Chapter 17 Shuttlecock
After all, Xuanyuan Ling had encountered the matter of Concubine Wang himself, and later asked Zhao Hai to keep an eye on it. Originally, he never cared about the affairs of the harem, but she was just a beauty, and he wouldn't dare to be so presumptuous when she was drunk.
Although Zhao Hai was ordered to inquire.
Zhao Hai knew in his heart that he couldn't investigate the matter completely, but he couldn't not investigate it either.
Then Xuanyuan Ling got the news that Concubine Wang had previously gone to Concubine Yu to gain more favor and asked Concubine Yu to deal with her, and it was an accident that she met the imperial carriage at that time.
After seeing this, Xuanyuan Ling still had nothing to understand.
He sneered.
Concubine Yu was too favored, and everyone thought they could gain favor by clinging to Concubine Yu. As for Concubine Ru, there was no need to investigate how much influence she had on him.
It's not that he didn't favor Concubine Ru in his early years. In fact, Concubine Ru was his first woman. She was given to him by his mother, who was not yet the empress dowager at that time, before he became emperor. The relationship between Xuanyuan Ling and the empress dowager is complicated. He has always been lukewarm towards Concubine Ru. This anger and the second princess who passed away made him feel a little guilty towards Concubine Ru. Therefore, he gave her the title of concubine when she entered the palace, which was considered a respect for her.
Unexpectedly, the plan came true and was directed at him.
This time, Xuanyuan Ling really hated Concubine Shangru. As for Concubine Yu, he also knew her well, but she had become more and more arrogant since she gave birth to twins, a boy and a girl. Xuanyuan Ling didn't like it, but it hadn't reached the point of disgust. After all, she was pregnant.
"Marry her." Xuanyuan Ling said, "Since the Queen has asked someone to recuperate, then let him stay. The palace is not so poor that it cannot afford to take care of a patient."
When Zhao Hai heard this, he lowered his head even more.
The emperor said that person was ill, and there was no possibility for him to be favored again in the future. Even if Concubine Wang was not ill, she could only be sick.
Xuanyuan Ling thought for a moment and said, "The Queen has worked hard to arrange the eldest prince's birthday. I will send her some nourishing food later."
After all, the Queen does not have three heads and six arms. There are always things that she cannot see. The Queen has also lost face in this matter. She still needs to appease the people now.
When the emperor said it was over, the matter was over.
Xuanyuan Ling was probably really disgusted by Concubine Wang's behavior. He didn't want to think about the harem and was busy with state affairs.
When the weather gets hot, drought occurs in some places.
The court was in a mess over this matter and Xuanyuan Ling was busy for a while. After this busy period was over, he began to take care of the Jingshifang again.
Wang De took the green card and waited for Xuanyuan Ling to turn over the card. Xuanyuan Ling saw Shen Qing's card, but his hand reached over and turned over Concubine Fang's.
This little girl is very conspicuous in the harem. She has no right to give birth to a child and cannot be promoted directly. This is against the rules. If she is still favored, she will indeed attract attention.
That night, Concubine Fang slept with the emperor.
A few days later, he went to Concubine Yu to see the child, and went again the next day.
Then we went to Zhaohua Palace.
But this time it came during the day, which caught people off guard.
Shen Qing still lives her own little life. After all, her little life is still relatively comfortable, which is naturally much better than when she first entered the palace.
On weekdays, Chen Qing could still play some games with Chunhua and Fangyun. Today, Chen Qing wanted to sweat out the toxins, so he asked Fangyun to make a shuttlecock and dragged them to play in the yard.
Shen Qing was playing shuttlecock when Xuanyuan Ling arrived.
There wasn't much entertainment here, so she enjoyed herself to the fullest when she could find something to play with. She kicked the ball very well, and for convenience she asked someone to put her hair into a ponytail. She didn't even wear a skirt, and looked like a tomboy.
