Chapter 868: Concubine Song Shu's gossiping look is getting more and more annoying
When Xiao Yu came out of the study, he didn't know why he said Jiang Jinyan was sick, he just blurted it out.
But the emperor didn't seem to suspect anything else. Was Jiang Jinyan really ill? Why didn't he come to the morning court?
Xiao Yu was also full of doubts, so he had to go to the Jiang Mansion.
"Master Xiao." Hong Xiu walked up to Xiao Yu and bowed. She handed him something and said, "This is what the Queen ordered me to give you."
It was a very exquisite brocade box. Xiao Yu was about to open it when Hong Xiu looked around and whispered, "Don't open it now. Lord Xiao went to the Jiang Mansion to give this thing to the eldest master."
Hong Xiu thought about it and said, "Her Majesty said that it is OK for Master Xiao to keep it. Please help Her Majesty to check the origin of this thing and the history of the ancient country of Yinchuan."
Xiao Yu also guessed what was inside. It was the Ice Phoenix Seal that the man in black gave to the queen. If this thing was really important, why would the man in black give it to her so easily?
He said: "Okay."
Hongxiu returned to Kunning Palace. Concubine Song Shufei and Concubine Gao were also there. She gave Jiang Fenghua a look and left.
Jiang Fenghua took a sip of the teacup in her hand and smiled, "I have already arranged it. Concubine Shu and Concubine Gui can start to do it. The concubines in the harem will go to the enclosure to participate in the hunting and polo games together. This is a rare opportunity."
Song Jing was in a good mood today. She smiled sweetly and said softly, "I will definitely help you and make arrangements for the sisters in the harem."
Gao Qingtong knew that Concubine Song Shu had been favored by the Emperor last night. She only looked at the Empress's expression, which was no different from usual. She said, "I will tell all the sisters in the palace well."
Jiang Fenghua said in a deep voice: "This is the best."
She added: "You have also heard that the Royal Concubine Lan has been found. Now the Emperor has promoted her position. She will be the Royal Concubine Lan from now on."
"How come Sister Yanran is back?" Song Jing smiled, "I mean, it's great that she's okay. How did she get back? She must have suffered a lot after being out there for so long."
Jiang Fenghua said softly, "She did suffer a lot. She fell off a cliff and fell into the water. She was rescued by an old woman from the countryside. She had been seriously injured and unconscious for a long time. She just woke up recently. She notified the soldiers who were looking for her at the bottom of the cliff, and they found her."
Gao Qingtong said: "I want to visit Sister Lan Fei, I wonder if it is convenient."
Jiang Fenghua said, "She is too seriously injured. Let's wait until she is better before going! She is frightened and not in a good mental state. It was me who caused her to fall off the cliff. The emperor gave her the title of consort to give an explanation to the Helan family! Don't take it to heart."
She said this to Song Jing. General Peng is the emperor's beloved general. Song Jing must not get carried away and cherish the tranquility of the moment.
Song Jing was still somewhat unhappy. She was given the title of Shufei only after she gave birth to a royal heir, while Helan Yanran, who had nothing, was given the title of Lanfei for no reason.
Song Jing also thought it through clearly. It was nothing more than that Helan Yanran's father was the Marquis of Changping, and the Helan family was a prominent family, so she could easily get a position based on her status.
The Song family could not yet squeeze into the aristocratic circle of Shengjing City, so she wanted to make sure that the Song family had a place in Shengjing City. Although her uncle was highly valued by the emperor, all the members of the Song family were unknown.
Gao Qingtong said: "I understand. I will have someone send some supplements over!"
Jiang Fenghua said: "Send some!"
The three of them chatted for a while before Gao Qingtong and Song Jing left Kunning Palace.
As soon as they left Kunning Palace, Song Jing pulled Gao Qingtong aside to gossip about Helan Yanran, "Sister Imperial Concubine, do you think what the Queen said is true?"
Gao Qingtong said in a deep voice: "What do you mean?"
