Chapter 204 This is Being Favored
But I only felt this way for a moment.
Since she didn't die when she was supposed to, and Xuanyuan Ling didn't fall in love at first sight or show any special feelings for Chu Linglong, let's just assume that the original plot doesn't exist. After all, we can't always treat Chu Linglong as a special person, otherwise it's easy to lose basic judgment.
As for the Shura Field, now that she is a concubine and Chu Linglong is a beauty, it is not her turn to be embarrassed in the Shura Field. If there is anyone to be embarrassed, it should be Chu Linglong, right?
Chu Linglong was not actually embarrassed. She heard the conversation between Xuanyuan Ling and Shen Qing just now. She even thought she had heard it wrongly.
Xuanyuan Ling was a majestic emperor in front of her. The first time Chu Linglong saw him was during the talent show. It cannot be said that she met him, but she was chosen. At that time, she felt that this man above everyone else was so high and mighty. Later, she really met Xuanyuan Ling for the first time. It was after she saved the third princess. He came to see her. Although he showed concern, he also acted in a businesslike manner. Later, he slept with her.
Chu Linglong didn't know how it felt for other people to sleep with the emperor, but when it was her turn, she felt a little overwhelmed. Xuanyuan Ling seemed to be more businesslike, which gave Chu Linglong the illusion that the emperor was not keen on this matter and was not interested in women. He just wanted to have more offspring for the royal family.
Chu Linglong knew from the beginning that the emperor was not an ordinary man, and she would not treat him as an ordinary man in her heart, so she did not think there was anything wrong with his attitude.
In fact, she didn't know that this was because of the aftereffects of their first meeting during the Lantern Festival when the butterfly fell off.
Shen Qing didn't even know that Chu Linglong's thoughts about Xuanyuan Ling were very different from the original novel.
In the original novel, Chu Linglong and Xuanyuan Ling met among the people. They became acquainted with each other through guessing lantern riddles and they even had conflicts. Chu Linglong treated Xuanyuan Ling as an ordinary man from the beginning, so that after entering the palace, she could not completely regard him as the almighty emperor.
She gradually developed a vague affection for Xuanyuan Ling. Even though she knew that he was the emperor, she could not use his high position and power to convince herself not to be attracted to this man.
Because of this, the sweetness between the two people can be seen in the early part of the original work.
Of course, this sweetness is only from Chu Linglong’s perspective. After all, in the original novel, Chu Linglong was especially favored when she entered the palace.
It was not until later, when Chu Linglong was framed and fell out of favor, that Xuanyuan Ling withdrew from his favor. Only then did Chu Linglong realize from the increasingly difficult days that what she loved was not an ordinary man, but the almighty emperor. He could control her life and death, the honor and disgrace of her family, and his favor was never love, and he could let go of his hand at will.
It was also from that time that she closed her heart, only becoming skilled in calculations and acting, and no longer putting her true heart into it.
That transformation process is no longer happening.
This process was over, so Chu Linglong had never felt Xuanyuan Ling's specialness towards her. She thought the emperor treated all concubines the same. But now it was clear, she just heard Xuanyuan Ling's concern for Shen Qing.
Xuanyuan Ling originally thought it was not a good idea to see other concubines at this moment, but he noticed that Chen Qing silently put the umbrella he had just put down back and moved back, as if he wished he hadn't seen it.
Xuanyuan Ling glared at her and said, "Put it down for me."
She has also learned to pretend to obey but actually disobey. Does she think that others will not say anything about her when she is around?
Chu Linglong had never seen Xuanyuan Ling speak harshly, but she could tell from the glare he gave her that he was not angry.
Shen Qing reluctantly put down the umbrella again and glanced at the pavilion not far away.
Chu Linglong was sitting in the pavilion just now.
"Your Majesty, may I come in? My feet are sore from walking just now."
