Chapter 434 Preparing to Get Married
Chen Qing was talking to Xuanyuan Ling about age. After giving the reward, Princess Huai really laughed at Xuanyuan Ling in her heart. It was useless to deny it. Now, he was going to be a grandfather.
After Chen Qing finished joking in private, he felt a little emotional. Don't say this in front of him. He was very concerned about whether he was old or not in the past few years.
Ever since Xuanyuan Ling had a fuss about whether his dressing style was original, he had specially asked someone to take care of his image. At his age, he should have grown a beard, but beards make him look old, so he refused to do so. He really cares about his personal image.
In fact, Shen Qing only said it verbally. How did Xuanyuan Ling get old? He was still in good shape, with all the abdominal muscles he should have, and he hadn't gained weight. Occasionally, he could see a few white hairs, but his face was still very handsome.
Whether you are old or not actually depends on your face, figure and temperament. Chen Qing feels that even if Xuanyuan Ling passes another ten years and can really be called old, will he still be a handsome uncle?
But it's funny, when she first came here, if it weren't for his handsomeness, she would have felt that she was at a loss. After all, he was so pretentious and arrogant at the time. With this face, this good figure, and his good skills, she really felt that it was worth it to sleep with him.
Of course, Shen Qing will never tell Xuanyuan Ling about this in this life.
A few days later, Shen Qing's 'poisoning' incident was over.
Chen Qing's life returned to its previous state, but because the Queen was around, she and Concubine De handed over some of their responsibilities for assisting in managing the six palaces to the Queen. Of course, they didn't give them all away. She and Concubine De still managed a lot of things, and now the three of them were in charge together.
There are usually no major events in the harem, and those that need to be watched are watched. As for Chen Qing, she just needs to pay attention to whether the Queen has regained power and will make any small moves. The fact that Prince Huai secretly has someone take care of Concubine Shun also makes her pay attention to it. The other two points of attention are that Chu Linglong contacted Prince Huai after this incident. The two of them have not lost contact, but now there is no action. The only major event at the moment is the marriage proposal for the third princess.
Now that the Third Princess is old enough, it's time for her to choose a husband. However, originally Shen Qing had to take charge of the affairs of the harem, after all, she and Concubine De were in charge of the affairs of the harem. Now that is no longer necessary, as the Queen is in charge again. Logically speaking, she is the legitimate mother, so there is nothing wrong with her being in charge of this matter. And the Third Princess is not Shen Qing's biological daughter, but Qin's biological daughter. Putting aside the disputes between Shen Qing and Qin, it would be better for her not to interfere in this matter.
Chen Qing was unwilling to get involved and said that she had not fully recovered yet. The queen was happy that she did not interfere. Xuanyuan Ling knew that Chen Qing did not want to interfere and just smiled. Chen Qing and Qin had had quite a few disputes in the past, but she did not make things difficult for the third princess when she got married. Instead, she openly did not care about the matter. Xuanyuan Ling felt that she would neither cause trouble to herself nor make others unhappy. In short, she was good in every way, so how could he dislike her for not interfering?
When the Third Princess heard the news, she was silent for a moment. Wan Zhao also sighed. He didn't say anything in front of the Third Princess, but he thought in his heart that the Virtuous Concubine was actually kind.
She was almost beaten to death at the beginning, and then there was the poisoning incident, and the Qin family even went after the Shen family father and son. Although the Qin family has fallen into such a situation, if she is still thinking about revenge and wants to avenge the third princess, she is now in power, and the emperor dotes on her. She may whisper in the emperor's ear, and the third princess may not marry as she wished. But she openly doesn't care about this matter. The queen has now taken back the power, so it's not good to make a fuss in front of the emperor. She will obviously choose the third princess's future husband carefully, and will certainly not let the third princess be unhappy after marriage and cause any trouble.
The third princess was silent for a moment before finally letting out a sigh of relief: "I can also go and ask to see my father."
As a daughter, she is about to get married, so she always has to consider her mother in the cold palace.
Xuanyuan Ling heard that the third princess was coming to pay a visit, so he naturally did not refuse.
The third princess bowed to Xuanyuan Ling. Xuanyuan Ling still remembered how she looked when she was just learning to speak. Now she is getting married, and he feels quite emotional.
The father and daughter talked for a long time. The third princess didn't talk about Qin's matter right away, but she was thinking about it in her heart. The topic could always be changed. When she felt that it was about time, she finally said: "My daughter has something to ask. I know it is not in accordance with the rules, but I still want to ask my father."
The third princess knelt down and bowed deeply: "I don't ask you to release my mother from the cold palace, but I am about to get married. I also ask you to allow me to see my mother before I get married."
Xuanyuan Ling could actually tell from her daily voice that the Third Princess was thinking about Qin, and thought she was asking for something else, but she just wanted to see him. Naturally, he didn't blame her: "Go ahead."
"Thank you, Father."
After hearing Xuanyuan Ling's words, the third princess was finally sent to the cold palace.
Qin had been staying in the cold palace for all these years, with no one to serve her or talk to her, except Wan Zhao who came over from time to time. She was either in a daze every day, thinking about the past, from her youth to entering the palace, to those struggles, and the third princess, Xuanyuan Ling, the queen, Chen Qing, the people who came and went, and she hated and missed them, thinking about them countless times in her heart.
I heard someone coming outside, thinking that today's meal was delivered a little early, but I heard a voice: "Mother."
It is still the same title as before. In fact, she is not a concubine now, so how can she be called mother?
But when she heard this, her heart trembled. She looked up and saw a girl standing not far from her with red eyes. Her heart trembled, and tears flowed down her face as she looked at the girl in front of her: "Min Ning?"
The third princess couldn't stop crying when she saw Qin's face, which looked nothing like the one she remembered, and even looked old. She walked up to Qin and bowed to her: "Min Ning greets mother."
Qin burst into tears and helped her up: "Good child, good child, why are you here, your father..." He had never allowed her to take care of Min Ning too much, and had asked a nanny to discipline her.
"My daughter is getting married, and my father has allowed her to come and see her mother."
Qin was stunned. Her daughter had grown up and was about to get married. She held her hand. She had been thinking about her all these years. She was still worried when she heard this: "Whose family is the other party from? The virtuous concubine... how does she treat you..."
Over the years, although Wan Zhao came here, he only reported good news and not bad news. Qin was afraid that her daughter would be targeted because of her.
"Mother." The third princess knew what Qin meant, but she interrupted her: "My daughter has lived well these years. The virtuous concubine has not treated her badly. The virtuous concubine has never interfered in my daughter's marriage."
In fact, even if Wan Zhao didn't say it, the Third Princess herself might not understand that she could not get close to Shen Qing, and she had never thought about getting close to Shen Qing. But she had been in the harem all these years. Although she was protected by her father, the twists and turns in the harem were not a big deal unless something really happened. She had lived safely and securely all these years, and the Virtuous Concubine had not treated her unfairly.
