Chapter 181 Preparing for the Draft
Zhao Hai was feeling very nervous, and was hoping that the Emperor would come to see Concubine Xi to cheer her up, but then this happened. Could it be that Concubine Xi had become so spoiled by her love that she threw a tantrum in front of the Emperor because of the upcoming beauty pageant?
Isn't this courting death? Don't fall out of favor before the newcomer enters the palace.
Zhao Hai was thinking about it when Shen Qing also knelt down.
In Zhaohua Palace, she had bowed except for the beginning, but she had not bowed since she was favored. Now she knelt down all of a sudden. Xuanyuan Ling subconsciously wanted to reach out to pull her back, but her cheek was burning. The slap came unexpectedly, and the force was not light. The hand was not extended. It should be said that the slap came too suddenly. Xuanyuan Ling did not react, but she knew in her heart that Shen Qing did not mean it.
Chen Qing also saw Zhao Hai and the others kneeling from the corner of his eyes. It was really a bad time to come.
It would have been fine if the servants didn't see it, but so many people saw it.
Wouldn't it be embarrassing for Xuanyuan Ling not to get angry?
We have to do this to give face to the emperor, right?
So Shen Qing stared at Xuanyuan Ling's beaten face, looking like he wanted to say something but didn't dare to.
He cannot apologize, because that would be embarrassing for him. Apologizing would remind him that as an emperor, he would be punished for being slapped in the face. At this time, he should feel that she did not do it on purpose, and that she feels guilty for hurting him, and that she cares about how serious his injury is. In this way, he will not focus on the fact that he is an emperor who was hit.
He should realize that the woman in front of him is his own woman, and that she cares about him very much now.
Xuanyuan Ling looked at Chen Qing's expression and realized that the anger did not arise and was extinguished.
Why is she angry? She didn't mean it, and she might even be frightened now.
But he was about to leave. He was slapped in the face by his own concubine. It was lucky that he didn't get angry at the moment. How could he be expected to stay here? He felt ashamed.
But as soon as he moved his foot, Shen Qing hugged his thigh and couldn't let him leave like this.
Xuanyuan Ling said in a deep voice: "Princess Xi."
This shout made those kneeling on the ground tremble with fear. He directly called her Xipin. Was the emperor really angry?
When Shen Qing heard this, he said anxiously: “Your Majesty, don’t leave.”
Xuanyuan Ling's heart softened immediately after hearing the little voice shouting. She had thought too much. He frowned and yelled at Zhao Hai and the others, "Get out."
Zhao Hai and his companions were also afraid. Since Xuanyuan Ling had spoken, how could they dare to disobey? When they came out, Chunhua and Fangyun were so anxious that their legs were shaking. That was a serious crime that would harm the dragon's body. What should they do?
In fact, when a group of them went out, Xuanyuan Ling looked at Shen Qing's frightened expression and said helplessly: "Let go."
Shen Qing did let go, but she immediately got up and reached out to touch his cheek.
Xuanyuan Ling felt discouraged when he saw her worried look.
Chen Qing looked at the red marks on Xuanyuan Ling's face and looked like he was about to cry: "Does the emperor feel any pain?"
What could Xuanyuan Ling say? He said it didn't hurt? He was the one who got slapped in the face, okay?
Before she could say anything, Shen Qing stumbled, and Xuanyuan Ling subconsciously went to help her: "What's wrong?"
Shen Qing pursed her lips and lowered her head again: "Just now, I knelt too hastily and bumped into something."
Xuanyuan Ling was really disappointed with such a delicate person.
Never mind, it’s not serious at all. Now he doesn’t feel any pain on his face anymore.
He helped the man sit down angrily and asked, "Where did you bump into the wall?"
Shen Qing also pulled him to sit down.
Xuanyuan Ling was really upset. He had spoiled the person, but he really didn't think clearly. Now he was hit in the face, but he was not angry at all. He looked at her expression and her face was still cold. He lifted her skirt to see where her knee was hit.
She was really angry: "I have spoiled you for so long? Why are you so timid? What a small thing makes you lose your sense of proportion?"
Well, this slap in the face has become a big deal.
"I was afraid of hurting the emperor."
Xuanyuan Ling had lost his temper after being coaxed by her: "With your little strength, how can it hurt anything? I'm fine even if you hurt your own hand."
Shen Qing: “…”
Her expression was a little subtle for a moment.
Xuanyuan Ling suddenly realized that he seemed to have said something wrong. Why was Shen Qing's hand more precious than his face?
Thinking of this, he glared at Chen Qing again. This little thing made him put the issue of dignity aside in his heart.
Shen Qing became obedient after being glared at by him.
In fact, what Shen Qing said was false. She did kneel, but she didn't kneel in a hurry.
Xuanyuan Ling lifted her skirt and rolled up her trouser legs. The skin on her knees was delicate, and there was no visible bruise or bump.
But Xuanyuan Ling looked at Chen Qing's eyes and reached out his hand to rub her helplessly.
I don't know where it hurts, and I can't see where it is, so I just rub it all.
Then, as he rubbed, he felt Shen Qing's hand touching his cheek, and then they said, "You rub my knees, I rub your face." It went on like this for a long time, and the matter just passed.
Xuanyuan Ling hadn't been to the harem for several days. Now that he was here and the matter was over, he naturally didn't leave.
Zhao Hai and the others were worried for a long time, until Xuanyuan Ling stayed for dinner. When they saw Chen Qing beating Xuanyuan Ling, they suddenly realized that the emperor was really not angry.
Zhao Hai found it incredible, yet strangely enough, he felt that it was quite normal.
Chunhua and Fangyun have made Chen Qing refresh his concept of the emperor several times. The emperor really dotes on the empress.
After relaxing for a day, you will naturally feel happy.
I hope the Emperor continues to love the Empress.
After this shocking incident, as soon as Xuanyuan Ling left the next day, Zhaohua Palace returned to peace. However, it was only a superficial peace. Although they could feel the emperor's favor, they were all looking at Chen Qing. Chen Qing cared about the draft, and everyone in Zhaohua Palace could see it. The closer the draft day got, the more time Chen Qing spent in a daze, which showed how much he cared, and Chunhua felt distressed when she saw it.
They all coaxed Shen Qing, fearing that Shen Qing would really think too much about the talent show and make himself sick.
As everyone in Zhaohua Palace was keeping a close eye on Chen Qing, the days passed one by one. This year's New Year's Day was due to the beauty pageant. Although Chen Qing made everyone in Zhaohua Palace lively like last year, the atmosphere was not as good as last year.
After the New Year's Day, Shen Qing was waiting for the Lantern Festival.
The hero and heroine met for the first time on the Lantern Festival, but Xuanyuan Ling had no intention of leaving the palace at all, so the plot of the hero and heroine meeting on the Lantern Festival was also dropped by Butterfly?
Shen Qing couldn't help but think, if even this first encounter scene has fallen apart, will the heroine still enter the palace?
And so it was the day of the draft.
The sky was clear on the day of the draft.
