Chapter 11 The princess looks so pretty when she smiles
Qingping swallowed excitedly.
"The Emperor promoted the Second Young Master! Directly from the ninth rank to the fourth rank!"
"What?!"
The Concubine Chen was so overjoyed that her voice became even louder.
"Not only that, the emperor also promoted me. I used to be a fourth-rank assistant minister of the Ministry of Revenue, but now I am a third-rank minister of the Ministry of Revenue!"
Shangguan Sui:?!
[Ah! Daddy also promoted my grandfather! I just found out about this~]
[Daddy is quite sensible~ Let’s praise him~]
Qingping had a proud look on her face, with a hint of dissatisfaction in her tone.
"Humph, there were always some rumors in the harem before, mocking your humble origins and having no one to help you in the court."
"I wonder who dares to say it now! Anyone with a discerning eye can see that the emperor thinks highly of our Lou family now!"
The Concubine Chen chuckled and gave Qingping a glare that was neither too light nor too heavy.
"Okay, let's just say this in our palace, and don't say it outside."
Qingping grew up with her. She is the most straightforward person and always speaks without restraint.
Although the emperor now looks upon the Lou family with a different eye, he still needs to keep his composure and not be carried away.
Qing Ping nodded hurriedly, "Don't worry, Madam, I know what to say and what not to say."
Shangguan Sui listened to them talking, his eyes trembling uncontrollably and he yawned one after another.
Finally, I couldn't bear it anymore and just tilted my head and fell asleep.
Qing Ping: "By the way, Your Majesty, Concubine Xian just sent someone to say that there will be a banquet in Linqing Palace tomorrow, and asked Your Majesty if you would like to go?"
Concubine Chen looked at Shangguan Sui's peaceful sleeping face, pursed her lips and thought for a moment.
"Go ahead. The Queen and the Queen Mother have gone to Lingshan to worship Buddha. Concubine Xian is in charge of the six palaces. If you don't go, I don't know how they will target us in the future."
Qing Ping nodded, "Your Majesty is right. I will go and prepare clothes for you to wear tomorrow."
The eldest prince's palace.
Shangguan Jue got off the carriage and rubbed his sore forehead with his hand.
This afternoon, he suddenly received an order from his father, asking him to go to the prison to interrogate Lu Yuan and get evidence of the Zhenbei Marquis's corruption in grain and grass.
After interrogation till now, I have finally managed to force out some information.
Shangguan Jue returned to the main courtyard and still couldn't help coughing.
"Your Highness, you forgot to take your medicine again."
Xiao Yun strode to Shangguan Jue's side and held him with his hand.
Shangguan Jue looked at the hands and frowned slightly.
He pulled his arm out calmly.
"I'm too tired today. I won't take the medicine. I'm going back to the room first. You should also go to bed early."
After saying that, he left without looking back.
Xiao Yun stayed where he was, his mouth corners stiff.
What does this mean?
Xiao Yun's mind was racing.
That shouldn't be the case. She was clearly following the plot.
Give Shangguan Jue the drug, and he will die without anyone noticing by this time next year.
Everyone would just think that he was not in good health.
Two years later, Zhenbei Houhui rebelled, although in the book, this rebellion failed.
But now with her help, Zhenbei Hou will definitely succeed.
She knows the plot!
And after the rebellion is successful, she will marry the third prince and become the queen of Dayue Kingdom!
As Xiao Yun thought about this, his mood instantly improved a lot.
Anyway, Shangguan Jue is now deeply poisoned and won't live long.
No matter what he thinks now.
The next day.
Shangguan Sui slowly raised his eyelids and found that he was still in Bihua Palace.
[Dad didn't take her to Yu's study today? ]
[Great! I can spend the whole day with my mom! ]
Shangguan Sui yawned and sat up from the bed.
When the Concubine Chen heard the noise, she hurried to the bedside.
The moment Shangguan Sui saw Concubine Chen, his eyes widened.
Today, the Concubine Chen wore a blue palace dress, and her cloud-like black hair was tied into a side bun.
In her hair was an emerald hairpin with a few tassels hanging from the end, which swayed slightly as she walked.
Her lightly made-up face with a gentle smile made people unable to help but focus all their attention on her.
[Ahhh, it's beautiful at first glance, and it's still beautiful at second, third, fourth, and fifth glances! ]
【Sticky with my beautiful mother! Muah!】
[It’s better to be with my mother! She’s so pleasing to the eyes! ]
When Chen Fei heard Sui Sui's inner voice, she couldn't help but curl her lips.
