Abandoned Concubine's Promotion

Chapter 38 Pumpkin
After hearing Su Qingyan's explanation, Zi Su was startled for a moment, then bit her lip, "I understand, but...Master, this is the imperial palace, and the imperial physicians in the imperial hospital all listen to the emperor, in case the emperor finds out about this It's..."

After Zisu finished speaking, Su Qingyan couldn't help but frowned. Zisu was right, not to mention what would happen if the emperor found out about it, but if anyone in the harem knew about it, she would have no good fruit to eat .

"Forget it. After all, I thought it was too simple." With a wry smile, Su Qingyan picked up the book on the soft couch, "If you have packed your things, you can go down too. I want to wait by myself."

Hearing what Su Qingyan said, Zisu agreed, and she had already remembered the reward, so she asked someone to come in to help her hold it, and they left the room together.

Su Qingyan was the only one left in the room. She stared at the book in her hand for a long time, but couldn't read a single word.

Thinking of what she said to Zisu just now, she couldn't help but sighed again. Su Qingyan didn't know that when she was talking to Zisu, a figure flashed past the window...

…………

The Dragon Boat Festival is getting closer and the weather is getting hotter and hotter. In recent days, Su Qingyan often feels weak and dizzy.

"Master's complexion is not very good recently, and she eats less and less." Zitan came in from outside the house. Her injuries had completely healed, so she was able to serve Su Qingyan by her side again.

In the recent period of time, she has seen all the changes in her master, and she was worried. She asked for an imperial physician several times, but was rejected by Su Qingyan.

"Perhaps it's getting hotter and hotter, so people lose their appetite. It's not a big deal, so don't alarm the doctor."

In summer, because of the hot weather, Emperor Jing didn't enter the harem many times, but Su Qingyan still went there two or three times, which made the women in the harem jealous.

It was for this reason that she didn't want to call the imperial physician just because she was a little uncomfortable. In this case, she would inevitably be called too delicate.

"Master, Concubine Qi Gui sent someone to deliver something." Zi Su came in from outside the house, bringing a little palace maid with a food box.

"Greetings to Su Jieyu." Blessing Su Qingyan, the little maid spoke crisply, with a very respectful tone.

"Get up, Sister Qi brought me another good thing?" With a smile on her face, Su Qingyan's eyes fell on the top of the food box.

Now in the harem, only Qi Guibi is pregnant, she is naturally extremely delicate, if there is any good thing, she will definitely get a share.

Most of the time, she would order someone to bring a copy to Su Qingyan, so seeing the little maid carrying the food box, Su Qingyan knew that this was another good thing Qi Guifei got.

"Returning to Su Jieyu, the emperor rewarded our master with two gourds, and the master asked a servant to bring one to Jieyu. The master said that if the gourds were put in ice for a while, and then cut open, they would definitely taste better. .”

Hearing Su Qingyan's question, the little palace maid replied with a smile on her face. In the past, she was the one who came to deliver things. After a long time, naturally she became less restrained.

"I see, Zitan, give her a handful of golden melon seeds. It's hard work to go on a trip in such a hot day." Smiling and nodding, Su Qingyan gave instructions to Zitan.

"Thank you, Master Jieyu." The little maid was naturally happy to receive the reward, she quickly knelt down and kowtowed to Su Qingyan.

Without the gift from the little maid, Su Qingyan asked Zisu to take the food box, opened the food box, and the scent of pumpkin wafted out.

This gourd came as a tribute from Fanbang. It is very precious. It is only available at this time of the year. Because the journey is far away, it must be iced and run non-stop along the way to ensure that it can be sent to the palace. The pumpkin is still fresh.

Apart from Emperor Jing, only the Empress and Concubine Rong can eat it. Of course, there is one more Concubine Qi, after all, she is pregnant.

"Take it and put it on ice for a while." Su Qingyan said with a smile, and ordered Zisu, and Zisu responded, and took the pumpkin down.

As soon as he walked to the door, he saw Xiao Fuzi walking towards the door with an eunuch, seeing that the little eunuch was also carrying a food box in his hand, Zi Su couldn't help being a little curious.

"Greetings to Su Jieyu." Nodding to Zisu, Xiao Fuzi brought the little eunuch into the house, and the two saluted Su Qingyan together.

"Get up." Seeing that Xiao Fuzi brought someone in, Su Qingyan waved her hand, signaling the two to get up.

"Master Su, this slave is ordered by the emperor to bring gold melons to Master Su. These gourds came from Fanbang as a tribute, and there are only ten of them in total. The emperor is thinking about you, and specially asked the slave to send two of them to the master. .”

After getting up, the little eunuch smiled and offered the food box in his hands.

When she heard that it was a pumpkin, surprise flashed across Su Qingyan's eyes. She glanced at Zitan, and Zitan understood, and took the food box over.

"Reward." Anyway, he is also someone sent by the emperor, so naturally he will be rewarded. Like the little maid, the little eunuch also got a handful of golden melon seeds.

"Master Su, this servant is leaving first." When the little eunuch came, the little maid sent by Concubine Qi Gui hadn't left yet, now that she has received the reward, there is no reason to stay.

"Wait a minute." Calling the little maid, Su Qingyan hesitated for a moment. Originally, she wanted to ask the little maid to bring back a gourd. After all, she got two, and with the one sent by Concubine Qi, it would be three .

Concubine Qi Gui only got two in total, she gave herself one, and only one was left, the pumpkin is precious, and she is still pregnant, so she should eat more of such precious things.

But after calling out to the little maid, Su Qingyan hesitated. She was worried that if she asked the little maid to bring back a gourd, it would make Qi Guifei think too much.

"It's okay, go back, help me and thank sister Qi." Thinking of this, Su Qingyan smiled again, she waved her hand at the little maid, and said with a smile.

In response, the little maid blessed her body, and then retreated.

The things were delivered, and the little eunuch also got a reward, so after saluting, he also retreated together.

Seeing the new golden melon sent by the emperor, Su Qingyan couldn't help shaking her head. Concubine Qi got the golden melon, so it can be said that she is pregnant, so the emperor favors it.

But I also got a pumpkin, or two, I'm afraid it will make the people in the harem dissatisfied again.

"Master, why do you think too much? You are the emperor's Jieyu. The emperor gave you a reward. Could it be possible that you can still refuse?" Seeing Su Qingyan's expression, Zitan knew what she was thinking, and she quickly opened her mouth to persuade Su Qing Yan, lest she think about it.

After hearing Zitan finish speaking, Su Qingyan smiled and waved her hands, "I'm fine, go and ice the pumpkins, I'm a little tired, go to sleep for a while."
