"Forget it! After the concubines leave, ask Su to come and find me alone." Chen thought about it and changed her words.

"My queen, will this alert the enemy?" Caizhi asked.

"No! Su is also a poor person. It's normal for me to comfort her." Chen said with a smile.

"Yes!" Caizhi said with a smile.

Nanxiang looked up at the sky. The sun was covered by thick dark clouds. It didn't look like it was going to snow, but rather like it was going to rain.

"Kikuhei, how long have we been out?"

"My lady, it has been more than two hours." Kikuhei said softly.

"It's been two hours. It's about time for us to go back. I'm a little tired too." Nanxiang handed the purse back to Caiyun.

Then he turned to look at Pei and asked with a smile, "Haha. Sister is a little tired. I wonder if you want to go shopping again?"

Pei talked to her a lot today, all about how she met the emperor and how she fell in love with the emperor.

Nanxiang found it extremely interesting, as if she was listening to a romance novel about a secret crush.

"I'll go with my sister. I think the sky is getting a lot darker." Pei said with a chuckle.

"In that case, let's go to the Queen to say goodbye."

"Just do as my sister says."

Nanxiang and Pei said goodbye to the queen and left.

Upon hearing this, the Queen immediately allowed him to go, which surprised Nan Xiang.

The Queen's attitude towards her was not like this before. I wonder if she knew that she could not get any benefit from her.

When Nanxiang returned to Wangyueju, it was snowing lightly.

It's a bit cold. It must be the snow that fell after the rain froze. It's a little different from ordinary snow.

After Nanxiang asked Chunyue to make some cakes, she went to bed and prepared to take a nap.

……

Jingren Palace.

Not long after Nanxiang said goodbye to her, concubines came to say goodbye to her one after another.

"Empress. These concubines are a little too concerned. After Concubine Song came to say farewell, they all came." Caizhi watched the concubines leave one by one.

"Someone has to step forward." The queen was open-minded.

Her purpose today was just to get acquainted with the new concubines. She wanted them to move around more often when they had nothing to do. Maybe they would run into the emperor, and then he would favor them.

However, these concubines seemed a little slow-witted. They were either looking at the scenery or chatting. No one really tried to meet the emperor in the imperial garden.

After the queen finished speaking, she saw a pretty lady slowly walking towards Jingyuexuan.

The person who came was Su from Tingxue Hall.

At this moment, there was not a trace of joy on Su's face. She seemed to have suffered a great injustice and was extremely unwilling in her heart.

Seeing this, Chen nodded with satisfaction.

Such people are the easiest to control, as long as you give them some sweet treats.

"Caizhi, go prepare a cup of tea." Chen ordered Caizhi.

After a while, Su arrived in the pavilion and stood in front of Chen.

She squatted down and said, "I pay my respects to Her Majesty the Queen!"

"Well. Get up." Chen said softly.

"Sister, are you enjoying your stroll in the Imperial Garden today?"

"Thank you for your concern, Your Majesty. I am very satisfied with the scenery of the Imperial Garden." Su said, trying hard to force a smile.

"That's good. Sit down! Come and try the fragrant tea I brought." Chen said to Su.

Before, apart from Song, she had not taken a good look at other concubines. Now, Su looked quite pretty, but her clothes were really not good and her taste in clothes was really poor.

Caizhi handed the teacup to Su.

He said respectfully, "Su promised to have tea!"

"Thank you, Her Majesty!" Su said with some surprise.

When she saw the concubines said something to the queen and then left together, she was also thinking about saying goodbye and leaving, but she didn't expect the queen to invite her for tea.

"I was very worried when I heard that my sister was chosen by the emperor but was unable to sleep with him. So I wanted to talk to you today." Chen said in a worried tone.

"Thank you for your concern, Queen. I feel much better." Su was a little surprised when she heard this, and she couldn't guess what the Queen was thinking.

"In fact, it was something unexpected that day, otherwise my sister would have been the first of the new concubines to sleep with me."

Su had heard something about what happened that day, but she was not at the scene after all, so many things were just hearsay, and some lies became true.

The most truthful thing she heard was that Xiang had been demoted, which made her worried for several days.

"The princess was poisoned that night, and the emperor was extremely worried. He was busy until the next night. But he neglected his younger sister." Chen continued.

"I have heard some of this. But I am unlucky and don't have this blessing."

"What are you talking about, sister? If there was nothing special about me, would I have chosen you among the new concubines? There must be something about me that attracts the emperor." Upon hearing this, Chen denied it immediately and analyzed the situation to Su in a sincere manner.

Upon hearing this, Su was also deeply moved.

Yes, if the emperor was not curious about her at all, he would not have chosen her card that night.

She had been so immersed in the anxiety of failing to serve the emperor in bed that she had forgotten her own unique features.

But she began to wonder again, what was it about her that attracted the emperor?

"Thank you, Queen. It was my sister who was possessed by a demon before." After Su figured it out, she felt much more relaxed and began to smile naturally.

"Did something happen between you and Sister Song? I just heard from the servants that you two had an argument." Chen asked with a frown.

After Su drank a sip of the fragrant tea, she felt her whole body warmer.

"I said the wrong thing. Sister Song reminded me with good intentions. I was the one who thought too much!" Su said with some guilt.

"It's good that nothing happened. This kind of thing should not happen in the royal land. After all, the Imperial Garden is under the emperor's nose. It would not be good if it got to the emperor's ears." Chen said leisurely.

Su thought for a moment after hearing this.

How could she not see the hidden meaning in the Queen's words?

"It would be bad if the emperor heard about this!"

"Sister, do you think I am enjoying drinking this tea?" Chen asked with a smile.

"Your Majesty's tea is delicious." Su said with a smile on her face.

"That's good!"

"I see it's getting dark. It's better for you to return to the palace as soon as possible. I will talk to the emperor later and he will definitely not treat you unfairly."

Chen saw that Su's expression had improved a lot, so she must have figured it out. At least the other party should understand what she meant.

"Thank you very much, Your Majesty, for your consideration! I can never repay your kindness!" Upon hearing this, Su stood up and saluted with a look of joy on her face.

"There's no need to say such things to our own sisters!" Chen said softly, looking at Su with approval.

"I am also tired. I will return to the palace first."

After saying that, Chen stood up and left.

Su stared at the Queen's leaving back, lost in thought.

It seems that he has made a decision in his heart!

"Lily, when I was down and out, it seemed like the Queen was the only one who could help me untie the knot in my heart." Su whispered to Lily, her eyes full of complexity and a slight blush.

"The Queen is indeed thinking about the young lady!" Lily echoed, and in her heart she couldn't help but elevate the Queen to a higher level, while Nanxiang of Wangyueju was relegated to the bottom level.
