Chapter 136 Menstruation
Although she was favored by the emperor, Xuanyuan Ling knew his limits. Chen Qing did not recruit anyone, so Xuanyuan Ling's frequency of coming to the harem did not increase. He still spent most of his time on government affairs, but he no longer had to turn over the green card when he went to sleep with the emperor.
He was not very willing to flip the card and ask Shen Qing to come to sleep with him, after all, Shen Qing had to be carried back every time.
Moreover, Xuanyuan Ling had to admit that staying in Chen Qing's Zhaohua Palace was more comfortable than staying in Qianyuan Palace.
It’s not about the decoration. Zhaohua Palace is remote. Although it was renovated later, it is not very gorgeous. After all, Chen Qing is still just a noble. But maybe he is really used to being in Zhaohua Palace and can relax. Xuanyuan Ling relaxed a lot when he arrived at Zhaohua Palace.
However, Xuanyuan Ling came at an unfortunate time today. He just happened to meet Chunhua bringing in a bowl of thick brown sugar ginger tea.
Chen Qing doesn't like ginger soup. Last time Lin Xue asked her to drink ginger soup, she tried to find a way to refuse.
Xuanyuan Ling didn't react for a moment: "What happened to your master? Is he sick?"
Chunhua knelt down when she saw Xuanyuan Ling, and said awkwardly: "Your Excellency is feeling unwell."
Xuanyuan Ling frowned when he heard this, walked past Chunhua and went to the inner room, only to see Shen Qing leaning on the couch with a frown on his face, looking really bad, much paler than usual.
Xuanyuan Ling frowned and said, "Zhao Hai, call the imperial physician."
Shen Qing was feeling uncomfortable, and suddenly heard Xuanyuan Ling's voice and subconsciously said, "No need."
Zhao Hai paused for a moment. In fact, he should not listen to Shen Qing at this moment and go directly to find the imperial physician, but this is not the day of Concubine Xi. Concubine Xi is really bold and dares to contradict the emperor's order.
Xuanyuan Ling was not angry: "Why? How can you not call the imperial physician when you are sick?"
He thought she was being delicate and didn't want to see a doctor or take medicine.
"Be honest. If you are sick, you should see a doctor."
Shen Qing: "..." What are you talking about? You are sick.
"Your Majesty, will you stay today?" Shen Qing took Chunhua's brown sugar ginger water at this time: "I am not sick, but I am a little uncomfortable with my menstrual period."
Xuanyuan Ling didn't expect it was menstruation, but he knew why she didn't let him call the imperial physician.
Menstruation must be reported to the Jingshifang. Now that the imperial physician has been called, he will naturally report to the Jingshifang. The little thing asked him if he wanted to stay. Since he was here, of course he should stay. But she kept him because she was having her menstruation. What good would it do if the Queen knew about it?
Even if the queen didn't touch her, she would at least scold her for not knowing the rules.
Xuanyuan Ling waved his hand and told Zhao Hai to retreat.
Zhao Hai thought to himself that he had waited for the right thing, and the emperor really changed his mind.
The servants all left, and Shen Qing started to drink the brown sugar ginger water, frowning while drinking it, looking so aggrieved.
"Isn't the imperial physician treating her?" Xuanyuan Ling couldn't bear to see her in such pain, and felt annoyed: "Why do you have this problem again?"
Shen Qing thought to herself, "Don't draw hatred again."
"It's not that I have this problem all over again. This time I was greedy and ate something cold, so I felt pain."
Xuanyuan Ling looked at Chen Qing with resentment.
Shen Qing: “…” Straight man.
She showed him her grievance on the spot: "I am already feeling uncomfortable, but the emperor is still fierce."
At the moment, she was feeling uncomfortable and unhappy, and she felt aggrieved. How could Xuanyuan Ling harden his heart and say anything?
"I didn't mean that." Xuanyuan Ling said, "But you have always been cautious, why are you still greedy..."
"I love to eat it."
