Abandoned Concubine's Promotion

Chapter 74 Gentleness
Zi Su happily returned to Tao Ranju, knowing that the emperor came to have dinner at night, the palace people in Tao Ranju were very happy.

"Mommy, the previous emperor came here just now, and if he comes here again today, if he stays overnight, I'm afraid there will be another turmoil tomorrow."

Although this was expected, Su Qingyan felt a headache just thinking about what might happen tomorrow.

"Master, why bother to think about those things? The most important thing right now is solid favor. Forgive me for saying this, my master's current status is really too low. Although I have a title, as long as I have a higher rank than you, I can handle you, so the top priority is, It’s better to raise the position.”

After listening to Su Qingyan's words, Nanny Jin smiled and said, in all these years in the palace, it was the first time she saw a concubine worrying about serving her bed.

Even the Concubine Xing who she served back then tried every means to figure out how to keep the late emperor.

"I see, go and prepare for me." Su Qingyan knew very well that what Nanny Jin said was correct, so she waved her hand and signaled Nanny Jin and others to go down and make preparations.

…………

When Emperor Jing came to Tao Ranju, Su Qingyan was leaning on the soft couch to read as usual.

After dismissing the crowd, Emperor Jing walked lightly to the soft couch, and then sat beside Su Qingyan.

"Every time I come here, Ah Qing is reading. Have you read all the books that I sent people before?"

For a long time, Su Qingyan didn't respond, Emperor Jing had no choice but to speak softly to show his presence.

"Your Majesty..." Emperor Jing's voice came suddenly, and Su Qingyan quickly raised her head, seeing him looking at her helplessly, feeling a little embarrassed.

"Ah Qing really likes reading." Stretching out his hand to take the book from Su Qingyan's hand, Emperor Jing glanced at the writing, it was travel notes, "especially travel notes?"

"This book was sent to my concubine by the emperor's order. It's very beautiful." Su Qingyan said with a smile, took the book back, and then took the flower stick on the little table and put it in the book.

Looking at the book put away by Su Qingyan, Emperor Jing couldn't help remembering what she had said when he was walking in the small garden.

All of a sudden, Emperor Jing's eyes were deep, and if she had reached this level, did she still want to leave?
"Your Majesty?" Seeing Emperor Jing staring at her, with something she couldn't understand flashing in her eyes, Su Qingyan couldn't help feeling a little flustered, she stretched out her hand to grab his arm, and called him in a low voice.

"Ah Qing's cakes are delicious, I've already eaten them all." Su Qingyan's voice woke Emperor Jing from his thoughts, he smiled and changed the subject.

"If the emperor likes it, I will often make it for the emperor in the future." Su Qingyan is naturally happy when her cooking is recognized.

"Dinner is probably ready, let's get ready for dinner." Emperor Jing smiled and reached out to shake Su Qingyan's hand, but just as he touched her, she shrank back.

"What's wrong?" He reached out and grabbed Su Qingyan's wrist, and pulled her hand in front of him. Looking carefully, Emperor Jing realized that her fingers were a little red and swollen, "What's wrong?"

In an instant, Emperor Jing frowned, subconsciously thinking of those concubines in his harem.

"Your majesty, I'm fine, I blame myself for being careless..." She said a little embarrassedly, the injury on her finger was the result of being accidentally washed by the heat today.

After all, it was because she hadn't cooked anything for a long time that she was a little excited when the food was ready, forgetting that when the food just came out of the pan, the heat would be very hot.

Fortunately, she took her hand away only for a moment, otherwise it must have been more serious.

Looking at Su Qingyan's appearance, Emperor Jing understood that her hand had nothing to do with the concubines in the harem, she must have hurt it while making cakes.

Thinking of this, Emperor Jing looked at Su Qingyan with more gentle eyes. He carefully brought Su Qingyan's hand to his lips, and gently blew on her hand.

"In a while, I will ask Kang Ninghai to fetch some wound medicine for you. Ah Qing's hands are so beautiful, if you leave any wounds, I will feel sorry for you."

"Thank you, Your Majesty." It is undeniable that Su Qingyan's heart softened just now when Emperor Jing carefully helped her blow, but thinking of the concubines in the harem, Su Qingyan carefully covered that softness.

Lifting Su Qingyan from the soft couch, Emperor Jing put his arms around her waist and brought her to the table together.

The dinner was ready, seeing Emperor Jing and Su Qingyan sitting at the table, Kang Ninghai ordered someone to bring the dinner.

After dinner, Emperor Jing accompanied Su Qingyan for a walk in Tao Ran Residence as usual.

"What's that?" As he walked, Emperor Jing saw the small stove in the corner, which was specially made by Nanny Jin, for the convenience of boiling medicine for Su Qingyan.

"The concubine was poisoned before, although the poison was cleared, but her body was still weak. It happened that the Jin Nai, whom the emperor chose for the concubine, could cook medicinal food, so she and the imperial doctor Xia came up with a medicinal food recipe to help the concubine take care of her body."

Seeing the small stove, Su Qingyan smiled and said, "Speaking of which, I made cakes for the emperor today, thanks to this small stove."

"I see." Nodding his head, Emperor Jing glanced at the small stove in the corner again, and then walked in another direction with Su Qingyan.

In the evening, Emperor Jing naturally stayed in Tao Ran's residence. Unlike last time, Emperor Jing today was very gentle. He leaned next to Su Qingyan's ear, calling her name in a low voice.

Emperor Jing's voice was already very nice. Su Qingyan put her arms around his neck, allowing him to lead her ups and downs. Listening to his voice, Su Qingyan once again felt that the softness in her heart seemed to be expanding. some...

After waking up again, it was dawn and Emperor Jing was not around. Su Qingyan listened carefully and found that the inner room was very quiet.

"Red sandalwood?" He called softly, and soon, red sandalwood and Zisu entered the inner room together.

"Master, are you awake? Qifeng Palace sent someone over, saying that the Empress is not feeling well, so this morning's greeting was omitted."

Zitan stepped forward to hang up the veil, and then helped Su Qingyan up, "The emperor wanted to wait for the master to have dinner together, but knowing that the empress was not feeling well, he went directly to Qifeng Palace."

"What's the matter, Empress?" Getting up from the bed, Su Qingyan sat at the table holding Zitan's hand, and asked her.

"I heard that it's an old illness. Yesterday, the empress felt unwell, and the emperor went to see the empress. Today, it seems that the condition has worsened."

Hearing Su Qingyan's question, Zitan hurriedly answered, after all, the queen was ill, which was considered a major event.

"I see, help me wash and change my clothes. After breakfast, I'm going to Qifeng Palace to see the Empress. Go on."
