Chapter 86: Coaxing People
Chen Qing thought about this, her face was not very good, Chunhua was beside her bringing her some snacks, she had noticed that Chen Qing's face was not very good since the incident with the Second Prince, now she whispered: "The Imperial Kitchen has prepared pearl cakes, please have some, Your Excellency."
"Yeah." Shen Qing wasn't so hungry that he couldn't eat.
She was eating the pearl cake. It was said that there were no such snacks in the past, but now her food was far more than what a noble lady should have.
Obviously, this was specially ordered.
Now she has enough food and drink, and she picks the best to send to Zhaohua Palace.
After eating some sweets, Shen Qing's originally tense nerves felt much better.
She always felt happy when eating, but there was another thing that also made her happy.
The queen had made all sorts of calculations, but she was afraid that she might have missed one thing.
After this incident, Concubine Yu is likely to regain favor.
Xuanyuan Ling would definitely not let Concubine Yu go on like this. Her position would be unstable without favor. Not long after he ignored Concubine Yu, the incident with the Second Prince happened. Some people thought that Concubine Yu had lost her power and dared to do something to her behind her back. He would definitely let everyone see that Concubine Yu was still favored and that she even had the Third Princess.
Restore your favor.
There is nothing wrong with regaining favor. Now Chen Qing is really looking forward to Concubine Yu regaining favor.
She hoped that Concubine Yu would not be devastated by this blow. She hated Concubine Yu and would never forget the fact that she was almost beaten to death. But now she knew that the plot had changed.
Although the queen is cruel, Concubine Yu is still useful. At least she still has her position as a concubine. Although the second prince is gone, there is still the third princess. There are few children in the palace now, and the princess is also precious. With her competing with the queen, the harem may be more peaceful and the queen will not focus on others.
The Queen could have used her as a weapon against Concubine Yu. If Concubine Yu was deposed, who knew whether the Queen would plot against her because of her favor?
Even though she would not have children, who knew the Queen's vicious mind.
It's best if they hold each other back.
Chen Qing was thinking that Concubine Yu would regain her favor. As expected, after the second prince's funeral, Xuanyuan Ling went to Zhongyu Palace as usual.
Concubine Yu was indeed restored to favor.
Even though the Queen gritted her teeth when she received the news, it could not change the result.
There were also people in the harem who had other thoughts. They felt sorry for Concubine Yu for losing her child, but as long as the emperor visited her often, she would eventually have a child.
As for the Queen, Xuanyuan Ling asked her to reflect on her mistakes, but now she really refuses to go on the first and fifteenth days of the lunar month. On the surface, it seems that she blames the Queen for her poor management of the harem because of the death of the Second Prince, but few people know what is really going on.
A month or so after the second prince passed away, the matter gradually calmed down and no one talked about it in private.
After accompanying Concubine Yu for more than ten days, Xuanyuan Ling hesitated for a long time when he saw Chen Qing's card when he turned over the cards.
He has been with Concubine Yu for more than ten days. Given her temper, she would probably be angry, right?
She looked at the rules, but in fact she might not understand that the Second Prince felt sad about the loss of Concubine Yu. In fact, Xuanyuan Ling felt in her heart that Chen Qing was almost killed by Concubine Yu. Now it was normal for her to be unhappy that Concubine Yu had regained her favor and not understand Concubine Yu's pain of losing her son.
What do you want her to understand? There is already a grudge between them, so it's good that she doesn't plot against Concubine Yu.
Xuanyuan Ling thought for a while and looked back at Zhao Hai: "What's going on in Zhaohua Palace these days?"
Zhao Hai said: "Zhaohua Palace has been closed these days."
"Yeah." The little girl closed the door and lived her own life again. Xuanyuan Ling had been feeling uncomfortable for the past few days because of the Second Prince. Now that she heard the news, she thought she should be more content: "Then go and see her."
Zhao Hai exhaled the sun's breath, thinking that after all these tense days, the Emperor could finally relax. Concubine Xi was still the best. Look, everyone in the palace was giving the Emperor trouble, except Concubine Xi, who always made the Emperor feel at ease. If she wasn't favored, who would be?
Xuanyuan Ling's carriage went to Zhaohua Palace.
Chen Qing hadn't slept yet. She had been playing mahjong all day and couldn't stop. She was having a great time when she heard rumors that Xuanyuan Ling had come. She felt a little strange.
Isn't this the time when Concubine Yu regains her favor? Why doesn't he stay with her for a few more days?
"Greetings to the Emperor." Chen Qing hadn't seen Xuanyuan Ling for some time, and the look he gave him at that moment was truly profound.
Xuanyuan Ling could hardly bear the look from her.
"Go in first."
It’s their habit to go inside and talk.
Xuanyuan Ling glanced at Chen Qing casually, but she happened to be looking at him. She looked embarrassed as if she was caught, or as if she was in a bad mood, and turned away all of a sudden.
This cute girl just wanted him to come and blamed him for not coming. Now that he is here, she is throwing a tantrum again.
Xuanyuan Ling's heart melted again when he saw this. He went into the inner room and hugged the person in his arms before the door was closed.
Shen Qing exclaimed softly and then covered her mouth, as if afraid that people outside would hear her.
Xuanyuan Ling looked even happier, lowered his head and rubbed her nose with it: "Do you miss me?"
Shen Qing was stubborn for a moment, but didn't say anything.
Xuanyuan Ling was not annoyed. He knew that she blamed him for not coming. To prevent her from thinking too much, he told her the truth: "I cannot let Concubine Yu fall out of favor again. She has always been domineering, unlike you. If she falls out of favor, she will be easily missed by others."
As for who he was thinking about, he didn't say. With Chen Qing's intelligence, he knew she would understand. After all, if she didn't understand, how could she do such a thing as paying respects to the queen after sleeping with her?
Xuanyuan Ling knew that she was smart, but there were some things he was still willing to say.
Shen Qing was also surprised when she heard this. He actually said such words to her?
Shen Qing thought about it and decided to express her attitude: "I don't like Concubine Yu."
Xuanyuan Ling thought that this little thing was quite frank. He kissed her forehead and said, "Just live your life peacefully."
"Yeah." This sound was full of joy.
Is this because he is happy about his statement? Is he no longer angry?
"Did you miss me?"
After the explanation, you have to ask for a nice word.
Shen Qing found it a little funny when he heard it. It was amazing. An emperor explained to his concubine and asked her to coax him after the explanation. It was obvious that he wanted her to coax him, right?
Of course she coaxed him, but she didn't say it blatantly. She lowered her head and said quietly, "I thought about it."
Xuanyuan Ling felt relieved: "Then serve me in bed."
Chen Qing looked somewhat unhappy again: "Your Majesty came to my place just to ask me to sleep with him." Chen Qing would not have said these words before, because the relationship between her and Xuanyuan Ling was really just a physical one.
But now that he has explained it to her in person, she is trying to push it further.
