Since the last time Qiao Lingfu and Jiang Yirou were punished in Fengyu Palace, it was reported that the Queen was unwell in just two days, so the original greetings were skipped again, which made her feel quite free.

As soon as Su Ning'an heard the news, she went to Fengyu Palace and saw the queen reading a book and drinking tea. She was very happy.

"I thought the empress was really angry."

The Queen smiled slightly and said, "Jiang Cairen is too ignorant of propriety. I didn't bother to see her in the first place. It would be better to ask my mother to reprimand her, so as not to make me a bad person."

The two were chatting and laughing when they heard someone from Fengyu Palace reporting that Eunuch Anli was asking for an audience. The queen immediately invited Anli in.

However, Anli was followed by several palace servants holding three or four things, all of which were mild and nourishing.

"Your Majesty, I heard that your Majesty is unwell," An Li said, quickly glancing at the melon seeds, cakes, and various dried fruits on the table, as if he didn't see them, and said with cupped hands, "I would also like to ask your Majesty to live a good life and cultivate yourself. The affairs of the harem are complicated. Your Majesty, you need to take care of yourself."

Suningan looked at the queen and nodded her head as usual, then looked at the snacks on the table. She couldn't help but wipe the tip of her nose with a handkerchief in embarrassment. This, this was obviously a lie...

He glanced at the Queen and Anli again, and they seemed to be unaware of the things on the table.

Alas, alas, after all, she still couldn't master her cultivation.

Suningan tried his best to shrink down so as not to destroy the harmonious scene of visiting patients.

"Concubine Chen, the emperor is with the eldest prince in the imperial garden, and he also invites your concubine to come and accompany him."

Suningan nodded, feeling a little ashamed. Can't you wait for her to come back? What does it mean to send someone to find your wife?

After calming down, he bowed to the queen again and then left.

The queen watched Suningan leave and asked someone to put the things away.

Of course, there was nothing bad about the emperor's things. He still drank half of the tea in his hand and quietly turned over the pages of a book.

······

Ever since she was punished in Fengyu Palace that day, Qiao Lingfu originally wanted to wait quietly for the opportunity, but she couldn't help but become more and more impatient.

Her place was too remote, and the dragon chariot would never have passed by here unless she was intentional. She tried to pass by Jiuxiao Palace several times, but always failed to meet the holy chariot.

I really want to imitate Concubine Chen and go to the imperial court, but I really don’t dare...

Thinking of Concubine Chen, Qiao Lingfu became even more curious. How could a legitimate daughter who had been abandoned by her family, who didn't know how to play chess, calligraphy and painting, and couldn't accompany the emperor to play the harp and compose poems, be so pampered? Could it be that he really has an appearance that confuses all sentient beings?

Speaking of which, after being in the palace for so long, I still haven't paid greetings with the ladies of the palace. I still don't know what Concubine Chen is like after giving birth.

"My young master, I have inquired. The emperor often takes Concubine Chen and the young prince in the imperial garden these days. I might run into them even if you don't go."

Qiao Lingfu was stunned, "Imperial Garden?" Although she was a little timid, she was ready to take action. Even if Concubine Chen was there, it would be nice to show her face in front of the emperor!

Chaolu Palace

Su Ning'an held the child and coaxed her for a long time. The child finally fell asleep clutching her clothes. Then she carefully opened his chubby little hands and walked out of the side hall one step at a time.

"It's all your fault, Your Majesty. What kind of insects did you catch that day? It scared me and I didn't say anything. It also scared the child."

Suningan rubbed his arms, remembering that day in the Imperial Garden, the emperor caught an insect that was like a thin tree trunk from nowhere, and brought it directly in front of their mother and son. Of course, he was startled. But he smiled proudly.

But then, Jiang'er started crying loudly, and she continued like this for several days. She even started crying when she saw a tree trunk, and refused to even come out of the side hall.

So Suningan didn't give the emperor a good look for several days, and naturally refused to let him touch him.

