Chapter 267 About the Child
Xuanyuan Ling knew that when he was touring the officials, they might not do something, so they would not just listen to the reports from their subordinates. If he asked more questions and walked around, he would always get some clues. However, he did not get angry on the spot. Now he just pretended not to know and asked. After talking for a while, he looked up and saw Shen Qing coming out.
Opposite her there was a peasant woman, who seemed to be comforting a crying child.
"What's going on?"
The peasant woman opposite was busy trying to comfort the child and for a moment she didn't pay attention to Xuanyuan Ling's crying child.
Shen Qing said: "It's nothing, he ate the cake and wanted more, and he wanted more after he asked for it once, so I didn't give it to him."
Xuanyuan Ling didn't get angry after hearing this description, but she was a little puzzled: "Why not give it to me?" It was just a pastry, and she was not a stingy person.
At this time, the child's father noticed what was going on. The child became much more obedient after seeing his father and gradually stopped crying. The woman then said, "Thank you, Madam. It's because of this child that I spoiled him. It was right for Madam not to give him any cakes. Originally, it was given by Madam with kindness. If Madam had given him more, the child would know that he could get more cakes by crying and making a fuss. He would have to use this trick in the future. I am a soft-hearted person, eh..."
The child's father heard this and said, "It's my fault that I didn't teach this child well, and you guys are making fun of me. Now I can use this incident to teach this brat a lesson."
Xuanyuan Ling doesn't take care of children. The children in the palace are all sensible and there is nothing they can't eat. Therefore, he really doesn't know the tricks here. Hearing this, he smiled and said, "It's just a small matter."
The couple said goodbye, and Xuanyuan Ling smiled and looked back at Shen Qing: "Qingqing, do you still know how to teach children?"
"I don't know." Chen Qing said, "I just feel that I'm not his mother, there's no reason to indulge him. Should I give it to him if he wants it?" Originally, they were just sharing food for fun, she didn't want to make herself angry.
However, the couple are sensible and have simple folk customs.
Xuanyuan Ling's heart moved: "If you were his mother, would you indulge him?"
"have no idea."
Xuanyuan Ling really wanted to know: "If you had a child, how would you teach him?"
Chen Qing couldn't help it, and looked at Xuanyuan Ling unhappily: "How can this be assumed, I... I won't have a child."
Xuanyuan Ling's heart suddenly tightened.
"It's my fault. I shouldn't have brought this up. Let's not talk about it anymore." He reached out to embrace her and even patted her on the back in a soothing manner.
It made Shen Qing feel that he seemed to care about her sadness because of this matter, and now he even cared about whether she would have a child.
Some of the sunlight was revealed unintentionally. He thought to himself that there was naturally no obstruction to the sunlight. She had clearly refused to have a child, and he had also issued an imperial decree himself. Naturally, he would not take someone else's child to raise for her, but he seemed to want her to have a child very much.
The situation is very different now than when he first found out that she was infertile.
He saw her miserable death with his own eyes, but he didn't punish Concubine Yu because she was just a good woman. He didn't care whether she had a child or not.
He really cared so much about it at the beginning. When Concubine Yu hit her, he was furious and punished Concubine Yu without regard to the rules.
Xuanyuan Ling was indeed becoming more and more concerned, but he couldn't say it in front of Shen Qing, so he urged the imperial physician to take care of the patient slowly. He really wanted to give a deadline or else he would ask the imperial physician to bring his head to him, but considering that Shen Qing had done his best, it was not a good idea to do so.
So what can we do with this expectation?
That night, after returning to the palace, the two of them naturally did not go out on the surface. Xuanyuan Ling came again in the evening, and it was obvious that he wanted to stay overnight. Chen Qing thought it was natural and nothing. As a result, Xuanyuan Ling looked like he was taking drugs that night.
Sometimes, Shen Qing could understand that people would get emotional because of something, but today they went out for a walk all day, and she felt very tired when she came back. She thought he should be tired too, but he tossed her over and over again.
Shen Qing was tired and angry, and finally took advantage of the day when she was about to run and asked him to hug her: "Be good, it will be quick."
"Is this the nth time the emperor has said something fast today?" Shen Qing didn't believe him.
"Well, which one?" Xuanyuan Ling rubbed her earlobe with his nose from behind her.
Okay, you can even ask back. I have to say, he is really becoming more and more shameless.
"Scoundrel." Shen Qing was about to struggle.
Xuanyuan Ling's first reaction when he heard this name was not that she was being presumptuous, but that she was really throwing a tantrum. He knew that she was a pure hedonist in this matter. Well, she was more greedy for pleasure than him as an emperor. If she was not served comfortably, she would make a fuss. If she was too comfortable, too much, she would feel tired and unhappy. Didn't he promise to get her consent in the first place? She would not refuse basically, but she would just throw a tantrum. How could he not coax her when she was throwing a tantrum?
"It's true this time, my dear. Be good, I promise." Xuanyuan Ling was helpless. She must be tired after going out today, so she didn't want to make any trouble.
Shen Qing snorted.
After a while, Xuanyuan Ling left Shen Qing, and when he said he was leaving, he hugged her back. Shen Qing said unhappily, "Is the emperor in a bad mood today?"
She noticed that there was something wrong with Xuanyuan Ling.
His pure excitement and his having something on his mind are two different things. Why did he insist on doing it again and again? She didn't believe that he wasn't tired after walking for so long today.
Xuanyuan Ling didn't expect that she could see through it. He paused for a moment and was speechless.
Shen Qing felt angry when she saw him like this. Well, she was right. Was he really in a bad mood and was taking it out on her?
Shen Qing was not happy to stay in his arms.
Xuanyuan Ling hurriedly hugged him again: "Really, you have such a bad temper."
There really was no one who disliked him for such a thing, but the more she disliked him, the more she felt pity for him.
He knew that although she would understand him when he had something on his mind, she would never allow him to vent his emotions in love affairs.
He sighed and told the truth: "I'm not taking it out on you. I'm just thinking about how you haven't been able to have a child, so, in my heart..." There was some regret and guilt.
At the beginning, he was not as protective of her as he is now, so he could ask Concubine Yu to take her away whenever she wanted.
"I did have this thought in my mind just now. If I were to take more care of you, you might get pregnant. That's why I didn't control myself. Did it make you feel uncomfortable?"
His big hand touched her lower abdomen: "Does it hurt?"
Shen Qing was stunned for a moment. He knew that it was difficult for her to have children and it was not a question of how much she did, so why did he still do this?
If it's a question of how much he did, it's not like she doesn't see him once every ten days or half a month. If there was any, it would have happened a long time ago. He is just deceiving himself.
Does he really want a child with her now? She knew that she was special enough in Xuanyuan Ling's heart, but a man wanted a woman's child so urgently. Was he really just moved and loved her so he spoiled her? As he said, he was still young, so he really didn't lack children.
