Chapter 309 Concerns
Xuanyuan Ling issued the imperial decree, and everyone in the harem more or less knew about the snow disaster in Yingzhou. As for the matter of Chu Linglong's father and brother, no one knew about it at first, but later someone revealed it, and naturally everyone knew about it.
When Concubine Zhou received the news, she immediately let go of her complicated feelings towards Chu Linglong.
Because her father was the governor of Yingzhou, and Yingzhou suffered a snow disaster and banditry, and no one knew how her father was doing.
Concubine Zhou was worried about this, and coupled with the fact that Chu Linglong was pregnant, she seemed a little depressed.
The maid An knew that Concubine Zhou was worried about her father and could only comfort her: "Don't worry, Concubine Zhou, the emperor has issued an order to provide disaster relief, and I heard that the disaster is not serious, the master will be fine."
Concubine Zhou was worried about her father and felt a little uneasy, but now she could only pray that the snowstorm would pass quickly and that the bandits could be suppressed as soon as possible.
When Shen Qing heard about this, she didn't think much of it. It was just a bandit suppression. She could even figure out Chu Linglong's pregnancy. What else could she not figure out? But Xuanyuan Ling, I'm afraid he's not very happy, right?
Chu Linglong had just gotten pregnant, and she saw that he had no intention of favoring Chu Linglong in particular. However, someone in the court recommended the father and son of the Chu family, and the action was so quick. It was obvious that he wanted them to gain military merit. How could he not understand this little relationship between the former dynasty and the harem?
Xuanyuan Ling certainly saw it clearly.
Xuanyuan Ling, who issued the imperial edict, realized the relationship between the Chu father and son and Chu Linglong, and frowned immediately.
Naturally, the previous dynasty and the harem have always been involved. It is impossible that there is no connection. Since ancient times, there has been no discomfort in the court and the harem. However, he sneered at such a blatant behavior.
He wanted a child, but there were people in the court who were all-powerful. Chu Linglong had just become pregnant, so someone came to support the father and son of the Chu family.
After all, it was just this one point that made Xuanyuan Ling unhappy about this matter. He also felt that Chu Linglong's previous obedience was all an act. However, the imperial decree had already been issued, so there was no need to replace people at the last minute. So let it be.
However, those noble families had asked him to do this before and even interfered blatantly. Xuanyuan Ling kept this in mind.
There was no solution for the time being, but the third princess came to mind again.
Xuanyuan Ling asked someone to bring the third princess to take a look.
Now he was not willing to go to Zhongyu Palace to see the third princess, so he asked someone to bring the third princess over.
The third princess is now seven years old, and looks a little grown-up. When she saw Xuanyuan Ling, she bowed respectfully, with a look of joy on her face: "Greetings to my father."
Xuanyuan Ling looked at the Third Princess and curled his lips, then asked her what she had learned recently. He had always loved this daughter.
Listening to her conversation, he also found that the governess had done a good job in teaching her, so he gave her a reward.
After the father and daughter spent some time together, they were taken away. Seeing the third princess leave, his eyes turned cold. The third princess was well raised, but Concubine Qin was becoming more and more unreasonable.
The Qin family was behind this. Wasn't there Concubine Qin in the palace? He had been lenient with her several times for the sake of the Third Princess, but she was getting more and more aggressive.
Chu Linglong on the other side didn't expect that her father and brother would be sent to suppress bandits. She was worried, but she also felt that with her father and brother's abilities, there would be absolutely no problem. But she was still worried, but Ming Su was also trying to persuade her.
"Your Highness is pregnant now, don't worry too much. The Master and the Young Master went there to make meritorious deeds, and maybe they will be able to enter the capital after they come back."
Ming Su's comfort made Chu Linglong feel a little better. She really couldn't worry too much now.
Having lost a child once, she was naturally cautious now, especially since the imperial physician said she was suffering from anemia. It was best not to worry too much and just hope that her father and brother were safe and that she could return from suppressing the bandits as soon as possible.
In the evening, Xuanyuan Ling naturally went to Zhaohua Palace again. He saw Chen Qing doing yoga again.
Xuanyuan Ling didn't call her, and started drinking the tea after it was served, and Shen Qing didn't stop either.
Xuanyuan Ling drank tea and watched for a while, until Shen Qing exhaled a long breath of sunlight, and he knew that she was almost done.
Shen Qing really did it, and then he talked to Xuanyuan Ling: “Your Majesty, are you worried about the things in the previous dynasty?”
Xuanyuan Ling didn't talk much about the past dynasties with Shen Qing, but now that she asked, he said: "I forgot the relationship between the Chu family father and son and Concubine Yi for a moment. Seeing that she is just pregnant, she is well-informed about the past dynasties."
"If you have intentions, it's always a mutual benefit." Chen Qing just said it casually, but she didn't mean to flatter anyone. As for who Xuanyuan Ling wanted to replace, it had nothing to do with her.
Xuanyuan Ling felt that the harem was becoming more and more annoying, and waved at Shen Qing.
Chen Qing walked over to him and asked him to hold her and pull her to sit on him. Xuanyuan Ling held her and said, "Why don't you ever ask me for anything?"
What's going on? What's wrong with him? Is he annoyed by the harem and is he just expressing his feelings?
At this moment, should she express that I am devoted to you, so I never ask for anything?
That seems a bit too fake, doesn't it?
There is obviously a conflict of interest, so there is no need to make it sound too pure.
Chen Qing said: "Power is a good thing, everyone wants it, but I am willing to take it only if the emperor is willing to give it to me. Otherwise, the emperor will feel uncomfortable and I will not feel comfortable taking it."
She curled her lips again and looked a little proud: "Besides, Zhizhuo has his own abilities, and the emperor is good at selecting people and appointing them to positions, so the emperor is naturally happy to promote him. If I come, it won't show how powerful he is, right?"
Well, I can even ask her to praise me.
Xuanyuan Ling looked at Shen Qing and sighed in his heart. Her mouth was really like honey. This kind of topic could still coax him.
But this is the truth. Shen Zhizhuo has the ability, so even if she doesn't mention it, he is willing to promote him.
It's true. It makes Chu Linglong's father and brother's job seem even more improper, spying on the harem and engaging in factional struggles.
No matter how obedient you appear, you will still be disliked, right?
Just as he felt before that Chu Linglong's obedience now seemed a little fake, she appeared to be obedient, but in fact they had been colluding with each other behind the scenes. Which one is more likable, the other one openly said that I care, but I do it in a legitimate way?
Xuanyuan Ling listened to Shen Qing's words and felt that she really saw everything so clearly, and was so concerned about him.
