The arrival of Concubine Shu was not surprising to Siningchi at all. She looked at Concubine Shu who was kneeling dignifiedly to say hello and gently curled her lips: "It's hot outside, why did Concubine Shu come to my palace to say hello? After all this time
Don’t let the heat get on the road.”
"I would like to thank you, the Empress, for your concern." Concubine Shu had a gentle attitude and said in a low voice, "Coming to greet the Empress is my duty. How can I be lazy?"
"..." Now he is serious. Why don't you come to greet me on weekdays?
Si Ningchi didn't criticize her. He asked Su Yun to serve tea and then sat down to chat with Concubine Shu.
She didn't ask, and Si Ningchi didn't take the initiative to talk about it. The two of them just chatted for a long time. After drinking two pots of tea, Concubine Shu couldn't hold it in any longer.
She never thought that there was someone who could endure it better than her...
"I'm not afraid of the queen's jokes. I'm actually here today to ask a question." Concubine Shu secretly took a breath and said, "I used to have a friend, and recently I heard that he got a job in the palace."<
/p>
"What a coincidence, this job was recommended by the Empress." Concubine Shu smiled and looked up at Si Ningchi and said, "I wonder if the Empress also recognizes this friend of mine?"
"I handle a lot of palace affairs on weekdays, but I don't know who Concubine Shu is talking about?" Si Ningchi's knowing attitude made Concubine Shu choke immediately. She pursed her lips slightly and lowered her head and said, "Is that my concubine?
My friend’s surname is Qi.”
"Oh~" Si Ningchi looked understanding, smiled and looked at Concubine Shu and said, "I was talking about Mr. Qi."
Si Ningchi said calmly: "You have found the wrong person. That Mr. Qi was able to join the palace on duty thanks to King Jing's recommendation. I just said a word of help." p>
She looked at Concubine Shu with a smile and said: "I only know that Mr. Qi is a great hero in Jiangbei, but I don't know that he is actually Concubine Shu's friend?"
Concubine Shu almost rolled her eyes. She obviously knew the inside story, but she still acted so uninformed.
She lowered her head and smiled: "It's not an important person, I just learned about it by chance."
Concubine Shu didn't ask any more questions. She seemed to be just asking casually. After sitting for a while, she stood up and left.
After leaving the gate of Fengwu Palace, Xiuqin hurriedly asked: "Your Majesty, do you know what the Queen's intention is?"
Concubine Shu shook her head, sighed softly and said: "Looking at the Queen's intentions, it seems that she doesn't want to do anything to me, but I don't know why she did this..."
Concubine Shu really didn't understand. The queen's attitude seemed to be to do whatever she wanted, or even to comply with King Jing's wishes. She obviously didn't want to take the credit, or what she wanted her to do, but it had to be said that Qi Chengyun could enter the palace.
This news really made her happy.
"What about Mr. Qi..." Xiuqin looked at Concubine Shu and asked in a low voice.
"Don't send anyone to contact you for the time being." Concubine Shu sighed softly and whispered.
"Yes." Xiuqin quickly agreed.
Gao Hanqi's marriage was decided after Princess Chaoyang.
Si Ningchi also finally met Gao Hanqi's fiancée, Du Lanxue, a well-known talented woman in the capital, at the summer banquet.
Due to the scorching summer heat, Concubine De came to ask Si Ningchi for instructions and held a summer banquet. The food was iced fruits. Si Ningchi took this opportunity to make smoothies, shaved ice and other kinds of food, which was really satisfying.
