Chapter 99 Hairpins Broken All Over the Floor
"We've already reached Lingtai Mountain, and you're still hooking up with the prince!"
"Concubine, if Concubine Shen continues like this, there will be no place for us in the backyard of the palace in the future."
Qi Qing ran directly to Concubine Fang and cried.
"Aunt Qi, the prince favors Concubine Shen, so it's useless for you to cry to me."
Concubine Fang handed her a handkerchief and looked at her crying with snot and tears, feeling a little disgusted. She said, "Who made her look so much like the late Princess Lin!"
Qi Qing's eyes lit up. She was sobbing and her eyes suddenly brightened. She rolled her eyes and asked, "Does Concubine Shen look like Princess Lin?"
"yes."
Concubine Fang nodded and said regretfully, "What a pity! If Princess Lin were still alive, Concubine Shen would never have been favored."
"Concubine, what kind of dress does Princess Lin like?" Qi Qing asked with a burning gaze.
"this……"
Concubine Fang hesitated and said, "Aunt Qi, the prince doesn't like others to learn from him."
"Don't worry, Concubine. I'm not trying to learn. I'm just curious and asking." Qi Qing nodded affirmatively, "Just curious."
"Since you are curious, I will tell you."
Concubine Fang was about to speak, but seeing Qi Qing listening attentively, she warned, "You must not learn this."
"Uh-huh."
Qi Qing nodded repeatedly, and after finishing her study, she couldn't wait to leave.
Concubine Fang looked at the handkerchief she had used with disdain and said, "Deal with it."
"yes."
Aunt Gui took the handkerchief and planned to find a deserted place and burn it.
The concubine's personal handkerchief cannot be thrown away casually.
There was a hint of doubt in Concubine Fang's eyes. The prince obviously hated others imitating Princess Lin the most, so why was Shen Lingshu special?
It would be a good thing if Qi Qing could really give it a try.
Qi Qing returned to the room and immediately found a light green dress and tied her hair into a bun.
Zhehua said worriedly: "Master, the concubine has something to say. The prince doesn't like others imitating Princess Lin." Besides, Princess Lin is dead. Isn't it unlucky to imitate her?
"She said she doesn't like it, so she doesn't like it?"
Qi Qing stroked her long hair and looked at the different self in the bronze mirror. She said, "Concubine Shen looks so much like Princess Lin. If the prince really didn't like her, why did she gain favor? And why did she become pregnant and give birth to a child first?"
"Hurry up and find out where the prince is." Qi Qing simply ate something and then urged.
Zhehua wanted to say something but stopped herself and finally went out.
Not long after, Zhehua returned and said, "Master, after the prince had dinner with the concubine, he went to the wing room. I saw Brother Qingwu brought him some writing brush, ink, paper, and inkstone. He might be... copying scriptures."
"Copying scriptures?"
Qi Qing blinked and said, "You're still copying scriptures at this hour of night?"
"The master has to copy the scriptures to pray for the late queen." Qi Qing became unhappy as soon as Zhehua finished speaking.
After copying the scriptures, Dezhehua said that the prince had turned off the lights, so he sighed and said, "Forget it, I'll come again tomorrow."
"Master, the flower next to Concubine Qi was right at the door of the prince's room."
Zhu Xin whispered that Qi Qing lived in the main courtyard where the prince and the concubine lived, opposite them.
"Don't worry about it."
Shen Lingshu was copying the scriptures seriously. Since she had come to Lingtai Mountain, the scriptures were indispensable. She said, "When An An and Bei Bei are full, have someone bring them over."
"yes."
Zhuxin responded, wanting to say that Qi Qing must have other ideas, but in the end, she didn't say a word. At most, she, Zhuxin and Xia Yu would keep a closer eye on him.
The next day, after what happened on the first day when she ran into Shen Lingyi and Song Yuqing, Shen Lingshu took the child and walked around in the yard, outside the gate, without going far at all.
As the evening drum and morning bell sounded, Shen Lingshu felt that she had sublimated a lot. She was calm and composed. Just after she finished copying a volume of scriptures, she heard the angry voice of the prince coming from the opposite side.
"Qi, who allowed you to dress like this?"
Chu Cong looked at Qi Qing's outfit with a gloomy face. He reached out and pulled out the hairpin from her hair and threw it to the ground. In an instant, all her hair fell down.
clang.
The hairpins were broken into pieces all over the floor.
"Your Majesty."
Qi Qing was stunned. The moment her hair fell down, her eyes were filled with disbelief, and then her eyes reddened with grievance: "Prince, I just want to please you, I..."
"Copy ten volumes of scriptures behind closed doors." After Chu Cong finished speaking, he turned around and went to the house opposite.
Entering the house, smelling the faint sandalwood in the house, and seeing Shen Lingshu concentrating on copying scriptures on the desk, there was a feeling of peace and tranquility.
Chu Cong raised his hand, signaling Zhu Xin not to make a sound. He walked forward slowly and saw the neatly copied Diamond Sutra. Shen Lingshu, who was copying it seriously, didn't notice Chu Cong's arrival at all.
"Why!"
Seeing the prince go to Shen Lingshu's room with her own eyes, Qi Qing was very unwilling. Obviously, she pretended so well, why was the prince so angry?
“They are all Concubine Shen!”
Qi Qing gnashed his teeth in hatred. Why could she be like the princess but she couldn't?
Qi Qing looked at the broken hairpins on the ground and couldn't understand what was going on.
Concubine Fang, who lived in the side room of the main courtyard, soon learned of this. She murmured, "Madam Gui, the prince is clearly still the same as before and doesn't like others imitating the princess. Why is it okay with Shen?"
"This..." Nanny Gui hesitated for a long time before saying, "Is Shen even better at seducing people?"
"Bitch!"
Concubine Fang thought of Shen Lingshu’s charming face and said in a deep voice, “Madam Gui, please prepare well.”
"yes."
Aunt Gui's eyes flickered slightly, and she went out immediately.
"I don't believe I can't bring you down this time!"
Concubine Fang's voice sounded like it was squeezed out from between her teeth.
The next day, when she heard that the emperor had taken the prince, the prince, and Song Yuqing to go hunting, Shen Lingshu thought about continuing to stroll around. The scenery of Lingtai Mountain was still very beautiful.
"Concubine Shen, the yellow peaches in the mountains are ripe. Do you want to go pick them together?"
Princess Lingzhao came over early.
Shen Lingshu's eyes flickered slightly, and she said, "Your Highness, I'm afraid it's not convenient for me to go up the mountain with two children."
"It's right at the end of the lotus pond. You don't have to go up the mountain. There's a yellow peach forest and a small wooden house. My two little nieces can rest there. We can pick peaches and rest."
Princess Lingzhao encouraged him and said, "The most important thing is that there is a flower swing over there. It's so beautiful."
"Your Highness, Concubine..."
Shen Lingshu wanted to say that Concubine Fang was still there. Princess Lingzhao turned around and happened to see Concubine Fang. She said, "Concubine Fang, do you want to pick peaches together?"
"No."
Concubine Fang refused, saying, "Your Highness, I have an appointment with the Crown Princess and Princess Heng to attend a lecture. I'm afraid we can't go together."
When she heard the lecture, Princess Lingzhao immediately interrupted and said, "Concubine Shen, hurry up. It's not hot yet. The yellow peaches are ripe and sweet."
After staying in Lingtai Mountain for such a long time, what Princess Lingzhao hated most was the lectures. She would feel sleepy while listening to them.
