Chapter 129 Playing a little temper

Su Qingrong returned to Qixiang Palace in a very happy mood and quickly asked Qinglian to arrange the outer hall.

Starting tomorrow, the morning meeting will be held at Qixiang Palace.

"Bring out more ornaments so they can all see them. They can hardly afford to use even one of the things in my palace in their lifetime."

Qinglian ordered people to move all the decorations in the warehouse out. The already luxurious Qixiang Palace became even more magnificent at this moment. The luster of various gold, jade and precious pearls was dazzling.

Su Qingrong's sleeves brushed against the luxurious ornaments, she spread out her sleeves and sat in the main seat.

She looked at the two rows of seats for concubines below, and the satisfaction and pride in her heart reached its peak.

Who can compete with her Su family?

Even Song Wanyan had to give up her seat.

It just so happens that everyone will come to Qixiang Palace tomorrow. It will be a good time to expose Concubine Shen's fake pregnancy in public.

"Qinglian, go inform our people in the kitchen to add some blood-tonifying and nourishing foods to Concubine Shen's meal tonight."

Qinglian nodded, and approached Su Qingrong mysteriously, whispering, "Don't worry, your majesty. Concubine Shen hasn't had her period in the past two months. As long as she drinks the yam and rehmannia porridge that invigorates blood circulation and stimulates menstruation, she will definitely see her period tomorrow."

Su Qingrong smiled with satisfaction.

In the evening, the news that Ming'er would go to Qixiang Palace to attend the morning meeting spread to all the palaces, and the dark clouds hanging over the heads of the concubines finally turned into heavy rain.

If it is a blessing, there will be no disaster; if it is a disaster, there will be no escape.

What you fear will come to you.

After Song Wanyan heard the news, she was so angry that she walked back and forth in the hall with her hands on her hips.

"Is it true that Su Qingrong took advantage of the palace affairs that I had prepared?"

Hanlu comforted her, "Don't worry, Your Majesty. There's no title or phoenix seal in Qixiang Palace, not even a golden seal. There must be something very wrong."

Song Wanyan paused and said, "That's true."

When she first took office, His Majesty conferred a title on her and carved a seal for her overnight.

Su Qingrong has nothing.

Song Wanyan calmed down, sat back in her chair, and drank some hot tea.

The story of Concubine Shen's fake pregnancy hasn't been resolved yet. Although the result clearly points to Su Qingrong, His Majesty has remained silent. Not only has he not approached Su Qingrong, he has also given Su Wenyue an honorary title...

This is so abnormal, there must be more to it than meets the eye. I have a feeling something big is going to happen.

However, it’s a pity that she was under house arrest, otherwise she would go to Qixiang Palace to meet Su Qingrong tomorrow.

See how far her tail can go.

Outside Zhaohua Palace, Lian Qiao changed a hand warmer and gave it to Jiang Yingli.

Jiang Yingli stood under the eaves of the hall, looking at the broken pieces of scorching snow for a long time.

"My Lady, it's getting colder at night. Please come into the palace and warm up."

Jiang Yingli shook her head. "I'm not cold even though I'm wearing such a thick cloak."

Lianqiao had not served as long as Qiuxia, but she also understood that the Empress loved to grow flowers the most. Qiuxia said that the Empress had a deeper affection for the two snow-white flowers. When she entered the palace, she carefully dug them out from the nursery of the palace and transplanted them.

Except for these two snow-scorching flowers, all the other flowers in the Zhaohua Palace nursery were planted after she entered the palace.

The Empress had carefully cared for the flower for so long, but when it was in full bloom, Concubine Su went crazy and broke it. Of course, the Empress was sad.

She had advised her three times, but the Empress was still watching outside. She was really worried that the Empress would catch a cold.

"Your Majesty has arrived—"

The sound of the announcement was very abrupt. It was just nightfall today and no news of the turning of the cards had yet been heard from the imperial court.

Lian Qiao was happy in her heart. Now that the emperor had come, it was a good opportunity to persuade the queen.

When Xiao Chenglan walked to the front of the hall, he saw Jiang Yingli sitting under the eaves, feeling sad.

When Jiang Yingli saw him, her eyes were filled with grievance, and the corners of her mouth were puffed up. She ran into his arms, pointed at the scorching snow in the nursery, where only the stems were left, and complained aggrievedly:

"Your Majesty! Su Qingrong destroyed my flowers."

Xiao Chenglan wrapped her in his thick, wide cloak. Feeling the slight chill on her fingertips, his tone became serious:

"I know everything. They are just two flowers. They are not as important as humans. Go to the palace first."

Jiang Yingli felt even more aggrieved when she saw that he was neither anxious nor impatient, and did not seem to care much about the two flowers.

She came out of his arms and pushed him. However, Xiao Chenglan's body was as still as a mountain.

Jiang Yingli simply turned her face away, her voice sounding so aggrieved that she seemed to be about to cry out in anger.

"Yes, no one is important, because my flowers are just flowers, how can they be compared with Su Qingrong."

"You clearly know that the person I'm talking about is you, yet you still bring up Su Qingrong to deliberately anger me?"

Xiao Chenglan simply pulled her back into his arms, bent down, picked her up, and strode into the hall.

Jiang Yingli kicked restlessly in his arms, and Xiao Chenglan had no choice but to put her down.

There are floor heating systems on both sides of the hall, so you won’t feel cold.

Jiang Yingli sulked with her back to him.

Seeing her like this, Xiao Chenglan took her hand and said, "If you are sad, I will give you two more plants another day."

Jiang Yingli shook off his hand and snorted, "Your Majesty, there are all kinds of rare flowers you want. Just wave your hand, and tomorrow ten carriages will line up to bring you flowers. If you just give me two flowers as a reward, I will kneel down to express my gratitude. What kind of thing is that? I don't want it."

Xiao Chenglan heard her say this, but smiled without saying anything.

He really loved the way Jiang Yingli acted like a spoiled brat with him.

It's interesting to hear him say 'you' all the time.

Xiao Chenglan moved closer to Jiang Yingli with a half-smile on his face, and gently lifted her chin with his palm, making her look up and look at him.

"Isn't this okay? I thought you were so sad because I gave you those two Burning Snow plants. If I gave you two more, you wouldn't be sad anymore."

"But you didn't want it, and you even said those words to me in anger. It turns out I was being sentimental. It's really just Zhuoxue you like, not the Zhuoxue I gave you."

Jiang Yingli's pupils trembled slightly, and the expression on her little face became visibly brighter.

There was joy, regret, and embarrassment.

She was so sad because the two burning snow plants were a gift from His Majesty.

Just now she thought that His Majesty had forgotten, and the more she thought about it, the angrier she became.
