When Mrs. Su heard this, she felt ashamed.

She looked at Old Madam Xie and said, "Old sister, it is my Su family's fault for not disciplining the children. I will go back and take strict care of them. From now on, the Su and Xie families should stay like this, so as not to cause any more inconvenience to the Queen."

Madam Xie reached out and held Madam Su's hand, saying, "If you say that, it will hurt the Queen's heart. The Queen has always been concerned about you, her grandmother. Moreover, I can understand Miss Su's heart. People can't control their emotions the most. However, today is not the right time. Even if she relies on her own abilities to make the Emperor favor her, I have no objection."

Su Qingcheng was slightly startled: "So, Madam Xie agreed to my entry into the palace?"

Old Madam Xie frowned and looked at Su Qingcheng.

At this time, footsteps were heard outside, and the nanny guarding outside the hall walked in quickly and said to Old Madam Xie and Chen Qingtang: "Old Madam, Young Madam, the Emperor is here."

Madam Xie turned and looked towards the door of the hall.

The hall door was pushed open from the outside.

Gu Changning appeared in Xihe Hall.

He stepped over the threshold and walked into the hall.

Everyone in the hall quickly stood up and knelt on the ground to salute Gu Changning.

Gu Changning stopped in front of the door and did not move forward. He glanced at the people in the hall and said, "Stand up."

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

Everyone said in unison.

Chen Qingtang helped Madam Xie up.

Madam Xie lowered her eyes to look at Su Qingcheng who was still kneeling, and replied to what Su Qingcheng had just said: "Second Miss Su, the person you should ask is right in front of you."

After saying that, Madam Xie looked at Gu Changning again and said, "Your Majesty, I dare to recommend you the cousin of the Queen's mother's family."

"I know." Gu Changning looked at Su Qingcheng: "In Shangchun Garden, I'm next to the Queen." Su Qingcheng's heart skipped a beat. This meant that the Emperor knew about her conversation with the Queen.

The emperor showed up here in person. Was he here for her?

Thinking of this, Su Qingcheng secretly became happy, and walked forward a few steps on her knees, then knelt upright in front of Gu Changning and saluted Gu Changning: "I am Su Qingcheng, a commoner, and I am willing to serve the emperor. I beg the emperor to give me a chance."

Gu Changning looked down at Su Qingcheng for a long time without saying a word.

Upon seeing this, Old Madam Su was so frightened that she broke out in a cold sweat and knelt heavily on the ground.

When the women of the Su family saw Old Madam Su kneeling down again, they knelt back down on the ground.

At this time, Gu Changning opened his lips, his voice full of the majesty of an emperor: "What do you like about me?"

Seeing that he was not angry, Su Qingcheng said truthfully: "I took a quick glance at the emperor in the garden and fell in love with him at first sight."

"But I don't like you." Gu Changning said succinctly, "Don't set foot in Yanjing City again. I don't want to see the Queen unhappy."

He said two words coldly and decisively, then flicked his sleeves and turned away.

Su Qingcheng froze in place, thinking she had misheard. When she saw Gu Changning walking out of Xihe Hall, Su Qingcheng crawled out and shouted, "Your Majesty, even if I am just a little maid, as long as I can see you from afar, I am willing..."

"Quickly shut up your cousin." Chen Qingtang saw her yelling. In addition, there were many guests in the Xie Mansion today. If any bad rumors came from the backyard again, who knows how people outside would criticize the Queen.

At Chen Qingtang's command, several servants from the Su and Xie families immediately rushed forward, dragged Su Qingcheng back to the hall, and blocked her mouth.

Su Qingcheng went crazy on the spot.

She couldn't stand being despised by Gu Changning. She was obviously the prettiest girl in the Su family, so why didn't the emperor even look at her? (End of this chapter)
