Chapter 3 The Emperor has summoned you to his bed
Chunhua was shocked when she heard this: "You can't say that. It's not good for my beloved to hear it."
Qiulu said, "She is resting because of her injured leg. How can she hear it?"
Chunhua frowned and said, "Let's not talk about it. My dear husband treats us very kindly. After sleeping with me, our life will be better. Don't think too much."
Qiu Lu felt unhappy. She had thought that Shen Qing's beauty could at least impress the emperor and she might be favored by him. But now it seems that the emperor doesn't care much about beauty. She was afraid that she would remain indifferent in the future. If she had known this, she might as well have been assigned to other ladies, so that she would not have to go out like this and feel inferior to others.
She was watching. Several newcomers to the palace who served the noble masters had all received rewards. They all looked different in front of others. However, not only were their masters of the lowest rank, they were also poor and had not received any rewards at all for entering the palace.
In fact, Shen Qing wanted to give it, after all, the rules were there, but she really didn't have it. The original owner was cheated of all her money when she entered the palace, and when she took over this body, she really had no money. She could only give it later, and she couldn't treat the people who served her badly.
But she didn't expect that Qiu Lu was already impatient before she even went to bed with him.
Shen Qing was resting in the room at the moment, and thought about Qiu Lu’s expression just now.
There are always maids in the palace who want to move up. Now she has only two of them by her side, Chunhua and Qiulu. Chunhua serves her the most and is very diligent, while Qiulu served her less in the past, which shows that she is lazy. Now she shows disgust, which doesn't seem like someone who can be loyal.
As expected, Chunhua went to get lunch near noon. Chen Qing pretended not to know and planned to take a nap after eating, but he didn't expect the eunuch from the Jingshifang to come suddenly.
The Jingshifang from the palace came to the concubine's palace for only one thing.
The emperor summoned me to bed.
This is really unexpected.
When Shen Qing heard this, what could he say? Did he think she was asking for favor so he made her kneel? Now he saw that she was honest so he made her sleep with him?
Of course I can't refuse to sleep with you.
It means: "My knees are a bit shabby."
Chunhua looked at Chen Qing's knee and found that the bruise was more serious, which was really horrible to look at.
"Oh, what should I do? How about I get you some rouge and powder to cover it up?"
I have to take a shower later, so there’s no point in covering it up, right?
We can only think positively about everything.
It’s pitch dark, so maybe no one will notice?
Shen Qing felt complicated for only a moment when she heard that she had to sleep with the emperor. She had already prepared herself mentally. She had to serve him. What else could she do? She was not lucky enough to avoid the emperor's favor and live a stable life in this palace. She had to be more open-minded. Otherwise, how could she live? She had to live.
When the time came, a eunuch would come to pick her up, and then she would be sent to the Tangquan Palace to bathe. It was Shen Qing's first time to serve the emperor in bed, and she felt like a pig to be slaughtered. She was washed, wrapped, and carried away. The people in the Jingshifang moved very quickly, and then Shen Qing was carried to the dragon bed.
The preparations took a long time, but the emperor was not waiting. She was sent over after sunset, but the emperor still did not come.
Shen Qing was waiting until she was about to fall asleep, but she was awakened by a report: "The emperor is busy in front, and ordered someone to send Shen Liangren back."
Shen Qing's eyes went dark. The dog emperor was playing a trick on me? How could she stay in the palace after such a mess? Isn't this going to make people laugh to death?
The Jingshifang was in charge of the imperial concubine's bedroom, and the one who spoke was Wang De, the eunuch in charge of the Jingshifang. He called over a few eunuchs and prepared to carry Shen Qing away.
Can Shen Qing say no?
Even if a thousand horses were galloping through her heart, she could only be carried back.
She really never expected that her first time to sleep with the emperor would end like this. She couldn't hide the gloom on her face for a moment. Of course, it was normal for her face to be a little gloomy at this moment.
No one cares what she thinks. In this palace, only your favored people can figure out your thoughts.
This was her first time to sleep with the emperor and he even asked someone to send her back. No one could guess what was going on.
They were carried all the way back to Zhaohua Palace. Chunhua and Qiulu were stunned when they saw it. The people in the Jingshifang did not say anything festive. Chunhua and Qiulu had never seen anything like this in the palace.
Qiulu was so scared that she turned around to ask a young eunuch. When she heard that Chen Qing was carried to the emperor's bedchamber and was carried back without even seeing the emperor, Qiulu's face changed.
This afternoon, when she heard the news from the Jingshifang, she really thought that Shen Qing's luck had turned, but she didn't expect that this would happen.
Such a thing has never happened in this palace before. The person who was sent in was actually sent back intact.
Isn't it obvious that the emperor is no longer interested in Shen Qing?
Chen Qing couldn't get out of the quilt she was wrapped in by herself, and it was Chunhua who helped her get out. She looked very bad after that.
When Chunhua went out to fetch water, Qiulu told her about Chen Qing's experience. When Chunhua came back with the water and saw Chen Qing's face, she felt sad and puzzled.
Why does the emperor not like this handsome man, Shen Liangren?
Chunhua thought so in her heart, and Chen Qing, who had experienced it personally, was even more itchy in her heart to bite this dog emperor.
Life was already not good, and this incident just made it worse.
Shen Qing gritted his teeth.
If you ask what could really go wrong with this, actually it's not that, it's just embarrassing, and people will inevitably laugh at it, but this turn of events was something Shen Qing hadn't expected, and she just ended up like this after scolding the dog emperor dozens of times.
The matter has already been settled, and it is useless for Shen Qing to think about it.
After taking a few deep breaths, Shen Qing was not unable to sleep.
Chunhua and Qiulu were outside, supposed to be on guard, but Qiulu couldn't sleep and pulled Chunhua aside to talk.
"Look, she can still sleep. Even in this situation, she can still sleep."
Chunhua said: "It must be that the emperor was busy with his previous affairs. There is still the next time."
Qiulu said, "She is not the only one in the palace. If she fails to serve the emperor for the first time, he might forget about her. She will stay here for two years. She will have nothing to eat and how long will her good looks last?"
Qiulu found it ironic to say: "What a waste of such a good face."
Shen Qing slept all night and felt much better. He had porridge in the morning, but today's breakfast was even worse.