Suishun’s mouth is so sweet.
"Sui Sui, do you want to go flower viewing with mom today?"
A few days ago, the emperor came every day at noon and took Suisui away.
It's already 9:00 p.m., I guess the Emperor won't come today.
Why not take Suisui to Yu Garden to appreciate paintings and relax?
Upon hearing this, Shangguan Sui immediately nodded vigorously.
"Ababa Aba——"
[It’s great to go flower viewing! There will definitely be a lot of pretty ladies there! ]
[Let’s go! Mom, I want to go too! 】
The concubine heard the voice.
While I found it funny, I couldn't help but feel a little worried.
Why hasn’t my throat healed yet?
After I come back from flower viewing today, I will call Doctor Xu to come and take a look.
See what's going on.
garden.
"Ningpin, you know what to do next."
Concubine Ning lowered her head and looked timidly at Concubine Xian in front of her.
She nodded gently, "I understand."
Concubine Xian curled her lips in satisfaction, then turned and left.
Concubine Ning looked at Concubine Xian's back and reached out to gently touch her belly.
This pregnancy could not be saved.
It would be better to take a chance and get the protection of Concubine Xian...
The Concubine Chen brought Shangguan Sui and got on the sedan chair.
After a while, we arrived at Yu Garden.
As soon as Chen Fei landed and stood firm, a gentle female voice came from behind her.
"Sister Chen Fei is here. I have been waiting for a long time."
Concubine Xian walked up to Concubine Chen and held her hand very intimately.
They called each other sisters in a very affectionate manner.
As the two of them exchanged pleasantries, many concubines gradually gathered around them.
"This must be the fifth princess. She's so cute!"
"The fifth princess is only three years old this year, but she's already a little beauty~"
Shangguan Sui nestled in the arms of Concubine Chen, listened to everyone's praises, narrowed his eyes and smiled.
The little pear-shaped vortex on the cheek is exposed, which is very cute.
"Hahaha, the fifth princess is laughing! She looks so beautiful when she laughs!"
Concubine Xian listened to everyone's praises and curled up the corners of her mouth stiffly.
Now everyone in the palace knows that the fifth princess is the emperor's favorite.
Concubine Xian thought of her third prince and felt a little sad.
The emperor dotes on the third prince, but not even half as much as he does on the fifth princess.
Concubine Xian looked around, cleared her throat, and successfully attracted everyone's attention.
She chuckled and said slowly, "The Fifth Princess has just recovered from a serious illness. It's better not to stay around her. It's not good for the little princess's health."
Upon hearing this, the crowd had no choice but to disperse and gather in groups of three or four to admire the flowers.
"Sui Sui, shall we go over there and take a look?"
Concubine Chen put Shangguan Sui on the ground, held her little hand and coaxed her in a gentle voice.
Shangguan Sui nodded.
[As long as I can be with my mother, it doesn’t matter where I go~]
Looking at the two people's leaving backs, Concubine Xian immediately winked at Concubine Ning.
Concubine Ning nodded and followed immediately.
It is autumn now, and the garden is full of chrysanthemums of various varieties.
Shangguan Sui was dazzled.
As she walked, she sighed, it was worthy of being a royal palace.
"Sui Sui, be careful, don't fall."
Concubine Chen followed behind Shangguan Sui, and couldn't help but chuckle as she looked at her unsteady steps.
She is so cute even when she walks.
Shangguan Sui turned around upon hearing the voice, and just in time saw a pink figure suddenly jump out from behind Concubine Chen.
The man bumped into Concubine Chen himself, and then fell violently to the ground.
Shangguan Sui was stunned.
[What is this? How can you cheat like this?! ]
The pink figure fell to the ground and immediately started screaming.
"ah--"
"My child—"
As soon as she finished speaking, Concubine Xian immediately came hurriedly from behind with a group of concubines.
Concubine Xian cried out in shock: "Ningpin! Ningpin, what's wrong with you?! Go and call the imperial physician!"
Concubine Ning held her stomach with her hands, looking extremely painful.
Concubine Xian seemed to be frightened and asked quickly.
"Sister Ningpin, what's wrong with you? What happened?!"
Concubine Ning's face turned pale and tears fell from her eyes.
She said in a low voice: "I don't know how I have offended the Empress Chen..."
"The Empress Chen actually, unexpectedly, suddenly pushed me away..."
