The Legend of Zhen Huan: Entering the Palace to Become the Queen Mother

"Aunt Sun, the Empress Dowager has not been feeling well these past two days. Has Concubine Hua come to visit?"

The emperor asked casually.

"I think Concubine Hua has been busy managing the affairs of the six palaces recently and has not come to see the Empress Dowager."

"The Queen came to visit the Queen Mother this morning, but she left after serving her the medicine."

"But Concubine Li came over yesterday and chatted with the Queen Mother for quite a while."

Aunt Sun said with a smile.

"Lipin."

The emperor repeated the two words with a faint smile on his face.

Concubine Li has always been a gossip, and I think she must have said things that she shouldn't have said in front of the Queen Mother.

Su Peisheng, who was serving beside the emperor, certainly did not miss the disgust in the emperor's eyes, and he also had some concerns about Concubine Li.

Late at night, the eunuch held a plate of green cards and placed it in front of the emperor.

The emperor's eyes swept across the concubines and finally set his sights on Concubine Li.

Su Peisheng immediately understood what he meant when he saw this, and took the green card of Concubine Li.

"This green card of Lipin seems to be covered with dust. What's wrong with you guys? Why don't you take it back and make a new one? Don't send it to me for the time being."

The emperor glanced at Su Peisheng and didn't say much.

Su Peisheng also secretly breathed a sigh of relief, knowing that he had guessed the emperor's thoughts correctly.

"Take it down. I will go to Xiangpin's palace today."

The emperor originally did not want to disturb his own Xier. Xier had gone to bed early these days, so she must have been fast asleep by now. But he couldn't go to Concubine Wan's palace now, and it would be very annoying if he went to other people's palaces.

After much thought, I realized that there is no place for me to go in such a huge palace, so I might as well go and see Xier.

If I really fell asleep, the worst that could happen was that I would just go back to the Yangxin Palace.

Thinking of this, the emperor took his men to Chengqian Palace, but unfortunately Xier had fallen asleep.

The emperor stopped Yuhu, who was about to pay her respects during the night shift, and signaled her not to wake anyone up.

He quietly opened the curtain alone, and saw a beautiful picture of a sleeping crabapple tree in spring.

The emperor reached out and touched Fu Cha Zhixi's face. The other party frowned subconsciously. He was worried that he had woken him up, so he walked out carefully.

After leaving Chengqian Palace, the emperor strolled along the deserted palace road, followed by a series of guards, eunuchs and palace maids.

Suddenly, the emperor walked to a palace gate and stopped subconsciously.

"This is?"

"Your Majesty, this is Concubine Qi's Changchun Palace."

Su Peisheng quickly took over the conversation.

"Concubine Qi, okay, we'll be here tonight."

The emperor pondered for a moment and still decided not to return to the Palace of Tranquil Longevity.

Concubine Qi in Changchun Palace was playing dominoes at this time, and she was enjoying herself alone.

After all, the emperor hasn't been to Changchun Palace for almost half a year. If he doesn't think of some ways to entertain himself, these days will be difficult to get through.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, the Emperor is here."

The eunuch excitedly crawled in from the door and said to Concubine Qi.

"What, what did you say?"

Concubine Qi was a little slow to react for a moment, and subconsciously wanted to stand up and prepare herself, but she almost fell down accidentally. Fortunately, she was supported by the palace maid beside her.

"Your Majesty, the Emperor is at the door and will be in soon."

The next second, the eunuchs' chanting was heard, announcing the emperor's arrival in Changchun Palace.

"Quick, go and get me the new pink cheongsam. The emperor likes me to wear this color the most."

Concubine Qi excitedly gave instructions to the palace maid beside her.

"I will go right away."

The maid quickly responded.

"Greetings to the Emperor, may your Majesty be blessed with peace and blessings."

Just when the palace was in chaos, the emperor walked in with a majestic horse and a golden sword, without much expression on his face.

"Get up."

The emperor spoke.

"How come the emperor came here suddenly? I'm not ready yet."

Concubine Qi subconsciously reached out and touched her hair, then looked at the emperor shyly and said.

"I came when I wanted to."

The Emperor did not have much patience for the aging and fading Concubine Qi. If he had not known where to go for the moment, he would have come to Changchun Palace.

"sit down."

The emperor sat upright on the couch, took the book from Su Peisheng's hand, and began to read it carefully.

He didn't have much desire to chat with this rather stupid woman. After all, most of the time, Concubine Qi's words could choke people to death, and he didn't want to make people uncomfortable.

"Thank you for your consideration, Your Majesty. I will just stand there."

When Concubine Qi saw that the emperor cared about her, she felt very embarrassed and showed him a shy expression.

The emperor used to love seeing her being shy like this, and Concubine Qi subconsciously thought that now the emperor would take the initiative to hold her hand and praise her for being innocent and cute like he did before.

But she didn't expect to be greeted by the emperor's words without any emotion.

"You're blocking my light by standing there."

"Then, the emperor drinks tea. This is chrysanthemum tea, which is for clearing away heat and reducing internal heat."

Concubine Qi was a little at a loss for a moment, but the appearance of her maid helped her find the right way out.

"There's no need to clear away heat in this season."

The emperor spoke in a calm tone without even looking up.

This sentence completely made Concubine Qi's embarrassment, which had finally been relieved, spread all over her body again.

"Your Majesty, the Third Prince has grown taller again."

After thinking about it, Concubine Qi brought up the topic that the emperor was most interested in in the past - the Third Prince.

But this time it did not arouse the emperor's interest, but instead made him feel a little annoyed.

The emperor couldn't help but frown, feeling upset when he thought of his troublesome son.

This child is the eldest son of the emperor. It is impossible for me to say that I do not have high hopes for him. However, he is really a hopeless case. I have taught him so carefully and asked the best masters to impart knowledge to him, but when I ask him, he still knows nothing.

Maybe the mother's stupidity really does affect her child.

He was not inferior to his other brothers in terms of knowledge. It seemed that the third prince did not inherit his intelligence at all. In addition, a loving mother would spoil her son, which directly ruined a good child.

Fortunately, the child in Xier's belly is smart. If he becomes a prince, he will surely achieve something great, and he will not end up without a successor in the future.

He must hand over this huge empire to a smart person.

"Grow taller. He's already an adult, why should he grow taller?"

"No, no, no, he has grown stronger. In order to please Your Majesty, the Third Prince studies diligently every day, and his riding and archery skills have also not fallen behind."

Upon seeing this, Concubine Qi quickly opened her mouth to explain.

"hope so."

The emperor was really not interested in this topic. After all, he knew what kind of person the Third Prince was better than Concubine Qi.
