Fengming Chen Palace

Chapter 28
Su Qingning did not expect that Emperor Chen would come today. Fortunately, this time, she did not make a fool of herself in front of Emperor Chen.

After the salute, Su Qingning sat on the soft couch with the emperor, and the emperor was a little puzzled when he saw the clothes in the room.

"I heard that the Empress Dowager is returning to the palace. I am going to greet the Empress Dowager tomorrow. I want to choose a suitable dress so as not to lose my appearance in front of the Empress Dowager. What does the Emperor think of this set?"

Hearing Su Qingning talk about the Queen Mother, the smile on Emperor Chen's face faded a little. He looked at the clothes Su Qingning had chosen, and nodded.

After getting the emperor's nod, Su Qingning knew that the dress she chose would never go wrong.

After ordering people to put away the clothes, Su Qingning sat beside the emperor. She noticed the change in the emperor's expression earlier, but she didn't ask because she knew that in the harem, sometimes it's better to be confused.

Changing the subject, Su Qingning talked about something else. She talked about the miscellaneous books she had read recently, and told Emperor Chen some interesting stories on them.

Su Qingning's story was told well. Emperor Chen's originally depressed mood gradually improved.

Seeing the smile on Emperor Chen's face again, Su Qingning's lips also curled into a smile.

All the palace people in the house retreated, only two people were there, and as the story was being told, it was told from the soft couch to the bed...

The veil on the bed was shaking, and the soft voices in the tent were full of spring.

The next morning, when Su Qingning woke up, the emperor had already left. Thinking of paying his respects to the queen mother, Su Qingning quickly sat up from the bed.

The passion last night made her waist sore and legs weak, she greeted, Hong Jin and Hong Xiu entered the inner room, and helped her get up.

After everything was packed, Su Qingning didn't care about breakfast, so she took the red embroidery and headed straight to Shoukang Palace.

Walking fast along the way, when Su Qingning arrived at Shoukang Palace, some of the concubines did not come. She was relieved and found a corner to rest for a while.

When she had rested and the concubines had almost arrived, when Wan Zhaoyi entered the palace, the first thing she did was to give Su Qingning a hard look.

Su Qingning didn't care about Wan Zhaoyi's situation. Last night she was the bedside attendant, not to mention Wan Zhaoyi. The other concubines didn't look good when they saw her.

Standing quietly, Su Qingning understood that in this Shoukang Palace, no one dared to trouble her.

Accompanied by the queen and concubine Chu, the queen mother came out of the apse. Su Qingning, along with all the concubines, greeted the queen mother.

Greeting all the concubines to get up, the Queen Mother's voice sounded very peaceful.

Su Qingning knew in her heart that the higher-ups, the more they were, the more careful they should be.

The Empress Dowager was not a talkative person, after saying a few words, she let the crowd disperse, Su Qingning saluted with all the concubines, and retreated outside the hall.

After leaving Shoukang Palace, thinking of Wan Zhaoyi's stare at her earlier, a thought suddenly came to Su Qingning's heart.

At this time, the emperor has not yet come to court, according to the memory in his mind, when he goes to court, he will pass a small road, which can lead to Nongyu Xiaozhu and also to Yihua Palace.

Before, I dug a hole for Wan Zhaoyi, but now, it's time to dig a deeper hole. If I'm lucky, I might be able to gain something this time.

Thinking of this, Su Qingning took the red embroidery, took a small road, and headed towards her destination.

…………

Wan Zhaoyi sat on the sedan chair, thinking that the emperor went to Nongyu Xiaozhu again last night, she felt very unhappy in every possible way.

She was different from Su Qingning, she walked along the palace road, and when she reached the path, Su Qingning had already arrived.

Walking on the path, Su Qingning secretly counted in her heart, she reckoned that Wan Zhaoyi was coming soon.

Because she was sitting on the sedan chair, Wan Zhaoyi's field of vision was wider, and she saw Su Qingning at a glance.

"Jiang Ling, the one in front is Su Wanrong?" Staring at her back, Wan Zhaoyi asked Jiang Ling.

Hearing Wan Zhaoyi's question, Jiang Ling looked forward, surprise flashed in her eyes, she couldn't figure out why Su Wanrong appeared in front of them.

You know, the hierarchy in the harem is strict, no matter where it is, the high-ranking concubines go first, and then the low-ranking concubines.

Su Wanrong is only from the sixth rank, there are many concubines in front of her, her master is the third rank Zhaoyi, so naturally she should go first.

It stands to reason that Su Wanrong should be walking in front, but now, the one walking in front is Su Wanrong.

There was a strange feeling in Jiang Ling's heart, but she couldn't tell what was wrong.

"If you go back to Madam, it is indeed Su Wanrong, Madam, this servant finds it very strange that Su Wanrong's status should not be ahead of you."

Speaking out the doubts in her heart, Jiang Ling was thinking to remind her master so that she would not suffer any disadvantages, but unexpectedly, Wan Zhaoyi's eyes lit up immediately after she finished speaking.

"Yes, according to her status, she shouldn't be in front of this palace, but now, she is in front of this palace. She stops!"

Staring at Su Qingning's back, Wan Zhaoyi's eyes flashed with excitement. Last time, she was so glib that she failed to punish her properly. This time, she will definitely make her kneel here for two hours!
Jiang Ling knew that she couldn't persuade herself, she sighed in her heart, and called Su Qingning in front of her.

Hearing the voice, Su Qingning's eyes also flashed with excitement, this Wan Zhaoyi is still very easy to deceive, although he has to suffer some grievances, but if there is something to gain, it is okay to be wronged.

Turning around, the emotion in Su Qingning's eyes had been well concealed. She looked at Wan Zhaoyi with surprise on her face.

After saluting to Wan Zhaoyi, Su Qingning's attitude was the same as usual, and no one could find fault with it.

"According to the rules in the palace, concubines with low status should walk behind, Su Wanrong, are you guilty?" Without letting Su Qingning get up, Wan Zhaoyi sat on the sedan chair and looked down at Su Qingning.

"I know that the emperor went to your place last night, but you shouldn't be arrogant because of your favor. I will punish you for serving the emperor last night. I will punish you to kneel here for two hours. This time, you will be considered the empress." The empress knows, and she won't blame Bengong."

Looking at Su Qingning with a sneer, Wan Zhaoyi felt complacent. She knew about Su Qingning's "fainting" and asked the imperial doctor before. At first, she was worried that the emperor would be angry because of it, but until today, she didn't see the emperor coming. She thought it was all right .

That being the case, she doesn't need to be scruples, if she can seize the opportunity to deal with Su Wanrong, she can't let her go.

Even if she didn't raise her head, Su Qingning could still imagine Wan Zhaoyi's pride at this time.

Sighing in her heart, this time, Su Qingning didn't make any excuses for herself, she knelt on the ground, her posture lowered to the extreme.

Right now, Wan Zhaoyi is high and high, but in the next second, she may fall down hard. It is not certain who will win the game today...
