Chapter 145: Concubine
In the previous dynasty, Xuanyuan Ling was ranked first or second in the imperial court, and Shen Qing in the harem also heard the news. She calculated that Xuanyuan Ling had not come for fourteen days. If Shen Zhizhuo's matter could be settled today, then Xuanyuan Ling should come today, and maybe he would bring her good news about Shen Zhizhuo.
Thinking of this, Chen Qing asked Chunhua to change his clothes, and placed the jade pendant he had asked for earlier next to his pillow.
Before dinner, Xuanyuan Ling came as expected. Chen Qing saw him coming and ran to him without waiting for him to start the day.
Xuanyuan Ling watched her fall in front of him like a little butterfly, and then threw herself into his arms. He was in a panic and felt the little thing in his arms pulling him down, and then he lowered his head, and then he was kissed on the cheek.
The servants around didn't dare to look at him, and Xuanyuan Ling didn't care about the servants. In fact, she just touched him lightly with her lips, but he unconsciously raised the corners of his mouth, and his heart softened instantly: "Do you miss me?"
"I thought about it." Shen Qing's expression seemed very serious, very serious: "I think about it every day."
After a pause, in order to express that this was very much true, she specifically said: "I am not even as active as before when it comes to eating."
This was the first time Xuanyuan Ling heard someone express missing someone by using eating, but this little thing really loves to eat and is very greedy. He couldn't even eat because he missed someone so much. He really missed someone very much.
Xuanyuan Ling couldn't help laughing when she said that, and after she led her people in, Zhao Hai and his group spontaneously stayed outside.
I don’t know when it started, but this group of people consciously kept their distance when Shen Qing and Xuanyuan Ling were together.
Well, to avoid sudden blindness.
After Xuanyuan Ling and Shen Qing went in, Shen Qing refused to let go. Xuanyuan Ling saw Shen Qing hugging him with great attachment, so he simply bent down, picked her up horizontally, and told her to stay in his arms.
Shen Qing asked him to hold her like this, with both feet off the ground, and simply hooked his neck and kissed him again.
This was the second time Xuanyuan Ling asked her to tease him: "Don't you want to eat?"
Shen Qing chuckled twice: "I want to eat." But then he looked at him and said: "I can't help it. I haven't seen the emperor for a long time. I want to be close to the emperor."
"The sun is shining." Xuanyuan Ling's heart melted at her words, but she still had to be tough: "Don't you have any shame?"
Shen Qing said: "Your Majesty knows, I know, there is no third person in this room."
Xuanyuan Ling was really impressed by this little thing. She was not so bold at the beginning, but now she became more and more bold as they got along. It was he who indulged her to become like this, but he was happy with it. He felt embarrassed, but also somewhat enjoyed it. Deep down, he still enjoyed it very much.
It's good that she just thinks of him in her heart.
It's worth it that he's thinking about her, isn't it?
Although he was thinking about what to do at the moment, it was almost time for dinner. Thinking that Shen Qing had hurt her stomach before, the imperial physician had told her to eat small meals frequently, fearing that she would be hungry, he decided to eat something first, so he changed the topic to one that was less likely to provoke anger.
"Today I saw your brother and talked to him. Your brother..." Xuanyuan Ling said and looked at Chen Qing again: "That personality has nothing to do with you. If you didn't look a bit similar, I really wouldn't think he was your brother."
Chen Qing looked at Xuanyuan Ling in surprise: "I am a woman."
"That's right." Xuanyuan Ling said, "I came here today to talk to you. I think your brother is a good person. Although he seems a little stubborn, he can be useful if he calms down and tempers himself. Now that his matter has been decided, your appointment as a concubine can be put on the agenda."
"Well, Your Majesty will make the arrangements."
"You don't even ask what his official position is?"
"The emperor must have made good arrangements." Shen Qing said, "The emperor just said that he wanted to temper his temper, so I guess what he gave him won't be outstanding."
