Abandoned Concubine's Promotion

Chapter 255

At noon, Su Qingyan ordered the palace servants to pass on the meal. Since it was a flower viewing banquet, how could it be called a flower viewing banquet without a banquet?

In addition to lunch, Su Qingyan also arranged for the musicians from Shanglefang, and the songs and dances they performed also carried hints and warnings.

Looking at everyone in the hall, Su Qingyan guessed that there should be many people who want to leave at this time, but no one speaks, so no one is willing to be that early bird.

Everything was going very smoothly. Before, Su Qingyan was worried that someone would make trouble at today's flower viewing banquet. Now that the banquet is over, but there is no abnormality, Su Qingyan is relieved a lot.

What Su Qingyan didn't know was that there were indeed people who wanted to disrupt the situation today, but Emperor Jing had foreseen this in advance, so he rushed ahead and appeared in front of those who wanted to disrupt the situation.

"The queen doesn't seem to want to see me?" In Qifeng Palace, Emperor Jing stood at the door of the main hall, looking at the surprised queen.

"How... how? Naturally, the concubine welcomes the emperor, Yingluo, make tea for the emperor quickly." After recovering, the queen's eyes flashed with joy. She no longer remembers how long the emperor has not been to Qiqi Phoenix palace.

Along with the queen, Emperor Jing entered the Qifeng Palace, and everything in the Qifeng Palace was as usual, no different from the past.

"Has the emperor eaten? The concubine ordered the small kitchen to prepare it." Originally, the empress wanted to go to Tao Ranju to disrupt the situation, but now that the emperor came, she naturally lost her mind.

"Looking at the queen's appearance, it seems like she wants to go out? I don't know where you want to go?" After sitting down, Emperor Jing didn't answer the queen's question immediately. He looked at the queen and asked her.

"Chenqie... Chenqie wanted to go to Shoukang Palace to see the Empress Dowager, but unexpectedly the emperor came. If the emperor had time, why not accompany my concubine to dine in Qifeng Palace?"

Looking at Emperor Jing expectantly, the queen answered, she would naturally not say that she wanted to trouble Su Qingyan.

"Alright, I haven't had dinner with the queen for a long time." He nodded, since he came to stop the queen from messing up the situation, he naturally had to play to the end.

Seeing Emperor Jing's consent, the empress's face was even more joyful, and she hurriedly gave instructions to Yingluo who came back from bringing tea, and then sat down not far from Emperor Jing.

"What does the Empress do on weekdays?" The two were relatively speechless, Emperor Jing cleared his throat, and spoke to the Empress.

"The concubine...the concubine is the same as in the past, reading books, writing and writing, and occasionally practicing the piano. The emperor hasn't heard the concubine play the piano for a long time, right? Do you want to listen to a song?" Back then, Empress Xiao's piano sound was once praised by Emperor Jing. .

Now that it is rare for Emperor Jing to come to Qifeng Palace, the Empress hopes that through the sound of the zither, Emperor Jing can recall his love back then.

"En... that's fine." After hesitating for a moment, Emperor Jing nodded his head in agreement. Since everyone has come, he also said that it's no big deal to stay in Qifeng Palace for dinner and listen to the music of the piano.

With Emperor Jing's consent, the queen quickly ordered someone to fetch her Qin, which was Jiaowei, one of the top ten famous Qins, that Emperor Jing ordered to send to her when she got married.

Putting the burnt tail on the table, the empress ordered people to burn incense, while she cleaned her hands and sat in front of the qin.

Taking a deep breath, the queen thought for a while, and played a piece casually. The sound of the piano sounded, and Emperor Jing couldn't help frowning slightly when he heard the piano music played by the queen.

Although he hadn't listened to the piano for a long time, Emperor Jing could still hear what the queen was playing. He looked towards the queen and saw that the queen was playing it intently, so he turned his gaze away and stared at the ground.

What the queen played was "White-headed Song". Although it contains the famous line of "I hope to win the one-hearted person, the white-headed head will not be separated", it also expresses the grief and indignation of losing love and the desire for true and pure love. In the final analysis, it also condemns the behavior of liking the new and disliking the old, and abandoning halfway.

The queen played very seriously, she was already very good at playing the piano, so she played this piece very well. However, Emperor Jing sat aside, but he didn't seem to appreciate it at all.

At the end of the song, the queen looked towards Emperor Jing, expecting to see praise on Emperor Jing's face, but unexpectedly, what she saw was Emperor Jing's expressionless face, which made the queen feel a little chilled.

"Your Majesty, is your concubine playing well?" After holding back for a while, the queen finally spoke, with a questioning tone in her words.

Yingluo stood aside, hearing the Queen's tone, she wanted to remind her, but seeing Emperor Jing's eyes, she shut her mouth in fright.

"The empress played very well, but this white-headed chant... Is the empress trying to imply something to me?" Withdrawing his gaze, Emperor Jing looked at the empress without a trace of expression on his face.

Emperor Jing's question was not expected by the empress. Playing the Baitouyin was just a momentary thought and had no other meaning.

"Your Majesty, my concubine... my concubine..." I opened my mouth to explain, but I didn't know where to start. The empress still knew the meaning contained in the bald head chant.

Seeing the queen's appearance, Emperor Jing looked at her and said again, "Perhaps the queen feels wronged, but the queen should reflect on why she has come to where she is today? How is the Xiao family doing in the court now? Does the queen really have nothing?" What do you know? Did your persuasion fail, or did you allow the Xiao family to develop like this?"

Faced with Emperor Jing's questioning, the queen became more and more speechless. As a queen, she paid more attention to the affairs of the previous court than anyone else. She was not ignorant of what her father did, but she let her father do whatever he wanted , never thought of persuading.

"Queen, I think I have always respected you, but you have let me down too much." After all, they are young couples. If it weren't for the Xiao family, he would not have been able to ascend the throne. In addition, the queen's health is not good, so Emperor Jing Always been nice to the Queen.

However, many things happened again and again. Although Emperor Jing knew about it, he still cared about the past friendship and always turned a blind eye to her. But what got back was not to restrain himself, but to intensify it.

It is because of this that he lost his child with Ah Qing, which caused Ah Qing such pain. It is also because of this that the Xiao family became more and more presumptuous, and even had the heart of conspiracy.

If it's anything else, Emperor Jing may be able to forgive. It can be seen that in the past, he is tolerant towards the empress and the Xiao family, but treason is a serious crime. This point, not to mention Emperor Jing, is impossible for any emperor to be tolerant .

Now that I have chosen that path and continued on like this, I can't blame others...

"Your majesty, my concubine will definitely remind my father to let him be as loyal to the emperor as before, and ask the emperor to forgive me!" Kneeling on the ground, the queen pleaded with Emperor Jing.

The queen didn't know about the treason, she only knew that her father was now in court, and he was becoming more and more arrogant...
