Chapter 104: Close Yet Distant
Xuanyuan Ling was unhappy when he heard this, and lightly scolded: "What nonsense are you talking about?"
It would be fine if she told him not to punish Concubine Fang in a pretentious way, but pushing him away was too much. Was she taking her anger out on him? Or did she really not want to keep him?
There are many women in the harem who pretend to be virtuous. Last time this little thing pretended to be virtuous, she even hooked his clothes. This time, she didn't even look at him, and it seemed like she really wanted to push him out.
"I can't give birth... it would be a waste for you and me."
Xuanyuan Ling couldn't help but say the word "waste" when he heard it. He was a little unhappy at first, but her choice of words made him angry: "What are you thinking about every day? You don't even know how to control your words. You dare to say such things. Aren't you shameless?"
"Shameless? Yes." Shen Qing looked extremely uncomfortable: "I can't have a child, but I still miss the emperor. I always want the emperor to come. When the emperor comes, I deliberately seduce the emperor. No wonder the emperor always calls me a little goblin. It's me who is shameless."
Xuanyuan Ling felt that it was not that difficult to discuss matters with the ministers. What's wrong with this little girl's brain? Is this what he meant?
It was obvious that she was really aggrieved at the moment. She started to make groundless accusations at the slightest inappropriate wording, but she just had to make such groundless accusations that it was so hurtful.
He wanted to be angry, but he felt sorry for her after all. This matter was an unprovoked disaster for her. She had not mentioned it for so long. He would just pretend that she didn't know. They were happy together. In fact, no woman would not care, right? She didn't show it before. Was she holding on?
Yes, this little guy has a bad temper, but he actually knows his limits. Seeing that he doesn't punish Concubine Yu, why not just not mention it?
In fact, I feel depressed.
It was heart-wrenching to think about it this way. She knew she couldn't have children, so she felt that it was a waste for her to be with him? In fact, every time he came, she would think about how sad she was that she couldn't have children?
She watched Concubine Fang give birth to a child, and then watched Concubine Li become pregnant. Concubine Fang said that she stared at other people's bellies. Did she really want a child?
At that time, he was thinking that when she heard that Concubine Li was pregnant, she would think that he would be uncomfortable going to other palaces. In fact, the most uncomfortable thing should be that others can give birth, but she can't, right?
Xuanyuan Ling couldn't think like this. Once he thought like this, he felt that this little thing was so pitiful.
"That's not what I meant." Xuanyuan Ling lowered his head to coax him. He didn't even realize that he had put down his dignity as an emperor. His tone was very gentle: "If you want a child, I will promote you. When you are given the title of concubine, I can ask you to raise the child. But your mother's family is not prominent, so if you are not a concubine, you can only raise a princess."
Could this mean that if Concubine Li gave birth to a princess, he would ask her to raise her?
Shen Qing was also caught off guard. Giving her gold and silver was fine, but was giving her a child okay?
"No." Of course Shen Qing couldn't have it: "If I could give birth, I certainly wouldn't want to see my child separated from me. It's so immoral to separate other people's mothers and children just for me to have a child."
“……”The Queen just did this wicked thing.
However, Xuanyuan Ling's expression softened after hearing Shen Qing's words. He didn't know if He had been talking about children. He suddenly remembered a fleeting thought before. If the child was born by her, and if the child looked like her, he would definitely be loved.
Thinking of this, he suddenly began to look forward to having a child. There were so many women in the harem who gave birth to children for him, but he was now somewhat eager to have a child with Shen Qing.
But I quickly suppressed the thought.
Xuanyuan Ling looked at Shen Qing and raised his hand to touch her back: "Are you feeling better?"
Shen Qing was able to refuse to have a child, which showed that the anger in her heart had passed and her words were now organized.
Shen Qing sighed and was about to kneel down in front of Xuanyuan Ling, but was stopped by Xuanyuan Ling. However, she still said, "I am talking nonsense and offending the emperor. Please punish me."
"I realize that I was just talking nonsense."
Chen Qing pursed her lips and endured for a long time: "This matter has been in my heart for a long time. When I first knew about it, I made up my mind that if the emperor didn't mention it, I would pretend that I didn't know. I was hoping that...what if my body could still be saved...what I said just now were all angry words. I was just afraid that the emperor would really despise me for not being able to have children. Seeing that other people can have children, the emperor would get tired of me and would not come again in the future."
Xuanyuan Ling thought that she was indeed secretly sad, but then he heard her say, "In fact, it's good that the emperor has exposed it today. I was uncomfortable holding it in, so I just said it out. This is the fact. It's not that I pretended that nothing happened, so the matter is gone. It's just that I'm greedy. Even if I can't give birth to an heir for the emperor, I can still..."
Shen Qing didn't say anything else, looking like he didn't know what to do.
But the meaning is very clear. Although I can't have a child for you, I still want you to spend more time with me. I am greedy, but I just like you and can't help it.
Xuanyuan Ling felt that she was both pitiful and cute, this little thing.
"Come and tease me again."
Shen Qing looked at him innocently: "I don't have it."
Xuanyuan Ling felt a little sad after she made such a fuss: "Do you feel uncomfortable when you are alone?"
"In fact, I can do a lot of things. It's okay to divert some of my attention. But it's still uncomfortable to be reminded of it."
Instead, Shen Qing didn't say how uncomfortable she felt when she was alone.
Xuanyuan Ling didn't expect her to say this. Didn't she look very uncomfortable just now?
It seems that Shen Qing is really open-minded at this moment.
Xuanyuan Ling suddenly felt puzzled: "What are you doing?"
Chen Qing said: "I can read books, play chess, play on the swings and shuttlecocks with Chunhua Fangyun, and I can also draw and embroider... There are many things. Yesterday I wanted to learn to plant flowers, but it's too cold now, so I can't succeed."
Xuanyuan Ling looked at Shen Qing's gradually regaining her spirit, and was really puzzled. Did ordinary women live like her? Yes, it seemed that every time he came, she was in a good mood. Did she live a good life even when he was not around?
"Will you miss me?"
Shen Qing blinked twice: "I don't want to lie to the emperor. I miss the emperor, but if I think about him all the time, the emperor can't accompany me all the time. Why not think about something delicious?"
As she spoke, she looked at Xuanyuan Ling's expression.
She has made him believe that she loves him, and he knows in his heart that she loves him, but men, when a woman loves you too deeply, they will feel pity at first, but after a long time, it will become commonplace. Through today, she wants to let him know that although I like you, I also have my own life, and I can live without you.
You asked me if I miss you? Well, I am not thinking about you now.
