Abandoned Concubine's Promotion

Chapter 81
"Linglong, where did the emperor go last night?" Sitting on the chair, Qi Xiuyi looked at the scenery outside the door and asked Linglong beside her.

Last night when the emperor arrived at the gate of Ningxiang Pavilion, he suddenly changed his mind and went to another place. Qi Xiuyi knew about this, but she didn't know where the emperor went.
"Returning to the master, the emperor... the emperor has gone to Tao Ranju." Looking at her master, Linglong spoke cautiously, she knew that the master was in a bad mood at this time.

It's no wonder that the emperor had already arrived at the door of the Ningxiang Pavilion, but suddenly left and went to someone else's residence. Whoever it was, he might not be in a good mood.

What's more, now that the master is still pregnant, the offspring should be the most important thing, but...

"Tao Ranju..." Qi Xiuyi's face remained unchanged, but she repeated Linglong's words.

"Master, you are still pregnant, don't hurt yourself because of these things." Seeing her master's appearance, Linglong said with a worried face.

"I'm fine. If you want to blame, you can only blame me for being incompetent. I'm pregnant, but I can't compare to a Jieyu."

When saying this, Qi Xiuyi's eyes flashed a trace of coldness, "How's the empress's body?"

"Returning to the master, the empress is still taking care of her. Now all the affairs of the harem are in the hands of Concubine Rong, Concubine Hui and Concubine Shu."

Seeing that her master changed the subject on her own initiative, Linglong quickly opened her mouth and told Qi Xiuyi what she knew.

"I see. Some time ago, the emperor rewarded me with the best blood swallow. You find it and send it to the empress. Help me with a word."

Beckoning to Linglong, Qi Xiuyi clung to her ear, whispered a few words, and then let her leave.

…………

"Your Majesty, the maid beside Qi Xiuyi is here." In Qifeng Palace, the Empress sat on the bed, listening to the palace servants reading to her, Yingluo walked in from the outer room, and reported to her.

"Let her in." Hearing that it was the person next to Qi Xiuyi, the queen's eyes could not help but a gleam of light, she waved her hand to let the little palace lady who was studying back down, and then told Yingluo.

Blessed, Yingluo retreated with the little maid, and after a while, she brought Linglong into the inner room.

"My maidservant pays respects to the empress." Entering the inner room, Linglong held the superb blood swallow with both hands, and saluted the empress.

"Get up." Looking at Linglong's hand, the queen knew what it was.

"Knowing that the empress is ill, Qi Xiuyi specially sent a servant to bring the highest quality blood swallow to the empress. Xiuyi wanted to come here in person, but it is so inconvenient. Please forgive me, the empress."

Standing up, Linglong presented the top grade blood swallow in her hand, and said respectfully to the queen.

"Qi Xiuyi has a heart. She is pregnant now. It is right not to come. If she gets sick, it will be bad."

Signaling Yingluo to put the things away, the queen spoke in a gentle tone, with a usual smile on her face.

"Thank you for your empress' consideration, Xiuyi even asked the slave to give the empress a message..."

Hearing what Linglong said, the Queen's smile deepened. She looked at Linglong, and after hearing what she had said, Yingluo gave her the reward.

"Go back and tell your master to take good care of your body and strive to give birth to a healthy prince for the emperor."

After receiving the reward, Linglong saluted before leaving the inner room with Yingluo.

After seeing off Linglong, Yingluo returned to the inner room. The queen looked at Yingluo, "What happened in Ningxiang Pavilion last night?"

"Back to your mother, after the emperor left Qifeng Palace, he originally went to Ningxiang Pavilion, but when he arrived at the gate of Ningxiang Pavilion, he suddenly changed his mind and went to Taoranju."

Now the entire harem knows about this matter, while many concubines laugh at Qi Xiuyi, they are jealous of Chen Jieyu, Yingluo naturally knows about it.

"So that's the case, I know." After Yingluo finished speaking, the queen nodded, "I'm a little tired, I want to sleep for a while."

Hearing what the queen said, Yingluo stepped forward, helped the queen lie down, and helped her cover the blanket, then stepped aside, picked up a fan and fanned the queen.

…………

Knowing that the emperor and the empress asked her to help with the palace affairs, Concubine Hui was a little surprised. Speaking of which, she hadn't walked around in the harem for a long time.

Even this year's Duanyang Festival, she didn't show up, but now, she suddenly received such a decree, no wonder Concubine Hui was surprised.

However, since the empress ordered so, even if Concubine Hui is unwilling, she can only accept the order.

"Your Majesty, Concubine Rong is not easy to get along with." Bixi looked at Concubine Hui worriedly after seeing off the eunuch who came to deliver the message.

"Of course I know, but the emperor and the queen's orders have come, so what can I do?" There was a hint of helplessness on her face, Concubine Hui felt a headache as she looked at the orders in her hands.

For the battle in the harem, she really has no interest at all. Now that she has the second princess Bai Lixin by her side, she already feels very satisfied.

"Your Majesty, there are people coming from Yichun Palace." A maid's reply came from outside the palace, and Concubine Hui suppressed the helplessness on her face, and responded lightly.

"Greetings to Concubine Hui." Entering the hall, the red sleeves saluted Concubine Hui, "I am following the order of Concubine Rong, please go to Yichun Palace to reminisce about the old days."

"I shouldn't have refused Concubine Rong's invitation, but at this hour, Princess Xin wakes up from her afternoon nap. If I can't see Bengong, I'm afraid I'll cry a lot."

Princess Xin is two years younger than Princess An, and she is at the age where she loves to cry.

Looking at Hongxiu, Concubine Hui smiled and said, she knew Hongxiu, and knew that Hongxiu was Concubine Rong's confidant.

Hongxiu didn't expect that Concubine Hui would refuse her. She was taken aback for a moment, but soon returned to normal.

"Concubine Hui, please forgive this servant for taking the liberty. Dare I ask when it is convenient for you?"

After all, she is Concubine Rong's confidant, even if Concubine Hui rejects her, she has no intention of leaving.

Hearing Hongxiu ask herself this, Concubine Hui looked at her, and said with a smile, "If it is convenient for the imperial concubine, how about tomorrow? I have had breakfast tomorrow morning, so I will go to greet the imperial concubine."

After all, her status is lower than that of Concubine Rong. Now that she has received the imperial decree from the emperor and the queen, even if she doesn't want to go out, she has to go out. Anyway, she will go out sooner or later, so it's better to set it up tomorrow.

"Since that's the case, this servant girl will go back to the imperial concubine." After getting the answer, Hong Xiu blessed Concubine Hui, and then retreated.

Sending Hongxiu away, Tourmaline returned to the palace, "Madam, are you really going to Yichun Palace tomorrow? You are just a court lady, so she dares to be so disrespectful to you. If you go to Yichun Palace tomorrow, I don't know if Concubine Rong will Embarrassing you?"

Seeing the worry on Tourmaline's face, Concubine Hui showed a smile on her face.

"It's not that difficult, the most is to give this palace a blow, but it doesn't matter, the queen mother is coming back."
