician to Qifeng Palace, Emperor Jing hugged Xing'er, with emotion in his words.

"In the past year, the queen mother has aged a lot, and we need to spend more time with the queen mother in the future."

"Yes." After Emperor Jing finished speaking, Su Qingyan responded. She roughly told Emperor Jing about the Empress Dowager's physical condition over the past year.

"Before the emperor was away, the concubine was worried that what she said would distract the emperor. Now that the emperor is back, the concubine should also tell the emperor about the actual situation."

"Right now, the Empress Dowager is taking medicine all the time. No one knows if she will get sick again in the future. The imperial doctor also said before that if she still gets sick, I'm afraid there will be no way to recover."

After all, the Empress Dowager is old, and when she was young, she was often counted against in the palace, so her physical foundation was inherently deficient.

Up to now, every time she gets sick, she will make her foundation worse. When her body is completely overdrawn, she will be exhausted.

"Let Xia Shi give it to the queen mother to take a good look at it." Hearing Su Qingyan finish speaking, Emperor Jing frowned and responded to her words.

Among the imperial physicians, Xia Shi's medical skills were the best. Su Qingyan nodded and returned to Qifeng Palace with Emperor Jing.

Asking the palace servants to carry Xing'er down for an afternoon nap, Su Qingyan went into the inner room and changed her clothes.

When the imperial physician came to Shoukang Palace, Emperor Jing inquired in detail. The situation of the Empress Dowager was no different from what Su Qingyan said.

Ordering the imperial physician to retreat, Emperor Jing went into the inner room, Su Qingyan sat on the edge of the bed, looked at Emperor Jing's worried face, got up and came to his side, and comforted him a few words.

"This year, it's more lively. It doesn't matter if you spend more money. My mother is getting older. I don't know how many more years I can spend with us."

Holding Su Qingyan's hand, Emperor Jing opened his mouth to give orders, Su Qingyan nodded in response, and waited for Emperor Jing to take off his coat.

Lying on the bed, Emperor Jing didn't speak for a long time. Su Qingyan knew that he was in a bad mood because of the Queen Mother's relationship.

She wanted to comfort her a little more, but she knew in her heart that no amount of persuasion would be of any use, and she actually felt uncomfortable.

Thinking of this, Su Qingyan held Emperor Jing's hand and conveyed her comfort silently. Emperor Jing stretched out his hand and patted her on the shoulder.

After waking up from the afternoon nap, Emperor Jing's mood eased a little. In the evening, the children would come back for dinner. Su Qingyan specially ordered someone to go to Yichun Palace to invite Concubine Ronghuang.

At dinner time, Royal Concubine Rong brought Princess An and the second prince to Qifeng Palace.

The dinner was ready, and the whole family sat around the table and ate dinner together. Emperor Jing looked at the children, and found that the children had changed a lot in just over a year.

The most obvious thing is the height of the children, everyone looks a lot taller, especially the second prince and Sheng'er, who seem to be the most obvious.
