Chapter 110 Return to the Palace
Chapter 110 Return to the Palace
Concubine Hua was stunned for a moment, then quickly cleared the noodles on the plate, wiped her mouth, and leaned back in the chair.
"I'm too full and want to sleep."
"Your Majesty, Concubine Jing is still waiting in the palace."
Concubine Hua stood up reluctantly and went to the outer hall.
"Greetings to the noble concubine."
"Get up, what are you doing here so early in the morning?"
"Your Majesty, I have something to ask of you, Your Majesty."
"Go ahead."
"Your Highness, I felt unwell yesterday afternoon, so I asked Doctor Wei to come and check on me. I am already one month pregnant, so I want Your Highness to find someone to take over the palace supplies in my hands."
After Concubine Jing finished speaking, she didn't dare to look up at Concubine Hua's reaction. Although she felt that Concubine Hua would definitely not make things difficult for her now, she still lacked confidence when Concubine Hua said those words.
Nian Shilan was also stunned after hearing this information.
Fortunately, Songzhi pushed her own queen in time. She knew that her queen didn't want to have the emperor's child now. In order to avoid Concubine Jing's misunderstanding, she had to bravely remind her own queen.
Concubine Hua finally came to her senses and said, "Ruyi, help your queen sit down."
"Thank you, empress."
"Don't thank me yet. I want to ask you, the emperor went to your place because you were pregnant."
"Back to your Majesty, that's right."
"Then you told the emperor to keep your pregnancy a secret?"
Concubine Jing nodded.
Concubine Hua's face was full of sarcasm, "Now our emperor has learned to keep his promises."
"My queen, ~"
Songzhi beside him called her master.
"Don't worry, I will keep the secret for you. I wasn't targeting you just now."
"My lady, I understand."
"Yes, but I will not take back the palace power."
Concubine Jing was a little anxious and was about to speak when she was interrupted by Concubine Hua.
"Don't be anxious. I don't want to embarrass you. You did nothing wrong. If I suddenly take away your power, someone will definitely become suspicious."
"Gong Quan, you stay with it for now. If there are things that can be given to Shen Meizhuang, give them to her. If there are things you can't do, give them to me."
"Thank you very much, my concubine."
"I'm asking you, who do you think is suitable to handle palace affairs?"
"This~, I am not very clear about it either."
"Okay, go back now. I didn't hear anything today. You, Concubine Jing, just came to sit with me."
When Concubine Jing came out from Concubine Hua, she saw Concubine Fucha walking in the yard.
"Greetings to Concubine Jing."
"No need to be polite. Sister Fucha's belly is getting bigger and bigger. I'm afraid she will give birth in two or three months."
Noble Lady Fucha looked at Concubine Jing's envious eyes and couldn't help feeling proud. "Yes, Doctor Wei also said that I'm pregnant with a prince. God is really kind to me. I'm tired, so I'll go back first. The scenery in Qingliang Palace is also very beautiful. Please do as you please, Concubine Jing."
After saying that, he took Liu'er and left with his neck raised.
"Why are you shaking your head?" Concubine Jing found her maid Ruyi's behavior somewhat amusing.
"Your Majesty, how did Concubine Hua tolerate Fu Cha for so long? It's really rare that Fu Cha can live until now."
"Maybe it's really like what she said, God blesses her."
"My queen, don't worry. Who knows, you might be pregnant with a little prince."
"Whether it's a prince or a princess, I like them all. Don't say such things again in the future."
"Yes."
Changchun Xianguan
"My lady, why did you get up so early today?"
"Didn't the Third Prince come back today? Quickly ask the kitchen to prepare some more food."
"Your Highness, the Third Prince will definitely have lunch with the Emperor at noon today. He should come to your place when you have woken up from your nap."
"Go and prepare. The Third Prince will definitely come to our Changchun Xianguan for lunch this afternoon."
Near noon, Hongshi appeared in Changchun Xianguan as expected, followed by Xiao Xiazi and a group of young eunuchs, each holding a food box in their hands.
"Mother~"
Su He looked at Hong Shi with satisfaction, "Today you still know how to clean yourself up, but yesterday you were like a mud monkey."
"Greetings to Her Majesty Hefei."
"What's that in your hand?"
"Your Majesty, the Emperor is dining with General Nian and Empress Hua at Jiuzhou Qingyan. This is the same dish that the Emperor asked to be sent to Your Majesty and the Third Prince."
"Hanbengong thanks the emperor."
Su He pulled Hongshi and hurried into the hall to eat.
"Cuiguo, Hongtao, quickly serve the dishes that the emperor sent."
[Wow, when I watched it on TV before, I thought the food in this scene looked delicious, and today I finally got to eat it. ]
Su He tasted each dish directly, and then found that his adopted son was looking at him stupidly.
"Hongshi, why don't you eat?"
"Mother, how is it? Is it delicious?" Hongshi asked sincerely.
Su He also nodded seriously, "It's delicious. It would definitely taste better if it was fresh out of the pot."
The two of them chatted while eating, and the meal lasted for a full hour.
Last night's meal and today's meal were the two most relaxing meals she had had in all these years. There were no rules and she could speak freely. Hongshi was reluctant to leave Changchun Xianguan, but he was already an adult prince and it was impossible for him to stay with his mother for a long time. It was against etiquette.
"Mother, when I have nothing to do, can I come to your place for meals more often?"
"Of course, it's boring for me to eat alone, you can come every meal."
"Okay, then mother, please don't find your son annoying when the time comes."
After saying this, he said goodbye and returned to his temporary residence in the Old Summer Palace.
The reforms of the previous dynasty were in full swing. Time passed quickly, the weather gradually became colder, and the day for the emperor to return had arrived.
Although everyone was reluctant to leave the scenery of the Old Summer Palace, they were also thinking about the Forbidden City, so everyone started packing up after receiving the news.
In addition to the news of the emperor's return, there was also news that the empress and noble lady Fucha were released from confinement.
When Su He received the news, she was a little surprised. Maybe she had been living too comfortably and had forgotten about the Queen.
Cuiguo looked at her own queen with an uncertain expression and was a little worried. She had seen all kinds of methods used by the queen over the years. Now that the queen was released, she was afraid that her own queen would have a hard time again.
"My lady, don't worry, we will always remain vigilant."
Su He came to his senses when he heard Cuiguo's firm voice and instantly understood what Cuiguo meant.
"It's okay. You don't need to be too nervous. Your queen has always been very lucky."
