Abandoned Concubine's Promotion

Chapter 314 Surprise
The sedan chair was walking towards Guanju Palace, and when it was approaching Guanju Palace, Su Qingyan remembered that she hadn't gone to greet the Queen Mother for a long time, so she ordered the sedan chair to go towards the Queen Mother's Shoukang Palace.

When Su Qingyan arrived at Shoukang Palace, she heard the faint sound of chanting scriptures coming from the palace. She guessed that it was the Empress Dowager who asked the little maid to read scriptures to her again.

He signaled the palace servants to go in and report, and after a short while, Nanny Lu greeted her and invited Su Qingyan in.

The chanting sound had stopped, and Su Qingyan saluted the queen mother with a very respectful attitude.

"Get up quickly. Speaking of which, you haven't been here for a long time." Greeting Su Qingyan with a smile, the Queen Mother motioned her to sit beside her. Su Qingyan responded and walked towards the Queen Mother.

"My concubine pays respects to Chen Zhaoyi." In the hall, an abrupt voice sounded suddenly, Su Qingyan turned her head to look, and saw Jin Jieyu saluting to her.

She thought it was a little palace lady who was chanting sutras, but she didn't expect it to be Jin Jieyu, Su Qingyan couldn't help being a little surprised.

"So it's Jin Jieyu, get up." With a faint smile on her face, Su Qingyan signaled Jin Jieyu to get up, and then walked towards the Queen Mother again.

"During this time, she came every day to read scriptures for Ai's family." After Su Qingyan sat down, the queen mother patted her hand with a smile, and talked to her with a smile.

"After reading the scriptures for so long, I'm afraid you're tired, so sit down and have a rest. Ai's family just got some good tea here, and I'll make tea for you to drink."

After finishing speaking with Su Qingyan, the queen mother looked at Jin Jieyu, gave orders with a smile, and after Jin Jieyu thanked her, she sat down on the chair in the hall.

Su Qingyan looked at Jin Jieyu, compared to the last time she saw her, she looked less scary now.

Speaking of which, Jin Jieyu would go to pay her respects every day, but Su Qingyan never noticed her.

Soon, the tea was brewed, and was brought up by the little maid, along with the tea, there were also newly made pastries.

"Try it, Ai's family has recently made several new pastries, all of which taste very good, especially this one." Pointing at one of the pastries on the plate, the queen mother smiled and said.

"Before Ai's family had a bad appetite, you asked the Imperial Dining Room to make some hawthorn cakes to eat. After Ai's family ate it, although it was appetizing, it was easy to have a sour stomach. Mother Lu thought of a way to improve the recipe of this hawthorn cake. Now Even if you eat a few more pieces of haw jelly, you won’t feel sour in your stomach.”

The queen mother likes Su Qingyan very much, so when she treats Su Qingyan, she is obviously more enthusiastic than she treats Jin Jieyu.

"Forgive me, Empress Dowager, no matter how delicious the pastry is, I can't eat it, and I'm afraid I can't drink the tea either."

After hearing what the queen mother said, Su Qingyan stood up, blessed the queen mother, and said apologetically.

"But what's uncomfortable? Why can't I eat or drink?" The queen mother didn't react for a while, but Lu Nanny beside her did.

"Congratulations to the Queen Mother, congratulations to the Queen Mother, you are going to be a grandmother again." Mother Lu knows that the Queen Mother has always regretted that there are too few children in the harem. Now that her favorite Chen Zhaoyi is pregnant, the Queen Mother will be very happy .

"Oh? Is it true?" After listening to Nanny Lu, the Empress Dowager stretched out her hand to grab Su Qingyan and let her sit next to her again, "How long has it been?"

"If you go back to the queen mother, the time is still short, so you can't make a diagnosis yet, but the doctor Xia and Miss Xia both said that it is almost the same."

Originally, I didn't want to tell the matter so quickly, especially since Jin Jieyu was still there, but in the face of the Queen Mother's kindness, Su Qingyan had to say, after all, whether it was tea or hawthorn cake, Su Qingyan couldn't eat it .

"Oh, I'm pregnant, so I can't touch tea or hawthorn cakes. Madam Lu, prepare some milk for Chen Zhaoyi, and stop by to see if there are any cakes she can eat. Pregnant women are most likely to be hungry."

"Don't leave at noon, stay in Shoukang Palace and have dinner with Ai's family, Ai's family is happy today." After ordering Madam Lu, the Empress Dowager looked at Su Qingyan and said again.

"Empress Dowager, you can't drink cow's milk. Once my concubine drinks milk, I will have a stomachache and diarrhea. Doctor Xia said that my body is not suitable for drinking milk. Why don't the queen mother reward me with a glass of honey water?"

You can't touch this, and you can't touch that, Su Qingyan felt that she was a little hypocritical, she looked at the queen mother, her face was still apologetic.

"It's not your fault. Pregnant people are inherently delicate. It's Aijia who doesn't know about your situation. Nanny Lu, go and prepare a glass of honey water for Chen Zhaoyi."

After hearing what Su Qingyan said, the queen mother smiled and said comfortingly, "I think back then, when Ai's family was pregnant with the emperor, she was really delicate, and she didn't eat this or that. I was so anxious for the first emperor." .”

Thinking of what happened back then, the Empress Dowager's eyes showed a trace of nostalgia, but thinking of what happened later, the Empress Dowager's face immediately returned to normal.

"Thank you Empress Dowager for your compassion. I originally thought that I would report the good news to you after a few days have passed. However, today is what I want to eat but can't eat, so I have to tell you in advance."

After the queen mother finished speaking, Su Qingyan spoke again. She could tell that the queen mother's mood was not that of the queen mother because she remembered the past.

"It's okay, after the baby is born, Aijia will have someone do it for you." Looking at Su Qingyan's belly, the Queen Mother's eyes were full of expectation, "Does the Emperor know?"

"The emperor already knows. The emperor ordered the imperial doctor Xia to diagnose the pulse because of the delay in the past few days." She nodded, and besides her, the emperor was the first to know.

"If this child can give birth to a healthy prince, that would be great. The emperor's offspring are rare, especially princes. This is the foundation of the country, so we must pay attention to it."

After listening to Su Qingyan finish speaking, the queen mother looked at her belly and said with a smile. Originally, she wanted to say something else, but thinking that Su Qingyan was pregnant at the beginning of the year, she swallowed the words back into her stomach.

For some things, it is safer to tell the emperor.

Sitting on the chair, Jin Jieyu felt very uncomfortable when she saw the Queen Mother's enthusiasm and the joy of Su Qingyan, but even if she was uncomfortable, she couldn't change anything.

Thinking that Chen Zhaoyi was pregnant, Jin Jieyu looked at her belly, a coolness flashed in her eyes very quickly.

I don't know if the queen knows about Chen Zhaoyi's pregnancy, and if she knows, how will she react, no matter what, she doesn't want this child to be born.

Nanny Lu came in from outside the hall with honey water in her hand. She saw Jin Jieyu's reaction, she looked away calmly, and put the honey water on the table next to Su Qingyan. On the small table.

"Queen Mother, the maidservant has ordered the small kitchen to cook some food suitable for Chen Zhaoyi at noon, and now Jin Jieyu is here, do you want to ask her what she wants to eat at noon?"
