Chapter 10 The Cost of Pretending to Be a Grandson
After returning to Zhaohua Palace, Chen Qing asked Chunhua to get a facial mask to apply on her face.
Chunhua was worried: "My dear..."
Shen Qing shook his head: "I can't afford to offend you, and there's no need to make it public."
She fainted on purpose in Zhongyu Palace just because she wanted to have peace. If she fainted outside, Concubine Yu would really hate her for ruining her reputation.
Although she was of a low rank, she was still the emperor's woman after all. Concubine Yu had done something too much and it was embarrassing. After she fainted, at least Concubine Yu would not bother her for a while.
As for using her own fainting to draw the emperor's attention to Concubine Yu's persecution of her and punishing her?
Shen Qing knew it was impossible without even thinking about it.
What is her identity? What is Concubine Yu’s identity?
To be honest, she doesn't deserve it.
Not to mention that she fainted today, she was probably going to die in Concubine Yu's palace today, and the Emperor would just say that she would be lenient with him, and Concubine Yu would still be favored in the future.
This is the harem.
She didn't think that the emperor had any feelings for her just because she had served him twice. At the moment, she was just an interesting toy on the bed for the emperor, and he would not take her seriously at all. Who was more important, a woman who served men with her beauty or Concubine Yu who had a reliable family? Let alone the emperor, even if Shen Qing was asked to choose, she would choose Concubine Yu.
Chunhua knew this truth and comforted him: "After all, we are all serving the emperor. Although your position is low, there is still a future. Your blessings will surely come later. Don't take these things to heart for now."
That's the truth.
But I really can't stand this kind of frustration.
She knew from the beginning that she had to pretend to be a grandson, but in her previous life, she was the daughter of a multi-billion dollar group and was raised in luxury since childhood. She had never felt so aggrieved.
Shen Qing had to consider the cost of pretending to be a grandson.
After living like this for two years, just serving as a concubine in the harem and pretending to be a grandson, will she not be killed by the plot?
Concubine Yu targeted her after only serving the emperor twice. There was no way she would not serve the emperor in the future, nor was it possible for her to deliberately annoy the emperor.
Shen Qing's mind was somewhat distracted.
She originally wanted to stay inactive for two years to avoid the death node and then wait for the plot to unfold. After all, there is a known plot and it is relatively safe to move towards a better ending, but she came too early.
The heroine still has two years before entering the palace, so there is still more than a year left.
She has lived her life again, but now she is living in such a miserable state, is that called living? That's called survival!
No, I can't bear it anymore. I'd better go with my own ideas. As for the direction of the plot, as long as the difference is not too big, I should be able to turn it around.
First, set a small goal to let the Dog Emperor meet her daily needs.
She doesn't have to worry about the basic problems of not eating well or not wearing warm clothes. These are not problems that can be solved in a short time like we are doing now, but problems that need to be solved continuously.
So what we need to do now is to gain favor, and to gain favor we need to seduce the emperor and make him never forget us!
To keep something in mind, you have to be innovative.
It's time for her to change her style.
Three days later, Xuanyuan Ling turned over Shen Qing's card.
Xiao Chunzi came to report that Xuanyuan Ling did not come this time, so Chen Qing was arranged to be sent to Xuanyuan Ling's bedroom. He was still carried there wrapped in the familiar big quilt, and Xuanyuan Ling was still in the same shape.
Xuanyuan Ling was holding a book in his hand and reading it with one hand. When Chen Qing was sent in, he was probably reading a book and ignored Chen Qing for a while.
After all, Chen Qing is a seductive enchantress in Xuanyuan Ling's heart. If he really takes care of her, he will have no time to read the book. So he might as well finish reading it and then go to see Chen Qing.
There was no one in the room, and Shen Qing looked at the cover of the book in Xuanyuan Ling's hand.
She thought about it and got up, but she still wrapped herself in the quilt so that no skin was exposed, only her head was exposed.
