Chapter 295 Flipping the Cards
Xuanyuan Ling thought it didn't matter, but when it came to the talent show, he didn't just think of Taihou. It was Cuiyun's arrival that reminded Xuanyuan Ling of her.
Xuanyuan Ling was still thinking about Chen Qing in this matter. He had gone through the same mental journey during the last talent show and felt guilty at that time. Although the concubines in the harem were not kept as decoration later, now he thought that Chen Qing had revealed before that she was too jealous. She might not like the ones who were there before, so it would be strange if she didn't mind the new ones.
I originally promised not to let her worry when she was pregnant, but now I'm thinking, let alone the fact that she's pregnant, I'm afraid she'll feel bad now that she knows about the talent show, right?
I was thinking about it from the beginning, and now, I don't want to let her care so much.
Xuanyuan Ling sighed, it really was true what he said, he didn't know what to do with Chen Qing.
To be honest, he didn't really care about who would be the new entrants into the palace. The only time in his life that he chose someone to enter the palace because of her good looks was Chen Qing. He really didn't think that there would be anyone in the future who he would be able to choose over Chen Qing at first sight, no matter how good-looking the person was. He had such a feeling in his heart, and it was not just because of beauty.
Xuanyuan Ling was actually not very obsessed with women. Of course, this was before he met Chen Qing. He was indeed not that obsessed. His purpose of going to the harem and turning over cards was very simple, which was to expand his family and meet personal needs.
Now I am thinking about this person in my heart, and I am thinking about him more and more.
But since she is so nice, naturally people will think of her.
"What is Concubine Xi doing now?"
Zhao Hai was watching Xuanyuan Ling sighing, thinking that the Emperor was thinking about whether the Queen Mother would cause trouble during the selection, but he suddenly turned the topic to Concubine Xi.
And at this moment, he really didn't know.
"Your Majesty, please forgive me."
Xuanyuan Ling glared at him.
Zhao Hai felt wronged. He was the emperor's closest servant, but he didn't have the foresight to know what Concubine Xi was doing at the moment.
Xuanyuan Ling just glared at him and then fell into his own thoughts again.
He wondered whether he should tell her about this. It had only been a short time since she returned to the palace, and she probably wouldn't remember about the beauty pageant for a while.
The memorial has just been placed with him and has not been circulated yet.
But when he thought about it, he felt guilty. What was going on? He was selecting a show, hiding it from his mother at home like a tigress, not daring to let her know or something?
Chen Qing is not a tigress, nor is he a coward who is afraid of his own wife. He just wants her to know it later so that she won't worry about it for a few days to avoid being sad.
The late emperor was still selecting beauties when he was in his forties, and he is not even thirty yet.
As an emperor, he has few sons. The oldest is the eldest prince, who is almost eleven years old. In fact, you can tell what kind of person he is. As far as Xuanyuan Ling thinks, he is just a man who likes to get things done. He just seems to be obedient, but nothing else can be seen. The third prince and the fourth prince are still young, one is four years old and the other is three years old. The third prince has begun to understand and seems to be quite smart. The fourth prince has started to talk, but he doesn't seem as smart as the third prince.
After looking around, it turned out that only the third prince seemed to be smart, but he is only four years old and needs to be watched for a few more years.
As an emperor, Xuanyuan Ling has to worry about more than just state affairs.
Xuanyuan Ling had never felt so annoyed by the talent show. He was annoyed last time and he was annoyed this time as well. However, if he was not selected, it would be unacceptable for him to have few offspring. He did not think about this issue last year, but he did not expect that he would be more and more unhappy with the harem now.
As an emperor, how could he worry about having few offspring?
I originally wanted to meet Shen Qing, but what should I say to her? Is it necessary to hold a selection or are there too few princes in the harem?
Xuanyuan Ling frowned and flipped the card that night.
Chen Qing knew about Xuanyuan Ling's selection that day. In fact, she knew about it about the same time when Jingshifang notified her. Now she has a lot of eyes in the harem.
After knowing this, she paused and asked, "Is it Lady Ji's card that was turned over?"
This beauty Ji followed the parade all the way, but Xuanyuan Ling never looked for her at all. But when he returned to the palace, he turned over her card?
Chen Qing felt that she couldn't understand Xuanyuan Ling anymore, because now all the concubines in the palace were waiting for him to come back and flip the cards.
Those who had gone out on the tour with him returned to the palace. It's not that they can't sleep with him, but they just want to show their respect to the other concubines in the harem. He hasn't been back for so long. If he really wants to draw the cards, he should choose those who stayed in the palace first, right?
This is not a rule, but it is also a way to comfort the concubines who stayed behind. After all, they are all his women, right?
In the past, Xuanyuan Ling was very normal in this regard. Even before, other people in the harem would take turns twice a month, and he would choose different people each time, one by one.
Xuanyuan Ling, the master of keeping balance, is no longer keeping balance?
In fact, only Shen Qing said that he was holding water, but in fact, he never held water in front of her. She really misunderstood Xuanyuan Ling. He flipped the cards casually today because he never looked for Lady Ji during the parade and he had forgotten about this person.
Lady Ji didn't know what to say when her name was called out. She was the first one to be called out after going out on a parade. People who didn't know her would think that she had become favored because of her trip out.
How can she be favored? She has never served the emperor in bed since she went out.
In the end, many people didn't understand Xuanyuan Ling's actions.
After Shen Qing was surprised, because it was not a big deal, she put it out of her mind.
After the card was turned over this time, Xuanyuan Ling didn't come to the harem for three days.
However, Miss Ji actually came to visit Zhaohua Palace the next day.
Shen Qing was eating snacks when Wang Lu reported. He raised his eyebrows after hearing the report: "Let her come in."
"Greetings to Her Majesty." Lady Ji bowed politely.
Shen Qing called out, “Sit down.”
Lady Ji was a little nervous before she came, but now that she sees Chen Qing looking at her normally and not bothered by her sleeping with him, she feels normal at least.
"I have nothing else to do today. I just want to thank you for your care during the tour. I have no way to repay you. These two pieces of jade are not a token of respect. I don't know if they will please you. If you like them, it will be a blessing for the jade."
Chen Qing went to look at the jade held by the palace maid behind Concubine Ji. They were two pieces of uncarved high-quality Hetian jade. Then he looked at Concubine Ji in front of him.
She wasn't talking about jade at all.
After serving her in the bedchamber, he came to pay his respects to her with some gifts, and his words were suggestive. It seemed that he was coming to surrender.
