Chapter 4 Return Her Today
There are many people with sharp eyes and ears in this palace. They didn't sleep with her because they thought she looked good before, but they were still worried that she would be favored in the future, so the three meals a day she ate were acceptable.
After what happened yesterday, she had two fewer snacks for breakfast this morning.
It is really clear.
But this is how the harem in this kind of harem novel is. She was mentally prepared, but she didn't expect that things would not go smoothly at the beginning. However, after all, she was not dead. If she was not dead, there was still a future and she had to live her life.
According to the rules, one has to pay respects after the first sleepover.
But considering her character, should she go or not?
Chen Qing was really puzzled about this question, but fortunately, the queen had apparently received the news and sent someone to deliver the reward. The person who delivered the reward also said that there was no need to go over to pay respects.
If this happened to someone else, it would be considered as looking down on them, but in Shen Qing's case, it was just to prevent her from embarrassing herself.
No matter what the queen looked like in the original book, Shen Qing really wanted to thank the queen at this moment.
It's really embarrassing.
The person delivering the reward went back to report to the Queen, who shook her head and said, "She is just unlucky. It's a pity to lose such a beautiful girl."
After that, I didn’t say anything about Shen Qing.
Over there, Shen Qing was looking at the reward given by the Queen.
It was really rare for someone to be carried in and carried out again. Normally, the first time someone serves someone in the palace, they have to follow the rules. Chen Qing is a good man, so how could he be rewarded with cloth and jewelry for his first time serving someone in the palace?
As a result, there were only a few old-fashioned hairpins and bracelets and two pieces of cloth. It would have been fine if there was no comparison, but compared with the other concubines, it was pitifully small.
Qiulu felt even worse. She thought that the Queen Mother had always been the most virtuous, but now she only gave such a small reward. Doesn't this mean that the Emperor doesn't like her and the Queen doesn't like her either?
She never expected that this was the first time the empress had seen this situation. It was not appropriate to reward someone if he did not sleep with her. Now she really wanted to ask Shen Qing not to come to avoid embarrassment. Besides, if the emperor was not satisfied, how could the empress reward him?
Chunhua saw that his eyes were full of worry. When she turned around and saw Chen Qing taking a nap, Qiulu could no longer sit still.
She quietly pulled Chunhua aside and said, "Yesterday I asked Nanny Li, she is still short of people, do you want to go with her?"
Chunhua was stunned: "What are you doing?"
Qiu Lu looked indignant: "Even now, you still don't understand? The Queen sent someone to deliver such a small amount of things. Isn't this obviously a warning to her? She is not respected by the Emperor, and the Queen doesn't like her either. How can she turn things around? The people in the Imperial Kitchen are all opportunists. You couldn't have seen their faces when you went to get the breakfast today, right?"
Chunhua saw it. The other lady was very polite when she sent someone to bring breakfast, but when it came to her, there was only a little soup left.
There are many people in this palace who flatter the powerful and look down on the weak. When the wall falls, everyone pushes it down. That is the norm.
Chunhua thought for a moment and said, "My dear husband is kind after all. If ordinary ladies encounter such a situation, they will always blame others and the world. But she doesn't do that and she is kind to us. We might as well wait and see. Besides, Nanny Li should not have a good job at the moment."
The palace maids were assigned to the young lady before she entered the palace. There was a fixed number of people serving her and her rank. She could be arranged to leave now, but it wouldn't necessarily be better than Zhaohua Palace.
Qiulu knew what Chunhua was thinking: "Now that you want to stay, I won't. When I get used to working with Nanny Li, I'll ask her to arrange for me to serve the new lady in the palace. If you come to your senses later, come find me."
When Chunhua saw her like this, she just pursed her lips and said nothing more.
Qiulu immediately went to look for Nanny Li.
When Nanny Li saw Qiulu, she knew why she came, but she looked at Qiulu with disdain in her eyes.
This person was very quick to act. He was sent back from serving the emperor last night and came here today.
When Qiulu saw Nanny Li kneeling down, she begged to stay by her side.
Nanny Li saw that she was unhappy, but Qiulu had been serving Shen Qing for more than ten days after all. She left without saying anything, and she even made a high-sounding excuse, saying that she had always been thinking about her. No one knew who had seen that Shen Qing was good-looking before and wanted to serve him on her own.
This is because he saw that she had set a bad precedent and was afraid that she would never be able to make a breakthrough in the future, so he wanted to leave her as soon as possible.
How could she dare to keep such a person around?
There are many people in the palace who flatter the powerful and look down on the weak. It's not wrong for them to want to climb up. They all think so, but she looks down on people like Qiulu. Chunhua thinks she is good. She didn't come with her to beg for mercy today. If Mr. Shen's life is really hard in the future, she would be happy to lend a hand.
But after all, since Qiulu had come to her for help, going back would only bring hatred, so she made the decision. However, where to place this person in the future was still up to her.
As soon as Nanny Li agreed, Qiu Lu was delighted and turned around to cry in front of Chen Qing.
She said it with great sincerity: "Madame Li helped me when I entered the palace. She came to me today and said that she needed someone by her side, so she asked me to come over."
Shen Qing almost laughed out loud.
She had seen Qiulu as restless before, but she had never expected her to be decisive. Seeing Qiulu's sincerity, she also expressed her sincerity: "I know it's not easy for you to follow me. I don't blame you for this."
Qiu Lu thought she would at least be scolded, but she didn’t know Shen Qing would say this.
After leaving Zhaohua Palace, Qiu Lu not only did not think that Shen Qing's character was really good, but she felt that this person was probably really hopeless. With this kind of character in the palace, wouldn't anyone be able to step on him?
At that moment, I felt that the decision to leave Shen Qing was even more correct.
Chen Qing didn't ask Chunhua what she thought. In the current situation, the fact that she didn't leave meant that she still had feelings for her. Chen Qing remembered this friendship.
Chen Qing was away for a while because of the emperor's sleeping arrangement. At nightfall, Xuanyuan Ling had dealt with the affairs of the previous dynasty and it was time to turn over the cards.
The people from the Jingshifang brought the green card. Xuanyuan Ling took a look at it and suddenly said, "She sent it back yesterday?"
Wang De didn't react for a moment, but Zhao Hai reminded him: "Mr. Chen is also the first one who was sent to the bedchamber and then carried back."
When Wang De heard that the emperor actually remembered Shen Liangren, he thought that this person would never come back to him again yesterday.
There are not many women in the palace, but at least a dozen. Shen Liangren is unlucky. He happened to meet the emperor when he was busy. This was not a good start. It was that the emperor was thinking about whether he favored the newcomer.
But now it's over, and when someone new enters the palace and the emperor remembers and favors her, then the forgotten Shen Liangren will be completely forgotten.
As a result, the emperor didn't get to eat this man yesterday, but he is still thinking about him today. Oh, Mr. Shen is very lucky.
Just as I was thinking this, I heard Xuanyuan Ling say, "Then return it to her today."
Wang De went out with his eyes narrowed.
The eunuch from the Jingshifang was the one who delivered the message yesterday. He thought about today's matter and called Xiao Chunzi next to him and said, "Go, tell Chen Liangren that you should say a few sweet words. She must have been frightened when she was carried back yesterday. If you say a few nice words, she will be grateful to you. This opportunity is rare."
When Xiao Chunzi heard this, she immediately said, "Thank you for the advice, Master."
He quickly went to report the news to Shen Qing.
Shen Qing thought there was still a future, but he didn't expect the next one to come so soon.
