Chapter 80 The Second Prince and the Third Princess
Xuanyuan Ling calmed down and was not in a hurry to ask Shen Qing to sleep with him. Instead, he asked her, "Did you have a good dinner? Do you want to eat more?"
Shen Qing blinked twice. Wow, has this person changed? He didn't overwhelm her after talking to her, but ate first?
"Your Majesty, are you hungry?"
"Didn't the imperial physician tell you to take care of yourself and eat more meals a day and less each time?"
Shen Qing said: "That's right, but I'm not very hungry. If Your Majesty wants to eat, I can eat with you."
How sweet! I'm not hungry, but if you want to eat, I'll accompany you, as if the food tastes better if we eat together.
Xuanyuan Ling called Zhao Hai over and gave him instructions: "Go up according to what Lady Xi likes."
When Zhao Hai heard this, his opinion of Shen Qing's status in the emperor's heart rose to a higher level. My goodness, how could the emperor do things according to the noble's preferences?
He has followed the emperor for so many years. When Concubine Yu was the most favored, she only asked the emperor to pick up food with chopsticks, and Concubine Yu was extremely happy. But now Concubine Xi asked the emperor to change even the rules.
Chen Qing didn't know what sudden change had happened to Xuanyuan Ling's mind just now, but she did feel it. However, it was really a good thing for him to be nice to her now, so she gladly accepted it.
After eating, Shen Qing felt different again when he was in bed.
At the end, Shen Qing was really as soft as spring water. Her face was red, and she looked at Xuanyuan Ling with a bit of a wandering look. What medicine did the dog emperor take wrong today? Why did he use all his tricks on her? She couldn't resist it, but it wasn't that she couldn't resist it because it was uncomfortable. She was so comfortable that she almost forgot herself.
Xuanyuan Ling looked at her little appearance and raised his hand to touch her eyebrows and eyes, smiling happily: "Is it fun?"
Shen Qing was used to teasing people, but she never thought that there would be a day when she would be blocked by the emperor's dirty talk and unable to have sex.
After this day, Xuanyuan Ling went to the Queen's place twice in a row, which was unprecedented, although both times he talked about the Queen Mother's birthday.
But the queen saw that Shen Qing was respectful to her, and the emperor came twice after serving him in bed. Thinking of Shen Qing's attitude, she couldn't help but feel that Shen Qing had something to do with it, and she became more and more satisfied with Shen Qing.
Moreover, this time the Emperor did not ask Concubine Yu and Concubine Chun to assist her. This was a very big matter.
The Queen knew that she had power in her hands, and she was much happier than before.
Xuanyuan Ling handed the matter of the Empress Dowager's birthday over to the Queen. In the court, he punished those who needed to be punished and investigated those who needed to be investigated. However, he deliberately uncovered a case because of this matter.
At the beginning, he exempted Ganzhou from tribute because of the severe flood and dangerous mountain roads. Unexpectedly, the local officials pretended to obey and actually asked people to transport the tribute in the rain. It happened that a landslide occurred and more than a hundred people died tragically. This matter became a big deal, not only because of the deaths of those people, but also because of the many officials and interests involved.
When he was angry in his own dynasty, everyone in the previous dynasty felt insecure.
There were many things going on in the previous dynasty, and the harem was not peaceful either. After all, the queen had started to prepare for the queen mother's birthday banquet.
Xuanyuan Ling said that the Empress Dowager should celebrate her birthday in a grand manner and she dared not slack off. There were many things to do for the Empress Dowager's birthday and the Empress was very busy, but she still had to pay her respects on the day of the rule.
Shen Qing went back very early again this time, but she didn't expect that when she returned, Concubine Shen was already there. Shen Qing didn't communicate with her much. Others came one after another, and Concubine Yu also came.
Concubine Yu came today in a very proper manner without any delay. She had not seen Xuanyuan Ling for a long time. She had thought that Xuanyuan Ling would definitely come to see her when he wanted to see the child. Unexpectedly, Xuanyuan Ling wanted to see the child so much that he simply asked someone to take the child to Qianyuan Palace, although he was not unwilling to send the child back.
But now it is obvious that she doesn't like Concubine Yu. Although she has not been punished, with Concubine Yu's temper, she has to pay her respects to the Queen on time.
Everyone still paid their respects to the Queen in unison.
The queen looked around and smiled.
Only Concubine Fang did not come. Concubine Fang is now seven months pregnant and is already very old, so there is no need for her to pay respects.
Seeing Concubine Yu's face, the Queen's smile deepened: "Concubine Yu has become more and more well-behaved these days. I hope it will continue like this."
Every time Concubine Yu comes, the Queen will call her out by name, and this can't be good.
Concubine Yu was secretly pinching her nails to pieces, but she still had to maintain her dignity and said sarcastically, "It's all thanks to the Queen's guidance."
The Queen looked at her and went to look at someone else. Anyway, they just chatted for a while and ended up talking about the Queen Mother's birthday.
The queen not only has to arrange the affairs of the palace, but also has to take care of the formal dresses and gorgeous clothes. She has to prepare the empress dowager's formal dresses, and she also has to arrange the auspicious clothes that the other concubines in the palace will wear at the birthday banquet.
So he gave away cloth and jewelry as rewards.
Concubine Yu usually disdained these things. The rewards from the Queen were always like a reminder from the Queen that she was above her. Now, everyone else was happy to receive the rewards, but Concubine Yu was the only one who looked a little unhappy. However, she couldn't get angry on the spot.
Especially seeing that Chen Qing also got a piece of Yunjin, which was something that only concubines could use, but the queen just gave it to a noble lady. Is this really a promotion?
Look at the way the other concubines around them look at Chen Qing and Yun Jin.
Concubine Yu looked at Chen Qing, who looked quite happy, with some sarcasm, "Be happy, there will be a time for you to cry in the future. Do you really think the queen is a kind person?"
Once everything that needs to be said has been said and the rewards have been given, it is almost time to pay respects.
Over there, Concubine Yu came out of Fengyi Palace with a bad look on her face.
She really hadn't had a good night's sleep for a long time.
She felt uneasy as long as the emperor didn't come. In the past few days, she began to take care of the two children every day and do everything by herself.
Although Wan Zhao felt that Concubine Yu had a bad temper, she was still devoted to her children. He had served her for many years, and it was the first time he saw her so haggard that he felt distressed. He returned to Zhongyu Palace and asked someone to bring the second prince and the third princess over.
The two children are now almost four years old. After all, they are children of the palace, so they learned the rules early and look like little adults.
Concubine Yu was in a better mood. "I'll ask someone to measure your bodies in a while. Your grandmother will celebrate her birthday in a few days. You must be well-behaved then. You are still young, so you don't need to prepare any gifts. Your mother will prepare them. But you will have to say a birthday speech. You must memorize it from today on."
The third princess responded obediently: "I know."
The second prince followed suit: "I know that too."
Concubine Yu stayed with them for a while and ate something together. Only when she felt tired did she ask someone to take them away. Now, her only comfort was these two children.
