Abandoned Concubine's Promotion

Chapter 247
The hall fell into silence, and no one dared to intervene in the verbal battle between the empress and Concubine Rong.

"Your Majesty is right, you are the empress, so you worry a lot, but you are only the empress." After a long time, Concubine Rong opened her mouth and replied to what the empress said just now.

"That's enough." Looking at Concubine Rong, the Empress put away her usual smile, her eyes fixed on Concubine Rong's face with a hint of chill.

After the queen said so, Concubine Rong didn't speak anymore, she raised her eyebrows, held Hongxiu's hand, and sat in her seat.

The hall was quiet again. The Queen's eyes scanned the hall, and finally fell on Su Qingyan. At this time, Su Qingyan was sitting in a well-behaved manner, with a just right smile on her face.

Seeing Su Qingyan's face, the queen couldn't help but squinted her eyes. She wanted to say something, but she couldn't say it in the end.

What can I say?Said that she monopolizes the emperor's favor?Or what?
The queen suddenly realized that when she looked at Su Qingyan again, she was far less calm than she was when she faced Concubine Rong. Maybe it was because she had known Concubine Rong for many years, so she knew her too well. , I can't understand her.

In the past, the Empress didn't have much impression of her. After all, Su Qingyan had been in the palace for three years, and she was still a beauty. At that time, she was cautious and low-key, so people didn't notice her at all.

But now... Although she is still very low-key, the situation is completely different from before. Even if you don't want to notice her, you have to pay attention to her.

Su Qingyan was sitting on the chair, she could feel the Queen's gaze from above, she just pretended that she couldn't feel it, and sat quietly on the chair.

Su Qingyan was able to hold her breath, but the queen couldn't bear it any longer. She simply waved her hand and ended the early morning greeting.

As everyone stood up and saluted together, Su Qingyan left Qifeng Palace, and when Concubine Rong Gui and Concubine Xian got into the sedan chair and left, Su Qingyan held Zitan's hand and sat on the sedan chair.

Without looking at anyone, Su Qingyan gave orders and signaled the sedan chair to return to Guanju Palace.

"Master, it's Director Kang." Before returning to Guanju Palace, Zitan saw Kang Ninghai's figure from a distance, she looked at Su Qingyan, and spoke to her.

Hearing what Zitan said, Su Qingyan raised her head and looked forward. Sure enough, Kang Ninghai was walking in her direction.

"Master Chen." Coming to the sedan chair, Kang Ninghai saluted Su Qingyan. Su Qingyan waved her hand and asked him why he came.

"The servant is ordered by the emperor to invite Master Chen to have a meal at Longgan Palace at noon." Hearing Su Qingyan's question, Kang Ninghai quickly answered.

After listening to Kang Ninghai's words, Su Qingyan nodded and signaled the sedan chair to go to Longgan Palace, "Is the emperor very busy today?"

Normally, Emperor Jing would go to Guanju Palace for meals, but today he specially asked Kang Ninghai to come to him, he must be a little busy.

"If you go back to Master Chen, the emperor will not be in a good mood." Knowing Su Qingyan's position in Emperor Jing's heart, Kang Ninghai can still reveal some things.

"Is it in a bad mood? Is it because of something in the court?" After hesitating for a while, Su Qingyan spoke.

"Perhaps so, but the slave doesn't know why." Even if he knew, Kang Ninghai didn't dare to say that he was a slave. He could know about the previous affairs, but he could only rot in his heart. Neither can be said.

"I understand." Nodding, Su Qingyan leaned back on the sedan chair and let the sedan chair go towards Longgan Palace.

When they arrived at Longgan Palace, Su Qingyan went directly to the side hall. She thought that Emperor Jing would handle court affairs in the main hall, but she didn't expect him to be waiting for her in the side hall.

"When I greet you tomorrow, I'll wear some more." Looking up at Su Qingyan, Emperor Jing said something dissatisfied, then lowered his head and continued to look at the memorial in his hand.

Su Qingyan responded, took off the fox fur covering her body, and leaned over to the charcoal basin to warm up.

There were plenty of charcoal fires and it was very warm. Su Qingyan looked at Emperor Jing and saw that his expression was serious with a hint of majesty, and couldn't help but smile on his lips.

After the relationship between the two became closer, it had been a long time since she had seen the majesty of the emperor. In front of her, the emperor always had a gentle expression and doting eyes.

"What are you looking at?" Seemingly noticing Su Qingyan's gaze, Emperor Jing raised his head and asked her.

"The concubine is looking at the emperor, and she seems to be in a bad mood looking at the emperor." Thinking of what Kang Ninghai said before, Su Qingyan opened her mouth tentatively.

"It was Kang Ninghai who told you, right?" In front of Su Qingyan, Emperor Jing had already restrained his emotions as much as possible, and he was really in a bad mood right now.

"I guessed it myself. I get along with the emperor day and night, so I can feel it." Although Emperor Jing guessed right, Su Qingyan didn't intend to admit it. She looked at Emperor Jing and responded with a smile.

When she said that, Emperor Jing didn't go into it, he waved at Su Qingyan, signaling her to come to him.

Seeing Emperor Jing beckoning, Su Qingyan wrinkled her nose in dissatisfaction, but still walked to Emperor Jing's side, seeing the dissatisfaction on her face, Emperor Jing couldn't help but laugh.

"Your majesty, it makes me feel like I'm greeting a puppy. It's really awkward." Without daring to look at the dragon case, Su Qingyan looked into Emperor Jing's eyes with a slightly mischievous smile on her face.

"Now I'm more courageous, dare to joke with me." Smiling, he pulled Su Qingyan and let her sit on his lap. Emperor Jing hugged her and let her sit in his arms.

"I'm really not in a good mood." Last night, Emperor Jing couldn't sleep, so he simply thought about the affairs in the court. Xiao Xiang has a lot of influence in the court, and it can be said that most of them are his people.

And in the court, there are too few that I can use. During the early court today, there were some ministers who submitted notes to talk about the affairs of the harem.

After what happened last time, the courtiers seldom talked about the harem, but this time, many people suddenly stood up to oppose his monopoly on Ah Qing.

Emperor Jing took a closer look, and among these people, almost all of them belonged to Xiao Xiang. If he hadn't done something behind the scenes, they probably wouldn't be like this all of a sudden.

Although in the end, Emperor Jing used his tough attitude to reject the courtiers' proposal, but Emperor Jing understood that this was not a long-term solution, and he had to find a way to cultivate useful people for himself.

However, where to choose the people who need to be used is a very important question.

Holding Su Qingyan in his arms, Emperor Jing briefly talked about his troubles. He didn't expect Su Qingyan to give him any advice, but if he said it, he would feel better.

As an emperor, he is destined to be lonely, but he is also lucky, because in this cold harem, he has someone he can trust...
