Chapter 162 Intersection
The Queen has been keeping an eye on the Queen Mother's movements. Isn't it obvious that she wants to take Chen Mianmian away for summer vacation in order to do something?
That day, he led people to her without any scruples.
It's only been a few days since we arrived, but they are already impatient. When the Queen heard Chen Mianmian was ordered by the Queen Mother to deliver that useless mung bean and lily soup to Xuanyuan Ling, she could only sneer, "Are you really judging yourself and the Emperor by how loving the mother is and how filial the son is?"
Normally, she has a bad relationship with the emperor, so she should be more obedient if she is sensible. However, the emperor is considerate of her biological mother after all, and he might give her some face in the future. But she acts like "I am the empress dowager, you are my son and you must listen to me".
Would the emperor like it? Impossible.
Even if the Queen made Xuanyuan Ling angry, she at least followed the rules. The Queen Mother really had no rules at all. She brought Chen Mianmian, who was of questionable character, into the palace. Chen Mianmian was also a cheap person. She had no status and was willing to get close to him.
However, Chen Mianmian had been waiting outside the study for an hour. Her behavior must have distressed the emperor.
"It seems like it's time to put it on the agenda."
The Queen really didn't believe that the Emperor could resist the temptation of a woman. Just imagine, a delicate little beauty brought you a drink on a hot day, and she had to obey the Queen Mother's order. Isn't this inherently pitiful?
The emperor didn't punish anyone today, but he gave the queen a warning. How did Concubine Ru fall out of favor? Wasn't it because she went to the imperial study to seek favor, and the emperor made it clear that everyone who went to the imperial study was disgusted by her? But Chen Mianmian was not punished.
If Chen Mianmian really succeeds in climbing onto the dragon bed, it will be a disaster.
Although she is a daughter of the Chen family, she has now become a thorn in the Queen's throat.
Chen Mianmian thought that Xuanyuan Ling would show some sympathy to her after seeing her waiting outside for so long.
In the end, she got nothing except Xuanyuan Ling's cold look.
In fact, she had noticed that the Empress Dowager and the Emperor were not getting along, but she had not expected that the gap between the mother and son was so serious.
No wonder Nanny Cuiyun’s attitude was so strange. At first, Chen Mianmian really couldn’t understand why Nanny Cuiyun had such an attitude, but now she really understood that she really didn’t want her to be favored, or in other words, she really didn’t want her to hang around in front of the emperor with the title of the empress dowager’s person.
I’m afraid the emperor will be even more disgusted when seeing this.
Then she would be the Queen Mother's person and would never be in the Emperor's eyes.
Chen Mianmian didn't expect that this would become a problem, and it would be difficult to solve in a short time.
There were undercurrents here, after all, the fire could not burn Chen Qing. The next day, Chen Qing rushed out in the morning. There were so many trees and water in this palace, so much so that Chen Qing was happy to go out in the summer.
It was just a coincidence that Shen Qing didn't go out, but when he went out, he met Concubine Chun and the third prince coming out for some fresh air. Shen Qing naturally wanted to salute, but Concubine Chun shouted, "No need."
"I have always wanted to thank you, but I never found the chance. When I returned to Zhaohua Palace after my injury, Concubine Chun gave me a huge Ganoderma lucidum as a reward. I still remember it."
Concubine Chun said, "That's not necessary."
In fact, she had looked at Chen Qing more than once. After all, she could always see him when paying respects. Chen Qing was favored and always attracted attention.
But she had no intention of receiving the emperor's favor. She had seen Shen Qing and that was it. The Ganoderma lucidum she had used that day was really because she remembered the pain of her own infertility.
At this time, Chen Qing saw the water flowing out of the third prince's mouth, and couldn't help but remind the wet nurse who was taking care of him.
The nurse wiped the fluid quickly, but it soon started flowing again. Chen Qing looked at Sui Ri and said, "Is it time to grow teeth?"
Concubine Chun was a little surprised to hear what Shen Qing said: "Concubine Xi, you have never given birth, but you know this very well."
After Concubine Chun said this, she felt that she shouldn't have said it. Shen Qing's inability to give birth was a secret known to everyone. She knew about the child's affairs, so wasn't she heartbroken and paying attention to it privately?
This reminded Concubine Chun of how she missed her child day and night after she lost her child and became infertile. She could empathize with Concubine Xi's inability to have children.
He ignored his status and said, "I made a mistake."
"Your Majesty, there is no need to do this." Shen Qing said, "I have only read a few medical books, so I know a little."
Chen Qing had never expected that Concubine Chun had such a good temper. After all, she had never dealt with Concubine Chun before. But now, after a few words, she found that she could apologize for saying something wrong. She was of higher status than Concubine Chun and had a better family background.
Shen Qing couldn't help but sigh, this is a lady from a noble family. Well, there are still two decent looking ladies in Xuanyuan Ling's harem. Isn't Concubine Zhao also looking very comfortable, so he is not too miserable.
If they were all the same kind of people as Lin Liangren, Sun Liangren, and Qiao Meiren, she would feel sorry for Xuanyuan Ling, thinking that the harem was full of monsters.
Looking at the Third Prince again, she felt that it was fortunate that Sun Liangren had done it himself. The Third Prince was raised by Concubine Chun, which was much more fortunate than if Sun Liangren had raised him herself.
Thinking of this, Shen Qing looked at the Third Prince and smiled.
This smile was seen by Concubine Chun.
It further confirmed what she had just thought in her mind, that Shen Qing really liked children.
After all, they were all children who could not have children, so they probably felt sympathy for each other. It was rare for Concubine Chun to not reject the palace concubines. In fact, she had never been on good terms with anyone in the past. They all served the Emperor, and they were all scheming behind his back. Why should she make close friends with them?
Now that Chen Qing is in favor but cannot have children, while Concubine Chun has a family background and children, it cannot be said that one of them is taking advantage of the other's favor, but rather it is easy for them to get to know each other.
So sometimes the interactions between people also depend on fate. For example, Concubine Zhao also wanted to interact with Shen Qing, and even when she got pregnant, she wanted to give the child to Shen Qing, but the situation did not allow it. Shen Qing also thought that Concubine Zhao looked good, but they were just nodding acquaintances. However, he and Concubine Chun were just right for each other.
Concubine Chun smiled and said, "You just said that you have read medical books. The Third Prince has been bleeding a lot these days. I asked the imperial physician to check it out. He said that he is teething, so this is the case. Do you have any suggestions?"
Chen Qing shook her head: "I have only learned a little bit, how dare I compare myself with the imperial physician, but seeing the Third Prince, he must be very sad, why not make something hard and not easy to break for him to grind his teeth, it will be better when the teeth grow out."
Speaking of Concubine Chun, I have a lot of feelings for her.
Then Chen Qing and Concubine Chun talked for a long time about what to use to grind the Third Prince's teeth, which made the servants on both sides feel very novel.
Chen Qing didn't interact much with the palace concubines, and Concubine Chun didn't interact much with the palace concubines either. These two loners actually started chatting, and their chat was quite interesting.
