Chapter 52 On the Road
Concubine Lin showed her face in front of Xuanyuan Ling once, but after that she no longer received any favor from him.
Although it happened less frequently before, at least it happened once a month. But there has been no movement for several months.
It was not her turn to go on the autumn hunt this time. Concubine Fang did not go because she was pregnant, Concubine Shen offended Concubine Yu, Concubine Qiao and Concubine Wang were basically useless, but who did she offend?
After thinking about it, it must be related to Shen Qing!
So Shen Qing asked Concubine Lin to block him before he even arrived at Zhaohua Palace.
She came up and glared at Shen Qing: "Speak! Did you say something nonsense in front of the emperor!"
"What are you talking about, my Lord?" Chunhua was already standing in front of Shen Qing.
Shen Qing gave her a look.
Chunhua immediately understood and stepped back.
It would not be appropriate to have any conflict with Concubine Lin outside at this moment.
Lady Lin was so angry that her teeth itched: "Tell me clearly! Is it true or not?"
"I am just a little man. How can I have the nerve to ask the Emperor and the Empress to listen to me? Your Excellency has misunderstood me."
Concubine Lin was so angry that she almost jumped up and down: "If you hadn't been trying to please the Emperor, why wouldn't the Emperor have come to see me? It must have been you!"
The maidservant beside Concubine Lin advised with a worried look on her face: "Careful not to get angry and get yourself in trouble."
Shen Liangren’s status is lower than that of a noble, but status in the palace is one thing, and being favored is another.
You don't see the emperor for two months, but others see him several times a month.
Lin Guiren did not back down from this step. Instead, she pointed at Shen Qing with an aura that the more people persuade me, the crazier I get. She said, "Who do you think you are? You are just a good man. You are the lowest-ranking person in the palace! You are not qualified to go to this autumn hunt!"
Shen Qing listened with neither sadness nor joy: "If Concubine Lin has any doubts about my ability to go hunting in autumn, I think the Empress is still in Fengyi Palace. You can ask her to tick my name off, and I won't bother Concubine Lin anymore."
After she said that, she turned and left.
Lin Guiren was so angry that he jumped up and down: "How dare you leave!"
But he was caught by the palace maid behind him.
The palace maid was really anxious. Why shouldn't she dare to leave? There was the example of Concubine Qiao before!
Walking out of Chunhua, he said, "My dear, do you want to deal with this matter?"
"No need, there's no need to deal with her."
What to deal with?
People like Concubine Lin might kill themselves at any time.
After all, Miss Qiao knows that disgusting people are ordering her around in a sarcastic way.
Is it okay for Concubine Lin to just be incompetent and furious?
Chunhua paused. She was also irritated by Concubine Lin's indiscriminate approach, but she soon understood and thought, "Yes."
Chen Qing quickly put the matter behind her. Concubine Lin would not go to see the queen anyway. She would definitely go to the autumn hunt. Concubine Lin also made Xuanyuan Ling dislike her. Unless Xuanyuan Ling had a brain injury and turned back to favor her, that would basically be it for Concubine Lin.
So why worry about her? If you have the time to think about dealing with Concubine Lin, you might as well think about what to eat this afternoon.
Concubine Lin shook off the hand of the palace maid and exhaled angrily, "Fox charmer!"
The palace maid was thrown off by her hand and fell to the ground, with the skin on her palms scraped off. She was very annoyed, thinking that she was out of favor, yet she offended others like this. When the time came, it would be the servants like them who would suffer and be punished.
In her heart, she looked down on Concubine Lin more and more, but there was nothing she could do. This was fate. She had to get up and persuade her to be with such a master. "Don't be angry, Concubine Lin. If you don't go this time, there will be another time. You will always have a chance to sleep with the emperor. Take care of yourself now and try to give birth to a prince for the emperor as soon as possible. This is better than anything else."
These words calmed Concubine Lin down.
Yes, she should still be thinking about how to gain favor and how to get pregnant. She pursed her lips, remembered the matter in her heart, and completely blamed it on Shen Qing. She thought that there was a long time to come. She really didn't believe that she, a noble lady, could not compete with a good man from a small family!
The palace maid didn't know what Concubine Lin was thinking, and she was relieved to see her finally calm down. Waiting to be favored is much safer than provoking others.
As expected, Shen Qing turned around and started thinking about food. Although they had talked about the autumn hunt today, it was actually not that quick. It would take more than ten days to prepare before going out, so Shen Qing just lived his own life.
The days passed quickly, and it was time to leave the palace. The departure time that day was particularly early. Chen Qing was still half asleep and was woken up by Chunhua.
I opened my eyes and saw that it was still dark outside.
The joy of leaving the palace faded a lot.
But when she really walked out of the palace, she was in a good mood. Looking at the blue sky and white clouds outside, she felt that it was more beautiful than looking outside the palace wall. She got on the carriage to the hunting ground.
Shen Qing was not alone in the carriage, she was accompanied by Concubine Li and Concubine Zhao.
The three of them who were of lower rank sat at the back, and behind them were the palace maids who were serving them. Sitting in the front carriage were Concubine Yu and Concubine Shun, and in the front was the Queen.
Shen Qing had seen Concubine Li before, but Concubine Zhao had always been very low-key. When Shen Qing went to see her, she happened to see Shen Qing as well, and smiled kindly at Shen Qing, who smiled back.
The three of them were in the carriage, you greeted me and I smiled at you, it was not as if they were silent, Lady Zhao looked at it for a while and said, "Did Mr. Shen make this dress himself?"
Shen Qing said, "I asked the maids around me to make the picture I drew." Then she smiled and said, "I am not good at embroidery."
“It’s so unique to draw like this.”
"If the beauty doesn't mind, I'll have someone send it to you later." It was just a casual chat, she was not stingy with this gift, and chatting with someone on the road could also help pass the time.