Xuanyuan Ling listened and laughed. This little thing was indeed smart and really knew how to understand his temper. Even though it sounded lazy, he just fell for it.
No matter what happens, he has to worry about it all.
But Xuanyuan Ling's worries were quite interesting. He smiled and said, "I appointed him to the Imperial Academy so that he can be stationed in Beijing or abroad in the future. As for you, the etiquette for promotion to the position of concubine is complicated, so don't complain about being tired in front of me."
"Thank you, Your Majesty." This was written for Shen Zhizhuo, but Shen Qing looked at him from behind: "Don't complain about being tired."
"You're still acting cute after getting an advantage?"
Chen Qing said: "I am afraid of trouble. Those are just for show. Anyway, it is good for the emperor and I to stay like this."
The women in the harem are like ministers in the court who want to be promoted. Who doesn't want to be promoted? What Chen Qing said was false. Being named a concubine means being the head of a palace. Only then can one be considered to have status in the palace. But Xuanyuan Ling enjoyed hearing this. After all, this was what he wanted to give her.
"When you are conferred the title of imperial concubine, you will have many servants around you. I will ask Zhao Hai to arrange them. He will definitely choose those with clean family backgrounds. Then, I will renovate your Zhaohua Palace. Zhaohua Palace is far from other palaces and is usually quiet. It will be good for you to live there."
When she becomes a concubine, she will be a real master. Even if he doesn't come in the future, she will be protected. Of course, he will not neglect her, but he wants her to feel more at ease. The people arranged by Zhao Hai are different from those arranged by the queen. There are fewer spies in other palaces. He wants her to live her own life. Even if she is in this deep palace, he thinks she should be more comfortable.
Shen Qing naturally understood what he meant.
He really wants to give her the best now.
Chen Qing looked at Xuanyuan Ling: "I just need to stay with the emperor."
Xuanyuan Ling said: "I see that you are thinking that eating will make you feel better when I come."
This is just a deliberate joke.
Shen Qing agreed with him: "Then I really hope that the emperor will come more often, otherwise I will miss the emperor so much that I lose my appetite and become thin and hungry."
She just said it casually, but Xuanyuan Ling really felt that this girl had lost some weight after not seeing her for more than ten days.
So there is a kind of hunger that the emperor thinks you are hungry, and Shen Qing was stared at while eating.
Shen Qing never expected that he would take her joke seriously. What else could she do if he took it seriously? Of course, she would just go along with him.
He didn't exercise immediately after eating. Xuanyuan Ling had lost control before, but now his self-control ability has improved. After eating, he still remembered to take her out for a walk and then go back to the room.
Xuanyuan Ling was very gentle that night. After not seeing each other for more than ten days, he could actually be gentle. Shen Qing was surprised. She just hoped that he would not get angry and pull her to have sex.
But Wenrou still benefited from it, so she responded positively. He understood her, and she also understood him, and she didn't beg for mercy as usual.
As a result, the jade pendant that was originally pressed under the pillow by Chen Qing was exposed and seen by Xuanyuan Ling.
Xuanyuan Ling was so excited that he couldn't help himself.
Shen Qing never expected that he would do something so bad. This wave, this wave is called shooting oneself in the foot.
Xuanyuan Ling had been suppressing it for more than ten days. He had been holding it in from the beginning, but fortunately he had done it once before, so he was not too excited. However, the second time took a little longer, and there was also a third time...
The next day, Xuanyuan Ling went to Fengyi Palace and was talking to the queen about Shen Qing's appointment as a concubine.
In fact, after Chen Qing was released from house arrest, he went to visit the Queen, so naturally the Queen didn't notice anything. Now the Queen has also heard about the affairs of Chen Qing's brother in the previous dynasty. The Queen was not surprised by Xuanyuan Ling's behavior. She couldn't refuse anyway, so she might as well agree to it readily.
With the Queen's approval, the title of concubine was officially put on the agenda. Chen Qing was still on the Queen's side on the surface, so naturally she had to discuss this matter with the Queen.
So she had to go and pay her respects again.
