Chapter 280 The Great Chu Emperor Agrees
After the Queen Mother said this, Concubine Wen could no longer refuse.
Song Qingyan looked at Concubine Wen and could naturally see her entanglement.
[I'm afraid that the Imperial Grandmother has not discussed this matter with the Emperor. I think the Emperor is not willing to let the child be raised by Concubine Wen.]
[After all, Concubine Wen was a foreign woman, not to mention a princess from an enemy country. ]
[I don’t think my father would allow it.]
It was only with Lu Xingwan's reminder that Song Qingyan realized this.
I have to say that sometimes Wanwan analyzes things much more deeply than I do.
Suddenly, a thought flashed through Song Qingyan's mind. If Wanwan led troops to fight, he would definitely be defeated by her.
But the sound of Concubine Wen speaking again interrupted Song Qingyan's imagination.
Concubine Wen naturally stood up and respectfully saluted the Queen Mother: "Of course I am willing. Now that Jin Rui has grown up, I am indeed very bored in the palace."
I just don't know whether Your Majesty will agree.
Concubine Wen did not say the last sentence.
Seeing that Concubine Wen agreed, the Queen Mother gave up her original intention of discussing with Song Qingyan, and smiled and pulled Concubine Wen to brag again and again.
Until Concubine Wen left Rongle Palace.
However, Song Qingyan stayed, using the excuse that she had something to say to the Queen Mother.
Seeing Concubine Wen walking away, before the Queen Mother could ask, Song Qingyan said straight to the point: "Queen Mother, I think Concubine Wen should ask Your Majesty for his opinion on raising the Seventh Princess."
"The Seventh Princess is still young, and Concubine Wen is a princess from an enemy country. I wonder if His Majesty will agree."
The Queen Mother then realized that she had forgotten this.
"You have thought this through very carefully. I have not thought it through enough."
Thinking about it carefully, Concubine Wen didn't seem to be suitable, so she asked again: "Does Qingyan have a suitable candidate?"
Song Qingyan just shook her head.
She did have a candidate in mind, but she still had to ask her opinion first.
Not long after Song Qingyan left Rongle Palace, she ran into Concubine Wen who was waiting for her nearby.
He hurriedly walked up to her and said, "Sister Wen."
Concubine Wen smiled and responded: "Sister Chen is back."
As she spoke, she wanted to take Lu Xingwan from Jinyu's arms. Naturally, Lu Xingwan rushed towards her happily.
[Wanwan likes Empress Wen and Empress Lan the most. You are both my good empresses.]
Song Qingyan couldn't help but roll her eyes in her heart. This little girl, who can't speak yet, has such a sweet mouth. If she can speak in the future, the concubines in the palace will probably be coaxed around by her little mouth.
"My brother has replied," Concubine Wen whispered in Song Qingyan's ear as she walked forward with Lu Xingwan in her arms, "He said that he hasn't found the whereabouts of the assassin yet, and he will keep an eye on him in the future."
"As soon as there is news, my brother will write to me."
Song Qingyan nodded. After all, she didn't have much hope for this matter.
Then he whispered in Concubine Wen's ear: "I think Sister Wen likes the Seventh Princess very much."
Concubine Wen nodded: "I saw that little girl a few days ago. She was very smart and cute."
At this point, Concubine Wen suddenly looked disappointed: "But with my status, I'm afraid His Majesty may not allow it."
Seeing that she understood the matter, Song Qingyan also said directly: "I just talked about this matter with the Queen Mother. In the end, I still have to explain it to Your Majesty to avoid any resentment later."
"Sister Wen, don't hold out too much hope."
Concubine Wen nodded, but there was a bitter smile on her face.
Seeing her like this, Lu Xingwan suddenly came forward and kissed her.
[Empress Wen is so pitiful. She married to a foreign country all by herself, became someone's concubine, and was even harmed by him.]
【It is very difficult to adopt a baby nowadays. 】
Concubine Wen was stunned for a moment and looked at Lu Xingwan with surprise.
Then he started laughing again.
However, every word of Lu Xingwan and Song Qingyan's conversation reached the ears of the Great Chu Emperor who was passing by.
"What do you mean don't have too much hope?" The Great Chu Emperor deliberately teased Song Qingyan.
Several people hurriedly raised their heads and looked forward, and sure enough, it was the figure of the Emperor of Great Chu.
He hurried forward and greeted him.
Lu Xingwan also stretched out her little hands to ask the Emperor of Chu for a hug.
[It’s been a long time since I last saw my dear father! 】
[Although my mother is just your concubine, I will love you well because you are so kind to her.]
[As long as you don't act like a tyrant and suddenly chop me down.]
After hearing Lu Xingwan's last words, the Emperor of Great Chu couldn't help but laugh. He walked forward and pretended to kiss Lu Xingwan, then turned to look at Song Qingyan.
Just when Song Qingyan was hesitating, Concubine Wen suddenly mustered up the courage.
"In reply to your Majesty, the Queen Mother just asked me to go to Rongle Palace to have a talk. Speaking of which..."
Having said this, Concubine Wen suddenly turned her head to look at Song Qingyan, as if she needed encouragement.
"Now that Shupin has passed away, there is no one to take care of the Seventh Princess." When Concubine Wen said this, her voice suddenly became softer. "I wonder if I can take care of the Seventh Princess?"
The Emperor of Great Chu had just heard what Lu Xingwan was thinking and had already made a decision.
Wanwan was right. Concubine Wen was alone in the deep palace and was really lonely. It would be good for her to have a child to keep her company.
"Of course you can," Concubine Wen did not expect the Great Chu Emperor to agree so readily, "as long as you don't mind the child being a nuisance."
Concubine Wen nodded hurriedly: "Of course I am willing."
As he spoke, he bowed and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your help."
Seeing His Majesty's agreement, Song Qingyan happily raised Concubine Wen's arm and said, "Congratulations, sister."
The few of them were in rare harmony.
But often, this kind of harmony does not last long.
Soon, a little palace maid came running over here in a hurry: "Greetings to His Majesty."
The Great Chu Emperor couldn't help but frown upon seeing this.
Lu Xingwan couldn't help but mutter.
【I knew it.】
[Often such a happy scene will be broken by a strange person who suddenly appears. ]
[Let me guess, which princess jumped into the lake? Or which concubine is feeling unwell again? ]
The Great Chu Emperor listened to Lu Xingwan's mumbling, and his mood was not so bad. He lowered his head and looked at the little maid kneeling on the ground in front of him: "Which palace are you from?"
"In reply to your Majesty, I am a servant of Concubine Yao in Ruisi Palace..."
But before she could finish her words, she was interrupted by the Emperor of Chu.
When the Emperor of Great Chu heard that it was someone close to Concubine Yao, he was indeed very unhappy.
When he spoke again, his tone was no longer as gentle as before: "I just locked her up for a day, and she couldn't stand it anymore? I see that she is becoming more capable now!"
Song Qingyan raised her head and looked at the Emperor of Great Chu in surprise. He actually confined Concubine Yao?
