Chapter 28 No Tact
Shen Qing almost rolled her eyes in her heart. It would have been fine for her to leave on her own, but now that Concubine Lin had arrived, she had to pay her respects to her according to her status.
But since the person is right in front of me, I still have to pretend.
"My dear, how are you? I am familiar with this imperial garden, but the weather is too hot right now. I like to read some medical books, which say that people, especially women, will get tanned easily if they are exposed to the sun too much in the summer, and when they are tanned, they will easily get wrinkles. Therefore, I have not been out for more than half a month."
Concubine Lin had to believe it, Shen Qing's beautiful face was there.
In her opinion, if there wasn't a good way to maintain beauty, she wouldn't be so beautiful, with skin as tender as a peeled egg.
Especially when Chen Qing was talking, Chunhua was smart. She took the opportunity to take out the hidden umbrella and opened it to shade Chen Qing from the sun.
Concubine Lin was shocked.
What woman doesn't love beauty? Concubine Lin immediately lost the desire to go to the Imperial Garden and wanted to go back to the palace. Anyway, this chance encounter with the Emperor would not end after one or two times.
But now Concubine Lin has found a day to borrow money from Chen Qing in the future: "I have heard that my sister is quite knowledgeable about beauty care methods. Today, I heard what my sister said and it is true. I did not bring an umbrella today. I will definitely ask my sister for advice on beauty care methods tomorrow."
This is called sister.
Seeing that there was no one around, Chunhua said to Shen Qing, "This noble lady Lin has only served you twice in bed, and she is not favored. Now she deliberately comes to you, my dear, so she must have some plan."
All ideas in this palace revolve around gaining favor. Concubine Lin is not favored, but Chen Qing is, so there are also ways to step on Chen Qing to share the emperor's favor.
Chunhua was a little worried: "She is still a noble person."
Precisely because he was a noble, even if he knew that the other party approached with this intention, with Shen Qing's status, it was not easy to refuse.
"No problem."
She still has this little confidence. If Xuanyuan Ling came to her and could still be seduced away by Concubine Lin, then she would be incapable of doing so.
Moreover, if Xuanyuan Ling had come to see her seriously but was seduced away by Concubine Lin, he would have been extremely promiscuous. If he was really so promiscuous, Chen Qing would not have to attack his heart. Wouldn't it be enough to just show off her sexuality?
Chen Qing didn't take Lin Guiren seriously, but Lin Guiren took Chen Qing seriously.
The next day, she really came to the door with eager eyes.
"Sister, this palace is really too far away." Going further away would be the cold palace.
Concubine Lin had never been here before, but now she felt it was amazing. She could be favored even though she lived in such a remote place. Of course it was because of her looks.
"After listening to what my sister said yesterday, I deeply felt that what she said made sense, so I came here today to seek advice." Concubine Lin looked like she was humbly seeking advice.
"Please have some tea, my lady." Fang Yun then served tea to Lady Lin.
Lady Lin drank tea for the whole day and then went to look at Chen Qing eagerly.
Chen Qing smiled at Concubine Lin: "What are you talking about, Chunhua, get the prescription and give it to you."
Chunhua immediately handed the prescription to Concubine Lin.
Lin Guiren thought that Shen Qing would not give it to her so quickly, but she didn't expect that after taking a look, she found that it was quite complete.
Looking at Shen Qing's face, there was no reluctance at all. Was this prepared in advance?
Lin Guiren only realized something at this moment. Could it be that Chen Liangren knew what she was going to do and was sending her away quickly?
I suddenly felt embarrassed.
She did it on her own, but it would be another matter if she was exposed by others. Chen Qing came from a humble family, and Concubine Lin felt that her status was higher than Chen Qing's, but now she had to rely on Chen Qing's favor. In her heart, she wanted to rely on the favor, but also planned to leave quickly.
What a coincidence, Xuanyuan Ling is here.
When Xuanyuan Ling came, he didn't expect to see anyone else. In the past, he never asked anyone to inform Shen Qing when he came here, but today he saw Concubine Lin.
To Xuanyuan Ling, this Concubine Lin was not much different from Concubine Wang. He did not have a deep impression of her after sleeping with her twice, so he only knew that she was his woman and could not remember who she was for a moment.
But when Xuanyuan Ling came, they all had to bow. It was okay if Xuanyuan Ling didn't remember. He just said, "Everyone, get up."
He was not familiar with Concubine Lin, but she was here after all, so Xuanyuan Ling naturally spoke too intimately to Shen Qing.
Xuanyuan Ling actually agreed in his heart. What he and Shen Qing said were private matters. It was not good for outsiders to hear them, nor for others to see them.
So Xuanyuan Ling asked first: "Why is it that I rarely see you have guests today?"
"Your Majesty, Lady Lin heard that I have some insights into beauty care, so she came here today to discuss with me how to care for women's skin."
"Oh? I remember that you also like to read medical books." She still wanted to treat her mother's illness at home.
"Yes, I have thought of many ways to improve my beauty."
Since Xuanyuan Ling came, Concubine Lin didn't know what to say. She had wanted to show up in front of the emperor more often, but now she really couldn't say a word.
Finally, at this time, she said, "Sister is very generous. She even specially copied the recipe for me."
Um
Xuanyuan Ling's thanks were over.
If Concubine Lin was a smart person, she would have said goodbye by now. After all, this is Zhaohua Palace.
But she was nervous at the moment and didn't pay attention, and continued to talk a lot.
Finally, he concluded: "Yesterday, my sister said that my skin has darkened and aged easily due to too much sun exposure. I will definitely use this recipe well."
Xuanyuan Ling was silent.
Are there any concubines in this harem who are so tactless?
Shen Qing didn't say anything.
Concubine Lin just kept trying to find topics to talk about.
Xuanyuan Ling's face became more and more gloomy. He turned back to look at Shen Qing, and seeing that she was indifferent, he finally couldn't bear it anymore and said, "I have something else to do."
Then he left.
After Xuanyuan Ling left, Concubine Lin felt relieved and at the same time very happy. She had actually talked to the emperor for such a long time. This time, the emperor would definitely remember her.
She was originally embarrassed and wanted to leave, but fortunately she didn't leave. However, since the emperor had left, she didn't want to stay and said goodbye immediately.
"My dear, this Concubine Lin is really too infuriating. The Emperor came to see you, and it's obvious, but she has taken over the Emperor's place to such an extent."
Fangyun was watching from the side, and she also heard from Chunhua about what Concubine Lin said yesterday.
I'm so angry.
Shen Qing just smiled and said, "I think the emperor must remember her."
But remembering the good things about people and remembering the bad things about them are two different things.
Chunhua understood what Shen Qing meant and smiled, but said, "Your Majesty won't be angry, will you? Will this implicate my beloved?"