Xuanyuan Ling was not so far away from recognizing Chen Qing, he just had never seen a shuttlecock. But seeing Chen Qing jumping so happily under the tree, with her little face flushed and full of energy, Xuanyuan Ling subconsciously curled the corners of his mouth when he saw her.
It was not until someone paid their respects that the servants all knelt down, and then Shen Qing stopped and paid his respects to Xuanyuan Ling.
Xuanyuan Ling sat on the stone bench next to him and looked at the shuttlecock: "What is this?"
Chen Qing said: "This is what I came up with. Look, there are three copper coins hanging here."
Xuanyuan Ling took a look and found that there were indeed three copper coins hanging on it, which was quite cleverly made.
Shen Qing took the shuttlecock and smiled, her eyes curved like crescent moons: "Your Majesty, do you want to see me kick? I kick very well."
The little girl looked cute, but it was against the rules.
"When I wasn't here in the past, were you also so lazy?" The tone was a little off.
The servants around lowered their heads as they listened.
Shen Qing shrank his neck as if he was afraid, but he still showed it off like a treasure, like a child who got a new toy and couldn't help but want to show off to someone, his eyes sparkling: "Do you want to see it?"
Xuanyuan Ling said with a straight face: "So what if I don't like it?"
Shen Qing said cautiously: "Then, if I don't play well, the emperor will punish me?"
Are you rushing to ask for punishment because you know he won't punish you and you are so fearless?
Xuanyuan Ling went to see Chen Qing, but found that she was not afraid, but also aggrieved.
How can you not feel wronged? I happily share your interesting stories, but you still blame me.
The whole person drooped down.
There was no direct mention of punishment at the start of the day, but you are already feeling wronged.
Xuanyuan Ling frowned slightly: "Kick him first and talk about it."
Shen Qing kicked it.
The servants around were all silent, and they were all worried about Mr. Shen.
Chen Qing performed normally, kicking the shuttlecock without feeling wronged, and after he finished, he looked at Xuanyuan Ling again.
Xuanyuan Ling looked at her and saw that her mood suddenly improved, and he was puzzled. Wasn't she feeling aggrieved just now?
But Shen Qing smiled slightly, she walked to Xuanyuan Ling and whispered: "When I was jumping just now, I figured out one thing."
"kindness?"
Chen Qing leaned close to Xuanyuan Ling's ear and whispered, "In fact, the emperor doesn't dislike me playing shuttlecock. He is worried that my dress will be seen by others and it will be indecent, so he scares me like this, right?"
Even if she wasn't concerned, she didn't believe that Xuanyuan Ling got angry for no reason just because he saw her kicking shuttlecock. If his temper was really so bad, how could he tolerate Concubine Yu's arrogance?
Therefore, Shen Qing acted like a good boy. If a man was given such a high hat, even if he was really angry, he would not be punished too harshly.
Moreover, what she said just now was not necessarily wrong. If she had really disliked it from the beginning, she would not have sat down.
Xuanyuan Ling only felt that the gentle voice penetrated into his heart from his ears.
Xuanyuan Ling was really annoyed because he didn't know the rules.
But before he could get angry, Shen Qing took a step back, knelt down in front of him with a smile on her face, put her hands on his knees, and said in a voice that everyone else could hear: "Your Majesty, I accept the punishment."
This is not accepting punishment, it's more like receiving a reward.
Xuanyuan Ling saw her smiling face, with stars in her eyes and a slight redness on her face due to exercise. Then his sight somehow fell on her pink lips, and he suddenly felt an impulse in his heart.
The words that came out of her mouth were so sweet, I wonder if they tasted sweet too.
This thought flashed through his mind, and Xuanyuan Ling realized what he was thinking. He felt angry and impulsive, and his mood became very complicated in an instant.
His face was really gloomy at the moment, blaming her for being too seductive: "Go copy the scriptures and calm down."
After saying that, he got up and left.