Song Jing leaned closer to Shang Qingtong's ear again, "Have you heard?"
"What?" Gao Qingtong pretended not to understand.
"Helan Yanran was sent to the palace by the Helan family. The emperor did not send her directly back to Chaoyang Palace, but sent her to a side hall of Qianqing Palace and even invited a nanny to go there." Song Jing looked gossipy.
Gao Qingtong narrowed his eyes slightly, "And then?"
"Oh, I guess something must have happened to her outside the palace. Otherwise, why would the emperor ask the nanny to go? And she wasn't a palace nanny, but someone from outside. She was secretly sent out of the palace later." Song Jing said again: "I heard that there were a lot of bloody cloths. With so much blood, she doesn't look like a serious injury..."
Gao Qingtong's eyes were cold and sharp. Over the years, Song Jing had been deploying spies in the palace.
She said, "Sister Shufei, you didn't forget the palace rules because you were favored by the emperor last night, did you? The Queen said that Concubine Lan was seriously injured outside the palace, so isn't it normal to have blood on the cloth?"
Gao Qingtong didn't want to discuss this topic with her anymore and just left.
Song Jing was stunned. What did her being favored by the emperor have to do with the palace rules? Helan Yanran was indeed very suspicious!
Why did the emperor suddenly confer the title of concubine on her? This is all very suspicious.
Song Jing muttered, "Helan Yanran has been missing for several months. Now she's back. Is she still innocent? Who can tell for sure?"
Dong'er stood aside and whispered in Song Jing's ear: "If you don't want me to go and find out the news from Concubine Lan."
Song Jing said, "The Queen has ordered that no one is allowed to visit her to recover from her injuries. It would be wrong for you to go and let the Queen know now. Wait a little longer. Shengjing City is going to hold a hunting competition and a polo match. Dong'er, what was this palace best at when we were in our hometown?"
Dong'er smiled and said, "Your Majesty also wants to play polo, but you are a concubine in the palace. Will the emperor allow you?"
"I am General Peng's niece, a descendant of a military family. How can the nobles of Shengjing see the Song family if I don't fight? Your Majesty means that in addition to the envoys, even the young men and women of the noble families in Shengjing can participate."
She added: "If the Queen is allowed to participate, I will try to form a team with her. Wouldn't that be aboveboard?"
She also wanted the men of the Song family to sign up. If they could catch the emperor's eye, it would be an opportunity. Although she was a concubine in the palace, she could not influence the emperor.
Thinking of this, Song Jing put Helan Yanran's matter behind her.
Lian Ye happened to be standing in the corner and saw Concubine Song and her servant whispering to each other. She couldn't hear clearly because they were far away, and could only hear some vaguely.
Concubine Song Shufei is going to play polo?
Lian Ye returned to the palace and told the queen about this.
Jiang Fenghua looked calm and said in a deep voice: "The emperor did not say that the concubines in the palace were not allowed to attend. Concubine Song Shu is in great favor. If she wants to make a request, the emperor may agree."
Lian Ye said, "It's becoming more and more obvious that Concubine Song is trying to win the emperor's favor. How could she have taken advantage of me last night? I'm so angry."
Jiang Fenghua said: "Why are you angry? What is there about her that is worth your anger?"
"I'm just angry..." Lian Ye hesitated to speak. Her master married the emperor, so it was not surprising that the emperor wanted to favor other concubines.
She changed the subject: "The more I see Concubine Song gossiping, the more annoying it becomes."
Jiang Fenghua smiled and said, "I have recently assigned you to take care of the children. You have worked hard. From now on, I will take care of them myself. Go find Lin Feng!"
Lian Ye said, "He has gone out of the palace to do work for the emperor."
Jiang Fenghua didn't expect that Lian Ye and Lin Feng would report their whereabouts to each other, and the relationship between the two was getting better and better.
Thinking of the debt she owed to Lian Ye in her previous life, she must be very happy in this life!