Xuanyuan Ling naturally turned around to look at her when he heard the noise. This look was somewhat displeased. The concubine was restless in bed: "What are you doing?"
Shen Qing was a little embarrassed: "I am just curious about what book the emperor is reading so attentively." She covered her mouth again: "Your Majesty, please read. I will not disturb you."
She acted in a coquettish manner, without being overindulgent or soliciting favor, and not a single bit of her skin was exposed.
It doesn't look like he's trying to win favor.
So Xuanyuan Ling didn't get angry and simply turned around and continued watching.
Shen Qing was quietly beside him, minding his own business.
After Xuanyuan Ling finished reading, he turned around and found that the girl was sitting with her head tilted and was about to fall asleep.
"How dare you leave me alone and fall asleep?" Xuanyuan Ling looked at Chen Qing, his expression unable to tell whether he was happy or angry.
"No!" Shen Qing said immediately: "I am not asleep, I am waiting for the emperor."
She tried to argue, but she didn't seem to be very afraid. It seemed like she trusted him very much and didn't fear him as a king.
Then he flattered her eagerly: "Your Majesty, have you finished reading the book?"
Xuanyuan Ling found her obvious hint interesting: "Well, I've finished reading it, so what?"
Shen Qing's face flushed, and he looked embarrassed.
Xuanyuan Ling remembered that she had never taken the initiative to sleep with him before. It was always him who called her and she cooperated, and she cooperated quite well.
Xuanyuan Ling didn't feel embarrassed, but looked at Shen Qing, waiting to see how she would answer.
Chen Qing seemed to be extremely embarrassed and wanted to shrink into the quilt, revealing his two eyes. He looked at Xuanyuan Ling eagerly but couldn't bear to do so, and finally stretched out a pair of snow-white arms.
Just like the time in Zhaohua Palace, she moved to Xuanyuan Ling's side, tugged at his sleeve, and shook it: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty can't do it."
Xuanyuan Ling's expression was somewhat obscure: "Didn't Mammy teach you?"
"Yes."
"Then serve me as I have been taught."
Then Shen Qing showed his skills.
After all, this was the third time, and Shen Qing had a certain understanding of Xuanyuan Ling. The result of showing off his skills was that Xuanyuan Ling got a taste of something new.
Of course, she showed this newness in a very awkward way, but sometimes awkwardness can also drive people crazy.
Xuanyuan Ling was aroused by Shen Qing again.
Xuanyuan Ling never thought of himself as a person who was addicted to carnal desires, but after getting Chen Qing, he slept with her three times, and all three times were incomparable to the service provided by others.
It's really a bit too obsessed.
His eyes were a little dark when he was soaking in the bathtub.
This time he deliberately did not let Shen Qing help him bathe. After Shen Qing finished bathing, she should have bowed and left. After all, except for the empress, other concubines could not stay overnight in the emperor's bedroom. If the emperor really wanted to stay overnight, he had to come to the concubine palace.
Chen Qing was waiting for Xuanyuan Ling to come over so that she could bow and leave, but she didn't expect Xuanyuan Ling to not come and just had someone carry her back.
If an ordinary person like Xuanyuan Ling showed this attitude, he would definitely scare himself to death.
It's quite bizarre. How could a person who was so passionate in bed just now suddenly become so displeased?
After thinking about it, Shen Qing realized that he did not anger Xuanyuan Ling on the spot. So what did he think about that made him unhappy afterwards? As long as he did not do something wrong on the spot to make him unhappy, then it would not be a big problem.
Shen Qing didn't fully understand Xuanyuan Ling's temper, but she had read the original novel after all. The hero Xuanyuan Ling was a strict and thoughtful person, and seemed to care about nothing but power. Of course, he had self-control over beauty. In fact, Shen Qing was a little surprised when she first saw Xuanyuan Ling was so obsessed with carnal desires.
Now it's normal.
After that, for a whole month, Xuanyuan Ling never summoned her to sleep with him, as if he had forgotten about her.
