Fengming Chen Palace

Chapter 70 Shocking News
"I send my respects to the queen mother, and wish the queen mother good health and blessings forever." Entering the Shoukang Palace, Xuanyuanqi saluted the queen mother.

Seeing him, the Empress Dowager immediately showed a smile on her face. Although he didn't leave until fifteen years ago, and it's only a few months now, she always thought about him.

Seeing it now, she was naturally happy in her heart, she hurriedly greeted Mother Qin and helped Xuanyuanqi up.

Asking him to sit beside her, the queen mother asked a few words with concern, knowing that everything was fine with him, and that the side concubine was pregnant, she felt even happier.

Holding Xuanyuan Qi's hand, the mother and son talked affectionately, the Emperor Chen also knew the news of his return to the capital, and the Emperor Chen also knew about his coming into the palace.

Sitting in the main hall of Chengqian Palace, the emperor was reviewing the memorial. Zhou Chengren walked in lightly and put the brewed tea by the emperor's side. He could feel that the emperor was not in a good mood.

This is also normal, after all the sixth prince is back, although the two are brothers, they have not been on good terms since childhood.

Because the Empress Dowager loves the Sixth Prince, he likes to compete with the Emperor in everything. If the previous emperor hadn't learned from him and made the Emperor the crown prince, the current throne would be the Sixth Prince's.

Now the throne belongs to the emperor, but because of his childhood habits, the sixth prince is not very respectful to the emperor.

Most of the time, Zhou Chengren was thinking that Princess Mingyu and the Sixth Prince were really different because they were both born to the same mother. The relationship between her and the emperor was very good.

…………

"Report to the Empress Dowager, Princess Mingyu has arrived." Outside the Shoukang Palace, the voice of the palace people's reply came, and the Empress Dowager responded, and Princess Mingyu entered the palace.

"Greetings to Queen Mother, Queen Mother Jin'an." Saluting to Queen Mother, Princess Mingyu had a smile on her face.

"Get up quickly, why are you free?" Although she was born to the Empress Dowager, Princess Mingyu seldom came to the palace because she was married.

"I heard that Brother Huang is back, so I went into the palace to have a look, and tell the Queen Mother the good news." Smiling and getting up, Princess Mingyu found a chair and sat down.

"What good news?" Hearing what Princess Mingyu said, the smile on the Empress Dowager's face deepened.

"You are going to be a grandmother again." Stretching out her hand to touch her lower abdomen, Princess Mingyu responded to the Queen Mother. Her last child was born in Dongyue last year, and it didn't take long.

"So soon?" The queen mother frowned, after all, she was her own daughter, so of course she felt distressed.

The previous child was too close to this child, and the Queen Mother was very worried about Princess Mingyu's health.

"It's really faster. I asked the imperial doctor to look at it and said that it's okay to take good care of it." Knowing that the Queen Mother cares about her, Princess Mingyu comforted her, "My son thought, the queen mother has the most good things here, so I came here. Ask your mother for some."

"I can't do without you. I'll let Nanny Qin choose some good ones in a while, and bring them back to the mansion when you go back. You have to take good care of them."

Seeing the young daughter's coquettish look, the queen mother said with a smile, she turned her head and gave some instructions to Nanny Qin, and Nanny Qin responded and retreated.

"The queen mother's birthday is coming soon. I wonder if the emperor came back, but what treasures did he bring?" Although Princess Mingyu is closer to the emperor, Xuanyuanqi is also her own brother after all. No matter what the reason is, he always wants to say a few words of.

"The imperial sister will know when the time comes. If I had known that you were pregnant, I would have brought you something from the fief. It just so happened that the side concubine in my mansion was also pregnant, and the concubine bought a lot of nourishing things. "

Looking at Princess Mingyu, Xuanyuanqi spoke, the brother and sister chatted casually, and the queen mother sat beside her, very happy.

For dinner, the brother and sister accompanied the Queen Mother. Originally, Princess Mingyu wanted to invite the Emperor, but considering the Queen Mother's reaction last time, she had no choice but to give up.

After dinner, Xuanyuanqi stayed and Princess Mingyu took her leave first. She did not leave the palace immediately, but went to the Emperor's Chengqian Palace.

When she came to Chengqian Palace, Su Qingning was there, and Princess Mingyu looked at her. Although she was outside the palace, she had heard of Su Qingning.

She was looking at Su Qingning's kung fu, and Su Qingning was also looking at her. She knew that Princess Mingyu was the empress dowager's biological daughter, the emperor's biological sister, and had a very good relationship with the emperor.

The emperor was very happy to see Princess Mingyu coming, and the three entered the hall together, the emperor asked Princess Mingyu a few words with concern.

Knowing that she was pregnant, the emperor specially ordered Zhou Chengren to prepare a lot of good things for Princess Mingyu.

The brothers and sisters had a tacit understanding and didn't mention the matter of Shoukang Palace.

Seeing that it was getting late, Princess Mingyu left, and Emperor Chen ordered Zhou Chengren to personally send her to the gate of the palace and watch her get into the carriage.

Princess Mingyu left, and Su Qingning also returned to Nongyu Xiaozhu. She had already planned to send the Buddhist scriptures to Shoukang Palace to the Queen Mother on May [-]th.

Before that, the emperor could not stay in her Nongyu Xiaozhu, nor could she stay in Chengqian Palace.

The [-]th day of May was coming soon, Su Qingning had had breakfast, after tidying up, she went to Shoukang Palace with the Buddhist scriptures in her hands.

After arriving at Shoukang Palace, Su Qingning went straight to the main hall. What surprised her was that although the door of the main hall was open, there was no one guarding it.

She stood at the entrance of the hall, hesitating whether to enter, or should she open her mouth to report back, and then enter?

Just as she was thinking, there was a faint quarrel in the hall, Su Qingning was taken aback for a moment, then frowned and listened.

It was the Empress Dowager and Xuanyuanqi who were arguing in the palace. Yesterday Xuanyuanqi stayed in Shoukang Palace without leaving the palace.

This is unreasonable, but the queen mother allowed it, and the emperor didn't say anything, and others couldn't say anything.

What Su Qingning could hear, Hongxiu could also hear. She looked nervous and looked around, for fear that others would see them eavesdropping.

Su Qingning didn't care too much, because at this moment, her mind was attracted by the voice in the hall.

Just now she clearly heard the sentence "not my own life", she was a little puzzled, this sentence is not my own life, who is it aimed at?
Six princes?It's unlikely, I heard that the Empress Dowager treats the Sixth Prince very well. In this case, it is impossible that the Sixth Prince is not his own, but it is the Empress Dowager who treats the Emperor...

Could it be that the emperor was not born to the empress dowager?
Thinking of this, Su Qingning was a little startled, thinking of what Nanny Chen had said before, Su Qingning bit her lip.

She knew that she couldn't continue listening.

"Report to the Empress Dowager, Nongyu Xiaozhu, Concubine Su Gui, please see me." Su Qingning opened his mouth, and reported back to the hall. Suddenly, the voices in the hall became quiet.

After a while, the queen mother's voice came. Su Qingning looked at Hongxiu, her face was still a little panicked.

"You wait here for me, or go back first." After ordering, Su Qingning held the Buddhist scriptures and entered the hall alone. Hongxiu quickly calmed down her emotions, her heart was beating thumping.

"My concubine greets the empress dowager." Su Qingning, who entered the palace, saluted the empress dowager respectfully. There was no abnormality on her face. She knew that she had to be calm.