Before Xuanyuan Ling finished speaking, Shen Qing interrupted him.
Xuanyuan Ling suddenly realized, is this little thing becoming more and more disrespectful? How dare he interrupt him?
How does he know that women are more irritable when they have their period?
Shen Qing hummed and looked at him.
Xuanyuan Ling saw that she was holding back her anger, but he didn't have the heart to be mean to her. After all, she was feeling uncomfortable, so it was normal for her to have a bad temper: "Will drinking this make you feel better?"
Shen Qing doesn't like to drink, she really doesn't like to drink this, she looked at Xuanyuan Ling eagerly: "It can be better, but it tastes bad."
Xuanyuan Ling said something very truthful: "It's uncomfortable if you don't drink, so drink it."
This straight man, Shen Qing is spoiled anyway, and she is in a bad mood at the moment: “The emperor coaxes the concubine, and the concubine is happy to drink.”
Xuanyuan Ling made her feel neither good nor bad.
But thinking about it, this little thing usually coaxed him, and he could ask her to coax him when he was in a bad mood. Now that she was feeling uncomfortable, it would be okay to coax her. Besides, it was in the boudoir after all, and outsiders couldn't see it. Xuanyuan Ling said that she was being pampered, and took the bowl from her.
He could even smell the thick brown sugar ginger water. No wonder the little thing didn't want to drink it. He was not good at serving people, but after all, he was used to being served, so he knew how to do it. He scooped a spoonful, blew on it, and put it to her mouth.
Shen Qing told him to feed it like this, so he drank it, but he still drank it with a frown on his brow.
But even if Xuanyuan Ling fed her, she was not happy to drink after drinking half a bowl.
Xuanyuan Ling didn't feel annoyed. The little thing drank for a whole day last time. Now that he could feed him and drink half a bowl, he was really giving him face. He even asked, "Did you drink more?"
Shen Qing drank something hot, and although his throat felt uncomfortable due to the spiciness, his stomach did feel a little better, and his face became rosy from the spiciness, not as pale as before, so he nodded: "Your Majesty, feed me, I will feel much better naturally."
It was obvious that these words were said deliberately to tease him.
But before Xuanyuan Ling could say anything, Shen Qing opened his arms towards him and said, "Hug me."
This is a delicate thing. In fact, it is very taboo for women to have their period in the palace. After all, if they report to the Jingshifang, they cannot wear the green card, which also means that they cannot see the emperor. Therefore, they really cannot keep her. However, Xuanyuan Ling still hugged her when he saw her like this, and then asked Shen Qing to take his hand and put it on her lower abdomen. Shen Qing leaned on his chest and said, "The emperor's hands are hot, hold them."
Xuanyuan Ling held the girl in his arms and covered her for a while. Thinking that she was in pain, the two of them didn't say anything. After a while, he looked down and saw that the little thing had fallen asleep against him with her eyes closed. It seemed that the previous pain had consumed her energy, and now that she felt comfortable, she fell asleep.
Xuanyuan Ling let her lie down and covered her with clothes. In the end, he did not leave, but lay down beside her. Although it was not the first time he saw Shen Qing's sleeping face, she was usually gentle and affectionate after making love. Anyway, he was not sleepy at the moment, so he looked at her for a while.
This little thing looks even more tender after falling asleep. It no longer has the delicate and playful look of the past. It looks very well-behaved, and when it doesn't talk, it's not annoying at all.
Xuanyuan Ling looked at him, curled his lips, and then fell asleep unknowingly.
Zhao Hai thought that the emperor would be able to come out, but, after entering Concubine Xi's room, the emperor really couldn't come out.
Chunhua was also relieved. It was a good thing that the imperial physician was not called. She was afraid that the emperor would call the imperial physician.
Now, all the nobles in the palace are very eye-catching. It sounds good to say that she is the only favorite, but it also requires people. The Empress Dowager asks questions from time to time. The Emperor can do this, but he really cares about her. Chunhua is also happy for Chen Qing.
