Chapter 393 Plan
The fact that Chen Qing went to see Concubine De and gave her gifts was watched by everyone in the harem. Or, in other words, every move of Chen Qing has been watched by someone over the years. There are so many things to do in the harem. If she didn't have the ability to handle it, and something went wrong, it would be embarrassing enough, wouldn't it?
But they have been living like this for so many years, and the Queen still frowned when she heard the news.
"Don't worry, your majesty. The emperor has not postponed the selection this year."
The Queen looked at Jinzhi and said, "It is said that it will not be postponed. In the past few years, the virtuous concubine has been favored by the emperor. Now that the emperor does not choose another one and the Sixth Prince has entered school, it is likely to cause criticism."
Choosing the Queen would make people feel uncomfortable, and they also felt that it was for the Virtuous Concubine. If they didn't choose her, it would be obvious that it was for the Virtuous Concubine. Therefore, whether they chose her or not, it would make people feel uncomfortable.
"Let's keep an eye on Concubine Shun. The eldest prince's affairs need to be settled. Ask someone in the court to give him a push. I want to see what the emperor is planning to do. Is he going to favor Zhaohua Palace mother and son?"
She really couldn't wait to see what would happen under the push of the situation. She didn't dare to make any move, but she was not the only one in the harem. Now she didn't recruit anyone and looked at others. Sometimes, when doing things, you have to choose the right time.
Jinzhi was also somewhat looking forward to it. This matter would not involve the Queen Mother, and it would all depend on Concubine Shun. Concubine Shun had also become quite capable over the years.
Xuanyuan Ling, Shen Qing and Xiaoliu played for a while, and the three of them went out for a walk until it was time for dinner. Xiaoliu naturally sat at the table now, and the three of them ate together. The rule of not talking while eating or sleeping had long been forgotten in Zhaohua Palace. Xuanyuan Ling and Shen Qing did not like to be served by servants during meals, but Xiaoliu had servants serving him these days, but he was still happy with his father and mother.
Just talking about my father's words... Well, after I entered school in Xiaoliu, I also encountered the incident of Xuanyuan Ling checking my homework. It was then that I realized that my father was very different when he was outside.
Although Xiao Liu is still young, he already knows that it is difficult for his father to get close to him when his mother is not around. However, after all, he has been held in Xuanyuan Ling's arms since he was a child, so he is not afraid. On the contrary, he stands out among the princes. After all, the other princes always look at Xuanyuan Ling differently, and when they are asked questions, they are afraid of giving wrong answers. But Xiao Liu is not afraid. If he gets it wrong, it's fine.
In this regard, Xiaoliu is a bit like a newborn calf who is not afraid of tigers. His mother said that it is okay to make mistakes. Everyone makes mistakes, including his mother, but he should not make the same mistake a second time. The first mistake is to let himself know his shortcomings, and in this way, he will naturally understand more and more. Of course, the child has no concept of understanding more and more, he just thinks that knowing more is powerful.
Xiaoliu took these words to heart.
After the meal, it was dark and Xiaoliu had to go back after all.
Shen Qing still saw him off to the door. Xuanyuan Ling originally felt comfortable with Shen Qing and the child, but he didn't see Shen Qing seeing the child off before. Now that he saw it, he couldn't help but ask, "I've been with you for all these years, why didn't you see me off when I left?"
"Your Majesty wants me to see you off? Then I'll get up early tomorrow?" Shen Qing was also unambiguous.
Why did Xuanyuan Ling feel so awkward? She had just mentioned it in the first place, but after she said this, she felt as if he particularly wanted her to see him off. There was no such rule back then, so is there an additional rule now?
He couldn't help but say, "Sleep on yours."
Chen Qing also knew that it was not the case. She was just teasing Xuanyuan Ling. She said it like a jealous child. It was funny to see him being angry. She took his hand and said, "I was joking, but the emperor took it seriously."
Xuanyuan Ling glared at her: "Okay, you still have the guts to say it."
It would have been fine if it was just a joke, but he had to make it clear that Xuanyuan Ling was really... He would not forgive her.
Well, a few years have passed, and the two of them haven't become silent when they are together because of their age. Instead, they have become a little childish.
This childishness was reflected in the private quarrels. Xuanyuan Ling carried Shen Qing in and spanked him, but of course it was not severe. However, Shen Qing cooperated very well and cried out "oh oh oh" twice. Xuanyuan Ling found it funny to himself, and the two of them cuddled together again. When their lips touched, they stopped quarreling. After so many years, emotions were very attractive. Xuanyuan Ling was physically and mentally happy with Shen Qing and Xiaoliu, and now their kisses were somewhat lingering.
When they separated a little, Xuanyuan Ling rubbed the tip of his nose against the tip of Shen Qing's nose, then kissed him, separated, and kissed him again, as if they were playing a little.
It was not yet the spring equinox, but the room was a little hot. A snow-white foot stretched out from under the thick quilt, but Xuanyuan Ling pulled it back: "Don't seek coolness."
Shen Qing lay on Xuanyuan Ling unhappily: "It's hot."
"You won't feel hot after you rest for a while. Last time you tried to stay cool, you caught a cold. Your body can't stand the cold."
Chen Qing calmed his heartbeat and breathing and listened to Xuanyuan Ling's heartbeat and breathing. After a while, Xuanyuan Ling started talking: "This year's selection, I plan to choose a concubine for the eldest prince. For the rest, you can cross out the ones you don't like. I will choose a few of the rest and give them to the princes later."
Shen Qing raised his head and blinked twice: "Your Majesty doesn't choose for himself?"
Xuanyuan Ling paused and said, "You want me to choose? Xiaoliu has indeed enrolled in school. In recent years, I have indeed had no other children. You and your son have certainly attracted some attention."
After saying this, the heat in Xuanyuan Ling's body dissipated a little, and his heartbeat, which had been a little intense, also eased. However, his tone seemed somewhat normal.
If she wanted him to choose and pretend to be nice just to set a target for her and her son to live a more stable life in the future, he would feel uncomfortable, but he would still agree to her. After all, Xiaoliu was enrolled in school and the eldest prince was in the court. In the current situation, even if she had such plans, he could understand it. It was for the sake of the child, right?
But just as he was thinking about it, Shen Qing bit his chest for a day, then raised his head and looked at him fiercely: "I think the emperor is looking for a new person."
Xuanyuan Ling hissed, listening to the displeasure in her tone and looking at her fierce look, his Adam's apple rolled, his eyes were bright, and her fierce look was imprinted in his eyes, which was very cute. For a moment, his heart was beating like a drum, and he did not follow Shen Qing's words, but just said: "Let's do it again."
