Fengming Chen Palace

Chapter 52 Opportunity (addition)
All along, the Empress Dowager hoped that Concubine Chu Guifei would be able to conceive the Emperor's child as soon as possible, preferably a boy.

However, Emperor Chen has never been very keen on going to the harem. Except for the queen, the number of times that other people can see him is really very few.

Although Concubine Chu Gui is a member of the Chu family, it does not affect the emperor's own thoughts.

"Don't worry, find a chance, the Ai family will tell the emperor to go to your place from time to time." Frowning, the queen mother comforted Concubine Chu, she said, Concubine Chu nodded quickly, acting like a baby to the queen mother.

"Let's stay in Shoukang Palace for lunch at noon. It's not easy for both of you to be here."

Glancing at Concubine Chu, then at Xuanyuanqi, the Queen Mother smiled and said, after hearing her finish, Concubine Chu and Xuanyuanqi responded together.

Inside the Chengqian Palace, Zhou Chengren walked in from outside the palace and saluted the emperor, "Report to the emperor, Su Jieyu sent a maid here, saying that she has something to ask to see the emperor."

"Let her in." Emperor Chen was reading a book, and after hearing Zhou Chengren's reply, he couldn't help raising his eyebrows, a little curious in his heart.

Hongxiu entered the palace and saluted the emperor. After receiving the emperor's order, she stood up and explained her purpose.

"Report to the emperor, this servant is ordered by Su Jieyu to deliver this thing to the emperor."

In Hongxiu's hand, he held a pouch with things in it. Zhou Chengren took the pouch after receiving the signal, and handed it to Emperor Chen.

Opening the purse, there was a note inside. Emperor Chen opened it, and it was written in Su Qingning's handwriting. She asked the emperor to lend herself a few books with the titles written on them.

"Zhou Chengren, go find a book for Su Jieyu." Handing the note to Zhou Chengren, the Emperor Chen ordered, and Zhou Chengren responded, holding the note and retreating.

Hongxiu stood in the hall, feeling apprehensive in her heart, it was the first time she was so close to the emperor.

"What is your master doing?" Looking at Hongxiu, Emperor Chen asked.

"When you return to the emperor, the master has nothing to do. He likes to lean on the couch and read a book. Occasionally, he will pull the servants to play flower cards with her."

Hearing Hongxiu talk about flower cards, Emperor Chen couldn't help remembering that Su Qingning made a big face for himself before, thinking about it, a smile appeared on his lips.

"Go back later and tell your master that I want a purse embroidered by her. If I want to ask me for anything in the future, the note must be put in the purse embroidered by her."

Looking at the purse in his hand, Emperor Chen opened his mouth to give orders, and Hongxiu quickly responded, bowing his head respectfully.

Zhou Chengren came back soon, and brought back all the books that Su Qingning wanted. Emperor Chen wrote a note, put it in his purse, and asked Hongxiu to take it back with him.

After putting away the book and purse, Hongxiu returned to Nongyu Xiaozhu and conveyed the emperor's will.

"Embroidered purse? My female celebrity has never been very good. I'm afraid it will be embarrassing again if it is embroidered." Taking the purse, Su Qingning sighed, opened the purse, and there was a note written by the emperor himself, asking her to do it today. In the evening, go to Chengqian Palace to serve the bed.

"It's a good opportunity to come." Looking at Nanny Chen, Su Qingning smiled and said, she was thinking about looking for an opportunity to tell Emperor Chen about the second princess, and now the opportunity has come.

Putting away the purse and the note, Su Qingning asked Hongxiu to put down the book, and she beckoned to Nanny Chen to find something she wanted to show the emperor.

After searching for a long time, they finally found it. After Su Qingning looked at it, her expression was a little ugly, not only her, but also Nanny Chen.

"Then Wan Xiuyi is simply not human. How could the Second Princess do this at such a young age?" Looking at the contents of the book, Su Qingning said bitterly.

Mother Chen said before that there are records in the book that there are things that can make people dependent. At that time, Su Qingning didn't think of what it was, but after reading the records in the book today, she suddenly understood.

Not to mention in ancient times, even in modern times, it is a forbidden thing. Long-term use will not only make people addicted, but will also have a serious impact on the body.

I don't know how much Wan Xiuyi used for the second princess?

Thinking of this, Su Qingning frowned tightly, and Nanny Chen was beside her, her face was also very gloomy.

Folding the page that recorded the things, Su Qingning leaned on the soft couch, just waiting for the evening to come, she would go to Chengqian Palace, and tell the emperor all about it.

…………

After lunch, the Empress Dowager used to take a lunch break, so Xuanyuanqi and Concubine Chu left Shoukang Palace.

After walking out of Shoukang Palace, Concubine Chu Guifei was about to go back to Roufu Palace in a sedan chair, but was stopped by Xuanyuanqi.

"The imperial concubine, you and I are cousins ​​after all, we haven't seen each other for many years, are you in such a hurry to leave?"

Looking at Concubine Chu, Xuanyuanqi smiled, but there was still no smile in his eyes.

"My lord, this palace is now the emperor's noble concubine. If a man and a woman don't know each other, if they are seen, I'm afraid they will gossip." Concubine Chu has always been a little afraid of Xuanyuan Qi.

Back then, the queen mother originally wanted to betroth her to Xuanyuan Qi, but later the emperor gave her a marriage to Xuanyuan Ye, who is now the emperor. When she received the imperial decree, she was relieved, she didn't want to marry Xuanyuan Qi.

Although they seemed to have the best relationship since they were young, only she knew that she was close to him because she was afraid of him.

Obviously in front of people, he always had a smile on his face, but she knew in her heart that it was only on the surface.

"The imperial concubine is right. This king is being rude, and the imperial concubine is going slowly." After hearing Guifei Chu's words, the smile on Xuanyuanqi's face deepened, he cupped his hands at her, and Xuanyuanqi strode away.

Seeing that he was gone, Concubine Chu Gui felt relieved, and she hurriedly ordered to return to Roufu Palace.

As dinner was approaching, Su Qingning packed up and came to Chengqian Palace, holding a book in her hand.

After arriving, Su Qingning sat on the soft couch, flipped through the book in her hand, and looked very serious.

Emperor Chen finished dealing with the matter in hand, came to the side hall, saw that she was reading seriously, and sat beside her lightly.

Su Qingning didn't seem to know all this, she was still reading, and from time to time, she would pick up a piece of snack and ate it.

After a long time, Emperor Chen saw that she had been concentrating on the book, so he couldn't help opening his mouth, making Su Qingning notice his existence.

"Please forgive me, Your Majesty, I don't know that your Majesty is here." Quickly got up, Su Qingning wanted to salute, but was supported by Emperor Chen, he pulled her in front of him, and let her sit on his lap.

"What are you looking at, so serious? I've been here for a long time, but you haven't noticed?" The emperor asked Su Qingning suspiciously, and she picked up the book and presented it in front of the emperor.

"Your Majesty, look, the content in this book is very interesting, especially this thing, which I always feel familiar with, but I can't remember it, that's why I was so focused just now..."
