Fengming Chen Palace

Chapter 289 The Harem
In the early morning, when Su Qingning woke up, Emperor Chen was no longer by her side, and the pain in her body reminded her that everything that happened last night was true.

Unexpectedly, the emperor would come in the middle of the night, Su Qingning helplessly stretched out her hand to support her forehead.

After giving an order, Su Qingning sat up from the bed, and Nanny Chen came in from the outer room with someone.

Seeing Nanny Chen's smile that was not a smile, Su Qingning was a little embarrassed. It seemed that Nanny Chen knew everything about last night.

"When did the emperor leave?" Forced to remain calm, Su Qingning asked.

"Your majesty? Did the master remember it wrong? The emperor didn't come last night." Hearing Su Qingning's question, Hongxiu asked with some doubts. Su Qingning was taken aback. She didn't expect this to happen. She looked at Nanny Chen and asked with her eyes. she.

"Master, I did remember wrongly. The emperor didn't come last night." Nanny Chen came behind Su Qingning, took the comb from Hongxiu, and combed Su Qingning's hair. Get a new one."

It's hot today, and I often sweat, Su Qingning specially ordered Hongjin and Hongxiu to change to a new set every day.

Hongxiu responded and went to make the bed. Nanny Chen combed her hair, took out the jewelry and asked Su Qingning, "What do you think of this pearl hairpin, master?"

"Mommy, what's going on?" Su Qingning looked at Hongxiu and saw that she was making the bed, so she asked Chen Nanny in a low voice.

Chen Momo compared it in the mirror, and felt that the pearl hairpin in her hand was really good, so she put it in the bun for Su Qingning.

"The emperor broke in through the back window last night. No one knows. If the old servant hadn't been in the outer room last night, I'm afraid he wouldn't have known." Responding to Su Qingning in a low voice, this matter is related to the emperor's face. Mother Chen Of course not aloud.

"Cross the window?" Su Qingning's eyes widened, and it took a while before she burst into a smile, she really hadn't thought of this.

"The emperor left before dawn in the morning. Just like last night, the old slave didn't dare to open his eyes because he was afraid of embarrassing the emperor."

In response, Nanny Chen arranged Su Qingning's clothes.

…………

Sitting in the palace, Emperor Chen felt a little uncomfortable thinking about everything that happened last night, so much so that he didn't hear the minister's reply.

"Your Majesty?" Seeing that the Emperor Chen did not respond, the old official who had reported earlier asked with some doubts, and raised his head to look at the Emperor Chen.

The Emperor Chen came back to his senses in an instant, and coughed lightly, "What did Aiqing just say?"

"Your Majesty, there are still people from the Chu family fleeing outside, and they need to be arrested as soon as possible. Otherwise, when the Chu family makes a comeback, it will definitely cause trouble."

Hearing the emperor's question, the old minister repeated what he said just now.

"I know this matter well. Since the Chu family's treason, I have sent people to search for the remnants of the Chu family. I am more likely to find them than you."

Emperor Chen has been doing this matter, but until now, the Chu family and Xuanyuanqi have no clues.

"Your Majesty, I heard that the empress's health has been bad recently because of getting married. I don't know how the empress's condition is now?"

The empress is the mother of a country, and her situation has attracted the attention of the officials. Some ministers stepped forward and asked the emperor.

"The empress is still in a coma. I have sent the imperial physician to try my best to treat the empress." Knowing that someone would ask the empress, the Emperor Chen opened his mouth and talked about the 'situation' of the empress.

"Do you have other things to report, Zhu Qing?" After answering the courtier's question, the Emperor Chen turned his gaze around the hall before speaking again. "If there is nothing wrong, then retreat."

The emperor opened his mouth, and all the ministers looked at me and I looked at you, but they had nothing to say, so they saluted the emperor together.

After the court ended, Emperor Chen yawned and walked towards Chengqian Palace. Thinking of what he had promised last night, the emperor ordered Zhou Chengren to send the Guqin to Concubine Han Gui of Qingyun Palace.

"Remember, when I sent it, I said that I like listening to the piano the most, and I also like to watch people draw." After giving Zhou Chengren a few words, the emperor let Zhou Chengren leave.

The news that the emperor went to the harem yesterday spread early in the morning, and suddenly, the harem became lively.

Many concubines sent people to Qingyun Palace to inquire about the news. They wanted to know if the emperor stayed overnight and why they chose Concubine Han.

Hearing that Han Guifei played the piano for the emperor, some concubines in the harem who could play the piano couldn't help but feel ready to move, especially after they knew that the emperor asked Zhou Chengren to give Han Guifei a guqin.

From Qingyun Palace, there was a lot of news. It is said that the emperor especially likes to listen to the piano, and also likes to watch people paint. If he can play, dance, and paint at the same time, he may be noticed by the emperor immediately. From then on The crown of the harem.

What the women in the harem look forward to most is to be favored by the emperor. Now that they finally have some opportunities, they must firmly grasp them.

Originally, some concubines thought about following the example of Han Guifei and others, and went to Yuxiu Palace to give gifts to the imperial concubine and empress, so as to find a chance to meet the emperor, or to set up a friendship with the imperial concubine and empress.

But looking at it now, it is far better to directly win the favor of the emperor than to establish friendship with the noble concubine. In this way, everyone has given up their desire to go to Yuxiu Palace.

Those who can play the piano are desperately practicing piano art in their own residences, and those who can draw are practicing one by one, too busy.

Some people who are neither good at playing the piano nor good at painting simply find someone to form an alliance. The two agree that when they meet the emperor, one will play the piano, the other will dance, or the other will sing and the other will paint. Whoever gets on, the other has a chance to benefit.

"This is a good thing. I said before that the emperor went to Han Guifei's place and listened to Han Guifei play the piano. If it was not the next day, everyone in the harem practiced the piano. Looking at it now, it is indeed so."

After Su Qingning knew about this, she said with a smile, she felt that the emperor's method this time could not be better.

In the next few days, Emperor Chen will go to Concubine Han, either to listen to the piano or to watch her draw, which makes the concubines in the harem both envious and jealous. Only Concubine Han can't express her suffering .

Although the emperor went to her place, he never stayed overnight, and he didn't even have any physical relationship with her. Among them, Concubine Sun and Concubine Zhao came out to make trouble many times, disrupting her original plan.

If it wasn't for not daring to use some aphrodisiacs, it would be too embarrassing. I'm afraid Han Guipin would use some special means.

Yuxiu Palace regained its tranquility, Su Qingning ordered people to invite Mrs. Shen and Mrs. Su into the palace.

The two hadn't entered the palace for a long time, and after receiving a message from the palace, they packed up and entered the palace.

On the way from the palace gate to Yuxiu Palace, Mrs. Shen and Mrs. Su heard a lot of qin sounds, some of them were not bad, some were really hard to hear, which caused a lot of doubts to accumulate in their hearts .
