Abandoned Concubine's Promotion

Chapter 277 No Sisters in the Palace

"Master, dinner is ready, do you want to pass it on?" Zi Xuan walked in from outside the hall at dinner time, and asked Su Qingyan with a salute.

"Let's pass on the meal." Nodding, Su Qingyan felt a little bit of anticipation in her heart. She had never tasted the dishes from the south of Hunan. She only knew that the spicy taste was very strong, and she didn't know if she could eat it.

After receiving Su Qingyan's order, Zixuan responded, and retreated outside the hall. Not long after, led by Nanny Jin, the palace people put the dinner on the table.

Looking at the food on the table, it was bright red, and she looked very appetizing. Su Qingyan hesitated for a moment, then picked up the chopsticks, and tasted the dish closest to her.

"Ahem... so spicy!" It's not that she has never tasted spicy food before, but it is completely different from what she tasted now. Su Qingyan coughed a few times, drank a few sips of water, and then looked at Nanny Lin .

"Please Chen Zhaoyi forgive me, this old slave has already reduced the ingredients as much as possible." Seeing Su Qingyan looking at her, Nanny Lin quickly knelt down on the ground.

"I don't blame you, it's because I haven't eaten Hunan cuisine, so I'm not used to it." After waving her hand, Su Qingyan said with a smile. She found that after the spicy taste, the whole person seemed to have an appetite immediately.

Picking up the chopsticks again, Su Qingyan tasted all the dishes on the table. Although they were a bit spicy, they were generally acceptable.

"The taste is still very good." After tasting, Su Qingyan looked at Nanny Lin and gave her affirmation with a smile. Hearing what Su Qingyan said, a smile appeared on Nanny Lin's face.

After ordering someone to serve the rice, Su Qingyan ate nearly two small bowls of rice in one sitting, and if it wasn't for Nanny Jin who stopped her, she would probably be overwhelmed.

After dinner, Su Qingyan called Nanny Jin and Nanny Lin to accompany her for a walk in Guanju Palace.

"Mother Lin's cooking skills are good, so I will stay in Guanju Palace in the future. If you have time these few days, you can teach me a few more distinctive Hunan dishes, preferably those that are suitable for older people. "

Because it was made for the Queen Mother, Su Qingyan had to be a little more worried. After all, the Queen Mother hadn't eaten Hunan cuisine for many years, and Su Qingyan was worried that her stomach would not be able to bear it.

"It shouldn't be too difficult to learn, right?" Su Qingyan turned to Nanny Lin and asked her.

"Chen Zhaoyi, don't worry, Hunan cuisine is actually not difficult to learn, as long as you master the ingredients well, it will be delicious." Mother Lin was very happy to be left in Guanju Palace, she answered He listened to Su Qingyan's words, but looked at Nanny Jin.

To say that she is most grateful to Nanny Jin, if she hadn't recommended her, she would not have had such an opportunity, and if she died of old age, she would have to do odd jobs in the dining room.

"That's good." Nodding, Su Qingyan withdrew her gaze and continued to walk in Guanju Palace. When she was almost digested, Su Qingyan returned to the main hall, washed and rested.

"I don't know if the emperor is resting at this time?" Lying on the bed, Su Qingyan murmured to herself, Zitan heard her voice, smiled and comforted her, then turned off the lights and exited the inner room .

Silent all night.

In the early morning of the next day, Su Qingyan got up earlier than usual because she wanted to pay her respects to the empress. After tidying up and having breakfast, Su Qingyan came to Qifeng Palace.

It was neither early nor late, Su Qingyan chose a seat and sat down.

A lot of people came to the hall, as usual, except for Concubine Rong, almost everyone else arrived.

Sitting on the chair, Su Qingyan looked down at the patterns on her clothes. Suddenly, she seemed to feel something and raised her head, only to see Concubine Xian staring at her unblinkingly across from her.

For Concubine Xian, Su Qingyan was a little surprised. She looked back at Concubine Xian, without any intention of avoiding it.

Seeing that Su Qingyan didn't feel guilty at all, resentment flashed in Concubine Xian's eyes, noticing the emotion in her eyes, Su Qingyan probably understood the reason why she was like this.

Presumably, she knew about her affairs in the imperial study, otherwise, she would not have such a reaction.

Although she knew it in her heart, Su Qingyan didn't mean to shrink back. After all, she was not wrong. Even if she was not in the imperial study, the second prince's name would still be given when she went.

"I didn't expect Concubine Xian and Chen Zhaoyi to have such a good relationship. This early in the morning, they looked at each other affectionately." Concubine Rong walked in from outside the hall, and when she passed by Su Qingyan, she noticed that she was with Su Qingyan. Concubine Xian's gaze.

Concubine Rong opened her mouth, Su Qingyan looked away, stood up and saluted Concubine Rong.

"Chen Zhaoyi doesn't need to be too polite, I remember that you and Concubine Xian have always had a good relationship, but is it still the same now?" When she said this, Concubine Rong looked into Su Qingyan's eyes with a playful smile on her face .

"As far as Concubine Rong is concerned, the feelings of 'sisters' in the palace have always been good, and this will never change." Looking back at Concubine Rong, Su Qingyan smiled and said, deliberately emphasizing the word "sister".

"That's right." Raising her eyebrows, Concubine Rong looked away, walked to her seat, and sat down.

Concubine Rong arrived, and a moment later, the queen walked out from the back hall holding Yingluo's hand, and all the concubines got up together and saluted the queen.

Today's greetings are quite calm, there is not so much smoke and gunpowder, the queen only said a few words, and mentioned the queen mother's birthday by the way, and let everyone retreat.

After standing up and saluting, Su Qingyan followed the crowd towards the outside of Qifeng Palace, before reaching the gate of the palace, Yingluo's voice came from behind her.

"Concubine Xian, please stay. The empress is here to invite you." Hearing Yingluo's voice, many people stopped and looked at Concubine Xian. Concubine Xian was a little surprised, but she responded and followed Yingluo back to the main hall. middle.

After leaving Qifeng Palace, seeing Concubine Rong get into the sedan chair and leave, Su Qingyan supported Zi Tan's hand, sat in her own sedan chair, and headed back to Guanju Palace.

"I don't know why the Empress is looking for Concubine Xian?" On the way back, Zitan muttered in a low voice, Su Qingyan sat on the sedan chair, and didn't intend to speak.

Concubine Xian is the Empress's servant. Su Qingyan knew this a long time ago. She reckoned that the Empress' approach to her was probably just to be tricky.

Su Qingyan didn't quite agree with Concubine Xian's attachment to the queen. After all, following the queen was tantamount to seeking skin from a tiger.

Now in the harem, only concubine Xian is the only one who raises the prince herself. Although the second prince is weak, there are so many imperial doctors with good medical skills in the palace who can always help him recuperate his body. The most advantageous concubine.

The queen has no children, and she is destined not to have any children. If she sets her sights on Concubine Xian's child, even if Concubine Xian is a second-rank concubine, she may not be able to escape the queen's tricks.

However, if the empress really wants the second prince, the emperor will come forward to stop it. After all, the empress's mother's family is too powerful. If there is another prince, there is no guarantee that it will not give birth to disobedience...
