Abandoned Concubine's Promotion

Chapter 8
Zitan thought that since the emperor stayed overnight, something must happen between her master and the emperor, but she didn't expect that she didn't find the red veil on the bed, and she panicked immediately.

"Zitan, nothing happened last night." Hearing Zitan's panicked voice, Su Qingyan understood what she meant. She looked at Zitan with the same expression as usual.

"Master, you..." Zitan hesitated for a moment, and spoke cautiously, but saw a comforting smile on Su Qingyan's face, obviously she didn't care.

If the master is like this, Zitan has no choice but to turn around and continue making the bed.

After everything was packed, Su Qingyan looked at herself in the bronze mirror and made sure that there was nothing wrong, so she took the red sandalwood and headed towards Qifeng Palace.

…………

In Jiaotai Palace, not many concubines came, Su Qingyan greeted the Queen as usual.

"Su Fangyi, get up quickly, among the sisters in the harem, you are the most diligent."

The queen looked down at Su Qingyan who was paying her respects, and said with a smile on her face.

The emperor went to Tao Ranju last night, not only had dinner with Su Fangyi, but also stayed directly in Tao Ranju. Such news spread throughout the entire harem in less than an hour.

"Thank you, empress." The empress's words made Su Qingyan's heart tense. Although her tone sounded the same as usual, what she said always made Su Qingyan feel that there was more meaning.

"What the empress said, could it be that the sisters are all slackers?" Concubine Rou walked in from outside the hall, and greeted the empress with a smile, "That concubine is not obedient."

"You girl, I'm jealous, okay, okay, all of you are hardworking."

After listening to Concubine Rou, the Queen pretended to be helpless and opened her mouth. Out of the corner of her eye, she glanced at Su Qingyan. Seeing her half squatting, facing Concubine Rou, with a well-behaved appearance, she retracted it. own line of sight.

"Yesterday, the emperor stayed in Tao Ranju. Sister Su has worked hard. Get up quickly."

While talking, Concubine Rou looked at Su Qingyan and sized her up from head to toe, which made Su Qingyan feel very uncomfortable, but there was no way, as she had a lower status than Concubine Rou, no matter how much she Look at yourself, and you have to endure it.

This is the disadvantage of being in contact with the emperor, even if it is just a meal, nothing happens, the women in the harem seem to have thorns, and they all come towards her.

"My younger sister has been in the palace for three years, and now it can be considered that the clouds are blooming and the moon is shining." With a hint of sarcasm on her lips, Rou Concubine retracted her gaze and walked towards her position.

Seeing Concubine Rou left, Su Qingyan sighed secretly, walked to her seat and sat down.

This is just the beginning, as there are more and more concubines, I am afraid that I will have more and more troubles.

Speaking of which, this soft concubine entered the palace with her back then, the same batch of beautiful girls, and now she is the only one with a title.

As Su Qingyan expected, the concubines who came to pay their respects all looked at her more or less, and some of them were of high rank, and they also carried warnings inside and outside their words.

"It's getting late, the sisters are all gone." The queen above said, making Su Qingyan secretly relieved, but one morning, she felt as if it had been a few years, and it was really tiring.

Following the concubines, they got up and retreated to the outside of the palace. When they reached the gate of Qifeng Palace, Su Qingyan stood up and watched the high-ranking concubines leave in sedan chairs.

In the harem, status can determine many things. Only concubines above the rank of concubine can take a sedan chair, and the rest can only walk back to their residences.

Not only that, only the high-ranking concubines can leave, and the low-ranking concubines can leave, otherwise, they can only stand and wait.

This is true whether it is a cold day or a hot summer day.

…………

In the Jiaotai Hall, the queen was still sitting on the top seat, and the concubines had already left. The queen looked at the gate of the Jiaotai Hall with a usual smile on her face.

"Your Majesty, Su Fangyi..." Yingluo stood beside the queen, and spoke hesitantly.

"It's okay, it's just for one night, don't worry about it, by the way, I recently got a new kind of incense, the fragrance is very pleasant, you can send some to Su Fangyi later."

After finishing speaking, the queen got up and walked towards the apse. Yingluo responded in a low voice and followed behind her.

…………

"Master, are you alright?" Zitan looked at Su Qingyan with a worried face, and she saw everything in the morning greetings.

"I'm fine, let's go quickly, I'm a little hungry." Woke up early to worry about being late, Su Qingyan didn't have breakfast, and she felt a little empty in her stomach right now.

Hearing what the master said, Zitan agreed, and helped her back to Tao Ranju from the path.

"Who am I in front of? Isn't this Su Fangyi? You are leaving in such a hurry, where are you going?"

Roubi's voice sounded, and Su Qingyan turned to look at the path on her left. Roubi was sitting on the sedan chair, looking at her with a smile.

"Greetings to Concubine Rou." She didn't expect to meet Concubine Rou here, Su Qingyan had the illusion that Concubine Rou was waiting for her here on purpose.

Su Qingyan was not allowed to get up, Roubi sat on the sedan chair, looking down at Su Qingyan.

When she greeted her in the morning, she had already looked at her, and there was nothing outstanding about it.

He has not been favored in the palace for three years, but he suddenly fell into the eyes of the emperor, and he did not know what kind of seductive means he used?
Concubine Rou didn't open her mouth, so Su Qingyan could only half-squat, and her legs felt a little sore after just a while.

But even so, Su Qingyan had to persevere, and moreover, keep her body steady.

"I heard that Su Fangyi met the emperor in the imperial garden before. Although there are not as many flowers here as in the imperial garden, the scenery is also pretty good. Why don't Su Fangyi just enjoy the scenery here, and don't spend too long admiring it. It will be done in half an hour."

After finishing speaking, Concubine Rou raised her hand slightly, and the maid who followed her immediately understood, and said to the eunuchs carrying the sedan chair, "Let's go."

Concubine Rou left, but Su Qingyan was still squatting on the spot, because Concubine Rou had spoken, so she had to squat here for half an hour.

"Master..." Zitan never thought that her master would be punished by concubine Rou even though she had done nothing, but she understood that concubine Rou had a higher status than her master, so her master could only obey.

"It's a pity that you have to squat with me, otherwise, I will ask you to go back to Tao Ranju and help me prepare some food, lest I have to wait when I go back."

Opening her mouth to comfort Zitan, Su Qingyan had a gentle smile on her face.

Su Qingyan had already thought about such things as being embarrassing. She knew in her heart that as long as the emperor never came to Taoranju again, just like in the past, and forgot her, she would be killed by the concubines in the harem before long. forget.

But, can all this really go as she wishes?
