Fengming Chen Palace

Chapter 434

With Su Qingning's order, Madam Chen found the musician, and listening to the soothing and soft music, Su Qingning's heart became much calmer.

"Master, it's a lot cooler outside now, why don't you find a place with a good view in the imperial garden, and prepare some snacks and fruits. You can watch the scenery while listening to the music, how about it?"

As September approached, the weather was much cooler, Madam Chen suggested.

After listening to her, Su Qingning thought about it, it was not bad, going out to see the scenery is better than staying in the palace all the time.

"Hongxiu, go and invite Concubine Lu to come with me, we can chat." After ordering, Su Qingning asked Nanny Chen to make arrangements and Hongxiu to invite Concubine Lu.

A while ago, Nanny Chen had chosen the place. She went to have a look first, and then ordered someone to decorate it here. When it was almost done, she returned to Yuxiu Palace, and brought Su Qingning together to set up the place. The place.

Concubine Lu was idle and had nothing to do, when she learned that Su Qingning invited her to watch the scenery and chat, she brought the eldest princess along to find Su Qingning.

Su Qingning came one step ahead, stood in the gazebo, looked around, and found that the scenery was really good.

"Mrs. Chen's place is a good choice." Smiling, Su Qingning noticed that no matter which direction you look at here, it has a special flavor.

"Thank you, master, for your compliment." Coming out of Yuxiu Palace, the smile on Su Qingning's face increased significantly.

The first prince and the second prince were accompanied by a wet nurse, and they were also very happy to run around near the pavilion.

Not long after, Concubine Lu brought the Eldest Princess to the gazebo. After saluting, the Eldest Princess went to play with her younger brothers, while she sat down and listened to the music with Su Qingning.

The news that the Queen and Concubine Lu were in the imperial garden spread to the harem, and concubines in twos and threes came to the imperial garden together.

Su Qingning didn't have so many rules, and she didn't hold a conferment ceremony, so she didn't need the harem to pay her respects. However, there were always concubines who wanted to show their faces in front of her.

It would be best to take this opportunity to meet the emperor.

They are doomed to be disappointed. The emperor is busy right now. Besides, Su Qingning is chatting with Concubine Lu in the Imperial Garden to watch the scenery. If he comes, Concubine Lu will definitely feel uncomfortable, so he will definitely not show up .

Seeing the concubines appearing in front of her, Su Qingning waved her hand to signal them to get up.

After all the concubines got up, they stood in the gazebo one by one, although some of them stood properly, their eyes were not at all regular.

"I didn't expect all of you to come, so I chose this place. There are not so many seats. If you don't mind, just sit on the railing in the gazebo."

There are railings around the gazebo, and if there are some cushions, you can still sit on it.

With so many concubines here, Su Qingning signaled the musician to step down for now.

"Thank you Empress for your kindness. The concubines can do it standing up. If you disturb your empress, please forgive me." Among the concubines, someone spoke and saluted Su Qingning. She didn't want to sit on the railing.

She doesn't want to sit, but it doesn't mean that others don't want to sit either. After she finished speaking, someone immediately said, "It's the concubines who disturbed the Empress and Concubine Lu. It's good to be able to sit on the railing. Also, please don’t despise us, Madam.”

"Of course I don't dislike it." Originally, there were only her and Concubine Lu in the gazebo, and it was nice for the two of them to look at the scenery and talk about the children.

There were musicians, and the music was very nice. Su Qingning liked the atmosphere very much, but several people came, and the gazebo seemed very crowded.

Now, Su Qingning is the queen, she can stay in a place, so can others, it's not easy to drive them away, this makes her feel a little irritable, she and Concubine Lu looked at each other, the emotion in her eyes, About the same as her.

"Empress, my concubine's palace has specially prepared your favorite cakes. It is probably suitable to eat at this time. Would you like to go back with my concubine to taste it?"

Concubine Lu stood up and saluted Su Qingning. There were no pastries in her palace, but she knew that neither she nor Empress Su wanted to stay here any longer.

There are a few more concubines in this gazebo, and it feels like there are quite a few more people.

Although it's not so hot now, they all like incense, but it's okay for one person, the incense of several people is mixed together, and it feels uncomfortable to smell.

Right now, Empress Su is pregnant, who knows if there is anything inappropriate in this incense?

"I happen to be a little hungry. I'm sorry, Concubine Lu." She said with a smile, even though there were fruits on the table, Su Qingning just pretended it wasn't there. She stood up and held Concubine Lu's hand.

"The scenery here is very beautiful, why don't you all take a good look at it here. After Bengong and Concubine Lu leave, this seat is almost enough to sit."

Looking at the concubines in the gazebo, Su Qingning said to them with a smile.

Concubine Lu didn't invite them, and they didn't have the cheek to insist on following them.

"Concubine waits to send off the Empress, Concubine Lu." In desperation, several people saluted Su Qingning and Concubine Lu, and the two of them left here with their children and went to Concubine Lu's Yongchun Palace.

Entering Yongchun Palace, Su Qingning sat on the soft couch, frowning slightly, "I wanted to see the scenery and listen to the music with Sister Lu, but it was ruined."

At that moment, she was in a good mood, and the things that were pressing in her heart were relieved a little, but Cheng Yaojin was killed halfway, which abruptly destroyed the atmosphere.

"You are the queen now, even if you haven't performed the canonization ceremony, after all, the emperor issued an imperial edict, and they naturally want to curry favor with you."

The harem is in the hands of Su Qingning. Whether these concubines' lives are easy depends entirely on Su Qingning.

"To please or not to please, I will try my best to make it easier for them. I know what it feels like to be cheated." Having been out of favor once, Su Qingning knows very well what kind of virtue this slave in the harem is.

Back then when she knelt on the Qingshi Road, even a little eunuch would dislike her and block the way. What else could those palace people not do?

"You can understand them, but they may not understand you. I'm afraid there will be more headaches for you after the conferment ceremony is held." After hearing Su Qingning's words, Concubine Lu spoke again. To greet the queen.

"After the Queen's Closure Ceremony is held, I will make a rule that I will go to pay my respects on the first day or the fifteenth of each month, and I don't have to go on the rest of the day. It will save them trouble and me trouble."

The concubines came to pay their respects. As a queen, she got up early and had to sit in the main hall to accompany them.

If there is a discord between the concubines and a few disputes in the palace, she has to make adjustments, which is really troublesome.

It's just one day a month, and it will pass after a while, which is acceptable.

After hearing her finished speaking, Concubine Lu shook her head helplessly. The new queen, like the previous Queen Gu, is a master who is afraid of trouble.

In the past, when Empress Gu was here, I went to pay her respects on the fifteenth day of the lunar new year, but it was good to be here, and two days were directly changed to one day.
