Chapter 122 Handing Over the Phoenix Seal

Lu Xingwan cheered on the side.

[Wow, is there finally a queen? Is this story finally getting on track? ]

[But speaking of which, the storyline of this story has changed a lot since I came here. What is the main plot now? ]

[The previous main plot was that the Second Prince and Rong Wenmiao supported each other, overcame all difficulties along the way, and took back the throne that belonged to them. ]

[But actually, it didn’t belong to my second brother, it was just that my brother the Crown Prince was gone at that time.]

[But now, I am more than six months old, and Rong Wenmiao has not appeared at all. How can I start the relationship with my second brother? ]

[In the past, my mother had said that she would invite Miss Rong to the palace more often to accompany Concubine Lan, so that the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law could get along well and have more opportunities to meet my second brother, but now she is busy with all kinds of messy things and can no longer care about it. ]

[It would be better to establish the queen earlier, so that my mother would have fewer chores to do and more opportunities to be a matchmaker. ]

Concubine Chen Guifei couldn't help but hold her forehead when she heard Lu Xingwan's words. She was clearly arranging important matters, but her daughter wanted her to be a matchmaker.

But speaking of it, being a matchmaker is indeed a very happy thing.

Wanwan is right. It would be better for His Majesty to appoint a queen as soon as possible and hand over the job in his hands.

Thinking of this, Concubine Chen ordered Jinxin and Jinyu to take Lu Xingwan to the Empress Dowager's Rongle Palace.

Before they left the palace gate, they saw Pei Chuyan from the side hall running out and said, "Where are you going, Your Majesty? I am going too."

Concubine Chen Gui turned around and smiled, "You should have a good rest. I'll go to the Queen Mother's palace. If the Queen Mother sees you, I'm afraid she will be distressed again."

Pei Chuyan waved his arms to show Concubine Chen Gui: "Look, your majesty, I am well now. It's time to fulfill my duties."

Concubine Chen Guifei knew that although Pei Chuyan seemed to have a lukewarm personality, he was actually a stubborn person. She stopped arguing with him and just nodded, then took a few people to Rongle Palace.

Not long after they walked, they ran into the prince's sedan chair heading towards Qingyun Palace.

Seeing Consort Chen's sedan chair, the Crown Prince hurried down, bowed and asked, "Where are you going, Consort Chen?"

Concubine Chen Gui knew why the prince came to see her, so she just smiled and said, "I have heard about what happened today. It will be resolved sooner or later. Why don't I go to Rongle Palace in person?"

When this matter was mentioned, the prince's eyes were full of regret.

So she comforted him, "Jin Yao, you know me. I just want to relax. Why would I want to be entangled in these little things?"

Hearing Concubine Chen say this, the Crown Prince said nothing more. He just nodded and watched Concubine Chen's sedan chair go away.

In the Palace of Honor.

The Queen Mother had just seen off the Emperor of Great Chu, but she did not expect Concubine Chen Gui to come.

I couldn't figure out why she came, so I asked, "Qingyan, why did you come to my place so early today?"

Concubine Chen Gui smiled and said, "I do have something important to discuss with the Empress Dowager!"

After saying that, he let Jinxin and Jinyu go out, while Pei Chuyan, of course, stayed outside the palace gate and did not come in.

Seeing how cautious Concubine Chen Gui was, the Queen Mother began to have some guesses in her mind, and she also ordered the servants around her to go out.

"I think the Empress Dowager has guessed why I'm here." Concubine Chen smiled and said.

"Speaking of which, I am ashamed to say that I have not managed the harem well these days!"

The Queen Mother heard her words and said quickly: "Your Majesty and I think it's a good idea. Please don't let your imagination run wild."

Concubine Chen touched her forehead pretending to be embarrassed and said, "Actually, I am a little tired. The Queen Mother knows that I used to be so impetuous on the battlefield. It is a bit of a headache to take care of these trivial matters. I would like the Queen Mother and Your Majesty to find someone to replace me!"

Lu Xingwan, who was standing by, didn't show any expression, but was cheering in her heart.

[Mother, your acting skills are great! If you work harder, get rid of this job, and we can go back to the palace to be matchmakers.]

[The Queen Mother will surely be moved by Mother, otherwise Mother will shed a few more tears, they are called beauty tears, quicker and quicker.]

Before Concubine Chen Gui could say anything else, the Queen Mother said bluntly: "Did Qingyan hear rumors from the previous dynasty?"

Concubine Chen Gui nodded in a distressed manner: "It has been going on for so many days, it is hard for me not to know about it."

Seeing that the Queen Mother was so direct, Concubine Chen Gui no longer tried to hide it: "I know that because of the Crown Prince, I have no chance of becoming the Queen."

"But I didn't have such an idea. I wanted to hand over the things in my hands as soon as possible so that I could relax."

"Do the Queen Mother and Your Majesty have a favorite candidate? I think Sister Ning Fei is a good choice." Concubine Chen Guifei looked at the Queen Mother sincerely.

When the Queen Mother heard Concubine Chen mention Concubine Ning, she couldn't help but widen her eyes and asked, "Concubine Ning entered the palace later than you. If you really chose her, wouldn't you feel uncomfortable?"

"How could that be?" Concubine Chen Gui smiled and said, "No matter who is chosen, it is the decision of the Queen Mother and Your Majesty, and it will not be wrong. Besides, I also think that Sister Ning is good."

"Sister Ning Fei assisted in managing the six palaces some time ago, and handled matters very appropriately. Even compared with me and sister Lan Fei, she is no worse." Concubine Chen Guifei's eyes were full of praise.

He turned around and took out a box at hand, opened it and saw that it was the Queen's phoenix seal.

"I have been holding this thing for a long time, and I brought it here today." She looked at the Queen Mother expectantly, "I hope the Queen Mother will take it back."

Seeing the empress dowager's dilemma, Concubine Chen added fuel to the fire.

"I know that Your Majesty has been troubled by this matter these days, so I haven't been to Qingyun Palace for a long time."

"This matter has caused such a big stir in the previous dynasty. It will not be conducive to the stability of the previous dynasty in the end. It is better to settle it early so that Your Majesty can sleep well."

After saying this, Concubine Chen Guifei stopped talking and just looked at the Queen Mother, waiting for her decision.

The Queen Mother pondered for a long time. Even the quiet Concubine Chen Gui could hear the breathing of several people in Rongle Palace. The Queen Mother finally spoke: "In this case, I will accept it first. You are right. We must let the Emperor sleep well."

Upon hearing this, Lu Xingwan cheered happily again.

[Yeah! Success! Mother finally gave the Phoenix Seal away. Seeing how glorious it is to hold the Phoenix Seal, I think it is just a burden and has brought so much trouble to Mother.]

[It would be better to be a leisurely noble concubine, where you can be free, have status, be respected, and have money to eat and wear.]

Concubine Chen Guifei couldn't help but smile in her heart and said: Wanwan, your mother and I have money, so we don't have to worry about food and drink.

Seeing that she was so sensible, the Queen Mother pulled her hand again and said, "Don't worry, the Emperor will definitely not treat you unfairly."