Could Xuanyuan Ling believe this? It was such a short distance from Zhaohua Palace to the Imperial Garden, could she be tired from walking? Even if Xuanyuan Ling thought she was delicate, it was impossible. This little thing was just pretending to be pitiful.
And it was just an outsider. If Chu Linglong hadn't been here, would Shen Qing have been able to ask him at this moment? He had already run over and sat down by himself.
In front of outsiders, Shen Qing has always been very knowledgeable about the rules.
Xuanyuan Ling saw through it and wanted to ruthlessly say no, but when he met Chen Qing's watery eyes, he looked away expressionlessly and uttered stiffly: "Just rest for a while."
After saying that, he went over and sat down first.
According to the rules, the concubines can sit down only after the emperor sits down.
Shen Qing naturally went over and sat down at this moment.
Chu Linglong felt that Xuanyuan Ling's words to Shen Qing just now were clearly somewhat helpless. Did she hear it wrong? How could the emperor be helpless with Concubine Xi?
She didn't feel embarrassed just now. Xuanyuan Ling sat down over there, and she didn't know whether she should stay or not. She did feel a little embarrassed.
Xuanyuan Ling had a pretty good impression of Chu Linglong, after all, she had saved the third princess and seemed to be quite well behaved, but at the moment he was with Shen Qing, and he was not too happy about having someone around, he turned around to look at Shen Qing, she was feeling hot at the moment, and didn't even look at Chu Linglong.
Xuanyuan Ling was a little unhappy. She really didn't care about this beautiful lady Yi. It was just a chance encounter. "Leave."
Chu Linglong naturally took her leave.
She slowly walked out with Ming Su, and could vaguely hear Shen Qing talking with Xuan Yuan Ling.
"If you don't want to go out, you can't put so much ice in the house, and the ice watermelon and ice grapes should be reduced by half."
Chu Linglong could not hear what was said afterwards, but this one sentence was enough to make her feel like she was dazzled by the sun.
Is this what it means to be favored?
She asked Concubine Ru to cut her share, not to mention ice watermelons and ice grapes. The room was stuffy and hot, and she didn't sleep well last night. But there was so much ice in Shen Qing's room that even Xuanyuan Ling thought it was too much. The emperor naturally couldn't be short of ice, so it could only be said that Shen Qing really had a lot of ice.
Ming Su was sensitive enough to feel that Chu Linglong was in a bad mood: "Beauty?"
Chu Linglong came to her senses and looked at Ming Su: "It's okay, go back."
Shen Qing felt much better sitting in the pavilion, but looking at the sun outside, Xuanyuan Ling would definitely not let her rest here all the time, so she planned to really popularize some sun protection knowledge, but just as Shen Qing was about to open the sun, Xuanyuan Ling said, "No."
Shen Qing: “…”
"Your Majesty, what did you say?" She hadn't said anything just now.
Xuanyuan Ling still said those two words: "No."
Shen Qing: “…”
Haha, come on, let’s hurt each other!
"I have read in ancient books that if people are exposed to too much sun in the summer, they will age faster and have spots on their faces."
Xuanyuan Ling wanted to say that Shen Qing was talking nonsense, but Shen Qing's next sentence made his face stiffen.
"Your Majesty, your noble and handsome concubine cannot bear to see your handsome face become blemish-prone due to the scorching sun."
Xuanyuan Ling frowned: "Nonsense, do you take such a crooked book seriously?"
"Your Majesty, have you ever seen a military commander who is training outside? Do they look rougher than the civil officials? Are they the same age? They look older than the civil officials?"
Now that you mention it, it seems to be true.
Chen Qing finally said firmly: "So I can't be exposed to the sun like this. It's better in winter. In summer, the emperor can't bear to see my skin exposed to the sun like this, right? I can't bear to see the emperor grow old. The emperor is older than me, so let's go back?"
Xuanyuan Ling probably didn't hear what she said afterwards. He called Chen Qing "The emperor is older than I am" and that hit the nail on the head. What's the matter? If he gets old and ugly, will she still dare to despise him?
