Chapter 186 The Queen's Transformation
Xuanyuan Ling went to the morning court, and Zhao Hai didn't dare to neglect Shen Qing. He was the first person to live in Qianyuan Palace, so who would dare to neglect him?
Then Shen Qing really slept in Qianyuan Palace until he woke up naturally.
When she woke up, Xuanyuan Ling had already left the court and went to the imperial study. Chen Qing thought that she was being too pretentious. She was still a little hungry, so she decided not to eat in Qianyuan Palace. Xuanyuan Ling had left a message, so naturally someone would take her back.
Chen Qing was hungry and wanted to eat, but there was so much news in the harem. Last night, many people were waiting for Xuanyuan Ling to turn over the card, and many people felt uncomfortable when they heard that Chen Qing was living in Qianyuan Palace. It was considered good if Concubine Chun just sighed and said, "It's rare for the emperor to be so fond of people" after hearing the news.
In Concubine Yu's palace, she was asked to throw things around so much that she had no place to put her feet.
Concubine Yu knew that Chen Qing was favored, but there was no one in the palace that the emperor liked before. Chen Qing was outstanding in appearance, but had no children, so there was no other choice.
But it's not that there are no choices now. Concubine Yu hates newcomers entering the palace, but the newcomers currently have no grudge against her. Chen Qing is different. She hates newcomers, but also hopes that the newcomers can dampen her enthusiasm.
As a result, Shen Qing not only showed no expression when the newlyweds came to pay their respects, but now she is trying to seduce the emperor from going to find the newlyweds, and even asked her to sleep in Qianyuan Palace.
That’s Qianyuan Palace!
She was so favored back then, but she didn't even sleep in Qianyuan Palace. How could Shen Qing be worthy of her!
Concubine Yu was furious, and the Queen also heard the news.
She had been ill for quite some time and had lost a lot of weight, but at least she managed to hold on. She had to. She was still the queen in name only, and even though the emperor had warned her, he did not punish her. This time it was her own fault that she had scared herself and made herself sick.
As long as she recovered, the emperor would have no reason to give Concubine Chun the power to assist in managing the six palaces, and Concubine Chun would not dare to continue to be in charge of the affairs of the six palaces after she recovered.
The Queen knew that Concubine Chun was a quiet person, so she would definitely not dare to do that.
Therefore, she was holding on for the rest of her life. If a person had this kind of mentality, he would not be depressed or afraid. As long as it was not a terminal illness, he would be able to survive.
The queen frowned when she heard that Shen Qing was living in Qianyuan Palace.
Seeing that the queen had been ill for such a long time, Jinzhi was afraid that the queen would feel bad after hearing the news: "It is Xipin who does not know the etiquette and dares to ask for favor like this. Your Majesty, do you want to summon Xipin over?"
On the surface, Shen Qing has always respected the queen. He did not dare to neglect the queen when he was favored before, but now he is favored like this, it is too much.
The queen also didn't expect that the emperor would allow Shen Qingxi to stay in Qianyuan Palace.
She shook her head: "It's not right now. I'm just getting better."
She has just recovered from her illness, and the power to assist in managing the six palaces is still in the hands of Concubine Chun. The emperor has been doting on Chen Qing for a long time, but it’s just that he went a little too far. So what?
There are many people in the harem who are eyeing the emperor's favor now. Being favored is not a good thing. Now she has to follow the emperor's wishes, so that she can take the power back from Concubine Chun as soon as possible.
So the queen took a deep breath and said, "Go to the storehouse and pick some things to send to Xipin."
Jinzhi found it unbelievable: "Xipin is trying to win favor like this, and the emperor is disregarding the rules..." According to the past, the queen mother would definitely have the responsibility to punish her.
It is against the rules for a concubine to do this.
"The rules were set by the Emperor. When the previous Emperor was alive, the Emperor's bedroom was not a forbidden area. Now the Emperor has broken this ban. If something happens now, it would be against the Emperor."
One thing she understood after the incident with Concubine Li was that she really couldn't challenge the emperor's authority. She was eager to have a child and offended the emperor, but in the end she ended up like this. Although she was the queen in the palace, the queen was under the emperor, and she didn't dare to force her way in like before.
She couldn't touch the person the emperor loved. Not only that, she had to hold her in high esteem. She absolutely couldn't go against the emperor.
At first, she kept Shen Qing because she wanted Shen Qing's child. Later, when she couldn't give birth, she was kept as a gun to deal with Concubine Yu. Now, if Shen Qing is obedient, she is happy to hold her, hoping that the emperor can give her more face and give her the honor that a queen should have.
She is the queen, she cannot be without the power of the queen. Even though she feels uncomfortable to use Shen Qing to ask the emperor to see her sincerity, she is willing to do it if it can make the emperor have a better impression of her.
Jinzhi only felt that being a queen was extremely bitter, but she also knew what the queen meant.
It was not necessary for her to deliver the reward on the same day. Jinzhi only went to Zhaohua Palace the next day.
Shen Qing was resting when she suddenly heard Jinzhi coming. She had no intention of neglecting her and went to greet Jinzhi in person.
As soon as Jinzhi came over, she saw that Shen Qing looked a little frightened. Originally, Jinzhi was still dissatisfied with Shen Qing in her heart, but seeing her fear, she knew in her heart that she still respected the queen.
The Empress now has to rely on Chen Qing's favor to please the Emperor. Jinzhi dislikes Chen Qing, but she won't show it openly.
"Don't worry, Concubine Xi. The Queen knows that Concubine Xi is afraid of the cold, so she sent a servant to bring you some warm things."
Shen Qing was stunned for a moment, and then looked surprised: "Thank you, Queen, for your concern."
Naturally, the two of them didn't say much, and Jinzhi left soon after.
Chen Qing looked at those things and told Chunhua to put them away. Fangyun was still wondering, "It's too late for the Queen to send something to keep warm."
The Lantern Festival has passed, and no matter how cold it gets, it won’t last much longer. Why are you sending us cold-weather gifts only after the coldest time has passed?
When Shen Qing saw it, he just said calmly: "How can this be a gift to me?"
Fang Yun didn't understand what was said.
What Shen Qing could see was not unnoticed by others. Concubine Yu was watching Shen Qing because of her stay in Qianyuan Palace. When she learned that the Queen gave gifts to Shen Qing, she sneered: "The Queen has lost all her dignity now. Didn't she act like a Queen before? Now she wants to use that bitch to please the Emperor. She has thrown away her duty as a Queen to advise. What a good Queen she is."
Although Concubine Yu said this, she was angry and annoyed in her heart. But at this moment, the Third Princess came over, and she calmed down no matter how angry she was.
The third princess looked at the debris all over the ground and seemed a little scared.
Concubine Yu went to glare at Wan Zhao.
Wan Zhao also had his own difficulties. The Third Princess insisted on coming, and he had no choice. Concubine Yu seemed to be protecting the Third Princess with her eyes. If he made her cry, wouldn't he be in trouble?
Concubine Yu was reluctant to let her daughter stay here, so she reached out and pulled the third princess out. As she was pulling her out, she heard the third princess ask, "Does mother miss father?"
