Chapter 394 On the Agenda
Chen Qing's heart was moved when he saw his happy eyes. It was so easy to be happy.
She pursed her lips and leaned forward to kiss him, then propped herself up and stood up. The curve of her shoulders and neck was particularly beautiful: "I'll do it."
Xuanyuan Ling really liked her to take the initiative, but when she went too far, he couldn't bear to let her take the initiative while he was aroused. The previous one was passionate and lingering, but this time, both of them were moved.
Since both of them took the initiative, the atmosphere was naturally a little tense.
It's a bit like a fight, with you going back and forth until you stop and take a day to catch your breath, but you still feel a little unsatisfied.
The two of them hugged each other and didn't want to let go, their lips and teeth were intertwined, their breaths were entangled, and this long kiss lasted for a long time. Chen Qing felt a little short of breath, so he loosened his grip a little. Then Chen Qing felt sore and tired, and thinking about it, he felt that he had taken too much initiative.
Xuanyuan Ling's heart was still beating fast at this moment, but it was a bit complicated to calm down. It was all because of her words. However, when he thought of this, he suppressed his wandering thoughts. Some things are better not to think about.
Two days later, Shen Qing got the list of candidates for the draft. She took a look at it but didn't take it seriously.
Xuanyuan Ling knew what was going on. She had only glanced at the list of concubines to get a feel for it. Anyway, he would not choose anyone to enter the palace, so she just needed to find out more about their family backgrounds. It would depend on what Xuanyuan Ling planned to do next.
Once things are put on the agenda, they will naturally be done quickly.
Chen Qing and De Fei were busy for a few days arranging some matters for the talent show. Then the day of the talent show arrived, but Chen Qing did not go to the talent show site. It was natural that she had to act in a dignified manner in front of outsiders, as she had to sit and watch the beauties coming in batches according to the rules. She would not suffer this and let Xuanyuan Ling go and see the beauties by himself.
She might as well eat something delicious and lie down comfortably. She has been busy for several days just for the talent show. It's like a project is completed, so she won't join in the celebration party and give herself a break. However, the small kitchen has developed new snacks to please her, and they taste quite good.
Shen Qing enjoyed the food and thought that Xiaoliu also loved sweets, so he asked someone to send some to Xiaoliu.
Now that the talent show was just around the corner, Shen Qing didn't seem to care much and even had the mind to send cakes to the Sixth Prince.
Everyone who heard about it sighed in their hearts, saying that this was probably the confidence that came from being favored, having children and having power. She was not at all afraid that the emperor would find a new person to enter the palace.
This is what I was thinking at the moment. After the selection came to an end, it was Xuanyuan Ling who arranged a marriage for the eldest prince, and then gave the selected people to other princes. The entire harem was silent.
The selection was postponed that year, and now that the people have been selected, they have been given to other people. The concubines in the harem have seen Shen Qing being the only one favored for so many years, which was already incredible enough, and now they are all stunned.
The selection of concubines was originally intended to break the situation in the harem, but it once again made everyone realize that the emperor had been doting on Concubine Xian for so many years, and he had no intention of getting tired of her. Some people even thought, is this the end of this life? What about the position of the crown prince? Given the emperor's love for Concubine Xian, is this position really not reserved for the Sixth Prince?
However, this matter was a private matter after all, and no one dared to talk about it openly. The only thing that could be discussed openly after the selection was the eldest prince's marriage.
The person who was most upset about this matter was Concubine Shun. Although she didn't say anything in front of Xuanyuan Ling, she asked a lot of questions.
When Concubine Shun heard who Xuanyuan Ling had arranged for the eldest prince to marry, she was very excited, because the identity of the woman Xuanyuan Ling had arranged for the eldest prince to marry was indeed good. In the eyes of Concubine Shun, this was obviously a sign that Xuanyuan Ling valued the eldest prince. Moreover, in order to rush the marriage, Xuanyuan Ling also made the eldest prince a king.
