Abandoned Concubine's Promotion

Chapter 497
"This year's lotus blooms really well, even better than last year." With nothing to do, Su Qingyan asked Zixuan to invite Concubine Zhuang to Longgan Palace, and the two went to the lotus pond together to watch the lotus.

Because Pinellia's face hadn't subsided from swelling, Concubine Zhuang was accompanied by other palace servants. Su Qingyan looked at Concubine Zhuang and said with a smile.

"Yes, this year's lotus blooms very well." Concubine Zhuang entered the palace last year, so she had seen the lotus last year.

"Come on, let's go over there and have a look." Stretching out her hand and pointing to a location not far ahead, Su Qingyan lifted her foot and walked towards that side. Concubine Zhuang responded and led others to follow.

The palace people followed behind the two of them, Concubine Zhuang supported Su Qingyan's hand, and walked towards the direction she pointed.

Before reaching the place, Concubine Zhuang's footsteps could not help but pause. Su Qingyan looked at her, and seeing her gaze was on a certain place, she followed her gaze and looked over.

It's Concubine Xian...

Seeing Concubine Xian, Su Qingyan couldn't help but smile, "It's rare to meet her, let's go and have a look."

When Su Qingyan said so, Concubine Zhuang responded, and supported her to walk in the direction of Concubine Xian. She noticed that Concubine Chen, who was supporting her, seemed to be in a very good mood at this moment.

"Your Majesty, Imperial Concubine Chen and Concubine Zhuang are here." Concubine Xian was staring at the lotus pond in a daze, not noticing the arrival of Su Qingyan and Concubine Zhuang, but Linglong noticed their approach, turned her head and whispered to Xian The concubine reported back.

Hearing Linglong's voice, Concubine Xian came back to her senses, turned her head and took a look, and seeing the two approaching, she got up and wanted to leave.

For some reason, she just didn't want to have too much contact with Su Qingyan, and she didn't care whether she was guilty or anything else.

"I didn't expect to meet Concubine Xian here. From the looks of it, Concubine Xian also likes lotus flowers." As if seeing Concubine Xian's thoughts, Su Qingyan who was not far away spoke, making Concubine Xian stop in her tracks.

"My concubine pays her respects to Concubine Chen." Concubine Xian is a concubine, so when she saw Su Qingyan who was a concubine, she naturally wanted to salute.

"Concubine Xian doesn't need to be polite, get up quickly." When she got closer, Su Qingyan smiled and said, Concubine Xian stood up, watching Concubine Zhuang salute to herself.

"Bold maidservant, how dare you look directly at the imperial concubine? How presumptuous!" Just as she stood up, Zitan's voice came over. Concubine Zhuang looked at Concubine Xian, only to see Linglong beside her, who was panicking.

"Baby maid, hurry up and kneel down!" Seeing the panic on Linglong's face, Zitan spoke again, and Linglong glanced at Concubine Xian, asking for help.

"What? Do you want me to speak in person?" Seeing Linglong like this, Su Qingyan spoke in a flat tone, with the majesty of a superior in her words.

Even Su Qingyan opened her mouth, Linglong quickly looked away, and knelt straight on the ground. Concubine Xian looked at Linglong who was kneeling on the ground, and couldn't help biting her lip.

"It seems that Concubine Xian's rules are not taught well." Turning her gaze to Concubine Xian's face, Su Qingyan's tone was the same as before, still indifferent, even the majesty in her words , neither has changed.

"I beg your concubine to forgive me, I will definitely discipline my servants well." While speaking, Concubine Xian turned around and slapped Linglong twice.

It could be heard that Concubine Xian had used all her strength, but Linglong's face immediately turned red with just two left and right strokes.

"What is Concubine Xian doing? No matter what, Linglong is someone by your side. If you have anything to say, just say it. Why did you do it?" Looking at Linglong's face, Su Qingyan spoke again. .

Hearing what she said, Concubine Xian's expression was unavoidably ugly. She was worried that Su Qingyan would let the people around her beat Linglong like she did before, so she wanted to preemptively strike. After she hit someone, she said something like this.

"It's my concubine who has been reckless, please forgive my sin." Concubine Xian saluted Su Qingyan, her tone was very respectful, even though her heart was full of anger at this moment, she didn't dare to show it on her face.

"Concubine Xian is a mother after all, so she should restrain her temper. Otherwise, how can she educate the second prince well? Children always follow the elders as their role models."

"Although the second prince is still young, sooner or later he will grow up. Concubine Xian should pay more attention to it in the future." Looking at Concubine Xian who was bowing to her, Su Qingyan spoke softly.

At this time, her tone was as if she was exchanging ideas with a friend, without the majesty she had just now. With Su Qingyan like this, Concubine Xian had no choice but to respond and stood up straight again.

"The palace people around Concubine Xian don't have good manners, and they always have to teach them well, but Concubine Xian can't teach this rule in person, lest it break the friendship between your master and servant, Zitan, teach Linglong the rules .”

"Imperial concubine!" As soon as Su Qingyan finished speaking, Concubine Xian immediately looked up at her, with a hint of anger in her voice, Su Qingyan didn't care about her.

"What? Concubine Xian has any objections to this palace's words? On the day when the emperor conferred the title of imperial concubine on this palace, he gave this palace the right to assist the six palaces. Although this palace is pregnant now, she seldom participates in the affairs of the harem. Disciplining a palace man, this palace should have this right."

Looking at Concubine Xian, Su Qingyan's tone changed from gentle before to tough, "Concubine Xian, don't do to others what you don't want to be done to others. Now, I'm just taking everything you've imposed on others before, and you're still doing it. That's all for you."

"Besides, Concubine Xian should know what the crime is for the real offender? Just because she looked directly at me just now, I can punish her for a crime of disrespect. At that time, it will not be such a punishment. .”

Su Qingyan said this, making Concubine Xian understand that Linglong's beating today is a certainty. Thinking of this, she couldn't help saying angrily, "I don't dare, everything depends on the imperial concubine and empress."

"Red sandalwood." Hearing what Concubine Xian said, Su Qingyan didn't say anything more, she looked at red sandalwood and gave orders.

In response, Zitan stepped forward and came to Linglong's side. She greeted Linglong's face from left to right just like Linglong hit Pinellia before.

Soon, Linglong's face became swollen. Seeing that she was almost done, Su Qingyan spoke and signaled Zitan to stop.

Concubine Zhuang stood beside Su Qingyan, looking at what happened before her, she couldn't help feeling very grateful, how could she fail to see that Imperial Concubine Chen did this to vent her anger.

"It's getting late, in a while, the sky will be hot, let's go back." Looking at Concubine Xian again, Su Qingyan supported Concubine Zhuang's hand, turned around and headed back to Longgan Palace.

Although Concubine Xian was reluctant, she had no choice but to salute Su Qingyan until she was far away, then Concubine Xian got up with hatred in her eyes.
