Chapter 421: The Stunning Flower Demon in the Palace Fighting Novel (34)
Concubine Chen is Concubine Su.
This news caught everyone in the harem off guard.
The next time Xue Chuyue saw Su Yu was in the Imperial Garden.
Seeing Su Yu, she bowed and saluted: "I pay my respects to Her Majesty the Imperial Concubine Chen. May Your Majesty be well and safe."
Su Yu helped her up and said, "Get up."
The Imperial Garden has a varied landscape, and even in winter, precious flowers and plants carefully cultivated in the greenhouses compete for beauty.
When she just came here, Su Yu felt that this place was familiar.
Xue Chuyue had been to the Imperial Garden many times, and said with a smile: "It was here that the concubine and the queen met."
★When they first met, she was a selected lady who had just entered the palace, and Su Yu was a little maidservant beside His Majesty. Now, three years have passed, she is Concubine Xue, and Su Yu has become Concubine Chen.
Time flies.
The two had no old feelings to reminisce about, and soon went their separate ways.
Xue Chuyue stared at Su Yu's back for a long time: "I thought His Majesty had a new lover and had long forgotten Lady Su."
When Xue Chuyue knew that Su Yu was Concubine Chen, she stared at her back for a long time like she was doing now, and the shock in her heart was no less than that of Concubine Ning.
The only difference is that she is not as crazy as Concubine Ning.
"It turns out that Lady Su is Concubine Chen."
I thought it was a new person replacing the old one, but I never expected that after going around in circles, the new person was still Su Yu.
Is there anything funnier in the world than this?
It seems that Your Majesty is still loyal and affectionate.
Speaking of which, the news of Su Yu's death was very strange. She was fine on the day of her birthday. She was stabbed by an assassin and was still alive, but Su Yu, who was fine, died.
At the same time, Shoukang Palace.
The Queen Mother shook her wrist, and the teacup fell to the ground with a bang: "What did you say?"
Xiao Yan repeated patiently: "I want to make Concubine Chen the queen."
The Queen Mother felt dizzy and held her head for a long time.
"I don't agree!" The Queen Mother slammed the table with a bang, and the palace maids and eunuchs in the palace trembled.
"The matter of establishing a queen involves many things. I have no problem with you making her a noble concubine, but establishing her as the queen is absolutely not allowed!"
Xiao Yan chuckled, "Mother, I am not asking for your opinion, but to inform you that I have asked the Imperial Astronomical Observatory to select an auspicious date. Mother, please remember to show up at that time. In addition, the matter of conferring the title of Queen is complicated. In order to save you from the trouble, I will leave it to Xiao Dezi and the Ministry of Rites to handle it."
The Queen Mother almost fainted from anger. She pointed at Xiao Yan's nose and said, "You! You are unfilial! You bastard!"
Xiao Yan did not pay attention to this accusation: "I will take my leave."
After saying that, he stood up and walked out.
The Queen Mother gritted her teeth in anger and said, "What an ungrateful bastard! As expected, if it's not your own child, you can't tame it!"
The nanny was so scared that sweat broke out on her forehead: "Madam, please keep your voice down."
Outside the door, Xiao Yan paused for a moment, then continued walking out with a normal expression.
Xiao Yan had complicated feelings towards the Queen Mother.
The Queen Mother was grateful for his education, but she was also responsible for the dethronement of the Crown Prince.
He grew up in the Empress Dowager's palace until he was ten years old.
That year, the Queen Mother, who was still the Empress, was found to be pregnant. The imperial physician asserted that it was most likely a boy. Perhaps in order to have her own child, she took advantage of Concubine Zhao's affair and pushed for the dethronement of the Crown Prince.
Who would have thought that I would suddenly miscarry when I was four months pregnant.
Considering the kindness he showed her in his childhood, Xiao Yan would not do anything to the empress dowager. However, if some people failed to recognize the reality and tried to point fingers at him, Xiao Yan would not show mercy.
The end of the year arrived amid heavy snow.