However, seeing the emperor seeing how he couldn't eat but had to endure it every day, he couldn't help but curl up his lips, which was quite proud.

"The wet nurse said that the child was just frightened and will be fine in a few days." Cuizhu helped Suningan walk in the yard and said, "Have you heard about it?"

"What?" He picked a flower and played with it between his fingers, but he heard Cuizhu say: "The sound of the piano in the imperial garden."

Su Ning'an became interested as soon as she heard this, "But there was a supernatural incident in the palace in the middle of the night?"

"Ah?" Cuizhu frowned, "My dear, you'd better not read those books about ghosts and strange things, they're really scary. The same goes for Le Xiuyi, why are I reading those books to you?"

"Hmph, people have said that humans are scarier than ghosts! And haven't they all said that, palaces, back houses, battlefields, the more people die in a place, the easier it is for these to happen. Think about it, for thousands of years Come on, how many people have died here? We can’t save them all, so..."

Cuizhu boldly covered Suningan's mouth and said, "My good lady, I'm talking about Qiao Cairen."

Suningan raised her eyebrows and said inexplicably: "What's wrong with her?"

"Perhaps Qiao Cairen wanted to be favored. In the past few days, he had been playing and playing in the imperial garden with his piano in his arms. Before the emperor came, he didn't say anything, but he offended Concubine De. The day before yesterday, Concubine De punished her by kneeling down in the imperial garden. I played the piano till night, and my hands were all broken.”

Su Ning'an couldn't help laughing as she listened, "Concubine De's method of punishing people hasn't changed much."

Su Ning'an had heard about Qiao Cairen before, but he didn't pay much attention to it.

After a day or two, the child gradually got better and was no longer easily frightened. But just after eating, he pestered her to play, and ended up vomiting the food all over her.

Suningan frowned and poked his forehead as punishment, then called someone to prepare water for a bath.

"Your Majesty, your hair isn't dry yet." Su Ning'an was wearing an extremely plain silk dress with a thin gauze cover, and a simple mutton-fat white jade hanging from her waist.

"It doesn't matter, the sun is so strong today, just take a ray. It's just right. Let's go to the Imperial Garden and pick some beautiful flowers." Suningan said and sat down, letting Cuizhu help her comb her hair. , "I have been pestered by Jiang'er these past few days, and I can't even go out."

In the royal garden, flowers are blooming, bright and fresh.

Qiao Lingfu sat in the pavilion, spreading out a piece of rice paper with various paints next to it.

"The weather is so hot, young master, why don't you go back to the palace first? What should you do if you get sunburned?" Qiao'er looked at the sun and couldn't help but advise.

"How can I give up after working hard for so many days? Maybe I can meet the emperor today!" Then he began to draw on the rice paper. "Concubine De won't let me play the piano, so painting won't disturb her, right?"

Qiaoer pursed her lips and said no more. However, if my master is so progressive, if he becomes favored in the future, he will be able to drink soup too. How great!

So she secretly cheered for Qiao Lingfu.

"My lord, look, it's the emperor."

Qiao Lingfu looked in the direction Qiaoer pointed, and sure enough she saw a bright yellow figure walking from the other side in the imperial garden, "Quick, quick!"

Qiao'er nodded. Even if he was competing for favor, he had to do it casually. He definitely couldn't run straight in front of the emperor to paint. So he pointed to a cluster of flowers in full bloom and raised his voice slightly: "Your Majesty, look at this. The flowers are blooming beautifully, how about your Majesty painting this today?"

Before Qiaoer finished speaking, Qiao Lingfu picked up the pen and said in a slightly louder voice, "Okay."

The two masters and servants looked to the other side with their peripheral vision. Unexpectedly, the emperor actually skipped this place and walked not far away. He directly looked at the palace with long hair hanging down and wearing pink clothes. From a distance, it looked very white. The maid held her in her arms, feeling very intimate.

Qiao Lingfu held the pen tightly and gritted her teeth and said: "Where is the palace maid who is so imprudent and dressed in such a charming way that she dares to seduce the Holy Emperor in public!"
