Chapter 138 Li Li
Xuanyuan Ling asked Zhao Hai to pass on the message, and went to Zhaohua Palace in the evening. When he arrived, Chen Qing was playing mahjong. When Xuanyuan Ling arrived, Wang Lu and the others naturally all got up and saluted again.
It was already dark, but Chen Qing actually asked people to light the lamps and play mahjong. He was in a really good mood.
Xuanyuan Ling had played it once before and found it quite interesting, but it was similar to gambling, so although it was interesting, Xuanyuan Ling only played it once and that was it.
This time, Chen Qing did not rush to ask Xuanyuan Ling to play. Last time she wanted to coax him, but this time she didn't need to coax him. When Xuanyuan Ling came, she simply didn't want to play.
Xuanyuan Ling felt that this little thing was good at guessing his thoughts and didn't even consider that he had fun playing last time and this time he pulled him to play together.
In this respect, I am already better than many people.
Shen Qing waved her hand, and Wang Lu and the others removed their stalls. She turned around and took Xuanyuan Ling's arm: "I thought the emperor would not come today."
What I mean is, I will only play if you don’t come. I know that if you come, I will definitely be thinking about you, so I won’t play.
Xuanyuan Ling went to pinch her nose: "You have a clever mouth."
Shen Qing and he entered the inner room. At first, they chatted a little, but after all, there was something about Shen Zhizhuo today, so it was inevitable to talk about him as well.
"What do you think of your brother?"
Chen Qing felt that this dog emperor was at it again. Last time she was roundabout and had already expressed her stance. This was the second time, and she couldn't stand her temper anymore, ok?
So Shen Qing stopped smiling, stopped holding Xuanyuan Ling's arm, and even took a step back.
"Is the Emperor testing me?" She said this directly.
The expression that could be seen was not anger, but grievance.
Xuanyuan Ling listened to the meaning of her words. What was she feeling wronged about?
"What am I testing you on?"
Shen Qing felt even more aggrieved, and was about to cry: "The emperor cares about me and treats me well, and I am happy, but now this matter is out in the open, the emperor should just do his job impartially, and if I mention it more, it will be the harem interfering in politics. How dare I do such a thing?"
Xuanyuan Ling felt distressed when he saw that she was about to cry, but he was really annoyed when he heard what she said: "I said you were interfering in politics?"
Shen Qing's grievance paused for a moment, and she looked at Xuanyuan Ling as if she was confused: "Isn't it?"
Xuanyuan Ling was both angry and amused.
It was for Xuanyuan Ling. At first, he didn't participate in the Spring Examination, so he mentioned it on purpose to see what this little thing was thinking. But now that he has been confirmed to be buried, it is a public matter. Is there any problem with the Palace Examination? He would not do anything deliberately. He just thought that this little thing would be happy to know about it, so he mentioned it on the same day.
Chen Qing lowered her head and said, "I am overthinking. I am just a mean person and I have been judging the emperor." After a pause, she added, "It was the same last time."
Xuanyuan Ling did feel a little guilty about this sentence he added at the end. It was true last time. At that time, he really wanted to see whether she wanted her brother to have a high position and a good salary.
He was not angry when she mentioned this.
Xuanyuan Ling exhaled the sun's breath, he was really noisy, why bother with all this fuss, this little thing is really sensitive, he must have noticed it last time, he couldn't hold it back when he was mentioned today.
But in fact, although Shen Qing was noisy in this regard, Xuanyuan Ling still felt that there was nothing wrong with her being noisy like this.
Again, the fact that she was making a fuss actually showed that she was being honest with him, or that she didn't treat him as an outsider, or even as the emperor?
As his thoughts turned, Xuanyuan Ling himself didn't know how he realized this, and then Xuanyuan Ling suddenly realized why he felt more comfortable staying in Zhaohua Palace than in Qianyuan Palace.
This little thing doesn't seem to treat him as the emperor, but instead seems to... treat him as her husband?
Xuanyuan Ling only then noticed the difference and felt a little strange for a moment.
At this time, Shen Qing saw that he was no longer angry and pulled his sleeve again: "Your Majesty, don't be angry. I think too much."
Here to coax him again.
He really doesn't seem afraid at all.
He was angry. Ordinary concubines would be afraid. Take the most domineering Concubine Yu for example. She would behave well when he got angry, and even be terrified. This was because she was afraid of the emperor. But Shen Qing was not like that. When he was angry, she was not afraid, but came to coax him instead.
This was care, and it had actually happened several times. She was not afraid, and it had been like this since the first time she slept with him. She was nervous at the time, but she asked someone to carry her back the first time she slept with him, and she was not afraid the second time she asked someone to carry her in. If she had not treated him as a husband rather than a king from the beginning, how could she not be afraid in front of him?
If she hadn't regarded him as her husband, how could she, knowing full well that the Queen was in a bad mood, have insisted that the servants around her deliver the pearl cake?
Xuanyuan Ling now thought about all these things himself. The more he thought about them, the more he felt that this little guy's mind was different from everyone else's.
In his life, he married the Queen and had many concubines, but no one made him feel that he was that person's husband.
Now he suddenly realized that Shen Qing actually treated him as her husband instead of the emperor, and he felt so complicated that he couldn't express it in words.
He went to see Chen Qing, and actually looked at her for quite a while.
Shen Qing asked him to look at her like this, but he didn't say anything. She sighed helplessly: "Then will the emperor punish me? I accept the punishment."
If he is really punished, how sad will this little thing be?
Xuanyuan Ling took the person into his arms and said, "It's not a big deal, and no one heard it. I don't blame you, it's my fault. I mentioned this and made you think too much."
This is all about the issue of the harem interfering in politics, it’s not a big deal, right?
Chen Qing hadn't expected Xuanyuan Ling to be able to think like that, but for a moment she seemed to realize that the dog emperor's attitude towards her had become much softer. Even if Chen Qing was resourceful, she couldn't have imagined that the emperor had such a big drama in his mind at this moment.
Of course, his attitude was good for Shen Qing, so Shen Qing naturally stopped when she saw the good, and happily hugged him softly and said, "Your Majesty is so kind."
Xuanyuan Ling had just had a sudden realization, and now he couldn't stand her calling him in such a delicate voice. He felt so soft in his heart that he thought about how she had just been wronged. He felt distressed when he thought about it now and wanted to compensate her.
"Is there anything you want to eat?" In Xuanyuan Ling's mind, Shen Qing's character as a foodie has always been stable.
Shen Qing said: "Today, I ate lychees, which were delicious."
"I'm asking what you want to eat."
Shen Qing blinked twice, and seeing that he seemed to want her to say something rare, she simply said, "Li."
It is hard to find plums at this time of year, and the tribute time has not yet arrived.
Xuanyuan Ling smiled and said, "You are so greedy. I will ask someone to bring it to you later."
