Chapter 176 Meeting Chen Zhizhuo
Although Concubine Chun didn't do much, she was not incapable of doing it. Since it was her duty, she would do it.
It was simple for Concubine Chun to arrange the concubines to accompany her. It was the same as when she went to the temporary palace. Anyway, Concubine Li was still in confinement after giving birth, and Concubine Zhao was pregnant and could not go.
There was no difference among the people who went climbing this time, except that the Queen was replaced by Concubine Yu.
We went up the mountain and came back the same day, so we didn't have to prepare as many things as when we went to escape the summer heat. In the end, we kept everything simple.
The matter was settled, and Xuanyuan Ling went to Zhaohua Palace the night before departure.
Shen Qing was somewhat helpless: "Your Majesty, why don't you go to Concubine Chun's place?"
Xuanyuan Ling glared at her after hearing this: "What? Are you expecting me to go to Concubine Chun?"
She said this with an expression that said, "If you dare to say yes, I'll leave." This was the aftereffect of asking her to push it away last time.
"I just said that on a daily basis." Shen Qing stroked her hair and said, "I just think that this matter was arranged by Concubine Chun. According to the rules, the emperor should go and see Concubine Chun."
This was not actually a comfort, but a way to support Concubine Chun and give her face, because this was the first time she had done such a thing alone.
Xuanyuan Ling could tell that Shen Qing didn't push him away on purpose, she was also thinking about Concubine Chun, it was a good thing that the palace concubines could live in harmony, but why was it so uncomfortable: "You feel sorry for Concubine Chun."
Shen Qing: “…”
Blinking twice, Shen Qing said silently: "Forget it, I will never mention Concubine Chun in front of the emperor again."
She even deliberately whispered, "In order to prevent the emperor from being stingy."
“…”
Xuanyuan Ling called Chen Qing this sentence, which was really neither up nor down. What's so stingy about it?
Could this be stingy?
But think about it, it seems that it is indeed not generous. This has nothing to do with men and women. Xuanyuan Ling felt uncomfortable enough when she heard Shen Qing say that she had a good life when he was not around. Now that Shen Qing has made friends, she always feels that she didn't have much time to think about him, and it was divided. She has a weird feeling about Concubine Chun in her heart.
Obviously, Concubine Chun was also his concubine, so why did he feel so awkward about it?
Xuanyuan Ling thought there was no solution to this problem, so he simply stopped thinking about it.
Because they were leaving the next day, Xuanyuan Ling did pull Shen Qing under the quilt to sleep that night. He didn't intend to disturb her and wanted to climb a high place, but he couldn't control himself the next morning.
In the morning, people tend to get excited easily, right?
Fortunately, Shen Qing woke up early, and her mind became clear as soon as she woke up: "We have to climb high today."
You want to climb the mountain? Why are you doing this so early in the morning? Do you really want me to go out?
Xuanyuan Ling was also embarrassed. He didn't touch her last night, but couldn't help it early in the morning: "I'll just rub it."
Shen Qing: “…” Can you believe a man’s words like this?
There was no way she could trust him.
It's really helpless, but he is the emperor, and he has probably never endured such a thing in his life. It's unrealistic to ask him to endure it. Shen Qing feels that for the sake of going out, he might as well lose his moral integrity at this time.
Then she extended her claws.
Xuanyuan Ling was completely frozen. He could see Chen Qing by lowering his head. She had a pair of gentle eyes that seemed to be smiling. He was trapped in those eyes and couldn't get out. His Adam's apple rolled up and down. He had experienced intense scenes before, but now Xuanyuan Ling's heart was beating very fast. He asked Chen Qing to control himself, and then it happened.
It was the first time that Chen Qing saw Xuanyuan Ling with a confused face as if he couldn't react. Of course, that was at the beginning. Later, after he got too excited, he was no longer like that. However, she always asked him to lead her in the past. After all, there was a difference in their physiques. Now, listening to his heavy breathing, Chen Qing suddenly felt that this dog emperor was quite sexy.
Then Xuanyuan Ling recovered and couldn't look directly at Shen Qing: "How dare you..."
As he said this, he felt that what he said was indecent and it was totally inappropriate.
Shen Qing stopped him with words: "I don't want to be unable to climb high."
Xuanyuan Ling was speechless for a moment, thinking that Shen Qing felt that if she served him, she could not leave the palace to see Shen Zhizhuo, so she did this in a hurry.
But I just can't look her in the face.
Xuanyuan Ling really couldn't look at her directly. He didn't even look at Chen Qing while he had breakfast, and then he quickly left Zhaohua Palace.
Zhao Hai felt that Xuanyuan Ling was walking in a hurry as he followed behind. He had noticed it when they were having dinner just now. Xuanyuan Ling was so anxious that it seemed as if something was chasing him from behind.
He just couldn't understand it, and Concubine Xi didn't come out to chase him.
How could he know that Xuanyuan Ling was embarrassed by Shen Qing for the first time.
Naturally, the concubines and the emperor did not leave the palace together. Chen Qing had to follow the large group of concubines. On days like the Double Ninth Festival, they had to wear dogwood. Wearing dogwood also meant protecting oneself. Other concubines also wore similar purses, and so did the children.
Concubine Yu was under house arrest in the palace before and did not accompany the Third Princess. This time she brought the Third Princess out with her, which seemed to show her high spirits.
But Shen Qing didn't visit her much.
She and Concubine Yu were at loggerheads, so it was a good thing that they didn't quarrel, so there was no need to say hello.
When they arrived at the destination, Chen Qing and his group could not get together with Xuanyuan Ling. They were accompanied by ministers and royal relatives, and other princes and uncles were also there. They were just there to serve as foils. Those with children were there to accompany their children to broaden their horizons. Chen Qing said they were going to climb a mountain, but in fact they were just walking around nearby.
Shen Zhizhuo is only a seventh-rank official now, and theoretically he is not qualified to attend such an occasion. However, his immediate superior expressed meaningfully that he should go with him on the Double Ninth Festival climb. He was touched, so he stayed there obediently and did not walk around. Sure enough, after lunch, a eunuch came to his door.
Shen Zhizhuo knew in his heart that he had guessed it right. There must be a reason why he could get such an exception, and the only reason he could think of was Shen Qing.
Then he was taken to see Shen Qing.
Shen Qing was told that someone was bringing Shen Zhizhuo over, so she waited, and not long after, she saw Shen Zhizhuo.
Shen Zhizhuo looked at Shen Qing at first sight. If it were someone else, he would never do this as it was against the rules. But he hadn't seen Shen Qing for nearly two years. At first glance, his sister was still very beautiful, but now there was something else in her beauty. He didn't feel strange after two years, but he suddenly felt a little distressed. Was she so strange and changed because she entered the palace?
Although he did not enter the palace, he found the officialdom difficult after entering it. He had a straight character and was bound to be tempered by others. Shen Qing's character was also gentle on the outside but strong on the inside. I wonder how he lived in the palace?