At the New Year’s Eve banquet, Su Yu made her first public appearance.
The concubines already knew her identity and cursed her behind her back, but they still had to be polite to her at the banquet.
The Queen Mother did not attend the event, citing a cold as an excuse.
The imperial kitchen was some distance away from where the banquet was held, and no matter how hot the food was, it would have become cold by the time it reached the banquet after having been transported through the snow. Therefore, the main activity at the banquet was drinking and watching dancing.
The dancers in the palace were indeed excellent dancers, no wonder Xiao Yan said that the dancers were just average when he was in Yunzhou City.
"His Majesty."
Concubine Shu suddenly spoke, attracting everyone's attention.
She came over with a glass of wine in her hand and toasted Xiao Yan: "Congratulations on the New Year. I offer a toast to your majesty. I wish your majesty good health and great fortune."
Xiao Yan looked at her and said nothing. He motioned Xiao Dezi to pour him some wine, then he tilted his head back and drank it.
Thinking of the decision in his heart, Xiao Yan became much more tolerant when facing the concubines in the harem.
We haven't seen each other many times.
Concubine Shu also drank the wine in her hand.
Unexpectedly, his sleeves were too wide and when he turned around, he accidentally knocked over the wine glass on Su Yu's table.
Su Yu: “…”
Why can’t I escape the fate of getting my clothes dirty wherever I go?
Concubine Shu panicked and apologized: "Your Majesty, please forgive me. I didn't mean to do that."
Everyone knows that Su Yu is the apple of Xiao Yan's eye now, so even if it was intentional, he would have to say it was not true.
Xiao Yan looked at her sullenly, and considering the New Year and the decision made a few days ago, he did not lose his temper, but just asked someone to take Su Yu downstairs to change clothes.
Concubine Shu curled the corners of her lips.
Her people had already lit aphrodisiac incense in the side hall. As long as Su Yu went there and was knocked unconscious, the person who had been arranged in advance would take off all his clothes and hold Su Yu in his arms and lie on the bed.
Adultery is a capital crime, and she doesn't believe that His Majesty will still protect Su Yu at that time.
Su Yu glanced at Concubine Shu. With the system and the rabbit monster informing her, she already knew what Concubine Shu was going to do. Monsters would not be harmed so easily by mortals.
Just sometimes I get bored.
It is much freer and more comfortable outside the palace.
Since Concubine Shu gave the blessing, it was natural for others to do the same.
"You don't need to come over to give your congratulatory speech after this. You can just say it from your seat."
Almost all the good words such as peace and prosperity in the country, good weather, wise and powerful, and stable country have been said.
When it was Xue Chuyue's turn, she stood up and said something that shocked and despised all the concubines: "I wish your Majesty and Concubine Chen a long and happy marriage."
Who would wish her man to live happily with another woman?
Unfortunately, Xiao Yan was easily fooled by this: "Reward."
Xue Chuyue ignored the contemptuous looks from the people around her and bowed to express her gratitude: "Thank you, Your Majesty, for the reward."
The pearl earrings on the earlobes reflected the candlelight. Xiao Yan's eyes flashed and he looked over, feeling that the earrings looked familiar.
After taking a closer look, I suddenly remembered.
Back then, when Su Yu was still a palace maid and served him, she picked up an earring and hid it in her arms. It accidentally fell out and was seen by him. It seemed to be of this style.
Xue Chuyue saw Xiao Yan staring at her, her cheeks slightly reddened: "Your Majesty?"
Xiao Yan said indifferently: "These earrings are ugly, take them off."
Xue Chuyue was stunned, responded nervously, and took off her earrings as she sat down.
Concubine An beside him mocked: "Flattering to gain favor."
Xue Chuyue just pretended not to hear. What's wrong with flattering to win favor? It was just to please the emperor. It was better than having no favor and no status. At least His Majesty would remember her.
But sometimes Xue Chuyue would feel sad.
It would be great if there was a way to leave the palace, but unfortunately, unless something unexpected happens, she will be trapped within these palace walls for the rest of her life.
