Chapter 77 Greetings Again
Xuanyuan Ling still has to save face after all. If he really did something with Chen Qing outside, he would feel uncomfortable. Not long ago, he was a well-behaved person who didn't even get intimate with concubines during the day!
He was really itching to bite, so he suddenly hugged Shen Qing, and when he heard her exclamation, he suddenly became ambitious and wanted to make this little goblin know how to be afraid.
Zhao Hai was just watching from afar, and when he saw the palace lanterns go out, he felt conflicted, but now the person has returned.
The servants around knelt on the ground and watched Xuanyuan Ling carry Shen Qing in.
Chunhua and Fangyun looked slightly worried in Zhao Hai's eyes. Zhao Hai thought that this Concubine Xi really knew how to train servants. She would usually only do things to make her master happy.
But Concubine Xi's experience was quite tough, wasn't it? The Emperor had brought her back in such a rage, so I'm afraid it won't end so easily.
Xuanyuan Ling really wanted to teach Shen Qing a lesson, but once they got to the bed, the little thing begged for mercy before they even started.
“It can’t be too intense.”
Xuanyuan Ling couldn't stand this grievance, his face turned black: "You are ignorant!"
After all her teasing, she was still trying to resist? If she refused again, he would be really angry. After all, the arrow was on the string.
Shen Qing found that his hand was not very strong, and he was actually still concerned about her, which showed that he was not distracted by her.
Then, let him lose consciousness for a while?
So she showed a very aggrieved and shy expression on her face: "I am a little scared."
Xuanyuan Ling's desire and anger were aroused by this little thing. If this continued, he would really torture her to death.
"Serve me well in bed, and don't make any noises!" How dare she torture him like this on the bed? She was really brave, and she finally added, "Be gentle."
As a result, the next moment, Shen Qing said: "Can this concubine come by herself?"
Xuanyuan Ling: “…”
The anger in his heart was extinguished by her delicate test.
"What?"
Shen Qing's face was a little red and she pursed her lips, feeling very embarrassed: "Every time I come back, it's me who begs for mercy. I'm just fine. Your Majesty, can you give me some grace? This time, I'll come by myself. In this way, I won't be afraid of the pain."
Xuanyuan Ling's Adam's apple rolled up and down as he looked at the enchantress in front of him. His brain twitched for some reason, and he didn't even know how he got this little thing to crawl onto his body.
Well, Shen Qing is extremely treasonous.
In general, after a long absence from sleeping with Shen Qing, both of them were quite satisfied. Xuanyuan Ling hadn't slept with Shen Qing in his arms for a long time, and now that he held her body in his arms, he felt that they were very compatible, so they fell asleep leaning on each other.
When Xuanyuan Ling left the next day, he saw that Shen Qing had not woken up. Now that he was with Shen Qing, he no longer had the habit of asking Shen Qing to help him put on court clothes. After all, he had servants, so he might as well ask her to sleep a little longer.
Not long after Xuanyuan Ling went to the morning court, Shen Qing woke up.
Chunhua was a little surprised: "Why don't you sleep a little longer, my lord?"
"I'm worried about something, so I can't sleep." If she has something on her mind, she will wake up early, but Xuanyuan Ling has already left. She said, "Please help me dress up. We are going to Fengyi Palace."
The Queen was asking Jinzhi to help her with her dressing, but she looked very unhappy.
At this moment, the palace maid outside reported: "Your Majesty, Concubine Xi is here to pay her respects."
The queen's eyes turned fierce: "Call him in."
Jinzhi glanced in the direction of the door intentionally or unintentionally.
When Shen Qing arrived, she saluted the queen and said, "I pay my respects to Her Majesty the Queen."
"Why did Concubine Xi suddenly come today?" The Queen smiled and called out.
Shen Qing looked very obedient, so naturally he didn't dare to sit down and just stood there.
"You are well now. You went to bed with the emperor yesterday as soon as the green card was put back. It shows that the emperor is thinking of you. You must serve him well in the future." The queen smiled as she looked at her. "What's the matter today?"
"I came here today to thank you, Madam."
Shen Qing knelt down again.
"I haven't slept with you for a long time. Thanks to the Empress' care and the Empress's opening of the day for me in front of the Emperor, the Emperor finally remembered me. After entering the palace, I have been deeply favored by the Empress. I am really grateful."
Instead, she attributed the credit of Xuanyuan Ling turning over her card to the Queen, and she looked very sincere.
When the Queen heard this, she immediately said, "Why are you kneeling again? Please sit down, Lady Jinzhi Fuxi."
Jinzhi hurried to help Chen Qing up, and Chen Qing just got up. Jinzhi was combing the queen's hair just now. Now the bun is done, but the hair accessories have not been chosen yet. Chen Qing looked at it and couldn't help but said: "Why don't I help the queen to wear flowers?"
When the queen saw Chen Qing's dress, she had the impression that she was very good at dressing up. When she was a concubine, she could dress herself up well with the few jewelry she had. Now that she is a noble, she has been rewarded with many things, but she does not dress too ostentatiously. The few pieces of jewelry on her head can only make her look more elegant and refined.
The queen nodded.
Chen Qing smiled as she dressed up the Queen. After she was done, the Queen was very satisfied and even chatted with her about what hairstyle was suitable for what face shape. Then Chen Qing came out of Fengyi Palace with a smile on her face.
The queen was angry at first, and the emperor's behavior was too obvious. Even if he went to see the pregnant Concubine Fang after seeing the queen, and then went to see Shen Qing, it would not embarrass the queen.
Of course, the Queen would not do anything at the moment. After all, Chen Qing was still useful, but it was unknown what his use would be in the future. However, Chen Qing was flattering her and pretending to be her grandson this time, which made the Queen feel a lot more comfortable.
It's fine as long as Concubine Xi knows the rules. After all, she knows the rules and is a sensible person. She doesn't break the rules just because she is favored. She also knows to come and express gratitude, which is good.
When Chen Qing came out of Fengyi Palace and was on the palace road, he unexpectedly ran into Xuanyuan Ling's imperial sedan chair. It seemed that he had just left the court.
But Xuanyuan Ling's face was not very good at the moment. At the morning court today, a group of old ministers, citing the reason that filial piety is the most important virtue, talked about the empress dowager's 45th birthday, saying that it would be best to hold a grand celebration for the sake of good luck.
When Xuanyuan Ling saw that everyone who proposed this was in collusion with the Chen family, it was obvious who was behind this.
His expression had not been good since the morning court session, and Zhao Hai did not dare to say a word.
Just as he was walking back to the Imperial Study from the palace road, he ran into Chen Qing who was coming out of the Queen's Palace to pay his respects.
Xuanyuan Ling saw Shen Qing walking slowly on the palace road, and couldn't help but stop when he met her: "Why are you here?"
Chen Qing seemed not to notice the low pressure of those around Xuanyuan Ling, and just said honestly: "I will go to pay my respects to the Queen."
Xuanyuan Ling immediately realized what was going on. He hadn't seen her for a long time and was missing her, so he became anxious. He was a little perfunctory towards the Queen, and the little thing noticed it, so he went to coax the Queen today.
There was something on his mind, but it didn't stop him from thinking that Shen Qing was smart and thoughtful. No wonder she was so pleasing to his heart. It was true that she was just a little trick, but he didn't mind, right? After all, it was good as long as she didn't break the rules.
