Fengming Chen Palace

Chapter 343

Nurse Xiao, with 300 taels of silver invoices, plus some scattered silver, and the things rewarded from above, left the palace and the capital.

Because of her own greed, Wang almost made a big mistake and was imprisoned in Yuxiu Palace.

A few days passed, and she was so haggard that she no longer wanted to stay in the palace or the capital.

For her, being able to survive is her greatest luxury. It doesn't matter if you don't want any money or rewards. If you lose your life, having these things is useless.

After discussing with Emperor Chen, Su Qingning ordered someone to beat Wang's twenty sticks and sent him out of the palace.

She left with her, as well as her things, and 100 taels of silver.

The 100 taels were given to her by Su Qingning. As for the 200 taels in Dianzhong province, she forcibly lost them because of her own fault.

Lying on the carriage, Wang Shi regretted it, but in this world, there has never been any regret medicine that can be sold to her.

In a blink of an eye, it was New Year's Eve, and early in the morning, the palace became lively.

The Empress Dowager and the Empress are both newly mourned. According to the rules, even if it is Chinese New Year, it is not easy to be popular in the palace.

But there must always be some New Year's atmosphere. Besides, although the Queen Mother and Queen are not here, the Emperor is still alive. In the new year, we have to say goodbye to the old and usher in the new. If everything is too clean, it will look unlucky.

Therefore, although there are no red silk and red lanterns hanging around, the window grilles and blessing characters that should be pasted are still indispensable.

Su Qingning and Concubine Lu walked around the palace together, making sure there was nothing wrong, and then walked back together.

"I heard that the eldest princess is sick? I don't know what's going on now?" Two days ago, there was news from Zhaochun Palace that the eldest princess had contracted a cold and developed a fever.

Originally, Su Qingning and Concubine Lu wanted to take a look, but because of Concubine Zhang Shu's temper, they had no choice but to send someone to deliver something and inquire about news by the way.

Emperor Chen had been there, but in the end, he didn't see the eldest princess. Concubine Zhang Shu said that the eldest princess was sick and her body was weak. She was usually afraid of the emperor. If she saw the emperor, her illness would be even worse.

These words made Emperor Chen very angry. He wanted to be tougher and go to see his daughter, but he didn't expect that Concubine Zhang Shu would force her to die.

Fortunately, the imperial physician was there, and the imperial physician Zhong also visited the eldest princess. He told the emperor that the eldest princess just contracted a cold and was fine.

This made the emperor feel at ease...

After all, Imperial Physician Zhong was in charge of Yuxiu Palace, so just this time, he never went to Zhaochun Palace again. For these two days, he was guarded by an imperial physician trusted by Concubine Zhang Shu.

It's just the wind and cold, it's not serious, even though it's hot, it's not a serious problem, even if Imperial Physician Zhong doesn't watch over it, ordinary imperial physicians can handle it well.

After all, to become an imperial physician, one must have two skills, and this is the imperial palace.

"I don't know about the current situation. Concubine Zhang Shu kept a close eye on Zhaochun Palace. After the imperial physician entered, she never came out again. She couldn't ask anything she wanted to ask."

After the emperor came back from Zhaochun Palace, he complained to her for a long time, but no one could change Concubine Zhang Shu's temperament.

"The eldest princess is being raised by Concubine Zhang Shu like this, I'm afraid... I'm afraid that in the future... hey!"

Sighing, Concubine Lu frowned tightly. Although Jin'er was gone, she was a mother after all. This situation made her feel distressed.

"Today is New Year's Eve. I think Concubine Zhang Shu will go to the palace banquet. As for the Eldest Princess, she should stay in Zhaochun Palace. When the time comes, I will send someone to inquire. Maybe I can find out some news."

Seeing Concubine Lu's worried face, Su Qingning said, she knew that Concubine Lu felt sorry for the princess.

But with such a biological mother, no one can do anything about it, even the emperor has been turned away. I'm afraid that no one in the harem can change Concubine Zhang Shu.

The two walked and talked until they reached a fork in the road before they separated.

After returning to Yuxiu Palace, Su Qingning changed into light clothes and leaned on the soft couch. There was still a while before the palace banquet in the afternoon, so she could just rest for a while.

Seeing her close her eyes, Mother Chen was worried that she would catch a cold, so she deliberately covered her with a blanket, leaned on the soft couch, and fell asleep like this.

This time, he slept soundly, and didn't even have a dream.

When she woke up, Nanny Chen was about to call her, but when she saw her open her eyes, she stepped aside.

"Master is awake? It's almost time." Opening in a low voice, Nanny Chen knew that the master hadn't fully woken up yet.

"Get ready." It took a long time for her to respond, and sat up, and finally woke up.

Nanny Chen responded, ordered someone to prepare warm water, and asked Hongxiu to find auspicious clothes.

Today is New Year's Eve, when you go to Yanqing Palace to attend the palace banquet, you need to wear the imperial concubine's auspicious clothes.

Thinking of that heavy set, Su Qingning sighed helplessly.

Getting up from the soft couch, after washing her face, Su Qingning went into the inner room, combed her hair and changed her clothes.

After everything was packed, Su Qingning took people to Yanqing Palace.

Although the two children are still young, such a festive day will happen.

It's winter now, and the warm sedan chair is used. As a noble concubine, Su Qingning is favored by the emperor, so it is naturally the best one to use.

The two children were in the warm sedan with her, and they didn't feel cold or crowded.

The children have never left Yuxiu Palace since they were born. Although they are still young, they can see and hear, and they are not afraid of strangers. They feel strange when they look at everything.

When they arrived at Yanqing Palace, Su Qingning took the children and entered into Yanqing Palace.

In Yanqing Palace, many people have already come, basically except for her and Concubine Zhang Shu, only the emperor has not come.

Originally, the emperor wanted to come with Su Qingning, but some things delayed him, so he had to wait until the end to be the finale.

The eunuch's report and singing sounded, and everyone in the hall fell to their knees. Su Qingning supported Nanny Chen's hand and walked forward.

When they reached the top, Su Qingning raised his hand, and the people in the hall got up one after another and took their seats.

This was Su Qingning's first year after becoming a noble concubine. She couldn't describe the feeling, it was indeed different from the past.

Looking around the hall, Su Qingning saw Concubine Lu, the seat of Concubine Zhang Shu was empty, and no one came yet.

Withdrawing her gaze, Su Qingning watched Nanny Chen and the others inspect the tableware. They had suffered losses before, so they must not suffer again and again in this kind of matter.

After the tableware was inspected, Su Qingning asked the time, guessing that the emperor would be here soon.

"Concubine Zhang Shu is here!" Outside the hall, the eunuch's chanting sounded, and Concubine Zhang Shu finally arrived late.

Seeing her walking into the palace, except for the palace people, there was no Eldest Princess beside her, Su Qingning glanced at Nanny Chen, and gave some instructions in a low voice.

Nanny Chen understood, and quietly retreated out. She didn't come back until Concubine Zhang Shu was seated.

Outside the hall, the eunuch's singing sounded again, and the Emperor finally arrived.
