Fengming Chen Palace

Chapter 66 Untitled
"Hmm..." Su Qingning couldn't help but cry out from the soreness on her body. When she opened her eyes, a fragment flashed in her mind, which was about yesterday.

The original owner's capacity for alcohol is not good, but in yesterday's situation, Su Qingning had to drink, so she drank too much. When she thought about molesting the emperor yesterday, she wished she could suffocate herself with a quilt.

In fact, she had some fragments of what happened yesterday. Although she had some memories in her mind, they were not complete. If she knew that she said something she shouldn't have said, she would probably want to suffocate herself even more.

"Master, are you awake?" In the outer room, Hong Xiu heard her voice and asked.

She responded, sat up from the bed, and saw the marks on her body.

Covering her face with her hands, she still remembered some of those hot scenes.

Hongxiu and Hongjin entered the inner room, and helped her get up from the bed. Regarding the mark on her body, the two of them just pretended that they hadn't seen anything.

"When did the emperor leave? Did you feel unhappy when you left?" Sitting in front of the dressing table, Su Qingning asked in a low voice, her voice was a little hoarse.

"Returning to the master, the emperor got up early and left. I didn't see that he was unhappy, but he got up later than usual. Eunuch Zhou yelled several times."

Hongxiu opened her mouth and responded to Su Qingning's words. When she said this, Su Qingning's face turned red. After all, they were crazy enough last night...

"I...was I okay yesterday?" Although some fragments in her mind told her that it was not good, she still asked Hongxiu unwillingly.

"Yesterday, the master drank too much. On the way the emperor brought you back, you cried all the way. After that, the slaves don't know about it. The emperor didn't let the slaves in the house."

Looking at Su Qingning's face, Hong Xiu opened her mouth to respond, Su Qingning almost wanted to find a crack in the ground to sneak in, she secretly vowed in her heart that in the future, besides beans, she would also drink less alcohol.

After tidying up, Su Qingning went out of the inner room and had some breakfast. She drank a lot yesterday, and Nanny Chen specially prepared some easy-to-digest food for her.

After eating, Su Qingning leaned on the soft couch, trying to recall what happened yesterday.

She can remember only so much, all embarrassing things, she dare not think about where she will put her face next time she sees the emperor.

Zhou Chengren came to Nongyu Xiaozhu with fresh fruits, which was specially ordered by the emperor, knowing that she drank a lot of wine yesterday and eating some fresh fruits could relieve some pain.

Asking the red brocade to give a reward, Su Qingning tentatively asked the emperor for his reaction.

"Don't worry, Concubine Su Gui, the emperor is not angry with you, or he won't let the servants bring you fruit." She said with a smile, Zhou Chengren's words made Su Qingning feel at ease.

After leaving Nongyu Xiaozhu, Zhou Chengren went straight back to Chengqian Palace, where Emperor Chen was reviewing the memorial. Seeing him coming back, he asked a few questions about Su Qingning's situation.

"If you go back to the emperor, see that Su Guifei has already sobered up. Just now she asked the servant if you were angry."

Knowing that the emperor cared about Concubine Su Gui, Zhou Chengren quickly responded, the emperor nodded and continued to deal with court affairs.

…………

In Fengyang Palace, the queen ordered Zhihua to send some things to Nongyu Xiaozhu. She knew that drunk people are prone to headaches the next day.

After Zhihua left, she flipped through the accounts in the palace and chatted with Zhishu, "Next month will be the Empress Dowager's birthday. What do you think the Palace should prepare for this year?"

The rules of the birthday banquet can be done according to previous years, but the things to give are embarrassing.

As a queen, she is still a queen who is not seen by the queen mother, Gu Qingluo frowned slightly, obviously not thinking much.

"Your Majesty, according to my servants, the queen mothers on both sides don't like you. Even if you give gold and silver mountains, the queen mother will still have the same attitude." In previous years, the queen had put a lot of thought into birthday gifts, but she couldn't get a good word every time. People who are queens naturally feel sorry for the queen.

"Although I said so, if I don't prepare carefully, I'm afraid the queen mother will be even more dissatisfied with this palace." The queen is also helpless, but she can't help it. It has been like this for so many years.

After hearing the Queen's words, Zhishu couldn't help but sigh, indeed, everything is difficult.

…………

"Nurse Qin, the Ai family's birthday is coming. In the next few days, you invite the emperor to tell him about the Ai family's affairs."

In Fengyang Palace, the Empress is thinking about the Empress Dowager's birthday, and in Shoukang Palace, the Empress Dowager is also thinking about her own birthday.

After receiving the order, Mother Qin complied. The Empress Dowager's birthday will be on the eighteenth day of next month. After thinking about it, Mother Qin will just invite the emperor tomorrow or the day after tomorrow.

At noon two days later, Emperor Chen came to Shoukang Palace and had lunch with the Queen Mother. It was rare that the food on the table was the emperor's favorite.

"I invite the emperor to come here today, because I have something to tell you." The queen mother spoke only after the meal was almost finished.

"Please tell me, queen mother." The emperor is a dutiful son, he knows that the queen mother's birthday will be next month, and he has already prepared the birthday gift of the queen mother.

"Next month will be Aijia's birthday. Aijia doesn't need you to send anything to Aijia. Aijia only has one request, which is to let Qi'er come back to celebrate Aijia's birthday."

"Ai's family is old, and they like the feeling of their children and grandchildren around their knees. I wonder if the emperor is willing to satisfy Ai's family?"

Rarely, the Empress Dowager lowered her posture and spoke softly to the emperor, but her words made Emperor Chen feel uncomfortable.

After all, it's still for the sake of the sixth emperor...

"The empress mother said so, and the minister is naturally willing." Although his heart was sour, the Emperor Chen still complied. His behavior made the empress dowager very satisfied.

"Speaking of which, the emperor is not young this year, but there are only two princesses in the harem. If you want the country to be stable, you must have descendants. The emperor should go to the harem more often so that the concubines can spread their branches and leaves for the royal family."

"Furthermore, Yurou's age this year is not bad, but Ai's family heard that the emperor seldom goes to Roufu Palace. Could it be that he is dissatisfied with Yurou? How about a young woman enter the palace and give birth to an heir for the emperor?"

Looking at the emperor, the empress dowager's tone is still very gentle, the more she is like this, the more uncomfortable the emperor feels.

"There's no need to pick people. Now that the war in the northwest has just been settled, it's not suitable for this. I listen to my mother's advice and go to the harem more often."

There are already Empress Dowager and Concubine Chu in the harem, so the emperor will naturally not let members of the Chu family enter the palace again. Although he promised to visit the harem more often, he did not say where he would go.

The emperor said so, the queen mother nodded, he had already agreed to Xuanyuanqi's matter, let's stop for the time being.

After lunch, the emperor left the Shoukang Palace. The Empress Dowager sat on the soft couch holding Nanny Qin's hand, "I remember, the noble concubine mentioned a concubine named Su before, do you know her?"
