Abandoned Concubine's Promotion

Chapter 49 Warmth
When her hand was held, Su Qingyan stopped her movements. She looked towards Emperor Jing, and her eyes met. Su Qingyan saw Emperor Jing's deep eyes.

Subconsciously, Su Qingyan lowered her head.

Seeing her like this, a smile appeared on Emperor Jing's lips, he took the veil from Su Qingyan's hand, and pulled her to sit beside him.

"It's so late, why haven't you slept yet?" Logically speaking, they usually rest at this time. Although Emperor Jing said he came to Taoranju before, he just had an attitude of giving it a try. Unexpectedly, he really came in.

"It's hot, I can't sleep, the emperor came so late, is it because of the heat that I can't sleep?"

The concubines in the palace more or less knew about the affairs of the previous dynasty, and Su Qingyan was no exception, but the harem was not allowed to interfere in politics, so even if she knew, she would not speak up.

"Probably." Emperor Jing nodded, after walking for a while, he felt a little hungry, "Do you have anything to eat?"

"My concubine made some mung bean cakes today to cool off the summer heat, why don't you serve some to the emperor?"

Knowing that her health is not right, but Su Qingyan has no other way for the time being, so she can only eat some mung beans to detoxify and relieve the heat.

She didn't drink the mung bean soup that Ziyuan brought before, and the mung bean cake, because she made it herself and used unused tableware, so she can eat it with confidence.

"You made it? Then bring it to me to taste." Almost none of the concubines in the harem make things by themselves. The so-called self-made things are nothing more than standing aside and directing the palace people to do it. Emperor Jing thought that Su Qingyan did the same. in this way.

"Your Majesty, don't dislike me. I haven't been a concubine for a long time, and I'm a little raw, so it doesn't look good."

Responding with a smile, Su Qingyan called softly, the door opened, and Zitan walked in with her head down.

"Go and bring some of the mung bean cake I made earlier to the emperor. If it's late today, don't make tea and bring a bowl of milk to the emperor."

In response, Zitan retreated, and after a while, mung bean cake and milk were served.

As Su Qingyan said, the shape of the mung bean cake is indeed not very good-looking, but Emperor Jing is a little hungry, so he doesn't mind it.

Stretching out his hand to twist a piece, Emperor Jing tasted it with a small mouthful. He was the emperor, so he had eaten mung bean cakes before, but Su Qingyan's mung bean cakes had a different taste.

Not only that, although the appearance of mung bean cake is not very good-looking, but the taste is very good, it melts in the mouth, making people want to eat again.

After eating several yuan in a row, Emperor Jing finally stopped, took a sip of milk, and then looked at Su Qingyan, "Aifei's mung bean cake is very good."

"When the concubine was not in the palace, she was the most greedy. The cakes made by the concubine's mother were extremely delicious, so the concubine learned how to make them from her mother since she was a child. In addition to mung bean cakes, there are other cakes. If the emperor wants to eat them, I will eat them later. Make it for the emperor to try, but the appearance is not good, the emperor should not dislike it."

Seeing that Emperor Jing liked the mung bean cake she made very much, the smile on Su Qingyan's face deepened.

"Of course I don't dislike it." From Su Qingyan's words, Emperor Jing understood that she really did this by herself, not like others, which made Emperor Jing feel an indescribable feeling in his heart.

"The emperor's fingernails are growing." Su Qingyan noticed it when Emperor Jing took the handkerchief from her just now. She stretched out her hand and pulled Emperor Jing's hand in front of her, then looked up at Emperor Jing, "I will cut a handkerchief for you. cut it?"

There are so many concubines in the harem, even the empress, have never said such a thing to Emperor Jing.

Looking at Su Qingyan's peaceful face, Emperor Jing nodded. He looked at the tool Su Qingyan ordered to cut the nails, and then leaned towards him, wrapping his hands in his arms.

"Don't be afraid, Your Majesty, my concubine won't hurt your Majesty, so please don't move." She said softly, Su Qingyan picked up the scissors, and carefully trimmed Emperor Jing's nails.

Emperor Jing paid attention to Su Qingyan's profile. She was very serious, as if his hands were rare treasures. Looking at her jerky movements, she obviously didn't do much.

"Has Concubine Ai ever cut someone's nails?" Suppressing the strange feeling in his heart, Emperor Jing asked Su Qingyan.

"I only helped my mother cut it once. When I was young, my concubine was naughty, and my brother was also naughty. My mother always cut our nails. Before I entered the palace, I specially cut my mother's nails once. I wanted to cut it for my father. My concubine's father won't let me."

After all, she is a big girl, and she is about to enter the palace as a concubine, so Father Su naturally doesn't want his daughter to cut his nails.

When she said this, Su Qingyan's words were filled with longing, and her voice became more choked up.

"When this year's Mid-Autumn Festival, I will let Mrs. Su come into the palace to see you." Hearing the strangeness in Su Qingyan's voice, Emperor Jing spoke softly.

"The emperor is so kind to my concubine." After a slight pause, Su Qingyan said with a smile, but there are still a long time before the Mid-Autumn Festival. Even if Emperor Jing said so now, who can guarantee that he will still be there in a few months? Can you remember?

However, even so, Su Qingyan still has to thank her, because this is the imperial palace, and the person beside her is the emperor.

The nails were finished quickly, Su Qingyan put down the scissors, and looked at Emperor Jing with a smile, "The emperor will take a look, did the concubine cut it well?"

After all, it was the second time to cut someone else's nails, so Su Qingyan's skills were really not good. Looking at her uneven nails, Emperor Jing smiled and said, "Very good, I like it very much."

When Emperor Jing said this, the smile on Su Qingyan's face deepened. She naturally knew that her nails were not well cut, but she really did it with care.

After all, it would be a serious crime if you cut and hurt Emperor Jing if you didn't pay attention.

"The concubine ordered someone to prepare hot water, it's getting late, let the concubine serve the emperor to take a bath and rest?"

Feeling a little sleepy, Su Qingyan looked at Emperor Jing and asked, Emperor Jing nodded, and soon, someone from the palace entered the room carrying a bathtub with dragon patterns.

Telling the palace people to retreat, Su Qingyan waited on Emperor Jing to change his clothes, and then watched him get into the bathtub.

Leaning against the tub, Emperor Jing looked at Su Qingyan. Even though the two had had physical contact, Su Qingyan still felt a little embarrassed.

Stretching out his hand to grab Su Qingyan, Emperor Jing pulled her into the bathtub with a little force...

Kang Ninghai stood outside the house, looking at Zitan and Zisu who were guarding the door. At this moment, the two lowered their heads, neither intending to talk to him nor responding in any other way.

Kang Ninghai was very satisfied with the two of them, saying that what kind of master teaches what kind of servant, the two court ladies beside Su Jieyu are really good.
