Chapter 288: The Emperor Returns to the Palace
After Su Juan left, Concubine Jing waited in Qingren Palace for a long time before Su Juan returned to Qingren Palace, but Su Juan was the only one who came back, and the eldest princess was nowhere to be seen.
"What about the Celestial Princess? Didn't find it? Concubine Jing showed a worried look on her face, it would be bad if something happened to the eldest princess at this juncture.
Su Juan shook her head, glanced at Concubine Jing's expression, and said, "Eldest princess, go...... went to Shou'an Palace, unwilling to come back with the slave. ”
Concubine Jing was stunned when she heard this, and then snorted coldly, "She will find a backer for herself." ”
The eldest princess hid in Shou'an Palace, and she couldn't chase Shou'an Palace, forcing the eldest princess to go to the emperor to plead with the He family.
Concubine Jing sighed.
That's it, that's it, it's okay, if the eldest princess doesn't go to the emperor to intercede for the He family, the affairs of the He family will not involve the eldest princess.
And as the daughter of the He family, even if interceding for the He family might annoy the emperor, she couldn't help it.
In Biyun Palace, after Princess Fengqing heard He Xiangming's matter, she frowned and asked, "Does Concubine Jing know?" ”
Xin Yan replied: "The news has spread, and Concubine Jing must already know." ”
"It's not a good news to come." Princess Fengqing shook her head and said, "Concubine Jing must not be in the mood to care about the fifth prince's smallpox now, right?" ”
Concubine Jing didn't go to investigate this, didn't all the arrangements she made in vain?
"Mother, what now?" Xin Yan asked.
Princess Fengqing thought for a while and said, "Wait for the emperor to come back." ”
It is said that the emperor is almost in the capital, and they should be able to return to the palace the day after tomorrow at the latest.
It was noon when Luo Chengjing returned to the palace.
In the past, Lu Yuning was taking a nap at this time, and today she was going to meet Luo Chengjing, and Lu Yuning could only sacrifice her nap time.
But in the past, I was used to sleeping at this time, and pregnant people were already sleepy, and when Lu Yuning stood at the gate of the palace, her spirit was still a little sluggish.
Lu Yuning has been pregnant for more than five months now, and the curvature of her belly bulge is also very obvious, even if Lu Yuning's clothes are thicker and looser, the more sensitive concubines in the harem have also noticed the difference in Lu Yuning's belly.
Lu Yuning didn't seem to notice the gaze of everyone who fell on her stomach without a trace, and stood there calmly to resist the constant drowsiness.
She is content to hide her pregnancy until now, and her belly is bigger day by day, unless she doesn't take half a step out of Ruichang Palace in the future, otherwise she will definitely not be able to hide it.
Just when Lu Yuning was drowsy, Luo Chengjing's royal palace entered the palace.
Lu Yuning pulled the four princesses and everyone to kneel and salute together.
The fourth princess who was kneeling on the ground and rolling her eyes around dishonestly looked at the figure walking down from the royal bowl and didn't react at first, but after a while, she seemed to remember, got up from the ground, and ran towards Luo Chengjing with a shout of "Father".
Luo Chengjing bent down and picked up the fourth princess who ran towards him from the ground, and asked with a smile, "Does Chun'er miss his father?" ”
The eldest princess knelt beside Concubine Jing, raised her eyes slightly and glanced at the fourth princess who was held in Luo Chengjing's arms, and lowered her eyes to hide the jealousy in her eyes.
The fourth princess nodded, and said with some grievances: "I miss my father, but my father is not here." ”
"Isn't my father back?"
"Father is not leaving."
"Okay, my father won't leave."
Luo Chengjing smiled and rubbed the soft hair of the fourth princess, and then called out to everyone who was still kneeling on the ground.
After Lu Yuning got up carefully with the support of Qingzhi and Qingdai, she saw Luo Chengjing's eyes fall on her.
But soon Luo Chengjing looked away again, let everyone disperse, and went back to the palace to rest.
And although Luo Chengjing himself took the royal ride all the way, he was inevitably dusty, and he also needed to go back to Jianzhang Palace to freshen up and change clothes, and then he had to go to the Queen Mother to say goodbye, deal with the affairs of the He family, and see King Ning and several important ministers in the court.
For a while, I don't have time to take care of my children's affection.
The fourth princess was also taken away by Lu Yuning.
As soon as Lu Yuning returned to Ruichang Palace, she couldn't suppress her sleepiness, yawned a little, and urged Qingzhi and Qingdai to remove the hairpin ring jewelry for herself, and Lu Yuning lay back on the bed to make up for her afternoon nap.
And Concubine Jing, who returned to Qingren Palace, has been paying attention to Luo Chengjing's movements, and knowing that Luo Chengjing returned to Jianzhang Palace after inviting the Queen Mother, she hurriedly rushed over with Su Juan.
was blocked by Lian Yongwang outside the gate of Jianzhang Palace.
Concubine Jing could only stand outside the Jianzhang Palace and wait.
Concubine Kejing waited for half an afternoon, and she didn't wait for Luo Chengjing's summons.
Su Juan moved her numb leg slightly, and whispered to Concubine Jing: "Niangniang, the emperor has just returned to the palace, and there are more things, or let's go back first." ”
Concubine Jing shook her head and said, "No, I have to wait for the emperor to see the emperor before he disposes of the He family." "If you wait for the emperor's decree to be issued, it will be too late.
Su Juan couldn't, so she could only accompany Concubine Jing to wait outside the Jianzhang Palace.
Seeing that it was getting late, Concubine Jing, who had been waiting outside Jianzhang Palace for several hours, was almost frozen, and suddenly saw Yuan En walking out of Jianzhang Palace.
Concubine Jing thought that the emperor was finally willing to see her, and she looked overjoyed.
It's just that Concubine Jing's smile hasn't spread from the corner of her mouth yet, and Yuan Eun has passed past her.
Concubine Jing lowered the corners of her mouth and hurriedly called Yuan En.
"Father-in-law Yuanen, please ask the emperor if he is done? I wonder when the emperor will have time to see me? ”
Concubine Jing froze outside the gate of Jianzhang Palace for an afternoon, her face was a little blue at this time, Yuan En looked at her appearance, shook her head and said: "Concubine Jing, the emperor may not have time to see you for the time being, the emperor left King Ning and a few adults to eat, and the little one is going to the dining room to pass the meal at this time on the order of the master, so you should go back first." ”
Yuan En turned around and left after speaking, the things He Xiangming did, the emperor copied the He family, and Concubine Jing still wanted to intercede for the He family, so it was strange that the emperor would meet her.
Concubine Jing pursed her lips as she looked at the back of Yuan En's departure, and continued to wait at the gate of Jianzhang Palace.
When Yuan En came back from the dining room, Concubine Jing stopped Yuan En again and said, "Father-in-law Yuan En, please pass it on for me again." ”
Yuan En did not refuse, and after entering, he and Master Lian Yongwang whispered: "Concubine Jing is still waiting outside." ”
"Let's wait." After Lian Yongwang spoke, he led Yuan En to start setting the meal.
Yuan Eun also stopped talking.
Outside the door, Su Juan, who was cold and hungry, and her legs had long been unconscious, glanced at Concubine Jing who was looking at the gate of Jianzhang Palace with fixed eyes, and couldn't help but persuade again: "Niangniang, the emperor doesn't want to see you, it's useless for us to wait here, why don't we go back and find another way?" ”
