Chapter 125 A Promise of Gold
Xuanyuan Ling really didn't come here for this. He was really thinking whether she would be scared. But this little thing not only didn't get scared, but also brought up old grudges with him. Not only did she bring up old grudges, but she also deliberately seduced him.
But he really took the bait.
Xuanyuan Ling was also annoyed. Chen Qing was deliberately teasing him, and he didn't want to give up. But after teasing her, the little girl pretended to be pitiful. Xuanyuan Ling saw through it with his sharp eyes.
They have been together for so long, doesn't he know how long she can bear it? It's obviously intentional!
But in the end, he really couldn't bear to be cruel to her. He didn't know if it was because the promise he had just made to her not to hurt her was lingering in his mind, but he couldn't bring himself to do it when she begged for mercy. He was caught in a dilemma and felt suffocated and uncomfortable. Xuanyuan Ling felt uncomfortable himself, but he couldn't bring himself to do it. He was really conflicted.
But he must be conflicted. This little thing still knows how to coax him, but he can't vent his anger on him.
It’s so annoying again!
Shen Qing chuckled at the way he was restraining himself. He really kept his word, and the rules in his bones were at work. If he agreed, he really wouldn't hurt her or make her feel uncomfortable.
In fact, Shen Qing rarely failed to cooperate with him in such matters unless he acted recklessly. Today, she was just pretending to make a fuss just to divert the topic that he was unwilling to get over.
After a good sleep, the previous topic naturally came to an end.
Xuanyuan Ling felt comfortable, and his heart was no longer entangled. He hugged Shen Qing and thought about how he had restrained himself just now, and couldn't help asking: "It doesn't hurt, does it?"
Phew, are you going to give me a compliment?
Shen Qing really never expected that he had promised her before, and he didn't use any harsh methods on her just now because he was angry with her. Was he asking this on purpose?
She raised her eyes to look at him and saw his expression of pretending to be dead.
Well, it’s still that pretentious dog emperor.
She smiled and praised him: "The emperor's words are as good as gold."
Xuanyuan Ling felt relieved by her comforting words.
After being coaxed into feeling comfortable and in a better mood, it was already past lunch time, but they still had to eat, so after washing themselves, they sat together to eat.
Thinking about the sexual payment he just mentioned, Xuanyuan Ling now felt that he had led this little devil astray.
He glared at her while eating.
Shen Qingte turned back and blinked at him twice innocently.
Xuanyuan Ling couldn't stay for long after lunch. After all, he had only planned to take a look today. After finishing his meal, he looked at her and thought for a while before saying, "I probably won't come over these few days. No need to wait for me."
When Shen Qing heard this, he was shocked. What kind of scumbag quotes are these?
She didn't expect him to say such a thing out of the blue.
This situation is quite similar to what a husband tells his wife before leaving home, but this is not the case. He is not coming, but going to other women's palaces.
Xuanyuan Ling was actually waiting for him these days because of what Shen Qing said before, but he never came. He thought that although this little thing would find things to do, she would always wait for him to come. Originally, there were some things that could not be said, but now he couldn't let her worry about it in vain, so it was better to say it. He knew that Shen Qing could understand, but he still said it.
But Shen Qing's expression changed on the spot when he heard it.
Nonsense, any normal person can change. It’s no wonder that Shen Qing is in a bad mood. This dog emperor is deliberately trying to see her in a bad mood.
Of course Shen Qing was making a fuss.
She just turned her face away, her expression changed, and she walked away, leaving Xuanyuan Ling behind. At least there was no one else except Zhao Haichunhua.
But these people were all scared to death when they saw it.
Not to mention Chunhua and Fangyun, even Zhao Hai, who always followed Xuanyuan Ling, was so scared that he almost knelt down. He didn't kneel down because he was waiting for the emperor to get angry. As a result, Xuanyuan Ling laughed: "Little thing, you are throwing a tantrum again."
Everyone around was confused, including Chunhua, Fangyun and even Wang Lu, who really didn't understand what was going on.
Zhao Hai was speechless for a moment before he silently complained. After the autumn hunt, when Concubine Xi turned her face away, the emperor was still angry on the surface, although nothing happened afterwards. Now, is it really okay for him to just laugh?
He recalled the feeling he had when he saw the emperor holding a bag of silver and smiling at it in a worthless manner, and then he silently made up his mind that he would definitely pay more attention to Concubine Xi in the future.
Xuanyuan Ling didn’t know what Zhao Hai was thinking. He really knew that she would lose her temper, and he was already thinking about what to use to coax her next time he came.
In fact, this little thing doesn't seem to care much about jewelry, and for a moment I didn't know what to give her to coax her.
Xuanyuan Ling still left Zhaohua Palace with a smile, and then returned to the Imperial Study to handle government affairs. He did not turn over the card that night, and the next day, he still went to the Queen's Palace.
In front of so many people, the Queen openly asked for the Third Prince but he didn't give her the title. So he still had to go and appease the Queen.
After the Queen dealt with Sun Liangren's matter, she sent someone to pass a message to Concubine Chun. Concubine Chun couldn't believe that such a huge pie in the sky suddenly fell on her head, and she specifically said that she was not in good health and could not raise the child.
The Queen knew that Concubine Chun was deliberately giving her face. The Emperor had already made a fuss and the situation had not improved. She could only go along with Concubine Chun's words to give her face and comfort her for a while.
The third prince settled down like this, but the queen had been in a bad mood since that day.
Until Xuanyuan Ling came over, she could only pretend that nothing had happened, and she had to tell Xuanyuan Ling honestly about the specific arrangements for the next two days.
Xuanyuan Ling looked at the Queen's expression and couldn't help but say, "Thank you for your hard work, Queen."
The queen felt mixed emotions after hearing this: "This is what I should do."
In fact, Xuanyuan Ling would not mind if she expressed her grievances now. He was indeed the one who acted on his own will. He was too angry at that time. Although he didn't want to give the child to the Queen, the Queen had been angry before. Xuanyuan Ling felt that he was not doing the right thing by offending the Queen in front of so many people.
But the Queen obviously didn't plan that way. She said directly, "Now that Concubine Chun is raising the Third Prince, Concubine Li may not be able to take care of him if she lives in her palace. Although the Third Prince is precious, Concubine Li is still pregnant after all. It may be inconvenient if she doesn't have someone to take care of her. So I think it would be better to ask Concubine Li to move to Luhua Palace temporarily so that I can take care of her better."
Luhua Palace is closer to Fengyi Palace, which clearly means that Concubine Li is no longer a member of Concubine Chun's palace from now on.
This is to seize Concubine Li. Although Xuanyuan Ling's attitude is more obvious, the Queen's attitude is also obvious.
She couldn't snatch the third prince away, but she was determined to take the child in Concubine Li's belly.
Xuanyuan Ling listened with a subtle expression on his face, and then said calmly: "The Queen has considered it carefully, let's do it this way."
He said he would not stay overnight, but said to the Queen: "The Queen has worked hard in managing the harem. I will ask Zhao Hai to send some supplements over later. Don't overwork yourself."
