Abandoned Concubine's Promotion

Chapter 223
After listening to Su Qingyan's words, Emperor Jing suddenly remembered what Xia Shi said before, when the twelfth lunar month entered, Ah Qing's body would be able to conceive again.

He has been so busy during this time that he actually forgot such an important matter.

"Since that's the case, then I'll listen to you. After you become pregnant, I will confer on you." Holding Su Qingyan's hand in his, Emperor Jing gently stroked it.

"Yeah." Nodding, Su Qingyan responded with a smile. For her, she will be promoted sooner or later anyway, and later is better than earlier.

After all, the Empress Dowager's eyes are still fixed on her right now, if Jin Feng is granted at this time, it will definitely arouse the dissatisfaction of the Empress Dowager.

This time it was copying Buddhist scriptures, who knows what the next time will be?If it's a glass of poisoned wine, then the loss outweighs the gain.

The two of them were talking, and Nanny Jin led the people into the hall, and placed the charcoal fire and the copper pot on the table, and another palace servant stepped forward, and placed fresh vegetables and meat beside the copper pot.

"Please wash your hands, Your Majesty." A soft voice sounded, and a pair of fair hands came in front of Emperor Jing holding a copper basin.

Hearing the sound, Nanny Jin couldn't help but frowned, and looked in the direction of the sound, there was a slightly conspicuous court lady with a copper basin in her hand, kneeling beside Emperor Jing.

Not only her, but even Emperor Jing frowned. He looked up at the maid holding the copper basin, and then looked away.

Su Qingyan looked at the palace lady who was speaking, her expression was normal, Nanny Jin didn't know her, but Su Qingyan did.

The maid holding the copper basin is none other than the maid Ning Xiang who came to her side with Zi Yuan before.

After Ziyuan's incident happened, although Ningxiang stayed by her side all the time, she was never reused, and because of this, Nanny Jin didn't know her very well.

Ning Xiang could feel that there were several eyes on her at this time, she was afraid in her heart, but thinking of the possibility of success, she mustered up her courage again.

Seeing the emperor's hands stirring in the water, Ning Xiang couldn't help but imagine, what would it be like if these hands were on her body?
Thinking of this, Ning Xiang couldn't help but blush, Jin Nanny kept staring at her, seeing her blushing cheeks, a coldness flashed in her eyes.

As a slave, the most taboo thing is what Xiao thinks does not belong to her.

If this court lady just had a little thought, she might be able to give her a way out, but, looking at her, I'm afraid she is terminally ill and hopeless. If so, this person can't stay.

In the harem, it is not a big deal for a court lady to 'die of illness', but right now, both the emperor and the master are here, so some things can only be postponed for the time being.

Ning Xiang didn't know that one of her actions had already sealed her future fate.

"Stand back." After cleaning her hands, Emperor Jing gave an order, disappointment flashed in Ningxiang's eyes, she stood up, and slowly retreated towards the outside of the hall.

"Wait a minute." Seeing that everyone was about to leave the hall, Emperor Jing suddenly spoke, and everyone stopped quickly, waiting for Emperor Jing's order.

Ning Xiang was a little apprehensive, but also a little happy, she quietly raised her head and looked at Emperor Jing.

The emperor's eyes looked at her, and they happened to collide with her eyes.

Ning Xiang was startled, and quickly lowered her head, only to hear Kang Ninghai's voice suddenly came, "Bold maidservant, how dare you look directly at Long Yan, come here, drag him out and stick him to death!"

Having been by Emperor Jing's side for many years, Kang Ninghai has long since become a human spirit. He has seen everything just now. He knows very well that the emperor will not let this court lady stay in Guanju Palace.

Not to mention anything else, just saying that she dared to seduce the emperor in front of Chen Zhaoyi so blatantly, it was a great crime!

Sure enough, when the emperor opened his mouth, Kang Ninghai's gaze fell on Ningxiang in an instant. When she raised her head, Kang Ninghai immediately seized the opportunity and sent her off.

"Your Majesty, spare your life! Your Majesty, spare your life!" Upon hearing the death of the staff, Ning Xiang's legs suddenly went limp, and she quickly knelt on the ground, begging for mercy from Emperor Jing.

Without even looking at her, Emperor Jing picked up the chopsticks and put the meat in the boiling hot soup.

"Your Majesty, I beg you to save this servant, I will never dare again, never again!" Seeing Emperor Jing ignoring her, Ningxiang felt desperate, she looked at Su Qingyan, and kowtowed at her.

"Shut up, you don't want your own life, don't you even want the lives of your family?" Jin Nao came to her side, stuffed the handkerchief into her mouth, and threatened her in a low voice.

Hearing what Jin Nanny said, Ning Xiang suddenly lost her voice, and could only let the palace servants drag her out of the palace.

"If there is any restlessness, it will end like this. Let's all retreat." After Ningxiang was dragged out, Emperor Jing opened his mouth, his voice was cold, and everyone hurriedly responded and retreated quietly.

The hall became quiet again, and the meat in the hot soup was completely cooked. Emperor Jing picked up a chopstick of meat for Su Qingyan, and said softly, "Are you scared?"

"My concubine is fine, thank you Your Majesty." She said with a smile, at this time Su Qingyan didn't feel scared, on the contrary, because of Emperor Jing's actions, she was very upset.

She also knew that Ningxiang would definitely not be able to survive, but she never expected that the emperor would do it herself.

"You have few people here now, wait until I let Kang Ninghai choose carefully, and re-select a few for you."

Looking at Su Qingyan, seeing that there was nothing unusual about her, Emperor Jing was relieved a lot.

"Your Majesty, there are enough people here for this concubine. I always like to be quiet. It would be better if there were fewer people."

After listening to Emperor Jing's words, Su Qingyan thought about it carefully before replying, for her, it doesn't matter how many people there are, the important thing is to be loyal to her.

When Su Qingyan said so, Emperor Jing didn't force her, and smiled in agreement.

The two continued to eat the hot pot, and from time to time, they talked about each other's interesting stories when they were young, and they were very happy.

Outside the palace, Kang Ninghai and others were guarding. Ningxiang had already been killed with a stick, and a eunuch swept her with grass, sent her out of the palace, and threw her into a mass grave.

"Boss Kang, are the shoes comfortable to wear before?" Zitan stood opposite Kang Ninghai and asked him with a smile.

"Comfortable, very comfortable, Miss Zitan's hands are really skillful." Some time ago, Zitan handed over the finished shoes to Kang Ninghai, and Nanny Jin also knew about this.

As for Zitan, Jin Momo was very relieved, let alone Kang Ninghai's age, if he was an eunuch, Zitan would not be so confused.

"It's good to be comfortable. It's almost the Chinese New Year. I'm going to make a few more pairs of shoes. If Manager Kang doesn't mind, I'll wait for my servant to make another pair for you to wear during the Chinese New Year."

"That's a good relationship. Wearing new shoes during the Chinese New Year will bring joy throughout the year. It just so happens that the emperor gave some tea to Miscellaneous House a few days ago, and I will bring it to the red sandalwood girl."
