Chapter 189 Thoughts
Of course, the inspection only took a moment. Chu Linglong wanted to salute, but her hands were obviously not very convenient. Xuanyuan Ling looked at her and said, "No need. You have made great contributions in saving the third princess, and you were injured because of it. Take a good rest."
"Thank you for your concern, Your Majesty." Chu Linglong was not shy. She behaved very generously and appropriately.
Ming Su had already served tea at this time, but Chu Linglong was new to the palace after all, and there was nothing good in it. Xuanyuan Ling refused to drink the tea, but Chu Linglong saved the third princess, so she had to be rewarded and given a reward. He also said a few words of concern for her.
Xuanyuan Ling had seen it, shown concern, and asked someone to reward it, so the matter was over.
Chu Linglong wanted to see him off, but he told her to take a rest and not to do so.
When he went out, he met Concubine Ru again.
Xuanyuan Ling: “…”
Zhao Hai was silent. Even if Concubine Ru had not slept with the Emperor for a long time and was missing him, it was too obvious. The Emperor had clearly come here just to see Concubine Yi today. Why did he appear so many times? Was he trying to curry favor or to annoy the Emperor?
Concubine Ru really didn't expect this. She had been out of favor for a long time and hadn't seen Xuanyuan Ling for too long. She knew that the emperor was annoyed, but it wouldn't matter if she didn't come to see him off now, right?
Xuanyuan Ling saw that she didn't have any other intentions, so he temporarily put away his displeasure. She looked a bit pitiful coming towards him like this.
However, Concubine Ru is different from Concubine Yu. Concubine Yu is domineering on the surface, but Concubine Ru likes to stir up trouble secretly, so she has been out of favor for a long time.
Now, even though he felt sorry for her, he no longer had the desire to restore her favor.
Concubine Ru just sent Xuanyuan Ling out, and pursed her lips as she watched Xuanyuan Ling get on the imperial sedan and drive away.
She had been out of favor for a long time, and she didn't even have the qualifications to send Xuanyuan Ling off in the past. Now Xuanyuan Ling came to her palace, it was all for her.
"My lady, Miss Yi's place..."
Concubine Ru said, "The Emperor has come to see her, what else can I do? Give her a reward."
The servants understood what was meant. Of course, they could only reward her. Ever since Concubine Ru fell out of favor, people in their palace have been very cold. If Concubine Ru had not been a concubine, others would not dare to act rashly. Who knows what kind of life she is leading. The Concubine Wang who moved in before was not very good and was disliked by everyone.
Now Lady Yi is lucky. After saving the third princess, the emperor remembered to visit her, so she couldn't neglect him.
But she was also holding a grudge in her heart. If Concubine Yi could gain favor in the future and the Emperor could come often, she would be unhappy about taking advantage of Concubine Yi. But if Concubine Yi did not live up to her expectations and fell out of favor in the future, she would definitely be disgusted.
The Queen was also surprised to hear this. The newcomer to the palace, Concubine Yi, was the most beautiful. Now it seems that she has left a good impression on the Emperor and may not lose his favor in the future.
The emperor gave rewards, so she followed suit.
For a time, Chu Linglong had just entered the palace and had already been rewarded by the Emperor and the Empress before she even had time to sleep with them. When Concubine Yu found out, she didn't say anything. After all, she had saved the third princess, so she rewarded her anyway.
There are many people in the harem who watch the wind. Although Chen Qing is favored on the surface, people dare not act rashly, but many newcomers to the palace also want to curry favor with him. Now, this Concubine Yi has made people take notice.
The news that Xuanyuan Ling had gone to see Chu Linglong naturally reached Shen Qing's ears. It was Chunhua who passed the news, but although Chunhua passed the news, she also had to take Shen Qing's emotions into consideration. She said, "The emperor only stayed for a while and then came out."
The reward was fine, but it was different after the emperor went to see her in person.
Shen Qing could tell that this was Chunhua trying to comfort her.
At the beginning, she acted strangely before Chu Linglong entered the palace, which was misinterpreted by them as her deep love for Xuanyuan Ling and her concern for the newcomer entering the palace.
Shen Qing naturally would not clarify this misunderstanding. She listened to Chunhua's words and said calmly, "I went to see her today. Remember her kindness. She will naturally turn over the card tomorrow. There is nothing we can do about it."
In fact, if the emperor did not favor her so much, Chunhua would be fine, but this newcomer entered the palace and snatched the empress's favor. Before, the emperor was paying attention to Chen Qing, and the emperor had always been focusing on Zhaohua Palace, so Chunhua didn't think much of it. But when she really went to another palace, Chunhua felt sad for Chen Qing.
Chen Qing saw Chunhua was relieved earlier, and now he smiled at her uncomfortable look.
In fact, Chu Linglong’s current situation may not be good. She has just entered the palace and has no foundation. Now that she is so conspicuous, she is probably becoming more alert and cautious, right?
After all, Shen Qing had read the original novel and didn’t think Chu Linglong was a brainless person.
Chu Linglong has indeed become more cautious. The rewards are too many, but she cannot refuse to accept them. However, she has to tell everyone around her to be cautious. The more attention they attract, the easier it is to make mistakes. Only by keeping a low profile can they succeed in the long run.
So, on the pretext that her injuries had not yet healed, she closed the door and refused to see visitors.
Lady Zhou, who had been friends with her before, did not come either.
After seeing Chu Linglong, Xuanyuan Ling went to handle government affairs. There were many things to do in the early spring. At night, Wang De brought the green card again. Today, he did not turn over anyone and just rested in Qianyuan Palace.
But he didn't know whether he asked Shen Qing to stay overnight, but he couldn't help thinking of Shen Qing that night.
He had always slept alone in Qianyuan Palace, and was used to sleeping with Chen Qing when he went to Zhaohua Palace. But now that Chen Qing stayed overnight in Qianyuan Palace, Xuanyuan Ling was thinking about the cute look of Chen Qing in his arms when he woke up in the morning.
When he woke up the next day, he still remembered this incident, so he gave the painting that he had finished but had not yet sent out to Zhao Hai: "Send it to Zhaohua Palace."
Zhao Hai naturally noticed that Xuanyuan Ling was painting in his spare time. The emperor rarely rested in the imperial study, and this painting really took a lot of effort. He thought that the emperor just wanted to relax, but he didn't expect that he wanted to send it to Zhaohua Palace.
Actually, Xuanyuan Ling had been thinking about painting since last year when Shen Qing had his birthday, but it was too late at that time. In a hurry, he could only give some pearls, jade and other things, and Yunjin...
Yes, Chen Qing used that Yunjin to make underwear.
Thinking that the weather will get hot in a few months, the little girl will be afraid of the heat again and will have to wear this little dress again.
Xuanyuan Ling's thoughts were a little off track for a moment.
Zhao Hai did not dare to neglect it and personally delivered the painting to Shen Qing.
When Shen Qing saw Zhao Hai sending a reward, his first reaction was actually a bit strange, especially when Zhao Hai only sent a painting.
Zhao Hai was afraid that Shen Qing didn't know how to put this thing in the warehouse, then he would mess up his job. Could he mess it up?
So Zhao Hai immediately told the emperor how he had started painting this picture in June last year, and it had lasted for several months, how long it took to finish, and now he was eagerly asking him to send it over, and also expressed the main idea of 'Look, this is a token of his love, your majesty, you are really favored'.
