Chapter 128 The Princess is Here Too

For lunch that day, the Emperor of Great Chu naturally had it in Qingyun Palace before returning to Longsheng Palace.

Therefore, after the lunch break, the prince finally had time to come to Qingyun Palace: "I originally wanted to come after the morning court session, but I heard from people around my father that my father had come to Qingyun Palace, so I can only come in the afternoon."

There was no mention of the word "congratulations" in the prince's words.

Song Qingyan knew of course that her nephew felt somewhat guilty towards her because of the title of queen.

Jinyu has always been able to read people's expressions, and she quickly explained, "Now everyone in the palace says that His Majesty loves the Empress."

Upon hearing this, the prince looked up at Jinyu in surprise.

"Because the queen didn't want to be in charge of the six palaces, she made Concubine Ning the empress and let her take charge of the six palaces."

"And they were afraid of mistreating our queen, so they conferred her the title of Imperial Consort. Your Majesty can say that she is the same rank as the Vice Queen, on an equal footing with the Empress."

The prince was distracted the whole time and didn't listen carefully to the imperial edict. He never thought that his father would have such thoughts.

Concubine Chen stood up and stretched, and her tone was full of relief when she spoke: "Yes, I'm finally free."

"You can also prepare some things for Xingruo's child when you have time." After saying this, he smiled and looked at the prince, "and prepare for your marriage."

Seeing that his aunt was truly relaxed from the bottom of her heart, the prince was also relieved: "Aunt, now that you are free, you can have a good rest. My marriage will be arranged by the Ministry of Internal Affairs."

Finally, he laughed: "I still haven't congratulated my aunt on becoming the Imperial Consort!"

Lu Xingwan was also cheering on the side.

[That's right. I think we should have a good time tonight and finally get rid of this annoying task.]

[From now on, I can live a relaxed life in this palace. I can sleep until I wake up naturally in the morning, then walk around the garden, have lunch, chat with some girls in the afternoon, and have dinner...]

[Isn't this kind of life not enjoyable? It's more comfortable than my days in the world of immortal cultivation! ]

Listening to what Lu Xingwan said, Song Qingyan couldn't help but feel moved. Tomorrow, she would have a good sleep and sleep until she wakes up naturally.

As they were talking, the eldest princess' voice came from outside: "I'm late, the crown prince is here too."

Hearing Lu Xingruo's voice, Song Qingyan hurried over to support her: "How did Xingruo have time to enter the palace?"

The eldest princess did not answer, but just said to herself: "Today, I heard Qin Xing say that my father was crowned as the queen, so I was very excited to go to the palace to congratulate my aunt, but I didn't expect that my father actually crowned the Ning concubine."

"I can tolerate it even if it was Concubine Lan, but how could it be Concubine Ning?" Lu Xingruo was still filled with indignation when talking about this.

"So I rushed into the palace angrily. When I heard that my father was in Qingyun Palace, I didn't come to disturb him. I went to my grandmother's place to have dinner with her." Having said this, the eldest princess touched her forehead and smiled awkwardly.

"You are still so impetuous, and you still won't stop even though you are pregnant," Song Qingyan said as she helped Lu Xingruo sit down slowly, "Qin Xing won't stop you, what if you offend your father?"

The eldest princess smiled awkwardly: "I see that father's temper has improved a lot now, and he won't lose his temper anymore."

Song Qingyan then smiled and looked at her: "Do you understand now?"

The eldest princess nodded awkwardly: "Well, I think the Royal Concubine is also good. She doesn't have to worry about trivial matters, and she can be on an equal footing with the Queen."

He leaned forward and asked, "How about having dinner here with my aunt?"

Then he looked at the prince: "Brother, are you free? Today, my aunt has finally gotten rid of all those troubles. We should celebrate!"

The prince also smiled when he saw this and said, "Of course that's good."

As they were talking, Jinxin came in and reported that Concubine Lan and the Second Prince, and Concubine Wen and the Fourth Prince had arrived.

The eldest princess stood up and walked out: "Madam Lan and Madam Wen, you came at the right time. We just said that we would have dinner at Madam Chen's place tonight!"

He looked at Concubine Wen and said, "I haven't seen Concubine Wen for a long time. Concubine Wen is still as beautiful as she was ten years ago!"

"Xingruo is always a teasing child." Concubine Wen took her hand and walked inside, asking with concern, "Is the baby in your belly well-behaved now?"

When talking about the baby in her belly, the eldest princess smiled softly: "Madam Wen, he is only less than five months old now!"

"That's right," Concubine Wen pretended to pat her head, "I was confused."

The second prince and the fourth prince also came forward to pay their respects.

Lu Xingruo also turned around and looked at the two of them: "Jin Yu, you have worked hard on your inspection. When you returned to the palace, you thought there were many things to do, so I didn't come to greet you."

After saying that, he turned around and looked at Pei Chuyan, who had been standing aside for a long time without any sense of existence: "Is Master Pei's injury healed?"

Pei Chuyan hurried forward and saluted: "Thank you for your concern, Princess. I am doing fine now."

Seeing him like this, the eldest princess couldn't help but be stunned.

The second prince quickly joked: "Don't be surprised, sister. Chu Yan has always been well-behaved."

Song Qingyan couldn't help but joked, "I was wondering if this kid, despite his young age, looks like an old scholar. He's really pedantic!"

Several people burst into laughter.

Lu Xingruo noticed the Fourth Prince who was talking to the Crown Prince, walked over a few steps, straightened his body, and looked at him again and again: "I haven't seen Jinrui for many years, he should be ten years old now!"

The fourth prince quickly replied politely, "Sister, I will be eleven after my birthday."

Lu Xingruo turned back to look at Concubine Wen: "Madam Wen should take Jinrui out for walks more often. Who wouldn't like such a well-behaved child? Now that Madam Chen is not busy anymore, you two can sit together and talk someday. That would be great."

"Xing Ruo is right," seeing the children getting along so harmoniously, Concubine Wen was also happy in her heart, "I will come to bother your Majesty Chen every day in the future."

Meanwhile, Concubine Wen, Concubine Lan and Concubine Huang Gui were sitting together, watching the noisy children and whispering to each other.

"I thought His Majesty would make you the queen, but I didn't expect that he would make Ning the queen instead." Concubine Wen's voice was gentle and delicate, very pleasant to the ear.

"But after returning to the palace, I thought about it carefully. It is not realistic to make you the queen. However, His Majesty really cares about you. Not only did the imperial edict arrive at Qingyun Palace first, but he didn't even show up at Jinxiu Palace."

"Although the status is given to the Shen family, the face here is given to you."

Seeing Concubine Wen say this, Concubine Lan couldn't help but speak up: "Your Majesty has always loved Sister Chen the most. Since you can't give your sister the position of empress, you will give her everything else."

Song Qingyan couldn't help shaking her head when she heard this: "My two sisters know me well. I never care about these things. Even if it's a noble, as long as I am comfortable, that's all."

Concubine Lan patted Song Qingyan's hand and said, "Your Majesty, this is also a position given to you, so that you will not be bullied by others."
