Chapter 23 Dragon Boat Festival
Shen Qing saw that it was okay, at least for the time being he would not vent his anger on her.
It was obvious that she was angry and was looking for fun. If I hadn't coaxed her, I'm afraid she would have been tortured in bed.
That was just the lightest punishment. If she really failed to coax him back this time, the possibility of her becoming a tool for him to vent his sexual desires when he was in a bad mood in the future would increase.
If he succeeds this time, and Xuanyuan Ling comes to her to vent his anger whenever he's in a bad mood, will she still want to live?
There was no way Shen Qing would let this happen.
She would not let herself fall into such a situation.
Chen Qing successfully saved herself, and everything went much more smoothly afterwards. She had dinner when it was time to have dinner, and acted coquettishly when it was time to act coquettishly. When they got to the bed, Xuanyuan Ling was gentle with her for once.
Chen Qing still felt a little strange in her heart. This time she didn't beg for mercy, and Xuanyuan Ling was not as reckless as before. He even considered her feelings. Chen Qing was quite flattered.
Did this big pig's hoof change his personality?
In fact, Xuanyuan Ling thought she was lovely, and because of Shen Qing's prank, he suddenly felt that Shen Qing was just a little girl.
Thinking about how I came here in a rage today, after being comforted by her, I intentionally wanted to be nicer to her, and naturally became gentler.
Compared with the previous big opening and closing, this gentleness has its own gentle fun. Xuanyuan Ling had a new experience and it felt good. Afterwards he even hugged the person for a while to be tender.
He had never felt this way before, so he turned around and kissed her lightly on her red lips. The feeling was extremely comfortable.
Any hidden displeasure in my heart disappeared completely at this moment.
This kind of tenderness was beyond Shen Qing's expectations.
Chen Qing was curious about what Xuanyuan Ling had experienced before coming to Zhaohua Palace.
It's tiring to say the least. Logically, Shen Qing, who holds the script, should know the hero's character very well, but the hero in the original novel is really mysterious and reveals the aura of a tool man. The perspective is all on the heroine, Chu Linglong. Throughout the text, the emperor is tossing around among the concubines. If something happens today, he shows up, and if something happens tomorrow, he will deal with someone. The relationship between him and the heroine in the early stage was also overturned by the heroine herself in the later stage, who felt that the emperor was just trying her out because he thought she was new.
Therefore, the emperor throughout the text gives people the stereotyped image of a cunning and scumbag emperor, who is nothing more than a tool.
But when you read the article, you can treat him as a tool. Shen Qing gets along with him seriously, so you can't just treat him as a tool.
As soon as Xuanyuan Ling left the next day, Chen Qing asked Chunhua to find out why Xuanyuan Ling was in such a bad mood.
She managed to coax him back this time, but that doesn't happen every time. If she knew why Xuanyuan Ling was in a bad mood, she would naturally be more cautious in the future.
Chunhua naturally did not ask on purpose, she just pretended to ask casually, saying that the emperor looked scary when he came to Zhaohua Palace yesterday. This kind of topic that palace maids and eunuchs often talk about in private did not attract much attention.
Not to mention, isn't Chen Liangren still in favor in Zhaohua Palace? If Chunhua wants to inquire about it, the subordinates are also smart and can flatter her.
Chunhua then told Chen Qing the news she had heard.
"It is said that the Emperor did not even turn over the name card after the Empress Dowager went to look for him. He was in a bad mood when he went to the Empress on the fifteenth day. Before coming to my dear yesterday, the Emperor even went to Concubine Shun to see the eldest prince."
"Since you went to see the child, why are you in a bad mood after seeing him?"
Chunhua said: "People in Concubine Shun's palace were probably ordered not to discuss this matter, so no one spread the news of what happened, but Concubine Shun did call the imperial physician later."
Shen Qing raised an eyebrow when he heard it.
The imperial physician wouldn't be called for no reason. So Xuanyuan Ling was angry because the eldest prince was sick?
No, and there wouldn't be any such thing. If the eldest prince was ill, there would have been news about it, and Xuanyuan Ling would have been asked to go over and see him long ago. And if Shunpin didn't take good care of the child, Xuanyuan Ling could of course punish her openly, and it wasn't like there was no news at all. There was no reason that couldn't be said that made Xuanyuan Ling angry.
In the original novel, the empress dowager had no role, at least not after the heroine appeared, so Shen Qing was not familiar with the empress dowager. But seeing that she actually had to control things like who the emperor asked to sleep with him, it seemed that she was not very content.
Xuanyuan Ling is the emperor now, and she still does this. Then when she was not the emperor, she would have controlled him even more.
Suppose that Xuanyuan Ling never felt any maternal love since childhood, and was only instigated by the empress dowager to fight for imperial power. It would have been bad enough that he had no freedom in his childhood, but the empress dowager also arranged for him to marry the daughter of the empress dowager's family, who was also the queen. Now that he has become the emperor, he still asks the empress dowager to control who he sleeps with in the harem. It is normal for Xuanyuan Ling to have some emotions.
So putting all these things together, the truth might be that the empress dowager asked the emperor to sleep with the queen, and the emperor was in a bad mood. But Xuanyuan Ling was a very disciplined person after all, and he spent the night with the queen according to the rules, which made him even more upset. He wanted to go see the child to ease his mood, but maybe the eldest prince was sick, and Shunpin asked the child to behave in front of Xuanyuan Ling or something else, which made Xuanyuan Ling even more angry.
Shen Qing thought about the clues in the original text describing the emperor, and felt that she might have guessed the truth. If so, it was no wonder that the emperor asked her to coax him so quickly later.
She was talking about the happy times she and her father had.
Actually, the original intention was to use Xuanyuan Ling's naughty behavior to make Xuanyuan Ling happy, but I didn't expect to hit the mark by accident.
At this point, Shen Qing suddenly understood why Xuanyuan Ling was so contradictory.
He himself was a rule-abiding person, but he couldn't stand others being too rule-abiding, so that day he liked to watch her play shuttlecock, but he had to put on an angry look.
Shen Qing figured this out and thought to herself what an awkward man.
No wonder he pretended like that in the beginning.
When Shen Qing first slept with him, she thought he was pretending. This shows that all people with some psychological problems that are directly reflected in their personality did not have an ideal childhood.
The incident just passed without any commotion in the harem. The queen remained as dignified as ever, as if she was not affected at all. Soon the Dragon Boat Festival arrived.
According to the rules, the palace also has to celebrate a festival, but the Dragon Boat Festival is not a big day like the Spring Festival or birthday celebrations, so it is not grand. At most, the emperor and his concubines will get together to enjoy the festive atmosphere.
Chen Qing got a new dress from the queen. With the idea of showing the queen that she was obedient, she wore this very eye-catching dress to attend the Dragon Boat Festival banquet.
This outfit is a bit eye-catching, and Shen Qing was very low-key before, so it looks even more eye-catching now.
Concubine Yu's eyes drifted to Shen Qing again.
