Chapter 152 Affection
Chen Qing passed by and said something sarcastic, "The emperor is really likable," and then was glared at by Xuanyuan Ling.
It's obvious that she 'likes' him, the kind that is deeply in love with him. The looks and gestures of other women have shown it all, and she can't remain indifferent.
But after being glared at, Shen Qing really sighed. The emperor is popular with women. Women really flock to him. His eyes are so straight, and it is true that a girl's feelings are always poetic.
There are many women like this in the palace. Now she has the title of the favorite, but there are countless women in the harem who are looking forward to his favor.
Among the concubines and palace maids, some wanted to climb up the social ladder, while others admired him.
The identity of an emperor alone is enough to attract people, but he is young and good-looking, which is really a disaster.
So, how could she possibly have feelings for the emperor? It was disgusting enough to have a group of women serving a man.
In fact, he was good enough to her.
Shen Qing couldn't say that he was bad from the perspective of an ancient concubine. As an emperor, he protected a concubine like this, wasn't that good enough? He was forced to participate in palace fighting, and he had to go back to sleep with someone. He even asked the imperial physician to trick the queen into giving her a sick note.
But she wasn't born here after all.
So when Shen Qing thought about their relationship, she felt a little ironic, but she couldn't say she didn't feel any guilt at all. Of course, the guilt was only because she had lied to him.
I always feel a little guilty after using false pretenses to trick people into falling in love with me.
Even if Xuanyuan Ling was moved, he was not deeply in love, but it was definitely wrong to deceive someone's feelings.
Even though it was wrong, she didn't regret lying to him. After all, if she didn't lie, would she really be sincere?
Should you be sincere towards an emperor who will have more women in the future?
That would be just asking for trouble. Even if she was confident and resourceful, she didn't think she could turn an emperor into a good boyfriend.
That's not realistic, the innate conditions are there.
Therefore, as long as he doesn't find out and keeps lying to her, he will be very happy. It may not be a bad thing, or it can be said that it is good for both of them.
This can be considered as a kind of balance in their identities in a different sense.
Xuanyuan Ling glared at Chen Qing and saw that she lowered her eyes as if she was thinking about something. He couldn't help but hold her hand tightly and asked, "What are you thinking about?"
This little thing, if I don't check it for a while, I don't know what it's thinking.
Didn't she just meet Chen Mianmian? He didn't fancy her, so why should she care so much? What a jealous little thing.
"I'm not thinking about anything. What can I think about?"
She said it with pride: "Can she go beyond me?"
Xuanyuan Ling had just promised that no newcomers would be able to surpass her in the future, and now he asked her to bring it up.
And she sounded quite proud when she said it, as if she was showing off. She wasn't showing off that she was favored, but showing off that he was next to her.
Xuanyuan Ling smiled and said, "Well, it's a good idea to think like that."
This obvious trust makes people feel warm inside.
He said, and she believed it.
It's hard to bear to betray her trust, right?
Xuanyuan Ling took her hand and walked forward. This imperial garden was familiar to everyone, but with a different person by his side, the thoughts of walking in the garden were also different. |
In fact, among the several times that Shen Qing and I "encountered" each other in the Imperial Garden, this was the first time that the two of us were walking in the Imperial Garden without "encountering" each other.
Chen Qing really didn't have much interest in flowers and plants, but he would occasionally stare at a fruit tree for a few more seconds.
"You're greedy." Xuanyuan Ling always found it funny, so he pulled her to the pavilion to sit and feed the fish. He then recalled the first time he ran into her by chance in the Imperial Garden: "Were you really looking at the fish in the lotus pond that day? Do you want to eat some?"
Shen Qing also remembered this, but she didn't think about food: "The emperor also punished me to kneel."
Xuanyuan Ling: “…”
Shen Qing's little eyes stared over.
What else can Xuanyuan Ling do?
"I just thought it was a coincidence."
Now he could still recall why he asked her to kneel down as punishment. He saw her twice on the palace road, and then he ran into her again when he came to the Imperial Garden. This was the third time he had met her, and he wanted to see if she was deliberately trying to seduce him. Xuanyuan Ling really didn't like people who were content, but if Chen Qing really had to put on a lot of airs to win favor at that time, he naturally didn't like it either.
At that time, Shen Qing knelt down obediently, without any sign of seeking favor.
Xuanyuan Ling thought about it and felt a little guilty. Just when he felt a little guilty, Chen Qing said resentfully, "My knee was injured at that time. It hurt so much." She still remembered it.
Xuanyuan Ling's guilt instantly increased: "It's my fault. I didn't know how good you were at that time."
This is just coaxing people. Look, they are even calling each other "Qingqing".
Shen Qing turned his head and looked at him, looking a little overwhelmed.
Xuanyuan Ling felt really fond of her when he saw her little appearance: "Don't be angry, ok?"
Chen Qing said: "Then from now on, I will not kneel before the emperor unless there are many people around."
Xuanyuan Ling laughed: "When have you ever really followed the rules in Zhaohua Palace?"
Shen Qing thought about it, it seemed so, she was thinking about how to hook up with him, and he basically did surprise attacks, so there were really few times when he was polite, but there were more times when he was not disciplined, but that couldn't be recognized: "It was the emperor who didn't follow the rules in Zhaohua Palace."
Xuanyuan Ling was really helpless. This little thing actually turned the tables on him: "Yes, I was the one who started it. I don't blame you."
The two of them walked hand in hand in the Imperial Garden, but they didn't notice that Concubine Li was about to return when she unexpectedly ran into Xuanyuan Ling and Shen Qing.
She saw the two of them being intimate at a glance, and she didn't feel anything about her body shape at first, but she didn't want to lose the emperor's favor after giving birth.
If possible, she still wants the emperor's favor. No woman wants to show her ugly side to others. She is fat, but she is pregnant. If other women see it, she can comfort herself that she is pregnant while others are not. But if the emperor sees it and is disgusted by it, then there will be no future.
So Concubine Li hid herself.
She couldn't hear what Xuanyuan Ling and Shen Qing were saying, but seeing how intimate they were, she felt really bad. It seemed that even if she didn't hide, others might not notice her presence. It was obvious that she was still pregnant with his child. After they left, Li Meiren came out and she had no intention of shopping anymore.
Chen Qing and Xuanyuan Ling didn't notice that someone had quietly left, and the atmosphere between them was very good at the moment.
Xuanyuan Ling didn't expect that he could feel comfortable walking on a road. With Chen Qing by his side, holding her and talking to her from time to time, it seemed as if the road would never end. But even so, he felt comfortable in his heart. He even felt a little excited when he looked back and saw the little thing right beside him, within his reach.
Xuanyuan Ling looked at the horizon, then at a peach blossom not far away that had not withered, and suddenly looked at Chen Qing and wrote: "The peach blossoms smile out of the fence, and they are most affectionate when they seem to be blooming but not yet blooming."
