Chapter 59 The Emperor Wants to Save Face
Naturally, Shen Qing asked someone to send her back after serving her in the bed, but this time when she was sent back, Xuanyuan Ling's face was not very good.
Zhao Hai looked at it and felt a little puzzled.
He really couldn't understand this matter.
The emperor favors this person and doesn't seem to have criticized her at all. So this should mean that the storm is over and the sky is clearing up, right?
But why do you look so bad now?
What did Shen Liangren do again?
“Go tell Wang De to remove Shen Liangren’s green card next.”
Zhao Hai responded, feeling really puzzled. After so many twists and turns, why is there still such a thing at this moment?
What does the emperor mean by this? You can't be thinking about her anymore, right? If he wasn't thinking about her, he wouldn't have brought her here today. At least he should have some face. Shen Liangren left the emperor alone and gave in. The emperor should also leave her alone to let her know how to be afraid and not dare to do this again in the future, right? Isn't this really thinking about her?
But once the man gave in, the emperor agreed and brought the man over...
Thinking of this, Zhao Hai suddenly understood. OK, this is what was going on.
After two attempts to refuse to sleep with the emperor, Chen Qing finally had the emperor's bed again. There were many people watching, and those who were more informed knew that Chen Qing had given in and the emperor accepted it. They thought the matter was over, but it took a turn at the end.
Everyone in the harem who originally thought that Shen Qing was fine with all this trouble were about to crush their handkerchiefs, but the emperor suddenly removed Shen Qing's green card.
Everyone was delighted when they saw it.
Oh, she was angry with the emperor, but now she has given in, and the emperor won’t continue to do so.
The harem still depends on favoritism. Now that the emperor has personally removed the green card, this is tantamount to a death sentence in the harem!
The news soon reached the Queen.
The Queen was paying close attention to this matter. She had originally thought that the Emperor's summons to Chen Qing this time would not be so simple. Sure enough, the green card was withdrawn.
Jinzhi said: "I think the emperor was waiting for this Shen Liangren to surrender. If she doesn't surrender herself, wouldn't it seem that the emperor has lost his dignity?"
"That's not without reason," said the Queen.
Jinzhi said: "The emperor's majesty is not something a good lady can challenge. Now that she has given in, the emperor must have found it boring, so he asked someone to remove her green card. This time, good lady Shen's temper has offended the emperor."
The Queen did not think much about it: "If the Emperor says to withdraw, then we should withdraw. As for the warning, it is unnecessary since it has come to this."
Jinzhi smiled and said, "That's right. That Chen Liangren must be regretting it right now, right? He relied on a little favor to act so recklessly. Now that he knows that the emperor has absolute authority in the palace, he must serve him well. It's too late."
At this moment, countless people in the harem were laughing at Shen Qing, thinking that Shen Qing might not be able to sleep tonight.
Who would have known that Chen Qing slept so soundly after coming back from serving the emperor?
She was hungry again after waking up from a nap. It was not until she saw Chunhua and Fangyun looking at her with some concern during breakfast that she smiled: "Why? Are you worried that I will feel bad after my green card is taken away? I am not upset. It's just a temporary removal. As long as the emperor is satisfied, that's enough."
Chunhua didn’t quite understand what it meant to just let the emperor be satisfied.
Shen Qing chuckled: "I want to save face, so I went on an autumn hunt and asked someone to carry me back. I was laughed at by so many people, so I slapped the emperor in the face. If the emperor asked me to slap him in the face, wouldn't he get angry at me?"
This was said to the outside world. Actually, Xuanyuan Ling was rejected by her once and wanted to save face, but this could not be considered as losing temper.
By doing this, he not only saved his face, but also protected her. Otherwise, she would have made such a big fuss this time. If she continued to be favored, how many people would hate her?
Shen Qing smiled.
Since you've protected me this time, I won't hold it against you for what you did to me that day.
Sometimes people can't just hold on to something. Once you've achieved the effect you wanted, you should let it go and move on to the next step.
Shen Qing was in a good mood. After eating, she did whatever she had to do. She was very good at finding things to do and enriching herself. After entering the palace, she learned a lot.
After all, she is very free now.
Xuanyuan Ling was having breakfast over there, and suddenly she thought that this time the matter had gotten out of hand, and if she took away her green card, she was afraid that some people would take advantage of the situation.
"Tell the imperial kitchen to ensure that Zhaohua Palace is not short of food." Xuanyuan Ling said casually.
Zhao Hai had already figured it out, so he was not surprised at all and agreed immediately. Then he heard Xuanyuan Ling say, "The weather is good today, let's go to the Imperial Garden for a walk later."
What time is this?
Zhao Hai felt that there was something fishy going on, but he still found someone to do it.
The Imperial Garden is close to Zhaohua Palace, so naturally someone would see the emperor coming. Xuanyuan Ling was strolling around, and Shen Qing got the news. Upon hearing the news, Shen Qing raised his eyebrows and said, "Well, we are close, it would be a pity if we don't run into the emperor by chance."
Xuanyuan Ling arrived at the Imperial Garden and pretended to stroll around, with Zhao Hai following behind him. Then Zhao Hai saw Shen Qing coming and ran into him.
When Shen Qing saw Xuanyuan Ling, she seemed to be completely surprised. She bowed down in front of him and said with a honeyed voice: "Greetings to the Emperor."
Xuanyuan Ling's heart melted when he heard this.
