Chapter 557 Father is preparing to abdicate and let the wise take over?
When Song Qingyan took Lu Xingwan to Qingyun Palace, the palace maids from top to bottom had already been anxiously looking towards the palace gate, waiting for their queen to return.
The queen was not in the palace these days, and although they were not bullied, they were still deserted and naturally felt uncomfortable.
What's more, the queen has always treated these servants very well.
The Great Chu Emperor still held Song Qingyan's hand and did not let go, patiently explaining to her: "Just now, the Crown Prince wanted to go with me to the palace gate to greet you, but the Ministry of War just delivered an urgent letter, so he went to check it out first."
[Father has now handed over all matters to my brother, the Crown Prince? ]
[Father, are you planning to abdicate and let your brother, the Crown Prince, become the Emperor of Great Chu? ]
[Father is still young and strong! He can still do this for a few more years, so why worry so much!]
Listening to Lu Xingwan's words, the Great Chu Emperor suppressed his laughter and shook his head. Wanwan, this girl, was still as mischievous as before.
"Father, the Crown Prince is tired. He needs to rest." Thinking of this, Lu Xingwan couldn't help but speak and said a few words for his Crown Prince.
[Brother Crown Prince has just been married for a short time, you should let him spend more time with the Empress Dowager.]
[Father, is the Empress's wife pregnant now? Come to think of it, I missed the Crown Prince's wedding banquet.]
[I need the prince to give me one more.]
The Great Chu Emperor looked at the cute little baby in front of him and waved his hand nonchalantly: "How can a prince have a rest?"
"When I was the crown prince, I was also very tired."
Song Qingyan couldn't help but stretch out her hand and pinch Lu Xingwan's little nose, and chuckled: "Don't worry, Wanwan, father won't tire the prince brother."
A few people walked towards Qingyun Palace, chatting and laughing.
Outside the Qingyun Palace, not only the maids of the Qingyun Palace, but even the concubines were already waiting here.
Seeing several people coming, it was naturally the current head of the concubines, Concubine Lan, who led everyone to salute: "Greetings to His Majesty, greetings to the Royal Concubine, your servants and others respectfully welcome the Royal Concubine back to the palace."
Song Qingyan couldn't stand such a fight, so she stepped forward and took Lan Fei's hand and stood up: "Sister Lan Fei, you are really embarrassing me."
Then he looked at the people following Concubine Lan and waved at them, "Sisters, please stand up quickly!"
Seeing Song Qingyan like this, Concubine Lan also smiled and said, "Sister, don't be too modest. There are probably only a few concubines who can fight for His Majesty throughout history. In my Great Chu State, you are the only one."
When saying this, Concubine Lan's face was full of pride.
"After all, you have recovered Yuefeng Kingdom for His Majesty, and His Majesty is smiling from ear to ear every day!"
Concubine Lan looked at the Emperor of Great Chu who was standing next to Song Qingyan with a smile. The concubines following behind Concubine Lan also smiled at the happy atmosphere in front of them.
[Father, it’s time for Concubine Lan to be promoted. She is the most senior among all the concubines.]
[Even if I can't make her an imperial concubine, I'd still be able to make her a concubine! ]
[But you can’t take away mother’s Imperial Concubine and give it to Concubine Lan~ I still like mother to be in a high position and have great power, hehe...]
Only then did Lu Xingwan notice that Concubine Wen was not among the crowd.
[It seems that Concubine Wen has been influenced by the Dali Kingdom. ]
[Come to think of it, even if the emperor doesn't blame her, I'm afraid that the spit of everyone in the harem would drown Concubine Wen.]
[Empress Wen's life was also quite miserable. In the first ten years, she was secretly plotted against by Concubine De, and she lost all her energy and stayed in the palace for so many years.]
[Later, I finally got along well with my mother and Concubine Lan, and was able to leave my own palace, but now I have encountered something like this again.]
[The Emperor of Dali Kingdom is also unreliable. He doesn't care about Concubine Wen's life.]
[If my father was such a tyrannical monarch, Concubine Wen would have been beheaded by now.]
The Emperor of Great Chu suddenly felt that Wanwan was praising him.
It was also the first time he noticed that Concubine Wen seemed to have not appeared in the palace for a long time.
After a moment of silence, he finally asked, "Why haven't you seen Concubine Wen for a while? Is she feeling unwell? If she is, please ask the imperial physician to see her as soon as possible."
"Empress Wen has always been reluctant to bother others, so I hope you can pay more attention to her."
The concubines were all shocked when they heard this. Didn't His Majesty know about this? Or did he not care?
Concubine Lan had never thought that the Great Chu Emperor would have such an attitude towards Concubine Wen. She was naturally happy and nodded hurriedly: "Yes, Your Majesty, I will go to Hanguang Palace to see Sister Wen later."
Her eyes were full of gratitude as she looked towards the Emperor of Great Chu. She knew that once the Emperor of Great Chu said this, it would prove his attitude towards Concubine Wen.
No matter what the emperor of Dali did, as long as your Majesty maintains his attitude, Sister Wenfei will not be neglected in the palace in the future.
[Oh? I didn't expect that my father is such a sentimental person, and he even knows how to protect his concubine! ]
[I think after my father spoke up this time, no one in the palace will dare to mention the Emperor of Dali anymore.]
[Li Cheng is not a good person either. Don't worry, father. When Pei Chuyan returns to Dali next time, let him kill Li Cheng and replace him as the new emperor of Dali.]
[From now on, the Great Chu Kingdom and the Great Li Kingdom can forever be friends! 】
[However, it seems to me that Pei Chuyan is not very willing to stay in Dali Kingdom. ]
After hearing Wanwan's words, the Emperor of Great Chu was somewhat shocked. He and the Duke of An had investigated Pei Chuyan's affairs before, so they naturally knew his background.
However, at that time, since Pei Chuyan had been raised in the Anguo Mansion for many years, the Anguo Duke and his wife were reluctant to send him away.
So after weighing it over and over again, I felt that Pei Chuyan was also a good kid, and finally decided to keep him.
The reason why the Great Chu Emperor kept him in the palace was to prevent him from having any rebellious thoughts.
Sure enough, both he and Duke Anguo were right about Pei Chuyan. He has always been a person of good character.
As they traveled to the Dali Kingdom, the Emperor of Da Chu was actually feeling nervous.
Just now at the palace gate, seeing Pei Chuyan's indifferent look, the Emperor of Great Chu breathed a sigh of relief.
He knew that the child had grown up and there were some things he had to know.
I may have wanted to keep it a secret in the past, but now that things have come to this, there is no need to keep it a secret anymore.
After Qingyan and the others were settled, he still had to talk about this matter with Pei Chuyan.
Lu Xingwan has always been a lively person. While the Emperor of Great Chu and Song Qingyan have not yet recovered from the incident with Concubine Wen, she has already noticed that there seems to be no new faces appearing in the crowd.
