Chapter 161 Not a Good One
Chen Qing leaned in Xuanyuan Ling's arms for a while without saying anything.
Xuanyuan Ling didn't find it boring either. He held her in his arms and the two of them stayed in this position for a long time. Xuanyuan Ling thought Shen Qing was going to sleep, but when he looked down, he found that she was not asleep.
She leaned against him, pinching his knuckles with her little hands slowly. It clearly meant nothing, but she seemed to find it quite interesting.
"Can't sleep?"
"I want to stay with the emperor for a while longer."
Xuanyuan Ling, who was very sweet-mouthed, curled the corners of his mouth: "Aren't we staying together now?"
Shen Qing said: "It's different."
Staying around is different from flirting with people as soon as you meet them, deliberately leading the topic in a certain direction, or behaving in a way that causes the other person to misunderstand.
Although she said something very strange at the beginning, in fact, she was very honest in her body language. She really didn't seduce him. After flirting for a long time, she had to slow down. She couldn't always be passionate, right? She had to take a break after using too many tricks.
Xuanyuan Ling was stunned for a moment, and somehow he heard something different from her word "different".
Originally, when he was with the palace concubine, there was nothing else to do except sleeping with her. He didn't like being with the palace concubine very much. But now he is being with Shen Qing, and he thinks it's pretty good.
Xuanyuan Ling held Chen Qing's hand tightly, and the two of them actually spent a long time in peace like this, until the moon was above the willows and Chen Qing began to yawn, and then they went to bed.
That night, Xuanyuan Ling took great care of Chen Qing, and Chen Qing couldn't say anything bad. And because Chen Qing wanted to sleep from the beginning, after all this tossing and turning, Shen Qing really fell asleep. Xuanyuan Ling was really angry and amused, and fell asleep directly. With this little girl's temper, she would dislike him again the next day.
Xuanyuan Ling called for water and carried the person to take a bath together. Because two people were bathing together, it was inconvenient for the servants to serve them. This time, Chen Qing asked Xuanyuan Ling to serve her while she took a bath. During the bath, she woke up from a daze and even complained twice that Xuanyuan Ling's service was not good enough.
Xuanyuan Ling really didn't think it was outrageous, he thought Shen Qing was confused in his sleep and even found it a little funny.
The next day, when Xuanyuan Ling woke up, Chen Qing was still sleeping. He turned around and saw that she was sleeping soundly. But he was about to leave. He hadn't asked Chen Qing to get up and help him get dressed for a long time. Now he simply got up by himself without disturbing Chen Qing. When he went out, there was naturally someone waiting for him outside.
Xuanyuan Ling came to the palace, so he skipped the morning court session. However, he had to meet with ministers, so he was still busy.
Xuanyuan Ling was still handling government affairs. Although this was not a forbidden palace, the study was almost a forbidden area. Zhao Hai was still guarding the door, but not long after he saw Chen Mianmian coming over.
Zhao Hai suddenly became alert. Wow, this girl is really brave.
Chen Mianmian came as soon as she arrived, holding a bowl of something that looked like soup.
Zhao Hai thought that this girl might be courting death, but Chen Mianmian said, "This is the lily and mung bean soup that the Empress Dowager asked me to give to the Emperor. It is said to be good for clearing away heat and relieving summer heat."
Wow, Her Majesty the Queen Mother has never done this before.
Zhao Hai really took a second look at Chen Mianmian. The previous Chen Zhenzhen was just sent away after the emperor took a quick look at her, but now this Chen Mianmian is so favored by the empress dowager? She was even asked to send food to the emperor in the name of the empress dowager.
Zhao Hai was really unhappy to see Xuanyuan Ling venting her anger on him: "Miss Chen, the emperor doesn't like to be disturbed when he is in his study." So if you really have this kind of insight, then leave quickly.
Unexpectedly, Chen Mianmian did not look depressed at all. Instead, she said, "I know that the emperor is very busy. Please don't worry about me. Just let me wait here. I will leave in a while."
Okay, I’ve thought about it.
Zhao Hai would stop trying to persuade her, since she is happy to wait, right?
Zhao Hai really didn't care, but he couldn't help but let the person stay there for an hour. Fortunately, the trees here were big and the surroundings were cool, otherwise, if he stood there for an hour, he would have fainted.
Zhao Hai was a little surprised when he saw this. This girl was quite stubborn. He looked at Chen Mianmian and thought she looked good. If she really had this intention, he didn't know what would happen in the end.
After all, Xuanyuan Ling did not have lunch in the study, so when the time was almost up, Zhao Hai would naturally go in to report. After Xuanyuan Ling knew it, he would tidy up and prepare to get up.
As a result, when I went out, I saw Chen Mianmian outside.
Chen Mianmian knelt down when she saw Xuanyuan Ling. The thing in her hand naturally made people unable to ignore it: "Your Majesty, I pay my respects to you. Long live the emperor."
Xuanyuan Ling forgave Chen Mianmian, a woman who had no rank at all and entered the palace under the banner of serving the Queen Mother, for not daring to send something to him so blatantly, but she sent it anyway. Xuanyuan Ling frowned, with a hint of sarcasm on his lips: "Did the Queen Mother ask you to send it?"
"yes."
Xuanyuan Ling's heart was filled with even greater irony. It was really blatant. He didn't care about her on weekdays, but when he was needed, he asked someone to send him food? How was this different from the bowl of poisonous sweet soup?
Of course, Chen Mianmian didn't know all this. She didn't disturb him too much, nor did she flatter him deliberately. It could be said that she didn't do anything to offend Xuanyuan Ling, except that she came from the Queen Mother.
But Xuanyuan Ling asked Chen Qing to use various means to seduce her until now, so it can't be said that he can see other people's means at a glance, but seeing that Chen Mianmian was clearly here to deliver something, but deliberately waiting outside for a long time, this behavior seemed very fake.
Yes, it is difficult to refuse the Queen Mother's order, but if Shen Qing was in Chen Mianmian's current position, she would definitely ask Zhao Hai if he could not send her off. She would just walk by and leave. She would definitely think of a way to deal with the Queen Mother. It is impossible for her to wait here deliberately to see him.
It’s not like Xuanyuan Ling hadn’t seen how Shen Qing treated the Queen that day. Rules are rules, and what happened in front of him was what happened in front of him. This little thing handled it very well and never complained.
Xuanyuan Ling felt that it was because Shen Qing put him first and knew that he was unhappy, so she would rather cause herself some trouble than make him unhappy.
But Chen Mianmian is different now.
If it were another man, or Xuanyuan Ling before, he would also think that this matter has nothing to do with Chen Mianmian, and she was also abiding by the rules, so he would not take it seriously. Maybe he would even think that Chen Mianmian was also brought into the palace by the empress dowager and was quite innocent, and he could even feel a little pity for her. After all, Chen Mianmian was still a little girl.
But now Xuanyuan Ling has become immune to these methods after being trained by Shen Qing.
Xuanyuan Ling admitted that Chen Qing loved him. He had seen how Chen Qing loved him. This method of pretending to be pitiful and wanting him to pity her seemed to be false, didn't it?
This was the second time Xuanyuan Ling met Chen Mianmian. Based on what she did today, Xuanyuan Ling felt that Chen Mianmian was not a good person.
