Fengming Chen Palace

Chapter 262
Su Qingning sat on the chair, and she heard everything the queen said.

I thought it was a big deal for the queen to find me, but I didn't expect it to be as simple as eating a meal.

From the queen's words, Su Qingning could not hear any hostility. She understood that the queen had no affection for the emperor.

That's true, if it wasn't like this, how could the queen leave the palace?

As the queen spoke, Su Qingning listened quietly, occasionally responding with a few words.

In the small kitchen of Fengyang Palace, they are busy, making dishes that the emperor and empress love to eat.

"Concubine Su, what do you want to eat? You can tell me, I have ordered someone to prepare it for you." Thinking of something, the queen asked softly.

"Thank you Empress, I don't choose concubines." Su Qingning understood that this was the last meal between the emperor and empress, to be exact, the last meal in the palace.

After the queen leaves, it will not be easy to meet again.

"It's all a family, so don't be polite." After hearing Su Qingning's words, the queen smiled and said.

"Yes, the concubine really doesn't choose, if you don't believe me, you can ask the emperor." Su Qingning responded and looked up at the emperor.

"Queen, don't worry, among the few dishes I mentioned earlier, there are some she likes to eat." Seeing that the question came to him, Emperor Chen responded with a smile.

When he said this, the queen nodded, "Speaking of which, I never thought before that one day, I would be able to leave the palace and the capital. I always thought that I would always sit in the position of queen and suppress the Chu family. .”

The existence of the queen is to suppress the Chu family and prevent members of the Chu family from becoming queens.

But now, the Chu family has collapsed, and it can no longer be like it used to be, and the queen doesn't need to suppress anyone anymore.

"Qingluo, you've worked hard for you these years." After hearing what the queen said, the Emperor Chen looked at her. If it wasn't for her, the harem would not be so peaceful during his years as emperor.

Although there were some things that happened, it was much better than that of the first emperor.

Although the queen mother seems to be very powerful, in fact, when she was a queen, she was crushed to death by the former emperor.

Most of the former emperor and harem were controlled by the former emperor, and all the harem fought fiercely. The queen mother has some skills to survive to this day.

But with her ability, at that time, she could not do much except save her life.

The only thing is probably the emperor's business. She imprisoned the pregnant maid in her own palace, assumed that she was pregnant, and then gave birth to the prince.

What she didn't know was that all of this was actually under the control of the first emperor, and it was because of this that Xuanyuanqi was not able to marry Chu Yurou.

"The emperor's words are just polite. As a queen, I should do those things." After listening to the emperor, the queen smiled and said.

"Now in this harem, with concubine Su accompanying the emperor, the concubine can leave with peace of mind." Turning to look at Su Qingning, the empress looked kindly, "Looking at you now, I feel a little more relaxed, not as stiff as before gone."

After talking, Su Qingning's nervousness eased a lot. She was indeed nervous before, after all, she didn't know what the queen wanted to do.

But after listening to her talk, Su Qingning understood that she was actually thinking too much, and the queen came to him because she was really just talking.

"I made your empress laugh." Picking up the teacup on the table and taking a sip of water, Su Qingning responded with a smile.

"Reporting to Empress, the food is ready." Outside the hall, the voice of the palace man's reply came, and the queen responded and ordered the meal to be delivered.

The hall became bustling again, the palace people presented the food, and then retreated together.

"On weekdays, I eat by myself, and I don't like being served, the emperor knows." Looking at Su Qingning, the queen worried that she would not get used to it.

"Please rest assured, my concubine also likes to eat by herself." Except for the inspection by Nanny Chen, she picks up the food herself, and she is not used to being waited on.

"That's good." Hearing what Su Qingning said, the queen felt relieved.

Although it was a matter of reticence, the queen came to Su Qingning just to talk, so during the dinner, the two chatted a lot.

In contrast, the empress knew the emperor better than Su Qingning, and she knew the emperor earlier.

So the queen knows many things that Su Qingning doesn't know.

During the meal, the queen said a lot, which made Su Qingning understand the emperor better.

After a meal, Su Qingning roughly understood the queen's intentions. She hoped that she could have a better relationship with the emperor.

"Thank you, ma'am." Standing up, Su Qingning once again saluted the queen.

Seeing her like this, the queen's smile deepened, "You are a smart person, no wonder the emperor keeps you in his heart."

The emperor looked at the two of them, feeling a little dazed. In many things, men are not as sensitive as women.

At this time, the three of them had already eaten, and they had almost said what they should say.

"Your Majesty, since everything has been arranged, the concubine will not delay any longer. The concubine will leave the palace early tomorrow morning."

Looking at the emperor, the queen expressed her thoughts, she had been in the palace for a long time, and it was time to leave.

"Take care all the way." Emperor Chen nodded, without saying much, a thousand words were contained in these four words.

"Empress, please take care." Knowing that the queen will leave tomorrow, Su Qingning looked at her with sincerity in her words. She very much hoped that the queen's future would be all right.

"Thank you." Looking at her, the queen smiled and nodded, she took her hand and folded it with the emperor's hand, "The emperor will leave it to you, I hope you can take good care of the emperor, and I also hope that the emperor can take good care of you." you."

"It's done. I'm leaving tomorrow morning. I have to prepare now, so I won't send you off. Your Majesty, I will trouble you to send Concubine Su back to the palace."

All that needs to be said has been said, and it's time to say goodbye, "When I leave tomorrow, you probably won't be able to catch up, so just say it here and there will be a period later."

Emperor Chen held Su Qingning's hand and looked at the queen. After all, they had known each other for many years, and now they were like this, which made people feel a little sour, "There will be a period later."

After finishing speaking, Emperor Chen took a deep breath, and walked towards the outside of the palace with Su Qingning. The moment Su Qingning walked out of the palace gate, Su Qingning and Emperor Chen turned their heads together and looked at the queen.

The queen stood in the hall with a smile on her face. Seeing the two people looking at her, she waved her hand and her smile deepened.

Seeing her like this, the two imitated her, waved their hands together, and finally left.

On the way back to Yuxiu Palace, both of them didn't sit in the sedan chair. Emperor Chen took Su Qingning's hand and talked about many past events.

Su Qingjing listened quietly, she understood that the emperor was like this, not because he was reluctant to leave the queen, but just sighed, life is like this, it is inevitable that there will be differences.

Involuntarily, Su Qingning thought of her dream...
