Chapter 23 The Cold and Suspicious Emperor Favors the Beautiful Cook



Song Jingyan's eyes darkened. He had ignored Yuehua's behavior before, but now she pushed Xu Chu into the river in front of everyone.

This time, it was thanks to the Queen that Xu Chu was able to save his life, otherwise there would have been two deaths.

"This time, I will not be soft-hearted."

He remembered the last time the queen had a miscarriage. A baby that was almost born was gone. Some people said that it was the princess who came, but no one saw it with their own eyes, so there was no evidence.

"But she is still your blood relative, the Emperor, and my imperial granddaughter." The Queen Mother sighed.

"Mother, if I don't punish her, how can I maintain my authority among the ministers in the future?"

The Queen Mother also understood the Emperor's dilemma, "Then give Yuehua thirty lashes of the cane and fine her one year's salary."

"Then we'll say that the princess almost caused a disaster at the instigation of the nanny. We'll have those around Yuehua beaten, those who deserve to be beheaded, and those who should be released from the palace."

"As for the princess..."

At this time, the Queen's voice sounded, "Your Highness and the Queen Mother pay their respects to you."

"Queen, please get up."

After this incident, the Queen Mother had a much different opinion of her.

"Queen, you did a good job this time. What kind of reward do you want?"

Lin Sangyu hesitated for a moment and wanted to refuse, but when she thought about how they were worried about Princess Yuehua, she thought that Yuehua was now registered under her name, so why not do her a favor.

"Empress Dowager, Queen, I don't want any reward. I just hope that the Emperor and the Queen Dowager can find a good husband for Yuehua."

"Yuehua is already of marriageable age, it's time to find a good husband."

"After this incident, it's unrealistic for her to stay in the palace for a long time given her personality. After punishing her, we'll let her get married as soon as possible."

"Getting married?"

Although Song Jingyan was very annoyed with what Yuehua had done, he was a little reluctant to let her get married.

But Yuehua was in the palace, and he was worried that she would cause trouble for Xu Chu.

"This is indeed a good suggestion." Song Jingyan praised.

The next second, the Queen Mother slowly raised her eyes and asked, "Could it be that you have already chosen a candidate for the Queen?"

"He's the third son of the Prime Minister's Mansion."

"The Third Young Master is a legitimate son, but he doesn't hold a title. I've heard he's a humble and polite scholar, and his personality perfectly complements Dao Ran and Yue Hua."

When Song Jingyan heard about the third son of the Prime Minister's Mansion, his face darkened. "He is from the Prime Minister's Mansion, so this rule doesn't apply to him."

"But the Third Young Master has no title."

Song Jingyan waved his hand and said, "I'll think about the candidate for this matter again."

Naturally, he hoped that this person was powerless, but not incompetent. He had to look for the new top scholar in recent years.

"Then should I go and visit Concubine Xu?"

"Empress, Concubine Xu is now the Concubine Chen."

A glint of joy flashed in the Queen's eyes. "I, your concubine, thank the Emperor and the Queen Mother on behalf of Xu Chu."

Song Jingyan heard that the Queen and Xu Chu would often discuss Buddhist scriptures and the two would often exchange them.

"You two have become sisters. I wonder what scriptures the Queen and Xu Chu copied?"

The Queen's heart skipped a beat. They had known for a long time that the Emperor would have some doubts, so he would naturally test them.

The Queen recounted the Buddhist scriptures she had discussed over the past month. "Your Majesty, this is what the Concubine Chen and I have studied together."

When Song Jingyan heard this, he felt that there was nothing wrong.

The Empress Dowager also listened to the Empress' discussion of the simplicity of Buddhism and could not help but praise her: "The Empress and the Consort are both rare people. Your Majesty, you must cherish them well."

Song Jingyan nodded, "Yes, behind the scenes."

As soon as the queen walked into the inner room, she saw that Xu Chu had already changed into clean clothes.

As soon as Xu Chu saw the queen, she immediately knelt down and said, "Thank you very much for saving my life."

"Concubine Chen, get up quickly."

Lin Sangyu helped Xu Chu up and said, "Concubine Chen, just take care of your pregnancy. I will solve all the difficulties you encounter for you one by one."

Today, when she saw Song Jingyan going crazy to save Xu Chu, she felt relieved.

It turns out that there is always something that can defeat something else.

Song Jingyan doesn't love her, so he won't cherish her.

Now that Song Jingyan has fallen in love with Xu Chu, should he be happy or sad, because Xu Chu cannot possibly love him.

But she would not tell Song Jingyan that she and Xu Chu came from another parallel world.

Xu Chu naturally heard the hidden meaning in Lin Sangyu's words, "I thank the Queen for her help."

"Okay, then you should be more careful in the future. Now that you are pregnant, you will definitely become everyone's target." Lin Sangyu warned.

Xu Chu still thanked her respectfully: "I thank the Queen for her reminder."

"Okay, then I'll leave first."

"Farewell, Her Majesty."

Not long after the queen left, Song Jingyan walked in. Only after seeing that Xu Chu's face had regained some color did he feel relieved.

"My beloved, please ride in the sedan chair with me to the Chengqian Palace."

"Yes, Your Majesty."

Song Jingyan saw Xu Chu about to kneel down and salute again, but was stopped by Song Jingyan, "I told you not to salute."

"Then I have to thank the emperor."

Song Jingyan was afraid that Xu Chu had not recovered yet, so he just picked Xu Chu up horizontally.

"My beloved, hold me."

Xu Chu obediently followed Song Jingyan's instructions and buried his head in his arms.

Song Jingyan was delighted when he saw her shy look.

"Okay, my beloved, let's go back to the palace."

They had just arrived at Chengqian Hall and found that everything in the main hall had been arranged and all obstacles had been removed.

this……

"Your Majesty, did you arrange this specially for me?"

"Of course, everything is based on you and the dragon race."

Xu Chu wanted to bow again, but Song Jingyan carried her to the bright yellow bed. "My beloved, you should take care of the baby first. Remember not to move around."

As soon as Song Jingyan finished speaking, he said, "Eunuch Fu, have you checked everyone here?"

"Your Majesty, we have checked everything and everything is fine."

Song Jingyan nodded with satisfaction, "Okay."

Then he turned his head and looked at Xu Chu, "Xu Chu, I will go to the Yangxin Palace to review the memorials first. I will come back after reviewing them."

"Your Majesty, go and do your work. I'm fine here."

"Yeah." After Song Jingyan nodded, he did not forget to kiss Xu Chu on the forehead.

"I'll be back soon."

However, just after Song Jingyan left, he heard Princess Yuehua's voice, "Empress Chen, please forgive Yuehua for once."

"Yuehua didn't mean it. Please ask the emperor to retract his order."

"Empress Chen, if you refuse to forgive me, Yuehua will not get up."

No way?

Yuehua actually asked her to forgive him.

She is not a saint, how could she possibly forgive him?
