Chapter 170 The emperor’s heart is unpredictable
It was obvious that the bastard did it on purpose, as a return gift to her for the time she stabbed him unconscious with a needle.
He really never forgets to take revenge!
Yan Qingning felt her scalp tingling whenever she thought about being called "Shi Dahua" or "Shi Dahua" wherever she went.
He picked up the teacup beside him and took a sip to hide the expression on his face.
At this moment, a palace maid came in with small steps and reported: "Your Majesty, the Imperial Eunuch Chen is here."
"Eunuch Chen?"
Concubine Hui's expression became more serious. Why was the chief steward coming here at this time?
But he couldn't be negligent, so he waved his hand and said, "Let Chen Dajian come in."
The maid left, and after a while, Chen Dajian came in with a snow-white whisk on his arm, and bowed to Concubine Hui, "Chen Dezhong greets Concubine Hui!"
Without waiting for Concubine Hui to ask, Chen Dajian directly stated his purpose, "I am here on the orders of His Majesty to invite Concubine Ning to Chonghua Palace."
Concubine Hui was a little surprised. She glanced at Yan Qingning and then asked, "Grand Eunuch, I wonder why His Majesty summoned Concubine Ning?"
Yan Qingning was even more surprised what the emperor wanted her to do there. She didn't want to have much contact with anyone in the royal family.
Otherwise, she wouldn't be so low-key every time she entered the palace.
Could this be what Chu Beiqing meant?
Chen Dajian was still replying to Concubine Hui. He could see that Concubine Hui had taken a fancy to Concubine Ning, but he would not casually tell anyone about the emperor. He said with a flawless smile on his face, "Don't worry, Concubine Hui. The emperor is also concerned about our Prince Qing. He heard that Concubine Ning had entered the palace. He probably wanted to ask her in detail about Prince Qing's leg disease."
Chu Beiqing's legs are fine, but he is keeping it secret for the time being and only a handful of people know about it.
Of course, Concubine Hui and her son would not hide it from the emperor.
It is not easy to hide this matter from the emperor, but if it is not reported in advance, the emperor will know about it.
It is said that the mind of a king is hard to predict!
It’s inevitable that you won’t think too much!
Besides, it cannot be hidden from the emperor.
Therefore, Chu Beiqing reported this to the Emperor on the day he entered the palace.
Moreover, the emperor also had dinner and stayed overnight in Concubine Hui's palace that night.
Now that the emperor has heard that Yan Qingning has entered the palace, it is understandable that he would ask about her out of concern.
Concubine Hui nodded to Yan Qingning, stood up and said, "I will go with you..."
Before Concubine Hui could stand up, she was stopped by Chen Dajian, who tactfully stated that the Emperor did not summon Concubine Hui.
Concubine Hui was also somewhat unable to disobey the emperor's wishes. In a blink of an eye, her eyes flashed, and she smiled slightly, giving Yan Qingning a reassuring look, "Qingning, go ahead. I will ask Bei Qing to pick you up later. You and Bei Qing will have lunch in my palace today."
The latter part of the speech was directed to Chen Da for monitoring.
Chen Dajian smiled and nodded to Concubine Hui, then turned and gave Yan Qingning an impeccable and friendly smile: "Concubine Ning, please..."
Yan Qingning had no right to refuse. She put the wooden box in her arms aside and followed Chen Dajian.
Concubine Hui thought for a moment, picked up the slightly cold tea, took a sip, and then said lightly: "Why, do you still want mother to invite you out?"
Really, she is finding it increasingly difficult to understand her son.
After a moment, Chu Beiqing's tall and straight figure walked out from behind a floor-to-ceiling screen.
He was wearing a pure black robe with wide sleeves, and the collar and cuffs were embroidered with flowing cloud patterns.
His eyebrows are slanted, the corners of his narrow and long eyes are slightly raised, his manner is elegant, and his pupils are shining. He is really dignified, sharp, and has a breathtaking aura.
Concubine Hui looked at her dazzling son with pride and satisfaction, but her words were full of regret. "You just let her be passed on by your father?"
Chu Beiqing walked leisurely, "As expected, mother believes that she is..."
Concubine Hui understood what her son meant. Although the emperor was a wise ruler and had great trust in Bei Qing, Bei Qing was not the emperor's only son after all.
In such an environment, it is inevitable that the emperor will be suspicious.
Fortunately, Concubine Hui did not have too high hopes for the emperor, so naturally she was not sad.
Instead, he said to Chu Beiqing: "Did you hear what Qing Ning said just now? I wonder what you feel now?"
Chu Beiqing sat down opposite Concubine Hui, where Yan Qingning had just sat. However, his dark eyes first fell on the wooden box. His eyes were dark and difficult to discern, but he did not speak.
Concubine Hui couldn't tell what he was thinking, so she couldn't help asking, "What are you thinking? Do you really want to let her go?"
Bei Qing, mother has put this to you. If you miss her, you will never meet another Yan Qingning again. "
Chu Beiqing picked up the teacup beside him, which was also Yan Qingning's teacup. He took a sip and the tea was a little warm. He looked at the brown tea soup and said casually, "What does the transaction between my mother and her have to do with me?"
Concubine Hui was stunned: "You?"
……
At the same time, Yan Qingning did not go to Chonghua Palace, but followed Chen Dajian towards the harem.
"Eunuch Chen, have we taken the wrong road?" Yan Qingning's voice was a little cold. Even if she was not familiar with the harem, she still knew several main palaces.
Chen Dajian's smile remained on his face. "Don't panic, Concubine Ning. I dare not falsely convey your Majesty's order."
Supervisor Chen looked at her with a fierce smile, waiting for her to continue asking questions.
However, what he waited for was Yan Qingning's expressionless face.
Chen Dajian was surprised for a moment before he continued walking, thinking to himself that the once darling of the world had finally become a stable person after going through earth-shaking experiences.
He added a few more words as if possessed by a spirit: "The sky has four seasons, the moon waxes and wanes, and people naturally have their joys and sorrows, separations and reunions, and it's good to see Concubine Ning think things through on her own."
Yan Qingning was deeply moved, "What Chen Dajian said is true, thank you for your advice."
Chen Dajian admired her for her modesty, and the smile on his smooth mask seemed more genuine.
"Here we are."
Yan Qingning followed Chen Dajian's words and instinctively looked up at the plaque above. The scorching sun was particularly dazzling, reflecting the words "Xin Cui Palace" above with dazzling light, giving this not-so-big palace a sense of nobility.
If her information is correct, then the people living in this palace are Concubine Wan and Concubine Yue?
The six guards had cold eyes, hands on the hilts of their swords, and stood straight on both sides of the door.
With Chen Dajian as the imperial eunuch, everything went smoothly.
Thinking of the beautiful Yue, Yan Qingning's eyes narrowed slightly.
The last time Yue Meiren sent Cheng Wanshuang away was to create an opportunity for Chu Yuanli, so what about this time?
Could it be Chu Yuanli again this time?
She immediately rejected this idea. Even if Chu Yuanli was crazy, he would not dare to falsely convey the emperor's orders.
But why did the emperor call her here?
Is it a coincidence or is there a deeper meaning?
When he looked up, he saw several eunuchs standing at the side hall door with their brows lowered. Yan Qingning narrowed her eyes. It seemed that the emperor was at Yue Meiren's place...
