Chapter 230 Beauty Sakura
Chu Linglong felt that Xuanyuan Ling was in a bad mood when she heard his tone, but she did not panic and explained honestly: "I like plum blossoms, and I came to Wanmei Garden today to see them."
After a pause, she touched her already bulging belly and said, "The delivery nanny said that I am already three months pregnant and the fetus is stable. It is good for my body to walk a little, and it will also make it easier to give birth in the future."
Zhao Hai thought that this guy was quite smart.
Xuanyuan Ling had also seen how Concubine Li looked when she gave birth to the Fourth Prince, so he believed her statement. After all, Xuanyuan Ling still remembered clearly that Concubine Li did not move or take more supplements, which led to a difficult birth due to the large size of her child.
"Well, you did a good job."
Chu Linglong was still happy when Xuanyuan Ling praised her like this: "I wonder if the emperor is free now. The plum blossoms in Wanmeiyuan are in full bloom."
Xuanyuan Ling was in a bad mood and didn't know where to go for a moment, so he simply got off the sedan chair.
Chu Linglong had just come out when she met him and went in again. The servant inside was just thinking that Lady Yi was pregnant and the child would be raised by the emperor in the future, so he was quite polite to her. Unexpectedly, Lady Yi came with the emperor to appreciate the plum blossoms again.
In this case, she dared not neglect it. Chu Linglong really liked plum blossoms. There were many varieties of plum blossoms in Wanmei Garden, and she knew them all. However, she did not show off. She thought that the emperor was in a bad mood and would not like to listen to other people's nagging, so she was cautious. If Xuanyuan Ling didn't speak, she wouldn't speak either.
Xuanyuan Ling was indeed in a bad mood. He had originally asked someone to carry him for a walk aimlessly. Now, looking at the plum blossoms, he was naturally not happy just because they were blooming beautifully. When he was in a bad mood, he would find any scenery unpleasant to the eye.
As he looked, he saw a clump of five-color plum blossoms growing well. These five-color plum blossoms were out of place in the Wanmei Garden, so Xuanyuan Ling took a closer look.
Chu Linglong chuckled: "I don't know why, but I can still see five-colored plum blossoms here."
Xuanyuan Ling didn't know everything either, so she asked, "Do you know what flower this is?"
"Although the name of this five-color plum tree contains the word plum, it actually looks like a five-color plum tree with grass growing on it, not a plum flower. It actually has another name, called beauty cherry."
Xuanyuan Ling raised an eyebrow, realizing that Chu Linglong really loved flowers. She could talk about any kind of flower in detail. "Have you seen it before?"
Chu Linglong said, "We used to grow them at home. My mother always said that the beauty cherry tree represents a harmonious and happy family, so I love it very much."
She still felt a little nostalgic as she spoke. Staying in this palace, she indeed missed home more and more. However, this beauty cherry actually has another meaning, but Chu Linglong was not sure what it was in front of Xuanyuan Ling.
But no matter whether she could say it or not, Xuanyuan Ling's face didn't look good when he heard it.
When Zhao Hai heard this, his heart skipped a beat. He never expected that he could step on a landmine while looking at a flower. Lady Yi was in trouble.
As expected, Xuanyuan Ling had no interest in appreciating flowers, and he didn't like the five-color plum blossoms very much.
"Where is the manager of Wanmei Garden?"
The manager of Wanmei Garden had been waiting there, but he didn't come out to disturb them because Xuanyuan Ling and Chu Linglong were strolling around.
As soon as Xuanyuan Ling said this, he came out and knelt on the ground: "The servant is here."
"Can't you tell this five-colored plum is not a plum? Dig it up."
The manager was startled and immediately asked people to dig it up.
Chu Linglong never expected that Xuanyuan Ling would actually dig up the flower after hearing what she said. She was not showing off just now. It was Xuanyuan Ling who asked the question himself. As the saying goes, to serve the king is like serving a tiger. She was also at a loss for a moment.
Zhao Hai looked at Chu Linglong's appearance and sighed again, Miss Yi was so unlucky. She still didn't understand the principle that talking too much will lead to mistakes.
Xuanyuan Ling didn't take Chu Linglong lightly after all, she was still pregnant, right? He said calmly: "It's enough to walk for a while, you should rest more, Zhao Hai."
Zhao Hai quickly agreed. It was obvious that the Emperor had no intention of ignoring her when they met. This place was far from Qingyun Palace and she was pregnant. Even if he told her to walk more, he still had to take care of her. Asking someone to prepare the sedan chair was just a matter of giving an order.
Chu Linglong saw that Xuanyuan Ling was in a bad mood before, and now he was even worse. She didn't dare to refute for a moment and naturally agreed.
Xuanyuan Ling was not willing to stay here at the moment, so he turned around and went out.
The imperial carriage got up, but he still didn't know where to go, because Xuanyuan Ling thought about it and realized that he was alone and in a bad mood at the moment, and there was really no place to go except Zhaohua Palace. But he stayed overnight yesterday and saw Chen Qing this morning. It had only been a short time, and he thought of her again.
Not to mention Xuanyuan Ling thinking of Chen Qing, Zhao Hai also remembered that among all the concubines in the palace, only Concubine Xi could comfort the emperor the most.
Just thinking about it, Xuanyuan Ling said, "Let's go back to the imperial study."
Zhao Hai agreed, and then heard Xuanyuan Ling say: "Go ask Concubine Xi what she is doing now?"
Zhao Hai was also puzzled. The emperor himself didn't go, but asked people to find out what Concubine Xi was doing at the moment?
Although he didn't know why, he still sent someone to do it. Zhao Hai was always reliable in doing things, so how could he just ask what he was doing now? He must ask someone to find out everything that Concubine Xi had done since she got up in the morning, right?
The person sent by Zhao Hai was Xiao Xia Zi. Xiao Xia Zi was very respectful to Shen Qing. Xiao Xia Zi did not hide anything and stated her purpose when she arrived at Zhaohua Palace. They could inquire about the matter secretly, but others might not know what status Concubine Xi held in front of the Emperor. How could they, his personal servants, not know?
Of course, I acted like a good kid: "The Emperor is thinking about you, so now he asked me to ask you what you did today."
Chen Qing listened and felt that something was not right. Xuanyuan Ling was now indulging her to a great extent, but it was only in Zhaohua Palace. He was not like this in other places. At this time, he should be reviewing memorials, so how could he have time to think of her?
It’s not like he’d really put aside state affairs for the sake of women.
Chen Qing had a very clear understanding of his position in relation to Xuanyuan Ling. She was a sweet talker when he was upset, and a darling when he was happy. She was a concubine in Zhaohua Palace who could make him relax and was different from other concubines. None of them was the enchanting concubine who made the emperor not want to deal with government affairs.
So it's a bit strange.
"Your Majesty is in a bad mood?"
Xiao Xiazi admired her in her heart. Otherwise, she would say that she was favored. She heard the hidden meaning, didn't she? Shen Qing saw it himself, so Xiao Xiazi revealed a little: "The emperor had dinner in Shouxiang Palace today."
Shen Qing understood immediately. Well, the Queen Mother was doing it again. She knew how to get Xiao Xiazi to reply.
