Fengming Chen Palace

Chapter 46 Request
Lying on the bed, thinking of the dream just now, Su Qingning's heart was full of confusion.

She didn't know whether it was her dream or reality, that's all.

Is he dead?Still not dead?

"Why did you wake up so early?" The emperor's voice sounded beside him, and Su Qingning noticed that the emperor was beside her.

"See, you're in a daze after waking up, what are you thinking?" Seeing her looking at him, Emperor Chen asked again.

"It's nothing, my concubine had a dream." Withdrawing her thoughts, Su Qingning said with a smile, "In the dream, my concubine seemed to be dead and not dead, so after waking up, my concubine felt a little uncomfortable."

This statement is half true and half false. After all, the person in front of him is an ancient emperor. He probably couldn't understand such things as time travel.

"Your dream is scary. Don't worry, with me here, you will grow old safely." After hearing Su Qingning's words, Emperor Chen tightened his arms and let her lean against him.

"After breakfast in a while, let Zhou Chengren take you back. I'm going to Fengyang Palace at noon to have dinner with the queen."

Yesterday, the Empress sent someone to Chengqian Palace to ask Emperor Chen to go to Fengyang Palace for lunch at noon today, and Emperor Chen agreed at that time.

When the emperor said so, Su Qingning nodded, she knew in her heart why the empress invited the emperor to Fengyang Palace.

I just hope that everything goes well today and that Lu Xiurong can take the princess away from Wan Xiuyi.

After lying down for a while, the two got up together, and the palace people came in to serve them. After breakfast, Zhou Chengren sent Su Qingning back to Nongyu Xiaozhu as instructed.

The reason why Zhou Chengren sent it was to avoid unnecessary troubles. Su Qingning's status was not too high. During this period of time, the constant favors would inevitably arouse jealousy.

Before Wan Xiuyi repeatedly made things difficult for her, now that Zhou Chengren sent her off, even if someone wanted to make things difficult, they had to think carefully.

Because of the dream last night, after returning to Nongyu Xiaozhu, Su Qingning was not in a good mood. She leaned on the soft couch, thinking about her doubts repeatedly in her heart.

…………

In Fengyang Palace, Lu Xiurong arrived early, thinking that today, she would ask the emperor to bring the child back, she was very excited.

"Don't worry, it's not even noon yet, the emperor will be here soon." Seeing Lu Xiurong fidgeting, the queen spoke to comfort her.

"Thank you, empress." Looking at the queen, Lu Xiurong thanked him. If the queen hadn't helped her arrange it, she might not have had the chance to meet the emperor.

Although the status has increased, the status is still there. There are so many concubines in the harem, not everyone can see the emperor.

"You don't have to thank me. It's not too late to thank me when the child comes back. It's still too early." The queen responded with a smile, but she didn't say anything, for fear of making Lu Xiurong even more nervous.

When the queen said so, Lu Xiurong nodded, she turned around and looked towards the entrance of the hall again.

The dragon chariot stopped outside Fengyang Palace, and Emperor Chen got off the dragon chariot and walked into Fengyang Palace.

Hearing the reply, Lu Xiurong got up quickly, pressed the corner of his clothes a little uneasy, the empress also stood up, and walked towards the entrance of the hall to meet her.

The emperor entered the palace, the queen and Lu Xiurong saluted the emperor together.

"Excuse me, it turns out that Lu Xiurong is also here." Seeing Lu Xiurong, Emperor Chen was a little surprised, he thought about it carefully, and guessed the general idea.

If it is really the empress who invites her to have a meal, there will be no one else present, the only possibility is that the lunch at noon today is prepared for Lu Xiurong.

"The concubine sees the emperor." Although she saluted before, but now the emperor saw her and called out her position, she was already nervous, so she could only think of saluting again.

After waving her hand and dismissing Lu Xiurong's gift, the empress stepped forward with a smile, and after greeting the emperor to take her seat, ordered people to prepare refreshments.

It's not time for lunch yet, usually the emperor would come earlier when he came to Fengyang Palace for lunch.

After sitting down, Emperor Chen chatted casually with the empress, while Lu Xiurong sat on the chair, feeling very upset.

The emperor and queen were talking, the queen brought the topic to Lu Xiurong, and the emperor followed her words and turned to Lu Xiurong.

"I have something to ask the emperor." The topic turned to herself, Lu Xiurong felt that this was an opportunity, she got up and knelt on the ground, and spoke.

"Lv Xiurong get up, if you have anything to say, just say it." I guessed something before, but now seeing Lu Xiurong knelt down, the emperor knew that his guess was right.

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Standing up, Lu Xiurong said again, "Your Majesty, the second princess was born to a concubine. Before, my concubine's status was low and she couldn't raise a princess. But now, thanks to the grace of the emperor and empress, my concubine is already a third-rank concubine. I have repaired her appearance, I implore the emperor to allow me to let my concubine bring the second princess back to her and raise her personally."

After finishing what she wanted to say in one breath, Lu Xiurong took a deep breath and looked at the ground very anxiously. She didn't dare to raise her head for fear of seeing the rejection on the emperor's face.

"Your majesty, I think it would be better for the child to grow up beside his biological mother." Looking at the expression on the emperor's face, the queen spoke and helped Lu Xiurong speak.

"Send someone to bring Wan Xiuyi and the second princess." Anyway, Wan Xiuyi was the princess who was raised by Wan Xiuyi before, so if you just take her away, you have to give Wan Xiuyi an explanation.

Hearing what Emperor Chen said, the queen ordered Zhihua to go to Yihua Palace and bring Wan Xiuyi and the second princess, Zhihua responded and left Fengyang Palace.

In Yihua Palace, Wan Xiuyi was leaning on the soft couch, beside her lay the Second Princess.

Although her feet were being grounded, she got the news that today, the emperor and Lu Xiurong will go to Fengyang Palace.

Looking at the sleeping second princess, Wan Xiuyi's lips curled up coldly, that Lu Xiurong was really delusional, wanting to take the second princess away from her was simply a dream!
Zhihua came to Yihua Palace and conveyed the queen's will. Wan Xiuyi picked up the second princess, took Jiang Ling, got into a soft sedan chair, and headed for Fengyang Palace.

In Fengyang Palace, Lu Xiurong looked more nervous than before, she turned her head from time to time and glanced at the entrance of the palace.

After a while, there were reports and singing from the palace people outside the palace. Under Lu Xiurong's expectation, Wan Xiuyi carried the second princess into the main hall of Fengyang Palace.

The second princess was still asleep, and the palace man's singing did not wake her up.

Holding the second princess in her arms, Wan Xiuyi bowed to the emperor and the empress, but the empress opened her mouth and spared her the salute.

"Why is Wan Xiuyi holding the second princess in person, where is the nanny?" After giving Wan Xiuyi a seat, the queen asked.

"Qi empress, the nanny is in the Yihua Palace, and the second princess is raised by my concubine. On weekdays, the concubine takes good care of her. Now that the second princess knows someone, during the day and night, she only looks for a concubine, not a nanny."

"Even if you take her away for a while, or take a short rest, she will cry endlessly. I treat her as my own child, so naturally I don't want her to cry, so I always take her with me."
