Chapter 124 Coaxing Each Other
When this was suddenly brought up again, Xuanyuan Ling's expression was not as good as before. He was disgusted with Concubine Fang for harming the third prince, and he frowned when Chen Qing suddenly mentioned him, not to mention that she also mentioned Concubine Chun.
This little thing has always been very talkative, why did it suddenly say this?
"Are you friends with Concubine Chun?" He didn't lose his temper.
Shen Qing shook her head as if she didn't notice anything strange about him: "No, I didn't. When I was injured before, Concubine Chun gave me a big Ganoderma lucidum. I asked someone and found out that Concubine Chun and I...were in the same boat."
When she mentioned this, Xuanyuan Ling's heart softened again, and she continued, "I just thought that Concubine Chun has been so caring towards me who has been through the same thing. Now that she has the Third Prince, she will definitely treat him very well."
Xuanyuan Ling really didn't like Concubine Fang. No, now it was Concubine Sun. Concubine Fang's original surname was Sun. He didn't like Concubine Sun. With her methods, if there was no evidence to prove her, he would have sent her to the cold palace.
He didn't want to hand the third prince over to the queen, and it was really a helpless move for him to give the child to Concubine Chun. If he kept the child by his side to raise him, it would be too much honor for the Sun family. Although this matter has passed, it brought back the shadow of Xuanyuan Ling's childhood, and he was not happy.
But no one else dared to bring up this matter at this time. This little thing knew that he was sad but still brought it up and even came to comfort him. He was a little bold.
She never said anything against others, never said good things about people, nor did she say bad things about people, but she was thinking about him and was afraid that he would feel bad. By saying this, wasn't she afraid that if Concubine Chun really caused trouble in the future, wouldn't he be unhappy that he was thinking about her words?
Xuanyuan Ling thought, how could she not know? She just knew, but she wanted to comfort him, right?
How thoughtful.
Xuanyuan Ling pinched her little hand and said, "You are smart. You even knew to ask someone to check the gifts in advance."
Shen Qing had an expression that said you know what I am talking about: "Isn't it that I have a dispute with Mr. Sun..."
She already had conflicts with others, so how could she not be on guard? Even though the child was innocent, the adults would use the child to make trouble.
"Yeah." One must be on guard against others, and she did a great job.
Xuanyuan Ling felt better after seeing her lively appearance. He was originally feeling uncomfortable because of the matter concerning the Third Prince. To be honest, he came to see her today because he was afraid that she was frightened by what happened yesterday. He never thought that she was still thinking about him, and thus he felt relieved.
"What did the Queen give you as a reward?" She was given the order yesterday. She and Concubine Zhao were both frightened and asked the Queen to watch over the reward.
Shen Qing said: "Jewelry and clothes."
The rewards are just those.
Xuanyuan Ling also knew that the rewards in the harem were nothing more than those, but after giving rewards several times, he found that this little thing didn't seem to care much about such rewards, but cared more about silver. However, giving silver directly was too vulgar, so he suddenly asked: "You said before that you have a brother in your family. Will your brother come to this spring examination?"
Shen Qing really didn't expect this.
After all, she didn't consider the original owner's family as her family at first. There was nothing she could do about it. Even if she had memories, she was her after all, and the original owner was the original owner. But when Xuanyuan Ling asked her this, she shook her head honestly: "With my status as a concubine and my family being far away, how could I know the news at home?"
As she said this, she was a little shocked. Could it be that this dog emperor was going to give her a back door?
Think about it, with his temper, he is not likely to let go. Although he is becoming more and more unrestrained in the room, he is always very dignified outside.
And this was a matter of the imperial court after all, she didn't believe he could do this.
This matter could be big or small, and she couldn't pretend she didn't know after hearing it. She said, "If my brother really passes the Spring Examination, Your Majesty, please don't look down on me."
In fact, Xuanyuan Ling did not intend to ask Shen Qing's younger brother to use the back door.
Xuanyuan Ling also suddenly remembered that he had originally thought of conferring titles on the six palaces after the Spring Examination, but now Concubine Yu is causing trouble again, and the incident with Sun Liangren happened, so he simply didn't want to confer titles on them. It would be enough to recommend two of them. However, Chen Qing had no children, and if she didn't use the title to raise her status, it would be difficult for her to move up in the short term.
If her brother really took part in this spring examination and was on the list, there would be reason to promote her.
He really wanted to promote her. The status of a noble lady was still too unfair for her. If she were a concubine, she would at least be the head of a palace.
Of course, if her brother is really capable, he will reward him generously. If not, he will not promote him deliberately.
As a result, Shen Qing said it directly. He looked at Shen Qing with a smile and said, "Don't you want your brother to be a high-ranking official with a high salary?"
Chen Qing said: "Even if the emperor gives it to me, he must have the ability to suppress it. I don't understand officialdom, but I have had conflicts with others in the harem, and I think there are more in the officialdom. He is still young, and there is nothing wrong with taking steady steps. Moreover, I don't want the emperor to be criticized. People who don't know would think that I am blowing the emperor's pillow wind. What kind of person would I be then?"
Shen Qing muttered: "Demon Concubine?"
Xuanyuan Ling pretended to be angry when he heard the word "witch concubine": "Why? In your heart, I am a tyrant?"
A wicked concubine only appears around a tyrant. It has been a law since ancient times that evildoers appear when the ruler is wicked.
Shen Qing seemed to be startled: "How could this be my intention?"
Xuanyuan Ling saw how scared she was and stopped pretending and asked her, "Do you want to be a virtuous concubine?"
She is just a noble lady now, what's the use of being a concubine or not? The dog emperor can't get away with this, right?
"I am not virtuous, I am jealous, I have a bad temper, and I don't like to take care of things. I just want to live a comfortable life, eat delicious food and have fun every day." Finally, she looked at him and said, "Your Majesty, please accompany me."
This look is absolutely amazing.
"So you are living a comfortable life and you still want me to serve you?" As an emperor, he had to deal with government affairs every day and was very busy. She really wanted to live a comfortable life. Thinking about it, she seemed to be living a very comfortable life.
"Your Majesty, I will also serve you." Shen Qing said without any falsehood: "Your Majesty, please come to my place. I will prepare delicious food for you. Is the hot pot delicious?"
Why did Xuanyuan Ling feel so strange? "What's the matter? Do I owe you a favor just because I ate some of your food?"
Shen Qing blinked twice: "Your Majesty can pay with your body."
Xuanyuan Ling: “…”
It was intentional, this little thing did it on purpose, right?
He couldn't help but said: "You little devil, I want to pay you back with my flesh after eating your food, fine, I will pay you back with my flesh."
Chen Qing asked him to pick up Xiao Xiao and she exclaimed, but she felt relieved in her heart. She finally got rid of his thoughts on the imperial examination. It wasn't like he would give her a backdoor, so why bother testing her.
