Fengming Chen Palace

Chapter 27 Mother and Son
After Concubine Lu finished speaking, a smile appeared on Su Qingning's face. Although she didn't know whether Concubine Lu could help her in the future, at least, for the sake of the second princess, she would not do anything unfavorable to her.

The two formed an alliance, and Su Qingning kept Concubine Lu and had lunch in Nongyu Xiaozhu.

Looking at the cakes on the table, surprise flashed across Concubine Lu's eyes. She knew that these cakes were only eaten by the emperor. It seemed that the emperor loved Su Wanrong very much.

"The Empress Dowager will be back tomorrow. She is Concubine Chu's aunt. Now that you are favored, you have to be careful. Wan Zhaoyi will not be the only enemy of yours."

Picking up the tea on the table and taking a sip, Pin Lu looked at Su Qingning and reminded her.

She has been with the emperor longer than Su Qingning, and she thinks she knows the situation in the harem better than her.

Now that the two have formed an alliance, she will definitely remind them of what should be reminded.

"Sister, don't worry, I understand." Even if Concubine Lu didn't say anything, Su Qingning would be careful. Concubine Chu is not a light-saving lamp. In comparison, Wan Zhaoyi is much easier to deal with.

When Concubine Lu left, Su Qingning ordered Hongjin to pack some snacks, Concubine Lu accepted it with a smile, and took Rui'er away.

On the way back, Ruier asked Concubine Lu in puzzlement, "Master, then Su Wanrong's status is not as good as yours, why did you form an alliance with her? What if she can't help you?"

"It's strange to say that from the moment I saw her, I felt that she was not a simple person. Do you still remember that she fell out of favor before? But now, she is back in favor again, and it seems that she is even more favored than before."

"Anyway, the situation is already like this, no matter how bad it is, it can't be worse than it is now, can it?" said with a smile, Lu Pin had an inexplicable trust in Su Qingning.

As she said so, Rui'er didn't speak anymore. For her, as long as the master decides, she can do whatever she wants.

On this day, apart from Wan Zhaoyi smashing another set of cups in Yihua Palace, it was relatively calm.

The Empress Dowager's Luanjia returned to the palace in the afternoon of the second day. Su Qingning got the news after waking up from a nap.

For the Empress Dowager Chu, the original owner didn't have a lot of impressions. After all, she was not favored in the previous life and had no chance to get in touch with her. She died before she got in touch with her in this life.

Although the information was limited, Su Qingning was extremely careful with the Queen Mother.

After all, it was the Queen Mother. When she experienced the bloody storm in the harem, she might not have been born yet. Such a person should never be messed with.

She is Concubine Chu's aunt, and from Concubine Chu it can be seen that this Empress Dowager is by no means an idle person.

In the harem, apart from the empress, the last thing you can offend is the empress dowager, otherwise, you don't know how to die.

With such thoughts in mind, Su Qingning was extra cautious. Tomorrow, she was going to pay her respects to the Queen Mother. She ordered Hong Jin to try her best to choose elegant and unobtrusive clothes.

…………

In the Shoukang Palace, the Empress Dowager Chu leaned on the soft couch, and the little maid beat her legs and rubbed her shoulders. In the main hall, Concubine Chu knelt on the ground and saluted her.

"Get up, you are all from your own family, what are you doing with so many ceremonies?" The Queen Mother asked Concubine Chu to get up, and Concubine Chu responded. After getting up, she presented the White Jade Guanyin prepared for the Queen Mother to the Queen Mother.

"The appearance of this white jade Guanyin is very good. The Ai family likes it very much. You have a heart." Ordering someone to put the white jade Guanyin away, the queen mother watched Concubine Chu sit down and asked her a few words with concern.

"You have been with the emperor for many years, and there should be some movement in your stomach. Although you are only in the concubine position now, as long as you can give birth to a prince, the queen will give you three points."

After a few gossips, the Empress Dowager's gaze fell on Concubine Chu's belly. As she said this, Concubine Chu stretched out her hand and touched her belly.

"My aunt also knows the emperor's temperament. He seldom comes to the harem on weekdays. Even if he enters the harem, there are many young and beautiful concubines in the harem. Even if the niece is interested, someone must help."

After all, she was her aunt and nephew, and Concubine Chu didn't have many worries in front of the Queen Mother.

"You, just don't live up to it. Let me find a way to let him go to your place more times." After drinking tea, the Queen Mother shook her head, she said so, and Concubine Chu responded with a smile.

The aunt and nephew were chatting, and the emperor and the queen came to Shoukang Palace to pay their respects to the queen mother.

Seeing the emperor and the empress saluting to her, the smile on the Empress Dowager's face faded a bit.

After getting up, the empress sat down, the empress looked at the empress dowager, and asked a few words with concern.

The Emperor Chen was sitting aside, with a calm expression on his face. He and the Queen Mother had always been like this, and they were not close.

In addition to the emperor, the queen mother also has a princess and a prince. The prince is one year younger than the emperor. Now he is in the fief closest to the capital. The princess is in the capital and has a good relationship with the son-in-law.

The atmosphere of the dinner was a little awkward. There was never much to say between the emperor and the queen mother. The queen mother didn't like to see the queen very much. Only Concubine Chu, because she was her niece, could say a few words.

Because she agreed to Concubine Chu, during the banquet, in front of the Empress, the Empress Dowager asked the Emperor to go to the harem more often and visit Concubine Chu often.

The queen didn't respond to this, and the Emperor Chen nodded his head because he didn't want to have any displeasure with the queen mother as soon as she came back.

After dinner, apart from Concubine Chu, Emperor Chen and the Empress all left Shoukang Palace in the Queen Mother's euphemistic words.

"The queen mother asked the emperor to go to the harem more, and I also think that the emperor should go to the harem more." Sitting on the phoenix chariot, the queen looked at the emperor and said with a smile.

"Then go get Yu Xiaozhu." Without any hesitation, Emperor Chen directly chose the place, and the Queen responded with a smile, and after walking with Emperor Chen for a while, she watched him leave.

After the emperor left, Zhi Hua who was beside the queen spoke.

"Your Majesty, the Empress Dowager doesn't want to see you. This servant can understand, but look at it, the Empress Dowager treats the Emperor the same way? Anyway, the Emperor is also the Empress Dowager's own son. This servant remembers that the Empress Dowager treats the Sixth Prince and Princess Mingyu very well. of."

Such doubts have always troubled Zhihua, since there is no one around, she simply asked.

"Don't say you feel confused, I am also very confused in my heart, but since I married the emperor, the relationship between him and the queen mother has been like this. Perhaps it is because the emperor is the emperor and needs strict requirements, so it is like this Bar."

Going back to Fengyang Palace, the queen responded to Zhihua's question, she said so, Zhihua nodded, thinking it made sense.

"Your Majesty, why didn't you let the emperor go to Fengyang Palace just now? You are the empress, even... you should have a child by your side."

Thinking of what happened just now, Zhi Hua showed disapproval on her face. She has served the queen since she was a child, so she is more comfortable speaking.

"Whether I have any heirs or not, it will not affect my position in the emperor's heart. I like this very much, but the emperor is actually quite miserable. I really hope that there is someone in the harem who can make me happy." He's a genuinely happy man."

　Careful readers who have been following along discovered that almost all the heroines in Meng’s novels have the surname Su, so they asked Meng whether her surname was Su, or the person she liked was named Su. The answer was that Meng liked the surname Su very much, and Shen, Gu, Yan, because they like it, so they have been using this surname, so simple~
