Chapter 262 Departure
When Xuanyuan Ling came, Shen Qing was embroidering. She actually rarely did this kind of thing because she thought it would strain her eyes, but it was always good to use it to kill time quietly occasionally.
Shen Qing saw Xuanyuan Ling coming over and said, "Your Majesty, wait a moment, there is still a little more to go before the embroidery is finished."
It became more and more natural, and when I asked him to wait, he actually accepted it smoothly.
Xuanyuan Ling leaned over to take a look, and sure enough, there was still some finishing touches, so he sat down beside her and picked up the tea she was drinking and drank it all day.
So when Zhao Hai brought the tea server in, he saw Xuanyuan Ling was already drinking. It was obvious who he was drinking for: "..."
He silently asked the man to put it down, and then quickly led the man out.
Shen Qing didn't notice this. She was indeed finishing it, but it was quite fast. She finished the embroidery in a short while. When she finished, she saw Xuanyuan Ling holding her tea, so she simply took the tea that Zhao Hai had just brought over, and the two of them took turns drinking each other's tea.
After drinking the Japanese tea to moisten his throat, Shen Qing showed the orchid he had just embroidered to Xuanyuan Ling with a sense of accomplishment: "How is the embroidery?"
Xuanyuan Ling took one look and teased her, "I remember the first time I saw you embroidering mandarin ducks, I suddenly thought they were ducks. Your skills have indeed improved a lot now. However, you said you would give it to me, but three years have passed and you haven't embroidered it yet. You are really lazy."
She also said: "Your Majesty has never thought that the things I embroidered are good."
Have you ever seen someone like that without complaining?
Xuanyuan Ling smiled: "I confiscated it?"
Didn't he still accept the purse that she embroidered poorly?
Shen Qing snorted: "That's because there's silver in it."
"I need this purse of money from you?"
Shen Qing stretched out her hand: "Then Your Majesty, give it back to me."
Making trouble again.
Xuanyuan Ling laughed angrily and slapped her hand when he saw it: "You want to take it back? Aren't you embarrassed?"
"Who made the emperor dislike the things I embroidered?"
The vindictive little thing couldn't help himself and looked at her unhappily.
Chen Qing made him laugh and threw herself into his arms. Xuanyuan Ling bit her lips unhappily and then said, "The tour will take five months. With your body, I want you to go, but I'm afraid you'll get sick on the road."
This worry was real. In fact, Shen Qing was not weak, but he still remembered the times she was sick, and she had a delicate personality, so he always thought about her more.
Shen Qing heard him say that, so she deliberately said sourly: "Since the emperor said so, could it be that he is not going to take me with him? Yes, the emperor might be tired of staying with me all the time. If he takes others with him on the way, maybe the officials below will also show their respect to the emperor and give him a taste of the new things."
What does this have to do with anything?
"You little jealous girl." Xuanyuan Ling laughed and hugged her tighter.
"Then Your Majesty, would you like to take me with you?"
He asked with a stern face, but Xuanyuan Ling was stunned and laughed. He originally wanted to just say, "Of course I'll take you there," but he still had to show off a bit, right?
"What do you think?"
Chen Qing chuckled: "Then I won't go." She was very happy to be naughty.
Xuanyuan Ling glared at her, how dare you!
Seeing him like that, Shen Qing really laughed: "How can I not go?" She held Xuanyuan Ling's face: "If I don't go, the emperor is so handsome that he will definitely be targeted. I am worried that the emperor will attract bees and butterflies outside. If he comes back with a lot of new people, I am afraid that I, an old lover, will cry and faint."
This tone was so pretentious that it sounded like opera.
I can also kiss you for two days to express my sincerity, with a look on my face, look, how much I miss you.
Xuanyuan Ling made her laugh. Really, he dared to say such a thing. He was doing it on purpose. She wanted to hear nice words, so how could he not coax her?
Leaning over to kiss her, he looked at her with a smile: "Who can compare to you?"
Shen Qing took it for granted: “Of course, no one can compare to that.”
Really, so righteous.
Xuanyuan Ling smiled again. With such a precious baby in his arms, how could he not be in a good mood every day?
Xuanyuan Ling had actually already decided on the people who would be on the tour out of the palace. Of course, when leaving the palace, one naturally had to bring someone with him, and he couldn't just take one person with him. The first person he decided on was naturally Chen Qing, but apart from Chu Linglong, who had just been conferred the title of noble lady, and Noble Lady Zhou, he really couldn't think of anyone else.
There was no other way. He had selected these newcomers to the palace based on their honesty. Later, when Concubine Wu was demoted to a concubine, no one dared to gather together. In addition, Xuanyuan Ling rarely went to the harem, so this batch had a much lower presence than the batch of beauties that Chen Qing had brought into the palace.
Of course, Xuanyuan Ling couldn't think of any one himself, so he let Defei choose. After all, Defei had to take care of the Third Prince and the affairs of the six palaces, so she couldn't go on this tour. As for the others, as long as they hadn't done anything wrong, Defei looked at Xuanyuan Ling and didn't care, so she casually picked Concubine Ji.
The lucky lady Ji was overjoyed when she heard the news.
As for Chu Linglong and Concubine Zhou who were also named, they both knew that no matter how much the emperor favored Concubine Xi, he would not take her out alone. The emperor had already remembered them both, especially Chu Linglong, who had just been conferred a title of Concubine Zhou, so this decision was not a surprise to them.
Although it is ironic to ask the emperor to remember this reason because there is no royal heir, everyone knows that it is better for the emperor to remember than to forget.
After hearing this, Concubine Zhou subconsciously touched her belly. There were only four people leaving the palace this time. No matter how favored Concubine Xi was, the Emperor was not the only one favored by her. There would always be a chance.
After this matter was settled, they started busy preparing for the matter. Since the trip would take a long time, Chen Qing also had to prepare. Of course, she herself was not busy, but Chunhua and Fangyun were busy. They were really worried about it.
Shen Qing wanted to bring everything she needed. She had to consider the climate and the things she was used to. What if the queen left the palace and missed the things in the palace and couldn't use them? But she couldn't do that. She had to use her own utensils to prevent someone from tampering with them on the way? The queen was favored, so she had to be on guard.
Chen Qing thought that it was always a good thing for them to think about a lot of things, so seeing how busy they were, she gave them some rewards, just as a salary increase for them.
In this lively atmosphere, time passed, and it was almost time to set off.
The night before departure, the moon was dim and the stars were sparse, which showed that the weather would be good the next day.
The emperor's parade was grand, and even though Xuanyuan Ling had said in advance that there was no need to be extravagant, the necessary pomp and circumstance was still there. Shen Qing naturally sat in a carriage, and it was impossible for her to sit with Xuanyuan Ling. However, she had sat in the last carriage during the autumn hunt, and now it was completely different. She was the only concubine accompanying him, and she was sitting in the front.
