Chapter 163 Preparing to Serve the Sick
Chen Qing chatted with Concubine Chun for a long time, but seeing that the Third Prince was about to go to sleep, they stopped talking.
Chen Qing said goodbye. Concubine Chun looked at Chen Qing going away and felt a little sad. It was a pity that such a good person was wasting his time in the palace. Now the situation in the palace is like this. She has won the emperor's favor and will be selected in the future. I wonder if she can resist the fact that the new one is better than the old one?
Shen Qing walked around for a while and then decided to stop. If she went any further, the sun would be too strong. She came out this time because it was hot. There was no sunscreen or anything like that here, so she planned to get some facial masks and use them herself.
Just as he came back from a trip, Chen Qing asked Fang Yun to make a facial mask.
It's called a facial mask, but actually she also did it on her arms, legs, etc. She applied the mud she made herself on her body and washed it off. It was time for lunch.
Xuanyuan Ling arrived just as we were having lunch.
Shen Qing had just taken a shower and her hair wasn't dry yet.
Xuanyuan Ling looked at him and said, "Why are you washing your hair now? And you don't even dry it carefully?"
Chen Qing said: "We took a bath together. Thinking that the weather was hot, we just let it go."
She raised her arm, revealing a white arm, and moved it in front of Xuanyuan Ling.
Xuanyuan Ling just looked at her snow-white skin, and couldn't help but reach out to pull her hand down and put it in his own hand.
Shen Qing pulled her hand away and said coquettishly, "Your Majesty, have you noticed that my skin has improved?"
Xuanyuan Ling pinched it twice, but before he was satisfied, the little thing pulled his hand away. He pouted and pulled it back, and then looked at it carefully. Shen Qing's skin has always been good, white and smooth, and it feels like soft jade, which makes him love it.
But she specifically asked him this question, thinking that she wanted him to guess what she had done today. He lifted her hand and smelled it, and it still smelled of milk: "Did you take a bath with milk?"
Chen Qing said: "No, I made a facial mask with milk, egg white and pearl powder. The milky scent is quite nice, isn't it?"
Xuanyuan Ling laughed: "It smells like a baby."
Shen Qing: “…” Straight man.
Then I don’t want to continue this topic.
Xuanyuan Ling noticed that Chen Qing was losing interest. Well, this little guy was happy to share with him. Anyway, he really didn't understand this matter, but he was rich, so what did it matter if he didn't understand?
"I will ask someone to send you more pearls later, so that you don't run out of pearls. If you like to bathe in milk, I will send you some later."
Shen Qing smiled: "Doesn't the emperor dislike the smell of baby?"
Xuanyuan Ling glared at her: "You are so bold that you deliberately misinterpret my meaning."
Shen Qing cleared her throat and said deliberately: "I was thinking that I am ten years younger than the emperor, so it is not wrong to call the emperor a baby. After all, the emperor was in his teens, and I might have just learned to walk at that time, right?"
Xuanyuan Ling: “…”
"What nonsense."
He had just hit her for the sake of convenience, but now it really felt like an adult scolding a child. She didn't know whether to put her hand away or put it down after hitting her. She was completely embarrassed.
Shen Qing thought several times that this guy was underage, and now he was completely embarrassed. She felt that he had the same feeling as her today, which was really fun.
Xuanyuan Ling felt even more embarrassed when seeing that smile, and asked sternly, "Where are the rules?"
Well, enough is enough.
After all, Xuanyuan Ling was really upset and she had to coax him, so she quickly looked aggrieved and said, "I am just telling the truth." If you are entangled in this point, then you are not generous.
Xuanyuan Ling felt that Shen Qing was becoming more and more unruly in front of him, but he was really not angry. He felt that since she had made a fuss last time and asked him to protect her, her temperament became more relaxed. How could this be considered unruly and unruly in front of him? This was because she was at ease in front of him, so how could he be angry?
I can only helplessly say: "Okay, stop making trouble."
He said he wouldn't make a scene, but he had to make a scene. He wasn't angry, right? This helpless expression showed that he could push things further. However, he didn't make a scene too much, so he used the hand that Xuanyuan Ling didn't hold to hook Xuanyuan Ling's Adam's apple.
Xuanyuan Ling's Adam's apple rolled up and down, feeling very itchy, and he couldn't help but shrink a little, and then he saw Shen Qing looking at him in surprise: "So the emperor is ticklish."
"..." Xuanyuan Ling always had the illusion that his braids were caught by this little thing, but how could he let her grasp him when he was ticklish as an emperor? So he simply tickled Shen Qing.
Chen Qing was ticklish, so he naturally knew that the waist and neck were his weak spots. Chen Qing didn't expect Xuanyuan Ling to be so naughty. He refused to do it and tickled him back. Then the two of them fell on the bed, tickling and laughing. After laughing enough, they could get together and kiss for a few days. After kissing, they could still make trouble.
In fact, they didn't do anything, but the act of tickling each other was so childish.
After the fun, Xuanyuan Ling felt that he was really crazy for letting this little girl play like this. But seeing Chen Qing's uncontrollable joy, he didn't get upset and finally laughed.
Lunch came up soon, and the two sat down to eat together. Not long after they finished eating, news suddenly came from outside, and it was two pieces of news in a row. Zhao Hai frowned when he heard the news, and he had to report it.
Zhao Hai reported: "The servants serving the Empress Dowager came to report that the Empress Dowager was unwell."
Shen Qing was also silent.
The atmosphere suddenly became bad. She couldn't help but look at Xuanyuan Ling. Sure enough, her face, which was fine just now, was now slightly gloomy. However, Xuanyuan Ling still asked, "What did the imperial physician say?"
If he could report this, it must mean that the imperial physician has already gone to check it out.
Zhao Hai said: "It's the same symptom as before. He said he was dizzy and couldn't get up from his bed."
When she was in the palace, the imperial physician looked after her and there was nothing wrong with her. But now she is feeling dizzy again. What a coincidence! It has only been a short time since Chen Mianmian sent the empress dowager the mung bean and lily soup, and now she is sick.
Xuanyuan Ling had no expression on his face: "Well, let's ask the Queen to take care of the patient."
The Queen Mother was ill, and as her son he could not fulfill his filial duties, so the Queen had to do it.
Zhao Hai was really embarrassed when talking about this: "The Queen also sent for the imperial physician."
Xuanyuan Ling frowned: "What happened to the Queen?"
"It's... abdominal pain." Zhao Hai couldn't just say it was menstruation, right? He must have used something cold, so he had abdominal pain, so he called the imperial physician.
Xuanyuan Ling understood what he meant by his pause, but she was still angry. Since the Queen couldn't go to attend to the sick, other concubines had to go. The others all had children with them. The only ones who didn't have children were Concubine Ru and Chen Qing. If the Queen couldn't go, he couldn't ask Concubine Ru to go alone to attend to the sick. Chen Qing had to go as well.
In this way, the Queen Mother really cut off the source of the trouble by not leaving him even a single person to sleep with him.
Xuanyuan Ling sneered. It was not his conspiracy theory, but the empress dowager's illness had been fine for a long time, but suddenly it relapsed. It was also a coincidence that the queen got sick. Combined with Chen Mianmian, Xuanyuan Ling couldn't help but think too much.
