Chapter 44 Meeting Qiulu Again
"My dear, you don't have to walk so fast every time." Chunhua noticed the gazes of others looking at her intentionally or unintentionally.
Shen Qing said: "It's better to walk faster and not have any intersection. It's not like I really want to have a deep sisterly relationship with them."
A group of people serving one man and calling him sister, who are they disgusting? She didn't want to join in the fun at all.
Shen Qing lives her own little life.
Concubine Yu was frightened by Xuanyuan Ling and was well behaved for a few days.
But thinking back on it, she knew that Xuanyuan Ling was just trying to scare her, especially when on the second day Xuanyuan Ling asked Zhao Hai to visit her in order to calm her down. Concubine Yu understood what was going on and knew that the Emperor was angry with her for making a big deal out of it.
It would be a waste of time to make a big fuss, as the Emperor would not be happy about it, but Concubine Shen was plotting against her, so of course she felt sick whenever she saw her.
She did not punish Concubine Shen, but she said in front of everyone that Concubine Shen had fainted in the Queen's Palace on purpose, and asked everyone else in the harem to keep an eye on her, so as not to bump into Concubine Shen and be blamed by her.
This made everyone else in the harem know that Concubine Shen fainted on purpose to complain to the Queen. For a moment, no one sympathized with her for being targeted by Concubine Yu. Originally, Concubine Yu was domineering, and they all avoided her, but now it was different.
Although this cannot be said to be self-inflicted, it still makes people feel scared.
She was able to plot against Concubine Yu, so who knows if she would suddenly plot against others?
In short, Concubine Shen suddenly became unwelcome in the harem.
That’s not all. Concubine Yu revealed that Concubine Shen was plotting against her in Fengyi Palace. It was obvious that she didn’t just want to teach Concubine Shen a lesson, she also wanted to make the Queen feel disgusted as well.
The Queen knew, but there was nothing she could do. The Emperor knew what Concubine Shen had done, so how could she stop Concubine Yu? Besides, she might not like Concubine Shen.
So, that's it.
Even though Concubine Shen had some thoughts of her own, these things happening one after another made Concubine Yu very angry.
It can be said that she has now offended the Queen and Concubine Yu, the two most important people in the palace.
All I can say is that one wrong step leads to another, and it’s too late to regret now.
After meeting Shen Qing once, Xuanyuan Ling resumed his previous frequency of visiting the harem.
After all, the Queen's palace cannot be avoided all the time, otherwise it will be detrimental to the stability of the harem and will inevitably cause others to have many concerns.
Therefore, Xuanyuan Ling did not leave the queen alone anymore and finally went to the queen's palace.
The queen knew that the emperor had not completely forgiven her, but he suspected her of plotting against Concubine Yu. After giving her a warning last time, she let it go this time when she came back to the palace.
But the past is the past, and she knew that the emperor must remember it in his heart.
The queen did not dare to neglect it.
Xuanyuan Ling asked: "How is Concubine Fang's pregnancy?"
It is also the queen's duty to take care of pregnant women in the harem.
But when he asked the Queen, she knew what he meant: "Noble Lady Fang is already five months pregnant. She is a lucky person. The child has not troubled her. I have also specially ordered the Imperial Kitchen to take care of her. The Imperial Physician takes her pulse every two days. I have examined her and he said that she is in very good health and will definitely give birth to the baby safely."
"Yeah." Xuanyuan Ling just listened and that was it.
The Queen was calculating the time in her mind. Concubine Fang was due to give birth in more than four months, and no other woman in the harem was pregnant. It seemed that the Emperor no longer trusted her. She had originally planned to keep Concubine Fang's child and get rid of the mother and keep the child, but now it was not easy to do so.
The emperor is watching us. If there is a next time, I’m afraid he won’t raise it so high and put it down so gently as this time.
I really want to hate her.
The emperor and the empress were never talkative people, so the conversation ended after this round of questioning.
Xuanyuan Ling and the Queen were lying on the bed. He really had no sexual interest in doing anything and fell asleep after a while. The Queen looked at his sleeping face and raised her hand to touch him gently. Tonight was another sleepless night.
Xuanyuan Ling was still in a bad mood when he left the Queen's Palace the next day, but the Queen thought about it and didn't dare to mess with Concubine Fang's baby again.
He had a day off today and thought of Concubine Fang, so he decided to go see her.
Concubine Fang hadn't seen Xuanyuan Ling for a long time, but she was pregnant after all and couldn't take care of him. Xuanyuan Ling did ask people to see her, but not many of them came in person.
Now she was very happy to see Xuanyuan Ling coming. Xuanyuan Ling comforted her with a few words and then left.
He turned to Zhao Hai and ordered: "Go to Zhaohua Palace."
Zhao Hai was stunned, and then heard Xuanyuan Ling say: "Forget it, if I leave now, she will have other thoughts in her mind."
Zhao Hai couldn't understand what he said, but he thought to himself that it was true. He had just come out of the Queen's Palace. Going to see Concubine Fang was fine because she was pregnant, but Concubine Shen from Zhaohua Palace was of low status and had no children. Wouldn't it be a mistake to see her like that?
But if you look at the emperor, he first took a day off to go out and see Shen Liangren, it means he was thinking about Shen Liangren in his heart. If he doesn't go again, it means he is concerned about her.
Shen Liangren is the first person in the palace who the emperor cares so much about.
Xuanyuan Ling said this but still went to the imperial study.
Shen Qing didn't know about this.
The weather has been really good these past two days, neither too cold nor too hot, making Shen Qing feel comfortable all over. It would be a pity not to go out for a walk on such a nice day, so Shen Qing thought about going to the Imperial Garden to feed the fish. There was no other way, the only living things in the palace that could make people happy to look at were fish. A group of beautiful koi swam around and ate every day, and feeding them was a good way to pass the time.
She crushed the cake into pieces and fed them to the koi fish little by little, then watched the koi fish fight over the cake.
As she watched, she suddenly felt like eating lotus root.
When I told Chunhua about it, she laughed and said, "I thought you would want to eat fish when you see the fish."
Ever since the last visit to the Queen, Chunhua and Shen Qing have become closer, and now Zhang Ri also said this.
Shen Qing was not angry: "Fish have bones."
She likes eating fish, but she doesn't like spitting out the bones.
As the two were talking, a voice suddenly rang out: "This servant greets my beloved."
Chen Qing took a quick look and saw a person kneeling outside the pavilion. It was Qiu Lu who had asked to leave Zhaohua Palace.
