Chapter 263 Song Qingyan's Test

Sometimes she felt that it was quite lively when these little girls made some noise in the palace.

As long as her bottom line is not touched, she doesn't care if she was a little arrogant or domineering in the past.

Only then did Concubine Yao realize that the person opposite her was Song Qingyan. Thinking of the slap she had received in the Jinxiu Palace before, she was immediately frightened.

He hurriedly ordered the eunuch who was carrying the sedan chair, "Quick, quick, put me down quickly."

After saying that, she walked to Song Qingyan anxiously and bowed: "My eyesight is poor, I didn't recognize you as the Royal Consort, please forgive me."

Seeing that she was so sensible, Song Qingyan did not embarrass her and just smiled: "Get up!"

Then she leaned to the side and said, "Since Concubine Yao is riding in a sedan chair, please go first. I will make way for you."

Having said this, he took Qiong Hua's hand and walked to the side, naturally to avoid Concubine Yao's sedan chair.

But Song Qingyan's action frightened Concubine Yao out of her wits, and she knelt down hurriedly: "Your Majesty, please forgive me, I dare not do that."

Only then did Song Qingyan realize that Concubine Yao had misunderstood.

Looking at Jinyu holding Wanwan on the side, he looked at Concubine Yao and her servant with dissatisfaction on his face.

Song Qingyan sighed in her heart and stepped forward to help Concubine Yao up: "Concubine Yao, there is no need to do this. I am not..."

"Forget it, I'll leave first!"

Song Qingyan thought about it and decided not to explain it in detail to Concubine Yao.

She couldn't understand what I meant anyway, so why bother talking to her?

Concubine Yao looked at Song Qingyan's receding back, feeling a lingering fear in her heart.

But she was complaining to the maid beside her in a low voice: "She is also weird. She is a royal concubine, but she is so unbecoming all day long."

Concubine Yao did not say the rest.

She is obviously the most honorable person in the harem besides the Empress, and is so favored by the Emperor of Great Chu, but she is so... shabby.

In Rongle Palace, the Queen Mother was naturally very happy to see Qiong Hua coming.

"I haven't seen Qiong Hua for a long time." The Queen Mother took Qiong Hua's hand with a smile on her face. The last time she saw Qiong Hua seemed to be before her birthday banquet.

Qiong Hua was also a person who understood the rules. Standing beside the empress dowager, he asked with concern, "How is the empress dowager? I heard a few days ago that the empress dowager was ill, and our queen was very worried."

Madam Su at the side said quickly, "Thanks to the pills sent by Miss Qionghua, the Queen Mother is now in good health!"

Qiong Hua did not take credit for it, and took the Queen Mother's pulse again: "The Queen Mother is indeed in good health now. It is getting hotter today, so you must be careful not to get heatstroke."

Qiong Hua was actually somewhat sincere towards the Queen Mother.

After all, the Queen Mother treated her very well.

A few people talked for a while, and when they saw that the Queen Mother looked a little tired, they came out of Rongle Palace.

Only then did Song Qingyan take Qionghua straight to their final destination: Jinxiu Palace.

When they arrived at the Jinxiu Palace, it was probably the end of the afternoon, and they guessed that Shen Ning had just woken up from his lunch break.

What Song Qingyan didn't expect was that Shen Ning was actually handling the arrangements for the prince's wedding.

Seeing Song Qingyan coming in, he was a little surprised. After all, he and her seemed to be in harmony on the surface.

In reality, the situation has become extremely tense.

But in the end, she had to save face. Shen Ning even stood up to greet Song Qingyan: "How come the Royal Concubine has time to come? I am sorry for being so rude."

As she spoke, she looked at Yunlan beside her with a look of complaint: "I am sorry that you didn't inform me that the Royal Concubine is coming. "

Yunlan has become very sensible under Yueran's training. She smiled and bowed in the direction of Song Qingyan and Shen Ning: "I wanted to pass on the message, but the Royal Concubine said that the Empress was busy, so I won't disturb her for now."

Shen Ning and Song Qingyan didn't care about these things at all, they just walked past Yun Lan and went inside.

The moment Shen Ning sat down, he saw Qiong Hua following Song Qingyan.

Alarm bells suddenly started ringing in my heart.

It seems that my medicine and the last time Song Qingyan poisoned me were all related to this female doctor.

He immediately forced a smile and looked in the direction of Qiong Hua: "This must be the female doctor in the Royal Concubine's palace. She is indeed pretty."

Qiong Hua just smiled and bowed, but didn't say anything.

Song Qingyan naturally put on a full show, looking back at Qiong Hua with a very satisfied look: "The Queen Mother got Qiong Hua's medicine, which seems to be very useful, so I took Qiong Hua to Rongle Palace today when I was free."

"I took this road on my way back to the palace. When I got to the Jinxiu Palace, I suddenly remembered something and wanted to tell the Empress."

"Just say it, Noble Consort. Don't be polite."

Song Qingyan continued, "This morning, Your Majesty discussed the Crown Prince's wedding date with me. Did Your Majesty decide to choose August 26th?"

Shen Ning sneered in his heart.

It turned out that he came here for this matter. It seemed that he felt uncomfortable after returning, so he came back to look for me.

At that moment, Shen Ning also wanted to make Song Qingyan unhappy, so she pretended to smile and said, "I still mean what I said this morning. Since Miss Han has reached the age of marriage, it would be better to get married earlier."

Song Qingyan nodded: "What the Queen said is very true, but August 26th is not a good day."

When Shen Ning was about to speak again, he was interrupted by Song Qingyan: "August 26th is the birthday of the late queen."

These words exploded in the queen's mind like thunder.

It turned out to be Song Qingya’s birthday.

Shen Ning suddenly looked up at Song Qingyan, his heart full of doubts. Why did she tell him?

If I had reported this matter to the Emperor of Great Chu today, I would have certainly incurred his wrath, but Song Qingyan helped me out of this dilemma.

What is she planning?

Song Qingyan naturally noticed the uncertainty on her face, so she explained, "I originally thought that if the Empress insisted on choosing this day, Your Majesty would eventually stop her."

"But after returning to the palace, I thought about it and felt that it was disrespectful to the late queen, so I made this trip to the Jinxiu Palace."

"I am sorry to bother Her Majesty the Queen."

Song Qingyan's words were half true and half false, but Shen Ning believed them.

Everyone in the capital knew that Song Qingyan respected Song Qingya. It was because of this respect that she almost became a nun when the Emperor and the Queen Mother of Great Chu allowed her to enter the palace.

But in the end, it was for the sake of the late emperor's offspring that she chose to enter the palace.

If Song Qingyan said that she was doing this to help Shen Ning, then she naturally wouldn't believe it.

But if she said that she did it for her sister, Shen Ning would naturally believe it a little.

When he spoke again, his tone was full of gratitude towards Song Qingyan.

She held Song Qingyan's hand, her face full of gratitude: "I am really indebted to you, Imperial Concubine. I was indeed not thoughtful enough in this matter."

"In that case, let's set the date on September 16th, which is also a very good day."
