Abandoned Concubine's Promotion

Chapter 484 After Dinner

The journey went smoothly, Su Qingyan came to the Shoukang Palace, Bailirui also said that he was a little tired, and was drinking water from a cup.

Hearing the reply from the palace people, Emperor Jing's gaze immediately fell on the entrance of the hall. Seeing Su Qingyan walking into the hall, he got up and greeted him.

The Queen Mother and Bai Lirui sat on the couch, seeing Emperor Jing like this, they couldn't help but glance at each other, Bai Lirui's eyes were full of mischief, and the Queen Mother also had a smile on her face.

"My concubine pays respects to the Queen Mother." She wanted to pay respects to Emperor Jing, but was supported by him, so Su Qingyan had no choice but to step forward and salute the Queen Mother.

"You are pregnant now, don't be so polite, just look at it." She smiled, and the queen mother greeted Su Qingyan, and Bailirui stood up and saluted Su Qingyan.

"My lord, you don't need to be polite." Su Qingyan smiled after receiving only half the salute. After speaking, she gave Baili Ruifu a blessing and returned the salute.

"They are all from my own family, so there is no need to be polite. Concubine Chen, sit down quickly. You are pregnant now, so don't be too tired." Seeing Bailirui and Su Qingyan like this, the Queen Mother smiled and said, After that, the three of them responded and sat down.

"The dinner has been prepared, how is it? What's wrong now?" As a woman, the Queen Mother naturally knew the hardships of pregnancy. She looked at Su Qingyan and asked her with concern.

"Thank you Empress Dowager for your concern. The child is not fussy, so there is nothing wrong with it," she said with a smile, and Su Qingyan subconsciously reached out to touch her stomach. The happiness on her face made Emperor Jing's lips unconsciously evoke a smile.

"That's good. Speaking of which, when Ai's family was pregnant with the emperor, it was quite a toss." Thinking of what happened back then, the Empress Dowager glanced at Emperor Jing before speaking.

After the queen mother said so, Su Qingyan looked at Emperor Jing who was beside her, her eyes met, and the two smiled similarly.

Seeing the two of them like this, the smile on the Empress Dowager's face deepened. Now that the post is vacant, the Empress Dowager is very satisfied with Su Qingyan, but I don't know what the Emperor thinks?
The Empress Dowager would not ask Emperor Jing about such matters. Although it was a matter of the harem, she knew that the Emperor had his own plans. If he wanted to tell her, she would know about it sooner or later.

Chatting casually, after dinner, the queen mother was a little bit reluctant and asked Bailirui and others to leave.

"Xiaoqi, if you have been in the capital during this period of time, remember to go to the palace to see the queen mother from time to time." I personally sent Emperor Jing and others to the gate of the Shoukang Palace. Unreasonable, but also had to let him go.

"Don't worry, queen mother. During this time, I will definitely come to the palace to accompany you." He replied, and he will not leave for the time being to deal with the Xiao family's affairs. It is about the emperor's urging the selection of talents.

Seeing that Bailirui responded, the queen mother nodded and watched the three of them leave.

"Your Majesty, I won't bother you and the imperial concubine, I'll just take a step forward." A day after he came out, Dong Ke was still waiting for him in the house, and it was time for him to go back and say something.

"Okay, then I won't keep Brother Huang. Remember to come into the palace tomorrow and talk about the Xiao family." The Xiao family has been locked up, and the next step is to deal with the Xiao family.

Logically speaking, this kind of treasonous crime is to punish the nine clans, but before the imperial decree is issued, it is still necessary to discuss it with the courtiers.

"Understood." In response, after Bailirui saluted, he strode towards the gate of the palace. Emperor Jing took Su Qingyan's hand and walked slowly towards Longgan Palace.

"Ah Qing, she is dead." After a long silence on the road, when he was about to arrive at Longgan Palace, Emperor Jing suddenly spoke and said something to Su Qingyan.

"The concubine heard about this, and the emperor gave the Xiao family a face. You did a good job." Hearing that Emperor Jing's tone was a little darker, Su Qingyan knew that Emperor Jing's mood at this time was not as good as that in Shoukang Palace. performed as well.

"Before she died, she returned the dragon and phoenix that she gave to me when she was married, and the hair that was married when she got married." When she spoke again, Emperor Jing's voice was still very deep. Su Qingyan didn't speak anymore, she understood, At this time, the emperor just hopes to have a good listener.

Su Qingyan was very fortunate that she was Emperor Jing's listener, because it meant that he trusted her.

Not to mention being in the harem, looking at the whole of Xing'an, she might be the only one who can make the emperor speak his mind, which is actually very good.

"Although I know that the Xiao family has come to this day, it is all their own fault, but I still feel a little uncomfortable in my heart, Ah Qing, you promise me that you will always be by my side."

Stopping in his tracks, Emperor Jing looked at Su Qingyan with a very serious expression. Su Qingyan looked at him and nodded without hesitation.

Seeing Su Qingyan nodding, Emperor Jing stretched out his hand and hugged Su Qingyan in his arms. He was not talking, and the two quietly enjoyed the tranquility.

"Your Majesty, shall we go back?" After a while, Su Qingyan leaned against Emperor Jing's arms and spoke in a muffled voice. Emperor Jing let go of Su Qingyan and looked towards her.

"Your Majesty, although I like to be like you just now, there are too many mosquitoes here. I have already been bitten several times." With her head lowered, Su Qingyan looked at the patterns on Emperor Jing's clothes, He said in a muffled voice.

Hearing what she said, Emperor Jing couldn't help laughing, he stretched out his hand, hugged Su Qingyan in his arms, and strode back towards Longgan Palace.

…………

After leaving the palace, Bailirui headed towards the house prepared by Xiao Peng. Now that the Xiao family has been arrested, this house can be lived in casually.

Back at the house, Dong Ke was indeed waiting for him. Although Bailirui had sent Wan Kun back before, but he didn't see Bailirui, Dong Ke was always uneasy.

"Why did you come back now? Is there nothing wrong?" Seeing that Bailirui had finally returned, Dong Ke stood up and greeted her.

"Sorry, I came back late. After the palace banquet in the palace, I went to Shoukang Palace. After all, I haven't been back for so many years. I always have to pay my respects to the Queen Mother."

"I haven't seen you for a long time. Naturally, the Queen Mother has a lot to say to me. Now that I have said it, it's time for dinner. I also finished my dinner before I can come back."

With an apology on his face, Bailirui pulled Dong Ke to sit down. He looked at Dong Ke and recounted what happened today.

When Wan Kun came back, he actually said it too, but he said it was different from what Bailirui said in person.

After hearing Bailirui's words, Dong Ke was relieved, the matter of the Xiao family was settled, and the court was relieved of a big trouble.

"By the way, there is something I want to tell you. The queen mother already knows about the matter between us."
