Chapter 51 Preparing for the Autumn Hunt
The two of them are very willing and the relationship is very harmonious.
Xuanyuan Ling was impatient before and pounced on anyone he saw, but now that the matter was done, the reserved nature in his bones came back.
Now I'll hold this little girl and talk to her for a while.
It must be said that Shen Qing was very easy to hold, soft and sweet, and now she looked well-behaved, which was very different from her previous depressed look. But if she hadn't suddenly fallen ill before, he wouldn't have known that she was missing her parents in her heart.
Xuanyuan Ling rubbed his chin against her shoulder: "Let's go hunting in the autumn in a few days. Come with me." Just to relax.
The breath that Xuanyuan Ling said was in Shen Qing's ear, and Shen Qing shrank his neck.
The royal family goes on autumn hunting every year, using hunting as a sign of a good harvest in the coming year. This is not a big event in the harem, but a big event in the court, and civil and military officials will also go.
Chen Qing secretly looked at Xuanyuan Ling's expression, but found that he was also looking at her at the moment, and her look was imprinted in his eyes at the moment. She was now somewhat familiar with this expression.
Xuanyuan Ling hadn't seen Chen Qing for many days. He had originally thought of confirming the matter after a few days before telling Shen Qing about it, but he didn't expect that he would just mention the date on the spur of the moment. It was nothing, but Shen Qing saw that he just didn't want to say thank you on the day.
Xuanyuan Ling was a little depressed. He was thinking about her. What was wrong? Was he not happy to be able to leave the palace?
Shen Qing almost couldn't help himself when he saw how depressed he was.
She did it on purpose, not satisfying him immediately, to make him depressed for a while.
This is called first suppressing and then praising.
But we can't let him be depressed all the time.
She raised her hands and held Xuanyuan Ling's face, commenting again that the emperor was really awkward and pretentious, and then kissed Xuanyuan Ling on the cheek.
Xuanyuan Ling didn't expect this, and his heart suddenly felt numb.
After Shen Qing kissed her, he smiled at Xuanyuan Ling and said happily, “Thank you, Your Majesty.”
"Um."
Oh, I just nodded. Is thank you enough?
Chen Qing kissed him on the other side of his face again and asked embarrassedly: "Your Majesty, didn't you see that I was homesick and sick, so you wanted to take me out?"
What she said sounded like a guess, but also with a feeling of great anticipation. Facing such a pair of eyes, Xuanyuan Ling almost couldn't pretend.
But he couldn't muster the heart to blame her at all. Such a little girl who is so good at coaxing people, shouldn't she be pampered a little?
Xuanyuan Ling lowered his head and laughed, then simply lowered his head and kissed her on the forehead: "You think too much."
As he spoke, Xuanyuan Ling went to find her lips.
The resurgence of passion is a natural result.
Shen Qing took the initiative this time.
Xuanyuan Ling felt that he would have to do more things to make Shen Qing happy in the future.
After all, the rewards came so quickly that Xuanyuan Ling felt that it was worth it to coax this little girl. She should be spoiled, and the more she was spoiled, the more obedient she would be.
Of course, Chen Qing still couldn't stay overnight in Qianyuan Palace, so they asked someone to carry him back. Shen Qing was still somewhat looking forward to this matter being settled.
However, the autumn hunt is not the immediate event, because Xuanyuan Ling’s birthday is tomorrow.
This birthday banquet and the Mid-Autumn Festival banquet were actually held very close to each other. Xuanyuan Ling had been told not to be extravagant so the banquet was not very grand. The concubines in the harem all tried their best to perform in front of Xuanyuan Ling.
There wasn't much for Shen Qing to do at this time. She didn't want to show off herself because Xuanyuan Ling probably wasn't very happy about her birthday.
After all, things like birthdays are all related to the Queen Mother.
As expected, after Tai came, the atmosphere became much quieter.
The Queen Mother usually doesn't come out. She didn't even come to the Mid-Autumn Festival banquet, saying that she was not feeling well. But it was a bit unreasonable for her, as Xuanyuan Ling's mother, not to come to Xuanyuan Ling's birthday party.
Xuanyuan Ling and the Queen Mother exchanged some polite words, and then the birthday banquet began.
Unlike the last Mid-Autumn Festival banquet, this time Xuanyuan Ling's birthday banquet was really a flourish. Concubine Yu was dressed up gorgeously, and the others were no less impressive. Chen Qing kept a low profile and watched the show. Everyone probably knew tacitly that they must not do anything to make Xuanyuan Ling unhappy at a time like this, so they all just cared about showing off their own beauty. As a result, the queen mother came and the atmosphere was depressing, and the beauties all pretended to be quails.
Later, when the banquet was almost over, Xuanyuan Ling had to go to the Queen's palace according to the old rules. The Queen Mother was obviously very satisfied, and there was no need to elaborate on the thoughts of the subordinates.
It was a rare and harmonious evening banquet.
After that, it was naturally the autumn hunting season. There was still half a month left before the hunt, and the queen was really busy. She also had to consider who in the harem would accompany her and report this to Xuanyuan Ling.
The queen had decided on Concubine Lin, Concubine Li, Concubine Zhao and Shen Qing.
Although Chen Qing's position is low, she is the one who sleeps with the most people among the newcomers in the palace, which means she is the most favored one, so she has to go.
The Queen sent the list she had prepared to Xuanyuan Ling, but when it was returned, she saw that Concubine Lin's name had been crossed out.
The Queen was puzzled. How had Concubine Lin offended the Emperor?
But it doesn’t matter. If the emperor doesn’t like it, then it’s useless. Just cross it out.
A few days later, when everyone paid their respects to the emperor, the queen told everyone about the autumn hunt and named all those who were going.
Shen Qing knew that she could go, so she still showed some happiness in front of the queen, but she didn't dare to stay happy for too long. After all, if someone's name wasn't mentioned, her face would be really bad.
For example, Lady Lin.
