Chapter 21 Xuanyuan Ling's Prank
Fortunately, dinner was delivered at this time. Shen Qing just hoped that he would stop thinking about embroidery, so he was particularly attentive during the meal.
However, the weather was getting hotter, and while eating, Shen Qing was bitten by mosquitoes all day, right on the side of his face. It was not known whether Shen Qing's skin was too tender or the mosquitoes at this time of year were poisonous, but after being bitten all day, a large red spot appeared, and it was about to swell up.
Chen Qing wanted to scratch it again, but Chunhua said, "My dear, don't use too much force, it will easily break."
But Xuanyuan Ling was there, and Chunhua didn't want to remind him too much. The women in the harem hated most that the emperor saw them in such a miserable state. How could she have been bitten by a mosquito by such a coincidence?
He looks so embarrassed with all his face red. He was supposed to sleep with the emperor tonight, but isn't the emperor about to leave now?
Shen Qing frowned and felt uncomfortable.
Xuanyuan Ling saw it and turned around and said to Zhao Hai: "Go find the imperial physician."
Chen Qing wanted to say something but it was too late. Zhao Hai turned around and left. Chen Qing thought, why did he call the imperial physician to see him after just one mosquito bite?
Xuanyuan Ling, however, was thinking differently when he looked at her red little face. Chen Qing must care about her face. After all, there is no woman in the harem who doesn't care about her face. It's just that her position makes it difficult for her to invite the imperial physician every day. Although it is just a mosquito bite, the injury on the face is not a big problem.
Soon the imperial physician came. After checking Shen Qing's face and taking his pulse, he said, "Your Majesty, Mr. Shen's physique may be different from that of ordinary people. His skin is more susceptible to mosquitoes than ordinary people. It will also become red and swollen after being bitten by mosquitoes. Applying ointment can reduce swelling and itching. In the future, be careful to avoid mosquitoes and it will be fine."
Doesn't it mean that mosquito bites will be like this from now on? As the summer solstice approaches, the weather is getting hotter and hotter, so there will naturally be more and more mosquitoes, so mosquito bites are inevitable.
"Is there any way to prevent her from doing this in the future?"
The doctor said, "I can prepare an insect repellent sachet and hang it on your body to avoid insects."
"Yeah." Xuanyuan Ling was satisfied.
Chen Qing smiled slightly, but she was still itchy at the moment, so she treated her face first. It would have been fine if she hadn't applied the ointment, but once she did, she found that the ointment was actually black. It was pitch black, and half of her face was black. Chen Qing glanced at Xuanyuan Ling and felt embarrassed. With this honor, she couldn't serve him in bed.
With such a pitiful look, Xuanyuan Ling beckoned her: "Come here."
Shen Qing walked up to Xuanyuan Ling cautiously, thinking that with her current state, Xuanyuan Ling would not be able to eat her no matter how beastly she was, right?
Xuanyuan Ling just looked at her face and even said soothingly: "It's okay, it will be fine after applying the ointment."
Shen Qing blinked twice, then nodded.
She thought Xuanyuan Ling would leave after seeing her like this, but he looked at her and didn't leave. He washed up and, since he came early today, went to find some books to read.
Seeing that he really had no intention of fighting, Shen Qing felt a little incredible. Since they knew each other, could it be that tonight was the first night they did nothing but chat under the quilt?
Xuanyuan Ling read a book for a while, and then Shen Qing helped her change into pajamas and go to bed. Shen Qing was still not used to it, so she didn't do anything when she got to the bed. She glanced at Xuanyuan Ling several times, and then smiled secretly.
Xuanyuan Ling saw her giggling and frowned: "What?"
Shen Qing held his arm and shook him: "Happy."
Are you so happy even if you don’t sleep with me?
Or, will she always be this happy as long as she is with him?
Xuanyuan Ling didn't think she was being unbridled and clingy. After all, she was delicate. She must have had a little redness and swelling on her face because she was afraid that he would leave. Now that she was sure that he was really not leaving, she was very happy.
He felt a little soft in his heart and let her hold his arm like this.
Although there was ointment on her face, there was none on her body. He asked her to hug one arm and rubbed his arm across her chest. It was soft there and he could feel it clearly.
Xuanyuan Ling, who just pretended to be a gentleman, now has some gentlemanly burdens. He can't just go back and ask her to sleep with him now, right?
I can't afford to lose this person.
Xuanyuan Ling said unhappily: "Go to bed."
This time when Xuanyuan Ling woke up, he turned around and was shocked to see Chen Qing's half face covered with ointment. Then he remembered that he had slept with Chen Qing last night. That was ointment, and the ointment looked even more horrible after Chen Qing had been rubbing it all night. Last night it was only half of her face, but now it was most of her face. Xuanyuan Ling reached out and poked Chen Qing's face. Some ointment stained his hand. He wanted to wipe it off, but suddenly he looked at the other half of Chen Qing's fair face and reached out to press a finger print on her.
Xuanyuan Ling had never done anything so outrageous, but looking at the half of her face that looked like a little cat, she didn't think the black ointment on her face was ugly at all, and it was even a little funny.
That day, he didn't even call Chen Qing to help him put on his court robes. He didn't even get dressed in the room, but went to the outer room to do so. He told Chunhua, "Don't wake her up."
After all, he had done something bad, and there was no telling what expression the little thing would have when it woke up and saw the fingerprints on its face.
The emperor felt a sense of pleasure after doing something bad.
There was a smile on every corner of his mouth.
Chunhua agreed, and she felt relieved after a night of worry. Seeing Chen Qing's behavior last night, she really thought the emperor had turned around and left.
Zhao Hai was also very happy in his heart, wow, she is really spoiled.
When Xuanyuan Ling left the room and told him to ask the imperial physician to make more mosquito repellent sachets and send them to each palace, Zhao Hai sighed again, this Chen Liangren is really blessed, this is really the emperor's concern, if he sends them to each palace, it won't seem so conspicuous that Chen Liangren has only one sachet, right?
Xuanyuan Ling was in a good mood when he left Zhaohua Palace, and this good mood lasted for the whole day.
When Wang De came over with the green sign, Xuanyuan Ling looked around and before he chose one, he announced, "The Queen Mother has arrived."
Xuanyuan Ling's hand also fell.
Wang De and Zhao Hai, who were standing by, both felt that something bad might be happening. At this moment, the Queen Mother's intentions were clear.
The Queen Mother waved her hand and told them to leave.
Xuanyuan Ling saluted the Queen Mother in a serious manner; even in private, the mother and son were very polite.
The Queen Mother did not stop him, but said, "I came here today because I heard that Concubine Yu punished the newly arrived Concubine Fang to kneel down a few days ago. Does the Emperor know about this?"
"I have been busy with government affairs these days, so I haven't heard about it."
Xuanyuan Ling almost made the Queen Mother feel uncomfortable. She frowned and said, "You have spoiled this person. She is taking advantage of the fact that she is pregnant. Concubine Yu is really lawless. It is really intolerable. If this continues, I am afraid she will climb over the Queen. This is not acceptable if it breaks the rules."
