Chapter 400 Terrifying
Even though he didn't want to leave, he had to leave. He couldn't miss the morning court. He just looked at her for a long time and looked back when he left Zhaohua Palace.
Zhaohua Palace has been well renovated over the years. Chen Qing is already the virtuous concubine, and Xuanyuan Ling often comes here, so how can it not be renovated? In the beginning, Zhaohua Palace was very dilapidated, but now it looks like the best palace. Even Fengyi Palace cannot compare to it. Fengyi Palace belongs to the queen, so it is naturally the best renovated palace on the surface, but the external splendor is different from being truly favored.
The decorations in Fengyi Palace looked luxurious, but that was the rule. Many of the furnishings in Zhaohua Palace were chosen by Shen Qing because she thought they looked good and liked them. She would also let Xuanyuan Ling participate in things like picking door curtains and writing plaques. After all, the huge Zhaohua Palace was a trace of their lives, and this alone was something that no other palace could compare to.
Xuanyuan Ling was in a good mood early in the morning with a smile on his face. But when he thought about it, the issue of appointing a crown prince had come up and he couldn't go to Zhaohua Palace every day, he felt uncomfortable.
Concubine Shun was a little anxious. The issue of appointing a crown prince was brought up in the court, and she had been paying close attention to it. As long as there was no conclusion today, she would not be able to let it go.
We also need to find someone to listen to the movements of the previous dynasty.
As a result, there was no news from the previous dynasty, and Xuanyuan Ling had not been to Zhaohua Palace for several days.
However, this operation was considered normal by other people in the harem. Once the matter of establishing a crown prince was exposed in the court, it would not be appropriate for the emperor to go to Zhaohua Palace again. After all, Chen Qing gave birth to the prince herself. The emperor went there more often during this period, so it was inevitable that Concubine Xian would be gossiped about.
This is to avoid suspicion, but it also lets people know that the emperor is really concerned about the reputation of Concubine Xian.
Five days passed like this, and Concubine Shun was worried for five days. During the morning court session one day, Xuanyuan Ling finally brought up the issue of establishing a crown prince again in front of everyone.
Xuanyuan Ling expressed in front of all the ministers that he was in good health and the other princes were young, so he wanted to follow the example of the sages and choose a capable prince as the crown prince in the future, regardless of age.
Once his decision came out, those who had previously suggested enthroning Prince Huai could no longer say anything, nor could anyone find fault with him. Even if someone suspected that Xuanyuan Ling was partial to one prince, they couldn't tell.
The emperor has already said that the capable should be the crown prince, so what else can I say? I can only shout that the emperor is wise.
After all, these princes are all illegitimate sons, and the eldest son is not the legitimate son. When the emperor said this, none of the ministers could refute it. Of course, the main reason is that Xuanyuan Ling is in good health, and he rarely suffers from minor illnesses and disasters. He has not slacked off in court affairs. The emperor has many confidants in the court now, and any decision made by the emperor would be difficult for them to oppose the emperor in the future.
After Xuanyuan Ling finished this matter, he was finally able to go to Zhaohua Palace again. He had nothing to do that day, so he didn't go to the imperial study after the court session. He directly said to Zhao Hai: "Go to Zhaohua Palace."
Zhao Hai immediately agreed upon hearing this, he couldn't wait any longer.
As long as the prince's affairs are not sorted out, it will be inconvenient to go to Zhaohua Palace.
However, Zhao Hai has really realized in the past few days that the emperor can no longer live without the virtuous concubine. In the past, if the emperor had something to do and lived in Qianyuan Palace or something, he would not necessarily be so concerned about her.
The emperor was very unhappy living in Qianyuan Palace for a few days. He asked what the virtuous concubine was doing every now and then. It was common for Zhao Hai to ask people what the virtuous concubine was doing all the time.
Actually, this was nothing, but the Emperor would smile very charmingly every now and then at the peonies that were planted by Concubine Xian herself and sent to the Imperial Study, and he really couldn't understand it.
At the beginning, the Emperor personally asked the Concubine Xian to plant peonies. More than ten plants died. Finally, one was kept alive and sent to the Imperial Study. Normally, he could understand that the Emperor would be in a good mood just by looking at it. After all, the Concubine Xian had spent a lot of effort to keep it alive. But now that you are smiling like this, why do I feel so scared?
Zhao Hai still found it incredible when he thought about it now. In fact, when the court said that the emperor treated Consort Xian the same as always when he was enthroned, he could not see any difference in the past few years. But after one night, the emperor changed drastically. What happened between the emperor and Consort Xian? Why did they suddenly seem to stick together and don't want to separate? He really wanted to know, but he didn't have the courage to ask the emperor.
Zhao Hai couldn't figure it out, but he specifically told the people who were carrying the sedan chair to be steady and walk faster. Didn't they see that the emperor couldn't wait any longer?
Zhao Hai's instructions were obviously correct. Xuanyuan Ling arrived at Zhaohua Palace smoothly. It was still early. He had just finished court and Chen Qing had just woken up and was washing up. He hadn't even had breakfast yet.
When Xuanyuan Ling entered, he saw that Chen Qing had not yet dressed up. When he entered, the servants naturally knelt on the ground. He sent them all away and went up to Chen Qing and hugged her.
At this moment, not all the people had left yet, and two servants were caught off guard and saw him holding Shen Qing like this. Their faces flushed for a moment, and they didn't even have time to wait for everyone to leave. The emperor really dotes on his empress.
Chen Qing also told him to hug her. From her angle, she could see the palace maids running away embarrassedly. She hit him in anger: "If you don't know, you would think I'm some kind of demon. I've seduced the emperor so impatient after not seeing him for a few days."
Xuanyuan Ling grabbed her and patted his chest. He could even bring his hand to his lips and kiss her: "Have you missed me these days? Did you sleep well at night?"
There was a smile in his eyes, as if there were stars, and Shen Qing's appearance was imprinted in his eyes.
It was so real that Shen Qing couldn't help but raise her hand to touch his eyebrows and eyes: "I thought about it, I can't sleep well every day. The emperor is not here, and it's so cold in the quilt."
I felt really satisfied when I heard this, because I knew she had thought about it too.
Xuanyuan Ling leaned over and kissed her: "I miss you so much."
He kissed her for a while and rubbed his nose against hers.
"It's itchy." Shen Qing shrank his neck.
Xuanyuan Ling listened and insisted on teasing her and would not let her go. Hearing her moaning "Oh oh oh oh", he was really happy. The two of them actually played for a while.
Shen Qing was tickled by him, but she pushed him away and said, "I haven't even changed my court clothes yet."
He had just come off court and was so carefree in his court robes. Why did he feel so dizzy?
Xuanyuan Ling felt a little embarrassed to see that she still cared about him. He was indeed very dizzy and was reluctant to leave that day. They had both talked about that much, and logically they should have spent two days together to cool off the excitement in their hearts. However, he knew that the prince was in a difficult situation and it was not good for him to come every day. They separated when they were in the most exciting time. Now he couldn't wait any longer.
He kissed her again and said, "You dress up, I will change my clothes and eat with you."
