Chapter 213: Struck by Thunder
After Xuanyuan Ling left Qingyun Palace, Zhao Hai asked, "Your Majesty, are you going back to the Imperial Study?"
Xuanyuan Ling looked at Zhao Hai and knew that he asked this on purpose: "Go to Zhaohua Palace."
Zhao Hai felt that the emperor was not willing to return to the imperial study at the moment, so he asked this question just to confirm it.
So Xuanyuan Ling set out for Zhaohua Palace.
When Xuanyuan Ling arrived, the first person he greeted was Wang Lu. Chen Qing was in the room at the moment. Xuanyuan Ling saw Wang Lu Suiri and asked, "Your queen today..."
Having said this, he couldn't go on.
Wang Lu also knew that Chu Linglong was pregnant, so he understood: "The queen hasn't had lunch yet."
"Why haven't you had lunch yet at this hour?" Xuanyuan Ling asked, "Is it because the imperial kitchen didn't serve you well?"
Wang Lu didn't dare to answer this.
Xuanyuan Ling actually had her own answer in her heart. The imperial kitchen had given her instructions so many times, so they wouldn't dare fail to take good care of her, right? So she didn't eat lunch, maybe because she was upset.
Thinking of this, he stepped inside.
Chen Qing is doing aerobics right now, really the kind of sports aerobics. She got heatstroke and had a fever when she was exercising outside that day, which made her feel that her health was too poor. After that, she planned to exercise. It was too hot to exercise outside, so it would be good to do some aerobics inside.
So Xuanyuan Ling came in and saw Shen Qing jumping around strangely.
He was stunned for a moment.
Chunhua was serving by the side. She was the first to notice Xuanyuan Ling coming and hurriedly saluted. Chen Qing naturally reacted and raised her eyes to look at Xuanyuan Ling. She had just been exercising and was a little out of breath after taking a break.
"What are you doing?" Xuanyuan Ling asked first.
Chunhua naturally followed Zhao Hai and retreated. It was the old rule.
Shen Qing told the truth: "I feel weak, so I exercise more. Didn't the emperor ask me to exercise more before?"
He told her to be more active so that she could take care of her body and have a baby. Did she know that?
Or, was she actually thinking about taking good care of herself? She was clearly very reluctant to exercise more before, but now that she heard that Yi Meiren was pregnant, she started exercising without him telling her to.
Xuanyuan Ling's already twisted heart became even more twisted, and he couldn't be happy for a while.
Shen Qing felt that there was something wrong with that expression. He had never heard of a big problem in the court that could not be solved. How could Xuanyuan Ling be like this? If there was anything, the only thing was that Chu Linglong was pregnant. Chu Linglong's pregnancy was a happy event. How could he be unhappy? He didn't hate Chu Linglong.
The original Butterfly is like this, it can only be said that his feelings for Chu Linglong are different from the original, but from Shen Qing's perspective, Xuanyuan Ling's first impression of Chu Linglong should be quite good, right? After all, he saved the third princess.
Is there any other reason? Shen Qing wanted to know.
So Shen Qing walked up to Xuanyuan Ling and suddenly reached out to pull Xuanyuan Ling's sleeve.
She used to love doing this little action when she was acting coquettish.
"What?" This question was asked in a particularly gentle voice.
Shen Qing said: "I just feel that the emperor seems to have something bothering him. I don't understand what's going on in the court, but if the emperor is unhappy, I've read a few good booklets and will tell him about it."
Xuanyuan Ling really made her feel like her heart was twisted. How could she be so sensible? It was destined that he was thinking about her like this. She cared about him so much that she could even see through his emotions. She hadn't even had lunch yet, but she was already thinking about coaxing him.
Xuanyuan Ling almost sighed, and he hugged her and kissed her forehead, and then he said: "I am hungry, please serve me a meal."
Shen Qing didn't quite believe it. She didn't eat lunch at this time because she overslept in the morning and got up late, and then ate late, so she didn't feel hungry. Xuanyuan Ling, an emperor, had to attend the morning court. He had breakfast early, which meant that lunch would not be delayed, otherwise he would be hungry. How could the emperor be hungry? Impossible.
So this was a deliberate attempt to get her to eat lunch? Was it to coax her like this?
Wait a minute, Shen Qing suddenly realized, why is he coaxing her like this? Isn't Chu Linglong pregnant? After all, Shen Qing himself has shown that he cares a lot about the women in the harem. Now he is not here to comfort her out of guilt, right?
In fact, this is not what she cares about, but the fact that he has such an idea shows that he cares about her very much.
Shen Qing didn't dare to believe it. When Xuanyuan Ling deliberately irritated her and made her angry and make a fuss, she actually didn't react. He felt that Xuanyuan Ling felt guilty about favoring someone else. At that time, she thought that Xuanyuan Ling was stupid and had to irritate her and make her angry. Is it fun to tease people?
This time she suddenly realized it. While she found it unbelievable, she really thought in her heart... Could he actually feel sorry for her?
As an emperor, why would he feel sorry for someone he favored and made her pregnant? It was only natural.
Chen Qing was a little complicated. Sometimes you could really feel whether the feelings had deepened or not. Xuanyuan Ling really doted on her and was becoming less and less tempered with her. Now he even felt sorry for her for getting her pregnant.
The fact that he felt guilty was a good thing for Shen Qing's future life. It showed that he was really getting deeper and deeper into trouble. However, Shen Qing was more apologetic to him than before.
She chose to deceive his feelings in this way in the first place to survive in the harem. Now he, an emperor, feels guilty for asking his concubine to get pregnant. It's unreasonable, but can he taste some sincerity in it?
Therefore, Xuanyuan Ling had complicated thoughts before, and Shen Qing also had complicated thoughts now.
It's like a man cheated an innocent girl for money for some purpose, but the girl didn't feel cheated and was willing to give him more money. It was so complicated. I felt stupid, but also felt like I would be struck by lightning if I continued to cheat him.
Of course, Xuanyuan Ling is not some innocent girl who was deceived. He is the emperor, who can kill you at any time. Moreover, he feels guilty, but he can still favor his concubines. Maybe he will get used to not feeling guilty after a while? So the complexity is only complicated for a moment. What else can he do? Just continue to lie.
However, when Shen Qing rarely noticed that Xuanyuan Ling really wanted to coax her, she still felt very reluctant.
Lunch came soon. Usually, Shen Qing would ask Xuanyuan Ling to eat what she liked and pick more dishes for him. But today, she didn't touch it at all and just ate her own food obediently.
Xuanyuan Ling knew at a glance that Chen Qing was considerate of her. She was smart. Did she realize that he had already had his meal?
He wanted to coax people, but was coaxed by Shen Qing in return. It was really true, how could she be so good? Xuanyuan Ling looked at her eating silently and simply put down his chopsticks, and then went to look at her. As he looked at her, he suddenly said: "I will make you a concubine."
