Chapter 407: Paying Respects to the Queen

Perhaps because she hadn't seen the Emperor of Great Chu for a long time, the Queen Mother's thoughts kept jumping.

Suddenly, she thought of what Song Qingyan said today about Concubine Yue being pregnant. The Queen Mother suddenly mentioned Concubine Yue: "I heard from Qingyan that Concubine Yue is pregnant."

The Emperor of Great Chu did not say anything, but his eyes said it all.

The Queen Mother hurriedly continued, "Although you have many children, most of them are princesses. Now there are three concubines in the palace who are pregnant. You must pay more attention to this matter and find someone to take care of them."

"Don't worry, mother. Everything is now taken care of by the Queen. Concubine Lan will naturally lend a hand as well."

Seeing that the emperor understood what was going on, the empress dowager didn't say much, just nodded, and the matter was over.

The next day, Song Qingyan got up very early.

Because it was the first morning after returning to the palace, Song Qingyan always went to Jinxiu Palace to pay her respects, just as a token of her respect.

Shen Ning didn't want her to come. After all, the two of them really disliked each other.

But Song Qingyan appeared in Jinxiu Palace on time.

And this time, she came very early.

[Mother, Concubine Yao is here! ]

[Last time, Concubine Yao kept nagging about your late arrival. Show her some color! ]

Song Qingyan naturally also saw Concubine Yao. She didn't want to argue with her, but Concubine Yao happened to be a talkative person.

Seeing Song Qingyan arrive, he just bowed slightly, then looked around and said to the empress with a smile: "Your Majesty, I didn't see Lady Yue."

Song Qingyan looked up at her and knew that she was preparing to find fault.

[Look, people always say I won't offend others unless they offend me, but this Yaopin is born to find fault. ]

[Every time she came to the Queen's Palace, she would feel uncomfortable if she was not scolded.]

When Lu Xingwan thought of this, Song Qingyan stood up suddenly.

[Mother, next time, please let me know and scare me.]

"Your Majesty, since there is nothing else to do, I will take my leave now."

Concubine Yao glanced at Song Qingyan, seeming to want to say something but stopping herself.

Seeing her like this, Song Qingyan was no longer polite.

"I didn't expect that after I've been away for more than a month, Concubine Yao is still as annoying as before."

As soon as Song Qingyan said this, Concubine Yao's face turned pale, but she didn't dare to say anything. She could only listen to Song Qingyan's scolding.

"Now everyone in the palace knows that Concubine Yue is pregnant and has been traveling a long way, so she needs to rest."

"Even the Empress Dowager has issued an oral order, saying that Concubine Yue should rest in the palace and not have to go around paying respects in the next few days."

"I didn't expect that Concubine Yao's tone is even louder than that of the Empress Dowager."

No matter how domineering Concubine Yao was, she did not dare to admit such an offense, and quickly knelt down: "I didn't know, please forgive me, Your Majesty."

Song Qingyan had no intention of letting her go, and said to the empress: "Your Majesty, please don't be too proud of her. If it really doesn't work, I will report to His Majesty and ask him not to leave her palace before the birth."

After saying this, she bowed to the empress and said, "I will take my leave now."

Then he turned and walked away.

【Mom is so cool now! 】

[I think Concubine Yao is just nagging and stupid. I don't know how the Queen tolerates her.]

[Mother should be like this in the future. This is what a favored concubine should be like! ]

After the previous episode, the Queen's face was a little ugly. She waved her hand and signaled to everyone: "Since there is nothing to do, everyone can go back and rest!"

In reality, it is naturally a bit of a headache.

Although Concubine Yao stayed, she was driven away by the Empress on the pretext of having a headache.

After everyone left, Yue Ran came to Shen Ning, rubbed her gently, and said comfortingly: "Don't worry, Madam. You won't be alive for many days anyway."

"Will he come tonight?" Shen Ning asked softly.

Yue Ran nodded: "Don't worry, Madam, I have already said that I will come."

Shen Ning has been having a headache these past few days. When she counts carefully, she finds that there have been too many failures recently, which have made her feel frustrated.

Why is it so difficult to kill someone?

After Song Qingyan returned to Qingyun Palace, she naturally greeted Concubine Lan and Concubine Wen.

As soon as she came in, Concubine Lan started to apologize: "Sister Chen, it's me who is sorry for you."

"You left Jinxin in the palace, but I didn't take good care of her."

Song Qingyan knew that Concubine Lan would do this, so she quickly spoke to comfort her, "It's okay. The Sixth Princess is the master, and it's okay for her to teach a servant a lesson."

"Don't take it to heart, Sister Lan. She is busy with the affairs of the harem, so how can she keep an eye on Qingyun Palace all the time?"

[That’s right, although Sister Jinxin is pitiful, her sin was not in vain.]

[I heard that the emperor was very angry yesterday and had already driven Lu Xing back to Changqiu Palace and forbade her to come out!]

[He was kept under house arrest for more than a month, and then sent to another place to continue his house arrest.]

【Based on Lu Xinghui's personality, he must be extremely anxious now.】

Concubine Wen naturally brought up the matter of Concubine Yue being pregnant, and Song Qingyan clearly sensed the dissatisfaction in her words.

[Mother, I'm afraid Concubine Wen is feeling sorry for you! ]

[Speaking of which, I am also very conflicted. Sometimes I feel that my father says that he dotes on my mother, but at the same time he keeps having children with other people. Isn’t this really a very strange statement? ]

[But sometimes I feel that good people like Yue Guiren and Le Guiren are really worthy of having a child.]

Song Qingyan didn't care: "Sister, you don't have to worry about this. I like Yue Guiren's personality and I really hope she can have a child of her own."

"Now that Concubine De is gone, I hope that your Majesty's children can be born safely." Speaking of children, Concubine Wen thought of her past and couldn't help feeling sad.

Lan Fei sat beside her, holding her hand and comforting her, "It's all over."

For a moment, the atmosphere in the room was a little...sad.

Suddenly remembering something, Concubine Lan hurriedly asked, "Did Miss Qionghua go to Xingyang Palace yesterday? How is the prince now?"

"I heard that the imperial physician went to see the patient but could not find any results."

"It is said that now all the people in Xingyang Palace are serving outside, and only Jinyu is guarding inside?"

"This child is also a stubborn one..."

Concubine Lan knew very well how much effort Jin Yu had put into the Crown Prince. Now that the Crown Prince was so seriously ill, he naturally could not accept it.

Naturally, in addition to worrying about the prince, he would also worry about his own son.

Worried that his son was traumatized or something because of this incident.

[But the second brother has to watch over the house alone. What if the crown prince wakes up from his sleep and the imperial physician happens to be there? Wouldn't the "evil plot" of the two brothers be discovered?]

[But my second brother didn’t even tell his own mother! ]