When the eldest prince came to pay his respects to Concubine Shun, Concubine Shun excitedly talked about this matter: "You will be Prince Huai in the future. Your father has high expectations of you. You must not let him down. Your mother does not understand the affairs of the court, but you should know in your heart that you are the eldest son, and the position of the crown prince..."
"Mother." The eldest prince's heart skipped a beat.
Shun Fei was interrupted by him and knew that it was not good to say this openly, but she was still excited: "It's good that you know it in your heart, and mother will help you."
The eldest prince came out from Concubine Shun with a heavy heart. He was going to get married and be crowned a king. Doesn't a prince of the royal family have any thoughts about the position of crown prince?
He is the eldest son, and he has been influenced by everything he has seen and heard. It is impossible for him not to have some thoughts. However, the thoughts only flashed through his mind. He has never thought about it seriously, and he does not have such great ambitions.
When he didn't have such big ambitions, the road ahead would only make him feel too much pressure, and he couldn't relieve this pressure. Concubine Shun would not listen to the suppressed thoughts in his heart, and he couldn't express such thoughts.
When I was sad as a child, I would go to the Imperial Garden. Even now, when I feel sad, I still go to the Imperial Garden.
In fact, he hadn't been to the Imperial Garden for a long time. After all, he had moved out of the palace and built his own residence. Now, walking in the Imperial Garden, he felt a little unfamiliar.
He wanted to go to the place where he used to relax, but he didn't expect that Chu Linglong was there by chance.
Chu Linglong looked at the eldest prince in surprise: "What a coincidence?"
The eldest prince and Chu Linglong were never close, and now they knew to avoid suspicion. However, they still had private contacts, so they spoke in a close manner: "It's a coincidence."
Chu Linglong smiled and said, "Congratulations, you have received double happiness, you have been crowned a king and granted marriage. From now on, you will be called the prince."
The eldest prince smiled, but did not look very happy.
Chu Linglong had known the eldest prince for a long time, so she naturally knew that he was extremely averse to pressure. She knew that the eldest prince would enter the palace today, and now that she had met him, she knew that she had guessed correctly. The eldest prince was not as happy as she had imagined about being crowned a king, entering the court, and getting married, but she just pretended not to notice: "I looked at the previous music score, and the annotations written by the prince are very good."
Speaking of this, the eldest prince felt uncomfortable: "I'm afraid I won't have time to do such things in the future."
Chu Linglong said: "It's not like I don't have any free time at all. As long as the affairs of the court are done, why can't I have some free time in private?"
The eldest prince liked to hear her words. Unlike Concubine Shun, who only asked him to please his father and make him feel that he had no self, he was under a lot of pressure just now. After Chu Linglong said that no one was allowed to be idle in private, he felt better, but he still felt pressured. When facing Chu Linglong, he always said what was in his heart: "My mother has high expectations of me."
Chu Linglong listened, what else could Concubine Shun expect? She looked at the eldest prince. In fact, the eldest prince did not seem to have any ambitions, but his status was there. Now that he took the initiative to bring up this topic, Chu Linglong thought about it and said, "Some of my words may not be appropriate, but I have a good relationship with the prince, so I have to say a few more words. The prince has just entered the court, and Concubine Shun's thoughts are a little too obvious."
The eldest prince's heart skipped a beat. He was originally under great pressure and confused because of Concubine Shun's words, but now Chu Linglong's words seemed to wake him up all of a sudden. Of course, he was not stupid. Over the years, he was no longer the same as before in front of Xuanyuan Ling. He even thought about the position of crown prince, so how could he not notice it? It was just that he had always been indifferent to Concubine Shun's actions.
Now he suddenly understood what Chu Linglong said. Concubine Shun's thoughts were too obvious. He was different after entering the court. Serving the emperor was like serving a tiger.
Chu Linglong knew from his expression that he understood, and it was good that he understood. It was not good to put his mind on the surface right after entering the court. He should wait until he has gained a firm foothold. The eldest prince is actually very good in this regard. He is not stupid, he just needs someone to push him, and Concubine Shun is obviously not someone who can push. The other princes are still young and there is plenty of time. Why rush?
