Fengming Chen Palace

Chapter 127 Mid-Autumn Festival
After sending off Dr. Zhong, Nanny Chen returned to the main hall. Su Qingning was carefully choosing a name. When she heard footsteps, she raised her head and looked at Nanny Chen.

"What did Mammy say to Imperial Physician Zhong that it took so long to come back?" Su Qingning asked with a smile.

"I didn't say anything, just chat casually." The matter is still uncertain, Chen Nanny thinks, it's better not to talk about it now, it's not too late to talk about it when it's confirmed.

She said so, Su Qingning didn't ask any more questions, and continued to choose the child's name.

"Master, I heard that after the Mid-Autumn Festival, the Empress will hold a palace banquet for the Empress Dowager in Yanqing Palace, and then invite all the palaces to accompany the Empress Dowager to listen to the opera."

Report the news I just got to Su Qingning. As a third-rank cultivator, she will go no matter what.

"Holding a palace banquet for the queen mother? It's a must. I'll help me choose what to wear." Su Qingning nodded after listening to Chen's mother, and didn't take it too seriously.

This is the imperial palace, and things like palace banquets are common occurrences, so be careful when you go, that's all.

Mother Chen accepted the order, even if the master didn't say anything, she would think of and prepare everything that should be prepared and thought of.

August [-]th is the Mid-Autumn Festival. This is a day for reunion. Every Mid-Autumn Festival, there will be a palace banquet in the palace, which is lively and lively.

Because the Mid-Autumn Festival is suitable for admiring the moon, the palace banquet is chosen in the evening, so that you can enjoy the moon while eating.

Su Qingning supported Nanny Chen's hand, and sat in his seat. Many people came to the hall. As usual, Lu Xiurong sat near Su Qingning.

This was specially arranged. The queen knew that the two had a good relationship, so they could talk if they were closer.

Seeing Su Qingning, the second princess greeted her obediently. Su Qingning was pregnant, and the food on the table was different from others. The second princess could think of food when she saw her, so she liked Su Qingning very much.

Nanny Chen checked the things on the table and made sure that there was nothing wrong with it, so she signaled to Su Qingning that they could eat.

Seeing the eager look of the second princess, Su Qingning picked up a piece of pastry and handed it to the second princess.

After obediently thanking her, the second princess ate snacks, Lu Xiurong's face was full of happiness, she was very content with her daughter by her side.

There were more and more people in the hall, and with the sound of singing outside the hall, the empress and queen mother walked into the hall together.

Su Qingning and Lu Xiurong had stopped chatting, and they got up together with the crowd, saluting the Empress and the Empress Dowager.

When the emperor's voice came, everyone got up and took their seats. Su Qingning could feel that someone was looking at her first.

Raising her head, Su Qingning's gaze met the Emperor Chen's. She smiled at the Emperor Chen, then picked up the water glass on the table, and took a sip of water.

The Emperor Chen looked back and ordered Zhou Chengren to serve Su Qingning a few more plates of fruit. He knew that Su Qingning liked to eat, especially all kinds of fresh fruits.

Zhou Chengren responded and quickly gave orders. After a while, several plates of fresh fruits were placed on Su Qingning's table.

Sitting in her own seat, Concubine Chu Gui could see the interaction between Su Qingning and Emperor Chen, which made her feel sore.

Since the last time, the emperor went to her Roufu Palace for several consecutive days, he never came again, even if it was lunch, he never had lunch with him.

Indeed, she was torn in her heart. On the one hand, she hoped that the emperor would come, but on the other hand, she was afraid that Xuanyuanqi would be found after he came.

Thinking of Xuanyuanqi, Concubine Chu frowned. He had promised herself before that he would leave after the Mid-Autumn Festival. She hoped that Xuanyuanqi would leave soon.

Picking up the wine glass, Concubine Chu drank a glass of wine, her eyes would fall on the emperor from time to time.

How much she wished that the emperor could look at her, the same way he looked at Su Xiuyi, she would be satisfied even if he just glanced at her.

"Your Majesty, you can't drink any more, you'll get drunk." Zizhu stood aside, watching Concubine Chu drinking one cup after another, she quickly spoke to persuade Concubine Chu.

"Don't worry about me, today is the Mid-Autumn Festival, I'm happy." Concubine Chu continued to drink with dissatisfaction, and Concubine Chu just pretended she didn't hear.

Although Concubine Chu's capacity for drinking is not bad, but if she continues to drink like this, she will always get drunk, and when the banquet draws to a close, Concubine Chu is finally drunk.

Perhaps because she noticed the situation on her side, the queen mother said that she was sleepy and wanted to leave, so Emperor Chen and the queen left Yanqing Palace with the queen mother.

Both the empress and the empress had left, and Concubine Chu became the highest-ranking concubine. Zizhu and Zixiao didn't dare to let her continue drinking, so they hurriedly supported her and left Yanqing Palace.

Sitting on the sedan chair, Concubine Chu looked up at the moon in the sky, feeling very sore in her heart. She drank a lot, but her mind was still clear.

Thinking of the emperor's care for Su Xiuyi during the palace banquet, Su Xiuyi's shy and timid look when facing the emperor's eyes, Concubine Chu's eye circles were a little hot, she stretched out her hand, covered her eyes, and leaned on the sedan chair.

The sedan chair stopped at Roufu Palace, Zizhu's voice came, Concubine Chu supported her hand, staggered, and walked towards the main hall.

Xuanyuanqi was in the inner room, he could hear the voice from the outer room.

Both Zizhu and Zixiao knew that Xuanyuanqi was here, so except for the two of them, the rest of the palace people were pushed back.

"Why did you drink so much?" Looking at Concubine Chu Gui's appearance, he could tell that she was drunk, Xuanyuanqi frowned and came to the soft couch.

"You don't care about me!" Hearing Xuanyuan Qi's words, Concubine Chu Guifei stared at him in a bad tone, and seeing her like this, Xuanyuan Qi's brows frowned even deeper.

Zizhu and Zixiao didn't dare to speak, they prepared water for Concubine Chu to rinse her mouth, soaked the handkerchief again, and helped her wipe her face.

Xuanyuanqi turned around and went back to the inner room. Zizhu and Zixiao waited on him, changed clothes for Concubine Chu Gui, took off the hair ornament on her head, and combed her long hair.

After the two of them had cleaned up, Xuanyuanqi came out of the inner room again, and he ordered the two to prepare sober soup, while he picked up Concubine Chu Gui and walked towards the inner room.

"My lord!" Zi Xiao spoke quickly, Xuanyuan Qi stopped and looked at her, Zi Xiao quickly lowered his head and dared not speak again.

Seeing her like this, Xuanyuanqi looked away, carried Concubine Chu into the inner room, put Concubine Chu on the bed, and helped her cover a thin blanket.

When she came back, Zizhu ordered someone to prepare hangover soup, and she asked Zixiao to listen, while she went to the small kitchen and brought hangover soup.

Standing at the entrance of the inner room, Zizhu hesitated for a moment, and opened his mouth to reply. Xuanyuanqi's voice came, Zizhu quickly entered the inner room, and saw his master lying on the bed, and Xuanyuanqi sitting at the table in neat clothes. Take it easy.

Although she knew that the master was living in the outer room during this time, she was still worried. After all, today's situation is special, the master is drunk, what should I do if something happens...
