Chapter 318: Growing Flowers
It was really unexpected that Xuanyuan Ling came to the Imperial Garden. He had nothing to do today, and thought that he hadn't spent enough time with Chen Qing for many days, so he came here. As a result, he found out that Chen Qing had actually gone to visit the Imperial Garden, so he came here.
As a result, when he came over, he saw Shen Qing and De Fei from a distance. They had never concealed their good relationship from him, so he was fine with it. As he got closer, he saw Shen Qing picking flowers for De Fei and putting them on her. He also said that she was more beautiful than flowers... well...
Xuanyuan Ling originally thought that harmony in the harem was a good thing, but the premise was that he didn't know what the good of polishing the mirror was. Now, seeing Shen Qing and De Fei talking and laughing, he suddenly felt that he was in a green cloud...
Xuanyuan Ling's face darkened. What was going on? It was just a normal interaction.
At this time, Concubine De saw him and naturally spoke first: "Greetings to the Emperor."
When Shen Qing turned around and saw Xuanyuan Ling's serious expression, she blinked twice. Huh?
Then she followed suit and bowed.
Xuanyuan Ling then cried out, his eyes falling on the rose that Shen Qing had just pinned on Concubine De's head. His mind raced, "It's rare for Concubine De to wear a flower in her hair. This is very nice."
He was talking about Concubine De and looking at Shen Qing, but he saw Shen Qing's expression become subtle.
It can't be anything but subtle, like, can it be more obvious?
He hoped that she would get jealous when he heard her praising Concubine De.
Shen Qing looked at Xuanyuan Ling and almost laughed out loud.
Concubine De didn't expect Xuanyuan Ling to say such words.
She didn't know what Xuanyuan Ling and Shen Qing had said in private, but she was surprised why Xuanyuan Ling said that. He usually didn't comment on others, and he knew very well that she was avoiding his favor. The two of them had been treating each other with respect for a long time. He was never frivolous when talking to her, so today's praise of her seemed a bit unusual.
Xuanyuan Ling praised, Shen Qing was subtle, Defei was also subtle, and he was...very embarrassed.
Defei also found the atmosphere a bit awkward, so she, well, didn't want to get involved. Zhaohua Palace was close to the Imperial Garden, and Xuanyuan Ling came here to look for Chen Qing, so she said, "The Third Prince should look for me, so I'll take my leave first, and let Sister Xifei accompany the emperor to visit the Imperial Garden."
Shen Qing didn't expect that Concubine De would say this so quickly, and move so quickly.
After Xuanyuan Ling said "hmm", she left immediately without any pause. Chen Qing almost sighed when she saw Defei leaving so quickly, but in Xuanyuan Ling's eyes, her expression was one of reluctance to leave. Look, Defei had been gone for quite a while, but she was still looking at her.
Xuanyuan Ling stared at Shen Qing and couldn't help but said, "Still looking? How about following along?"
Shen Qing turned his head: "Is it okay?"
Xuanyuan Ling: “…”
Stared at her.
Shen Qing was very happy and smiled as she tried to hold Xuanyuan Ling's arm: "Your Majesty just made me jealous on purpose, didn't you?"
Xuanyuan Ling was really embarrassed. How could he admit this?
Chen Qing laughed out loud when she saw his expression: "Your Majesty, tell me yourself, how many times have you been jealous of Concubine De? Why did Your Majesty get jealous when Your Majesty saw me pinning flowers for Concubine De? Oh, Your Majesty is not happy with your concubine pinning flowers for others, is it because your concubine did not give you flowers? That is my fault, I will give Your Majesty one too."
As she said this, she really wanted to pick another one. Xuanyuan Ling even thought that she dared to put this flower on his head. Is this appropriate?
"Chen Qing!" Xuanyuan Ling was so embarrassed, but think about it, if Chen Qing hadn't always said ambiguous words and caused some trouble, would he still be like this?
It's just a hairpin with flowers, what's the big deal? She just praised Concubine De for being more beautiful than flowers, and Concubine De lost her usual dignified look and became a little shy. Yes, that's nothing!
Thinking of this, he looked at Shen Qing unhappily.
Shen Qingke was innocent and funny, how could she be so jealous?
She raised her arms and hooked them around his neck, asking him to bend down a little and kissed him all day. After the kiss, she smiled and turned around to pick another rose for Xuanyuan Ling: "The emperor has one too, so you won't be jealous anymore, right?"
Xuanyuan Ling didn't answer it. He was just trying to coax the child. How could he lose face like this?
But Shen Qing came close to him with the flower, and took his hand and stuffed the flower into his hand: "I also sent flowers to the emperor, and the emperor accepted it, but he was not jealous."
Xuanyuan Ling looked at the flower, then looked at Chen Qing. It was the first time he received a flower. What should he say? Fortunately, it wasn't put on his head, right?
He looked at Shen Qing's smiling face and felt embarrassed and helpless: "Stop playing."
This was not an attempt to coax him, it was clearly an attempt to make fun of him. He was just distracted for a moment, it was really not worth it.
Shen Qing flew into his arms like a little butterfly, smiling slyly, "Will the emperor not let me see the Empress Defei?"
Xuanyuan Ling called her and hugged her. Hearing her words, his teeth itched: "No! I won't!"
Last time I told her that she was narrow-minded, and now she is saying it on purpose. How can she be so playful and even play with him? She is really making a fuss. Humph, she is spoiled.
Shen Qing was overjoyed.
Although Xuanyuan Ling had just arrived at the Imperial Garden, Shen Qing had already walked around for a while and was unwilling to continue accompanying Xuanyuan Ling. Xuanyuan Ling wanted to walk around, but she said her feet were sore. What else could she do? She just went back to Zhaohua Palace.
It was still early and they hadn't even made it to lunch yet. After returning, Shen Qing and Xuanyuan Ling drank tea. Seeing Xuanyuan Ling's expression, Shen Qing even respectfully served tea to Xuanyuan Ling. This was truly unprecedented. Xuanyuan Ling thought that she was apologizing for making such a fuss just now.
After drinking tea, the rose he had just picked was still placed aside. He was reluctant to throw it away, so he said to Zhao Hai: "Find a vase to keep it."
Zhao Hai looked at the plucked flowers. How long can they be kept after being plucked? But they couldn't not be kept. The emperor had already said that they must keep the flowers for two more days.
Shen Qing felt that Zhao Hai was very careful when picking flowers, and the flowers he picked soon withered: "I will send a fresh one to the emperor later."
Xuanyuan Ling listened to her and thought about how noisy she was just now. He would not be happy if he did not ask her to spend some time and effort: "Then you can take care of it yourself. I think peonies are a good match for you, so I will plant a peony and put it in the imperial study later."
Chen Qing: "..." Bah, why bother saying this, she can't grow any peonies, she can even kill a cactus.
